President Dwight on Duelling.
The author has taken a comprehensive view of the Folly the sin and the mischiefs of duelling. In the progress of the discussion, he has ably refuted the arguments by which duellists attempt to vindicate the barbarous and Gothic custom. The following extract concludes this elegant and valuable discourse—a discourse which ought to be possessed, and attentively read by every gentleman in the community.
All these things reason and humanity, and religion plead; yet how often, even in this infant country, this country, boasting of its knowledge and virtue, they plead in vain! Duels in great numbers are fought; revenge is glutted; and the miserable victims of wrath and malice are hurried to an untimely end. Come then, thou surviving, and in thine own view, fortunate and glorious champion; accompany me to the scenes of calamity, which thou hast created, and survey the mischiefs of duelling .
Go with me to yonder church-yard. Whose is that newly opened grave? Approach, and read the letters on the yet uncovered coffin. If thou canst retain a steady eye thou wilt perceive that they denote a man, who yesterday beheld and enjoyed the light of the living. Then he shared all the blessings & hopes of life. He possessed health, and competence, and usefulness, and reputation. He was surrounded by neighbors who respected, and by friends who loved him. The wife of his youth found in him every joy, and the balm of every sorrow. The children of his bosom hung on his knees to receive his embrace, and his blessing. In a thousand designs was he embarked, to provide for their support and education, and to settle them usefully and comfortably in the world—He inspired all their enjoyments; he lighted up all their hopes.
Yesterday he was himself a creature of hope, a probationer for immortality. The voice of mercy invited him to faith and repentance in the Lord Jesus Christ to holiness and to heaven. The day of grace shone, the smiles of forgiveness beamed upon his head.
While this happy day lasted God was reconcilable, his redeemer might be found, and his soul might be saved. The night had not then come upon him, in which no man can work .
Where is he now? His body lies mouldering in that coffin. His soul has ascended to God, with all its sins upon its head, to be judged, and condemned to wretchedness, which knows no end. Thy hand has hurried him to the grave, to the judgment, and to damnation. He affronted thee; and this is the expiation which thy revenge exacted.
Turn now to the melancholy mansion, where, yesterday, his presence diffused, tenderness, hope and joy. Enter the door, reluctantly opening to receive the most beloved guest. Here mark the affecting group assembled by this catastrophe. That venerable man, fixed in motionless sorrow, whose hoary head trembles with emotions unutterable, and whose eyes refuse a tear to lessen his anguish, is the father who begat him. That matron wrung with anguish is the mother who bore him. Yesterday he was their delight, their consolation the staff of their declining years. To him they looked, under God, to lighten the evils of their old age; to close their eyes on the bed of death; and to increase their transports throughout eternity.
But their comforts and their hopes have all vanished together. He is now a corpse, a tenant of the grave; cut off in the bloom of life, and sent unprepared to the judgment.
To these immeasurable evils thou hast added the hopeless agony of remembering, while they live, that he was cut off in a gross and dreadful act of sin, and without even a momentary space of repentance: a remembrance which will envenom life, and double the pangs of death.
Turn thine eyes, next, on that miserable form surrounded by a cluster of helpless and wretched children. See her eyes rolling with frenzy, and her frame quivering with terror. Thy hand has made her a widow, and her children orphans. At thee, though unscen, is directed that bewildered stare of agony. At thee she trembles; for thee she listens; lest the murderer of her husband should be now approaching to murder her children also.
She and they have lost their all. Thou hast robbed them of their support, their protector, their guide, their solace, their hope. In the grave all these blessings have been buried by thy hands. If his affront to thee demanded this terrible expiation, what according to thine own decision, must be the sufferings, destined to retribute the
immeasurable injuries, which thou hast done to them.
The day of this retribution is approaching. The voice of thy brother's blood crieth from the ground, and thou art now cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood. A mark is set upon thee by thy God; not for safety, but for destruction. Disease, his avenging angel , is preparing to hurry thee to the bed of death. With what agonies wilt thou there recall thy malice, thy revenge, and the murder of thy friend! With what ecstasy wilt thy soul cling to this world, and with what horror will it quake at the approach of eternity! Alone, naked, drenched in guilt, thou wilt ascend to God. From him what reception wilt thou meet? From his voice what language wilt thou hear? "Depart, thou cursed into everlasting fire." And lo! the melancholy world of sin and suffering unfolds to receive thee. Mark, in the entrance, the man whom thou hast plundered of life, and happiness, and heaven, already waiting to pour on thy devoted head, for the infinite wrongs which thou hast done him, the wrath and vengeance of eternity.
