CHARACTER:
A LECTURE TO TOUIG MEM,
Delivered January SO, 1850, In the Ves
try-street M E Church New York City, by
Rev. Davis W. Clabk, A. M., [Methodist.}
Psov. XXiv , 3.—“ Through wisdom is a house
builded ; and by understanding it is established?’
It is a maxim sanctioned by the nse of ages,
that “every man is the architect of his own
fortune?’ External circumstances, chance,
may have much to do in giving a bias to the
character and a turn to the life ; but it is equal
ly true, that each individual, with his own
hand, trace the great outlines of his character
and fortune. No adventitious circumstance*
can establish the character and reputation
unless there be the appropriate foundation
laid by the individual himself. Io a moral an
intellectual point of view it depends upon tne
individual to determine, whether the edifice e
erects, shall ascend in stately and oeau
proportions; or whether it •hall bo * 1
hovel of intellectual and .’?
“Through wisdom is a house byd e » ?
understanding it is established.
1. In the first place, we remark, that the for-
mation of character is a wbject of vast moment
to the young. _ . . • ..
The ri,h< form* ion ° r trader „ a .object
vutly more important to you, th... the ques
tion which so frequently occupies the mud of
the young— ‘ What business shall I pursue ?
What trade shall I learn f” What profession
shall I engage in ? Or in what place shall I
settle in life ?” We say, the formation of a
right character is of more practical importance
to you at this period ol life, than any or all of
these questions put together. They are only
the incidents of a man’s life, to be controlled
by circumstances; but this will constitute your
Ufa-
Again, you should distinguish between mere
reputation and character. By reputation, we
mean what others think of ns ; by character,
we refer to what we are in ourselves. Repu
tation has reference to the light in which others
view us, our popularity or the reverse; char
acter has reference to our habits, our tastes,
our moral feelings, our entire moral in
tellectual and religious capabilities. To esteem
reputation more than character, then, is ro com
mit an egregious error It is to prefer tinsel,
to gold. It is tn prefer the embossed cover and
the gilt edges of the book, to the solid sense
contained in its pages.
And it is this grasping after reputation—this
thirsting to become notorious, without regard
to character, that has proved the ruin of thou
sands oFour gifted, and once promising young
men. Popularity is often incidental, and a
great reputation is sometimes almost entirely
unaccompanied by those traits of character
that are really estimable or honorable. Repu
tation without character, is like a showy house
upon a bad foundation, which soon tumbles
down. It is very much like some of the splen
did houses in this city, built for show rather
than use—imposing in their exterior, but illy
arranged within, and so frail in their structure
as so on to crumble into ruin.
Think not, however, that we would encour
age a disregard of public opion, or weaken the
desire to maintain an unauUied reputation-
The approbation and esteem of our fellow
men is not only one of the most precious re
wards of virtue in this life, but is also one of
the most powerful, and 1 will add, laudable in
centives tog; hence, the Apostle says—-‘What
soever things are of good report—-if there
be any praise, think of these things ’* One of
the curses denounced upon the wicked is. that
“their name sh II rot;” but it is said. “ Bles
sed shall be the memory of the just,”—“ they
shall be had in everlasting remembrance. ” “A
good name is better than precious ointment.”
We are very far from encouraging any disre
gard of reputation; we only desire that its
loundation be laid in a pure heart and a virtu
ous life. Nay, we will go further than this:
we will say that society has but little to expec'
from the young man who has no regard to pub
lic opinion, no care for a good reputation
The controlling principle of his life, will most
probably be that of ba-e selfishness, manifest
ing i self either in grovelling sensuality or
heartless ambition. When the Roman sage be
held (he young Julius indecently expo
sing himself in the streets of Rome, he ex
claimed—“ Alas for my country ! she can ex
pect only evil from a young inau so regardie.*s
of public opinion.” And a higher than hu
man wisdom has declared of suf’ll as cast away
the restraining influences of a v riuous semi
ment—“ Their root shall be as rottenness, and
their bloosom -hall go up as dust ’’
How important, then, is the formation of
character upon the solid and durable fouuda
lion of a well-cultivated mind and a well-regu
lated heart! To this end, are all the exhibi
tions of the divine perfections of the character
of God in bis works and word—that we might
admire and imitate the divine model To this
end u i. the revelation of divine truth and the
gift of >e Holy Spirit—that the character of
man might be moulded iu wisdow and virtue—
that he might be established in wisdom, purity
and truth, and thus enjoy the approbation of
he good on earth and the exalted in heaven.
Let me repeat it, then, that the formation of
a virtuous and upright character, is one of the
most important considerations that can occupy
the mind of those who are just euiering upon
the business of life.
2. In the second place, the conviction should
be deeply wrought in your minds, that your
characters and destinies, under God, are of
yonrown determining.
I have given prominence and distinctness to
thia proposition, because, to depend upon any
thing besides your own well directed and
hraven-a.-sisied efforts, in establishing your
characters, and in paving your way to honor,
usefulness, and gnodness in the world, would
be to commit a great and perhaps fatal error at
the very commencement of your course.
II is true that wealth, honorable parentage,
and the assistance and influence of friends, may
do much for you ; but if yoa lean on these as
your main support, you lean on broken reed*,
amidst the crushed fragments of which, you
will inevitably fall to the earth. The very ad
vantages of which we have spoken, have
proved the ruin of thousands. Flattered and
deceived by the advantage* to which they were
born they have made indulgence and eeae the
main objects of their pursuit. This mistake
has proved fatal— their career has been mark
ed by profligacy and dissipation—and they,
whose circumstances at the opening of life
seemed to give promise of so much, have be
eome a dishonor to their kindred and a curse to
society. Better had it been for thousands,
had they been born in a hovel of poverty ra
ther than in the abodes ol luxury. The fact is,
if 1 see a young man of spirit and enteroriss,
of elevated aims and lofty pursuits, of just
views of the dignity of his nature and the tn>b e
new of his destiny —with a just reliance upon
his God and upon the powers his God has
given him—entering upon life; I augur more
for him—yea, even though the griping hand of
rovetty may now pinch him to tne very soul
augur more for his success, for bis infl .eitce.
for his houur and for his usefulness among
men—l expect more for ’he purity and bles
sedoeaa of his memory, than lean ever expect
from him who relies more upon adventitious
circumstances than upon his own well-direct
ed exertions, more upon his fortune than upon
his God—even though he leans upon inherited
millions. Buch a young man a* i have de
scribed, may not become very rich nor very
learned; be may not attain po>>ts of honor or
gratify the lusts of power,—these are the inci
dents of life ; but that which is really excrlloni
in human character he will attain, that which is
really desirable in human life he will enjoy ; in
the well-established virtues of his own char.c
ter, he is the rich heritor of a priceless bi on,
whose eternal worth the mere worldling can
never know. This unfolding of our inner
nature must, under God, emphatically be a
woik of our own. “Through wisdom is the
house budded”—but the labor of its erection,
in spite of all adventitious circumstances, must
rest upon ourselves.
Look around you upon those who occupy
stations of usefulness and honor tn the com
munity in which you live—not mere “office
holders,” but those who are respected, enjoy
the confidence of society, and have an influ
ence honorably acquired and deservedly main
tamed A moment’s reflection will convince
you, that they have this respect and influence,
not so much by the charsciers which their fa
thers before them sustained— and not so much
by the wealth they inherited, as by their own
tried and approved characters. 1 know we
hear much said about theobs* quiotis deference
to wealth, and I al»o know that there are some
sordid suuh who can place value upon nothing
bm what comes withm the range of dollars
and cents. But still Idu most firmly believe
and 1 should think must meanly of human ua
lure could I nut affirm it—that elevated pur
pose ; noble, manly enterprise; virtuous
atn.s, will secure that respect from sucivy
that hearty and unreserved confidence from
the World, which is never be.-towed simply

