iVIIS.'.iiLL vNEOUS. THE PHESEJre MQMKjrrl ~ A f every ma n nt, every breath, I< f • trembles on the bijnk tf death; A taper'd dime, thit upward turn*; While and >wnward to the dust it burns. A moment Usher’d us to birih, H rs of the commonwealth of parth; Mpotent by m uncut years arc. ptst, Ad one ere lo y; will be our last, ’Twixt that which stru k u* into light, And tha* which shall erlip e in night, Th’re is a point no one can dee, Yet on it hangs eternity God f*i our portion thbn we chusc, Or hi rn forever thbn . fuse; Where is that poi it of woe or bliss? Gone by?—To come? -No, here, ‘tia this. This is the moment which begins; N ow let os c ‘St away our sins; Ttm i- the moment,as it ends, Ou pain or paradise depends. Tne past is fl and, the future not; Tt j p.esent is nur utmost lot; O God! hmic forth our hearts incline, To seek no other way hut thine. Lints sou tided on Fact.

DEACON SLOW. Deacon Slow had three sons —it is unnecessary to mention , his daughters—who were, as Deacons sons are apt to he— the (luce only cui t II why— very roguish. They were in the habit of poking fun at art ol i rum. who endeavored to make his share of the sport, by the hutting them over, a kind of fun winch he often manifested a disposition to play oft'upon the Deacon, as he marched down to salt the flock—for th* se were duties to which he paid strict attention, as lie was excedingly humane, except when he was made very wroth, on which oc casion, his airier would burn like a furnace when seven times heated. Now the Deacon’s sheep pasture was on the -shaw. seen liver, wh cli is narrow hut deep, and the pasture ter minated in a precipice which rose fifteen feet above the wa ter and shelved over it, as a beetle-biowed house hangs o ver a narrow street; and the hoys, after they had exhausted all other fun upon the ram, were in the habit, now then, of squatting on the edge of the precipice, and darting a hat at him, upon which he would come with blind fury thereat, file boy who held the hat could easily leap adde, and the exas perated ram was quickly cooled by a plunge headlong down the precipice into the stream. At this trick they were one dav V caught by the Deacon, their fa ther, who took them into a thicket close by and annointed their hacks thoroughly with the oil of birch—an excellent ap plication in such cases made provided. It is not always ef fectual, however, and in this case the disease was not cured, as the boys were a few days af ter waiting round the place in order to repeat the joke upon the unsuspecting and innocent ram; but upon beholding their father at a distance, coining with his basket of salt, they hid in the thicket in which they had Iso good occasion to ren ember. Slowly came Deacon Solomon Slow; and after he had scatter ed his salt, he stood upright thought within himself, that it would he amusing to see the ram bolt over the precipice in to the liver. He saw no one nigh—how should he, when the boys were hid in the bush es ? and taking off* his broad brimmed hat, he made demon strations, which at once attract ed the notice of the lord of the flock, who set out, as usual, in full speed. Ihe Deacon had squatted close to the edge—£s as he saw the ram bounding a long, he pictured out to his fan cy; the ridiculous figure the sil ly sheep would make, bounding with a splash into the water — he began to sntile—the ram at last came close, fierce on the charge, more enraged as the hat was laigerthan common— the Deacon grinned outright, but in the midst of his delight at the can’s ridiculous appear ance—he forgot to jump aside and he beast hutted him over with a splash into that water where he intended the silly sheep should have gone. The hoys ran out clapping their hands and shouting ‘you’ve got it, dad. you’ve got it dad,’ in all the extacy of revenge. Dea con Solomon Slow crawled out horn his bath with a visage lon ger than he had ever wore be fore. This was hi* last smile. He was afterwards called Dea eon Solemn by his neigh! ors, among whom he lived and died at a venerable old age. One of the crew of the Ma cedonian, having received the wages of the late three year’s cruise, went with the money in his hand, into a store, and hav ing purchased a pocket book put the roll of notes in his round jacket. The store kee per told him that it w 7 as the fashion to put the money into the pocket hook, but the sailor affirmed, he was up to the hicks of the land lubbers; and went oil*. The next dav he ic turned to the store, exclaiming in great glee, ‘They’ve got it— give me another!’ He ha I in deed lost his pocket book, hut secured his notes. A wag was passing a livery stable one day, in front of which several lean horses I were tied stopping suddenly, and gazing at them some time with a phiz indicating the ut most astonishment, and then addressed the owner who was ; standing near, and asked ‘if he 1 made horses’—‘make horses?’; said the knight of the broom and cuiry comb, ‘no! why do you ask such a question?—‘On ly,’ leplied he,‘because l ob serve you have several frames set up.’ I A servant girl at Lisle, once made a bet she would go at midnight, without a light, and bring from the charnel a skull; but the person with whom she bet, wishing to frighten her, went before her and concealed himself. When he heard her pick up the skull, he called out in a hollow voice, ‘Leave me niv head!’ The girl v rv cool ly laid it down, obseiving ‘Well there it is then,’ and then took up another: The voice again repeated, ‘Leave me my head!’ The girl heroically answered ‘Nae, nae. friend—ve canna ha’ ;twa heads!* [ PROPOSALS For publishing, at Darien , Geo. a JVe.o paper, to be entitled the Darien Phoenix. By a.c. Mclntyre. IN issuing proposals fir this publicitio the Editor deems apology to be unne. cessary. He is only exercising the pro fession * fhn youth, and can conduce nei ther to good nor evil, apart from the pub lic will. If success attend the under taking, it must arise from the natural ad vantages of Darien, the ud of art now em ployed in b. halfof that City, and its Con nexion, as an entrepot, with two-third of ti e State. The PHCENIX will, theic fore, be* chiefly valuable H 9 a coniine, cial vthicle; and, as the Editor must and. p< ntl for subsistence on the circulation of his paper, the public have a strong bond for his txertiuns. On .he score of politics, he lies hut Id tie to advance. Averse to new doctrine* and ambitious innovations, his creed is the Constitution of the United States, and his exposition of that instrument* the one that obtained under the Ad ministration of Washington, Jefferson Madison, and Monroe. For other polit ical ihcta, he confesses freely that he has no veneration. Hence, lie announces hiraselt as belonging neither to the sect f Ali or Ouiai ; but determined in eveiy event to suppoi t men so long only as they are able and willing to contribute to the national prosperity. To these who wish to cherish a paper based on other piincijdes, he in frankness must observe, that he desires not their patronage. TERMS.