At the close of this awful survey, cast thine eyes once more around thee, and see thyself, and thy brother duellists, the examples, the patrons, and the sole causes, of all succeeding duelling. Were the existing advocates of this practice to cease from upholding it; were they to join their efforts to the common efforts of man, and hunt it out of the world; it would never return. On thee, therefore, and thy companions, the innumerable and immense evils of future duelling are justly charged. To you, a band of enemies to the peace and safety of man, a host of Jeroboams, who, not only sin, but make Israel to sin through a thousand generations, will succeeding ages impute their guilt, and their sufferings. Your efficacious and baleful examples, will make thousands of childless parents, distracted widows, and desolate orphans after you are laid in the grave. You invite posterity to wrest the right of deciding private controversies out of the hands of public justice; and to make force and skill the only umpires between man and man. You entail perpetual contempt on the laws of God; kindle the flames of civil discord; and summon from his native abysses anarchy, the worst of fiends, to lay waste all the happiness, and all the hopes of mankind.
At the great and final day, your country will rise up in judgment against you, to accuse you as the destroyers of her peace, and the murderers of her children. Against you will rise up in judgment all the victims of your revenge, and all the wretched families, whom you have plunged in hopeless misery. The prowling Arab and the remorseless savage, will there draw nigh, and whiten their crimes by a comparison with yours. They indeed, were murderers, but they were never dignified with the name, nor blessed with the privileges of christians. They were born in blood, and educated to slaughter. They were taught from their infancy, that to fight, and to kill, was lawful, honorable and virtuous. You were born in the mansion of knowledge, humanity and religion. At the moment of your birth, you were offered up to God, baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost . You were dandled on the knee, and educated in the school of piety. From the house of God you have gone to the field of blood, and from the foot of the cross, to the murder of your friends. You have cut off life in the blossom, and shortened, to the wretched objects of your wrath, the day of repentance and salvation. The beams of the Sun of righteousness shining with life-giving influence on them, you have intercepted; the smile of mercy, the gleam of hope, the dawn of immortality, you have overcast for ever. You have glutted the grave with untimely slaughter, and helped to people the world of perdition. Crimsoned with guilt, and drunk with blood, Nineveh will ascend from the tomb, triumph over your ruin, and smile to see her own eternal destiny, more tolerable than yours.
In noticing the discourse, from which the above extracts are made, the Connecticut Courant thus remarks:
Before the stern and awful majesty of truth, the duellist stands appalled and confounded; the blood-stained laurels are torn from his brow; his pleas and excuses vanish like vapors from the presence of the sun; his egregious folly is made manifest; the rankness of his offence against God and man, is seen in the strong colors of reason and argument, aided by sublime eloquence.
In the mind of the reader, the alternate emotions of indignation and horror, sud-
denly give place to the anguish of unavailing grief and compassion. The "uncovered coffin" appears to view; the bloody corpse is plainly seen. There is beheld a train of bereaved and broken hearted relatives; the father of the wretched victim of false honor, "fixed in motionless sorrow"—the mother, "wrung with agony." A group still more affecting is presented—the reader wets the page with tears.
Turn thine eyes, next' (solemnly exclaims the preacher to the bloody victor) on that miserable form, surrounded by a cluster of helpless and wretched children, see her eyes rolling with frenzy, and her frame quivering with terror. Thy hand has made her a widow, and her children orphans. At thee, though unscen, is directed that bewildered stare of agony. At thee she trembles; for thee she listens; lest the murderer of her husband should be approaching to murder her children also.
She, and they have lost their all.—Thou hast robbed them of their support, their protector, their guide, their solace, their hope. In the grave all these blessings have been buried by thy hand.
