POETRY.
THE OCEAN.
Beautiful, sublime, and glorious,
Mild, majestic, foaming, free,
Over time itself victorious,
linage of eternity.
Epithet-exhausting ocean,
’Twcre as easy to control,
In the storm, thv billowy motion,
As thy wonders to unroll.
Sun, and moon, and stars shine o’er thee,
See thy surface ebb and flow,
Yet attempt not to explore thee,
In thy soundless depths below.
Whether morning’s splendors steep thee
With the rainbow’s glowing grace,
Tempests rouse, or navies sweep thee,
’Tis but for a moment’s space.
Earth—her valleys and her mountains
Mortal man’s behests obey;
Thy unfathomable fountains
Scoff his search and scorn his way.
Such art thou, stupendous ocean!
But, if overwhelm’d by thee,
Can we think without emotion
What must thy Creator he?
B. Barton.
CONSCIENCE.
’Tis not the babling of a busy world,
Where praise and censure are at random
hurl’d, .
Which can the meanest of my thoughts
control,
Or shake one settled purpose of my soui.
Free and at large might their wild curses
roam,
If all, if all, alas! were well at home.
No—’tis the tale which angry Conscience
tells,
When she with more than tragic horror
swells
Each circumstance of guilt; when stern,
but true,
She brings bad actions forth into review;
And, like the dread hand-writing on the
wall,
Bids late Remorse awake at Reason’s call;
Arm’d at all points, bids scorpion ven
geance pass,
And to the mind holds up Reflection’s
glass;
The mind, which, starting, heaves the
heartfelt groan,
And hates that form she knows to be her
own.

him a ludicrous appearance, whilst
the legs of his trowsers, which are
generally pushed up and hung over the
tops of his boots, renders his whole ap
pearance rather offensive than other
wise. But it is whe‘n the contour of
the face is examined, that the mighti
ness of the mind within is displayed,
and seen to discover its energies to
the attentive spectator. His eye,
which is very dark, possesses great
vivacity, and is sure to glance among
the multitudes that address him, and
to examine and decide at the instant,
on the merits of the numerous appli
cants who appeal to this modern Cras-
sus for the use >f his treasures. Mr.
Rothschild, not vithstanding his nume
rous engagemer s with the world, and
notwithstanding he belongs to that
class of the wo Id's population, with
which we ar< too apt to associ
ate sordiduess and all the offensive
qualities of the professed miser, is as
benevolent and charitable as he is
rich, and yearly expends vast sums in
meliorating the condition of the poor,
whether theype Jews or Gentiles.—
In his manners he is mild and never as
sumes that oristocratical demeanor,
which is ofttn observable in the de
partment of tiose minor lords of crea
tion, vyho grolv purse-proud and aus
tere, and seem to think the world was
made for their entire use and dispo
sal. His example is worthy of the
imitation of Christians, and by adopt
ing his lino of conduct, and practising
upon his rules of action, they might
render themselves far more useful to
themselve/ and society. The boun
ties of heaven were never bestowed
upon a m(>re meritorious individual,

use of them, be teaches us that it is

at times, lead to a long Conversation.

short, singularly simple, hut always
couducted with the greatest serious
ness. Exercise improved his talents;
and at the age of eight or nine, he
could and did pray with considerable
variety, with facility, and occasional
ly, with pathos and eloquence. At the
age of twelve, and thenceforward he
had a remarkable fluency in prayer,
though it was never heard by any hu
man being except.his mother, and my
self. On no occasion could he be pre
vailed upon, even to his last hour, to
take a part beyond that of reading the
scriptures; or of reciting a hymn, in
the devotional exercises of the family.
It vvas, I believe, pure modesty; but
it was carried to an almost criminal
length. In my occasional absence
from home, he always devolved upon
his aunt the task of conducting family
prayer, for which he was himself so
well qualified.

