Notice to Distillers,
AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
ITHEREAS, I, Jacob Weitzel, of the city of
y Lancaster, coppersmith, have received by let
ters Patent, recorded in the Patent office in the city
of Washington, certain useful improvements in the
construction orStills, which improvements consist
of an additional tub, called a dr itt;rig tub, which
is placed partly above , the still, it which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which is 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 patent 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.

From the Southern Sentinel.
THIS IS NOT OURAgST.
Earth thou art rich with varied scenes,
The beautiful and bright,
Which but to view our bosoms thrill
With strange yet sweet delight ;
But while we gaze, their beauties fade,
And with a sigh represt,
Our hearts respond the sacred truth,
" This earth is not our rest."
Look on the rainbow's brilliant arch,
Spann'd o'er the vault of blue,
Passing ere yet the 'ravished eye
Has traced each glowing hue.
Say, does the gorgeous bow awake
No sadness in thy breast
So vanish earthly pleasures all—
Oh this is not our rest."
And when the midnight sky is gemm'd
With many a spackling star,
How pants the spirit to explore
Each shining world afar!
How sink we from the fancied height,
Dejected and oppress'd,
Joined to this changeful world once more,
" This transitory rest."
They too, our lovely and beloved,
In whom we centre all
Our joys, and hopes, for whom we bear
This weary earthly thrall.
Ah ! where are they, in whose sweet smiles
Our hearts were once so blese , d,
Gor.e !—and in hopelessness we feel
" This cannot be our rest."
Oh ! is there not a purer clime,
Where naught shall fade away,
Where the freed soul shall rise and soar
Above each stellar ray;
Where friends with friends shall meet again
In raptures unrepressed
Then welcome earthly grief acrd pain—
" There is a brighter rest."
A MOTHER'S LOVE
There is none
In all this cold and hollow world, no fount
Of deep, strong deathless love, save that within
A mother's heart--It is but pride, wherewith
To his fair son the father's eye doth turn,
Watching his growth. Ay, on the boy he looks,
The bright glad creature springing in his path,
But as the heir of his great name, the young
And stately tree, whose rising strength ere long
Shall bear his trophies well=And is this love 7
This is SI-SN'S love!—Why marvel? YOU ne'en made
Your breast the pillow of his infancy,
While to the fulness of your heart's glad heavings
His fair cheek rose and fell ; and his bright hair
Waved softly to your breast! YOU ne'er kept watch
Beside him, till the last pale star had set,
And morn, all dazzling as in triumph broke
Oh your dim weary eyes; not YOURS the face
When early faded through fond care for him,
Flung o'er his sleeps, and duly as Heaven's light,
Was there to greet his wakening! You never
smoothed
His couch, ne'er sung him to his rosy rest,
Caught his least whisper, when his voice from yours
Had learned soft utterance: pressed your lips to his
With patient, vigilant, never wearied love!
No ! these are wort Ares tasks—ln these her youth,
And bloom of cheek, and buoyancy of heart,
Steal from her all unmarked ! •

Once on a time, and when the names of the fa
mous and infamous did not travel as far and as fast
as they do now, for mail-coaches were not then in
vented, a young north countryman tramped up to
London, with almost all his wardrobe on his back,
and his purse slenderly filled with guineas, but his
head full of learning, and what was better still, with
great intellectual powers of various kinds. He had
also self•derual, and unwearied industry; and at
length, after long toilsome days, and short nights,
he found himself suddenly raised into opulence,
consequence and fame, by the successful exertion
of his talents, and his scientific knowledge, assisted
no doubt by the fortunate circumstances which had
called them into action. But his health required
some relaxation ; and as his heart yearned towards
that mother who had been widowed during his
absence, and the brothers and sisters,' who were
grown, since he saw them, out of childhood into
maturity, he resolved to indulge himself in a visit
to his native mountains, and with an eager, impa
tient heart, he set off on his long journey. My
hero, whom I shall call William Deleval, was con
scious of his high reputation, and no doubt enjoyed
it ; but. when he first saw his native hills, and was
welcomed by his mother and his family, he felt
that there was a pleasure in the indulgence of nat
ural affection far beyond any enjoyment which
wealth could bestow; and while they hung round
his neck, and welcomed the long absent wanderer
home, the joys of family love banishedawhile from
his recollection she pleasures of gratified ambition.
