A TALE WITH MokAL.-Some unknow
poet in an exchange paper relates, in vel
touching verse, the opposite fates of tv
early friends.
One took paper, and his life,
Was happier than kings;
His children all could read and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and -..
While strolling through the wood,
Atree fell down upon his crown,
And killed him--as it should.
Had he been reading Of the news,
At home, like neighbor Jim

Would not have happened him.

sis HE RlcH?'-Many heavy sigh

a life is rendered miserable-by the ter
rible ,nfatuation which parents often
evince by choosing life companion for

happiness to result from two principles SO

And yet how often is wealth considered

than virtue! How often is it the first

daughter-'Is he rich?" Yes, he a.
bounds in wealth; but does that afford
anv evidence that he will make a kind

rich, bst can you infer from this that he
is also virtuous? Yes, he is in the pos-
session Of princely fortune, but do not
riches often take to themselves wings
and fly away?-And will you consent
that your daughter shall marry a man
who has no higher recommendation than
his wealth! Oh! ware-gilded bait

not. tnen-''ls he ich?"--but "Is he
virtuous?' Ask not if he has wealth,
but rather inquire ic he has honor, and
not sacrifice your daughters peace for

THE PATRIOTS REBUKE.


When Freedoms call went round
For each true hearted son,
Our patriot sires were found
With sword. and buckler on
Their banner waves
But soon the sun
Of Lexington
Shone on their graves.
On Bunkers hoary top
Another hand appears
With rampant breasts, to stop
Proud Britain's hostile spears
There Warren fell
And hundreds more,
With patriot gore,
Baptized that hill.
Amid the awful strife,
On Yorktown's southern plain,
Our heroes gave their life
Tar Freedom to obtain
They barred their breast
And, by their toll,
Their native soil
With Freedom blest.
Contending, side by side, -
With Joy we here can sec
The Northern patriot pride
The southern Chivalry--
All discord healed
The blood Of youth
From North and South
The Union sealed.
Now happy millions see
Upon Columbia's soil!
Blest with full Liberty,
Won by our fathers toll
No tyrants hsre-
No Priests by Law.
Our substance draw
No Lords to fear.
Each under his own vine
And fig tree sits at ease
No censor rules his mind
None dare disturb his peace
The glorious stars
And stripes that wave,
Our Union save
From civil wars.
Black comes the murky cloud
Tho tempest rises high
The thunders roar is loud
Along this happy sky
DlsuNloN, rides
Upon the storm
A harlots form
The tempest guides.
Curs'd be the Traitors hand
That's raised to strike the blow
To cut the sacred band
Our Union to Ger throw
Oh! palsied be
The traitors power
His happiest hour
Be agony. D.

MANUFACTURES IN TENNEssEE.-There are

They consume annually about lO,OO0baIe Of cotton.

weaving both cotton and wool. Jeans, osnaburgs

of the coarser kinds Of cotton and woollen negro
clothing. One half of these hands are blacks
slaves of course-i,nd they are said TO be expert in
almost every department. The goods manufactured
are disposed of at home and in the South Western
States. The Nashville Ortbopolitan, from which
we learn these facts, considers that The success OF
the factories in Tennessee disproves the opinion
held by many, that manufacturing establishments
cannot be carried on with advantage where slavery
prevails The manufacture of blankets is about
TO be introduced into Tennessee for the first time,
