King of the Nctherlands.-There is a
degree of condescending familiarity in
the conduct of the King of the Neither
lands, towards his subjects, that might
well be initiated by other sovereigns.
The Brussels Oracle, in giving an ac-
count of the Levee held on the 5th Of
April says
persons of all ranks were present,
there were no porters, no guards, no
ianissaries of any kind, no etiquette.
Without any previous application, with
out formalities of any kind, people pre-.
sent tbemselvs, inscribe their names,
and are introduced into the Anti-cham-
Der, where, whoever pleases sits down,
while be may see his King standing
in the next apartment; receiving with
an afabilty which may be truly pater-
nal, whoever is presented to him in bis
turn according to the list"
"Foreigners who are accustomed to
enter Royal residences only through
forest of bayo carbines, or halberts,
and after having gone through mum.
Der of formalities which are always trou-
lesome, and often ridiculous, cannot
believe their own eyes. 1t may be said
without exasgeration, that it is more easy
to enter the abode of the King of the
Netherlands, and to be received there
as enc might be by good father, than
il is in some countries not far off, to APP
proach petty clerk, who will often
affect the most insupportable arrogance,
and the most ridiculous gravity"
In Great Britain, the number of indi-
viduals in state to bear arms from rs
to 60 is e,744,s47. The number of mar
riaees is about 9s,Oso yearly; and it has
been remarked, that in So of these unions
there were only which had no issue.
The number of deaths is about SSa,-
70s yearly, which makes nearly 95,592
monthly, 6,398 weekly, 9l4 daily, and
40 hourly. The deaths among the wo-
men are in proportion to those of the
menes so TO 81. The married women
live longer than those who continue in ce-
bacy. In the country the mean term of
the number of children produced by each
marriage is 4; in towns the proportion
is 7ior every two marriages. The num-
Der Of married women is, TO the general
number of individuals of the sex as to
8; and the number of married men, to
that of all the individuals Of the male sex
as 8 to 5. The number of widows is to

number of widows who marry again,

THE REVENGE.

Shortly before the French Revolution
broke outin 1899, the Marquis de Money,
a nobleman of illustrious birth, but con-
tracted fortune, had an opportunity Of ma
king a very advantageous purchase Of some
property, butwanting ready money to COM
plete it, he applied to Monsieur Restaud
for the loan of a considerable sum. 4
Restaud was alman of low origins who
had by course of honest and perseyeging
industry, acquired an immense fortune; to
inherit which he had only one child, son,
at that period about eighteen, who was a
fine promising young man, and Restaud,
who was extremely fond Of him, had spa
red no expense on his education. h
The Marquis, after opening his business.
began to talk of the length of time it would
be before he conld repay the money, and
the security which he proposed giving.
+" Monsieur Marquis, J" said Restaud, inter-
rupting him, n have plan to propose,
which will, if you choose to accede to it,
entirely obviate all the inconveniences you
must be put TO, to repay this sum. But my
plan may perhaps. bear a little hard upon
your pride, if so, monsieur marquis, speak
freely i shall not be less ready to lend you
the money"
Whatisyour plan my good friend, said
De Money.
Restaud now with some little circumlo-
cution, unfolded il, and De Money listen
ed with considerable surprise to the propo-
sal Of an alliance between his only daughter
and the son Of Restaud. i
The deepest crimson flushed the cheek
Of the Marquis at an offer which ne was
at first inclined to regard as an insult, but
a few minutes reflection changed his ideas.
His property was barely adequate to the
support of his rank, and he had three sons
and daughter to provide for, the eldest

Vices are dangerous in proportion to the
insinuating manner in which they present
themselves. From open profanity, and
wickedness, the mind instinctively shrinks;
for, corrupt as our natures are, we must ar

this, makes her first addresses to the UNI

She keeps from view her native deformi-

i'm places of public ADJUSTMENTS; and lest
the youth should be appraised fhis danger,
she has given them the name of innocent
indulgencies.

of those whom she wishes to decoy, with

calls antidotes for melancholy. These

THE FLOWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

See those branches, rude and BARE, N \;
That in summer look'd so fair, ss 1.
And their yellow leaves are found
Strew'd upon the frosty ground. s.ss
Methinks the hollow, murmuring blast
Tells me that the summers past
Tells me that the winters nigh
Tells me all that lives must die.
Is there nought can pleasure give,
Is there nought that viii Outlive
The raging storm and chilly blast,
And shine more bright when winters past!
Yes-Friendship is the social flower
That will outlive the wintry power;
1t droops not when the heat of June
Beats down intense at pitch of noon;
1t fades not when the summers past;
i dies not in the wintry blast; .~ =
The frosts of age it does not fear,
But blooms alike throughout the year.
So when n1isfortunes on us crowd,
And wintry storms our prospects shroud,
A social friend imparts Joy
That ruthless time can ne'er distroy-
The bond of friendship lasts. forever,
Nor time, nor age that bond can sever.

