iOotstcp unalIied 10 clay
As man erst did, ere shadow on his mirth,
Or clouds and darkness fell upon his day
How happy were our pathway to that land,
Where the pure hearted wander-an uniading band!
Spirit of Man Mysterious habitant
Well would he trace the story of tiny power
Well would that sympathy within us pant
To follow from tho glory of thy bower,
The Eden where thy lustre cloudess shone,
To the world wilderness-the weary way,
Where the vain tenants of that b over, alone,
Led by a voice they dare not but obey,
Wander d. Till, mingled with Mortality,
They sunk beneath the ringing sentence-hOu
shalt die!
They pass'd into the world-and rs they went
Sill mnsng on the shapes of coming years,
With step uncertain, and with faces bent
On the sad ground they waterd with their tears,
New thoughts within their brooding spirits rose,
With a strange mastery unfelt before
As when on opening ears faint music flows,
Or lights first beams on cloudIess eyebalIs pour
Spirits OF Life or Darkness that began,
AS Eden closd its gates, their empirage on Man.
1t was the bondage Of their Destiny
To wander and TO sufler-to abide,
Unmurmuring, the fate they could not fly,
Tho holy vengeance they had both defe d;
Yet Life should be but Tral-and reward
Should crown the struggling years, so Virtue led
To Heaven the heart its majesty had awed,
And lighted through the ordeal Of the dead
Hope in her angel robes still beckon'd hence,
And pointed to home Of noblor recompence

NEwspApERs-We hope the reader will not
be SO uncharitable as to think that we are actua-
ted by selfish motives, if we indite short article
upon the importance and general usefulness of
newspapers-the true circulating medium of the
mental world. The fact that their circulation is
rapidly increasing throughout the country, is cred
liable to the good taste and intelligence of the
people, and although we say it, who, perhaps,
ought not to say it, shows that they are becom-
ing more inclined to place just estimate upon
the value OF these brief chronicers of the times,
In a pecuniary point of view no man was ever
a loser by subscribing and promptly paying for
newspaper; for in whatever business he NAV he
engaged, he will be sure to find something appli
cable to it in the columns of well conducted
journal. If he has any thing to sell, his paper
will tell him what it is worth, and where he can
find market for it And when he has any
thing to purchase it will save him time and steps
by directing him =. once to the place where it
may be obtained.
But there is another point of view in which n
newspaper should be considered on, INDISPENSABLE
article IN eve,y family.
1t is the happy lot of every man in this free
country to enjoy the happy lot of participating in
its government, and of making his influence felt
in the selection of its public officers. No indi-
vidual can be qualified to exercise this precious
right, understandingly, unless he makes himself
acquainted with what is passing in the political
world, and with the merits of the various uues-
tons by which it is agitated. The requisite
knowledge on these points can only be obtained
from the newspaper press, whose peculiar bust
ness is to collect facts, and spread them before
the public.
But, pecuniary and political Considerations
aside, newspaper is worth forty times its cost to
the younger members of family, for the practi-
cal information it gives them Of what is going on
in the world, I'D for the important aid it renders
in qualifying them for the active duties of life. It
points out to them the shoals and quicksands
with which their path will be beset-strlps vice
OF its borrowed plumes, and takes from the head
OF folly its cap and bells: in short, it is a con.
dens'ng lens, through which they may look with

poses to publish paper with the above title in this

The object Of this paper will be the repeal of the

In stating the objects Of this publication, we imply
the existence of party adverse to those interests

striking instance occurred ofthe feelings of an untaugh

piece Of charcoal wrote upon it request that Mrs
Williams would send me that article. called q
chief, who was experimenting his portion ofthe work
and said to him.
sFriend take this 90 to our house. and give It &c
Mrs. Williams"
He was singular looking man, remarkably quick In
his movements, and had been great warrior; but in
of the numerous battles he had fought lost an
and giving me an inexprsssibe look with the other
he said.
s'Take that, she will call me fool, and scold me,
If carry chip TO heI."
''No,'' replied .she will not; take it and 90 i'm
med lately, for l am in haste".
Perceving to be in earnest, he took it and asked
"What must say?"
replied,
"You have nothing to say; the chip will cay all /
With look Of establishment and contempt, he held
up the piece of wood, and said,
6 How can this speak! Has it mouth"
desired him to take it Immediately, and not spend
30 much time in talking about it. On arriving at the
house he gave it to Mrs. Williams, who read it
threw it away and went to the tool chest whittier the

ceeding, followed her closely. On receiving the
squares from her; he said,
'Stay, daughter, how do you know that this is what
Mr.. Williams wants!"
"Why," she replied, '.did you not give me chip
Just now."
"Yes," said the astonished warrior, "but did not
hear il say any thing
s'If you did not did," was the reply, ofor II made
known to me what he wanted, and all you have to do
is to return as fast as possible"
With this the chief leaped out Of the house, and
catching up the mysterious piece of wood, he ran
through the settlement with the chip n one hand, and
the square in the other, holding them up as high as
his arms could reach, and shouting as he went.
sSee the wisdom of these English peoples they can
make chips talk; they can make chips talk!''
On giving me the square, he wished to know how
it possible thus to with person so far
distant. gave him all the Information in my power;
but it was circumstance involved in so much myste.
ry, that he actually tied string to the chip hung it
round his neck, and wore il for some time. During
several following days we frequently him sur
rounded by crowd, who were listening with intense
interest while he narrated the wonders which the chip
had performed.

From Harris Life of Bainbridge.
"During the captivity of our countrymen, and some
months previously to the conclusion Of the treaty Of
peace, the imprisoned sailors and marines Informed
Captain Bainbrdge by letter, that of their keepers
Neapolitan, had treated them with great humanity and
kndness and that they desirous Of reciprocatng
the favors which he had generously bestowed upon
them. This keepe, being slave, and anxious, like
themselves, to be liberated, they requested their
mander to authorize the purser advance from the pay
then due to them, the sum of seven hundred dollars
the amount demanded for his freedom. So as they
weie informed that peace concluded, their applica
tion renewed, and, in obedience to their Wishes
the money advanced them by the purser; the benevo-
