with small sum given her in charity,
she was enabled TO take a passage for
herself, her husband and family.
Mr.. Sellers, in Philadelphia, had re-
ceived letter from his suffering daugh-
ter one morning, in which she spoke of
her expected embarkation the next day,
and which gave also concise but heart
rending picture of her situation. Nov
ed once more with affection, he walked
down to inquire whether the vessel had
come in. A schooner from New Or
leans was sweeping up the river, and
when she anchored, Mr.. Sellers went
on walked into mean looking
cabin, and beheld his disobedient child,
stretched out and gasping with overflow

her departed husband, while her chill

not for US to narrow the promises OF
God, which belong TO sincere religion,
from whatever cause it originates. But
of these principles, the purest, the sur
est, is the love of God, forasmuch as the
religion which proceeds from it is sin
cere, constant, and universal. The love
Of God is an abiding principle. 1t will
not, ike some others, (and these also
good and laudable principles-of action
as far IS they CO. produce a partial re-
ligion. 1t is co-eXtensive with all our
obligations. Practical Christianity may
be comprised in three words-devotion,
self-goernment and benevolence. The
love ofGod in the heart, is the fountain
from which these three streams of vir-
tue wi!lnot fail to issue. The love of
God alsois guard against error in con-
duct, BECAUSE it is a guard against those
evil Influences which mislead the UNDER
standing in moral questions. Ia some
measure, it supplies the place of every
rule. He who has it truly within him,
has little to learn. Look steadfastly to
the will of God, which he who loves
God, necessarily does; practise what
you believe to be well pleasing to him,
leave off what you believe displeas-
ing to him; cherish, confirm, strength
en- the principle itself, which sustains
this course of external conduct, and you
will not want many lessons, you need
not listen TO any other monitor.

PRESERVATION OF FooD.-This is a
subject of the utmost consequence to
the domestic economist as well as TO the
mariner. 1t has long been ascertained
that both animal and vegetable substan-
ces may be preserved for long time
by being immersed in brisk vinegar,
syrup, or spirits that goose pie, or a
roasted surloin of beef, enveloped in
suet, may be sent sweet and good to the
antipodes, and that strawberries and
green peas may be preserved for up
wards of year by being enclosed in
we'll stopped bottles, exhausted of air
by standing for some time in vessel of
boiling water. Modern chemistry has
discovered that the first method may be
effected more economically by using that
variety of acetous acid, called pyroligu-
eous, now commonly sold under the
name of white vinegar, which is SO
powerful an antiseptic as not only to
prevent the commencement of putridity,
but to arrest its progress when begun.
A piece of meat so far advanced as TO
be offensive to the smell, may be speed
lily recovered by washing it with this
acid, and as it appears not to harden the
muscular fibre like common vinegar,
the lovers of tender meat and game may
now enjoy it without having their olfac-
tory nerves offended with its odour.

JULIA SELLERS.

-... JULIA SELLEllS.
{" All seldom do our summer dreams give note
"Of the approaching winter"
THERE is but one true medium in all
things, and in our frequent wanderings
from the path of wisdom, we are found
now deviating on one side, and now on
the other. In Friendship we sometimes
err from cold and selfish spirit which
embitters our attempts at kindness; and
sometimes injure ourselves by an inn
proper degree of pIiancy. In ambition
we are frequently found tempting too
far, soaring with too wild and headlong
and precipitous flight; and again often
sluggishly reclining at the base Of her
proud pedestal, unmoved by the inAu-
ence of her enticementS ;-and in love
we sometimes sacrifice too much to OBJ
tain the object of our wishes, and not
unfrequently forfeit our peace of mind
and happiness, by sacrificing our attach
ments unnecessarily.

IMPROVEMENT IN BEDS.

