I.
Not Fallen 1 No! as well the tall
And pillared Alleghany fall—
As well Ohio’s giant tide
Roll backward on its mighty track
As he, Columbia’s hope and pride,
The slandered and the sorely tried,
In his triumphant course turn back !
11.
He is not Fallen ! Seek to bind
The chainless and unbidden wind ;
Ojipose tiic torrent’s headlong course,
And turn aside the whirlwind’s force,
But deem not that the mighty mind *
Will cower hciore the blast of hate,
Or quail at dark and causeless ill;
For, though all eise be desolate,
It stoops not lrom his high estate :
A Marius ’mid the ruins still.
111.
He is not Fallen ! Every breeze
That wanders o’er Columbia’s bosom,
From wild Penobscot’s forest-trees
From ocean shore, from inland seas,
Or where the rich magnolia’s blossom
Floats, snow-like, on iho sultry wmd,
Is booming onward on his car,
A homage to his lolly mind—
A meed the tailing never find,
A praise which Patriot’s only hear.
IV.
Stab of the West ! A million eyes
Are turning gladly unto him ;
The shrine of old idolatries
Before Ins kindling light grows dim !
And men awake as from a dream,
Or meteors dazzling to betray ;
And bow before his purer beam,
The earnest ol a better day.
I
V.
All hail! the hour is hastening on
When, vainly tried by Slander’s flame,
Columbia shall behold her son
Unharmed, without a laurel gone,
As lrom the flames oi Babylon
Tbe angel-guarded triad came !
The Slanderer shall lie silent then,
ii.s spell shall leave the minds of men,
And higher glory wait upon
The Western Patriot’s future fame,

EDUCATION OF DAUGHTERS.
TO MOTHERS AND WIVES.
We have long been under the impression
that in many cases in this country, a sad
error exists in the bringing up ofdaughters.
Mothers forget, we fear, that they should
be educated to fulfil the responsible duties
of mothers and wives, and thus rather qual
ify them to glitter in the hal! room or to
shine in the gay circle of fashion, instead of
fitting them •for the domestic circle, and
those gentle and constant responsibilities j
which are so essential to a good wife !
How frequently is it the case, that the looks
dress and style ofa young female are al
luded to with exultation by her mother, as
embracing all the elements suited to adorn j
and beautify the female character. How j
often too, do we see parents rejoicing in the
fact that Miss B. or MissC. has dozens of
beaux —that scarcely a night goes by that
three or four do not call—without paying
the slightest attention to the character of
those beaux, their means of livelihood, or
their ability to render a gentle being who
has been brought up with great tenderness
and care, comfortable and happy. How
often do we see thi se fair young beings
permitted to flirt, first with one and then an
other—to select companions front the reck
less and the dissolute, and thus become en
tangled in some romantic love match, the
end of whiehis anguish and despair. How
often do we see fathers compelled to take
their daughters home again under such eir
cumstanees —while those who went forth
from the family fireside, glowing and blush
ing with health and hope, and youth and
beauty, at the end ot five years are the ve
ry wrecks of what they were but so short a
period before. It is always a bad sign to
see a young lady run down with beaux
These mere admire rs are, in nine cases out
often, unsuited to be. husbands, and flutter
around the light of beauty in mere vanity,
and with the object of boasting that they
visit such and such a one.
Sensible men, vvhoare seeking for wives
do not desire to mingle with boys and fops
in the pursuit, and soon become disgusted
with the flippancy and lightness of the co
quette, or of the female who is constantly
decorating the body, but disregarding the
mind. Besides, men ofbusiness, merchants,
manufacturers, and others, cannot seek
month after month, or year after year, in
endeavoring to ascertain the disposition and
[ tone of feeling of the lady they may fanev.
I* IJ HI, IS lIK 1) RVERY THURSDAY MORNING.
If they find her involved in the giddv maze
of fashion and of folly, they will soon aban
don the pursuit, and seek for a more quiet,
reasonable and practical object of court
ship. There is another error to which we
have once or twice adverted, but which can
not be alluded to too often. We refer to
ihe false policy of parents who are in poor
or moderate circumstances, in bringing up
their children with expectations of offers of
marriage from those far beyond their sta
lion. It too often happens that in such ca
ses, the poor girls fade, year after year,
and are compelled in the end, at tho de- ;
I cease ofthoseon whom they have hereto
! fore depended for support, to eke out an ex-
I islenee for themselves. How often have
wc heard young ladies, the daughters of
respectable mechanics or store-keepers, i
sneering at the very possibility of their ac
cepting the proffered hand of any but a mer- j
chant or professional character, or some |
such individual. This is all wrong—ra
dically wrong, and fraught with immense j
distress to hundreds and thousands. Far
hotter would it be for any female to marry i
a reputable honest and active tradesman, in j
a thriving business, than a doctor or a law
yer, with little or no practice. Parents j
should pay more attention to these things, ]
as well for themselves as for their children.
We think it was Major Noah, who once. |
said, that he lived over again anew life a
each of his children grew apace, and pro
ceeded onwards to womanhood or manhood.
If this doctrine lie true, we should so edu
cate our offspring as to render them hapnv,
and thus to secure for ourselves, the reflec
ted sunshine that brightens their existence.

