It'ls believed that the village of Norwalk
and its environs afford more inducements to
the pleasure seeker and the man of business
than any town in the state. Its splendid
Churches, Seminaries and Schools, with their
purrounding scenery—its magnificent drives,
its superior facilities for sailing and fishing,
and last but not least. its fine oysters, are
sufficient it is believed to tempt the most fas-
tidious. Hoping for a share of the public pat-
ronage, I am its humble servant.

Our Lord and King who reign’st rntbroned on high,
Father of Light i Mysterious Deity !
Who art the great I AM—rthe last, the first—
.Arl righteous, holy, merciful and just—
In realms ofglory, scenes whore angels sing,
Heaven is the dwelling—place ofGod our King,
Hallowed the name, which doth all names transcend 1
Be thou adored, our great Almighty Friend !
Thy glory shines beyond creatibn’s space,
Named in the book ufjnstice and of grace ;
Thy kingdom towers beyond the starry skies ;
Kingdom satanic falls, but thlne shall rise.
Come let thine empire, 0, thou holy One,
Thy great and everlasting will be done !
Will God make known his will, his powers display 1’
Be it the work of mortals to obey.
Done is the great, the wondrous work of love,
On Calvary's cross he died, but reigns above,
Earth bears the record in thy holy word.
.4: heaven adores thy love, let earth, 0 Lord ;
It shines transcendent in the eternal skies,
Is praised in heaven—for man the Saviour dies.
In songs immortal, angels laud his name, '
Heaven shouts with joy, and saints his love proclaim.
give us, oh Lord, our food, nor cease to give '
L's proper food on which our souls may live.
This be our boon today and days to come,
Day withoutpnd, in our eternal home :
Our needy solos supply from day to day,
Daily assist, and aid us when we pray ;
Breatlthough we ask, yet Lord thy blessing lend,
And make us grateful when the gifts descend.
Forgive our sins, which in destruction place

Debts which we ne’er can pay or thou receive.
As we, ob Lord, our neighbor’s fnulis o’eriook,

Fitrgt‘ve our memies ; extend thy grace
Our souls to save, e’en Adam’s guilty race ;

And in that duty paidvby saints above.
Lead us from sin, and in thy mercy raise
Us from the temptcr and his hellish ways ;
Not in our own, but in His name who bled,
Into thine car we pour our every need.

Rut may we conquer through thy conquering son.
Deliver us from all which can annoy
Us in this world, and may our souls destroy ;
From all calamities which men bctidc,
Evil and death, oh turn our feet aside,
For we are mortal worms, and cleave to clay ;
Thine ’tis to rule, and mortals to obey.
Is not thy mercy, Lord, forever free ?
The whole creation knows no God but thee.

The King Eternal reigns the King of all. '

Ami be thy name adored by earth and heaven,
The prmsc of saints and angels is thy own.

