Uur American b >y- arc not well grown boys;
sire .»tuiMcuiij a- Carlyle would say —miu-
iattire meu dressed up - ■ bales, with long-tailed
coats. i»i smart frock coats, gloves an i canes,
and too often brave in cigar smoke. Their
hair, it i- long and manly, thei: carriage most
particularly erect, an I to stumble against a curb
-lone ail i roll in a little ‘lean dirt would be a
calamity. Their faces at e grave and thought
ful with the throes ol nascent manhood; their
ui tress proficin ilv calculating, an i reflecting
the wi- loin of the incipient man ol lue world,
as if they knew - now, and had taken deep,
very deep glances into that wonderful storeiiou.se
ol mvstcrici, which the day ol judgment alone
will dear up—the human beau.
The irirls! How many of them are allowed
to give forth the impulses of their sensitive na
tures! They, too, ate little women. They too
often do not kiss their manly brothers, much
less are they caressed by them. 'They are little
women, deep in the mysteries ot the toilet, re
dolent of cosmetics, perhaps versed in hem
ditching and working lace; incur very dolls have
bustles, and they, poot things, with forms cast
in a mould of God's own workmanship, whose
every curve and every developement is beau
ty and loveliness, must wear bustles too.
—Hardly do they darn their brothers stock
ings, or hem his handkerchiefs, or delight in the
handy-work ot making his linen.
When half grown they are serious, sober wo
men. They dance and sing, and smile, an 1
simper methodically. They walk on stilts .n
dance with evident constraint, and hy-anu-bv
we exjiect they will not dance at all. We ex
pect soon to se«- the little beings, with eyes fixed
alone on their neighbor’s deficiencies. Ah! how
wrong to check the buoyancy, the exhilaration,
the joyous outbreak of these young creatures,
whether it be in romping, or running, or danc
ing, and whether the dancing be to the music of
their own voices, of the piana, of the violin, or
the harp, or the tabrael, or of a German band, if
providentially they might pick one up for love
or money.
This is a demure, stupid, hypocritical, hum
bugging age, and we are going one of these
days to may more about it.
The New York Commercial Advertiser, in
publishing the above, adds the following judi
cious remarks;
‘ Exaggerated, but not altogether untrue. —
Girls and boys are indeed rara aces among us,
but through the merciful goodness of Provi
dence, there are some children yet left. To be
sure parents do their possible to convert the
children, first into apes and monkeys, by dress
ing them up in all manner of tunics, and Greek
a pole.-, and Scottish tartans, with preposterous
caps and long curling ringlets, and so parading
them through the street- to be stated at and learn
lessons of vanity, and worse even than this, the
poor little things are hurried as last as possible
into the condition of young ladies and gentle
men, by the aid of fashionable lioarding-scho»ls
tor the former, an i of billiard-rooms, segar
»hops with pretty segar girls behind the counters,
oyster--aloons, last nutting horses, oinner-par
ue-at the A -tor, Champagne, brandy-juleps,
gdd watches, and unlimited credit with the
tailors for the Utter.
The beginning of the evils is in the misman
agement ol children. Not one parent in fillv l
seem- to have an idea that children have bod- ;
ics for any oilier purn ses than t© pm fine |
clothe- on and go abroad for a -how. Infanta j
scarcely out o! the era-lie are sent to school-,
crammed with ridiculous 010-Cies and supplied ad \
tibCum with ‘ science made easy for juvenile
mind-,” instead of being allowed to run about,
and tumble heels over head, and learn h >w to
Use their limbs an I lungs in the fresh air, and to
read Mother Bunch, Goody Two-Shoes and
Robinson Crusoe. Boys are smiled with Latin
and Greek, against the stomach of their sense,
before they can cither read or write English:
and girl- arc whirled through a coui.se of French,
Italian, music, algebra, metaphysics, concholo
gy and for aught we know, neurology, when
they ought to lie gathering roses for their checks,
and brightness for their eyes, and vigor for their
little leg- and arm-, and famous aperite- for
their (tinners, by passing at least four hours of
every day, in wholesome out-duor exercise—
getting op with the sun at morning and going to
roost with the birds at night.
If we could have our way not a child in the
country under eight years of age should sec
the inside of a school-house or a school-book.
