    denominations be equally free and independent ; while they prize faith , may they , after apostolic usage , hold charity to be more excellent ; never more may Intolerance distract our councils and put in conflict all the evil passions , nor Bigotry again poison ' the cup of blessing . ' May all our Houses of Prayer be schools of every amiable and generous virtue , and may our youth

    be trained up in them to filial piety , to the love of their country and the love of all mankind , to unity of spirit with the holy and merciful Jesus , and to the child-like fear and cheerful worship of the Father Almighty ; and may they transmit these sentiments and habits to their children , and they to theirs , till time , and with it the distinctions of race and country , shall be no more . —Pp . 20—22 .

    A TALE . One dreary winter ' s morning , a funeral , the preparations for which were of the most sordid kind , was made ready to set out from an alley in one of the lowest districts of the city of London . It was not regarded with any respect by the gazers . They looked on with less curiosity than is observable in the country , where such a spectacle is less common : but

The example was presently imitated ; and as the bearers turned the corner , the rusty pall was sprinkled with snow-balls .

    It was soon observed that one who bad been supposed to belong to the funeral-train had not departed with it . He wore a black coat , and was certainly a stranger in the place , and the neighbours therefore looked to see him go into the bouse where the death had taken place ; but when they saw the door shut while he stood watching the boys at their rude play , they regarded him with suspicion , and many—for good reasons doubtlessclosed their doors and retreated from the windows .
