said he; our highest conceptions of it are poor, and faint, and unworthy. But your opinions, my friend, must be erroneous.'-Thus he attempted, not only with me, but with all around him, to speak to the heart.

I have little more to say, my dear father. Travers gradually led me to form all my opinions and sentiments as he himself did, simply from scripture; and in doing so, that glorious One, who is the manifestation of the Godhead, became daily more precious to our souls. I was in this state of mind and of feeling, my beloved father, when I heard of your illness. I shall say no more; Travers was then tolerably recovered, and was all to me that one human being could be to another. His letters after I was with you, were, next to Heaven, my comfort and support. You must conceive what I felt, for I cannot describe it, when I saw you, my beloved father, an humble searcher for the way of life, in that very

Bible in which Travers had pointed it

out to me.

On my return to Cornwall, I found my friend perfectly recovered; and he is now actively employed in all his useful labours of love and kindness. He has also taught me that I may be of some use to my fellow-creatures. I anticipate with delight, the time when I shall have it in my power to introduce to each other's acquaintance, my most kind and beloved father, and my beloved friend.

A. HOWARD.

(CONWAY rests his forehead on his hands, and continues for some time in deep reflection. HowARD enters. CONWAY turns round.)

How. I thought I should find you thus employed, my dear Conway. Have I been right? Have you found our dear Arthur's account of himself interest you?

Con. Most deeply. Dear Arthur!blessed spirit!-there is no gloom in

thinking of his departure to another state. And what a friend Heaven gave him! Is this the Travers you mentioned to me?

How.

He is. I have more to tell you of him; but I must now join my family at morning prayers. I came to say, dear Conway, that I shall be obliged to leave you for some hours after twelve o'clock. You know many of our friends are to meet you here at dinner, and to-morrow you must leave us. Yet I must have some further conversation with you. Will you finish those papers while I join my family, and allow me to order breakfast for you and me afterwards in the Library? We shall thus have some hours conversation; and my family may have you all to themselves, when I am obliged to be absent.

Con. An excellent plan. I shall come to the Library, as soon as I have finished these memorials of my heavenly young friend.

How. Adieu, then, for a little, my

dear Conway.

[Exit HOWARD.]

CONWAY alone. Opens some papers, on which are written, in HowARD's hand, Fragments written after Arthur's conversion.'

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. To whom are those words addressed, and by whom? By God the Father to God the Son. To him who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,' yet left all, and veiled that glory, and undertook to bear the sins of the whole world, and • took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man,a man of sorrows, and acquainted with

grief!'-who was despised, and had not where to lay his head !-yet who, amidst all this, spoke to the winds and the waves, and they obeyed him; cast out devils, raised the dead, and proved that he was Lord of the world, of hell, and of death, and the grave!-who felt our feelings, and, being God and man, was able, and in his love chose, to bear all the burden of our guilt! Now our victorious exalted Lord, Lord of heaven and earth !—our all-prevailing Intercessor !-our HighPriest, who bears upon his heart, before God, the names of all his true Israel. Oh for language to express his glory! How immeasurably distant are our poor conceptions, from the fulness of even what is revealed! Yet the impressions left on our souls, after having received, by the light of his Spirit, some perception of his glory,-of his inconceivable perfections,—his power to fill and satisfy, beyond its highest capacity, every faculty of the soul,-of his irresistible power in
