" P . 25 . This advocate of the

      Bible Societies , consistently , and with equal earnestness , contends for the education of the children of the poor , the happy effects of which he shews to be fully exemplified in the independent feeling , industry , and aversion to becoming paupers , which prevail among the mass of the people in in Scotland .

      W"Ethink the observations of this writer authorize his conclusion , that " The more we consider this interesting subject , the more probable it appears , that the re-union of virtuous persons in a future state ,

      does form a part of the gracious defeign of Providence : and that , with such modifications only , as will be necessary to a new and more exalted state of existence , the benevolent ajfections which have constituted our

      happiness here , will continue to be the sources of bliss hereafter . An expectation so delightful tends to elevate the mind and purify the affections . It renders life more happy -y death more easy . It expands the heart in gratitude to God , and in good will to all mankind . "

      AVTER shewing that the abolition of war is practicable , this sensible writer answers the pleas usually urged for its recurrence , states in a concise and forcible manner its evil nature and tendency , and suggests a plan to be adopted by the friends of

      peace for its prevention . Though we much fear the spirit of the gospel will not soon triumph over the spirit of war , we earnestly recommend Mr * S ' s . plan to the consideration of out readers .
