THE STARS.
1 1.-THE stars that in their courses roll.
1 Have much instruction given"
4 Look at the distant star which twink
les in the ornaments. There 1t has
shone with undiminished lustrc for cen
turtles. The eyes that arc sealed in
death thousands Of years, have gazed
upon it, and seen it the same as we be-
hold it now. 1t has held its place on
Through successive empires. If we
look back through the vista of distant
ages, we find it there. 1t behelt Rome
in her might and majesty. 1t looked
upon Babylon, in the days of her glory.
Yet it still shines on, without change
or diminution Of lustre. Perpetuity,
cons,ancy, is stamped upon it. Yet
this is hut feeble type Of the constan-
cy and endurance Of heavenly friend
ship.-s:Thus saith the Lord, which
giveth the sun for light by day, and
1.-THE ordinances ofthe moon and the stars
for light by night; which dlvldeth
the sea when the waves thereof roar;
the Lord Of Hosts is his name; if those
ordinances depart from before me, saith
the Lord, then the seed Of Israel shall
cease from being a nation before me
forever. The mountrins shall depart,
and the hill be removed, but my kind
ness shall not depart from thee! neither
shall the covenant of my peace be re-
moved, saith the Lord, that hath mercy
on thee" And if we attach so much
value to the constancy that can abide
but for few years at most, bow can
we estimate Alright that which endures
forever! Think of friendship, the
measures Of whose duration is eternity
Iitself-the tener Of it without limit or
end. o! what basis for everlasting
lxeas.6danca Is. this!

BoATs.-We have been favored with
| copy Of the Report Of the Committee
in The House Of Representatives, to
whom were referred the petition Of
Samuel Raub, jr., in relation to Steam
Engines. The Committee after ma
turc investigation of the invention, re-
ported that it was their confident belief
THAT Mr.. Raub's plan would in great
degree, il not absolutely, effect the
desirable objection whichitis intended;
and they recommend an appropriation
Of three thousand dollars, for the pur-
pose Of making practical application
Of the invention, and report bill for
that purpose.
/ Mr.. Raub is native Of Pennsylva.

Iingenius mechanic. We hope that on
a more extended experimental his in
