BY PROF. j. II. INGRAM.
(Concluded.)

PART II.
Several days elapsed, and Col. McFlenry had
quite forgotten the circumstances just narrated,
when as he was passing down Arch street, he felt
his sleeve suddenly pulled by some one whom he
had heard running behind him, and looking round
he beheld, with cheek glowing with the pur-
suit. the young girl he had seen at the gold
smiths.
Oh sir, | am so happy to have found YOU"
she said, at once addressing him, as he stopped
and with pleasure listened to her, al was at
length enabled to get my pay, and by other work

Gus earnestness. I" should be distressed to be

you please''

" Yes, sir; hoping you would take it and keep

On their arrival Mr.. Broochard denied ever
having seen it since she went out, and that he
saw her place it in her bosom as she left the shop

SOUND ADVICE.

We copy the following extract from an ex-
change paper The advice contained therein is
wholesome although would not restrict the
farmer and countryman 10 The paper published in
his county. We would have him take paper,
and his good sense would then discriminate as to
the best for his interest We have been surprised
at the very few papers that taken in this sec
ton of country, and the entire apathy that is ex-
hibited on the subject, of acquiring know ledge,
while we do not know community who are more
eager 10 obtain the 4" ne,cS." The :" old Do.
mnion" is as cheap and valuable paper as can
be found, and that we recommend to the country
generally.
No farmer or business man should relinquish the
newspaper published in his own county, for the
sake OF taking some other or larger, cheaper. or
more popular paper, published in any of the cities
The newspaper published in ones own county, is
always, as general rule, more Ualudbie than any
other IT 1t be for nothing but the advertisements
aye. the advertisements, the very key which
opens the door TO excellent bargains II is of no
/ little consequence for the farmer to know what is
going on IN his cOunty-own, and throughout his
county, which he can know in no other way eX-
cept through the columns of newspaper publish
ed thereln-the settlement of estates-the sale of
| farms, stock-the maTkes,-proceedin in Court
and hundred other matters, all Of which interest
him We venture to say, there is not man
who may not every year save much more than
! the price OF subscription to his county newspaper
from its advertising columns alone and on this
ground exhOrt all to patronize their own newspa-
pers. This should be done also for weightier
reasons one Of which we will name the mann
moth weekly sheets Of the cities being furnished
at price which no country printer can compete,
/ (lor one reason, because made up generally from
matter once used and Paid for in the daily pa
pers) are encroaching largely upon the country
papers, thus discOuraging improvement and enter
prise, and gradually bringing the whole country
under the influence and in some sense the control
Of the leading cliques in the cities. Thus a tone
/ Is gwen to the morals, the politics, and the habits
/ OF the cOuntry-and we hesitate not TO say, that
| the preponderance Of this influence is bad The
people Of the country get full enough of this in
fluence through their own papers and if they
would not see the complete supremacy Of the
cities over the moral and political destiny Of the
country, Jet them support the country newspa-
Pers. Take the city papers if you can afford it,
and as many Of them you please but first see
to it that you have your own home papers as
regular yisiter to your freside Support them
first and literally, and they will hardly fail to sup
port your interest.

INFORMATION FROM MEXICO

A private letter was received in this city, saws
the Washington Union ofthe 18th instant by the
last southern mail from Texas, west ofthe Nneces.
dated July 10th, and stating that the Mexicans
really were concentrating provisions and munitions
OF war at MaJamoras as fast as possible, and also
troops at Monterey. The writers of this letter
are engaged in the Mexican trade, and communi
cate at least weekly with Matamoras They
are not likely to be deceived in this matter, for
their facilities for obtaining correct information
are known to be equally good, if not better, than
any other person in Texas; and their experience
with the frontier Mexicans is such, that they can
hardly be deceived.

But if this be true of Monarchical and Aris-
tocratlc governments, how much more certainly
and iear!ully is it the case, with those nations in
which the government is but an emanation of the
will of the people. Here, when we find corrup-

obtaining power or profit on the part of the gov

being so, what is the obvious lesson taught us in

more regarded than they have been, that we
should watch, with eagle eye, both ourselves and
others, and while condemn either in ourselves
or others, in friends or foes, want of moral rec

and the suppression of vice, the approval of the
