instant, near Wolfs Ferry, in Hardin county,
Tennessee.
JOHN STEP is about 26 years of age, 5
feet 8 or 9 inches high, dark complexion, dark

tle inclined to be stoop-shouldered, dark com
plexion, dark eyes, dark hair inclined to curl,
and very high cheek bones. The bones of his
right hand nave been broken near the middle
of the palm, and occasions a considerable ridge
on the back of his hand.
The Steps formerly resided in the Cherokee

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
IT was with sincere pleasure that the pub
lisher mentioned last season, the arrange
ment by which THE LADY’S BOOK and
LADJES’ AMERICAN MAGAZINE, were
united, and to be edited by Mrs. Sarah J.
Hale. It is with equal pleasure that lie now
informs the patrons of the work, that he has
made an arrangement with Miss Leslie, au
thor of Pencil Sketches, Mrs. Washington
Potts, &c. &c., who will be connected with
Mrs. Hale in lending interest to the pages of
the Lady’s Book. Her powerful aid will com
mence with the January number, 1838. In
addition to the above every number of the
work next year will contain a plate of su
perbly colored fashions.
The subscriber endeavors by extraordinary
exertions to show his gratitude for the very
many favors he has received from his kind
friends, the public. From among the many fe
male writers of America, perhaps no two La
dies could have been selected, whose varied
talents are so well calculated to adorn a work
like the Lady’s Book. When it is also men
tioned that Mrs. Sigourney, the Hemans of
America and Grenville Mellen are con
tributors to the poetieal department, it will be
useless to waste argument in endeavoring to
show what is apparent that the Lady's Book
will stand unrivalled among the periodicals of
the country.
Each number also contains two pages of
Fashionable music—in many cases original.

