placable genius of bigotry is giving way,-and that divine as well as illustrious grace of CHARITY, which thinketh no evil, is beginning, like yonder sun in the heavens, to shed its rays over the Christian world! These sentiments are founded on the evangelical predictions of Isaiah, the most pacific and conciliatory of all the prophets. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling together; and a little child (the emblem of innocence and peace) shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed, their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaning child shall put his hand on the cockatrice den. THEY SHALL NOT HURT NOR DESTROY in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover thc sea.

Under any, and under every form of REVEALED TRUTH, we hail the accelerated spread of Knowledge, Purity, and Joy!

Say, REASON, say,

When shall thy long minority expire?
When shall thy dilatory kingdom come?

Haste, royal infant-to thy MANHOOD spring!
Almighty when mature to rule mankind!
Weak are the outward checks that would supply
Thy bridle's place within the secret heart-
Thine is the majesty-the victory thine!
For thee reserv'd o'er all the wrongs of life!
The pigmy rapine, whose invasions vex
The private scene that hides his head minute
From human justice-it is thine to end!
And thine the Titan-crimes, that lift to Heaven
Their blushless fronts, and laugh at laws-to thee
All might belongs-leap to thy ripened years-
Mount thine immortal throne, and sway the wORLD*