From the Providence Literary Cadet.
MR. ROTHSCHILD.
Mr. Rothschild is, by religion, a
Jew, and sprung from an humble ori-
•gin. He is, if we mistake not, a na
tive of Amsterdam, and in his earlier
days pursued an humble vocation.—
Some years ago, having accumulated
a small fortune, he took advantage of
the political affairs of Europe, and,
removing to Manchester, entered into
extensive linen speculations, and as the
tides turned in his favour, he amassed
a princely fortuue. From Manches
ter he proceeded to London, and be
came an extensive dealer in stocks,
and met with almost uparalleled suc
cess. Ilis reputed wealth soon intro
duced him to the most powerful prin
ces of Europe, who, in their emergen
cies, called on him for loans, and af
ter the lapse of a few years, many of
the States of the continent, asrvell as
England, were regulated by his nod.—
At present, though proscribed for his
religion, he is by far the'most impor
tant personage of Europe. His socie
ty is courted, from the sovereign to
the plebian, and they who affect to
despise him for his creed, are com
pelled to admit his power, and to suc
cumb to his greatness.
He is generally seen at the London
Exchange during the hustle of the
day, and, if he were not pointed out
to the spectator, as the famous bank
er, no man would, on gazing at his
person, suppose it to be that of Mr.
Rothschild. He is careless of his at
tire, which is not of the richest order,
and partakes of nothing that has the
least semblance to extravagance, or
even ordinary richness. A drab hat,
i slovenly flapped over his eyes, gives
Froin the Vermont Chronicle.

Children should early be taught to
pray. Shall they use a torm of pray
er? No—if prayer is rightly deflned
il an offering up of our desires to God.'’
For the experience of most of us tes
tifies that a form prevents or destroys
these desires, and the service is in
great dagger of becoming a mere hab
it.
Rather take the child in your lap,
and teach him plainly and familiarly
his dependence on God, and what he
needs from God, and then let him ex
press them in his own imperfect lan
guage. In a short time a surprising
degree o 'thoughtfulness will be man
ifest a surprising degree of ap
propriateness in the selection of
topics, and not unfrequently an
earnestness, which is deeply affect
ing to a parent’s heart. To attain
this, however, the child should be con
tinually watched and instructed.—
The child then feels the need of that
for which it asks God, & when it thus
feels, w ill express itself with an ap
propriateness and fervor, that other
words than its own will not. permit.
Every parent should keep in mind

ANECDOTES OF REV. J. HAL-
LOCK.
From the Memoir.
A brother who had been to talk with
an offender in the church, informed
Mr. Hallock of his ill-success, and
asked if he should make a second ef
fort. “Stay,” said the affectionate
pastor,‘'and let me first go and see
him.’, lie went, and addresed the
offender nearly in these words: “My
dear brother, I have an unusual affec
tion for you. I can scarce tell you,
how much I love you. I have been
thinking about you, of late, night and
day. My love to you has seemed
stronger, within a short time, than ev
er before.” The man burst into
tears—he could let. him proceed no
farther—his heart melted—he con
fessed his fault., and engaged to make
requisite satisfaction to the church
larity of its name. But, as if this was ]
not sufficient to establish its celebri-1
ty, the inhabitants of that noted placo I
once voted the devil out of its pre-1
cincts; and on another occasion, one of I
its juries decided, that “ a man was[
not a habitual drunkard, unless he was)
drunk more than half the time.”-
One would think, that a decision of|
this kind, might, at least in the pre
sent relined generation, stand unrivall
ed for its eccentricity, or rather for
its deviation from the principles of I
common sense. But a verdict which
vvas lately rendered in this city upon
the same subject, proves the uncer
tainty of all human calculation, and
compels even Penn Yan to yield the
palm of superiority for its jury decis
ions, and forever after to hold its
peace concerning habitual drunkards.
It was proved on the trial of the case
referred to in this city, that the al-
ledged drunkard would become intox-,
icated whenever he had the means oft
procuring ardent spirits of any kind;'
that, in fact he was drunk more than
half the time, and in consequence
thereof was incapacitated from man
aging the affairs of his family. The
jury retired, and after a few minutes’
deliberation, returned with a verdict,
“ that a man teas not a habitual drunk
ard unless he was drunk all the time.”
When his people erected a house
for public worship, there was a differ
ence of opinion, and some warmth of
feeling, as to the form of the scats.—
Some were in favor of pews; others,
of slips. To settle the question, a
meeting of the Society was called.—
On the Sabbath preceeding this meet
ing, Mr. Hallock, ever anxious to a-
vert evil, closed one of his sermons
with the following anecdotes:
“I was, last week, at C , and
•Most willingly—if we can get it. It
will not do to presume much on the extent
of a country editor’s library.—Ed.
As we happen to have the remains of Du
rant in our possession, we insert the para
graph alluded to above.—Ed. Cher. Ph.
William daily heard the scriptures
read in the family, and as constantly
knelt will) us at our family altar.—
But we felt it extremely difficult to
determine on the right method of
teaching him how to pray. Though no
enemies to forms of prayer in the ab
stract, we thought that when children
learn to pray by a form, they too fre
quently pass through the task, without
any exercise of the understanding—
without attention. At this time, Mrs.
D met with a passage in Zollikofer’s
Sermons, which instantly approved it
self to our understandings; and on
which we proceeded to act. It vvas
this:.—“Let your children be taught,
in general its relation to God, its de
pendence upon him, its obligations to
iiim. &c. Ac. then let it form a prayer
for itself. This w ill require thought,
recollection, views of the future,”—
&c. His mother would take him on
her knee, and say, “Now, my dear,
think how good God has been to you
to-day, in continuing to you your dear
papa, and me, and aunt, nnd other
friends; in giving you health, opportu
nity for learning. Ac. Think of what
has been amiss with you. Consider
what you need,—his protection, his
saw a poor sinner in great distress for
his soul. He informed me that he
received his first deep impressions
under a particular ser/non. I said to
him, ‘I want to ask you one question
Was you, when the arrow from God’s
quiver reached your heart, sitting in a
slip or in a pew?’ ‘O, sir,’ said the
astonished man, ‘I cannot tell. My
mind was so overwhelmed with what
the preacher said, I paid no attention
to other objects.’
“I found another person in trans
ports of joy. His tongue was loosed
in the praises of God. He spake in
rapture of the love of Christ. I said
to this man, ‘Dear sir, will you tell
nje the fashion of the meeting-house
where you was seated when you found
this precious Saviour? Had it pews
or slips? He replied, with some im
patience, ‘I neither know nor care a-
bout that matter. It is enough for
me that God was pleased, in his great
mercy, to appear there for my sinking
soul.”
[The effect vvas peculiarly happy.
When the hour of meeting came, a
spirit of concession vvas every where
apparent; and after a solemn prayer
by the pastor, it vvas voted with great
unanimity to leave the whole matter
to the discretion of the builders.—

