MOTHER, WIIAI‘ is DEATH?
“ Mother, how still the baby lies,-
I cannot hear his breath ;
I cannot see hislaughing eyes—-
They tell me this is death.
My little work I thought to bring
And sit down by his bed.
And pleasantly I tried to sing-
They hushed me—-he is dead.
They say that he again will rise,
More beautiful than now, - .
That God will bless him in the ski‘cs--
Oh, mother, tell me how ?”
“ Daughter. do you remember, deal‘.
The cold, dark thing you brought.
And layed upon the casement here,-—
A witlier’d worm, you thought’!
I told you that Almighty power
_ Could break that withered shell,
And show you in a future hour,
Something would please you Well-
Look at the Chrysalis, my l0VG."'

Oh, mother, now I know full well-—
If God that worm can change.
And draw it from this broken cell,

How beautiful will brother be.

\Ve copy the following from a paper prin-
ted at S_or.ngfield, Illinois, called the “PION-
cer." The argument, which is founded upon
evident and substantial types, is so simple and
easy of comprehension, iliat it must carry
conviction to all who will not shtit their eyes
against every plain fact and son rid reason.-
Plain common sense in rustic garb is always
better than supposed wisdom with all its pride
and accompanying vanity.
Mr. Pioneer—-—Although I have not made a
report lately, through you,I have not been
idle. In 0: e of my rounds not long since, Illt.‘
following dialogue occurred, and I hasten
to send it through you to head quarters. It
may be proper to tell yoti that one of the per-
sons engaged in the following conversation,
appeared to be an awkward longsided youth,

H, No. But! never seed every thing.
R. Did you ever see any body tliat li:id

II. No. Yet John Davis says the biiil -siys
there's a devil. You know I suppose what
he meant by the bible.
R. .lohn~D.iv s isa fool, and the bible ii

H. H-alloo. stranger, you'd better not call
John Davis a fuol——l tell you he aint no fool,
and he'd licx you it: a minute— that is ifhe’J

R. I didn’t mean to abuse him, you must
not mind such cxprcssioiis, I only want to
convince you of ttie folly of rcli-g'on.
II, W'ell then, you may go on. I begin to
feclcurious to know how you fouiil out the
biblc was a pack ’o lies.
R. lfyou read the Frce,Eoq'iircryou‘d see.
H. Docs that say so? II-IW does that know?
R. Why Mr. Owen and Miss Vi/right am
Mr. Jennings carry on the paper, and they
go on to prove that there is no God, and so
the bible can’t be true, because it pretends
to be the word of God.
H. No Gad! No hell ! No devil ! Hiirm!
2.‘Iay be I won't have a frol‘c. Why then it
body can get drunk swear and light, and iflic
should kill a follow, it would be tio great mat-
ter. But stop. How do they know? I don’t
like to bo cheated.
R. \'Vliy they say its just a superstitious
notion the people have. Nobody ever saw
God ; and the people can’t be expected to lie-
licvc contrary to the evidence of their senses.
II. No, to be sure. But then John Davis
says, the bible makes out that God made the
world. If there aint no God, who did make
the world ?
R. Make the world, indeed. How do you
suppose he'd go about to make the world P
H. I don’t know notliisig about it. I ask-
ed you to tell me how the world come if God
tl1'lii’t make it.
R. Come ? it didn’t come, it always was.
ll. How do you know that ?
R. VVhy, Reason teaches us so. If there
ivcrn’t something always, how could any thing
ever happen to be !

you needn’t think to throw your fliiigs out

to nickname a body the free enquircr for it-
VVe are used to making free in our country.
B. You are mistaken in my nieariing.-—
It was this paper I called the free Enquirer,
not ‘on.
H. Hay? that thing ?—wliat dy’e call it a
paper and free enquirer too ? Now if that an’l
funny I dont know. .
R. It is a paper. A newspaper called the
Free Enquirer.
H. More yet ! paper, newspaper, and Free
Enquirer. Have you any more names for it ?
R. 0 yes ! several more. But I st.-eyou do
not understand me,and I must explain.-—-This
thin wbite sheet is called paper——feel it-
Tbcse black marks are letters printed on it,
and we read the words that they make when
they are together.
H. Read ! O ! I mind now ; mommy used
to tell us, that in the settlements, people weiii
to school and learned to read ; and she said
how daddy and her couldn't read, that was
the reason they didn't take any books with
‘em when they moved out on to the range -
,But I never heard about newspapers, and
Free Enquirers.
';' B. This is a book, (showing one.) See it
is made of paper like this ; and then it is fol-
ded up and bound between pasteboards, and
covered with leather, so as to keep it safe.
H. Well now stranger. since I find you
didn't mean to make fun of» a body, I hope
you won't, take any pride in what I said ; and
call’ it. What’s it for ?
R. It's a newspaper published in N. York
‘to expose the superstitious notions that pre-
vail ,v.bout religion.
' ‘H. How does it do that?
R. Why it comes right out and says that
all religion is nonsense, and religious people
are all fuels or hypocrites. ‘
II. I don’t understand that someliow.-—
Tliere was John Davis that used to be a roar-

