On passing up the Mississippi q few
days ago, we had among our passen-

the other an active, noble hearted, hot

passage, had been unremitting in his

We stopped for wood our Kentucky

phon, IN his life OF Socrates, presents
many examples of his modes of con.
veylng instruction TO young men,
One of these is very pertinent TO the
present times. Euthedemus, young
man, having collected many OF the
most celebrated poets and sophists,
was so much elated BY il as to fancy
himself superior to any other Of the
age, both in knowledge and abilities;
and doubted not 10 see himself the very
first man in Athens, Whatever the busi-
ness, whether to manage the affairs OF
state, or TO harangue the people. -
Socrates frequently drew Euthedemus
into conversation. or one Of these,

what a popular government is, without
knowing who are the peoplc?"

demus "and esteem those rich who
possess more than they want"
But have not you observed; Eu-

only enough for their necessary expen-

as to lay up part: while others are
in want, notwithstanding their large

recollect some princes, whose necessi-
ties have compelled them to deal iniu-
rlously by their subjects; even SO far
as to deprive them of their posses.
sions."
1t will follow then, Euthedemus,
that we should place these princes a
mong the poor, and the frugal MANA
gers of their little fortunes among the
rich, since these may be truly said to
live in affluence."
"They may replied Euthedemus;

WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM INDIANS

James Morgan, a native of Mary

after settled himself near Bryant's Sta

most pioneers of the West, he had cut
down the cane, built a cabin, deadened
the timber, enclosed a field with worm
fence, and planted some corn.
1t was on the 18th day of August, IT.
So; the sun had descended; pleasant
breeze was playing through the sur
rounding wood the cane bowed under
influence, and the broad green leaves
of the corn waved in the air ; Morgan
had seated himselfin the door ofhis cab.

From MExIco.-A letter published
IN the New Orleans Bulletin, dated
Mexico June 8, gives very gloomy
picture OF the state OF affairs in that
changelul republic. The letter states
that battle was fought on the Goth OF
May, (of which we have had previous
accounts) between the government for.
ces and the revolutionary party at San
Luis the latter were defeated, and
their lender, Gen. Moctczuma, killed.
He was, however, taken by surprise.
while ioraging his cavalry. Attacked
With large body of cavalry and in.
fantry, before he had time 10 parade
and form his troops--the troops from
Metamoras had not arrived. / hear
that Government have sent orders TO
have all the prisoners shot--this was
the most alarming instruction that
has occurred for some time, and threa.
tened the overthrow ofthe government.
II is supposed by some persons that the
master spirit OF these popular excite
ments, is the hero Of Tampico, San Ja.

quiet at Magma de Clavo.

which party is in power, in Mexico, as
it is but system of legalzed robbing
by all the authorities, so long as they
can retain power. 1t is thus that San.

same profitable plan will doubtless be
pursued by his successorsin authority.

LADIES' HEARTs.-The female heart. as
far as my experience goes, is just like
new India Rubber shoe, you may pull at
it, and pull at it. till it stretches out yard
long, and then let 60, and it will fly back
to lis old shape. Their hearts are made
of stout leather, tell you there's pla
guey sight of wear in 'em.-iSam Slick.
