On seeing Bailey’s Statue of Ere at the Fountain.
Nay—tie no sculptured art—’tie she—'tis she!
The fatal fair, whose bright betraying smile
Robbed man of Paradise, but taught him love!
Oh, more than seraph beauty! Even man
Is bet * a link lower than the Angels
While woman—lovely woman—all divine.
Transcends their glittering hierarchy.—This
Well knew the subtle tempter who, albeit
Himself the semblance of a child of light
Could wear,—yet chose a brighter minister
To lure to the fond ruin. Ah on such
A fare as this, our primal sire might well
Gaze away Eden! Who that hung on lips
I .ike those, and listened to the uttering.
Which made them eloquent, would desire
The presence of angelic visitants.
Or si gh for cherub warbling. ! Who that felt
That soft heart to his, while o’er that neck,
I/ek'd in love's fond embrace, his fingers twined
Like ring-doves nestling round llie tree of life,
Would deem she lured to death ?
Yet, yet she smiles!
Yet o’er her own sweet image hangs enamor'd;
While still, and steadfastly as she, we gaze.
And shaie her rapturous wonder—deeming her
Scarcely less vital than onr*elvcs,und breathless
I Inly from admiration! Heautifu!!
•• The statue that enchants the world'’ no more

The laurel for her son, whose genius bids
Its sweet creation start to life and light,

It was but yesterday that a friend—a

and friend* devoted to him—the summons
came anil he lay upon the bed of death.
But a few short years ago, she to whom
he was wedded placed a bridal ring upon
Itis linger, upon the inside of which he
had a few words privately engraved.
The husband would never permit the
giver to read them, telling her that the
day would come when her wish should

day or two since, when conscious be must

1 saw a little smiling bov stand by the

trout Iter lips one of the songs of Zion. I
saw nitn kneel at her feel, and pmy that
Jesus would bless his dear parents, the
world of mankind, nnd keep him from temp,

books of the classics under his arm, walk
ing alone, hurried in thought, I went into a
Sabbath School, nnd heard him saying to
a little circle that surrounded him, “ Suffer
little children to come unto me in a few
moments afterwards, I went into the sanc
tuary, and heard him reasoning of “ righ
teousness, and temperance, and judgement
to come.”
I looked, and saw the same mother, at
whose feel he had knelt, and from whose
lips he had learned to lisp the name Eman
uel. Her hair was whitened by the frosts
of wiiiicr, Heaven beamed in her eye, glis
tening with a tear; and I thought I saw
in Iter tear the moving of a mother’s heart,

litis Boanegers was firsl'dawning into life,
hearing from her lips the voice of instruc
tion ; and imptiring in child-like simplicity
the way to be good, and I said, “This fs

SINGULAR MARRIAGE.
A widower at Camden who was not
very young, liccnmp smitten with a young
and beautiful girl, and married her. A
short time after, the son of this man by a
former wile, became also in love, not
with a younger person, hut with the moth
er of the father’s new wife, a widow lady
still in the bloom ol lile. Ho offered
himself and soon the young man and the
wulow were united in the bands of mat
rimony, so that in consequence of these
two connections, a father lK-cninc the son-
in-law nf his own son, anti the wife not
only the daughter-in-law of Iter own son-
in-law, but still more the mnther-in-law
of her own daughter ( while thehusband
of the latter is the faihcr-in-law of his
tnollter-in-law, and luthe-in-law to his
own father. Singular confusion may
arisc, if chiltlirn should spring from these
peculiar marriages.
usefulness!
It must lie a grout satisfaction, at the
close of life, to be able to look hark on
the years which arc past; and to feel that
yon have lived, not lor yourselves alone,
but that you have been useful to others.
You ntay be ossured also, that the same
freliug is a source of comfort and happi
ness at any period of life. There is
nothing in this world so good as useful
ness. It binds your fellow creatures to
you, anti you to them; it tends to the im
provement of your own character, ami it
gives you real importance in society.—

EXERCI8E.
Throughout all nature, want of motion
indicates weakness, corruption, inanima
tion and death, Trencb, in his damp pris
on, leaped about like a liott, in his tenet*
of seventy pounds weight, in order to pre*
serve his health ; end an illustrious physi
cian observes: “ I know not which is the
most necessary to the support of the human
frame—food or motion. Were the exerci-
of the whole of the body attended to in
Drresponding degree with that of the
mind, men of great learning would be
more healthy and vigorous—of more gen
eral talents—of more practical knowledge;
more happy in their domestic lives ; more
enterprising and attached to their duties a*
men- In fine, it may with propriety be
said, that the highest refinement of mind,
without improvement of the body, can nev
er present more than half a human being.”
Anger, like powder, ignite* at the slight
cst spark ; ana bursting from the humnu
bosom, it scorches and withers all kindly
feelings, and hurries the victim on to un
premeditated crime and ruin. It lowers
man in the scale of being and astimulates
him to the brute that perishes. It drowns
the voice of reason, ana degrades manhood;
for it ever brings with it the consciousness
of its own madness. It is unworthy of
man, be the provocation ever so great; for
it cannot restore peace, or undo the wrong
already done. Then whose ever yield* to
its influence degrades his own dignity, nnd
lays himself open to censure, pity, and dis
gust ; and “ exposes his weakest point for
every enemy to strike against.”

