There is an old song called "Thc Devil

him that was enough for one lesson--but
be returned no more. The Christian saw
him month after and asked the reason.
-" have not learned the first lesson
yet" said he. AT the end ofsix months
he met him again, and putting the same
question, received the same reply
Six years passed finally, and The Indian

other. How hard is the tongue to

1t may, perhaps, be nee dies now to
add any thing in confirmation of DR.
Wallis sol ution of the sun and moon APP
pearing so much larger at rising and
setting, than in greater altitude; though
some have gone on very ahsurdly, and
still go on to account for it from va
pours which remember was given me
in my youth for the true canse of it.
1t is true, that it is these vapours 10
the atmosphere alone, that make those
bodies when very near the horizon, APP
pear in a spheroidical form, by refract-
ing, and thereby raising, (to slightly the
lower limb more than the upper, yet
these can be no cause Of the other. Sun
or moon, each subtending about half
degree, appears in the meridian of the
breadth of eight or ten inches, 10 some
eyes, to some eyes more. and 10 others
less, and in the horizon to be two OF
three feet, more or less, according to
the extent ofground they are seen over.
But if one has an opportunity, as l
have frequently had, of seeing the sun
rise or set over a small eminence at the
distance of a mile OF two, with tall trees
standing on it pretty close, as is usual
in woods, without underwood, his body
will then appear to De-te twelve
feet in hrna4th, according to the distance
and circumstances of the trees he is
seen though, and where there has been
some thin underwood,o or a few saplings,I
have observed, that the sun setting red,
has appeared through them like large
extensive flame, as if some house was
on fire beyond them.
Now the reason of this is obvious, viz.
that being we'll acquainted with trees,
the ideas of the space they take up are
IN manner fixed, and as one of those
trees, subtends an angle at the eye, per-
haps not exceeding two or three sec
onds, and would scarcely be distinguish
able, were it not for the strong light be-
hind the m, the suns diameter of above
thirty inches, takes in several of them,
and therefore will be judged vastly lar
ger. Hence it is evident, that those
bodies appear greater or less, according
to the objects interposed, or taken in
by the eye on viewing them, and this
only is the phenomenon to be imputed.
IMPROVED METHOD OF TANNING.-The

Doctor H. H. Hayden of this city has
discovered very important improve
ment in the art of converting raw hides
into leather, By means of pyrolignious
preparation, the use of which he has
secured by letters patent, under the seal
OF the United States.
by this method, raw hides, of any
description, after the usual process of
hair'ng and batting. are converted into
excellent leather in less than thi,ty sac
hours. Fed. Gaz.

it might be said that man had better
never enter Tavern, or never return

ed from the throne of literature, that a
tavern chair is the throne of human
felicity. Whether Doctor johnson
we're shear" or a beaver, must be de-
cided blythe critics There is no pri-
vate house, in which one can be so much
at ease, or act his free will and pleasure
with such an air of authority, and at the
same time be so free from responsible
ty on account Of what he may do or say,
as in tavern. A tavern is a mart of
u
merchandise, where your specie is re-
ceived in full payment for almost any
sort of indulgence. Nobody will pre-
sumo TO contradict you at tavern, should
you protest that " black was not black,
nor white SO very white = provided,
you pay your bill, and be, besides, as
SIR Roger De Coverly has il, man of
principle and smoker. You may eat
much' drink much, talk much, and laugh
much, and, more than all, you may pay
much, and nobody Of the house win
complain. Yon are only required to all
low the same freedom of eating and
laughing, add drinking and talking, and
paying, 70 all other persons whatsoever.
A tavern is a little republic, were you
may caucus and nominate, and vote for
yourself without dissenting voice. And
