wfrfk - • • FROM THE SCOTS MAGAZINE. The November Garden. In Spring 1 risited this spot; A thousand herbs and Honors were bloom¬ ing And eglantine oVrhtmg this, grot, Tl'/j April's balmy breeze perfuming : Th»* primrose opened to the sun ; And languidly the daffodillies, RoclirihiEbnshluL bad Begun To smile beneath the yellow lijies- I cam/* in Summer; shrub apd flower* Tiio' changed in hiic,\tere still before me: •"Twas cloudless noon, I sought ihe bower. That throw its welcome shadows o'er me: And, as I rested on its -cat, Absorbed in silent meditation, The bee was gathering litjuicl sweet, r'rom the bosom of The soft carnation. Again I come to vjow the scene, lVliosi- smurner hues I well remember:— Tis stripp'd of pride, !Us shorn of jiro.cn, Beneath ihe rude sway of November ! The melody ofsoueis mute. Except the robin's lonely ringing: The trees have shed their leaves and fruit, And weed* in every walk are springing. The morn is cold : the sky is pale : The winds no more are silence keeping : Like childhood at a mournful tale, O'er vanished bloom the clouds are weep¬ ing:. I look upon the lonely sky— It wanes, as wh*n a daughter's duty,' Stayed by a haughtv fathers eye, Opposes love, anil withers beauty. All—all is changed, as the Simoom Sad passed with withering magic over ! No trace of beauty or of bloom * Can sense perceive, or eye discover : Bui wild, and waste, and desolate, A wilderness is stretched around mo ; And, where mid Summer's smiles I sate, November's wintry breeze hath found me. The lilac boughs are tinged with red; The yellow leaves profusely lyins;; The flowers have bent or bend the head, The latest of the train are dying. Hark !—'Hs die voice of 'Nature crites— " Shall Pride and Passion vanquish Rea¬ son ?— Will man b<i never—never wise ! Heaven is his home, and Life a season/1 M. from the Commercial Advertiser, * ♦ • miLLirs' SPEECH. AVc hare heretofore published several of the speeches delivered by Charles Piumips, BtfqJ (the celebrated Irish Or¬ ator) both in public political meetings, and in courts of justice. We have now the pleasure of presenting a specimen of his eloquence on anew and very different occasion. The following!* the substance of a speech which he delivered at Chel¬ tenham (England) on the 7th of October, at the Fourth Anniversary of the Glou¬ cestershire Missionary Society* It will probably be considered, by many of our readers, as one of his happiest efforts :— Mr. Phillips came forward, and thus addressed the chairman :—c* Sir, after (he eloquence with which so many gentle* men have gratified and delighted this most respectable assembly, and after the almost inspired address of one of th^m, I feel aljnofit ashamed of having acceded to the wishes of the committee by proposing the resolution which 1 hive the honor to submit. I should apologise,Sir, for even the few moments intrusion which I mean to make upon this meeting, if I did not feel that I had no right to consider my¬ self as quite a! stranger; did I not feel that the subject unites us all into one £r*at snciaTfamilv. and nivr^ *n t!«p moan* est sojourner the claim of a brother and a friend.— (Applause.)—At a time like this, perhaps, when the Infidel is abroad, and the Athefcf and the disbeliever tri¬ umph iji their blasphemy, it behoves the humble?I Christian to range himself be¬ neath the banners of his faith, and at¬ test, even by his martyrdom, the sinceri¬ ty of hid allegiance*—(Great Applause.) —When I consider the source whence Christianity has sprung—the humility of its origin—the poverty of its disciples— the miracles of its creation—the mighty sway it has acquired, not only over the civilized world, but which your missions are hourly extending over lawless, mind¬ less, and imbruted region.*—I own the awful presence of the Godhead—nothing less than a Divinity could have done it ! -—The powers, the prejudices, the su- perstitiousof the earth, were all in arms against it; it had nor sword nor sceptre —its founder was in rags—its apostles were lowly fishermen—its inspired pro¬ phets, lowly and uneducated— its cradle was a manger—its home a dungeon—its earthly diadem a crown of thorns ! And yet, forth it went—that lowly, humble, persecuted spirit—and (he idols of the Heathen fell ; and the thrones of tiie mighty trembled ; and Paganism saw her peasants and her princes kneel down and worship the unarmed Conqueror!— (This admirable portrait of the divine spirit and attributes of Christianity reus hailed frith the most enthusiastic pcab of tjjwrobation.)— If this be not the work of the Diviuity, then I yield to the rep¬ tile ambition of the Atheist. I see no' God above — F see nogovernmentbelow ; and I yield my consciousness of an im¬ mortal soul tn his boasted fraternity with ihe worm that perishes !