Hast thou sounded the depths of yonder sea, And counted the sands that under it be? Hast thou measur’d the height of heaven above! Then may’st thou mete out a mother’s love. Hast thou talk’d with the blessed of lead- ingon T ihe throne of God some wandering son ? Hast thou witnessed the angel’s bright em ploy ? Then may’st thou speak of a mother’s joy. Evening and morn hast thou watch’d the bee Go forth on her errands of industry ? The bee for herself hath gather’d and toil’d, Bat ihe mothei’s cares are all for her child. Hast thou gone with the traveller thought afar, From noie to pole, and from star to star? Thou lia t; but on ocean earth or sea, The heart of a mother has gone with thee. There is not a grand inspiring thought, There is not a truth by wisdom taught, There is not a feeling pure and high, That may not be read in a mother’s eye. And ever since earth began, that look H as been to the wise an open book, To win them back from the loss they prize, To the holier love that edilies. There are teachings on earth, and sky, and air, The heavens the glory of God declare; But louder than voice beneath, above, He is heard to speak in a mother’s love. ever, arc about throwing off the 6tiff rcsuuuus wlneii were ioiuierly im posed upou their sex in conversation; which is one ot the strongest evidences of the refinement winch has taueu place in the female character its this respect* within a few years. What can he farther from impropriety than to hear a young lady express Her candid opinion, even with enthusiasm, on 1 ev ery subject which may be introduced for discussion? Nolliiug—for what were the powers of reason given her, but to think and speak tor herself?— Why, then, should she consent to be a mere parrot or imitator ol even those who are perhaps' in intellect far her inferiors? Whatever young ladies may suppose—t'c learned sex feel and express more pleasure in discover ing their neighbor at a party is capa ble of conversing with animation and intelligence, than if, though possessed ol the beauty of Venus, she prove a thing tit only to be gazed at by cox combs, or Haltered by those whose minds are as superficial as her own. If a lady chooses to introduce frivo lous topics, such as balls, fashions, &c. her gallant companion can do no less than join in the conversation, but he will take the liberty to draw infer ences on the occasion, relative to the quality of her mind, of which she might not be ambitious. I would by no means recommended to young hi dies a forwardness in introducing sub jects for discussion in the society of their superiors: this might subject them to the accusation of pedantry- hut I would have them converse on all occasions with ease and modesty expressing always their candid senti ments, if required. Franks were perfectly safe, while the Greeks were shot without mercy wherever they were met by the mob; and, notwithstanding a few accidents which occurred to individuals in the confusion, we never hesitated to walk abioad, either in the town or its vi cinity, for business or amusement, though every Turk was armed w ith a yatagan, and case of loaded pistols, which he was ready to use on the slight est provocation. On more recent occa sions, where such real cause of com plaint and irritation existed, it is but justice to the present Sultan to say, that his moderation and good iaith have afforded examples, which the Christian nations in Europe might be proud to follow. MISCELLANEOUS. From the Bower of Taste. MANNERS AND CONVERSATION OF FEMALES IN SOCIETY. Young persons are too often in structed to appear well in the compa ny of their superiors—to be respectful in their demeanor, and delicate in their conversation, and told that a contrary mode of behaviour would rentier them censured by society— without leference to their conduct in private. This mode of instruction certainly induces them to acquire ar tificial habits, and manners, which tend only to conceal, without indicat ing the defects of their characters.