TnE SABBATH.

Mr. Edilor-By the annexed extract h viii be seen thai our friends in New Eng land, were ready year ago, to favour our Sabbath measures. In fact it seems as though the set time to favour Zion had tHl- ly come. The idea suggested, that half the courage of Satan comes from the cow- ardice of Christians, struck me with pecu- liar force. hope thc church aCiH sincere % remcmbea it, and the men whr love the laws of God, will be bold, and aid with system aud energy; and after putting their hands to the plough, Jet them not turn back.

 Dear Sir-I have but moment to tell you how much am gratiied Gf indeed 1 could tell you) with the doings at your sab bath convention, at Auburn, just received. In taking the bull by his horns,I presume you have anticipated his wrath and roar ing &Cthe vigilence &vigourous grasp nec- essary to preserve your hold. God is with you; and the Christian community are with you. Go on with firm, steady, un- ostentatious zeaI-but go on. The exam pie is just whot the times cGH tOr.

the meantime, the elephant, who had
preserved in his trunk few gallons of
porter with which he had been rewarded
by his master for his good behaviour in
the pass of the mountains, raised his trunk
to proper elevation, and swinging it over
the heads of the recoiling multitude, lib
orally distributed the generous liquid
among them-deluging the bonnets and
beavers, nothing the white gowns, caps
and fuckers, and making the artificial
roses to droop under the brown shower
with which they were drenched. The
rush for the door was redoubled with
great squeezing and screaming among the
crowd, who imagined the great gigantick
animal treading upon their heels. AT
length, however, the elephant, who had
his joke, was prevailed upon by his atten-
dants to carry it no further and to retire.
The audience came back to their seats,
wiped their faces, and now that their
frightsswas over, were highly amused at the

ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAORDINARY.


At Astley's Theatre in London, which
is kind of Circus where equestrian feats
are displayed, animals exhibited, and
pantomimes and melo dramas performed,
an entertainment was lately given by one
of the performers which had not been
promised in the bills. An elephant who
had been employed in conveying Blue
Beard over the mountains, and had be-
haved with great propriety and strict adj
herence to the part assigned him, was
brought into the circle to perform certain
feats of dexterity and sagacity, with which
all the audience were much delighted.
The animal, however, had contracted the
bad habit too common among comick
actors, who say more than is set down
for Them" and sometimes interlard with
their own bufooneries, even the sacred
scenes of Shakespeare. After the exam
ple of these worthless, the elephant UNDER
took to interpolate joke of his own. All
at once, in the midst of his tricks, he
made towards the audience, and with a
spring, throwing his fore legs over the
railing, planted them in the pit. The
audience did not wait for the rest of the
animal, but made with all haste for the
doors, and as it was crowded night; a
curious scene of confusion ensued among
them, recoiling upon each other, and

THE ouTLANplsH HuNTsMAN.

A gentleman who not long ago, dWelt
in a remote part of Dumbartonshire, in
addition to pony and couple of beauti-
full grey hounds, entertained monkey,
that had been sent to him by military
officer from Gibraltar. Pug had formed
a particular friendship with the two dogs,
and it was no unfrequent sight to behold
him seated on the back of one of them
cantering across the lawn in front of his
masters dwelling, and aping all the airs
of frst-rate sportsman. Mr.--hav-
ing risen early one morning, mounted his
shelly, and, taking along with him the
two haraiers, had scarcely emerged from
the shrubbery that surrounded the ancient
mansion, when pug, contrary to his wish,
unexpectedly appeared, and was permit
ted, after gentle reprimand, to take his
usual seat on the back of one of his fa-
vourites. After proceeding through sew
eral fields, and afTording, by their conjoin-.
ed drollery, abundance Of mirth to their
worthy master, a hare suddenly started
up, few ridges from the nose of the
unencumbered grey hound, and scudded
along with all the swiftnes it was master
of; when it was instinctively pursued by
both of the dogs, pug all the while retain
ing his seat with wonderful science, as,
Mazeppa-like, he few with his gallant
steed round the side of moory hill, with
his tiny arms clasped firmly round his
neck. The gentleman soon lost sight of
them, but, putting spurs to his pony.
! followed, as nearly as he could guess the
direction they had taken. and coming up
I with ain Highlander, who was busily en-
ployed building stone dixie, he inquired
of him if he had seen any dogs pass by.
Toys, please your honour" responded
Malcolm, hur saw yer ain Mungo only
ten minutes syne, tracing hare wi hur
speed, and after. hur rode wee auld
earle, on grey galloway, It sic rate
that the muckle dell hur main sell couldna
o'rtak hur." From this decription Mr..
--had no doubt that the trio which
had occasioncd SO much wonder to the
Highlander were his own and checking
his pony, as he had lost hope of ;overtak-
ing them, he trudged quietly round to the
other side of the. hill, where (mira6ile
dicta he met the grey barrier returning
with its rider, who, upon approaching his
master, instantly dismounted, and laid the
dead hare at his feet, having carried it
beneath his arm from the spot where it
was killed by Mungo, nearly half mile
distant, Mr.. -, on lifting up the
offering, patsed pug on the head, as re-
ward for his equihuman display of reason );
and, from that day forward he was looked
upon by all the old wives and children in
tho neighbourhood as something SO near
akin to an elm or fairy, that until the
day of his death, which happened shortly
after, the urchin who ventured across the
moor of $3.50 after sunset, or before sun
rise, was allowed to be possessed of no
mall degree of courage.

the strictest attention to my observations
My own impressions, at present are. that
the embargo laws should be amended and
enforced, till some time in the Spring to
take the chances of events in Europe: in
the mean time to put the nation in state
of defence, and, as substitute for the
embargo, to call the whole energy of the
nation into action. This course will be
extremely popular to the south. IF Won
should have a leisure moment, may hope
that you will employ it in giving me your
views of this project.

A CURE For PRIDE.

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave
and the noise of thy viols: the worm is
spread under thee, the worms cover thee
Can any proud man, who for some adven-
titious difference thinks himself above the
rest of his species, read this passage of
Isaiah withoutfeeling his pride humbled atthe
prospect which it holds out to him, and
which must be realized in few years, per-
haps In few days? We should think not.
1t is only whilst we dwell on what we are.
forget what we have been, and shrink from
viewing the prospect before us, that we In
dulge in that vanity or pride which prompts
us to look with disdain on our fellow-crea-
lures, and with self-sufficient complacency
on ourselves. He who surveys the whole
field of human life with the eye of chris
tian philosopher, finds his own level and
learns what is due to his fe1low-men, to him
SELF and to his God.

For the dress she then wore had been locked up in

She turned to the throng, as she tripped it along
And she hoped that the merchants would swing tor
