Keep your Promises We have often been shocked at the reckless disregard which many persons manifest for the fulfillment of their promises. They are ~e ver ready to make engagements for the future, but when the time arrives for the fulfillment - they seem to have forgotten them entirely, or at least to treat them as though they involved no obligation whatever. Such conduct is highly injurious in its influence on society, inasinnelt as it necessarily tends to destroy that confidence of man in man, which is so essential to the happiness of the community. It is especially detrimental to the interest of the individual hipself who is guilty of it, as he thereby for. feits the confidence and respect of his fellows. His word accordingly is not relied upon : and he is obliged to suffer all the unhappy enure. (ponces. This singular and injurious. habit is one of the most inexcusable of whit:Wally one can be guilty. in ninety•nine cases out of a hundred there is no absolute necessity what - everfor - any - one - to - break -- Iffs ord: No one should ever make a promise unless he looks well into the ciieumstances beforehand, and has every reason to believe that it will be in his power to fulfill his promise. And when ever a promise has once been made, it should be his fixed determination to keep it; and will, a particular reference to this his suLseettent .conduct should be shaped. Wcie this cotose to be faithfully pursued, not only would the se rious evils resulting from a .li-regard to one's word be avoided, but also the tat lid ore e of those around speedily pined and enjoyed, and a character thereby eventually estalAished that will be of more value than "ermine, go:d; or princely diadems." Our Country The political agitation, rays the Two Worlds, which have of late shaken to their venire the social, as well as the financial systems of na• tions on the European continent, have !keen un felt by us. We aro out of reach of these con vulsive movements, which have 'sprung up from the new discovery which men have made of their rights, and their determination to as sert them. For we as a people happily enjoy a free constitution, and it is so firmly seated in our hearts that it can fear no essential change) and can defy the assaults of time. While the nations abroad, priest ridden, subjected to heavy taxes to support standing armies and to main tain expensive courts, are grotmd to the dust-- while they groan under the tyranny and abuses of the old feudal system, and oppressive mon opolies, and are just waking up to a sense of their misery and degradation, America presents to the world a magnificent spectacle of human happiness. She has been the pioneer of liber ty in modern times. Well may she be respect ed abroad, for she has won renown by her arms, and shown wisdom, firmness, and constancy in the support of the great principles of ft cc dom. She is burthetied by tin II:Mortal debt, which desolating wars 113%13 entailed upon ihe older governments of Europe. No rich com pany of merchants can dictate by arbitrary laws With what nation you may trade, what column. dities you may import ;.but all the seas arc covered with our ships; every commercial right, every privelege civil, political and social is enjoyed alike by all. There can be no des titution; for the field of labor is an exhaustless one; there can be nn ignorance, fur the spread of education is co-extensive with our territorial limits; there can ho no discontent, for we can pass on from one region and climate to ;moth er till we reach the western ocean—the dimes Of the Pacific with their golden promise are Our own. There may seem to be radical differen ces and changes in the Constitutions of the res peetive states, but there is an aegis that pro- toots them all—it is the broad principle of free dom symbolized by the proud banner that floats upon their walls. The country may suffer at times from.commercial reactions, there may be a temporary stagnation in agricultural or man ufacturing industry, the ,political horizon at home may be lowering, but her resources are infinite, the elements of prosperity and union aro widely sown, scenes of renewed growth and vigor will soon re-appear, and the bow of promise will bo more bright than over, as the troubled waters subside. Views like these should inspire every American with a love 01 his country, a pride in hm ad vaneing greatness, a glory in her noble institutions; but above all, With a deep and fervent spitit , of gratitude to Divine Providence for having Cast his lot in a land, hallowed, by the blessings of plenty:, se• curity and peace.