qualification. Now when apathy and Ian.
guor selves his mind, he desires some rem,
edy for his present duIness. Intemperance
presents the fatal goblet, and instead of say.
ing ''non ala bibam mercede,'' he quafs
the poisonous contents. She has now q
powerful influence over the human heart
and, though concealed, is exerting an at
Etractive force, and, like magnet, is draw
ing him into her fatal vortex. The
youth has now arrived to a critical stage in
his mortal career. From taking his pota-
ton after dinner, he has now arrived to
such perfection in this fatal art that he takes
his glass with every friend he meets. Thus
he goes on in his march Of perfection. until
he is initiated into all the rites and orgies of
Bacchus. .ssf sE - 1-st
Time would fail to enumerate all the e.
wills attendant ON his after life. The habit
which he has almost insensibly formed, be-
comes stronger and stronger, till the chains
OF amoral necessity bind him TO his vi
cious practice. All motives to retrieve his
character are Intellectual; they cannot al
lure him from his devious paths. Parental
tears are shed in vain; and the heaying boz
som of the mother is seen by the profigate
son without one emotion. The affection
of wife; her prayers and her distresses
move him not-his little babes, with all
their artlessness, clinging around him, are
|unnoticed; and all the endearments of the
domestic circle have been banished from
his breast |
He goes out from his Gather's house, or
from his wife's protection; and without a
friend to shed the tear of pity over his.fo
lies, he becomes the object of contempt
he pursues his course Of iniquity, until
health has been impaired, and until his
moral perceptions are So blunted that he
calls good evil, and evil good" The
stream of time is now floating him along
with velocity, which is rendered imper-
-ceptible by its greatness, and unconscious
of his danger, he amuses himself with the
surrounding objects, till, on a sudden, his
reverie is interrupted, by arriving at the
outlet of time The stream launches him
forth into eternity; and the curtain drops
which conceals from mortal view the world
ofspirits. Pea - 'e ROMEO. y

1t needs no argument now, to prove 20 the
citizens OF Boston, that commerce and naviga-
ton have been greatly augmented by the es-
tablishmont of manufactures i'll New Eng land.
In order to show how much these establish
meuts contribute TO the prosperity of these in
terests, | submit the following statement OF
facts with regard TO four of the woolien facto-
ries established in the County of Worcester;
each employing about the same number CT
hands, and making about the same quantity
Of cloth.
These four factories make lac, coo yards OF
broadCloth per anuum, which is contained, as
the cloth is put up and hrougi' to market, in
900 bales, 3 feet by 2, and would occupy no
more room iii vessel than 300hales OF cotton.
This is about one fifth part OF cargo for a
vessel Of four or Eve hundred tons.
Suppose these factories had not been erected,
and these 900 bales Of cloth were to be i'm
ported. Should we, by reason Of this, export
to Europe any more OF the products of our
soil, or other commodities, than we now do
think we should not Now let US see, then,
how much employment these four factories az
ford for shire, and how much colnmarco is ben
Gifted by their operation.
There is annually consumed in these facto.
ries 100000 pounds of wool ha!f of thi:
quantity ia foreign wool, and makes 1900
bales, some what larger than bales OF cotton
There is also used in them $40 pipes Of olive
oil, 400 boxes Marselles soap, so cases indigo,
60 tons dye woods. 40 hhds. English woad,
100 bags Sicily sumac, large quantities OF iron
for machinery, GOO barrels flour from Other
States, and a great many other articles of mi
nor consideration. Thus does it appear, that,
| by the establishment Of these factories, eight
times the amount Of tonnage is employed fol
the supply Of articles consumed in them, that
would be required, were we 10 import the
same quantity of cloths, instead of maUuiac-
turing them ourselves. | have said nothing
about the quantity Of sugar, molassos, coffee,
tea, rum and other articles, consumed at these
establishments, though it must appear Plalnto
every one, thatthe manufactures IN New Eas-
land, employing about one fourth Of its popu-
lation, greatly increase the trade in these srti-
cles, as well as in those have before enumer-
ated.