PRIDE.
There is no vice to which the human
race are so prone, nnd none so unsuitable
to their nulure und condition, ns pride—-
that self-love which springs up so rapidly
in our souls, and leads os to view our
own qualifications through a magnifying
medium, which gives existence and reali
ty to the phantoms of imagination. . Pride
commences with our lile, grows with our
growth, and spreads through all our con
versation and conduct. She accompan
ies us through every stage, condition and
circumstance of our terrestrial course.
She intermingles with almost every ac
tion we perlorm, and every pursuit in
which we engage. She attends us to tbe
grove, in all the pomp, solemnity, and ex
pense ol funerals. She engraves her os
tentatious inscriptions on the stone that
covers the mouldering body, and wlten
that copy is incorporated with its original
dust, and these wotirls of vanity are no
longer legible, she attempts by escutch
eons, and pedigrees, and genealogical
legends, to perpetuate the name which
wisdom had perhaps consigned to; obliv
ion. This is mote or less Tbe foible, this
tbe deformity, this tbe deep-rooted vice
of all mankind. Pride appears in tbe
cottage as well as tbe palace; she sits on
tbe workman’s bench as well as on the , .
monarch’s throne; she struts driving a totes for some of tu principal bones,
flock of sheep as welt as in marching at which were wanting, made to assume a

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
At a recent public meeting in England,
Lord Ashley said ol collon as an article
of clothing:—
“It is much more wholesome to wear
than uny thing else; and I will tell you
another thing, the whole of the army will
shortly be clothed with itou that account.
They were dependent on a single coun-
try—that of America—for their supply of
this article; and just let them see how
dependent they really were in this res
pect. In 1816, the quantity of cotton
wool imported into this country amounted
only to 86,000,000 tbs; and at the pres
ent lime it hud increased to 640,000,000.
Now they were dependent on a single
natioii for the supply of that commodity,
and next to the calamity of an inadequate
supply of corn, would be that of an inade
quate supply of cotton wool; for upwards of
a million nfpersonswould be thrown out of
employment without the means of obtain
ing bread. It bad often times happened
that in tbe warehouses of this country
they bad not a supply sufficient for the
consumption of a single month.”

CULTIVATING FLOWERS.
It bas been well observed, “If the ad
miration of the beautiful things of nature
has a tendency to soften nnd refine the
character, the culture of them has a still
more powerful and enduring influence.”
It takes the form of an affection. The
seed which wc have sown, the bud which
we have nursed, the tree of oar planting,
are to us as living, loving friends. In
proportion to the care which we bestow
upon them, is the warmth of our regard.
They are also gentle and persuasive
teachers of His goodness, who causelh
the rain to descend upon the good and
the bud, who forgets not the tender vine
amid the snows and ice of winter, Imt
hringelh forth the root long hiden from
the eye of man, with vernal splendor or
autumnal foliage. The proximity of flow
ers to the dwelling, anti the core and cul
ture necessary to their preservation, has
been pronounced by meaicnl tnen as sal
utary to health, as it certainly does pro
mote cheerfulness of spirits, and its con
comitant good humor and affection among
the household. Were 1 cnlled on to
select a happy family, I should certainly
expect to find it in that house, surround
ed by well cultivated flowers, nod a well
stocked garden. Contentment, independ
ence and cheerfulness, always associate
themselves in the mind of the traveller,
as being dwellers amid suclt beautiful
scenes. But on the contrary, tbe stian-
ger. on seeing a slattern house yard and
without any of these little necessaries,
Itoth to comfort and taste, is impressed
immediately with the belief, that here
dwells eitlier ignorance, or indolence, or
intemperance. If lie would favorably im
press the passing stranger—it we covet
health and happiness “at home”—let nil
cultivate flowers. The theory is fully
proven, that health is promoted by hor*
ticollure. By the placid countenances of

