HEAR THE CROSS. BY 0. C. DI'NN. There arc flowers that ne’er shall wither, BloSsoms that shall-ne'er decay: They are found beyond this planet. In the realms of endless day. If you fain would taste these flowers, • Blooming in immortal bowers— Bear the Cross. There arc hopes that never crumble— Lustrous hopes that die— Hopes that bud upon this tair eaith, But which ripen ’yond the sky. If these hopes, that ne’er shall perish, Yu desire to have and cherish — Bear the Cross. There are friends who live forever— Friends whom death have sent before — Through the dark and silent valley To a far sublimer shore. Would ye have these friends forever— By your side, and leave them never— J Bear the Cross. There are never-dying pleasures— Pleasures sweet and holier far, Than the bodiless enjoyments. Which around about us arc. Do you wish to find these pleasuses, These celestial, priceless treasures? Bear the Cross. There are bright and fadeless beauties, Constellated by God’s hand, Where the gentle waves of music Flood with melody a land. If you fain woßld see these beauties, Never trifle with life’s duties — Bear the Cross. There are never-,clouded glories— Gloriesrolx’d in holy awe — There are splendors that are grander Than this world of ours e’er saw. Would you, when your life-ties sever, Gaze upon these glories ever— Bear the Cross. Thcre’sa life which ne’er shall slumber — There are blisses blent with love, And if you be ever faithful You’ll experience them above, | Where, when cometh Death’s to-morrow. You shall, purged of every sorrow, V car a Lrown. ■s : ! —————- ‘Be Master of thy Anger. The maxim which Pcriander of Cornith, one of the seven sages of Greece, ieftas a memorial of his knowledge and benevolence, was, —‘be master of thy anger.’ — He considered anger as the great disturber of human life, the chief enemy both of public happiness and private tranquility, nnd thought that he could not lay on posterity a stronger obligation to reverence his memory, than by leaving them > a salutary caution against this outrageous | passion. There is in the world a certain class of mortals, known and contentedly known, by the appellation of ‘passionate men’l who imagine themselves entitled by that distinction to be provoked on evei y slight occasion and to vent their rage in vehement and fierce vociferations, in furious . menaces, and licentious reproaches. Their rage, indeed, fur the most part’ fumes away in outcries of injury, and protestations of vengeance, and seldom proceeds to actual violence, unless some helpless person fall in their way, but they interrupt the reach of their clamors, obstruct the course of conversation, and disturb the enjoyment of sociecty. Those sudden burst of rage generally break out upon small occasions; for life, unhappy as it is, cannot supply great evils as frequently as the man of fire thinks it fit to be enraged; therefore the first reflection upon his violence must show him that be is mean enough to be driven from his post by every petty incident, that he is the mere slave of casuality, and that his reason and virtue are in the power of the wind. It is told by prior, in a panegyric on the Dude of Dorset, that his servants used to put themselves in his way when he was angry, because he was sure to recompense them for any indignities which he made them suffer. This is the round of a passionate man’s life; lie contracts debts when he is furious, which his virtue, if he has virtue, obliges him to discharge ■ at the return of reason. He spends his time in outrage and acknowledgement, injury and reparation. Or, if there be g, any who hardens himself in oppression, and jnstifies the wrong because he has done it, his insensibility can make small part of his praise, or his happiness; he only adds deliberate to hasty folly, aggravates petulance by contumacy and destroys the only plea that he can offer for the tenderness and patience of mankind. Yet, even this degree of folly, wo may be content to pity, because it seldom wants a punishment equal to its guilt.— Nothing in more miserable than the old age of a passionate man. When the vigor of youth fails him, and his amusements pail with frequent repetition, his occasional rage sinks by decay of strength into peevishness; that peevishness, for want of novelty and variety, becomes habitual; the woild falls off from around him, and he is left, as Ilomer express it, •to devour hi- own heart in solitude aud contempt ’

Christianity Elevates the Mind. The Christian religion enobles and en- , larges the mind beyond any other profession of science whatsomever. Upon that scheme, while the earth, and the transient enjoyments of this life, shrink ,J into the narrrowest dimensions, and are accounted as ‘th* dust of a balance, the ' drop of a bucket, yea, less than nothing,’ the intellectual world opens wider to our view. The perfections of the Deity, the nature and excellence of virtue, the dig-; nity of the soul, are displayed in the largest characters. The mind of men seems to adapt itself to the different nature of its objects; it is contracted and debased 'by their being conversant in little and low things, and feels a proportionable ' enlargement arising from the comtemplatiou of those great and sublime ideas, i The greatness of things is comparitive: J and this does not only hold in respect of extension but likeness in respect of digni-' I ty,duration, and all kinds of perfection. — ' I Astronomy opens the mmd, and alters I our judgement, with regard to the magnitude of beings; but Christianity produces a universal greatness of soui. Philosophy increases our veiws in every respect, but Christianity extends them to a degree beyond the light of nature. How mean must the exalted potentate | upon earth appear to that eye which takes in