TEARS.
BY THE nOX. CHIEF JUSTICE MELLEN OF MAINE.
Crystals, where are your recesses,
Where the home of your repose,
When the world around caresses,
And the heart no sorrow knows ?
Then, the eye is bright and gleaming
Asa summer’s smiling day;
Joy and peace may there be beaming,
Still uninfluenced by your sway.
Why should sudden bursts ol feeling,
Why should transport flood the eyes?
Why, when from your fountain stealing,
Do ye flow mid rapture's sighs ?
Where’s the fount, whence pain and anguish
Call ye forth for their relief?
Causing agony to languish
Into deep and dark’ning grief ?
Crystal tears, so freely pouring,
Prompt their duty to perform,
Tell when gentle gales are blowing
Round the heart, and when the storm :
Messengers of gladness, rushing,
Bearing orders from the heart;
Showering cheeks, in beauty blushing,
Laughing at the painter's art.
Messengers of deepest sorrow,
' From the seat of cruel pain ;
Hoping still that of to-morrow,
While hope’s promises ar» vain !
Messengers of tender passion,
Melting sympathy and love,
Hearts o’erflowing with compassion,
Warm’d with influence from above.
Messengers from hearts despairing,
And front Conscience, in alarm :
Its frightful catalogue preparing,
And no aid from mortal arm;
Messengers from hearts repenting,
Washing qpt the stains of sin :
Mercy smiling—Heaven assenting—
Peace around and peace within !
MISCELLANY.
[From the Philadelphia Saturday News.]
A QUEER CUSTOMER.
‘lt is most amusing,’ said Richard Mer
vyn, as he relinquished the attempt to rise
from the gutter at the corner of— and—
streets. ‘lt is really astonishing how
soon this dreadful climate of America
brings on old age. I shall never survive to
get home and write a book about tjie
place—never. Here I am, six feet two,
without my stockings, sprawling in a dirty,
republican gutter, without being able to
help myself out of it. There’s a lamp
winking and blinking in my face, as if it
wants to laugh, and would, if it had a
mouth, and a big brute of a dog just now
nosed me to see whether I wa3 good to
eat. What a country! what gutters!
and what liquor! I only took nine small
ers of whiskey, and what with that and
premature old age, I verily believe I am as
sassinated— I’m a gone chicken!’
Mr. Meryyn now clamored so loudly
that assistance soon came.
‘Silence there! what’s the matter?’
‘Matter yourself—l’m being done, or
as some people say, I’m doing. The
march of mind has tripped, and Richard
Mervyn is too deep for himself. Help me
out—gently—there. Aint I in a pretty
pickle? This is what the doctors call
gutta serena, is’nt it?’
‘When I was at school the boys would
have called you a guttural.’
‘They would’nt have known much gram
mar, if they did. I’m a liquid—see me
drip.’
‘Oh! ho!’ said the watch, ‘don’t try to
be funny; I know you well enough, now
you’ve wiped your face. You’re the chap
that locked me up in my box once, and
I when I hurst open the door, you knocked
I me heels over head, and legged it.’
‘That’s me. I did that thing. llow
do you like the ups and downs of public
life? Is’nt variety charming?’
‘lf it was’nt that I’m a public function
ary, and mus’nt give way to my feelings,
I’d crack your cocoa, and ease my mind
of doing as I was done by. I’ll m-.ke an
| example of you, however. You’re my
prisoner. Hally roos/ta to the watch ’us.
| That’s the Dutch for being took up.’
‘Well, give us your arm. Don’t be a
fraid of the mud. Gutter mud is very
wholesome. Look at the pigs how fat it
makes ’em : and if you like fat pork why
Jshouid’nt you like what makes pork fat?
I So—so—steady Now I’ll tell you all a
bout t’other night. I was passing your
box in a friendly promiscuous sort of a
i way, I thought you were asleep, or had
i run down, and I turned the key to wind
you up. If a watch aiut wound up, it
i can’t either keep good time, or even go.’
‘Well, what else?’
‘W hy, then I watch’d the box, and when
you came out, I boxed the watch. That’s
- all. It grew out of my obliging disposi
tion.’
] ‘Ha! very obliging. Now it’s my turn
to wind you up, and to do it in the same
way. I’ll take you before the watch-ma
ker, to be cleansed and£regulated. You
go too fast, but I’ll put a spoke in your
wheel; he’ll set you hy the State House,
and make you keep good time.’
‘Why, watchy, you’re a wag. Why
don’t you say that I was a horizontal, and
that you lifted me up like a patent lever?
You’re awake now; but that night you
was’nt up to trap, or you would have
caught me; I caught a weazle asleep that
time—l put fresh salt on you for once.’
To add one more to his vagaries, Mer
vyn now refused to walk a step further ;
and sitting down on a step, loudly avow
ed his resolution, and declared his name
was not Wafker.
‘Whether your name is Walker
yon must go.’
‘Not without a go-cart —you can’t force
me to go—l’m a legal tender, and you
must take me. Hav’nt I got an office, or
at least a public situation here on the
steps? If I must go, it shall be on the
yankee principle of rotation ; bring me a
wheel-barrow. Reform me out regularly.’
It was procured, and away they went.
‘So we go,’ said Mervyn, ‘Charley’s
making a barrow night of me. Gently
over the stones! I don’t like bumpers
except when I get them of porter. This
is the way to Wheeling—hurra! cart be
fore the horse!’ - '■>
Arrived at the watch-house, he insisted
upon being wheeled up stairs, and styled
the place a &amiio-nral castle. ‘l’m a
modest man,’ said he, ‘and no stairer. If
I can’t have a ride up l think myself en
titled to a draw-back.’ So saying he at
tempted to escape, but was soon caught,
being, as he said, ‘like Goldsmith's works,’
beautifully chased.’
The punster was soon carried aloft, and
next morning, sober and penitent, paid
his tipsy fine and his carriage hire with
a doleful countenance.
Annihilation is Impossible. It is
now ascertained, and is capable of the
clearest proof, that the simple elements
of which all substance is composed, can
not, hy any conceivable means he destroy
ed. They may indeed be so changed as
to present not the least resemblance to
their previous forms; they may he so min
gled with other bodies that their identity
cannot be traced—they may be dissipated
into invisible vapor, and he apparently an
nihilated; hut we learn from the science
of chemistry, that in every shape the same
elements remain inextinguishable and un
altered. The phenomena of solution af
fords some of the most obvious illustra
