and so effectually refuted, as no longer to deserve our notice. The ancient fathers never meant to inform us what the Trinity really was, but only how it might in some degree be illustrated; and, for this end, they certainly discovered many similitudes, which, though not strictly applicable, were sufficient to show, that a triune subsistence was not, in the nature of things, either an ab. surdity or an impossibility." + Α + See Huntingford on the Trinity, § xv.

T Sapcote in LeicesterAshire, in his 54th year, Mr. Joseph Smith, an opulent grazier there. As he lived beloved, so he died lamented by all who knew him. His skill in music, and an uncommonly fine voice, uniformly and regularly exerted in aid of the Public Worship of the Established Church, to which he was sincerely and zealously attached, contributed to render the Sapcote choir, for many years, one of the most respectable in the county. In consequence of a paralytic seizure in the autumn, he had been for some months deprived of the use of his right leg and hand; but he bore his affliction with the patience and resignation of a Christian, and expected his dissolution with a hope full of immortality. At Blymhill, Staffordshire, in his 80th year, John Brotherton, labourer, a native of that parish. During eighteen years of his youth, he faithfully served his country in the grenadier company of the 37th regiment, and fought with that corps at the his battle of Minden. Boldness and intrepidity strongly marked the countenance of Brotherton. At the first sight of him, a person of ordinary discernment would have said, "this man is a hero." His aspect was open; his complexion ruddy: breast remarkably prominent. The strength of his body was prodigious. He was the strongest of three brothers, whose bodily powers, when in their bloom, could not, probably, be matched by those of any three members of the same family in Great Britain.

An anecdote illustrative of the care of divine Providence, well deserves to be recorded in this account, which is written chiefly for the purpose of introducing it; the truth of the fact may be relied upon. Immedi ately on leaving his native cottage, to enter the army, Brotherton took with him a small Bible, determining to make it the com |
