We marked many extracts, for insertion, but have only room for the following:

Floods remind us of our mutable and mortal condition. Under å general sentence of mortality on the nation of Israel, Moses said, 'Thou carriest them away as with a flood.'

Time, like a stream, is rolling on, nor stops its course by day nor by night. Yea, it rushes forward with rapidity like a river swelled to a flood.

Streams bend their course in vari ous directions; but all, whatever direction they take, tend to the ocean, where their waters are swallowed up and lost. Men have their different objects and pursuits; but all are alike hastening to the grave; all are pressing forward to the world of eternal retribution,

All the rivers run into the sea, and would soon cease, were they not continued by a succession of waters. The human race is preserved by a succession of mortals. One generation passes away, and another comes. Thus the inhabitants of the earth abide from age to age. The race is called the same, but the mortals, which compose it, like the waters which constitute a river, are changing every day and every hour.

It would be wise for us often to reflect on our transient condition. We are passing away like the floods; we have no abiding place on earth. Let us not set our affection on things below, but look forward to that world, to which we are going. Would a man hurried down a rapid stream, exult in his riches, because he passed along in sight of meadows, fields, groves and houses? Would he call these his own, because he beheld them, and only just beheld them with his eyes? Why should we, who are hurried through life, and carried away as with a flood, glory in the worldly objects, which we see, as we pass along, but scarcely have time to possess?

We are changing our condition, and our relation to things around us. We are passing from place to place, from object to object, from scene to scene, like men floating down a stream. This moment flies, the next succeeds, and goes off like the former, giving place to a successor. One enjoyment, or amusement departs, and another comes. One design, or employment, is defeated or laid aside, and another taken up. Here we hope for better success. Here, again disappointed, we change our purpose. We walk in a vain show; we are disquieted in vain. Like men

thrown out on a flood, we struggle for shore; we pant for rest; we seize the twig; it breaks; we are driven with the stream; we grasp the leaf; we sink; we pass from human sight, and are soon forgotten,

There is nothing stable here below;

no firm object by which we can hold, no solid ground on which we can stand. The anchor of our hope must be fixed in the grace and goodness, the promise and faithfulness of God.

FOREIGN.

Among the various works to which the literary enterprize of modern times has given birth, a complete & authentick body of British Biography is still wanting. The last edition of the Biographia Britannica, as far as it was published, is in many respects highly valuable; but its slow progress under the direction of Dr. Kippis, and the circumstances under which it was left at his death, oc

Had

casioned its suspension at that time, and afterwards its final abandonment. that work, however, been brought to its regular completion, its voluminous contents and inconvenient arrangement would have precluded it from answering many important purposes which might be accomplished by a different plan.

The form of a Dictionary hitherto adopted seems to have nothing in its
