TOWANDA:
likbneobag glorninn, November 8, 1818.
The Clock at Tangle's.
The Moors, unlike their partially enlightened
brethren of the List, prohibit the, Chistian and the
Jew from entering ajmnsque or other plz.ces con
secrated bx, the law of the Trophet, under pain of
death, or embracing the faith of Islam. A droll
inetance of this otZurre4.l some years, ago at Tan•
Bier.
The clock at .the "Daman Jleeber," - tho g; ea
mosque at Tangier, being mac oat of order, need
ed some skilful craftsman to repair it. None how
ever, of "faithful" were competent to the task, nor
could they even discover what part of the machi
viery.vras deranged; though many put forth their
opinions with great pomp and authority; among.
the rest one gravely declared that a Jin, or evil
'genius had in all probability taken up its abode
xyithin the clock. Various exorcisms were accord
ingly essayed sufficient, as every true believer sup
posed, to have expelled a legion of devils—yet,
all in vain; the clock continued dump.
A Christian clotk-maker, " a cursed Nazarine,"
was now the sole resource; and such a one for
tunately was sojourning in Tangier—" the city pro-
tected of the Lord!' lie was from Genoa, and of
course a most pious Christian : bow, then, were
they, the faithful followers of the prophet, to mati
nee to employ him 1 The clock was fixed in the
wall of the tower, and it was of course, a thing
impossible to allow the Vatter.. To defile God's
House of prayer by his sacrilegious steps.
The time-keeper, Moakkeed, reported the diffi
culty to the kady ; and so perplexed the-grey-bear
ded dealer in law and justice by the infticacy of
the case, after hours of deep thought, the judge
.confessed he could not come to a decision, and
proposed to report upon the subject to the kaid,
advising that a meeting of the iocal authorities
should be called. " For, in truth," said the kady,
'I perceive that the urgency of this matter is great.
Yes! I myself will expound our dilemma to the
ka,,l.''
The kaki entered feelingly into all the difficulty
of the case, and forthwith summoned the other
authorities to his porch, where carious propositions
were put forward by the learned members of the
council
One proposed to abandon the clock altogether:
another would lay down boards over scilich the
infidel might pass without touching the. sacred
floor; but this was held not to be a sufficient safe
guard; and it was.finally decided to pull up that
pert ofthe pavement on which the Kailer toxl, and
whitewash the walls near which he passed.
The Christian was now sent for, and told what
was required LA him ; and he Was expressly corn
mantled to take oil his shoes and stockings on en
tering the Jaman. " That I won't," said the stout
Lute watch-maker; "I never took them off when
l:entered the chapel ol the most Holy Virgin, - and
here he crossed himself devoutly, " and I won t
take them off in the house of your prophet.
They mimed in their hearts the watch-maker and
all his race, and were in a state of vast perplexity.
The wise Oolama had met early in the morning
it was already noon, and yet, so far from having
got over their difficulty, they were in fact exactly
where they had been before breakfast; when a
grey-bearded :Sluedilin, vrlo'',hatl„littlierto been si
lent, craved permission to speak. The kaiJ and
the kady noddedltheir assent.
" the venerable priest, "the mosque
be out of repair, and lime and'bricks have to be
conveyed into the interior for the use of the ma
sons, do not asses carry those loads, and do they
not enter with their shoes on !..
'• You speak trul.y." was the geheral reply
Z And does the donkey, - resumed the Nluedilin,
believe in the one God, or iu Jlahumed the pro
phet of God
No, in truth, - all replied.
Then," said the Ntueddin. "let the Christian
Ro in ;hod as the donkey would do, and come nut
like a donkey." . •
The argument of the was unanimous-
I) applauded. In the character of a donkey, there
fore. did the Christian enter the Italiomedantern
pis:wended the clock—not indeed at all like a
donkey—but as such in the opinion of " the Faith
ful," came out azaiii, and the' great mosque of
Tangier has never since needed another visit of
the donkey to its dock.
NEW METHOD OF StirE G SS.—The Lon
don Athen-Tum states that a Mr. Drayton, in that
hiischscow.red a new process of silvering tliaA
which will entirely do away with the old, injuri
ous and dilatory process of Ailvering by mercury
and tin. Nor is this its only advantage. The sil
veiiir2. is richer in its textcre Than that produced by
the old pmcess. ; and it may be touched with the
finger and still be left untarnished. This impor
tant iniproveiment is pmdueed by a solution of ni
ti ate of silver in water and spirit mixed with am
monia and the oils, ol cassia and of doves. Some
of the glass thus silvered is extremely beautiful.—

