Quay, for the sake of lue lresh river breeze, was her favorite resort. But never in all her water-side promm adcs, was she hailed by the uplifted finger of the watermau. With looks purposely averted, he declined ta ><ht4y such a The hackney coach drived whilst 'she halt ed over against him, mustering up all her scanty puffings for an excla mation, drove oil to the neither pave ment, and pleaded a prior call. The chairman in answer to her signals, had just broken lbs poh's. Thus her goings were crn*npt within a narrow cirele ; many thorough fares, besides being strange to her and inaccessi ble, such as Tbaracs-street, through the narrow pavements ; others, like the llill of llolborn, from their im practicable steepness. llow she was finally to master a more serious ascension, (the sensible incumbrance of the flesh, clinging to her even in her spiritual aspirations) was a mat ter of her serious despondency—a picture of Jacob’s Ladder, by sir F. Bourgeois, confirming her, that the celestial staircase was without a landing. For a person of her ele phantine proportions, my aunt was of a kindly nature : for 1 confess a prejudice against such giantness. She was cheerful, k eminently char itable to the poor, although she did not condescend to a personal visita tion of their very limited abodes. II she had a fault, it was in her conduct towards children—not spoiling them by often repeated indulgences, and untimely severities, the common practice of bad mothers ; it was by a shorter course that the latent and hereditary virtues of the infant Shak erly were blasted in the bud. Oh, iny tender cousin !** (for thou wert yet unbaptised) Oh ! wouldst thou had’st been—my little babe cousin— of a savago mother born 1 For then liaving thee comfortably swaddled, upon a backboard; with a hole in it, she would have hung thee up out of harms way, above the mantle shelf, or behind the kitchen door —whereas thy parent was no savage, and so having her hands full of other mat ters, she laid thee down, helpless, upon the parlor chair ! In the mean time the ‘Herald’ came. Next to an easy ssat, my aunt dearly loved a police newspaper: when she had once plunged into its columns, the most vital question obtained from her only a random answer—the world and the roasting jack stood equally still; so without a second thought, she dropped herself on the nursing chair. One little smothered cry— my cousins last breath, found its way into the upper air ; but the still small voice of the reporter engross ed the maternal car. My aunt nev er skimmed a newspaper, according to some peoples practice. She was as solid a reader as a sitter, and did not get up, therefore, till she had gone through the ‘Herald, from end to end. When she did rise ; which was suddenly, the earth quaked ; the windows rattled, the ewers splashed over; the crock ry fell from the shelf, giul the cat and rat ran out together, as they are said to do from a falling house. ‘Heyday,!’ said the uncle above stairs, as ho staggered from the concussion; and with the usual curiosity, he referred to his pocket book for the royal birth day. But the almanac nut accounting for the explosion, he ran down the stairs ut the heels of the house maid, and there lay my aunt, stretched on the parlor floor, in a fit. At the very first glimpse, he explained the mat ter to his own satisfaction, in three words—‘Ah ! the apoplexy !’ Now the house maid had done her part to secure him against this error, ho holding up the dead child, but a she turned the body edge zi-ays, he did not perceive it. When he did see it: —but 1 must draw a curtain over the parental agony. — * * * * * About an hour after the catastrophe, and inquisitive she neighbor called in, and asked if we should uot have the coronor to sit on the body '! But my uncle replied, ‘there was no need’ —‘But in case, Mr. Shakerlv, where the death is not natural.’ ‘My dear madam,’ interrupted my uncle, ‘it was a natural death enough.’ From the Casket. letter from an irisii gentlewo man IN LONDON. My Dear Child. I thought it my duty incumbent upon me, to lit you know that your only living sistei, Carney Mac- Frame, has been violently ill of a fit of sickness, and is dead; therefore we have small or nor hopes of her gitting better.

The great bulk of his estate comes to an only dead child in the family.

