BEECH TREE’S PETITION:
BY '1'. CAMPBELL. .

OH leave this barren spot to me,

Spare, Viloodman, spare the Beecheti tree:

Though shrub or flow’ret never grew,

My wan unwanning shade below,

Nor fruits of autump blossom born

My green and glossy leaves adorn, _

Nor murmuring tribes from me derive

The ambrosial treasures of the hive, .

Yet leave this little spot to me,

Spare, Woodman, spare the Beechen tree.

Thrice twenty summers I have stood
In bloomless, fruitless solitude ;

Since, childhood in my nestling bower
First spent its sweet and sportive hour,
Since youthful lovers in my shade
Their vows of truth and rapture paid,
And on my trunk’s surviving frame
Car-v’d many a long forgotten name.
Oh, by the vows of gentle sound

17' ‘st breath’d upon this sacred ground,
By all that love hath whisper’d here,
Or Beauty heard with ravish’d ear,

As Loves own altar honour me,

Spare, VVoodman, spare the Beechen tree.

_ son '1‘!-IE GAzE'r'ri«;..
SABBATH SCHOOL.

On the 12th of April, 1818, a number of gen-
tlemen and ladies in Middlesex, met and formed
themselves into a society, by the uzuiie of the
“ Mliddlesczr Sabbath Sc/tool ./Issocialion.”

The object of the Association was to teach
Children, who needed assistance, to read, and to
instruct all who would attend, in principles of re-
ligion and morality. The school was opened on
the second Sabbath in May, and continued about
..six months. The whole number of children that
attended, is about 180 ; the average number that
attended each Sabbath, is about 67. They were
divided into twelve classes, and teachers appoint-
ed to each class. The greater part of the child-
ren could read in the Testament. The school
was uniformly opened and closed with prayer.
The exercises of the children in the school were,
reading the scriptures, anti reciting select passa-
ges of scripture, hymns, and catechisms, which
they had committed to memory.
instructed in the first rudiments of learning.

It was highly gratifying to those who justly
appreciate the importance of the rising genera-
tion, to see so goodly anumbcr of children come
forward to attend upon religious instruction, and
to observe their general good conduct, and the
great progress many of them have made incom-
mitting to memory passages of scripture, hymns
and catechisms. The whole number of verses
of Scripture that have been recited, is 16,200-—
answers ofCatechisms, lO,579.\4'erses of I-lymns,
3,9 12. Numbers of the children have highly
distinguished theinselves by committing to mem-
ory many verses of scripture, and answers of cat-
echisms, every week. They have often recited
from 80 to 150 at one time. One has recited 21 15
verses, Ste. ; another 1838, anti another 1535, and
several others nearly as many. The pious heart
will leap for joy to see so many of the rising gen-
eration attending to religious instruction, and
storing their minds with the important truths of
God’s holy‘ word. By means of the Sabbath
school, numbers of children, who before, rarely,
if ever, entered the house of God. or received
any religious instruction, have regularly attended
the worship of God, and have been taught the
principles and doctrines of our holy religion.

From the increasing attention to Sabbath
schools, and the instruction of our children, may
we not consider the present time as an era which
promises much with respect to the future en-
largement anti prosperity of the Church of God.
Through the divine blessing on the. exertions
that are made, we have reason to hope that niany
01 the young will be rescued from the paths of
ignorance and folly, and be excited to walk in the
pleasant ways of piety and religion.

It has been highly pleasing to see numbers of
pious young people cheerfully tender their servi-
ces to instruct the children. May their labors of
love prove a blessing to their own souls, as well
as to the souls of the children they have endeav-
ored to lead in the paths of heavenly wisdom.

V A contagious fever broke out at Bridgewatcr,
New-iVlilford, in Novcmberlast, known by the
name of the .Marryz'ng fever. Although the
place is thinly inhabited, it has spread with great
rapidity. The old and the young have alike fell
victims to the disorder. This fever, which bids
fair to be a death blow to Celibacy’, first made its
appearance in the cases of Roswell iiforris and
Lyman Smith, who in one evening led to the altar,
Laura Canficld and Susan I/Voostcr. The other
cases now recollccted are, fllrnorz Smith to Almi-
zra Squire, ./fuguslus Squire to Betsey Frisby,
fIorace Treat to Eli.-y Bennett, George .Hurd to

, ‘ Jlfurdcr will out.’—--By the recent burning of
a barn at Troy, New-Hampshire, some human
bones were discovered, which brought to mind
the sudden disappearance of a stranger 14 or 1'5

EVV or none of the snuffs in ordinary use-
unite those advantages as an elegant sternu-
‘tatory,'which Tobacco, combined with other in-
'gredients, is capable ofproducing‘. The common
Scotti snuff is not only destitute of fine flavor,
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and sooner or later effects the
transparency, and colour ofthe skin. The coarse
black snuffs, instead of clearing and stimulating
the 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. Tlie Volatile ./lromatic Srzzgfi", will, by ex-
perience, be found not liable to these objections-
its flavor is fragrant and delightful-—-the effect
pleasing and salutary—it opens and purges the
bead—-sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to baffle
it. By repeated experiments, it is known tobe
of essential service to those who are troubled with
long, dull, nervous head-aches, and will be found
for superior for thispurpose to theCephalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh, or what is commonly called
a cold in the liead,a pinch or two taken at nigh-
on going to bed, will, by moistening the mucus,
.ef’fectually remove all obstructions before morn-
All those troubled with the hypochondria
or vapors, will find in this chemical preparation
a complete antidote. During a tedious confine-
ment in a crowded house, or a warm atmosphere,
after a fatiguing walk, or along ride, a pinch or
two of this snuff will by its grateful and enliven-
ing qualities, richly repay‘ the purchaser the
trouble of constantly having it in his pocket, and
which, when well secured, will, for a long time,
answer all the purposes of a smelling bottle.-—
From its great antipiitrescent qualities, no com-
position is better qualified to resist contagion ; the
use of it therefore is indispensable forall those
who watch with, or visitthe sick. All sedentary

fund studious persons of either sex,’ will find by its

occasional use, a cheap and cheering relief from

that lassitude which invariably accompanies a

long sitting, or much reading. This snufl‘, the

fragrance of \\ liich is derived altogether from the
natural flavor of the principal articles of nhich it
is composed, is well stopt in a handsome square
bottle, made expressly for the purpose, and which
will be found to unite all the advantages of a snuff

Sz'r—-In answer to your letter containing an en-
umeration of the articles composing your snuff,
together with a sample ofit, I would remark, that
although I have found no reason for changing my
well known opinion of the pernicious effects of
the inordinate use of tobacco, in any form, I nev-
ertheless cannot perceive the same‘ objection to
yours. The articles are certainly innocent in
their qualities. Those liable to nervous and oth-
er head-aches well know that fits of these dis-

tressing aflections, most commonly subside on a

spontaneous sneezing towards night, and if this

reliefcan be expedited by a sternutatory, I should
give the preference to your snuff‘ over that of
powdered tobacco, or even the imported Ccjz/ialic

"Snufi‘, the ingredients of which are unknown to

us. VVith this view I have used your composi-
tion myself, and recommended it to others.
