0 1s re 1 from the Report recently presented to the Socie- l

ty:-In July la.st , we were called ~p~m to visit a per-

son in Chapel-&tree~. k 0~ 1rep~mng tod ~11e place, we found a woman stc wtt 1 a e~· er an m aroma­tory sore t hroa t, in a ~onfioed ~arret-room. From h a ppea rance and t:.onversatwn, she appeared to ~~=~e bee n well brougiJt up, a~d to possess a cult i­vated mind. On fu rther mqmry, we learned she was of a r espectable family res iding in the state of Illinois. Marrying contrary to the wishes and ad­vice of her fri ends, she forfei ted thei r favour and p1·otection. Her hu sband proved to be what t~ey predicted, a worthless character. After movmg her from place to place, I.e brough~ her to this ci­ty from Mobile, the l;u,t f.'l.ll . The1r c lothes were d dtained on board the vec;scl for the price of their passage.-After much mental and bodi1_v suffering, c;he was constrained l.o make her situation known to a friend, who knew her in more prosperous days. f J e administered to her immediate wants : but something more was to be done. SB.e was in daily e xpectation of bein~ confined, and had not been able to make the sm~Uert preparation. The per­son with whom she and her husband boarded, re­fu -cd to keep them an-y longer, unless she had some prospect of remunera~ion.-Tbe city afforded no as~·lum but the Alms-house for a person in her s itn ation . The limited state of our funds at that o;cason could not afford the relie f her case required. \Ve therefore solicited the aid of a few indiv iduals, who, with the small assistance our society cou ld a fford, d e frayed her expenses for some lvee'ks. Her case was more ala rming than lVe at .first ima­gined. It proved to be a hast.v consumption. She declined rapidl.v; her infant had to be given to a nurse, .a~d she bers.elf removed to the hospital; af­ter wl11cu she surv1ved but a few weeks leavino-h . f: , 0

We e ndea­v oured to point out to her the only \Vay of a sin­ner'~ acceptance, through the atonement of J esus C'hr1st ; and by her own request brought two cler­g,vman to converse and rra.v with her. ~~ e trust she was a true penitent, and hope she was finally accepted of_the Lord.

PITCAIRN'S ISLAND .

[From the N ew-York Observer.]

B.

'Ve hn vc inserted below, from the J.ondon Evano-clicnl Ma!!'nzinc for November, some late ~1d interest ing intelligence from Pit­cairn's [ ~land. It is well !mown to most of our renders, lhnt the settlement on th i~ island owes its origin to the mutineers of the British armed vc~scl the Bounty. In the year 1789, this vessel, whi le employcc.l iu the Pncif!C Ocean, was talten frrJrn her com-

mnnder, Lieutenant William BJi.,.h bv o-f u 0 , J _ ., 0 IC ~··ew, w.ho put the Lieutenant anu 13 of lus men mto tho launch, which, afte1· a J~nssngc of 1200 leagues, rovidentially arr;;~d at n Dutch sctUen1cnt ou the islnml of lunar. The mutineers proceeded wiU1 the. vessel lo Otaheite, where 16 of U1e 25 destred to be landed, and most ofU1em were aflcr~vard taken uud sent to Great Brita in for trml. The rcm<Linit~g nine, after mnking n ~hort stay _at Otahe1to, where they took w_1 l'cs. n~u srx men ser vants, proceeded to P ttcan·n s lsluml, which wns at that time uninhabited, and out of t.he ~ommon track of Eu~open.n vessel~ . ~ere U~cy destroyed the .slup, nnd rcmnllled m entire obscurity until the year 1808, when they were ncci­df,ntally discovered by Capt. Folger of Boston, who learnt that, about six yenrs aficr U10y landed, their servants attacked anu killed all tho En:;lish, excepting one venerable old mnn, (who called himself J ohn Adams, but whose real nnme was Alc.-xander Smith;) nod lhnt the Otaheitan widows arose, Ute same ni"'ht, and murdered nll their countrymen, lca~• ing Adams alone w it11 tl1e widows and children. Since Capt. Folger's visit, several British commanders ~tave touch~d a t the islnnd, and they agree m representing the state of the new colony as remarkably happy nml interesting. The young men and women arc beautifully formed, with open, benevolent countenances, and all of Utero have the most mnd(cd E ng­l ish features. The principles of rel igion and moral ity hnve been carefully instilled into U1cir youthful minds by J ohn Adams, and thus far they have been prcscn·ed per­fectly chnstc and free from all kinds of c.le­bauchery. The Sabbath is strictly observed, and prayers a re ofl'cred up every morning and evening in the most simple nncl unat:. fcctcd manner. \ Vc nrc happy to lind these accounts confirmed by the following article from the E1·nngelical Magazine.

