SPLENDID GIFT.-The passengers by the packet

her last trip, have presented Captain Howes, with
superb silver pitcher, and Mr.. Waterman the chief

The articles were presented by Mr.. Hoadley, who
made neat speech, which was neatly answered by
the Captain. We think the gifts were nearly as neat

PROFITABLE PATRONS.

Many persons appear to have the
idea that an Editor should be agen-
eral aims -giver-that his time, SER
vices and money should be freely
and gratuitously rendered to every
man and body of men, who may
wish to operate upon the public
mind. We have been amused with
an instance of this fact, which we
find recorded in a country paper.
II meeting last week in Barnsta
BILE, the town voted that the report
of the School Committee, which was
read to the meeting "be printed in
the Barnstable, Patriot and Yar-
mouth Register, provided that those
papers will publish it for nothing"
Now we put it to any liberal min
ded man if the town of Barnstable
might not with quite as much pro-
priety and fairness have passed a
resolution to this effect:
"ResoiUed, That we will on Sat
urday next, dine on venison at the
house of Major Tompkins at the
Bulls Head, broUided, he will
charge us nothing for our dinners!"
- Why is not the one proposition
quite as preposterous and uniustifi-
able as the other?
People should be disabused of
these erroneous impressions in re-
gard to the gratuitous employment
of types. Composltors must be
| paid as well as cooks-paper ma
kers as we'll as butchers-editors
and publishers as we'll as grocers
and winners. And yet, from the
evactions often coolly made of edi-
tors, one would suppose that they
were beings offs philanthroplc and
selfsacrificing character that they

you also as men possessed Of consciences; and
we tell you, if you would consult your happ-

awake she will, and you shall learn your folly

Mr.. Slick invents new washing
machine, and wholly regardless of
our time and convenience brings it
numbering into our editorial senctum
and insists upon our devoting an
hour or two to hearing his explana-
ton of the ''principle'' on which it
works, and Of" the reason why" it
must in a few years revolutionize
the world, abolish slavery, restore
the currency, and bring about the
millennium. We listen to Mr.. Slick
with "sad civility," and give longing
glances at the door. At last our
visiter comes to the point.
"f you will give my washing
machine little puff! Mr.. Editor,
you will be advancing the cause of
science"
When, after he has swindled us
out of an hour of precious time, we
inform Mr.. Slick that we cannot
advertise his invention without be-
ing paid for it at the published rates,
he pretends to look astonished, says
we are not the man he took us for,
and walks off with his washing ma
chine under his arm.
Scarcely have we resumed our
pen when the Secretary of the soci-
ETY. 'for the Diffusion of Uuseful
knowledge and the Promotion of
Every Thing" walks in, and de-
sires us to call attention to the
grand meeting which is to be held
at Humbug Hall the next evening.
"You should leave your adver-
tisement in the publication office,
Mr.. Secretary"
ooh, bless you, sir, I do not
mean to advertise. It is a public
object you know-and you must find
your reward, sir, in the satisfaction
of having done a charitable action
forward our object with posterity"
"Stop, Mr.. Snooks. Our time
is precious. We have all possible
regard for that very respectable
body, posterity, but as posterity,
would not raise finger to help us,
we must be absolved, for the present
from diverting our means from i'm
mediate and more pressing claims"
every singular remark, sir. I
thought that an editor"-
"Yes, sir, you thought that an
editor, by his vocation, was one
whom you and every other bore
were privileged to bait with impor-
tunities, to fleece of time, and to ims
pose upon by gratuitous advertise
ments. Mr.. Snooks, it will not do.
Here is a communication three col
umns long from the President of the
Society 'for the relief of INDECENT
females" which he tells us he ''will
allo1u" us to publish. hestimable
favor! Wonderful generosity! And
mere is letter from Mr.. Pallett,
requesting us to puff his new picture
from Mr.. Starr calling attention
to his beneft-from, Heaven save
the mark!--from Mr.. Green, lndlg-
nant because we did not notice his
mammoth po:ato--and now, ir,here
are you with plea for the Useful
knowledge society. Why should
you apply to us, sir, for charity any
more than to Broadway merchent?"
- "You amaze me, Mr.. Editor
"That was our intention, sir.
Good morning"
These rough hints, such as they
are, we respectfully dedicate to all
the Messrs. sSlicks and Snooks, who
may be in the vicinity Of ''these Dig
gins"--not forgetting the select men
of Barnstable.

