Formation Of Character, &c.-A
New Geography Of Texas.

We have been permitted by friend to make
the following extracts from letter, written by an
affcc,ionale uncle TO his neice, which contain
some valuable suggestions in reference to the
formation Of character and manners. We com.
mend them to our young friends, and especially
the female portion.
The latter part Of the extracts, giving some
" clippings" from the New Geography Of Tex
as" may be in part fancy sketch, but it will be
admitted by impartial observers that there is moi
less Of truth in them because heretofore unpub.
lishcd, il indeed there is not more than in many
Of the published Biographies. We recommend
this portion of the extracts 10 the perusal Of all
for their qualification, and il may be ediIying to
those of our friends who are preparing to emf.
CRATE to that happy country.
You are just now forming your dis
position, your habits, your manners,
your mind, and your character. In re-
gard to all these the young need adj
vice; and sometimes, unfortunately,
they find advisers too abundant. As a
general rule, those are the best advi.
sers who have the greatest interest in
your welfare. In your case those are
!; found at home. | would not alter but
only affirm what has doubtless been
taught you.
That is the best disposition which i:
! evidenced by contentment.
Thuse are the best habits which are
uniform and virtuous.
Those are the best manners which
are characterized by simplicity as op
posed to affectation; dignity as oppos
ed to pretention; ease as opposed t
/ formality; modesty as opposed to vul
garity; politeness as opposed to rude
ness; candor as opposed to bluntness.
j In regard to person and dress there
is no other essential than neatness.
The mind should be stored witt
whatever is useful and ornamental.
i Added to all this there must be pi

is it that you now, just at this time

Rev. III. G. Leigh.--The Raleigh Star
Of the lth inst, after copying from the Spirit Of
the Age the notice Of the severe attack Of Paraly-
sis under which the Rev. Mr.. Leigh Of the Me-
thodst Church had been suffering, adds the fol-
lowing:
eve are grati6ed to learn, since the above
was prepared for the press, that the Rev. Mr..
Leigh is rapidly improving. A letter written last
week by his own hand, to a gentleman in this
city, states that he was al the table when he was
attacked, in good health, and was IN the act Of
taking biscuit, when the left hand, stretched
out, was suddenly paralized. He instantly re-
marked, q something is the matter" which was
followed, quick as lightning, with the loss Of
speech. Happily. he has been restored to the use
ofhis limb and the power of speech, though the
hand is still deprived Of scnsibility."

Accident ON the n. Road.-some

Accident ON the r. Road.-somc
days since two hands belonging to Mvssrs. Tur-
ner & Jones, contractors Tor building the Rail
Road near this place, were seriously injured by
an explosion while making preparations for
blsst--one losing his Iefl eye. as is feared, and
the other the little finger Of his len hand. The
facts in this case are given asa warning TO other
operators. The charge had been put in, and the
fuse was lighted, but went out without making 4
blast. The hands then undertook to draw the
load, and supposed they had entirely removed the
powder. Water was put in the hole, and the
swabbing commenced; but finding the hole not
deep enough. they undertook to sink Il deeper
with an iron drill and c-hanmcr-one boy
holding the drill and the other striking. Two or
three blows only were struck when an explosion
took place. blowing the drill out Of the hole and
taking with il the little finger Of the boy who held
IL. The eye Of the other was injured by era
vel, which seems to have sunk into the ball.
This accident Is sincerely TO be regretted, ss
we learn that Messrs. Turner & Jones consider
ed these their most irusty hands. sstt

HoorLAND's GERMAN BirTERs.-We would
call the attention of our readers to the advertise
ment Of Dr.. Hoo1and's celebrated German Bit
tiers prepared by DIR. G. NJ. jackson, No. 100

Complaint, Dyspepsia, Disease Of the Kidneys,
and all diseases arising from disorded stomach,
their power is not excelled, if equalled, by any
other known preparation, as the cures attest, in
many cases, after the most celebrated physicians
had failed. We can conscientiously recommend
this medicine. as being what il is represented,
and urge our readers who are afflicted TO procure
a bottle and they will be convinced Of the truth
we assert. Circular.
