Iboetvn. LINES. mr j. a. bercwal. There arc moments in life that are never forgot, Which brighten and brighten as time steals away; They givo a new charm to the happiest lot, And they shine on the gloom of the loneliest dsy; Those moments are hallowed by smiles and by tears, The first look of love and the last parting given; As tho sun in tho dawn of his glory appears, *. , And the cloud weep, and glows with The rainbow in heaven. There are hours, there arc minutes which memory brings, ' , - Like blossoms of Eden to twine round the heart; And as time rustles on by the might of his wings, They may darken awhile, but they never dopart! Oh, these hallowed remembrances never decay, But they come on the soul with a magical thrill; In the days that are darkest they kindly will stay,'' And the heart in its last throb will beht with them still. • ^ , • - LADY’S BOOK, thlished by L. A. Godey ty Co. at the Athenian Buildings, Franklin Place, Philadelphia.— Price 83 per annum, (payable in advance.) One of the cheapest Works evet offered to the Public. [N presenting to tho public the October number of Uho Lady's Book, the Proprietors feel much pleas. e in invitiog attention to a comparison between it nd tho preceding numbers. It will be perceived bat a gradual, but decided improvement, has been cf. cted in its embellishments; particularly in the de. iriment of the costume fashions, which have been Executed by Kelly; on artist who, in the EmlicHish. lent which accompanies tills number, has literally iccllcd himself; rendering the prints of Fashions »f the Isitly's Book sufficiently excellent to compete Irilli the bout executed in London, and to surpass hose of Paris. Henco, the public will perceive that hopes of progressive improvement, which the roprietors of the Lady's Book have expressed to heir patrons, have boon fully realized. A very material change is observable in the rea. ling department of tho Lady's Book, which improve, neat will proceed, or, at least, bo sustained, by the sort ions of its contributors; and, as a further ex. i pression of their gratitude to a patronizing communi j 1y, the publication for January, 1834, will contain (TSrovtadditional pages, and the whole num ber will be exclusively devoted to and composed of . original subjects—every art cle written expressly for ; tho work. ' Among the contributors on this occasion, may be enumerated Miss Lcslio, author of the Prize Tale entitled “ .Mrs. Washington Potts”—Mrs. Hentz, author of tho Prize Tragedy—the late Mrs. Gilfert— Joseph R. Chandler, Esq.—J. A Shea, author of Vdolph, Address to the Ocean, &c.—nho author of ‘A Tale of Fashionable Life”—the author of ‘Sketches of a Jurist-Consult"—Y. P.—A. E.— nd other well known and popular writers, whose rode clions have given so peculiar a delight to tho eaders of the Lady's Book. This publication has sen always distinguished for its beautiful engravings fthe Fashions, but it is the intention of the Propri. ors to render the one for January still more splen. d than the previous ones. The public will per- eivo that, without heralding it by professions, a ref- ranee to past experience is the best promise of fu. arc exertions, which it shall bo the publishers’ study > render both prompt and pleasing. iPUBtclIana.

But here we have something splinter new—a hero of an'entire new school—the school of Nim rod Wildfire. I:' ever man deserved immortality it is Da vid Crockett; and if ever man had a biogra pher predestined from the beginning of the world—at least of the new world—to confer it upon him, it is the identical David Crockett, late member for the district of the Hurricanes, and veritable owner of the unerring rifle com monly called “ Betsey.” A CARD. ' In directing tho attention of their readers to the improvements and exertions which have been incrcas. ittgly made, to elevate the Lady's Book to that station vhicli it now occupies, the Proprietors have incurred , very considerable expense, which deserves, on the ubscriber’s part, a suitable punctuality in meeting heir engagements. To them, individually, the at of the subscription is a trifle, but to tho pro. btors, it is, collectively, of the utmost importance; nd it is confidently expected that the early tram:, aission of arrears, will prove to them that their in. eutions and exertions have not been disregarded or F forgotten, by those for whom they have been.made. After the first of January it is the intention of the I proprietors to send circulars to all who are in arrears lone year. Subaerioers wishing to avoid the expense | of postage, will please make payment before that time. Life of David Crockett.—We received from Mr. Kellogg a few days since, a copy of “the life of Crockett,” and as we were about framing a notice of it, we came across onC ready made, which we prefer • borrowing from the New York Atlas.—Mobile Register. Hurrah for Old Kentuck !—Whoop !— Here we have it “ on a large scale,” a roarer from the Salt Licks, chock full of fun and fight, fisting and feeling, frolic and friendli ness—all united in one man, and set forth at length in a work just issued by the brothers Harper, entitled,« Sketches and Eccentrici. ties of Colonel.David Crockett, of East Ten nessee.” He is a leettelest the savagist critter you ev er did sec ! Orson, the wild man of the woods, is nothing tp him—not a circumstance —not a huckleberry ; and Munchausen, who shot a bear, when all the ammunition he possess, ed was two spare, flints, can’t hold a candle to the Colonel! He’s got the fastest horse and the prettiest sister, the surest rifle, and the ug- liest dog, in the district ; and though his fa ther can whip any man in all Kentuck, he can lick his father ! He can run faster, dive deeper, stay longer under and come out drier, than any other chap this side the big swamp; and can grin the bark off a tree—look a pan ther to death—(ate a steamboat on his back land three streaks of lightning without dodging—besides playing at “ rough and tumble” with a lion, with an occasional kick from a zebra !

