PROSPECTUS
PEARL RIVER BANNER.

FF'HE undersigned propose to publish at the
town Of MONTICELLO, Mississippi, weekly
News Paper by the above name. We are well ar
ware that in attempting to commence the publica-
ton ola paper this time, that we will have 70
labor under serious disadvantages; but we feel
assured that we will be sustained by the people Of
the South Eastern part Of our State, as they are
wholly unsupplied with press in that section; we
allude to the counties south of Brandon and Pua-
ding.
tits usual in prospectus 10 say something or
the objects Of paper, proposed to be pubished'
and the principles upon which it is to be conduct
ed O,m object--for we will speak out frankly,
il first to make our paper source ofprodt to our
selves, and secondly while we advance our own in,
rest, make an honest effort to advance the inteT-
cst aud happiness of those who patroliize as, =
We will endeavor to make our paper profitable
md interesting to our patrons, by the discuss
sion and elucidation of those subjects, which will
be most interesting and useful to them. These
sibiccta we suppose to be those relating to inc
-rea agricultural interest Of the ,counry-Ihe
sound moral principles o. the community-ln
short the intellectual Improvement Of the great boz
dy Of the peoplc upon oil subjects affecting their
happiness and prosperity Our political principles
are those entertained by Washington and Jeficr-
son. In favor Of a just and strict construction OF
the Constitution. We believe that all powers not
granted 10 The Federal Government, are reserved
70 tho S,a,esor to tho People; and that all viola
TONS Of the reserved rights of the States, is VI
olation Of the Constitution and dangerous usur-
nation on the part Of the Federal Government. =
The prcscnt situation Of our country affords mel-
ancholly example OF thc consequences Of the Tx
s~utve throwing aside the Constitution and d'sre-
rard;nr all the checks and restraints which that
ronstitution had imnosed on him, and acting WITH

And wraps the spirit with its spell.
would not seek excitement's whirl,
Where pleasure wears her tinse crown
And PASSIONS b:llows upward curl,
Meath Hatred's darkly gathering frown.
The dearest hoon from Heaven above,
Is bliss which brightly allows home;
IT'S sunlight to the world of love,
And life's pure wine without its foam.
There is a sympathy Of heart
Which consecrates the social shrine,
Robs grief Of gloom, and doth impart
A JOY to gladness all divine.
1t glances from the kndling eye,
Which DER Affection sleepless tends
1t gives deep pathos to the sigh
Which anguish from the bosom rends-
Itplays around the smiling lip,
When Love bestows the greeting kiss,
And sparkles in each cup we sip
Round the domestic board of bliss
Let others seek in wealth or fame,
A splendid path whereon to tread
Id rather wear IOwlier name,
With loves entertainments round it she'd
Fame's bnt a light TO gild the grave,
And Wealth can never calm the breast
But Love, halcyon on Life's wave,
Hath power 10 soothe lis strifes to rest.

garded by the selfish. Hardly had she expired,
but the scene changed. Two domestics carried
out her body on hand-barrow from the palace to
her private home. The king stood at the win
dow as her remains were carried by. "The
Marchioness will have bad weather on her jour
ney."
II is common remark that the ruling passion
displays itself in the last hour. The Pickering
lamp blazes with unusual brightness just as it ex.
Pires. ''rhe fit gives vigor as it destroys" He
who has but moment remaining, is released from
the common motives for dissmulation; and time
that lays his hand on everything else, destroying
beauty, undermining health and wasting the
powers Of life, spares the ruling passion' which
is connected with the soul itself. That passion

man mind springs at once into fertility-from
yagueness into character--from dullness into VI
gor and beauty, under the charming wand of
love- But letus proceed:
On glittering night in August, we saw lights
flashing about the house, and people hurrying up
and down, as on some urgent OCCASION by de-
grees the tumult subsided--the passing backwards
and forwards became less frequent-and at last
tranquility was restored single light burning
in an upper window, alone, told that some one
kept watch throughout the night. The next
mornino 1--WE were told) the knocker of the house
was shrouded in white leather; and the lady had
lbrouoht her husband child! We drank to its
health in wine.
For few days quiet hung upon the house.
But it was doomed speedily to depart. Hurry
and alarm came again. Lights were seen once
more fickering to and fro. The physicians car
riage was heard. 1t came-and departed. The
maid now held her apron to her eyes. The hus-
band, burying his face in his hands, strove (now
vainly) to hide world of grief
Ere long, the bedroom window was thrown
open--the shutters of the house were closed-and
in week hearse was at the door. The mystery
was but clear-she was dead!
She died! No poet ever wove around her the
gaudy tissue of his verse. The grave she sleeps
in is probably nothing more than the common
mould. Her name even is unknown. But what
of this? She lived and died, and was lamented.
The proulcst can boast of little more She made
the light and happiness of one moral creature, fond
and fragile, like herself. And for a name-a
tomb-alas! for all the purposes of love, nothing
is wanted save a little eartI--nothng but to know
the spot where the beloved one rests forever.
We fear, indeed, TO give the creature whom we
have boarded in our hearts to the deep and ever
shifting waers--to the oblivion of the sea! We
desire to know achere it is that we have laid our
fading treasure. Otherwise, the pilgrimage is as
easy (and as painfully to the simple church-yard
hillock, as 10 the vault in which the king reposes.
The gloomy arches of stately tombs-what are
they to the grandeur of the overhangiug heavens!
and the cold and CHASTITY marble, how poor and hi
deous it is, in comparison with the turf whereon
many daisy grows!

DEATH-BED OF MADAME poMpApoUR.

4 H.
The thoughts Of vanity, in the example chosen
by the poet, extended to appearances after death;
vanity is not inactive in the dying hour. But
here we-should look for proof to the precincts Of
courts, to the scene where folly used to reign by
prescriptive right, where the ample means Of gra-
tfication permitted obstacles to indulgence
The fobes of the poor are bounded by their DO
verify, the vices of humble life are concealed in
the obscurity of neglect and oblivion To trace
the display of vanity, triumphant in the hour ot
mortality, observe the voluptuaries whom the
pride of opulence has rendered Indifferent to de-
corum. Enter the palaces, where caprice giyes
law, and pleasures consume life. The idle foo
has leisure for oly and the fit lasts to the lates
moment Go there, and observe the harlot's en-
thanasia. The French Court was at Choisey
when Madame de Pompadour felt the pangs of !
mortal malady. 1t had been the established et
quette, that none but princes and persons of roya
blood, should breathe their last in Versailles

chambers, where vice has fearIessly lived and
laughed, but not been permitted to expire. be We
now the witnesses of the novel scene.
The marchoness questioned the physicians
firmly; she perceived their hesitation; she fell
the hand Of death; and she determined, saws the
historian, to depart in the state of queen. Louis
XIV HIMSELF not capable of strong emotion. was
yet eager to concedc to his dying friend the con-
ISOLATION which she coveted, the opportunity IN
reign till her last gasp. The courers thronoed
round the death-bed of woman, who distributed
favors with the last exhalations of her breath and
the king hurried to to public Offices the per
sons whom she recommended with the falterino
accents OF departing life. The sick chamber was
scene OF state; the princes and grandees still
entered to pay their homage to woman. whose
power did not yield to mortal disease. and were
surprised to find her richly attired. The traces
u ueath IN her countenance were concealed by
rouge. She recllned on splendid couch: oues-
TONS OF public policy were discussed bv m;n;s,ers
