r~"~ Remarkable instance of Canine Sagacity. e A gentleman of property bad a mastiff of I ofgreaUize, Tory watchful, and, a fine inteU ? ftgent animal. Though often let out to i range about, lie was in general chained up i during the day in a wooden house cohsruc. i tod for his comfort and shelter. On a t certain day, when let out he was observed ( to attach himself particularly to his master; 1 and when the servant, as usual, came to tie him up, he clung to his master's feel? showed such anger when they attempted to force him away, and altogether was so particular in his manner, that the gentle. man desired him to be left as he was, and ' with him he continued the whole day; night ' came on, still lie staid by him, and on going ' towards his bed-room the dog resolutely, 1 ?nd for the first time in his life, went up along with him, and rushing into the room, took refuge under the beJ, from whence neither blows nor caresses could draw nim. io the middle of the night a man burst into the room, and dagger in hand attempted to slab the sleeping gentleman ; but the dog darted at the robber's neck, fastened his fangs in him, and so kept him down that his Inaster had time to call for assistance and secure the ruffian, who turned out to be the coachman, and who after wads confessed, that seeing his master receive a large sum of money he and the groom conspired to. gether to rob and murder him and that they plotted their whole scheme leaning over the foofof tlie dog's house!?Dublin Magazine. Extraordinary Discovery of an Ancient Print, ing Pres# in India.?When Warren Hastings ' vu Governor General-of India, he observed that in fhe district of Benares, a little below the sur. face of the earth, Was to be found a stratum of a hind of fibrous wooden subntance, of various tbickoeeees, in horizontal Tajers. Major Roebook, informed of ihis, went out tosspot where tn excavation bad been mStfe, displaying this sin* gulur phenomenon. lu digging somewhat deeper for further rcseaorli, they laid open a vault, which on examination proved to be of some size, and to their astonishment, they found a kind of printing press, set up in the vault, and on it moveable types, placed as if ready for pointing. "Every enquiry was set "on foot to ascertain the 1? Mini, an instrument ptWHHia pviiuu at ??... ... could have been placed there, For it was evidently not of modern origin, and from all the Major could collect, it appealed probable that the place had remained in the state in which k was found frr at leant 1000 years. We believe, the worthy Major on bis return to England, presented oue I ~ of the lea mod associations with a memoir containing many curioUs speculations on the subject. Paper we know to have been manufactur,s._ ed in the East many centuries before we had any fcnoKrfa ge of it, and we have many reasons to "dlfctofc (hat tbo Chinese have been acquairftqd tilth the mode of printing they now employ tnany centuries before fcaust invented it in Eu-j tope. It certainly docs no credit to the inventive genius of the. Romans, to know that they ap proachel so igar as to engrave in a style not to le equalled In the present age, on gems and stones, and ef course the taking of impressions fvom thein, that they should still havo remainod Ignorant of the art which has bestowed so many blessings on mankind. A SOT TELLING HIS TROUBLES TO THE SAVIOUR. Severn! years since, there lived a boy in the Great Volley of the West, who had wicked parents that took him away from the sabbarh school. One Sabbath morning, his father and mother locked him into a chamber, for fear n I l ,L o?L-..i he wouhl run away to tne oaooain ocwoi. i After his parents bad shut and locked >he f chamber door, and gone down, he tvgan to think how bis kind teacher once fold the class that, **if they ever had any difficulty fir trouble, they must go and tell the Saviour of it, and pray tot him," Anrf as he snt there alone, and remembered his Sabbath school and his dear teacher, the poor child . thought whhin himfeelf, tlI am" now in difficulty and trouble surely, and 1 will go and tell the Saviour." So he knelt down and 4 began to pray. His tnotlier, knowing how strong was til's love to the Sabbath school, thought he -might try to escaph by the window, and perhaps get hurt, so she went up softly to _ his chamber door and looked through the key hole. And there was her dear boy upon his knees, crying unto God in prayer. Tfle mpther could not witness *uoh a scene ? Unmoved. H< r heart was melted; she opened the door, went in, and kneeling'by his side begged that he would pray (or Iter. Presently the latlier came in, and weut to the chamber lot the sumo reason that the mother had gone before, to s o if the child.was there, and what he was doing. As lie ascended the stairs, lie saw that the door was a jar. His first thought was, that the mother had let the boy out, and he was very angry.. But when he entered the the room, and saw his little son on his knees end the mother .kneeling by his side, it s anger gave place to the most 'under affection for his child, and an overwhelming sense of his-own wickedness, and he knelt . down on the other side, and begged thru he too might be remembered in prayer! The* result of that affecting scene was, the wicked father and mothers hopeful ^ouversioa to <Jod? 9 - . *|f. t . .

We always want to take ( nnd apply this story, win u? ver we hear ' suc h tenable cfoakuig us our cars are ( sometimes burdvnid with hearing. Says t otie, "The temperance cause has not done j a bit of good: there's as much drinking now , as there ever was."

The young man, who is the subject of the following poetical lines, I knew when ] was at the University where he was considered a youth of splendid acquirements and brilliant talents. Me read raine and Voltaire, and unfortunately imbibed their horrible opinions, and believed in their annihilating doctrines. I often remonstrated with hirn, but being superior to me in point of intellect, he laughed me to scorn, while he ridiculed Christianity, the glory of the world. Ah! said I, your doctrine may do to live with, but it will not do in the awful hour of death, when the greedy grave opens before you. Should you live longer than I, returned the young man, 1 will show you how a philosopher can die, or as you term me, a skeptic. Poor fellow! he little thought that I should live to witness his death, one of the "most horrible and heart.rending scenes that I ever beheld, and 1 hope in God that I mav never witness such another.? Oh! that agonizing look is now before me, and his groans of penitence and terror, and of hopeless misery and remorse, still ring in my ears. - God grant that when the things of life are fading from my view, and* the vista of the future is opening before me, the sun of my existence may go down without a cloud, and that I may go to the grave in the perfect faith of the glorious Gospel, which was instilled into my mind ip childhood, at my affectionate and pious mother's knee. God grant that I may never know the hor. rors of him who was my fellow student and friend, who proved the fact, that "with the talents of an ang<l a man mny bo a fool.!' * ' * I saw him in the bloom of youth, Ere he had fell affliction's rod; He spurnd the sacred book of truth, The gk)iiou8 Gospel of our God; And scorn'd the Almighty Power above, Whose eye creation's scope may scan; And read the source"of hate or love, Within the heart of thankless man. *' j, m To. him a gracious God had gfrch ? \The gift of genius, toenrvey The wondrous works of earth and heav'n, Spread out in beautiful array;,,. Rut, ah! Creation, to Was but a wild, a rude romance; Sprung from the realms of ray less night, By dark and undesigning CHANCE. He saw'the charming seasons change, And flowers bloom out and blush foi man; ^ But in all nature's radiant range, The MIGHTY MIND he could not scan. Each spire of grass, each being born, Should have convinced a mind so wise; And yet, he even laughed to scorn A suffering Saviour's sacrifice. ^ ' ' * 1 saw the dying Deist roll * Upon an agonizing btjd; Hell's horrors harrow'd up his 6oul, His eye-balls startling from Ins bead With streaming eyes, I saw bim stretch His impious hands to Heav'n, in pray'r Save! save!