— This is a most pernicious course to a- dopt, not only with regard to society but themselves. It is a more ardu ous task than is generally imagined, to act in masquerade, to snpport a char acter which is foreign- to our own without being in some instance detect-, ed: besides, what real pleasure can be derived from an intercourse with persons who are ignorant of each oth er’s characters and sentiments? Wt should improve the talents which are given us, and refine as much as possi ble noon every example that is pre sented for imitation, but in no instance pretend to virtues and graces which Wt dn not possess ff nelsons, not only in youth, but in m i I n re life, would condescend to ex ert their own powers and capacities in conversation, without being depend en* upon others for a model, the collo quia! pleasures of society would he piuch enhanced, particularly in the fe mile circle American ladies, how From Walsh’s Narrative. THE SULTAN, MAHMOUD. The present Sultan, who lias effect ed this perilous undertaking, in which so many of his predecessors failed, is a' man, not in the prime, but still in the vigor of life. lie succeeced his brother Mustapha, in the year 1808, and so has been on the throne twenty years. He is now the only survivor, I believe of thirty chiidieu —fifteen boys, and hlteen gi.ls— which his father left; and is the lust of the male race of Mahoiuet of an age fit to reign: and it is to this cir cumstance, they say, that he is indebt ed for his inviolability: had there been another of the sacred race, old enough to substitute in his place, the Janissaries would have long since de posed him. He had two sons; one a- bout the age of ten, to whom their eyes were turned as his successor when he should arrive at competent years: and he knew, by experience, it was as easy for them to do this as to say it; for b <h of his pitdcscessor had been strangled, one of w hom was his own brother. His son prematurely died; and it was reported that he had been made away with by his own father, lest he should he set up in his place. It is known, however, that the bojtolied of the smallpox, and that his father has given an extraordinary example to his subjects, by having his surviving children vaccinated; and so has shown, iii one instance at least, a disposition to adopt European im provements in things not merely niil- it ly. He is, moreover, a man well versed in Oriental literature, writes ml understands Arabic well; and his Hata sheriffs, which he always dic tates, and sometimes writes with his own hand are admired for their style and composition. He is not a man of morose or cruel disposition in his own family: on the contrary, he has several daughters by different mothers, to all of w'hom he is affectionately attached; and in his ordinary intercourse in pri vate life, he is urbane and affable.— His public conduct, has been marked by extraordinary fierceness and unre lenting rigor, not only to Rajas, but to Turks themselves; and in this he has shown an impartial disregard to hu man life, and not a strict adherence to human obligations. But whatever his conduct has been to his own sub jects. to those of other nations, he has afforded the most inviolable protec tion. He has discontinued the barba rous practice of his predescessors, in sending ambassadors to the Seven Towers; instead of which, whenever they disagree, and are disposed to de part, he affords them every falicity. and those of their own nation who please to remain,are in security. Dur ing the frenzied excitemet of the pop ulace, which took place at the break ing out of the Greek insurrection, the odium and prejudice of the Turks ex tended to all Christians; jet the English Newspapers.-A list of News papers and other periodicals has lately been sent us, of which Mr. E. Wilmer of Liverpool, is the general agent, furnishing us with some curious particulars respecting these publica tions in Great Britain. The only dai ly papers published in these two is lands, are established in London and Dublin. Of these London has fifteen and Dublin four. Even Liverpool, with its extensive trade, has no daily paper, nor Edinburgh the great city of the north, n jr the commercial Glas gow. Four tri-weekly papers are published at London, seven semi-week ly, and forty-two weekly, of which nineteen are issued on Sunday, Edin burgh has two tri-weekly papers, four semi-weekly, & three weekly. Glas gow has two tii-weekly two semi- •veekly, and three weekly. The eight newspapers of Liverpool are publish ed weekly. We do not understand the manner in which the prices are graduated. The price of an annual subscription to the Morning Post, the Public Ledg er, the Morning Advertiser, the Star, and the British Traveller, is 9/ 16s. 