TO THE PATRONS OF THE CHRISTIAN ALMANAC,
In conformity with the wishes of many of the patrons of the Chris¬
tian Almanac, we have made the selections for the present number of
a more miscellaneous character than is usual. We have endeavored
to relieve the dryness of statistical detail, by interspersing a larger
proportion of anecdote ; not forgetting, however, even here, to blend
instruction with amusement.
The space devoted to the statistics of the various Religious and Be¬
nevolent Societies, is less than has been customary Much minute in¬
formation, under this head, has been given in Almanacs of former
years, and to them we must also refer for many interesting general
views of the operations of these Institutions.
By comparing the income of the principal Benevolent Societies as
given on page 33, with a similar table in the Almanac for 1829, it wiH
be perceived that the cause of Benevolence has made rapid progress
during the past year. Particularly is this true in America. Last year
the income of the American Bible Society was $75,879, and the num¬
ber of Bibles and Testaments issued, 134,607 ; this year the income
is $143,184, and the numberofBibles and Testaments issued, 200.122.
Last year the ipcome of the American Tract Sac «ty was $45,134,
and the number of Tracts printed, 5,019,000 ; this year the income
is $60,153, and the number of Tracts printed is 6,268,000. Last
year the whole income of the American Sunday School Union was
$54,000, and the number of scholars under their care, 260,000; this
year the income is $76,800. and the number of scholars 350,000.
Last year the income of the American Board of Foreign Missions
was $92,380; this year it is $113,901.
To these encouraging facts we must add the noble resolution of the
American Bible Society, to supply, within two years, every family in
the U. States with a Bible, and the determination of gentlemen con¬
nected with the American Tract Society, in many parts of our coun
try, to carry a Tract periodically to every family that is willing to re¬
ceive it. Nor must we forget, that in the progress of the Temperance
cause, the quantity of ardent spirits consumed throughout our whole
land, has probably been reduced nearly one-third.
These facts indicate, that the noble work in which the Christian
community is engaged, is not the effect of temporary enthusiasm, but
of a steady and resolute principle; a principle, we trust, of deep and
genuine piety, which will not cease to act, until every tittle of the
command of God is executed, and the good news of salvation is
preached and welcomed in every nation, and tribe, and family, under
the whole heaven. That thi- "little work, which we annually put
forth, may be instrumental in hastening the approach of that day, is
the ardent prayer of the Compiler.

TRACT ANECDOTE.
Two or three months after the New-York City Tract Society began
to distribute one Tract in each month to every family which was wil¬
ling to receive them, an esteemed Clergyman of the city met an aged
female member of his church with the usual salutation, " How do you
do?" " I am getting better," she replied. "Getting better?—I did
not know that you had been sick." " Oh yes—1 have not been well
these five-and-twenty years. But I begin to feel better. God bless
the Tract Society ! These Tracts that they are distributing to every
family, have come close home upon my husband. They told him he
must not break the Sabbath, and so plainly, that he knew they meant
him. They told him his Lord's will, and he has begun to do it , He
prays in his family now. Yes, and he has knocked off his glass too ?
—I begin to feel a good deal better, Sir."
A TRACT IN NEW-YORK CITY.
A young Lady, in visiting for a Bible Association in New-York
City, became acquainted with a family who had been reduced tc
wretchedness by the Intemperance of the father, and were often
shamefully abused by him in his fits of intoxication. Being about to
leave the City, she called to bid the family farewell, and left for the
father, as a parting present, The Rewards of Drunkenness. About a
year afterwards, she returned to the City, and calling on the family,
at first thought she had mistaken their place of residence, for " neat¬
ness and comfort," she says, " characterized the dwelling, and peace
sat smiling on every countenance. It was Saturday evening, and evi¬
dent to me, that the sacred rest of the Sabbath had been anticipated
in the arrangements of the family. The mother discovered my plea¬
sing surprize, and exclaimed, ' 0the Tract—the Tract hus got all
these nice things! My husband never drank after you gave him the
Tract. He seems to be a reformed man; and says the Tract ha.s mtt£c
him hqpjpy, and brought peace an.d plenty to Ms hou.se.'"
1st Month
JANUARY, 1830.
hath SLdays.
On the first of every January reckon with yourself, and reckon honestly ; bring:
into view all debts and credits, notes and accounts; ascertain what was the amount
of your expenses the last year, and the loss or gain; make out a fair statement,
and enter the whole in a book for the purpose. Having arrived at this important
knowledge, you will imitate the prudent traveller, who always keeps in view where
he is next to move: you will look forward, and calculate how and in what way
you shall best meet and prosecute the business of the ensuing seasons.—'In all your
calculations, remember—the soul!
If you want any thing done, go; if not, send.

Importance of Punctuality.—Method is the very hinge of business; and there is
no method without punctuality. Punctuality subserves the peace and good temper
of a family. Punctuality produces calmness of mind. A disorderly man is always
in a hurry ; he has no time to speak to you, because he is going elsewhere; and
when he gets there, he is too late for bis business; or he must hurry away to an¬
other before he can finish it. Punctuality gives weight to character. " Such a man
has made an appointment. Then I know he will keep it." And this generates
punctuality in you ; for, like other virtues, it propagates itself. Servants and chil¬
dren must he punctual w here their leader is so. appointments are debts. I owe
you punctuality, if X have made an appointment with you; and have no right to
throw away your time, if I do my own.
If you want any thing done, go to the man who is full of business. He that has
nothing to do, can do nothing.

The Life-Boat.—The world is a wreck ! said a speaker at a missionary meeting
in England- We have all been overboard; but, glory be to God, he sent us the
life-boat! We were taken in—some half dead, and others gasping for life—and all
brought safe to land! And now, what shall we do with the life-boat f Shall we
not send it off to the wreck, and try to save the rest of the crew t or shall we be
so hard-hearted as to say, " Let them save themselves as they can—or let them go
to the bottom ?" Far lie it from us ! No, sir; we have come hither on purpose to
man the boat, to victual and provision her afresh, and send her off again, to en¬
deavor to pick up and save the rest of the crew.

hath 30 days.
The human frame may be compared to a watch, of which the heart is the
main-spring, the stomach the regulator, and what we put into it the key by which
the machine is wound up. According to the quantity, quality, and proper di¬
gestion of what we eat and drink, will be the pace of the pulse, and the action
of the system in general. When we observe a due proportion between the quan¬
tum of exercise and that of excitement, all goes on well. If the machine be dis¬
ordered, the same expedients are employed for its re-adjustment as are used by
the watchmaker: it must be carefully cleaned and judiciously pilled.—Med. Actver.
He is liappy, whose circumstances suu his temper; but he is more excellent, who
can suit his temper to his circumstances.
Don't buy what you don't want, because it is cheap.

Hume.—David Hume observed, that all thb devout persons lie had ever met
with were melancholy. On this Bishop Home remarked, this might very pro¬
bably be; for, in the first place, it is most likely that he saw very few, his friends
and acquaintance being of another sort; and, secondly, the sight of him would
make a devout man look serious at any time.
It is the perfection of holiness to do what God loves, and love what God does.
The bate which we ail bear with the most Christian patience, is the hate of
those who envy us.
Assurance of hope is not to be obtained so much by self-examination as by active
piety.—Pres. Edwards.