The Customs of Death Why should death be horrible ? Why should our associations with death fram calhood up, be associated with everything that is terrific? Why is it that the body which we loved so when living should become a frightful spectre to us when dead ? The same features are there —the same calm, lovely expression as in life— nay, calmer and more lovely, for there is a betany in death. Why is it that the boy who _hung, around his mother, and slept upon her bosom, and followed each footstep, should look noon her as a repulsive object-as soon as the breath left her body ; and fear to touch her, fear to 'kiss her, and tremble if left alone ohti ate mem, with the cold and hartnless clay? The chill bay , . an inductive mind--his life is made of exinuiences, and we may well doubt if a child left to himself, to his own natural instincts, would argue that a mother, who was so lovine, and kind to him when living, could halm him when dead. gut these feclingi are not con fined to childrett , they grow stron,ger with their year.:, and strengthen -w their strength. rcw indeed of grown persona, in the present age, could - befolinkthat'wonhi-sit-up-elone- r even xvith a sister or brother, without strange feel ingz allied to fear and trembling. l‘lany can not even slew in the same bud or in the same room whew one they loved had died. In fine, death amongst us in this country, and in r:onic others, is connected from early youth %yid] F spectres, goblins, "ghosts, raw bones, and a thonsand other phantasies which a sickly ima gination call raise to frighten itself into terrors. With adults even of the sire:rest minds and of the most benevolent feelite! ,, , it is asso ciated wiih the dark, damp and crowded grave yard, enclosed with stone or brick walls, in ihe midst of the populous city, so thick ‘1 jib dead that the very grass grows rank aninall from the licit and fostering soil: Every wind that blows tells the passer by the horrors of death. Why is it'? Whence, come these feel ing‘? Is it part of oar nature, or does it mice from the ohjectimiable customs of our • times? Heaven forbid that carne of the most melan choly and pleasing associations of our mind=, connected with the memory of Modem] should ltmtles.troyed_by_the_citstonts , of men. To Iris point the minds of men of thought a n d rc• Ilection have been awakened, and death for the last lon or filieen years ha., in a measure chatigctl its grim initt ghastly visage to a more ;tlca-Mc espres-ion. 1,•2t tin look at some of thi-e cm,iotris.

The general effects of the discovery, says the Philadelphia Family Gleaner, will be ben eficial to the world—but in particular instances, this water buying business, will occasion in. convenience, loss, damage and total ruin. The coal market will be greatly affected, we appre heed. The gas companies which have estab lished expensive manufactories on the old plan will find themselves superseded ; for every store, shop and private dwelling will have its own gas factory in the cellar. The wood spec ulation will be "done tip," and many other trades and occupations 'iif suffer for a time by the use of this new combustable. But these troubles will be merely temporary, while the advantages of the discovery will endure to the end of time. But the burning of Water is sea' a droll idea, such all apparent absurdity to the preeepiimis of most people, that it may be a time before Mr. Paitie's discovery can win _itzl_way_ to . 7eneraLlay_or—Somo_of_the_old_tc per,, we fear, will find it very difficult to be lieve that cold water can be good (or any iv. pose. Same very good people will consider that putting the fluid to such a strange use is sinful, or, at least, a thing unwarranted by any .precedent in biblical history, and therefore, somewhat profane. The Ultra temperance men will be unwilling to admit that there is an in ' !!redient as inflamable as alcohol in the gelid ' element, which has become . an object of their enthusiastic devotion. Speculators will object to the aqueous commodity because it cannot be boag i t up and stored away in the ware houses to produce a scarcity in the market.— . The "higher classes" will not relish the idea of warming and lighting their houses on Paine's plan, because its cheapness does not accord with their notions oldie necessity of li:ing be yoild their income. The young ladies will not like our Yankee friend's illuminating gas, because the light is so . intense that it makes the smallest freckel visible. The old, ladies will not patronize Paine's apparatus, because "it •might bust." In short, there is some reason to .fear iliat Mr. Paine's discovery will be gener-_ ally unpopular at first, especially because dime so inuch "gas" in the world now, that peo pre ran scarcely be made to see the necessity of tumuli:tete,' in. , z it by a more rapid process.
