A COUCLI* OF STRAY LEAVES. LBAF THB FIRST. Six Months after Marriage, “Well my denr will you go In tlie pnrty to-niglil ? you know »e liuve a very poliie invitation.” • Why, my love, just as you please, you know I nlwnys wish to consult your pleasure.” ‘■Well, then, Harriet, suppose wo go—that is if you are perfectly willing ; now don’t say yes, be cause 1 du, for you know that whore you are, there nm I perfectly happy.” “Why my love, you will enjoy yourself there, 1 ntnsure; and wherever you ure happy I shnll be, of course. What dress shall I wear, William !— my while satin with blonds, or my ashes of roses, or my levnmine, or my white luce ; you nlwuys know bolter lliun I about such things.” "Harriet, dearest, you look beautiful in any thing, now lake your own choice to-nighi,—but I think you look very well in tho while saiin.” "There William dear, I know you would tltiuk jusl ns 1 did—tilt! how Itnppy we shall be to-night, u> d you must promise not lo leave me there for a moment; for 1 shall be so sud if you do.” “(.save thee, dearest, leave tliee! “No! by yonder star I swear!” "Oil William, (lenrest William, how beautiful that is,you are always learning poetry to make me liuppy.” "And llnrriet, my own prized Harriet, would I not do any thing in the world lo give you one mo ment’s happiness T Oh, you are so very, very dear to me, it seems at times almost too much happi ness to lust.” "Oh, do not say so, denr William, it will last— and we shall be many years happier than this, for will not our love be stronger and deeper every year; and now dearest, I will be back in one mo ment, and then we will go.” "There, site has gone, bright and beautiful cren- lure she is—Oh how miserable 1 should be without her—she has indeed aspellsroimd my heart, and one that never, no, never can be broken ; she is the only slur of my existence, guiding me on lo virtue and happiness, and can 1 over love her less than now ?—can I ever desert her; can 1 ever speak of her in less than terms of praise 1 Oh. it is impossible—she is too good, too pure; happy, happy man that I am.” LEAF THE SBCONn. Six years after Marriage. "My dear, I will thumt you to pass the sugar, youdid’t give me but one lump.” "Well, Mr. Snooks, I declare you use sugnr enough in your lea lo sweeten a hogshead of vine gar : James, keep your fingers out of the sweet meats; Susan, keep still bawling; I declare it is enough to set one distracted—there take that, you little wretch.” "Why, Harriet, what lias the child done 1 I de clare you are rather loo hasty.” "I wish Mr; Snooks you’d mind your own busi ness ; you’re always meddling with what don’t concern you.” 11 Well, Mrs. Snooks, I want to know who hns o belter right than I have—you are always fretting and fuming about nothing.” “Pa, Thomas is tearing your newspaper all up." “ Thomas, come here—how dare you abuse— I'll teach you to tear it again—there, Sir, how does that feel—now go to bed !” "Mr. Snooks, you horrid wretch—how can you strike a child of mine in that way—come here Thomas, poor fellow—did ho get hurl—never mind —here’s a lump of sugnr; there, that’s a good boy.” “Mrs. Snooks, let me tell you, you will spoil the children ; you know I never interfere when you see fit to punish a child—its strange that a woman can never do any thing right.” “Can never do any thing! faillt, Mr. Snooks, if nobody did any thing right in the house but your- self, what would become of us ?” "Let me tell you ma’am, this is improper Ian. gimge (or you, ma’am, and I’ll hear it no longer, You’re ns snappish and surly ns-a-a sho-dog, and if there’s a divorce in the IsnJ, I’ll have it—you would wear uut the patience of Job/' “Oh dear, how mad the poor man is ; well, good night my dear—pleasant dreams." “There she’s gone ! Thank Heaven. I’m nlono once more. Oh, unhappy man tlmt I am to be chained down to such a creature—she is the very essence of all ugliness—cross and peevish; O that I could once more be a bachellor; curse the day and hour that I ever saw the likeness of her. Yes, I will gel a divorce; leant live with tier any longer; it is utterly impossible.” [FROM NAR8TON ; OR THE MEMOIRS OF A STATESMAN.] POLAND AND NAPOLEON. • This man was sent for a great purposo of jus tice, and he was gifted with the faculties for its ex ecution. An act of itnperiul guilt hud been com mitted, of which Europe was to be purged by pen alty alone. The fall of Poland was lo be made a moral to the governments of the earth ; and Na poleon was lobe the fiery brand that was to im print the sentence upon the foreheads of tile great criminals. It is in contemplations like these, that the spirit of history ministers to the wisdom oi mankind. Whatever may bo the retribution for individuals beyond the grave, justice on nations must he done in this world ; and here it will be done. The partition of Poland was the most compre hensive and audacious crime of the modern world. It was u deliberate insult, ut once to the laws of na. lions and to the majesty of the great Disposer of nations. And never fell vengeance tuore imme diate, more distinct, or more characteristic. The capital of Austria twice entered over tho bodies of its gallant soldiery ; Russia ravaged and Moscow burnt; the Prussian army extinguished by tho massacre of Jena, and Prussia in a day fettered for years—were the summary and solemn retribution of Heaven. Hut, witen the penally wus paid, the fate of the executioner instantly followed. Guilt A TABLE OF CELESTIAL INFLUENCES. POINTING UUT THE GOOD ANU EVIL DAYS IN JANUA RY. 1640. This table is deducedfrom the lunar and mutual as pects. “Thera Is a time tu reap and a time lo sow.” Wednesday 1.—Avoid asking favors, visit not the great, go not to law, do not travel, sign no pa pers or deeds, commence no business of import.