JMordo I u ueh wonder at the awake, when I
reflect huw seldom lhe public ere inadu ac
qoainted wi'h the early infirmities of such men,
and the watching, toil, and care that were ex- ■
ercised before their present standard of ex
cellence was attained. The fact is. in the
eclat of the eictorv, we forget the struggles of
lhe battle-field ; in the glory of the ch * l PP , “ l ’’
we forget the fearful contest in which_hts a
rels were won. Human excellence is. much
of it,gained at the expense of self-denial, and
its attainment often costs years o .
watching, and is your choice 7
Now, my young frtend«,wb, y
Are , y °rr ne tce’ttMy be obtained T Are you
w*iXx e to submit to the selMeni.ls-are you
w I"g to undergo the drudgery and toil, ne
cJ.Mry to the enlarging and perfeettng of your
inoral and intellectual nature? Too many
for human nature’—too many,, who de
sire’the prize are unwilling to pay the price at
which it may be purchased. But, what shall
be y or choice? We live in an age and a
country, where we may make of ourselves al
most whatever we will. Are you willing then
that your habitation shonld be fixed io the
squalid hovel of intellectual and moral pover
ty ? O! there is no destitution bo much to be
dreaded by a young man. as destitution of
character; no poverty to be so deeply deplor
ed, as that of the inte'lect and of the heart!
“ Heart merit wanting, mount we near so high,
Our height is but the gibbet of our name,
A celebrated wretch, when I behold.—
When I behold t genius bright and base.
Os towering talents and terrestrial aims,
Methinks, I see, as thrown from her bright sphere,
The glorious fragments of a soul immortal,
With rubbish mixed and glowing in the dust.”
A quaint old writer once said, “ There is no
going from Delhiah’s lap to Abraham’s bosom.’
So are you who are just entering life ; yon
may not expect from the dreary couches of
ease and of self-indulgence to go up and take
the prize. To neglect the race, is to reject the
crown. Why then should you neglect so
weighty, ao serious a concern ? Shall the base
demagogue struggle harder for office than your
for character ? Nay. will you yourselves, toil
harder to erect and beautify the house that is
to be only your temporary dwelling, than to
perfect that spiritual temple—that temple of
thought, of feeling and of character —which is
to be your everlasting habitation? And yet,
remember that that spiritual fabric is going up
ii is receiving new impressions every day—you
character is forming—your destiny is progress
ing. “Every passing hour, every breathing
moment, every act, every feeling, every
thought is contributing something to form that
character by which you are to be weighed in
life, and to be judged in eternity.” Behold
this, then, the most engrossing tiiat can claim
your attention, —an object more worthy of
your exertion, more befitting the dignity of
your nature and its exalted destiny, than even
wealth, or place, 01 office Without this,
though possessed of all beside, you cannot but
be poor« with it, you will be rich, richer than
earthly thrones could ever make you.
4. In the fourth place, you should com
mence the work early in life.
The importance of beg : nning early to give
serious attention to lhe formation of character
is most obvious from the fact that your charac
ter is now forming ; its importance has also
been almost universally acknowledged, but 100
seldom is it deeply and practically felt.
Youth has been often called “the seed time
of life;” and emphatically does the world de
clare—“ Whatsoever a man soweth. that shall
he also reap.” As well may the husbandman
who sows thorns and nettles in his fields, ex
pect to gather a harvest of wheat in Autumn,
as for the vuung man who wastes the season of
youth io idle and frivolous pleasures, among
dissolute companions, or in base and sinful in
dulgencies, expect an honorable and virtuous
manhood, or a quiet and peaceful old age.
But do I hear any among you. exclaim? Let
manhood and old age look out for themselves;
youth is the season of pleasure, and we are de
termined to enjoy it.” Mark that sentiment.
Hast thou not heard it before—uttered with
fearful malediction from the Holv Word ?
• Soul, take thine ease, eat, drink and be mer
ry”—“let us eat and drink for to-morrow we
die.” Thou fool! though thy soul may not
be required of thee “this night,” yet shall thou
reap the bitter fruits ofihy base and grovelling
passion. “Sow to the flesh,” if thou wdt ;
but know, that of the flesh thou shah reap cor
ruption.
But I am aware that sometimes, the good, :he
virtuous, become the apologists for giddiness
in youth. Say they—“Oh, it isonly the
ant flow of youthful enthusiasm and filly,
whose fountain wdl soon be exhausted ; it is
only the sowing of the wild oats, and every one
you know, has to do that.” The sentiment
that lies imbeded there is, that the follies md
indiscretions of youth exert no lasting ii flu
ence upon the character and reputation. But,
my friends no error is more fatal. These ii dis
cretions and follies, if you are guilty of them,
will exert a great influence in forming, not on
ly your character, but also your reputation in
society. The harvest of “wild oats,” that \ou
shall reap, will most likely be proportioned to
the seed you sow. These indiscretions, and
this thoughtlessness are the germs of bad Lab
ile; and bad habits confirmed, are ruin to the
character and to the soul. In vain do yon re
ply, that careless wayward youth sometimes
•'make the smartest men ” This is the excep
tion and not the rule, and a rare exception it
is Probably, not a single exception can be
found that might not be offset by scores of gif
ted and promising young men, that have gone
to ruin—leaving behind them an impoverished
family and a dishonored name.
It is a mistaken notion, then, that the young
will outgrow these and s nfiil habits. No,
my young friends, your habits will grow fas
ter than yourselves. Evil habits formed in
youth can never be subdued but with great
toil and care, and even then will he a source of
danger. Why was that man, who for years had
been endeavoring to establish a reputation for
virtue and piety, so suddenly lured into the
whirlpool of intemperance, or ho cnarnel-houss
of licentiousness why has his sun gone down
at mid day, like the sudden shock of a fsllmg
star ? Behold, here, lhe outbreaking of habits
and passions formed perhaps in early life. De
ceive not yourselves then with lhe vain and
idle hope, that your present practice will not
•ifleet your future course and destiny. To
look for this, is to expect that God will change
or subvert the immutable laws of his moral
government. And, as though there were spe
cial danger of self deception, earnestly and
solemnly are you warned—“ Be not deceived ;
God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sow
eth that shall he also reap.
5. In lhe fifth place, you should wisely con
sider and diligenl'y employ the proper means
for the establishment and perfection of your
character.
Here, I can only hint at a few of the many
thoughts that might appropriately be suggest
ed.
1. And first, form a just idea of what is really
valuable and intrinsically excellent in charac
ter. Is a monument to be erected? The ar
chitect first conceives and then draughts the
design. An error here—either in its propor
tions or in its adaptations—would be fundamen
tai. It would affect the whole work. The
