"Scpt. 1, 1806. A large number of my companions of both sexes, with whom I have associated this summer, are in deep distress for their immortal souls. Many, who were formerly gay and thoughtless, are now in tears, anxiously inquiring what they shall do to be saved. Oh how rich is the mercy of Jesus! He dispenses his favors to whom he pleases, without regard to age or sex. Surely it is a wonderful display of the sovereignty of God, to make me a subject of his kingdom, while many of my companions, far more amiable than I am, are left to grovel in the dust, or to mourn their wretched condition, without one gleam of hope.

Sept I have just parted with my companions, with whom I have spent three months at the Academy. I have felt a strong attachment to many of them, particularly to those who have been hopefully renewed the summer past. But the idea of meeting them in heaven, never more to bid them farewell, silenced every painful thought.

Sept. 10. Been indulged with the privilege of visiting a Christian friend this afternoon. Sweet indeed to my heart is the society of the friends of Emmanuel. I never knew true joy until I found it in the exercise of religion.

Sept 18 How great are the changes which take place in my mind in the course of one short day! I have felt deeply distressed for the depravity of my heart, and have been ready to despair of the mercy of God. But the light of divine truth has this evening irradiated my

Sept. 20. This has been a happy day to me. When conversing with a christian friend upon the love of Jesus, I was lost in raptures. My soul rejoiced in the Lord, and joyed in the God of my salvation. A sermon preached by Mr. M. this evening has increased my happiness. This is too much for me, a sinful worm of the dust, deserving only eternal punishment Lord it is enough.

Oct. 6. The day on which Christ arose from the dead, has again returned. How shall I spend it? Oh, how the recollection of mispent Sabbaths, embitters every present enjoyment. With pain do I remember the holy hours, which were sinned away. Frequently did I repair to novels, to shorten the irksome hours as they passed. Why was I not cut off in the midst of this my wickedness?

Oct. 10. Oh how much have I enjoyed of God this day! Such views of his holy character, such a desire to glorify his holy name, I never before experienced. Oh that this frame might continue through life.

"My willing soul would stay

In such a frame as this;
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bhss."

This is my birth day.

Thirteen years of my short life have gone forever.

Oct. 25. Permitted by my heavenly Father, once more to hear the gospel's joyful sound. I have enjoyed greater happiness than tongue can describe. I have indeed been joyful in the house of prayer. Lord let me dwell in thy presence forever.

Nov. 2. How wonderful is the superabounding grace of God! Called at an early age to reflect upon my lost condition, and to accept. of the terms of salvation, how great are my obligations to live a holy life.

Nov. 4 Examination at the Academy. The young ladies to be separated, perhaps for life. Oh, how affecting the scene! I have bid my companions farewell. Though they are endeared to me by the strongest ties of affection, yet I must be separated from then, perhaps never to meet them more, till the resurrection. The season has been remarkable for religious impressions. But the harvest is past, the summer is ended, and there are numbers who can say, we are not saved

Nov. 25. A dear Christian sister called on me this afternoon. Her pious conversation produced a solemn, but pleasing effect upon my mind. Shall I ever be so unspeakably happy, as to enjoy the society of holy beings in heaven?

"Oh to grace how great a debtor!"

Dec. 8. I have had great discoveries of the wickedness of my heart these three days past. But this evening God has graciously revealed himself to me in the beauty and glory of his character. The Savior provided for fallen man, is just such a one as I need. He is the one altogether lovely.

Dec. 7. With joy we welcome the morning of another Sabbath. Oh let this holy day be consecrated entirely to God. My Sabbaths on carth will soon be ended, but I look forward

with joy unutterable to that holy day, which will never have an end.

Dec. 8. This evening has been very pleas antly spent with my companions, H. and S B. The attachment which commenced as it were in infancy, has been greatly strengthened since their minds have been religiously impressed. How differently are our evenings spent now from what they formerly were. How many evenings have I spent with them in thoughtless vanity and giddy mirth. We have been united in the service of Satan; O that we may now be united in the service of God.

Dec. 11. This morning has been devoted to the work of self-examination. Though I find within me an evil heart of unbelief, prone to depart from the living God, yet I have a hope, a strong, unwavering hope, which I would not renounce for worlds. Bless the Lord, O my soul, for this blessed assurance of eternal life.

Dec 15. Grace, free grace is still my song. I am lost in wonder and admiration, when I reflect upon the dealings of God with me. When I meet with my associates, who are involved in nature's darkness, I am constrained to cry with the poet,

"Why was I made to hear thy voice,

And enter while there's room?

When thousands make a wretched choice,

And rather starve than come.'

Dec. S. This day has past away rapidly

and happily. O, the real bliss that I have

1807.

Jan. 3. A sweet and abiding sense of divine things, still reigns within. Bad health prevented my attending public worship this day. I have enjoyed an unspeakable calmness of mind and a heart burning with love to my exalted Savior. O, how shall I find words to express the grateful feelings of my heart. O, for an angel's tongue to praise and exalt my Jesus!

Jan. 5. I have had exalted thoughts of the character of God this day. I have ardently longed to depart and be with Jesus.

Jan 9. How large a share of peace and joy has been mine this evening The society of Christians delights and animates my heart. O how I love those, who love my Redeemer.

March 25. Humility has been the subject of my meditations this day. I find I have been greatly deficient in this Christian grace. O for that meek and lowly spirit which Jesus exhibited in the days of his flesh.

March 25. Little E's birth day. Reading of, those children who cried hosanna to the Son of David, when he dwelt on earth, I ar dently wished that this dear child might be sanctified. She is not too young to be made a subject of Emmanuel's kingdom.

May 1. Where is the cross which Christians speak of so frequently? All that I do for Jesus is pleasant, Though perhaps I am ridiculed by the gay and thoughtless for my choice of religion, yet the inward comfort which I enjoy, doubly compensates me for all this. I do not wish for the approbation and
