And the man gave names to all the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea.

But there was not found a help meet for man; so God brought on him a deep sleep, and then took from his side a rib, of which he made a wife, and gave her to the man, and her name was Eve-And from these two came all the sons of men.

If we go out, he marks our steps: and when we go in, no door can shut him from us.While we are by ourselves, he knows all our vain thoughts, and the ends we aim at: And when we talk to friend or foe, he hears our words, and views the good or harm we do to them, or to ourselves.

When we pray, he notes our zeal All the day long he minds how we spend our time, and no dark night can hide our works from him. If we play the cheat, he marks the fraud, and hears the least word of a false tongue.

He sees if our hearts are hard to the poor, or if by alms we help their wants: If in our breast we pine at the rich, or if we are well pleased with our own state. He knows all that we do; and be we where we will, he is sure to be with us,

He made us, and we are his children.He loves us and is our heavenly father. He preserves our lives; he feeds us and provides for all our wants. O! let us love and adore

him!

Useful Lessons.

Can you tell me, William, what the coins, or pieces of money, used in the United States, are called?

Yes

Sir. They are called eagles, dollars, dimes, cents, and mills. Ten mills make one cent, ten cents make one dime, ten dimes make one dollar, and ten dollars make one eagle.

What is sterling money? It is the coin used by the English nation. It consists of farthings, pence, shillings, and pounds. Four farthings make one penny, twelve pence make one shilling, and twenty shillings make one pound.

Very well. Now repeat the tables of liquid measures. Four gills make one pint, two pints make one quart, four quarts make one gallon, thirty one and a half gallons of wine, or thirty-six gallons of beer, make one barrel.

In dry measure, two pints make one quart, eight quarts make one peck, and four pecks make one bushel.

How do you measure distances? By long measure. Three barley-corns make one inch, twelve inches make one foot, three feet make one yard, five and a half yards make one rod, forty rods make one furlong, eight furlongs make one mile, and three miles make one league.

How do you reckon time? By seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and years.

Sixty seconds make one minute, sixty minutes make one hour, twenty-four hours make one day, seven days make one week, four weeks make one month, twelve months make one year.

How many square rods of ground make an acre? Three feet make a yard; five yards and a half make a rod or perch; forty square rods make a rood or one quarter of an acre, and one hundred and sixty square rods make an acre. One team will plow an acre in a day-sometimes more.

In solids, forty feet of round timber, or fifty feet of hewn timber, make a ton. A cord of wood contains one hundred and twenty-eight solid feet; that is, a pile four feet high, four feet wide, and eight feet long.

In cloth measure, two inches and a fourth make a nail,-four nails, one quarter of a yard-thirty-six inches, or three feet make a yard-three quarters of a yard make an ell Flemish-and five quarters make an English ell.

Tell me how heavy goods are weighed? By avoirdupois weight-in which sixteen drams make an ounce, sixteen ounces one pound, twenty-eight pounds one quarter of a hundred, four quarters, or one hundred and twelve pounds make a hundred, and twenty hundreds, one ton,

By this weight are sold all heavy goods and metals, except gold and silver.

What is troy weight? It is that by which

is estimated the quantity of gold and silver, jewelry, and the drugs sold by the druggist and apothecary.

In troy weight, twenty-four grains make a pennyweight-twenty pennyweights, one ounce and twelve ounces, one pound.These are the divisions used by the silversmith and jeweller. But the apothecary uses a different division, and in his weight, twenty grains make a scruple-three scruples one dram-eight drams, one ounce and twelve ounces, one pound.

ANIMALS.

WHATEVER is alive, and grows, feels, and moves of itself, is an animal.

Some animals live entirely in the water, as fishes; other animals live on the land, as horses, and many others. Some animals live both on land, and in water; these are called amphibious animals.The seal, of whose skin shoes are made; the tortoise, of whose shell combs are made; are amphibious animals.

Some animals are very stupid and still, as the oyster; others are very active, as the little mouse. Some keep awake, at all seasons in the year, sleeping only at night, when children sleep; other animals sleep all the winter. The tortoise sleeps in winter.

Some birds stay in one country all their lives, as the hens, and pigeons; other birds fy away at the beginning of winter, to some warmer country, and come back again in summer. These are called birds of passage; because they pass from one country to another. The wild geese and swallows, are birds of passage.

Some animals, are very peaceable, and affectionate, as the dove; others are very violent, or ferocious, as the tiger and wolf. Some animals feed upon other animals; others feed only on vegetables.

Animals which eat flesh, are called carnivorous. Man is a carnivorous animal. When animals devour others, they should not be called cruel-God has made them so, that they need the flesh of other animals to live upon.

Those animals which use a great deal of force to kill others, are called animals of prey; quadrupeds have very strong and sharp claws, for this purpose. The claws of the birds of prey, are called talons. The animals which are eaten up, are the prey. The mouse is the cat's prey.

Species means kind, or sort. Dogs are one species-cats are another species of animals.

The tortoise, or turtle, as it is sometimes called, has a head somewhat like a toad, and four short legs, with claws. He has a shell on his back, which is so large, that he can draw his head, and claws, quite into it.

There are several species of the turtle. One species lives near clear brooks, and may be seen, in a fine day, swimming about, close to the water's edge. They sleep all winter; and never go far from home in their lives.

Swallows are the birds which build nests in barns, chimneys, and in different parts of houses. The swallow seems to love the habitations of men.

USEFUL EMPLOYMENT.

"Come," said Mr. Barlow, to his boys, "I have a new play for you. I will be the founder of a colony; and you shall be people of different trades and professions, coming to offer yourselves to go with me-What are you, Arthur?”
