Making sure of .a welcome wherever they roain,
And every one knows that the Bachelor's den.
Is a room set apart for these singular men—
\ nook in the clouds, of some five feet by four,
Tho’ sometimes, perchance, it may be rather more.
With skylight or no light, ghosts, goblins and gloom
And every where termed ‘ The Old Bachelor's Room.
These creatures, they sov, arc hot valued at all,
Except when tite herd give a Bachelor’s Ball,
Then hrt.-s! in thf-ir best.
In their gold brotdircd vest.
It is known as a fact.
That they act with much t«rt.
And they lisp ‘ JIo.v d've do!’
And they coo and woo.
Arid they smile, for a ulti’e.
Their fair gues s to beguile ;
Gondescending snd bending,
For fear of offending,
Thn’ inert ~ Atnl they spy,
They exert, With their eye.
To be fieri. And they sigh,
An d to flirt, . As they fly,
And they whisk and they whir.
And are brisk whs:) they quiz;
For they meat, Advancing,
To bo sweet, And glancing,
And are fleet, And dancing,
On their fee’. And prancing.
Sliding and gliding, with minute pace,
J’iroitcting and setting with infinite grace.
And jumping. And racing,
And humping, And chasing,
And stumping, And pacing,
And thumping. And lacing.
They are flittering and glittering. gallant and gay.
Yawning all morning, and lounging all day.
But when he crows old.
And his sunshine is past,
Three score years Icing told,
Brings repentance at last.
He then becomes an old man :
ITis wannest friend's the warming pan;
He's fidgety, fretful and trearv : in fine,
Loves nothing but self, and dinner and wine.
He rates and he prates,
And reads the debates:
as he hml never seen before. This appear-1 in his hat, studying it for a few

proof, a handful of the stones, which Ire gave
tne.” A horse-!ic?d. Joseph Toth, who was
riding home the same evening, from the vast
plain which lies around, also confirmed the ac
count. and stated that thu hand and arm which
held the reins were next morning much stvol-j
len from tho strokes of the stones. The Baron ;
then continues: ;; l now examined the fie dsj
around, and found nil over stones lying afoul j
oi tite same kind as those described hy the ;
maize-tender. Each minute I descaled tho us- j
attds and thousands, and collected » quautity 1
of them. 1 was then conduct, d through gar- j
dons, maize-fields, and gourd-grounds, anil ll
found the leaves all over pierced through in j
a peculiar manner, and then brownish corns |
lying among and between them, which had i
occasioned the injury. The soil of this neigh-J
borhood was a whitish fine kind of sand and j
here and there mixed with loam through the
cultivation. In some places ditches had been j
dug. and here the white sand was thrown up. j
which enabled me to judge very accurately of
the quautity and size of the stones which had
fallen. On* a spot ol this description I deter
mined to ascertain 'whether the soil itself
might not contain something similar to the
stottps, and broke many pieces of earth, rub
bing them in my hands to meal, but with all
my care, 1 could discover nothing in the
soil at all like the small bodies which lay in
such countless multitudes on the surface.” By
observation subsequently made, lie discovered
1 that the stones, fell from west to east, ut an an
gle of about forty-five degrees.
The circumstances of this meteoric shower
at Lwati are entirely different in alt respects
from any that are. known to have taken place.
Generally speaking, they occur accompanied
with fire and flames, thunder, &c., and the
stones fall hissing and smoking to the earth.—
Nothing «>f this kind took place at Iwnn. On
the contrary, so dense was the darkness that
the horse-herd complained he could scarcely
see his wav home. No light at ail was visi
ble. Instead of warmth the stones brought
cold along with them, and the mafte-tender as
sured me that the balls lie felt were not only
I quite coll], but that the temperature became
jiit the same time quite frqstv. This account
| was confirmed by too clergyman, Tatay. As
j js well known, the 10th of A'>gnst was one oi
| the days celebrated for shooting stars, and this
j the Baron considers to he it) some way con-
| uecled with the phenomenon. The weather
j at hvan was very clear in the morning. At
i noon flaoey clouds formed themselves, and be-
j tween four and five o’clock in the evening a
wind sprung up, which increased into a storm
and regular whirlwind, which continued for
some time, accompanied hy violent rain. Be
tween eight and nine o'clock all again was
tranquil, and the weather remained till ten
o’clock, when tho shower before mentioned
took place. Curious enough, notwithstanding
j ttie air was quiet, the stones fell at a consider
able angle, which shows some other power
i must have been working on them as well as
1 their gravity.
j The well known meteorite ol Agrirn was
driven many yards deep into tho earth; this
! was not the case here, in consequence of the
| bodies being much smaller; but at I wan they
i were driven in some instances hall an inch
deep into moist soil. The size was very va
rious. I have some which are as large as a
hazlcnnt; most are as big as a pea, or grain
nirrg ire sat down to Homer’s Iliad, and read
twenty books of it during the second winter.
He next turned to the modern tongues, and
went to New Haven, where he recited to na

