From the Southern Patriot.
Be Strong in Truth.

Be strong in truth! No cause can fail
While Truthoits cornerstone;
No hope can die-no bosom quail,
While Truth has there its home.
The tyrant's steel may pierce the heart,
And break each human tie,
But truth will live to &c, its part, s, /.
When time itself shall die.
The CORY hand may shake its spear,
And sound its dread alarm;
But none who stand for Truth need fear
Such futile power 10 harm. gr. g.
Then strike once more, nor dread the blow
That pamper'd millions WELD,
But brave for truth each pungent throe
On life's broad battlefield. 81. !.
A brighter day will dawn, and soon
It's sun 10 zenith rise, i..
When high above the earth will loom
Q Truth liues and nerer dies! S. G.

LOVE AND HEROISM.
ROMANCE IN REAL LIPE.

It is not often an event such as the
one we are going to relate, happens in
the country. We publish it at the ur-
gent request of friend, suppressing
the namos Of tho parties.
A few days ago, there was great ex-
citement in the streets of Yazoo City,
on the report that woman had just ar
rived in town on horseback, dressed in
male attire. How it was found out that
the person who attracted a great crowd
around her was a woman we do not
know. Either her long hair which es.
capped from beneath her fur cap, or her
awkward walk did it, but she was be-
trayed. She inquired for one Of our
most respectable citizens, and he enter.
ing into conversation with her, told her
that she was found out, and if she would
state to him the motive which had in
duced her to assume the disguise she
wore, he would assist in her enterprise
if it was commendable one. a.,
She acknowledged herself to Mr..
-, telling him her history, which
is singularly interesting one. ssa
[ She is Young, beautiful aud accom-.
plished. Her father lives in a not dis
tapt county, where she was married a
year or two ago, much against his will,
and also in opposition to that Of her
brothers.

plBLE ANECDOTE.

Illad a striking example of the pow
er of the Bible on the mind of an un-
believer, who was determined oppo-
ser of the truth.
At the house of nobleman, where
large party had assembled, l conver-
sed with q captain of the navy, and a
surgeon; the conversation was extreme.
ly painful to me, as they argued and
cavilled angrily. l answered them
from the bible which l held inmy hand.
Our host having listened to US for some
time, said, alt appears to me nocessa-
ry, before answering these gentlemen
from the Bible that you should declare
to them what it really is, because l am
aware that your antagonists are not con.
vinced of the divinity Of this book
|'aWhat! my Lord" replied !, "if |
were to draw the captains sword, and
wound him herewith, would it be requi.
site to make him sensible that he was
wounded, that this gentleman (the sur
geon) should testify; 1st. That the
sword is of good steel; Cd. That the
blade has a keen edgei Sd. That the
muscles and veins being cut, this gen.
tleman is obliged to feel : Is not the
proof of a sword being sword demon.
stratod by its point and edge? And
think you that the everlasting God, who
has spoken this word, which he declares
to be sharper than any two edged sword i,
has not given to it a sufficient efficacy
to strike and penetrate the conscience
of one of his creatures, man, SIN
nerl No, gentlemen" continued l
firmly, several of the rest of the COM
pany were now around US. and listen
ing with apparent interest)-"no, do
not believe that the truths contained in
this holy volume require, that to be rec.
ognized as such, man must affix the seal
of his appreciation, or that the true and
living light cannot enlighten the under
standing of mortal until the fatid and
vacilating flame Of the lamp of reason
is united thereto" ..,
Upon this the captain withdrew to the
recess of tho window; whilst l answer
ed several questions concerning faith
and its consequent peace. The captain
appeared agitated and after some min.
utes had elapsed, he returned and said
10 mo with visible emotion:
"Pray tell me, if the hrbitual JOY
and security which you now possess are
results of the principles which you
hold 7" .t3s!l.cl ].
"Sir," replied i, aaectionately,
"whenever l expose myself TO the rays
of the sun, l receive not only light, but
heat lherefrom. In like manner, when.
ever l read or mediate on the word Of
truth and life. | experience The same ef.
feet on my soul, because it is impossible
to contemplate by faith, Jesus the Son
Of the Father, and the brightness of his
glory. without having deep sense loi
the vivirying light which emanates from
and beams in Him."

CREDIT AND CHARAcTER.-Thcre is no
lesson more important for the young, than
that which incucates promptness and pune
iuaiiy not only in al monetary dealings,
but in every transaction of life. Neverlhe-
less, ii is common error with many TO dis
regard both qualities, and thus to impair
confidence, destroy credit, and weaken char
acter. Only let it once be understood that
an individual is reliable and may be depend
ed upon, and the character OF that man will
be established upon rock of adamant.-
This is one great secret, not only of sue
cess in trade, but Of confidence, esteem, and
respect among friends and neighbors. 1t
form, the soul and source of an enlarged
credit. Reliability is indeed rct only great
virtue, but it is absolutely essential in our
dealings with one another, and in every
phase and condition of life. Never make
promise that You do not intend to perform,
and be especially careful to avoid entering
into an engagement that you know it will
be almost impossible to fulfil. The con.
sequence of such an error must be 10 i'm
pair confidence, induce caution, and excite

A CRY WITHOUT A CHARTER.-Somco Of
Newport as being without charter, because
the amended charter was rejected by the
people. The fact Is, we presume, that the
old charter is still in force The Represen.
tatives of Newport in the General Assem-
bly, undertook to make some improvements
in the instrument, but do not seem to have
understood the wishes of their constituents
very WELL They will, doubtless, make
anoth attempt, as laws in this State are
we'll known to require incessant tinkering,
and it il to be hoped they will have better
luck next time.-I'rop. Post.
The new CLater for this City was re-
jectcd by an overwhelming majority, and we
q therefore under the original Charer-
1t was not our delegation in the Assembly
who undertook to make amendments, as
the Post supposss; the amendments were
made by The City Council, or, rather, made
outside of it, md they were agreed TO by
the Council, probably without much delib-
eration,-and they were sent to the As
sembly, and our Representatives voted for
them. The defeat of the new Charter will
probably learn some people lesson, unless
they are blinded by their vanity, impudence
and ignorance, to such an extent even that
they cannot comprehend and feel a very
powerful kick,-for this result is consider
ably more than hint.