A lad was toiling rip a hill, near the city, antler
the weight of a heavy basket ; on the afternoon of a
sultry day in August. Ile had been sent home with
some goods to a customer, who lived a short dis
tancc in the country. The boy was lightly built,
and his burthen almost beyond his strength. Ma
ny times he sat down to rest himself on his way up
the hill. But it seemed as Uho would never reach
the summit. Each time he lifted the basket it
seemed still heavier.
The boy was about half-way up the bill, with
his basket, when a gentleman overtook and passed
him. He had no' gone on many paces, when he
stopped, and turning rtnind to the lad, looked at
him for a moment or two, and -said kindly—
" That's a heavy load you have, my boy ; come
let me help you.", . •
And the gentleman look the basket, and carried
it to the top of the hill
"Pliere—do you think you can get along now ?"
said he with a smile, as he set the basket down.—
" Or shall f carry it a little further?"
' "Oh no, thank you sir," returned the boy with
a glow of gratitude on his tine young face. "lean
carry it now— very much otitiged to you."
"You are right welcome, my little man," said
the gentleman, and passed on.
Twenty years from that 'time, a careworn man,
well advanced in life, sat motionless in an old arm
chair, with his eyes fixed intently upon the glow.
mg grate. lie was alone, and appeared to be in a
state of deep abstraction. In a little while, howev
er, the door of the room opened, and the light form
of a young and lovely girl glided in.
Papa," said a low sweet voice, and a hand was
laid on the old man's arm.
6 it you, my dear I" he returned, with a low
" Yes, papa," and the young girl leaned against
him, and parted with her delicate fingers, the thin
grey locks that lay in disorder Shout his forehead.
‘•t would like to be alone for this evening, Flo
rence," slid the old man. " I have a good deal to
think about, and expect a person on business."
- Ant! he kissed her tenderly ; yet , sighed as he
pressed his lips to hers.
The girl passed from the room as noiselessly as
she had entered. The old man had been calm be
fore; her coming in, but the moment she retired, he
became agitated, and arose and walked the floor
uneasily. He continued to pace to and tro for near
ly half an hour, when he stopped suddenly and
listened. The street door-bell had rung. In al:t
ile while a man entered the room.
z , M. Mason," he said, with slightly peree?tible
ernbarrasment
" Mr. Page," lett:trued the old man, with a fee
ble, quick-fialie.g smile. "Good morning," and he
offered his hand.
The visitor grasped the hand and shook it warm
ly—but no pre• re in return.
'•Sit down, ltr. Pag,e,' and the man took a
chair, and Mr. 11 awn sat near him. 1:1..
" You promised me an answer to-night to my
proposal, - said the former, after a pause.
" 1 did," returned the old• man; " but am as little
prepared to givd it as I was yesterday. .in fact, I
have not fond an opportunity to say anything to
Florence on the subject to which you allude.
The countenance of the visitor tell, and some
thing like a frown darkened his brow.
There was an embarrassing silence of some mill-
Ines, after which Mr. Pate said—
." Mr. Mason, I have made an honorable propo
sal for your daughter's band. For weeksyou have
evaded, and do still evade an answer. This seems
se much like tritljeg, that I begin to feel as if just
cause for o ff ence 4xisted:'
£. None is intended, I assure you, - replied Mr.
Mason, with something deprecating his tone.--
" But, you must remember ; Mr. I'age, that you
have never sought to win the young gill's Mice
tion, and that, as a consequence, the oiler of mar
riage which you wish, me to make to her, will be ,
received with surprise, arid it tray be. (1 isa pproval.
I wish to approach her; on this subject with proper
discretion. To be too precipitate, may startle her
intb instant repugnance to your wishes."
'•.She loves you, does she not!" m(inircd lir.
rage. with a marketl si,:nificanco of manner.
" A child never loved a parent more tenderly,
replied Mr. Mason.
" Give her, then m an undisguised history of your
embarraltsments. show her hoW your fortunes are
trembling on the brink of ruin; and that you have
bat one hope of relief and safety left. The day she
btVoies my wife you are out oT danger. Will you
do this I' 7
The old man did not reply. Helves lost in a
deep reverie. It is doubtful - whether he heard all.
that had been said:
4 , Will you do this I' 7 repeated Mr. Page, and
with 'some impatience in his tone.
Mason aroused himself as from a dream, and
answered with firmness and kliznity.
'• Mr. Eve, the struggle in my mind is over. 1
am prepared for the worst. I have no idea that
Florence will favor your suit, and I will not use a
single argument to influence her. In that mater
she must be perfectly free. Approach heras a man,
and win her if.yon have the power to' do so. It is
your only . hope."
*As if stung by a serpent, Page started from his
chair.
" You will repent this, sir," he angrily retorted,.
" and repent it hiueriy. 1 came to you with hono
rable proposals for`your daughter's hand; you lis
tened to them ; gave me encouragynent, and pro
wised me an answer to•nighL Now you meet me
with insult 'I Sir, yon will repent this !"
Mr. Mason ventured no reply, bat merely bow
ed in token of his willingness to meet and bear an

