A NEGLECTED DUTY.
tIfaTIUCTIVB INCIDENT.
One morning just as the day began to
4*wo, Mr. M. was roused by a loud knock
ing at his door. On opening the door, lie
found Mr. R., a friend who lived about
three miles distant.
•Walk, in, Mr. It.’said he,‘l hope nothing
has happened to call you away from home
also early an hour?* I
•I thank you, I can’t come in. Mr. L., I
believe, owes you a coasiaerable sum?
‘He does.’
‘Well, you must he wide awake if you
don’t wish to lose it. He is about to leave
the place, and has taken measures for the
speedy removal of all his property. I
thought you could not well afford to lose
yeur debt, and so I have come over to let
you know how things stood.’
•I am very much obliged to you; but have
you come from home at this early hour oil
purpose to inform me?”
‘I had no other business.’
‘lt was very kind in vou to take the trou
ble.’
‘lt was no great trouble to take for a
neighbor. We must help one another:
good morning.’
‘Stop, slop, come in and get some break
fast before you go back.’
‘I can’t stay, tor I must be home ns soon
after sunrise as possible. 1 have several
workmen to attend to; and besides if you
are agoing to secure your debt, you bad bet
ter not wail for breakfast.’
‘Vary true.’
Mr. 11., set out on bis return, and Mr.
M, went to visit bis delinquent debtor.
•Mr. R.,’ said Mr. M. to himself, ‘is a
good man; very few would have taken so
much trouble to serve another, lie is a
very kind upright man; I wish all Church
members were as much so.’
Now, it had so happened that Mr. It.,
with all his kindness and uprightness, had
never spoken to Mr. M. about the danger
he was of losing his soul! It would certainly
have been as great a proof of kindness to
have warned him against the loss of his
soul, as it was to warn him against the loss
of his debt. It required no greater gift of
speech to do the one than the other.
How fearfully is the duty of warning men
neglected! llow few make it their business
to speak to men respecting their eternal in
terests!
An unleeling, obtrusive mode of speaking
respecting the interests of the soul, is only
adapted to do barm; hut a warning kindly
given, the result ofn lienrlfellintereston the
part of him who gives the warning, seldom
fails to exert a beneficial influence.
On a certain occasion a poor day labor
er went to a rich farmer and manufacturer,
and said, ‘Sir you may think 1 take too
much upon me, but 1 have been wanting to
tell you for some time that. 1 feel bad about
you.’
The humility and affection with which he
spoke touched the rich man, nnd led him to
request his visitor to say what fio had to gay
to him with freedom. The poor inau was
silent and embarrassed.
‘What diJ you wish to speak tome about?’ j
said the rich man.
‘About your soul.’
‘Well, what have you to say?’
‘1 am afraid you will have your only por
tion here, and won’t get to heaven, and that
you won'tdo the good you ought to do with
your property and your influence.’
Their conversation was interrupted by
one who had businesspwith the rich man,
who dismissed his Christian friend courte
ously, saying.
‘I am much obliged to you, and will try
and think of the matter you mentioned.’
The nest Sabbath be was seen where be
had not been seen for months—in the house
ofGod; and lie continued to attend, with a
good degree of regularity, from that on
wards. The collector lor a benevolent !
cause was emboldened to present a subscrip- i
tion paper to him; he put down five dollars
in the poor man’s name and paid it. Wheth
er any saving results to his soul followed
from the conversation above alluded to, is
not known to the writer. Certain it is that
the warning was kindly received, and pro
duced some good effects.
The neglect of this duty is not always
owing to forgetfulness or indifference, but to
a strange disinclination to utter from the
lips what is lelt in the heart.
Two men were engaged in mowing the
same meadow. One was a pious man, the
other was a profane Sabbath-breaker. The
pious man felt deeply for his fellow labor
er, and determined to urge him to break off
from his sins, and to seek the salvation of
his soul. Bui he found it difficult to speak
to him on the subject. Though they were
alone, and it would seem there was nothing
in the way, yet day after day passed, and
no word of warning was spoken. The pi
ous man was distressed in consequence of
hit neglect of duly, and on a certain night
fully resolved that on the morrow, as soon
as they reached the meadow, lie would
make an affectionate and solemn appeal to
bis companion.
The next moruing thalcompanion did not
come to the meadow. The pious man
wrought alone till noon,nnd then went to the
dwelling of his fellow laborer. Ho found
that he was no longer among the living?—
la the night he was taken violently with the
cholera morbus, and died about ten o’clock.
‘He spoke of you,’ said the widow to Mr.
S., *and wanted to see you: but 1 bad no one
to send for you.’
‘Did he sav anything about dying?’ said
Mr. S. ‘ ‘
‘Hs was in great pain most of the time af
ler he was taken,so that he did little else
than groan, but he was t.frnid to die.’
- Mr. S., lelt his heart faint within him as
those words were uttered. ‘He was afraid
to die,’ Yes, he might well be: and a pro
fessing Christian who was with him daily,
und who really cared lor his soul, had nev
er done anything to prepare him lor death.
