JonatAan's" Watch Trade. smart

"JonatAan's' Watch Zrade.---A smart young chap who lives " away down cast" gives the following account of his first venture" after arriving in Boston.
 Nothing happened worth mentioning on the road, nor till next morning after got here and put up in Elm street. then got off my watch pretty curiously, as you shall be informed. I was down in the bar room and thought it we'll enough to look pretty considerable smart, and now and then compared my watch with the clock in tho bar, and found it was as near right as everit was---when a fellow stept up to me and asked how I'd trade :? and says I, for what and says he, for your watcll---and says any way that will be fair shake--- upon that says he I'll give you nsy watch and five dollars. Says l 'tis done ! He gave me five dollars, and gave him my watch. Now says I give me your watch, and says he with loud laugh ha'n't got none---and that kind of turned the laugh on me. Thinks let them laugh that loo- ses. Soon as the laugh was well over the fellow thought he'd try the watch to his ear.--why says he it don't go---no says l not without it's carried---then began to laugh---he tried to open it and couldn't start a hair, and broke his thumb nail into the bargain--.won't she open says he not's know on, says I, then the laugh seemed to take another turE. Don't you think I got off old Britannia pretty we'll considering'l
 Union of Church and State. .---t would please us much five could see in6dels en- gagged in circulating the Bible {" without note or c0mmeDt.'' If we could see Uni- versalists zealously affected in the same good cause if the Hicksites would follow the same laudable course and if the fol- lowers of Campbell, leaving the wrath and bitterness of their leader behind them, would engage with ardor in the same glo- rious cause. But alas, alas, these men had rather declaim in bar-rooms, and grog shops,- about the "union of church and statc,'" Sabbath mails" Missionary O pe- ratons, Sabbath-schools, Bible and Tract Societies, than to lift finger to remove the burdens imposed upon men, by ignor- ance and their own vicious conduct. In- temperance may roll it's river of fire through the land---cast down the mighty---l beggar families---dry up the sources of wealth. and pour whitening curse over all the works of God---and cause lamentation and woe to go up like the " sound of many waters. without exciting the tender mer- cies of those gentlemen, who feel SO kind. ly for the poor widow, who has ioyfullv given her mite to send the light of fife to others, still poorer, and more destitute of religious blessing than herself.- Ckr;stion
