which is only sold for actual improvement. The result
has been, that within the past year, some three hundred
houses have been erected,. two mills, one steam, four

and a large number of other improvements, making it
a desirable and active place of business.

A SHORT PATENT SERMON,
Era
My text is contained in these words,
which most of you have probably seen
somewhere, dir 8 omewhere-erse :
"Pray, tell me how the devil was . drcesed."
"Clot he was In his Sunday's best
Ilis`COit was black, and his trousers blue,
itli a hole behind where his tell came Um)"
Mr HEARERS : The origin of this
notorious scamp—the devil—is wrap
! ped up in a great many thicknesses of
obscurity. AS to his paternity, it is
generally supposed that he never had
a father nor a mother, but is entirely"
self-made; for Which wonderful work
: manship he no fount, takes ,a vast
deal of credit to- himself. The
,firfit
we hear_oqiiia,lMper,royal ,highnesa,
he *as "sloshing about" in heaven, at
a terrible rate, and frightening thein
fant Cheribum into fits. He pretend
ed to be dissatisfied with the general
movement up there, bu t the throne
was his sole object; and, I may say,
he fought like the devil to reach it.—
He thought if he could only be king
of that extensive dominion for a few
miltisms of years, matters would be
so ptit :to rights that they would take
care of themselves for the balance of
eternity. So, he fought like a thresh
in„a-machine fbr the crown of glory; !
but, my brethren, he hadn't ammum
tion enough, hit rations wereshovt, his •
cause wasn't just—and the hosts of
the Lord too many for him. He was
cornered at last, and pitched over the
balcony ; and down, down he came,
ker-chunk, somewhere in the centre
of' the great Dismal Swamp. By that
disastrous fall, my brethren, he so in
jured hisfoot that it withered and turn
ed into a hoof, which he ,).exhibits ev- !
en to thin day, except when artfully
concealed by a nicely-polished calf
skin boot.
The first of this rascal's capers up
on. earth, my friends, was that of
transforming himself into a beautiful
garter snake, and so charming good
mother Eve that she oneday commit
ted a slight-misdemeanor, and forfei
ted her 'third' of Paradise—and away
went poor Adam's share, in the bar
gain. And I verily believe, that the
same old reptile holds a fascinating •
power over the fair sex at the present
time. His fidlen Greatness, my breth
ren, then put on a suitable rig of .as
bestos, and turned fireman--,riot one
the b'hoys, that run with big squirt
ing machine, but stm,h,:a 'fireman as is
employed upon a steamboat, to heave
in the . wood and keep the blazes up:
His great pyrotechnic establishment •
some,kcality best known to him
self; but with: which, I trust, you will I
become fully acquainted at some fu
ture period.
My brethren, when the devil comes
to town, now-a-days, he doffs his old
fire toggery, and dressses either in
flash style or assumes a more gentle
manly garb—seldomi, indeed, coming
irl course homespnn, or with a Seedy
:out, stogy boots and sooty shirt.—
Sometimes he may be seen strutting
along quite fancifully attired—with
coat of claret, vest •of buff, pants of
sky-blue, and hat and boots of ivory
polish; with three diamond studs and
a nugget in his bosom—and a gold '
watch-chain, large and strongenough
to tether a mad elephant; t, with
all these; there is a hole behind where
the tail comes through. Some
times, too, he appears in a mare
ie
spectable guise of plain black, with
moderately short, business-like hair,
and well-trimmed whiskers. In such
raiment he might readily be mistak
en for an unadulturated gentleman—
an influential and prominent Citizen.
—were it not that there is a hole be
hind, and the tail will work through.
And, brethren, I have even know the
scOundral to don the pontifical robe,
get into the pulpit and preach 'Christ,
and him crucificed,' a.t a salary per
annum that would crowd all the pie
ty out of your poor pastor in less
than a fornight from the date of the
first payment. I - couldn't possibly
have the handling of fib much money
and hold on to my religion. Yes,
brethren, I've seen the devil, in cleft:-
,
cal duds, holding forth to an admir
ing congregation in most eloquent
style, festooning the garden of heav
en with the rarest of exotics, and de
scribing hell as - a'hundred times hot
ter than he hiinself could ever make
it with a cargo of rosin, pitch and
canaphene. His nether ornament
was not visible while madly uttering
the :'words of truth and soberness'--
vet there was a hole behind for the'
tail to come through ; and the tip end
of it might he seen peeping from be
) neath his ecclesiastical cloak as he
walked in the highways, as proud as
a peacock and stiff as a roll of sole
leather. I have also seen his devil
)
snip at the bar. upon the bench, in
'QUI.' National Congress. At all these
places he has ever worn the dress of
a gentleman, but always slipped up
on the behaviour, and exposed the
hole behind where the tail came
through.