Night good for venders of books and neios. Sunday 5.—Rise with the sun, journey, visit farmers and daughters, court and marry. Put on new clothing. Monday 0.—Evil, k^cp your pockets and lips close, do all business with care. Faithless freinds are about, and of many words, beware of hypocrit ical funalica, neither send messengers, or write letters on matters of import, but go yourself. Men in authority will lake, and hand out bribes, us did a certain company of lumber dealers on the 4 th of May 1641. Tuesday 7.—Do not any huainess you wish suc cess to attend this day. write not on business but go thyself. Travel not far, the day is strangely evil. Wednesday 8.—Extremely evil for all commer cial ulfairs, avoid pecuniary transactions, another day to do business in person, avoid travelling, trust not friends. Thursday 0.—Another day not lo be trusted, quarrel not with the fair, neither marry, see to bu siness with care, keep temperate. Friday 10.—Avoid quarrels, dispute not wo- man’s rights, avoid surgeons, butchers, and fire men. do thy business mildly.

Tuesday 14.—Travel not, write not, beware how you sport with women ; keep temperate, see to the carrying of thioe own ietlers, do business very cautiously. Wednesday 15.—Unforlunato for all specula tions, dealers in coal, wood and alono sulfur, credit not. Thursday 10—A day not good, night best, deal with venders of news and literature. Friday 17.—Choose this day for pleasure and fun,and lo discourse thy love. A fair tradingday you may expect. Saturday 18.—A good day for all affairs in the way of trading, yet you must avoid quarrels. La dies elope !!! Sunday 19.—Moon is void of course ; so help yourselves. Monday 20.—A very unfortunate ; rest in qui et if thou may. Thursday 21.—Evil; neither travel or write ; muy thou bo nt pence. Wednesday 22.—The moon again void. Thursday 23—Unfortunate ; no one should trust this day; many will be ruined !!! Friday 24 - —Evil reigns ; do business carefully, speculate not. Saturday 25.—Extremely accidental; pleasure parties suffer. After sunset is good lo write, traf- lie, and seek your lady laves. Sunday 20.—Travel, write, visit the lady of thy choice, and call on your literary friends. Monday 27.— Moon void till midnight, then evil and thefts ! Tuesday 28.—Barter not, write not, See to do. mestic affairs. Toe day is strangely evil. Wednesday 29.— What is done this day will be attended with disappointment and strife. Thursday 30—Bogin no enterprise this day. That which thou wish tosucceed, postpone. Strange intrigues. Evil will certainly rule. Friday 81.—Is not fortunate, yet some people may make money. Hut all persons should specu late cau'iously. N. B. From the 28th to tho 31st of this month, botli Saturn and Mars are strong. Hire and rent houses.— Best duys lo hire or rent houses, are the 4th. 5ih 12th, 13th, 18th, and 26lh. These days are also good to deal with aged men and women, yes, and with stone and marble cut ters. Coal dealers and lumbermen do a good bu siness. Tho farmer, gardener, and those that wurk by the Moon smile. ,. Counsels fur tiik Young.—Never lie cast down hy trifles. If u spider breaks his thread twenty limes, twenty limes will ho mend it again. Make up your minds to do a thing, and you will do it. “He who nobly dares, does nobly.** Fear not, if n trouble comes upon you ; keep up your spirits, thou^li the tiny may be u ilark one. “Troubles never stop forever, Thodnrkent day will pass away!” If the sun is going down, look lo tlie stars; if the earth is chirk, keep your eyes on heaven ! With God’s presence and God’s promises, a man or q child muy be cheerful. “Never despair when foa;*« in the sir ! A sunshiny morning wiilcoina without warning.” Mind wlmt you run after! Never be content wiih a bubble that will burst, or u firewood that will end in smoke arid darkness. Gel that which you can keep, and which is worth keeping. “Something sterling that will stay When gold and silver fly away.'