BONAPARTE'S OPINION O. F
CHRIST.

Iorelgn Journal lately puOHsitu
conversation related by Count de Mon
tholon, the faithful friend of the Emperor
Napoleon. Without being responsible for
the truth of this conversation as reported,
will copy it literally and, it may really
have been uttered by the Emperor. lt
deserves to be read with attention.
81 know men," said Napoleon, "and
tell you that Jesus is not man The
religion OF Christ is mystery which SUBJ
sists by its own force, and proceeds from
a mind which is not human mind. We
find in 1t marked individuality. which
originated tain of words and actions uns
known before. Jesus borrowed nothing
from our knowledge. He exhibited in
himself, perfect example Of his precepts.
Jesus is not philosopher, for his proofs
are miracles and from the first, his dIsci-
Piles adored him. Intact. learning and
philosophy are of no use for salvation
and Jesus came into the world, to reveal
the mysteries of Heaven, and the laws of
the Spirit.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemague, and
myself, founded empires but, on what
foundations did we rest the creations Of
our genius! Upon force. Jesus Christ
alone founded his empire upon lore: and,
to this hour millions of men would die for
him.
at was not day, or battle, that
achieved the triumph Of the Christian re-
ligion in the world No; it was a long
war, contest for three centuries, begun
BY the Apostles, then continued by the
flood of Christian generations. In this
war, If all the Kings and potentates of the
earth, were on one side, on the other ] see
no army but a mysterious force, some men
scattered here and there in all parts of the
world, and who have no other rally ing
point than a common faith in the mystic
ries of the cross.
81 die before my time, and my body
will be given back to the earth, TO become
food for the worms. Such is the fate Of
him that has been called the great .Napo-
leon. What an abyss between my deep
misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ,
which is proclaimed, loved, and adored,
and which is extending over The whole
earth Call you this dying Is it not
living ratherl The death of Christ is the
death of God !''
Napoleon stopped at the last words
but General Bertrand making no reply,
the Emperor added: " If you do not per-
ceive that Jesus Christ is God, did wrong
to appoint you GeneralF"
If this language was really uttered by
Napoleon it forms fine chapter in de-
fence of Christianity for which we are in.

TATTLLNG.

1t is very common for persons TO tell
every thing they hear, whether they have
any grounds for what they hear or not
To the injury of an individual something
may be said and spread abroad, when
there is not the least shadow of truth in
the story. 1t is against this species of tat
Ting which we should particularly guard
ourselves. The wise man knew how
prone the world was to this sin when he
said" He that keepeth his mouth keep
eth his life" Truly that man who is
careful of what he says-especially when
he knows it is in his power 10 injurc the
character of person, or thwart any of his
purposes, acts up to the proverb and gains
The esteem and friendship Of his fellows.
Although by not being sufficiently on your
guard, you may excite a degree of inter-
est at the expense of the character Of a
nelghbor, depend upon it, it is only for
moment. You but heap Goals of fire upon
your own heads. None will trust you
with their secrets, ard you will be point
ed at as one deserving of their censure>
BeweIe how you use your tongue; it is
good rule which somebody has given to
us; to think twice before we speak once.
Act up to this, and no one will complain
Of You in this respect, and you will gain
the confidence Of mankind, which is more
to be desired than all the secrets ofs ccm,

THE PROTEST.

We give the Presidents Protest against
the proceedings of the House of Represen-
tatives, in relation to the appointment of a
Committee to report on his late Veto Mes
sage, and the adoption by the House OF
that Report by separate and distinct vote.
The paper we now give has been delayed
by the President under the mistaken hope
that the House of Representatives would,
before its adjournment, have reviewed, IN
some mode, its extraordinary proceeding
by which it in fact converted itself ihto
court of accusation and of trial. The Pro-
test is written in strong and decided Ian
guage, but is, at the same time, highly res
pectful and courteous to the House of Re
representatives.. We regard it as one of the
most important and interesting documents
which these eventful times have brought
forth.
