be evident to all and I have been induced to cut it out of a paper and send it to you with a hope that you will think it of sufficient merit for a place in your literary page Some one like myself may profit by j the lesson of the by asking himself if habit has not rendered seine folly or vice so familiar to his mind as to blunt the sensibilities so much that he has become accustomed now to that which he should at one time have spurned from him ing the reader will profit by the cate admonition therein contained 1 commend it to notice B THE MORAL OF AX Thompson's beautiful description of the pleasures of early rising inspired me with great respect for the habit but it is said that the recreant bard sinned shamefully against his own poetry that he seldom rose earlier than ten and was so indolent as to stand under a peach tree with both hands in his et gnawing a peach from the bough and I must confess that I his admirer am half as great a sinner as himself Nevertheless I have always had a very philosophical theory on this subject I have always maintained that it was a fine thing to walk a few miles before breakfast I tried it once and came home with the pearls upon my and a legion of busy imps gnawing and tearing my brain I was stupid and miserable the whole day after ever I was easily convinced that all this was because I was unused to the experiment I maintained my theory and gave up the practice But like other wayward mortals I felt some twinges of conscience I could not bring myself to the same state of mind as the man who loved pork sively and mourned that he was not a Jew that he might have the pleasure of eating and sinning at the same ment so I bought an Loudly and faithfully the machine did its rattled and buzzed in my ear like a steam engine I raised my head wondered whether it could be so late thought it looked very cold and went to sleep again The same thing occurred several days in succession yet I was still scrupulously exact in ar- ranging the noisy monitor At last I heard no more of it I excused my late rising by saying that my watch was out of order I carried it to the maker and complained that it did not wake me He examined it carefully and it perfectly in order When it roused you did you rise ly he asked I was ashamed to con- fess that I had never obeyed its ing Then the mystery is all replied the watchmaker Those who do not attend to an soon cease to hear it the drowsy ear be- comes accustomed to the sound thought 3 hei e is a moral if mortals would but lay it to heart Bring of a social disposition I at that time myself in a game of v hist now and then the habit ly increased I found at rani table almost At iii st 3 fell under the I rf i ness of wasting so much time but j troubled me less and less I j not what might bine come of I not looked at my lately saw a New had been residing the a at 1 thought of my alarm watch and sighed And who is there that may not find fitting occasion in his own life to apply the moral of the alarm The profligate feels ashamed of his first ex- cesses the drunkard is restless and miserable when he first brings upon himself the fiery curse the knave feels the sting of guilt hen he commits his first fraud the young votary of the world often feels a heart yearning for something purer and more satisfactory than he finds in the insipid game of ion and never without an inward struggle did women consent to ex- change principle and for worldly ambition and selfish policy The alarm watch is in perfect order but they who disregard its warning soon cease to hear its voice Journal THE SABBATH The following is an extract from stone's Commentaries Profanation of the Lord's day says Blackstone is an offence against Gocl and religion punishable by the pal law For besides the notorious in- decency and scandal of permitting any secular business to be transacted on that day in a country professing ity and the of morals thut usually follows its profanation the keeping one day in seven holy as a time of relaxation and refreshment as well as for public worship is of ble service in a state considered ly as a civil institution It by the help of conversation and society the manners of the lower classes which would otherwise degenerate into a did ferocity and savage selfishness of enables industrious working man to pursue his occupation in the ensuing week with health and cheerfulness it imprints on the minds of the people that sense of their duty to God so necessary to make good but which would be worn out and defaced by an ance of labor without any stated times for recalling them to the worship of their Maker our intelligent friend John Hidge or as he is called in his tive dialect was reading Col speech at our elbow a day or two since on coming to the following sage he made a practical commentary which struck us very forcibly and we commend it to Hayne himself li to which we refer is abandoned the hospitable mansions of our fathers deserted drooping our slaves like their masters working harder and ring worse the planter striving with unavailing efforts to avert the ruin which is before him It has often been my lot Sir to see the once thriving planter reduced to despair cursing his hard fate gathering up the small of his broken with his wife and his little ones tearing self from the scenes of his childhood and the bones of his ancestors to seek in the wilderness that reward for his industry of which your fatal policy has deprived him Now said Mr Ridge this is tive with South Carolinians but with us if is reality It is a terrible thing even in the imagination of Col Hayne for his people to be compelled to emigrate with their wives their litile ones tearing themselves from the scenes of their childhood and the bones of their ancestors to

veracity Mr Bailey had a FLAT which was frozen in the river some distance from the shore and posing that the ice would soon break up concluded to have it brought to the land lie had succeeded in it loose and sent his hired man for the oxen to haul it out In the absence ol this person the iee on the river ly started and when he returned to the shore he discovered Mr Bailey in the Hat in the middle of the river ded by ungovernable cakes of ice out a pole or paddle to protect his boat from their bumps or to assist him in escaping from the threatened danger The circumstance occurred in the ning and soon attracted the attention ol the people who followed along the banks of the river watching with alarm his perilous situation but possessing no means wherewith to cue him The horrid feelings of these his distressed and of this now forlorn and distracted man himself can scarcely be imagined But in merely noticing the occurrence we will permit Mr Builey to float down the river until he arrives within a short distance of the Muncy Dam without a- ny remark It was just breaking cries of the distressed man sounded over the a- expanse and echoed from hill to hill awakening the neighboring from their peaceful slumbers to feelings of the most indescribable ror It was the piercing cry of actual the repeated shouts of a fellow mortal whose mind had be- come frantic from a knowledge of the danger which now stared him full in the face But a few hundred yards further and he must enter a place from which it would be a miracle if he ped the cold grasp of the OF RORS t- r
