The annexed letter from gentleman IN FhIia-

York paners, and whose name, lineage, and per-
songI merits invcs, her with great interest for
every American We hope may consult the
qualification of our readers by giving publicity To
tho letter. without offending the delicacv ct her
whose character and attractions ii so eioquently

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 2S, ISIS.
The curiosity of this city had been much excl
ted some days ago by accounts oil Il remarkable
YOUNG person who was attracting great attention
IN New York. and i, has now been graiitied IN the
highest degree by her appearance here. Before
| attempt any description OF her person, viii give
YOU an imperfect sketch of what have gathered
OF her history. and very touching one II is re-
plete with unusual interest, especially 10 Ameri-
cans Her name is AMERICA NEsPUCCt. daugh-
Ter Of the illustrious house oVesPucc,of Fiorence
IN TUSCANY Nor has this name been indItier-
entity given TO her. She Is Il lneai descendant
Of the great navigator, Amerigo NcspnccI, after
whom This country has received its name OF Anne
RIGA. Since tho time when the name ct this re-
uowned dlscoverer was raised 10 50 1nucn olstihc-
ton the children of this house have borne IT un-
interrupiedlv, so that they may all be SAID TO ne
identified with this continent, and to be Ameri-
cans in a very lofty sense Of the word. The lady
of whom speak, and who is the first OF the family
who has honored this country with a VISIT rs
worthy OF every elogiun, both on account OF tue
dignity of her character. her intellectual endow-
ments, and degree Of personal beauty and grace
that has given her celebrity such rs few o. the
MODEST Tuscan DANES attain.
And now rs to the Immediate motive which
brought her. young, beautiful, and alone TO this
country. She makes no secret d this, and the
account she gives is corroborated from the high
est sources. An enthusiast. and connecting from
the earliest monet the love OF liberty with her
own cherished name. she had the misfortune 10
give offence the sovereign authority of her IA
i've country Neither her sex. her youth,
could prevail to except her from the austere ju3g-
ments which, at that time. fell upon political of
tenders. and she was banished Turned upon the
vide world alone. and with the most limited
means barely sufficient for her honest wants,this
igor, instead of prostrating her, aroused energies
within her she had been unconscious Of She
vent into world, then strange to her, undaun'-
ID, and her history and her unpretending merit

Yankee Philosophy never displayed itself 10 bet
ter advantage (says the \. Y Gazette) than in tho
case ofthe editor of the Nashau Telegraph. The
editor burnt out recently but with the recuper-
alive energy that specially belongs TO his country
men, he published his paper in few days with new
type, and with an improv ed appearance. That fire
could not burn out of him the indomltablc spirit
OF his race, is apparent enough from the following
paragraph, published in the irstnumber Of the re-
vived Telegraph. Jack Downing himself never
uttered a noblcr Yankeesm better philoso-
ply.

HINTS on HEALTH.-sA man. says Sir William
Temple, has but these four things to choose out
Ito exercise daily, TO be very temperate, to take
ptus;c or TO be sick We may venture To assert
with a much la ter writer, that tho principal Sc
crets of health early rising, exercise, person
al cleanliness and leaving the table unoppressed.
When a family raises early in tho morning
conclude the house to be well governed, and the
inmates Industrious aud healthy.
With respect to exercise, here IS simple and
benevolent law of nature-Earn, that you may
by exercise.
As much, perhaps may nc said concerning alb
luton as exercise. 'Dispoi the Ill humors from
the pores Cleanliness Is n virtue, though, not
the first in rank, of the first ut least in ne
cessiiy
On the subject of temperance, that sturdy NOR
alist Johnson speaking of n book IN which II
was recommended, observed, such a book should
come out every thirteen years dressed in the
mode of the times He that would eat mucb, SAYS
the proyerb must cat httle.' Let us not how
ever confound temperance with siarvaiion--on
the contrary it is strictly moderate eating. We
NAV be intemperatoly abstemious, as well as IN
ten,perately luxurious
From all that has been SAID and written on
the subiect--from the experience OF every age
and every Cline we may conclude, that they arc
the most healthy, who have nature TOR their cook
-hunner for their caterer; who have no doctor
hut the sun and fresh air and no other physic
than temperance and exercise
