ourselves in lettitig it be itsnwn atlvertisor: and
we should still atlliere to this resolution first

there are persons so unpriticipletl. and so reckless

demonstration of joy and admiration; the

They were hailed as the dt-livers of the
frontiers.”

liistory. For forty years he has been identi-
fied with its interest, its perils, and its hopcs.
Universally beloved in the walks of peace,
and distinguished by his ability in the coun-
cils of his country, he has been yet more il-
lustriously clistiriguishcd in t/icfleld. Du-
ring the late war he was longer in active
service than any other General ofiiccr; he
was perhaps oftencr in action than any one
of them, and ~ne7:cr suslainecl a defeat.”

l’VARD’S VliGE'I'ABLI:.' HAIR OIL.
V "1 I-HS Oil possesses the peculiar property so
- long, but vainly sought for iti other veget-
able oils, Ill‘-.ll ofrc-producing a new growtli of
hair on heads totally bald. So great are its
notirisliing properties. which it readily imparts
to the roots of the hair. that it requires but a
short tithe to produce it new grmvtti,aud btit few
applications to check that falling of the hair,
which so often occurs, especially after sickness.
It prevents the hair turning grey, and when it
begins to turn. may be easily checked and re-
stored to its natural beauty by applying the oil.
This oil gives an agreeable fragrance, and is
and glossing the hair.
Ladies and gentlemen of the highest rank
have patronized this oil very extensively ; and
such has been its effects in every country where
it has been introduced, that it receives the
decided preference. _

The broketi ties of happier days.
How often do they scent
To cotiie before our mental gaze,
Like rt. reuiembcrtd dream!
Around us each disservered ('lJai':'l‘
In sparkling ruin lies;
And earthly hand can ne'er again
Unite those broken ties.
The parents ofour youthful home,
The kitidrded that we loved,
Farfrom otir arms pert.-fiance may roam,
To desert seas removed.
Or we have watched their parting breath.
And closed their weary eyes ;
And sighed to think how sadly death
Can sever human ties.
The friends, the loved ones ofour youth,
They too are gone. or changed,
Or worse than all, their love and truth
Is darkened or enstraitgetl.
They meet us in the glittering throng
With cold averted eyes,
And wonder that we weep their wrong,
And mourn our broken ties. I
Oh! whoin such a world as this,
Could bear their lot of pain,
Did not one radiant hope of bliss
Unclouded yet remain '.'
That hope the sovereign Lord has given;
Who reigns above the skies;
Hope that unites-out-r souls to Heaven,
By faith’s entluaring ties.
Each care.-each ill of mortal birth,
Is sent in pitying love.
To lift the lingering heart from earth,
And speed its flight above.
And every pang tla-at‘ wrings the breast,
, And every joy that dies,
_ Tells us to seek it purer rest.
lt And trust to holler ties‘.

