ft M v, wheri; IS GOD? Where is lit ? Ask his emblem, The glorious, glorious sun. Who glads the round world with his beams Ere his day's long course is run. Where is lit'? Ask the stars that keep Their nightly watch on high. Where is He? Ask the pearly dews. The tear-drops of the sky," Where is He? Ask the secret founts 1 hat feed the boundless deep; The dire simoon, or the soft aiijht-brecze Thru lulls the earth to sleep. Where is He? Ask the storm of fire That bursts from Etna's womb, And ask the glowing lava-flood That makes the land a tomb. Where is He? Ask the Maelstrom's whirl, Shiv'ring tall pines like glass; Ask the giant oak, the graceful iiow'r, Or the simplest blade of grass. Where is He? Ask Behemoth, Whodrinketh rivers dry; The ocean-king. Leviathan, Or the scarce-seen atom fly. Where is He? Ask the awful calm On mountain-tops that rests; The bounding, thuud'ring avalanche, Rent from their rugged crests. Ask the wide-wasting hurricane, Careering in its might; The thunder-crash, the lightning-blase, Earth all convulsed with fright. Where is He? Ask the crystal isles On aic.tic seas that sail. Or ask, from lands of balm and spice, The perfume-breathing gale. Where in the universe is found That presence-favor'd spotAll all proclaim his dwelling-place But say where is He not? V. S. 2-HtoreUautou& From the Presbyterian. THE TOURIST. The Convent of La Congregation dela Notre Dame embraces about40 nuns The object of this institution is female education, and who can withhoid his admiration from the plan on which it is conducted? The Convent is a sort of rend zvous for female teachers, who are sent out into different parts of the coutrv, vncnanu wncrc they arc needed. About three fourths ol them are generally ab vtent. The rest have charge of a fine school, kept in the Co gent. It was with jomc difficulty, that we gained admittance; but on entering, the Superior proved to be a very polite and social lady; nnd sitting down in a low and close room, well hung with pictures, though furnished in a very plain manner, and" answering for their parlour, we had a very pleasant (jifn ff trill. 1 r . :r.c u-.c.c null I1VIJ IOT SttC SpOliC UiC English with a great deal of fluency. It was play day there, as Thursday is in all the schools, and the Sisters seemed to be enjoying it. Two or three of them were sauntering about the room when wc entered; some were amusing themselves in the garden. Lhit it was in the school room, that we saw the liveliest scene. Hating approached the door, the Superior suddenly pushed it wide open, and ushered us in. And what was there? Why, half-a dozen of those gloomy sisters, snd about 60 scholars from the age of 16 do WtlWirils, all Sinfinnr rlid it:tiritirr as merrily as at a Christmas ftolic It vas a moment before they observed us; but then what confusion! The nuns' bowed and blushed, (some of them seemingly half vexed,) and politely offered us scats, and then most of them ran out. The girls were all embarrassment, and 5om; of them seemed actually to be frightened. The Superior as well as ourselves, enjoyed it very much; and she told us, that this was their mode of tak jngrelaxation and exercise. U'he habit of the nuns of this Convent tvas very similar to that of their sisters ol the Hotel de Dieu. There are several other Convents of the same name, and for the same purpose in Canada; and as an illustration of the benefit arising from -them. Mens. C told me, it was a fact that the female part of the community, -especially ,n the lower classes, wer'e more generally acquainted with letters and the rudiments of science, than the other sex. As a matter of C( u. se, t c Iir. :on is intermixed with all th,:r xnzuui tions.

the chapel, which is always kept open, and amused myself by looking 8t the pictures. At length I heard a confuted noise rolling through the long entries, in one of the upper stories, which grew more distind, until I discovered that it was the voices of the nuns, responding to each other in a plaintive chaunt. They continued this, until they came into the chapel, which they did by pus, in the most perfect order; the youngest being foicmost, and the Superior behind them all. They went up towards ti e air r, and kneeling down in the order in which they came in, commenced their prayers

