E'en the old wise Solomon, Who said, "train up a child,'" If I mistake not, raised a son, Gay, rattle-brained and wild. A man of mark, who &in would pass For lord of sea and land, May have the training of an ass, And bring him up full grand, May give him all the wealth of lore, Of college and of school; Yet after all, make him no more Than just a decent fool. Another raised by penury, Upon her bitter bread, Whose road to knowledge Is that The good for heaven must tread; Has but a spark of nature's light, Will 6m it to a flame. Till in its burning letters bright, ; The world may read his name. If it were all in bringing np, In counsel and restraint, Some rascals had been honest men? I'd been myself a saint. Oh, 'tisn't all in bringing up. Let folks say what they will, Neglect may aim a silver cup, It will be" silver still. attwrsms affpantutnt. A STABTHN6 IDEA ON FINANCE. About the beginning of the present century, the old bank of Albany (since defunct,) then presided over by thirteen distinguished representatives of Fatherland, issued its first circulating notes. Immediately after their reoeipt front the printer, an application for a loan of a few thousand dollars was made to the bank by a drover, well known in Albany for his ability and financial soundness. The loan was passed by the board, and the cashier ordered to pay the money, who, like a faithful . officer, revolved hi his mind as to what kind of money he would pay?whether it should be their own currency or gold. The first item puzzled him; it was new. The directors immediately reconvened, and the subject was laid before them. Chairs were drawn to the great fireplace, thirteen clay pipes were lightx ed, and discussion ensued upon the proposition to Dav out the new currencv. No satis factory conclusion was likely to be arrived at, until the following speech was made by one of the number: Gentlemen of the board: Those bills of ours, received to-day, have cost this bank a large sum of money. The engraver, the printer, the paper-maker and incidents, all nave to be paid. The thought of thesd^kpenses, so juslty incurred, does not stagger men in the least; for the bills are very fine, an ornament to the bank. But, gentlemen, when it is proposed to send these new bills into the far \Vc3t, there to be traded off for cattle?torn, soiled, and perhaps utterly destroyed?I, for one, solemnly protest. 1 venture, this moment, gentlemen, to assert the opinion, that should you be so unwise as to allow these new bills fo be sent North and West, broadcast beyond Lansingbursh, Schenectady and away to the other side of Utica (a5 I understand this man proposes to take some of them,) you will never see them again, so long as the bank of Albany has an existence or a name. The motion was lost and the gold was paid. How to Get a Dinner.?A gentleman who had traveled about pretty extensively was greatly perplexed to understand how it was that other persons were waited upon promptly and well served at the hotels, while he was almost entirely ignored and could scarcely obtain a square meal?complain to or swear at thfe waiters as he might! At last his eyes j j x- al. j.j r r : ! 1 were opeueu to tue uouge ui leeiug txie waiters liberally, aud being of an ingenious turrvof mind, he determined to improve on the plan. The next hotel he dined at, he took his seat very pompously at the table, and took out a well-filled pocket-book, extracted therefrom a ten dollar bill, which he laid on the white cloth beside his plate, and placed his goblet upon it. In an instant almost he was surrounded by waiters, who seemed to vie with : each other in attentions. Every wish was anticipated, and all the delicacies of the kitchen and pantry were placed before him in tempting array. Having fared as sumptuously as a prince (to the envy of many of the quests), he took up the greenback, and beckoning to the nearest waiter, was immediately besieged by half a dozen or so. Holding the bill in one hand, he pointed to it with the other, and inquired of the crowd: "Do you see that bill ?" "Oh, yes, sir," they all exclaimed in chorus. "Then take a good look at it," he replied, "for you will never see it again." Saying which, he departed, leaving the waiters aghast. Anecdote of Daniel Webster.?It is well known that the late Daniel Webster was a man of luxurious tastes and expensive habits, which frequently brought him into pecuniary difficulties. Apropos of this a friend sends us. from Washington the following anecdote, which we do not remember to nave seen in print: A western gentleman, shortly after the great statesmen's death, inveighed seriously, to a mutual friend, against these habits, and enforced his remarks with a practical illustration. "Why, sir," he exclaimed, "I traveled all night with Webster in a stage coach out West, not long ago, and in the morning we all got out at a little hotel to stretch our legs and get breakfast. Webster took up a traveling case, with combs, hair brush aud tooth brush, all of which he used vigorously. When he'd got through I asked him to lend me his tooth brush, as there ?. _ -i .L- -!