Influence Of Tic Bottle.-For the first limo
an our lives we we're recently convinced If
the 9thtty Of the rum bottle. In passing by
corniieid near the residence OF the Shakers.
III Enfield, \. H. we saw large numbers of
rum bottles, like SO many murderers, suspen-
ded with strings about their necks The in
SeIous device had its desired effect Not a
crow dared approach within the limits OF The
domain Hfser than many who boast oil high
endoWnments, they seemed to
turn away from the sight, with instructive
dread. and to croak upon the wing, there's
aeath y, The bottle. This fact speaks vollnes
m praise Of The superior sagaclty OF the Vers
mont Crows.
Trust IN God.-The Philadelphia Inquirer
publishes the following anecdote. related by
4 friend and contemporary oil the iamented Dr.
GOODMAN:
"Some years ago, in conversation with Us.
re sad, that in u voyage to sea in his early
ile, he had seen lad, who had just begun 10
)e sailor. going QUITO some projecting part
If the rigging. His arms were supported by
spar, and he was looking below him for
ope which ran across, on which his feet
boud he. The rope flew from side to side,
md 1t was evident the poor fellow was be.
oming dizzy, and in danger of falling, when
he mate shouted to him with all his force
Look AJ.oFTi you sneaking lubber!" BY
hus turning away his eyes from the danger,
he dizziness was prevented, and he found his
ooting. And this incident, the Doctor said,
tten REQUIRED TO his mind in after life, when
rs troubles grew heavy upon him, and Ae
ardiy could find ground wherein to stand.
1t such times he heard the mates shout in
us ears, and turned his eyes .aloft to the
'rize upon which he had fastened his hopes.
Vecannot part with this beautiful Illustration
Without asking each OF our readers to apply is
o still noblcr purpose: to steady theso selves
n all the tempos;s of adversely, iy looking
owartls that life in which there is rest and
,eace evermore, and when our flesh aud
leart shah fail us, and we can find no SUP.
,ot under our feet, TO seek it by sloCking
lott, 10 Him, who is the strength of our hearts
md our portion Tor ever.
