YOUR papers not only feein to gain ground in this neighbour¬ hood, but frequently to become the fubject of conversation, and I mull confefs that they have one merit which difpiays judgment and difcrimination. You dwell much on domeftic life, and on thofe du¬ ties which all may practice in this fequeftered country. Manyfubjects which might be highly amufing and inftfuclivc In a large city, would be of no ufe in the woods, becaufe they arc fuch as we have never fccn nor will ever have an opportunity of feeing, and from thc difcription of which we could derive no moral advantage. Your papers on prayer appeared rather dull to fome of thc younger people, but they gave much plealure to the old. This circumftancc how¬ ever fio---i\; tfos pto^ri^ry cY >.r- commodatino; vouriclf ro your rca- dcrs—you might connect your re¬ flections with forvj c.T.ur.pl°, or combine them with feme ik>ry fo as to keep up thc attention, :md make an iniorcl'i'on on youthful minds. The ereat excellence of family worihip was never better illuitratcd than intheCottcrsSatur- day flight Ot the lamented Burns. This fnort poem is indeed beauti¬ ful throughout, but in that part where it ddcrilxs thc father of the family preparing himfelf to offer up his devotions, it rifes to the fublime to read the following ftanza with- out being affe&ed :— Then kneeling down to Heaven's eternal , king, The faint, the father 3? thehufband prays— Hope fprings exulting on triumphant wing; That thus they all fliall meet in future days. There ever baflc in uncreated rav9, No more to fieh or ftied the bitter tear, Together Hymning their Creator's pra!;e. In fuch fociety yei dill more dear, While circling time movfes round in an eter¬ nal fpherc. I cannot indeed envy the feel¬ ings of thofe who can perufe this without any emotions, or who do not take a delight in conceiving to themfelves the pleafure which a venerable father mull enjoy in fuch an holy excrcife. Here he plcafes himfelf and his houfehold in the prefence of his benevolent Maker—-c>!pofes his whole foul be¬ fore him—every thought by w hich it is agitated—every with, every anxiety—he implores all fuitable bhffings upon himfelf, his wife and children with a liveliness of faith, that iiilures their being granted m as fir as they will prove beneli- cial, llisibal becomes more elc- vated a.* he proceeds, and he expe¬ riences an inconceivable pleafure in adoring the divine perfections which are for ever ditfurmg health and happinefs through the whole of animated nature. He commits himfelf and family with the moil folid hope to God's moil holy keep¬ ing and gives full fcope to every pious and grateful affection. Here it is not ncccflrtry as on other oc* caflons to reft rain his feelings—he ennnot cxprefs his thanks too ftroii'vU", he cannot befeech God to i trent*tlienthe amiable cliipofitions >£ his heart witJi too much earned- God is the object of them. Indeed the difpoiitions proper for prayer are fucli as can never rife to excels in the rational mind. Can we ev¬ er be too grateful to God—can sve love him too much—can we eftecm and venerate him beyond what is juft. Can we cxprefs too great joy and confidence in his loving kind- T'ne choevfu' fupper done, \vi' ferians f-»cc They round th'- Ingle Form n circle wide, Thc Sire turns o'er with Patriarchal grace Tl.^U^Ka— Bible,ancehi< F.-v-irNprid-;. jagfe. or in,l?rced.Q with too much His bonnet ,cv,re.tlyi, hid .f.dc, imnortunity for thole he love:.

S«on ^ m long as he is finccre, the ar- gvjc lections cannot be too interne wn He waler. a poition v.ith jiiiicioos cr.re : And let us wuinip God, he fays, with tolemri air. Mr. Burns ufed to remark that when a father ot a family laid— " let us worfiiip God," an cxpref- lion always ufed on fuch occaiions in Scotland, it made a great imprei- fion upon his heart. lie was ac- cuftomed to think that thc parents thus employed with their children around them exhibited a mofi. fub¬ lime picture, & evinced thc beauty and the advantage of Religion in thc molt forcible manner. It was feheie imprerTtons fovery honoura¬ ble to thc bard, that induced him to attempt, by writing a Poem, to bring them home to others. And in this poem he has fucceeded beyond all expectations. Not that we would award equal praife to all its parts—wc do not think for inftance that he has been always happy in the parts of Scripture &- lecled to be re*d. The reference to thedeftruction of Amalak might have been omitted, and our Saviour WORlTs GEOGRAPHY, F?f*k nt this Ojfi:-. Webfter's SpeHing-Books, F'rfole nt this Office. might have been brought more prominently forward. Yet per¬ haps thefe are not defects, when we recollect the .character of the Cotter, who cannot be fuppofed from his fituation in life to have been capa¬ ble of choohng, on all occaiions, the moil proper places. It doesnot appear to me poiUble fog a.ay w>ne nefs, goodnefs and mercy—can we become too fenfible of our depen- dance upon him, as the Supreme difpofcr of ail events, the arbiter of our lot and our everiafting re- fUgc—can we feel too great forrow at the difordcr of our hearts—our errors, fins & infirmities—can we be too much debafed in his pre¬ fence—cxprefs too much haired of Sin—too much readinefs to for¬ give and to blefs our enemies— can we put on too itrong resolutions to cultivate virtue and piety—to be benevolent and kind to our fellow creatures and to be altogeth - er fuch as becomes the difciples of thc blchVd Jcfus. I cannot forbear making one more quotation from tliis beautiful poem, which will be felt bv every well difpofed pcrfon and thrill tothebrcait-ofeverypa- rent :— Then homeward ^1 take nff their fe*er»1 wav.
