The worlds bubble and tue life OF man
Less than span.

So 10 the tomb,
hurst from his cradle, and bro'tup to years,
With cares and fears.
Who then to frail mortality shall trust,
But hymns in water, or but writes in dus',
Yet whilst with sorrow here we live oppTes,
What life is best?
Courts are but only superficial schools,
To dandle fools;
The rural part is turned into den
Of savage men;
And where's city from vice so free,
But may be term'd the worst Of all toe

Domestic cares affect the husbands bec'
Or pains his head.
Those that live single take ii for curse
Or do things worse;
These would have children, those th1t have
them, none,
Or wish them gone;
What is it, then, 10 have, or have no WIFE,
But single thraldom, or double STRIFE

TRIAL FOR swIHDLING.


Before the city court last week. came on
the trial of David f Giryin and WIN. Bar
ker, who were indicted Tor obtaining sixty
dollars of William Wilson Ivy false pre,en.
ces. The testimony was of a nature to sa-
tisfy every man who heard it, of the guilt
of the defendants. The jury after few
minutes returned verdict of gully, with
out leaving their box. On Thursday at
ternoon they were sentenced TO six months
imprisonment, and to pay fine OF one
hundred dollars each. They had prevl-
ously been convicted of gaming and sem
fenced to pay fine Of seventy dollars each,
and to give security tor their good beiiavI-
or for one year in the sum OF five hundred
dollars each.
Cincinnati has been infested with gang
of these gentry for several months past, and
it is hoped the result of these trials will
have a salutary tendency.

IuSCutOOsu, \s1' = - wy -
By gentleman from Tombecbee we are
informed that General Jackson has written
TO Mehuleetubbee, head chief Of one II the
three grand divisions of the Chactaw nation,
through the interpreter Peachland, request
ing them to meet him at time and place
specified, (when or where our informant
did not learn) to hold conference on the
subject of the sale of that part OF their ma
ton to the United States. When our IN
formant left there Mehuleeiubbee and
Peachand WERE on tour through the dis
trict to consult the other chiefs and head
men on the subject; and the opinion was
almost universal among the whites in the
neighborhood, that the district will be ce-
ded to the United States either by sale or
by exchange of lands on the Arkansaw-
though not Immediately.
We learn from another source. that de-
putation of the Cbactaw nation visited
the country on the Arkansaw, with view
of such an exchange, and have made very
favorable report both of the country and
quantity ofgame. In consequence OF which
a great number Of the Chactaws have ex-
pressed willingness to exchange with the
United States on the same terms as those
granted to the Cherokees. The district
embraces the military crossing on The Besk-
bee, where it has lately been determined,
the great federal road from Nashville to
New. Orleans shall cross that river.

parents shert time since, Under pfeteics
of going to New-York, for the purpose OF
getting into better buslness--his father
gave him l4O dollars to defray his expen-
ces. Instead Of going south he went north
to place called Slab city, near Miss'sque
bay, where he purchased 100 dollars OF
bad money for 10 good, and the vendors
made him present Of 40 dollars more
Having -eple,ished his pockets he went TO
st. Johns. and passed one of his 10 dollar
notes-Suspiclon was excited-his money
examined, and while measures were going
on to arrest him he was assisted OH, Ter
which he gave 80 dds, in good money.
He came from Chazy and from thence
to this place. He rode with the mai! car
rier and WHEN arrived he requested him TO
get two OF his 10 dollar notes exchanged
for Plattsburgh bills, saying that he wish
ed to get some specie from the Bank. They
were accordingly pr sented at store
where boy was attending, and exchanged.
The bills were Immediately shown 10
person who detected them, and who, after
questioning the mail carrier and his paSsen-
ger, called on magistrate who examined
Watson, and drew from him an acknow-
ledgment of the manner in which ne ha d
been led along in the business, &c.
Watson is about 22 years OF age, well
dressed and apparently well bred. He
has recommendations from persons OF re-
spectabiIity and he affects to be much dis
tressed in anticipating the pangs which a
knowledge of bis situation will cause his
parents and relations. He requested the
magistrate not to disclose his name, but he
has himself given his name to several per-
sons.
The above counterfeit Bills are so well
executed that the best judges of money
might be deceived by them, they compare
remarkably well with the true bills.
In the bills that we have seen, the period
at No. was omitted in the plate. and was
supplied with pen: the capital 6. in the
Cashiers name looks more like an S than
on the true bills. and the paper has more
of bIueish cast. In tbs figure of man on
the monument, the counte'ieils have light
shade quite around the neck, whereas in
the true bills the collar Of the coat covers
and gives a dark shade to the back part OF
the neck. The face OF the engraving ge-
neralIy has not quite as smooth an appear
ance as that on the true bills All OF the
letter B,