the civiles., best behaved, soberest honcgtesi
fellow all about. And he's no fool neither, I
can tell you. I reckon if you were to hear

R. Pshti ! We all delusioii—all a pack of
nonsense, [tell you.
did you say that on: Free Enquirer come

R. From New-York.
II. Vl/ho did you say made it?
R. Ididu’t say who made it; Mr. O.vcn
arid Miss V/Vriglit, and Mr. Jennings writu
pi.-ces in it. ’
H. Lt-L's look——is that write hand P
R. No, this is printed.
H. How ! is it printed and wrote too, and
not wrote ueitlicr ? you’rc a droll fellow.
R. I must explain to you. The lady and
gentleman I spoke of, write the pieces, and
then got the printers to print them.
H. \iVh:il is printing? How is it done?
R. They have the letters ctit on little pie-
ces ofleail (made hard somehow,) these they
call type; and they pic‘; them up, letter by
letter, and put them in order so as to make.
vvords,_arid these are arranged into senten-
ces ; and so on till they get all these letters
set tip to make one side, then they put them
up in particular order on a flit stone that is
fixed in the printing press. 'I‘bcn they black
the types and lay the paper on and press down
a flat board on them, and so they make it
look like this side. Then they put up the
some type in a different order to make differ-
ent Words, and go through the some work to
print the other side.
II. VVli.it do you call a letter? let me see.
R. These are large letters at the top.-
Tbat. is the title. Those small things are let-
ters. .
B. What 2 is that little tiny thing a letter?
R. Yes. ‘
I-I. And do they pick’em up one by one
and fix‘cm so as to make the whole paper ?
R. Yes.
H. Now, Mister, I want to ask you a few
questions Did you ever see New-York ?
R. No, I am a western inaii.
I-I. Did you ever see that woman and them
men you talk about ?
R. Who 3 Miss Wright and Mr. Owen ani-
Mr. Jennings? No.
H. Did you see the folks make that paper
and print it?
R. No, I tell you.
H. How do you know they did it then ?
R. (‘an‘t I re-ail ?-it says so.
H. May be it lies. How do you know it

R. How do I know it don't lie? I know it

l-I. Ifyoil aint. you can tell me what Ins}.

R. Vi/by the fcllovr's crazy. How do I

heard so miicli about them, and see their wri.

also a letter of cr.:d.: to a large a nouiit. The

C0'll’nt)fl latiou, instead of either tlirotving it
a<;i:It3 as waste paper, or shutting it tip in a

ered one only of the four sides of the sheet,
tote it in two, laced the written half in a
leaf of his partfdlo, anvl tlicn, folding the oth-
er half, so that. it would serve for writing a
note, put it into another portfolio which al-
ready contained a riiiinber ofsimilar papers-
Having coiripleted his little measure of econ-
o.~ny. he turned towards the young man, and
invited him to dinner for that very day. The

long ofiices which led to it, encumbered with
legcrs that were halfsmotltilered in dust and
smoke, and where ten or a ozcn young per-
sons were working in silence, whose face ap-
peat-ad to his jaundiced eyes like perfect skel-
etons. He thought of the windows plastered
with a thick coat of mud, through which no

