with mems souls, need we TO wonder that
the world is full of infidels, atheists, and
other unbelievers. Shame upon those who
are so much wrapt up in vanity, that they
cannot even forget self in the pulpit
Our prayer meetings too, are often infested
with this same vice. It is nothing uncommon
10 hear some Of those that lead in prayer, utter
every word In a tone which is not their own,
or give their voice such an unnatural twang
in singing, that the attention of all present is
fixed upon them. What strange infatuation,
for one to permit itself thus TO trile with
sacred things, in order to attract tAe ai,en.
tion of men. Methinks, whenever hear
such affected praying and singing, that see
the lip Of deity curl with honest scorn, at the
mockety.
The next division of the vain which have
made, also, comprehends the third, that is,
those who are desirious Of being applauded
for such qualities as are not real, but imagi-
nary, also, build air-castles. The young are
generally addicted 10 this kind of vanity
For, as soon as persons become somewhat
advanced in life once, they are not SO likely
to imagine themselves possessed of powers
which do not belong to them, since expert.
,ncs has placed before them, pretty exac1
picture of what they are. Still there are
ome who never learn; they are as vain and
,peculstive at middle life and in old age, a.
hey were at twelve and one and twenty. [
would seem, that such were constituted al
hey are, 10 help to make up the diversii,
which we find among men. A. L.

The Pine Tree Shilling.
by NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.

Captain John Hull was the mint mas
ter of Massachusetts, and coined all the
money that was made there He was in
"A new line of business. for, in the early
days of the colony, the current coinage
consisted of the gold and silver money
Of England, Portugal and Spain. These
coins being scarce, the people were often
forced TO barter their commodities in>
stead of selling them.
For instance, if man wanted to buy
a coat, he perhaps exchanged bear skin
for it, If he wished a barrel Of moass-
es, he might purchase it with pile Of
pine boards. Musket bullets were used
instead of farthings. The Indians had
a sort of money called wampum, which
was made of clam shells, and this strange
sort of specie was likewise taken in pay
ment of debts by the English settlers.
Bank bills had never been heard Of
There was not enough Of anykind, in
many parts of the country, TO pay their
ministers-so that they had sometimes
to take quintals of fish, bushels of corn,
or cords Of wood, instead of silver OF
gold.
As the people grew more numerous,
and their trade with one another increas
ed, the want Of current money was still
more sensibly felt. TO supply the de-
mand, the general court passed law fol
establishing a coinage of shillings, six
pences and three-pences. Captain Johr
Hull was appointed to manufacture the
money. and was to have about one shil
ling for every twenty, to pay him for his
trouble Of making them.
Hereupon, all the old silver in the col
ony was handed over TO Captain JOIN
Hull.
The bartered silver cans and tankards
| suppose, and silver buckles, and bro
ken spoons, and silver buttons of worT
out coats, and silver hIts of swords tha
had figured at court all such curlou
old articles were doubtless thrown int,
the pot together. But by far the great
est part of the silver consisted of bullioi
from the mines Of South America, whic
the English buccaneers (who were hui
better Than pirales) had taken from lh
Spaniards and brought to Massachusett;
All this old and new silver being melt
ed down aud coined, the result was al
immense amount of splendid shilling'
sixpences and lhreepences. Each ha

Egyptian Pyramids.

These great structures, while they excite
our wonder, present an impressive moral
lesson to mankind. Instead of proving the
greatness of kings possession to be envied,
they show its insulliciency to satisfy the de-
sires Of men, and consequently to render
them happy. Among the great there is a
continual longing of the Imagination, which
pfeys upon human life, and which employ
ment of some sort only can appease. An
Egyptian king, who has at command all that
his nature can crave Or enjoy, must have
new object TO excite. And after bis victo-
rles are won, and the aims of his glory and
his ambition are achieved, he experiences
the safety of dominions, and the ordinary
pleasures of life soon lose their charm. Van
ity however, is passion which it is difficult
to exhaust. And it is this which, after Oh
Jects Of utility had ceased 10 engage the in
tcrcSt of Egyptian monarchs in their height
Of power, led to the erection of the pvra-
mds. To rear proud and mighty struc~
'ure, which shall endure through all time. to
hand down in connection with it a name for
distant ages to wonder at and admire-to in
dulgc the consciousness of power by tread
ing on the PROSTATE necks of conquered
slaves, and TO amuse the tediousness of de-
clining lifc-thesc might have been the no.
tions which, apart from superstition, caused
these monuments 10 tower in their solitary
grandeur along the desert waste. Little did
they feel how these useless monuments but
serve to show the insuflic;ency of earthly
qualifications to satisfy the fathomlcss ambi-
ton of the man with vast power and trsa-
surcs at command-how they point the les
son, to DO content with moderate condi-
ton. since the magnifccnce of kings, and
perpetual qualification of their appettes and
desires only lead to safety, or to stimulate
their vanity and weak and worthless ambi
ton.-INe Ttco Worlds.

