A good mans piety and virtue are not
distinct possessions; they are himself, and
all the glory and virtue which belongs
to them belongs to himself. What is re-
lgion? Not foreign inhabltant, not
something alien to our nature, which
comes and takes up its abode in the soul:
II is the soul itself, lifting itself up to its
Maker. What is virtue 1t is the soul
listening to, and reverng and obeying II
law which belongs to its very essence,
the law of duty. We sometimes smile
when we hear men decrying human ma
turc, and in the same breath cXalting re-
ligion to the skies, as ifrelg'on were any
thing more than human nature acting IN
obedience to its chicflaw. Claiming.

EcoNoMy. Without it, no one, let his
income be what it may, can hope for the
confidence of the public; and extrava-
gance is certain to be accompanied with
p6vert, and its yotary almost invariably
ends his life in want and wrctchedness.
BY recommending economy, however,
we would not be thought to recommend
niggardliness, which is rice as opposite
to economy, as is the most wasteiul ex-
travagance. The man who, wrapped up
entirely in selishncss, refuses his aid to
every thing of public benefit, who boards
his i'll gotten gains in his own Golfers, and
whose only pleasure is to extort from the
hand of poverty the last penny, is not an
economical man, he is an oPpressor ani
nggard. ~ III. Spectator.

REFLECTION AT SUNSET.
I saw the radiant God of day,
Descending in the glowing west;
I mark d his last expiring ray,
As low he sank, TO seeming rest.
And though he had his chariot driven,
Beyond the hills to oceans bed
A glow divine illumn'd heaven,
And DER the scene lustre shed.
So when the Christians race is run,
Though low he slumbers meath the ground;
His virtues like the setting sun,
A heavenly radiance shed around. L. i. w.

The eve would hnve been figcinatei

The eve would hnve been fascinated with the heanty e! the scene, which the pen so ieebly describes, had not tlic heart trembled at the possible result to
 the surrounding houses.
 It may be remembered that there was
 ah alarm of fire in the roofof the s..ate
 House last winter, when the Legislature
 Was in seslon, which was speedily extin- gdisiied by the exertions of two or three active individuals. To prevent sini- lar danger, resolution was passed bv the Legislature to cover the roof with zinc. This was nearly completed. but has accidentally proved the destruction of one Of the haiidsoirest edifices in the Cnited States.
 This morning, about seven o'clock, an alarm was given that the State House was on fire. This appalling report prov ed fatally true, and in short time was beyond human control. It is supposed to have originated from the carelessness ol the persons employed to solder the zlnc, they having by some accident, not yet ascertained, set fire to the roof. which spread so rapidly, that it was im- possible to extifIguish it.
 To the shingles having been rcmov- ed to put on the zinc, we probably owe the safety of the city, especially the northeastern part of it, which included the Episcopal Church, State Bank. Ea- gle Hotel, and many valuable private dwellings.
 The beautiful grove of which this fine was the central ornament. stands unscathed, and il is probable that the luxuriant foliage of the trees check ed the evil from spreading to the sur rounding buildings. The offices of the departments, (which gre in detached bulldlngs,) and the ofiic,al archives. are alsosayed; and l have the happiness to add, that neither life, limb, nor proper y, of any of ourseitizens, is injured.-1 By the cxertion of two individuals. the fne painting of General WASHINGTON was also saved.

This charge is really too absurd and ridiculous to merit even notice.-- We are truly sorry to find we have tc con- send with such low and groyeliing oppo nents, US the fabricators of this story.