'fhe Sun, a paper as large as any of these, is offored ai 61 1 Os, as are also the Morning Herald, the Chronicle, and Journal, the Times, & the Globe. The Courier and Standard occupy a sort of middle ground in respect lo price, and are put at 11 3s. The prices of the weekly papers vary very considerably. The year ly subscription for the Allas, a Sun day paper, is 3/ Is; others are fixed at intermediate prices, between that sum and 1/ 15, which is the price of Cobbett’s Register. The literary Gazette, Chronicle,&c. are furnished for 1/ 19s 6d, Iii these respects the English papers differ very much from those establishe in this country;whcre all daily pnpers in the same city are published on the same terms of sub scription, whatever may be the dif ference of size or in amount of matter, and very little difference exists we believe in the price of the weekly papers in town or in country. The difference that exists in England pro bably arises from the fact, that the papers are not subscribed for in the manner that ours are, but are con tracted for in quantities by persons who dispose of them as they can. The greater demand for any given paper and the existence of any peculiar cir cumstance increasing the expence of conducting it, might thus induce the proprietors to put it at a higher price than the others. The Law Advertiser, a weekly paper, is issued for 7/ 15s per anuum.-A’. Y. Evening Post, Jan. 31. UNITED STATES AND SAND WICH ISLANDS. We learn by a letter from Washing*- ton, dated 19th inst. that Commodore Thompson had written from Norfolk to the Secretary of the Navy, that the Guerricre was ready for sea, only waited for sailing orders. A very satisfactory and valuable communication is t» be conveyed from the Cabinet to the King and Chiefs of the Sandwich Islands, under the great seal of the nation, together with presents from the President, as follows; For the King, a pair of Globes, a large Map of the United States, and a rich ink, sand and wafer stand. For Kaahumanu, (the head Chief, who is a woman;) a silver vase, with the Arms of the United States and an inscription. For the young Princess, two hand some silver goblets, with the same insignia and inscription. For Boki. a large map of the World. The same for Adams; and other ar ticles for the Chiefs next highest in rank. Iu the official letter, our informant states that the character and object of the missionaries are acknowledged, and they and their work are com mended lo the King and chiefs, as in volving the true happiness and best in terests of the islands. 'they are en couraged to euact laws for their own purposes, and enforce them ou their visiters, and requested to report to the Government of the United Slates any misdemeanors on the part of A- menean ship masters and seamen. Joum. of Comm. Jin awful squinting at Monarchy.— The following is a literal extract of a letter from the Dey of Algiers to Mr. Madison, of the 24lh April, jlttli* ‘•To his Majesty, the Emperor of America, its adjacent and dependent Provinces and coasts, and wherever his Government may extend, our no ble friend, the support of the Kings of the nation of Jesus, the pillar of all Christian Sovereigns, the most glori ous among the Priuces, elected a- mongst many Lords and Nobles, tbe happy, the great, the amiable, James Madison, Emperor of America, (may his reign be happy and glorious, and his life long and prosperous,) wishing him long possession of the seal of his blessed throne,and long life and health, Aincn! Hoping that your health is iu good state, I inform you that mine is excellent, thanks to the supreme Be ing, constantly addressing my humble prayers to the Almighty for your fe licity.” — Manner.—Ease of manner in a wo man is very pleasing, when the self- possession which gives it is unaccom panied by masculine courage, or by an undue value for herself In general, the manners will be free from any painful degree of constraint, when the mind is not engaged upon self or oc cupied with the idea of exciting at tention and admiration from those a- round. Affectation has its origin from these sources; and this, being a symptom of a weak mind, is entirely destructive of good manners. Good sense and simplicity of manners are generally companions, forming a natur al gentility, which is far preferable to any artificial politeness, inasmuch as the one is a part of the individual her self, & the other only a garb worn w hen occusion call for it. However, those who possess this natural gentility mi y rendered as interesting as the means of editor wiil allow. Owing to the want of an assistant, it is impossible to devote a large portion of the paper to the Cherokee lan guage, as the whole .must be original—The editor will however do what he can.

And it is said of Fabricius, that a man might as well attempt to tur the sun out of its course as bring him to a dishonast action.