The superior elegance of its language, is but the smallest part of the merit which this discourse possesses. While it enchains attention, it informs the understanding; while it awakens the indignant, and the sympathetic passions, it convinces the judgment and corrects the heart. In the clear and awful light of the sacred oracles, it displays the horrible turpitude, as well as the direful consequences, of the crime, which in some parts of even this christian country has been "vindicated, honored, and rewarded, by common consent, and undisguised suffrage." "among those who filled the superior ranks of society."

LEYDEN, March 14.
At the audiences given by the emperor of France, after his coronation, to the functionaries invited to attend that ceremony, were the presidents of the consistories of Lutheran and reformed communions. The address to the emperor by the dean of the presidents of the consistories of the latter communion, M. Martin pastor at Geneva, and the remarkable answer of the emperor, have not yet been published. These are as follows:
Discourse addressed to the emperor of the French by M. Martin, of Geneva.
"His majesty has fulfilled the wish long since formed by the reformed churches of France, in enabling them to carry to the foot of the throne their homage, and the expression of their sentiments. It is with the liveliest satisfaction that we come to express to his majesty, for ourselves and for our churches, our respectful gratitude for the protection which he has hitherto granted to us, and the full confidence we place in the oath which he has taken in our presence with so much solemnity to maintain the liberty to worship; an oath that gives tranquility to consciences and ensures the peace of the church. We hope that all the French of all communions, all of whom we regard as our brothers, feel as we do, the value of this benefit. We will merit it by our gratitude, our fidelity and our submission to the laws, of which we have uniformly given an example. May our fervent prayers draw down upon his majesty, upon the empress, and upon the princes of the imperial family, all the blessings of the king of the world! May his majesty, after having done so much for his glory add to it the title of pacificator of all Europe, and cease to have any other way of exercising his virtues, except in contributing to the happiness of his people, and augmenting the true glory of sovereigns."
ANSWER OF THE EMPEROR.
"I see, with pleasure, assembled here the pastors of the reformed churches of France. I seize with eagerness this opportunity to express my satisfaction at the fidelity and good conduct of the pastors and citizens of the several protestant communions. I wish it to be known, that my firm resolve and wish are to maintain the liberty of worship. The empire of the law ends where the indefinite empire of conscience begins. Neither the law nor the sovereign can do any thing against that liberty. Such are my principles, and those of the nation; and if any of my race, who may succeed me, shall forget the oath I have taken, and misled, by a false confidence, shall violate it, I here devote him to public animadversion, and I authorise you to give him the name of Nero."
DUNKIRK, March 23.
Letters from Lysle of the 2d inst. state, that on the 17th of the same month, the female cotton-workers threatened to break
the great machinery, made on the English plan; that they had posted up many handbills, by which they invited all their comrades to assemble the same day; that they did assemble, and had dared to draw up a petition, for the purpose of abolishing those machines, so necessary to rival the English manufactures. On the 20th, they sallied forth in a great body, to destroy the machines set up in the neighborhood of Lisle; that all the garrison were immediately under arms, to disperse these rioters, that the cavalry hastened to the assistance of the neighboring manufacturers, and tranquility was again restored.
FREDERICK-TOWN, June 8. Melancholly Occurrence.
On Sunday last between the hours of three and four o'clock in the morning, a thunder cloud passed over this town, from which a flash of lightning descended on the house of Mr. Joseph Doll, jnn. and struck him dead in the entry, as he was going out, it is supposed, with the intention of placing some tubs to catch rain water.
The lightning appears to have entered at the gable end near the chimney at the junction of the two rafters, where it divided itself into two streams, one passing along the front; in its course breaking several panes of glass of the upper window, and shattering the casement considerably, and thence descending to a window of the lower story, the frame of which was marked with violence.
It is a little surprising, that notwithstanding a gun was suspended from that rafter to the next one to it, a small portion only of the fluid was diverted from its course by the barrel, along which it passed as far as the lock, from which it issued into the rafter, leaving some slight impressions on it. The other stream of lightning, which made its way down the rafter to the back of the building, after reaching the corner passed through the upper and lower rooms on that side, and tore away the plastering in several places. It was near the door of the lower apartment that Mr. Doll was found, about half an hour after he was struck, by an apprentice lad who slept in the garret, about three or four yards from the rafter by which it descended into the rooms. He however suffered no injury, except being very much stunned.