WESTERN ELOQUNCE.
The follow ing appi ars in a Western pa
per:
Gentlemen of the Jury: Can you for an j
instant suppose, that my client here; a man |
what has allers sustained a high depreda i
tion in society, a man you all on you suspect j
and esteem for his many good qualities; j
| yes gentlemen, a man what never drinks
‘more nor a quan of likkor a (lav, can vou j
’ 1 say, for an instant, suppose that this ere !
j man would be guilty of hooking a box of j
j percushum caps! Rattlesnakes and coon- j
j skins forbid! Pieter to yourselves, gentle i
I men, a feller fast asleep in his log cabin, j
with his innocent wife and orphan children (
by his side, all nater hushed in deep repose, ;
and nought to be heard but the mm to ring
of the silent thunder and the hollering of j
i bull frogs; then imagine to yourselves aj
j feller sneaking up to the door like a despi- j
cable hyena, softly entering the dwelling of
the peaceful and happy family, and in the j
most mendacious and dastardly matin r. j
hooking a whole box of percushuins! Gen- j
tlernen. I will not, I cannot, dwell upon the
monstroeity of such a scene! My f clings ;
turn from such a picler of moral turpentine
like a big woodchuck would turn from my j
dog Rose! I cannot for an instant harbor !
the idea that any man in these digging, |
much less this ere man. could be guilty of
committing an act of such rantankcrous
and unextrampled discretion.
And now, gentlemen, after this ere brief
view of the case, lot me retreat of you to
make up your minds candidly and impar
tially, and give us such a verdict as we
might reasonably sfispeot from such an en
lightened and intollerant body of our feller
citizens, remembering,that in the language
of Nimrod, who fell in the battle of Bunker
Hill, it is better that ten men should escape
rather than that one guilty should suffer.—
Judge give us a chaw of tobacco.
EXT ENSI VE Cl lICU L A TION.
A curious instance of the circulation of \
a Bank note is mentioned by the Houston
Telegraph. A gentleman who was clo
sing up some business of a merchantile ;
! firm in one of the western settlements of j
j Texas, a few weeks since, paid out a SIOO
note on one ofthe Louisiana Banks, and in
a few days afterwards received it from a i
person who was owing him. On making 1
inquiry ho ascertained that this bill made \
the complete tour of the settlement, “pay- I
ing up old scores,” and lias actually pas
ssed through the hands of twenty-four dis-I
ferent debtors and creditors, thus paying
debts to the amount of $2,400.
There is another story which has been
more than once told in this city, most hap
pily illustrative of the effect of one pay
ment.
A gentlem'-nt resident in New York, who
had considerable business in Philadelphia,
came on late in the season, about the year
1770, to make his collections and pay what
he owed ; but in order that the latter might
not be dependant on the former, he. took a
quantity of gold pieces (hank notes were
not in those days) aud set forth. When he