* Fighl hard against hasty temper. Anger will come, but resist it strongly, A spark may set a house on fire. A fit of passion may give you cause lo mourn all the days of your life. Never re venge no injury. “lie that revenges knows no rest; Tlie meek possess u peaceful breast.” If you have an emeiny. act kindly to him and rnnke him your 'rifiitd. You may not win him ov- *-r at ooce, but try ugain. Let one kindness be fol lowed by another, till you have compassed your '•nd. By little and little, grent'Itiogs are comple ted. “Water falling day hv day, Wears the hatdest rock away.” And so repented kindness will soften n heart of stone. Whatever you do. do it willingly. A bov that is whipped to school, never leurns his lesson well. A man that is compelled to work, cares not how badly it is performed. He that pulls off his coat cheerfully, strips up his sleeves in earnest, and siligs while he works, is '.he man for me. “A cheerful spirit gets on quick; A gruiiiblar in the mud will stick.*’ Evil thoughts are worse enemies limn lions nnd tigers, tor we can keep out of the way of wild beasts, bin bad thoughts win their way every where. The cup tliut is full will hold no more ; keep your heads mid henris full of good thoughts, that bad thoughts may find no room to enter. “Re on your guard, und strive and pray, To drive evil thoughts away.” A Word to Mothers.—Each mother is a histo nan. She writes nut the history of empires or na lions on paper, but site writes her own history on tho imperishsblo mind of her child. That tablet and that history will remain indelible when time shall be no more. That history each mother will meet again, and rend with oternnl joy or uiiultera. ble woe in the far ages of elerni-y. This thought should weigh on tho mind of every mother, and tender her deeply circumspect and prayerful, nnd faithful in her solemn work of training up her chil dren for heaven and immortality. The minds ol children tiro very susceptible ami easily impressed. A ward, a look, tt frown may engrave an itnpres sion on the mind of it child which no lapse of time can efface or vs ash out. You walk along the seashore when the tide is out, and you form char acters, or write words or names in tho smooth white sand, which lies spread out so clear and beau tiful al your feet, according us your fancy may dictate, but the returning title shall in a few hours wusli out and eflitce forever all tlmt you Itavo writ ten. Not so the liitps and characters of truth, or error, which your conduct imprints on tho mind oi your child. Ttiere you write impressions for the everlasting good or ill of your child, which neithe the floods nor the storms of enrtli can wash out nor death’s cold fingers can craso, nor the slo moving ages of eternity obliterate. How careful then, should euch mother he of herself m her treat mem of Iter child. How prayerful, and how seri ous, und how earnest to write the eternal truths of God on his mind—those truths which shall be his guide unci teacher u lien her voice shall be aileut in death, and her lips no longer move in prayer in his behalf, in commending iter dear child lo her co venant God.

If he ho a man of weak and inferior intellect Heaven help the lady ! say I for fools love the possession of authority, and wilt tyrannize when they can—whenever they dare,— Hall's Sketches of Irish Character. i The Eve —For the most part when two per- had punished guilt, and justice was la be alike done [ sons are attending to or addressing eoch oih-*r. the upon all.

