WOMAN.

Female loveliness cannot be clothed in more
pleasing garb than that of knowledge. female
thus arrayed, is of the most interesting objects
of creation. Every eye rests upon her with pleas
ure the learned and wise, the young and the aged
of the opposite delight in her society and afx
her character respect and veneration. Ignorance
and folly stand reproved in her presence and vice in
his bold career, shrinks abashed ut her gaze. She
moves the joy, the delight of the domestic circle
she excites the praise the admiration of the world.
A female thus armed, thus equipped, is prepared to
encounter every trial which this uncertain state may
bring to raise with proper elevation to the pinnacle
of fortune, or sink with becoming forude, into the
abyss of poverty to attain with cheerful serenity,
tue highest of bliss, endure, with patient irmness,
the depths of woe.

Alas how little do we appreciate n mothers ten
derness while living how needless we in youth
of all her anxiees and kindness But when she is
dead and gone-wben the cares and coldness of the
world come witherine to our hearts-whcn we find
how hard it IS to fud true sympathy, how few love
for ourselves, how few beffcnd us in our misor-
tunes then it is that think sthe mother we have
lost-itis true, Thave always loved my mother, even
in my most needless days but felt how inconsid-
crate and in effectualhad been my love. NV heart

sleep in a mothers arms, and was without care and

face again in the grass Of the grave" oh that I
were once more by your side, sleeping, never to
wake again, to the cares troubles Of this world"

FILIAL AFFECTION OF THE MOORS.

young Moor from the country, who addre ssing him
by the usual appearion of foreign doctors in that
place, requested him to give him some drogucr to
Kill his father, and, an inducement, promised to
pay him well. The surgeon little surprised at

endowed me with all his possessions but he cannot
work any longer, he is old, and he seems unwil-

amablc philosophy of the Moors reasoning, and
promised to give him what he desired. He accord

days after he came again to say that his father

well-feigned surprise he will die He composed
accordingly another draught, for which he received
equal remuneration, and assured the Moor that it
would not fail in its effects. In fifteen days however
the Moor came again, complained that his father
hrived better than ever. Don't be discouraged Said
the doctor who doubtless found these periodical Vi

day the surgeon met his young acquaintance in the

equal to the insidious arts of dipomatist In one
his speeches he pronounced Gen. Harrison liar.
lie has been in almost every battle with the AmerI-
cans, from the time of Harmers defeat to that of the
Thames. few minutes before he received the
fatal hre of Col. Johnson, he had received musket
ball in his left arm, yet his efforts conquer ceased
only with his life. When youth, and before The
treaty of Greenville, he had so often signazed him
self, that he was repued of the boIdest of the
Indian warriors. In the first settlement of Kentuc-
Ky, he was peculiarly active in seizing boats going
down the Ohio, killing the passengers and carrying
of their property. He made frequent incursons in
Kentucky, he would invariably murder some of the
settlers, and escape with several horses laden with
plunder. He always eluded pursuit, and when too
closely pressed, wonld retire to the Wabash. His
ruling passion seems to have been giory-he
careless of wealth. and although his plundering and
subsidies must have amounted to a great sum, he
preserved little for himself After his fall on the
9th OF October, his person was viewed with great
interest by the officers and soldiers of Harrson's
Army. 1t was some time before the identy of his
person was sufficiently recognized, to remove
doubt as to certainty of his death.

EVENING.

"hat an impressive sensation does he of cult
vated mind receive, who during some fair au,urna,
evening" beholds the heavens with all their sol
emn grandeur, slowly and quietly assume the dusky
pail of night; and the small twnklng stars, one by
one, come glimmering to existence. All nature
with its busy hum seem stepped in soir, unconscious
sleep; and the mind, sympahzing with the general
quietness and peace, casts by all earthly cares and
finds repose in calm, and silent coptempIation.