The Appetite for Rum.—Dr. JHussey relates the following' anecdote in illustra¬
tion of the strong appetite which is created by a long and habitual use of ardent
spirits: "A few years ago, a tippler was put into an alms-house in a populous
town in Massachusetts. Within a few days he had devised various expedients
to procure rum, but failed. At length, however, he hit upon one which proved
successful. lie went into the wood-yard of the establishment, placed his hand
upon a block, and with an axe in the other, struck it off at a single blow.—
With the stump raised and streaming, be ran into the house, crying, ' Get some
rum, get some rum—my hand is off!' In the eonfusion of the moment, a bowl
of rum was brought, into which lie plunged the bleeding member •, iben, raising
the bowl to his mouth, drank freely, and exclaimed, ' Now I am satisfied.' "

Ardent Spirits are not necessary to support the -Laborer in hot Weather.—" The
experiment," says Dr. Mussey, " has been made a thousand times, and the result
is well known, viz. that more labor can be accomplished in a month, or a year,
under the influence of simple nourishing food and unstimulating drink, than
through the aid of ardent spirits. ' I visited,' says a gentleman, ' four or five
years since, in New-Jersey, an iron foundry belonging to Mr. Wood, of Phila¬
delphia ; I think there were thirty or forty men employed in the establishment,
and all they drank was pure spring water. I saw them often, while lading out
the hot metal and sweating at every pore, take a hiug, run to the spring, and
drink very freely of the water. I inquired if they did not feel any ill effects

to the men that we should not allow them grog: there was not a single objection
made to signing the shipping-papers. It is in the power of every ship-owner to
prevent the use of ardent spirits on board his vessels, by sending out r few bar¬
rels of molasses, and a few dozen bottles of the essence of spruce, for beer.'
" To the foregoing suggestion it may be proper to add, that, for laboring men
in hot weather, sweetened water, sometimes with the addition of ginger, is a
most salutary drink ; so also is a mixture of milk and water." *

round from the river, with some trouble ferried me over. X followed him to his

enough." "Well," said he, "1 have milk enough; no we are even: I have as
good right to give you milk, as you have to give me money."
One watch that goes wrong, may be the means of misleading a whole neigh¬
borhood ; and the same may he said of the example we individually set to those
around us.
Keal Christians sometimes settle down into a state of hopelessness: they look at
nothing but their sins, instead of looking to Christ, and making active efforts for
the good of others. Aetive piety is the best cure for religious despondency. To
do good is the surest way to get good. He that watereth, shall be watered also
himself.

In December, reckon and settle with all those with whom you have accounts
—pay your shop bill and your mechanics, if not promptly done at the time wben
your orders were executed, which is the best of all.
And now that the frost of winter has laid an embargo on your operations, and shut
you up in your dwelling, let your fireside be a paradise, and let the long evenings
be consumed in doing good to your fellow-men, in profitable conversation, or in the
pursuit of useful knowledge, especially of that knowledge which is the principal
thing, that knowledge which has reference not merely to time, but to eternity.
He that is- good at making excuses, is generally good for nothing else.
The year and all our opportunities for usefulness will sood end. Be up and doing

FARMER'S CALENDAR.
He that by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.
HINTS TO YOUNG FARMERS.
Never be above your calling, nor be afraid of the frock and the
apron.
Put off no business till to-morrow, which ought, and can be done,
to-day.
As soon as the Spring opens, and the frost is out of the ground,
put your fences in order.
Plant no more ground than you can well manure and cultivate t©
advantage.
Never hire a man to do a piece of work which you can do yourself,
Every day has its appropriate duties; attend to them in succession.
Keep no more stock than you can keep in order, and that of the
best kind.
Never contract a debt without a reasonable probability of paying
it at the time agreed.
Remember that economy and industry are the two great pillars of
the Farmer's prosperity.
Should you take any periodical Journal, pay for it in advance.
Never carry your notes in your pocket-book, as the desk or trunk
is a more appropriate place. Keep them on file, and in order, ready
to be found when wanted.
Keep a place for your tools, and your tools in their places.
Instead of spending a rainy day at the dram-shop, as many do, to
their ruin, repair whatever wants mending ; post your books.
Drive your business, and do not permit your business to drive you.
' Never trust your money in the hands of that man who will put his
o\vn to hazard.
When a debt becomes due, pay it at the time, whether your credb
tor wants it or not. Never ask him to " wait till next week," but pay
it. Never insult him by saying, "you do not want it." Punctuality-
is a key to every man's chest.
2D CHRISTIAN ALMANAC.
By constant temperance, nabitual, moderate exercise, and unal-
fected honesty, you will avoid the fees of the lawyer and the sheriff,
gain a good report, and probably add at least ten years to your life.
When a friend calls to see you, treat him with the utmost complai¬
sance ; but if important business call your attention, politely excuse
yourself, and he will excuse you.
Should you think of building a house, be not in a hurry, but first
have every material on the spot, and let your cellar be as large as the
frame.
Keep a memorandum-book; enter all notes, whether received or
given ; all monies received or paid out; all expenses, and all circum¬
stances of importance.
If your domestic animals are not clean, they will not be comforta¬
ble ; and if they are not comfortable, they will not thrive.
TREATING.
" Must Inot treat my friends when they call to see me ?"
"Treat" them! yes, to be sure; and treat them well. "Treat"
them with respect and hospitality ; and take care not to insult them,
especially by offering them strong drink. To do this, is as much as
to say. that you suspect they love it; that they drink it at home ; that
they cannot well do without it; that they called upon you with the
expectation of getting some, and would be angry if they went away
disappointed. Where are the ladies and gentlemen that would treat
their friends in this manner 1—Phil. and Inves.
FAMILY WORSHIP.
Anecdote of Baron d? Stael Holslein.—One morning, during his
visit to England, the Baron went very early to the house of Mr. * *
who had promised to aid him in the purchase of some horses, for his
experimental farm at Coppet. He was introduced, and was on the
point of entering on some details, highly interesting to two friends of
agriculture, when his host apologizing, requested permission to leave
him for one half hour only, and invited him to pass the time in turning
over some pamphlets and engravings which were lying on the table.
Possessing an extreme delicacy on every occasion in which he might
be the cause of the smallest inconvenience to others, M. de Stael ex¬
pressed his grief that he had come at so early an hour—and thus made
his friend explain himself. "You must know," said he, " that this is
our hour for family worship ; my family and servants" are assembled,
and are waiting for me. Excuse my leaving you; as soon as this
duty, which we never omit, is performed, I will return to you." " I
have a favor to ask," replied M. de Stael. " Should I be intruding,
if I requested permission to join your family, and engage with yon ia
this sacred duty?" The request, made with so much eagerness, was
granted with pleasure; and he witnessed the serious and edifying
manner in which all the assembly listened to the reading, and joined
in the prayers offered up by the master of the house. " How precious
to me," said M. de Stael, " were the delightful moments I passed in
the bosom of that happy family, where I had hoped for nothing but
advice in the purchase of horses.!"

