THE HEROIC DAUGHTER.

When the French revolution nrst began
to desoate the homes Of France, to drag
its devoted victims one by one from ,ne
circle of affection, and crowd the scatfoids
with martys, D'Azinval fed his country.
A moment he paused as the spirit of patri-
otism spoke within him and the throbbings
of his heart grew quicker, while he con-
templated the altars of France overthrown
her laws outraged, her children massacred; /;
while the myrmidons of that anarchy and
atheism desecrated the sceptre of her pow
er, and filled her high places But, alas !
for his country he felt it vain to raise his
arm itmight draw down destruction on
his own head, but could not avert it one
moment from hers. The demon of dis
cord, like the hot blast of the sirocco,
withered her virtue and invaded her
strength and hostile as it was to his ma
ture, he saw it was the part of wisdom to
PROSTATE himself, like tho traveller in the
desert, till its fury had passed. ~
Nor was this resolution the result of
considerations that centred in self he
had tie that we aRened the love of coun-
try the feelings of the patriot were merg-
ed IN the fears and the affections of the
parent, and TO withdraw his young and
lovely Adele from the scene Of terror, was
the first motive of his fight.

Cultivate your mind by the perusal of
those books which instruct while they a.
muse. Do not devote much of your time
to novels there are few which may be
useful in improving and giving higher
tone to our moral sensibilty but, in gem
eral, they tend to vitate the taste, and 10
produce disrelish for substantial intellec-
tual food. Most plays are of the same
cast, they are not friendly to that delicacy
which is one Of the ornaments of the fe-
male character. History, geography, po-
etry, moral essays, biography, travels, SER
mons, and other we'll written religious pro-
ductions, will not fail to enlarge your un-
derstanding, to render you a more agreea-
bic companion, and TO exalt your virtue.
A woman devoid of rational ideas of re.
ligion, has no security for her virtue il is
sacrificed to her passions, whose voice,
and not that of her God, is her only govern
ing principle. Besides, in those hours of
calamity to which families must be expos
ed, where will she find support, if il be not
in her just reflections upon that all-ruling
Providence which governs the universe,
whether animate or inanimste

SPOTIN THE SIN

TO the Editors Of the Baltimore -4mercdr.
Gentlemen There is at present,a large
spot in the disc of the Sun near its western
verge, which may be seen very plainly by
telescope of moderate power. Net hav-
ing micrOmeter, have not been able to
measure its size; but, jndging from the eye,
| should reckon its length to be equal to a
bout one thirtieth of the suns diameter.
The coincidence between the appearance
OF such spots and seasons Of extraordinary
dryness and warmth, as was the case last
summer, has been so often remarked as to
induce the suspicion that they may be, in
some measure, dependent on the same
cause. Whether this be the case or not.
the subject is certainly of ofsufiicient interest
to render desirable more exact series OF
observations than has as yet been made, to
either confirm or overthrow the hypothesis
that have been proposed.

Mr.. Noah says, "New coalitions will

man, who can resist it; We are happy to
agree with him. The friends ofthe other

fesced against Mr. Adams, in the first in
stance; and some Of tie more honest, more
rejecting, and more patriotic members of
this coalition, finding that the course ofmr.
Adams is as unexceptimable, as that of
the opposition is in hostility to every good
principle and good feeling ,and that the ad-
ministratlon ofmr. Adams is becoming ev-
cry day more popular, while the conduct
OF his opponents is every day becoming
less SO, are now uniting with the friends of

ton from the ranks of the opposition in
creases daily, and long before the next
election Of President shall take place, a

made full confession of his guilt. There
are some circumstances which have been
disclosed by the testimony in this case,
which go to shew a most uncommon de-
gree Of influence, exercised over the mind
of her husband by Mrs. Beauchamp. This
person, who has been so deplorably lost to
some of the noblest and most sacred duties
of her sex, is woman Of uncommon encr-
gics Of mind, marked by early eccentrici-
ties of manners, and fatal Indifference TO
public opinion. The presumptions are pow:
erful, that this young man, now. but three

least two years, if notmorc, under the con-
stant excitement Of his wife, to the murder
of Col. Sharp. Wewill not dwell, howev

THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION

THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION
of the General Government will be the
most glorious one which this country has
ever had, provided it can I've continued to
be supported in the fair and honorable
prosecution of its liberal and truly rcpub-
lican course. The views Of the Admins
tra,ion announced by the President in his
Inaugural Message, are so just, so pro-
found and so perfectly conformable to the
true policy of this vast Republic; and so
well calculated to devclope in the most
natural and rapid manner its great and
growing faculties, as to entitle them in an
eminent degree to the cordial aid and sup
port Of every freemen. But the misfortune
is that there is great and powerful oppo-
sition organized, or endcavoring to orga-
nize itself, in the SENATE or UNr-
TED STATES, to thwart and obstruc. the
Administration in ALL the measures il a.
dopts for the preservation Of our republican
institutions. 1t may perhaps be thought
uncandid to inculpate the motives of tha,
opposition; but they are so palpably direct.
cd to paralyze the efforts of Government
in the pursuit of the general welfare, and
In measures in which that welfare is SO oh.
viously connected, TINT il would require
the utmost excTtion Of charity to enable us
to contemplate them with indifference.
But five are not to arraign those motives,
still we are To lament and every sincere
and enlightened lover Of his country must
and will lament, such mistaken, such mis-
guided, such obstinate ond dangerous re-
sistauce TO the Adminis,ration, in their
pursuit Of the general welfare. This on.
