ny BISHOP TAYLOR.

God has sent some angels into the world,
whose office is To- refresh the sorrow of the
poor, and to enlighten the eyes of the dis
consolate. And what greater pleasure can
we have, than that we should bring JOY to
our brother; that thetongue should be tuned
with heavenly accents, and make the weary
soul listen for light and ease md when he
perccives that there is such a thing in the
world, and in the order of things, as comfort
and Joy, to begin to break out from the prls.
on Of his sorrows at the door of sighs and
tears, and BY little begin to melt into show
ers and refreshments This is glory to thy
voice and employment fit for the brightest
angel.
So Ihave seen the sun kiss the frozen earth
which was bound up with the images of
death and the colder breath Of the north /;
and then the waters break from their enclo-
sure, and melt-wiih joy, and run in useful
channels, and flies do, rise again from their
little graves in walls, and dance awhile III
the air 10 tell that Joy is within and that the
great mother of creatures will open the stock
of new refreshment, become useful to man
kind, aud sing praises to tile Redecmcr; SO
is the heart of a sorrowful n1an under the
discourse Of wise comfort; breaks from the
despair of the grave and the letters and
chains of sorrow--he blesses God and he
bIesscs thee, and he feels his life rctarnng;
for to be miserable is death, but nothing is
life but the comforter. God is pleased with
no music below SO much rs the thanksgiving
song of relieved widows, and supported or.
phans, of rejoicing, comfortcd and 'hankful
persons. Gent

MODE OF PRESERVING sHrNGLEs ON ROOFS.

gentleman III Sroton, gave uS III.
other day the manner in which he ed
his shingles before he laid them OH his
house, some six years ago; and on exami.
nation, we found they had perfectly sound
appearance, rs though they had not been
laid more than month.
He had large boiler which he filled
with whitewash, mixing with it about one
pound of potash to four gallons of liquid,
also about the same amount of salt. This
composition he boiled, and while it was
boiling, he dipped the shingles in, taking a
handful at time, and holding them by the
tips. He had boards placed so that he
could set his shingles on them on end and
let the liquid, as it run off them. run back
again into the boiler. The shingles lie al
lowed to dry in this position before laying
them, as his belief was, that by thus curing
or hardening them, they would last much
longer. They could be colored red or
yellow, easily by mixing red or yellow
ochre with the composition.
The expense for suilgles on root, is
very considerable, MS the most of those
which we buy now unless, we go to very
high price in purchasing, last but few
years, and therefore something that will
harden and preserve them like the above,
and which costs but little in the application,
will he thankfully received by owners of
buildings.-SpindIe City.
OATs.-This is large and valuable crop
at the South, and we predict, from our
knowledge of the scarcity of corn, never
was looked to with more interest than ut
this harvest. Not much instruction will be
required for saving them. Those intended
to be cut up and fed, ought to be cut before
fully ripe. The grain wastes less in haul
ing, the straw cures sweet, and the grain is
not much less nutrlious.-lhose for seed
should be quite ripe before cutting, and
should he saved separately for that purpose.
1t is bad crop to get wet, as there is so
much shuck about the straw and grain, it is
difficult to dry. The best which can be
done is to watch The opportunity, and if pos
sible, avoid this difficulty by cutting and
putting up before rain. If the weather is
doubtful, you may bind into small sheaves
pretty soon after cutting, and before the
straw is fully dried, and then put dozen or
fifteen bundles into a shock or bunch, and
cover this with Il cap made by another sIleaf,
and The whole will dry in this situation, and
be toerably well protected against damage
from rain, until it can be put in better con.
dition.-Soil of the South.

A Gu1HEA-hancER THAN Gob.-Robert
Hall once wrote the word God on slip OF
paper, showed it to a friend, and asked
whether lie could see it. He replied Yes. ,
lie then covered the word with a guinea,
and again asked. can you see i'll" and
was answered, "No." He did tins to show
his friend how easy it is for the world to
shut out of the mind a sight and sense Of
God. A very small object placed imnlc-
diatcly before the eye will prevent it from
seeing the sun. This object thus placed,
does uot'extinguisll its light, nor destroy its
existence; it is still il, the heavens diflusing
its light through the whole solar system,
thong the eye, OF this solitary individual
does not see it. lie may imagine that the
object near his eyeis larger than the sum-,
hut still it is a very, small particle Of matter.
The love Of gold may SO ill the mind, that
there is no place Left in it for the great God
of the universe. Sin the view of such Il
nind, guinea il. larger than God. This
fact furnishes the following query: Docs

Gems Of ThovgM.-Disspatio softens the
soul so much that the most superficial employ.
ment becomes burden, and the slightest in'
| convenience an agony. The roses Of pleasure
| seldom last long enough to adorn the brow Of
him who plucks them, for they are the only
roses which do not retain their sweetness after
they have lost their beauty.
Help and give willingly when you have any.
thing, and think not the more Of yourself; and
if you have nothing, keep the cup of cold wa.
ter always at hand, and think not the less OF
yourself
Avarice in old age, says Cicero, is foolish; for
what can be more absurd than to increase our
provisions for the road, the nearer we approach
our journeys end.
IF half the pains were taken by some people
to perform the labor allotted them, that are ta-
ken by them to avoid it, we should hear much
less said about the troubles of life, and see
much more actually completed.
A sensible writer says, that to occupy ones
mind with matter that stands out in open an.
tagonism to common sense and all the princ-
Piles that guide US in The affairs of life, is to
trif1e with the faculties which the Creator has
given US for wiser and better purpose.
No reputation can be permanent which does
not spring from principle; and he who would
maintain good name should be mainly solici-
tous to maintain good character void of of
fence towards God and man.

these:

distinguished men, the only men capable of
giving consistency to its counsel and vigor to
its moyements-when it disowns its leaders
and representatives, and, for motives of tempo
rary advantage, crowns with highest honors, OBJ
scure men, it ceases in any respectable sense,
to be party, and becomes mere herd of
spoilsmen We have no ambition to labor in