[continued.] To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives: Tlie tmdursigned Commissioners, uppoinlod by His Excellency, the Governor, ill pursuance of a resolution of the lust Legislature," lo investigate lolly the claim* of Peter Trezevanl, R. M.D. J. Elliott, nod MiUedgo Gulpltin, ill heltulf of himself and others," nud -‘to report lo tho next session of the Legislature the facts connected with the same, tlie liability of tlie State to pny litem, or any part of t! tetn, anil whether interest is tillowablo on tho same,” tSs., tSso., respectfully report: That we have made n thorough and mioule ex amination of all those records in the dillere.it de partments of the Stale, which, Irotn their general character, it was supposed might throw light upon tho vurious subjects committed lo our charge. We have carefully .tearelied tlie Journals of both branches of the Legislature, from its urguiiizulion, and have taken from ihotn copies of all tlioso pro. ceilings in relation lo these several claims, which are of any material importance in elucidating their history and their respective merits. These claims having survived most of those who were cotempo. rnrics of'.ho period in which they originated, our investigations have necessarily for (no most, been confini-d lo the durumunlary evidence which could he found for and against their validity. We have, however, in lomii instances, called for and received explunutinns front those who liuve hitherto been fa miliar with them, as they have nt successive peri ods been presented lo the Legislature ; indeed, our enquiries liuve been prosecuted where there wss the remotest probability that truth cnuld be elicited — any information attained that would enable us to come to those conclusions by which substantial justice muy bo rendered alike to the State, and to those who hold these demands against her. The resolution constituting this Commission, requires that we report the fuels connected with the subjects of our investigations. That there may be no mis conception arising from any abrevialions that we might make, wo have deemed it advisable lo sub mit for your consideration, the numerous docu ments tlmt have been discovered, or such parts as have any material hearing upon the cases lo which they refer, as well as the proceedings in relation lo them of tlie various Legislatures who have acted upon them. With these preliminary remarks, we proceed to the examination of the first cusu named in the resolution. Greek Magic-—The history of these nmuse. moms runs back into the remotest ages of antiqni. tv. Herodotus notices the introduction from Egypt of puppets moved by springs. The sitting upon a wheel during its rapid revolutions, is told on the authority of Xenophon, and may bo compared with the famous deception uf sitting upon nothing in China. The emission of fire from the mouth— one of the commonest tricks of our country fairs —is alsa ascribed lo the women, by Alheimeus. I'ho thimble riggers of Epsom are likewise clear, ly anticipated. Some of the performances of the Greek jugglers were sufficiently ingenius; hut classical antiquity odors no feats to contest the crown with tha modern Indian brisket fraud, or the sudden growth and blossoming of the plant in tlie hand of the same performers. We have frequent, ly listened to descriptions of these tricks frum an intelligent apeefutor, who confessed his inability tu ufier the slightest clue lo the mystery. The won- derfulnessof the exhibition is greatly increased by the fact of its taking pluce in private bouses, to which the jugglers arc invited, and where oil pos sibility of collusion is retnovod. Yet the woman who, hnving been pluced under the basket, has beet* heard to groan, and gradually faint away bcnenih the repented slabs of her accomplices, in a few- minutes seen to wulk in at the door, perfectly un Injured, while the basket, being lifted, is found to be empty, and this is donu in the presence oi twen ty or thirl) of the most acute and watchful officers and scholars of Europe. The same muy he said of the flowering of the plant, which seems to be the poetry of juggling.—Frazer's Magazine. THE CLAIM OF PETER TSRZEVANT. Mr. Trezevanl Ims in his possession, live audit, ed certificates purporting to Imvn boon issued hy the State of Georgia, the 9il> of December, 1794. amounting together lo the sum uf £5 090, for which he claims payment, with the interest which bus accrued upon them from the lime they were issued. Tile consideration for which they were given, it isallcdgetl, is for goods sold to tlie State of Georgia, in 1777, hy Robert Farqmiur, of tlie Stale uf Smith Carolina.

His re-establishment of Poland would have keen an act of grandeur. It would have established a new character for tho whole Revolution, It would have shown that the new spirit which had gnno forth summoning tho world lo regeneration, was it self regeneration ; that it wa, not a tempter, but a restorer; tliut all conquosi wus not selfish, nnd all protestation not meant to deceive. If Napoleon had given Po'and a diadem, end placed it on the brow of Kosciusko, he would, in Dial act, have placed an his own brow a diadem which no chance of the field could have plucked away ; an imper ishable and dazzling unawer lo all the calumnies of his age, and all the doubtaof posterity; He might even have built, in the reatoration of the fnlling kingdom, a citadel for Ilia own aecurity in all (tie caauatilies of empire ; but, in all eventa, he would have fixed in the political heaven a atar which, to the laat recollection of mankiod, would have thrown light on hia lepulchre, and borne Li* name. and most immediate index of the soul.