EMINENT EARLY RISERS.
The Count de Buffon, the celebrated French naturalist, tells us that
he was indebted to the habit of early rising, for all his knowledge,
and the composition of all his works. In order to prevent his losing
the advantages of a single morning by indulging in sleep, his valel
de chambre had orders to call him every morning before six o'clock,
and to drag him out of bed by main force, if he manifested any re¬
luctance to rise. The valet's daily remuneration for this, was a crown,
which he forfeited if he did not compel the Count to get out of bed
before the clock struck six.
King Alfred divided the day into four parts, which he measured by
the burning of tapers, clocks not having been invented in his time.
One part he devoted to sleep; one to the cares of the government;
another to the cultivation of the fine arts j and the fourth to religion.
The celebrated Dr. Doddridge mentions, in his Family Expositor,
that it is to his habit of early rising, the world is indebted for nearly
the whole of his valuable works.
Sir Thomas Moore remarks, in his Preface to the Utopia, that he
completed the work by stealing time from his sleep and meals. He
iuade it his invariable practice to rise at four.
• The well-known Bishop Burnet was an habitual early riser. When
at college, his father aroused him to his studies, every morning, at
four o'clock; and he continued the practice during the remainder of
his life.
" I spent," says Dr.Paley, when giving an account of the early part
of his life at college, " the first two years of my undergraduateship
happily, but unprofitably. I was constantly in society, where we were
not immoral, but idle and expensive. At the commencement of the
third year, after having left the usual party at a late hour, I was
awakened at five in the morning by one of my companions, who stood
at my bed-side, and said, ' Paley, I have been thinking what a fool
j'ou are. /could do nothing, probably, if I were to try ; and I could
afford the indolent life you lead. You could do every thing, and can¬
not afford it. I have had no sleep during the whole night, on account
of these reflections, and am now come solemnly toiinform you, that
if you persist in your indolence, I must renounce your society.' I
was so struck (says the Doctor) with the visit and the visiter, that I lay
in bed great part of the day, and formed my plan. I ordered my
bed-maker to lay my fire every morning, in order that it might be
lighted by myself. I arose at five; read during the whole day ; took
supper at nine ; went to bed, and continued the practice up to this
hour."—The consequence, was, he became a great man.
Volumes might be filled with the names of early risers. Bishop
Jewel rose regularly at four; Doctor Franklin was an early riser;
Priestley was an early riser ; the great and learned lawyer, and pious
Christian, Sir Matthew Hale, studied sixteen hours every day, and
was an early riser; Dr. Parkhurst, the philologist, rose regularly at
-five in summer, and six in the winter; and in the latter season he
made his own fire. Among the ancients, Homer, Horace, and Virgil,
and many other poets, might also be mentioned, were we disposed to
swell our list, which is already, we think, sufficiently codious.
CHRISTIAN ALMANAC*
MISCELLANEOUS.
A man is always in a hurry to defend his weak side ; and it s, in
some degree, pleading guilty , to be over-hasty in making a defence.
Assistance rendered to the poor, which does not promote industry,
is actually a premium for idleness.
He that would thrive, must rise by five.
There was a time, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when rum and
brandy were sold by the ounce, by apothecaries, as a medicine ; and
a tea-spoonful was considered a dose, by all the regular physicians.
Those who reprove us, are more valuable friends than those who
flatter us. The man who would improve, must have either faithful
friends or severe enemies.
Experience, says Dr. Franklin, is a dear school; but fools will learn
in no other.
CAUTION IN VISITING SICK ROOMS.
Never venture into a sick room in a violent perspiration, for th^
moment the body becomes cold, it is in a state likely to receive the in¬
fection. Never visit a sick person with an empty stomach. Do not
stand directly between the bed of the diseased person and the fire,
as the heat of the fire will draw the infectious vapor in that direction,
and danger might arise from breathing it. If you are to remain with
the sick person, take plain, nourishing food, at regular intervals, but
Carefully avoid ardent spirits.
There is hardly any bodily blemish which a winning behavior will
not conceal, or make tolerable ; and there is no external grace which
ill-nature, or affectation, will not deform.
HOW TO GROW RICH.
Two tradesmen, in converse, were striving to learn
What means to make use of, great riches to earn ;
A friths! who sat near them, advis'd, with a smile,
" Lb* m half of your incomes, and live a great while."

A Tyrant.—It would be thought a hard government that should
tax its people one-tenth part of their time, to be employed in its
service; but idleness taxes many of us much more, if we reckon all
that is spent in absolute sloth, or doing of nothing, with that which is
spent in idle amusements, or employments that amount to nothing.
Sloth, by bringing on diseases, absolutely shortens life. Sloth, like
rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the key, often used, is
always bright.—Franklin.

PROGRESS OF THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.
The second report of the American Temperance Society contains many
animating tacts, illustrating the progress ol the Temperance cause in every
part of the United States.
In the village of East Machias, Me. there were in February, 1827, not
less than ten grog-shops, at one of which twelve hogsheads of rum were
annually drank. Now there is not a single licensed retailer in the town,
and ten drunkards have been wholly reclaimed.
In Belchertown, Mass. the quantity of ardent spirits consumed in 1824,
was 8056 gallons, and the cost of the same was 4883 dollars. In 1828, the'
quantity consumed was only 2099 gallons, and the cost 1440 dollars, ma¬
king a saving to the town of 3443 dollars; to say nothing of the time,
health and happiness rescued from waste and destruction. The annual
taxes of the town, for the year 182$, were only 3430 dollars.
Within ten miles of Belchertown there were formerly several distilleries
in operation six months of every year, consuming, on an average.. aCO
bushels of rye daily. In 1828, not one of them was in operation.
In Middlesex county. Conn a great change has taken place in public
opinion. The old fashion of'offering ardent spirits as an act of hospitality,
is almost universally abolished Fourteen retailers of spirituous liquors
have promised to sell no more in small quantities, and eleven habitual
drunkards have been hopefully reclaimed.
In North Stonington, Conn, there were, in 1828, eleven retailers of ar¬
dent spirits. In 1829, only three of them applied for the renewal of their
licenses, and so strong was the expression of public feeling, that they were
all denied by the civil authority.
In Plymouth, N. H. the coat of spirituous liquors sold in 1826 was®sti-
mated at 9 thousand dollars. In 1827, after the formation of a Temperance
Society, the value consumed fell to 3,000 dollars, and in 1828, to less than
600 dollars
In the village of Geneva, N Y. five merchants, who were formerly re¬
tailers of ardent spirits have abandoned the sale of the article.
In that part of the state of New York lying between Cayuga lake and
Genessee river, about one thousand persons came to the resolution, in the
year 1328, to abstain entirely from the use of ardent spirits, except as a me¬
dicine. In the same district, three distilleries have been stopped in their
operations in consequence of the principles of their proprietors ; and be¬
tween twenty and thirty merchants have ceased to buy or sell spiritous
liquors.
In Williamslown and Lee, Berkshire county, Mass. out of seventeen mer¬
chants and innkeepers, fifteen have abandonttd the sale of spiritous liquors ;
and in five other towns in the same county, all the merchants have given
up the business.
The Governor of Alabama gives it as his opinion, that the quantity of
ardent spirits consumed in that state in the year 1828, was one third less
than in the year preceding.
From the above and similar facts, the Directors of the American Tem¬
perance Society give it as their judgment, that, within a short period, the
consumption of spiritous liquors has been diminished one half iu New-
England, and one third throughout the rest of the land.
COMBUSTION OF DRUNKARDS.
The bodies of some drunkards have been so thoroughly steeped in
Spirit, as literally to take fire and consume to ashes. It is said, that
no case of this combustion has ever occurred, except among hard
drinkers, and it is altogether probable that, in every such case, an in¬
flammable air has exhaled from the lungs or skin, or both, and has
been kindled by the too near approach of a lighted taper, err some i£

