Of Religion, Scripture History, Natural
History Of Animals, the simplest parts of
Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, the first
principles Of Arithmetic and Geometry,
and elements Of Geography.-The elder
girls are also taught to sew
While receiving instruction, the chill
dren are ranged on gallery, so that the
teacher sees them all,-most Of the les
sons are given by the help ofcards, con-
tanning well engraved picture of the
subject Of attention. The instructions
on these cards originally clothed in the
simplest language, are still farther ex-
planned by the teacher, and one principle
is to make the children so far as is possi-
BILE, understand all they Learnt have
seen children four years old who, by
their knowledge Of Geometry and natural
History, might put to blush many pupils
Of treble that age.
1t is not to be conc e ealed that the prom
inent object in Infant School instruction
is, to lead the mind Of the pupils directly
up to the Creator of All: they are taught
to lisp their prayer for His blessing; they
are taught to sing His praise; they are
taught that all the works OF nature, and
all races Of men are formed by His hand,
and that-"they are all children of one
Father. Can any one doubt the useful
ness Of School, based on such princi-
ple'
In conclusion, let me urge every one
to visit the INFANT SCHOOL and judge for

ties for this will soon be given, and it is
hoped that all will suspend their judg-

After Willet Hicks family began to
visit him, which was few weeks previ-
Gus to his death, (they being near neigh
bors at Greenwich he was much enga-
gcd in writing, which he performed with
much difficulty, bolstered up in his bed,
with something placed before him to rest
his paper on; his shoulders being stiff, so
that he could not move them; this, to-
gether with what Mary Roscoe saw,
convinced her beyond a doubt, that he
was spending his little remaining strength
to leave behind him proof of his abhor-
ence of those principles, which he had
much Of his life been endeavoring to in
culcate.
This circumstance occasioned Mary
Roscoe to be less careful to preserve, or
remember what she saw and heard; but
what became Of the manuscript, has not
been fully ascertained, butt is supposed
and believed, that it was sent to certain
printer in the city, New York; since de-
ceased, and while preparing for the press,
was purchased at considerable price,
by some of Paine's former friends and
suppressed. The first time that Mary
Roscoe saw him, she was returning from
meeting, and when nearly opposite the
house where he resided, a person who
was also passing, observed with thought
less vulgarity, that "Paine looks like the
Devil. HE was not then in sight, but
a voice from the door replied, elf he on
" looked like him it would do. o."-She
then perceived that the identical person
was at the door, who before, was hid
from them by trees, and overheard their
conversation.
During the time Of Paine's illness, Ma
ry Roscoe was unwell, and the physician
who attended him was called to her; she
psked how Paine wasi the Doctor repli-
ed Every i'll; we (meaning the physi-
cians) think we have never seen such a
suffering object; but he tells me to-day,

The following account of the last mo-
ments Of THOMAS PAINE, is from Mary
Roscoe, an inmate ofthe family ofWillet
Hicks, well known to many of our read
ers in this town g. elsewhere, as a high
ly respectable member of the Society Of
Friends. 1t will be recollected that
Paine spent the last days Of his life in
New-York, residing in that part Of the
City formerly called Greenwich, where
it appears the family ofWillet Hicks be-
came acquainted with him. The high
character for integrity and piety which
Willet Hicks, as well as his family, al
ways bore, and the plain and unostenta-
tious manner in which the annexed mar
rative is set forth, carries with it strong and
convincing evidence of its veracity.-
We are indebted to one of our most re-
spectacle friends and patrons for this
communication, from whom we under
stand it has never been printed. This
added to the undeniable testimony which
has already been published, respecting
the close of Paine's miserable life, can
not fail TO produce the most salutary i'm
pressions upon the minds Of all who pc
ruse it. We take great pleasure in lay
ing it before our readers.

We pitv the man who has religion in his
heart-no high and irresistible yearnlng after
better and holier existence; who Is contentea
with the sensua!ity aud grOssness OF earth; whose
spirit never revults at the darkness OF its prison
house, nor exuIts at the thought OF ITS lna! eman-
cipation We pity him: for he affords no EVIL.
dence of his high origin-nO manifestation OF
that intellectual prerogative which renders man
the defeated lord Of the visible creation. He
can rank no hiuher than the animal nature-the
spiritual could never >toop SO iowly. 10 seek
for b.astI, eycjtements--to minister with boun
hfuI hand to depraved and strong appetites-dre
attributes Of the ANIMAL alone. To limit our
hopes and aspirations to this world. Is like re-
naming forever in the place Ut our birth, without
ever lifting the veil of the visible horizon, which
bent over our Infancy
There il religion in every thing around US;
calm and holy religion in the unbreathlng things
of nature, which man would do well to initiate.
Ii is a meek and blessed influence, stealing IN,
as it were, unawares upon the heart. Ii comes
quietly and without excitement. 1t has no ter
ror--nO gloom in its approaches. IL does NOT
rouse the passions. II is unrammelied oy the
creeds. and unshadowed by the supers'ltions of
men. 1t is fresh from the hands OF ITS author;
and glowing from the immediate presence OF the
Great Spirit, which pervades aud quickens. Ii
is written on the arched sky. II looks out from
every star. 1t is on the sailing cloud and ~ the IN.
visible wind 1t is among the hills and valleys
Of the earth-where The shrubless mountain tops
pierce the thin atmosphere of eternal winter, or
where the mighty forest huctuates Before the

is spread out like esible language upon the
broad face of the unsIeeping ocean. 1t is the pc
etry Of nature. tits this which up!itts the spI-
rit within us, untiLit is tall enough to overlook

not probable he could procure at that place. He
then demanded some cherry, which was handed
him, and subsequently for six or eight other
kinds of liquor, which afterwards he said he
would take none of. He used much abusive
language. and was told BY Q. that he had better
