REDWOOD.

II is owing TO the frailty of human nature,
that fable should have been found necessary
and convenient vehicle of truth. We must,
however, take human nature as il is, with all
ITS beauties and determines.
Productions of novelists are constantly issu-
ing from the press, many Of which, are emf
nently calculated to corrupt the better feel
Ings OF the heart-to stimulate the passions.
to create disrelish for history, and all which
is substantial in science and literatuie-to call
off the attention from nature aud truth in all
their loveliness land to fill the mind with ex-
travagant notions, and too often with unhal
lowed propensities. There are others, which
are friendly good taste, good sentiments, aud
good Notwithstanding the spirit Of virtue,
philanthropy and exhibiting ma.
ture in her most godiike forms, the human
character in all its secret windngs, and sci
ence and literature with all their scduciug
charms.
The late work Of Miss s. was taken up with
an uncommon degree of internst, and perused
to the last page with many OF those feelings
the writer has experienced, while reading the
hest of the Waverly novels. Her styleis pure
and chaste, the incident is good though not
deep, the prominent characters are wei! draw n
and well supported. Miss S. exhibits in her
writings much to interest, much 10 admire,
and much to amuse. Still there are faults !;
faults too of such character, as TO throw
shade over the excellencics Of the work. One
OF the most glazing is, that infdelity which is
interviewer into almost every page Of her book
When the readers feelings are wrought up 10
high degree Of excitement, when the magic
of fiction enters into the secret chambers Of
his soul, moulding il al its will then il is that
thepoison ofinfdelity is infused into the heart,
comupting its moral cxcelencies. II is a
source of deep regret that good writers should
attempt to ennoble vice by the charms Of vir-
tue, or to screen contempt for things sacred,
under the broad mantle OF philosophy. Should
Miss 5, stretch forth her powerful hands 10 the
lmpotent IN virtue, = should she, like Miss
Edgeworth, shew Us, ''not vices ennobled by
virtues, but virtues, degraded aud perverted
by their union with viccs''--hcr success would
have be- greater.
Should she throw into her works more Of
that versatility Of talent which she evidently
possesses, they would excite a much higher
degree of interest. Paris iy a pleasant city
without its promenadcs but its Tuileries,
Gardens, IFS Boulevards, and is Champs Ely
sees make il one Of the most splendid cities ip
the world.
The lovers Of fiction, however, will unite in
pronouncing REDWOOD superior to the NciO
England TUE. They will unite in their con-
CALCULATIONS 10 Miss $. for the happy efforts
she has made in works OF fancy. Compared
with American novels, Redwood il like a
green and delightful spot in wide extended
landscape. Alb.

IMPORTANT RuMouR.

We learn from the Alexandra Her.
aid, that very extraordinary report is
in circulation at Washington, as TO the
causes Of the late disasters, experien.
ced by the Patriots in South America.
II is saidthat 6 a Royalist general, (prob-
ably Canterac) by certain means obtain
ed admittance on board of one of our
ships of the Iine-and was frequently
afforded an opportunity Of going ashore
as common sailor, in which situation
he was enabled TO ascertain the precise
situation and condition Of The patriots.
Having understood, that the black troops
at one Of the fortresses were in a state
Of disquietude, owing TO the backward
ness OF their pay, he succeeded in brib-
ing them with large sums of money, OF
which heis said to have been quite law
ish, TO revolt, which they did, in the
course of a night, and thus the Royal
lists, by previous concert, gained posses
sion of the place with but little difficult
IT,"
"The commander Of the "a was in
formed, while on shore,by Bolivar, that
if caught again from his vessel he should
be instantly hung. On requiring an ex-
PLANTATION of this threat, lie was referred
TO his government, on his arrival at
home. OF the strict correctness of the
foregoing we pretend not to know. We
give the report just as we heard il from
almost every body's mouth. We for
bear TO give any further particulars,
upon such authority, as the subject must
in time, come before the public, in prop
er form; nor should we have noticed il
thus far, did we not believe that we
have only done what others would soon
er or later do. Suffice il now to say, il
is also rdmoured, that lady is in the
case"
Since the case of Lieut.. Weaver was
made public, many persons entertain
the opinion, that there has been consid-
cradle money-nIaking in those seas, by
certain American officers but we can
not listen for moment TO report.
which, if founded on fact, is so dan,"a-

States. W. Statesman.

TO PURIFY RANCID BUTTER.

It's said that rancid butter may be purified
and made perfectly sweet by working it over
thoroughly in new milk. We do not know
from our own observation whether it will have
that effect, but are assured that person who
has followed marketing several years has
made profitable business by buying bad
butter and purifying it in this way. The ex-
pertinent is worth making.

that roasting ears of Corn are beginning to be
plenty in that place. From that it would ap-

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

At the last election in New York, the great
er part Of the members were chosen under a
pledge of supporting law. giving the choice
of Electors of President TO the people, that
having been made the test of their eligibility,
and without such pledge they could not
have been elected. At the last session, an
act was introduced and passed by the Lowell
House, hut received the go-by in the Senate
under a pretence that proposals for amending
the Constitution, so as to make the mode of
choosing electors uniform, was then before
Congress and would probably be passed. This
expectation not having been realized, the Le-
gislature has been specially called together
by the Governor, for the purpose of passing
the electoral law, and commenced their Ses-
sion on the Cd inst. The managers had pre-
concerted a plan for adjourning Immediately,
and passing vote of censure on the Governor
for converting them. Resolutions to this eff.
feet were, accordingly, introduced simultane.
ously, in both Houses and passed in the Gem
ate by large majority. In the House, how
ever,they were destined to different fate. AZ.
ter an animated debate, during which the
friends and opponents of the resolutions were
alternately Kissed and cheered from the gale
ries, they were ordered to lie on the table by a
majority of nineteen votes. A disposition has
been manifested to continue in session till the
Senate shall have acted on the electoral law,
which passed the House last winter, and Civ
en- direct vote on it, either to pass or reject
it. What the result may be, it is impossible
TO conjecture.

LIFE'S "A DREAM.

Our Life at bestis but dream,
A transient meteor, hyiDgI
Whstever we enjoy therein,
Loses its zest by dying.
The bliss It gives, tho e'er so bright
With pain and griefis blended
And whilst it glit,ers in the sight,
Our short lived joy is ended.
The mind pursues the earth around,
In search Of lasting treasure
Bot does she find her labor crown'j
With one substantial pleasure
Still anxious and upsstisfed
With what she now possesse'
She's pleased. amused. and of derides
The object she caresses.
The only happiness on earth
To US poor mortals given,
Is TO be born Of Hesveny birth.
And taste the joys OF Heaven.
