For some miles before the stage reached
Major Gholson's, the old Lady appeared
much exhausted and had rested againt her
husband. When the stage stopped LIFE
WAS EXTINCT, and SO merciful had been the
that neither groan or motion
had indicated the awful moment
The unfortunate survivor is named Mont
gomery, and the brave General of that name,
who fell at Quebec, was his paternal cousin.
We hear from Hayti that the new emf
grants arc liable to suffer more from their
own dispositions than they arc from the CT
tizens of that island. Many embark with an
idea that they are to live without labour--
that they are to be made republican lords,
and to be supported by the industry OF others.
Finding all their golden visions of idleness
dissolved into thin air, they write home me
lancholy accounts, or procure others TO write
for them, and thus labor to dishearten fuI Their
emigration to Hayti. II is time to lay aside
such childish ideas, AND that our black popu-
lation should look upon labor as the lot i'm
posed upon man bv his Creator, whether
slaves or frecmen. kingsand Emperors and
Presidents and Generals, are all compelled
to labor, and it would be wonderful indeed if
the citizens of Hayti were exempt from the
curse imposed by the Almighty upon Adam.

coarse looking Pennsylvania farmer with a
florid face and short, SANDY hair. His dress
is often slovenly, but his mind is sturn and
vigorous, and when much excited, he utters

point. Nothing can be more dissonant than
his voice or more odd and awkward than his
gestculation. wondered when / first saw
him how such a man ever came on the floor
of Congress, where he certainly seemed a
sort Of a nomaly; but afterwards ceased
to wonder; and considering the republican
complexion of our institutions and habits, it Is
not surprising that man with an amount OF
spirit which approaches TO turbulence, a
strong voice, vehement manner, German
tongue, and long habits of political contest,
should at length make his way to this floor,
from State like Pennsylvania. They say
he is a prime shot with rifle, and breads
nothing.-Should this unhappy business end
in the arbitrement Of "honor" FALSELY cal

A year or two since, an enterprlsing far

it occurred to Jonathan, that this large turnip
which was the marvel OF the whole town ant
country, ought to be turned to some bette

His neighbours all learned his good fortune