Ou a certain occasion l)r. Chalmers, when
away from home, passed an evening in
company, with a number of pious friends
and a former parishoner, who was seventy
two years of age, He was a large, stout
man, apparently in good health. Though
God spared him morethan three score and
ten years, yet he had not secured the one
thing needful.
During the evening the conversation took
a devout turn, and was continued until at a
late hour. The old man listened attentive
ly, and seemed to ponder what was said.
Dr. C. noticed the attention he paid to
the conversation, and felt inclined to speak
to hi in personally respecting his eternal in
terests, hut thought it would hardly’ be pro
per in the presence of tl.e company.
The next morning a noise was heard in
the old man’s room. Dr. Chalmers ran in
to the room just in time to see him die. It
was the second death he had ever witnessed.
When it was certain that life was extinct,
lie kneeled down and offered an affecting
prayer, and then called together the house
hold, and gave them a solemn exhortation.
He was great 1 v depressed during the day,
a large part of which wasspent with a friend
in the woods. ‘lt was touching.’ said that
Iriend, ‘to see him sit down on a bank re
peatedly, with tears in his eyes, and say,
All! God lias rebuked me; 1 know now what
St. Paul means by being instant in season,
and out of season. Had 1 addressed that
old man lasi night with urgency, it might
have seemed out of season to human eyes,
but how seasonable it would have been.—

ONE MORE PKAYJRt.
A drunkard who had run through his
property, returned one night to his iinfurii
j ished home. He entered his empty hall
—ungtiish was gnawing at Ins heart-strings,
and language is inadequate to express his
agony as he entered his wife’s apartment,
and there beheld the victims of his appe
tite, his lovely wife and darling child.—
Morose and sullen, he seated himself with
out a word; he could m>t speak, he could
not look upon them. The mother said to
the angel by her s : de, “Come, my child.il
is lime to go to bed;” and the babe, as was
her wont, knelt by her mother’s lap, and
gazing wistfully into the face of her suffer
ing parent, like a piece of chiselled statua
ry, slowly repealed her nightly orison; nnd ,
when she had finished, (but four years of 1
ago,)said to her mother:
“Dear ma, may I not oiler up one more 1
prayer?”
“Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray.”
“Oh God, oh spare my dear papa !”
That prayer was wafted with electric
rapidity to the throne of God. It was j
heard—it was heard on earth. The re- j
sponsive “Amen !” burst from the father’s
lips, and his heart of stone became a hearl !
of flesh. Wife and child were both clasped j
to his bosom, and in penitence, lie said, j
“My child, you have saved your father i
from a drunkard’s grave. I will sign the j
pledge.”
THE OLD MAN.
No expression that we arc acquainted
with, grates so harshly upon our ears, as
1 that of “the old man,” when il comes fro in
(he lips of a son, speaking of his father. Ji
is irreverent, and shows a lack of some
kind in the training of the child, ‘flic per
son who habitually uses the expression, is
either intimate with low characters, or lie
does not feel that respect nnd reverence
due from a child to a parent.
In excuse, it is said, ’tis but a jest and
means nothing. If.so, it were better not
to jest on such a subject, and use some
expression that does mean something.
Old man is used as a term of reproach, n
sort of by-word, and a bugaboo to scare
bad children, and in the manner used, ex
presses a sort ofeontempt, or don’t care.
There are several stages to he gone
through before the old man is brought on.
I’n, papa, and father have had their day,
and as the young swell lazily rolls his cigar
or quid of tobacco to the other corner of his
tuouth, strokes his goose-down chin, he re
plies, with a curl of his lip, to the gentleman
by whom he is interrogated, “Thai’s no
body but the old man.”
Young chaps that frequent oyster cellars,
beer saloons, and fashionable wine shops,
who can smoko a“rcgalia,” or chew“ladies’
twist,” without making them sick, or walk
a crack with three glasses of champaigns
—these are tho sprigs who talk of “the
old man,” who don’t know they’re out.
We have also heard these same charac
ters speak of their mother as “the old wo
man.” True, it’s no heinous offence, yet
it shows— and it shows as plainly as any
other swagger, what company they keep,
and the estimate they place upon their
parents’ love and care, for so many years.
TIIE FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
The first attempt to set up a newspaper
in North America, so far as can be ascer
tained, was made in Boston, in 1090. Os
the paper then issued, only one copy is
known to bo in existence; and that copy is
deposited in tho State Paper-Office in Lon
don. Number 1, of this paper, and proba
bly the only number ever published, is da
ted September 25, lt>9o It is a small sheet
of four quarto pages, one of which is blank,
and contains a record of passing occur
rences, foreign and domestic. Immediate
ly on its publication, it was noticed by the
legislative authorities. Four days after,
they spoke of it as a pamphlet; stated that
it came out contrary to law, and contained
“reflections of a very high nature;” they
strictly forbade “anything in print, without
license first obtained from those appointed
by the Government to gran’ the same.” It
win printed by Richard Pierce, lor Benja
min Harris. The latter had a printing
house in Boston, and printed chiefly for
booksellers, lie was horn in London, and
returned to that place about the year 1G94.