Destruction OF THE TEMPLE OF

Lexington.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

Slowly the mist DER the meadow was creeping
Bright on the dcwy buds gstcncd the sun,
When from his couch, while his children were
sleeping,
Rose the bold rebel and shouldcred his gun
Waving her golden veil
Over the silent dale,
Bliihc looked the morning on cottage and
spire.
flushed was his parting sigh,
While from his noble eye
Flashed the last spark of lbcrtys fire.
On the smooth green where the fresh leaf is
springinc,
Calmly the first born of glory have mcti
Hark the dcath-vollcy around them is ring
ing
Look with their lifc.blood the young gras,
is wet
Faint is the feeble breath,
Murmurng low in death,
Tell to our sons how their fathers have died :
Ncrvclcss the iron hand,
Raised for its native land,
Lies by the weapon that glcams at his side.
Over the hill sides the wild knol is tolling,
From their far hamlets the yeomanry come
As through the storm clouds the thur dcrJursi
rolling,
Circles the beat Of the mastering drum.
Fast on the soldiers path
Darkcn the waves of WRATH
Long have they gathered and loud shall they
fall;
Red gares the muskcts flash,
Sharp rings the rifles crash,
Blazing and Changing from tlicket and wall
Gaily the plume of the horsemAn was dancing,
Never to shadow the cold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war-steed was prancing,
Rccking and painting he droops on the rein )
Pale is the lip of scorn,
Voicclcss the trumpet horn,
Torn is the silken iringed red cross on high;
Many bcltcd breast
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have past by.
Snow girdled crags where the hoarsc wind is
raving,
Rocks where the weary foods murmur and
wall,
Wilds where the fern by the frrrow is waving,
Rcelcd with the echoes thai rode on the gale ;
Far as the tempest thrills
Over The darkcncd hills
Far as the sunshine streams over the plain.
Reused by the tyrant band,
Woke all the mighty land,
Grled for battle from mountain to main
Green be the graves where her martyrs are ly-
ing
Shroudless and ,omblcss they sunk to their
rest
While DER their ashes the starry fold flying
Wraps the proud eagle they reused from his
nest
Borne on her northern pine,
Long DER the foaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun
Heaven keep her ever free
Wide ns DER land and sea
Floats the fair emblem her heroes have won.

REVOLUTIONARY ANEcDoTE.-In the
year l77G, when Governor George Clinton
resided in Albany, there came a stranger to
his house, one cold winter morning, soon af-
ter the family had breakiasted. He was
welcomed by the household, and Hospitality
entertained. A breakfast was ordered, and
the governor, with his wife and daughter,
who were sitting before the fire employed ia
knitting, entered into conversation with
him about the affairs of the country, which
naturally led to the inquiry what was his oc-
cupAtion. The caution and hesitancy with
which the stranger replied, aroused the sus-
picion of the kcen-sighted Clinton. lie
communicated his suspicion 10 his wife and
daughter, who closely watched his every
word and action. Unconscious Of this, but
finding that he had fallen among enemies,
the stranger was seen to take something from
his pocket and swallow it. Madame Gin
ton, with the ready tact of those troublous
times, went quietly into the kitchen, ordered
hot coffee to be Immediately prepared, and
added to it a strong dose of tartar emefic.
The stranger, delighted with the smoking
beverage, parlook freely of it, and Madame
Clinton soon had the satisfaction of seeing
it produce the desired effect. True To
Scripture, "out of his own mouth he was
condemned" a silver bullet appeared, which,
upon examination, was unscrewed, and found
to contain an important despatch to Bur
goyne. The spy was tried, convicted and
executed, and the bullet is still preserved in
the family Charleston EceniHg Ne'cs.
