| ed to teach the Tree school OF Colchester, Conn.
and was subsequently,, it is believed, graduated al
Dartmouth College, after which he taught in Bos-
ton. From Boston he went TO Hayti, where he
was employed by Christophe, the first crowned
monarch of the new world" as his agent, to i'm
prove the state of education in his dominions and
was sent to Europe to procure means of instruc-
ton. In England he was treated as minister
plenipotentary, and his cognomen being mistaken
for his title, he was conversant with the nobility,
and admitted into the society of the King, and
quite at home at the house of Sir Joseph Banks,
then President of the Royal Society.
From some cause or other, his conduct in Europe
did not please his royal master, and on his return
home, he was dismissed from his employment.
After remaining short time in Hayti he return
ed to this country, studied divinity, and at one
time oficialed in church in Philadelphia.
How long he remained here the writer knows
not but he removed hence to Hayti again, and al
the time Of his death was attorney general of the
government AS he was an extraordinary man,
It is hoped this notice of his death may be the
means of calling forth farther particulars respect
ing him.
One anecdote of Prince we are enabled to give,
which is both characteristic and amusing. While
residing at Boston, before he left this country he
was good deal noticed by several of the princi-
pal families in that city on account of his intelli-
gence and good conduct-their treatment of him
being of the character best signi6ed by the word
patronzing. For instance, they would lend him
books, advise and assist him on occasions of emer-
gency, &c and one lady in particular who took
much interest in his welfare, would occasionally,
when he called upon her at her breakfast hour,
as was sometimes the case, give him cup of cof-
fee, which he would drink standing behind her
chair.
This lady afterwards visited England, at the
time when Prince was running his round Of
" Hoaizatiom" there and one morning he called
upon her while at breakfast She had heard
something of his newly acquired greatness, and
felt embarrassed in deciding how to treat him,
The /" standing cup, (which she had been accus-
toned to profer him, might not now be exactly
the kind ofcourtesy he would expect-and she
was not quite prepared to give him seat at her
table, and place him on the footing of an equal.
In this dilemma 1t occurred to her that the best
way would be, to put her cvity in such a shape
as would throw the solution of the difficulty on
Ihm-trnstng. that his good sense, and recollec-
ton of the past would relieve her from embarrass-
ment She therefore asked him, not to sit down
and take breakfast with her, but whether he had
breakfased.
Thank you, Madam" was Princes answer,
given with all the ease and Indifference of an ac-
compshed lion" Thank you madam, | am

Crows can be caught intoxicated but once.

The following amusing article is extracted
from the Peori QlIinois) Register.
"Coonel B. has one ofthe best farms on the Hin

in the spring, the crows seemed determined on its
entire destruction. When one was killed, it seem

though the sharp crack of the rife ofren drove
them away, they always returned with its e.
cho.
The Colonel at length became weary of throw
ing grass, and resolved on trying the virtue of
stones. He sent to the druggist for a gallon of
alcohol, in which he soaked few quarts of corn,
and scattered it over his field. The black legs
came and partook with their usual relish; and,
as usual they were soon pretty we'll corned; and
such cooling and cackling-such struting and
staggering! The scene was lke-but | will
make no invidious comparison-yet it was very

When the boys attempted to catch them, they
were not a little amused at their staggering gait
and their zigzag course through the air. At
length they gained the woods and there being join

they united at the top of their voices in haw, haw,

But the Colonel saved his corn. AS soon as
they became SOBER they set their faces steadfastly

On the Death of Mrs. BeckIey.
How sweet her sleep! those lips still wear ..
ling ring smile, Of beauty rare,
Even in deaths embrace;
The pale, fair hands, as if at rest,
So coldy folded DER her breast,
With more than living grace.
Long had disease preyd on that form,
Yet calmly how'd she meath the storm,
Nor murmur'd at her fate
Even the mothers heart, subdu'd
To meet with Christian fortitude,
Whatever might await.
Tho still affection strong must be,
To cloud her hopes futurity ..t'
Sometimes, with bitter tears
In thinking of her lov'd ones, LEFT
So early, of her care berery
To guide their tender years.
Love for her husband, too, might cling
Sometimes, TO droop the spirits wing,
And win it back to earth;
Yet wrong, it were, that love to blame,
For who may dare to say, the fame .
Had not in Heav' its birth.
No more shall pain that bosom heave,
Nor SORROW the freed spirit grieyc,
Which hath left its cell:
And Joy supreme, it to her
That meek and trusting wcrshipper,
20 bid earths scenes farewell
Atho' affection oft will sigh
Warm, gushing tears oft dim the eye.
For that dear, cherish one,
Rather than wish her here again,
Subject to agonizing pain,
Joy, that her task is done.
And thou, to whom she was most dear
Art like some tree, which lightnings sere,
Blightng its wiring pride;
But round that tree the ivy clings-
Sweetly, in vernant beauty, springs
The leafess DO ughs to hide.
And til US, thy children, shall to thee,
Affections lovely ivy be,
Wreathing around thy heart;
Softly, shall steal thy thoughts away
From brooding DER this sleeping clay
New charms to life impart.

Its mothers lineamens, SO fair;
Possess her gentle mind

A voice as sweet as falling dew,
Shall whisper, &C be resign'd."
Tho clothd to thee, in sombre hues. -E

And summer mocks thy woe;
