Messrs. vANDERvOORT, DICkEIlSON & CO.,
GENTLEMEN I'm answer to your letter III June lith,
enclosing letter to your house from Mr.. NJ IL Harden,
of Abingdon, dated June l4th would say that after |
left your store, called at the establishment OF MesSrs
Fairbanks Grecnlcaf about the 1lth OF june and
inquired OF them The lowest price they would sell me
four ton Scale, and mentioned at the same time that
had been looking the lOwe's Scales thought something
OF purchasing =. them Mr. Grccnlcaf then gave me
their prices and spoke OF Howes Scales being very
imperfect and poor Scale aud that there many Of
Ihem that would work and mentioned to me that a
Scale near by where lived badly out Of order and
would not work at all. This Scale he said was at Abng
don, Ill., and had been bought by Mr.. NJ b. Harden, and
was worth nothing for weighing aud had been abandoned
all of which tended Ia discourage from purchasing the
Howe's Scale and after mentioning this matter to your
Agent Mr. Hooker and he denied the same, and stated
10 me that Mr. Grecnleaf was not man OF veracty, as
he had detected him very recently In several asehoods
began To doubt his yeracity. since have seen the lot
ter from Mr. NJ r. Harden Of Abingdon dated June nth
am inclined to think all said b.. Grcenleaf for the
purpose Of dscouraging me- and that il was FALSE as
the enclosed letter Of Harden in contradiction to Green
leafs statement 70 and think this unfair course oi
competition ought be di-councnaueed, there is
nothing like fair play and truth IN trade. Hiping this
explanation Is satisfactory, - ..

General Jackson and the Turtle"

Among the many charges brought by the op-
ponents of General Jackson against him, to prove
that he was not fit for the presidency, was that he
was illiterate, and this was the honest belief of
great many everywhere.
During his Administration a vessel arrived at
Norfolk from the West Indies, and on its deck
were several sea-turtles. Among them was
giant of a reptile, which attracted the attention of
everybody who went aboard The captain had
them all taken on the wharf and exposed for sale.
Among those who admired the huge fellow above
mentioned were several leaders of the unterri-
fed" four or five of whom made up a purse,
bought the monster, and by the next Washington
boat sent itup as present to Old Hickory.
He was much gradded at such present, and
the inmates and the visitors at the White House
enjoyed rare treat in the way of =" turtle soup"
of the most magnificent description,
The General wrote very polite note acknowl
edging the receipt of the present, which was duly
received by DIR. A. who had sent it in the name
of himself and his other democratic friends.
Shortly after the receipt of the Generals an
swer, DIR. A. was hobbling along on Man-street,
and just when nearly in front of Mr.. B.. book
store he was hailed by five anti-Jacksonians as
follows
Well, Doctor, have you heard from the
General about your turtle ?"
Yes, answered DIR. A, " and have his reply
in my pocket"
Let's see it let's see it !" they all cried in
breath
Here it is" DIR. A. replied
He produced the note, and they read
Gentlemen thank you for the very fine tor
toise you so kindly sent me, &c. &C."
"There," said one of the gentlemen, "we had
always heard that your great man could not write
English, and now we know it. Who ever heard
of turtle being called tortoise.?"
"Wil you take a bet on it p said A.
THAT we will answered they, "and we will
decide the point by going into friend BIS"
So in they went, and both parties agreed to
abide by the definition of certain dictionary
then the standard of the language. One of them
turned over its leaves till he reached the word
turtle. The definition was @ bird of the dove
kind" and in the next line, this word is some
times used to designate the tortoise found on the
shores of the West Indies. 1t is corruption
used by sailors and illiterate people"
care you satisfied gentlemen ?' exclaimed DR..
A. ;" know you are not sailois-so, by your
own authority, you are illiterate. Be pleased to
pay your Lets, and never after this say that Gen
eral Jackson can't write English"
They did as requested, giving each an order
for six bottles of MADEIRA; and as they went out
of BIS bystander observed that there was in the
ear of each very large flea.

To FORM A VIGOROUS MIND.-Let every youth
early settle it in his mind that if he would ever be
any thing, he has got to make himself; or in other
words, to rise by personal application. Let him
always try his own strength, and try it efectually
before he is allowed to call upon others send him
back again and again to the resources Of Lis own
mind, and make him feel that there is nothing too
hard for industry and perseverance to accomplish.
In his early and timid flights, let him know that
stronger pinons are near and ready to sustain him,
but only in case of absolute necessity When, in
the rugged paths of science, if difficulties impede
his progress which he cannot surmount, let him be
helped over them but never let him think ofbeing
led, when he has power to walk without help nor
of carrying his ore to another's furnace, when he
can melt in his own.

The old Mountain Tree.

Oh, the home we love by the bounding deep,
Where the hills in glory stood
And the mossgrOwn graves where our fathers sleep,
Meath the boughs of the waving wood
We remember yet, with fond regret,
The rock and the howcry lea
Where we once used to play thro the long, long day
In the shade Of the old mount in tree.
We are pilgrims now in stranger land,
And the joys of youth are passed.
And friends are gone, but the old trees stand
Unframed by the warning blast
Oh, the lark may sing in the clouds of spring
And the swan on the Silver sea,
But we mourn for the shade where the wild bird mad
Her nest in the old mountain tree.
Oh, the time went by like tale that's told,
In the land of song and mirth,
And many form in the churchyard cold,
Finds rest from the cares of earth
And many day will wander away,
O'er the waves of the western sea,
And the heart will pine aud vainly pray
Fora grave by The old mountain tree.