and Italian, and at the end of two years he
returned to his forge, taking with him such
books ns be could procure. He next com
menced lit brew, and soon mastered it with
ease, read ng two chapters in the Bible before

tit that period, he heard of tii<‘ American Anti

lent his steps, and found a collection of an

never imagined to be collected in one place'.

No Call to Improvement.
He that believes that agriculture is perfect,
and that we have nothing to do but tc pursue
the old and beaten track, ns the blind animals
tutu to mre umtsett u. m.u.» move around the tread-mill, deservesourcom-
uropthinking he could there i P n ^> ln »- Nature proclaims that neither ngri*
ks at the different ports lie clllllllv , uor any other branch of natural sci
ence, can ever become perfect. The mind
of man is capable ol ind< finite improvement)
so are all the productions of nature. For ex
ample, look at the. valuable plants in the con
dition in which they were first louud in their
native woods. The various kinds of corn,
potatoes, cabbages, fruits, etc., were all, before
they were touched hy the finger of culture, as
unlike what they now’ are, as different species
are unlike. They are all susceptible of con
tinual improvement, all ever running into
new varieties. It is not long ago that the po-
tatoe was a useless, unhealthy vegetable in the
woods of South America, where it wns first
found: but it has been so changed by the
hand of care nr.d industry, as to become
large and healthy, and now supplies food for
more human beings throughout the earth, than
any plant, save corn and rice, and is no^doubt
destined to as much future improvement ns it
has received in ihe past. Compare the maize,
or Indian corn, ns first seen’in the feeble stalk
and slendet roasting ear around the Avigwnm,
with its hundred varieties in its present hintn-
rtty, yielding in value its countless 'thousands
to national wealth. And we are just now be.
ginning to see the improvement of which this
val table plant is still susceptible.
The succession of the seasons—the calnjr-
the stonn—the course of the winds—the revo*
lotion of heavenly bodies— the nature of ihe
earth—the find of plants—the influence of
water, light, heat, and air, oh the growth of
vegetation—the proper composition of various
soils to furnish, the greatest amount of produc
tion, will ever be subjects too broad for the
full grasp of the most profound philosophers,
and in the unfathomable profundities of which,
now discoveries will be made ns long 11s Inis

Sage Observations.
It has been remarked by a friend of onrs, a
shrewd observer of human nature, that mil
lers, when they speak, use floury language.
That carpcuteis are,fot the most part, plane
men.
■ ~ r*” w —
offifty languages with greater or less facility.
In bis lecture in this city, which we men
tioned last week, Mr. Bnrritt aimed to show
that by a persevering culture of the mind, an
eminence might be attained equal to any that
has formerly been won ; that what man has
done,-man can do again, and He who formed
our spirits, placed amrng onr common facul
ties. those which may be polished into an ex
quisite perfection, as ever the mind of matt
has heretofore shown them to have been.
From the earliest stages of life up to man
hood the nvud of man wns constantly receiv
ing false images and influence'. He was
taught to believe that there were so ne who
were horn with faculties which were dented
to others, and he who possessed these facul
ties more than anoth<# was said to possess na
tive genius. If a man 'outstrippedliis fellows,
and reached the eminence which was the sure
reward of his exertion, the world ascribed it
to his native genius, unmindful of the Sisyph
us-like labor of each step, which led him to
ward the accomplishment of his purpose.
The idea that native genius nuts confined to
the. few, has deterred many from tasting the
fruit of the tree of knowledge. Nothing was
to he gained without effort, and if the resolu
tion could he formed, and maintained with
sturdy energy, to press forward regardless of
the. influences which the world spread around
him oil every side, he might attain to the high
est eminen'e. He urged it upon the attention
of those assembled, and brought Ii s own expe
rience to bear upon what lie advanced.