MISCELLANY.
REVOLUTIONARY lNCiDENT.
History barely records the event of the
burning of Warren, a samll totvn in the State
of Rhode Island, during the time that tried
nien’s souls. There are, however, those
living who shared in the scenes of that disas-
trous occasiorr, from whose lips we have had
the pleastireto save from oblivion the follow-
ing p8l“llCl)l:‘ll'_S. .
At that melancholy period, when fire and
sword iii’ai‘l.'t:-d the conquests of the prottdnnd
b:ii‘haro-us foe, there resided in that then and
now, beautiful village, many who remain to
recount the disasters of its late; and the very
house at which occured sotne of the incidents
ofthe day to which we allude, is yet stand-
ing, and occupied by some of the same indi-
viduals who witnessed these scenes. The
enemy, on approaching the village, set fire
to and blew up, the magazine on its out-
skirts. They then rushed forward to the work
ofdestruction; setting fire to every house in
their way, ripping open the beds and com-
mitting their contents to the flames, to
hasten the devastating rtiin. On reaching
the house before mentioncd——-then, as now,
kept as a tavern—-tlicy made a temporary
halt in their match of vandalism, whilst de-
molishing its eatublc and drinkaiile contents.
As if inspired with additional fury and reck-
lessness, they then proceeded forward to
the completion of their savage purposes.---
The people of the village had fled on the
enemy’s nppt'oacli,savc two wotncn,ifpossib'.e
to save it front dt.-struction. I-luppily for it,
and perhaps for themsvlvcs, it was saved
through their intercession with the officers,
though for no other purpose, as the event
to proved, than as a place for their quarters,
which purpo=e it was afterwards appropriat-
ed. No cotntnon degree 0fmOftll courage ac
firuiness was exliibitud by these solitary fe-
males in thus remaining among the burning
dwellings and ruthless soldi:-ry for the pro-
tection of their property, but, fearlessly dc-
iuanding protection front the officers, their
persons were savedfroni injury or death, and
their (lwellitig from destruction. The Lord
of the manor kowing full well the treat-
ment he might expect from the enemy, being
a Colonel in the American army. and hav-
ing, as they well knew, done the Stzite some
service, made his escape, assisting at the
same time his neighbors with their families
to effect similar security against outrage and
death. On his dcparture he unfoitunatclv
left behind him a f'tlV'()l‘llB sword, which hzid
been distinguished in other wars. This he-
iitg discovered by the heroic female, just as
the British soldiers entered the house, one of
them sprung with it into an adjoining roorri,
and ripping open a feather bed, buried it ft-
mong the feathers. As fate would have it,
she was discovered in this act by one of the
Officers, then standing at the front window of
the house, who iinmediately rushed into the
room, and witlitlrawing the trusty and en-
deared weapon, broke it into three pieces a-
cross his lmec. The females then made no
further effort to save any article ofthe house,
but boldly insisted on their lives being pre-
served by cotnmaud of the officers.
The scene of confu-si=on among those who
were. flying for their lives and in their at-
tempts to save portions of their dotncstic arti-
cles and provisions, beggars description.-—
All rushed towards the river for the purpose
of reaching a distant point on the oposite
shore, where it was known the (‘I'l'€‘lll_V could
not cotne. No other triean-s than a scow boat
were at hand to transport them, with all
their effects across the deep and rapid cur-
rent. The boat was already full to over-
flowing with men, women‘, and children ;.
hcdsjclotlies .t-. such other necessaries as thty
were enabled to snatch from the approaching
conflagrution. All these confusedly’ crowd-‘
ed together in this little ark. and just iri the
act of leaving the shore, when a woniarr ap-
peared in sight with a child in her arms, run-
ning, and shrieking with fiat’-tilt) madness to-
wards the boat. Urged by the love of life
for herselfand offspring. she arrived at the
l‘l\0i' as the boat had left the shore, and rush-
ing into the stream until she sunk to‘ her
shoulders, she threw forward her child with
a desperate effort, which ' happily brought it
within the reach of sotne one on board of the
boat, but the affectionate and distracted moth-
er immediately suril: to a watery grave and
the infant lived to tell this stor_v.—N. Y. Sun.

THE BIBLE.
When VValter Scott was rapidly de'cl‘i‘nitig
to the grave, he said one day to a friend,
“ bring me a hook-.” "' Vihat book .7” in-
quired his friend". “‘ Why, how can you
ask what book ?'«’ said the dying man: “there
is but one book.” The word " Bible” is frotn
the Greek, and signifies Book. Hence we
call the Scriptures the Bible: t/ic book by
way of eminence. It it is the oldest ‘book iii
the world. The first part was written by
Moses about 3,300 years ago, 1,000 years
before the age of Herodotus, a Greek writer,
called the father ofliistory; the last partwas
completed by John about 1800 years ago.--
IL is the best book in the world. It gives to
man the only well grotitnded hope of immor-
tality, and the only sure hope of future hap-
piness.
It is the best code of morals. A deist who
was publickly using his rah-nts and influnce
to disprove the divine authority of the bible,
was discovered teaching his daughter from
the New Testament. Be, justified himself
from the charge of incorisi'stency by sayinc
that morality rriust be taught, and the Bi-
ble was the best-book ‘out morals.
Our translation of the bible was made in
the year 1607. The division of the biblv»
into chapters was -made’ in the year 1240;