To see our church excel the rest

THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE" IN the
multitude Of Coansellors there is satety."-Al-
though there is scripture for the principle, yet
we confess our doubts as to whether the prac-
tice cannot be carried too far The Massachu
sets Legislature, il is stated, at present. consists
Of upwards OF six hundred members. If these
should be, as they ought to be, all wise men,
without doubt Massachusetts would become the
best governed State in the universe, provided
they could agree tremendously in their legisa-
ton. But if they should agree to differ, there
would be pretty kettle Of fish; such mass Of
wisdom divided against ITSELF would, without
doubt, produce a collision that would 60 near
to set Boston bay in blaze, and frighen away
the sea serpent forever.
If on the contrary, this great body, as might
possibly happen, should, by any miraculous de-
fciency in acuteness among the good people of
Massachusetts, consist Of a majority Of block
heads what would become not only of that eX-
cellent State, but Of the whole Union? Such
terrible concentration of folly would be awful;
and if the old adage be true, that one fool
makes many, such body might infect the whole
Union with the contagion OF bad legislation
But admitting as we do, for the sake of argu-
ment, that all the members Of this multtudinous
assembly are wise in their gel Grafton; in that
case we think the sister States ought to protest
against such large monopoly of wisdom, which
must necessarily, we think, endanger the Union,
unless, as Nick BottOm says. the members
should "reStrain and aggravae" their wisdom
until it becomes utterly harmless. AS the man
in the Fairy Tale tied up one leg TO prevent his
running too fast, so in like manner are we of
opinion, that the constituency of the bay State
should tie mp one-half of their Legislators in the
STABLE and stall-feed them into unaccountable
vigor, while the other half are making them
selves lean. by eXhaling their superfuous wis
dom on the community Of the bay State. BY
this mode Of husbandng their resources they
would always have a succession Of wise men,
hale, hearty and vigorous, and without doubt
become still more the envy and admiration of

of law, for which they report bill, to regulate
the Deposites of the public money; and the en-
actmeht of one of the bills reported by Select
Committee in 1926, to regulate the patronage Of
the Government.
After the reading Of the report was finished,
the Joint Resolution proposing the distribution
Of the surplus revenue, and the two Bills, were
severally presented and read the first time.
Mr.. Calhoun moved that the Joint Resolution
be now read second time, with the view of max

Mr.. Benton objected TO its being now read the
second time, and, as it required unanimous con-
sent the second reading did not take place.
The bills were read a second time, by general
consent and, on motion Of MIR. Calhoun, made
the special order for Thursday next.

A LECTURE ON JEWELS

Tom Potts, a thirsty coobler, at the Boar,
Had drunk, one day, till they would trust no
more;
And vending homeward CHANGED awhile to stop,
Atthe gay window Of godsmith's shop;
His hat hung DER his brow in moody slouch
One hand was thrust into his empty pouch,
And one into his breast. He stood there think
ing
Upon the different modes and joys OF drinking.
"Ah, hap at last, said he, now that's your sort!
This purple stone is like to good old port,
Full rich and warm; and that one, yellow pale,
Is just the color of your amber ale.
Delicious stuff.-and yon, ofdeeper yellow,
Is old Jamaica rum, so strong and mellow.
Are not these diamonds cooks, as clear and
bright
AS drops ofpurest gin, they glad the sight;
And, that green stone, of hue so bright and fine,
What is IL like2-this plaguy head of mine!
What do We drink that's green let's think"
Z" All. Tom," replied voice which well he knew,
"Those gems are like some other things in hue
That ruby stone Is like his drunkard's nose,
The yellow ones are like tbs sallow cheek,
The purple bruises and black eyes bespeak.
Those crystal drops are like his poor wife'$
tears
When she beholes him drunk, his curses hears
And thinks how changed he is, how lost, no"
mean;
And, Tom, that other stone, so brightly green
ls-like the grass, that round thine own shop
door,
Begins to grow, since thou wilt work no more.
Tom heard his wife's rebuke, but ne'er replied
She ne'er rebuked before, but she had sighed,
Had wept in secret:-now her time she chose,
Nor chose it till. Next morning Tom arose,
Kept at his work, nor eer went near the Boar
Thus steady, he grew rich; paid OIL his score;
Nor ever lectured upon jewels more.