GAMBLING. j An old ruined gamester in hopes to make a prey of a young gentle man that came to town with his pock ets foil of money, took him to a gaming house, and there to encour age him to play showed him several topping sparks that were born to no fortune, wiio by play had purchased great estate; and lived in pomp and splendor, by a success in shaking their elbows. "You show me.” says the young gentleman, “the winners, but 1 pray what has become of the losers'!” To which the old prig making no reply, a third person overhearing their conversation, told the young gentleman, that since the other was silent and confounded with shame at the question, he would oblige him with an answer—“ Many of these losers,” saith he, “taking the high way to repair their losses, have been hanged; others are gone to sea to earn their bread; some have taken up the trade of being bullies to bau dy houses; others, that have not hid themselves as servant under a livery arc begging or limping about the streets, or starving in jails for debt, w here you will be ere long, if you follow that rascal’s counsel.” “The punishment,” says the young gentle man, “is lit for the sin, when men, possessed of great sums of their own money, will play the fool to make it another man’s; and, if this be the humour of the town, I will return a gain to the country and spend my estate among my neighbours and tenats, where you, sir,” speaking to the gentleman who dealt so plainly with him, “shall he very wel come.” From the Casket. / THE HOLY BIBLE. If right lvt read, nor prejudice the mind, The llibie is the text-hook of mankind. 1 look upon the Bible as the old est and best of books. The history of creation is said by Strabo, to have been handed 'down to the Egyptians by a Chaldean shepherd; and its superiority to all other books is pro ven by the oue important circum stance, of its influence in civilizing mankind. Its doctrin s are superi or to those ot the Mahometan Koran, and of the Talmud of the Rabbis.— The Bible inculcates universal char i ity, which word signifies in the ori ! ginal, love To say nothing of the j glorious principle of love, the laws which it inculcates arc at the same time the most lenient, and powerful. Human laws are founded upon them , but they are like the rays of light I compared with the sources from whence they spring. On tho sacred page of the Bible we find woman ele vated to her proper dignity, hut among thos* nations where it is not read, woman is the drudge of the Sultan and the Caliph. The light of learning and wisdom flourishes where the Bible is read, but at its boundary commences the night of darkness and superstition. It has illuminated the world of literature and science, and cast a halo of glory around the atmosphere of intellect. It smiles on the calm and sunny scenes of life, and gilds the evening skies of the faithful in the dark hour of death. What the compass is to the mariner, the Bible is to the world. It teaches the king in the government of his empire, and the peasant iu the tilling of his field. It proposes reward to virtue, and pun ishment to vice. It interests equal ly the brilliant intellect and the bumble capacity All that is good, grand and sublime is contained with- 1 [in it. Many cannot relish it, be cause their taste is p rverted; and [ many reject it from prejudice. To understand the Bible is tit once to ibe introduced to a high source of .enjoyment—the highest source on ! earth. When I hear ama nexclaiin 1 against the Bible, 1 cannot refrain | irorn taxing his mind with ignor ance. If you are a literary character and wish to behold elegance, perspicuity and taste, turn over the leaves ol the sacred book. Are you phased with poetry' you have at once an OIIGIA STATESMAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1827. inexhaustible fountain. You have beautiful scenery, sparkling imager and ideas clothed in sublimity of lan guage. It contains numerous sper mens of the angelic lyre, and I doul whether there is such a field fur tl poet ia the world. The poet win draws his scenes from the Bible nev er can fail to please—his writing are always new. Are you pleased with the thunders of eloquence? — Here is another inexhaustible source. Some passages of Scripture are ir resistible, What can be more grand and sublime than Divid’s descrip tion of the appearance of the most High? “He bowed the heavens al so, and came down, and darkness was under Ins feet, he rode upon a cherub, and did tly, and be was seen upon the wings of the wind.” Do you ask for more such passages? I could quote a volume, but let the description which the prophet Hab akkuk gives of the grandeur of God, sullice. ‘Before him went the pes tilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet: he stood, and measured the earth; he beheld, and drove asunder the nations: the everlasting mountains were scattered: the pur petuai hills did bow: his ways are everlasting ” It was such eloquence that made Felix tremble on his throne. But poetry and eloquence are not the only beauties of the Bi ble We there find sound science and philosophy. We there read of chemistry, and of an experiment which dissolved gold and rendered it potable. Aqua Regia will dis solve gold: but to drink it is fatal.