MISSOURI REPORTER
THE undersigned. under the firm of PENN
4 VAN ANTWERP. proposes to pubIisha
newspaper IN 81. Louis. 1t will be their aim
to give early intelligence of passing events,
and frequent satisfactory notices Of the prin-
cIpal markets of the country. with an accu-
rate Price Current Of this city. The paper
will be uhltaridn-,he champion of all con-
stltu'lonal measures designed TO lessen the
dangers Of navigation, and protect and cher
lsh the vast inland commerce of which ST.
Louis must be regarded rs the centre.
A portion OF the Columns Of the Reporter
will DE devoted Ia Literature and Poetry,
for The qualification of those who consider
variety the spice Of life; and another portion
to agricultural interests. and improvements
calculated to develope he varied and une-
qnalIed resources of Missouri. Illinois, &c.
and The superior advantages Of ST. Louis
a city destined in a very few years to eclipse
all her sisters of The west.
The politics Of the Reporter will be deci-
dedly DemocraIIc-hut whilst IL viii! firmly
and iearlessly maintain the just and genial
principles OF the great party of which it IS
10 be an humble organ. It's course will ever

verts; vlrulence only serves to weaken n
good cause. 1t is therefore our fixed deter.

1t may be possible to do so, and uniformly TO

the Atlantic Ocean.
Wandering by chance many days in these
hot regions, the slave travelled with the un-
easiness and cautiousness of a man who, in
the midst Of savannahs Astounding in poison
Gus reptiles, believes he might set his foot,
when least expected, on the scaly body of a
serpent. He examined with much care eve
~ tree; each thicket of brambles appeared
to him so many shelters for wild beasts, where
enemies, the color of The foliage, lay in am
bush.
Suddenly he paused; he cast himself to the
ground, and pressed the earth even to the
joints Of his limbs. Without emotion, rely
ing on the Indian fig tree as the only defence.
he awaited the result of what he saw. With.
out the convulsive trembling which agitated
his body, any one would have believed that
he was dead.
He had just seen the most terrible of all
the serpents, whose race is found in those
regions. 1t was not certainly a monstrous
animal-one of those colossal reptiles, which
when sleeping on the banks of a river, OF in
the dense woods, presents to the traveller
the aspect of a trunk of a tree, thrown to
the ground bv a tempest.
Neither did it possess the gigantic proper
tons which the European people so much
admire when they contemplate the skins stuff:
ed with straw ofsome Of the kings of Ohio.
1t was the Yellow Serpent.
Whoever has seen its littleness, and ex-
amined its thin body, could not believe that
so weak a reptile could kill a partridge, al

leaves with singular
wings, and returned to the field Of battle. he
rested a short time on the dead body Of the
cleaning his bloody beak on his
and causing the air to resound with
a shout Of JOY, directed his flight toward
the South.
1t was 4 beautiful morning in autumn; the
people hurried with much confusion to the
public square. This was arranged in the
same manner that we see ours TO day at the
bull baitings; the multitude occupied all the
steps and seats, and a military band executed
popular music before what might be called
the steps Of the Governor.
The Governor did not cause them to wait
long. A profound silence reigned. A man
approached a line, the centre of the square.
pushing with his hands a cask, which he roll
ed to the same place. The man also carried
on his left shoulder a portmanteau. He was
the mulatto slave Of the Orinico. He salu-
ted the people, opened the sack, and took out
a Culabar.
1t was an innocent reptile, a friend of the
birds, and frequently met with in the walks
and yards. The people began TO hiss, and
it was only after much trouble that order
was re-established. The slave threw away
the Colubar with disdain, and made a gesture
that he would explain the circumstance.
"This is an intrusive reptile, and was here
without my knowledge"
He turned to open his portmanteau, and.
drew out a black serpent, whose bite occa-
stoned cruel pains, without causing DEATH
The public expected something more: they

Among one foolish P~reino'ces which dis
credit the judgment Of mankind, the pref u
dice against old maids is one Of the most
foolish. The very fact that lady is an old
maid, is. or ought to be, creditabie. 1t is an
evidence that she possesses prudence, fore
sight and a refined tas,e-almirablc qualities
in woman! 1t is better to be overly pru-
dent, particularly cautious, than Not pru-
dent and cautious enough. The old maid
its perfec,ion;-she has had offers of mar
riage, no doubt; what lady of thirty and
upwards has not' She has rejected several
%suitors, most likely, and doubtless she had
her reasons for so doing. 1t had been well
for many a welded woman, had she prac-
ticed the same caution. Much better is it to
be n happy old made than Il miserable wife.
So thought the old maid, and thought cor
rectIy, when she rejected Messrs. so-and-so.
Perhaps she has lived to see one Of her for
mer lovers hangel, another in the %peniten-
tiary, and a third in the almshouse. Per-
haps one whom she was censured for refus,
ing, has since proved a drunkard and a va,
grant, or, having succeeded in getting a wife,
has made her eminently wretched. All this
mischief the old maid may have foreseen,
and by her prudence escaped it.
Old maids are often, very often, women Of
superior minds; and snch are most likely to be
old maids, for more than one reason. In the
first place. they have the discretion TO lie slow
in selecting their partners for life; and as
three fourths Of mankind have not the quail.

The same Difference for rank,
ions of exclusiveness. the same
%e(htility and aristocracy, disgrace
too often the present generation as much as
they were to be pitied in our ancestors Of
the colonial times. Education and talent
are nothing; wealth or fashion is every thing.
A poor man NAV be as learned rs Newton,
as philanthrophic as Howard. as courteous
and refined as Bayard, and yet he is rulgar,
but if he is as great a fool as Ti,mouse and
rides in a gilded coach he Is the very pink Of
genriliry.
This ridiculous afTectation of a superiority
unknown to our laws and in violation Of
common sense itself. is strikingly percepti.
bic in the desire of parents to make their
sons lawyers or physicians. The veriest
Ounce can thus. it is supposed. be white
washed into n gentleman. Because the En-
glish aristocracy for a matter of some seven
centuries has reserved the law for its voun-
ger sons, and because no man could be ad-
mitted student at Lincoln's Inn unless he
quartered the arms of 4 gentleman. it has
come to be the fashion forsoo,h in our repub-
lIcan country to give young men a three
years probation in n lawyers office. Honest
trades are deserted because they are%0 use
the cant phrase -rulgor; and every Young
