Every thing being prepared, and the ship'** com pany assembled to witness the punish ment, captain Howe made a long fcrangue to the culprit on tlie enor mity of his crime.

Royal Favor.?A low Frenchman bragged that the king had spoken to him. Being asked w lint his majesty had aid, he replied, "He bade me itand out of tho way." A tar passing by one of those cor ners in Philadelphia, where idlers assemble for the use of the sun in cold weather, observed one basking, and called out, " Hoa brother, what latitude are you in, for I observe fc>ou are taking tin sun Fonteuelle being asked by a Lord one day at Versailles, 4 what differ ence there was between a clock and a woman, replied, < a clock seems to point out the hours, aud a womau to make us forget them.' ? ? ? ? ? m Royal pay to Poets.?It is said, that W alter Scott has been paid by his booksellers, half a croicn a line, for some of bis poetical productions. ???????

Does are a favorite food in China, and their flesh is common in the shambles.?When the butchers are dragging (** is customary) half a dozen to the slaughter-house, they are attacked by all the dogs within the bearing of the cries of their fel lows, so that they are obliged to have people to defend them with sticks. ' The commou people of China will eat any animal, even if they have died of sickness, such as dead horses and dogs that they see floating down the channels. China is certainly the most plentiful, yet from the vast su perabundance of the inhabitants, no people suffer such misery as the low est order; the produce of the earth frequently is insufllcient to sup|>ort such multitudes; this, not waut of affection, compels them to expose their infunls to death. In China children are esteemed a peculiar bles sing. In. time,of famine, or when the mother falls sick, or their milk fails, they,expose themiirthe streets, or leave them to be murdered by the mkl wives such horrid sights are frequent in the streets of Pekin and Qantoo.

It is not talking but walking with God, that gives a man thp deuomi nation of a christian. * Darkness may as well put on the nature of light, as a wicked man the name of christian. > It is our main business in this world *to ensure atl interest in the next. A desire of happiness is natural, a desire of iioiiness is supernatural. If God has done that good for us, which he has denied to the world, we 4Might to do that service for him which is denied him hy the world. A serious remembrance of Hod is fountain oliedience to God. If y.ou forget God when you are young, Gad may forget you when von are old. When a christian considers "the goodness of God's ways, he wonders that all the world dolh not walk iti them.?But when lie considers the blindtics*, au?l depravity, ami pre judice of tlie heart by nature, lie | wonders tlut any man should enter upon them. Make your calling sure and your election is sure. Uneven walking, with a neglect of watching, makes a disconsolate soul. Four tilings a Christian should especially labor after, viz. to be hum ble and thankful, watchful and cheer ful. If we would not fall into thing* unlawful, we must sometimes cK*ir* ourselves in those that are lawful. Salvation then draws near to man whetf it is his main care. t Select Ilemaitis.