" A professional gentleman, who visited lhe island in D ecember J:u;t, communicated t o the Directors of lhc London l\1 issionnry Society the following p,articulnrs :-

" At tho above-mentioned period, there were residin..,. on Ute islnnd 54 pe~ons, of whom 49 w~rc the offspring of the muti­neers of the Bounty. Seven of the young men were married, and had in all 27 chil­dren, of whom 23 were under 10 years of ago. J ohn Adams presides as a pntrinrch over this interesting population. To the utmost of his power, he has cndcavoure•l to train them up in the principles of piety nn<l virtue, and lhcy nppcar to approach nearer to the state of primeval innocence and simplicity, thnn, perhaps, 11ny oUter community. Their co!'d ition .rrcsen~ a delightful picture of socml hnppmcss. '1 be

"'to.RNING A-'IONG,THE HILLS. •• Such pomp and eplenuour.

BY Dn. PERCIVAT ••

A night bad passed away among the b ills, And now the first faint tokens of the da wa Sho,.-ed in the cast. The bright and dewy star, \Vhose mission is to usher in the morn, Looked through the cool air like a blessed thing In a far purer world. Below U1ere lay • Wrapped round a woody mountain tranquilly .\ misty clould. Its edges caught the light, That now came up from out the unseen depth Of the full fount of day, and U1ey were laced With colours ever brightening. I had waked From n long sleep of many changing dreams, And now in the frESh forest air I stood Nerved to another day of wanderin~ o· Before me rose n pinnacle of rock Lifted above the wood that hemu:ed it in And now already glowing. There the b~ams Came from the far horizon and they w d . 1 · ' ro.ppe 1t n light and glory. Round its vapoury cone

A crown of far-diverging ray~ shot out, A~d gave to it the semblance of au altar Llt for the "\\'orship of the und . tl . ymg II.Ule, That centered m the circle of lh N . csun,

A DREADFUL W~ ' Fr()m a Mu wuri Paper

'\Vho has not heard of the rattl~nak per head ? An unexpected sight of eith e ~r cop. reptiles will make e11en the Lords ofth~r 0 lh~ r ec?il: but there ~ a species of worm flcreatl~n va n ous parts of thiS state, which conv ~d ~ son of a nature so deadly, that when ?o a po1. with it, even the venom of the rattleS:~re.d harmless. a .e IS

genera y IV~B near a sprmg or small stream of . water, and b1tes the unfortunate people wh ' · h h b:• f · th d · 0 are 1n t ~ a . u. o gomg ere to nnk. The brute crcat1~n 1~ never molests ; they avoid it with the same mst1nct that t eaches the animals of Peru to shun the deadly Cova.

S everal of these reptiles have lonu infested ou r settlement~. ~o the misery and dcst~uction of mo.ny of our Clt~ens. I have therefore had fre. quent oppor tumttes of being the melancholy spectator of the effects produced by tile subtle poison which t.his wor~ inf~es.

