THE TIMES.
One can scarcely turn :1 corner of the
street. without Cl’lCOlll'tt€I‘l3lg some one who is
exclaiming against the hard-ne.<:s gt" the times,
and the scarcity of inont.-y. Ever since the
conclusion of the late war, those complaints
have been faniiliar to all, and yet they seem
to have increased with the time which has c-
i{l]lSC(l. If no are not niistakcii in our views,
the crises has not yet arrived. ’l'iiis people
hail fattciied upon the distrcsscs of Europe.
So easy was nioney to be obtaiiieil, that ina-
ny, very many of us had aoticipatetl years
of growth, and in childhood began in busi-
iicss which required the nerve and wisdom of
nianliood to prosecute to advantage. In-
stead of governing ourselves by the niaxims
of prudence, we have gt-aspctl at the oinolu-
ments of fiittirit‘y, calciilating upon a pro-
longation of the miseries of the old world as
a sure guarantee of the prosperity of the
new. Governed by this fatal delusion‘, we
have anticipated our growth for many years ,
become involved in debt, and are now i'ea1‘bi’5"i'
ing the fruit of our folly. Before the good
old times will be restored to us, we shall have
to reform our habits. Wlicn we shall have
rciiovzitcd.tlicsc, when instead of depciidiffg.
on the arts of speculation, the clticaiiery of
the law, or the emoluments of ofiice for sup-
port, wc shall have laid hold on industry and
economy as the incans of subsistence, then
shall we begin to free ourselves from the biir-
tliens which now weigh so heavily upon us.
This NATION must lt‘.:tI'll to support herself,
year by year, instead ofriiiining into debt
for the gew-gaws of Eiiropc. }f we must

mon sense, let us not anticipate the produce
of our farms in their purcliase. Our COM-
MERCF. must not be greater than our AGRI-
CULTURE will warrant. . l.V'o farmer of pru-

the end, the prosperity of her citizens will be

ation of this country. Vile have bought. the

Everyseasoii brings with it its own" dis-
plays of the divine glory and perfe'ctions.-—-
The year in all its revolutions is but the va-
ried Gon. Winter is more suited than any
other to impress us with his niayesty and
power. Atiiidst the dreary barreiiness that
' surrounds us, we trace the footsteps of the
great God of nature, wliocoiitrouls the ele-
ments by his word, who layeth the beams of
his cliaiiibers in the waters, who inakctli the
clouds his chariot, and walkcth upon the
wings of the wind ; who saith unto the snow,
‘ be thou upon the earth,’ likewise the small
rain and to the great rain of his strength ;--
who gendercth the hoary frost of Heaven,
and scatteretli it like aelics 5--wlio scatterctli
forth his ice, like morsels, and bindeth up
the rivers as with bars and doors ; who look-
eth on the earth, and it trembleth, the pillars
of I-Icavcii are astonished at his reproof. Lo !
these are a part of his ways, but howlittle a
portion is heard of him. _
’I‘hese sublime dcsci-iptioiis of the majesty
of Goo, which fill the inspired pages of JOB
and D-tvln, and which no human language
can ever equal, recur with very lively im-
It is a sea-
son that awakens many solemn rcflections.
Nature is stript of her verdant beauty, and
presents us nothing but a dreary waste. It
has often been compared to the last years of
human life, and like them, it is not without its
pleasures. Like them it may have its many
_]oymcnts, its aiiiinatiiig hopes. To the pros-
perous and happy it brings a season for do-
mestic comfort, for social pleasures, and in-
tellectual improvement. Ncvcr are fainily
blessings so much felt as now. It assembles
and ll|lltt‘S_ the douicstic circle. It strength-
ens‘ our union and affection by bringing us
near to each other. In Summer we may en-
joy many solitary pleastii-es—we may rain-
blc .$e{.fis/ily and at’one-—-tlierc is then no do-
niestic heart to attract us. But now mutual
iiecbfisitics draw us constantly together, and
the,’clie‘ei'ful blaze that enlivens the parlors,
expands and gladdens our hearts. The kind-
ly wariiitli around us kindles a pure and gen-
eral warmth within, and while the storm is
raging and the elements are at war, inspires
the kindest affections, and most amiable
and endearing sympathies. How much is
there in these family enjoyments to .au§_,algent
our pious gratitude ! -i5u1'ewl.~ .the.y sliouldléad
us to that God of love, who sets the solitary
in families, who gives to the «ties of nature so
many charms, cheers us by each otliei=’s
smiles, and binds‘ us still iiearcr to each oth-
lersiiid to Hiiiiself, by making us sliare. to-
getlier in the kind boiinties of his providence.
‘it is he that covers our table and fills our cop,
who maketli peace in our borders, anti satis-
fics us with the finest of wheat, who clothes
and protects us from his cold, surrounds us
with the choicest comforts, and makes every
day and every hour a new iiionument of his
tender love. A
Winter too is the season for intellectual
improvement. I know of no port that has
even ventured upon a description of this sea-
son, without invoking some ancient sage,
some engaging historian or brother bard, to
relieve the glooms of its tedious evenings.—--
Thoinpsoii aiid Cowper, “ those sweetest
bards of iiiisf$ii'ed 'song.” have clothed some
admirable precepts in the most. alluri iig dress,
and I make no doubt, that many a fair read-
cr has found them most salutary counsellors.
Advice is generally so unpalatable a inedi-
cine, that it needs to be sweetened with the
charms of pocsy, and the Monitor will tli'orc-
fore venture no more tliaiijiist to rccoiiiineiid
to his female friends, should tliery find them-
selves growing weary of those winter cvc-'
nings, and longing’ for gaycr pleasures than"-
liome can give them, to go to these poetic
Jcounsellors, and he doubts not that a single
reading will abundantly reconcile them to
their “ fire side. enjoynieiits,” and make
and noisy gaicty of the ball room, for more
rational and improving pleasures.

