We have the pleasure of seeing a
box OF miniature Cutlery, presented
to the President of the United States
by the manufacturer, Mr.. PooLy of
New-Y ,rk. The box contains two
dozen Dinner and Dessert knives and
forks, with their corresponding Car
wing knives and forks and two stecls,
two pen knives, two pair of razors:
and a pair OF scissors: one ofthe pen.
knives has u tortoise shell handle; all
the other articles have pearl handles,
and are mos exquisiteiv flushed. 1t
may give some idea OF the minuteness
ofthe work to state, the largest knives
weigh 6 grains each, the dessert
knives 3 grains--the scissors not quite
tho tenths of a grain; and the weight
OF all the pieces together is less than
ten dpts. Mr.. PooIy is a very young
man, and worked as a journeymln
cutler when these beautiful specimens
OF his ingenuity were executed. They
certainly do great credit to bis skill as
an artist, and though useless in them
selves, are evidence of the high per
fiction to which this species Of mann
iac,ure has been brought in our coun
try.-Nuf .Iour

We have before us a letter OF a re-
cent date, from a vcrv respectable and
intelligent planter Of South Carolina,
from which we extract The following
passages:
"Fhe most enlightened people in
this state, are in general we'll %
ciled to the election OF Mr.. Adams,
although General Jackson was the ia
vorite ofthe majority o fits inhabitants
Mr.. Adams IS deemed I most able
statesman and accomplished scholar,
and his message auguss well, and in
spires confidence. Mr.. Clay will ne
yer be very popular here, as he is be
lieved to be too much ofa Tariff man.
The commercial and agricultural in
terests OF this section OF the Union are
in a very prosperous concition. Slaves
have taken a great rise, along with
cotton and rice. The value Of prime
negro laborers is almost as great as il
was ten years ago. The resolutions
of Mr. King and Mr.. Tucker, offer.
ed TO Congress, are considered here
as nearly chimericaI. As long as the
Southern articles of produce shall com.
mand a good price, negro slaves will
not only be valuable, hut necessary to
their owners. The w inter in Caro-
lima has been mild but wet; the spring
is favourable to vegetation, and more
beneficial to invalids than the winter
was"

shall tell you
A pretty tale; it may be you have heard it,
But as 1t serves my purpose, will venture
10 scalet little more.
CoRIoLANUs, Act l, Scene 1st.
In ancient times, the valley of Linlithglen was the
residence Of many individuals, some of whom rank
ed among the flowers of Scottish nobility. 1t was
situated near the borders of Scotland and from its
vicinity, rather, it should be sad from its open
to the attacks and pillages of the Border ri
ders, who in those days were numerous and bold,
the castles of such mobiles were strongly built, and
fortified in manner which would effectuay secure
them from enemies of any character-one cas-
tie in particular, seemed admirably calculated to
withstand the shock of battles seyerer than those in
which Banditti would be likely to engage. 1t stood
on an eminence surrounded by meats, and guarded
At all points, in manner which gave it more the
pearance of military garrison than the residence
of the ancient Lairds of LinIithglen; the last of
which noble clan, Malcolm Dhu Linlth, there re,
sided at the period when the event more particu-
arly hereafter TO be noticed, franspred. This
Lard was then far advanced in years, but his vigo-
rous constitution, his ruddy complexion, and up
right form, gave him the appearance Of more youth

old Maude, his housekeepcr, "that many winter,

do most tenderly love fl can gam her affections,
could you bear to look on me as your son-in-law >
If not will leave Glen-Creran tonight" He spoke
with great emotion, although suppressed for to be
pted, and even esteemed, still far different in
deed from being received son into the family
whose dearest peace he had been the means of
breaking He waited in terror for the first words
Of tine reply, and they at raised up his soul in
TO heaven OF JOY. ''lf saw you married to my
Mary, then could lay down my head in peace. I

upon him with pleasant countenance, and an en-
couragng smile only daughters heart is free
and it is impossible but that she must soon love
YOU" They rose up and returned in silence to the
house.
That evening Edward Ashton and Mary Stuart
walked up the wild and lonely Glenure, and before
they reached home, there was clear moon to light
them through the fragrant birch-woods. Her heart
was gWch'up entirely, with all its calm, pure, and
innocent thoughts and feelings, to him who was now
her lover; it knew no disguise, nor had it one sin.

tAted sweet Mary Stuart, no wild dreams of magi-

his smile light, and his voice was music to her
soul; snd in the serene depth of an affection which
had been growing within her heart, even from the
very first moment she beheld the stranger in the
Pine Grove, would she now have willingly gone
with him to the uttermos parts of the EARTH or laid
Town her young and happy life for his sake. When
he folded her to his heart they mutually pledged
their faith, her tears fell down in showers and the
kisses that then touched her eyes and cheek thrilled
With unutterabe happiness thro her innocent and
virgin heart. But dear to her as he then was, she
felt, when about to part from him in few DAYS af-
terwaVds that he was then far dearer she then
thought of being his wife in a vision of delight, for
she WAS now dpenly In love and bar eouI o;cL Anad
