his mind from the perplexity oi constantly contriving wavs and means to raise funds to keep his business goingfree him from the anxiety and embarrassment Which attend laborious and lardy collections ; & you then give him some chance to think and to use the pen instead of the scissors or the latter with due deliberation. No one can write for a paper while his hands is employed in writing bills St his brains in contriving what to do if they are not paid. The reader's interest then is obvious ; by paying the editor he becomes entitled to so much of his mind, as must otherwise be applied elsewhere. $T7 Though writing bills and duns are great interruptions to editorial business the. writing of RECEIPTS is a very different tiling The pen runs so glibly over the paper in such cases, and the mind is so agreeably stimulated thereby, that it is rather refreshing than fatiguing

With all this injustice he is never in good ease but like those among men w " live by sharping and robbing, he is generally very poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank coward the little king bird, not biger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him ut f the district.

For in truth, the turkey is in comparison, a more respectable bird, and itnal a true original native of merica. EaglOl have been found in all countries, but the turkey was peculiar to ours the first of these species seen in Europe feting brought to France by the Jesuits f om ' anada, and served up at the wedding table of Charles the IX He is betides (though a little vain and silly 'tis true, but not the worse emblem for that) a bird of courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British guards Wfto should presume to invade his farm With a red coat on."

T From the Baltimore Telegrafih, Oct. IV L AWFUL INTEREST. A volume has been recently published on the Hevelations of St. John, in which the Rev. Writer (J. George S hmu ;.cr, pastor of the Evangelic Lutherian r.Mirrh Yorktown, Pcnn has attempt
ed to show that the great body of the predictions has already been accomplishedHe has, with much learning and sagacity, explained the meanin&of those terrible visions that haunted Ae repose of the disciple while he resfded in the Island of Patmos. Whether this explanation is satisfactory we will not pretend to sav. According to the opinion entertained by this writer, we are verv near the winding up ot this great drama verv near the consummation of all things very near the Millennium, and, of course, the day of judgment. Another volume on this awfully interesting subject, and from the same hand is now preparing for the press, the publicaton of which will depend on the success of the former one. We hope the Rev. gentleman will continue his investigation of the subject it appeals, and with thrilling interest, to every member of the human race, whether slave or freeman monaach or subject That some great purpose is designed bv Uevine Providence in those trcrrfeiv dos scenes bv which the world has bei afnicted, it is impossible to doubt ; although this object is now hidden in clouds and in darkness yet that when accomplished, it will be revealed, and with the brilliancy of sun beams, is ! equally apparent.
