Look al f'ofher side Jim.

LOOK at t0tltfT SIDE jim.
When boy, as | was one day passing
through the market with my brother Joe,
spied beautiful orange lying on the top
Of basket of the same kind of fruit. /
Immediately inquired the price, and was
proceeding to buy it, when my brother
exclaimed, with shrewdness which shall
never forget, "look at t'other side Jim. .
| looked, and TO my establishment, it was
was entirely rotten.
In passing through life, / have been
frequently benefited by this little admo-
milton.
When l hear the tongue of SANDER
dwelling its venom against some fault or
foible of neighbour; / think, look OH
t'other side JIM" Be moderate have
charity. Perhaps the fault or foible, which
you talk SO much and SO loud Of, is almost
the only one in your neighbours character,
and perhaps you have as great or greater
ones of your own.
1t may be, that this is your neighbours
weak side, and except this, be is good
citizen, a kind neighbour, an affectionate
father and husband, and useful member
of society. Others may listen to the story
of calumny, but remember, they will fear
and despise the calumniator. Learn TO
overlook fault in your neighbour; for
perhaps you may sometime wish them to
pardon fault in you.--West- Jersey Gas.

Den are but Clstd,en Of a larger grosssh.
Twas eight O'Clock. and near the FIRE
My rudy little boy was seated,
And with the titles of sire
My ears expected to be greeted
But vain the thought by sleep Oppressed,
No father there the child descry'd;
His head reelin'd upon his breast,
Or nodding roll'd from side to side.
Sc Let this young rogue be sent to bed
More / had not time to say,
When the poor urchin rsis'd his head
To beg that he might longer stay.
Refus'd; towards rest his steps had bent
With fearful eye and aching heart;
But elaim'd his plsythings ere he went,
And took up stairs his horse and cart.
For new delay, though oft deny'd,
He pleaded wildly crav'd the boon -
Tho past his usual hour, he cried
AT being sent away so soon.
If stern to him, his grief shar'd;
(Unmov'd who hears bis offspring weep y
Of soothing him half despair'd
When all his cares are lost in sleep.
eAlas poor infant p exclaim'd,
" Thy father bushes now to scan,
In all which he so lately blam'd,
The foliies and the fears of man.
The vain regret, the anguish brief,
Which thou hast known, sent up to bed,
Pourtrays of man the idle grief,
When doom'd to slumber with the dead.n
And more / thought-when up the stairs
With " longing lingering looks" he crept,
To mark of man, the childish cares,
His playthings carefully he kept.
Thus mortals on Efe's later stage,
When nature claims their forfeit breath,
Still grasp at wealth, in pain and age,
And cling to golden toys in death.
It's morn and see my smiling boy
Awakes to hail returning light;
10 fearless laughter boundless joy!
Forgot the tears of yesternight
Thus shall not man forget his woe!
Survive ofage, and death the gloom
Smile at the cares he knew below!
And renovated burst the tomb!
o, my Creator! when thy will
Shall stretch this frame on earth's cold bed
Let that blest hope sustain him still,
Till thought, sense, mem'ry--all are fed.
And grateful for what thou may st give,
No tear shall dim my fading eye,
That twas thy pleasure should live
That it's thy mandate bids me die.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Origin Of Sunday Schools and Bible
Societies.


