An Assortment.-A few days since was
amused by observing on the corners ofthc
street, advertisements containing q notice
of o ''church for sale or TO let" This an
nouncement reminded me of a joke con-
nected with old S., of Burlington, who
was noted for keeping in his store the most
incongruous assortment ever offered for
sale. A way once bet with frined that he
would inqirc for some nick-nack which
Jenny could no: supply. The bet was
clnched, and the two proceeded to the sho
of the old antiquarian.
"Fricnd s." said the quiz, shave you
on hand good second hand pulpit"
"Yes sill" replied the unsuspecting shop
keeper, without the least idea Of there being
any thing uncommon in the question. "les
sir, bought one yesterday from the trustees
of the Methodist church, who are fixing up
the interior ofthcir meeting house"
So saying, he showed them to the barn
where this most curious article Of trade had
been deposited. The winner laughed, the
loser bit his lips and paid the wager, while
Jemmy's character for keeping an assort-
ment of goods, became more firmly cstab-
lished than before

No citizen ofthe United States, who is out
of the reach ofthe party excitement in which
the plot ofthe Revolutionists was engender-
ed, but must rejoice in the salutary, prompt,
and decisive rebuke which the People have
administered to them at the election held in
the State of Maryland on Monday last. For
ourselves, we 90 most sincerely rejoice in
this triumph of Republican principles.
We should be glad to be able to promise
a similar result at the election in Pennsyl-
vania, which is to be held next week. We
are not sanguIac, however, Of the success
of that election. There are too many ques.
tions mixed up with il, which do not proper
ly belong to either party side, to allow Of
any confidence in the event. At the elec-
ton in November, when the single question
Is to be tried between two candidates for
the Presidency, we entertain little apprehen-
sion Of any other than a favorable result,
because it is plain question Of preference
between two individuals. But we shall not
consider the election, now Immediately at
hand, fair test of the strength Of the oppo.
sition in Pennsylvania to the Baltimore nom.

A1rfI ercnt and SINGULAR attachment OF

.AcfM eccnt and singular attachment OF
an artist IN Death.-A late London paper
furnishes US an account of young man OF
the name of Picard who resided at Hamp-
stead and who had been for sometime a.
tached to a female of the same place, but
peculiar circumstances, ioind TO his i'll state
of health, had retarded their union. Picard
was in the last stage consumption, and had
been confined within doors nearly twelve
months, and to his bed several weeks
His speedy dissolution appeared certain.
Nevertheless, on Monday evening he de-
termined on being united to the object OF
his affections on the ensuing morning; ac-
cordngly, about o'clock, he was with diff
ficulty dressed, and, assisted by the arm OF
his intended brother in-law, proceeded to-
wards the church with firmness which as
tonishcd all his friends and neighbors.-
Just, however, as he arrived atthe lodgings
fhis intended bride, exhausted nature could
do no more-the bridegroom sank IlteIess
in the arms of his relatives. He was inn
mediatey conveyed home, and every res
torative medca! aid could suggest was in
effectually administered-the vital spark
was totally extinguished. He had suppor-
ted, with the fruits Of his ingenious labors
as a miniature printer, an aged and widowed
mother.

Vinegar in Crecm.-The difficulty and
labor frequently attending the churning of
butter, led me to try a variety Of experiments
to ascertain if method could be discover

the usual mode. After trying several things,
I found that by adding a table spoonful of
good vinegar to four gallons of cream, when
but into the churn, obtained butter in from
seven to eight minutes. Ifthis information

Navigating the lddkin.-lhls has long
been spoken of-in fact thousands were at
one time. we mus: say foolishly, expended
on the river to render it navigab.e; and yet
there is not even as much as a flat bottomed
boat at this time plying on its waters farther
north than Cheraw, S. C. Happily, how.
ever, this subject, Of such infinite importance
is again we hope, about to receive some
attention:-the idea of instituting Shallow
Draught Steam Boat Navigation has recent
ly been brought forward, and as it is well
known that many of our inland streams are
navigated with steam vessels drawing but a
few feet water, it would appear that such
boats could be used and effectually too, on
this river running through the entire breadth
of our State. From communication in
the Carolina Watchman, by G. w. Pearson,
who made a survey Of the Yadkin from
about IL miles above the Surry line, to the
Montgomery line, at Stokes Ferry, a dis
tance of about 80 miles, it seems that in
that distance there are 3s shoals, about one
third of which could be passed in common
water with boats drawing D to 3 feet water
and that in fact there are but or 6 shoals
in the whole distance presenting any serI-
Gus distractions, and admitting that the ra-
pids at each shoal would average OF a 4 mile
there would still be fifty-fve and a half
miles smooth water-that is from the fiat
Swamp. to Beams shoals in Surry.

