THE SEAT OFGOvERNMENT.

Several grounds on the Kennebec are N a
good state to be improved by the government
house. Lands aud rents have risen in conse-
quence ofthe assurance felt by the people in that
quarter that they are in the centre Of wealth and
population. They will doubtless be supported
in their pretentions by most if not all east of the
county of Cumberland.-Time must determine.

From wirt's Old Bachelor.

1t was pleasant evening in the month
of May and my sweet child, my Rosa
lie, and / had sauntered up the castles
top, to enjoy the breeze that played around
it, and to admire the unclouded firma-
ment that glowed and sparkled, with
unusual lustre, from pole to pole. The
atmosphere was 10 its purest aud finest
state for vision; every planet and every
star above the horizon, however near and
brilliant, or distant and faint, lent its lam
beat light, or twinkling ray, to give va
riety ADD beauty to the hemisphere: while
the round, bright moon so distinctly de-
fined we're the lines Of her figure, and so
clearly visible even the rotundity Of her
form) seemed to hang off from the azure
vault, suspended in midway air orstoop-
ing forward from the armament her fair
and radiant face, as if to court aud return
our gaze.
We amused ourselves for some time in
observing, through telescope, the planet
Jupiter sailing 10 silent majesty, with his
squadron Of satellites, along the vast ocean
OF space between us and the fixed stars
and admired the felicity Of that design by
which those distant bodies had been par
celled out and arranged into consultations
so as to have served not emily for beacons
for the ancient navigator, but as it were
for landmarks to astronomers to this day,
enabling them, although in different coun-
tries, to indicate to each other, with ease,
the place and motion Of those planets,
comets, and magnificent meteors, which in-
habit, revoIve and play in the intermediate
space.

THE LAY PREACHER.

Ecciesiasticus, 2Ssh cl SGD and SD 1erses.
Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither
be tied to the expense thereof.
Be not made beggar by ;,anqueting upon borrow.
ing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse.
This text was made for the present
times: and had the son of Sirach lived
in our days, he never would have dis
missed this subject with two short verses.
A long and full chapter would have been
the least he could have done for us. Let
us improve what he has left us.
Take not pleasure in much good
cheer" This you viii say is hard pre-
cept. The other part Of the verse, /" nei-
Their be tied to the expense thereof" is well
enougb-give us the good cheer, and We
Iicei indifferent as to those upon whom the
expense falls. Again, Mr.. Preacher, does
not Solomon somewhere say, that there
is nothing better than that man should
eat and drink, and enjoy The good of his
Iabour? Yes, of has labour, but not of
the labour Of Others. Mark the distinc-
ton
Your good cheer gentry are not the
most remarkable for their labour; aud
they are not always SO G tied to the ex-
pense" of good cheer, but that they some-
times break away aud leave others " tied
to the expense thereof
All the good things we enjoy 10 eating,
drinking aud clothing, are the fruits Of
labour, with the blessing Of God upon
them. They come from the earth--the
earth to be made productive must be cuI-
tivated. This requires labour.
We pass to the remaining part Of our
subject.
Be not made beggar by bangneting
upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing
in thy purse"
This comes home 10 our purpose. But
why are we in greater danger Of becoming
beggars Shy banqueting upon bOrTowing"
Answer. Because 10 that case we realize
aud expend what We have not yet earned.
1t comes easily-it goes easily. The man
who acquires good cheer or any other
good thing by his own industry and la
bour, makes more correct estimate Of
the value of it, and enjoys more in the
use of it.
Borrowing is really 10 itself species
of begging; but at the present day very
fashionable. We borrow Of the banks
we borrow Of other public Institutions
we borrow Of indivaiaais, aud, indeed,
wherever we can, we borrow. First we
borrow money-when that's out, we bor-
row credit; and when that fails, we've
what why We beg in good earnest, if
not too much ashamed Hard times! hard
times! alas, what shall we do?
IMPROVEMENT.
Go to work. All of us have something
to do. Bestow your time and talents upon
some honest and profitable employment
live 'uithin the bounds of your income
borrow less-banquet Iess-visit less, but
labour more. The fault is not in the
times, but in ourselves. Who among us
remembers better season than the pres
ent? More abundant crops? More uni
versal peace and tranquility
For shame then, my friends, talk no
more Of hard times until you have re-
formed yourselves aud when that period
arrives the times will be better.

