bic me to prolong my existence. was no longer
helpless on the cold weltering world of waters;-
and the thought that my friends were thinking of
me, and doing all that they could for me, gave me
wonderful courage may yet pass the night in
the ship, thought, and looked around eagerly to
the rush of her prov, or to through the snow
drift the cleaning of her sails.
This was but momentary gladness. The ship
l knew could not be far off, but for any good she
could do me, she might have been in the heart Of
the Atlantic ocean. Ere she could have altered her
course, must have drfted along way to the lee
ward, and in that dim snowy night, how was such
speck to be seen l saw fash Of lightning and
then there was thunder. 1t the ship firing &
gun, to let me know, if still alive, that she was
somewhere lying to. But wherefore Twas sepa-
rated from her by dire necessity, by many thou
sand and fierce waves, that would not let my voice
be heard. Each succeeding gun was heard fainter
and fainter, till at last cursed the sound, that
scarce heard above the hollow rumbling Of the tenn
pestuous sea, told me that the ship farther and
farther off, till she and her heartless crew had left
me to my fate. Why did they not send their boats
round and round all the night through for the sake
of one whom they had pretended to love SO well
blamed, blessed, and cursed them by fits, every
emotion of my soul was exhausted, and chung in
sullen despair to the wreched piece of wood, that
still kept me from eternity.
Was it not strange that all this time the image Of
my friends at home never entered my mind My
thoughts had never escaped beyond the narrow and
dim horizon of the sea, at least never beyond that
fatal ship. But now thought of home, and the
blessed things there, and so intensely bright was
that fash Of heavenly images, that for moment nv
heart was filled with happiness 1t was terrible
when the cold and dashing waves broke over me in
that insane and dreaming fit, and awoke me to the
conviction, that there was nothing in store for
but an icy and lingering death, and that who had
so much to live for was seemingly on that account
most miseraby to perish.
What war Of passion perturbed my soul Had
for this kept my heart full of tenderness pure lofty
and heroic my best beloved and long betrothed?
Has God kept me alive through fevers and plaques
and war and earthquakes, thus to murder me at

IMPROVED SPELLING BOOK.

Pery's Spelling Book revised and corrected,
with Walkers pronunciation precisely applied on
new plan. Containing also. Moral Reading

instruction of YOUTH BY ISRAEL ALsER, Jr. A. M.
Teacher of Youth, Editor of Propouncing Bible,
English Teacher, sc.
Perry's Spelling Book has always been much
used, and esteemed as one of the best; the only
objection TO its more general use, it is believed,
has been the authors peculiar system of pronun-
citation, which of late has become somewhat UNI
fashionable; and it must be confessed that Walk
er's is preferable. To meet the public opinion in
this respect, the publishers have employed MIR.
Alger, than whom no one is probably more eapa-
BILE to apply Walkers pronunciation TO the
work, and he has done it on a plan which cannot
but be understood by all who can read or spell at
all, after very little instruction.
A few new easy lessons and cuts have been ad-
ded, and the syllabes of two letters, in the first
chapter, have been newly arranged to suit the
views of the Editor. Dissimilar letters of similar
sounds, have been so placed with their musical
associates, as to form new order in the colu IA MS
of the primary lessons In the monosyllables a
few words have been added, and others through
the work, have been trsnsposed to improve the
pronunciation and avoid inconsistency. No ncon.
venience, however, on account of alterations and
Improvements, will result to schools, already fur.
nished with any of the old editions of this work
as the Old Series and the New may be used in
the same classes.