It is to be regretted, that the means of restoration were not properly employed on this occasion, as there was reason to believe they might have proved successful. But more than an hour having elapsed before any aid was called for, and this being the only instance of death by lightning in this town, the confusion generally consequent to such accidents, prevented the necessary efforts from being made in time.
Mr. Joseph Doll was 35 years of age and in the full vigor of life. He was esteemed by all who knew him. He was honest, industrious and pious. He was dutiful as a husband and father. He has left a widow and three orphans to lament his sudden and untimely fate.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED Liverpool, April 20.
"Our cotton market is extremely dull, and very little has been done in it since our price current of the 11th inst. Indeed so flat that there has not been a possibility of forcing sales. There sales of Surinams were advertised, but not put up; and yesterday 426 bags and bales Upland Georgia, 116 of New Orleans, 42 bales of Demerara, and 249 bags Sea Island, were put up to auction, the former kinds were withdrawn without an offer, and a few lots of the latter only sold at 2s 6d half penny, and 2 10d half penny—one bowed sea island at 2s 10d—10 stained at 18d and 7 at 2s. which are full 3d a 41 per lb. lower than the preceding sales. This attempt at sale has greatly added to the depression before experienced, and it is impossible to quote a selling price at which any thing of consequence can be done. Some good uplands have been sold a 19d a 19d half penny. We have been trying very superior New Orleans without an offer—2s and half penny and 2s is an asking price, but nothing can be done, though we have heard a small lot has been sold at 2s 3d half penny. Cottons in general may be quoted 2d lower than our prices of the 11th inst. but in fact even that is only nominal."
"We have before stated to you that the stocks of cotton are principally in this place; that the supplies in other ports, as well as in the hands of the manufacturers, are light, and that we should not consider the quantities collectively heavy in face of a regular demand. The great source of the mischief is the dull sale and accumulated stocks of twist; it is going off in a small degree, but at very low prices, though spinners are sustaining heavy losses, the alarm and want of confidence in them are very great, and spread very materially to the importers."
"It is impossible to state what prices may break, and what turn the market may take in the present state of demand."

Ships have brought about 6000 Sales of mahogany and cocoa have been at the date of our last advices; and grain remain very heavy. We shall in a few you a fresh price current; in the in- to refer to our last. The rate of insurance to the United States about 3gs. and to N. Orleans 4
is again rumored that Russia is expected to take a decisive part against France, but no confidence in any idea of the kind. There are various reports from the West- but no dependence upon them; and on you will have earlier information than us to recommend the great caution to you in your shipments.
We understand that a company has been formed in the Eastern states, for the pur- pose of opening a Canal round the falls of Ohio, and erecting water works at that place. Col. Burr, it has been said, is con- cerned in that company; and we presume his visit to the Western country, is princi- pally confined to that object. From Louisville we hear that the agents of the company have made considerable purchases of Lands in the neighbourhood of that place, and are contracting for open- ing the Canal, which is to be on the North West side of the river. It is also said that considerable rivalry will exist, as the Kentucky Company, having the same ob- ject in view, are resolved to persevere in opening a Canal on the Kentucky side of the river. (Kentucky Gazette.)
The other day a captain of a vessel had a quantity of coals to go on board, and as a great number lay scattered about the wharf, he thought it would be best to get a rake that he might more speedily collect them together; he went into a counting house and enquired of the merchant, whe- ther he could have the loan of a rake for a few minutes? The merchant smiled, and looking significantly round at his clerks, said, I believe I have a number of them, but not one who will readily answer your purpose: the captain comprehending the pun, very wittily replied, I think you are quite right, sir, for neither of them, I suppose, would wish to be "hauled over the coals." (Boston Magazine.)