We learn by letters written by a gentle-
man engaged in the polar expedition, a fact
altogether novel, viz. that what are called
icclierglis, are solid masses of ice of great
height above the surface of the water, and
of such depth as frequently to rest on the bot-
tom of the ocean. To those, the ships were
anchored : and says a letter, without them
there would be no navigating those seas ;—-
.‘;‘or after the men had towed anti warped the
ship from 12 to 14 hours, she would be adrift
again. and at the mercy of the ice, if you
could, not anchor in security, to one of these
enormous inasses-—-./ilbaiiy flrgus.
An eccentric crack brained genius whose
name is Moses Osgood, lately arrived in
London from America. and sent word to the
Lord Mayor, that he had an all important
itommiiiiication to make, which deeply con-
ccriind the prosperity of the British realm.
His lordship gave audience to the man, when
a long and ludicrous dialogue ensued. The
substance of the dialogue was, that he (Os-
good) had come from America to tender to
tlit». Prince ltcgent his alliance, to proffer
him it participation in the profits of a rich
gold mine which he had discovered upon his
estates : and to strengthen this alliance by
niarryiiig his sister, the princess Elizabeth.
On being told that the princess was already
married, he expressed deep regret, but nev-
ertheless offered to be satisfied with the hand
of the princess Mary. His lordship, after
sufficiently entertaining himself with the In-
natic, sent for the American Consul, and re-

unite those advantages as an elegant sternu-
tat0I‘_y, which Tobacco, combined with other in-‘

Scoth snuff is not only destitute of fine flaior, ___.;;
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and soonerorlater effects the
transparency, and colour ofthe skin. '1 he coarsci
black snuffs,‘ instead of clearing and stimulating
tli'e olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and
deaden them ; and in process of time, by stop-'
ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the
speech. The Volatile /lromatic S72‘1I_flfi will, by ex-"
perience, be found not liable to these objections--
tts flavor is fragrant and delightful--tlie effect
pleasing and salutary—it opens and purges the
head—sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to bafiie
it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be
of essential service to those who are troubled \\ iih-
long, dull, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for tliispurpose to tlieélephalic snuff.-

a complete antidote. During a tedious confine-‘
merit in a crowded house, or a wai m atrtiospliere,

which, when well secured, will, for a long tinec,
answer all the purposes of ii smelling bottle.--“
From its great antiputrcscent qualities, no com-
position is better quafliiied to resist coiitagion ; the
use of it therefore is indispensable for all those
who watch with, or visit the sick. All sedentary
