family! No. Not only must the hus-
band be honest; the wife too must be
honest. They must all think not only Of
what they want, but of what they owe,
and of all the demands that will come
upon them. Then they will work with
him in avoiding expense, and in making
the best of all things, that every one may
receive his Just due from his family.
When a man is not honest, his family
share in his dishonesty; and when a
man is honest, half of the credit of his
honesty is due to his wife. as is the
fact in many cases at least. l nus when
the principle Of being strictly honest is
carried out by the parents, in converse
ton and practice, their children will be
very sure to be honest; and then the ex-
ccllens virtue of honesty will be heredi
tary in the family as in the "big hall BIZ
ble." 1t may be seen then by these re-
marks, that many more persons are
concerned in the virtues of honesty, than
mere men of business. All the members
of their families are concerned in it;
and therefore to secure commercial ho-
nesty, we must have family honesty. Not
only must the father calculate to keep
within his means, and meet his engage
ments, but his family must calculate on
it with him, and then he may succeed.
When they all do this, and feel a sacred
regard to others rights, and are not will
ling to enjoy any luxury or any comfort
to the injury of others, they reach high
degree Of moral excellence. Christian

The Chinese attach great importance

and an ambassador to the court Of Pekin,
whose name had not something imposing
in Chinese, would be received pretty
much in the way that Bubb Doddington
anticipated when he thought of going
minister to Spain. The Commissioner

gifted in this respect, for Crushing means

with musket shots, the bears in return
tore up the hedges, and did not fear to
attack the men. The contest was terrible,
and was not finished until one Of the
cabins was set on fire. The conhagration

Bells.

The chimes Of bells are so intimately
associated in idea with the rural sounds
and domestic quiet of the country, that
we listen to them with the same feelings
inspired by the singing of woodland
brook over its path Of pebbles, the hum
Of insects in summer field, or any other
Of the many voices of nature. To have
heard the chimes once, though it be but
broken recollection of infancy, is G.
nough. The ear never forgets while the
heart feels. 1t is said that the delight
caused by hearing the sound of bells, is
altogether arbitrary; that we cheat our
selves into the belief Of their melody by
their associations of home, or the village
church under which we have always
heard them. Perhaps SO but the real
existence of some things consists not in
what they are, but in what they appear.
This is vile doctrine in morals, but it
is good philosophy in other matters.

rights of faith like the natural claims to
liberty, that are born before systems or
modes Of government, and survive them
too. But bells have an arlist-like music
OF their own, of far higher tone than
that drawn from vioIins, or other earthly
instruments. They are hung alort in the
pure air towards the skies, or as the sain.

Mr.. Esiabrook, formerly clergyman Of
AthoI. in this county, was well known
for his wagglsh turn of mind no less than
for fervent unaffected piety and genuine
benevolencc. There are many anecdotes
connected with his long minisiry--and he
died at very advanced age-which arc
well worth preserving. Towards the las
of his life proposition was made in par
ish---or as it then was, in town meeting
to increase his salary 10 IN amount cor
responding with the Increased expenses
