His hands would be employ-. ed by Utility, his heart would tlirob witlh Pleafure, and his eye be brightened by Hope-. He would not only ' kt things in older o»» the nrIt day of the month,' but habit woulw] ( caufe order to regulate his occupation during the year. " Were I to compliment a man * or fee-. blc knee.-,,' v.hole eyes are led, whofe hand-;* ftre paralytiek, whole perceptions are diltur-. bcti, and whofe purle u i.upoveriihcd by Har.-- rvin-.', kite at rhe wine/ I Ihould vvilh him % foLr yc.it.

Iru'iead of a happy new year, it would be ih.c duty of their re-il friends, to pray that it might be an unlucky one. An unlucky year would be a year cf jubilee to the gameltef; It would produce a thorough reformation. Should the friendly wilh for ill Inch be realized, and the gamefter nei¬ ther hold four by honors, nor the odd tricky what a clear Caving to his purfe, his health, and his time ! He would fcon couiider cards as the emiffaries ot misfortune, he would en¬ deavor to grow rich by furcr calculations, he would i.otoi.ly endeavor to difcard the knave from his hand, but from his conduct, and be more anxious to turn ihe penny, than a tramp. " The wilh for the fhy bachelor and the coy maiden, is, that, tired cf a cold and eom- foitlefs celibacy, they may agree during the prcfent froily, or approacbitJg venial icafon, to make vuws to Matrimony anJ keep them with the p ti re it good faith. May. their wedding fiag be always bright, aiid may tlicir honey moon, with genial ladiance, glow intenleiy, not merely for a moathj but cheer aud '»ilu many a blifoiul year." O R 1 E S T A L A N £ C OO T £ j DIVERSITY. •O THE NEW TEsIR. u On the firft day of the firll month, let in order the things that are to be fit in or¬ der." The following extracts are from one of the num¬ bers of the Lay Preacher, from the above words, in the Port Folio of' Januaryt I 803 ; and are as applicable now as they were then. " "WHILE all aiound him are repeating the compliments of the fesfon, and, with jo¬ cund voices, wilhing each other 3 happy new year, the Lay Preacher, wilh affectionate zeal, will fugged plans by which thefe annu¬ al whiles for felicity may be realized. u Mod: men are criminally idle. 1 con- fefs, with candor, that I loiter and (lumber much, and, while I preach induflry to oth¬ ers, am myfelf a cafl away. But the fun who darts his reproachful rays through the cur¬ tain, undrawn at nine o clock, fcems to up¬ braid my fluggifhnefs, and to with that I would announce to the lazy of my flock that they will not, like him, at once mine and be or ufe, imlei\ like him they rife feafona- bly. My readers are, therefore, vehement¬ ly exhorted early to extihguim their candles, and tu •«fe the day lamp, which neither fput¬ ters nor foes, whofe wick, never burns out, and whofe oil never fails. All who wilh that the year may be happy, mult rigorouf- ly obferve this injunction. No complaints mull be heard of the chill of winter morn¬ ings, or the fhortnefs of hammer nierhts. but r lit as loqn as the above lamp begins to glim- ner, let them rife and work? They will foon be convinced that it is fo inveniouily contrived,, its radiance will not offend the eye*, nor its exhalations taint the lungs, like the vulgar tapers of midnight. " Inflead of employing the ufual expref- fion, a happy new year, it would, perhaps, be an improvement to vary the phrafe, and a- dapt it to the character of the perfon who is add relied. ** If I meant that a fluggard mould enjoy a happy year, I would wilh him an active and laborious one. I would apply to feme clam¬ orous carman, or fome importunate client to bellow at his window at the dawn of day. I would even advance a dollar from my fmall fal :ry, t-, purchsfe a couple of cocks to cro'w him up to exution. The year of the idler wsukl then undoubtedly be happy.

One of the congregation wept con- tiantly. On* day the preacher laid, '* My words make great irnprcilion on this man's heart, wh.rMi is the reafon of his crying fo much." Others obf>Vvrd thus to the man that wept. ** The learned man does not make any impvcfilon on our minds : what kind of a heart mult you have, to be always in tears ?" He anfwered, "I do not weep at his difcourfc ; but 1 had a goat, of whom I was exceedingly fond, when he grew old, he died ; now whenever the learned man fpeaks and wags his chin, the goat comes to -jnv remembrance, for he had juR fuch a long beard." m ■ In a chufch a few miles from London, the prieft was repeating that part of the Litany which offers up prayers "forall thofe who travel by laud 01 by water," &c when the clerk fuddenly exclaimed, u Except my wife, who eloped from me two days ago."
