EARLY PIETY,

In pursuing the subject Of early pi.
ety' we would remark, that God ha,
mercifully connected our happincs,
and our duty. Religion calls for n,
sacrifice, which a true regard 20 oul
own well-bcing alone would not lead
US to make. There is nothing austcre
or terrific in her aspect---and the bIcs
sings and rewards ofcarly picty will
not be extended to ourselves alone
To say nothing of the salutary in1,-
ence of your example, think with what
Joy j, will the bosom of those who gave
youbirth, to see your life dedicated to
God and virtue. Yoa may pay back
something Of the anspeakablc debt of
gratitude which you awe to them
You may make that bosom, which has
50 often borne you in sickness and sor-
row, throb with swelling JOY and
that patsrnal countenance which has
always turned on you with benignity,
beam with the smiles Of delightful
thanktulness. Defer it, and your re-.
pentance, If it come ut all. may come
too late to give joy to them--too late
to prevent their grey hairs from going
down in sorrow to the grave
Remember that your calculations on
future life, however yoang you may
be. are wholly precarious. Who shall
tell you what day may bring forth
Where is yopr chart of heightened
life ? What armour of adaman; have
you to put on, which shall BE- proof a.
gain.t the dart Of Death Or do you
hold the pledge Of. the grim monarch
of the tomb, that he will spare you,
when he spares none besidea
You, who presume SO much on your
youth did. you never hear that the
budding rose might be blasted ere it
could unfold its bloom Did you nev.
er know the brightness of the morning
darkened by the temnest, ere the sun
had reached its noons Does death,
think you, boast no trophies, but those
which he gathers from age and feeble
ness? Did you never see the cheek
Of early beauty grow pale with dis
ease the nervous arm Of health sink
languid and lifeless the kindling eye
become dimmed and queuched /; and
the untimely grave open to receive
the RUNS of YOUTH aud hope ? All
then, presume not too much on your
own exemption. Dream not that you
are safe. when every step you take
is fraught with danger, In these
bright days Of health, this fresh and
sweet morning of life. listen to the
voice Of wisdom ;give her thine heart.
aud let thine heart, aud let thine eye
observe her ways, Defer not until TO-
morrow your good resolutions--for
that morrow may never dawn for you

PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS.

M. dc Ia place, in one of the last
sittings Of the Academy of Sciences
at Paris. proposed tho following four
questions for examination and decis
ion, by commission of that philo-
sophical body :-lst. The actual in
tensity Of the terrestrial magnetism.
2d. The exact proportion Of tho
two gases which constitute our at
mosplere sd. The exact pres
sure Of tho atmosphere at the sur
face of the sea :-4th. The heat Of
the terrestrial globe at different
depths, following Iatitudes and other
appreciahle differences. This ingen-
ious academician allowed, that two
or more of these points had been al
ready examined by tho greatest phi
losophers. and had been considered
as sufficiently settled for most prac-
lical purposes but he thought that
results sufficiently accurate to be ap-
pealed by posterity ought to be es-
tablished after sill more rigorous
inquiry. Unless more decided aud
more generally admitted statement
Of facts involved in these questions
could be made. future ages wonld
want the means Of ascertaining OF
measuring the changes which may
take place on the surface Of our
globe. A comm issiOn was accord
ingly appointed to make experiments
to ascertain the above points, and

Effects Of Gambling. Another in.
stance has just occurred. The son of
a respectable merchant in Liverpool,
was sent hither by his father, with Il
power Of attorney to receive very con-
siderable sum Of money. Having ac-
complished the object of his journey,
the young man was induced to prolong
his stay in the metropolis, as it was his
first visit and all was new to him, and
imprudently formed an acquaintance
with one Of those well dressed swindlers
who are ever on the watch to entrap
the ignorant and unwary. The natur-
al consequences followed, dissipation
and pleasure led to expense. asd the
money he had received was broken in
upon; thea the gaming house was pro-
posed to restore the sum wasted. The
first night success attended the unhap-
py victim, but the second left him with
out shilling. In despair, he tried to
enlist for india, but was rejected as un-
der size, then he retired to an obscure
lodging OH Oxford-r0ad, where he sub
sisted by selling his clothes, sc. and at
last in destitution and 81 :kness, was sup
ported by the kindness and charity Of
his landlord. he refused to tell his ia
theirs name, till at length, won by the
benevolent attentions Of some religious
persons belonging 10 the missionary in-
stitutions, he informed them respecting
his friends. The father was written to
and he instantly started from Liverpool
having already suffered greatly from
anxiety at the unaccountable absence Of
his son and his total silence, and merely
arrived in time to see him expire for
the sudden shock. and the effort the un.
happy. man made to raise himself in bed
and throw himself before his father,
were too much for his exhausted frame.
The grieved and afflicted father, over.

The Ciihate.-It may be fequent-
! " heard remarked in conversation, that
the climate is considerably changed
from what it was few years ago.
Many OF our old citizens complain IN
the .aost melancholy tones. ooh f. we
have none of The good OLD winters oi
'98, when if yon put Oh you 1Dinterabies
in Dccembes. you were not compelled
to take them oil till April. These

tite, pare republican principles flour

There were 10 thin faces, thin shoes,
thin dresses or thin soups in those glo-
eous days. GDut was scarcely known,
aud the principal consumption heard
of was the consumption of fat beef and
sour krOut."
There is certainly some truth in
these complaints. Our ancestors were
not punished with the changcable
weather which we have seen of late
This very moment we write, is the 9th
day that We have seen neither sun,
moon. nor stars, unless 1t De the stars
OF the Park Theatre. 1t is feared al
so, that the peculiar dampness lately
prevalent will increase the influenza
which had been hitherto disappearing.
Indeed, is is to be hoped that the in
flucnza and its train of evils might de.
part, for we are afraid, if the sick peo-
pie increase. the learned members oi
our medical societies will not yet time
tocarry ON their interesting warfare.
With regard, however, 70 the change
in our climate, it is well known that
the winters are different even TO what
they were ten years ago. Some Of Mr..
SPafford's disciples say that the pres
ent winter is in consequence Of the
great shaking Of the heavens. which
took place at the firing of the canal
cannon last celebration. We will not
answer for this, nor for any other the
ory. The principal object for US and
our readers, is to provide againsts its
evils: 1t will not do as in former times
to set out from December with a win
ter suit, with a determination not to
change it till we wind ourselves in the
lap Of April.
We have some times all the fonr
seasons in four and twenty hours. A
man may 60 to bed in winter, rise in
spring, take walk through Wall-st.
in su~mer. and go home to tea in au.
tumn and all this too IN the course of
one day. No wonder that SO many as
eight hundred and upwards die year

Is sufficient to send the strongest of US
