Doctor William Steelling :-Llt affords me great
pleasure to state to you that I have used your Pul

in the breast, and Bronchitis. It is about one year
since I begun the use of it. I consider it the best
article I know of for those complaints, having de
rived great benefit myself from it in those affections,
L have no hesitation in recommending it to all who
labor under similar diseases. I have also given it
to my little son with great advantage. •
REUBEN S. ROHRER.
Mr. Harman, a respectable Teacher or Lancas
ter, speaks thus:—
LANCASTER CITY, Pa., Oct. 2, 1848.
Dr. Wm. Steelling :—I take pleasure in inform
ing you that I have been greatly benefitted by the
use of your Pulmonary Syrup. I had contracted a
very severe cold, and with it a violent cough, so
that I would sometimes spit blood; in this condition
you found me when you gave me a bottle .of your
Syrup, I had not taken half a bottle before I found
myself much relieved, and in fact felt like a new
man. I would recommend your Pulmonary Syrup
to all who may be afflicted with colds or any other
diseases of the lungs.
R. T. HARMAN.
Testimony of a vvell known Merchant of Williams
town, Lancaster county, Pa.:—
Dr. Wm. Steelling -Dear Sir :—lt affords me
much pleasure to inform you of the great benefit I
have received and also in my family, from the use
of your Pulmonary Syrup. I have used it for Ca
taarrh on the Breast, and from a very few doses
have been . relieved. I have also found it a certain
remedy for the Croup and all common colds. I
have sold it at my store for four years -and could
give a great many instances of its success in all
diseases of the Lunge - and Throat.
Respectfully yours, R. M. JONES.
Sept. 30, 1848.
Read the following Extract from a full Certificate
dated August 13, 1846, from a Partner of the very
respectable and extensively known firm of Caleb
Cope & Co., No. 165 Market street, Philadelphia.
Having used your Pulmonary Syrup individu
ally, and in my family for the last four years, it
affords me great pleasure to inform, you, that I have
in every instance found it highly efficacious in cur
ing Coughs, Colds; &c. Indeed lam so well satis
fied of the good resulting frorn the use of it in such
cases, that I keep at all times three or fourbottles
on hand. W. B. JOHNSTON."
Rev. William Heilig, of Abbottsville, Pa., writes
thus, June 10, 1842:
Dr. William Steelling—l take great pleasure in
informing you that I have been much benefitted by
the use of your Pulmonary Syrup; my throat which
has been sore for better than two years, has been
greatly improved ; I think by using a few more bot
tles a radical cure may be affected.
WILLIAM HEILIG.
Rev. 0. Douglass, Pastor of the Mariners Church,
Philadelphia, writes thus:
I feel much gratified in being able to say to you
that the Pulmonary Syrup you sent, has been used
by several persons with great success. I can truly
say that almost every one who has taken it has
been more, or less benefitted. I cordially recom
mend it to allwho are afflicted with a cough.
July 10, 1843. 0. DOUGLASS.
Rev. H. Miller, Pastor of the Lutheran Church,
Trappe, Montgomery county, Pa., writes thus un
der date April 29, 1843.
Dr. William Steelling—My throat having been
sore for some time, by using three bottles of your
Syrup, I found it an excellent expectorant,. and
have been much benefiitted. H. S. MILLER.
- - - .
Mark this from the Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, in Deerfield, N. J.
DEERFIELD, January 25th, 1845.,
Dr. Steelling—Dear Sir :—There are some things
that impress us very favorably at first, but further
acquaintance convinces us that our impressions
were too exalted. There are other things of which
we think more highly as - our acquaintance becomes
more intimate. In this class I rank your Pulmonary
Syrup, and Vegetable Anti-Bilious Pills i which
have been kind friends to me and which I take
great pleasure in introducirig to the acquaintance
of others. Yours very respectfully,
J. W. E. KERR.
The following testimonial is from the Rev. Mr.
Raybold, of the Methodist Church, N. J.
CEDARVILLE, N. J., January 20, 1846.
,Dr. Steelling—Deaa Sir:—The two bottles of
Pulmonary medicine of yours, which you did me
the honor to send, I have used according to direc
tion and have the pleasure to inform you• that the
medicine removed my severe cold, pain in the
breast, and violent cough most effectually. I feel
no hesitancy in recommending the article to those
who may be afflicted with Pulmonary affection.