building disproportiened, would lack beauty ;
unadapted, it would lack utility. To few er
rors are the young more liable, than to form a
wrung estimate of what are lhe essential pro
perties of a good character.
2 Again, let your atanda’d of conduct and
>our aim of life, be elevated and commanding
it is an old adage that “ he who aims his arrow
at lhe sun, though he may not hit lhe object, will
shoot higher than he who aims his at the earth ’
So you may not become all you could wish;
you may not reach your ideal, or equal your
model; but you will accomplish more than
though you had started without plan and
without project. It is astonishing bow
much difference this will make in the character
and condition of inen. Fourteen years ago, I
knew two young men who had just entered
an academy. They were nearly equal in age,
and not very different perhaps in natural en
dowments. One of them started with the
steady purpose of getting an education and
entering upon a profession. Steady in his
purpose, he presses onward toward the goal;
that goal has been reached, aud already a good
degree of repu'ation, influence, and wealth,
have crowned his efforts. The other was am
bitious of doing something, but he hardly knew
what—now for an education—then for some
mechanical trade—then, he must be a iner
chant, now a physician, and then a lawyer.
Thus, nearly ten years were frittered away,
and lhe last I knew of him, scarcely any prog
ress had been made in any ueful avocation.
1 have no doubt but what he will die a disap
pointed man—complaining of hie hard for
tune, but blind as to its real cause.
3. Again, arm yourselves with the firm
itew and decision of high and abiding resolu
tion. It is a motto, homely bnt full of prac
tical sense—“ Be sure you’re right, then go
ahead.” Be sure you're right a* to the true
principles of character and conduct—right in
the department of business you will pursue—
and above aH. be sure you’re right in religion,
then go ahead. I have somewhere read of a
reckle*a a»»d dissolute young man, who had
squandered a large patrimony, and now hung
by a single twig over a terrific precipice, down
which he had determined to plunge himself—
just then the idea of retrieving hie fortune
flashed upon his mind—“ I will do it,” said
he: and from that hour, the work was done.
“There is a lion in the way, a lion is in the
tireete.” says the slothful and irresolute voting
unut; while he who is strong in resolution,
rushes by and passes onward to the goal.
4 Again, let your intercourse be with those
cf eatabbshed virtu and excellence of charac
ter. “Evil communications corrupt good
manners'’—anti * a companion of fools shall
be destroyed ; ” but “ he that walketh with
wist* men. shall be wise.” Example’ how
powerful in its influence ! If your associates
are virtuous, intetiigent, pure-minded, and en
terprising, and if you seek association with
them, because of these qualities, you will re
ceive the impress of iheir character, and be
elevated by their intercourse On the contrary,
intimacy with persons of low and profl'gM.e
Character, of filthy conversation and diaeoluie
habits, will almost certainly deprave your own
feelings and corrupt your own habits.
But. do you say. I am poor. 1 have had no
early advantages. I have no influential friends,
and I am consvquen.ly shut out from such
society. Fear not, my young friend; be a
stauger in tbe world, ra her than descend to
intimacy with the grovelling and the dissolute
Be virtuous, diligent, industrious, enterprising
—clothe yourself in garb of modest, unassu
ming worth—feel and practice benevolence ;
and n will find y OU out. and prise vour esteem
and your intercourse.
3. But. once more, upon this point, forget
not your dependence upon God. nor vet vour
rrapombiUty. •• Excspt the Lord build' the
house, they labor m vain mat bntld it.” Re.
ligion has at once, the power to produce, and
the power to support, all that >« truly noble
and virtuous m human cbaraeter. Tne con
temptation ol the chancier of God—embody
ing as il does all that w purs and exalted—caa
not fad to r fine and ennoble the character.
Indeed, rolirion i* t« »he mind of man. what
the philosopher’s stone wa* to the ancient al
chemi>te, the power to transmute its base metal
into pure goki. Preserve then, a profound
respect for religion, and ever remember its
mdwpenaiMeotss to your good.
) 6. Finally, remember that you are forming
I characters for eternity.
The character you lorm you will be likely to
carry, not only through life, but into eternity.
The dispositions and habits you acquire in life,
you will not shuffle off in the hour of death.
“ They are the dying dress of the soul—the
vestments in which it must come forth to meet
the sentence of an impartial Judge.”
Thou that bulkiest, take care as if thou wert
building for eternity. For eternity only shall
witness the full development of thy nature,
measure the extent of thy duration. Ages
shall crowd upon ages—the proudest monu
ments of earthly glory shall crumble into dust
and be forgotten—the unbounded systems of
the universe shall circle in their perpetual rev
olutions—the eternal fires that enlighten them,
may become di r and die away, revive and
brighten again through the long vicissitudes of
eternity ; —but the house thou hast builded on
earth, that living temple of thought and feel
ing, of habit and emotion, shall still retain the
minutest shaping and shading thou mayest
have given to it here! Yes, even when time
shall be no longer, aud duration shall have
passed all thought and all measurement, then
shall tny dwelling stand, as it was left when
death broke in upon thy plans and hurried
thee away.
Let thy character, then, be moulded in wis
dom and virtue—let lhe God of thy fathers be
thy God; so shall he direct thy paths, so shall
he inspire thee with wisdom and understand
ing; and building for eternity, thou shalt shine
forth with the brightness of the firmament,
forever and ever.
WHEN YOU AND I WERE GIRLS.
Our village look* as pretty now,
As’t did in childhood’s hour,
When autumn burden’d bush and bough,
With choicest fruit and flower.
Still stands the hill beyond the mill,
Just where the river whirls—
Adown whose side we used to glide.
When you and I were girls.
Our cottage stands lhe same sweet thing,
So quiet and so calm—
The roses o’er its sides still cling,
And load the gale with balm ;
Its white front hid their leaves amid,
l ike beauty’s brow mid curls—
And everything the past doth bring
When you and I were girls.
The brook, with rustic wood bridge spanned,
Goes babbling on its way.
O’er hidden tracks of sedge and sand,
Like some glad child at play !
Then down eome steep, in noisy leap,
The tiny cat’ract hurls,
Like Hope’s false light, all dazzling bright,
When you and I were girls.
Still stands beyond the village green
The simple house of prayer—
Where villagers on Sabbath e’en
Hold holy meetings there!
In death’s grasp bound, in tombs around,
Which modest daisy pearls,
Sleep forms we lov’d—that breath’d and mov’d
When you and I were girls.
“ I put my trust in God "—A. true Story.
Whilst the terrific Thirty Years’ War was
raging in Germany, many women accompa
nied their husbands, who were fighting for
their country, on their campaigns, believing
that they were safer with the army that at
home, as bands of robbers were prowling
about, who met with no resistance, and who
