AN INTELLIGENT PEDAGoGUE.-In one of my late rambles I took occasion to call at the door of school-house. My honest gentleman came to the door, and saluted me with a very significant smile and a sweeping bow, which would hayo donc hon or to an eastern clown. We had not con- versed long, till a little rosy-cheeked fellow called out; " Mi g-out?" "No, Stay till I tell you to go." Presently was invited in--took up manuscript book and looked over some copies, the most remarkable of which were " Man Is a mortel" "B stands for brume." "C stands for chease." D stands for dore.' < Bengamine frank lin.' t Don't foller fashions" Lads and lasses musent be sassy" This ere is the spring of the year." Rede gud passel; but don't often rassel." l threw down the hook, and began to talk about the school law. The master said he s' didn't altogeth- CT like ii, kase it would be imposen on pe- pei that hadn't no childer! but,o said he, .it will do one gude thing; it will tear down all the quack teachers" 1 could stand 1t no longer, but bid him gnde-bge !---hastened to the woods, and gave vent to my feelings i'll aburst of uncotreilable laughter.-Pa. pa- per.
 Consolatory.--A merchant, who was en- trusted with 60 or 70 pounds of gold be- longing to the Bank of Darien, Ga. to be taken from its agency at Auraria to Daricn, has decamped with the treasure--as the same time writing to the owners thereof, that they need not be uneasy, as he was at Charleston, and about to embark for for eign port.
 GalantgY.--An agreeable woman, te whom Santeuil, the poet, owed some mo- ney, meeting him one day at a private house asked him the reason she had not seen him so long. Is it because you owe mo something?" No madam" replied the poet, "that is not what prevents my visiting, and you are the cause that you are not paid.n How sop said the lady. $ Be- cause" said he, "whenever sec you, forget every thing"
 AN UNKIND CuT.--At a Whig meeting held lately at 0swego, New York, Colonel Throop made asPeech, in which he alluded to Mir. Van Buren, and said; ( have known him from the pudding pot to the Senate, him. self and family; and all of them have been constantly in office during tho whole time, except his grandmother, aho was an advo- cate of the tea tax"

THE VICAR OF BRAY.

wo have been requested to re-puDtish fbe original song of the Vicar of Bray This celebrated gentleman, who has innu- ,nerable imitators, was Vicar of Bray. ID nerkshire. England. He was Roman Catholic under the reign of Henry inc ath and a Protestant under Edward the 9th He was again Roman Catholic un- der Mary. and once more became d fo- testant in the reign of Elizabeth. when this scandal 10 the gown was reproacheu for his versatility of religious creea' ana taxed for being a turn coat and inconstah. cbangeling, he replied, Not so neither !. for if changed my religion, l am sure kept true to my principle, winch IS, to i've and die the Vicar of Bray lie sohg mak es nim live later than he really did. Tn rood king Charles's golden days, When loyalty no harm meant, A zealous high -churchman l was, And so got preferment ITO teach my flock never miss d, Kings are ny God appointed, And damp'd are those that do resist Or touch the Lords Anointed.
 And this is law I will maintain
 Until my dying day, sir
 That whatsoever king shall reign,
 I'll be the Vicar of Bray, sir. When royal James obtained the crown, And popery came Tn fashion, The penal laws I hooted down. And read the Declaration; The church of Rome found would fit Full well my constitutions; And had become Jesuit,
 But fnr the Revolution,
 And this is law, &e. When William was our king declard, To ease the nations grievances With this new wind steer'd, And wore to him allegiance: Old principles did revoke,
 Set conscience a. dtstancei Passive obedience was joke, "A rest was non resistance.
 And this is law, &c. When gracious Anne became our eeueen, The Church of England's glsry, Another face of things was seen, And l became tory: Occasional conformists base,
 damn'd their mod And thought the Church Tn danger was Fly such prevaTication.
 And this is law, &c. When George in pudding time came 0 er' And mod 'rate men look'd big, sir; turnsd cat in pan once more, And so became whig, sir; And thus preferment i procured From our new faiths defender, And almost every day abjur'd
 The pope and the pretender.
 And this is law, &Ic. Tn illustrious house of Hanover,
 And prot estant succession; To these do allegiance swear
 While they can keep possession; For in my faith and loyalty
 I never more will falter, And George my lawful king shall be- Until the times do alter,
 And this is law will maintain
 Until my dying day, sir
 That whatsoever king shall reign,

BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.
Were it possible to be astunished at any thing
that could happen in the present history of the
times, it would be at what we have seen pub
lished as part of the proceedings Of the Bait
more Convention, upon the introduction of a
Resolution asking Congress for further aid to
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company.
1st. 1t was commended, "there might be OBJ
jects to be effected by memorial TO Congress
to which he (thc Speaker) would give his cor
dial support-of this there cannot be any doubt;
and that, too, judging from the past, even with
out any fear of corruption being entertained by
the Baltimoreans.-W Witness, for example, the
aid asked Of Congress by renting the duty on
iron for her rail roads; the application to Con-
gress to subscribe to the Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road Company, and also if mistake not,
to the Washington Rail Road. am as much
opposed to log-rolling as any one can be; but
here is case altered, without any alteration
in the case-except so far, that, in the one in
stance, Alexandria might share some OF the be-
nefts; while Baltimore, in the other, would re-
ceive the whole.
From the past and the present. we have
right to judge of the future; and, with me, &C
tons prove louder than words. Yet notwith-
standing all this, as matters now stand, can
readily conceive that Baltimore may entertain
a lively interest for the extension and compile
ton of the Canal. But when? Why, so soon,
and as fast as she can secure, by rail roads to
places of deposit on the Canal, the produce of
the Shenandoah Valley, and so on, the entire
line of the Canal. Secure as we go, is their po-
