And the great fountains oftlio sky pour’d out,
A ceaseless flood, till all beside were drown‘d,...

Aud so the mighty waters bare t-hem up.
And o'er the bosom of the deep they sail’d
11‘ or many days—But then a gentle Dove
’Scap‘d from the ‘casement of the Ark, and spread
Her lonely pinion o'er that boundless wave.
All, all was desolat_ion,—-chirping nest, .
Nor face of man. not living thing she saw,
For all the people of the earth were drowu’d.
Because of disobodiouce.-

Save wide, dark waters, and a frowning sky,--
Nor found her weary foot is place ofrt:st.-¢
So with a leafofolive in her mouth.

Upon some wrecking billow floated Ivy,

From Village Tales, by Tracy G. Potts‘, Esq.
GIDEON GRINDER.
Gideon Grinder sat out in tlrewworld to
make a fortune. “ Wisdorrr is the! prirrcipzil
thing," saith the proverb, ‘_‘ therefore gfil
wisdom.” But he, like lllofixfltfll. being sat-
isfied with his acquisitions on his score. chair-
ged the phraseology of the maxiin zr. little-—
Money is the principal thing, tlrcrcfore get
money--was"his motto : and he went to work
in that 'k‘ind‘llf earnest which a sirrgleuess ol
object produces. He has some ofthe essen-
tial qriallifrcalioirs too, which are necessary
for success. _ -He war, industrious and ecorro-
mical. No ‘doubt the reader anticipates the
issue 2 sees him emerge from obscurity, and
rise rapidly to afiluerice; dz thinks it r.-n:ieces-
sary to travel througlr the story. So common
is the opinion-—so often does it indeed happen
--that such a beginning ends favorably. But
let us proceed.
Industry is a good thing ; a very good
thing‘; an essential requisite; but their it is
not the only essential requisite necessary to
enable a man to get along in the world. Ob
servation proves that some very steady. hard-
working mcn are always behind hand in life,
and that others, who are apparently for more
indolent in their habits, make money and
thrive. Economy, too, is a very common
road to wealth ; but we see some trying to
save all their lives long, and actually saving
nothing; while others, who are com; arative
ly prodigal, do well in the end. The secret
is all hcre——it requires a head as well as hands
to get along-; wisdom to plan, as well as en-
ergy to execute ;
A will tolabour, and a head to plan-—
These constitute the rrion--y-rnriking man.
Gideon had been educated at shop-keeper
in his father's store : and when the old man
died, he stopped at once into his business.-—
Old Mr. Grinder was not one of your “ allor
nothing" sort of men, who make or break at
a dash. He went on slow and srire ; swept
clean as he went ; paid his debts ; and did
an honest business on 0. small scale. Nobo-
dy was further from being mean, and yet he
was a frugal liver; not afraid of spending a
penny, and yet looking well to the out-goes
too. In short, he was not one of those who
turn all their attention to saving the drops
from the spiggot, while, at the satire time,
quarts are escaping from the bung. He
might on the strength ofhis credit, have dash-
ed out largely in business, and done as many
people now do ; but he preferred the certain-
ty ofa small business, to the charges of :1
large one. He might have told large stories;
and professed to accommodate customers at a
sacrifice ; to sell for less than cost: and set a
hundred traps, common in his day, to catch
custom. But he had grown up hand in hand
with honesty ; and used to say he would n'ot
uarrel with so good a friend in his old age.
Gideon therefore had a worthy example, but
the father's mantle does not a ways fall on the
son.
The young man, indeed, came out into the
world with many of his father's good habits
and opinions. He disliked credit; guarded
against waste ; and had no disposition to show
oil‘. But, in avoiding these dangers, he fell
into the opposite extreme, a narrow, contrac-
ted, selfrali way of doing business, which fol-
lowed him, and frittered him down, till he had
no more heart than a herring.
The first rule he established was to do what
hecalleda sting business; that was to keep
no article on hand which were not ready sale;
he had no idea that there was any advantage
in having a great variety : it only lumbcred
the store; was dead capital ; and attended
with more or less waste. Standing by itself.
this w-;.s,-.. ood argutnent, but, as many peo-
ple prcfer_cs)ll_'irrg where every thing, ordina.
ry, may be lied, "Whether they want an im-
common article ornot, the ruleoperatedbadly.
.Again,- it seemed to ‘himvperfectly plain,
that’ nothirig~-vvrrv made on many articles.

ded irr good sense, provcdin practice worth-
less, and even worse.
He held to exact dealing; and took great
care never to Weigh or mei-sure a grain to
much. He was it very nice eiilculator in these
things; but was honest—vcry honest to him-
Self; and his customers could never charge
him with dishonesty to them. In the matter
_ of charge too. he was it scrupulous mart; look
thirteen cents to the-eleven pence. and seven
to the fivepcnco, conceiving the halfpence and
fartlrings to be his just due , and in such
niattcrs saved a little as he went ; pi-iding