-L ?1 1 1 1 wasn l any hi me siuk. wuere we wosiieu, auu ; Mr. Webster courteously complied. After i using and rinsing it off I handed it back ; bud ; will you believe it? the extravagant fellow j just pitched it over iuto the bushes. It was a J good new brush, too, and might have lasted ; him two or three months longer. No wonder j he was always in debt" A School Boys' Composition on the j Bull Frog.?The bull frog is green. If I' could jump like one I could neat a pig or two j pigs. Frogs is a bald-beaded animal, but he can't draw timber for a meetin' house If I i was a frog it would hurt me to stand on my j head to 3ee the President sworn in. Janaj Martin wears a red dress, and hopped at me j when I didn't know it. It scared me so I ' jumped to. If frogs could run with a fire j machine it would be fun to go, for they are j all Baptists. When they growl they don't - bite. Mother melted- the bottom out of her j tea-pot, and Lordy, how dad ripped about it.' Geese have more feathers than young frogs, J but geese don't give milk. Nor does a wild j frog. When ashes are worth fifteen cents a ; bushel is the best time to go frogging. Little 1 frogs peep, but who is afraid ? Scrambled i frogs are nice in. cold coffee, but as for me, j give me liberty or death, but no frogs or a j revolution in France. I'm goin' to sell my | dog, and see then if he won't fetch something, j Frogs never have the mumps, but they al- ! ways come with a spring. Thos. Shine. Pulpit Ingenuity.?A preacher in the neighborhood of Blackfriars London, not undeservedly popular, had just finished an exhortation strongly recommending the support of a certain very meritorious institution. The congregation was numerous, and the chapel | crowded to excess. The discourse being fin- j ished, the plate was about to be handed round to the respective pews, when the preacher, made this Bhort address to the congregation:! "From the sympathy I have witnessed in your countenances, and the strict attention you have honored me with, there is only one thing , I am afraid of; that some of you may be in- j clined to give too much. Now it is my duty to inform you, that justice, though not so pleas- j ant, should always be a prior virtue to gene-1 rosity, therefore, as you will be immediately : waited upon in your respective pews, I wish to have it understood, that no person will, think of putting anything in the plate who \ cannot pay his debts." We need not add that this produced an overflowing collection. Childtrn's fjejiattmcnt. CHARITY TO ALL. "Will you give me work, please do?" said a sad voice to me one day, as I sat on ray bench, working away industriously on a new pair of fairy gaiters for Mrs. S., in Moore j street, in the village of P . I am a shoe- j maker, little reader, and you know when you i look at the warm tight covering on'your feet, ! < that you could not well do without ray awl and !: pegs. My back was to the door of my little ' ( shop when I heard the sad voice ; but I turned !, quickly around, and there stood in the doorway a poor miserable roan, with the marks of 1 disease plainly on his face. He was poorly, 1 but neatly clad, but there was dust all over < him. His weary look, the little pack he had I < left outside the door, and the great oaken , staff he carried, showed me that he had traveled a great way. I got up and walked over ' to him saying: 1 "Roallv T min't crivA vnn anvfhincr tn Hn_" 1 although at the time 1 could, for I had a 1 great many men working for me, as the shoe-1 < makers say, "outside." j j "But, sir, I am sick, and have no money, i, I would like to work very much," he said,! with a look that touched me. "See, sir, here |' is is a letter signed with the names of many i{ of the good men in the city of P ." 1 "But," said I, taking the letter, "why don't t you stay in the city, I know there is plenty of work there for all who want it ?" "But I am sick, sir. In the city?in the ^ damp, close garrets?I could not do as much work as other shoemakers, and I was dis- s charged from each place almost as soon as I 8 got it. Besides, the confinement has reduced < me to what I am, and it was fast killing me; c so I left to come to the country, where I hoped s to grow better." ( "Pshaw!" I answered, "that is a pretty sto- i ^ ry to tell me. How do I know but that . you are some hypocritical thief or murderer * in disguise, come here with a winning tale to 1 deceive me; I don't believe a word you say. t Take your letter and go. Rogues from the i city cannot always fool us, even if we do live t in the country." j I don't know what made me say this, for as I have just said, the marks of disease seemed 1 plain on his face, unless it was for a great ' while I had grown selfish and cross to every body that asked a favor of me, and just the f opposite to those that gave me favors. Do ( not say that I was mean, narrow hearted, for } I have repented. The poor traveler looked at me a little ' while, and half murmured, "Please dobut ' he anon straightened himself un. nicked ud 1 ~ "" 0~" T' 4 ~4T I his pack, and slowly walked away. As he ' went, my heart almost melted, but I made it ? hard again by saying, "Oh! he's only an impostor. He deserves all he got." ***** I "Oh! Mr. Jenkins! Mr. Jenkins!" cried my j little boy, breathlessly, as he rushed into my shop the next morning; "there's a man been found dead in the woods just down the road a little piece. Do come and see him." "Stop, 8top, Johnny!" said I, "don't make so much noise. What use can I be there?"' But I had a woman's curiosity, and I went. There were a good many people these, standing around, waiting for our coroner, who lived some miles away. I pushed through; and who should the dead man be but the man who a9ked me for work! He lay under a tree, his head upon his pack, and his face to the skies. The worn look was on his face, Oh, so sad! The coroner came, and after the inquest the body was taken to my house and the effects examined. A great many things were taken out and amongst the very last a letter. I opened it and read it It was his last words to whoever should find him. I read halfj through, and then I didn't know anything for a great while?I bad fainted. Little reader, the dead man was my brother, from whom I had been separated for years. Oh, how I cried, how my heart ached, how I was tortured with remorse. I thought I never could forgive myself. I had driven ! ray brother from ray door, and killed him! i Even now I tremble from head to foot, and it pray God, with streaming eyes, to forgive me. Never, never, shall I forget it.

ROBERT LATH AN. ! [Original.] WHY NO TBELIEYE IN CHRIST 1 Commonly, the word infidel is restricted in ; ts application to those who are openly oppo-1 jed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. As thus restricted, there are infidels of all shades and jharacters ; from the low and obscene vagabond to the polished atheist. None of these igree amongst themselves. The only platform upon which they agree, is that which apposes the Bible and the plan of salvation which it reveals. There is no unity of sentiment amongst them; neither is there any concert of action. They have no creed in common?no system which forms a universal bans of action. The only thing about which they agree, is that the Bible must be ostracised, and Jesus crucified. As there are inSdels in every land, is it proper to inquire why this is so? If any mere human enter prise was opposed by a respectable minority >f individuals, it would be prudent to inquire ivliy they set up their opposition. Why then lo not men believe the gospel ? In general terms, we might answer because >f the innate depravity of the human heart, he beclouded state of the human mind and itubborn condition of the human will. In one lense, it is a matter of wonder that all men lo not eagerly embrace Christ; and in anoth;r sense, it is not to be wondered at. It is limply what Christ foretold. It is a miracle >f God's grace that any believe. Christ alvays finds the sinner; the sinner never finds Christ until he is first found by the Saviour. Embracing Christ as the saviour of sinners is he result of the quickening and enlightening nfluence of the Holy Spirit. The death of Fesus alone will not save the soul. We must >e begotton from above. We must become lew creatures. These are results which can )e effected by nothing less than omnipotence. They are the appropriate works of the Holy spirit When we consider the innate aversion )f the natural man to the work of the spirit, ind the absolute necessity that this work be iccomplished before any can in reality embrace the gospel, the wonder is not that so few oelieve; but that any at all believe. The svonders of God's love consists as much in his itrivings with man in order that he may be Drought into the kingdom of grace, as in the ?act that Jesus Christ the first and only son )f the Father, died for sinners. The reason ;hen that so many do not embrace the gospel, is because