The agent is a very polite

He very

•The young man' paid a half tloliar for the brandy, put the bottle in his pocket and walked out cursing in his heart the officious kindness of the agent. The thing was done up so smoothly and so kindly that the thirsty young man could not say a word but his face looked unutterable things.'

Therefore he •dismissed his white domestic, and went to an Intelligence Office to obtain a black one. They gave him a groom as dark as Erebus.

Hull's Colony, loeattnl in Potter Co Pa Great preparations are malting here by Ole Bu!i personally and his followers, to celebrate ihe coming Fourth of July on a grand scale. On that occasion ho expects a large number of his mn!oat brethren to assist in tha ceremony. He is fitting up a grand concert room, one hundrMi feet in length and thirty feet wiJe, which will be one of the upper rooms in his own dwelling.

His Colony seems to be progressing very rapidly for a new country. Oh Bull is certainly a verv extraordinary num. You can see him up daylight iu the morning mounted on his famous Norwegian horse, riding around exiwninittg his land* After his breakfas.1 you will find him Hoisting the mechanics at their labor, raiting buildings, &c. After dinner h« may be found working the roads with quite a number of hands.

The schools of the Colony aro in a flouring condition under the care and instruction cf a number of teachers from England. These schools he visits daily.

When ho executes a deed for any of his boun'.ryineti he inserts a clauve depriving ihem of lite privilege of selling, except as medicine. J. II \V.

How can any sincere Christian doubt lhat where he is, there Providence lias placed him? In deciding where we will go and what wo will do, we decide as if human prudence were everything but. having so aeted. we cannot but know thai Providence, at the least, pcrmilted our determination and then, and thus, it appears impossible lor any true Christian to be out ol his place.

The judicial blindness of pride is seen in this, that those are the proudest who have nothing to be proud of. Such a pride is the manifestation of essential sell-love—of that love of self which exists where sell' is most vile and unlovely.

\Yhat a beautiful virtue is benevolence! It is a precious tie existing between man and man, as children of one common Father —a lie wholly unaffected by difference of' age, station, kindred, or country, and over which the artificial distinctions of a vain world have little power.
