strike against distinction in external appearance
and have raised a hall of defence.
Rehold ! Behold ! the mighty Lancaster Hall of j

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of
extending a love for the fine arts throughout the
United States, and to give encouragemeiit to Ar
tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi
viduals. Its promoters believe that these hrt-s can
never attain their due rank in this country (already
so far advanced in many of the other elements of
civilization) until adequate encouragement be given
to the highest efforts of the Painter and Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object,
ety has adopted the following
PLAN: j •
Philadelphia.

1. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a
member of the Art-Union for one year.
The money thus obtained is applied, first, to the
procuring of a large and costly Engravings from an
original American Picture, of which every, member
receives a copy ; and next, to the purchase of Pic
tures, Drawings, or other works of Art,!-with the
funds distributed by lot among the members for
that purpose.
Thus, for the sum of Five Dollars, every, member
is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone
the amount of his subscription) and the chance of
obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED
BY HIMSELF from any public exhibition. in the
United States.
For further particulars call at the Painting Room
of the undersigned, where can be seen a specimen
of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re
ceived for the same. A. ARMSTRONGS

Notice to Uistillers,
AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WHEREAS, I, Jacob Weitzel, of the city of
Lancaster, coppersmith, have received by let
ters Patent, recorded in the Patent office in the city
of Washington, certain useful improvements in the
construction of Stills, which improvements consist
of an additional tub, called a dr ; jlvng tub, which
is placed partly above the still, which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which ts pumped into
the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tub, where it is brought to a boiling state
before it is let into the still, which pipe is opened
or stopped when requisite by means of a plug made
of wood, copper, or any other material.
What I claim as my improvements are the above
described doubling tub and the plug by which the
beer passes from one tub to the other, or from the
tub into the still.
Having received information,amounting to proof,
that my patenj for the above described improve
ments has been violated by several distillers in this
county and in various other places, I hereby give
notice, that unless those persons who have made
use of my invention, or have it now in use, without
being authorized by me, come forward and make
full reparation for having infringed my patent right,
on or before the first day of March next, suit will
be instituted against all and every such person or
persons. JACOB WEITZEL.

PIETY
Though sweeping tempests wildly howl,
And bursting clouds with thunder roar;
Though Heav’ns fair face with anger scowl,
And liquid fire in torrents pour ;
Yet ’midst the scene, so awful drear,
The pious man may walk, nor fear.
For. well he knows the tempest’s wing
Is under God’s all just command ;
And e’en.the drop that drowns the aijt,
Is guided by his saving hand—
The thunder’s roar brings not despair,
Nor lightning’s fire, for God is there..
Bjßrtie whose mind is sore with sin,
Doth quickly fly to cow’r in dread,
Whilst the pursuing voice within
Cries “wretch conceal thy guilty head
And ev’ry clap bids him despair,
And ev’ry flash —for God is there 1
And when the ills of life approach,
He hopeless sinks beneath the load ;
But if the pious man’s oppress’d,
He flies for solace to his God :
Father of all, I ask n 9 more,
Than still to fear thee and adore.
FORGIVENESS
“ How beautifully falls
From human lips that blessed word Forgive ;
Forgiveness—’tis the attribute of God—
The sound which openoth heaven; renews again
Hopo’s halcyon halo o’er the waste of life.
Thrice happy he whose heart has been so schooled
In the meek lesson of humanity,
That lie can give it utterance ; it imparts
Celestial grandeur to the human soul,
And maketh man an angel.”
JftisceUaneous.
A Thought for Winter.
A bountiful harvest lias filled our barns with
grain, and Autumn has shed its rich fruits upim us
in profusion. All the productions of the earth,
which this season has so plentifully repaid the la
bors ol the husbandman, are gathered and garnered.
Already stern winter is upon us with his-frost, snow
and biting winds, and while we sit by the blazing
hearth listening to the storm, or wrapped in wool
and fur, dare the cold without, let us remember there
are those about us, upon whose unprotected bodies
that storm and cold fall in all their violence. Let
him who rises from the table where his inner man
has been comforted, think of the many who are at
that moment suffering from the gnawings of hunger.
These are the thoughts which must enter the minds
of every one, in whom is a spark of humanity. But
let not the thought pass unheeded, or turn into a
selfish congratulation ol your fortune. Look about
among your neighbors on whom the blessings of
Providence have not been bestowed with so liberal
a hand. See if there is not some one whom you
can bless, by the*bounty it is in your power to dis
tribute. Is there no family, whose supporter has
been prevented by the hand of disease from provi
ding against the approach of winter; where you
can shed gladness by a few bushels of potatoes or a
bag of grain, that will never be missed from your
full barns? A load of wood or coal, a joint of meat
when your fatted ox is killed may give comfort and
support to some neighbor and make you no poorer.
There are innumerable little, charities each of us
may dispense. Give then, and with no niggard
hand. God has not given us abundance to waste
in extravagance, or hoard in avarice; but that we
may mete out kindness toothers as he has to us.
But give not in an arrogant spirit that makes the
recipient feel his dependence. Give as friend gives
to a friend, and the sense of your kindness will come
with double force. Many refuse charity when ten
dered in an improper .manner, while they are in
woful want; for there is a feeling of pride in every
man’s bosom which revolts at the assumption of
superiority. Give then in thankfulness, that you
are able to give. Therfe is much good in small
things, and the loaf of bread you give to the starving
man may save him from the gallows. And it is
your duty to relieve the suffering. The time may
come when yourself will need the charities ol the
more fortunate. Besides there is a pleasure in being
able to give to the poor, an inward consciousness of
right that warms the heart and cherishes the better
feelings of our nature. The smallest act of charity
comes back upon the giver and makes his spirit
lighter. It is the true nature of man to be benev
olent.
“ The poorest poor
Long for some moments in a weary life,
When they can know and feel that they have been,
Themselves, the fathers and the dealers-out
Of some small blessings; have been kind to such,
As needed kindness,,for the single cause,
That we have all of us one human heart.*’
Domestic Life.
No man ever prospered in the world without the
consent and co-operation of his wife. If she unites
in mutual endeavors, or rewards his labor with an
endearing smile, with what spirit and perseverance
does he apply to his vocation; with what confidence
does he iesort to his merchandise or farm; ily over
land; sail upon the seas; meet difficulty and en
counter danger—if he knows that he is not spend
ing his strength in vain, but that his'labor will be
rewarded by the sweets of home! How delightful
it is to have a friend to cheer, and a companion to
soothe, the solitary hours of grief and pain! Sol
itude and disappointment enter into the history of
every man’s life; and he is but half provided lor his
voyage who finds but an associate for happy hours ,
while for his months of darkness and distress, no