nited substance. A French Chemist, it is said, after drinking a pint
of ether during the day, used to amuse himself in the evening, by
lighting up his breath, directed in a very small stream upon the flame
of a lamp. Alcohol, taken in large quantities, would probably, in some
constitutions at least, occasion a similar vapor to be thrown from the
lungs; and there is doubtless more danger than has been imagined, in
a deep drinker's bringing his mouth or nose close to a lighted taper at
evening. The wonder is, that instances of combustion of drunkards
should so rarely have occurred. Plouquet mentions twenty-eight
cases.—Dr. Mustsey-
. THE CRUEL PHYSICIAN.
I once knew a man, who had been for some time in the habit of in¬
temperate drinking, and who had, at times, strong remonstrances of
conscience. These admonitions, together with the motives and encou¬
ragements held up to him by his kind and good wife, induced him to
make a solemn vow, •' that, by the help of God, he would never again
drink any thing stronger than beer, unless prescribed for him as a me¬
dicine by a physician." He regarded the vow, became sober and ap¬
parently religious, and for several years sustained the character of a
devout man. At length he lost, by degrees, his religious sensibility,
grew dull and stupid, heedless alike of religious duty and of the daily
attentions to business necessary for the support of his family, and
eventually died besotted with rum. When warned of his danger, soon
after it was known that he had returned to his cups, he assigned as a
reason, the prescription of a physician, which was made on his applica¬
tion for relief from mild dyspepsia.—ib.
ARDENT SPIRIT DOES NOT PROMOTE HEALTH OR
STRENGTH.
If ardent spirits be necessary to health and activity, how did the
world get along without it for forty-eight hundred years ? How could
the Roman soldiery withstand the frightful onset of Hannibal, with
nothing to drink stronger than vinegar and water? Take a soldier of
the present day, clothe him with heavy Roman armor, and give him
the pilum and short sword, weapons which " conquered the world;"
and it will soon appear what blessings we have derived from alcohol.
The modern Achilles cripples under his load, unable to raise irom the
ground the instrument with which he is to meet his foe.—ib.
ARDENT SPIRIT NOT NECESSARY AS A MEDICINE.
I admit that ardent spirit is sometimes convenient, but I deny that
it is essential to the practice of physic or surgery. Do we wish to re¬
kindle the taper of life as it glimmers in a fainting fit? we have am¬
monia and the volatile oils, and, what is better than every thing else,
cold water, to be administered by affusion. Is it required to produce
a tonic effect in a case of long-standing debility? the tonic roots, and
barks, and woods, impart their invigorating properties to water or
acid. Are we called upon to relieve pain ? opium is altogether superior
to alcohol. Do we need a solvent for opium ? we have it in the acetous
acid. The black drop is one of the best solutions of opium ever invented.
" But what is to be done with the medicinal resins and aromatic oils,
must they not be dissolved in alcohol?" The medicinal resins do notcon-
stituteavery important class of remedies, but may be given in fine pow¬
der, rubbed with some inert friable substance, or dissolved in an essen

