The "SHEET ANCHOR" is the name OF a
neat little paper published by Jonathan
Howe, Boston. 1t advocates the Sailors
cause, and is very interesting and instruc-
tive sheet. The Temperance cause is most
ably supported and defended in its columns.
1t is calculated to do immense good, both as
ah advocate of Temperance, and as an an
chor of hope to the sailor-to point the
way to the haven of eternal rest and to
teach him to raise his thoughts to Him who
rides the whirlwind and directs the storm.

Where JOY and health are meeting;
Nor drown the soul in Bacchus' bowl,

Though it craze awhile with its madd'ning guile,

THE YOUNG MANS WAY TO HONOR
DISCOURAGEMENTS.


Many are deferred from faithful course
Of intellectual application, because they
have little hope of success. They have
long since conceded the point, that large
facilities and abundant opportunities of
wealth and leisure, are essential to a good
education. And because they have unfor-
tunately been born without these, and Prov
idence has to them dealt out bounties with
penurious hand, they give up to despair,
and foolishly yield to what seems to be
their fate. A little reflection will convince
the thoughtful that their discouragements
are premature and hasty. Time and other
facilities, it is true, are very desirable, but
far from being essential to either usefulness
or greatness The history of the past-our
principal guide in such matters, fully proves
this. 1t has often been said, and the asser-
ton is fully sustained by the evidence of lit
erary biography, that intellectual greatness
is most commonly found at first in obscurity
and poverty. In what are called by the
conventional habits of society, the higher
walks Of life, where opulence pampers SEN
suality and fatters vanity, it is almost i'm
possible to attain Intellectual eminence. And
for this reason, smooth sea never makes a
skilful sailor Poverty and obscurity being
dependent upon It's own resources, must
remain unhonored or rise by the might of its
energy. A quality is acquired in such cir
cumstances, which ever lies at the founda-
hon of true greatness, via sense of self
dependence.
| believe that the history Of the world
will prove, that to be engaged in active em
ployment is propitious and favorable to in
tellectual cultivation, rather than injuries.
And perhaps one principal reason for it is
the physical frame is kept in healthy state
by its activity, which is always favorable to
mental action, and intellectual strength.
And it is well known fact, that the mind
accustomed to meet and overcome difficult
ties, becomes more and more daring and in
trepd, and more willing to tax its powers
to the last point of endurance. There is
also pride in human nature, which delights
in excelling those who are accustomed to
deem themselves our superiors. Whatever
may be the reasons for it--certain it is, il
history speaks truth, that some OF the great
est men the world has known, have arisen
from every inconspicous situations. Epic
tetus the moralst, was born slave, yet be-
came the pride of stocal philosophers, and
the friend of the worthiest Roman Empe-
rors. Murray, who tho dead now, speaks
and instructs in our schools, was a shep-
herds boy. Franklin was once printers
apprentice, yet he became one Of the mos
distinguished philosophers and statesmen o
his age. Sir Humphrey Davy, though the
son of wood carver, became the first and
most daring chemist Of his time. Columbus
was sailor, and by his enterprise became
vast benefactor of the world. And oui
own Roger Sherman, whose craftsmanship
! was so well appreciated during the revolu-

KINDNESS BETTER THAN FORCE

Ii you want your horse or your servant to
work well, you must endeavor to make them
happy; happiness increases the strength and en-
ergies Of both, and unhappiness diminishes them
When you find either of them weak in any par
ticular point, do not press and harass the weak
ness, but show it indulgence. DO not urge either
of them to do more than they are well able, as
the more they compelled to do to-day the less
they will do to morrow. When you find your
horse begin 10 slacken his speed, do not reckless
y compel him to maintain it. but think how
you yourself would like to be thus urged ON
beyond your strength. Do not worry your horse
by repeated whip strokes, as every blow robs
the animal of some of its strength, and conrin-
ua blows rob it also of the motives to exertion
by the violence of the strokes on the skin. and
also affect the muscles underneath on which the
motions depend. II any person doubts this
slight blow on his arm or leg will soon convince
him OF the truth. II you have two horses work
ing together, and one horse is slower or weaker
than the other, do not force it to do as much as
the other, but rather slacken the speed if even it
is done by keeping the other horse back; and never
use bearing reins, they are useless to the driver,
vexatious to the horse, and are the cause Of many
falls; but above all, be not too fond Of showing
them that you are their master and they your
slaves; they know it well enough to their sor,
row without this trouble,

AMERICAN WOMEN.

M. de Tocqueville, speaking of American wo-
men says:
''As for myself, do not hesitate to avow,
that, although the women of the Uned States
are confined within the narrow circle of domestic
life, and their situations are, in some respects,
Of extleme dependence, | have no where seen
women occupying a loftier position and if
were asked, now am drawing to close Of this
work, in which have spoken Of so many things
done by the Americans, to what the singular
prosperity and growing strength of that people
ought to be attributed, should reply-to the s,t-
pc,iority Of their ,comer."
AN AFRICAN LAWGIVER.
King Freeman, a native African chief of great
power and influence, whose territory adjoins that
of the Maryland Colonization Society, near Cape
Palmas, has given code of Laws TO his people
He is represented TO be sagacous and intelligent,
and after studying the laws and religion of his
neighbors from America, he drew up a constitu-
ton by which his people are now governed.
King Freeman has the honor of establishing
constitutional government in advance of several
European monarchies.-permont Chronicle.

Criminal Court. United States vs.. Thomas
and Samuel Hays, brothers, residents Of Prince
Georges County, were indicted for an assault
and battery on Mr.. Albert Berry, of the same
county, in July last, near the Eastern Branch
Bridge. This was an aggravated assault, and
both prisoners were found guilty. The jury
did not remain in their room more than thirty
minutes The main charge is that one of the
prisoners threw a stone, or half brick, at Mr..
Berry while re- urning home in his buggy,
without provocation. The stone struck Mr..
Berry on the head and inflicted severe wound,
insomuch as to endanger his life. The prison.
ers were sentenced to pay a fire of IS each
and be mpri> oned in the Jail of this county for
the term of Two weeks. These gentlemen may
congratulate themselves very highly on this
extremely lenient punishment, which was no
doubt in consequence of the fact, that Judge
Crawford has not been on our Criminal Bench
sufficiently long to be familiar with the crime
hardened characters of many of those who be-
come amenahle to our criminal laws
The Court made a decision during the pro-
cress of this trial that might be interesting to
rowdles, rioters and all Others that combine"
or are a part of band or company associated
together" with criminal intent, viz: That any
one Of the party, concerned IN such combina-
ton or company, is liable for all the offences
which may be committed by any one or more of
them.
James w. Garner was indicted for assault
ing George A. Davis and found guilty. He
was defended by Mr.. j. E. Norris, who made a
motion for new trial
