Mr.. EDl Tori wish to notice habit
quite preyalen. in this city. 1t is that of
going to church for the purpose of taking
comfortable snoose, during divine SER
vice. This miserable and sinful prac-
tice is quite fashionable, and followed OK
tensively by certain ladies and gentlemen,
especially some who attend the Metho-
dist and Congregational churches. Min
listers are remiss in their duty, when they
permit their members to sleep in Church.
The example oil sleeping during preach
ing, is a bad one. The Sections should
prepare themselves each with two long
reeds-upon the end of one, fasten a
ball, and on the end Of the other tie q
bunch Of Ostrich feathers, or Coon's
tail--use the former by tapping sleeping
gentlemen on the head, and the latter
should be used for the benefit Of doing
ladies, by gently brushing their faces
By pursuing this plan 4 few Sabbaths the
filthy practice would be discountenanccd

LAND WARRANTS,

Mrs. ED1roR:-As public attention is
now, to some extent, turned toward the
subject Of entering public land with Sol

to the following questions would obige
many Of your readers.
1st. On what terms may warrants be

in answer to the above Undergraduates,
we may say, that warrants can be OBJ
tanned for cash, or on time; the land upon
which you l,ave made improvements,
you can enter with warrant; the certi-
ficate or patent will be made OUT in the
name Of the person that locates Any

we may be permitted 10
offer word in Justification Of ourself, as
Indirectly connected with the subject mat
ter involved in it. While absent from
our post, a few weeks since, the poem in
question wasleft at our office for publ
cation, and the gentleman acting for us
during our absence, handed it tolhe com
posi.or to be put in type, but it was mis-
laid, and lost. This came 10 our knowl-
edge two days since. We regret that
such an occurrence should have happened
especially SO, as the article, we under
stand, possessed a degree of merit beyond
the ordinary standard. We can only say,
in mitigation Of a neglect not ours, but
for which we hold ourself accountable al
all times, that we shall be highly pleased
', 10 give the said article a conspicuous in
scrtion in our columns, and any others
which the author may feel disposed to
contribute. ..saE &c.,.

last No. of that paper, we observe series
Of verses, the two first of which the writer
can only claim conscienciously as the etiu

editor Of that sheet in the true spirit of en-
quiry. ifhe feels justified in making so lib
eral use Of others writings, as to manglt
and murdcr their compositions to suit his
own peculiar poetical ideas OF language and
measure! Contributors to the columns Of
newspapers do not expect that their p:ocuc-
tons will he wholly revised and altered by
the Editor, con]oined with the substitution
and addition of IDEAS, independent of, and
without the knowledge Of themselves.
the three last verses struck him very forci
bly, as being eAceptionabe, he should have
suppressed all instead of foisting in opggey
ct Of his own invention, and substtut ing
IDEAS Of q non-come- at a-ble character, ant
then palmng them off on the public as the
resultro of the labors Of ''Anonymous BE
