II Stitch in time Saves .Wine--Not merely
in stockings; it holds in every article in bn-
siness.
A woman wants to use dish, spoon, a
pail, tumbler, or something else. When
she is done for that time, she does not clean
it, for she will put it up dirty and wait, till
she has number of articles to clean. BY
and by every thing is dirty, and half day
must be devoted to washing and scrubblng:
whereas, had every thing been cleaned, at
first separately, it would only have filled up
little vacancies of time, which would not
otherwise have pcen employed; the time
never would have been perceived. Every
thing that is left dirty, tends to sour some
thing about it; few dirty articles in the
closet makes it necessary to clean and scrub
the whole, as often again as would otherwise
be necessary. II stitch in time saves nine.
A man sees post of his fence falling, one
post commands but little attention; the fence
will answer for this Summer. The next
Spring the frost heaves the land, and loosens
half dozen posts near it, and the weight of
the leaning fence pulls it down, and half a
dozen lengths with it.
A clapboard gets loose, or a shingle, upon
his house. One clapboard off can do no
great injury, says the man; he neglects it;
but rain and snow get in unperceived; and in
year or two t7uenty ciahboarets are rotten
and fall off by wholesale. "Ah says the man
this has been neglected too long. All this
might have been saved with few minutes
trouble" True, but it is too late to shut the
door when the horse is stolen. II stitch in
time saves nine.
A lawyer or public officer, has papers to be
filed. One after another is handed in and he
throws them into the desk, waiting for a
large number. and then he will arrange then,
in order. Before he is ready, somebody calls
and wants to look at paper. The man
tumbes over the papers an hour or two, and
after all can't find it--but he will file them
soon, and then he will be ready to show any
paper whatever. Pray caHagain, is all the
man gets for calling.
But in no article does a stitch in time save
so much as in government. One public
officer neglects his duty a little;-another
cheats little; but these peccadillos are over
look ked-the mischief is not great--the fub-
lie does not feel it-and individuals will not
inform, for they will make some scoundrel
their enemy.-At last thousand little evils
swell into great hu6Hc one-thr public is
cheated, betrayed, abused; but where's the

SERIOUS REFLECTIONS.


Between two worlds, life hovers like star,
'Twixt night and morn, upon the horizons verge,
How little do we know that which we are!
How less what we may bel the eternal surge
Of time and tide rolls on, and bears afar
Off bubbles; as they burst, new immerge,
I.ash'd from the foam of age; while the graves
Of empires hcave but like some passing waves
The sun arose on fine morning in June, in
all his beauty and glory; the pearly drops
that hung ON the spires of the meadows,
shrunk away at his approach, the cattle on
the mountains rose and stretched themselves
in glaslness, and regaled themselves on the
rich vere:urc moistened by the morning dew;
the lark scared high in the air, and sounded
her shrill matin song, and the less vocal
birds awaked by the sound, joined in sort
of confused harmony. The buXom lad sung
a merry song as he FASTENED to the field,
and the -cheeked lass, as she sat by the
window, looked out upon the beautiful morn
ing, and painted it on her cheek with a
smile All! beautiful, said /, is Nature.
But at ereninga different scene was present
cd small cloud appeared i'll the west,
which kept rising and swelling; the vivid
lightning began to streak across its breast,
and the distant thunder seemed the foreboder
of a tempest; as it approached the zenith,
the winds arose, and with sudden crash
tore the huge boughs from the oak, mighty
son OF the forest; the beasts of the field look
ed astonished, and man gazed in amaze
ment. The rain poured down in floods;
the lightnings seemed to inhame the whole
atmosphere, and joined with the mighty
roaring of the wind, and the crashing of the
thunder seemed to say tl:at "all was lost"
Terrible, said /, art thou, o God of Nature.

HoME.-The heart may seek to conceal
itself from the outward world, but in the
sanctuary of home it takes refuge from con-
straiut, leaving its excellence or its depravity,
its charms or its defects, to the observation
of others. A multitude of little circumstan-
ces that we can neither foresee nor avert,
daily make discoveries of our principles and
actions to those that surround us; and happy
is the individual whose conduct will always
bear this microscope of home.
Domestic Lie.-The Earl of Orrery well
observes, that whenever VIC step out of DOM
este life, in search of felicity, we come back
again disappointed, tired, and chagrned.
One day passed under our own roof, with our
family is worth thousand in another place.

10 excite curiosity and speculation.

from thirty to forty feet above the hrst bank OF

and shape corresponds with that OF the foot OF
Jack.-It is neatly made, III the present FASH

the place where it was found, might be such as
to prevent any further corrodlng: II Is oePosi-