From Reynold’s Jltiscellany
A Travelling Acquaintance.
It is highly important to those who
travel from London to Edinburgh in a
day, and who cannot read or go to ‘slcep
in a railway carriage, to secure for them-
selves an agreeable travelling compan-
ion.
Having to take this journey very often
and laboring antler the above disadvan-
tages as I do, the practice of looking
out for eligible fellow-passengers, at
King’s Cross or Enston Square,has made
me pretty perfect in my judgments. The
most cursory of glances sufiiccs to con-
vince me of 'Who’s Who, in the 9 A. M.,
in the case of four fifths of its live stock,
whose rank and situation I can approxi-
mate to with the fidelity of acollector of
income-tax, and whose very opinions I
can often predicate without giving them
the trouble of opening their lips.
On Tuesday, the 20th of July last, I
had occasion to set out northward, as
usual, from Enston Square. I was a lit-
tle late and hurried, and there was not
a very varied collection of passengers to.
choose from. As I walked hastily by
the side of the already occupied carriages
the unthinking guard would, in his impa-
tience, have twice consigned me to du-
rance vile—once in company with a
whole juvenile family, who had already
commenced eating and smelling of am
sandwiches, and once with no less then
five Culedonians, only waiting for an En-
rlishmuu that they might begin to dilate
upon the perfectious of their native land.
[cost myself into the last through cur-
riugc in despair, and Without so much as
looking before me. It‘ is probable that
my luck would be better, it could hardly,
as may be imagined, at ullevents,be very
much worse.
Beside myself, the carriage had but
one other occupant, a young man of an
-ltogcthcr gentlemanly appearance, ex-
cept, perhaps, that his clothes looked
suspiciously new, and his but somewhat
too glossy. , He was not reading the
Times so intently but that he could spare
a scrutinizing glance at the new arrival,
as I rammed my carpet bag under the
seat with my hands, and kept a sharp
look-out, under my right arm, on him.—
When I rose, he was again buried in—
yes l—in the advertisement sheet. The
gentleman, then, had probably some good
reason for concealing his talent for ob-
servation. Nobody who does not want
a sltuation, ever gets wrapped up in _ an
advertisement sheet, and my companion,
I am sure, was in want of no such thing.
His profession, whatever that might be,
had been settler] long ago, and the fiSll-
ing rod and guide book which l'eposed
over his head, disclosed a young gentle-
man, with money to spare, who was
about to take a summer tour among the
trout streams of the north. One circum-
stance which occurred just after we start-
ed, persuaded me that he must be a law-
yer, (and, indeed, as afterwards turned
out. his pursuits did partake of the nu-
tnre of that calling,) so much didit smack
of ready reasoning and practised acute-
ness. Leaning out of the window as the
train begun to move, the wind carried
away his glossy hat, whereupon, instead
of sitting down forlornly, and muttering,
Good gracious! or Confound it! the
young man seized upon his hut-box, and,
launched that after the missing proper-
y “ My hat-box,” he explained, in answer
to my store of amazement, “has got my
Edinburgh address in it, but my but has
not. The one is of little use without the
other, and it is probable, since we have
barely left the station, that they will both
be found and forwarded to me by the
next train.” ' __
Here was an original! Here was a
grand exception to four-fifths of the
human race who travel in first class car-r
ringes l I hugged myself with the idea
that I had secured so promising a com-
panion, and that too, after such a couple
of previous escapes.
“ But how do you know l” I urged,
because I had nothing better to say, and
was determined, at all risks, not to suffer
the conversation to drap, “ how do yen
know that somebody won’t steal them‘?”
“ I don’t know,” replied the other, with
a. coutemptubus dryness, “but," I do not
”think it‘ ‘ probable; the articles would