He soon discovAred that his mother was wholly
ignorant what a celebrated person she had the honor
of entertaining ; and as he travelled without a ser
vant, and was as plainly dressed as a gentleman at
that time of 'day could venture to be, it was ,not
possible for her even to suspect that he was a man
of property; and when he produced some handsome
presents for herselfand sisters, she expressed her
fears that he had laid out more money than was
prudent ; " and though," added she, " I- know that
thou art well to do in the world, and can maintain
thyself, still, Willie dear, remember to take care of
the pence, and the pounds will take care of them
selves." Willie smiled complacently on this effu
sion of maternal prudence; but perhaps he could
not help being a little mortified at seeing that he
who was somebody in the world's opinion and es
teem, was a mere nobody in his mother's, compared
with her eldest son Robin, who looked after the
farm.; and as he had lost his powers of climbing,
running, wrestling, and breaking ponies, his youn
ger brothers and sisters thought him very inferior
to• themselves ; but as he was kind and generous,
and admired them for the abilities which he did not
possess, he was very soon their dear, dear Willie,
and they did not know how they ever should bear
to part with him again.
Things had gone well with his family, as well as
himself, during his long absence, for the father, a
weak, do-little man, as the phrase is, had been a
hindrance, rather than a help ; therefore his death
was rather an advantage to his survivors in a pe
cuniary point of view, and the mother and child
ren had, before Willie's arrival, increased both in
consequence and wealth, and were looked upon as
considerable farmers. William Deleval's arrival
was soon known amongst their'relations and friends;
and he was warmly welcomed as a young man
who had been so pains-taking and industriops, as
not for many
: years to require assistance from his
parents ; but this was of as far as they knekv, the
very height of Willie's excellence, for it was not in
• his nature to boast of himself; and he was content
ed to leave the discovery of what he really was, to
time, and what we call accident.
"Pray, mother '
"• said he, soon after his arrival,
" are Lord and Lady W at the castle?"
" No; bat they ax expected. I suppose they
live a great way from thee, Willie, and thou ar t
not likely to see them in London."
"I do not see them very often."
" No, my dear, I dare say not; they do not often
come in.the way of a-body like thee."
" Deleval smiled, but said nothing. On t he Sab
bath day following he went to church withhis
; and as he beheld them in their holiday attire,
and saw the respect which was paid to them by all
descriptions of personswhom they met in the church
yard,. he experienced the most heartfelt enjoyment;
and never during the service, probably, was his soul
more fervently, though humbly, offered up to his
Creator in thanksgiving and praise.
The next day one of his sisters came jumping
into the room and exclaimed, "Why, Willie! I
wonder what great man thou art like?"
"Indeed," replied he, his eyes involuntarily spark
ing, I believe I am no great man but, myself
Annie."
"Oh ! but thou must be, for a fine gentleman
stopped me in the road just now, and said, "Pray,
young lady, if I may be sold, did I not see a cele
brated man walking with you from church yester
day afternoon ?" "No, indeed sir," said I, "it was
only my brother; my brother Willie from London."
" What is that thou art saying?'' said a neighbor
present, who was that disagreeble thing, a banterer,
or a dealer in sarcastic flings, as the phrase is.
Annie repeated what she had said before ; poor
Deleval had to undergo, during the rest of the day,
the coarse jokes of this person, and those which it
provoked from others, on his" being taken for a
great man.
Well. well," said he at last impatiently, "per
haps I may one day be a great man myself."
Thee, Willie! Thee ! Well,
,to think of the
conceit of these Londoners! Thee a great man,
indeed!
" No, and I am sure I hope not," said his mother,
affectionately passing her hand over his face; "for
perhaps if thou wert a great man, Willie, thou
wouldst forget thy poor old mother!''
A most pleasing consciousness, accompanied by
a sort of choking feeling which impeded utterance,
forced the tears into the eyes of the affectionate son
as he held the caressing hand to his lips; at length
he articulated, in a hoarse voice, " Forget thee,
mother, never, never!"
The next morning Lord W called, but the
whole family were out: and when they returned,
Deleval was the only one of them who did not feel
surprised at the sight of the peer's card.
" Why, what does this mean?" said his mother
to the deaf old servant who had gone to the door;
" Lord W-never called here before."
"It was a call of civility, nodoubt," said Deleval.
" Pho, nonsense !" cried his mother, "he is too
proud to call on such as we."
"He asked for you, I am sure," said the deaf
servant.
