EXTRACT. . , The value which we attach to wealth, "arid the pleasures we-promise o‘-.;i‘sel~ves in the posses- sion of riches, is. deceptive and vain. The hum- ble cottager who rises in the morning to his la- bors, and obtaiiis by that labor his daily bread, pai'takes of inoregenuine felicity, than the indi- vidual who rolls in splcndor‘_aii€. fareth sumptu- Qusly every day ;- his constitution, provided his conduct is niai'ked with the features of sobriety, is more robust ; his check is gladdcned with the blush of health; a smile of contentment is seen in his countenance ; his appetite is rendered keen by einploynic-iit, and having no cares to distrtrct his mind, he commits his head to his pillow in peace, and awakes reft'es_hed by his tranquil slum- bers. The expectant of no lbi'tunc, he is never disappointed in his views ; he labors for support alone ; he cultivates his field with industry, and looks to hea\'e'n for the former andlattcr rain to mature his crops. His wife and children are i'cn= tiered happy in the enjoyment he possesses g the voice of joy and healthgis in histdwelling; his communion with his Maker is not distracted by the cares of life; religion holds up to his enrap-. tured view her choicest cc:-nsolaticns; he looks forward without a fear to that moment when his labors will. cease, and the triumphs of heaven be his portion forever. Compare the situ-.iti_on of such an individual, my beloved hearers, with the situation ofthe man involved in the hurry and bustle of the world.- Consider those thousand contingencies upon which his success in business must depend. Not all the efforts which the most prudent man can make, to secure his concerns from derangement, will always prove effectual. When his affairs at home wear a pleasing prospect, his disappoint- ments from abroad throw him into confusion, and defeat his plans. He sees a storm of adverse for- tune approaching, which cliillshim to the heart ; he perceives that no wisdom he possesses can sea cure him from the blow ; the wife of his bosom he is sensible will feel the shock; his beloved children, checked in their expectations, tremble tinder the influence of a fatliei~’s sorrows ; ' he goes to his pillow to look for-’rest, but that pillow, once the seat of quietude, refuses himthe aid he seeks; his mind is distracted with the heavy btir- den of his cares, and he rises in the morning with a countenance indicative of sorrow and woe. Such being the distress, in which the pursuit of wealth so frequently plungesus, distress which at the prcsent.momeiit,is felt by so many, whom I love and respect ; by so many to wlioni - I feel attached by a thousand tender considerations, let me entreat you, belovedpai-isliioners, to remem-.._ her, that in the derangements of your temporal prospects, your happiness is not so essentially in- terested, as upon a superficial view oftliings, you may imagine. Happiness, rely upon it, is not ‘d<_:pcndcntnpon wealth. Contentment of mind, rests ttpori no such uncertain foundation. Ifpeace aricl cdtnfort flowfrom no source but riches, your preacher must always have been miserable, for wealth he never had, and wealth, from his situa- . to me the truth of my remarks. tion in life, he never can obtain. Let me there- fore _eIllt'L‘al. you to be submissive to the reverse of fortune, with‘which many of you have to strug- gle ; the calamity, ifit-deserves the name, is uni- ~ versal ; Europe, as well as the land in which we live, groans beneath the burden. . T A mediocrity of fortune is within the‘ reach of every sober minded, industrious man. Plenty to satisfy our necessary wants will never be denied us ; having food and raiment, let us be content; ‘ man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long.’ The prospect of our cro_ps is abund-' ant; the Almighty with the finger bf mercy, points to his inexhaustible stores, and invites us to partake oftilie’l)otirities of providence.-~ Luxuries can be dispensed with, and we shall find an increase of happiness growing out of‘ such a dispensation. The ceremonious and unnecessary parade of life, does not contribute to real enjoy- ment; it is the bane of social intercourse; it strips society of its delights, and substitutes an empty void for solid comfort. Think me not a novice 1 my observation and experience proclaim ‘ Learn then of Christ, who was meek and lowly in heart,’ be tender and indulgent to each other ; let economy he the order of the day; let us rise in all the ma- jesty of union, and ll‘0WIl upon dissipation and extravagance; let us guard our expences, and direct our outgoings into such channels, as God and reason, in this time of commercial distress, * will approve. If those who have escaped the pressure of the times, will set the example, the effect will be such, as the purest moralist could ' wish; in a word, disappointed in your worldly arrangements, look to the Lord Jesus for comfort, and you will find rest to your-souls. —--c-;--:2:--15- » LONDON, April 2. .fc.-zjlzl and siizgular Dcatli—On Sunday last, ’-.‘dr.

The common ' Scotch snuff is not only destitute of fine. flavor,-~ . but 18 universally allowed to be injurious to the head and stomach, and sooner or later effects the transparency, and colour of the skin. The coarse black snulfs, instead of clearing and_stiriiul‘at-ing the olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and dfiade“ them 3 and in process oftiine, by‘ step- ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the. speech.

In cases of catari-h, or what is commonly called a cold in the head,~a pinch or two taken at nigh- on going to bed, will, bymoistening the. mucus, effectually remove all obstructions before nioi'n- iiig. All those troubled wit-h tlie,-Llxypocvhondria or vapors, will find in this chemical preparation a complete antidote.
