A PUNGENT ARGUMENT.

A PUNGENF ARGUMENT.
We happened last Sunday afternoon to
be at the Bethel in North square. The
House was running over with seamen,
who filled the body of the House, the
stairs 10 the pulpit, and even the pulpit
itself. We give the following extract
from the Sermon of the afternoon. as a
fair specimen q the style IN which the
Rev. Mr.. Taylor makes practical sp-
plicaIion Of an important truth. al say,
shIpmstes, now look me full in the face.
What should you say OF tie man aboard
ship, who was always talking about his
compass, and never using it! What
should you think of the man, who, when
the storm is gathering, night a, hand,
moon and stars shut out, on lee shore,
breakers ahead, then first begins To re-
member his compass, and says, 'Oh,
what nice compass have got on boar,l.'
il before that time he has never looked at
il! Where is it that you keep your COM
pass! DO yon stow it away IN thu hold!
Do you clap i, in the forepeak" BY his
time Jacks face. that untrring indrX Of
his soul, showed visibly, that the rt4uC-

"Now, then, brethren, listen TO me. Re-

Of life. Keep ii always at hand. Stea-
Oily. steadily fix your eye on it. Study

THE HARVEST PROSPECT,

Many Of our reapcrs abroad identify this
insect with the hessian fly, and others with

preys upon the stock Of the wheat; the
wevi upon the ripened grain, IN the barn
or 10 the bin; the gram worm destroys
the wheat in the germ or milk. The
spring grain aud grass look very well,
where any attention has been given to
draining; and even Indian corn, though 90,
in late, has come up well, and is Of a good
color. There has been an abundance

if TO turn from the sin Of Intemperance by

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

We had the curiosity to examine a
descriptive list of a detachment Of 200 re-
cruits lately sent from New York to Fort
Gibson, and subjoin statement of their
various trades and occupations. Probably
in no other detachment Of similar size has
there been found so great variety, and is
one evidence of the effect Of the present
pressure upon all classes Of society. Men
who have hitherto looked uton the army
as dernier resort, now gladly embrace the
profession of arms as refuge from want.
