HOW TO BE SICK.
" Y Commercial.

|. Be good natu ed about it. You may
huve been very unwise, even foolish, in getting
sick. But do not now, by iretfulness, render
the matter worse.
2. Be prompt in employing the means Of
cure. ObSta prinCipiis, the old Latins would
say which amounts to our vulgar proverb,
"A stitch in time saves nine. Many die, who,
had they applied remedies day earlier, might
have lived.
3. Take time to get well. The constitution
! invaded by disease, cannot be restored TO full
vigor and health in moment. The regaining
of its wasting energies must consume some
time. Many, by disreearding this considera-
ton, get sick again, and not few die. There
is no subject in regard to which we more APP
propriately apply the aiage, make haste
| slowly than that of getting well.
4. Resolve to be more careful TO keep well
in future No man, surely, should fail 10 learn
wisdom by the things which he suffers.
5. Makea time OF sickness time OF solemn
reflection on the past. Sickness occasions a
break IN the current Of life. Inquire how that
current hath hitherto flowed Inquire after
neglected duties. In sickness the soul views
things with more sober eye. Estimates then
formed come nearer the truth than is often,
under other circumstances, The case.
6. In sickness, if you have the prospect of
SettinS wei again, CONSIDER now you may be
more useful in future. Were you, when laid
on your bed, a Christian ?-Then have you to
pursue alresh, with redoublcd ardor, your on
ward course. Were you not Christian p
Then let this be the time of giving all to Christ
-consecrate to him your returning strength,
and commence living anew and to Il glory oil
his name.
Z. In sickness recognize the hand Of God
'Afi elton cometh not forth OF the dust. neither
doth trouble spring out Of The ground.' What
ever may have been our own agency or the
agency of our fellow men, the Lords hand is
TO be acknowledged in the things which we
suffer. Be still, therefore, before God. clear
we the rod, and who hath appointed it." Let
sickness be time of acquainting yourself with
God-wi.h his character, his promises, his
threatenngs, with every thing, by which he
makes himself known.
3. In sickness bring yourself near TO etcrni-
ty. God may have seen you too neglectful of
tho hgh interest Of that state. Sickness may
have been sent as an admonition, TO awaken
you 10 better views-to a sense OF your fraity,
and new course OF action. Fail not, there
fore, to use time of sickness for The high pur-
poses of promoting your immortal well-bcing.

.Aaecd0te Of an Early RiSer.-It is an old re-
mark, that Zone practical lesson is worth a
hundred lectures ;"-besides, lectures are GEN.
orally longer than narratives Of practical les
sons. A friend of the late Mr. Perry, well
known in the literary world as the "old and
respectable correspondent" of a certain morn
ing paper, and as highly respected in every
capacity, has been, Tor many years past, in the
habit OF TAX ing an early stroll before thrift and
occupation has re-peopled the streets. Last
winter, in one Of his morning walks, he saw
before him q little erimy sweep, whose half
clad limbs and seeming wretchedness awaken
ed the strongest feelings Of philanthropy.
" Sweep" cried the lad, family and hoarsely.
and then sat himself down on the steps Of a
door TO break his fast with part o! stale bun.
His observer was moralizing on his condition,
and, Howard-ke, celebrating how that con-
dition might be mended. "That child" tho't
he I" in all his wretchedness may possess a
breast susceptible OF feelings that would do
honor TO finer covering" At this moment a
dog, as lean and hunger-worn as The sweep,
drew near he stood at humble distance, and
looked as pleadingly to share the morsel, as
Want might do at the feast Of Luxury. In
tent upon the actors in the scene, our friend,
I've have pleasure in calling him one.) put his
hand instnctively into his pocket TO reward
the display of humanity which he anticipated
the incident might ptoduce--the urchin smiled,
the dog wagged his tail, and with confidence
approached 10 take the crumb held on, towards
him but when within reach Of it,, the sooty
wretch withdrew the bait, and dealt him sur
! ly blow with his brush, which was followed by
a chuckle at his dexterity. The dog howed
sonowiully and skunk away.-"Boy," cried
| the benevolent person of whom the story is
told, "you must be cold. livery cold sir"
The sixpence that would have rewarded an
exhibition OF better feeling, was seen between
the thumb and 6nger-tho sweep gathered him
self up-his eye glislened at the inviting prof
fer-hs hand was stretched out to receive it,
bat instead Of the sixpence, he took smarling
blow of the cane. "Oh" cried the dsap'
pointed expeclant. 49," said our friend
you administered to the dog-begone, boy
there are those who would call this oppression
but It's only by sharing it that some can learn
mercy"

This is the third or fourth fire, or attempt al
fire, which has occurred in the Department,
under very suspicious circumstances, within
the last half dozen years. If any thing short
Of the last great conhugraton, will destroy the
evidences of guilt which no doubt exist there,
we should think the incendiares would soon
be successful.

The following song was written Tor
County Cattle Sho'c, BY b. BRow
Esq, Of Boston:
THE PLOUGH.
when Adam, with his blooming rib,
BY the behest Of Heaven,
From Paradise, his native home,
All sorrowing was driven,
The curse primeval, though SO hard,
A blessing was trow,
That she should nurse her little babes,
While he should guide the PLoueH.
So, our great ancestor became
A Farmer Of the soil,
And millions OF his children too
Are sharors in the toll.
We clear and beautify the fields;
We drain the mry slough;
We WELD the sickle and the fail,
And guide the sturdy PLoUcH
OF all the stations here on earth,
The Farmer ranks the first,
Though some may reckon him debas'd
For toling in the dust.
,Tis Natures calling he pursues,
AS, with sweaty brow,
He turns the sod all upside-down,
And guides the sturdy PLOUGH.
When Spring in all its merrimcnt
O'erspreads the fields with green,
And nought, save notes of JOY, is heard,
And nought but smiles are seen,
The Farmer turns his tillage lands,
And who's SO happy now,
As he, while, whistling to his team,
He guides the shining PLouGH.
Domestic Joy full well he knows,
And, it may hap, care;
For none must think to be exempt
From common lot and share.
His wife, she deems it her concern
To milk the bonny COW,
And cheer her rudy husband, as
lie guides the sturdy PLOUGH.
For love Of wealth, some get ensnar'd
In speculation's tolls,
And others, when disasters come,
Are scrambling for the spoils
Still does the prudent Farmer pay
To industry his vow,
Nor heeds the struggle nor the strife,
But steady guides the PLoUaH.
Good rule and order he maintains
He lives in peace with all
And, 10 defend his country's rights,
He's ready for the call.
Now, to be ever thus content,
Say, wights, would ye know how
IT'S but to mind your own affairs,
And steady guide the PLoucH.
