SHERIDAN,
\ few years before his death, Paid a
visit to AN old sportsman in the sister
Kingdom, at the commencement Of the
shooting season, and, in order to avoid the
inpntation of being downright Ignore
mus, he was under the necessity of taking
a gun, and at the dawn OF day setting forth
IN the pursuit of game. Unwillng to ex-
pose his want of skill, he took an oppo-
site course to that of his friend. and was
accompanied by a game-keeper, provided
with bay to receive the birds which might
fall victims to his attacks, and pair of
excellent pointers. The game-keeper was
a true Pat, and possessed all those arts of
barney which are known to belong to his
countrymen and thinking it imperative
on him 10 be particularly attentive to his
masters friend, he lost no opportunity of
praising his proves. The first covey
tand the birds were abundant rose within
few yards of the statesman's nose, but
the noise they made was SO unexpected.
that he waited till they were 'sout OF
harms way before he fired. Pat, whe
was on the lookout, expressed his surprise.
and Immediately observed, :. Faith, sir, |

THE VINE

The VINE.
The culture of the vine seems to have
become favourite pursuit with the acri-
culturists of the present day. There are.
perhaps, not less than fifteen or twenty
vineyards within as many miles of the
Borough of York, Pennsylvania and
nearly all commenced within a year or
two. Should this disposition increase.
and, as consequence, the wine presses be
made to take the place of diStilleres. j,
will benefit the morals of the community.
Among what are called civilized nations.
the vice of drunkenness has always been
found to prevail most extensively where
the vine is not cultivated. To encouraoe
our vine-growers, let them turn their ewes
TO France. That country, thoue h not the
native land Of the vine, has, at the present
day, almost four millions OF acres en-
ployed in its cultivation The AVERAGE
production of these immense vineyards. is
about one thousand millions of gallons E:
and the whole annual value of their vim
tage, about 125 millions of dollars.

LOVE.

Worthily to love, and fondly to devote
ourselves to the happiness of another, who
deserves cur high regard, is not condemned
by religion. 1t is not even weakness which
it permits and deplores; but a virtue which
it sanctions and commands. And the heart
that is deceived or betrayed, need not aug
mcnt its anguish by selfreproach. Love is
not only an innocent but noble passion.
When guided and controlled by religion, it is
the germ of all social virtucs-thc cement
and the solace of the various relations of hui
man life. When rewarded with the hollow
cd possession Of its object, it strews the path
of duty with flowers, and scents the air with
fragrance when unfortunate, and ill-reqnit-
ted, it becomes, absorbed i'll high and holy
principles investing resignation with dn-
wontcd subimity ,and Extracting from Garth
ly disappointment, the calm satisfaction OF
heavenly hopc.--Thc process by which il is
thus transformed, may impair the fragile
tenement i'll which it is cnshrincd, and tht
dross of mortality, i'll such furnace, ma,
melt away into its Kindred earth; but Tho
soaring, unrobed spirit, returns to God who
gave it, and at last enjoys rcposc where il
first derived cxistancc.

THE SABBATH.
Welcome sweet day Of rest
That saw the Lord arise"

The Sabbath is always, and for number
of frcasons, peculiarly welcome day to me. l
love it as a time OF rest, of reposc from the
tolls and anxictics of the week, and because
it is cmbcmatical of the eternal sabbath OF
reposc and peace which is to succeed the
busy and toilsomc season Of lifc--1 love it for
its camncss and serene tranquility--lovc
it for the holy and reverend associations with
which it is connected, and which its return
awakcns in the heart - love it as a day pccu-
liarly appropriate for devotion, and for So
lcmn and religious meditation, and set apart
by the Deity for that particular purpose
and as being blessed and hallowcd by the
great author of the Universe. But above all
it is welcome as a day when the good and
pious of all ages and conditions-youth, fresh
and blooming, as we'll as reverend and hoary
agc-thc poor as well as the rich--arc won,
to simultaneously repair to the temple of the
Divinity, and pour forth upon the alter o.

And take its sweetness from the flowers,