And here, lest the astonished public should be
startled ont of all its propriety by doctrines so
monstrouslv heretical, we bring our homily to
a close.” _

\ portion of this tube is coiled in a iumace lo

will keep his entire house perfectly cornlortaoie

Something New.— The New Orleans Cres
centy gives the subjoined account of an ex peri- |
mem made in producing coffee from sweet )x>- j
tatocs. The Editor remarks that he saw the re- ;
commendation in a Memphis paper, and byway j
of a freak, was induced to make the trial, the
result of which, as will lie seen below, proved
highly satisfactory.
Sweet potatoes mixed with dour, make excel
lent bread. We were not aware of this fact,
until a neighbor of ours, a day or two since,
sent us a part of a loaf for trial. It was sweet
an ! perfectly light, ami to our taste, was far su- j
superior to bread made in the ordinary way.
In these economizing times we would recom
mend a trial of the sweet potatoes for both j ur
poses. If they can be made to answer for eith
er. it will he a saving worth making by those
who have large families.
But we are detaining our readers from the
Crescent's account of his experiment in making
Sweet Potatoe Coffee, mentioned at the com
mencement ol our remarks:
“Yesterday morning we drank of ‘the proceeds
at breakfast* and hope to do this morning. A
nedium sized sweet potatoe was pared, and then,
while in the raw state, sliced. These slices were
then cut acrosswi.se, so that when the operation
was over the pieces were square and precisely
of the magnitude of ordinary dice. These were
then toasted slowly over a fire, as one does cof
fee. The moisture of the potatoe gradually
evaporated, and in about the lime that coffee
would be prepared for the mill, the potatoe sub
stitute was ready for the same process. 'The
grinding was carried on easily and perfectly,
and the grains came out prettily from the mill.
The beverage was made yesterday by the F reach
method of dripping, and we have seldom drank
a enp with greater pleasure. This pu.atoe cof
fee is as strong an \ dark in appearance as any
other, and only differs in taste from “Havana"
bv reason of a slight resemblance to cocoa. It
takes very little sugar, and is a substantial,
cheap, and no doubt healthy one. "Who else tries
it ?
It i-» better coffee than we ever drank in North
or .South Carolina, Georgia or Alabama, at any
breakfasting house on a route, and we would
particularly recommend it to the landlady on
tine southern bank of the Roanoke. NVc hope
to .-ee our planter- try it, and doubt not that
many who live id : from or inconvenient to mar
ket, will do well to introduce it. Poor people
in the citv can mak.e coffee fora week, with a
picayune’s worth of sweet potatoes.
A Rich Old .Maid.
In threading tire streets ol Natchez, theie is
something peculiar in the signs over the large
mercantile houses. These signs assuie the
stranger that a large portion of the business in
this country is done by females —they are the
capitalists, and tire active members of the busi
ness firms. As an instanc ?of the pranks play
ed by Dame Fortune on those who woo hei fa
vor by industry and economy, v.e would name
the case of Lydia D . About fifteen years
since, she came to this place from Philadel
phia, alone, poor, friendless, unrecommended,
and commenced business in the humble capaci
ty ofa huckster — selling apples, candy, X:., at
lire corners of the street- next a small shop —a
retail store, &c., gradually rose up until her pro
perty is now valued at three hundred thousand
dollars. For some years, her operations in
Natchez and Vicksburg have been large. .She
owns some dozen of the finest houses in Vicks
burg. and is now a rich old maid, and w hat is a
rare circumstance, accumulated all by her own
industry. She ha- none of the contracted no
tions and love of small matters peculiar to old
maids; but has a strong grasping masculine
propensity lor heavy business transactions, with
all the care and economy of a strict housewife.
When in Vicksburg the other day, she was
pointed out to us, and we pursued her several
squares until she entered a storehouse on busi
ness. Her features are rigid with care and cal
culation. There is none of that sweet smile of
loveliness which plays about the sweet counte
nance of woman—her voice has assumed a
hard and commanding lone, instead of the soft
cadences of love and kindness—her step is hur
ried, instead oflight and graceful. Her action,
look and air is that of business, instead ol the
graces of lovely woman.