— History is complete. There we have the biography of many great and learned men. But it is a vain endeavour to attempt scanning the whole. ' The history is, in lac Bible, of him who groaned on Calvary. From that sacred summit a if tod of light broke forth upon the world. It was the drawn of redemption! Supersti tion fled affrighted before the glori ous appearance of Christianity, and the Church of the living God arose on the ruins ofthe Heathen altar. — The automatons of Pagan idolatry tumbled to the dust, and the false deities perished on Olympus. That glorious gospel which effected this gr at work is contained within ttie Bible. Like the rainbow which is liung out in the heavens, it was sent as a token that God would be mind ful of us. Glorious token! I rejoice when I read it, and I would recom mend it to all my fellow travellers to the grave. The waves of time are rolling on to sweep us away, and as w'e pass through the dark vale of death the light of Calvary will illu minate our path to the superb pai aces of God Darkness and death are horrific to the lonely mind, but the Bible will overcome those ter rors, and infuse a calm serenity in the darkest hour of existence. MILFORD BARD. Public Sentiment: —The Senate of Alabama, previous to the adjourn ment of the Legislature, unanimous ly, and the House of Representa tives, with only ten dissenting voices adopted the following resolution:— Resolved by the Senate ofthe State of Alabama. That they belive Gen eral Andrew Jackson to be an intel ligent citizen—an honest man—a genuine republican—a pure and in corruptible statesman—and that the decided wish of a large majority of the people of Alabama is, that he may at the next presidential election be fairly and constitutionally eleva ted to the highest office in the gift of the people. Georgian. From the Augusta Chronicle. Tax on Bachelors. —A bill has been introduced into the Legislature of New-York, by Mr. McClure, to repeal the Dog Tax, and levy the amount received therefrom, on Bach elors between 30 and 45 years of age !! This has kicked up conside rable dusi among the anti-matrimo nialists of New York, who took it quite in dudgeon, and called a meet ing on the evening of the 26th" ult. “to taki measures to prevent the passage of the bill, and to express their indignation at the proposition,” &c. &c. The Bachelors and the Dog Tax !

We fear their meeting will excite but little sympathy except among themselves,where we doubt not, there will be a plentiful exten sion of phisiognomy. These indig nities are increasing upon heir hands very fast.—lt is but lately that a bill, nearly similar, was laid before the Legislature of Tennessee ; *nd if we are not mistaken, a few more such measures will prove more etlicaciou in melting their icy hearts, and re ducing the long defended citadel that contain them, than all the mucl. ! boasted artillery of Cupid.

Come let me pluck that silver hair YVbich’mid thy clustering curls I see : The withering type of Time or Care Hath nothing, sure, to do with thee! Years have not yet impair’d the grace That charm’d me once, that chains me now; And Envy’s self, love, cannot trace One wrinkle on thy placid brow! Thy features have not lost the bloom That brightened them when first we met ; No:—rays of softest light illume The unambitious beauty vet! And if the passing clouds of Care Have cast their shadows o’er thy face, They have but left, triumphant there A holier charm—more witching grace. And if thy voice hath sunk a tone, ■ And sounds more sweetly than of yore, It has a sweetness all its own, Methinks I never mark’d before ! Thus young and fair, and happy too— If bliss indeed may here be won — Iu spite of all that cate can do ; In spite of all that Tin.*: hath done ; Is yon white hair a boon of love, To thee in mildest mercy given ? A sign, a token from above. To lead thy thoughts from earth to heaven ? To speakjo thec of life’s decay ; Os beauty hastening to the tomb ; Os hopes that cannot fade away ; Os joys that never loose their bloom? Or springs the line of timeless snow With those dark glogsy locks entwined, ’Mid Youth’s and Beauties morning glow, To emblem thy maturer mind— it does —it docs then let it stay , Even Wisdom’s self were welcome now ; Wlio’d wish her soberer tints away, When thus they beam from Beauties brow? —''+»—■■ From the Richmond Whig.