Very respectfully yours, G.A. RAYBOLD,

Notice to Distillers,
AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
WHEREAS, I, Jacob Weitzel, of the city of
Lancaster, coppersmith, have received by let
tere 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 adr I;og tub, which
is placed partly above the still, tr 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 p 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.

• Look Look !
THERE'S a man most splendidly dressed I that
shining black cloth is surely the best—look at
the turn of his Coat and the beautiful skirt,
Pray what do think such a suit may be worth'? now
look at his Pants and that high buttoned Vest—how
nicely arranged to show the full chest; the Pants
they hang straight with a curve at the foot and fall
most gracefully over the boot. He comes, and I
think I know him now he is near. Hold up, John.
How are you my dear,—you'll excuse me, but one
word if you please; your Clothing fits with such
graceful ease (I'm sincere and don't wjsh to tease)
all of us were struck at the fit and the. style,—to
know where you got them is truly worth while.—
W ell then, gentlemen, your curiosity soon shall be
gratified—these garments fit me well can't be
denied ; now look at the quality of the Cloth and
tell me what such a suit is worth. Forty Dollars
at least, was quickly said. No, replied John, but
Twenty paid. Surprising, astonishing, is that really
all ! Oh yes, replied John, they come from Lan
caster Hall. How is it he sells his Clothing so
very cheap made so well, of good -materials and fit
so neat? His extensive operations in trade gives
him the advantage in ready-made—he
,buys his
goods for Cash, careful in his selections—never
makes up trash. Besides his Clothing fits as well
as a man's own skin, and, giving satisfaction, in
duces him to come back again. W ell, what credit
does he give say certainly some. John placed
his finger on his nose—none gentlemen, none,—
when you go there the CASH must come.

Hence, home, you idle creature, get you home;
Is this a holiday? What! know ye not,
Being mechanical, you ought not to walk
Upon a laboring day, without the sign
Of your profession? Speak! what trade art thou?
Much is said of late about the Won't:mu MEN.
Who arc they? They are the bone, the muscle,
and the strength of this broad republic. They are
the men whose active labor brings from the earth,
under the blessings of heaven, its richest fruits—
they are the men who fashion the products of
nature into articles for the use of their kind—they
are those who make productive industry their
calling in life.
These are the men, for each of whose lives, a
shilling would pay a thousand years ago, if a
slavish vassal or a military chief choose to take it
—they were the creates under the Saxon reign in
England, who cultivated the farms of the nobility,
and were proud of the privilege of holding their
stirrups when they mounted—they were the men,
who in the days of Henry 11. stocd up for their
lives and property, and defended them with their
own arms against the licensed, or at least, permitted
depredations of the barons; they were the serfs,
under the feudal system, who, preferring, or rather
exercising the arts of peace, were, in times when
military service was alone honorable, held in a
state of absolute slavery and villainage, and who,
if they ever rose by trade or manufactures to a de
gree of opulence, were only the more exposed to
depredations, arising from the envy and avidity of
the military nobles: they are the same men, tvho,
having by their industry and enterprise risen to
consequence, were called into the government, and
allowed a sort of negative authority, in the House
of Commons, under the tutelage of the memorable
Simon de Montford, and in the reign of Henry III.;
and the men who after maintained their standing,
and though they often sunk in the tempests which
Overwhelmed the kingdom, silently reared their
heads in' more peaceable times; and while the
storm was brewing, were courted by all sides, and
thus received still some accession to their privileges,
or at worst some confirmation of them.
