SELECTED SCRAPS.

THE DAY OF REsT,-The sweetest SEN
sations oflife, are those experienced on the
Sabbath day. What delicious sensation is
rest to the weary! What a soothing infu-
ence spreads over the heart Of piety, in the
contemplation of God What ecstatic vi
sons fill the mind Of the ardent worshiper
As sacred pause in the giddy whirlwind
of avarice, how passifying to the soul; ha-
rrassed and worn by the tolls and cares Of
life. How little do we appreciate the bless
ings of the Sabbath, which brings such
sweet solace to the jaded and worn-out
spirit. On such day we feel as if brought
into the presence Of the great Creator Of
life--we feel his mercy-his love--his good
ness infinite; and his affection unbounded.
If in affliction-if bowed down by wo-we
feel hope revived by The soltening influences
Of the day, and the common attachment of
all humanity to the great Source Of Life.
It is on the Sabbath, that the memory Of
the past crowds on US with all the busy
scenes of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
the crimson epoch Of love, and the sombre
shadowings Of matured existence. The
groups who hasten to church, subdued into
pensiveness by the solemn recolections Of
the day, are all interesting as they HE them
selves to the altar Of God; to pour out the
full heart at the feet Of Mercy. Who can
contemplate the beauties Of the Sabbath, or
participate in the performance of its duties,
without feeling the thrill Of virtue dsarm
him of all his evil passions and purify his
soul to thoughts Of Observation-Disclosures OF
charity and examples of justice, Kindness
and love? We feel re-baptised in the foun-
tain of early life, as the flood Of better feel
ings gush upon the heart; making the parent
more tender--the child more affectionate
the friend more ardent-the brother more
attached-the sister more loving-th be-
trothed more devoted Sacred be the Sab
bath, as the source Of our purest joys-the
consolation Of our keenest afilictIons--the
deviser of our noblest resolutions. Let us
venerats it as a friend, and keep il holy,
as the sweeles riefuge Of affiiction.

HAPPINESS.

Happiness does not so much consist in hav-
ing the much 10 enjoy, as in the faculty to'en-
Joy life. He who cannot be happy without
taking great pains, will always find his pains
greater than his happiness. tits beautiful
thought Of Addison's, that one man often takes
more pleasure in the contemplation of fine
estate, than another in possession. The for
mer derives much pleasure from the estate,
without being burdened with the care Of pos
session the latter, burdened with the care Of
possession, derives little pleasure from the es-
tate. The one finds an estate in the beauties,
the other finds no beauties in the estate
The possession Of enjoyment is better than the
enjoyment of possession. (Watchtower.)

4 HE FAULTS OF CHILDREN.--It may be well
TO drop hint against the folly and impropriety
Of making the faults Of your children the sub
ject Of your conversation with other people
Nothing can be more unkind and iniudicious.
If you wish your children to reform and inn
prove, you must throw a shield around their
character However foolishly they may have
acted, let them see that you are anxious to
keep open the way for their return to respect
ability. Many youth has been hardened
and driven to reckless dispair by being
tauntingly upbraided before strangers, with
misconduct: which never needed, and. there
fore, ought never beenknown beyond his fam

REM ARKABLE CORN.

The exhuberant growth of vegetation
this summer has developed many remark
able appearance inthe productions OF the
soil. We have at our Office a stalk Of corn,
Of ordinary height and thickness, yet which
bears thirteen ears, and fourteenth shoot
ing from the end ofone o(these.-The OF guam
tity of corn upon this stalk is not very great
as none of the ears are large. The grains
are small, round, full and hard. They are
chiefly white, and semitransparent, but ir-
reglarly interspersed with purple Of several
shades.
This curiosity was presented to us by
Mr.. w. H. SAUNDERS, by whom il was rails
ed upon the island Farm Of pr. SWAMI,

TN A QUEER FIx.-WhenI was quite q
child, on returning from school one evening
in the latter part Of preserving time," ]
discovered one of the keitlesat neighbor's
house boiling and foaming. There being
no person near, and having longing desire
for the good things Of this world, ! picked
up spoon, which was lyiug on the table,
and gently dipped it in--but, as fate would
have it, whilst was cooling the delicious
morsel, was suddenly surprised by the
owners Of the house. Thinking that ]
would make sure Of what had got, |
swallowed at one dose, spoonful of--not
preserves--bu soft-soap. Il would be need
less to tell the effect which itproducd at the
time; but, Mr.. Editor, have had an aver
sion to g sof-soap'' ever since. Iris.

tion BY the intelligent audience composing thai
congregation. Mr.. Hunts talents are Of q
peculiar order. He says the hardest things in
the sofiest manner imaginable. He offends
none who hear him, yet but few Of the .iquor-
ing class can hear repeated by others without
being irrtated, that which is received from his
own lips with pleasure, and oftentimes with
profit. He possesses, in an unusual degree.
the talent or illustrating from admitted princi-
pies, and every day occurrences, the point he
wishes to sustain before his hearers. He tells
an anecdote, concealing its point, until il has
accomplished its purpose. more completely
than any man we have seen for long time.
He is fearless in his position, and often startles
his audience with which at first appears as
reckless denunciation. But before he is done,
those who hear, wonder that the truth had ne
yer been as plain 10 them, and as necessary TO
the cause as he makes Il appear Whine ne
is dealing severe blows upon the sliquor sellers,
word, by the way, that sounds most peculi-
arly mean from his mouth, you can see that
he feels sorry to be compelled 10 lay on SO
hard, and that he does il for their good.
II has been well said, that no man can re-
port Mr.. Hunts address, and that butfew can
describe the eloquence and logic which are
combined in his efforts. The best attempt to
describe him is found in toast given at Hunt

CALIFORNIA. The Union announces the re-
cept of information, on which it places implicit
reliance, ''that Commodore Sloat took posses
sion of Monterey on the 9th of July last"-ond
says, con the 9th of July, Commander John B,
Montgomery, of the Portsmouth, summoned
the commandant of Yerba Buena to surrender.
What the result of this summons was, we are
not informed"
All our serious demonstrations appear to be
directed against California, and its annexation
to the United States seems to be inevitable
Wehave seized different portions of that terri
tory, not that it may enable US to procure a
compliance on the part of Mexico with our Just
demands, but that we may be in position to
force the cession Of California to US, should it
be necessary on the conclusion of treaty.
Nor will this be difficult matter with Santa
Anna at the head of Mexican affairs; for we
believe that there is perfect understanding on
the subject between him and our government.
A short time will show whether our conjecture
be true or Incorrect
The information Of the Union further states,
that, ga few days previously to the 9Th of July,
a detachment ofCol. Fremont's force took pos
session of a frontier post called Sonoma, to the
North Of San Francisco. Gen. Castro attempt
ed TO disIodge them; but, after slight skirmish
and the arrival Of Col, Fremont in person, he,
Castro, retreated."
II appears, from the same source, that the
Californians are much divided amongst them
selves-and that con the 18th OF June iunta
met at Santa Barbara, headed by Governor
p co, to declare California independent; which
movement was met by proclamation from the
commandment General Castro, declaring martial
law throughout the country"
Tho declaration of independence is only a
n,epatatory step to annexation-lor, it is not
70 he supposed that the Californans would I'M
dertake to forcbly separate from Mexico, unless
thew relied upon our government for aid. 1t is

Of that terri DRY would willingly unite their fate
with this country; ard this spirit has 10 doubt
been encouraged oy American citizens settled
