Peter had scarcely troubled hiniselfto cut
away the bushes that grew by his door: He

kept the poor iuan pretty constantly on the
scout, for when venison was not out, Madam
K'eltzer’s‘teinper always was; and the failure
of the one or the other was an equal misfor-
tune for Peter.
Dame Keltzer was a thin sharp visaged la-
dy, about five feet two ; with a sharp piercing
eye, and but three teeth, the others, as Peter
aflirnzcd, having been utterly, worn out of her
month by the -constant concussions of her

iséinst-ll and Madame Keltzer, to which he
was subjected, he was uniformly obliged to
beat the retreat;he tiirnetl his back with an
air of lordly defiance, and his visage showed
evident signs oi threatening retaliation.
Between parties so often bclligerent,:it was
hardly l0 lie expected that every" contest
should end in smoke. Peter complained to
all his neighbors of his wife’s treason-able war
upon his liberty, and accused her with a de.
sign ofreduciiig him to downrignt slavery ;—-
wliilr: she was not less prompt in charging him
with an idle rambling disposition, an entire
neglect of all home affairs, and even with be.
ing guilty with auiours with some of her goon
ri,eig.‘_-bots’ wives--wlioni he had occasionally
.*‘urii_t.slt-all with a saddle of venison or a string
of squirrels. As the damo’s suspicious were
founded on this, the last charge it as probably
uiitrue, but the others were doubtless sub.
stantial, and incontrovertible on either side.

Wtirsc‘, and from oft repeated threats on both
sides, plans of execution were resolved in the
minds of both Peter and his wife. The dame,
in one particular, acquitted herselfwitli lion-

ed. Finally by gathering a considerable pilt-.

shoulders and she succeeded from thence in

What all the arguments in the world never
could have effected, this single incident‘ did
effect, a thorough reform ; and whenever af-
terwards, Peter was about doing amiss, or
dame Kt=ltzer’s voice exceeded a common
key, the recollection of the nine foot cellar,
and the three days and nights passed therein,
set all matters right.
Pete: told me this story himself-and since,
whenever I see a man and wife pulling differ-
ent. ways, or complaining to strangers, or quar-
relling at home, or forever straying abroad, I
think what a pity it is they cannot h ve the
use of Dame Keltzer’s collar for a sh _ t time.‘
When I see an indecent husband or a spend-
tlirift wife, who having nothing but industry
and economy to depend tipoii,iit~.glecting busi-
ness or running in debt, I calculate that, to a
certainty, they will wind up their affairs in
dame Keltz'er’s cellar, or one oftheir own dig-
ging very much like it. At the end of every
evil anti iniprovident course there is a corre-
sponding punishment: they are comparatively
happy, who, like Peter and Polly Keltzer are
made wise by misfortune while yet there is
time to profit by repciitance.——Trcnton Emp-
_ PRAISE AND CENSURE.
The world,some people say, is censo_rious——
and it is, to a certain extent, true. But the
world sometimes compliments very highly-—
and I have a strong inclination to say, that its
praises do more mischief than its censor-ss——I
will say it. ‘
Censure when applied where it is merited,
often has a salutary effect. When bestowed
where it is not d6:6I'Vef'I, it produces no injury
on a well regulated mind. The strong and!
prevailing disposition among people to think
more highly ofthemselves IIILIII they ought to
thiitk, needs some general corrective---and
censuie, though an unpleasant, is often, in
these cases, a very wholesome medicine.
Praise on the other hand, touches a more
dangerous key-—it nursesinstead of suppres-
sing the dangerous propensity to pride.
‘Hc’s ageztius,’ people said of my young,
friend Alcaiizor——and it got to Alcati::oi"s’
ears, as such things will in nine cases. out of
ten. The youth was proinising fair for man
hood—with industirv and prudence to follow
up the advantages he enjoyed, he would limit-
becoincari.ornairicnt to society. But the ids:-:
He put on a thousand icdiculous sits and fall
into as many ridiculous IJYEXCIIGCS--'l'.‘...'3.','ll‘n_’
puffed up with vanity and selfconceit, atttl let
slip his golden opportunities in grasping after
the foolish phantoms that flirted be.-‘hrs his I;-c
wildm-ed brain. He turned out a _ooor.crec.tcrc
—-Praise did the mischief‘.
‘ What a beauty’/'ulg'5i‘t .” the young gentle
men used to say when they passed Jane Sey-
mnur’s window and got a gianco at her line
face and pretty figure It was no woritler they
called her beautiful, for she was so. But per.
suade a young lady she is beau‘.iful—veiy
be-autiful——and she must be :1 girl of extract-
dinary good sense ifslie don’t let the thing run
in her head to the exclusion of more profita-
bit.‘ thoughts. Jane once cultivated her mind
—-was industrious and ingenious with ' her
needle—bid fair to become an eizccllent
nonsckeeper——and she would have become a
rare prize ifleft to the guidance ofher natural
jtidgement. But she soon began to conclude
that she was beautiful—-that beauty compen
sated for every tbiiig-«and she neglected cv-
cry thing else. Those of ie be’-.u:: who w re
worth having thought di llil.--—tlic.~ others
she would not accept, andtmisT.eLisund3rstaiid-
ing lost her a husband.
Praise has made more fools and coxcotnbs
than censure ever made misanthropes. They
are both good tliiugs in their exact places4—but
it requires a great deal ofjudgement to place
them there. When misapplietl,the first_t’low.~.
generally from better feelings limit the last-
and it is ti pity friends should do one another
an injury. These anxioms are itidispotably
correct—-$1. ought to be always borne in mind.

