Interest. Money interest, Beware Gifts
covrodiag touch uniess sure that the pro-
fits of your purchase will more than coan-
-seryaia It. Few are sensible how fast sater
est devours and into whata galloping con-
sumption it brings an estate.
A single ounce Of silver, at such rate OF
compound interest as 10 double itself every
ten years, would (if my hasty computation
be correct) amount ia $50 years, TO about
twelve hundred and fifty tons OF silver.
A dashy young man, two or three and
twenty, spends, we will suppose, hundred
dollars at cards, or otherwise needlessly.
Well what of that, He has youth and
health on his side, and if this sum be, even
his whole property, he can earn support.
Perchance, however, he may live to the age
oil seventy, and, at that helpless age, be des-
tituse. Should it SO happen, ne would nave
much reason to refec, with sorrow on shls
particular folly of his youth: For then he
would find, that not the sum OF a hundred
dollars only had been lost on him but also
the in,erest Of that sum, for almost fifty
wears. Had he saved his money, and KEPT
it a, interest, the whole would been enough
to satisfy his wants in old age. The hun
dred dollars, would have been raore than
two thousand. Interest eats perpetually,
dav and night; and, it left TO accumulate,
year after year, it will in the end eat any
mans whole substance.

From the Virginia Patriot.

Among the mass Of dull detail which has
reached this country by the late arrivals
from foreign ports, it is difficult to ind any
thing Of interest or moment.
This calm is most probably por,entous.
Turkey is the object i'll view, and the storm
is preparing betwecn France and Austria
aud Russia, which is meant to overwhein
her.
Yet it is even possible that Napoleon's
late marriage may dc at least q remote cause
of the present apparent inactivity--h's IN
erlness may be Ia some measure real. That
he is proud Of his alliance and OF has spouse
appears evident. She is said to be winning
and artful, and if he had not hitherto ap-
peared the mere brute, almost destitute of
the common feelings Of humanity. we should
lie somewhat Inclined to believe that the
soft caresses Of beauty might tempt him to
waste those hours in daltlance which, righ e-
" employed, would have conquered the
world.
Should this, fortunately for mankind,
prove to he the fact, he will not be the first
Hercules who has welded dstaF, nor the
first Antony who has lost a would for the
sake of woman.
But we are not disposed TO indulge,
much, such day.dreams of happiness, piau-
sible as they may appear and much as we
should rejoice to see them verified. Ma
poleon has never hitherto discovered even
the smallest propensity to indulge MS social
passions at the expence of his ambition. If
he has paused therefore in his career, it is
probably only that he may collect his
strength & arrange his plans for some more
desperate and fatal exertion.
Spain must fall. His interest, his honor
and his ambition all require IT, He has
sworn it; and to all human calculation he
has power sufficient to effect it..
Turkey will probably come next in sue
cession. She will fall an easy prey, and IN
her fall and in that Of other nations who
have preceded her, We may read the i'm
pressive warning, be ye also ready.
The apathy with which Napoleon's pro-
gress has been viewed in this country is
truly astonishing. We seem to have be-
iieved that because he is at a distance of
three thousand miles from US, we are there
lore safe from his lntrl9urs and his power.
Such security will ruin US. For years
he has had swarms of spies and agents in
this country. He takes every opportunity
to increase their ,uunnber, and late accounts
give US reason to believe that his own bro
Their and a distinguished general in his ar
mics are shortly to be added to the num-
Der.
1t IS time we should be willing to see
things as they are, to know and to dread
our real enemies, and to take those precau-
tons which afford the fairest prospect OF
defeating their designs.

Retirement Law.

IT'S certain nozv, the settlers of Maine
have no reason TO complain Of the federal
administration of Observation-Disclosures once
considered them IS unfriendly to their inter
ests, and unwilling TO grant them any ind,Il
gence. FACTS prove otherwise. Last
summer our excellent Governor Gore tras-
elled to Kenebec river-he visited the towns
or several of them, where the settlers live
He saw how they had cleared up the woods,
made the wilderness smile, given value TO
the lands Of proprietors, and he saw also,
that they had done all this BY the 9 sweat
Gore, they have seen his manners and the
interest he took In their welfare. What
did he do on his return TO Boston, where 50
many Of the rich proprietors live He did
not consult their wishes or feelings alone
No, he looked at the ;ustise of the case, and
in his cool aud sound speech at the opening
of the General Court, in January last. he
gave it as his opinion, that the Betterment
Law could be altered to good advantage
that the settler might have THREE years in
stead of one 10 pay for his land. Many of the
rich proprietors did notlike this, but the Gov
ernnr did his duty, and so did the general
court do theirs-The law that he recon-
mended, was passed, and is now in force
and am glad oft with all my heart, though
| am no settler but like to see justice,
as well as any man. Twas in Boston, while
the law was be fore the General court Cen.
King, and Col. Lewis, of GoIham, and Col.
Thatcher, had the business committed to
them, with some others--but Cen King
was all for keeping oft such a Law-he de-
Iayed and delayed, day after day (for he was
chairman -and the others on the committe e
were obliged to beg and plead and urge
him on, for ten DAYS before they could get
him to act with them-and when he did act,
he did it very unwillingiy. This is solemn
truth appeal TO Col. Lewis and Col.
Thacher-besides all this, not o1e OF The de-
mocrats would more in the business after
the governor had recommended it. The
federslists set /. going * Col. Lewis was
the man. hope the settlers will give praise
where praise is due-justice is done TO the
settlers IN this business, and they may thank
the Governor and the federalsts for it---for
without them, it would not have been done,
nor any thing like it. These are the words
of truth and soberness from an
OLD MAN.
