The stand which Mr.. Dickens occu-
pies among the literat, is sufficient re-
communication and proof of its merits
We have only had time to glance at
few pages, and find it highly interesting.

exquisite gusto; yet they will no doubt
be highly pleased, as well as amused
s@ithit.

The treaty stipulations entered into
between Lord Ashburton in the behalf of
her Britanic Majesty's government and
Mr.. Webster in behalf eff the govern
ment of tie United States, have been ra-
tilted by the former, and have beed re-
ceived by the latter. We intend to
publish the most important features, or
perhaps the whole treaty, if it is-not too
long.
.FIRE!-Many Of the cities aud villa
ges in our country have recently been
visited with destructive fires; and we
would take this opportunity of caution
ing our citizen against permitting their
stove pipes, fues o: chimneys, to become
Foul.
ITS all III my eyer--It's not in rig
pocket that's certain; and probably in
no ones; who knows We had look
ed TO our last court, as time of re-
ioicng.; bat i: was total future land
we got as mad as-the dpviL-ow devil
when he asked for cent to buy g'nge,-
bread, and we had none to. give The
fact is, we have come to the conclusion.
(and how could we avoid thus conc!ud-
ing. after making the most thrilling APP
peaIs to their mananimlty and native
sense of Justice bat all to no purpose p
that they haun't got the article. Well.
it is faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that "a man should not re-
qure of another more than he has ability
to perform
-o2s-
i There is one debt-the debt Of nature
which cannot be repudated. We
should therefore be always ready to pay
it.
Excellent sentiment, and true as ex-
ceilent. But how is it possible that a
man should be prepared to pay the : debt
of nature who has not paid that most
binding and hard-earned of all other
debts. the debt he owes the printer? All,
dear friends. think upon this important
subject! Your. present happiness and tu-
ture felicity may be poised upon this one
! point!