They are the men, who, having learned to reason
and judge for themselves, gave culture to the seeds
of the great religious reformation of 1520, and in
the face of the fire and of the faggot, maintained
the doctrines which they imbibed and believed.—
They are still the same men, who in that House
of Commons, which a few reigns before, having
met sufferance, and displeased its sovereign, was
compelled to beg his gracious pardon,'in 1510, sat
with august ceremony, as a tribunal of justice, and
adjudged Charles T. to an ignominious death, for
Treason to the Constitution of his people. They
are such as were the pilgrim fathers of America;
they are, in short the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES, who having, in two hemispheres, for
700 years, been struggling for their natural free
dom, and obtained it, have the same spirit to main
tain, as they had to acquire. They are the men
before whose presence the wide forests of America
have been, for two hundred years, rapidly and
steadily receding; they are the men whose busy
hammers, and cheering enterprise, resound in our
cities and our villages and along the borders of
our inland seas, and whose canvass flaps in the
breeze on the broad waters of the world; whose
labors make our vallies bloom, and crown our hills
with the ripened sheaf; whose pioducts float on
the bosom of our broad rivers. Their voice is
heard from the shores of the Kennebec to the rifts
of St. Marie,—and their steps may be traced on the
snow crowned mountains of Vermont and New
Hampshire, on the road to Santa Fe, and on the
sands of California. They have built our canals,
made our roads, erected and endowed our colleges,
and, more than all, established our government, and
in war and peace sustained its supremacy. Think
you they will quietly permit an aristocracy to
grow up among them, which shall control their
circulating medium, manacle 'their government,
create invidious distractions in society, and reserve
to itself the advantages of an extended education
They were schooled to the' tender mercies of a
blood proud aristocracy a thousand years ago, and
having annihilated that, in our country, at least,
they have no disposition to receive in its stead the
cent. per cent. tyranny of a purse-proud one. They
have sent forth their voice that they are and will
be FREE, and it is the duty of all to listen to its
cheering tones, for it will soon be found that they
are exchanging between themselves sentiments,
which tend to nerve their hearts, and brace their
minds. The say with Cassius, each to the other:
"Men at some time, are masters of' their fates;
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves that we are UNDERLINER."
D. LONGENECKER.

Human nature appears a very deformed, or a very
beautiful object, according to the different lights in
which it is viewed. When we see men of inflamed
passions, or of wicked designs, tearing one another
to pieces by open violence, or undermining each
other by secret treachery; when we observe base
and narrow ends pursued by ignominious and dis
honest means; when we behold men mixed in so
ciety as if it were for the destruction of it; we are
even ashamed of our species, and out of humor
with our own being; but in another light, when
we behold them mild, good, and benevolent, full of
a generous regard for the public prosperity, corn
passionating each other's distresses, and relieving
each other's wants, we can hardly believe they are
creatures of the same kind. In this view they ap
pear gods to each other, in the exercise of the nob
lest power, that of doing good ; and the greatest
compliment we have ever been able to make to

MISS SPRING IS CONING.
Miss Spring is a coming
Again ! Again !
With her cheering smiles of mirth
With her warming sun,
And her genial rain,
With her flowers to strew
In the garden and plain ;
And her warbling birds
Whose joyous strain
Shall-gladden the grateful earth.
Mr. Winter is going,
Hurra! hurra I
What a hateful old fellow is he !
There'll be many dry eyes
When he sees his last day:
Why, he hasn't a friend
• That would like him to stay !
Ha! ha! we'll be glad
When he totters away—
Good riddance, old Winter, say we
Miss Spring is a coming
•And well we know
She's a bright and a laughing thing I
And her balmy breath
Will Inert the snow;
And the ice-bound stream
In her glance will flow ;
And the birds' will sing,
And the bright flowers grow—
Then a welcome to beautiful Spring !

The Working Men.
Human Nature.
King Solomon's Blacksmith.
And it came to pass when Solomon, the son of
David, had finished the Temple of Jerusalem that
he called unto him the chief architects, the head
artificers, and cunning workers in silver and gold,
and in wood and in ivory, and in stone—yea, all
who had aided in rearing the Temple of the Lord,
and he said unto them,—" Sit ye down at my table;
I have prepared a feast for all my chief workers
and cunning artificers. Stretch forth your hands,
therefore, and eat and drink and be merry. Is not
the laborer worthy of his hire ? Is not the skilful
artificer deserving of honor? Muzzle not the ox
that zreadeth out the corn.'!
• And when Solomon and the chief workmen were
seated, and the fatness of the land and the oil thereof
were set upon the table, there came one who knock
ed loudly at the door, and forced himself even into
the festal chamber. Then Solomon the King was
wroth, and said,
"What manner of man art thou?"
And the man answered and said,—"When men
wish to honor me, they call me Son of the Forge ;
but when they desire to mock me, they call me
blacksmith; and seeing that the toil of working in
fire covers me with sweat and smut, the latter name,
0 King, is not inapt, and, in truth, thy servant de
sires no better."
" But," said Solomon, "why came you thus rudely
and unbidden to the feast, where none save the
chief workmen of the Temple are invited?"
•" Please ye, my Lord, I came rudely," replied
the man, "because thy servant obliged me to force
my way; but I came not unbidden. Was it not
proclaimed that the chief workmen of the Temple
were invited to dine with the King of 'lsrael?"
