HONESTY.

All are not just because they do no wrong,
He is the truly just. lpraise not them.
Who, in their petty dealings, pilfer not;
But him whose conscience spurns a secret fraud
When he might plumber and defy surprize;
His be the praise, who. looking down with scorn
On the false Judgment of the partial herd,
Consalts his own clear heart, and boldly dares
To be, not to be thought, an honest man.

SPANISH HERoIsM.

An authentic ADJ cds + related by Captain
ho'ff, who served in Spain, in Iegi-
rnent Of infantry Of the guard Of Jerome.
the ex-kihg OF Wtstpialla.
Fatigued and exhausted by forced mar
ches, the regiment TO which Capt. korif
belonged, arrived before the monastery Of
Figuenas 10 Spain. The colonel OF the
regiment, Frenchman, sent i'll an officer
to demand OF the prior the necessary re-
freshmen for the men, as we'll as Tor the
staff consisting of about 20 officers. he
prior with some of the monks came out 10
meet the general, assured him that the liz
fabitants Of Figaeiras would provide Tor
the soldiers, but that he himself would
prepare frugal meal for the staff. The
prior's offer was accepted; Capt. kortt
received from the general some commits
sions for the regiment, and about an hour
afterwards it was announced TO the prior,
thatwhe dinner was served up in the re-
fec,ery of the monastery. The general,
who was aware that the French 10 Spain
had reason TO be on their guard in eating
and drinking what was offered by the ma
tives, invited the prior to dine with them !;
he, and two other monks, accepted The in
vitatioD in such manner as TO leave no
doubt that he felt himself much flatlered
by it. Alter the officers had taken their
seats the prior said grace, carved, eat Of
every dish first, and with his two breth-
rem, who poured out the wine, drank plen-
tifully with his guests. II was not till TO-
wards the end of the repast, that Captain
Kof returned, having been detained by
the commissions of the general longer than
he expected. During that interval, he
had found an opportunity TO take some re-
freshment, and only participated in the
lively conversation of the company, hosts
as well as guests at the monastery. The
general in particular, expressed his salts.
faction 10 the prior, whose kind reception
had passed all expectation. Suddenly,
however, the cheerfulness of the prior was
changed into profound seriousness; he
rose from his seat, thanked the company
for the honor they had done him, and con-
cluded with asking if any of them had af-
fairs to settle in This world? adding. with |
emphasis, :" this, gentlemen, is the last meal
you and | shall take on earth; 10 an hour
We shall all be before the Judgment Seat
Of God!'' Cold trembling horror seized
the amazed guests, for the prior and his
two monks had poisoned the wine in which
they had pledged the French officers; all
the aDtidotes given by the French physi-
clan we're in vain: in less than an hour
every man of them had ceased to live.

greatest recommendation is its price, the
expense OF the carriages will not be great,
and think the cost of erecting the rail-
ways will not exceed $1,000 per mile, per-
baps not SO much; and though they have
a tendency to decay, and will have to be
rebuilt, yet they will be much cheaper
than good turnpike roads, as they will re-
quire no annual repairs. The inventor is

A letter from Cadiz. received by the
Editor of the Norfolk Herald, announces,
that Don Onis was appointed, early in De-
cember, Minister Plenipotentiary TO Rus
sis. The same letter mentions that orders
had been issued to embark 900 men for
Caracas, TO relieve Gen. Morllo. The
King had appropriated to this expedition
considerable portion of his private rev.
enue. Considerable activity prevailed on
board The convoy and transports; aud it
was believed the troops would embark as
soon after the fever should subside, as they
could be brought in from the county,
The naval force at Cadiz consisted OF five
line of battle ships, five frigates, seven or
eight sloops and brigs, and fifty gun yes
sells, carrying each two "a Founders, be-
sides number of transports, most of
which, however, required considerable re-
pairs before they could be fit for service.
They are represented as being badly
manned, and otherwise deficient.
Al extract Of letter, published in the
Post Of last evening, states that General
Wives, The new Spanish Minister had re-
ceived his instructions, and had proceed

Remarkable Spring. We have hither-
10 said nothing about an oil spring, which
was discovered, about three years ago, on
Duck creek, Morgan county, while boring
for salt water. This spring yields an in-
exhsustibIe supply Of pure oil. II is a
tclerabIe substitute for fish oil aud is con-
siderabIy used in cnrrying leather II
quite answers the purposes Of spermaceti
oil for lamps; it is used in various kinds
Of medicines. We are not Informed
whether it can be used in paints. But
there is no doubt that it is discovery OF
invaluable importance. We should like
10 hear some chemical disqusition Of its
properties from some gentlemen in the
neighbourhood. Said oil is sold at the
low price of SO cents per gallon, and for
less by the barrel. This spring may have
been publicly described but if SO, proba-
bly, some others may have been as forgeiful
as ourselves about it, and will be glad to
hear Of any acquisition to our internal
wealth.