arrived here he entered promptly on his bu
siness of dunning, but his customers, one &
all, began to make excuses—every one had
a good deal due to him, but could not col
lect, and of course could not pay. Finding
that he was to collect nothing, the worthy
friend determined to finish tlie other part of
his business and go home, lie therefore
took his bundle of gold pieces, and went
round and paid all his debts. Having then
got business off his hands, lie spent a few
days with his friends, and prepared to de
part. Just as he was going, one of his
debtors intimated that he could now pay,
and he accordingly did pay. This induced
the friend to try again, and, to his astonish
ment all paid ; and, what added to the mor
al, was that the worthy gentleman found
’ that he had got back nearly every gold
| piece, the identical coin, which lie brought
with him front New York.
1 his anecdote was narrated to us by an
esteemed friend, who wished it placed a |
gain before the public for the encourage-!
j ment of the punctual and the monition of
; the negligent ; but our informant would not
j let us hear the whole ofthe story until he !
[ had pocketed a receipt for subscription—
j not yet due, but which he thought ought to j
I lie paid before he undertook to stir up oth ,
j ers to good works.
There is much propriety in consul aa- i
: tions of this kind. The nimble sixpence
works as well inpayment ofa debt as in
j the purchase of goods ; and a few who coni- i
mence the payment are aware of wliat a
. current of coin they make, and the ap
j preaching season is that in which such eon- |
| siderations are valuable.— Phi-la. Genetic. |
A Nut. for the Su/n rstilious is given in 1
the New OrlcansCre.se- ut. upon the sacred j
| honor of one ofthe most respected citizens
I °f that city, in a story of which the follow- j
ing is the substance. On the morning of'i
| the 23d of September last, about two o’clock j
| in the morning, Monsieur de G . a
; merchant of Bourbon stre t, N< w Orleans. j
| hut at that time in Paris, was awakened I
i from an uneasy slumber by the rustling ofj
the curtains of his couch. Ife felt a cold |
hand press upon his ow n, and fancied that |
i lie heard a voice which he recognized a
| his son’s say, ‘ Father !i am dying !” So .
decided an impression had this presenti-
I ment upon his mind, that he immediately ;
got up and noted down the circumstance, )
and the precise time it took place. Two j
weeks after this occurrence he was on hfo j
voyage to New Orleans, and a few days
ago he arrived there, i lis first inquiry I
was—“ Where, and how is my son ?”
“He isdead and in his grave,” was the
answer.
j After the poignancy of his grief had sub
j sided, he detailed to a ftjpad in whose arm
i his beloved son had died, an account of his
( strange presentiment, wh-tt, told.- •.•tvu -
! tonishmerit, his friend told him. tha’ Ids sou
I (lied on the 23d of September last, at tvv,
j o’clock in the morning an 1 that the la>
; words he uttered were, “Father ! 1 am uy

