Soma few years ago, a lad tvIio ttos left Titliout father - or mother, cf good natural abilities, went to New York, alone &'id friendless, to get a situation in a Etore ns errand boj cr otherwise, till he could ccramand a higher posi tion; tint this bo v had rot into -had commxiY, and, had crot in the habit of calling for Hs'bitters" occasionally , beeassa he tlionght it loohedmanlj. He smoked cheap cigars also. . He had a pretty good education, and on looking over the papers, he noticed that a merchant in Pearl istreet wanted a lad of his age, and he called there and made hh business krown. "TViiilk into the office, xay lad," said the merchant, "ITl attend to you soon.' TThen he had raited on his custom I ers, he took a seat near tie lad, and he enoagh. t:My boy," said he, "I want a smart, honest, faithful lad; but I see that you smoke cigars, Jind in my ex perience of many yeara, I hare ever found cigar-smoting in lads to be con nected with various other evil habits, and, if I am not mistaken, your breath is an evidence that you are not an ex ception. You can leave; you will not suit me." John for thit was his nameheld down his head, and left the store; and as he walked along the street, a stranger and friendless, theounsel of his poor mother came forcibly to his mind, who, upon her death bed, called him to her side, and placing her emaciated hand upon his head, said, "Johnny, my dear boy, Fm going to leave you You well know what disgrace and misery your. father brought 011 us before his death, and 1 want you 10 promise me before I die that you will never taste one drop of the accursed poison that killed your father. Promise me this, and be a good boy, J ohnny, and I shall die in peace." The scalding tears trickled down Johnny's caeeks, and he promised ever to rememDer tne dying n oras 01, nis mother, and never to ilrink any spirit uous liquors; but he soon forgot his promise, and when he received the rebuke of the merchant, he remember ed what his mother s:dd, and what he had promised her, and he cried aloud, and the boys railed at him. He went tn hl lodin. and. throwing himself upon his bed, gave vent to his feelings in sobs that were heard . all over the house. Rut John had moral . courage. He lin.l fTiPTfrv and determination, and ero an hour had passed, he made np his; mind never to taste another drop of liauor. nor smoke another cigar as long as he lived. He .went straight back to the merchant. Said he, "Sir, yen very properly snt me away this m3rnin for habit3 that I have been guilty of; but, sir, I have neither father nor mother, and though I have "occasionally done what I ought not to do, and not followed the good advice cf my poor mother " on her death bed, nor done as I promised her I would do, yet I have now made a solemn vow never to drink another drop of liquor, nor smoke another cigar, and if you, sir, will only try me, it is all I ask." The merchant was struck with the decision and energy of the boy, and at once employed Idri. At the expi ration of live years,- this lad was a partner in the "business, and is now worth ten thousand dollars. He has laithfully kept his pledge, to which he : owes his elevation: Bovs. think of tills circumstance, as you enter npon the duties of life, and remember npon wliat point3 of char acter your destiny for good or for evil depends. Northern 1 armcr. . ; IS TEES 73 EHIA2irEI)1 . Sir David Brewster make3 the fol lowing remarks relative to the sun: "So strong has been the belief that the sun can not be a habitable world, that a scientific gentleman was pronounced by his medical attendant insane, be cause he had sent a pper to the Royal Society, in which he maintained that the l?ght of the sun proceeded from a dense and .universal aura, which may afford amide light to the inhabitants beneath, and yet be at snch a distance aloft as net to he among thcrn; that there nay be water and dryland there, hills and dales, jain and fair weather, and that as the light and the seasons must be eternal," the sun may easily be conceived to be by far the most bliss ful habitation of the whole svsten. In less than ten years after this apparent lv-extravcrrant notion was considered a3 a proof of insanity, it vrs maintain ed bv Sir. TVilliim Herschel as a ra tional aad probable opinion, whicl might he'dcdacible from his own ob servation! cn the 'Structnro cf the 4k U.l f Ih I II - r7inssi Etrsnrcs.,- None but 1 centle thoughts should visit cur hearts as this sweet hour; and - though Bad, they are but tranquil breathings of Heaven. How often does a shadow fit o'er the spirit, dim ming its sunshine;" tho feeling that all that is bright must fade, even as the waning twilight, - which reminds ns, that in the fair forms which glide around us, as well as in the flowers which spring up in our pathway, the elements of decay lie concealed. ' ; "We need not, like the Egyptians, have an image of death before ns in our joyous hours, for alas! he ;is ever visible to the mind's eye, chilling ns with the reflection that the crystal fountain of life" may be congealed by his very breath. None can tell how soon they may exchange the balmy air, for the noi some tomb; happiness and sunshine, birds ong and flowers, for the darkness and deep silence of the grave. Even the very tree3 seem to sway gently with a soft, dirge-like melody. Death is ever claiming his victims; and hundreds are now passing the portals of life, gasping for that breath wmcn wiuoon cease to animate xneir frames. - ; "Why is it that we have wild dreams after beauty that never fades, if it be not that a brighter clime awaits us with glories which timemaynever dim, where tri.ght angels clothed m glory, welcome ns with song3 of fay, and lead us triumphantly through the golden streets of the New Jerusalem; "Cloads, winds and stars their task fulfill Ours ta trust ia Heaven."

