at he came into the; world in a time ofpro-
Jound and almost universal peace and his
ibirth' was, first announced, by declarations of

meace anu gooa win, to siiepnerus, men gen
rerally speaking, of a most quiet and inoffen

jof his childhood were passed in a meek and

&zme peaceable submwsion to all his other

the humblest tempers. . The first miracle he
worked, was with a design to promote irood

joyment of life. Yet, benevolent as the 'de.
gnof these and all his other actions was.'
Iw endeavoured to do them all in such a man

give no onence ui any one ; to excite no en

at the same time, to struggle with the preiu-

that you shoald make others so. Let, then.
your thankfulness be expressed in that best
and most iorcible of all langroaces, better as
St. Paul says; than the tongue of men and
angels. Charity 1 Let it prompt you to every
act of kindness and humanity towards, your

gratitude to his heavenly benefactor, ifut
then your abilities upon the stretch, to do
all the good you can to all men.
But, in a more especial manner, since I
it was one of the chief ends of Christ's mis-1
sion to bring peace upon earth, let it be your
great Ambition to co-operate with him, as far
as you are abje in this great design ; let it be
your constant study and delight to tread (Jo
the steps of your blessed master, and to con

JHE INSOLVENT. .
"I have a matter to mention to yon in con
fidence," said young Mr. Grist to his neigh- j
our jreter rnncsi one inorniuz iw bb i
I have got together a very handsome proper-1
ty, two -farms, three or four houses, and with
all enough to support me during the remain-
der of my days in peace aud plenty.
Itgives me great pleasure to learn, said
the. old msn, thal my young friend has been
so fdtlunaie, as in a few years to realize what
I! have been aiming at lor forty, and have
hardiy.gaTned an independence and all by I
honest thrift doubtlesss.
Honest, aye, you know I always sustain-
ed a clear reputation ; but there is one grand
point to gain yet; a mushing stroke to put to
the business, aud i must have your assis
tance."
'At your service," said Mr. Prince, "what
shall. I do for you ? V
My debts my debts, Peter, they are in
the way I must apply the brush to them, or
1 shall never be worth a groat. The .. Insol
vent Act you know will fix this matterand,
for the present, I wish you to take a convey
ace of all my property, while 1 slip through
the crucible. : v
Mr. Prince was a purely honest man, of
the old school, but he had lived too long in
the modern world to fall into hysterics, at the
bare mention of such a proposal. He neith
er started, nor turned pale, nor pricked' up
his ears. But he modestly told Mr. Urist,
that he was sorry to hear such a proposittoo
from him ; and suggested in the most polite
terms his doubts as to the entire correctness
of such a course as he had-mentionedi. , .;
0BdCGristAhowever,i had been taught ,inf
a far less conscientious school. What the
last generation would have called swindling
or theft, or dowuright roguery he had
learned to distinguish by the less grating ap-

Acting on this theory hfmself; having long

but of men who-havtiiff thusacquited their
fortunes lived iu the world - honoured, and
courted ; it was scaroely to be wondered at
that he should imoortune Mr. Prince to as
sist him for even these fashiduable rogues

And what then," asked Mr. Prince,"wtU

Mercy 1" replied Grist, mther astonish-1
ed at the sinsrular turn the conversation .was I

mercy like charity, ought to beginat home,
and the step l am about! takinsr is absolutely
necessary to preserve my property ; I must
take care of "myself first therefore."

rather out of humor that hU neighbor should
be so scrupulous, but remember, if you
decline the honor, I can easily find a friend
who will noU!
They parted, and Mr. . Prince, after erivin?
the case a thorousrh consideration, took ud
his determination., The next morning his
friend called on him again, and found him
wining to nnaertaKe the trust ; tire, leeus
were regularly made out and acknowledged
and Mr. Prince.became thele?al owner
all Grist's property, j
To complete the game was an easv task.
Grist put on a long face, and. while he
laughed in his sleeve, plead perfect poverty ;
went on the limits ; swore he was not worth
five pounds, &c. 4c. and came out a hew
member oi society ; able, as he boasted, t to
snap his fingers at the world, as he owed'
nothing. But the Devil sometimes cheats
his customers when they littledream of it.
A few weeks after his liberation. Grist
called upon the old gentleman to release him
from his agency, by making settlement of
the property on his family. Mr. Prince met
him with a grave face, and in answer tohj
him that he could not . by any means ac-
itnowieuge mat nis neigiioor vansi naa any.
an idea would be to charge him directly with
committing perjury, when he swore he had
no interest. And that further, as the proper-
ty really belonged to other people, that of Mr.
Grist, having been purchased ont of their
money, he felt it his duty to put the true
owners in possession.
Mr. Grist was thunderstruck ; and after in
vain attempting to persuade himself and Mr.
Prince that this new idea was all a joke, he
abandoned the ground in utter despair ; and
after two or three fits of melancholy, turned
himself over to labor for a decent livelihood.
In the mean time Mr. Prince called the cred
itors of the insolvent together, and made a
fair distribution of the whole estate among
them.

that gentleman, also travelling on horseback,
his party zeal led him into a conversation
upon the all-absorbing topic. In the course
of the conversation Haines took particular
pains to abuse Mr. JetTerson, called him all
kinds of hard names, run down every mea

intercourse and embargo acts at him as most
outrageous And ruinous ridiculed his gun-'

flicted with premature baldness, to the excellent 'Hair
Tonic' prepared by Dr. Jsyne of this City. Having ;
used 41 ourselves, we can speak Ot Its' virtues y ex
perience, snd we unhesitatingly proBoenee it an iu
valuable remedy to prevent the falling off of the hair,
and to restore it from dead, to a fine, healthy . api
pesrance. We can also speak from personal know I- ; .
edge of the cases of two or. three friends who were:
lreilisposed to baldness, who by the ose of Jsyne's
Hair Tonie; have now Inxurunt hair, j we have nor

has been worn offfrom the top of .the -bead,- by the
careless practice oi carrying things in ihe crown of
the hat, it is generally considered dificull if. not im
possible to restore it, but it is found by numerous ex
amples that the Hair Tonic reaches these esses very
promptly snd effects a complete cute. Every gentlo

presumption that their hair is always In full luxuri

who finds bis hair growing too thin, or . becoming

his dressing case and apply it with a free use of thS

JatbVs Haib Tokic We have,heretofoie ounf
bered oarselves among those who' believed -that the
"Hair Tonic," prepared by Dr. Jay ne, war one ef the
many quack nostrums whose virtues are never seed
beyond the fulsome puns of their authors We are
willing, at length, to make public acknowledgement
of the error of our belief. An intimate frieiid, soma)
two or three months since, all the top of whose crani
um was as bald fee a piece of fjolishrd marble, raaogre, '
all our jesting and ridicule of the ides of attempting
to cultivate so barren a spot, purchased a bottle Or two;
of the Hair Toiiic from Dr Jsyne, and according; to;
hia directions applied it. During the, present week,
the same friend ushered himself into onr presene.',antf .
uncovering bis - hitherto naked ' head,' astonished us
with a thin, though luxuriant growth j of hair,' from
one to two inches in length upon the very premises
we had believed as unyielding to cultivation as the
trackless sand that skirls the Atlantic. This is no
puff, buts .righteously true, and those who doubt the
gentleman can be pointed oat.!- What is more in fa-; -vor
of this "Tonic." the case here cited was not one