after his angry visitor hart retired, did Mr. Mason
cross and re-cross the floor with measured

came, to say to. Florence that .he wished to see
her.
When Florence came she was surprised to see
that her father was 'strongly agitated.
" Sit down, dear," he said in a trembling voice,
"I have something to say to you that muse be no
longer concealed.."
Florence looked won.!eringly into her father's
face, and her heart began to sink:
Just then a servant opened the door and ushered
in a stranger. He was a tall, finely formed man
just in the prime of lite. Florence tinieltly retired
but not before the visiter had filed his eyes upon
her face, and marked its sweet expression. •
" Pardon this intrusion sir," he said, as soon as
the young girl had left the room, " but facts that I
have learned this evening have prompted me to
call upon you withoni a moment's delay. My
name is Greer, from the firm of Greer, Millet &
Co."
Mr. Mason bowed and said : " I know your
house very well ; and now - retnembiri to have met
you more than once in business transactions."
" Yes, you have &ought one or two bills of gooils
from us," replied the visitor. Then, after a mo
ment's pause he said, in a changed voice—
" Mr. Mason, I learned to-night, from 'a sourre
which leaves me no room to doubt the truth of the
statement, that your atlairs have become seriously
embarrassed; that you are, in fact, on the eve of
bankruptcy. Tell me, frankly, whether this is in
deed so. I ask fror no idle curiosity, nor from a
Concealed and sinister motive, but to the end that!
may t tirevent the threatened disaster, if it is iu my
power to do so.",
Mr. Mason was dumb with surprise at so unex
pected a declaration. He made two or three ef
forts to speak, but his lips uttered no sound.
" Confide in me, sir," urged his visitor. " Trust
me as you would trust your own brother, and lean
upon me if your strength be failing. Tell me, theu
ds it as I have said, r,
" It is," was all the merchant could utter.
" Ilow much will save y .11 Mennen the sum,
and if within the compass of my city to raise,
you shall have it in hand to-morrow, INV! twenty
thousand dollars relieve you from prisent embar
rassment r,
" Fully."
"Then let your anxiety subside; Mr. Mason.—
That sum you shall have. To-mormw uriorning 1
will see yon. Good evening:" and the visitor
was gone before his hew ilderea auditor had suffi
ciently recovered 14 sen.ses to know what to dank
or say.
In the morning, true to his promise, Mr. Greer
called upon Mr. Masou, anti tendered a check for
ten thousand dollars, with his note of hand for thir
ty days for the ten thousand more, which was al
most the same as money.
While the check and note lay before him on the
desk, and ere he bud offered to touch them, Mr.
Mason looked earnestly at the man who had so
suddenly taken the character of a self-sacrificing
friend, and said—
"My dear sir, I cannot understand this. Are
you not laboring tint,ler some error!" •
"Oh no. Yon one did me a service that I am
now only seeking to repay. It is my first opportu
nity. and I embrace it eagerly."
" Did you a service ! When V
'Twenty years ago,'' replied the man. I was a
poor boy, and you were a - man of wealth. Oue hot
day, I was sent a long distance with a heavy bas
ket. While toiling op a hill, with the hot sun upon
me, and almost overcome with heat and fatigue,
you came along and not only spoke to me kindly,
but took my baskeyand carried it to the top of the
hill. Ah. sir ! you did not know how deeply that
act of kindness sunk - into my heart, and I longed
for the opportunity to show you by some act how
g,ratelul 1 felt. But none came. Often atierwards,
did I-meet you in the street, and look in your face
with pleasure, but you did not remember me. Ec-
er since, I have regarded you wits different feel
ings from those I entertained for otheis; and there
has been no time that I would not have put myself
out to serve you. The rest you know.
Mr. Mason was astonished at so Amnge a decla
ration.
" Do you remember the fact to which I allude I
asked Mr. Greer.
" It hasjadeil from my external memory entire
ly : but your wools have brought a dim recollection
of the fact But it was a little matter, sir—a very
little matter, sir-and not entitled to the importance
you have Myer' it."
To me it was not a little matter," returned Mr.
Greer. " I was a weak boy. just sinking under a
burden that was too heavy, when you put birth
your band and carried it for me. I could not forget
it. And now let me return the favor, at the first
opportunity, by carrying your burden fin you, which
has become too beavy, until the hill is ascended,
and-you are able to bear it onward in your own
strength."
Mr. Mason was deeply moved. Words failed
him in his eflorts to express his true feeling*. The
bread cast upon the rater jad returned to him after
many days, and be gagered it with wonder and
thank.lalrifts. The merchant was saved from ruin.
Nor was this all.
The glimpse which Mr. Greer had received of
the lovely daughter of Mr. Mason, revealed h cha
racter of beauty that impressed him deeply, and - he
embraced'the first nportunity to make her acquain
tance. A year afterwards be led her to the altar.

