HERMAN BoERHAAvE, NJ. Dit was the
daily practice of this eminent person, as
soon as he rose in the morning, which
was generally very early, TO retire for an
hour to private meditation. He often told
his friends, when they asked him how 1t
was possible for him to go through so
much fatigue, that it was this which gave
him spirit and vigori in the business of the
day. This he therefore recommended as
the best rule he could give; for nothing,
he said, could tend more to the health Of
the body than the tranquility ofthe fnind;
and that he knew nothing which could Sd
well support the various distresses of life
as well-grounded confidence in the Su:
preme Being.

Il grand Railroad Spectacle.--The To-

the news ofthe capitulation ~aS known,
general JOY prevailed in Antwerp. a'co-
pie met and congratulated each other
without distinction ofrank or party. The
Dstch saved nothing from the Citadel OF
lie neighborhood. Early in the evening
the gun boat No. 8, which il ]. said has on
board things Of value, as well AZ impor-
tant documents, was obliged to surrender
to the French garrison at Fort Philippe.
The citadel offers a picture OF extreme
desoIaiion- no building remains entire
all are totally destroyed or clipped by the
projectiles Of the beseis isers--not foot

and shells. One important building was
destroyed with all its contents. 1t would
appear that the loss determined the be-

held out 10 the last extremity.

In sOhat Dcy may Pride be manites,ed?- -
Pride is sometimes expressed by ahaugh-
ty look, and scornfal air; hence we are
informed, q The lofty looks of man shall
be humbIed and the haughtiness Of men
shall be bowed down." II is also disco m
able, IA some, by the extravagance of
their dress. Again, !: is manifested
in conversation, not only by him who
scofs at religion, but by all " unruly and
vain takers" Pride & arroqancy ,and
the evil way and the froward mouth do /
hate" saith the Lord. In the misim-
provement oftime, and talents, the abuse
OF religious privileges, and neglect of the
ordinances ofthe gospel, much pride Is
manifested. This evil, thus discoverablc
in the o"Ward appearance, is deeply rooted
in the dsprared heart of man, and is a
(roitfui source Of wickedness and sorrow.

To OUR PArRoNs.-With this number
closes the present volume Of tho Star
In reviewing our past course, we cannot
see that we wish to nake, any alteration
IN that we intend to pursue. We shall
endeavor to make the STAR, an interest
ing and cheap paper, and we hope worthy
the gcnerous patronage it has heretofore
received. We have had to encounter con
siderable opposition, thus far,bus we have
been enabled by using little economy,
to maintaia our ground, ia spite of all the
efforts to put us down. We have al
ways reserved to ourselves the right to
publish Whist we thought proper; and no
communication, dressed in decent lan>
gusge, has been rejected, whether for or
against our party, ifthe statements made
had the least foundation for truth, and
were accompanied by responsible name
And while we continue to publish this pa
per, it will be conducted as we think best,
the rrowns and sneers Of the would-be-
conductors, TO the contrary notw,thstand-
ing. It is not expected Of US that VIC
should please every one Of our patrons.
The thing is impossible. The undertak.
ing was considered a Wild one, by many
Of our friends and we were frequently
advised to abandon the project, and give
up the publication ofthe Star. They be-
ing well satisfied 10 their own minds, that
paper could not receive euficicnt sup
tport in this County, to warrant good
business. We were also we'll aware oi
this fact; bat our feeble state Of health, at
that time, was such, that we were not a.
Bile tn be 30 much confined a. we shoulC
have been, had we been employed in a.
ny other office. And we knew of no 9th.
er business at that time, whereby we
could obtsin livelihood, that was suited
10 our constitutions. We d,d not expect
10 find Il good business--and We were
not disappointed. And every one knows,
as we'll as we do ourselves, that VIC need
much more support than we receive, tc
make il 60. And when the time nrrives
that we cannot receive sufficient support,
to enable US to continue this paper, and
pursue the somo course il always has,

