THE SAILOR'S SONG. 



Forget me not, when midst the winds careering, 



I pour my song of tenderness to thee : 

 When o'er the wuve my joyous bark is steering, 

 Forget not nie '. 



Forget me not, wlien million stars are beaming, 



And the fjir moon is shining tranquilly ; 

 In thought's sweet vision, when my heart is dreaming. 

 Forget not me ! 



Forget me not, when all those stars are melting 



In the moon's light — and the suns lays we see, 

 Where late night's lamps the firmament were belling, 

 Forget not me '. 



Forget me not, when the storm spirits waking. 



Make war on man, and tempests furiously 

 Pillars of earth and dome of heaven are shaking ; 

 Forget not me ! 



Forget me not, when into fury dashing, 



The swarthy billows furrow the deep sea; 



When all the elemeuts are fiercely clashing, 



Forget not me ! 



Forget me not, in twilight, morn or even. 



When on the waves the stars sink smiliu^jly ; — 

 I think of thee, as saints converse with heaven — 

 Forget not me !

Tlie spirit of true i-eligion breathes gentleness 

 and affability. It is social, kind and cheerful ; far 

 removed from the gloomy and illiberal superstition 

 which clouds the brow, sharpens the temper, de- 

 jects the spirit and teaches men to fit themselves 

 for another worlil by totally neglecting tlie con- 

 cerns of this. Let your religion, on the contrary, 

 connect preparation for heaven with an honorable 

 discharge of the duties of active life. Of such re- 

 ligion, discover on every proper occasion, that you 

 are not ashamed ; but avoid making any ostenta- 

 tion of it before the world.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERANCE. 

 Sir Henry Blunt died in Hertfordshire some 

 time in the year 1682, at the very great age of 90. 

 It is related of this gentleman that he transferred 

 his estate, with the inheritance, producing between 

 four and five hundred pounds per annum, to Sir 

 John Haver of Derbyshire, on condition that he 

 should receive an annuity of £1000 for life. The 

 temptation on the part of the latter, appears to 

 have arisen from the character of Blunt who was 

 ardently fond of travelling, and not less so of the 

 bottle, two propensities which promised a speedy 

 and ])rofitable termination of the anniud |iayment. 

 Blunt, sensible of the advantage he liad obtained, 

 determined to lead a new life, and became one of 

 the most temperate of men, and acliuilly received 

 forty thousand pounds for his inheritance. "This,"

in company with a man, whom we soon ascer- 

 tained to be a well-to-live-in-the-world farmer. 

 In the course of conversation upon various sub- 

 jects, principally agricultural, we found he was 

 just returning from our own town, where he had 

 that day contracted for the sale of five hun- 

 dred bushels of wheat at seventyfive cents 

 per bushel. From this subject our conversation 

 changed to that of newspapers, and upon ascer- 

 taining that he was not a subscriber to any paper, 

 we offered him ours. But the man had so many 

 ways for his money, he could not afford it. We 

 then asked him if he vvouhl become a subscriber, 

 in case we could convince him that if he had taken 

 the paper, he would have saved, in one bargain 

 alone, five times the cost of it for a year. He 

 agreed to this; and we took from our pocket one 

 of our latest papers, in which was an advertise- 

 ment offering to contract for any quantity of wheat 

 at eightyone cents per bushel. Thus we illustra- 

 ted to our farmer fi'iend, that if he had been a 

 reader of our paper, he might have saved six rents 

 on each of his five hundred bushels of wheat ; 

 making a total of thirty dollars — sufficient to pay 

 for our paper for fifteen years. He paid us two 

 dollars, and left us, growling at himself for having 

 been so negligent of his true interests. — Erie Ohs.

NEVER TREAT RELIGION LIGHTLY 



Impress your minds with reverence , for all that 

 is sacred. Let no wantonness of youthful spirits, 

 no compliance with the intemperate mirth of oth- 

 ers, ever betray you into profane sallies. Besides 

 the guilt which is tliereby inctiried, nothing gives 

 a more odious appcarafice of the petulance and 

 presumption of youth, than the afl'ectation of treat-

Curious Geological Fact. — We have been in-

 ces, was lately discovered imbedded in the centre 

 of a solid rock, about ten feet in diameter, on a 

 tract of coal land on the Broad Mountain, known 

 as the Pott and Bannan tract. The rock was a 

 displaced fragment lying near the surface of the 

 ground, found in the vicinity of the line of the