tial oil, or made into an emulsion. The ordinary mode of using them does
not carry them into the stomach in the state of solution, as they are in¬
stantly precipitated in a flocculent form, on being thrown into water. As
for the aromatic oils, they may be given in the form of liquid soap, or
emulsion rubbed with alkali, or sugar and water, and in this way they
exert their specific effects. *
Is the physician required to prescribe a restorative ? if quinine, and bark,
and bitters, and metallic tonics will not do, shall he prescribe alcohol ?
This is. never certain, and always unsafe, inasmuch as there is imminent
danger of a permanent relish being acquired for it; nor does it compare,
in its restorative powers; in cases where the complaint was not produced
or modified by the previous use of it, with thepure, fermented, and well-
preserved juices of the grape and the apple. The factitious wines exten¬
sively vended in ourown country, are poor restoratives j they contain a
large proportion of alcohol.
I maintain then, that, taking into view the danger of making tipplers by
giving ardent spirit to the sick, and considering that all its medicinal vir¬
tues arc found in other articles, mankind would not, on the whole, be losers,
if it should be banished, not only from the house of e.very class of the com¬
munity, but also from the shops of the apothecary.—Dr. Mussey.
SIPPING ARDENT SPIRIT BEGETS A FALSE RELIGIOUS
HOPE.
From what I have seen, says the Rev. Mr. Nettleton, I do believe that
no class of persons are more likely to be deceived with false hopes than
the intemperate. If, while under conviction, a person allows himself to
sip a little, or raises his sinking spirits in the least, he is sure to grieve
away the Spirit of God. ,
During the revival at S =—, two years ago, I witnessed an instance
which, if you please, I will relate. Mr. A wa%one of the most
respectable men in that village, about thirty years of age, and kept a large
boarding-house. His wife was under deep conviction, and soon was re¬
joicing in hope, and prayed with and for her husband. This was the means
of his conviction; though at the time it was not known. Report said that
he was confined to his bed; and-dangerously ill. Hints were privately cir¬
culating, that he was anxious for his soul, and was ashamed to have it
known. It was late in the evening when Brother G went to his
house, and found him in a bedroom, in a remote corner, in the greatest
agony. The next evening I called, and-found him still in the same dis¬
tress. His convictions appeared to be deep. But when I returned, I sug¬
gested to Brother G a suspicion of the smell of ardent spirits. I
then related a number of anecdotes of false conversions connected with
this suspicious scent. " Mr- A. is a very moral man," said he, " and far
from suspicion on that point." But for fear, he sent me back to give him
a solemn caution. I returned, and with much delicacy warned him not to
taste, lest He seemed startled at my suggestion, and assured me that
he was far from the habit. I requested his wife to watch him, and learned
from her, that, through his distress, his strength had greatly failed, and that
he had taken a very little only, to prevent hi? sinking entirely. I returned
and observed to Brother G——, that I feared Mr. A was a ruined man.
His concern continued for a few days, when he became exceedingly joyfuK
His conversion was considered wonderful. But my joy was cheeked ; I
could not forget the smell of ardent spirits. I called, ana found him much
elated with joy. But when I cautioned him, he seemed surprised, and some¬
what offended, and observed, '' I think I have been distressed enough to
experience religion." " Ah," said I, " now I doubt more than ever,
whether your heart has ever been changed. Do you think there is any
merit in the distress of an awakened sinner? Suppose you had bsen to
hell, and endured the torments of the damned ; what then ? It is not dis-
tiess, but love to God, and a change of heart, which alone can fit the sin
26 CHRISTIAN ALMANAC.
ner for heaven." After a little conversation, his heart rose in such oppo¬
sition, that he relinquished his hope; his distress returned in a moment;
and he cried out, " What shall I do?" His heart was evidently unrenew¬
ed, and still quarrelling with the justice of God. From some expressions,
I caught a glimpse of his heart, and that, if he should ever experience re¬
ligion0 it was his secret purpose never to make a public profession of it.
He was evidently unhumbled—like a bidlock unaccustomed to the yoke. I
nut into his hands " Edwards on the Justice of God in the Damnation of
dinners." Shortly he again found relief. He wished to profess religion
with others, but prudence led us to wait j and the result was, that, in
Erogress of time, he became a sot. I know not now of a more hopeless
eing on earth. He does no business; has drunk himself out of his pro¬
perty, and almost out of his reason ; and, as Brother G says, he has
become a brute.
I could fill sheets with the relation of facts of a similar character, all
which lead to the conclusion, that persons of intemperate habits, though
deeply convicted, are far more likely to rest in a false hope than others.
However distressed a person of this character may have been, or however
joyful in hope, I think we may set it down as a probable sign of a false con
version, if he allows himself to taste a single drop. If he does not give
evidence that he intends to abstain wholly and for ever, I feel decided that
he ought not to profess religion. If he cannot be willing to do this, he
can have no sufficient evidence of his own repentance or conversion, and
his hope is a spider's web.
THE WHITE MAN AND THE INDIAN.
It is said that an Indian and a white man, being at meeting together,
were both struck under conviction by the same sermon. The Indian was
shortly alter brought to rejoice in pardoning mercy. The white man was
for a long time under distress of mind, and at times almost ready to
despair; but at length he was also brought to a comfortable experience of
forgiving love. Some time after, meeting his red brother, he thus address¬
ed nim: " How is it that I should be so long under conviction, when you
found comfort so soon ?" " O brother," replied the Indian, " me tell
you. There come along a rich prince, he propose to give you a new coat:
you look at your coat and say, ' I don't know, my coat pretty good ; I
believe it will do a little longer.' He then offer me new coat. I look on
my old blanket; I say, this good for nothing; I fling it right away, and take
new coat. Just so, brother, you try to make your old righteousness do for
some time; yon loth to give it up; but I, poor Indian, had none: there¬
fore I glad at once to receive the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ."
r A good woman, in consequence of some severe affliction, wept. Her
child observing it, cried out, " Mother, what is the matter? is God dead ?"
The mother felt the force of the question, and her serenity of mind instantly
returned.
A WISE FOOL.
It used to ne considered an indispensable appendage to a great man's
establishment, to have in his service one of his unfortunate fellow-mortals,
from whom Providence had withheld the blessings of understanding. This
man was called the fool, and kept continually round his employer's person
for the purpose of amusing those greater fools who were capable of sporting
with his misfortunes. It happened that one thus employed, had very much
pleased his master, affording what he called sport for his company, and, as
a mark of his approbation, lie gave him a favorite walking-cane, with this
injunction: " Keep it till you meet a greater fool than yourself, then give
it to him." A very short time after, the rich man was taken dangerously
ill, and his physicians pronounced his life in imminent danger. The fool
was about the bed, and observed him in the greatest consternation; on
CHRISTIAN ALMANAC. 27
which he asked him why he appeared so frightened. " I am dying!" was
the answer. " Dying! what is that ?" said the fool. " Going from this
world to another—from this world to eternity!" " Oh, a journey," said
the fool. " Well, is every thing prepared?" " Np, nothing is prepared for
such an awful journey." Away ran the fool, and instantly returned with
the cane, and putting it into the hands of his dying master, said—" There,
take back the cane."
A NOBLE EXAMPLE.
Early in the year 1829, a merchant in Augusta, Geo. who had dealt to
a considerable extent in ardent spirits, came to the conclusion that,
considering the awful evils connected with the use of that article, he
was doing wrong in selling it. He determined to sell out the stock which
he had on hand, and to buy no more. On further reflection, he considered
that, if it was wrong to buy any more for sale, it was wrong to sell what he
had on hand, and that it was his duty to throw away all his liquors. He
accordingly tapped his hogsheads, and let their contents run to waste, to the
value of SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS! The rumor soon spread through
the city. The grocers, especially, made a gteat noise about the matter-
some could not believe the report—some said he must be a very weak man—
some that he was a fool—and some that he was certainly going crazy, and
deserved a strait jacket. Like a man of conscience and reflection, who
had opened his eyes and looked full in the face an alarming evil of the
age, and who had got ahead of the false standard of feeling which long
usage had established, he heeded not the abuse. To some of his friends,
who inquired what harm there was in vending ardent spirits, he replied,
that he considered selling ardent spirits for the purposes for which we
know it is used, like selling arsenic to a man who buys it expressly to de¬
stroy himself. To others, who asked why he did not sell his liquors and
give the avails to charitable purposes, his reply was, that it would be doing
evil that good might come—it would be injuring one to benefit another—it
would be like robbing one man of his property to make a present of it to
another.
The example of this gentleman will probably do more to aid the cause
of temperance, than six hundred dollars expended in any other way.
The celebrated Dr. Boerhaave, at his death, left a large volume carefully
sealed up, containing, as he said, the result of all his medical experience.
Without breaking the seals, his executors offered the work, with his other
effects, at auction, and it went off" at an enormous price. On opening it,
the purchaser was surprised to find every leaf blank except one, in the
middle, on which was written the following sentence :
Keep your head cool, your body open, ana your feet warm, and you wilt
have no need of a physician.
WHOLESOME ADVICE TO YQUNG MEN.
Begin life with the least show and the least expense possible; you may
at pleasure increase both, but you cannot easily diminish them. Do not
think your estate your own while any man can call upon you for money,
and you cannot pay. Be in no man's debt. Resolve not to be poor;
whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human hap¬
piness ; it destroys liberty, and makes some virtues extremely difficult,
HOW TO AVOID BAD DEBTS.
In Carver, Mass. M»\ E carries on a furnace on a large scale, em¬
ploys about thirty men, but furnishes no spirits. When interrogated by a
friend, why he did not, as formerly, sell spirituous liquors, he answered, " I
will give two reasons. First, within one mile of me, four men, in conse¬
quence of their intemperance, have left their wives. The second reason
is, that all my bad debts are rum debts. In looking over my books, I find

