BOYS.

The Olive Branch gives the following
excellent exposition of that queer and
inexplicable creai.on-a Boy:
A boy is the spirit OF mischief embod-
he'd perfect tceio;um, spinning round
like a ienny or tunbllng heels over
head. lie must invariably go through
the process OF lcaping over every chair
in his reach, makes drumheads Of the
doors, turns the tin pans Into cymba's,
takes the best knives out TO dig worms
,or bait and loses them, hunts up the
molass.s cask and leaves the molasses
RAINING, is boo n companion to the SUI
gar barrel. searches up all the pie and
preserves left after supper and eats
them, goes to the apples every ten min
utes, hides his old cap in order 10 wear
Lis best one, cuts his boots accidentally
IL he wants new pair, tears his clothes
tnr iun, jumps into the puddles for fun,
and Tor ditto tacks your carpets and
cuts your furniture. He is romping,
shouting, clustering, and in all but his
best estate terrible torment, especially
TO his sisters. He don't pretend to much
until he is twelve, then tie rage for
irock coat and high dickies CONN ences.
AT fourteen he ID 100 big TO split wood
or 60 after water, and at the time these
interesting Offices ought to be perform
ed. contrives 10 be invisible, whether
concealed in The garret with some old
worm-eaten novel for companion, ell.
sconced in the woodshcd trying to learn
lcgerdemain tricks, or bound of on
some expedition that turns out to be in
most cases more deplor, bic than explc-
rsb!c, TO coin word; at fifteen he has
tolcrable experience OF the world-but
from fifteen 10 twenty may we be clear
from the track when he 10 in sight; he
knows more than Washington and Ben
Jamn Franklin together; in other
words, he knows more than he will ever
know again.
Just halI one of these young speci.
mems "boy,' ~ sixteen and hos wrathy
he gets! II he does not answer you
prec.ey as the little urchin did who an
grily exclaimed, don't call me boy, I've
smoked these two years" he will give
you whitening look that is meant to
annlhilatc you, turn on his heel and
with n curl OF the lip muttcr disdainfuI-
ly, "wao Do You call boy r. and o! lie
emphasis.
But, jest!ng a;idc-an honest, blunt.
merry mischlevous boy is something to
he proud OF, whether as brother or son
for in all Lis scrapes his good heart
gcts the better Of him, and lead. him
soon to repentance, and be sure he will
remember his fault at least five mir
utes.

has its orgln after all in the following
circumstance mentioned by the Savan-

Ii 10 true, according TO information
which we have procured, that several
young men from The Cherokee country,
having heard that there WAS an out

services 10 Gen. Gonzales. The report
being premature, hnwever, these gen

Gonzales, and returned up the road yes

the Importance Of causing this Light

NJ her destined post, as early AZ posi-
bic during the Ginning summer; and we
cordially make known their wishes in so
Important an enterprise. and one which
interests TO "A considerable extent all
classes of society. When, as in this
case, no doubt can reasonably exist, as
t. the feasibility of the project, aud
with the season rapidly advancing when
ship building can bc the most advan-

no long delay in the matter OF spccf-

in fact IN every case, when appropria-
tions are made by Congress for Light
House!, Light Ships, &c, we believe
the Secretary of the Treasury Is en-
powered or authorised TO cause such
examnations to be made as may be
thought necessary, previous to locating
such beacon or ship for the safety Of
commerce. In the present case, from
what we can learn from those fully con-
versant with the subject, We believe
that the Secretary would be- justified in
Immediately causing TO he built Light
Ship for Brenton's Reef without any
resort TO preliminary surveys, other than
such as might be necessary to fix upon
the precise point Of location with refer
enre to the reef. But these are ques-
tlons best known to the proper aulhori-
ties, and in alluding to the subject, we
do SO at the solicitations of our CONNER
cial friends whose knowledge of the
coast, and its consequent wants or means
Of protection, is better than our own.
We hope they may soon be gratifed
TO learn that movements are under way