FORCE OF GUNPOVVDER.
The removal of the ruins ofSt.;I’aul’s forms
an instructive chapter in 8.I‘ClllI8Cl.l)I'€.“. The
walls, eighty four feet perpendicular, and five
feet thick, and the tower, at least two hundred
feet high, though cracked, and swayed, and
tottering, stuck obstinately together, and
their removal, stone by stone, was found te-
dious und dangerous. At first, men with
picks and levers loosened the stones above,
then "carried them over, and laborers moved
them away below, and piled them into heaps.
The warrt of room (for between the walls ol
the clrurcliaud those of the houses there lay a
street only some tliirtlr yards wide.) made this
way slow and unsafe: several men lost their
lives, and the piles ‘of stone grew steep and
large. "‘Tl‘.ris, however, VVreu prcceedeed,"
says his son, “gaining every day more room,
till he came to the middle tower, that bore the
steeple; the remains of the tower being near
two hundred feet high,tlie laborers were afraid
to work above, thereupon he concluded to fit-
cilitate this work by the use 0l'gunp0\_vtler.--
llc dug a hole down by the not-tlirvest pillar
oftlic tower, the four pillars of which were
each about fourteen feet in diameter; when
he had dug to the foundation, he then, with
crows and tools made on purpose, wrought ti.
hole two feet square hard into the centre of
the pillar; tlierehc pluceda little tin box con-
rarning eighteen pounds of powder, and no
more; a‘ cnriofivas fixed to the box with it
quick match, as the gunners call it, within the
case, wliiclirczrclicd from the box to the ground
above and along the ground was laid the ti ain
of powder with a match; after the mine was
carefully closed up again with stone and mor-
tar to the top of the ground, he then observed
the effect of the blow.
This litle quantity of powder not only lifted
up the whole angle of the tower, with two
great arches which rested upon it, but also 2
adjoining arrlics of the aisles and all above
them ; and this it seemed to do sorriewhat leis-
urely, cracking the walls to the top, lifting vis-
ibly the whole weight above nine irrches,which
suddenly jumping down made a great heap of
min: in the place without scatterieg : it was
half a minute before the heap opened in two
or three places and emitted smoke. By this
description may be observed the incredible
force of powder, 1 8 lbri. of which lifted up 3,000
tons, and saved, theworlc ofn thousand labor-
ers. ‘Tire fall of so -great weight from an
height of 200 feet. gave at concussion to the
ground that the inhabitants around took for an

I have used Mr. N. Pu-.ntiu'is Sapenaceous .
Compound for shaving. and have oulyto say, that
it is the best Shaving Soap, if! many so call it, I
have ever met with. H. L. Wrt.t.rArits.
New York, July ‘.24, 1830.
For about the last two ycars.I have been in the
daily use of Mr. N. Prentisis Compound, called
by him Sapomiceous. My face was forrncrly very
tender, andwhile shaving and SOIIICIIITIF. after-
wards I had pain; but since using this Compound
(which I have used summer and winter with cold-'
water) I hut e no pain while shaving; and my face
is not sore aflerwurd,but SDl0OIII.8I|(I in winter,
is not, us fnrrncrl_v,Iiablc to chap. For my use, I
think it by for the best article fortlrepurpose cv-
er used, and should be very sorry over to be with-
out it. VVM. G. Jorrrzs.
My Dear Sir-I have used yourjustly celebra-
ted Siiponaccous Compound, and am indebted to
you for marry a comfortirble shave: it is altogether‘
the best and finest article of the kind I have ever
used. I have tried the best soup I could find,l;ut
none gives me such solid comfort as yours. As
an article deserving a nrore general use, particu-
larly for gentlemen who shave seven times a week,
I do most cheerfully reconrnieird it.
Iicspcctfiilly your obedient liumlilc srarvant,

I have used Mr. N. Prentiss's Saponaceous
Compound with much satiafrrction. It rrrulifies the
Ikin, prevents tiubsequcirtirritntion, and is also rt
useful detergent in healing some cutaneous erup-
tions. JOHN Srrtsnres.
Having. used the Saponaceous Compound for
the last lBrrronths,I have the satisfaction of saying
that I entirely concur In the above cenifrcalu.
Writ. II. BELL. 35 Clrarlton st. N.Y. Aug. 2,1830-
Ncw York. Aug. 3, 1830.
Dear Sir——It is with pleasure I have read the
foregoing gentleman's opinions on the good ef
fects arising from the use ofyour invaluable Sap
onuceous Compound for shaving, arid with whom.
I entirely concur, having used it two years, during
which time I have not had my razors honed or
ground; ii circumstance which has never before
occurred, although using the some razors for 20
years. With much respectl am, dear sir,
Your most obedient,
Ronicnr Dorutnsort.
New York Aug. :1, I830.‘
The excellent Compound for shaving, called by
Mr N. Prentiss " Saponuccous.” I have used al-
most duily, for about '2 ycars,with cold water rind,
Ifintl it superior to any I ever made use of both
for the ease of shaving over it very tender skin,
and the pleasant sensation experienced after the
operation is performed. I"i:.\:rcis Harm.
I agree with Mr Hall, C. BOLTON.
From my experience in the excellent article
called the “ Suponaccous Compouml," manufac-
tured byMrN. Prcntisss, Imn convinced it needs
not, (with such as have ever used it,) the recom-
mendation of D. FA.~'sii.i\v.
Aug. 5, 1830.
Dear Sir, Having used your Ssponaceous Coni-
pound these last 8 months for shaving, I there-
fore do rtrconimentl it with confidence as the best
article I ever used for that purpose. Yours, doc.
N. Prentiss. .I.b'KE D.ivii:s.
August 5, 1830.
I have used the “ Saponaceous Compound” of
M r. I'rentiss,and find it more pleasant to the face,
than any of the shaving soups I have ever em-
ployed, either foreign or domestic. I have no oc-
casion for warm water, 8:. the operation ofslirrving
has lost with me hall its inwnvenience, since I
availed myself oftliis useful invention. Asa mild
emollient, and soothing application to the skin, I
highly esteem it.aiid recommend it to my patients
as it medicament in cutaneous diseases.
Respectfully yours, D. M. Buss.
N. B. The subscriber having sold the above
Compound to some of his customers, after using
"t six months they pronounce it the best article
they have ever used. M. M. LAWRENCE.
