Student, do YOU see this?

Are you accustomed to read in the great
book of nature? Are you wont to search
among the archives of natural phenomena
for knowledge? Do you behold beauty,
real, not ideal beauty, as you gaze on tree,
plant, and flower?
Do you see beauty as you look upon the
rose in bloom? are its petals crowned with
perfection, it's corolla wonderfully formed ?
Do you see beauty as you raise your eyes
and survey the vaulted heavens, the dia-
mond stars studding the concave curtains
of the sky, and the silver moon dispensing
her borrowed light on these sublunary
scenes
/ say do these objects of sense awake one
thought in your soul worthy of reflection
If SO, stop and think: Soliloauize: ]

immortal, ever acting, ever existing princi
pie. Here | exist. The Great Artifce

In my hands my Maker has placed tn
Touch-stone of Truth, and within my reacl
the Key of Science, which unlocks tn
principles of nature. Let me resolve fo
once to leave the ideal world, to look aroun
me and upward. Is there beauty in tn
earth? Yes. And methinks I see littl
converging rays from these beauteous Oh
jects all concentrating in the great fount {
all beauty, excellence and perfection.
Then let me say to you, Student, whe
you look out upon the world-think! !
When you look upward into the vaulte

My attention has been arrested by an
advertisement in some of the papers, which
gives notice that the Governor of the State
has appointed the oath Inst. as a day of
public thanksgiving &c. to the Most High
for the blessings bestowed upon us. Pub
lie meetings have often been held to pray
for rain. Public fasts have been proclaimed
and held and thousands of prayers pro-
nounced to stay the ravages of dread pesti-
lences and dire famines. Political and
Christina efforts long and strenuous have
been made to arrest the evils of wars, &c.
But pestilence, a scourgc, more awful in
its ultimate, if not its immediate consequen.
ces as well, that has produced and daily is
producing by far, more shame, misery, pov.
erty, and deaths, temporal and eternal, than
all the others combined, has been suffered
to prosecute its march without opposition

The Virtue of Ventriloquism. ;
OR, MICK MURPHY AND THE GHOST

OR, MICK MURPHY AND THE GHOST.
An incident occurred in the hotel of one
of the picturesque marine villages which
skirt Lake Ponchartrain, on certain oc-
casion last summer, that effectually served
to dispel the listless eaysui too prevalent in
such cases.
Among the guests there, for the time be-
ing, was one Michael Murphy, an eccentric,
good-natured soul, from what used to be,
par excellence, the land of potatoes, but
which now may be called the potato-less
land. He had been on big bust in the
city and went over the lake to dispel the
fumes of his debauch and to take salt baths
and saltwater at the same time, for
Gin sooth he was shameless wight,
Sore given to revel and ungody glee;
Few earthly things found favor in his sight,
Save concubine and carnal companie,
And Haunting with sailors of high andlow degree"
All this became known to a ventriloquist,
who paid flying visit to the place, and
who had such command over his voice that
he could make it do anything, from the
squeaking of pig under the gate, to the
singing of mocking bird. Believing that
Michael was just about that time in an i'm
pressive state, in reformatory mood, he
thought he would, through the medium of
his art, endeavor to effect change in his
morals. With this view he booked his
name for bed in the same room with Mi.
chael, and, about twelve o'clock at night
that hour the superstitious mind has Sc
fraught with terrors-he pitched his voice
outside of the door, saying, in kind of from.

Michael Murphy! Michael Murphy

who's that p said Michael, much star
tied at the sepulchral tone in which tn
query was put and the time of putting it

cent.

Michael, that can be heard and not seen.

Michael.
Nothing, said the voice.

Honor bright said the voice. You

'Then I'm off, said the voice, 'but re-
member, if you ever attempt to break it, I'll
be present and punish you through life
'Who is that with whom you are hold

speaking again from the bed.

some mighty polite, invisible gentleman,

Observation-Disclosures III.

PROPHET HOSEA COMFORTETH BILLY.
Now when Billy was brought into the
land Of Nod, and had crawed out of the
barrel in which he was transported, behold
he was exceeding thirsty, because he could
get no whiSkey or brandy wherewith to cool
his parched lips.
2. And he rent his garments from about
him, and covered himself with sackcIoth and
ashes, and bowed himself down into the
dust and bewailed himself with great la
mentation SAYING,
8. Wo is me! would that | had never
been born o Bacchus! why hast thou
forsaken me and left me here to die of thirst
O thou merry God ! why lookest thou down
and mockest at me in my affections?
4. O that had fell in battle by the sword
of Philip! I had not then teen eft to die
of thirst in this dreary land. And when be
had ceased to weep behold he fell asleep.
5. And it came to pass while he slept, tha
Bacchus appeared unto him in dream say
ing: Arise Billy and be of good comfor
for behold have raised up unto our people
a prophet. whose name is Hosea.
8. Arise therefore and 90 thou over int
the land of Anson, and it shall come to pas
as thou goest from Brown Creek up into tn
mountains, that there shall come out to NEE
thee man having bottle in one hand an
a Bible in the other.
Z. And when thou seest him thou sha
bow thyself down before him and salute hin
for he is my prophet; enquire therefore
him co corning the armies of my servar
| King Alcohol.
g. Now when Billy awoke he arose an
passed over into the land of Anson. and
came to pass as he journeyed from Brow
Creek up toward the mountains that thel
came out man to meet him having, as W;
foretold by Bacchus, bottle in one har
and Bible in the other.
g. Therefore when Billy saw him he kne
for certainty that this was the prophet
whom Bacchus spoke, and ne fell down
his feet and saluted him saying
10. Thus saith our god, even Bacchl
(who appeared unto me in dream while
slept ic the land of Nod } Arise and !
over into the land of Anson, for there ha
| raised up unto our people prophet who
name is Hosea, enquire therefore Of him &C
corning the armies of my servant Alcohol.