In the Senate on Saturday, the consideration of the bankrupt bill , was resumed : a debate took place on the motion of Mr. Barton to re consider the motion, to strike out the 93d section. Mr. Barton’s mo tion was negatived, Ayes 19. Noes 26. The House of Representatives was again occupied on private bills on Saturday. Such as had passed through the committee of the whole on Friday, were read a third time and passed. The residue of the day was occupied in the discussion ofthe bill for the relief of Willie Biount, formerly Governor of Tennessee, whose claim on the government a rises out of expenditures during the | late war. This case had been fre quently betore Congress, and has been acted on from session to ses sion, but lias never got through both louses. It was ordered on Saturday to be engrossed and read a third time o-day, by a vote of 73 to 68, the Yves and Noes being called on the question. A brief discussion also took place on a resolution offered by Mr. Forsyth, Dir. cling the Secreta o! War to comply with the terms a former call, and returning to the lepartment the papers which had en sent in answer to the call. Mr. ursytb disclaimed any intention to u-ure the Department, but attn and the imperfect return to a nus ! . prehension of the import of the resolution. Mr. Everett, on this ad mission, suggested that if the former resolution was not understood, the best way was to prepare anew one which would be understood, and. not to direct a compliance with that which, it was admitted was not un derstood. The resolution on mo tion of Mr. Everett, was finally laid on the table. Tuesday, January 30. In the Senate yesterday, the con sideration of the Bankrupt Bill was resumed. Mr. Robbins spoke at considerable length, in support of the bill. The bill was then laid on the table, with the und rstanding that it should be taken up on Wed nesday. The bill for the relief of John Macartney, was fully discussed and rejected. In the House of Representatives, yesterday, Mr. Everett offered an a mendment to the resolution offered by Mr. Forsyth, and laid on the table on Saturday, which was adopted Some discussion took place on the resolution off. red by Mr Woods in relation to the conduct of the com missioners appointed to treat with the Chickasaw and Chocktaw In dians but the iim having elapsed, the discussion was arrested. The bill for the relief of Willie Blount was passed after some discussion ; and after an unsoccessful motion to .ecommit by Mr. Long. The bill to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to exchange ten millions of stock, was then taken up in com mittee of the whole on the state of the Union, on motion of .Mr. Cook. An amendment was offered by .Mr. Veeplanck, the purport of which was to give ;t discretionary power to the Secretary of the Treasury to issue treasury notes, should the other pro jects fail. The committee then rose and the amendment was ordered to be printed.— JVat. Journal. Wednesday, January 31. In the Senate yesterday, an un successful attempt was made by Mr. Dickerson to call up the bill for dis tributing a portion of the revenue of the United States among the sev eral states. The bill for the relief of Parke Walton, of Mississippi, was after some discussion, rejected. The bill for opening a military road, from Fort Smith, in the territory of Arkansas, to Natchitoches, in Lou isiana, was considered and rejected. The hi!! authorizing the confirma tion and settlement of private land claims in East Florida, was, as amended, ordered to a third reading. The senate was engaged about two hours in Executive business. In the House of Representatives, the resolution offered by Mr. Woods, and discussed on Saturday, w'as laid on the table. A bill was reported by Mr, Mercer, from the committee on roads and canals, to authorize the subscription of stock to the Chesa peake and Ohio. Canal Company, to the amount of two and a half mil lions. The house in committee of the whole on the slate ofthe Union, discussed the manufacturers’ bill Mr. Pierce delivered his sentiment in favor of it. and Mr. Claiborne, and Mr. Mitchell of South-Carolma, agatfist it. On motion of Mr. Davis .of Massachusetts, the committee then rose. Mr. Saunders offered the follow ing resdlution, which lies one day on the table. Resolved, That the Secretary of State communicate to this House, a list of each-newspaper in each ofthe states, ih which the laws of Congress wer directed to be published in the years 1825 and 1826 : also a list of such in which the laws aro directed tube published in 1827, designating the changes which have been made, and the reasons for each change. Thursday, February 1. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Chandler from the committee on (he Militia, reported a bill to provide for the national defence, by the estab iisment of an uniform militia system throughout the United States, and for the discipline thereof. The bill for the establishment of an Arsna! in the state of Maine, vras ordered to a third reading. The bill appropriat ing annually one half of the sum of two millions of dollars, hitherto au thorized to be kept in the treasury, to the debt due to the commission ers of the Sinking Fund, untill that debt shall be extinguished, was tak en up, and, after some discussion, was laid on the table. The consideration of the Bank rupt Bill was resumed. Mr. Smith, of South-Carolina, opposed the bill. He was replied to by Mr. Berrien. Mr. Hayne closed the debate with a brief and eloquent speech in sup port of the bill. The question was then taken, on ordering the bill to a third r< ading, and decided in the ne gative, as follows: YEAS—Messrs. Bateman, Benton, Berrien, Bouligny, Edwards, Harri son, Ilayne, Johnson of Ky. Kane, Knight, Mills, Robbins, Silsbee, Smith of Md. Thomas-:-15. NAYS—Messrs.

Tazewell, Van Burcn, White, Willey, Williams, Woodbu ry—2s. The House of Representatives, acted on the manufacturers’ bill in committee of the whole on the state of the Union. The proposition of Volume 11. Mr. Barm y, which went to a fourth minimum was agreed to Some other propositions were made to amend, but they were rejected and the committee then rose and reported the bill. Mr Cambreleng moved his amendment in the House and commenced some observation* in reply to Mr Davis, who spoke ait length, and with much ability, in f a . vor of the bill; but the House ad journed before Mr. C. had made* much progress. It is probable that the bill will be to day ordered to be engrossed and read a third time. The rejection of the bankrupt bill by sS large a majority in the Senate has excited general surprise; the expectation having been, not only that no large majority would be found against that measure, but that it would pass that body. It is vain to speculate on the causes which, single or combined, may have pro-, duced the defeat of this measure But it may be worth while to ob serve that it has not yet been decid ed, that the bankrupt laws, which some of the states have established (or themselves, are unconstitutional while such laws exist; and are ad mitted to be of force and validity, it is possible this may be one reason why senators, even from some ofthe commercial states, have not felt in clined to favor an uniform system of bankruptcy. A serious division of opinion also obviously exists as io the question whether the bill should be confined to merchants, and tra ders, or extended, under certain cir cumstances, to other discretions of persons also. This diversity of sen timent doubtless had its influence in deciding the fate of the bill. Wo think the vote so decisive as to dis courage all hope of a general bank rupt system, at least for some time to come.—A at. Journal. Extract of a letter from Iluvanna, dated, January 11. The squadron under I lie com mand ol Com. Lnbordc, consisting of three frigates, and threa brigs, discovered the Mexican squadron soon after leaving this port.

The Revolution in Texas:— The New Orleans papers of the 13th inst. contain some further ' informa tion on the subject of this event, which has hitherto been but vague ly hinted at. That a revolution commenced bv such discordant and molly materials as this should sue* reed is rather doubtful. It appears that on the ltilh ult. the united for, ces of Nacogdoches and Ayeh Bayoit had declared the Province of Texas Free and Independent of the United States of Mexico, and hoisted a flag in Nacogdoches inscribed, “Liberty and Independence.” It is said that a few days previous to this declara tion. six Indian Chiefs, irt that vicic itv, held n council and promised to engage in the undertaking—and 200 Indians, principally Chcrokees, ac tually joined the new party. The new Republic had been christened, Republic of Fredonia”—aifd their (lag consists of a s,ripe of red and white, emblematical of the union be tween the red and whit© men.