Aud. now, my unsuspecting young
sisters : beware of a gay charmer,
who pays a thousand compliments
and has as many more ready for an,

you about, but never thinks of matri

bloom of innocence—who plucks the
flower and leaves the tree to whither.
I say, beware of him, for he is the
very devil himself—tail or no tail.—
So mote it be.!,

THE WHITE PATIENT
There is a curious story on record
of some mysterious transactions re
ported to have taltien place in Paris in
by-gone times. If the reader's credu
lity should be staggered, and he 'be
disposed tuscondemn the tale as a
falsehood, let him in justice to its au
thor, recollect that in its Worse eon
struction, it can only; be denominated
a "white lie," and must be proportion
ally venial.
In the reign of Louis XV, de Isisse
was the fashionably surgeon of Paris.
One 'morning he received a note in
viting him to attend: in the Rue Pot
de Fer,
near the Luxembourg, at six
o'clock in the evening. This profes,
sional rendezvous, he of course
ed not to keep, when he was encoun
tered by a man who brought him to
the deur of a house at which the guide
knocked. The door, ite is usual 16
Paris, opened by 'a spring, demmuni
' eating with the porter's lodge, and Is
isse, when it again closed upon him,
was surprised to find himself alone,
and his conductor gone. After a
short interval, bower, the porter ap
peared, and desired him to mount
"eupremier." Obeying this order, he
opened the door of an ante-chamber,
which he found completely lined with
white. A very handsomely dressed
and well appointed lackey, white from
head to foot, well powdered and friz
zled, with a - white
,bav,
_to
.his hair,
'held two napkins, with which he
sisted on wiping Ississe's shoes.. The
surgeon in vain. observed that having ,
just left his shoes were not soiled.—
The lackey persisted remarking that I
the house was too clean to allow !
of this operation being, omitted.—'
From the cute-chamber, Ississe was
shown into a saloon, nurig like the an
te,-ebamber, With.white, where a sec-'
and lackey repeated the ceremony Of
wiping the shoes, who 'passed him in
to a third apartment in which the
walls, floor, bed; tables, chairs and ev
cry article of furniture were white.—
A tall figure in a white night-cap and
whita'reineieb.e,' and covered with a
white mask, was seated near the fire.
As soon as this phantom perceived the
surgeon, he cried in a hollow voice,
"I have the devil in my body"—aud
relapsed into profound silence, which
he continued for more than half an
hour, in which he amused himself by
drawing on and off six
. pairs of white
gloves which lay on a table . beside
him. 'siege was beside him: Isisse
was greatly alarmed, atthis extraor
dinary spectacle, Ap i Cat his own 're
ception; and his a'pprelfen - SiOns Were
stot diminished on li - receiving that
fire-arms were placed within the reach
of the white spectre. His feari be- ,
came - at length so excessive, that he ;
was obliged tb Sit down. By degrees '
however he gained sufficient courage
to ask, though in a trembling voice,
"What were Monsieurs commands ?"
To this the phantom replied, in a dry
cold tone, "As long as you. are
paid, What does that Signify toyon ?"
Another quarter of an hour's silence
then ensued, when at last the spectre
pulled a white bell,rope, and two ser
vants equipped in white, entered the
room. He then called for bandages,
and desired Ississe to take from him
five pounds of blood! The surgeon,
frightened Still more by the enor
mons blood letting thus called for
asked, in anxious tone, who had or
dered the remedy ?" "Myself" was
the short answer. In toe great a
trepidation to venture on the veinsof ,
the arm, Isisse begged to bleed from
the foot, and warm water was order
ed for the operation. Meantime -the !•
phantom took off a pair of the finest
white silk stockings, and then anoth
er pair, which was followed by oth
ers, until die reMoval. of the sixth
pair, discovered the most, beautiful
foot and an de imaginable, and almost
convinced Isisse that his patient was'
a woman. The vein was opened;
and at the second cup . ,the phantom
fainted. Isisse therefore was pro- !
cecding to take off the mask, but he
was cagerly,,prevented by the attend- i
ants. The foot was bound up, and
the white figure havin g recovered his
senses was put to bed; after which
o,e,..servants again left the rooth.-
hisse slowly
,advaneed towards the
fire, while be wiped his lancets; mak
ing many reflections Within himself
upon this strange adventure. All of
a sadden, on raising his head, he per
ceived
in the mirror, over the chim
ney-pieee, that the white figure Was
advancing tow arcis him on tip-toe.—
His alarm became still more violent
when with a single spring the terrific
spectre darted close to his side. In
stead, howeVer, of ofkring violence, as
his moveriients seemed to indicate, he
merely took from the chimney-piece,
five crowns, and gave them to the stir
goon, demanding at the same time if '
he was satisfied ? Isisse, who would
have made the same answer had he
received but five sous, replied that be
was. "Well then," said the spectre,
"begone,u . ,:bout your business." Isis
' se, as may be imagined, did not wait
' for a second order, but retreated, or
rather flew, as fast as his legs could
carryhini from the room. The two
servants who attended to light him
out cauld not conceal their smiles,
and Isisse, uri4la l to endure his situ
ation, inquired \AEU, was the meaning
of this pleasantry ? But their only re
ply was, "Are you not well paidl 7
Have you suffered any injury ?" And
.so saying they bowed him to his car
riage. Isisse was deterinined at'first
to conceal this adventure ; but be found
on the ensuing morning, that it was
already the amusement of the court
and- city, and he no longer made any

