MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
At meeting ofthe Managers ofthis So.
ciety, held in the Committe Room, 200
Mulberry.st., on the 2lst inst, it was.
Resolved, that the bishops be allowed TO
draw, for the present year, tortytrc thou
sand dollars. This is exclusive of the sum
necessary for the support of the foreign
missions, which, it is believed, will require
not less than twentyjour thousand dollars
more, an aggregate amount OF strty-na'le
thousand dollars.
The amount for which the bishops are
allowed to draw is to meet the expenses
of the domestic missions among the poorer
white settlements, those among the slaves
of the south, and southwest and the several
aboriginal missions in the Unrted States
and Territories. The foreign missions in.
clude those in Liberia, South America, the
Oregon, and Texas, for the last of which
three missionaries have been recently ap.
pointed /; and it is in contemplation to send
messenger from this society to France
provided suitable person can be found.

From late English work entitled Mature o
Revelation"


The Lion teaches that great minds are
often alarmed at very little enemies. The
lion is terrified by the cock crow.
Illustriation.-I know very popular
man whose opinions rule thousands of the
religious; who wears boots, because he is
morbidly afraid ofa dog bite.
The Boar teaches that persons much
alike bear pain very differently-as the
pig, much like the boar, makes dreadful
noise when he is hurt; the bear none.
IlIustration.--Capability Of bearing
pain is not always virtue, but very often
depends on physical condition. James
Bee had his leg amputated, and. filled the
streets with groans. Henry Burr, very
much like him, during similar occasion
never murmured at all.
The Ass teaches that many innocent
things have an undeserved name.-What
so patient as an ass, in realityl what by
reputation so stubborn!
Illustriation.-The Toad, ear-wig and
common snake, are also specimens of this
remark. The English Puritans are most
ly decried: but they saved religion from
Popery and the Government from becom-
ing despotic.
The Squirrel teaches that man may
be very clever, and yet of no great service.
Tho squirrel can leap the best of all
animals, and is yet of little value.
Illustriation.-Of this class are nearly
all players, mountebanks, jugglers, some
fine artists, dancers, &c.
The Poney teaches that greatness is
often merely greater quantity of the lit
tie. The reney has all real properties and
forms of the strongest horse in less de-
gree.
Illustration.-Friendship, leisure, hon.
or, distinction, and indeed all the real ad.
vantages OF life, are TO be obtained in a
cottage, with f2o0 per annum. Great.

RESPONSIBILITY OF FERRIES.

RESPONSIBILITY Oh Ehhlf.S.
We find the following notice of case
recently tried in the Supreme Court OF
New York, before Judge Talmadge, in
the Journal Of Commerce.
1ud7ev UndcrhW and others, Us James b.
Clark and SilaS Butler.
This was an action to recover damages
from the defendants as common carriers,
for The loss of sundry horses, wagons &C.,
which were on board the ferry boat Jack
son, when sho was sunk last summer by
coming in collision with the steam boat
Boston, in the East river. 1t was en-
deavored 10 be shown that there was neg
ligcncc an the part Of the defendants, and
evidence was adduced, from which it ap-
peared that the occurrence took place
while TIE ferry boat was on her first trip
that morning and that it was made at a
much later hour than usual. Some Of the
plaintiffs witnesses also deposed that when
leaving Brooklyn the ferry boat moved
very slowly, and when she was about to
start, the ferry master made observations
which tended to show that the boat had
not got up sufficient quantity of steam.-
In reply to this, however, the ferry master
deposed that the boat being late was an or.
dinary occurrence, and although he hac
used the observations imputed to him, tc
stisfy the impatience Of the passengers
the boat went off as we'll as usual, and ii
his opinion she had her ordinary quantity
of steam up when she left Brooklyn
Several witnesses we're examined as te
the condition of the ferry boat from which
it appeared that although she was an ole
boat, and had formerly been horse boat
she was nevertheless as strong and as vel
adapted for ferry boat as most of the 9th
er ferry boat on the river, and had beer
thoroughly repaired few months before
she was lost.
Inrelation to the occurrence, it appeared
to have been the result of pure accident

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

To make Rusks and Dough.nuts.-One
pint of new milk, one pint of brown sugar,
and three-quarters of pound of butter
melted in the milk until it is quite hot;
beat the sugar and eggs together until they
appear quite light, then add the milk and
butter, with as much flour as will make a
stiff batter; beat it we'll, then put in one
spoonful Of good-yeast; let it stand all
night in crock; if raised good in the
morning, add as much -four as viii make
it into dough; put it back into the crock
and let it rise second time; then make it
out into small cakes and put them in an
oven little warm, not crowded, and let
them raise the third time; then heat your
lid and oven as your judgment may dictate,
and bake them pine brown. You can
take part of the dough and cut into any
shape you fancy, and fry them in some
nice hot lard of a light brown.-lJid.

USEFUL IMPROVEMENT.

Few people, except builders, are aware Of
the advantage of wetting bricks before
laying them.-A wall twelve inches thick
built up of good mortar with bricks we'll
soaked, is stronger in every respect than
one sixteen inches thick built up dry
The reason of this is that if the bricks are
saturated with water they will no. abstract
from the mortar the moisture which is ne
cessary to its crystalization, and on the
contrary they will unite chemically with
the mortar, and become almost as solid as
rock. On the other hand, if the bricks
are put up dry, they Immediately take up
all the moisture from the mortar, and leave

is taken down, or tumsb1es down of its own

i We quote the above from the last Herald,
which, as has been the case for the last five
years, opens every important political cam
paign Ivy publishing great whig victories,
collected from a great distance, and vouch-
ed for, by that veracous print, in order to
deceive the frecmen, and effect the elevation
of some political Dagon of ftherow kidney,
by calling in the aid of others to do what
they despair of accomplishing themselves.
But this trick Of the Herald has grown stale,
has been too often repeated, and is too well
appreciated longer to deceive the freemen
of Rhode Island. On the eve Of every i'm
portant election they as naturally look for
such statements, as the above, in that paper
and as certainly expect them. as thoy do
flies in fish time, or heat in dog days.
Such statements, however, say they of
the Herald, are not for the knowing ones,
but we raus, make the welkin ring, as here
tofore, aud say something to encourage the |
mechanics and farmers, aud other simple
country folks, who have neither the advan-
tnge OF education, nor of royal blood, and !
must necessarily believe all we choose to
say for their instruction. Now for our
selves, we do not believe that the farmers
and mechanics of II. Island, are such SIM
pletons ms to stand in need of any false
statements, or political subterfugos, for their
especial instruction. We believe they are
already sufficiently informed, as to their
own interests, at least, and know too much
to be thus easily duped, by men who think
so meaniy of their understandings.
know TOO much Of their own interests. to
abandon those long tried, and faithful SER