tion of complete change produced in bo
dies without causing their annihilation.
If a‘'piece of silver he immersed in] di
luted nitric, in a short time the silver will
he entirely dissolved. Its hardness, its?lus
tre, its tenacity, its specific gravity, all the
characteristics which distinguish it as a
metal are gone. Its very form has vanish
ed, and the hard, splendid, ponderous and
opaque metal, which a few minutes be
fore was immersed in the mixtures, is ap
parently annihilated. The liquid, howev
er, remains as limpid as before; it presents
no difference in appearance to indicate a
change. What then, has become of the
solid piece of silver which was placed in
the liquid?—must we conclude that it is
annihilated! Put some pieces of copper
into the solution and the silver will re-ap
pcar, and fall to the bottom of the glass in
small brilliant metallic crystals. Though
solution is one of the simplest processes
of nature, the limited faculties of man will
not permit him to comprehend the mode
in which it operates. There is not one
phenomenon of nature that the mind of
man can fully comprehend, and after pur
suing the enquiry as far as the mental ca
pacity will admit, he is still obliged to
confess that there is an operating power
beyond the reach of his comprehension.
[Bakewefi.
Col. Stone, the editorof the N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser, and lie is an experien
ced judge in such matters, says —
“If you wish to procure a good cup of
coffee, never ser.d for that which is roast
ed and ground outside of your own house.
| See that your cook roasts your coffee eve
ry morning. Do not hurry it, but let it
I only he moderately browned. Let it he
icooled in the roaster, air-tight, so that the
! aroma does not escape, and let it not be
| ground until wanted for the urn. Then,
jif well cleared, a goodly sized lump of
Stewart’s best refined sugar, and a spoon
: fill of cream, to a large cup —and mind
that the china be white—will render the
amber liquid fit to be swallowed by the
(grand Turk himself.
N. B.—ls you have no cream, use milk,
but be careful to boil it before you mix it
with your coffee; and remember that the
proportions between coffee and boiled
milk are very nearly half and half; or say
! three-fifths coffee and two-fifths milk.”
A person once said to a father whose
son was noted for laziness, that be thought
| his son was very much afraid of work.—
, ‘Afraid of work,’ replied the father, ‘not
at all—he will lay down and go to sleep
■ close by the 9idc of it.’
• The Pirate and the Dove. The fol
lowing interesting fact is related by An
dubon in his Ornithological Biography.—
In speaking of the Zenaida dove he says
—A tnan who was once a pirate assured
me that several times while at certain wells
dug in the burning, shelly sand of a well
known key which must be here nameless,
the soft and melancholy cry of the doves
awoke in his breast feelings which had long
slumbered, melted his heart to repentance
and caused him to linger at the spot in a
state of mind which he only wlro compares
the wretchedness of guilt within.him, with
the happiness of former innocence, can
truly feel. He said he never left the
place without increased fears of futurity,
associated as he was, although I believe
by force, with a hand of the most desper
ate villains that ever annoyed the naviga
tion to the Florida coast.
So deeply moved was he hy notes of
any bird, and especially by those of a dove,
the only soothing sounds he ever heard
during his life of horrors,that through these
plaintive notes and them alone, he was in
duced to escape from his vessel, abandon
his turbulent companions and return to a
family deploring his absence. After pay
ing a parting visit to those wells, and list
ening once more to the Zenaida dove, he
poured out his soul in supplication for
*mei>cy. f aud once morq become what one
has said to be, ‘the noblest work of God,’
9n honest man. His escape was effected
amidst difficulties and dangers; but no dan
ger seemed to him to be comparable with
the danger of one living in the violation
of human and divine laws; and now he
lives in peace in the midst of his friends.
Saturday Night. It is good when the
week is ended to look hack upon its bu
siness and its toils,and see wherein we have
failed of our duties or come short of what
we should have done. The close of the
week should he to each of us as the close
of our lives. Every thing should be ad
justed with the world and with our God,
as if we were' about to leave the one to
appear before the other- The week is,
indeed, one of the regular divisions of life,
and when it closes it should not lie with
out its moral. From the end of one week
to the end of another, the inind can eari
ly streach onward, to the close of exist
ance. It can- sweep down the stream of
time to the distant period when it will be
entirely beyond human power to regulate
human affairs. When for the mercies
of the week we are thankful, aud when
our past months and years come up in
succession before us—we see the vanity
of our youthful days, and vexations of
manhood, and tremble at the approaching
winter of age. It is then we should with
draw from the business and cares of the
world, aud give a thought to our end, and
to what we are to be hereafter.
About one million of dollars lias been
paid into the Treasury of Pennsylvania
during the fiscial year ending on the Ist
instant, on account of the tolls received
during that period from the Canals and
Railroads owned hy that Commonwealth.
Had not the disaster occurred, which
swept away some thirty miles of Canal on
the Juniata in June last, the tolls would
probably have amounted to a million and
a half during the year. We see hy annun
ciations in the interior papers that the
danger is at length repaired, and that the
entire line of Canals from the Susquehan
na to the Ohio would he again navigable
during the present week. Should the sea
son, therefore, he not unusually cold, there
is yet a prospect of some weeks of active
business before the navigation is closed hy
ice. In this respect the works of Pennsyl
vania enjoy a positive and important ad
vantage over those of New- York, the
more Southern location of the former
having the effect of opentng them from a
month to six weeks earlier in the Spring
and to keeping them open longer hy the
same period, in the Fall.—[Balt. Ameri

