POLITICAL,

The annual elections in several Of the
States have recently taken place, and are to
DO hold i'll otneTs soon. So far as they afford
an indication of public sentiment, it may le
interesting 10 take review of them.
In Maine, Enoch Lincoln is elected Coy
ernOr, by an almost unanimous vote, there
being no opposing candidate. In the choice
OF members Of the Legislature, there has been
some excitement, in consequence Of the duty
which devolves on them, Of choosing United
states' Senator. It is supposed that John
Holmes will have leave to retire from that
station, and that Governor Paris will be
elected in his stead. The choice of members
Of Congress has been contested in three of
four districts. In Cumberland, York, and
Kennebeck districts, the present incumbents
have been Reelected. In Oxford, two candi-
dates were run, both said to be friendly to the
Administration. Gen. ]. w. Ripley has the
highest vote, but the scattering votes prevent
a choice. In LINCOLN, Joseph r. Wingate.
the administration candidate, is chosen by
great majority over DR.. Rose, who also pro-
fesses TO be friendly to the administration, but
was supported by the King and Holmes party.
In Somerset and Penobscot districts, and in
Hancock and Washington, there has been no
choice, owing to the number Of candidates.
In the former, Jacob M'Gaw, and in the lat
ter, Jeremiah o'Bricn, both present members,
had the greatest number Of votes.
In Vermont, Ezra Butler has been chosen
Governor, and Aaron Leland Lieut.. Cover.

MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.

there is room for Improvement in the
government of children.-To assist par.
entsin this most deeirable object, friend
TO good and wholesome government
would wish TO give few simple rules,
which, if followed, cannot fail to have
the effect suggested:
If one parent has refused child a
Plaything, sugar-plum, or any thing
else. let the other be sure to interfere
and say, Poor thing, ii wants it, and
ought to be gratifed"
If child be stubborn or wilful, and
need chastisement, and one parent at
tempts TO infiict it, let the other, by all
means, interfere, "PooF thing, il sha'nt
be banged TO death. "--In short, lei
parents never agree what is best 10 be
done, and the child will soon know
what is what, and be fitted for many
things.
If child offend, either by breaking a
plate, or in any other way, never stop
to reflect, lest the temper should cool,
out box lis ears with smart blow /; a
powerful thump on the head has a won
derful influence on the faculties.

been two or three times refused, and at
length sets TO crying-relent, aud let il
have the thing cried for, by all means !;

RICHARD COUR DE LION.

In $780, Richard joined the crusade with
Philip Augustus of France, but division
taking place between the two princes, the
latter returned to Fhrope. Richard remain
ed in the east, where he displayed uncom-
mon valor against Saladin, whom he defeat
cd near Cnsarea, and having made truce,
embarked in a vessel which was wrecked on
the coast of Italy. He then travelled in dis
guse through part of Germany. but being
discovered by Leopold, Duke of Austria, he
was made prisoner, and sent to the Enpe-
ror Henry II. who kept him confined in a
castle for some time, until discovered by his
minstrel, in the manner here related by an
ancient writer (l62S) whose diction is so cx-
cecdingly sweet that it were pity to mod
ernize it.
"The Englishmen were mere than a
whole yeare without hearing any tvdings of
their king, or in what place he was kept
prisoner. He had trained up in his court
rimer or minstrel, called Blondell de Nesle:
who (saith an ancient MS, at Old Poesies,
written about those very times. and an an
cient MS. French Chronicle) being SO long
without the sight OF his lord, his life seemed
wearisom to him, and he became confound-
ed with melancholy. Knowne it was that
he came backe from the Holy Land, but
Whereupon this Blondel, resolving to
make search for him in many countries, but
he would hear some news Of him; after ex-
pense of divers days in travaile, he came to
a towne (by good hap) neere to the castell
where his n,aister king Richard was kept.
OF his host he demanded to whom the castcll
appertaned, and the host told him that it
belonged to the duke of Austria. Then he
enquire ed whether there were any prisoners
therin detained or no: for alwayes he made
such secret questionings wheresoever he
came. And the hoste gave answer, there
was one onely prisoner but he knew not what
he was, and vet he had bin detained there
more then the space of yeare. WhenI Blon-
del heard this, he wrought such means that
he became acquainted with them of the
castel, as minstrels doe easily win acquaint-
ance anv where but see the king he could
not, neither understand that it was he. One
day he sat directly before window of the
castell where king Richard was kept prison.
er, and began to sing song in French, which
king Richard and Blondel had sometime
composed together. When king Richard
heard the song, he knew that it was Blondel
that sung it; and when Blondel paused at
halle the song, the king began the other half
and completed it. Thus Blondel won knowl-
edge of the king his master, and returning
home into England made the barons of the
countre acquainted where the king was"
This happened about the year 1885; he
was at length ransomed by his subjects, and
in a war afterwards with Philip, he invaded
France, and in besieging the castle of Cha
Ions, was killed by an arrow in the forty Sc
cond year of his age. Under Richard, the
minstrel art acquired additional splendour:
he was not only the great hero of chivalry
but the patron of poets and minstrels. He
was himself of their number, and some OF
his poems are still extant.

SINGULAR CRIMINAL CASE.

At the commencement of the 18th centu-
ry, when the torture was still in vogue in the
north of Germany, the arm of Justice had
reached a robbcr, who had long been COM
hitting depredations in the vicinityof a pro-
vncial town. Sentence of death was pro-
nounced upon him, and on the 18th of August
1704, he was conducted to the place of exc
cution, where the gibbet awaited him. The
procession moved from the prison through
the streets, which as we'll as the doors and
windows'of the houses were filled with spec
tators. The culprit, nothing daunted, made
his salutations on all sides; and in passing
throught narrow street, he perceived
journeyman locksmith, whom he had form
erly known by name and reputation, looking
out of lower window. Moved by the
sight, this man had drawn his attention by
ejaculation, II should like 10 know how
such hardened sinner must feel under the
gollows" No sooner had the criminal heard
these words, than, in absorbed thought, he
seemed to take not the least further notice of
the crowd, which accompanied him, and
with down cast looks pursued his way out
OF the town-gate, The clergyman who at
tended. against whose exhortations he had
hitherto obstinately closed his heart con-
ceived that a better spirit had at length a.
woke in him, that he repented his misdeeds,
and that it was now time to prepare him for
eternity. The worthy divine, however
perceived but too soon that not another word
was to be gained from him. All the pains he,
took proved in vain, SO that on his arrival at
the gallows he was compelled to deliver
him up to theexecutioner, with these words !:
