Ex.--It emblematically distinguishes between a NEW and ANOTHER heart. For the heart of man is entirely blurred with depravity, and that principle of love to God by which he was originally actuated, sin has absolutely destroyed. This being the case with every individual of the posterity of Adam, were it possible to exchange the heart of one man for that of another, no advantage could possibly result therefrom. But on the NEW heart which the LORD gives unto his people, HE indelibly inscribes his law, and implants therein love to God and love to man. And it is by the operation of this principle, that old things are passed away, all things

me new; hence the subject of this luable favour is denominated a CREATURE. Having thus, Madam, aded to your request, I will only although these observations may at present be fully understood by visitors, I earnestly hope, the tor of the new-born soul will, in wn due time, make them personalcquainted with the important fact. you, Sir, favour me now with opinion of the representation? aster P.-I suppose it alludes to ething concerning Saul; if so, your artist has executed the dein a masterly manner, I think I O it is very well; this is her meeting of Samuel and Saul:

It certainly is exceedingly well performed; but it would be life itself, if your ventriloquist were permitted to mention the denunciation of Samuel against Saul.

-I hope, Sir, that you will your knowledge of the subject, vouring me with your assistance? nry. I accept the office with ure: Samuel told Saul, that the om of Israel should be rent from and given to a better man than -lf.

--Though you have taken a liberty with the version, it is well. Will you oblige me by eding.

nry.-Willingly: but then, Sir, must put the figures in motion. S P.-They have already begun! now Agag comes mincingly tos the prophet. Soilton t nry. And I suppose, that at the

moment which this scenery represents, he as little thought about death as the automata do now.

Miss P.-The countenance of the figure does not indicate fear, nor does Scripture mention it. However, though Agag was presumptuous, Samuel was faithful, and the offending Amalekite was slain. For though Mr. Davenport has dropped the cur tain, to prevent (I suppose) our being pained with a view of his execution yet Scripture declares, that Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord.

Mrs. P.-This I think, Sir, is a mos excellent method of proceeding. Th memory of each being exercised
