last election 1t appears, however, that he
did not accept the appointment; and bis
reason for declining it, the Reporter in-

A THOUGHT.

0 could we step into the grave
And lift the cofiip lid,
And look upon the greedy worms
That eat away The dead!
1t well might change the reddest cheek
fGto lily white:
An freeze the warmest blood to look
Upon SO sad sight.
YET still il were sadder sight,s
Tin that lump Of clay,
There was sense to feel the worms
So busy with their Frey.
o pity then the living heart,
The lump OF living clay,
On which the canker worms Of care
Forever, ever Prey!

CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.

The last accounts from Algiers state that
the plague has 50 horribly depopulated the
place, that the new dey has commanded
that all unmarried men above 20 years OF
age shall be conducted to the public place,
and amply gratilied with The bastinado, TO
give them desire for 1rcdlock! Our rea-
ders will recoiect that we mentioned this
whimsical alternative on a former occasion.

IRON SLOOp.

An Iron Sloop was lately launched from
the works OF Mr.. Joseph Shaw, at Huns,et,
which few days ago brought up TO Leeds
80 tons of Goals from Thorp- Hall colIiery.
Ti.is vessel, which measures Sc feet in
length, by feet Inches in breadth, draws
only 8 feet inches of water. and would,
il enlarged to the same size, carry fifteen
tons more than a common sloop built OF
wood. - lb'd.
The times are much mended since all IN
terest on money was prohibited by the MI.
nisters of the church as well as the laws OF
the land. This is proven by the following
extract from the minutes of the Dover bap-
tist association held at Matthews meeting
house, in the month of October last:
CRiclmond Compiler.
"QuERY.-Is il proper for professor
of the christian religion 10 receive for mo-
ney loaned, more than legal interest II
not, how ought such member 10 be dealt
with
After considerable debate On the sub.
ject, the following resolution was agreed TO
wv hereas great evils have resulted to the
community at large from the practice OF Ia
king FOR money more than the legal interest
land whereas muchreproach has been cast
on the baptist church Of Christ, on account
of some of the members having been char
ged with participating in the practice, we
are, therefore, of opinion that il is impro-
per; and as the law has fixed the value Of
money, il ought to be religiously respected;
and we would recommend TO the churches
great prudence in discipline, as well on
this, as on all other matters"
