A Beautiful Sentiment.

When look upon the tombs of the
great, every emotion of envy dies within
me; when read the epitaphs of the beauti.
full, every immoderate desire goes out; /;
when meet with the grief of parents
upon The tomb stone, my heart melts with
compassion; whenl see tombs of parents
themselves, consider the vanity of
grieving for those WHOM we must soon
follow; when see kings lying with those
who deposed them; when l consider rivals
laid side by side, or the holy men that
divided the world with their disputes,
reflect with sorrow and astonishment on
the little competitions, factions and debates
of mankind; when | read the several dates
of some of the to mbs, and of some that
died centuries ago, consider that great
day when shall all of us be contemporaries
Nand make our appearance there together,

End Of the , World.

-
The disappearance Of stars from
the Planetary World is suited to
awaken deep and solemn reflections
in the human mind. They indicate
that the period is coming when this
earth also will disappear, and the
heavens be rolled together as scroll,
and the grand catastrophe at the
end of the world will come to pass.
During the last two or three centu.
ries, upwards of thirteen fixed stars
have disappeared. One of them,
situated in the northern hemisphere,
presented a peculiar brilliancy, and
was so bright as 10 be seen by the
naked eye at midday. 1t seemed to
be on fire, appearing at first of a daz.
zling white, then ofa reddish yellow,
and lastly OF an ashy pale color.
La Place supposes that it was burned
up, as it has never been seen since
The conflagration was visible about
sixteen months. How dreadful! a
whole system on fire the great central
luminary and its planets, with their
plains, mountains, forests, villages, ci-
ties, and Inhabitants, all in flames,
consumed? And here we have a
presumptive proof Of the truth, and a
solemn illustration Of singular pas
sage in the Bible--"The heavens will
pass away with great noise, the ele-
ments shall melt with feryent heat,
the world also and the works that are
therein, shall be burned up." m

| am Glad 10 See YOn' >

There are more lies contained in these
few words thar in all the written speeches
OF a law shop, and yet the expression is.on
the tipend ofalmost every ones tongue.
Take an instance--Madam has pickles or
sausages to make, and is up to her ears in
pots and kettles, when Mrs. Somebody
enters with her six little ones, all dressed
off as neatly as if they had been for six
months imprisoned in a bandbox. "Bless
me, I'm extremely glad to see you.'l
It's whapper-it's downright lie. In
herheart she wishes her and all her little
brood TO the--we liked TO said it.
When we hear a person say, "Do call
again and see me-" it sounds SO much like,
"John, show the gentleman the way out"
There is no such thing poiteness. To
be what the fashionable world terms "po-
lite," we must necessarily be hypocrite.
The true characteristic of sincerity is
bluntness, and sincere man will never
have the back-ache.

"How dye do MIR. Jones-how dive

with more head than brains, to an old
glossy faced gentleman, who stood be-
hind pair of gold mounted specs,
and whose 10 ,omotion was assisted by
gold headed bamboo cane.
"Excuse me, my good s;r-excuse

the old man--s:l remember little
Tommy Kid, sure enough; and how
do you do now, Mr.. Goot?"
"Kid, sir, Kid, not Goat" said
Thomas, peevishly.
"Ah, true, you were kid then,

insult, Arnold, turning his eyes away
from the British Spy, salutes the In

The chief resumes: my brothers
who are many-their numbers are as

who sharpen their lancets, for the
scalps of the pale face; will ask the
Death Eagle to lead them on to the
towns of the pale faces; to burn, to
kill, till not single pale face is left
in the land.
'Try me! was the hoarse response
Of Arnold, given with knit brows;
and clenched hands. & l8a
'Then shall Death Eagle become
the chief of the red men'-said the
Indian-'But his pale face squaw

Then it vas that Arnold--who had
not embraced with a CLEAN of savage
delight, the proposition to become
the chief OF murderous tribe Of wild
Indians, felt his heart grow cold!
All! how he loved that wife!
Arnold who in his mad revenge,
was willing TO sweep the towns of the
whites with torch and knife, quailed
with the idea ofleaving behind that
fair young wife.

room with sneer on his dark face.

The HaDlest Masters.

--~-,-'-f
The senior editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate and Journal, says
that Northern men who become slavehol-
ders on speculation, are much more cruel
exacting towards the slaves than the native
Southern men, insomuch that if gold could
be squeezed out of the pores of his slaves,
he would employ a hydraulic press for that
purpose He is the terror of all slaves,
and despised by all southern masters.
The statement-accords with certain opin-
ions which we have long entertained,
and we think 1t not improbable that many
OF the reports of cruelty to slaves, are
made by the Identical authors of the most
altrocious acts of cruelty in that line.

mong farmers, have their principal manu-
factoryin Worcester. These gentlemen,
by adopting a liberal course of ADVERT

tensively known, in the manufacture OF
such implements; their orders not being
confined to the United States only, bu,
they extend TO the Oregon settlements on
the Columbia river, and to the East and
West Indies, South America, etc. One
instance is related as to the advantages of
advertising, as regards these gentlemen.
During the last season they received LETT
ter from gentleman residing in The East
Indies, enclosing printed copy of their
advertisement, cut from Boston paper,
at the same time enclosing draft for
$500, ordering quantity of agricultural
implements, seeds, elc., such as was speci.
fed in said advertisement, and to the
amount of the enclosed draft, saying thai
he had usually bought such things in Eng
land; but that the prices contained in their
advertisement being much less than The
English prices, he had been induced tc
change his order accordingly.-BOsto,

On fine summers day, clergy
man was called to preach in a town
in Indiana, to young Episcopal con-

forth a new creature, in almost an an.

With this the preacher closed his
discourse, but to deepen the impress