I. like to see a pretty child, pretty flower, but in a sermon nrettiness is out of nlace. To my ear it would be any thing but com mendable should it be said to me, "You have given U3 a pretty sermon." If I were npon trial for life, and my advo cate should amuse the jy "with " his topes and figures, burying his argu ment beneath a profusion of flowers of rhetoric, I would say to him, 'lut, man, you. care more for your vanity than for my hanging.

Robert Hall. The Minister's Call. An amus ing incident occurred a few days since. A certain lady had been much annoy- edby the ringing of her door-bell by the . mischievous boys in the' vicinity, and determined to be made no more a fool of by going to the door. In the course of the forenoon her minister railed to see her, dressed in his sprucest manner, he ascended, the steps, and f entjy drew the bell nandle, when tie lady .shouted from the entry: Tsee you, but; if 1 catch you, I'll 1 1 wTinr your neck.

Wise, of Yirgina, delivered an orarion on the 4th, in wMch he thu3 describes the last moments of Wash ington: He died as he lived, and what a beautiful economy there was in Ms death! Not a faculty wa3 impaired, not an error marred the moral cf his life. At sixty-six, not quite threescore years and ten, he was taken away wMle Ms example was perfiecL : He took cold, slighted the symptoms, saying "Let it go as it came." In the morn ing of the 14th of December, 1799, he felt sever? illness; called in Ms overseer, Mr. Rawlings, to bleed Mm. He was agitated, ' ' and WasMngton . said to Mm, "Don't be afraid." When about to tie up Ms arm, he said with diincul ty, "More." After all efforts had failed he designated the paperhe meant i IOr IliS UU LiiUU iuiucuw auMUi'v.Ui and said, "I find I am going, my breath can not continue long. I be lieved from the first it would be fatal. Do'vou crrange my accounts and set tle my looks, as you know more abor.t them'than any one else, and let Mr. Rawlinrrs finish recording my other t J I letters which he has begun." Between five and six o cioci:-i:c said to hisphysi- cian, Dr. Cralk, "I feci myself going; you had better not take any more trouble about me, let me go off quietly; I can not last long." - Shortly after, again he said, "Doctor, I die hard; but I am not afraid to rro; I believed frcm I should not survive it; I my brer.th can net last long." About ' 10 o clock he made several attempts to peak t Mr. Lear, and at last said, "I am just going, ilave me decently j buried, and do net let my body be put into ths vault in less than two davs after I am dead Lear says, "1 bowed , assent." He looked at me azain, and j said, "Do you understand mei" Ire-! plied, "Yes, sir." "'Tis well," said he. And these were Ins last words. Just Uv before he expired he felt his own pulse;; his hand fell from his wrist, and George Washington was no more. UZ A3D TTATrn. A quart of water Is daily passing through the skin of a sorad person. It evaporates through the minute open- mgs which cover the whole surface, ! and if these be plugged ! up, is com- j pelled to travel through the kidneys, and gives rise to internal disorder. j Ablution, therefore, if sound health is j to be preserved, is a duty of the first importance. Pure air is also essential to health, and at night the free supply . my hrsi attach of it 13 of especial moment. Eacaj At a late firemen s supper at Bar sleeper draws into the chest, about ! lington, "Edward Bradley gave thefol fifteen times in every minute, a certain S lowing toast: "Ladies of '50, like the quantity of the 3urroundingatmospiiere and returns it, after a change in the body, mixed with a poison. One hun- dred and fifty grains by weight of thi3 poisonous ingredient, are added to the air of a bedroom in one hour by a! single sleeper, more than one thousand j during the nignt. Lnless there be a sufficient quantity of air to dilute this, or unless ventilation provide for a gradual removal of foul air, while fresh comes to take its place, health must seriously be undermined. , - - "V W m .

Were you converted only in the upper story the old man only scalped or was he killed dead ? j Does your religion reach only down about that "unruly" member, so that j cut your head off, and soul and body would both be damned; or were you converted right down through, from head to foot, "soul, body, and spirit," pocket, pocket-book and all? Not merely the ceppers, three-cent pieces, and smooth fourpence; but those dollars and Eagles, and Y's and X's? Say, friend, when God converted you, did he convert house, barn, cellar, corn cribs, potato-bins, meal-bags and all? You have been praying for a.

Now, don't shrug your shoulders so, Fm not going to beg a sixpence from you; don't be alarmed, I wouldn't ask you to gire me a dollar for all the money you have in the world. Don't fret; all I want to know i3 whether your religion is- pocket-deep or not. Just think of it a little. I don't ask whether you would scatter every thing to the four winds if 'you knew the Lord was comin?: so that you coaldn t use it; but whether you are as ready to open "the bag" now when it can be of use, as at - some other time, when it will be scattered in haste and fear, and do no one any good, and perhaps will do much hurt, as ha3 often been the casein time past. In a word, is your religion pocket deep, cr 13 it only skin-deep? (Smo?$ and Crctni. A lady passing through New Hamp shire, observed the following notice on a board : . "Horses 'taken in to grass.
