Peter, niy son, you are going into the terviceofa noble prifiee; as much as a mother can command her child, do I command you three tMngs, which, if you do,y;rest assured they will enable yon to pasa through this present life with honour. The first is, that vou love and serve God, without offending him in any. way, if it be possible to you.- For it is he who gave us life, it is he who will save ns, and without him and his grace, we should not have power to,, perform . a ingle good work in this world. ,.: , Recom mend yourself to him every morning and evening, and he will give you aid. The second is, that you be mild and courteous to all gentlemen, casting away pride. Be hum ble to every body. Be not a slanderer or a liar. Keep ' yourself temperate in regard to eating and unnkine. Avoid envy it is a jnean vice. Be neither a flatterer nor a tale bearer, for people of this description lo not usually . attain to any high degree ot excel lence. Be. loyal in word and deed. Keep your promises. Succour poor widows and orphans, and God will reward you. The third is, that you be bountiful of the goods that God shall give you, to the poor and nee dy ;:for, to give for his honour's sake, never made any man poor ; and believe me, my child, the alms that you shall dispense, will greatly profit both your body and soul. This: is all that I have, to charge you with. I believe that your father and I shall not live much longer ; but God grant that whilst we do continue in life we may , receive a good account of you. ST. -PETERS. . A work entitled Scenes and impressions in Egypt - . . . , , ' - tsi V l. and Italy, has appeared by the author of Sketches T' f 1 T - in India, and recollections of the Peninsula. The follow ing extract respecting a visit to St. Peter's at Rome, struck us : . , ; i " St. Peter's, however, must be visited and revisited alone. I nare been in it at morning, noon, and as the shades of evening dimmed without obscuring, every object. T(ie confessional of 8U Peter, with the lamps which burn around it, placed as it is, in the centre of the crossing-naves of this mighty temple, belongs in its aspect, so entirely to all that is grand and; solemn in the general and most , majestic character of the idolatries of all ages and nations, that could you place here the Assyrian of Egyptian, Greek and Roman of ancient times, the - Parsee and the Brahmin or this, would fall down and - wor ship ; and you feel as you offer thanks 'for instruction in that revealed word which gives a spiritual freedom to your thought, which permits you, in towns, or deserts, in tumul tuous occupation or the stillness of the nighU to erect an altar in your mind, - and raise a temple " not made with hands" "bove it; a gratitude which is, perhaps, the sweetest and most satisfying feeling our spiritual na ture is capable of indulging. . We should all of us have been idolaters, but for that light I wnicu -no man cuuiu now nave uie menuu i strength to Hdicule, had it never shone to I givehim an illumination of mind, for which, in the fulness of his pride, he is not - willing I i -isi . . ai to confess himself, as he is under a vast and ('increasing weight of obligation." SOMNOLENCY. ; Dean Swift preached -a sermon on the text from Acts, And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being I fallen into a deep sleep ; and as Paul was I long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and 'fell down from the third loft and r was taken up dead.'' He jvas, however, miracu lously .restored to lde by Paul,' The Dean commences thus: i ili ? ' 1 have chosen these words ' with desisrn. if possible, to. disturb some rpar$ in this au- dience of half an hours sleep, for the ? cpn- venience and exercise whereof,' this : place,1 at this season of the day, is very much cele bratedj i"; :r ' " '.' There is indeed, one moral disadvantage to which all breaching is subject'; that those who, by the wickedness of their lives, stand in the greatest need, have usually the small eat share for either ) theyart absent upon Uie account of idleness,or spleenr or hatred to religion, or'in ordlf to doze away the in-1 temperance of the week; or, if lhey do come, they . are sure tii- employ their minds rather any tuner way, man regaruing or at.ienuing -. -111 ' M . . . ....

'; ON DESPATCHJ 2 v; i-E Aflected despatch is one of the most dan gerous things to business that can be: it is ike that which the; physicians call brediffeS- tioh,' or, hasty digestion; which is sure to fill uie uuuy luit oi cruuues, anu secret seeqs of diseases ; therefore mSsbitifo hot desfpatch oy tne time ot sitting, but by the advance .ii it-l.-.:.."" ..I . f. I tucu ui mo UU9IUCB9 , anu as, in races, it ss i not Uhe large stride or hteh lift that ! makes the speed; so, in business, the keeping close to tne matter, and not talking of it too matfh at once, procureth despatch. It is the care of some, only to come off speedily lor the time, or to contrive some fatse, periods bf business, because they may seem men of despatch ; but it is one thing to abreviate by contracting, another by cuttiug off; and ousiness , so nanuiea at several sittings, or meetings, goeth. commonly backward anu forward in an unsteady manner. I knewf;k wise man that had it for a bv-word, . wiiea he saw men hasten to a conclusion! ' Stay a little, that we may mako an end of the rng- ter." ' K'-l-.T; j,: r . - On the other sidei tru6 despatch is a rii thing; for time is the'measure of business, a money is of wares; and business is bought at a dear hand where there is small despatch. The Spartans and Spaniards, hafe been noted to be of small despatch: "Mi venga la mirte de Spagna." Let my death " come from Spain,' for then it will be sure to be long iri coming. -nacon. HINTS ON EDUCATION. i Elder children are sometimes inclined to tease, and domineer over the younger; though it is commonly those who have themselves been treated with tyranny ; that are most diS- posed,' in their turn become to tyrants.

LOSS OF THE; STEAM BOAT BELLE OF MISSOURI. ' :i i Awvwx, Exnosioir or 1600 keos or Powdib ! ! : 'Again we have to record the loss of anoth er fine steamer ; and when we consider the circumstances under which she was destroy ed, it appears almost miraculous that a great number of lives were not lost. As usual no one is to blame ; and in the place of censur ing the captain . or'the officers,.' whose vigi lance should have prevented the sad accident, a vote of thanks must be passed by the pas sengers, congratulating the Captain, because his boat was not destroyed before, ; and, for the same cause, our, city, authorities should present him with a sword. . The following particulars are furnished by the pilot of the Steamer Platte, who reached Randolph on the 7th instant with .the news. ' f The Belle of Missouri took fire about 80 miles below St. Louis. vShe was full of pas sengers at the time, and the utmost alarm and consternation prevailed. Their terror was in no wav diminished when it was ascer tained that there were upwards of sixteen hundred kegs of powder on board ! The flames were spreading in every direction, and every moment was pregnant with the most imminent danger. The Captain did the only thin? he could have done. He ran his boat ashore. V ' The passengers.' officers, and crew left with the utmost precipitation, glad to leave behind only their property to the . flames. One individual was rash enough to venture :on board in the hopes of saving his baggage. He had no sooner reached the ill-staired steamer when the terrific explosion took place, and doubtless he perished among the fragments which! were scattered in every di- ection. iW O.
