POETRY.
SELF ADVICE.

Command thysef, no sudden answer give,
With zeal do good, for that alone you live;
To know the worth of time, remember DEATH
Thy life is short and passing is thy breath.
Be sober minded-wear alook serene;
Act before God, although by men unseen;
Speak not in vain, nor foolshly depart
From gentle words, and purity of hearts
To truth and charity, and peace nclin'd,
With caution censure, or applaud mankind;
Seek knowledge fair, but shun insipid mirth;
There is no time for folly while on earth
Feed no i'll will--no sudden friendship make,
Betray no trust-no obligation break.
Whatever you neglect to this attend;
Pity the poor, and be the strangers friend;
Promise with heed-weigh every action right
And scan the conduct of each day at night
Instructed by past falings to be wise,
Let every wish from purest fountains rise
In talk secure-pursue the steady plan,
For action shows the noblest part of man.
Act with relation to the future state,
Retort no slander-render love for hate,
Devotion, friendship, and philosophy
Shall conquer death, and thou shalt never die.
Death cannot hurt but grant release,
From pain and trouble, to eternal peace.
And hast thou read o vain, inconstant man I,
Read it once more and fault it if you can.
Now calmly lay thine hand upon thine heart,
And say, from this never will depart"
Edwardsville spectator. [volume] (Edwardsville, Ill.) 1819-1826, 1823-04-19

for these serious consequences Are
you ready to wage war against the laws
of the United States
Since the preceding was written, we
have received a New-Orleans paper of
the soth January, in which itappears that
on the 2eth, the senate passed the follow
ing resolution Northumberland so the
controversy is at an end, for the present
Whereas certain resolution had been
introduced into the Senate, to call in
question the right Of that part of Florida
which is annexed to this state to be repre-
sented in the senate ofthe state: Resolv-
ed, that the right cannot be questioned,
inasmuch as it is guaranteed by a solemn
compact between the United States and
this state"
Each party receded-that which got
up the original resolution for expulsion,
and the other which required its oblitera-
ton from the journal. Niles Reg.

LOUISIANA.

A motion has been made in the senate
of this state to expel certain members
from that body, on this ground--that the
parishes of Feliciana, Eastern Baton
Rouge, Washington, St. Helena and
Tammany form no part Of the state Of
Louisiana The district OF country in
Guided in these parishes, was formerly
a part of what was called West Florida,
but added by congress, in the same law,
we believe, that convertcoktae territory
of Orleans into an independent state by
the name of Louisiana. The population
Of those parishes was returned in the Of
fetal census of 1910 as in Louisiana, and
the people thereof have paid taxes ever
since the organization of the state, as CO.
tizens OF the same-no person before
dreamt that they were otherwise than an
integral part Of the state.
The motion above alluded to was Of
fered on the Esd of January last, and
made the order of the day for the lst OF
Feb. We are not yet advised of the de-
cision, but it seems that proposition to
expunge the offensive resolution from
the journal, had been postponed for three
days-which shews that a majority was
disposed to favor the project.
This strange matter appears to grow
out of the contentious between what we
must call, for the sake Of distinction, the
american and French interest in this
state, which have proceeded to very UNI
happy lengths. The population Of the
aforesaid parishes is chiefly American,
and the French party seems to have ia
ken this summary mode to obtain COM
plete ascendancy in the legislature.
On this subject one Of the papers has
ri1c following romarks: Should the
senate have tho temeri,y to pass the reso-
luton Diminishing tho Florida senators, il
willtermiaate our political organic alton |;
should they violate the laws Of the Con-
gress Of the United States, solemnly ac-
coded to by the government Of Louisiana,
we are at once involved in civil war.
The moment these senators are dismiss-
ed, eur political compact is annuIled !;
the law Of force becomes substituted for
it, and their last farewell to the senate
will be but the precursor Of anarchy.

meeting of the mtthodisls was holding
in the courthouse, in Franklin, Pa. an
explosion took place in the ground IN

four inches, the walls splitting from top

which the congregation rushed out OF
the house, woman and two children
were considerably bruised.
