n the event Of the removal Of the fence, what.

in the event of the removal of the fence, what
ever ground might be thrown out in conse-
quence, would of course belong still to the
public, and that the Trustees would not suffer
any private claim to take it. MIR. Miller aud
myself fully acquiesced inwhat Mr.. flaming
had recommended, and accordingly the fol-
lowing Thursday was agreed upon by the whole
five Trustees for examining the ground. Mr..
Tanning was however prevented from keeping
his appointment, but subsequently told Mr..
Miller in presence of the Marshal, that he,
(Mr. FL knew how the steets would run, and
would be perfectly satisfied with whatever the
rest of the Board might decide upon.

Messrs. Fassitt, Miller, and myself were pre-
sent, as also the Clerk and Marshal. The sub
ject of the grave-ya ard came up for further con-
sideraton as matter Of course. l repeated
my proposition of marking out the streets with
stakes, saying as before. that only wanted
to discharge my duty to the public, of warn
ming them not to bury their friends upon ground
where they might, at future day, be distnr-
bed. also observed, that if the Board might
think it best to remove the fence, it beloved
US by all means, to secure for the use of the
Town. every inch Of the ground that might be
mus tnIOWU OUT, ana uOI 10 SuHeI dIy lnQl-
vidual to take it. The other members thought
that as the limits of the graveyard were now
defined under an act Of Congress, our solemn
oaths left us no alternative but to remove the
fence accordingly, or to PERIURE ourselves. 1t
was therefore resolved by the Board to remove
the fence, and Mr.. Miller was appointed to get
the work done.

PRAYER. 4 SPIRITUAL BAROME.
TER,

When we awake out of sleep our wants
begin and our desires are stirred up for
the supply ofthem. Few things mark spirit
ual lie more distinctly than the carnes. desire
of the heart after spiritual blessings. When
q Christian awakes to life then the breath
ofprayer proves that life. We may say Of
every worldly man, heknows no. real com.
munion with God in daily prayer. We
may say Of every Christian, he sraveh." :"
This is indeed the spiritual barometer of
the soul. Whatever outward storms, what
ever clouds and darkness may surround
lim, ifthc barometer ofprayer be steadily
rising, his soul is on the way TO brighter and
fairer, and happier days. My brethren,

WHAT YOU WILL SAVE

Weobserved a short time since, an &C.
count of a new society, which embraced, it
is said, all the village. The principle was
to seize every man intoxicated in the street,
and battle him plen,ifully with cold water
We would suggest az additional item, by
which we think great saving may be made.
Induce your dealers to- empty their liquor
Jugs and casks, and fill with cold water, and
when customer calls for drink, give him
a glass Of that and the saving viii be ihcon-
ceivable. You will save yourselves the
trouble of ducking the poor drunkard ;you
would save two.thirds ofwhat you now give
to feed your poor neighors {; you will save
most of the wood you will have stolen from
your wood pile this winter; you will save
two-thirds Of all which will be pilfered from
you F.; you will save a good many crimes and
assaults and batteries, the cost Of which you
will have the pleasure ofpaying hereafter in
the shape Of taxes you will save yourself
the trouble ofstting upon good many jur.
les, when you could be much more Proi.a-
bly, employed at your own business you
will save your children from many evil ex.
amples, and from the danger and temptation
ofbeng drunkards. Thus much for your
selves. For others, you will save many
worthy heartbroken wife from pangs uuut.
terable you will save many child from
shame, ignorance, and vice, and you
will save many a family of parents and chill.
dren from the want offood, of clothing, and
fuel, the approaching ipclement season !; you
will save many tears from being shedin Sc.
cret YOU will save many groans from as
cending in the ears ofthe Lord ofSabaoth; /;
you will carry consolation 10 many house
Of woe you will restore peace 10 many q
divided family in fine, you will dry up one
of the greatest fountains of misery ever op-
ened tethe sons ofmen. By bringing into
effect the above single item, you not only
induce the dealer to give up the traffic,
which, if the above be true, and who will
deny 1t? subsists only upon anguish, tears
and blood. Tryit, friends, it will cost but
little more effort, and if it does not succeed
you can easily produce the present state Of
things for in this age Of refinement it IS
lawful, and therefore hight, for the sake of a
little money, to license acknowledged M
mortality.

4 HAPPY MOTHER.

The mother of the late Rev. John New
ton who from bold blasphemer, was con.
yersed to God, and became eminent for
usefulness in the ministry, has often been
mentioned as an example to ocencourage
Christian mothers to be faithful in the
instructions of their children. The exam.
pie teachers more than has been drawn
from it. The record Of it made by New
ton himself introduces US to happy
mother; TO one who found pleasure as we'll
as duty in teaching her infant the great
truths of religion. "She made H." (says
Nevton) "the chief business and pleasure
of her life to instruct NE, and bring ne up
in the .nuture and adomnation Of the Lord.

and find their pleasure in giving such in.
structions, and they will generally be
successful. Where is the child of four
years in these days, that can repeat the
whole Of the Shorter Catechism with the
proofs? Many mothers are doing vistuous-
iy, but do they excel the mother Of New

TEMPERANCE.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

The following facts we're sent US by a
worthy and highly respectable minister of
the Methodist Episcopal church-and we
hope the alarming, truths, with the natural
and necessary inferenees, will produce
abiding convictiouin the bosom of every
reader, that it is not to license men to do such
outrageous WRONGS.

Who is most to be blamed, he who sells
the first or the last poison to the drunkard,
or are both guilty alike
A tavcrn-keeper of my acquaintance, a
professor efrsKgion, related to me, few
days since. the following circumstance -

away from their eyes," standing before the
throne of God and the Lamb, Sin white
others, and palms in their hands, crying
with loud voice, salvation to God thatsit-
teth upon the. throne, and TO the Lamb
forever and ever" What delight will it
afford to renew the sweet counsel we have
taken together to recount the tolls of com.
bat and the labor of the way, and to ap-
proach not the house-but the throne of
God in company, in order to join the SYM
pbonies Of heavenly voices and lose our
selves amidst the splcndor and fruitions of
the beatitic vision.
To that state all the pious on earth are
tending, and if there isa law from whose
operations none are exempt, which rresis-
tibly consigns their bodies to darkness and
to dust, there is another not less certain or
less powerful, which conducts their spirits
to the abodes of bliss, to the bosom of their
Father and their God. The wheels of
nature are not made to roll backward every
thing presses on towards eternity from
the birth oftime an impetuons current has
set in, which bears all the sons of men to
an interminable ocean. Meadwhlle heav

genial to its nature is enriching itself
by the spoils of earth and collecting
within its capacious bosom whatever is
pure, permanent and divine, leaving moths
ing for the last fire to consumeAA. but the
objects and slaves of fconcupiscience: while
every thing which grace has prepared and
beau,ifed, shallbe gathered and selected
from the ruins of the world, to adorn that
eternal city !" which hath no need of the of
the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it;
for the glory of God doth eDlighten it, and
the Lamb is the light threof." r. HALL. :.
