THANKSGIVING.
To-morrow is the day appointed by our Governor and Council, as a day of Thanks- giving to all the people of Massachusetts. Whether it will be, in reality, to. all, we doubt. How many are there who keep this day as it should be kept?
How much does Massachusetts pay for the support of foreign paupers, annually?
JESUIT'S OATH.
Below, we copy the famous Jesuit's oath. We take it from the address of the Ameri- can Protestant Association, where it is in- troduced thus: "It is taken from a collec- tion of papers by Archbishop Usher, who describes it as the 'Oath of Secrecy devis- ed by the Roman Clergy, as it remaineth on record at Paris, among the Society of Jesuits.' The antiquated form, which is of similar import, can be found in Baronius, who thus concludes his account of it :- Hactenus juramentum, &c., that is the oath which to that period all the prelates
IDLENESS. - Nine-tenths of the misery and vice of mankind proceed from idleness. With men of quick minds, to whom it is es- pecially pernicious, this habit is commonly the fruit of many disappointments and schemes oft baffled, and men fail in their schemes not so much from the want of strength as from the ill-direction of it.The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accom- plish something; the strongest, by dispers- ing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continued falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock; the hasty torrent rushes over it with hide- ous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.
STAND FAST .- Under all the trials of life, stand fast !- Would you to live without trial ?- Then would you wish to die but halt a man-at the very best but half a man ?- Without a trial, you cannot guess at your own strength. Men do not learn to swim upon a table, They must go into deep water and buffet the surges .- If you would know their whole strength, and of what they are capable, throw them overboard! over with them! and if they are worth saving they will swim ashore thmselves.
THOMAS FLEET, a Boston printer, (and also an auctioneer, ) thus advertised in his paper, in 1742: "A negro woman to be sold by the printer of this paper .- The very best negro woman in this town, who has had the small pox and the measles, is as hearty as a horse, as brisk as a bird, and' will work like a beaver." 1

"My request is," said the miser, "that you ask me for nothing."

TO PARENTS.
We have before this been called upon, to put things in a proper train.
by the various complaints made, in conse- «quence of the unruly and unmanly beha- vier of boys, to show the relative position of parents to their children-and their duty as parents. It is true that mothers and fa- thers are responsible for the conduct of their children, in a great degree, even "till the age of manhood- and, in our opinion, more or less during their lives Now, who will not say but that it is much easier to bend a young sapling than a full grown tree?

MR. EDITOR :- I noticed in the columns of the Eagle, some weeks since, an article relating to the conduct of boys of this and other places. The writer of that article said he did not wish to apply his remarks particularly to this place, but to other pla- ces where the evil exists. It seems to me, that as far as it relates to the ill conduct of beys, it may well be applied to this place; and though he had spoken with four times the severity, he would scarcely have told half the truth. I am sometimes led to won- der what parents can be thinking of, to suffer their boys to be wandering about the streets every evening, without keeping a more watchful eye to their behavior. There can scarcely be a meeting held at any place, or on any occasion, without its be- ing surrounded with boys whose whole in- tention is, to make disturbance. But a short time since, one of the Societies was holding a religious meeting, and boys were assembled outside, mimicing the speaker .- And no matter whether persons assemble together for worship, for the cultivation of
C. and Mrs. E. are well known to several of my personal acquaintances, and are said to be very amiable and industrious. Each of the ladies has presented her particular 'lord' an heir, in the person of a fine, fat, bouncing daughter! It is said that Chang and Eng, with their wives and children, contemplate making a tour through this country in a year or two. The Twins en- joy excellent health-are very lively, talk- ative and apparently happy, and will doubt- less prove more interesting and attractive in their second to us than they did in their | monwealths, governments-all being illegal first."