committed the most actrocious cruelties. Pov
etry aud misery were often then, however, the
lot of the poor women, as they shared all the
dangers and privations of their husband ; and
when these fell in battle, they were compelled,
without means, and without hope, to wander
back to their own country.
Alter one of the many bloody battles that
were fought, the wives of a captain and of a
lieutenant were reduced to this necessity.
Both lost their husbands, and as they had no
longer any support, they were obliged to at
tempt to regain their abandoned homes, and to
seek among their friends and relations, some
alleviation cf their misery. Their husbands
had served under the same colors, were inti
mate friends, and had often requested their
wives, in the event of their falling in battle, to
return home together, and not to seperate on
the journey. Sadly, and with tea s, they com
plied with the wish of their husbands, and the
more readily that they were both from the
same place, and their road was the same.
Scarcely had they accomplished half the jour
ney, when their small supply of money was
exhausted, and they were compelled, as they
proceeded, to ask assistance from charitable
persons, which they generally obtained at the
castles and noblemen’s residences, that were
at no great distance from the road. The cap
tain’s wL'ow was of noble extraction, the
lieutenant’s was lhe daughter of a citizen It
often happened that, in consequence of this,
the first received more abundant alms, and
thus had it in her power to make a greater dis
play. The other, in order to become a parti
cipant in these charities, took upon herself a
double portion of the inconveniences of the
journey—she carried all the luggage, and did
the cooking when they stopped, wile her
companion reposed. As they traveled through
France, one day at noon they perceived a
magnificent chateau before them and made
their way toward it They stopped at the gar
den wall, rested a moment, and then undid
their bundles, for the purpose of changing their
dress While this was being done, the follow
ing dial-gue took place between them :
Captain's widoto.— • Now I put my trust and
hopes in lhe good nobleman to whom this castle
belongs.”
Lieutenant s widow (sighing.)—“l put my
trust in God.”
Captain's widow.— “ And lin the nobleman.
I feel assured that he will give us a good din
ner. and a handsome sum to help us on our
way. As for me, I can, as I used to do, take
my place at the table in the mansion, while
you will e*t with lhe domestics, as you have
been accustomed to do from your youth; and
if you have but enough, you are contented.”
Lieutenant's widow (looking upward.)—“l
put always my trust in Him, and he has not yet
altogether forsaken me.”
Captain's widow.— “lf I were not travelling
with you, it would happen to you often to fare
badly.”
Lieutenant's widow — “ls not that God’s pro
vidence ? Is it not wholly his work, when he
softens your good heart, that it may feel kindly
toward me ?”
Captain's widow. — “If you choose to take
that view of it, you have cause for so doing
What Ido for you, I do cheerfully, and will
continue to do it. (Looking toward the cha
teau: A beautiful and noble building! It
does its possessor honor, and I will wager what
you will that he must be a man of noble senti
inents. I trust to his liberality, and lam sure
that my confidence in him will not go unre
warded.”
The wayfarers had stopped exactly at that
part of the garden wall, where the lord of the
castle had built a small pleasure house, on ac
count of the fine view it commanded. This
he visited, generally, every fine morning, and
was there, when the two widows arrived
had heard, unseen, and in silence, lhe conversa
tion that had taken place between them; and
his pride was hugely flattered, that the Cap
lain’s widow had rested her reliance so trusting
ly upon his liberality. He resolved, upon the
spot, tba: her confidence in him should be re
warded to the full extent of her hopes. As he
found that they were going to enter the cha
teau, he hastened to it, through the garden, and
was ready to receive them, which he did. with
great condescension —showed much compas
sion for their melancholy situation, invited
them to dine, and conducted them to a chamber
on the first floor. Here he left them to their
repose, and went to the kitchen, where he
gave order* that a good dinner should be pre
pared for both, and among other dishes, he or
dered two tarts, in one of which twenty pieces
of gold were to be put, and when they were
ready, he ordered the servant, who was to place
them on lhe table, that he should place the one
with lhe gold before the Captain's widow, and
the other before her companion.
When everything was ready, and the dinner
served up. the nobleman repaired to the room
above, through the floor of which was a hole
according to lhe fashion of that day. through
which he could .-eeand hear what might pass
between his two guests Al first they spoke
but little, for they were both very hungry, and
ate with appetite. Now and then, when a
fresh dish appeared, the Captain’s widow was
delighted, and would ask her companion, in a
tone of raillery, if she had not prophesied tru
ly, as their noble entertainer gave more than
they could possibly have expected. “ And he
assured,” she added, “ that the present he will
make us in money will correspond with thv
entertainment, and we shall not be again un
der lhe necessity of soliciting alms of common
people.”
Al last the two tarts were brought iu. and the
servant, as ordered, placed the one filled
with gold before the Captain’s widow, and left
the room, that he might not be a restraint up
on the conversation of the travelers.
•• And tarts too.” said tbe Captain's widow,
filled with as-.onishment; “ they are my favor
ite dish. It is long since I a e of them, and
how 1 will indemnify myself for the privation.
Long life to our hospitable host.’ ” She en
deavored to cut the tart, but found it hard and
heavy. “ Oh, the vile cook,” she exclaimed,
“ he has at one blow destroyed my pleasure
and my appetite. The tart is villanously bak
ed ; it is as heavy as lead. I could do it better
myself: it ought to be as light as a feather.”
(To lhe Lieutenant's widow :) “ Let me see if
yours is not belter done.” (She took the other
tart and weighed it in her hand )” Oh, yes’
this is light and nice We will exchange
Your stomach can better reconcile itself to such
diet, than mine.” And without waring fur
her companion to reply she exchanged the
tarts, and had eaten a good slice just as the oth
er had opened hers, out of which fell pieces of
gold upon the table.
Lieutenant's widow (astonished.) —“ Good
Heaven 1 what is this? And here is yet
more! ”
Captain's widow— ‘ It is gold, and so much
of it! whence did it come ? Was it iu my
tan ? ”
Lieutenant's widow—" Yes. it was in the Urt
Aud just see, there is still more of it.”
Captain's widow—*' Give it to me. It is all
mine. The precious, generous nobleman, has
intended it as a present to me,” (wishing to
take the dish )
7‘4e Nobleman, (speaking from above :)
“ No. no! The gold belongs to tbe Lieuten
ant’s widow. I had, it is true, intended it for
h r who trusted so confidently in my liberality,
but God has directed otherwise; it is manifest
that the reward should follow the trust reposed
in Him. and I will not counteract bis designs
The gold belongs entirely to the Lieutenant’s
widow.”