He lives, moves, rides, walks, ruiis, swims, fights, hunts, courts, mar ries, and has children, on a great scale !

Interesting Anecdote.—We need hard ly tell our readers, that we have been uniform and very decided in pur opposition to Gen Jackson; that we did what we could to pre vent his election and re-election; that we have condemned many pf the measures of his administration ; .and that we shall, pro bably, continue to say hard things of him as occasion offers. We take not the less pleas ure, however, in giving publicity, for the first time, to an anecdote, which reflects sig nal honor upon Gen. Jackson, and indeed upon the American character. The authen ticity of the kstory is unquestionable. * We heard it from a gentleman, of. distinguished literary eminence, whose writings have pla ced him among the first of living authors, and of whom any country might be, as his own is, justly proud. It was related in a company, of whom was another distinguished individual, now representing his country abroad, but at the time to which the anec. dote refers, holding a situation, near the per son of his hero r which enabled him to bear testimony, from personal knowledge, to its truth; In the year 1624, our informant met, at the table of'General Sir George Airey, ma ny distinguished Englishmen, then in Paris. The conversation turned on the pending Pres idential election, and fears were expressed that, should General Jackson be elected, the amicable relations between the two countries might be endangered, in consequence of his implacable hostility to England, and his high handed exercise .of power, as evinced during his command at New Orleans. The neces sity, on the part of our informant, of replying to these observations, was superseded by the prompt and generous outbreak of one of the g .ests—Colonel Thornton, of the 85th—an officer well known for his frank and gallant character, and whose regiment suffered se verely in the attack of the 8th of January.— Heftestified in the handsomest terms, to the conduct of Gen. Jackson, as an able and faithful commander on that occasion, and de clared that, had he not used the power con- fided to him in the “ high handed” way allu ded to, New Orleans would infallibly have been captured. As to the charge of implaca ble .hostility, Colonel Thornton declared, that in all the intercourse, by .flag and otherwise, between the hostile commanders, Gen.'Jack- son had been peculiarly courteous and hu mane, and, to support this assertion, begged leave to mention one circumstance. He then proceeded to state, that on the. day after the that Federal institution with remarked inde- pendence. (Does the writer of this sketch mean to say, that Mr. Calhoun was one of the Old School State Rights < Republicans’?) “ 1807—Completed his law-course in Charleston under Chancellor Desaussure, having also attended the lectures of Judges Reeves and Gould, and was admitted to the .Bar.

The author of “ Charleston ” has omitted some most interesting traits' in the « Life and opinions of J. C. Calhoun.’* He might have told us, that In such a year, Mr. C. became the great supporter of the Baok of the U. S. In 1816, he laid the foundation of the Tar iff—particularly its minimum feature—and was a warm advocate of the Protective Sys tem. (gcorsia Hestelatur*. SENATE. ’ . Saturday, Nov. 30.

Jackson, arid thus handed over, with a request that they might be transmitted to the relatives of the gallant officers, to whom they had belonged. This anecdote, and the frank and soldier like style in which, it was given, turned the whole current of feeling in favour of the Gen eral, and drew forth an expression of applause from all parts of the table. “ For myself,” said our informant,” I felt a flash on my check arid a thrill of pride through my bosom, and in my heart I thanked the old.
