Influence of q Knowiedge of God.

Among the means of piety and good
ness, none is more valuable than knowl-
edge of God; not merely a knowledge
of his existence, but of his nature, attri-
butes, dispensstivns, and providence. Do
we know God to have infinite poser? Ii
should teach US that we are entirely al
his disposal, that our strength is weak.
ness, and our, boldest efforts of nc account
in his sight His justice should encour-
age US to perseverance, and patient SUBJ
mission under the trials and pains of life,
assured that no good design will go unre-
warded. God kno1cs all things And shall
it be no restraint over our vices, that we
are watched byso pure an eye, whose Wis
ion no darkness can obscure, whose pen
etrating glance no swiftuess can elude
God is good, infinitely good. Who're is
our gratitude ? Where are the gener-
Gus emotions, which should rise up to
swell the notes of praise TO benefactor
SO unbounded in the riches of his benev-
olence and grace? God is mcrciful; not
to the wicked, the obstinate, and the re-
bellious; but to the humble, the pcni-
tent, and the virtuous. Who will delay
to become the object of this mercy, by
reforming his life and seeking the divine
favour
We should judge too harshly of human
nature, we're we 20 decide on the char
acters of nations. by those public acts,
which il is the task of an historian TO re-
cord. The best virtues of human nature
are not matter Of record; and often the
best of men die and leave no memorial
behind them.

DEAR BOUGHT EXPERIENCE.
" Mark that pretty Miller" said my
father, one evening, as we we're read

shine, and how it darts and hutters
about! 1t will soon fly into the candle,
burn its own wings off, and be destroy

trembling, futtering and expiring on the
table "Ah," said my grandfather,
many, who boast of reason, play at the
same game that has ruined this poor
insect;" and as grew older frequent
Iy found the remark verified.
One evening as was driving the
sheep TO pasture by starlight, | saw u

his feet with the utmost difficulty. The

REMARKABLE TRIAL.

The Albany Argus Of the 21st ult. contains
the following interesting report ofa recent
trial for forgery before the Court OF Oyer
and Terminer, for the city and county OF
Albany. This trial for the singularity Of
its incidents, has few parallels in the rec
ords Of criminal prosecution
Daniel w. Sackrider, of the town OF
Coeymans, in this county, was convicted
Of the forgery Of a promissory note, pur-
porting to have been made by Henry
Schoonmaker, deceased, formerly a
neighbor of the prisoner, to the prison.
er for the sum of $500, and bearing
date the second day of March, 1922.
Schoonmaher died in March last, and il
did not appear that Sackrider haaeVer
exhibited the note until after his death.
The trial was of great length and pre-
sented some extraordinary incidents.
Eight witnesses, who were Familiarity ac-
quainted with the hand writing of
Schoonmaker, testified, that in their o.
pinion the note was not signed by him.
Three witnesses, having a slight knowl-
edge Of his hand writing, were produc-
ed by the prisoner, whose opinions were
in favor Of the authenticity Of the note.
Several specimens Of Schoonmaker's
hand writing, and various instruments
signed by him we're also exhibited. The
prisoner produced in evidence an agree
ment, purporting TO have been made
and signed by Schoonmaker and himself
on the second day of March, 1929, the
date Of the note in question was stated
to have been executed and delivered 10
the prisoner, and in which the consid-
GRAFTON Of the note was also set forth.
The bodies Of the note and the agree
ment we're in the hand writing Of the
prisoner, who was a very expert writer.
and the signature of Henry Schoonma-
ker to the agreement correspondent
precisely with that tothe note. The

lecting to balance accounts justly between
the head and the heart. He who goes
altogether by his head, will be most of a
philosoPher-he who goes altogether by
bis heart, most Of fool; but he who
gives to each its proper influence will
be more Of man than either. There's
our neighbour Screw, he does every
thing by rule-makes good bargains, and
IS the incest calculator in the country
but he never gave poor man one cent,
or allowed himself TO indulge in one sim
gle luxury-he works by the head alone.
Jerry gives half he has, and some times
the whole to the first who asks him,
he lends, and looses, and gratifies every
whim-every passion-every desire,
and never reasons about the consequent
|ees-he works heart work. Neither,
balance the account right. You and I,
Oliver, are older than either of them,
we must go along between these two
extremes.

THE DoUM OR PALM OF UPPER E.
GYPT

VIII.
The following notice of this tree is from the
Journal OF Messrs. Fisk e. King in Egypt.
FEBRUARY Is, 1928.
"When walking on the shore we no.
ticed the Doum tree. II is the Palm of
Thebais or Upper Egypt, but it differs
from the common palm, in that it is nei-
Their so large or so high; the body Of
the tree is smoother, the wood seems
harder and the tree often has several
branches. The common Palm tree
grows high perpendicular, and without
branches. The trunk of the tree does
not increase from yeer TO year in size,
like other trees, but only rises higher.
You see, therefore, in grove ofPaIms,
the trees which are ten or twenty feet
high, just as large as those from fifty to
one hundred feet. THE trunk of the
tree is not solid, like other trees, but
its centre is filled with pith.' In fact
the tree, when cut down, seems more
like bundle ofstraws or splinters close
ly bound together, than like timber.
The date is the fruit of the Palm tree.
The fruit of the Doum is several times
larger than the date, and totally differ.
ent from it. Gitbon says, The dill
gent natives celebrated, either in prose
or verse, three hundred and sixty uses.
to which the trunk, the branches, the
leaves, the juice, and the fruit of the
Palm we're skilfully applied We have
not had occasion to make three hundred
and sixty uses of it but, besides eat
ing of its fruit, and using the wood for
fuel, we have slept under roofs male Of
its leaves and on bedsteads made of It's
branches. 1t has served us for baskets.
mats, brooms, ropes, cages for poultry,
and walking sticks. In crossing canals
it has been our bridge and we have ca
ten honey made (according TO the ac-
count of the natives) from its sap.-The
Palm is crowned at its top with large
tuft of spring leaves about four feet
long, which never fall off, but always
continue in the same Aourishing YER

The Durham Chronicle states the
complete success of an ingenious plan of
constructing boiIersfor melting fat, kitch-
en- stuff, &c. so as wholly to remove that
offensive efliuvia SO much complained of
in the neighborhood of tallow-chandlers'
melting houses. The tube or chimney
is constructed in srch way as to make
the foul vapour of the boiler pass through
the fire, where it is wholly consumed.
The fire, which is equally applied to the
boiler all round the exterior, is supplied
with atmospheric air from above, the
ashpit being completely closed. There
is also considerable saving of fuel and
of time in the process.