Then he who carved the cherubim said,—"This
fellow is no sculptor," and he who inlaid the roof
with pure gold said, "Neither is he a workmen in
fine metals."
And he who raised the walls said, "He is not a
cutter of stone."
And he who made the roof, cried out, "He is
not cunning in cedar-wood; neither knoweth he
the mystery of uniting pieces of strange timber
together."
Then said Solomon, " What hast thou to say Son
of the Forge, why I should not order thee to be
plucked by the beard, scourged with a scourge,
and stoned to death with stones?"
And when the 'Son of the Forge heard this, he
was in no sort dismayed, but, advancing to the
table, snatched up and swallowed a cup of wine,
and said, "0 King, live forever! The chief men
of the workers in wood and gold and stone have
said that I am not of them, and they have said
truly. lam their superior; before they lived was
I created. lam their master, and they are all my
servants. - And he turned him round, and said to
the chief of the carvers in stone, Who made the
tools with which you carve?"
' And he said, " The blacksmiths"
And he said to the chief of the masons, " Who
made the chisels with which the stones of the
Temple were squared'?"
And he said "The blacksmith."
And he said to the chief of the workers in wood,
" Who made the tools with which you hewed the
trees on Lebanon,. and formed them into the pillars
and roof of the Temple?"
And he said*" The blacksmith."
Then said he to the artificer in gold and in ivory,
"Who makes your instruments, by which you work
beautiful things for my lord the King ' 2 "
And he said, n The blacksmith."
"Enough, enough, good fellow," said Solomon,
"though hast proved that 1 invited thee 'and thou
art all men's father in art. Go wash the smut of
the forge from thy lace, and come and sit at my
right hand. The chiefs of my workmen are but
men—thou art more." So it happened at the feast
of Solomon, and blacksmiths have been honored
ever since.—London Magazine.
What O'Clock is it?
When I was a young lad, my father one day
called me to him that he might teach me how to
tell what o'clock it was. He told me the use of
the minute finger and the hour hand, and described
to me the figures on the dial plate until I was per
fect in my part.
No sooner was I quite master of this additional
knowledge, than I set off scampering to join my
companions at a game of marbles ; but my father
called me back again; " Stop, Humphrey," saidjae,
"I have something more to tell you."
Back again I went, wondering what else I had
got to learn, for I thought I knew all about the
clock, quite as well as my lather did.
" Humphrey," said he, " I have taught you to
know the time of day, I must now teach you how
to find out the time of your life."
All this was strange to me, so I waited rather
impatiently to hear how my father would explain
it, fur I wanted sadly to go to my marbles.
The Bible;' said he, describes the year of man
to be three score and ten, or four score years. Now
life is very uncertain, and you may not live a single
day longer ; but if we divide the four score years
of an old man's life into twelve parts, like the dial
of a clock, it will allow almost seven years for
every figure. When a boy is seven years old then
it is one o'clock of his life, and this is the case with
you ; when you arrive at fourteen years it will be
two o'clock with you ; and when at twenty-one
years, it will be three o'clock, should it please God
thus to spare your life. In this manner you may
always know the time of your life, and looking at
the clock may, perhaps, remind you of it. My
great-grandfather, according to his calculation, died
at twelve o'clock; my grandfather at eleven, and
my father at ten. At what hour you and I shall
die, Humphrey, is only known to Him to whom
all things are known."
Never since then have I heard the inquiry, "what
o'clock is itr nor do I think that I have even looked
at the face of the clock, without being reminded of
the words of my father.
I know not my friends, what o'clock it is with
you, but I know very well what time it is 'with
myself, and that if I intend to do anything in this
world, which hitherto I have neglected, it is high
time to set about it. The words of my father have
given a solemnity to thedial plate of a clock, which
it never would perhaps have possessed in my esti•
motion, if these had not been spoken.
Look about you, my friends, I earnestly entreat
you, and now and then ask yourselves what o'clock
it is with you.
Rtvenge.
" Father, forgive them." Go, proud infidel, search
the ponderous tomes of heathen learning, explore
the works of Confucious, examine the precepts of
Seneca and the writings of Socrates—collect all the
excellencies of ancient and modern moralists, and
point to a sentence equal to this simple prayer of
our Saviour.