—But, Sir, even ■when I thus concede to him the divine origin of our Christian faith, I arrest him upon worldly principles—I desire him to produce, from all the wisdom of the earth, so pure a system of practical morality— a code of ethics more sublime in \U con¬ ception—more simple in its moans—mo'rc happ) and more powerful [n Jjs -t.j>cni- tion : and, if hr cannot do so, I thr u say to him, Ob ! in the name of your nun darling policy, tilch not its guide from youth, its shield from manhood, and its crutch from age !—(Great Applause,) Though the light I follow may lead me astray, still I think it is light from Ilea- ven ! The good, and great, and wise, are ray companions—my delightful hope i* harmless, if not holy ; and wake me not to a disappointment, which in your tomb of annihilation, I shall not taste hereaf¬ ter ! To propagate the sacred creed—to teach the ignorant—to enrich the poor— to illume t!iis world with the splendours of the neit—to make men happy, you have never seen—and to redeem millions you can never know—you have sent your hallowed Missionaries forward ; and ne¬ ver did an holier vision rise, than that of this celestial, glorious embassy.—(Ap¬ plause)—JVIctliinks 1 see the band of witling exiles bidding farewell, perhaps forever, to their native country ;—fore¬ going home, and friends, and luxury—to tempt the savage sea, or men more sav- age than the ntging element—to dare the polar tempest, and the tropic lire, and often doomed by the forfeit of their iives to give their precepts a proof and an ex¬ piation— (Applause.)—It is quite de¬ lightful to read OtGT their Reports, and sec the blessed product of their labors.— They leave no clime miTMted, no peril uneucountered. In the South Sea Isl¬ ands they found the population almost eradicated by the murders of idolatry. c It was God Almightj ,' says the Royal Convert cf Ofaheitc, * w ho sent your mis¬ sion to the remainder of my people V I do not wifih to shock jour christian ears with the cruelties from which roll have redeemed these islands. "Will you be¬ lieve it, that they had been educated in such cannibal ferocity, as to excavate the earth, and form an oven of burning stone-, into which they literally threw their liv¬ ing infants, and gorged fh.'ir infernal ap¬ petites with the flesh ! Will you foelh vc it, that they thought murder grateful 10 the God of Mercy !—and the blood of nine of these islands those abrmii<atio;i: are extinct—infanticide is abolished— their prisoners are exchanged—*o. iet) is now cemented by the bond of brother¬ hood, atld the accursed shrines that brea¬ med with human gore, and bln/ed with human unction, now echo the songs of peace and the sweet strains of piety- In India, too, where Providence, lor some special purpose, permits these I ttle in¬ sular specks to hold above one hundred millions in subjection—a phenomena scarcely to be parallelled in history— the spell of Brahma is dissolving—the chains of Caste are falling oil'—the wheels of Joghernaut arc scarce ensanguined— the horrid custom of sclf-immolntion is dailydisappeatingj and (lie sacred stream of Jordan mingles with the Ganges— —(Great applause,)— Even the rude soldier, 'mid the din of arms, and the li¬ cense of the camp c makes (says our Mis¬ sionary) the Bible the inmate of his knap¬ sack, and the companion of his pillow.1 Such lias been the success of your Mis¬ sions in that country, thv.: one of your own Judges has publicly a rowed, that those who left India some years ago, can form no fast estimate of what now exists there.—Turn from these lands to that of Africa, a name I toow can mention with¬ out horror. In sixteen of th.ir towns and many of their islands, we see the Sun of Clii'i tinniiv arising, and as it rises the whole spectral train t{ Superstition vauidiin;; in air.

Oir religion has its va¬ rious denoininnfiois, but they are strug¬ gling to (he same nnn^ion, though by dif¬ ferent avenues, ant when I meet them on theirvvav—I care iot whether they be Protestant or Pre oyterian, Dissenter or Catholic, I know nem a> Christians,and I will embrace thmi as mv brethren.— w [This noble and literal sentiment was re¬ ceived with the wannest burst of heartfelt sympathy and delight.] — I hail then, the foundation of such a Society as this—I hail it. in many r-p.'.fs as an happy omen—I hail it a- tn augury of that co¬ ming day when till bright bow of Chris¬ tianity, commencing in the heavens and encompassing the nrth, shall Include the children of every cime and color beneath the arch of its pronisc and the glory of its protection.—Sir I thank this meeting for the more than courtesy with which it has received mo, aid I feel great pleas- ure iti proposing ths Resolution for their adoption."