veterans, and the namss Of Scott, Jessup,
Lsavenworth, M'NeiI, and Human, wore
given TO their country TO adorh the proud
est page ofits history Five and thirty
minutes decided the contest, and the re-
tiring foe was pursued and driven TO its
fortress. None who saw, w.ll forget the
terrific beauty Of this sceie; the noble APP
pearancc Of the iToops-the dreadful pre-
cision Of every movement the awful fury
of the battIc--its fatal seyeTty--its brief
continuancc- triumphant close.
As the victors returned from the pur-
suit ofthe retiring enemy, a scene Of in
tense interest was prcseRted. They trav-
crsed the field which few minutes before
sparkle with the proud equipuge Of war.
There had been gallant men, and gay
uniforms, and waving bannars; and there
had been drums and trumpets, and the wad
notes Of the buglc, stirring the soul to &c
tion. There had been nodding plumes,
and beating hearts, and eyes that CLEANED
with valour and ambition. There too had
been tempestuous chiefs, ,emulous Of fame,
dashed their fiery steeds along the hostile
ranks: and there had been all the spirit
stirring sights and sounds that iill the eye
and the ear, and the heart Of the young
warrior, giving more than the poct's fire to
the entrance imagination. What a
change had few biicf cfmoments produced!' :
Now the field was strewed with the ghast-.
1y dis6gured forms, with tho wounded,
with the mutilated, and the dying. The
car was filled with strange, and melancholy,
terrific sounds; the shouts Of victory had
given place to groans Of anguish, the com
plants of the vanqushed, and prayers or
imprecaticns OF tho dying. Here was
one who called upon heaven TO protect
his children; another raved Of bereaved
wife; u third tenderiy aspired beloved
name, consccrated only by that tie--while
others deprecated their own suffering, or
pleaded pitiously for the pardon Of their
SINS Here were those who prayed ar
IDENTIFY for death, and somo who implored
a few minutes more Of life. Complaints
of bodily pain, & confessions Of unrepent-
ed crime, bursts forth from the souls of
many in heart, rending accents; while
some, us they gazed upon the fast flowing
crimson torrent, wasted the brief remains
of breath IN moralizing upon the shortness
Of life, and mans careless prodigality Of
existence. Many gallant spirits there
we're on that ensanguined plain, who
prayed silently; and some who dared not
prny, and yet scorncd to murmer. Their
lips bespoke their firmness;
heir eyes wandered wishlufiy over the
bright scene that was fading before them,
md they grasped frrven,ly the hands Of
hose who mournfully bnde them farewell.

CoRREcrIox. In our last impression,
we stated on the authority ofa member o.
the Senate, that the bill auihorising the
Governor TO offer reward for the appre-
henson Of Mr.. Avery, was not sent to
that body till Tuesday; but It appears by
a communication in Wednesdays Jour.
nal that our informant was laboring un-
der mistake, it having been sent to the
Senate, on Monday. We give the cor
rcction in the Journals ow6 words

ly concured in by the Senate, on the
same day, it was sent up from the House,

And now in closing, permit US to make
our acknowledgements to those Of -our

Fcraw from Us their patronage. Many Of
them have travelled the same political
road with us, ia Ly-gone days--but they
have wandered from the path. We do
not compIuin--wewilI aot complain.
When the article which we inserted in
in our last, Respecting the Gov Procla-
mutton, was peoned, it was done so, mere
Ily orfhe purpose Of correcting AN i'm
|prcssioa that had been made on the minds
Of many in this vicinity, that the Gov.
and Senate were opposed to the resolu-
ton, sent from the House. 1t had been
,publickly stated, that the Senate refused
to concur, and Also that Mr.. Halle spoke
for the space oftwo hours against the pas
sing Of that resolution, before that body.
Now what was oil this done for |! was il
not to create 'an excitement, and thereby
prejudice the minds of the public against
the present Governor and Senate -
When we stated what we did, we suppos-
ed our informant was correct,o or we should
not have pat 1t in print. Since then, we
have scca communication in the Jour
nal, which states that the bill was sent on
Monday and not on Tuesday, as was stat
I'd in the Star. The Journal having the