BLOODY FESTIVAL.
The following account of the superstitious
and drcadftil enormities, practised... on the
public show of idols atttlie festival of Rliiit
Shattra, is given in a ietter to the Rev. Mr.
Sharp, of Boston, by the Rev. Mr. Sutton, an
English Baptist Missionary living at Cuttack.
“July 7th, the three idols were brought out
ofthc temple, in Orisa, and placed on three
cars; one for Juggernauth, one for his broth-
er, and one for his sister. These cars are a-
bout 60 ibetiliign, and 30 wide at the ’.base.—
'I‘licy rise i.-i :1 conical form, and are decora-
ted with scarlet, yellow, blue, and other grey
colorcll woollen cloths. They have from 13
to 16 uncouth wheels, and are so contrived as
to crush to mummy the wretches who throw
themselves under them. Juggernattth has a
large black lace, withenormous eyes, and a
large red mouth extended from ear to ear.-
The number of attendants is much less this
yeartlian the last 250,000 then assciiibled,
220,000 of whom it is supposed perished. The
festival continues from 7 to 14 days. Dead
bodies are scattered all around. In one place
may be seen twenty, in another fifteen, in the
streets, some halfdevoured by the dogs and
birds. The air is polluted with stench. The
sick and dying surround you on all sides; 8:.
of the dead. Parts of bodies are seen crush
ed by the massive wlieeis. Last year, in a
space of less than two acres, Mr. Sutton saw
90 dead bodies, and in aiiotlier 145, putrify-
“-1% in open day ; principally pilgrims, who
d‘ “‘-ipitied and utiknown. Many travel frotn

East India Company offered him a salary of
$10,009, if he would ‘relinquish his business.
and aid them in writing and uIaking_contracts
with the natives. To this offer he unhesita-
tingly gave ii negative answer. They then
offered him $50 per week, if he would afford
occasional assistance two hours in a day,when
it would interfere least with his stated em-
ployment. ’ This offer he also rejected. Ht:
considered his time consecrated to the hea-
then, and no sum of money could induce him
to relinquish the work,even for a week. This
proves that he was- highly esteemed by the
company’s agents; and also that he was siti-
‘cerely devoted to his work.

W., now a Missionary at the Sandwich Isl-

took passage from New York to New Haven
in a packet. In the evening, a company of
fellow passengers, who were qui:s profane, ga-
tbered round a table, on which was the only
light buriziiig in the cabin, and soon became
deeply engaged in gambling. Mr. W., after
reflecting some time on the best means of re
proving them, drew a Bible from his trunk,’
and politely requested that he might have a
seat at the same table for the purpose of rear’-
ing. The sight of the Bible at once stopped
their swearing; and after gambling in total
silence about tenminutes, they all left theta-
the silent reproofs ofa good mar‘), with the bi-
le in his hand, are too loud and too pointed
for the guilty conscience to endure.