" For me ! oh, I now know why he called ; he
wants to buy my grey poney, neighbor Norton
says, and that is what he called for ; but here is
our neighbor, I will ask him about it ;" and the
banterer mentioned before entered the room, on
which she immediately showed him Lord W—'s
card; adding, " Our Willie here thought he came to
call out of civility; but I told him I thought he
came about the poney."
" No doubt," replied banterer Norton, grinning
sarcastically at Deleval ; "but I suppose that con
ceited London gentleman thought he called upon
him."
"Perhaps I did," replied Deleval, giving way to
irresistible laughter, in which he was joined by the
banterer; but Deleval remembered tha proverb—
" Let those laugh who win ;" and he glltew he had
the laugh on his side, and that time would prove it
so. Nor did his incognito last long. The next
morning, just before Norton and the family were
sitting down to dinner, and while Deleval was de
vising means to get away unsuspected as soon as
dinner was over, to return Lord W—'s call, An
nie exclaimed, " Well, I declare if there be not that
fine gentleman that spoke to me coming up to the
door! And, before any one could express surprise,
the stranger was in the parlor, had announced him
self as Sir George L—, and, after sundry low
bows to Deleval, had muttered " proud to make his
acquaintance," &c., he requested to see him in anoth
er room, as he was the bearer of a message and
note from Lord W—.
Great, no doubt, was the surprise of Deleval's
family, and great the mortification of the ban
terer at this evident proof of Willie's being some
body, till the latter exclaimed, striking his hand
on the table, " I have it, I see how it is; this Sir
George Thingimmy is going to stand for the county
at the next election, and he takes Willie for the son
who has a vote ; aye, aye, and the fellow will be
coming grinning, and bowing and flattering to me
next, I suppose."
After a short conference, Sir George I,—
departed, and Deleval returned to his friends with
a lgok of mild benignity. "So, London, sir," said
Norton, "I suppose that line spark, with his bows
and speeches, came to ask your vote and interest at
the next election, taking you for the landholder
" No, sir," replied Deleval smiling, " he came to
offer his vote and interest to me, and it you please,
I will read aloud the note which he brought from
Lord W—."
Before his astonished auditors could reply, Dele
cal read as follows:
•‘llly dear sir :—I hope you will do us the favor
of dining with us to-morrow , but I lose no time
in assuring you that I find, with the greatest satis
faction, you will certainly be returned for the bor
ough of —, as soon as ever you show yourself ;
and Sir George L— will accompany you thither.
Parliament is the proper place for talent like yours.
I am, dear sir, your friend,
When Deleval had ceased to read, the silence,
caused no doubt by good and also partly bad feel
ings, remained a while unbroken ; while he was
absorbed in watching the emotions of his agitated
mother, who, at length, bursting into tears, and
throwing herself on his neck, exclaimed, "Oh ! Wil
lie, Willie, now then I see thou art alreadra great
man; and still a good man too, (blessed be He who
made and kept thee so!)—for thou has not forgot
ten thy poor old mother!"
Vicious forms of Speech and Com
position.
From Chtmbere Edinburgh Jourial
Few, even of the greatest writers, are so perfect
ly conversant with the anatomy of the English
language as to be free from occasional improprie
ties, far less can the mass of the people be expec
ted to avoid such errors in common speech. We
think that it is not impossible to write or speak
correctly, and it will be allowed that the greater
part of the vicious forms of speech and composi
tion might be prevented by a small degree of at
tention. We therefore submit a few corrections
of the more obvious blunders in general use, for the
purpose of putting every one on his guard.
Both, whether as numbers, or as a conjunction,
ought to be applied to no more than two objects of
sentences.
Whether, a similar remark applies to this word,
which in reality is a contraction of "which of the
either"—that is, which of the two- objects. Whe
ther is too frequently applied to three objects.
Couple, which simply implies the juncture of
two objects, cannot be properly used in reference to
separate objects. "A couple of shillings," for in
stance, is an error.
Neither, (or not either,) is only applicable to two
objects.
Every, and each, being singular ideas, ought
never to be used as plurals. The error of so using
them is very common.
Ate, is the proper preterite of eat. Eat is now
generally used as the preterite—a vulgar mistake.
arising from the pronunciation. Sir Walter Scott,
who was nearly the most careless writer of the day,
and whose writings abound in provincialisms, uses
eat, as the preterite. •
Bade, is the proper preterite of bid. Bid is often
used as the preterite, an error similar to that just
alluded to.