CHEROKEE PHOENIX, And Indians' Advocate. T HE SUBSCRIBER commenced the duties of his station, as editor of this paper, with a trembling hand and a reluct ant heart. He had no experience to aid him, and but limited information to recom mend him to the public. He has however progressed so far, generally, to the satisfao tion of Imt readers, for which he is thankful As the first volume of the Phoenix is on the ere of closing, the editor has thought best to apprize tne public that a new volume will he commenced next month, and that the great object of its founders, the benefit of the Cherokees, will stillbe assid uously pursued. It is unnecessary to re peat and particularize the principles under which the future numbers of the Phoenix will be conducted—the principles will be similar to those which have governed the past numbers. The paper is 6acred to the cause of Indians, anu tne editor will feci himself especially bound as far as his time talents and information will permit, to ren der it as instructive and entertaining as possible to his brethren, and endeavor to enlist the friendly feelings and sympathies of his subscribers abroad, in favor of the aborigines. As the present policy of the General Government, the removal of all the Indians beyond the limits of organized States or Territories, is assuming an important as- I iect, the editor will feel himself bound to ay before his readers all that may be said on this subject, particularly the objections against this measure of the Government. Particular attention will be given to ju dicious miscellany. Choice pieces on re ligion and morals, domestic economy &>c. will find a readv admittance in the Phunix. The original part of the paper will bo THE CASKET, Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentis mcnC A PERIODICAL Miscellany, issued monthly, eaeb No. containing48royal ociavo pagCs of letter press, and embellish ed with one Copperlate, and several Wood Engravings, forming, at the end oftheyean a v olurae of about UOO pages, ' when an el egant title page and general index are ad; ded. It is now three years since the publics* tion of tbe Casket commenced, ana during that time it has steadily acquired a patron age that has never before, it is believed been extended to any monthly publication in this country. The plan marked out at the commencement of the last year has been constantly pursued, and such other improvements adopted and engrafted upon the original design, as circumstance have suggested, and experience sanctioned. Ft is the intention of the publisher to meet the increased patronage which the Casket is receiving, by correspondent efforts to improve its appearance and enhance itsia terest. The sources whence instruction and amusing articles may be derived, are continually multiplying with the steady e-4 mand which the increase of general read ing causes; and the publisher of the Casket possesses every requisite facility for obtain-, ing the best St earliest s- lections of foreign andldomcstic literary productions. Tne plan of giving views of interesting American Scenery, accompanied with ap propriate description, will be continued with improvements in the mechanical ana literary departments thereof; as a decided approbation of such articles has been ex pressed by a very considerable number of' patrons of the Casket. The love of dome*, tic scenery, properly ministered to, may be made a means of public good—certainly of rational enjoyment. Portraits of distinguished Americans will continue to be placed in the Casket, and such a sketch of character of the person, or incidents of his life, will be furnished, as shall serve to place his virtues prominently before the reader; with a view not less of justice to the dead, than of an example to the living. In this department, particu larly, it will be the aim of the publisher to- present such interesting original matter as shall give a new value'to this Casket; in fact, permanency to its interest. To the facts of biography, the descrip tion of existing scenery, and the details of past events, will be added, the instructive, fiction of moral tales; those especially which are intended to illustrate the man ners and customs of particular sections of the Union, and those which are calculated to strengthen virtuous resolution, by exhib- ing in proper light, vice and its pernicious consequences, and showing virtue as af fording its own rich reward. As a relief to these presented subjects, all due atten- will he given to the light reading, poetry, anecdote, and those etceteras vvnicn con stitute the agreeable melange of an enter taining periodical, and which give a zest to details of facts, and the graver and se vere composition, moral essays. The price of subscription to the Casket,. 2 dollars and 50 cents a year if paid in ad vance, or 3 dollars and 50 cents at the end of a year, is scarcely half that demanded for any work of an equal size in the coun try, aud it is not the intention of the pub lisher to increase that price, notwithstand ing his extra expenditures to enhance, its value. With this brief reference to the contents of the Casket, and a. renewed assurance- that its typographical execution shall be of- the first kind, and mechanical arr an K e ments, generally, such as shall insure to A aforvorable reception, the publisher oH er s the work to the public for an increased P a t-* ronage.
