ly over his marble cheek, in the soft breeze
The buff lining of his uniform was deeply
strcaked with his life blood, which had gather
cd in a clotted pool upon the matrass. Inc
sight was indeed one to awaken emotion III the
sternest breast.
'Who, among you will answer to God, and
this boys mother for the bloody, deed ? SAID
Mrs. Murray, raising her eyes calmly to the
group Of officers.
TO horse, gentlemen! Madam, such are
the fortunes of war. Thanks for your courte'
sv. FAREWELL This was the only response
of Sir William Howe. What more could he
say! In few moments the blast OF the
trumpet and the drums and fifes told that the
troops were on the march to triumph and VIC
to-y-for season. Thank God, it was only
for short season.
The main facts of this sketch arc true. Mrs
Murray, the Patriotic Quakeress, by detainine
Sir william Howe, saved a large body OF
American troops-near upon three ethousahd--
under the command of Putnam, who would
have been penned up in the city with his men
if the British army had crossed the Island
sooner. Might not the loss of three thousand
troops to Washington, at that time, have been
sufficient to change our whole destinies, IS re-
CARDS Republic? 1t is grave thought. AT
any rate, all honor to Mrs Murray, the Qua
ker lady of olden times.

five 90 back, in imagination, few years
We behold the millions of human being who are
now on the stage of action just entering exls
,cnce--so ignorant, so specchlcss, so helpless,
that we might almost persuade ourselves that
a mistake had been made and they had been
ushered into the wrong world. So similar in
body, in mind and in moral condition, that the
difference could scarcely be dscerned. But
where are they now? Some are expiating their
crimes in cells and dungeons; others are moral
luminaries shedding light and truth from horl
zon to horizon; some are beating and bruisng
themselves against the bar of maniac's cage;
others, with an intellect as keen as that OF an
gels, are tracing the laws of the solar system;
some arc enyeloped in ignorance and superstI-
ton; others are solving the mightiest problems
that science presents; some are grovelng IN the
most servile conditions; others are holding high
converse in the nations hall where the dest.
nies of millions are arbitrated. But whence
this mighty change! Whence this wonderful
transformation in these ignorant, speechless,
helpless beings! Whence this contrast in the
condition of those once so similar, once SO
nearly equal? The change, the transforma-
ton, the contrast has been produced by the
agency of laws, as certain in their operation
and as infalible in their results, as the laws
that govern the relation of cause and effect i'll
chemistry, in agriculture, in the mechanic arts
or in any of the departments of life. These
arc truths that can neither be controverted nor
denied. Is it not Of some consequence, then,
that the Legislature, the parent, the teacher,
snonId understand the laws and conditions IN
obedience to which these good or these bad
results are to be produced!

The Augusta Constitutionalist learns that
the mail train Of Thursday, ON the Georgia
Rail Road was detained several hours. The
cause was, the burning Of 200 yards of ths
track two miles this side Of Stone Mountain.
This delayed the train several hours, by which
time the damage was repaired. The fire was
communicated from the adjoining woods. The
wind was high during the day, and the fencts
on several plantations at different points on the
road were burned.

JOHN BULL BEAT AT HIS owN TRfcKs BY
BROTHER JoNATHAN-The New-York Times
states that it has been habit for year or two,
with several of the large English publishing
houses, to print costly editions of their works
for the English market, and at the same time an
edition specially designed for the American mar
ket-ptnting them in an inferior style, upon
cheaper paper, and selling them at reduced
price. The name of an American publisher is
generally inserted on the title page; bnt the
books are printed in England. This is done to-
forestall the American reprint. Recently, a.
New-York publisher made large collection Of
these English printed books; re shipped them
to London, where he offered them at such prices
as to very largely underseu the expensive Eng:
lish editions, upon which the publishers had caE
culated to make large profits; and these gentle
men are thus made the losers BY their own ia-
genuity. 1t is said good deal Of excitement
exists among the London publishers in eoase.
quence of this return upon their own heads of
their own inventions.

PRESERVATION OF THE MENTAL PowERs.- :.
Fatuitv from old age cannot be cured; but it
may be preyented by employing the mind p con- con
stantly in reading and conversation in the eve
nino Of life. DR.. Johnson ascribes the fatuity
Of Dean Swift to two causes first to reso-
luton made in his youth that he would never
wear spcctacles, from the want OF Tach S!i ne ne
was unable to read in the decline OF lie anu
second, to his avarice, which led alm TO ao-
scOuI from visitors or deny himself to compa.
nv bv which means he deprived himself OF
tIe only two methods by which new ideas are
acouired, or old ones renovated, His mind
ianr"ished from want of exercise, and gradual
iy W Collapsed into idotism, in which state he
spent 81 the close of his life, in hospital founded
by himself for persons afflicted with the same
disorder, d. of which he finally died.

to 60 abroad, from age or weakness, are very
apt to become fatultous; especially, as they
are too often deserted in their old age by the
younger branches of the families; i'll conse.
q,tence of which their minds become torpid,
from the want of society and conversation
Faulty is more rare in cities than in country
places, only because society and conversation
can be had in them on more easy terms, and is
less. common among women than men, only
because ether mpoyments are of such nature
as to admit of their being carried on by their
freside and ina sede dentary posture.
The illustrious Dr.. Franklin exhibited str-
king instance Of the influence of reading, wri-
ting and conversation, in prolonging a sound
and active state ofal the faculties ofthe mind.
In his eighty fourth year he discovered no one
mark in them of the. weakness Of decay usually
observed in the minds Of persons at that ad-
vanccd period of life.-Dr. Rash.

THE Folly Of PR1DE.-After all, take some
quiet, sober moment of life, and add together
the two ideas of pride and man; behold him
creature ola span high stalking through infinite
SPACE in all the egrandeur oflittleness. Perched
on y speck of the Universe, every wind Of hea-
ven strikes into his blood the coldness ofdeatb;
his soul floats from his body like melody from
the string; dayand night, as dust on the wheel
he is rolled along the heavens thro' labyrinth
of worlds, and the creations of God are flaming
above and beneath. Is this creature to make
himself crown ofglory to deny his own flesh!
to mock at his fellow, sprung from that dustto
which both will soon return! Does he not
suaer? Does he not die? When he reasons,
is he never stopped by difficulties When he
acts, is he never tempted by pleasure When
he lives, is he free from pain When ne dies
can he escape the common grave! Pride is
not the heritage of man; humanity should dwell
with frality, and stone for ignorance, error and
perfectiou.-Syaney tSmith.

A DELIGHTED MoTHER.-A mother, who
was in the habit of>asking her children, before
they retired at night, what they had done to
make others happy, found her young twin
daughters silent. One spoke modestly ofdeeds
and dispositions founded on the golden rule,
ado unto Others as yewould that they should
do unto YOU" Still these little bright faces were
bowed in silence. The question was repeat,
ed. - sg.-
II can remember nothing good all this day
dear mother; one ofmy schoolmates was hap
py, because she had gained the head ofthe class
and smiled on her, and ran to kiss her; so
she said were good. This is>all dear mo.
ther" -
The other spoke still more timidly: ga little
girl, who sa, with me on the bench at school,
hasl little brother. saw that while she stu
died her lesson, she hid her face in her book
and wept. l felt sorry, and hid my face on
the same book and wept with her. Then she
looked up and was comforted, and put her arms
around my neck !; but do not know why she
said had done her good"
sCome to my arms, my darlings r said the
mother, "to rejoice with those that DO rejoice
and weep with those that do weep, is to obey
our blessed Redeemer.".