Reviled and insulted—suffering the grossest in.
dignities—crowned with thorns, and led away to
die! no annihilating curse breaks from his tortur
ing heart. Sweet and placid as the aspirations of
a mother for her nursling, ascends the prayer for
mercy on his enemies, "Father, forgive them."
Oh, it was worthy of its origin, and stamps with
the brightest seal of truth that his mission was
from heaven.
Acquaintances, have you quarrelled ? Friends
have you differed ? If he who was pure and per
fect forgave his bitterest enemies, do you well to
cherish your anger? Brothers, to you the precept
is imperative! You shall forgive, not seven times,
but seventy times seven. Revenge is as incompa
tible with happiness as it is hostile to reason and
religion. Let him whose heart is black with malice
and studious of revenge, walk through the fields
while clad in verdure and adorned with flowers; to
his eye there is no beauty, the flowers to him ex
hale no fragrance. Dark as his soul, nature is
robed in deepest sable. The smiles of beauty light
not up his bosom with joy --but the furies of hell
rage in his breast, and render him as miser
able as he could wish the object of his hate. But
let him lay his hand on heart his and say, "revenge,
I cast thee from me; Father, forgive me, as I for
give my enemies," and nature will assume a new
and delightful character. Then, indeed are the
meadows verdant and the flowers fragraAthen is the
music of the grove delightful to the ear. and the
smile of virtuous beauty lovely to the soul.
ll~To be idle and to be poor have always been
reproaches, and therefore every man endeavors,
with the utmost care, to hide his poverty from
others, and his idleness from hinaseli.

A Visit to an Old Commodore.
During the last summer chance threw me in
the vicinity of Bordentown, New Jersey, and, re
membering that one of the mostAistinguished Com
gl
modores in the Navy had invi 'e to call on him
at his farm if 1 ever came th y, I readily em
braced the opportunity to do so. „Nis residence, or
"farm-house," as he calls it, is within a mile of
Bordentown, on one of the loftiest banks of the Del
aware, and the viewirorri it is extensive and beau
tiful.
Observing, as I approached the house, a very
commonly dressed man, back towards me, leaning
over pots of grease and tar with hands in, I natu
rally supposed him to be a farm laborer, and invol
untarily exclaimed, "Hallo, my good man, is the
Commodore at home ?" The answer was "Yes,"
and from the Commodore himself, who was enga
ged, as he told me, in preparing a mixture to make
his cart wheels run easy. As he turned from his
greasy occupation to greet me with his bland smile,
I wished that an artist had been there to sketch
him in such a garb. His hat was of common
straw, with many holes and rents ; coat of some
coarse gray stuff, and pretty well worn ; (no cra
vat or- vest;) pantaloons of mixed cotton, worn
threadbare ; and shoes were of the common stick
down kind, (as our Virginia negroes call them,)
and, as they were of the color of a side of leather,
I suppose blacking had never touched them. This
was the garb of the Commodore on the farm. He
is about the ordinary height, and slightly inclined
to corpulency; hair, originally sandy, is now grow
ing gray with the frosts of more than sixty winters;
complexion florid, and his whole face usually wears
-a smiling benevolent expression, mixed with reso
lution. His reputation as a gallant and skilful naval
officer is known to the whole country, and the mis
tress of the seas has some slight cause to know it
too; for history tells us that, pending the last wur
with Great Britain, he, with one frigate, captured
at one blow two sloops of war. He is not a man
of collegiate education, yet he wields, when aEca
sion requires it, a powerful pen, and is said to be
master of international law, which is so important
to commanders of squadrons. His mind appears
strong, sound, and vigorous, and, from his good
health, elastic step, exuberant spirits, social but tem
perate habits, he will in all probability live to a
ripe old age. Such is Commodore Charles Stewart,
of the United States Navy, commonly called "Old -
Ironsides."
The Future.
The existence of the mind, or the soul, is as
certain as any other known thing. That the body
and soul are not one, or the same, is as demonstra
ble a truth, as that fire and water are not the same
thing. The body moves from place to place, grows
by eating matter, is subject to certain lorms, color,
heat, and pain. The mind or soul thinks of the
future; remembers the past; collects facts, forms
theories, has neither color, heat, nor form. In a
wort,mind and body, of all known things have
fewest properties in common. If, then, there be in
all nature two distinct entities, they are soul and
matter. But gross, unthinking matter, is composed
of elements which are imperishable—in other
words, matter is everlasting. How much more,
then, is the ethereal thinking soul immortal. Since
the mind, then, is immortal, we are indu-ed to be
lieve that its character is unchanged in a future
state ; the good is good still, and the bad, bad. Fu•
tore rewards and punishments, then, seem necessa
ry consequences of the immortality of the soul;
the truth of which has been demonstrated.