Lay, is the proper preterite of lie. It is also the
present of a verb, signifying to deposit. Care
ought to be taken not to use it as the present of
the former verb, which is often done. •
- .
Bidden, ridden, written, spoke*, are the pastparti
ciples,' of bid, ride, speak. Wt! often hear people
say, "He was spoke to," "I 13 aye wrote to him."
" Eclipse was rode by Jenkins." Nothing could
be more vulgarly erroneous.
Drunk, is the proper past particleof drink. Fas
tidious people have lately got into a way of saying,
"His health was drank" Drank is the preterite,
and cannot be thusused without a palpable fracture
of the skull of Priacian.
Don't, won't and. can't, though admitted as colo
quiet English, are not good contractions. We
could forgive them, however, if people would avoid
using' don't in . the third person, singular. "He
does not," can never be properly'abbreviated into
"He don't" This error, vulgar as it is, advances
apace in good English society.
Had better, had rather these are vulgar absurdi
ties, arising, perhaps, from ' the desire of brevity.
"I had rather," must have originally been, "
would rather," contracted into "I'd rather." There
is a singularly vile Scotticiem—tl had oblige to do
so and so:" It should be "I was obliged."
Tin above, as an adjective. "The above state
ment may be relied one Above, being an adverb;
can never be correctly used as an adjective. It is,
however, very commonly employed in that capa
city.
Then, as an adjective. "The then Earl of Win.
chesla." Nothing can be more vioious.
✓1 great many—a good many—a few—Here a
singular article is used with plural nouns. These
are very incoherent forms of language. .
Quantity, is often used in reference to objects
susceptible of numeration ; it is only applicable to
an object capable of increase or decrease, not by
numeration.
Dzfferent wirh—differem to—very bad From is
the only correct participle to with differ and its
deviations. Disagree with, is proper, because
agree there governs, not the dis.
Supported by subscription, which simply means,
by underwriting, might be improved into "suppor
ted by contribution."
Lieutenant.—Why should this be pronounced
leftenantl Can it be because the u in lieu ,avas
once written v? An error similar to that which
makes the Mackenyies in Scotland be called
Mackenzies, and the name of Manyies be spelt
Menzies, the y being mistaken by transcribers for z.
Besides, means over, and above, and occasionally,
accept. To say, "sit beside me," or use the word
in any way as implying place, is incorrect.
Animal.—lt is generally supposed that word is
only applicable to quadrupeds, as beast certainly
is. It is in reality 'applicable to any creature hav
ing life and breath.
Without, in the sense of unless, is certainly a
vulgarism.
Oftener, is decidedly wrong
Men's minds, the horses' heads.—Here the abbre
viate of the singular his is used or implied for the
plural their. Nothing can be more incorrect.
" The minds of men," and "the heads of horses,"
are proper phrases. •
These sort of things, ought to be, this sort of
things.
Man-milliner, seems to be both vulgar and wrong.
Milliner, from its masculine termination, should be
applicable to males, and the word should be altered
for the ladies.
Last night—last evening.—These are poor substi
rites for the fine old English sound yesternight.
Education.
FROM A FATHER TO HIS SON
There are few terms of more indefinite meaning
than the one which heads this letter. Some sup
pose it consists in learning to read, write and cy
pher ; while 'others - contend, that no yotang man
can be deemed educated, or at least well educated,
until he has been dubbed A. M. at a college, has
passed a term at some academy; or has become a
licentiate in one of the learned professions. My
definition varies from 'both, and comprises more
than either. I define education—a knowledge of
our religious, moral, politicalsocial and relative duties—
AND THE HABITUAL PERFORMANCE OF THEM. The
apprentice, who has merely acquired the names of
the tools which belong to a trade, may as well be
deemed to have learnt that trade, as the boy to be
educated, who has merely obtained school instruc
tion.
The tools are the means by which the ap
prentice, by attention and industry, is to acquire a
knowledge of the trade, and his reputation as a
mechanic will depend upon the fidelity and skill
with which he employs them. Schooling is to the
mental what tools is to the physical powers—the
means of becoming useful to one's self, and to so
ciety at large; and in both cases success and distinc
tion are wisely made to depend upon individual ex
ertion. The boy may acquire the mechanical art,
but the noblest powers of the mind are seldom de.
veloped but in manhood. Thus you perceive that
I consider your education as having but commen
, ced ; and that you' have yet to learn, by study and
reflection, those high duties of manhood which are
to have an intimate bearing upon your future hap
piness and prosperity.. Your mind has yet to be
disciplined, by reading, observation and reflection,
and your habits are yet to be fixed. Practice is as
necessary in this as it is in mechanics—it is as ne
cessary to make a fluent orator, or a graceful writer,
as it is in cutting well a coat, or shoeing a horse.