things which seem to offer a :chance
`Of concealing imperfections, and en
hancing or embellishing their natural

numerous follies and extravagance,
and given encouragement to a crowd
of charlatans, who have known how
to- speculate •upon a woman's anxiety

'and in rendering herself. worthy of
these, she Would.attain what the toi
lette, with ail its attendant mysteries,
is of itself insufficient to accomplish.
The loftier ambition to be admired
for the graces of the mind, more than
for those of the, person, would sug
gest the habitual praCtice of the soci

good temper, as. well as the earful cul

It is a responsible duty wom:in owes
to herself, as well as to her family an 14,1
society; to' render herself pleasing
and agreeable.. Her person claims a
certain 'degree of attention; she has
a right to study the art of dress, and
to avail herself of the legitimate ap
pliance for the improvement of her
appearance; but the most sertipulouS
attention to the toilet will never make
her sufficiently attractive to - be lovea

apparel will not compensate fOr a cold
heart; a glowing cheek does not.neu-, 1 .

soften the severity of an uncharitable
word.
Woman is happily endowed with
qualities of. 'a gentle and enduring na

dormant or run riot. She is eminent
ly qualified to be a worker of benevo--
lence-- . -an instigator of noble deeds;
let her not be what we are told some
sagacious sage defines her—"an ani

awake to hey own respon.sibilities,and
feel conscielis that her influence, well
intentioned, and wisely directed, is a
regenerating principle; that it is not
the well-dressed beauty, but the wo

of general admiration and individual
attachment—the inspiration of the

TRICK OF GARRICK'S
When Garrick was in Paris,.,Pre
ville, the celebrated French ac{iir, iii.
vited him to his villa, and bolt., in,
gay humor, he proposed to go in one
rlf; the hired coaches that regularly
plied between Paris and Versailles, on
which ioad Preville's house was situ
ated. ::!:
. . .
When they got in, c3ari.lek ertlered
the coachmen to drive on; but the
driver answered that he would as
soon as he got his compliment of four
passengers.
A caprice immediately seized Gar
rick. He determined to give his
brother player a specimen of his art.
While the coachman was attentively
looking out for passengers, Garrick
slipped out at the door, Went around
the coach, and by wonderful command
of counteance, palmed ; himself upon
the coachman as a strabger. This he
did twice and was admitted into the
coach each time as a fresh passenger
to the astonishment and admiration
of Preville. Garrick whipped out a
third time, and addressed himself to
the coachman, who said, in a surely
tone, that "be had gotjas compli
ment ;" he would have driven. o wi th
out him bad not Pre*ille called .Out
that iS the stranger appeared to be-a
very little man they would accommo
date the gentleman and make room
for him.
