cord the following story:--"A A. .plainf farlners
Richard Jackson by Rame, was apprehen-

SUCH circumstances as proved beyond all
doubt, his purpose Of joining the, kings

honest to deny, accordingly he was deliver.

to the county jail. The prison was in
such a state that he might huve found little
difficulty in escaping; but he considefed
himself in the hands Of authority, such.
it was, und the same principle Of dnty which
lied him to take arms, made him equally
readyito endure the consequences. After
lying there few days, he applied to the
Sheriff for leave to go out and work by
day, promising that he would return regr-
larly ar night. His character for simple
integrity was so well known, that per-
mission was given without hesitation, and
for eight months Jackson went out every
day to labor, and as duly came back at
night. In the month OF May the Sheriff
to conduct him to Springfield
where he was to be tried for high treason.
Jackson said this would be needless trouble
and expense. His word was once moro
taken and he set off alone, to present him.
self for trial and certain condemnation
On the way he was overtaken in the woods
by! Mr.. Edwards, member OF the council
Of Massachusetts, which at that time, was
the supreme executive Of the State. This
gentleman asked him whittier he was go

casual interview jackson owed his escape,
when, having been found guilty and con-
demmed to death, application was mace to
the council for mercy. The~evidence and
sentence were stated, and the president put
the question whether pardon should be
granted. 1t was opposed by the first
speaker; the case, he said, was perfectly
clear; the act was unquestionably high
treason, and the proof complete; and II
mercy was shown in this case, he saw no
cause why it should not be granted in ey-
cry other. Few governments have under
stood how just and polite it is to be merck
full; this hardhearted opinion accorded with
the temper Of etimes, and was acquiesced
in by one member after another, till Il
came Mr.. Edwards turn to speak. In
stead Of delivering his opinion, he simply
related the story Of Jackson's singular de-
meunor, and what had passed between
them in the woods. For the honor OF
Massachusetts and of human nature, not

Of those dry legal remarks, which like q

justice prevailed, and a pardon was itnmedi-

Success.

s. The most important element OF success
lis economy ECONOMY of money and econ
omy of time. By economy we do not
mean penuriousness, but merely such
wholesome thrift Us will discipline us not to
spend our time Or money without, an ade,
quate return either in grain or enjoyment:
An ECONOMICAL application OF time brings
leisure and method, and enables US TO drive,
our business instead Of our business driving
us. !. There is nothing attended with re-
suits so disastrous, as such as miscalcula.
ton of our time and means as will involve
US in perpetual hurry and difficulty. The
brightest talents must be Intellectual under
such pressure, and life Of expedients
has no end but penury. Worldly success
however, though universally coveted, can
be only desirable in so far as it contributes
to happiness, and it will contribute to hap
piness very little unless there be cultivated
lively benevolence to every animated be.
ing. "Happiness," it has been finely OBJ.
served, sis in proportion to the number OF
beings that love us.'' To this sentiment
we subscribe, and we should like to see II
on the table of every heart, and producing
its fruit, charity. Themaf, whatever be
his fame, Or intelligence, who can
treat lightly another's woe--who ia
not bound to his fellow men by the mag
ic tie of sympdthy-deserves, ay, and will
obtain the contempt of human Kind. Upon
him all the gifts Of fortune are thrown a.
way. Happiness he has none. His lite
is dream, q nero lethargy without q
throb Of human emotion, ,ahd he will descend
to the grave ssunwept unhonored and un-
sung" Such fate is not to be envied,
and let those who are intent upon success
remember that success is nothing without
happiness. =, li.ds 1zss; $50.
