VALUE AND ABUSE OF TIME.

What is time? A fragment broken off
from the endless vast, upon which Eternity
gazes with intense solicitude-an isolation,
Siugly poised upon the will of Omnipotence:
awaiting, with trembling anxiety, the NIGH
ty fiat which shall place it back again, with
all its attendant consequences, upon the
gloomy void whence it came. The peri
odical manifestation of an unassociated inte-
grail of mcasureless duration, separated for
a brief space from its original paternity,
and for purposes beyond the ken of mind,
placed in independent revolution. In ap-
p~liance, a drop of divine media, taken from
the fountains of Eternal grace, in which
glitters and CLOVIS, like the bow of promise
upon the bosom of the tempest, an illumina-
ted pathway, planted by the hand of Mercy,
for immortality's escape from the bondage
of sin and death. If, minutes properly val
ued, are gold drops upon the stream of Time,
wisdom gathers & improves--folly gazes and
neglects. And he who passes through life
without enriching the storehouse of his mind
with the glorious wealth thus placed within
his reach, goes not ouly a beggar to his
grave in the sight of men, but appears a
Pauper also in the presence of his God.

AN EDITOR NOTA GENTLEMAN.

Mocrancon, of the Dayton Transcript,
tells the following good one, as part of his
experience. He says:
We have travelled some 1900 miles
within the lastfew days by land & by water.
The tavern keepers steamboat Captains &C.,
&C., have uniformly chalked our hats and
Indignantly refused to permit us to pay our
way. In short, upon the raging canawl,
upon the expansive lake, in the packets, no.
tells, and floating palaces of Lake Erie, we
have had a "free blow" and have uniform
ly been regarded among the dead heads"
This you will regard as a very pleasant,
and certainly a very agreeable and advan-
tageous way of travelling. But there was
one s'free blow" we received which came
near knocking us into the middle of next
week. The incident is so comical that we
relate it, if the joke is at our expense:
While on board of ole of the splendid
steamers which ply between Buffalo and
Chicago, the fuz on our chin grew rather
longer than it was agreeable, and we repair
ed to the barber shop on board to have it
taken off. The fellow did it up in first style.
After he had combed and oiled our head,
brushed our clothes, and slicked us up fine,
we felt gratifed,-pulled out a dime and
profered it to him as a reward for his SER
vices. He drew himself up with consider
able pomposity-
81 understands" said he "dat you is an Edo
itor ?"
Well what of it! said we.
"We never charge editors %nofin," said
he.
"But my woody friend, said we, there are
agood many editors travelling now days, and
such iberality on your part will prove a
~ruinous business"
"Oh neber mind" said he, eve makes it
all up off de gemmen."
We incontinently sloped.

Printers devil said to the ink keg. |

The Existence Of a God.-"1he uni
verse burns with Deity. All nature seems
vocal to declare a Great First cause. The
mighty sun, as he pursues his never-ending
course, proclaims the greatness of an In
visible Being. The pale and silvery beams
of the sister orb, as she scatters the gloom
of night, seems to WOO men to acknowledge
this great truth. The countless hosts Of
stars, as they gem the heavens, like dia-
monds set in the coronet of darkness, all
declare that their lamps were lit at the
shrine of Divinity. The hoarse voices o.
the angry pillows, in their ceaseless rise
and fall, murmur that they evidence the
fact. The bone and muscle of every beast
Of the ield-the waving of the wing of
every bird of the air-the beauty of the
smallest insect which floats in the breeze
attests the solemn truth. Every tree, every
plant, every flower, alike witness the same
fact. Every thing is indelibly stamped
with the impress of Deity"

United States the Celebrated Brandreth Vegetable
Universal Pills, lie left them to stand or fall ny
their own merits. He made no ausion to any 9th.
er medicine; simple facts were stated, aud the fol-
lowing principle lad down as the BrandrethIan
Theory viz; that all local diseases, whether OF tho
stomach or bowels, enlargement OF the joints rheu-
matte affections, cutaneous eruptions. dyspepuc
complaints, or whatever other forms such local dis
eases puts on, were nothing more than so many
symptoms Of y dsordPred stale Of the constitution,
and that his pills which were discovered IN Eng.
land in 1851, were medicine that had the effect
Of restoring the constitution to health aud vigor
simply by removing all bad and acrimonious humofs
from the blood by the stomach aud bowels. The
American public have now made trial OF this med.
icnp Tor nearly ten years, and have found that the
medicine is not all humbug. The patronage DR..
BraEdreth daily experiences, proves that lhe medi'
cine gives universal satisfaction.