SAVANNAH, April 3— Cotton.— Arrived since
the 26th tilt., 3,173 bales Upland and 386 do Sea
Islands. (1,348 from Augusta, 1,225 per Railroad,
600 from Darien, and 4 per wagons.) The exports
for the same period have been 5.605 bales Upland,
and 179 do. Sea Island, viz: to Liverpool 2,402 bales
Upland and 175 do Sea Island ; to New York 2,024
bales Upland 4 do Sea Island ; to Philadelphia 757
bales Upland—leaving on hand and on shipboard not
cleared, a slock of 42,839 bales Upland and 3.298 do
Sea Island, against 35,902 bales Upland and 2,025
do Sea Islands at same time last year.
Since the close of our last weekly report, there has
been no particular movement of importance. There
has been a fair inquiry, but holders have offered their
stockv so sparingly, that we have had the smallest
week’s operations of any since the season opened last
fail. The transactions Lr the week amount to but
1,248 bale.*, viz: on Wednesday 112; Thursday 523;
Friday 374, and Monday 239 bales. There were no
sales reported either on Saturday or yesterday.
On comparing our quotations with those of last
week we find that all quali ies have advanced about
nn |c. There has been so little fair cotton offering
that our quotation (or that quality is nominal. The
market closes firm. We quote : Ordinary 10{ all;
middling to good middling, 11} a Iff; middling fair
11{ a— ; fair, —a 12.
The sales of the week amount to 1,248 bales at lhe
following particulars: 2 nt 101; 51 nt lOj; 289 at 11;
52 at llj; 128 ut Ilf: 116 ut Ilf; 371 at llj; 113
at Ilf, and 126 at Ilf cts.
iSea Islands. — The only sales reported were 179
bales al 21 and 3at 24 cts. The inquiry is very li
mited, and prices are slowly declining.
Rice.— The transactions are at about the same rates
as those of last week, the particulars « f which are as
follows, amounting to 1,049 tierces, viz: 25at2f; 50
st 2|; 17 nt 2 13 16 ; 50 at 2j; 707 at 3, and 200 at
3 1-16 per 100 lbs. Exports this week 789 tierces.
Flour. — The only sale reported was a lot of Phila
delphia on the wharf, at 35.75.
Groceries. — We hear of no important sales from
first hands this week. The general trade to country
merchants bas been fair. 20 bbls. Monongahela
Whiskey sold at 65 cents.
Hay. — 2GO bundles Northern sold in lots at 87} a
90 cts. per 100 lbs
Salt.— An entire cargo of 3,500 sacks of Liverpool
coarse sold at 75c. on time, and about 2,000 have been
disposed of in lots at 80 cts cash.
Lime. — A cargo of Theinastoi* sold on ship-board
atfll.
Turpentine.— A sloop load, about 50 bbls. Spirits,
sold at 28 cents.
Exchange.— Sterling 7} a7} percent prem. Do
mestic Exchange —The Banks are now selling checks
on all Northern cities at par, attd buy sight to 5 day
bills at j per cent discount; 30 days at 1 percent
dis.; 60 days at 2 per ct. dis., and 90 days at 2} per
cent discount.
Freights —To Liverpool nominal ats-l6d. for Up
land cotton. Coastwise—To Boston fc. for cotton
and 75c for Rice; to New York 15 a 20c. per 100
lbs. for cotton and7sc, per cask for Rice; to Phila
delphia jc. for cotton and 75c. a3l for rice; to Bal
timore fc. for cotton and 75c. per tierce far Rice.
All coastwise freights are very dull.
CHARLESTON, April 5. 'Cotton.— At the time
that we closed our last report, there was very little
doing in Colton. Holders having been relieved, to
some extent, by the comparatively heavy operations
at an earlier period, had advanced their figures ; but,
as buyers were not disposed to sustain them in the
position they had thus assumed, there was a stand
off among dealers, and h-nce the stagnation that pre
vailed al the close of the week. Tbe face of the mar
ket, however, has undergone some change during the
week just brought to a close, which has been some
what influenced by the great deficiency in the ag
gregate receipts, as shown in our report of the 29th
ult., and the increased confidence of holders in the
ultimate shortness of the crop Friday last was par
tially observed as a holiday, and the prevalence of a
rain-storm throughout Saturday, materially interfered
with operations at the opening of lhe week under re
view ; we doubt, however, if it bad been otherwise,
whether the sales during these two days would have
been at all augmented, as there was a stringency in
the terms of sellers that did not suit the views of buy
ers, and lhe subsequent politico of the market has
strengthened us in th.’e opinion. The sales from this
time forward, as will be seen below, have been very
light; but the preponderance in prices was in favor
of holders, mid the week closed al an improvement
of }to }c. This advance, however, has with difficul
ty been sustained during the preceding two days,
and we find a good deal of difficulty in giving quota
tions to-day, from the fact that there bas not been en
ough done to establish prices; but the subjoined rates
will approximate as near as possible to the value of
the article at tbe close of the u r eek.
Since the above remark was penned, the advices
by the Europa have come to hand, and, whether
these quotations will be sustained is left for the fu
ture to determine. The sales of the week may be
put down as follows, viz:—Friday 739 bales; Satur
day 471; Tuesday 365; Wednesday 163; and
Thursday 496; making a total of 3:50 bales against
the receipt in (he same tiu.e of 4650 bales. The
transactions were 2 bales at 10; 17 at 10}; 78 at 10};
20 at !0|; 45 at 10}; 30 at 10g; 100 at 11; 86alllj;
244 at Ilf; 132 at Ilf; 223 at llf ; 170 at 111; SUO
at Ilf; 197 at 11}; 125 at 11 15-16: 468 at 12; an I
331 bales at 12fc. We quote ordinary to good or
dinary 10} a lo| ; middling to good middling 11 a
Ilf; middling (air 11} a Ilf; fair and felly fair 11}
a 12c. All descriptions of Long Cotton have been
