for his master. The horses not moving ex-

Weather; he began to curse and swear in a
dreadful manner at them, and to fog them
most numerically. AS their pace was not
much quickened by these means, he became
quite frantic with rage, and tore his hair, and
continued his dreadful oaths, calling upon God
to blast lis limbs. God heard and answered
his mpious prayer, aid struck him he was
instantly deprived of the use of his limbs, and
though he has begun to drag his legs with
some difficulty after him, he has never get spo-

the stars then all is weakness, dependency
and terror, as in besieged fortress. when its
defenders trenlble. its strong men are bowed
down. its doors and windows are closed and
barred, the noise of merriment, and even of
necessary occupations, is silenced, and the
chirping Of an innocent sparrow excites a
larm the strength and appetite fail; man is
about to 60 to his eternal home, and the
mourners are about to pass in procession thro'
the streets; the silver chain will soon be par
ted, and the golden cup dashed to pieces !; the
wheel aud the urn at the fountain win soon be
broken the dust must return to earth as il
was, and the spirit unto God who gave it. ,
Happy they who listen to the persuasive ell
oquence Of this beautiful portion of the sacred
writings who devote the freshness and vigOur
Of their youthful days to the service of their
Creator! Thus he will be their friend. His
love will beam upon their souls, when the
storms of adversely and darkness of age over
take them. When nature is dcspondent, and
sinks from infrmity, light from heaven will
cheer them. And though the earthly house
of their tabernacle be dissolved, they have a
building of God house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.

his successor. Does this look like liberty
He told the people it was and they believ-
ed il. They thought that he was too great
man to do wrong, and that whatever he
did was right. They now begin to see
wherein they were mistaken. The Con-
gress Of Peru should have assembled last
March, and all the representatives from
the different districts should have come to
Lima. But Bolivar, fearful perhaps that
they might wrest from him the power of
Dictator, given to him at their last session,
dissolved them before they entered on bu-
sinesS.
think that the opinion will be different
from what it now is in the United States
and Europe with regard to Bolivar, and that
before the year is out, he will tarnish the
great fame he has obtained asa disinteres-
ted patriot, and cease to be coupled with
Washington, as the saviour of his coun-

MORGAN'S AXES.

"ORGAN'S Best Cast Steel Axes ground
IVL ready for use, and warranted genuine,
are for sale by J. G.. & A. WADSWORTH.
To wOod-chOppers that have used the above
mentioned Axes, nothing need be said in their
favour. Those persons that are not acquaint-
ed with the reputation of MOrgan's Axes, are
informed that they are much preferable to
those in common use, being of more perfect
shape, and having liberal portion of steel.
Fun reliance may be safely placed on the SUI
periority OF these axes, every one of them
being carefully made and tempered by Mr..
Morgan himself, whose attention is wholly
confined to the business of making and tenn
pering axes. Although skill in tempering an
axe is of indispensable Importance, its good
ness depends very much on the steel of which
it is made. and these axes are recommended
to the public with the greatest confidence, as
the steel used in making them is of a very SUI
perior quality having been imported from Eng
land expressly for axes.
0jS1he Adore Ares are ,ocrranted on the fol-
Losriag Terms.
If an axe proves too soft, SO as TO bend on
at4e edge, or breaks in consequence of flaw
in the steel, and is returned within so days
from the date of purchase, a new one will be
given in exchange.-If an axe is broken where
the steel is sound, it will be CO lsdered as done
by hard usage, and will not be exchanged.
None will be exchanged unless returned with
in 80 days.

AWFUL END OF AN INFIDEL.

A minister Of the gospel who lives at
Manchester, was met in the street by a
stranger, who asked if he was a minister,
and requested him, to- go directly to see a
poor dying man, who was in most deplo-
Fable state ofmind. On reaching the house
Of the dying man, he found him in most
pitiable condition; the man was aware he
was about to enter into eternity, and was
utterly without hope. He told the minis
ter that he had Joined himself to set of
men who had ruined him for ever. He
said that on certain evening he had as
sembled with large party of them, with
the express purpose Of burning their Bi-
dtes which purpose they efecred with every
mark of contempt they could possibly heap
upon this blessed book. The poor man
further said, that he had never had one
moments peace since, and this dreadful
act lay on his concience like dead weight.
The minister endeavored to point him to
"the Lamb Of God who taketh away the
sins of the world" and spoke TO him of
the love him who commissioned the A.
postle to preach, in his name, repentance
and remission of sins, beginning at Jerusa-
lem; and the poor man appeared to be
more tranquil, land to listen with more COM
posure to what was said. AT this time some
OF his companions in sin came into the room.
At the sight of them lie shuddered and
shouted aloud, and then fell to cursing
them bitterly told them all they had ruined
his soul, and again cursing them all to hell
flames, till his body being worn out with the
the violence ofhis exertions, he sunk down
and expired. Home Mss. Mag.

SPRING SADDLES.

4 WORD THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy saddles,
which is, for the most part just and general one and
really grievance to those who have much riding TO
do has caused him to turn his mind particularly to that
subject, with view, possible, to remedy the evil
He with confidence assure the public, that he has
accomplished it The plan projected is by means Of
strong and well tempered steel springs so constructed
to support the saddle seat and give much greater
to both rider and horse than saddles made in the
common way or any other that he has can pos
sibly do The plan is entirely different from the En-
glsh elastic saddles with spring bars of steel, whale
bone &c. and also from those with wire springs; and
he conceves much superior to either as the elasticity
greater and the tree not being put out Gifts original