Anecdote of Napoleon.
During the rapid sojourn that he made in Bel.
gium, in 1810, Napoleon, according to his habit,
went one morning, very plainly dressed, to walk in
the garden of Lacken Palace, accompanied by an
aid-de-camp, where he met ir young man who was
occupied in arranging some flowers. He was
pleased with the frank and prepossessing features
ot the young botanist, and began a conversation
with him. The young man, who was the son of
tiie head-gardener—had studied with great care
and economy the history of the vegetable world—
he could name without hesitation, the foreign and
complicated names that the over-learned have
given, often in so ridiculous a manner, to the most
graceful productions of nature. He spoke of the
Sedosanthe, the Aristoloche, the Ralioa, the Scer
oxilon, the Hydrochardee, and thousands of plants
with difficult names,.as another would have talked '
of spinach and parsley. He knew the nature and
property of each plant—in short, it was botany
personified, in a young man ol twenty-two.
‘•Are you comfortable in your situation here?"
says the Emperor, speaking with interest. “Yes>
sir,'’ replied the young artist, who was iar from
supposing the rank oi the person who interrogated
him. - I live in the midst of what I love, but lam
only an assistant to the head gardener." Napoleon
never disapproved of ambitious ideas.-’ He had re
marked in the young florist his profound study, and
the interest he look in his proiession. “ What
would you like'*" says he. “Oh," ■said the young
Belgian, “what 1 would like is madness.’’ “But
still let me know," says the t Emperor. “It would
require a fairy to realise the dream that has often
occupied niy mind.'' ’1 am not a fairy.’* replied
Napoleon, smiling in his turn, “but I ath about
the person of the Emperor, and he could, if he
knew them, realize your wishes." “You are.too
good, sir," said the young man. “It is certain that
the Emperor could be the fairy that I wish lor, for
it all depends on him. During a journey that I
made for my instruction, I saw in France the gar
dens of Malmaison, with its eleven bridges and
Turkish Kiosks, The Emperor, I understand, has
given this charming place to Josephine—if a fairy
were hero, I would ask for nothing more than to
be head gardener to Josephine. You see how
modest I am.” “ I will think of it," says the Em
peror, almost betraying his incognito, “ but do not
despair of fairy love:" and after some
versation with the young botanist, Napoleon with
drew. He left Brussels on the morrow, o
During the two months that followed this con
versation, the young gardener could scarcely think
of anything but the wand of a fairy and the place
of head gardener, when one day he received a sealed
packet with the arms of the Empress Josephine
upon it: it contained his nomination to the post he
had so much wished for. He hastened to the spot,
and was very soon introduced to the fairy of Lac ken
that man who forgot nothing , and in whom he only
recognized the Emperor, to express to him almost
a species of adoration.
He still occupied the post of first botanist at
Malmaison, when the Empress Josephine died.—

ready to lly. When 1 came one morning, I found
them all cut up into quarters. The grass around

