sketch of senator Bcntom.

The great majority of newspaper read
ers. we are confident, entertain very erro-
ncous ideas respecting Senator Benton
his personal appearance-his intellectual
powers--his manner Of speaking--and his
political standing. We well remember
with what an incredulous feeling we first
looked down upon the Missouri Senator,
from the reeking and steaming gallery Of
the Senate, where we were engaged III
the unenviable occupation of taking notes
upon the crown of hat. Is that Col
Benton thought we. Is that the "great
Missouri humbugger ?" The truth is he
did not look like a ''humbugger," at all,
There was nothing of that coarseness
and vu!garity in his manner, which we
had been led to expect, by the never va
rying expressions OF the newspaper press,
in relation to this man. Instead of great,
red faced, rough braggadocio, we saw a
calm, handsome, portly gentemar--thc
very beau ideal Of great statesman. In
stead of rude, ranting, and violent denun-
citation, we heard the mlldest and most
melfluous flow of harmonious sounds
The newspapers have done this Senator
great injustice. We state no more than
truth when we say that Col Benton is an
elegant specimen of a perfect gentlcman
in dress and manners. The common por-
traits Of him are very correct. Indeed his
features are so strongly marked, that it is
hardly possible for an artist Of tolerable
skill not to obtain good likeness. Even
in the most ordinary Of the political carl.
caturcs, person who has ever seen the
man, or has become at all familiar with
his appearance, will discover the resem.
blance at once. Col. Benton always
dresses in that plain, but elegant style
which is remarkable for nothing but It's
simple elegance, and is the true mark Of {
gentleman. He wears fine black broad
cloth coat, adapted in its cut to his years
and station, and the fashion Of the times
black stock, black inexpressibles, and {
black satin vest, single breasted, with {
! low standing collar. His linen is very

A Circnssinn Rrcnkfa-t.

In walk over one of the hills this
morning, | saw abundance of hazels,
bramble berries, wild rose, scented haw-
thorn, Just Towering, and deep beds of
fern nothing in short that struck me as
differing essentially from the clothing of
our own mountains, except the luxuriance
of the vegetation. The climate is said to
have neither heat nor cold in the extremes.
The dogs at the iarm-houses appear to be
of the very same breed as those of our
hills, and they are equally inhospitable ;
but their masters do not participate in
their surliness, for peasant at one oil
these houses where ] asked my way,
brought me back the greater part of it.
1t was well had good walk, for on my
return, found a kid had been killed,
which helped to furnish genuine noun
tain breakfast, the detail OF which shall
give as specimen of the abundance there
for am with family which, as said, is
considered to be in moderate circumsian-
ces. First, sweet cake and milk were
served then, on clean wooden four
footed tray, great mess OF thick pasta

with'a wooden bowl stuck in the midst,
filled with sauce of milk, walnut oil.
and capsicams and around the pasta on
the tray Gor there are no plates) were ar
ranged pieces of the boiled kid, from
which one of the sons helped me to the
tit-bits. Next came a large bowl of milk
with pasta mixed in it; and was alrea-
dy more than breakfasted, when there
was served large bowl of excellent kid
broth, thickencd with beans, of which al
so was obliged to taste. After me break
tasted a Turkish stranger and my servant ;
after them the father of the family, who,
before he began, handed two large pieces
of the kid to his Russian serf, and then
the sons took the remains to their own
house to breakfast there.

The Habits of n ygnn of Isusincss.

A sacred regard to the principles of JUS
tice forms the basis of every transaction,
and regulates the conduct of the upright
man of business. He is strict in keeping
his engagements---does nothing careless
ly, or in hury-cmploys nobody to do
what he can easily do himself; keeps
every thing in its proper place ; leaves
nothing undone which ought to be done,
and which circumstances permitted him to
do ; keeps his designs and business from
the view of others ; is prompt and deci
sive with his customers, and does rot
oycrtrade for his capital; prefers short
credits to long ones, and cash TO credit
transactions, at all times when they can
be abyantageously made, either in buying
or selling, and small profits, with little
risk, to the chance of better gains with
more hazard. He is clear and explicit in
all his bargains leaves nothing to the
memory which he can and ought to com
nit to writing keeps copies of all impor-
tant letters which he sends away, and has
every letter, invoice, &c. belonging to his
business, titled, classed, and put away.
Never suffers his desk to be confused by
many papers lying upon it; is always at
the head Of his business, well knowing
that if he leaves it, it will leave him /;
holds it as a maxim that he whose credit
is suspected is not safe TO be trusted and
is constantly examining his books, and
secs through all his affairs, as far as care
and attention enable him balances regu-
larly at stated times, and then makes out
and transmits all his accounts current TO
his customers and constituents at home
and abroad avoids, as much as possible,
all sorts of accommodation in money
matters and law suits, where there is the
least hazard is economical in his expen-
ditures, always living within his income
keeps memorandum book with a pencil
in his pocket, in which he notes every
little particular relative to appointments,
addresses, and petty cash matters; is eau
tious how he becomes security for any
person, and is generous only when urged

down at the bottom of the boat, and left
themselves to the mercy OF the wind and
waves. On awaking in the morning they
were horror struck at finding their COM
panion, Davis, dead. The little distress
sed mariners described this as the worst
of all. Fortunately the sea all this while
was tolerably calm, but the third day
passed over with still less hopes of deli
verance.
Wednesday night approached, but no
friendly hand was stretched out to save
the two youthful mariners, who with the
lileless corpse of their companion, con-
iinued TO float upon the bosom of the
waters during the fourth night. In the
afternoon of Thursday they dcecried a
sail in the distance, and with eyes filled
with tears they beheld ship bearing to-
ward them. She proved TO be Dutch
vessel bound for Amsterdam. The cap

