wfrfk from the scots magazine the november garden in spring 1 risited this spot a thousand herbs and honors were bloom ing and eglantine ovrhtmg this grot tlj aprils balmy breeze perfuming th primrose opened to the sun and languidly the daffodillies roclirihiebnshlul bad begun to smile beneath the yellow lijies- i cam in summer shrub apd flower tiio changed in hiictere still before me twas cloudless noon i sought ihe bower that throw its welcome shadows oer me and as i rested on its cat absorbed in silent meditation the bee was gathering litjuicl sweet rrom the bosom of the soft carnation again i come to vjow the scene lvliosi- smurner hues i well remember tis strippd of pride shorn of jirocn beneath ihe rude sway of november the melody ofsoueis mute except the robins lonely ringing the trees have shed their leaves and fruit and weed in every walk are springing the morn is cold the sky is pale the winds no more are silence keeping like childhood at a mournful tale oer vanished bloom the clouds are weep ing i look upon the lonely sky it wanes as whn a daughters duty stayed by a haughtv fathers eye opposes love anil withers beauty all all is changed as the simoom sad passed with withering magic over no trace of beauty or of bloom can sense perceive or eye discover bui wild and waste and desolate a wilderness is stretched around mo and where mid summers smiles i sate novembers wintry breeze hath found me the lilac boughs are tinged with red the yellow leaves profusely lyins the flowers have bent or bend the head the latest of the train are dying hark hs die voice of nature crites shall pride and passion vanquish rea son will man b never never wise heaven is his home and life a season m from the commercial advertiser millirs speech avc hare heretofore published several of the speeches delivered by charles piumips btfqj the celebrated irish or ator both in public political meetings and in courts of justice we have now the pleasure of presenting a specimen of his eloquence on anew and very different occasion the following the substance of a speech which he delivered at chel tenham england on the 7th of october at the fourth anniversary of the glou cestershire missionary society it will probably be considered by many of our readers as one of his happiest efforts mr phillips came forward and thus addressed the chairman c sir after he eloquence with which so many gentle men have gratified and delighted this most respectable assembly and after the almost inspired address of one of thm i feel aljnofit ashamed of having acceded to the wishes of the committee by proposing the resolution which 1 hive the honor to submit i should apologise sir for even the few moments intrusion which i mean to make upon this meeting if i did not feel that i had no right to consider my self as quite a stranger did i not feel that the subject unites us all into one rat snciat familv and nivr n tp moan est sojourner the claim of a brother and a friend applause at a time like this perhaps when the infidel is abroad and the athefcf and the disbeliever tri umph iji their blasphemy it behoves the humble i christian to range himself be neath the banners of his faith and at test even by his martyrdom the sinceri ty of hid allegiance great applause when i consider the source whence christianity has sprung the humility of its origin the poverty of its disciples the miracles of its creation the mighty sway it has acquired not only over the civilized world but which your missions are hourly extending over lawless mind less and imbruted region i own the awful presence of the godhead nothing less than a divinity could have done it the powers the prejudices the su- perstitiousof the earth were all in arms against it it had nor sword nor sceptre its founder was in rags its apostles were lowly fishermen its inspired pro phets lowly and uneducated its cradle was a manger its home a dungeon its earthly diadem a crown of thorns and yet forth it went that lowly humble persecuted spirit and he idols of the heathen fell and the thrones of tiie mighty trembled and paganism saw her peasants and her princes kneel down and worship the unarmed conqueror this admirable portrait of the divine spirit and attributes of christianity reus hailed frith the most enthusiastic pcab of tjjwrobation if this be not the work of the diviuity then i yield to the rep tile ambition of the atheist i see no god above f see nogovernment below and i yield my consciousness of an im mortal soul tn his boasted fraternity with ihe worm that perishes but sir even when i thus concede to him the divine origin of our christian faith i arrest him upon worldly principles i desire him to produce from all the wisdom of the earth so pure a system of practical morality a code of ethics more sublime in u con ception more simple in its moans morc happ and more powerful jj tion and if hr cannot do so i thr u say to him ob in the name of your nun darling policy tilch not its guide from youth its shield from manhood and its crutch from age great applause though the light i follow may lead me astray still i think it is light from ilea- ven the good and great and wise are ray companions my delightful hope i harmless if not holy and wake me not to a disappointment which in your tomb of annihilation i shall not taste hereaf ter to propagate the sacred creed to teach the ignorant to enrich the poor to illume tiis world with the splendours of the neit to make men happy you have never seen and to redeem millions you can never know you have sent your hallowed missionaries forward and ne ver did an holier vision rise than that of this celestial glorious embassy ap plause jvictliinks 1 see the band of witling exiles bidding farewell perhaps forever to their native country fore going home and friends and luxury to tempt the savage sea or men more sav- age than the ntging element to dare the polar tempest and the tropic lire and often doomed by the forfeit of their iives to give their precepts a proof and an ex piation applause it is quite de lightful to read otgt their reports and sec the blessed product of their labors they leave no clime

where providence lor some special purpose permits these i ttle in sular specks to hold above one hundred millions in subjection a phenomena scarcely to be parallelled in history the spell of brahma is dissolving the chains of caste are falling oil the wheels of joghernaut arc scarce ensanguined the horrid custom of sclfimmolntion is dailydisappeatingj and lie sacred stream of jordan mingles with

lias been the success of your mis sions in that country thv one of your own judges has publicly a rowed that those who left india some years ago can form no fast estimate of what now exists there turn
