accept the second yince in tie government, SO
generously proposed TO him last winter by Mr..
CTmJord's party, vrulently abused and reviIed,

What melancholy spectacle is it to
the aged and infrm parent, to see his
son sink beneath one of the most cruel
vices that has ever.yet entered the hu-
man family. The situation of the rar-
ent is full of uncertainties and trials.
His children may be either curse or
blessing--the disgrace or the ornament
of his declining years. A father, bles-
sed with virtuous son, may lay his head
in peace upon his pillow, and may even
part from the world with the consolato-
ry idea that he leaves son worthy of
himself. Reverse the tablet, and you
may have the picture of a parent, whose
bosom is distracted by the sight of son
gradually falling into The arms of dissi-
patton, debasing his manners by those of
the. low company into which he enters,
wasting his talents in the greatest de-
bauchery, and throwing away his pre-
cious time in i1leness and drunkenness.
Cast your eyes around you, and see how
many promising young men there are,
who entered life with high hopes beam
ing on their brow, cheered by the smiles
of their family and their friends, adorned
with excellent educations, and capable
of rising rapidly to distinction and for
tune-yet, from some low association
which they may have formed, como

morning, when the moon went down.
In the morning she kept the direction of
;he sun, which she imagined was in the
vest! and the next night found a road,
which was in Bethel, Maine-at length
she saw guide board, and read it by
moon light--found she had travelled
great distance from home, and was still
pursuing wrong course. She turned
about,and at midnight arrived at house
and called up the family, who administer
ed every thing for her comfort. She
had been without food IS hours, and had
travelled 40 miles. On Monday morn
ing one ofthe family started TO bring her
on. and was met by one of the parties in
search II miles from home. Knowing
the excitement, one man carried the
news from that place to the house of Mr..
ingalls,, in one hour and eight minutes,
when the signal was fired. The father
of the girl was killed in battle during
the late war, and her mother had re-
moved 10 the state of IlIirois. The
zeal of Mr.. Ingalls, for the welfare of the
orphan, was not less distinguished than
his iberality in furnishing an excellent
entertainment to those who had engaged
in the pursuit.

slight degree of indulgence into which
they have originally fallen, perhaps fol
want of tortitude to encounter their frs
disappointment, or misfortune, hurried
on to habit of intoxication, and ending
their career 10 ruin and disgrace.
Believe me, the paths of vice are ca.
silly trod, Unless the foot be firm, they
are too slippery to be trusted.
You may easily acquire the habit of
drinking. Some drink because they
have nothing else to do and idleness is
the root of most evils. Some drink be-
cause they have an agreeable friend;
and in good fellowship they do not like
to refuse the cup which he holds out
But, take my word for it, that by what
ever motive you are impelIed to WOO
the mantfing bowl, it requires a might
which few men possess, to wean them
selves from it, and to break the spell
once fastened upon them.

During her Illness, her former hus.

As he was unwilling to surprise her
while she was combatted with sickness,
he had employed trusty person to
make him acquainted with each particu-
lar of her case-and the very moment
the news of her death reached his ear,
he was seized with frantic wiIduess

celve no sustenance, but TO bury him.

on her breast, and thus pine out the re-
manning period Of his existence.
Full of this resolution he repaired the
night she was buried to her tomb and af-
ter digging up the earth, discovered her
coffin, fetched deep sigh, and was "a
bout to Streach his Wearied limbs, when
to his CONSERVATION, establishment, and
alright, he perceived signs fife. He
tore open the coffin, and found it even
as he suspected. His wife was almost
suffocated. He snatched her up in his
arms, conveyed her 10 the house of
neighbour, had her put into warm bed
and in few weeks she ives perfectly
restored to life and tolerable health.
As she had a real affection for her
first husband she made no scruple in
choosing him for her companion-but as
the affair soon made prodigous noise
throughout the country, the second hus-
band, who also doated on her TO destrac-
ton, no sooner was informed of the par

IN France were employed redundan-
cy oferudition was displayed, and after
being litufgated for length of time, a
solemn decision was made in favour Of
the former husband.
The story has so much the air of Ia
BILE and romance, that to leave an i'm
preston of its truth on the minds Of our
readers, it is necessary to inform them
that the French lawyers have selected
all the famous trials with the decisions
that have been given in their courts for
a series of years.
This work which is contained in sew

an account of some experiments lately
made in Holland, OH the velocity of

on the plains Of Utrecht; and care was
taken to annihllate the effects of the
wind. The stations were 1864 feet a.
part; and the velocity ascertained by
determining the interval between the
flash and report of guns, by means Of

FROM THE N. E. FARMER,
HARD WATER FOR IRRIGATION.

lr Parks Chemical Essays, page 9,
it is asserted that according to DR..
Home, hard water promotes the growth
of plants in much greater degree than
soft water.'' Sir John Sinclair saws,
" In regard to waters much impregnat.
ed with iron, they were formerly sup
posed totally unfit for the purposes Of
irrigation but it is now fully proved,
by the accurate experiments of an able
chemist, and by the extraordinary
growth of grasses in Prisley meadow in
Bedfordshire, that ferruginous waters
are friendly to vegetation, when. prop
erly applied" We believe that many
if not the greater part of what we call
hard waters in this country are render
ed hard by sulphate Of lime, Tgypsum)
and are the more fit for irrigation from
the very circumstance which causes
them to be improper for bleaching, the
use of the dyer and most culinary pur.
poses.