An Englishman has made an improve.
ment in this necessary article, which is
peculiarly novel and highly economical.
He proposes to render the bed imperyi-
Gus to air, then TO fill it, by means of an
air pump, or condensing syringe, with
common atmospheric air, instead of down
or feathers. The air is introduced
through an aperture or tube into the
case, and prevented from returning BY
means of an air tight stop cock or valve.
The case may be made impervious to
air by various methods, but that recon-
mended by the patentee is compost
ton of India rubber, spirits of turpentine
and linseed oil, which when dry is ex-
ceedingly pliable, and SO elastic, that if
the cloth be folded in sharp corners, il
will not crack or peel of. The advan-
tages of this method of constructing beds
and pillows, are their superior degree Of
elasticity, afording the most refreshing
and easy repose in the warmest climate
they may, when required, be changed
from the greatest degree of softness 10
the hardness of mattrass, by moving the
handle OF the air-pump, which is placed
commodiously within the reach, or may
be rendered soft to any required degree,
by the exhausting pump, also within
reach. They may be made fresh and
cool, by changing the air, BY the alter
nate use Of the air pumps.-This may
be effected in few minutes, without re-
moving the person who occupies the
bed. Hence a great advantage to inva-
lids. For medical purposes they may
be filled with air at any required tenn
perature, or with water, steam, or 9TH
er fluids. The author enumerates va
riety of other advantages, to be derived

ON SETTING CUTTING INSTRUMENTS.

The thanks of the Society for the En-
couragement, of Arts, Manufactures and
Commerce, were voted to George Pc
verley, Esq. of Queen-Square, London,
for communication on the use of soap
instead of oil, in setting cutting instru-
ments on hone. Itsets quicker, gives
good edge, removes notches with great
facility, and is much more Clearly ma
terial than oil. The operation is per-
formed as follows:
Having first cleaned your hone with
sponge, soap and water, wipe it dry /;
then dip the soap in clean soft water,
and wetting also the hone, rub the soap
lightly over it, until the surface is light
ly covered all over; then proceed TO
set in the usual way, keeping the soap
sufficiently moist, and adding from time
10 time little more soap and water, if
it should be found necessary. Observe
that the soap is clean and free from dust
before you rub it on the hone; if It is
not so it is easily washed clean. Strap
the razor after setting, and also again
when you put it by, and sponge the hone

Hoo TO produce the best Fru;t.-Take
a scion from tree, the growth of the
preceding year, of the choicest fruit to
be found; cut this scion into pieces Of
two, three OF four inches in length, dip
the ends cut in warm rosin, to prevent
the sap from issuing out-plant the pie
ces in soil suitable for an orchard.-A
number of shoots will spring up; from
these select the most thrifty for growth,
lop down the remaining shoots and COW
er them faithfully with earth : in short
time they will become roots to nourish
and hasten the growth of the tree. An
orchard may be produced in this man.

VIRrUE.-!t is dangerous to trife up
on the borders Of virtue. BY teaching
us that it may be insensibly blended with
vice, that their respective limits are
not in every case evident and certain,
our vcneration for it is diminished. It's
chief safeguard is a jealous sensibility,
that startles at the colour ol~shadow of
deceit. When this barrier has been in
suited, can other be opened at which
conscience will arise and proclaim, thus

The consciousness OF such an Industrious
spectator, inRigorates and animates him.
He trusts that the eternal lover of righ-
teousness not merely beholds and ap-
proves, but will strengthen and assist !;
will not suffer him to be unjustly op-
pressed, and will reward his constancy
in the end, with glory, honor and immor-
tally. A good conscience, thus sup
ported, bestows on the heart a much
greater degree Of intrepidity than it
could otherwise inspire. One who rests
on an Almighty, though invisible pro-
tector. exerts his powers with double
force, and acts with vigor not his own.

chester, has succeededin his attempts to
accommodate all the movements of spin
ming to one uniform power. Upon the
main shaft of the spinning frame there is
sort of irregular cone, against the per-

thereby accommodate the motions of the
several parts of the machine by giving
variable speed to the spindles, and dis
tributing the threads upon the copts with
