The following amusing dialogue occurr- ed between two sailors who happened to be on the military parade when the soldiers were at drill, going through the evolution of making time; amilitary maneuvre, by which the feet as well as the whole body of the person gre kept in motion, presenting 9 similar appearance to that which they ex- hibit when they are actually marching One observed the other watching the move ments of the corpsvery attentively, his eyes fixed and arms akimbo; What are you looking at?" he enquired. Why, Jack,'' replied his companion, I'm thinking there must be strong tide this morning. ."-- 4 Why" answered the other. s.Why. be- cause these poor beggars have been pulling away this half hour, and has ..t got an inch ahead yet.'

Scottiah .A1seedote, by fbe Etttick Shep- herd.-In Appin there is a public house call ed Figh-phort-na-eroise. Io this house l "red-coato came one day, and while talk ing his dram, entertained the landlord and a couple of his friends, with stories of bat ties, of imminent dangers, and hair breadth escapes. He Wasasked the most treYeltiug sight he had ever seen. He answered he had seen many, butthe massaereof of l4leneoebeat thema He there saw sixteen men bound hand and foot, placed side by side on a bench, and sixteen musket balls fired thro' their stout hearts. The landlord imme- diately beckoned out one of his friends. "M My father," said he, twas one of those sixteen--the red-coat was one of his mur- derers. I am resolved to run him through with my dirk this instant" "Agreed, my brave Donald" said his neighbor, .but first let us hear more of his stories.n .n- They went in together, and the red-coat proceeded. ssAbout dawn we were under orders to quit Glencoe; we heard the screan of child d little way tip the hill :; the Captain said to me, "Go, Duncan, run that child through if it be male, but if it be female, spare it." l climbed up and saw decent looking woman with blank ct about her, and forcing corner of it into the child's mouth, to keep it from crying to present discovery. My heart melted with pity; went back, and though at the risk ol my life, told the captain 1t was female child.o s.I was that child." exclaimed the landlord, ssthat woman was my mother often has she told me the tale with tears oi gratitude! But moment ago was re- solved to slay you; but now put off that red coat, and be my son forever"

SALE OF 10 2 s
IN THE

 .seat of Justice of Washiagton County. EHyHE Commissioners for the county of A Washington, will offer the LOTS in the Town of FAYETTEVILLE, for sale at Public Auction, at the Court-house door in that Town, commencing on ,neaday, fhe Sth dag of December uert, and continuing from day to day until the same are sold.
 Ternas Of Saie.-~AH advance of ten per cent. on the amount of purchase will be required to be paid down; the balance in three equal instalments, payable at six, twelve, and eighteen months-the purcha- ser giving bond with approved security. failure to pay up the instalments prompt lY when they fall due, to annul the pur- chase, and the purchaser to forfeit any payments he may have previously made. The quarter section of land on which the Town of Fayetteville is situate, was donated by Congress to the Commissioners of the county of Washington, in trust for the use and benefit of said county, and is mostly of excellent soil. The lots are we'll laid out both for fancy and conven- fence. The Town is admirably situate, on beautiful emineRce, near the centre Of the county, on the dividing land be- tween the waters of Illinois aud White rivers, and is well supplied with springs of the purest water-some running into White, and others into Illinois river
 Tine adjacent country presents pleasing prospect to the spectator. On the south and east, the blue hills and mountains, with intervening prairies, present them selves as far as the eye can reach and on the southwest, there is much prairie land of fexcellent quality. ltseems that nature ;s entirely reversed this part oi f the err ritory, the Town site forming the dividing land between water courses. The hills and highest mountains afford level land of excellent soil, in sufficient bodies for good farms and well watered with never failing springs. The growth of the adia- cent forests is, oak hickory, ash, mulberry. walnut, cherry, black locust, pawpaw, lspice-w ood, and the largest and most de- lcious grape in, the world It IS likewise situate about five miles west of the three forks of White river, the head of navira- tion for keel and fiat boats.
 From the natural location of this Town in the centre of the county. surrounded with rich. fertile and healthy country. already densely populated, and well snp- piled with never-faiiiTg springs of the best water, it doubtless bids fair to become one of the most dourishing inland towns west of the Mississippi. Gentlemen wish ing to avail themselves of an opportunity of making good purchases, will do well to attend.

MArRIMoNY.--The happiness of the hus- band and wife is mutually derived from each other--they partake alike of joy and sorrow, glory and ignominy, wealth and poverty--they are the same to each other in all the circumstances of life-the misfor- tune of the one is the misfortune of the other--nothing but the grave can sever that connexion; even the bonds which unite brother and sister, and parents and chil- dren, are far less enduring. The tender youth grows into manhood he Is now, per- haps, contending with the difficulties of the world, and receives no longer the protec- ton of a father and mother, the old sinking into the grave around him, and hls only so- lace is the wife of lis bosom; she, perhaps, has fled from her paternal roof, willing to sacrifice every thing for his sake, and now clings fondly to him for protection and sup port thus, she becomes his chief delight, and by her tenderness and love, she sweet ems his toll, and scatters sunshine along the pathway of his existence.

IRISH MELODIES.

 BY THOMAS MooRE, Ese.; Just Published Sing, sweet Harp, 0 sing to me Some song of ancient days, Whose sounds in this sad memory Long-buried dreams shall rise = Some day that tells of vanished fame Whose light once round us shone; Ofnoble pride now turned to shame, And hopes forever gone,- Sing, sad Harp, thus sing to me; Alike our doom Is cast, Both lost to all but memory, We lived but in the past. How mournfuly the midnight air Among thy chords doth sigh, As if 1t sought some echo there Of voices long gone by:- Of chieftains now forgot, who beam q The foremost then in fame; Of Bards who once immortal deem'd Now sleep without name, In vain, sad Harp, the midnight air, Among thy chords doth sigh: h vain if seeks some echo there Ofvoices long gone by. Could 'st thou but call those spirits round, Who once in bower and hall, Sat listening to thy magic sound, Now mute and mouldering all;-- But no;--they would but wake to weep Their children's slavery; Then leave them in their dreamless sleep, The dead, at least, are free !-- Hush sad Harp; that dreary tone, That knell of Freedoms day, Or, listening to its death-iike moan, Let me, too, die away.
