a sight, the sense of hearing also acts upon the mind: by the distant roar of the angry sea, ascending from the caverns below, and the screaming of the Cornish chough, assailing you from above, and on every side, or faintly heard, in the distance, on the dying breath of the autumnal breeze. The entranced spectator has no election; but is engrossed with admiration of that Great Power, by the fiat of whose mere volition, nature's chaos was thus harmonized, and stamped with the glorifying impress of multiplicious beauty. READER! If you would think lowly of yourself, go whither you may cast your eye on spanless ocean, where great and lofty vessels plough the deep, and look but puny things; although they really are in bulk as huge as Leviathan, which God of all his works Created hugest that swim the ocean stream. The Far West was the scene of the pious John Wesley's ministerial labours. That celebrious and exalted character, who, by his holy life, and persevering toil, evangelized the Far West, resided in Sennon parish. He found the miners and other humble classes, in this region, with souls and intelligences, dark as their deepest mine, uncultivated as the rocky down; but, by sedulous diligence, and, unwearied by the long pursuit of that sacred calling which he pre-eminently adorned, he civilized their fierceness ;-he humanized their barbarity; he scattered among thousands of ready hearers, those seeds of divine truth, which sprang up, and flourished in the hearts of many ;-he left behind him a triumphant memorial of his peerless labours, in the unaffected piety of the existent generation. Men, women and children left their beds, at break of day, to congregate around him on the barren rocks; and listening with gladsome ears, they caught the joyous tidings of salvation. As manna, of olden times, descended from hea ven, for the bodily sustentation of the chosen people in the wilderness;-so, in those felicitating days of highly favored Cornubia, it pleased a bounteous providence, through the instrumentality of this godly man, to shed on her the dew of his choicest blessings, when her sons and daughters came in from her high-ways and hedges;-from her mines and her mountains, and had the gospel preached to them! "Heaven opened on their eyes, their ears! With sounds seraphic rang.” CHAPTER X. "But like a rock unmov'd, a rock that braves I Now proceeded about four miles southeast of Land's End, and arrived at St. Levan; where is an inn, called after the local wonder, the The Logan Rock Inn. This celebrated Logan Rock, which is calculated to weigh eighty tons, was forced from its equilibrium, on the 8th. of April, 1824, through the excessive vibration given to it by the united manual exertions of nine persons; but was restored to its former situation on the second of November following, by the skilful application of machinery, and the labour of upwards of fifty persons, under the sole direction of Lieutenant Goldsmith, of the royal navy. A Cornish woman, alluding to the reprehensible dislocation of this matter of Cornish boast and universal admiration, said to me, "Yes, sure, and was'nt it a wicked thing too, to shew such disrespect to the handy work, (as one might say,) of the Great Creator?" I have since ascertained that a great number of the Cornish people considered the mischievous prostration of this rock, not only as a daring outrage upon their feelings, but as an act of gross impiety. From the Logan Rock Inn, I walked about a furlong, before I reached the coast; then turned to my left, and keeping the sea on my right, proceeded about two furlongs in a southerly direction; when I found myself near a small bay, whose coast was one mass of dark rock, having promontories at the western and eastern extremities. The downs sloping to the sea, enabled me to approach and view the |