When we reflect on the situation of man.
Kind, and consider the innumerable trials, dis
appointments, and misfortunes incident to hui
man life, we naturally infer that it is the duty
of every one to extend the helping hand, and
contribute to the necessities of others. wheney.
er occasion requires, and opportunity is afford
ed. Although there are many calamities,
over which human power has no control, vet,
1t Is frequently the case, that the evils of life
may be greatly alleviated by the tender SYM
pathy and friendly aid of others. When the
tide OF adversely rises, and dashes its waves
over the auspices of smiling fortune; or when
the shafts OF calumny are maliciously hurled
without reason, and the gloom of desponden-
cJ begins to envelop the mind of the unhappy
sufferer, the i'll consequences may often be in
good degree avered, by little assistance,
or by the friendly Interference of sympathising
humanity.
As mankind are made capable of rendering
mutual assistance and consolation, in seasons
OF afliiction, they are under the strongest
obligations to exercise their faculties for that
purpose. Such is the theory of the social duty
OF man-but, alas! how different is the prac-
hce! Although all are ready to acknowledge
that Il ls duty to exercise compassion TO-
wards the afflicted and to strive to mitigate their
sufierings, yet, how few in number are they
who prove themselves true friends in adversi-
ty. When man holds a conspicuous rank in
society, and is encompassed with the reful-
gence of prosperity. his pretended friends are
AS numerous as the parasites of ancient mon
archs, and all are otficious 10 pay tribute
of respect. But if reverse of fortune chance
to take place, and his worldly prospects begin
to be overcast, those, who before were so pro-
fuse Of their attention, will not only withhold
from him every degree Of assistance, and
every token of respect--but they will add to
his af1iction by insinuating that his inisfor-
| tunes are the result Of his own imprudence :;
while those who have any legal demand
against him, will not fail to asgravate his dis
| tress by adding cost TO the original claim.
! No less severe is the conduct of many, to-
wards the man, against whose reputation the
tongue of SANDER is venting its malice. An
madyersion upon his character is found 70 be
the popular theme-and, though he may have
given no occasion for such an assault, the
multitude join in the attack; and while he is
on the verge Of ignominy they are impatient to
plunge him into the abyss.
When we reflect on the "unnatural salts
faction" that mankind take in each others dis
tress, and how frequently it is aggravated by
those who should be SOLICITORS to impart relief.
well may we, in the language Of the poet, ex.

The late Jane Taylor is deservedly considered
as among the most agreeable and instructive
of British female writers. Soon after the
publication of display, a Tale for Young
People," and an excellent little work,
which the old as we'll as the young may
read with profit, Miss Taylor's declining
health rendered the excitement and exhaus-
ton of literary composition too much for a
frame Of feeble texture --She yentured,
however, to undertake short and desultory
papers, which were published in the Youths
Magazine during the course Of the seven
years, beginning with 1916 and ending with
1929, when Miss Taylor was obliged, by in
creasing i'll health, TO desist entirely from
literary occupation. Not long before her
last illness she revised and prepared for the
press the greater part of these papers, (sev-
enty-nine in number) which are deemed a.
mong the happest efforts Of her pen, and
they have since been published in sepa-
rate volume. One Of these papers, entitled
The Discontinued Pendulum," has been
extensively circulated in the journals Of the

BUTLER'S
Vegetable Indian Specific,

FOR the cure of Colds, Coughs, Con-
symptoms, splitting of blood, Asthmas, and all
diseases of the breast and lungs.
There isperhaps no medical observation better
established, none more generally confirmed by
the experience of the best physicians of all ages
and countries, and none of more Importance to
the human family, than the fact, that many OF
the most difficult and incurabe Consumptions
originate in neglected colds,
The celebrated DR.. Cullen has taught us that
"our first attention should be employed in watch
ing the approach of the disease, and preventing
its proceeding to an incurabIe state"
This Specific is obtained by extraction from
herbs, roots, flowers, plants, sc when in psrtec-
ton. 1t heals the injured parts, opens the pores,
and composes the disturbed nerves after the
manner of an anodyne. 1t promotes expectora-
ton; and, whilst it ceanses and heals it also gives
strength to the tender lungs 1t may always, be
given in safety. 1t is mild, pleasant to the taste,
and may safely be given to infants, for which ii is
Of inestimable value. 1t affords relief in bowel
complaints, teething, whooping coughs. nc. and
is found particularly useful in hypochondrical,
nervous, and hysterical diseases. Each bill of d.
rectons contains detailed account of this disease
in all its different stages, and will be accompan