Clerical Wit. —At a country church,
where it is customary for women to stand
on one side, and the men on tiie other, tWu :
of the latter talked so loud as to interrupt
the service. A female ofthe congregation
happy in having an opportunity of vindica
ting her sex, exultingly requested the cur
ate to take notice that the disturbance was
not on her side of the house. “So much
the better, good woman,” replied he, “it
will be the sooner over.”

Ml PINY AND MURDER.
I Our community was thrown into eonsid

of the brig Creole, with the intelligence that
i 135 slavi - on board hud risen, in the vieini.
I tv of the Island ofAbaoo, murdered a pas

j forced the vessel in Nassau, N.-w Provi

the pin iieulurs of ilii . ou:ta;;e fioni Mr.
| Goddmd, the former mate, and now the tna■>
I ter ofthe Creole, and give them as briefly
j us possible.
| The Creole, Captain Ens-m, of Richmond
| sailed from that port lor New Orleans on
| the 27th oi October, with a cargo of tobac
! co, four passengers and one hundred and
1 thirty -five slaves. \. - o'uloek on the eve
ning of Sunday , lit Bth ultimo, the Captain
j supposed himself t> In n tin \ iilnity of A-
I baco, and hove the brig to. At* nine o’clock
j the slaves commenced tie- attack by shoot
ing .Mr. Goddard, the mate, in charge of the
deck, with a pistol. The hail slightly
wounded him in til- back ofthe head. Ho
made tor the cabin, and gave the alarm to
|th captain aud passengers, who had “turn,
jed in. The negroes earne forward, ob
| strnctod the passage from the cabin exclai
| raing, “we've gm ‘em. kill ‘em as they
come out. Mr. Goddard firs’ rushed out,
and, although bruisi and with clubs and stab
bed in one or two plac-s, reached th- main
rigging, and ten!; r, li in the maintop.—
Capt. Ensoii followed, and said he was bad
ly stabbed, and thought h< was dying.—
Soon after he tainted, and the mate made,
him fast to the rigging. Ad p rate af
fray took place on deck. Mr. It well, a
pe. : tiger, killed one negro with a musket,
and fought alt rwaids like a tiger until ho
was killed. S-vfal ofthe sailors fought
bravely until they were eomplc by over
powered. ’the captain and mate remained
in tin maintop until 5 o’clock in the morn
ing, when they were discovered. The

On Tuesday morning, at 8 o’clock, the
brig arrived at \.:- au. We inak th to!-
lowing extract from the letter of Mr. J. T.
Bacon. \nn rican C.'iisnl ut Nassau:
Tii American Consul, immediately af
ter the arrival ot’ the Creole, had the cap
tain and two ofthe m n taken on shore, and
their wounds dressed, and also those ou
h- ard, to prevent the slaves front going on
is re, ijo well knowing, il'this was not done,
it w ould be impossible to secure those guil
ty if the murder. This was complied with,
and an investigation ordered to betaken by
two magi-.; rates. Tii” Consul also has ta
li’ it testimony of the passengers and crew.
Not’ ieen siavco were identified as having
taki it an active part in the mutiny and mur
der, ami confined until farther orders, the
Gov ‘rnoi t'i fusing to send them to America
for the pt-i ‘ tit, and the remainder of the
slaves with the exception of five, were lib
erated.
By the interference of her Majesty’s sub
jects and the am I tori tie-, of the colony, they
were considered and treated as passengers,
w ith the right to go on shore iu boats when
ever they pleased ; while the Consul con
tended they were, under the circumstances
ofthe case, as much a portion ofthe cargo
as the tobacco, and that the British Govern
ment had not the right to interfere in any
manner that would procure their liberation.
The captain is convalescing, and will
probably recover, though it will be very
slowly. The other wounded arc doing
well. On their liberation, a vessel was im
mediately put up for Jamaica, advertising
for emigrants, passage paid, and a nutnber
oftliem have entered their names to go.
Beyond this there is but little to state.—
After the arrival ofthe Creole at Nassau,
the slaves acknowledged that a Baptist min
ister at Norfolk, named Bourne, had advis
ed them with regard to their course, and
given them directions how to proceed Mr.
Goddard learned at Nassau, that Bourne
had formerly resided there, and had abscon
ded. leaving his family. He is an Eng
lishman, and about forty years of age.
; Forty of the slaves on the Creole were
I own- and by Thomas McCargo, of Richmond,
I flu- balance belonged to Johnson & Eper
| son Mr. Howell was the agent of Me
\ Carrro, and was well known in this city.—
Three of the slaves were killed in the af
i t'rav, and another died of his wounds after
! his arrival at Nassau. Five more—four
! females and a boy—refused to accept their
j freedom, and came to this port in the Cri -
I ole. It is worthy of remark that a iloh, be
j longing to the captain, (ought furiously a
! gainst the negroes, and bit several of them
| seriously. He was finally killed.
