A temporary rail way has just been laid over the whole length of the Moss, which serves to bring on the materials and convey the work people and superintendants with great facility. Every morning and evening, the wagons are seen hurrying along; a single man will convey by this means, eight or ten of his fellow workmen at the rate of six miles an hour, with ease; and one active fellow, more swift of foot than his companions, last week the Moss, a distance of four miles and a half, in pushed a wagon, containing ten passengers, across the short period of thirty minutes.

This was in the latter part of summer, about twelve years ago; the fox then not full grown; his front teeth are worn down to the gums. This fox was hard run on our side of the creek, when three years old, by S. Ware and D. Nicholson-but gave them the bag to hold. PUBLIC WORSHIP.-Silence, self-subjection, and a serious deportment, both in family and public worship, ought to be strictly enforced in early life; and it is better that children should not attend, till they are capable of behaving in a proper manner. But a practical respect for the Sabbath, and for the services of religion, is but an effect of that reverence for every thing sacred, which, it is of primary importance early to establish, as a habit of mind. No subject connected with religion, ought to be treated lightly in the presence of children. If, for example, we think we may employ the words of scripture in a jocose or trifling manner, that we may make slighting remarks on the sermon of the day; that we may ridicule the voice and manner of the preacher; that we may speak contemptuously of others, because their religious principles or habits differ from our own, without injury to ourselves; at least we are in danger of leading our children to view religion through a critical and satirical me dium; and thus to throw in their way, one of the greatest hindrances to religious advancement. To take the name of God in vain, (as by using it in common conversation, or on every emotion of fear and surprise,) is an offence so glaring, that a warn ing against it might be unnecessary, were it not that some, even well meaning people, almost unknown to themselves, are apt to fall into it, from the effect of example, and early habit. Such an use of the Divine name, is not only to be most se riously prohibited, but those exclamations which, in fact, convey nearly the same meaning, as, Mercy! Bless me! Good Heavens!