Mr.. Robert Raikes, Printer of Glou-
cester, in England, instituted the first
Sunday School in the year 1882. Being
in the outskirts of that city, he was
greatly disturbed by troop of wretched
noisy boys. Full of compassion, he be-
gan to think what could be done to remedy
the evil. And on the good woman with
whom he was conyersing saying, " o,
Sir, if you were here on a Sunday you
would pity them, indeed, for they are
much more numerous and hundred times
worse-it is very hell upon earth-'ve
cannot read our Bibles in peace for them ;
it occurred to him that if these children
could be put to School on Sunday, this
disorder might be prevented, and the
children taught better. The thought was
Immediately carried into effect by en-
ploying a poor woman in the neighbour
hood to teach them, and this spark kind
led flame which will never be extin.
guished, and has already proved signal
blessing to thousands and tens of thou
sands. And Bible Societies sprung from
the same seed. When the Sunday Schools
spread into Wales, sufficient number Of
Welsh Bibles could not be got for the use
of the children. A personal application
was made by Mr.. Charles to some friends
10 London to aid him in a subscription
to defray the expense of printing an edi-
ton of Welsh Bibles. In the course of
conversation, at committee meeting of
Religious Tract Society, the Rev. Jo-
seph Hughs suggested that little more
exertion than was requisite for supplying
Wales with the Scriptures, might found
an Institution which should go on in
creasing in funds and extending its opera
tions, till not only the British dominions,
but the whole world should be supplied
with the Word of God. This idea was
carried into effect. Such is the origin OF
a Society which is the glory Of our age.

bly, to their numerical progression, which

inerpedisney Of the proceeding was dWelt
upon with just cause, and considerable
force.AFor assuredly it is not enough to
entitle measure to adoption to say that
there IS no positive reason fafbiddins it;
there ought also be we'll grounded rea-
sons for adopting it.-lndeed. should
conceive that there being no reasons for
sIesislasive act, is sufficient ground to
reject it. Much was said also OF want
Of power in congress to legislate on the
subject: and here venture to add that
if there be a subject, more than any other
out OF the reach Of Congress, or even OF
those who made the constitution, it must
be, in its very nature, this subject. Mr..
Anderson, Mr.. Pindall and Mr.. Lo~ndes
were the gentlemen who opposed the bill

and Mr.. Clay supported it.

A petition lately presented to the
house on the part Of the Irish Emigrant
Associations Of New-York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Pittsburg, praying that a
portion Of land in the Illineis territory
should be granted to them on an extend
ed credit, for the purpose 81 settling upon
it emigrants from ireland, was some days
ago referred to the committee on pub
lie lands. Yesterday MIR Robertson, OF
Louisiana, brought up re. art from that
committee, concluding with resolution
that the prayer Of that petition ought
NOT to be granted" Why there shoald
exist on any side a desire to raise ia
ton, however small, in the heart of this
great nation, to feel end act, and foster
pcculiarities and prejudices, and live in
a state Of segregation from their fellow
citizens, it were perhaps difficult to ina

day resolved that the proceedings Of a
certain court martial ordered by commo-
dore Chauncey, on captain John Creigh-

the instance Of midshipman, should be
reported to the house by the secretary o.
the navy, together with the memorial Of
the midshipmen and other officers in that
squadron to the naval department, occa-
stoned BY that transaction; and that a.

tary Of the navy, transmitting copies Of
the proceedings Of the court martial on
the trials Of captain Perry and captain
Heath, should be referred to the commit

the business was not gone through at the

Mr.. EDITOR,
In this season Of putting l have re-
marked that no one has thought proper

Doe. the candor OF these scribbers revolt
at the idea Of bestowing unmerited praise
--or do they believe (Which l think most
likely that the various entertainments
there offered are Of themselves so intrih-
sicai!y deserving, as to require no adven-
titious aids to render them acceptable
As these communications, however, have
some weight, Especially if the authors Of
them are not detected in occasional ey-
oggerations-an iUnputstion which I shall
scrupulously avoid}-allos me to request
the insertion Of this in your columns the
object Of which is to draw the attention
IF our citizens to the advertisement of
the company fci' this evening. Those
who have been in The habit of attending
these exhibitions will not fail to appreci-
ate the value Of the bill Of fare now Of

portunity Of witnessing brilliant novelty
will not probably occur during the stay Of
the company in Alexandra. Added to
this, the receipts are tor the benefit of
Mr.. Parker, whose deserts land l say it
boldly are as worthy of remuneration as
those Of any individual in the company.
