MuTARILITY OF MAN

The strongest characteristic Of man
is his mutablity-it is marked in every
action of his life, whether public or do
mestic-it Affects him in every pursuit,
whether of business or of pleasure ali
that he does has the love of change in
scribed on it; it is the only epitaph that
all his buried pursuits, and all their buri-
ed pursuers may bear, from him who
exchanged Paradise for desert world
to the babe Of yesterday who weeps for
toy, and the moment he has obtained,
resigns it for another. In pleasure the
taste of variety is but too natural, fer
the very effect of pleasure is to satiate.
and nothing but novelty can stimulate
the palled appetite, whose artificial or
gans, wearied with indulgence, demands
excitement; but our rage for variety
extends to oher objects-to every OBJ
ject-to all that occupies-to ali that
interests. The beggar feels it when he
wanders from howell to howell, as much
as the conq1eror when he traverses
from region 10 region yet both find on
ly WEAKNESS IN the change, for both find
only a repetition of circumstances with
out renewal of excitement from them.
Singular contrast between internal rest

the principles of religion, and try its in,

From the Providence American.

There are still nobler ways of exer-
cising courage than even in the field of
battie.-There are more exalted means
OF showing spirit, than by sending a
challenge. To sustain fit of sickness
may exhibit as true heroism, as to lead
an army. To bear affection well, calls
Tor as high exertion of soul, as to storm
a town; and TO meet death with Chris
'lan resolution, is an act of courage. in
which many a woman has triumphed.
and many philosopher, and even some
generals have failed.
A religion which consists in opinions
only, will not advance us in our progress
to heaven it is apt to initiate the mind
with the pride of disputation; and VIC
tory IS SO commonly the object of de-
BATE that eternity is out of sight.
Love is the fountain and principle
OF all practical virtue. But love itself
requires some regulation to direct its
exertlons some law to guide its mo-
uons; some rule to prevent its aberra-
uons; some guard to hinder that which
IS vigorous from becoming eccentric.
with such regulation, such a law, such
a guard, the divine ethics of the Gospel
have furnished US.
Religion is not an unproductive theory,
nor charity an unnecessary, an inciden.
tal consequence, nor contingent left to
our choice.-lf we believe in the prin.
ciPles, we must adopt the conclusions.

New MethOdo Glazing Eanhen Ware.
The large gold medal of the Society
for the encouragement of Arts, Manu-
features and Commerce, has been voted
to J. Neigh, Esq. of Shelton, Stafford
shire, for the discovery of a glaze for
vessels of common red earthen ware.
This glaze is fusible, cheap, and per-
tectly wholesome, and liable to none of
the objections to which the common
lead, or litharge glaze is.
The ware, after being well dried, is
immersed in mixture Of mari and wa
ter, by which the superficial pores Of
the clay are filed. Being carefully
wiped, the ware is ready for the glaze,
which is thus composed.
Take one part Cornish granite, con-
sisting chiefly of felspar,
One part glass,
One part black manganese.
The whole we'll ground together and
Giitused in water to the consistence of
cream, the ware is to be dipped in this
mixture, and then baked in the usual
way.
If an opake white glaze is required,
the manganese is omitted.