CHAPTER I.
l. The words of the Spirit of Nations
which he spztkc by the mouth of Ecir the
Son of Shubzel concerning the Vunites
which dwell in the land of Rivers.
2. 1. Ecir being of tall stature, and of
cotncly countenance, and of good repute a-
mong my people, in that I refrained from
oaths, and from oppressing the poor among.
my people, was r.»is.~d to much dignity.
3. And a vcice was given me, in the
Councils of my Nation, and when I opened
my mouth the assembly listened. For I
had given my youth to mtich study to know
the Ways oftbe men wherein they walk, and
to judge ri-glitly among my people.
4. And my voice was more musical than
the voice of any among the sons of my peo-
ple. Morcovcr, my words were wise. And
I hadinuch honor, and my heart was rejoiced
in that the old men ll-Sl\'t'Ll insti'uction of me.-
5' Nt‘\‘€l‘lllt'lGSS, I lifted not up myself
liaughtily among my peoplc,not' grew proud.
nor oppressed the poor, but I humbled my-
self l.tcfot'e the Spiritof Nations, who had giv-
en me so great repute an the honor of my
fathers, and among the child rcn of my people.
6. And it came to pass that the word of
the Spirit of Nations came unto me saying
Ecir, son of Sliubécl lien-r ye the \\'O‘l'(l of
the Spirit of Nations coneerningtlie Vanitcs,
which dwell in the land of Rivers, and dc-
clare it unto the people.
7. For be-hold they are become corrupt
——thcy publish lies-—they delight in deceit-
they deluge the land with sorrow, and lift
ttptliemselves in the high places of thy Na-
tion, aud say who is able to overthrow our
strength?
8. Thy Rulers repose on down-arid re-
cline upon the .3. h divans ofthc East——they
have curtains of satin and damask at their
tvindows, and a profusion ofgold upon their
furniture-they are mixed‘ slothful and li-
ccntious—and the cry of the orphan and the
widow hath come tip into mine cars frotn
this vc-lttptuous land.
9‘. They are pct'verse—tlicy ha‘-ve films
upon their eyes--and they regard not the cries
ofthe oppressed-they have taken the bread
from the mouth of the poor among the people
and have cruslit-cl the hand of labor with the
weight of their niil-administration.
10. They have taken away the reward
of labor—and they hear not the cry of him
that is in want. of bread.

