EXTENSION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.-As
we believe that there is no language used on
earth that contains so many books in every de-
partment of science, literature and religion, and
no language used by SO many religious, bene-
violent, free and earnest men-earnest IN every
thing pertainng to the best welfare of the race
SO we are grati6ed to muse upon the extent
tn which this language is now used. and upon
the continual spread OF 1t among the nations.
Besides being the good old mother tongue OF
the British isles and of the United States, 1t is
used all over the immense and widely extended
colonies of the British crown in North America.
1t is the language Of the larger portion OF the
West India islands. 1t is spoken i'll all the
countries of commercial activity in every part
of South America. 1t is the sole language OF
the infant nations Of Australia, New Zealand
and Van Diemen's Land. And, by the activi-
ties of American and English commerce and
missionary enterprises, it seems destined to
spread among the countless Pacific isles. Il
prevails along the coast of eastern and western
Africa. and is moving upwards from the cape
of Good Hope into the most central regions ol
that continent can along the Egyptian high
way to Asia it is a familiar sound" The most
active and influential of the native population
of India, from cape Comorin to the Himalaya
mountains, are zealousIy engaged in acqulringlt It
Il is one Of the everyday used dialects in five
of the most populops and commercial ports oi
China. And recent treaties, and the already
opening commerce of England and America. is
making it familiar to the ears Of the dwellers IN
the populous islands of Japan. All these facts
indicate the continual progress of the Eng llsl1
language among the nations; and 1t certainly
seems destined to be spoken and used py
Iarger number Of the human family than any
other language And as these two things are
true, first, that this language contains more re-
ligious literature than any other language, and
second, this kind of Of literature is sure to g(
wherever the language goes, therefore we tool
with great satisfaction on the wider and widel
snread of our mother tongue among the nations

SAVED BY A TIGHT SQUEEzE.-There lived
lately in one of the mountainous counties of
western Virginia many Dutchmen, and among
them one named Henry Snyder; and there were
likewise two brothers, called George and Jake
Fulwiler-lhey were all rich, and each owned
a mill Henry Snyder was subject to fits of de-
rangement, but they were not of such nature
as to render him dsagreeable to any one. He
merely conceived himself to be the supreme Ru
Ter of the universe; and while under the infatu
alton, had himself throne built on which he
sat to try the cause of all who offended hira,
and passed them off to heaven OF hell, as his
humor prompted-he personating both judge
and cuIprit.
1t happened one day that some difficulty &C.
Cured between Henry Snyder and the Fulwi-
lers, on account of their mills, when, to be re-
venged, Henry Snyder took along with him a
book in which he recorded his judgments, and
mounted his throne to try their cases. He was
heard to pass the following judgments:
Having prepared himself (acting as judge
and yet responding for the accused) he called
George Fulwiler.
"Sborge FulwiIer, stand up. What hash
you been doing in the lower world"
.Ah, Lort, | does not know

"Well den, Shorge Fulwiler, you must &c

''Wel. Shake Fulwier, now you stand up

TThe trial proceeded throughout precisely
like the former, and with the same result.

REVIVAL AMONG THE ScouNDRELs- Conf
dence Cassidy, who has recently come to life
again, prints long article directed against the
common practice Of spending money on cleo
tons. The chief reason for this outburst may
be found in the fact that the Albany Regency
could not get any money to spend during the
late canvass in this State, and therefore Cassidy
and several other political editors have sud
denly ascertained that it is very wicked and
very wrong to usc money for electioneering
purposes. They advocate the passage of laws