extremely duil during the week, the transactions
have been limited to about 100 bales at prices some
what easier, although not sufficiently so to establish a
quotable decline.
/l ice.— We have no change to notice in the Rice
market. The prices current, at the time we made
up our former report, have been sustained during the
present week. The receipts have beeen 1396 tcs.,
which have changed hands ut prices ranging from 2}
to 33}; mostly at 3} and 33 3 16ths per 100 ; there,
however, have been no choice parcels on the market,
which command higher prices t*ati those reported
above.
Corn. — The receipts of the week have been limit
ed, and the transactions show no change from tbe
prices current the preceding week. The arrivals
comprise 1100 bushels Maryland, which sold at 56c.
cash, and 2300 bushels North Carolina, which were
taken by a dealer at 59c.
Oats.— The supply is light, and present quotations
we have no doubt would be fully sustained.
Hay. — The receipts since our last comprise about
1000 bales North River, which have been sold at 75 a
80c. There have been no transactions in Eastern
far some lime buck.
Flour. — Most descriptions of this article continue
to be very much negleced. The transactions have
been confined solely to small parcels of the favorite
brands of Virginia at $6 a 6} per barrel, and Balti
more from 35 to 35} per barrel. There is no West
ern or Philadelphia on the market, and present quo
tations are nominal. The arrivals since our laet have
been full 1400 bbls. The supply In heavy.
iSalt. — There have been no arrivals this week, and
there is none afloat. There is a heavy stock on
hand. The receipts far the quarter ending 31st ult.,
wer? 69,333 sucks, and 5000 bushels in bulk.
Bacon.— The tranractions during tbe week have
been more extensive than for some time back, but the
business'contiuuea light. The sales so far as we have
been able to ascertain have been confined to some 50
hhds. prime new Sit<es at 5} to 5J cts; and about an
equal number of hhds. of Shoulders at from 4f to sc.
Trie receipts since our fast are 234 tcs. and 42 bbls.
Hams, and 248 casks Sides and Shoulders.
Lard.— The transactions in Lard during the week
reach some 500 kegs Baltimore and Western, which
changed hands at lioui 7} to 7|c. About 800 kegs
have been received since our last. -
Provisions. — There was a sale of 60 bbls. No. 1
Mess Beef, at 39} per bbl.; and 26 bbls prime Pork
at 310 per bbl.
and Rope. — These articles continue to
be very much neglected, and in the absence of trans
actions our quotations idußi be considered nominal
Sugars.— The market has labored under a good
deal of depression during the week, in consequence
of an unusually large and accumulating stock. The
trade is amply supplitd, and some of our importing
bouses have heavy Kocks of the new crop, there is
also no inconsiderable amount of tbe old crop in the
hands as speculators which have been in store far
some time. Under such circumbtunces, to effect
sales, a heavy reduction must necessarily be submit
ted to. The transactions of the week have been con
fined to some 80 hhds. Muscovado, of very good
quality, at sjc. We quote extremes 4} to s}o. We
have no transactions to notice in other descriptions,
aud pi ices are nominal. The receipts from foreign
ports t<>r the quarter ending 314 ult, are 1366 hhds ,
47 bbls, and 403 f oxes, and from coastwise ports in
the same period of time, 2818 hbds. 25 tierces and
224 bbls. In addition to which, the arrivals since
the Ist nst. f.»otup 955 hhds. from the West Indies,
and 538 hhds and 68 bois. mostly from N. Origans.
Coffee — The Coffee market has also been very
much neglected this week. Prices are tending down
ward, and in the present slate ol the market abroad,
there is no disposition among dealers to operate, and
hence the stagnation in the market. Prices are alto
gether nominal, and we have no quotations to offer.
The stock is rather heavy than otherwise. The re
ceipts far the quarter end ng with ’he Ist inst., were
32 hhds., 199 bbls., and 16,697 bag.-.
Molasses — All descriptions of Mo’asses have also
been very much neglected, since our last report. A
lot nf Cuba, consisting of 265 hhds. and 23 tierces,
were sold on Saturday last, at the low price of 16c.,
and yesterday, 89 bbls., whether Cuba or Muscova
do we were not informed, were taken by a dealer at
21c. Tbe recent arrivals of New Orleans have gone
into store, with tbe exception of a lot of 60 bbls.,
which was sold at the close of lhe week at 25c Tbe
receipts far the quarter embrace 3247 hhds., 500 tcs.,
and 458 bbls , from foreign ports, and 13 hhds., 15
tierces, and 5249 bbls, coastwise. There have been
leceired since tbe Ist instant, exclusive of the above,
251 hhds., 90 tcs., and 154 bbla., from tbe West In
dies, and 800 bbls, coastwise.
Domestic Liquors—There have been received
since our last, upwards of 1400 barrels of Whiskey
from New Orleans, about 600 bbls es which have
lieen sold, part to arrive and parton arrival, at 25 a
26c , mostly at the latter figure. We therefore give
these prices as a fair criterion of the market. There
have also been sola from store about 100 b'ols. North
ern Rum, within lhe limits of our quotations—27 a
28c. per gallon.
Exchanges —The market remains about the same
as at the dale of our last, so far ae Sterling Bills and
Francs are concerned. The rates for Domestic Ex
change have again advanced, on New York and oth
er cities, f per cent. prem.
Freights —We continue to quote Cotton to Liver
pool at jd in square bags, with very little offering.
To Havre duil at jc for square bags and 33 for Rice,
so New York 25c per 100 lbs for Cotton, and 75c
per bbl for Rice, and to Boston, 37}c for the former,
and 31} per fierce far Rice.

