Now 1 .first learned that my mother s
death was a heavy affliction; fori hsard my
father tell a melancholy story ol her long
Unesa, her death, and what he had suffer
d for her loss My uncle said, what a sad

father replied, his little Betsy was all his
comfort to my father, struck me with
grief How I could be any comfort to my
father, struck me with wonder I knew I
mas pleased when he played and talked
with me; but I thought that was all good
n*-»s ft favor done me, Ik 1 had no notion
how I could make my part jof his happi
ness The sorrow f now heard lie had suf
fered, was as new and strange to me I
had no idea that he had ever been unban
py- his voice was always kind aid cheer
ful; 1 hal never before sent him weep, or
shew any such signs of grief as those in
which I used to express mv little troubh s
My thoughts on these subjects were con
fused and childish; but from that time I
never ceased pondering on the ta:l stoiy
of my dead mamma
The next day I went by mere habit to
the study door, to call papa- to the b loved
grave; my mind misgave mt, and I could
not tap a* the door I went hack wards ar.d
foruads between the kitchen and the stu
dy', and what to do with myself f did not
know My uncte met me in theHpas-age, &.
said, • Betsy, will you ct me and walk with
me in the garden?” This I refused, for
ihis was not what I wanted, hut the olda
mnsi-ment of silling onlU»e grae,Bt tulki.ig
to jia. a My uncle tried to persuade me,
hut still I said, ’* Nv>, no,” and ran crying
into the kitchen As he followed me in
there, Susan said, “This child is so fret
ful to-day, I do not know what to do with
her ” “ Aye,” said my tincjc, “I sup
pose my poor brother spoils her, ha.-ng
but one-” This refl -clton on my papa
ina le me quit in rr little passion of anger,
for I had un* forgot that v ith -his new un
cle, sorrow had first come into our dwell
ing. I screamed loudly, till my father cane
out to know what it was all about. He
s-utt my uncle into the parlour, and said, he
would manage the little wrangler by him
self When my uncle was gone I ceased
crying; my father forgot to lecture me
for nty ill humour, or lo enquire into th.
cause, o-us were soon seated by Ihe
side of the tombstone. No lesson went

The sight of bis slstcrs’s grave had b. eu

Accounts ftom Puerto Cabello stale,
that the Ligera frigate was ying then
ready for sea, and was to sail in a few d-. ys
for Gomans, with several .vessels under
tier convoy, laden with military stores,
for the relief of that place.
The Spanish privatefer schooner Cecil
lia, of 7 guns, and about 80 men, vailed
from Puerto Cabello, on Monday, to assist
in the blockade of I.a Guayrn.
A party of the Independent forces has
lias been for some lime past within a
short distance of Puerto Cabello, and lips
had a regular skirmish every nigh! with
the Spanish out-posts, and often drove
hack so close to the town that, the flashes
of the musketry wore distinctly seen by
persons on beard shipping in the harbon
A force of about 50 men occupied tbe
Vigia. This is a strong fortification
which commands Puerto Cabello. —
The guns were removed some time ago.

places, and from thence to the head quar
ters of Gen. Mon ilia, probably wit > ft view
to give additional imnulse, by his pre

“ All the offspring of the slaves born
after the date of this decree,'shall be free.
Their master will bring them up, and pro
vide for them, until their eighteenth
year, and until that period enjoy their
services.
“ No slaves can be so'd beyond the
provinces of their habitation; nor can any
children be separated from their mothers
Slaves can no longer imported ; and a
foreigner rrijying in any of the ports of
Columbia, will be allowed to import bin
one, under the denomination of a ser
vant, whom he must carry with him on
leaving the country, otherwise lio will be
looked upon as free. Those slaws who
have hitherto performed useful, services
to the Republic, willforthwith be consi
dered as free.”

Pleasant Anecdote of Dr.
Franklin.
“ Friend Franklin,” said Myers Fisher,
the celebrated quaker lawyer of Philadel
phia, one clay to the Doctor, “thee knows
almost every thing: can thee tell me how
lam to preserve my small beer in the
back yard? my neighbors are often tapp

“ Put a barrel of old Madeira by th.
side of it” replied the Doctor—“let them
but get a taste of th« Madeira and I’ll en
gage they will never trouble the smal
beer any more.”
