Physiching Poultry We became
acquainted lately with twovcrvremark
able facts, the one OF which relates Ia
hens, and the other to leeches. Dur.
ing the winter months, poultry of all
kinds, if tolerahly fed, are apt to he
come very fat; and tits during this peri
cd that eggs are scarcest, and Of course
dearest. To remedy this in some
measure, several farmers wives in
this neiehhorhood, are actually in the
habit of physicking their chuckies
and the practice is said to have won.

days, repeat the dose at short inter.

IN G tote Of ThomnS Paine - One
very warm evening, about twenty
years ago, passing the house were
Thomas boarded, the lower window
was open, and seeing him sitting close
by, and being OH speakablc terms, |
stepped in for n half hour's chat; sc
ven or eight of his friends were also
present, whose doubts and his own.
he was laboring TO remove by a long
talk about the story OF Joshua com
handing the sun and moon TO stand
siill, &r., and concluded by denouuc
ing the Bible as the worst of hooks.
and that il had eccasioned more nj,

by fools and designing knaves, &c
Here he paused, and while he was
rcplenishing the lumber with bis IA

der, like myself, asked Mr Paine if
he ever was in Scotland? fine answer
was, yes So have been, continues
the speaker; and the Scotch are the
greatest bigots with the Bible | ever
met--itis their schoolhook, their hons
es and. churches are furnished with Ri
bles. and if they travel Int few
miles from home, their Bible is al
ways their companion; yet, continues
the speaker, in no country where |
have travelled have / seen The people
SO comfortable and happy; their poor
are not in such abicct poverty as |
have seen in other countries: by their
bigoted custom of going to church on
Sundays. they save the wages which
they earn through the week, which
IN other countries that | have visited,

on Sundays; and of all the foreigners
who latd or our shores, none are so
much sought after for servants, and to
fill places where trust ia reposed, as
the Scotch; you rarely find th-m in
taverns, the watch house, brdewell,
or state prison. Now, says he, if the
Bible is SO bad a book, those who use il
most would be the worst of people.

Vital Rc!ig I'M lis Importance.


The worth Of true gold is an object Of
such magnitude, as exceeds the human
calculation. The strongest Imagination
cannot paint it to the mind, neither can
the utmost stretch OF thought include it
with its grasp. The value Of Religion
is inconceIvable, because the advanta-
ges arising from it, embrace eternity in
their duration. That the happiest con-
sequences result from the possession Of
real piety, appears from this, that it
gives us true excellence, and imparts
unto us the enjoyment of substantial
happiness. In life, in death, in eterni-