. , . "of'his' watch”.
fetch "so small a price that, the rewprdj -. _ ,
would be likely to be qmte as Ire-,f
munerative as the swag itself,and of course
without the risk.” _,
The swag l Did anybody who travels
first class ever hear such an expression?
I was a good deal piqued, also, at the
tone of annoyance in which he spoke, and
I replied tartly.
“ I don’t understand thieves’ logic nor
the language either.
“ Ah 1 I do,” responded my Companion
carelessly. . And he then resumed his 98‘
per. . , .
We had passed Rugby, and were fly.
ing through the dark dominions of ‘King
Coal, before either of us again broke si- ,
fence. . .,
“ Come,” cried my barcheaded sequoia-f
tance, suddenly, " there is no occasion for:
us two to quarrel, only nothing, puts me
so out of temper as to see a. man proud
of his ignorance. 'Now, you are a keen,
longbeoded fellow enough, 1 can see, but
you don’t know anything.” . p .
“ Perhaps not,” I replied, still annoyed
by the man’s manner, and at__ the unsc-
customed position of second fiddle, in
which I found myself, “ but I have real-
ly no ambition to learn thieves’ logic.”
" What a. type of the respectableclus-
893 of this country you do afford,” mused
the other, coolly, in this your excessive
obstinacy and conceit. You haveno am-
bition to learn, and yet, I dare say, that
you, yourself are concerned. either direct-
ly or indirectly, in endeavoriog to dimin-
ish crime, and to put down theprofession
of roguery. You helpto elect a member
of Parliament who votesnpon social sub-
jects, you subscribe to benevolent associ-
ations, for the moral rescue of criminals ;
you consider the convict question to be on
important one, and yet you—if. '
Here this irreverent individual abso-.
lutely burst out laughing. . “ What
would you think of a doctor, now, who
had prescribed for a patient into the par-
ticular features of whose case he5 hadono ,
ambition to inquire I?" _ .
“ I am not a doctor, I roared, allz’ont
of patience, “ and Iwish all the thieves
in England were to be bung~ tomorrow."
“ They'conntry would be sadly depopn-
fated/{replied the other, impassively ;
“ you and I certainly would never meet
again.” 4
“ This is downright insult,” I exclaimed
with indignation, “ I shall take care to
change carriages and company at the
very next station.” . .
“ Nay sir, I meant no ofi‘ence,” res-
ponded my companion, gravely, “I re-
ferred to myself as being doomed to be
cut off in the flower of my days, if your ,
wishes should be carried into effect. I
have been a pickpocket from my very
crudlc, and,” added be, after a pause, “ I
am thankful to say that I have not been
altogether unsuccessful in my vocation.”
I was startled for an instant by the
man’s seriousness, and instinctly, although
he was at the other end of the compart-
ment, looked for his wicked hands.—
Thev were lying in his lap before him,
neatly gloved and, one of them still hold-
ing the paper. .
5 “ Ah,” he said, smiling, and at once
comprehending my glance, “ these are
nothing. They are merely my whitcd
walls, my outside respectabilitics, my os-
tentatious 'charities, my prayers before
business proceedings. We have our little
hypocricies, like the commercial world.—
Sce here,” he rose up to his full height,
and the two; lemon-colbred, aristocratic
hands fell on the floor with, a__ thud.— '
"‘ Here are my natural digits,”‘:he contin-
ued, producing another’set of digits. un-
gloved, and not particularly clean ; “ no-
body wonld suspect, a man of picking
pockets who always keeps his hands be-
fore llilll,- and reads the City article in the
Times.
“ You were reading the advertisement ,
sheet,” I said, intensely interested, but
still inclined for contradiction. _ g
“ Yes _sir,” he retorted, “because I
saw that pretence of that kind, to a per-
son of your intelligence, would be futile.
I always change my tactics with my com-
pany.
_‘ I began to feel very tenderly for this
poor fellow, whom doubtless circumstan-
ces had driven to his present dreadful
calling, but wnose mental endowments
had evidently fitted for far better things.
" But why,” I urged, “not have picb
ed my pocket, young man.”
“ Because sir,” he answered, “ I am
now bent on pleasure, and not on busi-
ness, unless something very . enticing
should come in my way, open and unre4
served conversation, too, such as I felt I
Could indulge in with you, is to one in
my situation, too rare it happiness to be
easily foregone, besides,” he added. was.
suming his natural tone, “ you don't car-
ry your bunk-note in your pocket at all."
I felt myself glowing allover as red as
a, beet-root or boiled lobster, but I man-
aged to articulate as calmly as I could,
“ Bank-notes I ah, that’s a. good joke.—
I very seldom have anything of that kind
to carry, I’m sorry to say.”
“ Yes, but when you have Plum-toga.
ted the other silly.
“ We'll sir, when I have, what then f”
I retorted, with nesnmed carelessness.
, _“. Why, what a very strange place,” re-
marked he, very slowly and impressively,
" your neckcloth seems to be for keeping
them safe.”
" How the devil did you come to know
that p?” I cried, in astonishment.
“ What doesit signify i What can
be the value of thieves’ logic l”, he on-
swered, derisively, “ I am sure you can
have no ambition to be informed.”
“Pray tell,”rl entrented, f‘pray tell.
I humbly apologize.” I had very nearly
robbed myself of a most interesting conv
versation through my own ill-humor.—
“ It is very true that I have a number of
Scotch notes in the place you mention,
which my purse would not bold, but what
on earth made you discover it l”
“ It was very simple reasoning,” he re-
pliet , “ nod scarcely needs explanation ;
