mel for the introduction of great change
IN this particular respect, than in any other
OF the surrounding states. | may add to
this general assertion, fact which came
under my own personal observation, and
which tends to shew what might be done
IN Persia by judicious men and iudicious
measures. The Rev. Henry Martyr, whose
name must be familiar to most of you, and
whose character stands high wherever his
name is known, was in Persia just previous
to the period of my passing through that
country: and at Shiras met with several
mollahs or teachers of the Mahometan faith,
from whom learnt that Mr.. Martyrs life
and conversation had produced the most
surprising effect in softening the usual hos
tility between Mahometans and Christians !;
that the most learned Muftis had conversed
freely with him, on points of faith and doc
trlne, and that they had come to the con-
clusion, that there were not such insupera-
BILE barriers between them, as they had at
first conceived. Such step as this is most
important, because, from the moment those
who are in error can be brought to listen
patiently to the truth, hopes may be enter
tanned of its final triumph ; for, as Milton
has beautifully observed, "though all the
winds of doctrine were let loose upon The
earth, so truth be among them, we need not
fear. Let her and falsehood grapple who
ever knew her to be put to the worst in
free and open encounter"
From Persia I proceeded to India, and
there I remained as resident for several
years. 1t might be expected, that in a coun-
try so long under our dominion as that had
been, the same backwardness with respect
to the spread of truth and sound religion
would not have been observed but regret
to say, that while in India the reign of su-
persttion is more widely spread, and more
terrible in its degrading effects, than III
any of the countries have yet mentioned,
the obstacles thrown in the way of those
who are impatient to substitute better or
der of things, are quite as great as in either
of them.

THE DIFFERENCE. A writer in the Jour
nal of Humanity, in commenting upon toast
given at the recent dinner at the fremont
House, asks, "what is the difference be-
tween a drunken gentleman Keeling home
from fremont House, and drunken lGborer,
Keeling home from any bar room in the dark
est alley in the city % This is the toast re-
ferred to: "The convivial controversy,
where we strive to spin ii out until we are
ready TO reel 1t home" A man, be he NOM
inally gentleman or boor, who thus pub
licly glories in drunkenness, answers very
well to the description of rum barrel a:
given by Mr.. Hewitt" monster with two
heads and no brains" except that the hui
man monster has but one head.

GRUMBLING. There is a pleasure in
grumbling, which none but grumblers know.
Cats, dogs, pigs, and other animals eat their
meals with good appetite, and go to sleep.
They are not rational beings. They have
not discourse of reason, looking before and
after. They have their troubles; but they
are all ready made troubles: they never
take the trouble to make troubles for them
selves. We call them poor dumb creatures,
and we place a most pathetic and grlevous
emphasis on the word dumb. suppose we
pity them that they cannot enjoy the luxury
of grumbling. That there is an absolute
and positive pleasure in grumbling, is obvi-
Gus from this fact, viz, the reluctance with
which men are convinced that they have no
cause to complain. Fierce is the wrath OF
equity patient, on whose toe some awkward
BOBBY has tEampled, and great the anger OF
plundered miser; but, keener far, the in
dignation is of him, whom cold philosophy
would rob of the pleasure of grumblng.
Tell a grumbler that he has no real ground
to complain, and he will be angry, and per-
haps treat your information with sheer Of
sceptical contempt; but prope to him by ir-
refragable arguments. that his grumbling is
unfounded, and he will hate you most cor
daily. Is there not then pleasure in grum'
| bling