IMME AND RATS. A gentleman of this city who bad occasion to use considerable lime about his premises, which had hereto- fore been much infested with rats, inform- ed us that these destructive vermin had sud- denly ceased to appear or to annoy hira .- "Before using the lime," said he, "you could scarcely walk across the yard after night without treading on them." " He show- ed as several of the principle holes, around which he had deposited a small portion of fresh onslacked line, which evidently had the effect of driving them from these places which they before resorted to in great nun- bers. The above is a simple and cheap method of getting rid of this annoying and destructive pest. Suppose you try it. - Ma- chias paper.
SONG OF THE OLD SAILOR. Many days have I spent on the mountain wave,
Far, far away from my own native land, Where many a sailor has found a grave, In the deep, dark blue ocean's coral sand.
Hard have I labored by day and by night, While my Barque rode o'er the billowy main-
In the pelting storm, and the sunshine bright,
'Twas toil on, toil on, again and again.
Few are the joys of a life, on the sea, As many by sad experience know; And many the hardships I did not foresee, When first I purposed this life to pursue.
The pleasures of home I've had to forego., The presence of friends their kindness to me-
And all the sweet comforts which they could bestow,
For a long, dreamy life on the boundless sea.
O could I recall the days that have gone, And throw myself back on the years of my glee;
I'd cling to the comforts of friends and of · home,
And ne'er venture out on the deep stormy sea.
O give me the land and there let ine dwell, For my remnant of time will soon pass a- way;
For the bright hills and vales, I love them 'so well,
That fain on the land I always would stay. PLUNKET.
Money, in the opinion of the world, makes a man wise and virtuous, the want. of it, foolish and wicked.
The world seldom ask, how a man ac- qutred his property? the only question is, has he got it?
A man must have codfidece in himself, if he expects the world will have any in
The first pursuit of man is happiness, each take a different road, and at last meet at the goal of disappointment.
Show me a man, who is firm and collect- ed, and not depressed in adversity-com- posed, not inflated by prosperity, and I will show you a man formed for great and noble actions.
Those men who can endure adversity wit dignity, will ever support prosperity with modesty, and propriety of conduct.
It requires more firmuess to live, than to die, as we are- more distressed at present misery, than at future uncertainty.
The man, who laughs al Religion, is al- ways destitute of Morals.
In Religion we are accountable only to our God; "God judgeth the heart;" In Morals, to man; "By their works ye shall know them."
The Fanatick and the Infidel have the same claim on the world for respect; each are dangerous companions; neither should be trusted in privale life, or be elevated to important, responsible, public situations.
The affection of a mother towards her the Committee will be pleased to receive them. children, is more warm, strong and power- ful than that of a father.
The moment a man enters your presence, ¡ your feelings are irresistibly interested, ei- ther in favour or against him-his person, manners, words and actions, pass in review before you, and you approve or disapprove, without reasoniug on his merits or demerits. Your mind was taken captive at first sight and you teel no wish to get free.
Misery to man, is the sonrce of happi- ness. Without distress, the world would be a wide, dreary waste, joyless, irksome, tasteless and insipid.
Men usnally wish to be considered to ex- cel in those qualites, which they do not pos- sess. The celebrated Doctor SAMUEL JOHNSON is a forcible example of the above truth; a man, whose great and extensive erudition, commanded the respect and ad- miration of the world. Although he was exceedingly clumsy in his deportment, very awkward in his behaviour, yet in early life, he was more solicitous to be considerer a graceful dancer, and possessing easy man- ners, than a man of science.
Men will sooner give large sums to er- rect a monument, and endow hospitals, to emblazon their names, than a cent to the miserable mendicant, asking alms at the doors. A "cup of cold water in love," will be mor favoradly registered by DEITY, than . millions expendnd under the influence of vanity.
The spendthrift who scatters his money, without reflection, and gives without exam- ination, and the miser, who never has a tear for the miserable, or a farthing for the dis- tressed. deserve equally the detestation of the virtuous and. the benevolent of the world.
He, who profusely scatters his money, will die in an alms house or agoal. He, who squanders his time, - will die ignorant and vicious. He, who gives away his in- tellect on every trifling occasion, will nev- er find purchasers for his talents, or re- ceive due respect for his genius.
The mad, who uses his wife, with the most marked attention, before company, usually abuses her, when they are absent.
When a man, on a first interview, shakes you cordially by the hand, smiles in your face, and professes great attachment, you may be certain, he either has a design on your family or estate.
The man, who makes a parade of his re- ligion, should ever be suspected of hypoc- risy: Religion is simple, easy to be entreat- ed, and ever avoids unnecessary show, or vain ostentation.
Those, who are the most noisy in their grief, at the loss of a friend, possess the least real sorrow.
Custom governs the world; it is the ty- rant of our feelings and our manners, and rules us with the imperious hand of a des- pot.
Misery supports the human race.
Man usually manufactures his own mis- ery; our distresses exist as often in our im- agination, as in reality.