In his proceeding uud certificates na uclt." We now call your attomion lo the proceedings of the difioretit Legislatures to whom this claim was presented. November 25th, 1789. Tho ordpr of llto day being called for, the House proceeded to take up the report of tho committee on the petitions which were ordered to lie on the table, and the same being received, were as fol low* t On the petition of Alexander Chisolm,of Charles, ton in the Stale of Booth Carolina, merchant, one of the executort of th* last will and tealamenl of Roban Farquhar, aatting forth that .lb* mid Par. quliar, in hia lifa-iima, vis: on or shoot tho Slat of October, 1777, told and dalitorad to Mosara. Thotnaa Stoue and Edward Daria. eommMooera, l'»r that purpose duly appointed by the Slate of Georgia, a certain quantity of gooda to (ha raltte of £03 005 of the current money of the Stale of South Carolina. It appears by a resolution of the Honorable, the Executive, dated the 31st day of October, 1777. dtut tho said Thomas Stone end Edward Daria were empowered lo purchase from Capt. Farquhar, a quantity of goods, nud (hat they were authorized tb pay in Continental money, on or before the first day uf December following; and if the same should not arrive by tiiat time, they were authoriz. ed to pay for said gooda in indigo, at the Carolina prices, nnd that they were empowered to draw on the Treasury, for u sum sufficient lo discharge lit* same. It also further appears to your committee, that the goods were received by the said atone and Da vis ; but how they were applied, your committee, from the distance of tho time that has intervened, can receive no information—but that the Honors, ble Executive paid to Stone and Davis, Continental Loan Office Certificates, fur the special and par ticular purpose of discharging the said Farquhar’a demand. Tlmt as ihe same has not been done by the said persons, your committee are of opinion, that the State is by no means accountable, end that the ex ecutors of Farquhar should seek redress in a coart of law against the said Stone, and the representa tives of the said Davis. The committee also re commend that his Excellency, the Governor, de mand of the said Thomas Stone, and the executors of the said Edward Davies, the account and vouch ers of the said goods, as it sppears it grounds a proper charge against tlie Union, for which tba State ought to be credited. And in case (bey do out give such account to his satisfaction, within three months after demand made, that he direct the Attorney General to prosecute.—Journal of ihe House of Representatives, page 126-138.—- [Agreed to hy the House, page 139.] Wednesday, Dec. 11th, 1793. On the petition of Puter Trezevanl, heir at law to Robert Farquhar, nnd attorney in fact to the ex ecutor of said Robert, stating, that tne snid Rob ert Farquhar in his life time, to wit t in the month of October, 1777 sold n quantity of goods to Thumns Stone, and Edward Davis, for the use of the State, nnd praying payment for the same. It appears l>y order of the Executive Council, dated 31st October. 1777, that Thowns Stone nnd Ed. w ard Dnvis, E-qrs, were empowered to purchase a quantity of goods of Capt. Farquhar, for the use of the ut my. und lo pay him in Continel money, at thirty-two shilling, nnd six pence, Carolina cur. rency, per dollar; but if the Continental money should not urrivo on or liefore the first day of De cember then next, they were to pny for the said goods in indigo, at the Carolina prices. The original entry of the said goods in the hand writing of tlie snid Robert Farquhar, corroborated by the evidence uf Arthur Fori, Esq., wito was at tlmt time one of the Honorable, the Council, ptoves the delivery of the goods. The amount thereof, by the said original entry, appears to be sixty-three tnousand six hundred and five pounds, Carolina currency, which depreciated agreenblyto the scale of October, 1777. is 33,513 52-90 dollars and seven eighths, equal in value to £7.580 10>. Id. sterling. It also appears by I lie report of tho committee on petitions, ut November session, 1780, that tlie pxeeutor of Hie said Robert Farquhar did then apply for payment of the nbuvu demand, but the said committee, although it appeared to them that the said goods were delivered to the said Ed ward Davis und Thomas Btotte. for llto use of the said State, yet, as it also appeared tliut the said Thomas Stone uud Edward Duvis had reoeived Continental Loan Offieu certificates to discharge tin.' said debt, they were of opinion tliut llto said executor .should seek bis remedy ngainsl the suid Thomas Slone, nnd executors of Edward Davis; but tho committee did further report, that the At torney General be instructed to prosecute the said Thomas Stone und the executor of Edward Davis, for tlie recovery of tho said loan Ollice certifi cates. Your committee therefore, are of opinion (hat llto suid executor could not with safety commence uu action against the said executor of Davis, and Thomas Stone, becauso the Attorney General was directed lc prosecute them, and if both actions had been pending nt tlie same time, one must have fal len to the ground, whereby the said executor would have risked u total loss of his demand, as the suit of the Stale would have had Ihe prefer, ence to that of nn individual. Neither do your committee conceive that the said commissioners Ituving received the certificates out of tlie Tress, rv, did by any means extinguish the claim of Rob ert Furqulinr against the Stats, becauso the trans action with the said Thomas Stone and Edward Davis, was not in their private, but public capaci- ties: consequently, the Stale is now liable, and ought to pny the snid debt to the petitioner. Tho committee do therefore recommend the fol lowing resolution for the consideration of the Leg* islalure : 2d.