From the Charleston Courier. DEMOCRATIC as well as monarchi- cal despotisms protect their existence by the ignorance of the people. In proportion as the sun of knowledge rises from the hori- zon towards the meridian, the illusory shadows of the mind shorten, and when it arrives at its vertical height, they wholly disappear. How long it can be made to stand there depends partly on the disposi- tions of providence, and partly upon the prudential provisions and arrangements of associated man. Those provisions can scarcely be the result of chance, or the pro- duction of fortuitous or accidental combi- nations. Man's utmost wisdom can do no more than produce it. Ignorance must fall short. And if we survey the events of his- tory, which teach us wisdom by centuries of example, we shall find that precisely in proportion to the information, the wisdom, and the virtue of a people, they have been free, and retained their freedom in perma- nent possession. If we look to the republics of Greece, and Rome, we shall find them possessing many of the requisites for a republic. For- titude, love of freedom, industry, simplic- ity and frugality. The mass of the people however wanted information, and therefore they were in effect, though not the manacled slaves, eternally the dupes and victims of mischievous demagogues. The know- ledge they possessed was divided among a few, and those few might by an union a- mong themselves have at any time enslaved them. But their ambition, their envy, their rivalry, and their jealousy of each other, forbade it, and posterity is yet to decide which had been better for their present peace or ultimate good; to be at once plac- ed in a mitigated state of slavery, or to en- sure the painful convulsions occasioned by the struggles of those men for power.--- Where there is an immense inferiority in knowledge and information of the gene- ral mass of a people, to that of a fraction of the latter must have the better in any con- test that may arise between the privileged of the one and the ambition of the other. They can assail the former in a thou- sand ways which it never entered into the hearts of the uninformed to think of. They can not only turn every occurrence to their own advantage, but by dexterity cause the occurrence to suit their views. They can make the worse appear the better cause. They can wheedle, persuade, ca-
jole, intercept information, pervert truth, give confirmation to falsehood, paint, var- nish over, and distort every circumstance to suit their purpose: for how knoweth ig- norance whether they speak truth or false- hood. If we look to the ancient republics, we find them eternally fluctuating, often raging like the sea under a storm upon an ocean of doubts, cabals and intrigues of demagogues. And if those modern essen- ces which have borne the name, some with more, some with less pretensions to it, of republic, have suffered less from the class of disturbers, it will be found, on close inspection, that they were in general aris- tocratic republics, in which the wise go- verned, and the people were simply pas- sive, and in some cases free. The mass, however, wanted information, and when the tempter came, when their eyes opened to the wild uproar of democracy, as it floated on every breeze that blew from ja- cubin France; and when they heard the tempters, the deceivers, the demagogues, whispering a fond tale in their ears, incapa- ble of weighing the value of what they heard, of determining what was feasible, what impracticable, of looking into the womb of time for the consequences, or distinguishing that which was only trans- iently fair and promising from that which was eventually good or pernicious—they fell—and are at this moment under the do- minion of a ferocious, iron-handed des- potism. They would, in defiance of all remonstrances, listen to their oily orators, their fair spoken demagogues, their ha- ranguers—they believed them sincere, and they found them base betrayers. The want of knowledge was their ruin.
If we survey the world from the first im- portant traces of its history, to this period, we shall find no State more deserving the name of a republic than the state of Con- necticut, which contains within it the means of a perfect and permanent republic.--- With all that ardent love of liberty which animates physical force to deeds of patriot- ic pith, they have the discretion, because the information, to direct it, and prescribe its bounds. With all that zeal and enthu- siasm in the cause of freedom, which fur- nishes demagogues with the readiest means of ruling them, they have the information, the reading, the general knowledge, which enable every individual to anticipate the plans and wiles of those specious subtle e- nemies of human peace, and to provide against, to resist, to deride them. In a word, the diffusion of sterling knowledge which reaches every individual; the thick- ness of their population, which enables them communicate and unite their knowledge, and bring it into uniform action in one bo- dy, and with one consent; their frugality, their industry, and their reverence for re- ligion, all conjointly producing temperance and consequent coolness of reflection, and steady habits of thought and action, mark that state as the permanent sanctuary of by grasping at the shadow. There liberty, planted in a firm, rich soil, well tended, dai- true freedom and independence---ratio- al freedom which loses not the substance ly and hourly inspected, dressed, trained, and judiciously trimmed; the root nourish- ed by the rich manure of genuine, unaffec- ted patriotism; the wild redundancies, and useless shoots which idly seek the clouds, but never fail to bend down into the earth, (those superfluities, the sustenance of which exhausts the trunk, dwindles the fruit, cankers the whole tree, and brings it to the fire; and on which the monarchic despots bud their Machiavel, and the demo- cratic graft (their Upas) will flourish, when in other places it will be spoken of as a gem long lost, and their highest boast will be, libertas fuit.