These were in French, and were uttered in response to the Stipes ior, atid in a rev erent manner, though with an unnatural tone. After this, they prayed silently at few minutes, and then, at the shutting ! un of a book hv ihr. Sur.t rir.r. thrv nil I up ol a book by the Superior, thev all arose, passed up to the altar, and turning round with military precision, passed slowly out of the room. Of course their piety did not permit them to neglect crossing themselves with the holy water at the door. There were 22 of them, some of whom might be as young s 20, while others were quite advanced. Their countenances were mostly cheerful, and the younger of them had scarcely lost the glad smile and the dew drop brilliancy of early life. Their dress was grey cloth, (from which circumstance they are named,) and neatly, though singu larlv made. Their veils, or rather caps, were of blark. There was cue in the gallery of the chapel, dressed differently from the rest, uho did not come in with them, and remained at her prayers after they had retired. My cutiosity was considerably excited respecting her, but there was no one to give me any information. The three Convents which I have described, are all that exist in Mmtreal; though there is a number of similar kinds in Lower Canada, particularly at Quebec, where there ate three or four, and at Three PJvers, where there is one. How far these institutions ought to be condemned, I shall not pretti d to say; but it is almost impossible to witness the benevolencc of these self denying sisters, without entertaining great respect ior them. I have promised to say something of the Catholic places of worship in Canada, This promise I will now redeem. Liberal sums are expended upon the churches. The larger ones have generally two stee ples, and Irom one to four bells. The doors aie always open for the people to say their prayers, and are never entered without finding a number there at theii devotions. Near the doors, as in all Catholic churches, stnnd va.es of holy water. The altars aie furnished, in a manner similar to thoe in the United States ; having an image of our Saviour on the cross, stands of artificial flowers, long wax tapers, Sec. Around the altar is, generally, a slight elevation of the floor. Above it, is a painting of the saint to whose tutelary guardianship the church is committed. Paintings, often of the finest execution, har.g thickly along the walls. These aie generally persons or scene?., tnken from sacred history; though many of them miht as well have been taken from any where e!?e, for any referet ce they bear to piety end devotion. The pulpit is a large round stand, about three feet in diameter, stuck tipon the side of the wall. Appended to the church, or haid by. is the residence of the pries, or priests, ('or they home limes have hve or six otvr one chuich,) where they live in sit gio and eoiary blessedness, free from the tares and dis tractions that attend the mariiage stale. I now and then saw bovs in attendance on the altar. They bowed every time thev passed before it, or touched any of its an-1 pendages; nor wou'd they, while theie, permit any cne to keep his hat on in the consecrated p'ace. The new French Church of Montreal, (often, though erroneously, called the French Cathedral.) is probably the noblest edifice on this comintnt. It is 255 feet long, by 100 in width; and including two large galleries, will contain 10,000 persons. It has five altars, two on each side of the church, and one principal one at the end Over this last, is an cnormotis window,, which is shaded by a semnransparent sot which is painted a variety figures, taken mostly lypse. 1 hese have ptarance in the day iut ituuLULu ui me ngiit upon through the window.

I do not know how much M has been expended upon this building; uut it is not yet finished. 1 he two steeples are yet to be run up about 125 feet above the rcof; and another marble statue is to be set up, in an arched caviiy, on the front cf the church. The two already there , uit, t urucc, i.uciic.cu io represent two of the apostles, and though as large as life, are so much elevated, as to loo quite small. Irdeed thc first thing noticed by the traveller, on approaenmg the city, is this eroimous church, which is about two thirds higher than the buildings around it. The Catholics have other places cf worship besides the churches, particu larly in the country; vi2: neat, but very small chapels, with a little cupola and

also, large wooden crrssrs, the centre, of which is encircled ith a rude reprc- i

sentation of a crown of thorns. To each of these crosses is also appended a Utile ; ca?e, with a glass front, enclosing a small metallic image of our Saviour cn the cross. They are visited by all the con-1 gregation, on a certain holiday, every j year. j I A QUAKER JUMPING A DITCH, j We like the Quakers vei y much, who ' are Quakers in deed, as well rs name; but Hezekuh was a Uickorv Quaker. 1 He was somewhat of an old bachelor; and : had a sister who waw somewhat of oid maid.

'Never thee mind, Dorcas," returned Hezekiah; "there's no danger. I've jumped many a bigger d'rch when I wasn't half my present size." "All that is vet) likely. But nccollect, Hezekiah, thce'3 grown exceedingly pursy since thec was a young man reason before. th r- . n " "Ay, but thee'll touch thy feet to the bottom " "Thee's but a woman, Dorcas; and thy fears magnify this narrow ditch even to a river.

Nay, do not ho'd me; for I am resolved to jump this ditch, if it were meiely to convince thee of my agility." Accordingly Ilrzr.kiah went back a few yards, in order that he might have a fair run; and that the impulse theicof might caity him over. Having retreat cd far enough, he came foiwaid with a momentum proportioned to his weight :i 1 1 r 1 his Vfldrilv :tnrl nm i liiuicll in il. , ,. : .
