phraseology in describing" the divine influence . c < You say , you hope it is not necessary for salvation to undergo the same afflictions that I have undergone . No , my dear cousin . God deals with his children as a merciful father ; he does not , as he himself tells us , afflict
willingly the sons" of men . Doubtless , there are many who having been placed by his good providence , out of the reach of any great evil , and the influence of bad example , have from their very infancy been partakers of the grace of his
holy spirit , in such a manner as never to have allowed themselves in any grievous offence against him . * ' It is remarkable that Cowper , while with his favourite divines , Messrs . Newton , Bull , &c . he entertained the tremendous doctrines of
Calvin , could yet delight in the society of those whom the system of that theologian would teach him to regard with horror . Such besides Liady H . and several others was probably Dr . Cotton , author of " Visions in Verse , " whom he describes as a benevolent physician and a pious Christian friend . Sueh too was
the late Mr . Rose , whose life and death as described by Mr . Hayley , would have done honour to any communion , Jan . 25 . aged 68 , Mr . JLLLLY , sublibrarian at the subscription room ,
Stamford . Early in life he embarked for America . In an excursion up the country , he and his companions were seized by a party of unsubdued Negroes , [ more probably Indians ] and those who were not massacred were detained as
slaves . In this situation he was for a long period held , being repeatedly transferred from one savage chieftain to another , at the price' of a few skins of wild beasts . Having endured innumerable hardships , he at length effected his escape , and after spending some time as a school-master in America , he returned in indigence to his native country , and was indebted for a moderate subsistence to the situation he was charitab y put Into by the Public Library .

the misfortunes of the individual proved of essential benefit to the Public ; as they led her to devote her valuable life to that important profession in which the soundness of her judgment , the extent of her information , and the dignified gentleness of her manner , particularly qualified her to excel . Her plan of education was not confined to the mere
ornamental accomplishments ; but extended itself to the regulation of the mind and heart , on the principles of rational piety , and with an enlarged view of the importance of the female character . Her great success is abundantly testified by the many excellent and amiable
members of society who have been trained up under her direction ; by the warm attachment which they have uniformly continued to shew to the pre » ceptress and friend *> f their youth , and by the deep regret which not only they , but the public at large , have expressed for her sudden removal from that scene of
active usefulness , in whichrshe continued till the moment of her death . Lee others teach the meaner course of Art , To give the polish , but neglect the heart ; To point to female youth life ' s flow'ry
way ; And tell them p leasure dwells but with the gay ; On Beauty build their influence and power , Beauty , that blows and fades within an hour 1
Far , far from Her , o ' er whom we mournful bend , Youth ' s firmest guardian , best and gentlest friend , Far , far from her such precepts of the day , Which bear o ' er Fashion ' s slaves resists
less sway : HerV was the task those iessons to impart Which " raise the genius , " and which " mend the heart ;" Confer by culture dignity and grace >
And give to ornament a second place ; Make the fair form intelligent , refin d , The eye the index to the tutor'd mindv ; To plant those guides which elevate the soul , Taste to direct , and Reason to coru troul . —
—X , ong shall the memory of thy virtues rest , Tlie faithful tenant of this sorrowing breast .
