"In the sweat Of thy face thou shalt

with the punishment Of the woman L

she can bear. Man is annoyed by sese-
raj things besides thorns and thistles, aud
it requires much of vigilence, indus
try, and sweat of his face, to cause the
earth to bring forth fr0it. / believe,
however, corrupted as we are, there
could be nothing better for US. Should
the earth produce spontaneously, and
pour upon us rich provision without
our toll and labor, what would be the
state of society? Idleness is a nursery
from which many crimes, shoot, and we
find the soil congenial for them - we Of

We should have little of the staff OF
life, few delicious fruits, roots and yege-
tables, without the plastic hand Of man,
and every farmer ought to know how To
apply such an hand. Agriculture and
commerce are said to be sisters. | love
them both; but as am a la'ldamdn, my
affection is stronger for the former-stlll

DIED.,

At Beaver, Pennsylvania, on the ~
ult. Mrs. BRYAN, consort of John Bryil
ofthat county. The cause of her deal
was eating root which she mistoOk 10
sweet Annise, or as some term it. s"s1
myrrh, but it proved to be the Cicut' 4
deadly hemlock!
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan on the Sabbath d
9th ult. went out to read in shao|
some short distance from the house. 'D1
whilst there, discovered the herb Cicun
which they mistook for that of Anniisr
myrrh; Mrs Bryan requested her hu'oaf'
to pull it as she wished some of it to chez,
which ne did. They both ate of it, sa:
after some minutes Mrs Bryan complains
Of a dizziness in her head, and said SO
wished she had not eaten of the root y
she felt very unwell Mr. Bryan at tbs
same time began to feel the effects Of IT.
and Immediately Mrs Bryan fell into cor
WILSON'S and shortly after expired! AI
Bryan, although sick with the poison ana
alarmed beyond conception reached ths
house, and sent his family to the sP0'
where his wife lay he at the same time w''
seized with violent spasms and vomitn:
medical aid was called, and it is hoPedh
will recover.
The above should be solemn warnin;
to those who are in the habit of eating q
chewing unknown herbs or roots, which
to many Of late have proved so fatal.

When so much disingenuous pains are
daily taken to impose erroneous information
on the public. concerning the affairs Of the
people OF the same continent which we in.
habit, and in whose freedom these states
have deeper and most durable interest as
II concerns both our freedom and our com.
mercial prosperity, we trust that the efforts
which We make TO expose the deceptious re-
presentations OF those struggling people, will
be considered as an act of public duty and
propriety. II appears as If the adherents of
royalty had taken up the sentiments of the
holy alliance, and calculate upon The credu-
lily uf mankind, believing that men may be
as easily ouped as Aattered; expect to carry
BY deceit what they could not accomplish
by reason OF force. Many of the editors OF
papers are liable to be imposed on, who do
nol bestow due attention Oh the subjects
presented to them by persons interested in
deception. The Mercantile Advertiser Of
New York, We are persuaded, has been i'm
posed on 10 this way by whoever furnished
the article that follows; for we have the Ha.

WALKING ON WATER.

WALKING ON WATER.
Mr. Kent, from Glasgow, exhibited, on
Friday his machine for walking upon water
IN one Of The new wet docks at Leith. The
novelty Of the circumstance drew together
a considerable crowd to witness the uncom.
mon scene. The apparatus consisted Of a
triangle OF about 10 feet, formed of rods OF
iron. to each angle Of which was affixed a
case of block tin, filled with air, and com
plete!y water tight. These little boats OF
cases seemed to be about two and an bal
feet long, by about one and an half bruat :,
and several TO buoy up the machine and its
super incumbent weight These cases, we
understand. are filled with little hollow halls
attached by chain, and capable Of Aoa,ins
the machine. should any accident happen to
the outer case. From the centre of the little
boats rose other RODS, bent upwards, so as TO
meet at convenient height; and forming at
this junction small seat or saddle, like that
Of the common ,velocipede. Like that ma.
chine, likewise, it has cushion for the
breast, and ropes or reins to guide the case
at the apex of the triangle; and upon the
whole the motion is produced in nearly the
same manner. When in the seat, Mr.. Kenrs
feet decended to within few inches of the
water; to his shoes were huckled the paddles
made of block tin likewise. and having a
joint yielding in one direction, 50 as not to
give counte rmotion TO the machine when
moving the leg forward Cor new stroke
his heels rested in stirrups attached to the
saddle, and the motion was performed by
the alternate action Of the feet. Mr.. Kent
started about half past two o'clock, and after
various evOlutlons, crossing and re-crossIng
the dock several times, and firing fowling
piece. which, with fishing rod, were buck
led to the rod in front OF the saddle, be prov
ed, TO the satisfaction of the numerous spec
tators, the complete safety of his machine,
and the practicabllity OF using it even for a
considerable distance.
