FROM THE OLD COUCH.

The delicate, insinuatlng address, necessary
in giving the infant mind virtuous bias, in
cooperating with Welding nature, and assist
ing, without seeming to restrain, the tender
scion in its formation, is task little under
stood, and therefore should be studied as a
science by all parents and tutors.
Those rigid rules Of dry morality, in which
the youngster just viewing the charms of life
in perfection, sees no com!iness, can never be
bene6cially applied, unless so judiciously
mingled with delight. suiting the genius of
the youth, as to give them a relish. With
this view Gas l always supposed my pious
mother when | was at school put into my hand
an excellent little poem, said to have been
written by military officer, on his own con-
version: She Justly admired this for the SENT.
meats it breathed, and fondly dwelt on the
sublime illusions from the heart of the elo-

cnigmatical, and all the interest lay in tie eX-

concurred in the sentiment, though discover
ing its beauties in different lights, that the
piece was inestimable. Her calculation was
certainly rational, that from my often regaling
myself with It's hoetical beauties my heart,
then susceptible and plant, could not but i'm
bibe some OF its moral ones. There are III
the scriptures, many poetical incidents, that
viii richly repay even the worldly amateur
for his perusal, by their excellence AS one
ofthese, the language Of the patriarch Jacob
to his sons, who had assembled to receive his
lastbenedction( Genesis 49) cannot be read bnt
with increasing delight,-for the richness OF
its dress, and the aptness and boldness OF his
illusions. The Book of Job throughout, and
parts ofPsalms, Ecclesiasticus Solomon sSong,
&c, sc. are replete with poetical excellencies,
which need only to be perused to be admired.
In this species of Instructive dmusements, may
be ranked sacred vocal music; for while it
grati6es the sense, it has tendency to make
the heart better. The increasing popularity
of this science in these southern states is pleas
ing to every lover of morality.

ACCIDENT.

At Mansfield, on Saturday the 5th inst. as
Miss MATILDA DAVIS, aged Is, was wash
ing yarn in mill stream, four rods above a
saw mill, she fell into the water, and was car
Red by the force of the current into the flume,
her feet Immediately sucked under the gate,
and came in contact with the wheel, which
was at work with full head of water. Mr.
Oliver Bingham, who was tending the mill,
perceiving jar upon the wheel, surprising
al! was not right, instantly ran to the gate, to
shut it down, but finding an obstruction, as
quick as possible he went to the head gate
which lets the water into the humc, which he
shuttle water in the fume in few seconds
run off, and discovered Matilda, in an erect
posture, with her feet confined by the wheel !;
soc called to Mr.. Bingham to help her, who
with some assistance near at hand, eXtricatcd
her from her perilous situation. Her feet
were shockingIy broken and manglcd, but
otherwise she was scarcely injured, and from
the good and skilful attention paid to her
wounds, it is expected she will in great
measure have the use of her feet again. Her
life was providentially saved through the
agency Of Mr. Bingham had he been from
the mill, or less attentive to the regularity OF
the wheel, she must inevitably have persisted,
for she was confined, and her head four feet
under water.

1t is grave and profound saying, that cir
eumstGnces alter cases. One of the principal
charges against poor old Mr.. Adams, by MIR.
Jcaerson's partizans, was, that his temper
was too iery,-that he was too apt to plunge
the nation into all the miseries and expences
of war. Those who were In the secret knew
at the tisne> that had the former gentleman's
SUNK been directed towards the English, in
stead of our dear friends the French, this
complaint at least never would have been
made However, the bait took with the null
titude they saw not through the veil which
covered these pretended phllanthropists, who
affected to deplore the horrors of war, under
aDy circumstances, as the most dreadful GALA
nifty that could befal nation. This may be
said or sung in the subjoined extract from the
National InteIligencer of 1902. The writer
was eulogising the pacific policy of MIR. Jef-
that of his predecessor. After having perus-
ed it, one cannot refrain from inquiriDg, how
those who could pour forth such dulcet strains
of melting melody in favor of Peace, could in
SO short period have become advocates fol-
the IS cruel din of War" But we hasten to the
EXTRACT.

Intelligenccr thought Boaaparte had a right
to sequestrate American property in France:
No; there is no room even for such palli-
anon. Il is neither more nor less than an un-1
disguised |" freedom of seize justified by
the Emperor himself, under the existence of
the Berlin and Milan DEGREES. He says, "you
were conveyed by British ships-you had in
tercourse with the English-thus violating
those DEGREES which are, you know, the fun
damental laws o, my empire" If after this,
any federalist will be pervrrse enough to
doubt the truth of the proclamation, in which
the President proclaimed that these DEGREES
had ceased to operate If any such federal
ist should further proceed reasonably to doubt

The following ridiculous paragraph has
found its way Into the Boston Centnel, which
is considered as one of the noulh-pieccs of
the tory faction. The subioined remarks
will show how far the epithet |" Rogue" is
applicable to the Hon. WHEELER MARTIN.
h POLITICAL .lPOST.i7ES.
Though the democratick papers have proclaim
ed to the world, that all Me ROGUES of their
fdTy ae Gp0state federaHSts - they continue to
boast new accession and have named a comtemp-
tib!e rveathercock of Providence superannuatcd i
deot IN Vermont !; and Reverend MILLER, OF .jIa-
ryand, as among their latest enrolled "rogues."
The next Presidential election will shew what the
accession of strength thus boased of, will amount
to and what viii be the return OF their Deserters
The Providence and Termoat RogmeS" have been
considered too Insignificant for notice in tie States 10
which they belong.'
The Hon Wheeler Martin was born in
Rchohoth, Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
An the year l765, being the eighth son of the
late Sylyanus Martin, Esq. of that town, and
brother to the present Lieutenant Govcrnour
OF this State. About thirty years ago he
came to reside III the town of Providence,
and from close application to business and
proper economy, has acquired Competent
estate In the year 1890 he was appointed.
Justice of the Peace, through the influence
OF the late Hon. Welcome Arnold, then re-
preventative from the town of Providence and
speaker OF the house of representatives., and
was continued in that office until the year
1901, when he was appointed an Associate
Justice oil the Court of Common Pleas for the
county OF Providence, and was continued IN
that Office until the year 1909, when he was
appointed by the federal administration Pres
ident of said Court. In the year 1910 the
Republican administration came into power,
and Mr.. Martin was not re-elected TO The OF
flee of Judge. In May last the federaIisis
again came into power, and, unsolicited, ap,
pointed Judge Martin to the Office Of first
NotaryPublick and Justice of the Peace
Tor the county of Providence /; and previous
ITO the May election this year The fcderalists
had county convention, selected said Mar
tin for their candidate for the Office oil Sheriff
of the county of Providence, and appointed
Abraham Wilkinson, Esq. a representative
from North-Providcncc, as a committee to
wait on him TO know whether his name nigh,
be made use of for that office.
Ishall make no other remarks, than that
Judge Marin was in favour Of the adoption
of the Federal Constitution and we doubt
not bat he viii support all the laws made in
purvicw OF the same he knowing that the
majority must govern IN all well regulated
