A SHORT SERMON.

From the desk Of Grey Dominic the Deacon.
"And the children Of Israel made themselves a
Golden Calf; and they worshpped it."
NV dear readers, ann of opinion that
the disposition to worship golden calves has
not been confined to the ancient children
of Israel. five permit ourselves to take
candid view Of the subject. and look a
broad into the world, we shall see people
bowipg down to golden calves in almost
every neighborhood. Some, indeed, be-
stow their homage openly, publicly, and
boldly others again worship their idol in
secret, but not less devotedly. Perhaps
some of our readers, more inquisitive than
others, will demand of me, where is the
golden calf and where are its worshippers
To such I would say, look at yon purse
proud man, who carries his head so high
and lofty, and who spurneth the poor as il
they were grasshoppers beneath his feet
and behold the crowd Of sycophants and
fiatterers who wait upon his steps Are not
these worshipping the golden calf
When we see individuals intent on
schemes of wealth, sacrificing honesty and
principle for money; expressing the wild
ow, robbing the orphan, grinding down the
face of the poor, all for the purpose of adj
ding another dollar to their boarded stores,
may we not say, these are sCOrshipping the
golden calf. ..seg ..
Look again at yonder Journalist so staid
and sanctified in demeanor--so attentive to
all the precepts of morality ); although a
professor of the religion of mercy, yet his
hand never openeth to the applications of
the needy-his heart never softened at the
cries of distress. Think We not, in secret,
he boscs dozen to the golden calf?
And among my female readers, are
there no worshippers of the golden calf :!
Do not they who covet splendid equipages,
costly attire, and magnificent establish
ments, bow down, in their hearts. to the
golden image?
And is there one among you all, who in
forming the most sacred connexion in life,
has had more regard to wealth than the
adornments of the mind, or the charms of
virtue-who has preferred riches to wis
dom, wit, learning, or beauty surely such
an one is an open worshipper of the gold
en- calf.
Finally, my readers, would remark
that this kind of idolatry is peculiarly Sc
ductive, and its influence steals upon the
heart when least suspected. Many indeed
there are, who enter the temple Of the
Most High, and bow down in his sanctua-
ry but their aspirations reach no higher
than the golden candlesticks on tho altar.

for. Look at the bite he took out OF the
side of nv leather breeches yesterday
Here Atty turned sideways to show. the
place from whence the piece of leather
had been extracted by the pig, the want of
which had been supplied by an old piece
of black CLOTH There's bite for you !:
I'm sure he must have had tusks like ra-
ziours, as the same leather breeches were
worn by my old father fifteen years ago.
Magistrate This is certainly bad usage.
,Auy.-Bad to be hunted to Jericho by
furious wild animal like that pig. AS for
herself she came into my place on Shroye-
Tuesday night, half tipsey, after my moth
CIR had made bowl Of batter for the pan
cakes, danced a one hundred reel in the
middle of the floor, swore that it was her
birth day, as she was born OIL the batter,
threw the bowl of material in my face, and
danced off again.
Magistrate.-We'Il give you summons
and that may bring her to her senses.
Atty.-But the pig
Magistrate.-Haye him pounded for
trespassing on your ground.
Any.-Thank your worship.
He then got the summons.
Several days passed, and nothing more
was heard of Atty, the widow, or the
pig; when on Wednesday last, he passed
again into the Office, and saluted the Ma
gistrate.
Well, Atty, where is the widow?
Faith, said Atty, the day was so cold
didn't like to let her venture out.
Enthusiastically you we're complain
ing of her here the other day.
Atty.-But, your worship, politics have
changed since.
Magistrate.--Your pelitics?
Atty.-O, no the affairs ofthe nation:
she is as good as / am now, now that the
Duke has emancipated them, she only can't
be Chancellor, and l can.
Magistrate.-Ob, perceive you have
made up the matter.
Atty.-Why, to be sure, without joking,
your worship. began to think it pity
to throw away such match on account of
a pig, so I made an apology & forgave her.
Magistrates the children e.
(Laughter.)
Atty Grinning.) Oh, when they
come IL Will pc nign tine 10 DotneE o"l"
selves about them.
Magistrate.-And the pig
'Atty.-Not word about the pig, I'll
soon settle him: if don't send your wor-
ship one half of his countenance and a
cherry colored ham, it's no matter.
Magistrate.-I beg you'll not do any
such thing.
Auy.-By dad / will the ham and
cheek you must have, as ! know you'll
want a relish badly on Easter Sunday.
The Magistrate declaring he was much
obliged, would not accept the proffered
gift. Atty, however, left the Office, swear
ing that he would send both to him nicely
done up in hay, particularly the cheek as
he wished him to see the description of
grinders which had taken the enormous
bite out of his leather inexpressibles.

A VOICE is HEARD.