Dunton, an English bookseller, who had
been iu Boston, in his “Life and Errors,”
printed at London, in 1705, says of Benja
min Harris, “He was a brisk assorter of
English liberties, nud once printed a book
with that very title. He sold a Protestant
Petition, in King Charles’ reign, for which
he was fined five pounds; and he was once
set in the pillory, but his wife (like a kind
rib) stooJ by him to defend her husband

T USC A ROR A*TnDI ANS.
The Tuscaroras were once a powerful
nation of North Carolina. In ;7(iß they
had “fifteen towns, and could cotwt twelve
hundred warriors.” Three yehiTifter that
dale they had a quarrel with df§>olotiists,
the latter making aggressions on their terri
tories. War ensued, the Tuscaroras, in
concert with the C’orees, making a descent
upon the settlers on the Roanoke River,
and the Pamlico and Albeniarte Sounds.
The whites in South Carolina flew to the re
lief of their brethren in North Carolina; and
the Tuscaroras, defeated and persecuted,
migrated to this Stale. They made a per
manent location in Niagara county, on what
is called the Mountain Ridge, just before
the close ol the Revolution. The
gave them a mile square of land; the Hol
land Company afterwards added two square
miles more; and in ISO f, through General
Dearborn, they purchased of that company
(which then owned almost the entire eight
western comities of the Slate under the title
of the Holland Purchase, 4,329 acres: the
three parcels constitute flie r present pos

FREDERICK AND THE HIBERNIAN.
I Frederick of Prussia had a mania for en
listing gigantic soldiers into the “Royal
Guards,”and paid enormous bounty to his
recruiting officers for getting them. One
day his recruiting sergeant chanced to spy
a Hibernian, wlm was at least seven feet
high, he accosted him in English, and pro
posed that he should enlist. The idea of a
military life and a large bounty so delight
ed Patrick, that he at once consented.
“But, (says the sergeant,) urilcsf,you can
speak German the king will not give you
so much.”
“0, (said the Irishman,) sliuro it?s I that
don’t know a word of German.” *
“But,” said the serge mt, “three words
will lie sufficient, and these you can learn
in a short time.”
The king kuowsevery man in tho Guards.
As quick as he sees you, he will ride up and
ask how old you are; you will say twenty
seven—next how long yon have been in
the service; you must reply three weeks
finally, if you are provided with clothes and
rations, you answer both.”
Patrick soon learned to pronounee his an
sivcis, but never dreamed of icariiing the
questions.
In three weeks lie appeared before the
King in review.
11 is majesty rode up to him, Paddy step
ped forward with “present arms.”
“How old arc you?” said tho king.
“Throe weeks,” said the Irishman.
“How long have you been in the ser
vice?” asked his majesty.
“Twenty-seven years.”
“Am I or you a fool?” roared thfc king.
“Both,” replied Patrick, who *was in
stantly taken to tho Guard house.
GIANT BIRDS.
There have been discovered in New
Zealand, within a short time, the bones ol
birds of gigantic size. Accounts of ihe find
ing of such bones have been publis ted, but
nothing very satisfactory has nppei red, un
til, by the exertions of some untiling orni
thologists, entire skeletons of su :h birds
have been taken out of the earth, and are
now to be seen in a museum at Ednburgh.
in the collei tion of bones, is one belonging
to the a lower joint ot the leg, which measures
thirty one inches in length, twid a tlijgh bone
measuring seventeen inches in length, the
average circumference of both being twelve
inches, showing that from the loot u the top
of the shoulder, the bird must have been at
j least thirteen feet high!
Dr. Mautell of London, an eminent na
turalist, lately lectured before a plulosophi
; cal association in Edinburgh, on the subject
of these great extinct birds; and vur coun
| tiyman, the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, himself
greatly distinguished for his scientific re
searches, heard him. Dr. 11. says:
“That in moving a vole of thanks to Dr.
Mautell foi bis lecture, Dr. Robinson said
that it was a sermon, and that it not only
spoke to us ol G"d, but ol the. Redeemer;
alluding, 1 suppose, to the fact, (hatthe dis
covery of the Dinornis (said tube the great
est discovery in zoology made during the
: present century,) was the result ol mission
ary operations. Dr, M. responded very
; happily to these allusions, and plactd moral
truth immeasurably above science. 1 do
: not believe that any social allusion, would
have been tolerated for a moment, Indeed,
the high-toned moral sentiments winch were
uttered, received a hearty response from
the audience; and 1 regard this feature of the
Association ns its highest glory; I could
have wished that those who regard modem
science as almost synonymous Wrtlk scepti
cism, had been present, to see liowitlie most
eminently scientific men of Great Britain
treated that subject.”
We hope our young friends will remem
ber that those who have most thoroughly
studied the worksol God, aro generally the
most ready to testily to the boundless wis
dom, and benevolence, and power which
they display. The unbelieving naturalist
is as much beside himself as the -undevout
astronomer.” — Youth's Penn;/ Gazette.