Fatality of Ancient Author*.
Anacreon, the lyric poet, was choked to death,
by the fruit of the vine. Archilorus was murdered
by a banditti. CVero perished under the proscrip
tion of the triumvirate. (Tatinus, a comic writer,
was drowned. Demosthenes, the glory of his age
anil of the world, killed himself with poison, which
he always carried about him in a quill. Euripi
des, the tragic poet, and Heraclitus, the philosopher
were lorn to pieces by dogs. .Empedocles, the poet
and philosopher, was lost in the crater of Mount
it’tna. Hesiod, the ' cotemporary of Homer, was
murdered by his secret and inveterate enemies.—
Julius Ceasar Jell by the sword of conspirators.
Longinus was sacrificed to the fury of the Roman
soldiers. Lucretius, writing under the delirium of
a philosopher, destroyed himself through its effects.
Orpheus, who touched the lyre with such hallowed
hands, that made the rivers cease to flow, the beasts
of the forest to forget their savage nature, and the
mountains to listen to his song, was torn in pieces
by some Thracian women. Pliny, the elder, was
suffocated by the sutphuVous vapor of Mount Ve
suvius. Sappho, in a lit of disappointed love, threw
herself from a precipice. Seneca and Lucan, both
condemned to death by the tyrant Nero, opened
their veins and expired repeating their own verses.
Socrates, with stoical iortitndc met his death in a
cup of hemlock. Tacitus is supposed to have died
by the dagger of an assassin, and Theocritus, ad

was strangled.
Every One for Himself,
As the passengers of a stage were about to dine
at the Stage House, one of the guests took up the
pepperbox’from a castor, and nicely sifted it over
a fine piece of roasted tyeef. A French gentleman
observing it, deliberately took his snuff box from
his pocket, and besprinkled its contents likewise
over the same piece of -beef. “ Sir,*’ said the first
party, “what do you mean? 1 ' “Why, sar, I sup
pose sar, you love de pepper, I love de snuff” The
table were thrown into a roar, and willingly, con
sented to commute their roasted beef, for the amuse^
meat the manner of its loss occasioned.
Tbe Eleventh Commandment.
Some years since a clergyman being on a journey
stopped one Saturday night at a village, with a
view of spending the Sabbath with the minister,
who invited him to preach. The stranger requested,
as preparatory to his discourse, an' account of the
state of his society, and was informed that it was
divided in sentiment, that jealousy, discord aud ha
tred prevailed, and that many were displeased with
the minister, who had in vain used every effort to
bring them to a sense .of their duty.
He then retired to his study, aud nothing further
was said till oh their way to church, when the
stranger was asked from what text he intended to
preach—“l think,” said he, “I shall preach from
the eleventh commandment.” “The eleventh com
mandment !" replied the other in surprise, “ there
are but ten."
“ I rather think," returned the stranger, “ 1 shall
preach from the Eleventh.''
This reply, and his persisting in it, almost deter
mined the other to request his silence; he concluded
however, to let him proceed. He began his exer
cises with that ardor and zeal which clearly proved
him*to be a man of sound judgment, and "deep pen
etration of thought. His prayer was appropriate,
solemn and impressive, and the mystery was un
veiled when he pronounced the following text: —
u JI neiv commandment I give unto you , that'.'ye love
one another." He urged the necessity of brotherly
love and Christian meekness, with much fervency
and zeal, so clearly pointed out their beneficial in
fluence on society, and so forcibly contrasted these
virtues and their effects, that he fully convinced
them of their errors, and restored them to harmony
and friendship.
General Washington.
The following note was found among the papers
of Lord Erskine, and shews how highly he estima
ted the character of our illustrious Countryman.
The strong expression of such a man as Erskine;
a man who was familiar with polished life, and in
timate with the highest dignities of the age, that
Washington was the “only human being for
whom he ever felt an awful reverence proves how
deeply sensible he was, of his great superiority
over every other man, in character, talents and
moral worth. What a gratifying compliment to an
American, when he reflects that this great and ven
erable man, to whose memory the civilized world
pays the voluntary homage of its profound respect,
but a few- years before that remark was made,
was branded by the British government with the
name of rebel, and a price set upon his illustrious
head!
“2b General Washington:
“ Srn—l have taken the liberty to introduce your
august and immortal name, in a short sentence,
which is to be found in the book I sent yon.
“I have a large acquaintance amongst the most
valuable and exalted classes of men, bnt you are
the only human being, for whom 1 ever felt an
awful reverence.
“ I sincerely pray God to grant a long
evening, to a life so gloriously devoted to the uni ;
vcrsal happiness of the world.
“London, March 10th, 1797,
lie iia<l her there!
A very respectable, locking lady stepped into a
store on Washington street, a few days ago, to buy
a steel reticule; the clerk handed out a variety of
all sorts,’sizes, and prices, of which the lady delib
erately viewed, handled and commented upon; until
at length having made her selection of a small oiie,
$•2,00, she gave the clerk a ten dollar note to deduct
that amount: the clerk went to the desk, and re
turning, gave the latter change.
Why, here’s but two dollars and a half!" says
she.
“ Exactly, madam,” replied the clerk. ■
“ Well, but I gave you a ten dollar bill, sir !"
•• Precisely madam,” said the polite clerk.
“This bag is two dollars and a half, is it not?”
says the lady, holding forth the purchased reticule.
“ Two dollars and a half is the price, madam.”
“ Then why do you take out seven dollars and a
half sir?”
“Why madam, this reticule is two dollars and a
half—”
“Very well, sir," says the lady.
“And that one attached to your dress, beneath
your cardinal is five dollars more!" said the com
plaisant clerk, raising tip the lady’s cardinal and
displaying a very handsome steel bead reticule, there
secreted. The lady became quite agitated, but the
humane clerk her it was all perfectly
right.
“ You don’t for a moment suppose, sir ?” said the
lady, in a low and husky voice “that I intended- 1 -”
“O! certainly not, madam!" said the clerk.
“O. its all right, madam, perfectly correct," con
tinued the clerk.
“Good morning, sir," said the lady bowing and
grinning a ghastly-smile.
“Good morning,” responded the gentlemanly clerk,
-bowing the lady safely off out of the premises.

