Brief Notes of Old Humphrey,

Our lraIl bodies are tottering habitations;
every beat of the heart is rap at the door to
tell US of our danger.
Do you want to know the man agains,
whom youhave most reason to guard YOURSELF
Your looking glass will give you a very fail
likeness of his face.
Whether we go backwards or forwards. 70
the right hand, or to the left, every step we
take is a step towards the grave.
When | put my finger on my pulse, il tells
me at the same moment. that | am a Iivinp
and a dying man.
True wisdom is TO know what is best worth
knowing, and TO do what is best worth do.

When the inidel would persuade YOU to
abandon your Bible, tell him you will do 50
when he brings you a better book.
Aman should always look forward for com.
tort, FOR when the heaven above our heads !,
dark, the earth under our feet is darker.
When we start back with unusual surprise
at the wIckedness of others, may it not be
proof thai we are not sufficiently acquainted
with our own hearts?
lfdeath be solemn with the hope of eternal
joy, how terrible must it be with the fear of
eternal woe!

Ienemy; the enemy that justly reproves thee
IS a friend.
As the lark sings at the dawn of day, and
the nightingale at even, so should we show
forth the loving kindness Of the Lord every
night.
He who negIects religion, prepares for him
self a draught, and a meal of wormwood,a
nightcap of thorns, and a bed of briers; a life
of vexation and a death of sorrow.
Pride is an unchristian quality, yet how ma

If you meet with one very vain or very am
bilious, do not envy him, but think thus to
yourself: my fine fellow! the grave will soon
be your bed-chamber; the earth your pillow;
corruption your father; and the worm your
mother and your sister,
If you want to get a spiritual appetite. walk
often in the green pastures, and by the still
waters Of Gad's promises to his people.
If the world knew what passes in my heart,

The most unreasonable, the most migrate
full. and the most deceitful of all things, is the
human heart.

Instinct.

What is it that guides the OK in selecting two
hundred and seventy-six kinds of herbs, and at
the same time teaches him to avoid two hundred
and eighteen, as unfit for food?
a species of spider digs a hole in the earth,
about two feet deep, and closes it with a curious
trap door, so as to deceive and keep out every
intruder.
The tortoise, though Matched a mile from the
water, no sooner leaves its shell, than it runs d.
rectly to the ocean, without a guide.
The spher 66ulosa prepares little shells in
the earth, then she fetches spiders, and deposites
one with each egg, that the little ones may have
food as soon as they break forth from the shell.

LIFE OF A MEDICAL MAx.-There is not
any career which SO rapidly wears away the
powers of life, because there is no other which
requires a greater activity of mind and body
He has to bear the changes of weather, continued
fatigue, irregularity in his meals, and broken
rest, and to live in the midst of miasma and con-
tagIon. If in the country, to travel considera-
BILE distances on horseback, exposed to winds
and storms, to brave all dangers, to go to the re-
lief of suffering humanity. A fearful truth for
medical men has been established by the table
OF morality of DIR. Casper, published in the British
fevlew. Of 1000 members of the medical
profession, 500 died before their cd years
whilst of persons leading a quiet life, such as
agriculturalists, theologians, the morality is only
347. If we take 100 individuals of each of those
classes, 43 theologians, 40 agriculturalists, So
clerks, and 81 soldiers, will reach their 10th
year ; but ofone hundred professors of the heal
ing art, "a only will reached that age. They
are the sign-post to health; they can show the
road to old age, but rarely tread it themselves.

place to another; and they use their limbs, and
select their food at the proper time and place.
Mix salt and arsenic, and a sheep will select
the former from the latter, a thing which you
could not do.