To stimulate you to the performance of duty, and
to deter you from habits of sloth, indolence and
vice, I here venture to assure you, as a conviction
growing out of half a century's experience and
observation that the practice of every virtue will
bring its reward, in one shape or another—and
that indulgence in vice, will assuredly be followed'
by some corresponding suffering, in mind or body.
We enjoy animal propensities in common with the
brute creation ;—but the higher feelimm—the mo
ral sentiments,—the pleasures of intellect,—belong
peculiarly to man—the man rises in the scale of
beings in prOportion as he cultivates and improves
these peculiar gifts of his Creator.'
Work for March.
Asparagus.—Towards the latter part of this,
month, you should dig and fork
,your asparagus
beds; to do which you should have a fork with
three prongs, about six or eight inches long, or it
you have not such an implement, the common
dung-fork will answer as a tolerable substitute. In
forking the beds, which is absolutely to be done
every spring, you must avoid going so deep as to
injure the crowns of the plants.
As soon as the beds are forked they must be
raked smooth. This is also the proper time for
the transplanting of asparagus beds, as also for
sewing the seed. Cauliflower plants and Cabbage
plants that were sown last month, must be attended
to; the former transplanted in hot-beds slightly made,
and the latter inured to the air, so as to be ready
for coming out as soon' as the weather. becomes
settled. Your peas, windsor beans,lettuce, carrots,
parsnips, madl salad, radishes, spinach, celery, bro
coil, beet seed, onion seed, early turnips, and indeed
almost every other kind of early vegetables, should
be sown as soon as the weather gets settled.
And if you desire a succession of fresh peas,
beans, lettuce, rauishes, etc. you should sow small
bedii of them every two weeks.
Rhubarb.—This delicious and healthful plant
should he in the garden of every one: and yet such
is the difficulty of getting folks out of the old.
beaten track, that it is by no means generally cul
tivated. It makes as good a tart as the gooseberry,
and is much easier prepared, and is one of the best
preventatives of the affections of the bowels to .
which children are subject, that is known.
.A gen
tleman of our acquaintance assured us some months
since, that a daughter of his had been cured of a
standing intestinal disease by the use of this vege
table alone. The following is the mode of culture.
Select a piece of rich sandy loam, manure it
well, trench it two or three spades deep, then level
the top with a rake, lay it off in- squares of four
feet, at the intersections of which. sow your seed
in drills about eight inches apart; keep them
weeded arid watered 'during the etimmer. Thise
will befit to plant out - the next spring, and icould
be protected through the- winter. If the weather
should prove severe during the spring that"the seed
is planted,lthe plttputshould be covered by a board

The Wife.
I have often had occasion to remark the forti
tude with which women sustain the most over
whelming •reverses of fortune. Those 'disasters
which break down the spirit of man, and prostrate
him in the dust, seem to call forth all the energies of
the softer sex, and give such intrepidity and elevaz
tion to their character, that at times it approaches
to sublimity.
Nothing can be more touching than to behold - a
soft and tender female, who had been all. weakness
and dependence, and alive to trivial roughness
while treading the prosperous paths of life, sud
denly rising in force to be the comforter of her
husband under misfortune, and abiding with un
shrinking firmness, the most bitter blasts of ad
versity.
As the vine which has long twined its graceful
foliage and been lifted by it unto sunshine will,
when the hardy plant is rived by the thunderbolt,
cling around it with carressing tendrils, and bind
up its shattered boughs ; so it is beautifully order
ed by Providence that woman, who is the mere de
pendent and ornament of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace, when smitten with
sudden calamity; winding herself into the rugged
recesses of his nature, tenderly supporting the
drooping head, and binding up the broken heart.
I was once congratulating a friend who had
around him a blooming family, knit together in the
strongest affection. I can wish you no better lot,"
said he with enthusiasm, "than to have a wife and
children: If you are prosperous they are to share
your prosperity ; otherwise they are to comfort
you."