also runs free of friction 1 would recommend all
persons wishing to purchase, te call on Mr. Wynne
for one of his Fire proof Gins-. I think they will be
well pleased.
N. B. My Gin runs light; 2 horses can carry it
with ease. 1 put a iQiup of tallow in the oil box—it
did not melt in ginning some 75 or 80 bales, it runs
so free ol heat. LEE HOLSON.
March 15, 1850.—1 do hereby certify, that 1 pur
chased a 50 saw Cotton Gin of Mr. Thomas Wynne,
of Columbia county, Ga.; which Gin I am well

Lincoln County, Ga., July 27, 1847. —This is
to certify, that I purchased a fine Fire-prool Co:ton
Gin of Mr. Thomas Wynne, of Columbia county,
Ga.,some time last fall; with which Gin I am well
pleased, and take pleasure in recommending them to
Planters. My gin picks clean, leaves a fine staple;
and I think no person will regret purchasing Mr.
Wynne’s make of Gins. J. M. UUTLIFF.
Taliaferro County, Ga , July 24, 1848. —1 do
hereby certify, to the best of my recollection, that I
purchased from Mr. Thomas Wynne, of Columbia
county, Ga., a 42 Saw Cotton Gin in the year 1832.
I have it used ever since that time, and it is a very
good Gin yet. I have ginned on said Gin between
1,500 and 2,000 bales, and it has cost tueonly 2 whet
tings during that time, and the first time was by said
Wynne. I have always been able to get the highest
market price in Augusta for the Cotton ginned on
said Gin, according to quality, before ginned.
1 would recommend ail persons that want to pur
chase a good Gin, to try one of Mr. Wynne’s as
they lust a long time with little repairing and work
well. I think persons trying Mr. Wynne’s Gins
will be well pleased. W. GUNN.
Let this certify, that I have used one of Mr. Thos.
Wynne's make of Cotton Gins two years, and it
performs to my entire satisfaction, and as an evi
dence of its good performance, I always get the
highest market price for my cotton. As yet, theie
is no perceptible wear on the breast of the Gin,
which is a proof of i s durability. A few weeks ago
I was in Mr. T. Wynne’s Machine Shop and saw'
Gins in all stages of progression, from (be beginning
to the finish, and the faithful workmanship 1 could
recommend.
Attached to these Gins are Water Boxes and Oil
Feeders which make them fire proof. These Gins
are also negro proof, for ali the awkwardness and
carelessness of a negro will not put them out of order.
N. B. —This certificate was unsolicited by Mr. T.
Wynne. PETEK KNOX.
Washington, April 2, 1848.—Mr. Wynne.
Dear Sir, - I hereby certify, that the Gin I bought of