She only knows one impulse of action—mo
ney. As an illustration of her character, we
will name one instance of her attempting to woo j
the powers of Cupid. Having accidentally dis- j
covered that she was alone in the world, abo it I
four year.- since, she determined on purchasing
a husband. One day, as Judge Pinlcard, (bro- j
thei of Dr. Pinkard, formerly ofLawreuceburg, ;
In i.) was passing her establishment in Vicks- ;
burg, she called him in, and informed him that I
she wanted him to count -ome money f »r her.
The reader will recollect Judge Pinkard is
an old bachelor. The Judge, at her request,
stepped into her counting room, where she had ■
one hundred thousand dollars lying upon the ta
ble. When the J udge had finished counting the I
hv> p / . she informed him, in quite a business
manlier, that he could have the control of it, if ,
he mould take her irith ill History does not men- j
lion whether the Judge took the question under j
consideration, or whether he rendered the opin- ;
ion of the Court instantly. But we are glad
his decision has been preserved. He has deci- |
ded that the one hundred thousand dollars, was |
quite desirable, but the incumbrance was great- j
;er than the nett value. So the petitioner was 1
n nsuited. We would suppose she was about !
forty years of age, but it is haid to judge the i
age ol an old maid.— Cor. of Indiana Artier.
Wonderell Phenomenon.— The Editor of
'.:ie Hanford Courant has recently been shown
a small volume in manuscript, purporting to be
a Diary, kept Ly Mr. Nodiah Russell who Gra
duated at Harvard College in IGBI, and was af
terwards a tutor in that Institution, and subse
quently the minister of Middletown, Conn
having been ordained as such Oct. *24 IGSB
From this Diary the Editor makes the following
extract: °
27th day, Ist month, Ife?2. It Sabbath
day. In the morning it was very cold, at noon
veiy warm; at night, between 1 and 5 o’clock,
there was a thunder shower, which came from
tli’.’ southwest, wherein was a great storm of
hail. The hailstones were near the bigness of
a bullet —they broke several squares of glass at
College, for they came with a strong wind.
Bn ke glass at Roxbuiy—and at Lynn it shat
tered many windows. Moreover, at Lynn, af
ter.-undown, as itbugan to be duski-h. an hon
est old man, Mr. Hanford, went out to look for
a new moon, thinking the moon had changed;
when, in the '.vest, he espied a strange blacK
cloud, in which after some space he saw a man,
standing in arms complete, with his legs strati- j
filing and having a pike in his hands which he
held across his breast —which sight the man saw
and man} others. Alter awhile the man van
ished, in whose room appeared a spacious ship
seeming nuicr sail, though she kept the same
station. They saw it, they said, as apparently
as ever they saw a ship in the harbor, which
was to their imagination the handsomest they
ever saw —with a Jolty Mem, the hoad to the
South, the hull black, the sails bright; a long
and resplendent streamer came from the top ol
the mast; :his was seen foi a great space, both
by these and otheis ol the same town. After
this they went in, where, tam ing but a while,
and looking out again, all was gone, and the
skv as cleat as ever.

The Cash System.
If we were permitted to judge from the fre- ;
quent duns that meet our observation m our ex-,
change papers, and the earnestness \i ith w hich j
the necessities of the Knights ol the Quill"
ate pressed upon the consideration ol their kind,
vet non-paying subscribers, we should interihal
some were about to summon sufficient resolu
tion to adept the “Cash System which, in
oi;r vocabulary, signifies pay in advance, or
yon done get the fruity of our toil and labor.—
When v. e wcie such simple and confiding ctea
uiies to to credit every man v. ho would consent {
to take jUi pa c. out ol the Pom Office, and
read it, and to believe him honest enough to
pay. w- sympathy^d with our brethren of the
pres, whenever we saw these outpourings of a
heart deeply a fee ted by a sympathetic disease— i
very common among editors and pun ishers — j
produce i by a too close affinity between the ring ;
and the tassel of their purses. Bui Time, which j
is said to correct all things, combined with an ;
experience, which c*>-.t us. if not thousands of j
dollars, certainly days and years of ceaseless la
bor, i>- i a ire thovgkl ice were v nuking , and did
change th<>,-ii‘.nds <■[ dollars. —have wrought a
change upon ns ; and we have learned to look
upon men as they ate, and toknov. that thous
ands, who take a paper from year to year, feel
no sort i f moial obligation to .pay for if,—in
deed, s ame of them think if they can cheat a
poor editor out of his just dues by any little act (
of meanness, it is perfectly legitimate, and they
hesitate; lot to boast of their success; and.