_ ADVICE-GIVING.
BY MRS. vor'.NEv E. HOWARD.
" My dear Mrs. VVi1letl do you give mg’
your advzce '1” cried pretty Mrs. Copeland,
as she ran into her friend’s drawino mom’.
with the privileged air of an establtzlied fa-
vorite; " I ha_v_e. just received this card ofin-'
vitatiou from Mrs. Cummings; i am aware
that every body don’t visit her, yet a great”
many quite respectable people do, and up-
hold her by their presence at her parties‘,-
which lam told are quite delightful; now...
you know Edward well, and 1 want. you to
atlvise me what to do about goin_;r—-ll don’t-
see whv he should care about it--“do too .7”
" 'Why do you not ask him ?” said M;-5_
Willet, smiling.
" Oh, I can't-he is not at home, nor will
he return till the very day of the p.'it't_\',- if he
does then—so do advise me what to do.----
Shall I venture '2” cried the little l)e=.1ltty',-
busying herself in pulling over her friends
work basket.
“ Any thing I can do for you, my dear, I.
will do cheerfully,” said Mrs. VVillct, " ex-
cept giving advice. I have an ‘oath--arr
oath in heaven,’ against advising ttuv one.”
"But I really want your advice‘; now if»
I go, I must purchase an elegant dress. and’
have it made up immediately, and then if
Edward should object to my goingl Oh, it
you will but advise me I shall be so oblig-
ed l” rcspoiided Mrs. Copeland.
“Aye-so I have been told an },m,d',.ed’
times! But sit clown a minute.» and 1 wili
endc-.1 vour to recul for your edificaziori a few’
of my sud expet'it~.-nces in the way of ar.lrising-
people. The reminiscences crowd upon
my mind so thickl-_v, that I so-ircelv know
what examples to choose, but this vierv pin-
cusl'iio’n tvliicfi I am sewing, reminds ‘mi. of
one instance. You have seen Mrs. Chap-
man: I once happened to go on a shopping
expedition with her, she was making v:.i-i-
ops purchases, and at last clieapeited a,
piece of silk very much like this in fine’ and
figure. I thought it very pretty, and toll bet‘
E believed it would not trav not fade, and as
she adrnired it very much she purchase.l itl
Unlucky the day when I first set eves on it.
I never nftertvards mot Mrs. Chnpnian with-
out soniealltision being made to that dress;
sometimes it tvas—-‘don’tI look horridly to.
day? but purple is very unbecoming to me;
some people in recommending things never
think of other people's complextions I’ or
‘you see I have got this horrid silk yet; well,
to be sure, it don’t fade——I wish it would, it
rizig/it look a little delicatethen 1’ next. ‘well,
[never was so tired" o-fa*nything.’as I ainof
that gown you advised me to buy! I believe
the ugly thing never will wear out?’
" Why don’t you give it away T’ soil 1',
when the complaint had been i'citci'atntl a doz.-
en ti.-nr-s, at least.
“ Olil I.-ant not able to give away good
dresses because they are ugly. Other folks
may be able to afford it, but Iam not so
lucky l” would she exclaim.
" At another time, aycuiig friend was ad.-
drcssed by two gcntlemeti with both 0f\\‘l‘.-OH!

I knew the other to be a profligate, with tal-
cuts and property, but of a temper and hab-
its much to be dreaded. Louisa as I then
thought most providcntially, seemed much
inclined to admire the ainible Mr. Jones than.-
the gay Mr. I-lallet although as she is a wo-
man whose attachments are not very strong‘,
circumstances or pursuasion migl’it‘ have in-
cliuetl the balance to the other side. As
my advice was most earnestly requested, 1 did:
not sample to give my vote in favor of .
Jones, and as her own fancy coincidrd with
my advice,she became his wife, and in roy-
opinion it very happy woman,
“ By a series of-‘fortunate chances, cro'.vrr-
ing wine desperate adventures with a success
they by no meansdcserved,M:. I-Iallet became
a rich man, and as success is with the crowd
the test of merit, received the name of rt ver
smart man. He obtained the hand ofa lovely
girl, an old friend of Louisa, whose better
judgement was dazzled by his talents and
Splendid property, and the style in_ which they‘
lived occasioned no little vexatiori to Mrs;
Jones. It is true that Mrs. HalIct’s cliec-la
grew pale, that she lost her gaiety, and that
her voice was ht-ard no more in song or laugh-
ter; it istrue, it was whisperedthat her life
was far from happy, yet, as she dressed ele-
gantly, and rode in a richly ornamented car-
rjagt-,NII‘s. Hallet was called a lucky woman.
Never didl meet Mrs. Jones, without hear-
ing ‘some such speech as the following.
“Pray did you see Mrs. I-Iallet’s new car-
riage-liorses? They are the mostbeautifuli

best husbands in the world, as far as he
can; but 1': must ‘own it provoites me to see‘
Mrs. Hallet driving about in her splendid’

as bad, in a hack. Wfi'Pt't‘ I know--but all
