ELEGANT EXTRACT.

From Sermon on +" Domestic Hathss
ness" by the Req. WILLIAM JAY.
***sOh, what SO refreshing, so sooth-
ing, SO satisfying as the placid joys of
HOME.
See the traveller. Does duty CALI
him for season to leave his beloved
family? The image of his earthly hap
piness continues wildly in his remem-
brance; it quickens him to diligence
1t cheers him under difficulties; ii makes
him hail the hour which sees his purpose
accomplished, and his face turned to-
wards home; it communes with him as
he Journeys; and he hears the promise
which causes him to hope. "Thou
shalt know also that thy tabernacle shall
be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy
habltation and not sin. oh the Joyful
reunion OF a divided family; the plea
sures OF renewed interview and CONVEX
satlon after days of absence.
Behold the man ofscience. He drops
the labor and painfulness of research,
closes his volume, smooths his wrnkled
brow, leaves his study, and unbending
himself, stoops TO the capacities, yields
to the wishes, and mingles with the di-
versions of his children.
He will not blush that has fathers heart.
To take in childish plays childish part,
But bends his sturdy back to any toy,
That youth takes pleasure in, to please his
boy"
Take the man of trade. What recon-
Giles him to the toll of business What
enables him to endure the fastidiousness
and impertinence of customers What
rewards him for SO many hours of te-
dious confinement By and by the sea-
son of intercourse will arrive; he will
be embosomed in the caresses of his
family; he will behold the desire of his
eyes and the children of his love, for
whom he resigns his case, and in their
welfare and smile, he will find his re.
compense.
Yonder comes the laborer.-He has
borne the burden and heat of the day
the descending sun has released him
from his toll, and he Is fastening nome
to enjoy his repose. Half way down the
lane, by the side of which stands his cot
cage, his children run to meet him one
he carries and one he leads. The COM
panion Of his humble life is ready to fur
nish him with his plain repast See his
toll worn countenance assumes an air Of
checrfulness; his hardships are forgot
ten; fatigue vanishes; he eats and is
satisfied; the evening fair, he walks
with uncovered head round his garden
enters again and retires to rest; and
the rest of the laboring man is sweet
whether he eat little or much" In
habitant of this lonely lowly dwelling
who can be Indifferent to thy comfort!
" Peace be to this house !"
"Let not ambition mock thy useful toll,
Thy homely joys and destiny obscure
Nor grandeur hear with a disdanful smiles
The short and simple annals of the poor.~

THE PARSONS WIG.

Some years ago, a New-England
clergyman, somewhat advanced in years,
thought proper to purchase new wig
for his own use. In doing this he con-
suited his own taste, and procured one
which he thought becoming his age and
station. On his appearing with it the
next sabbath at church, his parishioners
were surprized; and more attention was
paid to the wig, than to the words of him
who wore it. A general dissatisfaction
prevailed; all were displcased-some
on one account and some on another;
some thought it wanted more curls, and
others less-one thought it too large,
and others too small-some thought it
ought to be powdered, and others that
it ought not; and as 10 color, one prefer
red black, another grey, and another red.
Others again thought that it was not
placed properly on the preachers head /;
and one good old lady expressed wish
that he WOUNDS lace the back part in front,
as it would then be terror to evil do
ers, and keep the playful children in or
| der.
BY the time the evening service was
ended, the discomfort had become so
great, that committee was appointed to
wait on the parson, and demonstrate with
him on the subject. They assured
him that they felt a great interest in
his welfare, and that the complaint
against the wig was general through the
parish--that they paid him for preaching,
and therefore had an undoubtcd right to
regulate his appearance; and, finally,
that the cause of religion was IN danger,
unless he complied with their demand /;
which was 10 give ut the zvig II them, 20
be altered and shaped in such manner
as to give Sati3action TO all his hearers.
The parson was highly amused with
these representations and, knowing all
attempts at reasoning would be frultless,
determined to make his crazy congrcga-
ton sensible of their folly, by indulging
their whims, though it would be at his
own expense. He submitted The wig to
their disposal, and meeting was soon
called to regulate the head dress oftheir
poor preacher. Some brought their
curling irons, some their scissors, and
others a profusion of powder. Nor were
they long in commencing their opera
tions-but, as no two could agree as to
what should Se done, and each one in
sisted on the right Of being suited, they
fell to quarrelling among themselves,
and scene of uproar ensued-the wig
was banded about among them-the
scissors and tongs were applied-it was
clipped, frizzled, and snarled, and in a
few minutes became perfect scare
crow.
| The wig regulators now all agreed in
condemning their own folly, and disper-
sed with shame, declaring that, as the
walk and conversation of their preacher
were unexceptionable, they would no
more interfere in matters in which they
had no concern.
The above story conveys an useful
lesson to those disconnected and restless
people, who imagine they are qualified
to regulate the affairs of all their &C
quaintance, and disturb the peace of their
neighbors by whimsical complaints
about triAes.

