to read over this mammoth paper every

Snould not every one who now calls upon the name of the true God, be engaged to rebuild his kingdom in this de lation? But how was all this to be af fected ? for they had not only to establish

a colony in a wild and distant country,

but they had to combat the prejudices ol their countrymen, tenfold more difficult because they existed around our firesides: ten-fold more difficult to corquc than a common enemy, because the conquest must be achieved by gentle means, by untiring exertion?, and kindly endeavours to convince and persuade. This great object, I sincerely believe, is well nigh eff cted. It must be brough about by a simultaneous movement of all those great engines which control the

moral influences in this country. 1 le pulpit, that great lever of the nvral world, must be used as heretofore. The public press must be resorted to; for letters, in this day of intelligence, soften asperities, conquer the prejudices, and assist in forming the opinions ol all classes in the community. Tne masonic lodges in every part of the couutr), must be applied to, for assistance. Their existence is permanent, and what they may be brought to do, will not be a mere momentary act of charily, bu their liberality will increase, as the dic tates of their understanding shall become more and more convinced of the importance of tho undertaking; and when once the question of utility is full) established, no pains will be spared in using the true means to reach such desirable ends. The 6tale legislatures will from these numerous sources, catch the song of benevolence and christian enterprise, and extend it to the hall of congress.

A capital of more than 250,000 is supposed to be invested in the seven morning newspapers which are now published in the metropolis. Of the evening papers the highest in circulation is the Globe, which is estimated to be worth about 50.000. The Courier has more advertisements, and is rated as high as 80 to 90,000.

of the murder went for payment it was

refused on the ground that the murder

was not of his reporting. Tire poor fellow insisted, observing, that the wording, in leed, of the account was not exactly the same, but that the murder must have been his own, because no other person (or at least no other reporter) had been aware of the transaction. Thc two re

porters were then brought face to face. The plagarist contended for thc t orrecf-

ness of his statement, and the inventor

declared that the othei report must have been plundered from his copy. The plagarist still contended for the correct

anecdote of two worthy competitors of

In a few minutes the murder on paper was committed, the manifold copies were made, and the reporter's There are tricks in all trades.

Tiie D a tor wished me lo visit ihe farm, which 1 did, and another at a short distance. 1 found that the usual modeof watering cattle, when there was nu brook or i tinning water, was from a pit of stagnant rain, or soring water, to which -the access was by means ol a hi oping path on one side only.

Thc disgust which such water must excite in animals accustomed to drink from brooks, is gradually overcome in a great measure, and they some limes drink it without appearing to suffer, but the influence it has upon the animals health is strikingly shown on this farm.

Peter the Third. The pride, iniquity,

and cruelty of the Komi-di clergy, are well known to have proceeded tu their greatest height in tho Spanish dominions. M. IV) ton relates an anecdote no less remarkable as a proof of this assertion, than the curious sentence of an ingeni

ous monarch upon it. "In the days of

Peter the third of Castile, a canon ol tnt cathedral of Seville, atlected in his dress, and particularly in his shoes, could not find a workman to his liking. An unfortunate shoemaker, to whom he applied after quitting many others, having bro'l him a pair of shoes not made to please nis taste, the canon became fuiious, and

THE SIAMESE YOUTHS OUTDONE. It is truly an age of coincidr-nccs and wonders! The fame of the Siamese youths is eclipsed by another prodigy. The London Exr.mtncr of Aug, 2, contains a description, accompanied with a wood engraving, of a female infant, sta ted to bo now living in the town of Saa sari, in Sardinia, of the age 5 months, having two heads and four arms, or the upper part of two well formed bodies united at the bieast; the rest of tho body with the legs are of ordinary form and nronortions. The child is thin but

in all respects well. One head sleeps while the other is awake; one is nourished by the mother and the other by a nurse, and they are nursed alternately. One head sometimes cries while the other is quiet. The left head is somewhat larger than thc other.
