much or long in the habit Of conversing
with God, can either be ashamed or afraid
to pray in the presence of mon for sure
ly he that is wont to converse with the
King, will never want language nor feel
embarrassed when he speaks in the pres
ence Of the kings servants.
Some no doubt will urge their own en-
pcrience against this last paragraph, and
will feel that it is incorrect as respects
themselves. But before their experience
can be regarded as of any weight against
a position so plain in terms and so pIauSi-
BILE in fact, two things must be considered:
First, whether they have been only occa-
sionally or habitually --whether at long or
short intervals, accustomed to address their
Heavenly Father in secret. And in the
next place, whether fuency of speech be-
long to them in any instance on any sub
ject. If fuency of speech belong not to
them on other subjects, we do not suppose
that habitual secret prayer will give them
fuency of speech, or an appropriateness
of terms, which they do not possess, and
cannot acquire on other subjects.
Without transcending the bounds of that
Lee that hopes all things, we might say that
a good number of our public prayers seem
to be rather prepared for the ears of men
than for the ears of God. There is so
much of the studied and set phrase of or
binary and artificial composition in our ad-
dresses to the throne of the universe, that
there is more apparent concern in the
speaker to please the ears Of his auditors,
than to worship and adore the Majesty Of
the universe. He seems more DESTROYS of
securing the praise of men for his attain
ments, than the appreciation of the Deity
for his sincerity and spirituality. These
remarks are not offered with any desire,
or with the least intention, to promote or
cherish spirit of criticism on the perform
ances of others but to put every one on
his guard against temptations to depart
from all that is valuable in prayer---from
all that is sacred in devotion---and from
all that is pleasing to God, whose appro-
baton is more to be desired than the smiles
Of all the universe besides. But | must
approach still nearer the subject l have in
view, and make some remarks on the mat
ter and manner of our prayers.
Whether it has been from the manuals
of the church of Rome, from tie common
prayer book of the church Of England, or
from the directions for prayer in the West
minister Confession, will not now deign
to inquire but so il is, there appears as
great detection from scriptural usage---
as great departure from right reason in
this part of the sacred worship, as in any
other Of the wise and gracious institutions
of Heaven.

Last &the Bruin FGmily.-We were
told OF ar\adventure, few days since,
though rerhhNS last, not the leas, Of pcri-
lous advoRtuFeS>among the Bears on Tue
mountains this seaShn. A man in Stam-
ford, CHANGING to be ~ the woods with his
rife, espied Cub herched among the
branches of tree, Quietly masticating
chesnuts-not disposed to let the little
black fellow enjoy the repast undisturhed.
he discharged his rifle, and brought down
part of one Of his paws, while young bruin
still retained his seat OH the branches alof.
The man not suspecting any reinforcement
near. was about to charge his piece again,
when he discovered huge OLD bear max
ing at him with all convenient speed, and
a savage look that bespoke ,sUenge the
time had now come for him II act on the
defensive, and the rifle beingunloaded, he
sought safety by exertng the muscles Of
his trotters, but as old bruins speed was
discovered to be the greatest, the man fed
to the tree on which the cub was lodged,
and Immediately assembled it, the old bear
following suit close upon his heels what
his reflections were, when he saw an antag-
onist, at each extremity, we forbear to CON-
lecture, but certain it is,he acted discreetly;
he seized the cub by the legs, and hurled
him from the tree: when the old one dis
covered he was down, with the solicitude
and instinct which human parents do not
always possess, forsook his prey, descend
ed the tree, and seizing the disabled little
ore, bore him Off triumph to the neigh
boring forest. Whether the man still con-
tinues on the tree, we arc unable to decide,
but there are certain reasons for believing,
that the velocity with which he travelled in
one direction, was equal to the ratio Of the
speed with which Bruin journeyed in the
other.-Bcrkskire American.

Mr.. VANDERLYN.-A few DAYS since q
proposition was made by this artist for the
establishment ola grand institution at New
York, the general Influence OF which, it was
stated, would probably be exceedingly ben
efcial to the growth Of the fine arts in this
country. There is an anecdote told of
Mr.. V. which may not be undressing to
those who have seen that rich and beau
tiful picture Of" Ariadne deserted by The
seuS," or his noble full length of Marus
surrounded by the ruins Of Carthage.
When Aaron Burr was at the height of
his power, and wearing the lonors of the
republic, in iorneying through the inter-
or of New York, he was stru,k, one day a;
a tavern, with the singular spirit apparent
in the execution of lttlcpen aud ink
drawing that hung over the fire place in the
bar room. Upon inquiry he ascertained
that it was the production of,he landlords
son, all apprentice to neighbdring black
smith. Col. Burr expressed some curios-
ity to sec the lad, who was accordingly
sent for. His conversation and appear
ance gave evidence Of innac genius, and
the expediency of sending him to the city,

ofeducation was suggested. 70 this, how
ever, the father demurred, suspecting from
the interest which the traveller had express
sed in his child's welfare that he was real
ly more valuable member of his family
than he had ever yet been esteemed.
Just before leaving the house, Col. Burr
said to the the youth, in low voice as he
passed him, "put shirt in your pocket
come to New York, and inquire for Aaron
Burr; he will take care of you," and immc-
diately mounted his horse. Several months
went by, the circumstances we have related
had passed from the mind of Col. Burr,
when one morning raw country boy was
ushered into the breakfast room, who in
stantly pulled a nicely rolled up package
from his pocket and laid it upon the table.
Col. Burr opened it, and was surprised to
find that it contained nothing more than
coarse cotton shirt, which he was then re-
minded, he had desired should be brought
to him at the metropolis from such viii
lage. The bearer was young Vanderlyn;
and from that day his better fortune COM
menced under the patronage of the then
Vice President of the United States; he
was sent to Italy, where he completed his
studies, and prepared himself for those
greater labors which have since given him
a place in the first rank of our native art

From an English paper.

Singular application Of Galuinism 1T hap
pens too often, in that excruciating affection.
the toothe- ache, that the dentist. not being
able from any external marks to distinguish
the diseased tooth from the sound ones which
adjOin it, is obliged to begin pulling away at
random; SO that to get rid of one that is de-
cayed, the unfortunate patient must run the
hazard of losing two or three which might
have served out their century. For long
time there was no known check against this
Numbering sort of work but very recently.
the extraordinary discoveries which have
been made in galviDism, have developed q
test for the detection of bad teeth, or rather
the preservation of good ones, Of infallib!e
certainty in its application. The method is
thus described by professor Aldini: He (the
dentst) first insuiates the patient, and places
ia his hands an electric chain he then applies
"A small piece of wire to the wisdom tooth.
and draws it gradually over its surface; he
then applies it to the next tooth in the same
manner, and proceeds in the like method
with the rest, until he comes to the diseased
tooth, which is discovered by violent pain be-
ing produced, and an involuntary cOEDmotion
in the body. II has always been remarked
when the tooth IS extracted. that it exhibited
a cariOus part, which. in its proper situation.
was not visible" Need we add, that no per-
son ought to submit himself or his children
to the fOrceps of "A dentist, without seeing
that he makes use of this most necessary pre-
caution
