THE PROUD MAN

Is fool in fermentation, that swells
and bpils over like porridge pot. HI
sets out his feathers like an,owl, to swell
and seem bigger than he is. He is
troubled with tumor and inHamma-
ton of self conceit that renders every
par, of him stiff and uneasy. He gives
place to no man but himself, and that
with very great distance to all Others,
whom he esteems not worthy to az.
preach him. He believes whatever he
has receives value in being his.. He
strives to look bigger than himself as
well as others, and is no better thar, his
parasite and hatterer. A little food ill
make a shallow torren. swell above It's
banks, and rage, and foam, and Weld a
roaring noise, while deep, silent stream
glides quietly on. So vain glorious,
insolent, proud man, swells with little
frail prosperity, grows big and loud, and
overflows his bounds, and when he sinks,
leaves mud and dirt behind him. He
fancies himself Colossus, and SO he is,
for his head holds no proportion to his
body, and his foundation is less than his
upper stories.

REVIVAL OF RELIGION.

Our distant readers will be gratifed to
learn that a powerful work of divin
grace is now prevailing in the centra!
parts of, Connecticut and is rapidly ex-
lending in all directions. 1t commenc-
I'd about the middle of the last summer,
IN New-Haven, where it still continues
with undated Iorce, and has since passed
INTO congregations in Woodbridge, Der
by, North Milford, Milford, Stratford.
North haven, Branford, North Braniord
Meriden, Guilford, East Guilford, part
of Saybrook, North Kilingworth, the CT
,y of Hartford, East Hartford, Windsor,
West Hartford, Wethersfeld, Newing-
ton, part of Berlin, Pennington, Bristol,
Plymouth, Warren, New Preston, Co
shen, New-Milord, South Britain, and
we believe in number OF other places,
which we are not able to specify. From
present indications it would seem that
this is but the commencement Of more
extensive revival Of religion, than an!
which has been experienced in the
most favored period of the Church in
this State. in some of the large townS
hundreds have been under conviction Of
sin at the same time; in others of a
smaller size, scarcely family is left
without some one who is rejoicing in
hope, or pierced with sense of sin !;
schools have in some instances been
powerfully impressed, even where the
instructors were not pious; the pursuit
Of worldly business has in some places
been partially suspended, by the anxiety
to secure interests of higher moment !;
and We believe in no place where the
work OF grace exists, has it yet begun
to decline, while we almost daily hear Of
its commencement in different parts of
the State. ca. STectatov.

flaXpwould be fully as good as lax tor
all the heavy numbers of canvass this,
it isbelieved, would be highly profitable
to The agriculturists.
Tie following fact is taken from the annual re-
port of the Society for the Prevention of
IPauperism in the city of New-York.
I" MIR. Allaire is the proprietor of a
Urge foundery at Corlaer's Hook. Dur
| jig the last season he employed upwards
| IF 60 workmen, more than 80 Of whom
Were men of families. In the course of
the summer be was informed that many
of them were in debt; and on inyesti-
eating their concerns, with surprise he
ascertained the fact, that every one a Ia
was in the habit OF using ardent spirits,
was involved to an extent beyond his
ability TO pay; and, with a satisfaction
equal to his former surprise, he learned
the additional fact, that those who made
no use OF spirits, were in easy circum-
stances, and their children we'll provided
for at school. Nor did difference OF
wages, from seventy-five cents TO ten
shillings per day, make any perceptlble
change in the situation of the former
class of workmen. With this picture
before him, Mr. A llaire was at once in
duced to prohibit the use OF ardent spirits
altogether, in bis shops, during working
hours. But one person left his employ
in consequence of this restriction; and
this man had borrowed of Mr.. Allaire,
while in his service, upwards Of $500 to
pay grocery bills. In conclusion of this
letter, Mr.. Allaire observes: Il have
great reason to be pleased with the hap
py effects ofithis regulation. ! find my
interest better served; and that those
who, from excessive drinking, had be
come of little worth to me, and in many
instances of less to their families, have
now become able and steady; earn more
money, and their families as well as
themselves, have expressed in a Ian
suage not to be misunderstood, the ma
ny comforts and the domestic happiness
y. hich they enjoy in consequence This
single experiment speaks volumes; and
The Managers take this occasion to con-
5rAtulale the community, ON the bold
and successful stand taken by this gen
tleman, to abolish altogether the use Of
ardent spirits from large manufactures.
II is by prompt measures, persevered IN,
mat evil habits are corrected, and not BY
.ampering and partial restrlcpons."