that, when I substract the rum bill from the account against poor debtors,
they owe me nothing.''
THE VOICE OF A FREE PEOPLE FOR THE SABBATH.
In December, 1828, a highly respectable committee, composed of gen¬
tlemen of different religious denominations in the city of New-York, sent
forth an invitation to their countrymen to join them in petitioning Con¬
gress for a repeal of the laws which required the transportation of the mail
and the opening of post-offices on Sunday; and before the fourth of March
next ensuing, Jour Hundred, and sixty-seven petitions had been forwarded,
containing the signatures of the most distinguished men in every part of
the country ; merchants, lawyers, judges, presidents of colleges, patriots
of the revolution, and the most intelligent of every profession and denomi¬
nation. The committee of the House of Representatives in their report
on the subject say, "It is believed that the history of legislation in this
country aftords no instance in which a stronger expression has been made,
if regard be had to the numbers, the wealth, or the intelligence of the peti¬
tioners." The voice they uttered, we trust, will continue to sound, until its
prayer is heard and answered.
The law requiring the transportation of the mail and the opening of
post-offices on Sunday, virtually excludes from the offices of post-master
and mail-carrier, that numerous body of our citizens who cannot conscien¬
tiously transact secular business on the Sabbath. And on the same princi¬
ple these citizens may be deprived of all places of power and trust under
the national government; for Congress may_abolish the Sabbath, in all
other branches of the government as well as in the post-office department.
The state legislatures also may order their public business to be done on
Sunday; and the city governments may do the same, and then religious
men will be shqt out from all public offices in the state and city. Nay,
the legislatures may order the public elections to be held on Sunday, and
then religious men will be deprived of the privilege of voting for their
rulers. Infidels alone will vote; infidels alone will be eligible to office; and
on the ruins of the Christian Sabbath will be erected, as in France, an
Infidel Despotism. The law requiring the transportation of the mail and
the opening of post-offices on the Sabbath, tends directly to this catastro¬
phe ; and he has studied history and human nature to little purpose, who
says, there is no danger.
" If the mail is not transported and the post-offices are not opened on
the Sabbath, the commerce of the country," says one; " will suffer serious
injury." Is this so ? In London, the first commercial city in the world,
the post-office is not opened, nor is any mail made up on the Sabbath.
Does the commerce of London suffer on this account ? Who ever heard
such a complaint ?
Who are the best judges of what will affect the commerce of the coun¬
try, and who will suffer most if commerce is injured? Our merchants,
doubtless. But it is our merchants who have every where been most for¬
ward in petitioning for the stopping of Sunday mails ; the merchants of
New-York began the work, and merchants have every where been its most
active supporters. It is not probable, then, that commerce will be very
seriously injured, or, if it is, there will certainly be no loss which the suf¬
ferers are not willing to bear. It is hard, if men may not be taxed for the
public benefit, when they themselves pray for it.
THE DIFFERENCE.
We would suggest a slight distinction between two things, easily con¬
founded where.neither of them is much relished. A national religion is
one thing—a religious nation is another. The former, in its ordinary ac¬
ceptation, we sincerely deprecate and detest; the latter, in regard to our
CHRISTIAN ALMANAC. 29
own country, is the object of our most fervent supplications. Nor have
we ever been able to see the fairness of imputing to those who are diligent¬
ly laboring to effect the one, the odium of secretly aiming to bring about
the other.
STRANGE ARGUMENT.
An aged man was boasting of the soundness of Universalism, in a mixed
company, adding, as experimental proof of the correctness of his doctrines,
" I have lived so many years, and have never seen any devil, or any hell."
A little grand-child standing near him, looked him earnestly in the face,
exclaiming very philosophically, " Grand papa, have you ever been dead
yet ?"
The Universalist, after death, may be able to judge from experience
more correctly concerning the truth of the doctrine of eternal retribution,
than he can in this world of probation and mercy.
WHEN IS A MAN RICH ENOUGH?
When a lad, an old gentleman took the trouble to teach me some little
knowledge of the World. With this view, I remember he one day asked
me, When is a man rich enough ? I replied, when he has a thousand
pounds. He said, No. Two thousand? No. Ten thousand? No.
Twenty thousand ? No. A hundred thousand? which I thought would
settle the business : but he still continued to say No. I gave it up, and
confessed I could not tell, but begged he would inform me. He gravely
said, when he has a little, more than he has.

ANECDOTE OF GEORGE III.
When king George III. 'was repairing his palace at Kew, one of the
workmen, who was a pious character, was particularly noticed by his
majesty, and he often held conversation with him of some length upon se¬
rious subjects. One Monday morning, the king went, as usual, to watch
the progress of the work, and not seeing this man in his customary place,
inquired the reason of his absence. He was answered at first evasively ;
at last, however, upon being more strictly interrogated, the workmen ac¬
knowledged, that, not having been able to complete a particular job on the
Saturday night, they had returned to finish it on the following^ morning.
This man alone had refused to comply, because he considered it a viola¬
tion of the Christian Sabbath ; and in consequence of what they called his
obstinacy, he had been dismissed. " Call him back immediately," exclaimed
the good king ; " the man who refused doing his ordinary work on the
LORD'S DAY, IS THE MAN FOR ME. Let him be sent for." The
man was accordingly replaced, and the king ever after showed him parti¬
cular favor.
AN APT ILLUSTRATION.
A person asking how it happened that many .beautiful ladies took up
with indifferent husbands, after many fine offers, was thus aptly answered
by a mountain maiden. A young friend of hers requested her to go into a
cane-brake and get him the handsomest reed. She must get it in once
going through, without turning. She went, and coming out, brought him
quite a mean reed. When he asked her if that was the handsomest she
saw? "Oh no," she replied, "I saw many finer as I went along; but I
kept on, in hopes of one much better, until I got nearly through, and then I
was obliged to take up with any one I could find—and a crooked stick at last.

TRUE RICHES.
A child counts himself rich when he hath a great many pins, and point's,
and cherry-stones ; for those suit his childish age and fancy. A worldly
man counts himself rich when he hath gold and silver in great store by
him, or lands and heritages, or bills and bonds. But a child of God counts
himself rich when he hath God for his portion, Christ for his Redeemer,
and the Holy Spirit for his guide, sanctifier, and comforter—which is as
much above a carnal man's estate in the world, as a carnal man's estate is
above a child's toys and trifles—yea, infinitely more.
SLEEPY HEARERS.
As Mr. Nicoll, of Exeter, was once preaching, he saw several of the alder¬
men asleep, and thereupon sat down. Upon his silence, and the noise in the
church, they awoke and stood up with the rest; upon which he arose and
said, " The Sermon is not done; but, now you are awake, I hope you will
hear itand then went on.
Dr. South, one of the chaplains of Charles the Second, preaching on a
certain day before the court, which was composed of the most profligate
and dissipated men in the nation, perceived in the middle of his discourse,
that the nobility were generally asleep. The doctor immediately stopped
short, and changing his tone of voice, called out to Lauderdale three
times. " My lord," said South, with great composure, " I am sorry to
interrupt your repose, but I must beg you will not snore so loud, lest you
awaken his majesty."
THE GOOD BARGAIN.
Jl Japanese Tale'.
The Prince Isoumou-Kami, a Japanese nobleman, had bought for one
hundred kobans (100 I. stg.) a sabre of great value. Dielighted with the
cheapness of his bargain, he ran to show it to his father, and told him the
price. " I cannot conceive," said the father, " where you picked up this
sabre, or out of what well you have drawn it." (An expression used in
Japan in reference to every thing that is sold for less than its value.) Isou-
mou acknowledged that it was dirt cheap, and seemed overjoyed with his
bargain. His father soon made him ashamed of his exultation. " Such a
bargain," said he, " proves that the seller is in distress, and that necessi¬
ty compels him to dispose of his sabre. Does it become the Prince of Ize,
with an income of thirty-six thousand kobans, thus to take advantage of
the misfortunes of another ?" These words were uttered in so austere a
tone, that the son, ashamed and confounded, went to seek the vender, and
gave him one hundred kobans over and above thp stipulated price.