tween 1,000 and 1,100 bales. 1 have used no other
Gin. 1 have not bad it whetted or repaired, and it
is yet in good order. 1 would recommend Mr.
Wynne’s Gin to farmers as one of the best to be ob
tained. W. STATON.
Columbia County, Ga., January, 1848- —1 am

which their GINS have given, particularly
those of last year, the subscribers are induced to call
(he attention of the planters of Georgia, Alabama and-
Souih Carolina to their
FACTORY IN NEWTON COUNTY,
and request a continuance of their patronage. No
better guarantee of the excellence of their Gins is
needed than their wide circulation, and the expressed
satisfaction of some of the most experienced and ex
tensive planters and Cotton buyers of Georgia. As
to the workmanship, material and performance of
their Gins, they are willing to back many of their
purchasers in saying that there are none superior in
the United Slates.
Their Gins are on the improved plan, possessing
several essential improvements this year over those
of the last season. Every exertion is made by expe
rienced and skillful mechanics to render them conve
nient and durable. Their travelling agents, who will
j>e constantly passing through the various sections ol

Factory in Morgan county. His Gins are well known
and universally approved throughout Georgia, and a
portion of South Carolina, They are made of the best
materials, and no expense will be spared to make

He is also manufacturing
PATENT THRESHING MACHINES,

far superior to any now in use; they will do about
three times the work of the common Thresher, and
thresh the straw much cleaner. They are run with
common Gin Gearing, or with horse power, for
threshing in the fieid. With good attention, they will
thresh 2u bushels of Wheat or 25 bushels of Oats per
hour, and are not subject to get out of repair. Con
tracts may be made with my travelling or local Agents
for my Gins or Threshers, or by ordering them direct
from me. JOSEPH WINSHIP.

Remarkable Cure of Bronchitis. — New York,
Feb. 17, 1848.—Messrs. Sands Having suffered
many years with a disease of my throat, affecting
the larynx, during which time I v as treated by the
most distinguished physicians in Europe and the
United States, without nn y permanent be

I am confident the deplorable situation I was in, the
laryngitis being accompanied with phthisic and great
difficulty of brerthing, would soon have terminated
my life, had I not obtained relief through the medium
of your invaluable Sarsaparilla. I must say, gen
tlemen, when 1 commenc'd using the Sarsaparilla
I did not place much confidence in its virtues; and
this will not surprise you, when you are informed I
had tried more than fifty different remedies during
the past four years, without any success; bat after
taking your Sarsaparilla a few weeks, I was obliged
at last to yield to evidence. This marvellous specific
has not only relieved, but cured me; and I »herefore
think it my duty, gentlemen, for the benefit of suf
fering humanity, to give you this attestation of my
cure. Yours very truly, D. PARENT.

effected by this medicine are almost daily received :
Messrs. Sands; A member of my family has ta

Bic er Complaint. — The following is an extract
from a letter received from Rev. William Galusha.
Berkshire, Vt.. Oct. 22, 1848. —Messrs. Sands:
1 have been afflicted with a severe pain in my side,
occasioned by a diseased liver, for the last twenty
years, suffering at times what language cannot con
vey ; but since taking your Sarsaparilla I have been
greatly relieved, so much so that 1 have been able
to attend to my business, and preach occasionally,
lor the last eighteen months I wholly discarded all
other medicine, and thorough y tried the Sarsaparil
la, which I can recommend in truth and sincerity to
all those who are in any way afflicted with any spe
cies of scrofulous complaints. There have been
some remarkable cures effected by its use in this vi
cinity. Mrs. i. Shaw, by the use of six bottles, was
restored to better health than she had before enjoyed
for ten years; and Mr. W. Stevens, who had been -
severely afflicted with erysipelas, was entirely cured
by the use of a few bottles.
Yours truly, WILLIAM GALUSHA.
Scrofidus Affection of the. Eyes.— South Kings
ton, R. 1., Oct. 11, 1847.—Messrs. Sands:—Gen
tlemen—My little daughter, when one year old, was
attacked with a scrofulous humor on her face, which
soon after extended into her eyes, causing almost to
tal blindness in one of them, and disfiguring her
whole face. I employed two physicians to attend
her who exhausted their utmost skill to give her re
lief, but it ail proved useless, and finally one of them
remarked to me that he bad known of tome striking
cures effected by Sands’ Sarsaparilla, and advised
me to try it- I obtained one bottle, which ylie com
menced using, nnd before it was all used up it had
effected an entire cure. It is now over four years
since she was cured, and there has been no re-ap
pearance of the disease, and we are satisfied that it
is a perfect cure, k gives me great pleasure to add
that 1 can recommend it to every sufferer from any
similar complaint. Respectfully yours,
GEORGE ROBINSON.

The Louisville Journal says: “ Dr. Rogers’s LIV
ERWORT and TAR not only gwes immediate re
lief in Coughs and Colds, but Irum the testimouy of
men of the highest standing here and elsewhere, it
is making some very remarkable cures of Consump

The Railway Register adds ; “ We have heard if.
stated, by persons of great respectability, who have
used this medicine, that it is one of (he most remark
able medicines of the age, for Coughs, Colds, Influ
enza, Bronchitis, Asthma, Pain in the Side and
.Breast, Spilling of Blood, Whooping-Cough, and ’all
Lung Complaints, which, if neglected, usually ter
minate in Consumption; and the certificates attached
to the advertisements would seem fully to justify this
statement.”

This Plant has, for many years, been found to be
of singular virtue in the cure of Affections of (he
Liver. More recently it wae ascertained that it pos
sessed great power in arresting bleeding at the Lungs,
Coughs of a chronic character, etc., and ot essential
service in all diseases of a pulmonary character.
TAR.
This article is now universally acknowledged to
be the most healing and efficient application tor dis
eased or decaying lungs, or any portion of the fleshy
or muscular parts of the human body. Its medi
cinal and preservative qualities were understood by
the Egyptians in the early ages of the world, and
no doubt now exists among scientific men, that the
preparation used in the embalmment of bodies, was
composed principally of this ingredient. In later
ages, it was found to be in universal use among the
atwriginesof America, and at this day it is their prin
cipal, and, in fact, only medicine forun unsound state
of the Lungs, or any approach to it. Those who are
acquainted with the history of this hardy race of
men, know that a death from Consumption is un
known among them I The medical faculty in all
countries appear to have become aware of the great
healing properties of this article, and are now intro
ducing it in their practice. Dr. Buchan, of England;
Dr. Ciiebton, of St. Petersburg; Dr. La Prieure,
of Paris; and the distinguished Dr. Cooper, have
been in the habit of combining it with other articles
in their prescriptions, and with entire success.