"MIND YOUR BUSINESS.n

There" said my grandfather, care
three words worth more than a volume OF
such trash as young people read now a
days. L assure you, Dunson, that they have
been of more service to me than all your
philosophy, chemistry, rhetoric, or star gaz-
ing notions could have been. You NAV
wonder if you please, but what tell you is
true, and much more (; for | tell you, if
had never seen nor heard of them, you new
er would have known philosophy from rhet-
ORIG, or how to fill bladders with air that
would burn brighter than rush light.
Should you like to know hoao it was of
so much service to me Listen and | will
tell you. When l was thirteen years old,
my father sent me to one of his brothers to
learn the blacksmith's trade. | worked
with him about week steadily, but not
liking to be burned by the cinders, or have
my natural white face and hands made
black by coal, took French leave of my
master. l travelled as far as I we'll could
for two days and nights, fearing 1 should
be followed, and when within ten miles of
Boston, at which place intended to engage
on board some vessel as a cabin boy, stop
ped to gather nuts to eat | found among the
fallen leaves an old copper of the stamp first
issued by the United States mint. l was
quite pleased with my treasure, and, rub
bling off the dirt, discovered these words
MIND YOUR BUSINESS" | took the ad-
vice, so kindly given, with thankful heart,
and wheeling about, commenced my march
for the blacksmith's dwelling at quick time.
attended strictly to my business until |
become of age, when intended, according
to custom, to give a freedom treat to my
friends. In pursuance of my design, jour
neyed to grocery to procure few articles
for repast. The things ordered were put
up, and took out my purse to pay for them.
AS the change slid out, the copper before
mentioned seemed to struggle to keep top,
and attract my notice. It's efforts were not
in vain. / ordered the clerk to put the ar
ticles into their respective boxes from which
they were taken, and pour the fourth
proof" into the hogshead. AS soon as
saw it done, l turned upon my heels, and
set off for village close by, where was
blacksmith's shop to be sold at auction that
''One hundred and fifty dollars-have
you all done ?" burst from the brazen lungs
of the auctioneer, just as | arrived within
hearing distance. zone hundred and fifty

day to this have minded my business, and

TEN YEARS. "We are astonished when
we contemplate the changes which have
been effected in the course of ten years
How rapidly the sweeping tide of time rolls
on! The morning of life passes off like a
dream, and we look round in vain for the
companions of our youthful days. Where
are the gay, the beautiful, the happy, with
whom we once sported in the sprightliness
of youth and buoyancy of enjoyment? They
were here; we knew them; we loved them =;
we sailed with them down tines sunny
stream with pleasures fragile bark; but
where are they now? Alas! they have
gone before us; the whirlwind of death
drove them rapidly onward, and they are
now sailing on eternity's wide, sholeless
sea! The scenes of our childhood, too,
fade away, and soon, not a vestige of them
is left as a token that they have existed
Times stupendous wheel is ever rolling on.
Ten years more, and where will we be
Our present friends, our present companions,
will they still be here? No, that is improb-
able. The grave, perhaps, will have swal-
lowed them; or they may be scattered far
away; strangers, and in a strange land
Ten years, and the aspect of things to many,
very many, will be changed. The pale
emaciated miser, that now bends DER his
heaps of useless gold, 1.-THE wrecks of ruined
families, and the last remains of forlorr
wretchedness,) where will he be! He and
the beggar whom he drives from his door
will have gone to their long homes his
wealth will have passed into other hands
Ten years, and the student that is now por'
ing over volumes and seeking with sucf
avidity for knowledge, will have acquired
and perhaps have forgotten it. The lovely
maiden, whose mind and person are jus
matured; she is beautiful, she is happy
pleasure beams in her countenance, and Joy
sparkles in her eye; with light foot anC
lighter heart, she steps upon life's slippery
stage but alas ten years, and this lovely
being will indeed be changed; the bright
fascinating smile, no longer plays upon he
cheek; her laughing eye speaks deepe
misery now than ever it did of pleasure
Ten years, and what is now beautiful will
have decayed, will have faded like thu
morning flower Ten years, and many tina
sport in the sunshine Of prosperity, will b'
|, wrapped in misfortune's gloomiest shade
Ten years, and the man of business will
have settled "his final account" the foo
: will have grown wise, and the wise viii
have discovered his ignorance. The Athe
ist will have found out his mistake, and thu
Christian will have realized his hopes"
Addison has said, " a man that goes on
a fool cannot ride or sail himself into com
mon sense; now as, according to the tcstl
mony of Solomon, this class is infinite il
number, the statesmen, scientific officers
scholars, and others, who roam to enlarge
their views and polish their understandings

mass than bucket of water does to the
boundless ocean. 81 have made the tour o

HUMAN MORTALITY. tits generally sup
posed that this earth is inhabited by one
thousand millions of men, or Whereabouts,
and that thirty three years make genera
ton; and, therefore, that in thirty three
years, there die one thousand millions
Thus the number of those who die on earth
amounts to
The Massachusetts spy, and Worcester County advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1825-1831, 1829-11-25

Each second, one.
This calculation must necessarily strike
us if the mortality be so great every year,
and every hour, is it not probable that he
who reflects on it, may himself be one Of
those soon to swell the list of the dead ? II
is at least certain, that it ought to lead us
to think seriously and often on this subject
Now, at this moment, one of our fellow
creatures is going out of the world, and be-
fore another hour is past, more than three
thousand souls will have entered into an
eternal state.
