Tanity-A man who is proud Of his property,
will sometimes call himself poor, that you may
soolhe his fancy by contradicting him. A great
beauty, will likewise pretend to believe that she
makes an ordinary appearance and,

"Methinks l look most horribly to-day
The most effectuai way to mortily such per.
sons is to pretend to believe Them and to acknows

Think him your friend who tells your faults. but
shows your virtues rather by his conduct than his
tongue.
An indolent mind sees insuperable difficulties in
every enterprise; an industrious. knows not dncul-

In sunshine there is sometimes rain; so, many
smiling face covers breaking heart.

NATIONAL PREACHER.

This work is issued monthly by Rev. Aus. tin Dickinson of New-Yorl1, at One Dollar per aDnum. Two Numbers have been pub- lished, the first containing Sermon by Rev. Dr. Mason from the words, 40 Me poor the gospel $ preachea ;-and the second No. is a Sermon by Rev. Thomas H. Skinner of Phil adelphia. The work is novel in its undertak- ing, but promises to be extensively useful in its continuance. Each No. is to contain one long, or two short Sermons, from living preachers of the first class, and upon subjects the most important. By this method of pub- lication, sermons eminently calculated to ad- vance the interests of Zion, and which oth- erwise would be readily but few, even ifread at all, will be extensively circulated through the country. and be preserved as valuable addition to Christian library. Another ben eft to be derived from the work, is the very low price at which volume of excellent ser mons can be procured, which Is at least 50 per cent less than the usual price of sermons published in ths ordinary way.
 Subscriptions received at this Office, where the back numbers can be had.

REMARKS.

No man can read the letters of Beau-
 champ in connection'with the facts, without perceiving that he formed the project of duplicating Darby almost as soon as he re- ceiyed sentence of death: that he deceived his uncle with this tale, and through him attempted to deceive others; that so far from expecting pardon from the Cover.
 nor ne never presumed to ask it; that his oply hope was from exciting the sympathy ofhis country that even this was so fec ble that he provided and kept constantly at hand, the means of self-destruction. In fine, when his conduct and language is con- sidered, it seems to us that no man can think that the Governor and his friends had any concert with Beauchamp, unless he be
 determined to believe lie. He deceived himself m attempting to operate one the
