The Sword-fish and the Whale are
said never to meet without coming to
battle; and the former has the repute
of being always the aggreSsor. Some
times two of them join against one
Whale in which case the combat is by
no means equal. The Whale uses his
tail only in his defence he dives down
into the water head foremost, and makes
such blow with it, that, if it takes eff
feet, finishes the sword-fsh at stroke
but the other, who in general is suffi-
cientIy adroit TO avoid it, Immediately
falls upon the whale, and buries his
weapon in bis sides. When the Whale
discovers the Swogd-fsh darting upon
him, he dives to the bottom, but is close
ly pursued by his antagonist, who COM
pels him again TO rise to the surface.
The battle then begins afresh, and lasts
till the sword-fsh loses sight of the
whale, who is at length. compelled to
swim of,which bis superior agility allows
him TO do. 10 the sword-ish piercing
the whales body with the tremendou:
weapon at his snout, he seldom doe:
any great damage to the animal, frou
not being able to penetrate much be-
yond the blubber.

Some months ago we published paragraphs
from the National intelligence and NschiIo
ches Courier, relative to the assassination at
the latter place Of Spotswood Mills, Esq for
merly OF this county. The following extracts
Of letters. addressed to Mr.. Joseph Mills,
father of The deceased, give a more satisfactory
account Of that affecting event. We have
also seen the Nachitoches Courier, which de.
tails the circumstances connected with this
borrid affair. That paper represents Provost
as being possessed of"qusrrelsome and virdic-
tive habits, which. strengthened by state Of
almost constant chriety, rendered him obnox-
ions to his neighbors." The same paper
states that. on tho application Of several per,
sons, Mr.. Mills had, as magistrate. issued a
warrant for the apprehension Of Provost, for
some violent conduct in the pcighborhood.
This was the only offence for which he assas-
sinatcd Mr.. NJ On his trial the evidence was
irresistible, and the jury brought in a verdict
Of guilty. When sentence was about 10 be

"54 TO FRIENDSHIP,

10 FhiEIsDoIllT'
Thou sharer Of an angels smile;
Thou, who canst human woes beguilc,
And dry the Widows tear;
O come from thy cerulean sky,
And wine the dew.drop from this eye:
Come heavenly friendship dear.
Thine is the task TO hull our care,
And hush the rawlings of despair;
Yea, stop the tide of grief.
Thv soothing voice bids bosoms glow;
Thy song can still the storm of woe,
And give wretch relief.
When Pity, heavcn-born maid, aloud
Descended thro' the billowy cloud,
To shed her tears on eartll,
Thy grove she sought, to pour her woes.
Which thou at every sorrow'd close,
Converted into mirth.
Dear FnYESDsH1p, oft in secret, I
Have wish'd to hear thy raptui'd sigh.
And dwell upon thy breast.
All language fails, compar'd TO thee:
Thou art all love-all sympathy
And with thee all are blest.
The slave that tlrags the calling chain;
The sea-boy tost upon the main;
Or those far doomd to roam
MI turn the eye to Thy dear grove.
And back with thee they wish to rove
Friendship Of sweet home!
Where Ger we roam-where e'er we stray,
If thou but light'st the dreary way,
No care can dare intrude.
Each bosom feels thy kind embrace,
Each eve beams forth thy winning grace.
And glanccs gratitude.
And cen when raging fevers reign,
And death distracts the burning brain,
Fast sinking to the dead;
Thy breast the softcst pillow yields.
For him thy generous nature feels,
And holds his dying head.

to his chosen people--there is no credit IN ma
king such people apostates. Every human law
derives its origin from the Jews--to them IS the
moral world indebted for the foundation Of mo-
rality--the knowledge of a God, of virtue, JUS
tce; and the hope Of everlasting life.
"But suppose the Jews should become con,
verts to Christianity, what sect shall they JON,
If they become converts it IS likely they wouia
become Catholics, for that is the primitive
Christian faith and withal is an imposing religion.
Should they turn Catholics they would be brand.
ed as followers of the 'Pope and the Devil"
and should they adopt the Presbyterian or Epls-
copaIian doctrines the Catholics will call them
hcretics-so that in this age OF conversion, the
Jews will be as unfortunate as they were III the
early ages, when the Romans prosecuted them
as Christians, and the Christians oppressed them
as Jews"