It is in that state we now see patriotism and reason intrenching real republicanism, first against the soft cajolery, and now a- gainst the bold and audacious attacks eve- ry day made upon it by a party, in which the eye of ordinary penetration can easily discern united the two fold evils of monar- chic and democratic despotism; that worst of monarchic (to be sure, not yet heredita- ry) despotism, founded in the idolatry of one man, by a deceived, liberty-loving, patriotic people, earnest in the pursuit of good, but beguiled out of the road of pur- suing it; that worst of democratic despot- ism, a systematic league, formed among private individuals, assuming to speak the will of the people, yet making the people bend to their will, and acknowledge it as their own; and both despotisms mutually serving and supporting, mutually served and supported; leagued in one design, co- operating in one work, and acting in con- cert to one end. Each making the other its instrument for the time. Each encour- aging the other to the hackney goal. Each determined, when its turn shall be served, and when arrived at the goal to turn upon the other. It has been said that the late
second election of the party in power to office, is a proof of its purity. In our minds, it is exactly the reverse. It is the most unpromising symptom of our politi- cal disease, and that the influence of the party is become dangerous; and, would to GOD, we could not with truth say it, it is a full confirmation of all we have hither- to advanced, and no less full an accom- plishment of the views and designs we long ago attributed to it. It is a proof that the federalists were not so unjustly trampled upon to no purpose. It is a proof that the balance of the national mind is lost. It is a proof that the opposition which is allowed to be necessary to the permanent safety of a nation is crushed, its energies extinguished by tyranny and oppression, its wings pinioned, and its limbs clipped and chain-bound.
Indeed, according to the frailty of man, which God only, if he please, can cure, and which makes the many annex respect and opinion to power, worldly consequence and success, how can the virtue of the land be heard when it lies prostrate, and is trampled exanimate to the earth? The ear of the Omnipotent heard the blood of Abel cry against Cain.---The same ear hears, and will heed the voice of the op- pressed federalists crying out against the wicked deeds committed against them- selves & the country which they saved from British ministerial tyranny. But can the people of this immense continent hear them though they were to pronounce it in a voice like thunder, their protests against a sys- tem which a deceived people admire as good while it is working their ruin.
Connecticut, once more the champion of the Union stands immovable and undismayed in the breach. In no other part of the Union have the demagogues of the day been so diligent, in- dustrious, or so perniciously active to corrupt the people, from the highest to the lowest. There they exerted all their wiles; and they have been hitherto baffled; and in no part of the Union, perhaps of the world, are such persons or such principles so much despised. MINERVA has thrown the shield of knowledge over that people, and the youth of the state pour in a thousand streams from a thousand schools to support her egis, while the tough sinews of her brave sons, hardened by the war which gave independence to this land, and their hearts animated by the re- membrance of what they risked, and what they won, stand with their hands upon their spear, to wield it in defence of liberty and reason.
Tantot, foulant aux pieds l'Asée audacieux, C'est Minerve s'armant pour la cause des Dieux What the result of the battle will be who can tell? Ruinous it will be no doubt if the people do not soon range themselves on the side of wis- dom and virtue. But be the result what it may, the glory of Connecticut will still be the same. At home it confounds ministerial artifice, and de- feats its plans; and world to God that its exam- ple were contemplated, appreciated, and followed abroad. Should her efforts prove unsuccessful, and obstinate evil, with cumulative stratagem and force, be victorious, Connecticut may at least say with the dignified French general, who gained more fame from the sentiment than he could from the greatest victory, "We have lost every thing but our honor."
From the PORT FOLIO. CONSOLATION. Translated from the French.