Come meditate, 0 reas'ning. man
How earth's foundation first began,
Of The Great Author of the plan,
That worlds majestic 'round us move.
Of all we see that's here on earth,
The mighty power that gave them birth,
Thtt spate the word and all came forth
Sure this was God, and God is love.
Ite hold the sun with rays so bright
The lunar moon that rules The night,
And stars that glow with twinkling light,
shine to their maker from above.
Bee man a noble being made
In Gods own image thus array'd,
And though from virtue far bath stray'd
Vet his Creator God is love.
That God is love his works declare,
Above, around, and everywhere.
His word and works, most perfect are,
Consummate wisdom from above.
Still greater love G 641 did proclaim
When Jesus ChristAo mortals came,
From sin and mis'ry to reclaim,
Behold what mercy, God is love.
'Tis oft I hear with solemn tone
That God is true, and there is one
ho deals out vengance from his, throne,
Eternal in the worlds above.
Though angry priests of vengeance sing
And thus blaspheme their heavenly King,
A nobler tribute man should bring,
And vindicate that God is love.
This earth is but man's shore abode.
And here should learn to praise his God
But sip will make him feel the rod,
Tis.justice sent down from'abore.
'fis sent as by our heavenly friend
That we may learn, our ways to mend,
And nerer more on sin depend,
For God is just, and God is love.
Bin is to man his greatest foe
And bath its wages here below
It makes this world a world of woe,
And robs us of our peace above.
But virtue hath ten thousand charms
It brings us peace without alarms,
And ev'ry evil it disarms,
And thus proclaims that God is love.
Sin makes as groan and frar to die
And is the only reason why
We do not see a God on high.
To call as op to Heaven above.
Since all the resurrection share,
Made as the Holy Angels are,
soul shall sink down to despair,
For our Creator God is lore.
When death shall send his $0111113011.3 forth.
And separate us from this earth
0 then our souls shall take their birth,
In glorious mansions far above.
There shall me see our Saviour's face,
And praise him for redeeming grace
And the great whole Adamic race
Shalt shout aloud that God_ is love.
This earthly hon.e if once dissolv'd
In sin no mire to be involv'd
A better house we have resolv'd
Eteert'al in the Heavens above.
All ..ouls alike God's love shall share
Be free from pain and mis'ry there
And awed where Holy AnZeis are,
And join the song that God is love. •
The lame shall walk, the blind shall see,
The-captive there have liberty,
From sin and death shall ail be free,
In harmony each soul shall move.
All tears shall there be wip'd away
Nor shall a soul from God e'er stray
Bat onward dwell eternal day
In rearms of bliss where God is love.

My father was the brother of Tenderness: aly
mother was the sister of Lore. -
As the roeebud opening to the morn, :v. , the dew
drop on the lily, so.vras the loveliness of my youth
I awoke a: the rising of the dawn : my saluta
tion was tliat of joy and gladness, Pleasure heck•
oned me forth, and I sported in the sunshine of
Nerdy.
The boars were swift and ran smiling away; bat
the lightness of my heart outlived the going down
of the stn.
The day departed with the mildest breeze ; and
the night but invited me to the bed of repose.
My pillow was the softest down, my slumbers
attended with golden dreams.
Thus one day passed away, and the morning of
the next found me happy.
Happy are kite hours of artless innocence I hap
py the days of virgin simplicity, while the bosom
is a stranzer to deceit, and the heart unconscious
of the painful sigh.
0 that I could overtake the wings of time! 0
that I could recall the pleasures of my youth! for,
the days of my womanhood have been days of
many sorrows, the tears of misfortune have bedim
med the lusture of mine eye; the filly is fallen,
and the rosebud is blown and withered on my
cheek.
For I I'ls:cacti to the voice of ift/u/atioo, aaJ