FROM THE xEw-roaK COLUMBIAN,
GENERAL NINA.


Sir: The extraordinary tenor of an
article in one of your late papers copied
from London publication, under the
above head, and purporting to be deri-
we'd from all eyewitness, and person
of the highest credit and respectability,"
struck me with astonishment; it beings
with very few exceptions, such as the
name of " Soto la Marina" the fate Of
the garrison of that place, and the ulti-
mate remarks on the state of the coun-
try, from one end to the other string Of
falsehood and nonsense.
We beg leave to inform you that we
were two fthe lamented Mina's officers
and of course entered Mexico with him 3
were present at all his victories, and one
of us, on the staff, was actually with him
when taken. Since that period we have
been travelling over the kingdom, united
with various corps of the patriots, and
have been in ten of its provinces; were
in the city of Mexico the 10th July last,
and only left Vera Cruz the Goth August,
from whence we were liberated by the
exertions of Capt. G. Coggershall, of the
sch'r. Retrieve, in which vessel we ar
rived at. Staten Island the I'd Oct. being
two out Of FIVE who escaped, excepting
eight who yet remain in Mexico, out 20
the whole expedition. A historv'
unfortunate business will soon
lished.

LEATHER GLOVES,
Or, two eyes see more than three.

A very honest fellow, named John
Bland, by trade leather glove maker,
preferring ship-board to the shop-board,
took voyage to China; and being what
is called a very useful man, was fire.
quently excused the ordinary duties of
the ship, and permitted to work for him
self, as well as have a little trade for bar
ter. When the vessel arrived at Canton,
a merchant came on board, as is the
custom, to traffic with the men for their
private ventures. With this man, John
exchanged his concern for commodities
of the country, and found himselfin the
end egregiously cheated. ouS knight

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

To be useful in our day, is duty and
ahlessiaS; but to gain this point we must
fill up the circle of our life not only in
industrious performance of incumbent
duty, for the education and support of our
families, but also take prospectivev view
Of what may be useful to our successors
on this pleasant Prolific ball qfearth.
When boy, was presented with 4
line rare-ripe peach, larger and more lus-
cious than had ever before tasted: be-
ing then at the house of friend, plant
ed the stone in corner of his garden
visiting him two years afterwards, l was
apreeably surprised to find that the tree
had attained a fine growth, and in my af-
ter visits in many successive years, found
1t in full bearing, and have no doubt that
it has gladdened the family and neighbour
hood with more than 200 bushels of
peaches, like the original in size and IA
vor. All will allow that here was an am
pie reward for the trihing exertion of
planting peach stone.
Butthe peach is not the only thing Which
may be propagated to advantage. How
small matter is it, for instance, to cut a
slip from the grahe zine, and plant it by
the side OF piazza, or at the corner of
the house! how soon will its leaves afford
pleasant and healthful shade, and its
branches be loaded with delicious clus-
ters. The Culrant, GoUseberry, Ounce,
Raspberry, the Rose, SNOWFALL, Lilack
and a multitude Of useful and ornamental
shrubs, may be propa gated by Sits. In
this connexion | will mention the Hot
zine, plant, which, whether profit or
pleasure be consulted, should be intro
duced into every garden and back yard
in town and country-it is raised from a
small hlece V'the root, and when once
it has taken to growing may be considered
one of the perenniais: at the same time
that an excellent and palatable beverage
is obtained from it in the hot beer We
must likewise look to it as one of the
means OF that great moral reformation
which our country must certainly expe-
rience, or suffer ruin.
Hop beer is reforming liquor; it has
an astringence, particularly of flavor in
which man may comfortably rest, whose
palate has been accustomed to rum. In
my cwn farming business I give no ar
dent spirits, but am particular in the qua
lily of beer; and l can say without hes
itation that, although ordinarily employ
men who have been accustomed to spir-
its, and sometimes to excess, yet have
found no one who did not profess to be
pleased with my substitute, and who did
not satisfy me that he derived as much
strength and animation from it as he
would from ardent spirits.
Brother farmers, halt not between two
opinions--you know Baal is not God,
therefore do not worship him--demolish
his altars--break the rum bottle-en-
courage sober, orderly, cheerful style
of conduct among your laborers and in
yourfamiies, and let your farms be noted
for good crohs and good manners.