The great philosopher Citophilus, said one day to a lady who was overwhelmed with grief, and had just cause to be so, ma- dam, the queen of England, daughter of the great Henry IV. has been as unfortunate as yourself; she was driven from her king- dom; she narrowly escaped shipwreck on the ocean; she witnessed the death of her royal husband on the scaffold. I am very sorry for her replied the lady; and she began to shed tears at her own misfortunes. But, said Citophilus, remember Mary Stewart; she entertained a very chaste af- fection for a gallant musician. Her hus- band killed her musician in her presence; and afterwards her good friend and kind relation, Queen Elizabeth who called her- self a virgin, caused her head to be severed from her body, on a scaffold arrayed in black, after having detained her in prison eighteen years. That was very cruel repli- ed the lady, and she was again plunged in melancholy.
You have perhaps, said the consoler heard of the beautiful Joan of Naples, who was made prisoner and strangled? I have a confused recollection of it said the afflicted lady.
I must relate to you said Citophilus, the adventure of a princess who was in my time dethroned after supper, and died in a desert island. I am acquainted with her history replied the lady.
Well then, I will inform you what hap- pened to another great princess, whom I instructed in philosophy. She like all o- ther great and beautiful princesses, had a lover. Her father entered her chamber & surprised her lover, whose face was all on fire, and whose eye sparkled like a carbun-
cle; the complexion of the lady was ex- tremely animated.
The countenance of the young man so much displeased the father, that he inflict- ed upon it the most violent blow that had ever been given in his province. The lover seized a pair of tongs, and broke the fa- ther's head, which was with difficulty cur- ed, and still bears the mark of the wound. The princess, in a fit of despair, leapt thro' the window, and dislocated her ankle; and she at this day limps, although in other respects her port and person are admirable. The lover was condemned to death for having broke the head of a great prince. You may judge of the situation of the princess, when her lover was led to the gallows. I frequently saw her whilst she was in prison; she never spoke of any thing but her misfortunes.
Why then, replied the lady, will you not permit me to think of mine? Because, said the philosopher, you ought not to think of them, and so many great women have been so unfortunate, it is unbecoming in you to despair. Think of Hecuba; think of Niobe. Ah! said the lady, had I lived in their time, or in that of the beau- tiful princesses, whom you have mention- ed, and if, by way of consolation, you had recounted to them my misfortunes, do you think they would have listened to you?
On the succeeding day, the philosopher lost his only son, and his excessive grief almost threatened his existence. The la- dy made out a list of all the kings who had lost their children, and presented it to the philosopher; he read it, and found it per- fectly correct, but his tears ceased not to flow. After a lapse of three months they met, and were surprised to find each other in so gay a mood. They erected a beauti- ful statue to Time, with this inscription: To him, who brings consolation.
From the Augusta (Georgia) Herald. Messrs. HOBBY & BUNCE,
I enclose for your perusal, and for your publication, if you think proper, the follow- ing copy of a letter, written by a person who proposed opening a school, not far from my residence; as he was obliged to decline for want of suitable encourage- ment, it may seem to evidence the little patronage afforded in a frontier country to men of genius and learning.
SIR, Haven been often and frequently solicited to open a skool in this naburhood and ha- ven a promis of havin a konsiderable num- ber of skollars sent me at a good rate which it cannot be expected that I should devot my time and talents without reasonabel compensashun to be received which I have no doubt you will approve.

If you should send to me, you may depend upon every attentshun suited to there age and capashys being as I apprehend there are a different manage- ment to be exercised towards children of different abilities which I here yours are remarkabel for their forrardness and capa- sity. If that are the case, there progress makin will be doubly commensurate. My terms of instruckshun in the small classes is and these just beginnen to reed and rite and sifer is five dollars a quarter always paid when the children first begins, bein as some tokes mite take them away afterwards without paying not suspecting you of such conduct which I thing you will approve my method. To them that are taut, jeo- grafy, matthewmattocks, and elokushun or orratory speekin, I charges six dolars, being as they requires more attentshun.
If so be as you should send you can send the money for the first quarter by any one or both of them or bring it yourself when I see you as I am not particular as to a few days but hope it wont be long.

N. B. You will pleas if you send, to send me word what branches of larnin you want them taut.
P. S. You will also send books and pa- per and pens and ink and a pen nife, as I always larne skolars to make there one pens, but you need not send pens for them that you dont want to rite, nor books for them that you dont want to reed which they can do without them. I need not tell you in the words of the poet
