Why and Because.-The following ex- tracts are from small book entitled " Knowledge for the People-or the plain Why and Because"
 Why does a silver or metal tea pot, when filled second time, produce worse tea than the earthenware vessels2
 Because tho heat retained by the silver or metal vessel so far exhausts the herb, when the water is first poured in, as to leave very little substance for second in- fusion whereas the reduced temperature of the water in the earthen pot, by extract- ing only small portion at first, leaves some soluble matter for a second infusion.
 Why is it advisable to pour boiling wa ter into the tea pot before she tea is made 2
 Because the vessel, being previously warm, may abstract less heat from the mix lure, and thus admit more powerful ac- ton.
 Why it is recommended to add only a small quantity of boiling water at frst2 Because only the water immediately in

BAD COMPANY.

The danger of keeping bad compa
ny arises principally from our aptnes
to initiate and catch the manners ant
sentiments of others ; in our earlies
youth the contagion of manner is Oh
servable; in the boy yet incapable o
having any learning instilled into him
we easily discover from his first &C.
tons, and rude attempts at language
the kind of persons with whom he has
associated we see The early spring O
education, or the first wild shoots o.
rusticity; as'he enters farther into life,
his behaviour and conversation take
their cast from the company he keeps;
observe the peasant and the man Of
education /; the difference is striking ;
yet God has bestowed equal talents up.
on each the difference is that they
have been placed in different scenes Of
life, and have intercourse with persons
Of different stations.
Manners and behaviour, are not
more easily caught, than opinions and
principle 10 childhood, and in youth,
we naturally adopt the sentiments OF
those about US; as we advance in life,
how few Of US think of ourselves how
many of US are satisfied with taking
our opinions at second hand
The great power of custom forms
another argument against keeping bad
company however shocked we may
be at the approach of vice, the shock
log appearance vanishes upon an in
timacy Herewith |; custom renders the
most disgusting objects familiar to our
view indeed, this is kind provision
Of nature, to render labor and danger,
which are the lot of man, more easy to
him; the raw soldier, who trembles
at the first encounter, becomes fearless
in few campaigns. Habit renders
dangers familiar.
But habit which is intended for our
good, may, like other kind appoint
ments Of nature, be converted into mis-.
chief; the well disposed youth, enter
log frs, into bad company, is shocked
at what he sees, and what he hears /;
the principles which he had imbibed
ring in his ears an alarming lesson a.
gainst tho wickedness of his compan>
ioos but alas this sensibIity is of
short continuance the next jovial
meeting makes the horrid picture Of
yesterday more easily endured, virtue
is soon thoughta severe rule, and re.
straint inconvenient. A few pangs Of
conscience now and then whisper to
him that be once had better thoughts !;
but even these by degrees die away,
and he who at first was shocked at the
of vice, is formed by Gus.
tom into prodigate leader Of vicious
pleasures. So carefully should we op-
pose the first approaches Of sin so
should we guard against so
insiduous an enemy Shepherd ofthe

from the fact that her constitution was
such as would mol easily yield to ply

actual pain and exposure. Her s,rug-
giles to free herself were evidently very
violent. -

"The influence of the Chesapeake
