TWO CROPS IN A SEASON.

A late London paper mentions, that " in
several orchards on the Clyde, second crop
Of pears was early in September in consi-
derabIe state OF forwardness."
We have ourselves eaten Of two distinct
crops of water melons, this season, from the
same vines. The first crop ripened late in
August, and the second early in October
The second crop set about the time the first
was gathered. These melons grew in gar
den in Greenwich, Connecticut; and we be-
lieve that Of 60 or 80 hills, there was not one,
that did not produce a second and distinct
crop. The vines continued comparatively
aourishing until they were killed by frost

,MR. CHEvES.

Mr.. CHEVES.
The following deserving and elegant COM
pliment to Mr.. Cheves, is copied from the
Eulogium pronounced by VIM. Gratis, esq
on Col. Heating Lewis Simons.
There was an humble youth, without ia
m;lv. fortune or favor, who broke through
the shadows of obscurity, and by the light
of his talents, virtue and industry, came TO
shine upon US with cheerful lustre' "h'e
some were picking up pebbles on the sea-
shore, and others gazing idly on the pillows,
he was climbing, unassisted, from cliffto cliff
ND the rocky prscipice Of renown, whose
towering heights seemed to frown upon. but
could not intimidate him. He mastered them
all, aud his native stale enjoyed the fruit and
the honor of bis labor. But, as be rose, I'M
fortunately foru US, he became more consplcu-
Gus. Born for wider horizon, he was de-
handed for a larger sphere, and South Caro-
lima gave him 70 the wishes of the Union,
with pride and with reluctance. When Mr.,
Cheves was thus taken from his high Judicial
station among US, the eyes Of the state in
stantly turned towards Heating Lewis Simons,
as 10 kindred mind and spirit, to wear his
honored robes; and the Inject Virgil occur
red to every one" uao ara!so non sefcit al
ssr." They bad been contemporary at toe
bar, and in he legislature, enjoying equally
the esteem Of each other and OF the public.
Like Glaucus and Diomed, they were friend
" even in their contests-each OF them APP
pearing anxious to yield the triumph to his
opponent. The youth of our city locked up
10 them both as models and instructors. Now,
alas they have lost them both.
The'absent may be eulogized as well as
the dead but il is not with any view TO
praise, but merely to give 10 a good action
whatever little circulation this feeole memo
rial may afford it, that relate one of the in
stances Of the high-minded generosity OF Mr.
Cheyes, in his profession. Having under
stood that young member OF the bar was "a
bout to make his debut in an insurance case,
on the opposite side to Mr. Cheres-that gen
.!eman waited on him, and expressing much
interest in bis success, rendered TO him his
own notes, containing his arguments and au-
thorities, that be might, if possible, antici-
pate and reply TO them-thus sweetly lending
his own learning and labor to the youthful
necessities OF his friend.
Anxious to mingle with the memorial OF
Mr.. Simons the fragrance of every virtue,
have thus sndeavored to unite the names Of
those, who were alike worthy the affection,
which each bore TO The other"

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE.

II is observed Of public and private life,
HAT man lives in one case to his country, in
TIE other to himself; the one is life OF
thought, the other Of action. And both are

il is fine thing to be talking Of il in good
company which comprises the cofhIoris OF

Accounts from Wurtzburg say, that on the
night Of the 9Th, the windows of the houses
inhabited by Jews were broken, at Somme-
rach and Rimpon. In this last town, the po-
pulace, not content with breaking the win
dows of The synagogue, penetrated into the
interior, and destroyed every thing that ser.
we'd for the exercise OF the Jewish worship.
Besides the dispatches brought by a couri-

The latest accounts from Chill are to the
last OF June, published in Buenos Ayres Ga
zettes 10 the I4tb of August, received at N.
York. Nothing of great moment had tran
spired. Admiral Cochraae had returned to
Valparaiso, where The main force of the ma
Wy of Chill was re. united, and ready to sail
for the Pacific. During the cruise of the
Admiral, he had landed at several places on
the coast of Lima, and met with little or no
opposition. At Puita he took all the sup
plies and munitions of war at that depart
ment and publicly before the inhabitants,
he punished some excuses committed by four
foreign sailors.
The following letter from Admiral Coch-
rane is published in the papers, and exhibits
the apparent devotedness of his Lordship's
zeal in the cause of the Independents.

which must be paid when heaven may please