And indeed I have observed,'that a man falling
into misfortune, is 'more apt to retrieve, his situa
tion in the world than a single one partly because
he is more stimulated to exertion by the necessi
ties of the helpless and beloved beings who depend
upon him for subsistence; but chiefly because his
spirits are soothed and relieved by domestic endear
ments, and-his self-respect kept alive by finding that
though all abroad is darkness and humiliation, yet
there is still a little of love at home, of which he
is the monarch.
Whereas, a single man is apt to run to waste
and self-neglect; to fancy himself lonely and aban
doned, and his heart to fall to ruin like some deser
ted mansion-for want of, an inhabitant.
Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was a proud field and the ground on
which the temple now stands, the joint inheritance
of two brothers, one of which was married and had
several children, the other lived a bachelor; They
cultivated in cemthon the field which had devolved
on them in right of their mother. At harvest time
the two brothers bound up their sheaves, and made
of them two equal stacks, which they left upon the
field. During the night, a good thought presented"
itself to the younger. • " Aly brother," said he to
himself, " has a wife and children to maintain ; it
is not just that our shares should be equal ; let me
then take a few sheaves from my stack. and secret
ly add them to his; he will not perceive it, and, •
therefore cannot refuse them." This project the
young man immediately executed. That night the
elder awoke and said to his wife, "my brother is
young, and lives alone without a companion to as
sist him in his labors, and console him under his
fatigues. It is not just that we should take from
the field as many sheaves as he does let us gel up
and secretly go and carry a certain number of
sheaves to his stack—he will not find it out to
morrow,
and, therefore cannot refuse them;" and
they did so accordingly. The next day both hroth
ers went to the field, and each was much surprised
to find the two stacks alike ; neither being able in
his own mind to account for the prodigy. They
pursued the same course for several successive
nights ; but as each carried to his brother's stack
the same number of sheaves, the stacks still re
mained equal, till one night they both determined
to stand sentinel to elucidate the mystery,they met,
each bearing the sheaves destined for his brother's
stub/
Now the spot where so beautiful a thought at
'once occurred to, and was so perseveringly acted
upon by two men, must be a place agreeable to
God ; and men blessed it, and chose it whereon to
build a house to his name.

How simple, primeval and natural, is the inspira

which virtue has terminated on earth! I have

The Chances of War.
To those accustomed to the vicissitudes of war
fare, it is no less curious to remark the- many
miraculous escapes from wounds than the recovery
from them. As an instance of the former, I may
observe that in the course of the action at Sabugal,
I was addressing a passing remark to an officer
near me, who in turning round- to answer, raised
his right foot, and I observed a grape shot tear up
the print which it had but that instant left in the
mud. As an instance of the- latter, I shall here
relate, (though rather misplaced,) that at the
storming of Badajos, in April, 1812, Lieut. Wors
ley got a musket ball in the ear, which came out
at the back of the neck, and though, after a pain
ful illness, he - recovered, yet his head got a twist,
and he was compelled to wear it looking over the
right shoulder. At the battle of Waterloo, in 1815,
(having been upwards of three years with his neck
awry,) he received a shot in the left ear which
, came out within half an inch of his wound in the
back of the neck, and set his head straight again !
Words for Children.
You were made to be kind, generous, and mag
nanimous. If there is a boy in the`school who has
a club foot don't let him know that you ever saw
it. If there is a boy with ragged clothes, don' talk
about rags while he is in hearing. If there is a
a lame boy, assign him some part of the game
which does not require running. If there is a hun
gry one, give him a part of your dinner. If there
is a dull one help him to get his lesson. If there is
a bright one, be not envious of him; for if one boy
is proud of his talents, and is envious of them, there
are two great wrongs, and no more talents than
before. If a larger or stronger boy has injured
you, and is sorry for it, forgive him, and ask the
teacher not to punish him. All the school will
show by their countenance how much better it is
to have a great soul than a great fist—Horace
Mann.
Eating Fast.
The habit of eating fast and carelessly, is sup.
posed to have paralyzed Napoleon on two of the
most ethical occasions of his life—the battles of
Borodino and Leipaic, which he might have conver
ted' into deifsiVe and influential victories, by push
ing- his advantages as he was wont. On, each of
these occasions he is known to have been suffering
from indigestion. On the thitd day of Dresden,
too, the German novelist Hoffman, who was pres
ent in the town, asserts that the etriperoi would
have done much more than he did, but for the ef
fects of a shoulder of mutton stuffed with onions—
a dish only to be paralleled by the porkchops which
Messrs. Thurtell & CO. regaled on after completing
the murder of their friend Mr. Weare../ffor2r.