OLIVER HAZARD PERRY.
One of our naval heroes, and first in
the annals of American history who gain

OLIVER HAZARD PERRY, is no
more! There seems something deficient
in a character, however illustrious, until
it receives the conservation OF death.
However eminent a man may be for his
talents or for his virtues--distinguished by
his public or private services--luminous
with intellect, renowned for bravery, or
adorned by the less dazzling, but more
endearing qualities of the heart ; however
much beloved by his friends, or idolized
by his country, respected both at home and
abroad, still while he lives, envy will at
tempt to pull him down from the lofty
column Of public admiration which forms
his pedestal, to the humble platform on
which he stands. But when death touch

and the mustangs, or wild horses-I de-
sisted, and about 10 o'clock, A. when
some of these mustangs, vita which this
Prairie abounds, came TO drink, ne Faised
his tail and fastened it on the neck Of o
large horse. Ii appeared that the TAN OF
This animal possessed the faculties Of the
proboscis Of an elephant; for with it be
circulated twice the neck of the horse,
and at the same time seized large tree
with his fore feet; the horse pitched and
founded tremendously; but inthe end he
was choaked aud killed. The animal then
turned to him and devoured most OF him
at meal. He afterwards withdrew, when
| had an opportunity to descend to measure
the distance from the rock on which he
hal placed his chin to the tree, which was
fifty-three feet the diameter Of his body
in the largest part appeared at least a l.2
or 5 feet. He was OF dark brown or
rusty black color. dis tail from tue hind
legs appeared somewhat larger than from
thence TO the end of the nose; his head
was about the same proportion as that OF
az alligator, but his bind legs we're consid-
erabIy longer than his fore CUES.
When he went off he folded his tail
over his back, which discovered 10 me
that his whole force and action lay ia this
part for both offensive aud defensive ope-
rations. enquired if any other animal
of the same description had been seen,
aud was told there had not; that this had
come from the northwest on one OF the
mead branches of the Rio del Norte: that
he was never seen to attack any other an
imal than mustang, and thai be had been
fred upon without effeet--since wnich
have seen Spaniard by aame OF Don Pc
dro de Dois, who observed him and marked
his actions for three days, all which are
similar to what | have described. The
animal is not more strange than curious IN
natural history. Knowing you to be
man OF taste, have been minute in this
description. II required will give my
affidavit of what have written aud will

sons.

to gull the public, all the northern stories

rior claims upon their admiration.

MORE WONDERS IN NATURE.

A letter dated Oct. goth, at the camp
among the Camanches, has. been publish
ed at Natchez, Nov. 2Ist-aud the gen.
tleman who received it, vouches for the
veracity of the writer. 1t describes a
monstrous animal sui-generis, which has
been discovered in the Spanish province
Of Texas. The author, upon the report oil
two Chiefs of the tribe of Lapanas, in
August last, visited the place, the Prairie
Of the Grand Spring, where this tremend-
GUS monster, the Caiman de Terra, was
said to have been seen. On the I'd Of Sep
TENDER they arrived aud saw nothing
but on the next, the writer discovered a
motion among the reeds and bushes; and not
many minutes elapsed before he made his
appearance. He approached the spring,
and drank by tapping; after which he re-
tired small distance and partly secreted
himself; he placed his under jaw, or chin
on a smooth rock, aud being extended a.
full length, his tail reached tree which
in this country is called bois dare. /

firing down the precipice where / stood,

AGRICULTURAL.

Ectroct from an address deEOered
before the Esse;r (MaSs.) Agri-
cultural Society, in May last,
By the Hon. Timothy Pickering.
In order to encourage the pro-
curing and propagating of i'm
proved breeds of cattle, sheep, and
swine, the Trustees of the State
Society of Agriculture have insti-
tuted an annual show Of these ami
mails, and given premiums for
those deemed the best. view it
as available institution.-But with
great Difference ] would inquire,
whether giving rewards for the Big
gest and the latest, is the best
mode of obtaining the most valua-
BILE breeds. Blackwell, the English
celebrated breeder of cattle, sheep,
and swine, exercised his genius to
produce such as were excellent in
form, of sufficient size, which