The nir was still, when suddenly a tolerably

severely 011 the face that he was compelled to

he tlte most curious hail-storm he had ever ex
perienced. Arrived at Uf jees, we met a num
ber of clergymen and government officers, who
had met together to celebrate a family festival;
these talked of the matter as admitting of not
a shadow of doubt, and related to me aquan-
tity ot particulars: and 1 prevailed on one of
Ihe most communicative to go wffh me to the
spot where the phenomenon had taken place,
to convince myself of the fact. All 'the offi

As yet there lias been no time for a regular
chymical analysis, hut this will immedi-
tely take place. The chief ingredients are
oxvdateof iron oxide of iron, and oxyhydmte ot
iron, as well as flint, lime, and day earth.—
The oxvhvdrnle of iron is very astonishing,
and perhaps never heard of in the history o!
meteorites. He supposed that on every halt
inch of ground there was one of these stones,
and computing the extent'ol country covered,
he considers that about 350,000 millions must
have fallen. He considers that 10,000 of these,
of all sizes, go to a pound ; and, therefore, the
weight of all those fallen must have, been
about 35,000qniutals. This enlightened Cor
respondent afterwards goes into a lengthy
speculation on the origin of this phenomenon,
and he considers them Vo be planetary bodies
of the same age as Jupiter, Saturn, &r., and
even thinks this most extraordinary phenome
non will prove an epoch in geological as well
as astronomical observations.

A letter, written by Elihn Bnrritt, the learn
ed blacksmith, who so recently lectured 111
this city,^contains some interesting lucideiitsof
his career. .
Mr. Bngritt mentions that, being one of a
Inruc fantilv, and his parents poor, he appren
ticed himself, when very young, to a black
smith, but that he had always had such a
taste for reading, that he carried it with turn
10 his trade. He commenced the study of
Lntin when his indentures wera not half ex-
pired, and completed reading Virgil ip the
evenirigs of one winter, He next studied
Greek, and carried the'<ir<I^frGt , a<tt‘naaf about

Truly the people are many, and resources
very great; and their responsibility is increas
ed disproportion to their numbers and resour
Now just ulhrico a) the number ol clrldren
belonging to the members and Ministers of the j
Church. 0 According to the last census the
number of white persons in the United Stales
is 14.103,218. The numbers of persons of
iburteen years and tinder is 0.201,219 : and
die number of persons front fifteen to twenty
;s 1.548,203. By the same proportion, the
number of children from 1 too, belonging to
tlie 832,780 Methodists, would be 97,544 ; so
that the total numbers of young persons from
nineteen years and under belonging to the
families of members and ministers ofthe Meth
odist Episcopal Church, would he 487,722:
and the total number of members and their
children would be 1,3S0,502.
Perhaps the adherents' of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and those who depend on
her ministration for instruction, may be set
down as equal in number to the members; so
that the parents and children of adherents and
members, if this calculation be correct, would
be 2.701,604-
j rpi, e whole aggregate of tho children and
yonna- persons Lorn nineteen years and down
wards, of both adherents and members, would
be 975,444. , ,
Let us now calculate how many of these

«hc Chnrclvas well as by their parents., in
Sunday Schools, Bible classes, and pastoral
catechising The following may approximate
near enough the truth, for all practical pnrno-

There is more truth in (he remark than
most persons are willing to admit. The lov
er is ail sighs and affection—the husband, or
wife is rather more philosophic. The war
mer the courtship, the sooner ihe estrange
ment after marriage. Love to last long, must
not be quite so ardent as many pretend, A
little reason combined with it. proves a very
sensible affair; hut all love is “nil in your
eyes.” We always smile m our sleeve when
we. hear persons telling \vhat they will do af

An old fellow in Rankin county, (say's the

argument against the law. “I’m ngiu it, be

wants some sugar and coffee for his wife mid
children. Now then be cant buy less than a
gallon of whiskey, and that costs two dollars.
Well, what’s Ins wife and children to do for