Little Kindnesses.
Small acts of kindness—how pleasant and desir
able do they make lice! Every &ark object is
made light by them, and every- tear of sorrow is
brushed away. When the heart ,is sad, and des
pondency sits at the entrance of the soul, a little
kindness drives despair away, and makes the path
cheerinl and pleasant. Who will reluse a kind
act? It costs the giver nothing, but is invaluable
to the sad and sorrowing. It raises from misery
ana degradation, and throws around the soul those
hallowed joys that were lost in Paradise.
A Firm Religious Belief.
Sir Humphrey Davy, who was no recluse, no
fanatic, but a man eminent as a scholar and philos
opher, said :—"I envy no qualities of the mind or
intellect in others, nor genius, power, wit, or fancy;
but if I could choose what would be most delight
ful, and., I believe, most useful to me, %should pre
fer a firm religious belief to every other blessing; for
it makes life a discipline of goodness; creates new
hopes when all earthly hopes vanish ; and throws
over the decay, the destruction of existence, the
most gorgeous of all lights ; awakens life in death,
and calls out from corruption and decay, beauty
and everlasting glory."
The Grandeur of Man.
u The birth of an infant," it has been truthfully
said, is a greater event than the production of the
sun. The sun is only a lump of senseless matter;
it sees not its own light; it feels not its own heat ;
and with all its grandeur, it will cease to lie—but
that infant, beginning only to breathe yesterday, is
possessed of reason, claims a principle infinitely
superior'to all matter, and will live through the
ages of eternity." Let the immortal mind shed its
lustre upon the world.
MEATH EVENING HYMN.
BY MRS. SIGIOURNEY
We thank thee, Father, for the day
•That, robed in twilight sweet,
Doth linger ere it pass away,
And lead us to thy feet.
We thank thee for its healing rest
To weary toil and care ;
Its praise within thy temple blest—
Its holy balm of prayer.
We thank thee for its living bread,
That did our hunger stay;
The-manna, by thine angels shed
Around our desert way.
Forgive us, if our thoughts were slow
To claim a heavenly birth;
If feelings, that should upward-glow
Did gravitate to earth.
Forgive us, if these precepts pure,
That should our sins control,
And aid us meekly to endure,
Grew.languid in the soul.
Forgive 119, if with spirit gold,
We breathed the murmurers moan;
Or failed to grasp the chain of gold,
That links us to thy throne.
0 grant, that when this span of life
In evening shade shall close,
And all its vanity and strife
Tend to their long repose;
We for the sake of Him who died,
Our Advocate and Friend,
May share that sabbath at thy side
Which never more shall end.
The Connecticut Sailor Boy.
The Cornelia was a good ship, (said one of the
West India chaplains of the American Sea Men's
Friend Society,) but at one time we feared she was
on her last voyage. We were but a few days ont
from New York, when a severe storm of five days
continuance overtook us. Like a noble charge
between two contending armies, did the ship quiver
in all her joints, and struggle to escape from the
fury of the winds and the waves. At the height
of the storm I must tell you of a feat of a Connec
ticut sailor hoy. Ha was literally a boy, and far
better fitted for thumbing Webster's Spelling Book,
than furling a sail in a storm. But hie mother
was a widow, and where could the boy earn a liv
ing for himself and mother better than at sea?
The ship was rolling fearfully; twice I saw. the
captain lose his centre of gravity—though he kept
his temper pretty well—and measure his length
on the deck. Some of the rigging got foill at the
mainmast head, and it was necessary that some
one should go up and rectify it. It was a, perilous
job. I was Standing near the mate and heard him
order that boy aloft to do itl He lifted his cap
and glanced at the swinging mast and the boiling,
wrathful sea, and at the steady determitied coun
tenance of the 'mate. He hesitated in silence a
moment, then, rushing across the deck he pitched
down into the forecastle. Perhaps he was gone
two minutes, when he returned, laid his hands on
the ratlins, and went up with a goodwill. My eye
followed him till my head was dizzy, when I turned
and remonstrated with the mate for sending that
boy aloft. He could not come down alive! "Why
did you send him?" "I did it," replied the mate,
"to save life. We've sometimes lost men over
board, but never a boy. See how he holds like a
squirrel. He is more careful. He'll come down
safe, I hope."
