LORD BYRoN.-We were cOnversinp
one morning with the Earl of S. in the
breakfast parlOur at W--House, that
abode Ofelegant and fine hospitality on the
Eastern shore of Maryland; we expressed
to his Lordship our regret that Byron had
not recovered from his feverish attack at
Missolonghi-slnce there was every pro.
liability, that, in the career Of usefulness
which was opening before him, he would
have become better and wiser man.
Never said his Lordship, with emphasis;
and continuing in his peculiar manner let
me give you notion. How do you sup
pose Lord Byron was supported during the
last years of his lifel We replied, on the
income of his estate, and from the sale of
works. No such thing replied the Earl;
Lady Byron enjoyed an income from her
own estate of about 10000 year, one
halfof which she devoted with tie most dis.
interested benevolence to the support of
her unworthy lord. Tbs is a piece of
information upon which you may RELY,
since obtained It from the bankers through
whom the money passed.
If this statement be correct-and, con-
s:dering the highly respectable scource
from which it is derived, there can be no
doubt that it is so-Lord Byron's charac.
ter appears in a blacker light than any in
which it has been hitherto been exhibited

MAJOR NED BUCKETS LETTER.

Every one has heard Of the immortal
"Ned Bucket" the author of the Bucket
letters. He wrote to John Quincy Adams
whilst John was President ofthese United
Slates) so often, so forcibIy, so graphi-
cally, and so eloquently, that the Presi-
dent wrote back to the postmaster at Co.
lumbus Ohio, to know if Mr.. Edwin Buc-
ket was "a resp nSibls man."
Ned is a glorious fellow--he was at
Goliad at the time of the massacre-he
was led out to be shot-he lodged the balls
and came into our camp, then situated at
Crosses on the Brazos des dos river.
Ned told US the story himself Of hiso es-
cape. Says Ned-''they fired aud I fell
4 rose unhurt, and put out; on the bank
of the river Mexican soldier put his
bdyonet into my back, and then, and then,

To APPRENrcEs.-The only way for q
Young man to prepare himself for useful
mes is to devote himself to study during
his leisure hours. First be industrious
in your business; never complain that YOU
are obliged to work, go to it with alacrlty
and cheerfuluess, and it will become a ha-
bit which viii make you respected and
beloved by your master or employer;
make II your business to see and promote
his, yod win learn to take care Of your
own. co.
Young men Of the present day are 700
fond Of getting rid Of work; taey seek for
easy and lazy employment, frequently turn
out to be your miserable vagabonds. You
must avoid all wishes to live without labor;
labor Is q blessing rather than curse; |
makes men healthy and procures teen
food, clothing and every other necessary
I aind. and free them fton temptations to b
dishonest.

lst thousands are ignorant of the first rudiments
OF education who seek our country, and time must
be afforded them for improvement in the various
pursuits which control their habits and regulate
their intercourse with our citZens before they
be qualified to perform the duties or appreciate the
privileges of American citizens The fundamen-
lal principles of the European Governments, and
that OF the United States, differ in every essential
particular: there, regard is had to the diffusion
of knowledge among the lower class of the peo-
pie; here, one of the first duties of the Govern
ment is TO communicate intelligence to the young
through system of common-schoo education;
the most humble are educated and all fitted for
usefulness when they arrive at mature age. With
improved judgments, with minds cultivated, with
their moral, social, and physical condition regula-
ted and enlarged by education, they at once enter
upon the various duties of life, qualified to become
useful citizens; and without these essential re-
quisites, in degree, the privilege of citizen
ship must be exercised in an imperfect manner
Great complaint is also made that frauds are
pracsed in the courts of inferior jurisdiction, in
procuring certificates of naturalization; this may
In some degree, be avoided by submitting the ex-
ecution of the law to the United States courts,
or the supreme courts of the several States. 1t is
also thought advisable to require previous dec
aration, in all cases to be made of record, of the
intentions of the applicant to become citizen, to
entie him to obtain certificate Of naturaiza-

AN ITEM OF WAR-EXPENSES.

Ii was lately asserted on the moor OF
Congress without contradiction, that the
war in Florida has already cost us not
less than thirty millions Of dOtlaTs!-
The incidental losses of war are generally
from two 10 Iour times as much as Its d.
rect expenses; but, if only equal IN the
present case, this petty, shameful contest
with handful of Indians has sacrlnced,
on our part alone, more than Soo'ooo'oOO;
u SUN more than twenty times as great
as the average amount annually contrib
uted during the last ten years by all
Christendom for evangelizing the world !;
and the bare interest upon it, amounting
at six per cent to S3,600,0o0, would be
nearly ten times as much as all the Chris
.tians in our own land have given in ann
one year for the spread Of the gospel
Bring the case home to our own in
terests. These S3OO00,0OO come of
course from the pockets ofthe people; and
as the number of taxable persons in this
country does not exceed 100000, every
such person must pay an average of ten
dollars each. Do you ask how? Few
stop to reflect or inquire; but every one
that uses tea or coffee, sugar or moIasses,
silk or broadcIoth. cotton or hemp, lead
or iron, almost any article you can name,
is compelled under cover of imposts, to
pay the tax which goes to sup port the
war system. In this way every person
in the land pays a tribute to war; and
this tax has in England amounted in some
cases 10 thirty times the first cost of the
article. SIR1s.

FIGHTING CHRISTIANS.

MAKE all men Christians" say some,
land wars will cease" As a comment
on this common remark, l will relate a
circumstance which was told me bv an
aged minister Of the gospel, who lives in
one Of our seaport towns.
He said, that, during the last war, a
member Of his church, apparently pious
man, boughta share in q privateer, and
went out in her They fell in with a
British ship that had not heard ofthe war.
In bringing her to, this Christian fred in
TO the ship, and morally wounded the
captain. When this professor of religion
boarded the prize, the captain was cxpir-
ing, and had on y time to learn, that the
United States had declared war against
Great Britain; and his last words were,
:" Good God, am I killed by an Ame,i-
can T. 1t was supposed that the British
captain was particularly attached to the
Americans.
We never hear man say, :" let slavery
continue until all men become Christians
let lntemPerance continue until all men
become Christians; or, what amounts 10
the same thing, that there is no need oil
any special efforts in the cause of temper
ance; for. when all men become Christ
ians they will become temperate. But We
often hear, and sometimes from ministers,
the above remark, make all men Christ
ians, and wars will cease; and therefore
there is no need of any special effort tc
abolish war; Which is as much as tc
say, "let Christians &C ntinue to shoot anc
stab one another, until all men becom,
Christians"