ScANDAL.-Dr. Bethune says with much truth,
that Islander is more accumulative than a snow
ball." 1t starts from the mouth of the originator
a mere atom, and passes from lip to lip accumu-
lating volume and substance till it swells TO a
size appalling TO the disinterestedness, and Who'll
" beyond the recognition of its first parent. 1t
is like a salad, which every one will season to his
own taste, or the taste of those TO whom he of
fers it, and each faster is so pleased with the
sweet morsel that he gives it another dash from
the castor, and passes it on to his next neighbor.
Those who have the least inherent purity of their
own are ever the most free and liberal in multi
plying the foibles and magnifying the sins of
others In nine cases out of ten the reckless
traducer of another's character Judges of his VIC
tim after the dictates of his own heart-wbich
being corrupt, corrupts all his thoughts, taints
with corruption his surmises of the actions,
thoughts and motives of others.

Mammoth Iron .&eqmer.-The great iron stea-
mer now being built in Bristol, in England, will
no doubt, when completed be regarded as one
of the most extraordinary mechanical wonders
in the world. She will carry five masts, and
her tonnage will reach the enormous extent of
5000 tons. Her length on deck is PA feet. She
will have four engines of 300 horse power each.
and is expected to be completed by the first of
May next. She is designed, in the first place,
for the A~rchimedes screw; but should that fail,
she is so constructed that paddles may be readily
resorted to- Her hull is divided into compart-
ments, so that if one should be injured, the &C
cident would not affect the safety of the vessel.
Her workmanship throughout is described ofthe
very highest style of art. She will be filled
with water before launched, and thus have her
tightness tested. The iron Gall wroupht) is
more than half an inch thick. She will cost
something like 100000, and, as is supposed.
will be Commanded by captain Hosken.

Singular DericGf;o".-An ingenious writer
INFORMS us, that in the English Language all
words of necessity are derived from the German,
and all words of hurry, and those most used at
the table, from the French. The sky, the earth,
the names of animals, household goods and arti-
Giles of food are the same in German as in En-
glish: the fashion in dress, and every thing be-
longing to the kitchen, luxury, and ornaments
are taken from the French: and to make a degree

he fiend oftemperance still logging his footsteps,

the tiend of temperance still logging his footsteps
he was compelled to sell out and remove.
His next location was in Maryland, where a
few friends once more re-established him, his
wife ~clinging to him through all his vicisitudes
with the tenacity of woman, and the faint but
constantly beaming hope that he would yet re-
form and resuscitate his almost lifeless fortunes.
For the third time, however, strong drink OBJ
tanned the mastery. He sold out, and was again
compelled to try the southwest.
He passed down the Ohio and Mississippi to
New Orleans, his wife still clinging to him, and
finally proceeded into Texas. Here he rallied
for a little while, but the period was brief, and
incompetence and the climate acting together, soon
put an end to his earthly career. His young
wife at the time, had two children with her
one a boy of three years and a half old,th other
an infant only eleven months, and not a dollar
where-with to provide. Her situation was ter
rible indeed, especially when we remember her
early education, kindly bringing up, and the do
ting fondness with which she chung, in every
misfortune, TO her ever kind but misguided and
ruined husband. Approaching her situation, a
few charitable individuals engaged a passage for
the widow and little family on board the schoon-
er Harriet Porter bound to Philadelphia. They
had been out but a few hours, before the unfor-
tunate woman, overcome by distress, anxiety of
mind, and the condition of her children, was
seized with a violent fever, and died a raving
maniac. Her little infant was torn from her
dead arms with difficulty, and kept on sweeten-
ed water the rest of the voyage. Doubtless, the
other passengers extended every aid possible; but
there was no female on board, and men are not
exactly suited to nurse an infant Of SO tender an
age, and at sea. The fate of the poor mother
must indeed be lamented by every feeling heart.
Her body was thrown into the sea, and we are
happy to be able to state that the little orphans
are now in the care of a family in this city, who
were acquainted with the deceased, and who will
see that their wants are abundantly supplied
The infant when it arrived in Philadelphia, was
completely cmaciated, with scarcely enough Of
life remaining 10 animate its feeble frame.
