A little girl who had been absent some
time from school, was asked by her school
mistress, why she staid away-the little
liar answered "that grandmama fell into
the fire and burned the skin Off of her
hands SO that she could not use 'em, and
she kept me to home all the time, to poke
yaliow snuff up her nose. --[Pawtucket

PArENTs.--The present age with great
propriety, may be called the age Of in
ventions, and the American nation, ma
ton Of inventors. The prolific brain of
our people, may fairly set at defiance
the inventive power of the whole world.
In regard to the number of our new in
ventions, we stand far beyond all compe-
tition. In November last, no less than
sixty-seven patents were issued from the
Office at Washington, and this number
we are assured, is not greater than the
number usually issued every month";
Among the latest patents are the follow
ng:-"For preparing blood for refining
sugar." "for cooking and house-warni-
ing apparatus;" for a machine for cut
ting vegetables for fodder;" "for ma
chine for exterminating bed bugs by
steam;" "for machinery for making win
dow SASH" "for an improvement in the
mode Of producing artificial light" "for
straps for pantoloons," &c. sc.

From the Metropolitan.
MY LIFE IS LIKE THE SUMMER
ROSE.

NV life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky,
Bot ere the shades Of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die.
But on that rose e's humble bed,
The sweetest dews Of night are shed,
As If she wept such waste to see.
But none shall weep tear for me.
NY life is like the autumn leaf,
That -t#embles in the moons pale ray,
Its hold il frail--its date il brief,
Restless and soon to pass away.
Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leahess tree,
But mono shall breathe sigh for me.
My life is IKE the print whose feet
Have leh on Tempe's. desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand,
Yet as f grieving to eflace,
All vestige Of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea,
hut none shall e'er lament for me.

DEIsM, versus CHRISTIANITY.

A reclaimed intidel assigned the fol-
lowing reasons for renouncing Deism,
and embracing Christianity;
1. never knew any man, woman, or
child, that was reformed by embracing
the principles Of Deism.
9. have known industrious and sober
men, who, by imbibing the principles Of
Deism, almost instantly become desper-
ately wicked, and in many instances,
dangerous members Of society.
8. l do not recollect ever hearing but
one Deist profess really to believe in a
future state of rewards and punishments
4. cannot, in all the Deistical wri-
tings, find any law to prevent wicked
ness, or encourage virtue, with rewards
and punishments annexed thereto.
5. have known some Deists, and
heard Of many, who at the apparent point
Of death, were seized with the most hor-
rible despair, uttering the bitterest re-
Sections against themselves, for their to-
tai neglect of what is commanded and
enjoined in the Gospel.
have known hundreds, and heard OF
thousands, who have been reformed by
embracing Christianity.
have known some Deists, and scof-
fers at religion, speedily and eflectually
turned from the most abandoned practi-
ces, by the preaching Of the Gospel, to a
life Of righteousness.
l never met with man, who profess
sed to be real Christian, but what built
his principal hope upon the reality Of a
future state.
In scripture, all crimes possible are
forbidden, under the severest penalties;
and every possible virtue inculcated,-
with promise of eternal rewards.
never knew a christian at the hour
Of death, despairing ofthe mercy Of God,
because he had rejected Deism, and
stunned its professors; nor wishing he
had never been born, for not rejecting
the Bible London Paper.
