HoME.-No man who has lived among
the peasants of Scotland, will deny the eff
fects produced on Them by their popular
songs. During the expedition to Buenos
Ayres, highland soldier, while prisoner
in the hands of the Spaniards, having form
ed an attachment to II woman Of the coun-
TRY, and charmed by the easy life which the
topical fertility of the soil enabled the in
hubitants to lead, had resolved to remain
and settle in South America. when he im-
parted his resolpiinn to his comrade, the
the latter did not argue with him but, lead
ing him to his tent, he placed him by his
side, and sang him " Lochaher nae mair."
| The spell was on him. The tears came in
to his eyes, and wrapping his plaid around
him, he murmered, Lochaher nae niair
| maun gang back" h" Ma !" The song oi
his childhood WINS ringing in h $ ears, and
he left that land of ease and plenty for the
max d rocks and s,ertile valleys of Baden
och, where ut the close of life of toll and
hardship, he might lay his head in his moth
er's grave Momhiy Repos.

lsensibiity to our peculiar fortunate situation.
THE stage is tolerable guarantee for brok-
en- homes, but by no meanes to be compared
with either of its rivals, because coachee is
iapt 10 have some respect for his horses, II
none for his passengers. Then many Of
them have foolish trick of being careful,
which, were the lives of hundreds instead of
tens committed to their care, they would
soon rid themselves of. Death by stage
conveyance we cannot recommend to those
seeking TO make way with thcnselves-un-
less indeed they will be advised 10 venture
to cross Washington-street at almost any
time of day when omnibuses are abundant.
Parental care is frequently relieved by con-
siderate drivers who are practical disciples
of Milihus, and for this we owe them much
but as the number Of children killed bears
no proportion to the number born, much in
the way of thinning off the surplus popula-
tion cannot be hoped from this source.
The steamboats, are very clever-partic-
ularly AT the South, and on the Mississippi !;
and as bread stuff is on The rise, philantro-
pists begin to hope a decrease in the num-
ber of mouths for the corn, by the racing,
wisely commenced by the Sound boats.
Still they do their business slovenly when it
is done-barely scading one to death for n
dozen merely parboiled, the poutice for
whose wounds consumes what might be
saved from the mouths of the killed. The
Western boats are becoming much to quiet !:
and indeed, there seems on all hands a re-
llnquishment of the business to the railroads.
Here, indeed, are the happiest devices for
eypedting business-despaching passen-
gers. Had the armies of the allies been
/ forwarded to Waterloo by master of trans
porlnlon, Napoleon's hundred days had
been prolonged during his natural life, and
81. Helena had been no more or less than
an insignificant rocky isle of the ocean.
Reader, is your life insured without n clause
excepting accidents Take conveyance on
railroad that your widow may bless your
memory Lay trap upon IL first aud if
you survive, the ten dollars fine will be but
small discount from the pleasure of the
adyenture-should you be killed, perhaps
the probate will excuse it to your wife.
Most excellent inventions whether the
facility of numbering careless men, deaf
ones, idiots and children be considered, or
the wholesale manglng of carloads. As
Alexander, who depopulated whole coun-
tries, was greater than the Thraclan robber

RANDOLPH, eccentric and passionate a
broad, was uniformly kind and generous AT
home. His slaves loved him with the strong
est affection. The return of" Massa Ran
dolph" from Congress was always greeted
with the utmost demonstrations of joy. A
slave trader once called on Randolph, and
not making known his purpose, he was in
vted to dine with him. At dinner the ira

tendance enquire9 his price of Randolph in
forming him at the same time that he was
engaged in the slave trade. Ii happened
that the slave IN question was one of Ran
dolph's favorte servants, The enraged
Virginian sprung from his table, and shook
his skeleton finger furiously at the " soul
driver" "Leave my house sir leave il
Instantly sir Am to be insulted at my
own tablet" The wretched slave-trader saw
that he had no time to lose. He fled from
the house and mounted his horse. Ran
doph called hastily for one of his own
horses, and seizing his pistols set off in full
chase after him. The dealer in hdman
flesh looked back g. saw the pale skeleton
figure of Roanoke, like Death on the pale
horse, close behind him. "OT of my
grounds, you rascal !" screamed Randolph
in his shrilest tones, lcvellng his pistol full
at the head of his afirighted guest. The
fellow plunged his spurs into his, horse, and
rode for his life over fence, and bush, hill
and hollow, until he had left behind him

THE HONEST BOY.