A voice is heard in the winds and waves
In the sound of the ever rolling sea;
1t whispered amid the gloom OF graves;
1t speaks from the hilltop loud and free:
1t is murmuring in every breath Of air;
And it pauses not when the leaves are still;
Where the waters are falling, tprattles there,
And it whistles along the heathery hill.
Upon the brown and briery steep,
When the bramble strs with the nesting bird
Down in the green and CLASSY deep,
When the coral rustles, that voice is heard:
Far it is borne, on the summer breeze,
Ger sunny billow and fowery plain
Then it steals to the glancing trees,
And is lost in their shadowy gloom again.
Hark its wandering echoes wake
They are now in the heart of the rifted rock;
Now they lie on the sumbering lake,
Now are at play with the bounding flock:
Not whitening leaf by the wind is stirred,
Not a murmur moves through the bending corn,
But far that summoning voice is heard,
Like the loud clear note Of the winding horn.
o! tits voice that comes from Heaven,
Borne, like spirit, in light along
Now like the rush Of tempest driven
Murmuring now in the charm of song:
Hear ye the voice ?-then come away,
Far from the haunts Of ruder men
Come where the leaves and fountains play
You may love and be happy then. PERclvAL.

WHAT is HOPE!

What is hope? The charm that quells
The SUI ging waves of time,
That watts lies barb with gentler gales,
On TO its destined cline.
What is hope +? The beacon light
That guides to every prize;
Anon it bIazcs, clear and bright,
And now, alas it dies.
What is hope A seraph-voice
That whispers in the ear,
Haste on, haste on, some purer Joy'
Some happiness is near.
What is hope? A cheering gleam'
A day-star from on high,
That marks the way DER deaths dark stream,
Where happier regions lie. VILLlcUs

MISCELLANEOUS.
CHARACTERIZATION COURTsHIP.

Un0ef tnlS n0du, an ArlSn paper gives
the following Police Report. Whether it
be true story, or superstructure of fun
resting on little fact, we cannot of course
say-but it is worth reading by those who
favour this recently created branch of liter
allure.
Is this the police Office? said stout,
well dressed countryman, peeping into the
Board-room of College street on Thursday
week.
1t is! said the Magistrate. Can I do
any thing for you?
though I'm almost ashamed to ask you, but
want summons for the Widow Fegan
and if I could get another for the pig, it
would give me great consolation, as he is
actually greater haste than she is.
Who are you!
Atty Cox, your worship, thirty
years last Michaelmas. five feet ten high,
and made in proportion.
Very good, MIR. Cox. Now about the
widow.
All jealousy, your worship. She is a.
bout sixty years old, and warm, snug wo-
man; and as happened to take her eye,
we were Just on the pop of being married,
when remembered that we were not ofthe
same persuasions.
Magistrate What is she?
Atty.--Oh, she is wonderful Roman
Catholic. Now, I'm Protestant since
the time of Cromwell. So says to my
self, and then to her, if we have any chill
dren-
Magistrates Children why thought
you said she was sixty years old.
Atty.-O she was only fifty-nine then
Magistrate. certainly alters the
case.
Atty.-So says I, Mrs. Fegan it's all
nonsense: if we have any children, we'll
only be fighting about their religion-so
I'm of, and I'll not marry you at all. With
that she called me an i'll looking, black
mouthed shoe boy, and swore she would
never marry any hereto ofm sort, for fear
/ might murder her, as King Harry the
Eighth did his nineteen wives. I've miss
ed heavy handful to bring home to my
mother, said ! to myself So good bye,
Mrs. Fegan.
Magistrate. And she has been annoy
you since!
Atty.--Annoying why she has made
her very pig my enemy.--Sometimes she
takes him up by the hind legs, and runs
him at me like wheel barrow, until I'm
obliged to run away through the town for
my life aud the greatest diversion the
neighbors have lately, is to see Atty Cox
hunted by the woman's pig.
Magistrate.-This is very unpleasant.
Atty.-Another time she turns him into
my garden, where I'm afraid to attack him
las really he does not look like regular
pig. at all-and after he has rooted his fill,
fl try to hisk him out, he snaps at me
ike viper, and turns up his tail on his back
like corkscrew, as much as to say-that
for you and your garden. Atty Cox.
Magistrate.--Yo You don't think the pig has
any luminosity TO you because you are a
Protestant?
Atty.--Faith don't know any thing a.
bout it. / know he's fond of tasting meat
on Friday, and every other day, as the
calves of my legs can show sign and token

eCOlOr Of the Eyes.-It is remarkable
fact, and no less so as having remained so
long unnoticed, that in Britain the dark
'colered eye is always found to prevail in
the neighborhood of coal mines, and where.
coal is used as the general fuel; while, on
the other hand, the light or blue eye be-
longs to those districts in which that min
eral is not used and Notwithstanding the
number of persons continually pouring in
to the districts from other parts of the
country, in consequence of the demand
for labor, yet the prevalency in the form
er Of the dark eye, especially among the
children, is so evident, that whoever will
take the trouble to make the observation,
will most assuredly acknowledge the accu-
racy Of the statement. In what way the
sulphurated hydrogen, sc. occasioned by
the coal fire, affects the pigment of the
iris, is not now my intention to enquire
l consider it sufficient for my present pur-
pose to establish the connexion between
the use of coal and the dark color of the
eye; though from repeated observations,
feel assured, that there are more curious
facts connected with the subject than have
yet come under the notice of Psychologists :;
and which, when properly developed, will
considerably alter the bearing of many o.
pinions hitherto entertained.----Price's