therefore, we determined, “sink or sviui, sir, rive
tr perish:' we would adopt the “Cosh System/’
and requite those who tead our paper to pay in
adv ance. Having proclaimed our determina
tion, we entered (pioneers in the South j upon the
system, which we entorced most rigidly on the
Ist January, 18*2. and struck from our list ol
Mi use liners iiuuureus U1 names—imuqv ui mem
we knew to be responsible men, who would pay
whenever called on. but we desired to avoid the
necessity of calling. Some laughed, others
swore, many abused us, and a few concluded
“it mis a d—n poor paper ana i r oy, and they
weie glad it was discontinued, for they had been
warding an excuse to stop it for a long time.
After a time, however, lire most sensible portion
of them, those for who. 1 e good opinion we cared
a gloat, concluded we were right, and they
would again take ike paper, and accordingly
forwarded the means to pay their old accounts,
and in advance for the mturc. Now we all
move on harmoniously: evety man who reads
our paper, (gave those in the counties for which
we do the official advertising, a few of whom
have not paid,) has the cheering reflection, when
he sits down to read the Chronicle & Sentinel
that it is paid for; he has, theielure, no tears
that the fust thing that meet his eye, when h
opens his paper, will be a dun, arrayed between
a double line of fists ; and besides, he knows
that when his money gives out his paper will
stop, and he need not therefore give himself any
trouble about an excuse, or impose upon the
Postmaster the duly of serving us with a notice
ll to discontinue. The poor and the rich are
placed in the same “category and when they
tail to pay in advance, we strike their names
promptly from our list of subscribers—we care
not whom it offend or please.
The consequence of such a step by us, at a
time of extreme pressure in monetary afiaiis,
and when, too, the country was flooded with de
preciated money, was feared by many of our
friends, and we confess we looked to it nut witk
| out some misgivings ourselves, but we had re
i solved to go forward, and when the day arrived
we had no inclination to rotrrceoui steps. The
result has been as gratifying to our pride as it
has been beneficial to our business. Under the
credit system forty-nine dollais of every fifty
that we received from the country, were in de
preciated bills, which we were compelled to re
i ceive at par, or get nothing—to get which, we
were compelled to keep) from one to three agents
' constantly traveling, at a heavy expense —and
we pursued it until we had accumulated a load
■ ol debt from [which we have no; yet tecovered,
notwitlfetanding we have an amount due us suf
i ficient to pav three times our indebtedness. Un
, der the cash system, no man thinks of offering
, us depreciated money, except at the discount,
j oui business requires no traveling agents, tx
j cept to try and collect the old debts, our sub-
I script! an list is in as flourishing a condition as
' it ever was under the credit system, and. on the
whole after a trial of the cash system for fifteen
months, we have concluded, upon the most ma
ture reflection, that one subscriber who pavs in
advance, is better than three who promise to pay
at jhe end of the year, and, as such, “sink or
swim, survive or perish," we go for the “cash
system."

-a vs; —Our enterprising fellow-citizen, R. J.
Johnson. E.-q. Merchant, left this place on the
15th inst. lor Mobile, with a boat loaded with
1200 Chicken®, 100 Ducks, 40 1 inkers, i>U
Hoss, 7 Beeves, 10 Haler oi Cotton and 1200
Eggs. There is a fine tule now «n the river
and with a good pilot at the shoals, (here seems
the faire-l prospect that he v. ill reach his desti
nation in safety. This, we believe is the first
freight boat that has ever been fitted out from this ,
place: we are,therefore, the more anxious that
it should meet with no accident. The boating i
business upon our rivers has increased much j
within the last two years, and when the country i
becomes more densely settled, and we produce i
jnore than we consume, it will !>e rapidly mujti
plied.
We arc informed that slut ol a large number !
of boats that have passed the shoals this sin mg, |
a few only, have met \\ itii accidents, and these j
only ow ing to the temerity ot the boatmen in at
tempting the passage without exjterienced pilots.