A LESSON TO GEORGIA
“ With a population- exceeding that of
Massachusetts by fifteen thousand, North
Carolina is poor to a proverb; and can
it he wondered at, while her own sea-
K rts and marts of trade are entirely over-
tkecl and neglected; where those who
live upon the taxes raised from her im
poverished citizens, instead of turning
their minds towards the improvement of
the State, as a Slate, lend their whole in
fluence to enrich her neighbors of Virgin
ia and South Carolina, at the expense of
her trade nnd commerce!”
The above paragraph is from n most
admirable article which we find in the
Wilmington (N. C-) Commercial, in which
the writer is endeavoring to call the at
tention of the people of that State to the
impolicy nf so directing their great lines
of internal improvement as to make them
tributary to their neighbors. Alluding to
Massachusetts, he asks i
“What has made her what she is?—
Her soil and climate arc inferior to that
of North Carolina. It is the industry of
her citizens and their union in directing
their trade to one point—Boston—and
thereby creating wealth and capital a-
mong her own citizens, that has tended so
powerfully to build her up.”
Again he adds:
“Look at the small Stale of South
garden for the eye of the community.— ^ w<j m w on #

i we have before no-
liced ns having commended itself to the
very favorable consideration or the naval
committee of the House of Representative*
in the last Congress, lias again been made
the subject of a report from the seme com
mittee of the present Ilobse, urging upon
Congress such action as may be proper to
apply the apparatus to the important pur-
pose for which it i* designed. The inven
tion appears, from the report, to hove stood
the leal of the most rigorous professional
experiment. The cost of it is very trifling,
and it is declared by the very highest au
thority, both scientific and’ practical, to be
entirely efficient in ire operation.
Such an invention, at such a time as the
present, well deserves the attention of our
national legislature. We hope that before
the session closes, provision may be made
to test its vhlue more fully, it farther test
be needed, and to npplv it hereafter to the
defence of our principal harbors, if any con
tingency shall uccur to make such applica

of precaution.—ff'ashinglon Union.

New York, April 6,1848.
One of the leading arguments urged by
the friends of the higbtteriff of 184S, was
that it would keep the specie in the coun^
try, and strengthen the banks, &c. This
plea they uttered on the passage of the hmr,
and repeated it with incessant clamor da
ring the Inst presidential campaign. The
fallacy of the argument'was then pointed
out to them. They were told, specie, like
any other commodity of trade, would find
itslevel; that whenever a demand grew
up for it in Europe, it would leave the coun
try, tariff or no tariff. The law still exists
in all it* uneottal deformity, and yet we
find specie has recently.commenced sliding
from the country with extraordinary rapid
ity. Within the brief period of two weeks
Carolina, with a population of nearly 1G0.-
000 less than that nf our State—she has
her Charleston, and her legislators direct
all their energies to its improvement.—
See the consequence—tbe great wealth
concentrated there—by which she is en
abled to prosecute her improvements.
But what has North Carolina to boast
of?—Raleigh bas heh Petersburg avd
Richmond I! And the balance of the State
has the lajctt to pay.
Are not these words full of instruction
to the people of Georgia l A simple
change of names, and the picture will suit
this State as well as North Carolina.—
True, we have not yet become a bve
word, but it cannot be denied that the
labor of the Slate docs not enrich our own
people ns much os it ought. Tbe wan
ing prosperity of some of our cities proves
that they are no longer the centre of trade

Cotton, the great staple against which
foreign bills of exchange ere drawn to an
enormousextent, promises to prove deficient
in amount. All accounts concur in fixing
the deficiency of the crop of 1845, now go
ing forward, at not less than SIX),KOI) bale*.
Estimating each bale at $30, would give a
deficiency in value equal to $9,000,600.—
Supposing this amount to be neutralised by
an advance in value to $4,000,000 on the
current prices compared with last year,
still a hiatus of $5,000,000 would exist.—
This amount, or clement in the operations
of exchange, or in supplying the means of
paying for purchases of goods abroad pre
dicated upon the belief that that there
would be no falling off in the yield of cot
ton, compared with the preceding year,
must be supplied by other mean*, nndlkat
is specie.
The importation of goods has been nag-
tncnicd by the expansion of the ban Is
scattered through the country. It is im
material how high it may.be short of prohi
bition, the expansion of the paper system
never fails to encourage overtrading. * Ma
ny persons who were swept down by the
paper revulsion of 1836 and 1837, having
passed through the bankrupt law, are igris
among the active business men of the com-
try, endeavoring to retrieve their fortunes.
All this is just and laudable. But when
bank expansions encourage free importa
tions, the importers are anxious to artt to
country customers, till the whole country
becomes involved in overtrading.
It is highly probable that, in fmm two
to three months, from two to three million*
of dollars of specie will be exported from
this country to Europe, this will necessa
rily embarrass our banks, to some extenr,
who will dislike to call upon their cuetonfc-
ers for collections, if they can ovoid it, as
many who have extender! their business

The result will be—and I wish yonr rea