they are opposed to the work of ;he spirit. It cannot be said that it is be?use they do not desire heaven and happiiess but prefer misery. All men?yes all jentient creatures desire happiness and dread Misery. But strange as it may seem, men do ove the cause which produces misery, and late the cause which produces happiness. All men love sin?love to violate God's laws, md at the same time live-in continual dread )f the consequences of sin. All men have an iversion to a life of holiness, and at the same ;ime desire the final rewards of such ?life. A variety of reasons may he assigned for ;his state of things, none of which are crediable to the head or heart. All those who esist the wooing of the Holy Spirit are grossy ignorant and maliciously wicked. It is lot meant that they are ignorant of what nay be called mere human learning. In this hey may be well versed ; but they have no correct knowledge of the character of God ind their own moral nature. God in their jyes is like themselves?a being limited in jowet and changeable in purpose. He is not snown as that awfully holy Being in whose | iight the heavens are unclean, and who iharges his angels with folly. The character j >f God is not learned by them neither from ;he Bible nor from the works of creation, rhe god of the deist is not the God of the Bible, neither, is he the God by whose omni-1 jient power all things were brought into be-; ng, and who protects and preserves all things n being. The deist's god is a creature that las an existence only in his own morbid imagination. It is a being like himself, filled j with evil nassions and vile lusts, partial and J jnjust in his dealings. The head of the deist ] is filled with vain and foolish imaginations, I md his heart is full of all wickedness. The ! nan who rejects the God of the Bible, and j sows at the shrine of a being of his own workmanship, is not only a fool, but is desperately wicked besides. At heart he is covetous, malicious, envious and deceitful. At heart be is a murderer, a fornicator; and iu practice he is anything that he can be, and at the same time escape the arm of tlfe law. He has a head and heart that fits and prepares hira for being and doing any and every thing that is disgraceful to himself and insulting to God. The only reason that he does not ha-! tsitually act out in full the principles that are within him, is because he is kept in check by the restraining grace of God. That he is not what the worst men on earth have been, is i not due to him ; but to the strong arm of God , which permits him as he does the storm and ;empest, to go so far and no farther. His )bedience is the obedience of the horse or nule. This is not mere theory. Men who reject J Fesus Christ are universally and notoriously j gnorant on religious subjects, and in practice j wicked. The gross deeds whioh have been ! perpetrated on this earth, never were per- j brmed by individuals under the influence of ;he Holy Spirit. The man that possesses a j correct Bible knowledge of God, and whose leart has been softened by the Spirit of God,! ilways makes a good member of society. This jannot be said of those who reject Jesus. -The , reverse is true. No man who understands j my thing about the principles and results of! Christianity, and who knows anything about I ;he history of Benedict Arnold, would ever j conclude that he was actuated by the princi-! pies of Christianity in plotting the surrender )f West Point. He may have professed | Christianity, but he had never embraced the j saviour, or he never could have contemplated juch an act with any other feeling than those )f abhorrence. Sometimes young men form a contempt for religion on the ground that it is an evidence )f mental imbecility, to practice it. These persons think, or at least seem to think, that ihey thus give evidence of mental power by rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a pity ihat any young man would suffer himself to ' De so grossly deceived. Would it be an evi- j ience of intellectual calibre for an individual j io shut himself up in some gloomy cave and ! pretend that his lamp shed more glorious rays ;han the sun ? The world would not be slow in pronouncing such an individual insaue. Why is not the young man who sets up his udgment in opposition to the decisions of all ;he truly great and good men the world has jver produced, not insane ? He is morally nsane, and unless cured of his moral aberra;ions, will bring the gray hairs of his father md mother to the grave in sorrow. The remits of rejecting Christ are fearful. 1 M* ti the legislature. OFFICIAL. | AN ACT To incorporate the Waccamaw. and Little River Canal Company. "V ^ j Section 1.
