The Buffalo Commercial is not very
complimentary 10 the lately invented
steam music, which isgraduated b.
horse-pow r. Ii says:
The Calliope is brazen machine. but
it discourses cast iron music; the notes OF
which strike against ones Uranium like
succession of four pound weights, or
the blows Of a sledge hammer. 1t is de-
monical music. To listen TO il in comfort
one should have leaden brains in a pig
iron skull, the whole backed in feather
beds: and even then the jar would be
dreadful.

KEEP The SABBATH, YOUNG MAN.

Keep the Sabbath and it will keep you
l. From all dangerous errors. These
abound in the world, are dlessed up in
every kind Of fascinating garb, and meet
young men everywhere. But the spirit
ual keeper of The Sabbath has a moral
coat of mail which these missiles canno,
penetrate.
9. From bad trains OF thought
Many give the reins 10 their thoughts,
and suffer their imaginations to drive the
car whenever they please, if it only be
the car Of pleasure. But the drive is
through regions of temptation, and to-
ward 'he frighlful precipice of ruin.
But faithful Sabbath keeping furnishes
better, ev, the best trains Of thoug ght.-
1t creates distaste for any other, and
is therefore most powerful safeguard
from all evil thou shts.
3. II will keep you from bad books.
You will have an appetite that will loaIhe
them; and .liscerument that will show
you that, though they may have their
fair colors, they have the venom tooth of
a serpent We have never seen Sab
bath kee. ing young man fond Of bal
books.
4. 1t will OF course keep you from
bad company. Your love ofthe Sabbath
will carry you. as a matter of course.
into the society Of those who have respect
unto all The commandments Of the Lprd
You will loose all sympathy with evil
doers. With the Sabbath IN your heart,
you cannot "walk in the course OF the
ungod y, nor stand in the way Of siuntrs,
nor ii. in the sea, of the scornful."
5. 1. will keep you from bad habits.
Bad trains Of thou 5ht, and bad books.
and bad company. ale very certain to
produce bad habits. But the sanctified
Sabbath, Ike The angel that guarded
Eden, wields flaming two-edsed sword
against them all Every hallOwed Sab
bath will help to confirm and fix the
power of all good trims OF thought, all
good books. and all virtuous habits.
6 1t will keep yOn in the path that
all the true and faithful servants of God
have trodden, which. being just, shine;h
more and more TO the p rfect day
Young man, are not these six reasons
enough TO bind your heart to the Sab
bath? You keep. and you are kept
Your honor, it honors you.- EvangeliSt. !

fount:in Of sweet water, and tasted on the
loin Of buck. He wSs no moro alone
than bee among flowers, but communed
flmilarly with the vhcle universe Of
life, Nature was his intimate, Ind as
the rcying woodsman leaned confdingly
on her bosom, she responded to his intell
gcncc.
For him the rocks and fountains, the
leaf and the blades Of grass, had life ; the
cooling air laden with the wild perfume,
came to him as a friend the dewy morn
ing wrapped him in its embrace; the trees
stood up gloriously around about him as SO
many myriads of companions All wore
the character Of design OF peril, But how
could he be afraid! Triumphng o7er dan
ger, he knew no fear. The perpetual howl
ing of the wolves by night round his cottage
or his bivouac in the brake, was his di-
version and By day he had JOY in sur
veying the various species CT animals that
surrounded him. He loved the solitude
better than the lowered city or the hum
business.
Near The end of July, 1770, his faithful
brother came back to meet him at the old
camp. Shortly after they proceeded TO
Cumberland river, giving names to the
different waters, and he then returned to
his wife and children, fixed in his purpose
at the risk of his life and fortune, TO bring
thom as soon as possible to live in Ken
tucky, which lie esteemed as second
Paradise.
