There they concealed themselves for menths, and
lived by what game they could capture in the

who met them at stated times. The 'Tory Pine

A Short Patent Sermon.


Old Lorenzo Dow was very sensible
reformer. He is said to have shown his
peculiar gool sense at one time, by
preaching the following excellent words
in behalf Of the printing fraternity:
"Perhaps it may not be amiss to re-
mind you of the printer in my discourse.
He is in very disagreable situation. He
trusts everybody. he knows not whom:
his money is scattered every where, and
he scarcely knows where to look for it.
His paper, his ink his type. his journey
mems labor, his labor, &C., must be
punctually paid for. You Mr.. -.
and you Mr. -, and hundred others
/ could name. have taken his paper. and
you and your children and your neigh
bors. have been informed and improved
by it. Ifyou miss one paper you think
hard Of your printer you would rather
be without your best meal than be depri-
we'd of your paper. Have you ever com
piled with the terms of your subscrip-
tons? Have you ever taken the pains to
furnish the printer with his money as he
has to furnish you with his paper? Have
you paid him for his type, and his press.
and his hands work? lfyou have not.

Mamma, wish lived away,
Away across the great big sea,
Where little heathen children play,
And then how happy l should lie!
I wish you'd been heather too,
And then we all could have some bread
And good, warm clothes for sister Sue,
And brother Willie, u ho is dead.
I'd go and find his little grave,
And tell him to come home again;
And bread and little shoes he'd have,
And he would thank his sister Jane.
And folks would come and see yon then
Mamma you look so sick aud pale;
And BRING some bread and butter, when
They heard my sisters dying wall.
Mamma. can't Christians bounties shed
Except on heathenS? Can't they give
To sister Sue and me some bread,
And let your little daughters live?
Iweut to church to-day and heard
The preacher for the heather pray;
But not the first imp ploring word
For hungIy little Christians say.
My little dress was worn ana thin,
o.. And sat shivering in the cold;
While other little girls put IN
The box, their shining sum of gold.
They told me that this was to buy
For little heathen girls some bread;
Obi mother, how wish that
Could be heathen and be fed.
They laughed at my old. faded dress,
And put on many naughty airs;
thought of God in my distress,
And hid my face. an, uttered prayers.
Mamma, shan't we be heathens, too,
So we can have some clothes and bread
and my little sister Sue,
And brother Willie, who is dead?