The symptoms of 1ts &ite are tcniblc- The eyes of t he patient become red and fiery, hls t ongue swells to an immoderate size, and ob­s t ructs his utterance, and dcl\rium of the most horrid character quickly follows. Sometimes in his madness he attempts the destruction of his dearest friends.. I f the sufferer bas a family, his we eping wife and helpless infants are not unfre­quently the objects of his frantic fury- m a word h e exhibits to t he life, all the detestable pwsions th at r ankle in the bosom of a. sa,·age; and such is t he ' spell" in which his senses are racked, that no sooner is the unhappy patient recorered from the paroxysm of insanity, occasioned by one bite, t han he seeks out his destroyer for the sole pur-\ pose of being bitten again! '

I hare seen a good old father, his locks as white as snow, his step slow and trembling, beg I in vo.in for his only son to quit the lurking place \ of t he worm. :My heart bled when he turned I a way, for I knew the fond hope he had cherished, \ that his son would be to him the " staff of de­clining years,, had ~upporte4 rum through many ~ a sorrow. ~ ~ Youths of Missouri, would you know the name~ of t his reptile ?

LIFE'S LI1'TLE LINES:

" .NotiJI~, ere the.v pcus au;ay, The little lind of yeJtcrday."

Lifu's "little lines," how sho~t , how faint, How fast they fade away :

Its highest hopes, its brighttJst j oys, Are compassed in a day.

Youth's bright nnd mild nod morning light, Its sunshine and its showers,

Its hopes and fears, its loves a nd tears, I ts heedless, happy hours ;

And manhood's high ami brighten'd noon, Its honour~, dangers, cares,

The parent"s pains the parent's joys, The parent's anxious-prayers,

!i'adc in old age's evl'ning grny, The twilight of the mind ;

'=Fhcn sink in de nth's long. dreamless night, And leave no trace behind.

Yet, though so changing and so b~icf, Our life's enmtful page,

It hw; its charms fOl' every grief, Its joy for every ngc.

I n yunth·s, in manhood's golden hours, Ln;es, fricnrlships strew tho way

·wilh April's earlie~t, swee test flowers, J\lld a ll the bloom of M R)" :

J\nd when old age, with wintry hand, Has frosted o'er the head,

Vi rtue's fu.ir fwi ts survive the blnst, 'Vhen all besides arc Ocd ;

And faith, with pure unwavering C'ye, Can pierce the gather\! gloom,

Anrl nnilc upon the spoiler's rage, Anti Ji,·u beJond tho tomb.

Be ours, then, virtue's deathless charm, And faith·s untiring flight;

Then shall wo rise from rlcRth ' 6 dark sleep To worlds of cloudlr.ss light.

There is mystic thread of life . So dearly wreath'u with mine alone,

That destiny'~ relentless knife At once 1nust stver both or none.

There is a form on which these eyes Have often gaz'd with fond delight-.­

By day that fonn their joy supplies, . And dreams restore it through the mght.

There i s a voice whose tones inspire Such thrills of r apture in my breast­

! would not hear a sc::raph.c?eir, U oless the voice could JOin the rest.

There is a face whose blushes t ell Affection's t ale upon "the cheek­

But pallid and one fond farewell d Pl?oclaims more l<!ve tl~~P. wor s

Without a friend-without a friend, T he world is but a wihlerness ;

Thouo-h sun arise, and rnins descend, Yet all is dark and comf01·Uess :

How sad, without one gleam of hope, · Through this lone ' vildcrness to grope.

Buds ~ay expand, and flowers awhile May blossom, only to decay;

The tr<'es may bow their heads and smilo-to Kiss'd by the breezes of thr. day;

Dut ,.0 to-ruorrow-look-and sec­Nought but U1e weeping w•llow tree.

Those beasts of prey-the passions dire;' Infest the forest of the rumd,

Not purified by culture's fire-EnJio-bteu'd by it or t·efin 'd;

But l,et"in friend~hip's. VlVid rny, And all is Eden-all iS day.

Tae wilderness begins to_bloom , Afresh-and fruits begm to grow­

Philosophy dispeb the gloom That settles on our path below,

And blest Rehgion points above, Where all is friendship-peace-and love.

On him who is t"le fr iend of all, M soul in safety ~ball depC'n~, :

Tho~gh earth may _sink._and : ktc• may fall, He is my evertnstmg ~rt r.ml ! .