A gentleman from the country. placed his
son with a dry goods merchant in
street. For time all went on well-Al
length lady came into the store 10 pur.
chase silk dress, and the young man wait.
ed upon her, The price demanded was a.
greed to, and he proceeded TO fold the goods.
He discovered, before he had finished. flaw
in the silk, and pointing it out to the lady,
said madam, deem ii my duty to tell you
that there is fracture in the silk"
OF course she did not take it.
The merchant overheard the remark, and
Immediately wrote to the father OF the young
man to come and take him home; "for, -
said he, ne nil Rerer make merchant"
The father, who had ever reposcd conf.
dence in his son, was much grieved. and
FASTENED TO the city TO be informed Of his
deficiencies "Why will he not make a
merchant ?" asked he
Because he has no iaoi;n was the an.
swer. "Only day or two ago, he told d la
dy voluntarily who was buying silk of
him that the goods were damaged and lost
the bargain. Purchasers mast look out for
hemseires lfthey cannot discover flaws il,
would be foolishncss in me to tell them of
their existence"
And is that all his fault ?" asked the pa
rent
yes" answered the merchant "he is ve-
ry well in other respects"
Then | love my son better than ever );
and thank you for telling me OF the matter
would not have him another day in your
store for the world"

would make, is not rather taking the advan-

conjunction with two or three friends whose
writings are among the most valuable pro-
ductons of native literature. The volumes
were most accurately as well as beautifully
printed Before the sheets had reached the
binder, and long before they had fallen I'M

surprised with review of the work in one
of our best and most widely circulated litera-
ry journals, 1t was written with great
talent, as well as elegance and sprightliness
of style, and in the most friendly spirit. On
inquiring the name of our good natured and
able critic, the author was surprised to learn
that he was the composilor who had set up
all the manuscript, and who knew it only in
that way. Our friend has since laid down
the stick for the pen, and is now, as | trust.
wingng his way to fame and fortune IN
another country.

philosophy of memory. we leave to olher
hands Some of its phenomena, however
NAV be here stated Every body knows
that men remember some things more readI-

/. They remember Gg11opts and INJURIES
received, while they sc1"s forget injuries
done to others
?. They remember debts due to theTh'

3. They remember their S1G% d'edS'
while they forget their bad ones.
A. They remember the homage hey con
slider due 10 them from their interiors but
forget that which they owe to their supe

s. They remember what is connected
with their business, while they often com

THE TEXANS VICTORIOUS!

BY the Selma from New Orleans, in
S days hours, we received this NOR
ming, papers to the Sd Of May. Their
contents are given as much at large as
our time will permit.
New ORLEANS, sMay 8.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS.
We have been politely favored with
the following extract written to gen
tlelaan in this city, from Natchitoches,
which goes still further to corroborate
the account received by the Levant
which we publish to-day.
The substance of which is, that an
express has arrived here, via Natchi-
toches, from Texas, and is confirmed
by Gen. Gaines, that Gen. Houston of
Texas, has conquered Santa Anna and
his army. Santa Anna himself and his
soldiers all prisoners. The forces of
Santa Anna were estimated at LOO;
and those of Houston at GOO. The ex-
press further states that Houston's ar
my destroyed half of the Mexicans, and
the loss on his side was six killed and
twenty wounded.
All this is indeed cheering news, cal
culated to arouse all the better feelings,
which are implanted in the hearts of
those who can rejoice at the triumph Of
freemen over their civil and savage OPP
pressors. The intelligence received
early yesterday morning, and which is
also published, will be seen to be con-
firmed by the news brought by the Lee
want with the difference only that the
Of the killed and taken by &C.
neral Houston vary in amount.