Earthquakes cure for Cholera.-It has
often been said that artificial thunder, as the
firing of cannon or the rolling Of cannon
balls, is sometimes called, has been Of ma.
terial service in dissipating the causes Of
some diseases. We have so far been
faithless, and our faith is only shaken now,
from the fact, that at Layback in Ilyra the
Colera broke out last June, and on the 25th

ARTIFICIAL EYES.

We can ourselves bear witness TO the &C.
curacv of the statements in the following
communication. Doctor Walde,a a few days
ago, brought the gentleman referred to, to
our office, and we were both surprised and
delighted to witness the perfection with which
the Doctor had supplied his patient with a
new eye. The artificial eye was so precisely
like the natural one that 10 person, without
the closest examination, could discover any
difference. What is most astonishing is,
that the regular movement of the natural eye
is given TO the artificial one, and the move
ment of the one corresponds precisely with
The other. Little or no pain is experienced
by the person having one put in or set. No
person who has been so unfortunate as 10
lose an eye, ought to remain without an ar
tifcial one single day. The triumph of
art, as exhibited in this case, is truly Won
dcrful.

Mr.. EDITOR,
Sir: was last week favored by q visit
from Mr.. Boal, of this State and it was
only minute examination, | discovered he
possessed the blessing Of sight with but one
eye, the other, which he informed me, was
inserted by DR.. Wade; being so justin the
coloring, so brilliant in expression, and SO
true in motion, that in my opinion it would
battle the skill of almost any person to dis
cover the difference between the natural and
artificial eye. | feel myself in duty bound
to give this publicity, and the more so, as |
have previously witnessed the success of

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED
"Matamoras, Sept 16-Our town remains
filled with officers and soldiers. We have at
least 1000, and they are without money, which
makes themfar more disagreeable than they
otherwise would be. They are also divided in
their political opinions, and several attempts
have been made to pronounce, and in case OF
such an event, there will be saqaco, which
will result with the loss ST the lives Of many
foreigners, as we'll as their property. 1t is sup
posed by many that the single star will soon
appear on the banks of our river. This town
will be an easy conquest: 1900 men would
take it, and in all probability without firing a
gun. We have no information of any troops
arriving from the interior, and it is generally
believed that Mexico will never be able to send
a force to Texas again. Their independence
may be safely calculated upon.
Nothing of much interest from Texas. A
party of the Texian troops had made des-
cent on La Bexon,: :and taken possession of that
place.

If it be true that the Indians have deter.

the Mexicans approach the settlements east

TOO LATE.

Sinner, so long as thou standest or
this side the grave, it is never too late fol
thy repentance. Such is the holy com.
fort which streams from Christ's words or
the Cross. IT Is TOO LATE2 O word
Of horror, already fallen like Gods thun.
der on many a heart Of man. See that
! father. who rushes out ola house in flames
thinking, that all his beloved ones are ar.
ound him. He counts-one dear head is
yet mlssing-he flies back-N is too late!
IS the moaning sound that strikes his ear;
the walls fall in amidst rushing stream
Of fame, andhe sinks lifeless to the earth.
But who is this that presses through the
gloem ofthe night on a breathless steed!
1t is aprodigal wanderer, in the way of
sin-he would fain hear from the lips of
his dying father the words; 4 forgive thee.'
Look he has reached the place-yet a
moment and be has reachedthe door
st's too late shrieks the voice of his
moiher-those lips are dumb forever! and
he falls swooning IN, her arms. Behold
you that victim.onthe bloody scaffold-
and that headsn1an who whets the MUIR
derous steel.-The multitude stand hush
ed and shuddering. But 10! who is he
that yonder comes in sight, on the distant
eminenee, making signs Of Joy? 1t is
the Kings courier-he brings a pardon!
He comes nearer and uearer-.'P Pardon!"
resounds, first softly, and then with in
creasing,loudness among the crowd-N is
too late i! that guilty head has fallen.
Yea, how fearful since the earth has
stood, has rung upon many human heart
that penetrating sound, II is too late? o
who can depict to me the CONSERVATION
that shall be, when on the limit which di-
vides time from ctel unity, the voice of the
righteous Judge shall utter 1t is too late.
Long have the widegates of the Kingdom
Of Heaven stood oPPssSS; oPsS; long nave IFS mes
sengers cried, one after another" To-day
to.dsy If ye will hear his voice." o man!
man! how shall itbe when these gates shall
once be shut with dread clangour-t toreper!
Therefore strive to enter in at the strait
gate for manyI say unto you, will seek te
enter in and shall not besable, when once
the master: ofsthe house is risen up and
hath shut to, The door,and ye begin. to stand
without, and to knock at the door, saying
Lord, Lord open unto us and he-shall an
swer and say unto you, 'know not whence
ye are.