board his own vessel; they were in a
dreadful state of suffering, having never
tasted food from Saturday afernoon.-
With fervency the poor little fellows be-
sought their deliverers TO lei them have
the dead body OF Davis TO take back with
them to Scarborough TO his friends, but
their entreaties were followed by a heavy
splash in the water, and the body of the
poor unfortunate fsherman's hoy was lost
from their sight.
The captain of the vessel and the whole
crew behaved with the greatest kindness
10 the boys, and upon the vessel reaching
her destination at Amsterdam, they for
rwarded their charge TO London, whence
the two adventurous youths set out for
Hull, and to the ineXpressible JOY of their
distressed and agonized parents, they ar
rived at Scarborough on Wednesday eve
ming last.

The Sailor BOYS.

The following affecting incident at sea, is co.
pied from an English paper,
On Sunday afternoon, the fourth in
slant, three little boys, of the names of
Davis, Carlisle and Fostil, the two for
mer fishermcn's sons, were amusing
themselves with an excursion on the sea
at Scarborough, in small boat about 3
feet long, having with them only one
oar and a small sail The little fellows
sculled themselves out to distance of a
few miles from land, when thinking they
perceived some other boys coming out in
boat to fetch them back again, they
hoisted their small sail, and the wind
blowing out from The shore, the boat was
unfortunately carried out further dis
lance to sea. To their ipcxpressibe
grief the land at length entirely disap-
peared, and after making several fruilless
attempts to regain the shore, darkness
put a stop to all further endeavors, and il
strong gale of wind forced them to a still
greater distance into the ocean. When
the morning returned not speck of land
could be discerned, and no sail hove in
sight; the situation Of the three boys
now became dreadfully distressing, not
one Of them knowing how to make land,
and not a single mouthful of provisions,
or draught Of water, being on board their
fral bark to add TO their distress the
oldest boy, Davis, fell sick, and continued
in thar state the whole day. The sun
again set, leaving them no prospect OF
rescue from watery grave. The feelings
Of their poor parents and friends on shore
all this time, were heart-rcnding, while
all entleavors 10 discover them proved
futile. Tuesday morning dawned, aud
after straining their eyes the whole Of The
day in search Of a sail or land, and weary
ing themselves with fruitcss toll, night
again came on, and the three poor litile
fellows, overcome with fatigue, hungry,
and bcnumbed with cold, laid themselves

NONOnV


On the death ofhe Pennsylvania Bunk cfthe u,
Not sound was heard save the Cashiers wa
As the last doubloon was counted,
Not a clerk discharged his taior's bill,
When he from his desk dismounted.
The Teller he told his tale woe
And the Payer refused to pay;
The Attorney turned his back to go,
And the runner he ran away.
And short were the oaths of the President,
As he fumbed amid the dross,
And filling his pouch, as he always meant,
He charged it to profit and loss.
Not single qualm disturbed his breast,
On account of the slight default;
lie swept the board of all that was left
And locked up the empty vault.
lie thought as he heapcd the shining pile,
And rolled up the greasy notes,
He had saved enough to last him awhile,
And purchase few more votes.
Yet little he rocked that his rotten suit,
Would end but few espousers,
And less he thought that his cloven foot,
Stuck out beneath his rowsers
It's said at night parting wall,
Rc-cchoes from wall to wall;
And a troubled ghost of aspect pale,
Dispor:s in the banking hall.
At times it will perch on the marble dome,
Or hide in the discount closet;
And oft and again in solemn tone,
Chaunt over the word "dcpositc.'
Dim is the light of the coruiccd room,
Where the DinECToRs often sat,
And naught enlivcns the midday gloom,
But the sport of the owls and bat.
The ample throne, with its tinscrly,
OF the fallen would-bc King,
Is the scene of the spiders tyranny,
And the home of the creeping thing.
Yet who can gaze on the hydra form,
When the quick'ning spark has fled,
And feel that the spirit of the storm,
Is slumbering with the dead.
The angry glare and dcfying scowl,
Lived to the latest breath,
And ayaricc sped in the parting howl,
OF the monster strong in death.

Jewish 'Ernt,ii;oil,

When Moses was still a child, Pharaoh
played with him. Moses took hod of
Pharaoh's beard and drew out the jewels
with which it was covered. Pharaoh
said to Jeihro, BALKAN, and Job, who
were yiziers at that time. IL am afraid
that the Jew boy will one day overiurn
my empire. What is to be done with
him ~ Balaam advised Pharaoh to kill
Moses Jethro said "No, but try whe-
ther he has understanding, by putting be-
fore him gold and fire if he take hold of
the gold, then kill him bu, If he touch
the fire, then ii is . proof that he will not
be clever. job was silent, bot Je!hro's
advice was followed. Moses wanted to
take hold of the gold. but The angel Of the
Lord turned his hand towards the fire,
which he put 10 his tongue OF which
account Moses had difficulty of speech.
Iom slow of speech and slow oftongue. "
Job, on account OF having followed the
system Of expectancy, was punished as
described in the book Of Job. Balaam
was killed. This story was current
among the Jews Of Mcshid. 80