Fool's Gazette.—We remember to
have seen a notice sometime since,
that a paper was about to be establish
ed in Germany, called the “ Fool's Ga
zette.” There is much matter afloat
that would be every way appropriate
to its columns. All the wonderful, mel
ancholy, disastrous, terrible, frightful,
horrid and atrocious, will of course he
gathered up, and will form a rare treat
for the fools and their cousins. The
following bill of fare vvas posted up at
the window of a London paper not
long since: “The paper of this eve
ning will contain one crim. con. (by a
clergyman,) one elopement, two se
ductions, and one murder.” That
must have been a “Fool’s Gazette.”
In politics the Fool’s Gazette should
wrap party spirit around it as a gar
ment; and the more it can succeed in
identifying parties with the interests of I
individuals and the excitement of per-’
sonal and local feeling, the better it
will succeed with the “Fools.”—
What do they care for principles'?
And what do they care whether it is a
new lie or a repeated one, that flatters
their vanity, gratifies their prejudices,
and adds fuel to the flame of partizan
zeal? A residence in this country at
the present time would furnish the
Editor with a fine opportunity for
learning how to manage this depart
ment. But it would require no little
talent in him to surpass some men in
his line that are now flourishing among
US'.
If he has any thing at all to do with
religion, he must pursue an analogous
course. He must aim at exciting^rid
gratifying sectarian feeling—slander
other dcnominatioiis—-puff his own—■
and always prefer a trifling anecdote
of an /dividual, to valuable facts that
bear on the well-being of communi- -
ties.
Then let him garnish his advertising
columns with cuts of houses, horses,
ships, steamboats, Ac. Ac. so as to
give it the appearance of a stray leaf
from some huge toy book, and the
work is done. How can the reader
understand the subject, unless some
thing illustrative meets the eye?
Ver. Chron.
In a circle of ministers, where the
nature of the sinner’s inability vvas the
topic of discussion, instead of his ex
act views he stated the following
fact:. “A man in my parish, who is no
sailor, lately made an attempt to cross
a mill-pond, in a small boat. The wa
ter was high, and to his dismay he
found himself gradually carried down
toward the dam. In this extremity,
not knowing how to manage the boat,
he called to some persons on the shore
They cried out, ‘Row on the other
side.’ All agitation, he replied, ‘I
can’t.’ They cried more earnestly,
‘row on the other side.' He still said,
tremblingly, ‘I can’t.’ They added,
‘Well, then, go over the dam.”

this useful article may be applied,
are not, perhaps, sufficiently known.

Cure for Dyspepsia.—We have heard
| of a dysyeptic clergyman, at the southy
who, after a long confinement, conclu-
I ded to try the experiment of preach
ing once; and accordingly he deliver
ed three discourses in one day, of an
hour each. Upon his return to the
j house, he told his negro servant that
he felt much better for preaching.—
The servant replied, “I thought you
would mnssa, to get so much trash off
I you tomach.”—Y. 1). Jldv.
