A GI-.ANT.-—VVILLIAM Dowsr, who lately
_dicd in this town, was a man of uncommon size
and strength. The following instances will prove
Origzvz of Sunday Sc/zools~m_1d Bible Societies.
Mr. Ront«:RT RAXKES, a printer, of Gloucester!
in England, instituted the first Sunday School, in
the year W82. Being in the outskirts of that
city, he was greatly disturbed by a troop of
wretched noisy boys. Full ofcompassion, he be-
gan to think what could be done to remedy the
evil. And on the good woman with whom he
was conversing, saying,“ 0, sir, if you were here
on a 5.unday, yotr would pity them indeed, they
are much more numerous, and ,a..lrundred times
wores—-it is a very hell upon earth-—we cannot
rcarl our Bible in /mzcé for tlzrm ;” it occurred to
him that if these children could be put to school
on a Sunday, this disorder might be prevented,
and the children taught better. The thought was
immediately carried into effect by employing a
poor woman in the neighborhood to teach them,
and this spark kindled a flame which will never
be extinguished ; and has already proved a sig-
nal blessing to thousands and tens of thousands ;
and Bible societies sprung front the same seeil.
‘.*‘."lrc-n the Sunday School spread into"\Val'e , a
sufficient number of 'Welch Bibles could‘not be
got for the use_of children. A personal applica-
tion was made by a Mr. Charles to some friends
in London to aid him in a subscription to defray
the expense of printing an edition of VVelch Bi-
bles. In the course of conversation, atacom-
llll[f,r' erecting of a religious tract society, the
Re 7. Hughes suggested that a little more
e>' s-~r‘r-.',=..- ‘.1 was required for supplying Vvalcs
v. -. riptures, might found an institution
his great degree of strength. V
a privateer last war, which got among the break-.
‘J\uU1)lc of our cities‘
-.‘-g,-.41 our c-......us at work, will be the saving Qfthe
'3:‘o'urrtry, and do more good than if they had add-
ed I-wo‘F[orz'c/as and I/zrce Louisianas. _
\Vc have fourteen banks in this district, e--
zrongh to impoverish any country. VVe have bor-
rowed of them to go to market; and the man
who borrows money to buy a coat for himself, or
a gown for his rvifeyis like the farmer who makes,
a pudding of his .st'e(Z grain.
Look at our city——what is it but a large board-
ing-honse? The stores and shops are nothing
more than so many pantt-ies_." There is no pro.
ductive intlustry. Look at Rock-Creek, Tiber-
they run, seemingly chiding and upbraiding us
for not helping them to do good. There is not
even a tan-yard‘ in the w.lrolc city. Brother Jon-
‘atlran and John Bull make boots and shoes for us.
And though we have thousands of acres in the
city uncultivated, brother ‘Jonathan, and even
honest St. Patrick send us potatoes! 1! which
they are so kind as at this moment to sell
us at one dollar the bushel, while we have also 18
cents to pay for ‘.1 head of cabbage.‘ 7’

‘ ‘IO Mrs:-snv 1’ exclaimed my aged grand-
mother, as she upset the big iron pot in the hitch-
en, and had well nigh scalded to death poor Tray
.:and pussey. ‘ O Misery 1’ continued she, ‘how
unfortunate I am---always at rrrischief!--it ap-
pears as if fate was against me 1’
These words of the good old lady often occur
as I view the ‘ passing -tidings of the times.’-—
When I see a young man whose pride knows no
bounds, dash in a gig through the streets at the.
expence of his own reputation, and the purse of
his neighbor, I am instinctively led to exclaim
with my grandmother——‘ 0 [Misery .” '
The other day as I‘ was carelessly rambling
through the fields ofa farmer, I espicd, seated in
a fence corner. a youth, whose blooming cheeks
scarce spoke him twenty-one. He was the vic-
tim of disappointed love l- Simpathy for his situ-
ation prompted a tear, and I was called upon as
ite saying of the old lady-—‘ 0 Misezy .”
It was night, the sun-"had scarce sunk beneath
the horizon, as I viewed a number of young men
repairing to a neighboring ale-house, for the pur-
pose, as they said, of‘ passing away a few hours
in social chat, glee and hilarity ! next morning,
at. Iwas travelling the fieldin search of rosy
hcalth,‘my ears were saluted with the report ol;.a

Redeeming your time from such dangerous
waste, seek to fill it with employmentswlrich you
may review with'satisfaction. The acqtrisition
of knowledge is one ofthe most hoirorable occu-
pations of youth. The desire of it (liscovers a
liberal mind, and is connected with many acco’iir-
plishments and many virtues. But thouglr your
tr-am of life should. not lead you to study, the
course of education always furnishes proper em-
ments to a well disposed mind. VVhatet-er you
pursue, be emulous to excel. Generous ambi-
Uofia and sensibility to praise, are especially. as’
YOU" age. among the marks of virtue. Thinliz
not, that any aflvluencc of fortune, or any elevation
Of Tanks fixempts you from the duties of applica-
tron and industry. Industry is the law of our be"-'
ing; it is the demand of nature, of reason, and
of God, remember always, that the years which
now pass over our heads, leave permanent mc-
mprials behind them. From your thoughtless
minds they~.may escape ; btrt they remain in the
remembrance of God. They form an important
part of the‘ register of yourlife. They will here-
after bear testimony, either for or against you, at
that day, when for all your actions but particular-
lY for the employments of youth, you must give
