Concluded,

remarked at some length in my last COM
munication upon the observation-disclosures which
well conducted Sabbath Schools will probably
exert upon the religious character of the COM
munity. Whether the happy anticipations OF
the future, in which then INDUCED, will ev-
er be realized or not, one thing is most GER
tain-the more religious knowledge your
children possess the better members Of socie-
ty they win become. Once impress upon the
tender and susceptible mind Of the child
that God is perfectly pure, just and holy
Being, and that all sin is utterly abomnable
in his sght-once exhibit TO him, through
the clear light of Gods word, the hateful ma
ture of iniquity, and the terrible judgments
that must await the finally impemitent--let
him once feel how lovely and desirable is viz
tue, and to what precious rewards it leads,
both here and hereatter-place before him
the perfect character OF that being who
dwell with man upon the earth, and yet was
pure and holy and Unblemished exhibit to
him that blessed Saviour, who said, suffer lit
lie Children 10 come unto me for of Such is lie
kingdom Of Hearen, expiring in. agony upon
the acursed tree, that sinners might live eter-
nauy; infuse into his mind those beautiful
and purifying and sanctifying preocpts, which
were taught by Jesus OF Nazareth; point out
to him by means Of the holy hook Of life, a
heaven of indescribable, and perpetual happi-
ness, and Gearlul place where the wicked
will be tornented forever teach him to
pray for his blessing, without whom nothing
is strong, nothing is holy, aud impress upon
him that every sincere and humble prayer
will most assuredIy be heard and answered,
and add to this your own ardent prayers
that your instructions may be blest, and tell
me ii this child will not be an honor ami a
blessing to society, rather than he vino has
been neglected 10 his childhood, and has
grown up III comparative ignorance Of the
truths oil religion Viii this child of mauy
prayers, and much spiritual instruction, ever
entirely forget the holy lessons OF his infant
years, and wander into the slippery paths of
sin, become disgrace and curse TO the
community, instead Of an ornament and a
blessings Is there nothing purifying in re-
ligious knowledge, no fragrant and lovely
blossoms 10 be gathered IN the strait and mar
row path which leadeth uuto life, that men
must always choose another! Think you
that this Child Gun walk in that broad and
dreadful road to ruin, and not be visited by
the recollection OF those days, when faitil-
lul teacher set before him the certain destruc.

uniform. We understand that ordinary lots Of
timber will make twice as many shingles in
this. as in the common way, there being no
waste made, and timber which cannot be
worked in the old way, such as bass wood,
pine that will not split, &c. may be wrought
by these machines to equal advantage with
the best of timer. A single machine requires
less than fourth part of the power usually
applied to grist mill.
The inventor has taken patent for his i'm
provement, and, we are informed, has orders
for machines faster than he can supply them.
A considerable number are in operation, and
give universal satisfaction.

VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.

machine for making shingles was invent
cd few years since by Willard Earle, of A.
thol, in this County, which he has SO far i'm
proved that it bids fair, soon, to entirely super
cede the present mode. The machinery,
which IS propelled 10y water, is easily kept in
repair, and may be managed by boys, as no
part Of the work is laborious. BY it one per-
son will easily make NJ. shingles per day.
But the greatest advantages to be derived
from this Improvement, consist in The better
quality of the work and in the great saving OF
timber. The shingles made by these machines
are all of an uniform thickness, and are made
so perfectly true. that man will lay at least a
third more, per day, than Of the common kind,
and the work, when doae, is better and moFc
