The GATHERING. The Members Of
Congress are fast gathering at the Metropo-
lis of the nation. The second session of
the Twentieth Congress will commence on
Monday next. Mr.. Locke, we understand,
left home several days since for the seat of
government. President adams will in a
few days deliver his valcdictory message :
what its topicks will be it is not easy to
conjecture.
The session will not be very long, since
it must terminate with the 4th of March,
nor very. busy, because the preparations for
the change of Presidents will excite so
much curiosity and eagerness of attention,
that the business of Legislation will be fiat
and undressing. All will wish to have
voice in selecting the heads of departments
for the new cabinet, and thousands of office
seekers will throng the ten-mile-sqare to be
present at the drawing of the smaller prizes
in the National Lottery, and hail to the ris-
ing sun-for though that sun will shine
from the Vest, still it will be the rising sun,
which the heather are wont to worship.

The NEXT PRESIDENT. 1t being as
certained, beyond all doubt, that we are to
have Gen. Jackson to rule over us the
nextfour years,the political thermometer,
which has SO long ragged at fever heat, has
fallen completely down to zero, were it will
probably remain, at least till the fourth of
March next. This is the natural course of
things. Mr. Adams, Mr.. Clay, and others,
must be left to themselves, to settle up their
accounts with Uncle Sam, remove the bill
lard table and all the finery from the great
house at Washington, and clear the coast
for the Tennessee Farmer. The place-men
must cast about them for something to do
when they shall be relieved of their publick
cares-some of the mushroom editors must
prepare to appear in their last sheet-and
above all, the General himself must dis

discontcn,cd; and, at last, was missing
IN his fathers house, and seen, the
same evening, arraych in the Indian
parb, crossing distant mountain, and
bending his course towards the setting
sun.
Ii was upwards ftwenty years after
this event, that Mr.. Bird and his wife,
now somewhat advanced in years, re-
moved to new settlement, where Mr..
Bird had purchased tract Of land, at
great distance from their former
residence; and while more COM
modious building was erecting, they
inhabited a small hut adjacent to a
thick wood. One day when the old
lady was left alone, the men Of the
neighborhood having gone to distance
Of several miles to assist at a raising,
she saw, from her door, several armed
and painted Indians approaching her.
Alarmed, but rcsolutc, she seized a
hatchct, and ascending ladder into
the loft of her dwelling, drew it up
after her, determined to resist to the
last. They entered, and finding their
efforts to cnticc her down were in
vain, laid down their rifles to ascend
after her. But the first hand that was
thrust through the trap-door was sew
cred from the arm at single blow by
the intrepid heroine, and an alarm be-
ing taken at the moment that the
whites were coming, the Indians re-
treated, and disappeared in the woods
instantly; while almost at the same
moment Mr.. Bird and his party came
in sight.
But scarcely had the deliverer Of
her life approached, before Mrs. Birds
eye caught sight of the severed hand,
and 10! there appeared before her the
SCARED right band of her eldest son.
Such is the story of the Captive
Boy; and from it draw the inference,
that it is habit that endears the saw
age to his wlds; that it teaches him
to love his own pursuits; and to de-
light in blood and treachery and that
between the natural passions, affec'
tons and dispositions Of men, there is
no difference, except such as is created
by education and custom.

JERVIS ROCKFORD,

R EsPECTFULLY informs the public in

Id DESPECTFULLY informs the public in
~ general, that he has taken a room, in
Whitman's Block, No. 8, Westminste ter- street,
where he has commodious accommodate
for Gentlemen's Hair Cutting, &c.
Permit him to say few words upon his pro
fession.
Doctors Gall and spurzheim have contend
ed that genius, taste, the passions. and all that
belongs to the intellectual powers ofman, rest
upon the formation OF the cranium:-This may
be true-but with how mucn more truth can
il be said that the beauty Of " the hun0n face
divine" depends upon that great feature Of
the countenance, the HAIR. Fashion has held
constant reign, exhibiting all the varieties of
her power, over this vegetable of the human
head-now flowing in luxuriant ringlets, and
now shaven with ecclesiastical solemnity.-
Wigs were invented to give dignity to the wise,
and the appearance of gravity and wisdom to
the dull; but the age Of wigs is gone forever
the owl of Minerva has moulted his feathers,
and fallen from her fane.-Thc present style
of moulding this feature has never been sur
passed-it has classical origin, taken from
the antique crop seen on the Elgn marbles
and Roman coins, uniting Athenian grace
with Roman dignity, AM d is finely adapted to
the ball room or military parade. This art Of
" managing the hair" is one not learned in a
day, but requires skill and experience. The
rule is general but the application must be va
ried-for delicate features, by help of this art !,
can be built up into something of marital air,
and severe limos of the countenaDce sOftened
down to sylvan simplicity. If any one doubt
whether this can be done, let HIM come and
test his skill. 6m nov FL

- Balsam for the cure of gonnorrhe,
gleets, and seminal weakness. This elegant
Basam has the astonishing power of relieving
the inflammation, and putting an end to the
virulent discharge in few days. The aston
ishing medical powers Of the urethritic balsams
have been fairly tested for several years in the
cure of hundreds. 1t is pure vegetable pro
duction, without particle Of mercury. The
proprietor has thought proper to offer itaip this
more for the convenience of persons afflicted
with diseases Of this nature; as there are many
young people, who, for fear o. exposure to a
medical man, will have recourse to the dam
gcrous expcdient of prescribing for themselves,
and taking indiscriminately pointed and pow
erful medicines to the risk and injury of their
constitutions, which the general knowledge Of
this remedy will in great measure obviate as
there will be nothing else necessary but the
strict observance of the rules and directions
laid down. Accompanying every bottle will
be found complete and full directions for the
cure of the disease, which is SO smplified that
no person can err Sold wholesale and re-.