innumerable orders of blessed spirits, j differing in glory and perfection! How little must the amusements of sense, and I the ordinary occupations of mortal men, , seem to one who is engaged is so noble a i pursuit, as the assimilation of himself to the Deity, which is a proper employment' I of every Christian! I And the improvement which grows habituating the mind to the comprehensive views of religion must not be thought I wholly to regard the understanding. — Nothing is of greater force to subdue the inordinate motions of the heart, and to I regulate the will. Whether a man be -bv bis passoins or his reason, these are first wrought upon by some object, which ■ stirs the soul in proportion toils apparent dimensions. Hejice irreligious men, whose short prospects are filled with earth and sense, and mortal life, are invited by these mean ideas to actions proportiona- , ble little and low. But a mind, whose veiws are enlightened an extend by relig- '■ ion, animated to nobler pursuits by moie ; sublime and remote objects. I There is not any instance of weakness ' in the infidels that raises ones indignation more than their pretending to ridicule Christians, as men of narrow understandings, anj to pass themselves upon the world for persons of superior sense, and more enlarged views. But we leave ; ; it to any impartial man to judge winch ' has the nobler sentiments, which the greater views; he whose notions are stinted to a miserable inlet of sense, or he whose sentiments ere raised above the; common taste, by the anticipation of those ' delights which will satiate the soul, when ' ’ the whole capacity of her nature is branched out into new factt’ies? He who looks for nothing beyond this short span of duI I ration, or he whose aims are co-extended with the endless length of eternity? He who derives his spirit from the elements, 1 or he who thinks it was inspired by the ’ Almighty? . Misfortune. To escape misfortune is to want instruction, and to live at ease is live in ignorance. As no man can enjoy happiness without thinking that he enjoys it, the experience of calamity is necessary to a just sense of better fortune; for the good ' of our present state is mere comparative, and the evil which every man feels will j ’ be sufficient to disturb and harrass him, if he does not know how much he escapes, j The lusticof diamonds is invigorated by , the inposition oi darker L -dies; the lights of picture are created by the shades — The highest pleasure which labor heighti ens into delight is of itself only case, and | is iacapable of satisfying the mind with* ■ out the superaddition of diversified arause- . ments. Prosperity, as is truly asserted by Seneca, very much obstructs the knowledge of ourselves. No man can form a just estimate of his own powers bv unactive i speculation. That fortitude which has cncontered no dangers, that prudence , j which has surmounted no difficulties, that integrity which has been attacked by no temptations, can at best be considered i but as gold not yet brought to the test, of which therefore the true value cannot be assigned. Ir is said that two ot a trade can never agree; yet we often see two and even three Taylors (tailors) meet, and be very friendly.

PROSPECTUS’ HDI.UA STATE SEATIWI, 1851. The proprietors of this establishment deem it almost unnecessary to urge upon the Detune, racy of the State, the importance of largely increasing the circulation of the Sentixei.. a faithful and candid exposition of Democratic principles aud policy is all that is necessary to secure their continued ascendency in their,itiih of the people, and this can be best accomplished through the medium ofthepress. And tonrake success easy in the future, our people should be thoroughly informed and receive correct in. pressions upon all the party issues and public questions of the day. As it has been in the past, this will be the continued object of the Sentinel and to the I'aitliful accomplishment of this duty, ite proprietors will give all their ability, energy and zeal. In return we shall ask of the Democracy of the State a liberal and hearty support. ln"doing ns a service personally, they will have t] le satisfaction of knowing that they will sow broadcast, sound principles and just sentiments. We hope that every democrat will feel it his duty to be asoliciting agent in his own neighborhood, for in no way can he accomplish greater good than in the circulation of a paper true to its faith. The Sentinel should have a circulation in t lie State of Fifty Tbovsaxb, and it can be accomplished if the Democracy of the State will it. W r ith a little effort on the part of our friends, this numberof subscribers canhu obtained in thirty days. As the central Organ of the party we shall know no men, interests or cliques! and it shall 1 be ourairnto doequaland exact justice to all. Our duty is to be the advocate and exponent of ! the principles and measures of the party, and whoever they shall select as its Representative Men, to give them an energetic aud cordial sup. port. The administration of Mr. Bfchaxan will soon be inaugurated. Every democrat should be interested to know the sentiments and policy ■of the man of his choice. Congress is in session and the people should keep informed of the do ingsofth ir servants. Th 1 Legislature of this State will assemble lon the 7th January, and every citizen of the I * commonwealth should waten, with nn anxious I ! eye, all that concerns our State Interests. The I : Sentinel will contain full reports upon nil tliese I topics, motives enough we think to induce every man to take our paper. In addition we shall i keep our readers informed upon all the current ■ news of the day, domestic and foreign. We ’ will give full report' of the mark- ts, and all j,.