Again I looked, till a tear dimmed my eye, and
I was compelled to turn away, expecting every
moment to catch a glimpse of his fall.
In about fifteen or twenty minutes, having finish
ed the job, he came down, and straightening him
self up, with the conscious pride of having performed
a manly act, he walked aft with a smile on his
countenance.
In the course of the day, .I took occasion to
speak with him, and ask him why he hesitated
when ordered aloft? Why he went down into the
forecastle? "I went, sir,' said the boy '• to pray."
"Do you pray?" "Yes sir; I thought I might not
come down alive, and I went to commit my soul
to God."
"Where did you learn to pray?" "At home;
my mother wanted me to go to the Sabbath school,
and my teacher urged me to pray to God to keep
me and I do." " What was that you had in your
jacket pocket ?" My Testament, which rit); teacher
gave me. I thought if I did perish, I would
,have
the word of God close to my heart."—Seamares

An Interesting Fact.
In the year 1817, the first Sunday School, we
believe, organized in the State of Virginia, was
opened in this town in connection with the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, by Geo. Walker, Esq., Jas.
McGehee and John Thurman—the last of whom
still survives, a useful, venerable, and respected
citizen of Lynchburg. In a very short time two
hundred scholars, of both se - :es, were collected,
many of whom had no other opportunity of ac
quiring the slightest education. It is not possible
to say what amount of good may have been done
by even a single year's operation of the School.
We confine ourselves to an allusion to two cases,.
which have been brought to our notice. -
Among the first scholars who attended, was a
slim, spare youth, who manifested a capacity, and,
desire of improvement That youth grew up—
removed to the West—studied law—and has long
been known td the nation, as the Hon. Wit.t.tAitt
ALLEN, late Senator of the United States fom the
State of Ohio.'
In the second year of the school, there Was en
tered as a scholar a younger boy of prepossessing
appearance and deportment. He was the son of
one of the three persons named as the founders of
the School, and is now the lion. Luse P. WALKER,
a Senator in Congress from the State of Wisconsin.
Two members of the Senate of the United States,
therefore, during the last session, were among the
first pupils of the first Sunday School established
in our town, and as we believe in the State.—Lynch
burg Republican. •
Sorrow.
There is no sorrow in the world except that we
bring upon ourselves. Everything is smiling and
beautiful around us. The forest is not decayed—
the rivers and brooks are not turbid, and the sky
is not clothed in sackcloth. Nature throughout
the year is delightful, and why should man be sad?
His heart has not been schooled right, his passions
have not been subdued ,• he is altogether too selfish,
and is therefore miserable. We know many indi
viduals who are cross and crabbed as they can be,
when they are not making money fast. If they
loose a sixpence by way of trade, they feel like
gnawing files ; if a debtor has turned bankrupt, it
takes full six 'months to erase the scowl from their
brows. We are acquainted with one man,, worth
at least a hundred thousand dollars, who suffers un
accountably in his mind for fear he shall die poor.
He knows not what it is to enjoy a moment's peace
of mind. Another we have seen, who never pays
his taxes without a curse, and is enternally railing
against the Assessors for doing' their duty. : Now
all such make the pangs they daily feel, and are
miserable in the midst of pleasure. Let them live
like human beings with gratitude in their hearts
and kindness on their lips, and all their fears and
sorrows would vanish. All should be happy. It
was Heaven's design that we. would be so, when
He created us in his image;and made with infinite
wisdom this glorious world, and stretched above us
the illimitable skies.
Dignity.
I dread the approach of one of your men of dig:
nity of manners—one who with no real dignity of
character endeavors to supply its want by an affec
tation of superiority in his deportment. He is stiff,
awkward, vastly wise and forbidding—he takes you
by the hand—if he can stoop•to such a condescen
sion—and shakes it with the formality and precis
ion of a piece of mechanism. He endeavors to
jmpart dignity to his conversation, and speaks of
" trifles light as air" as if they were subjects of
immense importance. Every word is weighed.be
fore it comes out of his mouth—everf expression
delivered as if he were delivering an oration. The
presence of such a man is cold, chilling, and repul
sive as that of an iceberg. I would as soon avoid
one as the other.