The silver tonne of flattery is hollow, and la

is corrosive poison to the heart.
Hear then, 0 daughter of America! 0 fairest of
the lair among women ! let my precepts be treas
ured in thy bosom, and walk in the ways of my
counsel; so shalt thou shun the thorn of reproach,
more keen than the bite of the asp, more veno

The hand of Scorn shall point its finger from
thee; the tear of Misery shall never bedew thy
cheek; thy lile shall be replete with good things,
and pears and honor shall satisfy thy soul.

expedients then resorted to are both ludicrous and
melancholy. •
In 1835 the perfect of Canton, on occasion of-la
distressing drought of eight*months, issued the foo
lowing invitation:" Pwan, acting prefect ofTwang-
chart, issues this inviting summons. /Since for_ a
long time there has been no rain, and the prospects
of drought continue, and supplications are unan
swered my heart is scorched with grie(--•--frr the'
whole province af Twang-tune, are there no extra
ordinary persons who cap force the dmgrai to send
rain! Be it known to you all ye so ldiers and peo
ple, that it there be any one, whether of this or any
other province, priest of Fuels like, who can, by
any craft of arts, brine down abundance of rain,
respectfully request him to ascend the abort (of-the'
dragon) and sincerely and reverentially pray. And
after the rain has fallen, I will liberally reward him
with money and tablets to make known his mer
its." This invitation called forth a Budhist Priest
as a ,4 rain -maker," and the prefect erected an al
tar for him before his own offire, upon which the
man ; armed with a cymbal and Wand, for three
days vainly repeated his incantations from mor
ning to night, exposed, barefooted to the hot sun,
Ara bun of the jeering crowd.
The unsuccessful efforts of the priest did o r ot ren
der the calamity less grievous, and their argent
necessities led the peel le to resort to every espe
dient to force their gods to send rain. The authori:
ties forbade the slaughter of animals— or, in other
words, a fast was proclaimed. To keep the hot
winds out of the city the S.outhem gate was shut,
and all Classes flocked to the temples. It was *es
timated that on one day 20;000 persons Arent to a
celebrated shrine of the godess of Mercy, among
whom were the governor and prefect and their
suites, who all left the sedans and walked with
the multitude: The governor, as a last expedient
the day belore rain came, intimated his intention
of liberaiog all prisoners not charged with capital
offences. As soon as the rain fell, the people pre
seuted thank offerings, and the Southern gate of the
city was opened, accompanied by the odd ceremo
ny- of burning the tail of a live sow, while the an'.
mal was held in ;a basket. Sometimes devot
become irritated against their god, and resort
summary means to force them to hear their. peti
tions.
It is said that the governor havinA.nne repeated ;
ly in a (line ot drought to the temple ot the god of
Rain, in Canton, dressed in his burdensome robes,
through the h-tt'ot a tropiCal sun, on one ot his vis
its, said—" The god supposes I am lying when I
beseech his aid ; for how can he know; seated in
a cool niche in the temple, that the ground is par
ched and the sky hot ?-IVaereopon he' ordered
his attendants to pat a rope around "his neck and
haul his godship out of doors, that he mutt see and
feel the state of the weather for himself; after his
excellency had been cooled in the temple the idol
was reinstated in its shrine, and the good effects of
this treatment considered to be fully proved by the
copious showers which soon after fell.
When all other means fail, the Emperor, we are
told, prayers and makes offerings to his gods for
the derived object—Arben.auns.
Atrremst.—How like man is the seasons, infancy
youth, manhood and old age--spring, summer, fall
and winter. They each follow one another in ra
pid succession, and as our trembling hate conveys
the type to the stick, we are forcibly reminded of
both. Man is but the evanescent of an hour, "an
opening bud of yesterday, a withered leaf td-mor
row.'' Some, no matter what they, ouch, in a be
siness point of view, turn everything to gold, while
others toil for years without ever being able to
consummate a purpose or effect anything for the
good of thcm.selres or others. The seat and yel
low nal' admonish us that winter is • fast stealing
upon us, a kw mouths more, and in all human
probability, the earth will be clothed in a dress of
white, and the Otter skin and the Buffalo robe will
agaic be called into active requisitan. We but