ACTIVE PIP?TY, A REMEDY FOR DESPONDENCY.
At the commencement of a revival of religion in Middlebury College,
E— C— was led to doubt whether he was a Christian. He gave up his hope,
and for several months was in great agony of mind. Fie wasted away,
ahd became so emaciated, that he looked as if just recovered from a severe
sickness. During this time his appearance and expressions were indicative
of the keenest despair. " Look at me," he would say. " behold a monu¬
ment of God's wra A, left justly to mourn for my sins in this time of joy."
His friends auvised him to take a school during the winter vacation,
apprehending that unless his mind could be diverted from himself, it
would become impaired. He now looked upon himself as lost, but
resolved to do what he could to prevent othets from going down to hell. He
conversed with his scholars, and warned them of the coming wrath. God
was pleased to bless his efforts to the awakening of some of his pupils. A
revival of religion soon commenced. As it, advanced, he looked up to
God with confidence; and God raised upon him the light of his countenance
and filled his soul with joy. After this he was exceedingly afraid of sin.

; GOOD BARGAINS.
Have I not a right to make as good a bargain as I can ? No. No man
has a right to do any thing which causes needless suffering in his fellow-
men. Experience, in Great Britain, and in this country, proves that the price
of labor may. by competition, be reduced so low, that it will not supply the
diligent and. hard-working laborer with the necessaries of life. A benevo¬
lent gentleman in Philadelphia, who has taken much pains to elucidate the
condition of the seamstresses of that city, says that the hardest working
among them only earn $58 a year, out of which they pay, for rent and iucH
$32. The balance, $16, is all that they have for the purchase of food and
clothing, for themselves and children, for one year. It is so also in cui-
other large cities :> and what is the consequence ? These forlorn beings
become at onee the victims and the abettors of a vice which annually
ruins thousands of our youth.—The licentiousness of the land has its
principal spring in avarice. The sixpence which is saved by stinting a
young woman's wages, is frequently tne price of a young man's soul.
A DREADFUL WORM.
' From a Missouri Paper.
Who has not heard of the rattlesnake or copperhead ? an unexpected
sight of either of these reptiles will make even the lords of the creation
recoil. But there is a species of worm found in various parts of this state,
which conveys a poison, of a nature so deadly, that, when compared with
it, even the venom of the rattlesnake is harmless. To guard our readers
against this foe to human kind, is the object of the present communication.
This worm varies much in size. It is frequently an inch through ; but
as it is rarely seen, except when coiled, its length can hardly.be conjectur¬
ed. It is of a dead lead colour, and generally lives1 near a spring, or small
stream of water, and bites the unfortunate people who are in the habit
of going there to drink. The brute creation it never molests. They
avoid it with the same instinct that teaches the animals of Peru to shun
the deadly Cova. Several of these reptiles have long infested our settle¬
ment, to the misery and destruction of many of our citizens. I have
therefore had frequent opportunities of being the melancholy spectator of
the effects produced by the subtle poison which this worm infuses. The
symptoms of its bite are terrible. The eyes of the patient becOme red
and fiery, his tongue swells to an immoderate size and obstructs his ut¬
terance, and delirium of the most horrid character quickly follows.
Sometimes, in his madness, he attempts the destruction of his dearest
friends. If the sufferer has a family, his weeping wife and helpless in¬
fants are not unfrequently the objects of his frantic fury. In a word, he
exhibits, to the life, all the detestable passions that rankle in the bosom of a
savage ; and such is the spell in which his senses are bound, that no sooner
is the unhappy patient recovered from the paroxysm of insanity, occasioned
by one bite, than he seeks out his destroyer, for the sole purpose of being
bitten again. I have seen a good old_ father, his locks as white as snow,
his step slow and trembling, beg in vain of his only son to quit the lurking-
place of the worm. My heart bled when he turned away, for I knew the
hope fondly cherished, that his son would be to him the staff of his declin¬
ing years, had supported him through many a sorrow. Youths of Missou¬
ri 1 would you know the name of this reptile—it is called the worm of the
still.
INTEGRITY.
Integrity is a great and commendable virtue. A man of .integrity is a
true man, a bold man, and a steady man; he is to be trusted and relied
32 CHRISTIAN ALMANAC^
upon. No bribes can corrupt him, no fear daunt him ; his word is-slow
in coming, but sure. He shines brightest in the fire, and his friend hears
of him most, when he most needs him. His courage grows with danger,
and conquers opposition by constancy. As he cannot be flattered or fright¬
ed into that he dislikes, so he hates flattery and temporising in others. He
runs with truth, and not with the times—with right, and not with might.
SELF-EXAMINATION.
Many professors sit down and dole away hours in what they call " self-
examination,"—which is nothing more than trying to find some hope that
they are safe ;—instead of looking for evidence that they love Christ in a
holy devoted life of activity in his service.
If any person wishes to know whether he is a Christian, let him inquire
what he is doing for the Lord's cause ; and if he finds a soul full of love
to God and his cause, a willingness, yea, delight to do his will, a spirit to
eonsecrate all his property, time, talents, and influence to his service, then
let him hope, yea, rejoice in the Lordalway, and again I say rejoice. But
if he find no evidence of the kind and character above named, let him con¬
clude it is best to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that
without delay, before it be for ever too late.
MATRIMONY.
A man and his wife were, on a certain occasion, enlisted in a dispute,
which of them had committed the fault in some late occurrence ; at length
the husband, perceiving that it might amount to something unpleasant,
kindly and sweetly remarked : "Well, my dear, I had as lief it would be
I as you that committed the fault., for we have but one interest, and but
one character." "Yes, my dear," replied the wife, " and 1 would as lief
it would be myself as you." Of course the quarrel was healed in a mo¬
ment.
ON SPENDING TIME.
The celebrated Lord Coke wrote the subjoined distich, which he religi¬
ously observed, in the distribution of time:
Six hours to sleep—to law's grave study six,
Four spend in prayer—the rest to nature fix.
But Sir William Jones, a wiser economist of the fleeting hours of life,
amended the sentiment in the following lines:
Seven hours to law—to soothing slumber seven,
Ten to the world allot—and all to heaven.
HOW TO DESTROY A FALLEN BROTHER.
Look shy at him ; speak harshly and unkindly; accuse, blame, crimi¬
nate, and threaten. Speak ill of him in his absence. Lose sight of all his
excellencies, and magnify his faults.
HOW TO RESTORE A~FALLEN BROTHER.
Thou art in the boat. He has fallen overboard into the water, therefore
don't push him with the oar, for he will only go farther from thee, or sink,
to rise no more; rather sail round him, enclose him in the Gospel net, or
take him up in thy hands, and lift him into the boat, and speak kindly and
comfortably to him, and remember that, "by doing so, thou shalt " hide a
multitude of sins."
CHRISTIAN CONTROVERSY.
" If Christians must contend," says Jeremy Taylor, " let it be like the
olive and the vine, which shall bear most and best fruit; not like the aspen
and the elm, which shall make most noise in the wind. >
CHRISTIAN ALMANAC.

Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of
continual reflection on it; and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of
it at all, that we reduce it to nothingness, and extend a mere nothing to
eternity ; and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us, that all the force
of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.

* The income of the American Societies is that of the year 1828—9, except in the cases
of the American Board and the American Baptist Board of Foreign Missions, in both of
which it is that of the year 1827—8.
The income of the British Societies is that of the year 1827-8, except in the cases of the
I rish Education and Scottish Missionary Societies, m both of which it is that of the year
1826-7. In the case of the United Brethren, the income is that of the year 1826-
Remark. From the above table, it appears that the income of all the
principal Religious Charitable Societies, in Protestant countries, is a little
more than $2,500,000, and that about one half of this sum is given to Mis¬
sionary Societies, and'one fifth part to Bible Societies.
Man is, to himself the most astonishing object in nature, for he cannot
conceive what body is, still less what spirit is, and less than all, how a
body and a spirit can be united. That is the climax of his difficulties, and
yet it is his proper being.
Prefer the aged, the virtuous? and the knowing : and choose those that
excel, for your company and friendship ; but despise not others.—Penn.
In the towns and countries I have seen, says Goldsmith, I never saw a
city or village yet, where miseries were not in proportion to the number of
its ale-houses. In Rotterdam you may go through eight or ten streets,
without finding a public-house. In Antwerp, almost every second house
seems an ale-house. In the one city, all wears the appearance of hap¬
piness and warm affluence ; in the other, the young fellows walk about
the street in shabby finery, their fathers sit at the door darning or knitting
stockings, while their ports are filled with dunghills.
Idleness is the badge of gentry, the bane of body and mind, the nurse
of naughtiness, the step-mother of discipline, the chief author of all mis-
ehief, one of the seven deadly sins, the cushion upon which the devil
chiefly repose^, and a great cause not only of melancholy, but of many
34 CHRISTIAN ALMANAC.
other diseases ; for the mind is naturally active ; and if U be not occupied
about some honest business, it rushes into mischief, or sinks into melan¬
choly.—Burton. ,
What you leave at your death, let it be without controversyelse the
lawyers will be your heirs.
More hearts pine away in secret anguish, for unkindness from those
who should be their comforters, than for any other calamity in life.
Avoid the habit of speaking humbly of yourself as a snare of the devil.
Can you submit, not to speak of yourself at all ? That is the question.
THE INDIAN AND WHITE MAN.
When Gen. Lincoln went to make peace with the Creek Indians, one of
the Chiefs asked him to sit down oh a log. He did so. The chief then
asked him to move, and in a few moments to move farther ; the request
was repeated till the General got to the end of the log ; but the Chief still
said, " Move farther to which the General replied, " I can move no far¬
ther." " Just so it is with us," said the Chief; " you have moved us back
to the water, and then ask us to move farther."
LEDYARD'S CHARACTER OF WOMEN.
" I have always remarked," says Ledyard, the celebrated American
traveller, "that women, in all countries, are civil and obliging, tender and
humane. To a woman, whether civilized or savage, I never addressed my¬
self in the language of decency and friendship, without receiving a decent
and friendly answer. With man it has often been otherwise. In wander¬
ing over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark, through honest Swe¬
den, and frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, unprincipled Russia,
and the wide spread regions of the wandering Tartar; if hungry, dry,
cold, wet or sick, the women have ever been friendly to me, and uniformly
so. And to add to this virtue, so worthy the appellation of benevolence,
their actions have been performed in so free and kind a manner, that if I
was dry, I drank the sweetest draughts, and if hungry, I ate the coarsest
morsel with a double relish."
FRANKLIN'S MODE OF LENDING MONEY.
I send you herewith a bill for ten Louis d'ors. I do not pretend to give
such a sum, I only lend it to you. When you shall return to your coun-
try, you cannot fail of getting into some business, that will, in time, enable
you to pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another hon¬
est man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him,
enjoining it upon him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he
shall be able, and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hope it
may thus go through many hands before it meets with a knave to^ stop its
progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a good deal with a little mo¬
ney? I am not rich enough to afford much in good works, and so am obli¬
ged to be cunning, and make the most of a little.
Navy and Army of the U. States—The Navy of the U- States consists
of 7 ships of the line, 7 frigates of the first class, 3 of the second class, 15
sloops of war, and several smaller vessels, besides 5 ships of the line and
C frigates on the stock.
The Army of theU. States, in November 1828, consisted of 5,529 men,
of whom about two fifths were attached to the artillery, and three fifths to
the infantry.
Revenue and Expenditure of U. S.—The actual receipts into the Trea¬
sury of the U- S- from all sources, during the year 1827, were $>22,966,363,
of which sum the customs yielded $19,712,2S3, and the public lands $1,-
495,845. The expenditures amounted to $22,656,764, ot wfejpU there were

About 17,584 horses are employed, and 2,789 carriages. ,
Mint of the U. S.—The mint of the U. S. has been in operation 35
years. The whole coinage executed in that time amounts to $32,207,000,
viz. in the first twenty years, 12,831,000; in the next ten years, 8,905,000 ;
and in the last 5 years $10,471,000. In the single year 1827, the amount
was $3,022,675.
Public Debt.—The public debt of the U. States, on the 1st January,
1829, was $58,362,135.
Thou art no lingerer in monarch's hall;
A joy thou art, and a wealth to all;
A bearer of hope unto land and sea;
Sunbeam! what gift has the world like thoc 7
Thou art walking the billows, and Ocean smiles;
Thou hast touch'd wjpi glory his thousand isles!
Thou hast lit up the Slips and the feathery foam.
And gladdeu'd the sailor, like words from home.
To the solemn depths of the forest shades.
Thou art streaming on through their green arcades.
And the quivering leavos that have caught thy glow
Like fire-flies glance to the pools below.
I Iook'd on the mountains—a vapour lay.
Folding their heights in its dark array :
Thou brokest forth—and the mist became
A crown and a mantle of living flame.
I Iook'd on the peasant's lowly cot—
Something of sadness had wrapt the spot
But a gleam of thee on its casement fell.
And it laugh'd into boauty at that bright spell.
Sunbeam of summer ! oh ! what is like thee ;
Hone of the wilderness, joy of the sea!
THE SUN BEAM.