‘ug at once upon his mind, produced the re-
flection, ‘ I have done a foolish thing in ac-
ccpting this invitation ; but no matter, a day
is soon assed.’
The duties of the toilette were discharged
rather for his own satisfaction than in compli-
ment to the host who expected him ; and that
done, he proceetled to the street of Rome,
where his banker's house was situated. As
the latter hail told him his wife did not live
in that part of tie mansion occupied by the
counting house he begged on arriving to be
conducted to the lady. A number of valcts
in rich livcries led him across a small garden,
filled with rare and exotic plants, and after
coiiducting him tlirough several tzpartmciits
suinpluously furnished, iutro lucetl him to a
handsome drawing-room, where he found" his
banker, who piescnicd him to his wife and
mother : the former was young and retty,
ilie latter not; yet old, and both were (I)resS-sd

sparkling tliaiiioritls, ‘which attestetrthc rvoztlth

best, if not the very best in the city. Diiiuc-r
vtas served, and the young stranger became
convinced it was so. The viauds were ex-

ed with an abundance of inassy silver plate ;
in short, the young traveller was obliged men-

more delicate fire. or seen agreater display
ofmagnificence; and be was morcthzin ever

persons near him, that the banker gave a. sim-

While coffee was serving, he rumiiiated on
all he lia-.l witnessed ; but his young idea-,
had to arrange themselves into that mutu..l
dependence of cause and effect which would
easily have brought the whole to the level of
his understiimling ‘Young man,’ said his
host, tapping him on the shoulder, ‘you are
absent. and almost pensive ; have you made
a had dinner .?’ But the expression of his
voice in pr mouncing these words seemed to
mean ; ‘has not your fear of a bad dinner yet
vanished ?’ The young man blushed, as if
he had really lit.-ar.l the latter sentence; but
the good financier understood his blush, and
laughing, said, ‘No offence ! you are too

Tun Rules to bc Observed in Practical Life.
--The fiillowing rules were given by the late
Mr. Jefferson, in a letter of advice to his
namesake,’I‘lioinas Jefferson Srnitii,in 1825;-

can do to-lay.
2. Never trouble others for what yoti- can
do yourself.
3. Never spenl your money before you
have it.
4. Never btiy what you do not _ want be-
cause it is cheap.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst,
and col.l_ .
6. W70 never repent of having eaten too
little.
'7. Nothing is troublesome that we do wil-
lingly. »
8. How much pains have those evils cost
tis which never liapp-cued.
9. Take things always by their smooth
handle.

which is a luv: affair, of a highly tvroiiglit
character. He had fixed his affectioiis
some years since on ii highly respectable
white lady, to whose friends he made re.
pooled, and what he no doubt thought to
be, honorable proposals, such as droves of
valuable Indiziii ponies and other plunder,
which of course were not accepted as terms
of neg-iciaiioii,—inucli to tho mortilica-

his sons was the young Indian that fell in

3? NOAH WEBSTER, 1.12.. D. ,
HERE is perhaps no subject of educa-
tion iu which the people of this republic,
are more lainentably deficient, than in the
History of their own country ; and it is with
a view to the improvement of the youth ofthis ‘
country, not only in reading the English lan-
guage with propriety, but also to improve
the history ofonr own country, that the au-
thor of the above work, has prepared this lit.‘
tle volurne. .
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We consider Dr. W obsier as eminently
qualified t_o prepare a work of this kind. His
extensive acquaintance with the early histo-
ry of nations, and especially our own-—the
result offifty years ofinvestigation, is lliebest
pledge for the accuracy of his statements;
while the personal knowledge of the events of
our revolution and the establishment ofour
governinent, gives a free/tness and interest to
his narrative, which are rare] ifever to be
found in the pages ofa more compiler. \iVa
therefore cordially recommend this work, as '
liidapted to general use in families and schools.

a work of great merit and admirably adapted
to the purposes, alike of otii -publ c and pri-
vnte stzliools. It will not injure the reputa-
Lion ofits illustrious author. I Sll.'lll iri.inerli-
aaely recommend it to the Visiting Committee

I am ofopinion that Dr. VVebster’s History

past works on this subject, and that it merits
gciieral use in the Academies and schools of
this country-—I believe it to be better calcu-
Statcs to give a correct and concise knowl-
edge of what it professes to teach.

None sold except for cash, or approved
it is an excellent one--and am highly pleased
with its condensed form, and the clearricss
with which the matter is arranged. In many
respects, this must be acknowledged superior
to any history of the kind which has preceded
it, and will take a high raiilt, and become a.
standard work among our books of education.
It is just such a work as has long been wan-
ted in our schools, and a knowledge ofits con-
tents should be among the intellectual treas-
ures of our dliildren and youth—-I shall intro.
duce it into my school immediately, to the ex
clusion of-all others, and use my influence to
have it introduced into other schools in this
vicintiy. I am, with much eseem.

I have examined with much pleasure, Dr.
\Vebster’s Hstory of the United States, and
have been highly gratified with its plan and
execution. As an elementary work for our\
primary sclioul “, it surpasses any I have 58.3" ;
and whether read as a class book, or partial-
