gerous condition In which any community can possibly be placed ; so
a true cordiality et' sentiment and action, the laying aside all minor
causes of difference, and agreeing to strengthen the common canoe,
is the readiest way to cheek all tendency to inoneecticn end timiolt,
and to sow the seeds of furore prosperity arid, enjoyment. It was the
declaration of our great Exemplar, that every kingdom ce house

However then daigoina men may endeavour to warp the minds
of the irresolute and usslcilfral, there are reciproeal dirties of childreft

truth of what has been said. In matters that are utrimportalit, the

parent. Or, to recur again to the best pattern for our imitation, ws
meat endeavour to fill up the station that is allotted to us, so as most
to promote the glory of God and the welfare of mankind. Of our
blessed Saviour it is exprealy recorded, tl.at he went down to Ns-
itretia after his first public eppearance at Jertsalentin the Temple. s.
and was subject unto his parents; the happy consenuence of this
eminent instance co filial duty and affection was, that, its he ad.
winced in stature, he increased in wisdom and in favour with God
and man. The same simplicity and godly sincerity, as far as it is
possible for us to attain them, will certainly lead to similar resorts;
while a contemptuous neglect of our duty will necessarily incur the
threatened punishment. In the animating and suitable language of
the great Apostle of the Gentiles, " Let us hold fast the profession of
" our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised ; and
o let us consider oat another to provoke to love wed works: trot
" fora:king the assmibling of ourselves together, as the mapner

" ye see the day approaching."

An experiment is making on the Seine, at Paris,
under the inspection of the Institute, of a new-con-
structed boat, with oars, which is described as possess..
ing all the advantages of the steam-boat without any
of its inconveniences and dangers. One man, placed in
this car-boat, is sufficient to ute it onwards with full
rapidity, by a handle, which resembles the rounce of a
printing-press, and Much gives motion to the wheels.