Benevolence. ‘Not for ourselves but
for others,’ is the grand law of nature,
inscribed by the hand of God on every
part of creation. Not for itself, hut for
others, does the sun dispense its beams:
not for themselves, but for others, do the
clouds distil; and does the earth unlock
her treasures; not for themselves but for
others, do the trees produce their fruits,
or flowers diffuse their fragrance, and dis
play their hues. So not for himself but
others, are the blessings of heaven bestow
ed on man. He who lives only to him
self, and consumes the bounty of heaven
upon his lust, or consecrates it to the
demon of avarice, is a barren rock in a
fertile plain—he is a thorny bramble in a
fruitful vineyard—he is the very Arabian
desert of the moral world.
There is not a man, or a thing now a
live, but has tools to work with. The
basest of created animalcules, the spider
itself, has a spinning jenny and a WUrping
mill and power loom within its head, the
stupidest of oysters has a Papin’s digester,
with a stone and lime house to hold it in.
How unnatural then, is idleness!

On looking over the report of Iff.

of October 14th, 1838,1 find that daring
his exploration of Morgan County, lie
discovered, ‘‘for the first time in Georgia,
the substance technically termed griHfm.

and England, as an application to lihjjs,
and considered far superior to the fidse
and marl. It is now used |n
New Jersey, Maryland, nod Virginia, as
an effectual renovater of worn out lands.
The locality is on the plantation of Mr. J.
McNeil. It has not been discovered as
yet very extensively; but wherever need, it
has been proved to be the beet mineral
manure ever applied to exhausted lands;
Even the first year after its ' application
evinces its superiority over other HMMNO;
the vegetation sustains the drought bet

with putrient manure, its fertilizing prop

The Biter Bitten. —A man, in the
dress of a workman, was lately walking
in the streets of Berlin with a packet in
his hand, sealed with five seals, and in
scribed with an address, and a note that
it contained one hundred tbalera in trea
sury hills. As the bearer appeared to be
at a loss, he was accosted by a passenger,
who asked him what he was looking for.
The simple countryman placed the pack
et in the enquirer’s hands, and requested
that he would read the address. The
reply was made as with an agreeable sur
prise. “Why! this letter is for me: I
have been expecting it for a long while!”
The messenger upon this demanded tm
thalers for the carriage of tho packet,
which was readily paid, with a liberal
addition to the porter.—The new posses
sor of the packet hastened to an obscure
corner to examine his prize, but, on
breaking the seals, found nothing but a
few sheets of blank paper, on which was
written “ Done!”