SIR-In reply to that part OF your 'et-
ter the 9th inst. requesting intorms-
,tion as TO the articles which the western
country could probably furnish IN aid OF
our naval service, the commissioners OF
the navy will nbserve--that it has ever
been their wish to extend as far as they
consistently could the benefits resulting
from naval expenditures, and 10 give the
western. country as large share OF these
benefits, as could reasonably be expect
ed. Their advertisements Tor articles
that could be furnished from your quar-
ter have been directed to be published
in your papers, and every offer made.
that could consistently be accepted, has
E been. We have now an extensive con-
tract in the western country tor pork,
eonal to more than one half OF the whole
quantity required for the navy tor one
year-we would also have gladly con-
,tracted for an equal quantity OF beef;
! but the offers were all so much higher
than those from the Atlantic states, that
they could not with propriety be accept
ed.
There are other articles required for
the use of the navy. that we should be
happy to contract for in the western
country. Your soil and climate are be-
lieved to be admirably adapted to the
culture of hemp and flax-lead, copper,
and iron ore are also found in the western
countrv-in truth, you abound in naval
resources, and it has ever been the wish
of the commissioners of the navy, to
draw YOU into competition with other
parts Of the union, in furnishing these
necessary articles Of national defence.
The navy requires annually a vast
quantity Of cordage-sail, and other
cloth-andth the hemp of the western coun-
try if water rotted is equal to any grown
in any countryside flax is excellent
These are the materials of which COR
dage and sail cloth are made. Prepare
them properly for market, and we should
think YOU would always find ready sale
for them at fair prices: SO far as the
commissioners have it in their power to
afford encouragement they would cheer
G,lly do 50. They would be happy to
;n,rodoea, into all their contracts for
cordage. a St.puiatioii IOq""
made Of American hemp, it the hemp
was brought to market in state IT 's 70 lus'l-
f. such a stipulation; and II we nao a
sufficient number Of factories OF canvass
that could furnish the article as some
now do, on moderate TERMS we shou'o
most cheerniiy discontinue altogether
the use of foreign canvass. Inc annual
exnend;ture for canvass at this tune Is
~ less than / 50 900 dollars.
Under the impression that intormation
nav he desired with respect to the pro-
cess Of water rqtting hemp and the
',nan,,factnre Of sail cloths we send the
enclosed observations upon these SUD-
iects; and we freely tender you every
information and assistance in our power
10 aid in the development OF the aonn-
dsnt naval resources ofthe western coun-
try. ...r no ae

The New-York Commercial Adver-
user publishes letter from the Hon. A.
3. Woodward, to DR.. Mitchill, in which
he maintains the existence of tides ON
the Western Lakes, and gives the fol-
lowing statments as the result OF a course
Of observations, made in June last, by
Benjamin F. Stiokney, Esq. who resides
near the mouth of Miami Of Lake Erie
viz.
"That there is regular tide in Lake
Erie; that it flows and Gibbs twice in
twenty fve hours, at intervals of about
six hours and eleven minutes; and that
it is greatest at the new and full MOONS
and least at the quarters. The mimi
mum of rise, within the period during
which the observations were made, was
as much as eight inches. The maxi
mum .ofrise, within the same period, was
as much as forty inches. The .observa-
ions were made against .store-house,
nuiltin the water.--The tides are affected
by the winds; and Mr.. Stickney thinks
he has reason to believe that in further
observations the maximum of rise will
prove to be above that which occurred
in the period during which the observa-
tons were made. His impression is
firm and impregnable that these tides
are in all respects, similar to those OF
the ocean. s.
