Prayer is the sours sincere desire, Utter'd or unexpress'd; The motion of a hidden fire, That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When r.one but God is near. Prayer the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Pi aver is the sublimes strains that reach The majesty cn high. prnver h the christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; Ills watchword at the gites of enters heaven with prayer. praver "u the contrite sinner's voice, R turning frcm his way?; While anrels in their sonirs rcfoice. And cry, "Behold he prays.' Ifl prayer cn earth the saints are one In v.ord, in deed, in mind; Vhfn with the father and the Son Suctt fellowship they find. Xcr rr.v.-rr is made fn earth alone; Th Holy Spirit plead; And JtMis, on the eternal thrcne, For sinners intercedes. O Thou, by whom we come to God, The Iife the Truth, the Waj! The path of prayer thy sell hast trod; ,ord, teach us hovr to pray. POETICAL EPISTLE. frcm an Irishman lately landed in Jfverica to his charmer in Irekind.

V?htn ' Dr. John Thomas, fwho died bishop of Salisbury in 1766,) was chanhin to the British factory it Himhurgh, a gentleman of the factory being ill, was ordered into the country for the benefit of the air: accordingly he went to a village about ten mile3 distance; but sfter fomc short time died there. Upon this application 'was made to the parson of the parish for leave to bury him in the church yard. The parson enquired what his religion was, and was told that he was a calviinst. No, (says he,) there are none but Lu therans in my church yard, and there shall be no other. This said Dr. Thomas) was told me, 3nd I wondered that a man of any learning or -understanding should hae such ideas. I resolved to take my horse, and go and argue the matter with him, but found him inflexible. At length I told him, he made tne think of a circumstance vrhich once happened to myself when I was curate ot a church in Thames Street: I was burying 2 corpse, and a woman came and pulled me by the sleeve in the midst of the service Sir, sir, I want to speak with you. PrU thee wait till I have done. No, sir, I must speak to you immediately. Well, then, what is the matter? Why, sir, you are going to bury a man who died of the small-pox near mypoor husband who never had it. This story (continued he) had the desired effect, and thecurate permitted the bones of the poor Calvinist to be laid in he church yard.