Repose denies her requiem to his name,
And folly loves the martyrdom of fame.

Rehold the host, delighting to deprave,

Half to the ardor its birth bestows;

Mr. Quincy, Mayor .of Boston, in dedicating a

ing language
“If but once in a century, a little being should
be sent into this world, of the most delicate and
beautiful structure, and we were told that a won

of unlimited expansion and happiness—capable of
being associated with an'gels and becoming the

growing up in enmity against Him and incurring
certain misery, would any expense of education
which would contribute to save from such misery
and elevate to such happiness, be too much ? But
instead of one such little being, twenty-five thous

And soap was created for washing.

How to be Happy. —Do all the good you can.
Whenever-you hear of a poor widow, orphan child,
or aged man who is in affliction, pay that individual
a visit. Do not hoard up all you earn ; cer
tain portion of your property to the poor. Never
get angry. If you are slandered or imposed upon,
better sutler a little, than to retaliate and use harsh
language. Be not proud 0 and selfish. Think no
more highly of yourself amfyour talents than you
do of the capacities of others. Pay all you owe.
Keep out of debt. Get not entangled in the meshes
of the law ; avoid it as the sure gate to ruin. Shun
vicious pursuits and unprincipled associates. Honor
the Sabbath, serve God, and be devoted to truth and
religion. Finally, take some useful paper, pay for
it in advance, and read it attentively ; anil our word
for it, you will be happy. Peace and contentment
will smile in your path, joy dance on your counte
nance, and every day of life before you will be
fraught with blessings rich and abundant.
A Sentiment. —The following was one of the
regular toasts given at the anniversary of the Mass
achusetts Horticultural Society:
When Admiral Sir George Rooke was making
his will, some friends who were present, expressed
their surprise that hehad not moretoleave. “Why,”
said the worthy veteran, “ I do not leave much, but
what Ido leave was honestly acquired—it never
cost a sailor a tear, nor my country a farthing. 1 ’
Horne Tooke used to say, that law, in his opin
ion, ought not to be a luxury for the rich, but a
remedy, to be easily, speedily, and cheaply obtained
by the poor. When told that the courts of justice
“were opened to all," he replied, “and so is the
London Tavern, to such as can pay for the enter
tainment."
