FROM THK V. S. LITCRARV "AZETTE. THE POOR SCHOLAR. J law him startin'? in hi* now career ; 1 be hue of health was on his check—his eve nash^d w ith the eve of geititt , while no fear Cast its dark cloud o'er his aspirings hierh. And oVr his hro •. in fluttering tight and shade A thousand bright and glorious fancies p'aved. And he did seem like one who lightiv deemed Of chance and peril that encircle fame— One who wherever the wave-jewel gb-amed. Would urge right on with ardour nought could tame ; ;Av. one who 1 ved it better, that it lav Where the vexed ocean flung its troubled spray. Like a voting ea«de on the mountain height. Pluming the vigorous wing to fly he stood Fearless, thought lonely. Beautiful and bright, Outstretched before him, t' e wide world he Hi-wed And though from midst his wavs, the sound of st-lfn Jtosp loud it sooke of energy and life. Aga in I saw him—then his cheek was pale, And hent his form, and dimmed his lightning eye; file strength had gone, as the tree fades when fail The fresh*ing streams, fc hli"htinr winds go hvl *C3one the generous pride, the fixed intent, With which to the world’s cirque like gallant Steed he hent.

A sntv him at night—on his lied lie lay dying, Hi ■ lips were fast changing from vennii to Idur, And his children around him were bitterly crying, As he hiss'ed them, and blest them, and bade them adieu- | saw him again on the dawn of the morrow— Rut nature wns vanquish'd the struggle was o'er, Ris soul had forsaken her partner in sorrow, And fled to that place where distress is no metre. W. G Anecdote of President Davies. This great Tying, originally a poor boy AX Hanover, Va., bnt for bis extraordina ry talents and pirtv, early advanced to the professorship of Princeton College, cros s'd the Atlantic to solicit the means of completing that noble institution. Ilis •fame as a mighty man of God, had arrived long before him. He was of course, spepd- ily inviied np to the oulpit. From a soul .at once bluing with gospel light and burn ing with divine love, his style of speaking Was’so strikingly superior to that of the cold sermon readers of the British metropolis, that the town was presently running after b ; m. There was nn getting into the church es where lie was to preach. The coach es of nobilitv stood in glittering ranks a- foitnd (he long neglected walls of Zion ; and even George the third with his royal consort, borne away bv the holv epidemic became humble hearers of the American orator. Blessed with a clear glassy voice, sweet as tho notes of the Harmonica, and as Ion 1 as the battle kindling trumpet, lie (A nred fourth the pious ardour of his soul with such force that the honest monarch could not repress his emotions; but start ing from his seat with rolling eves and ag itated manner, at every burning period he would exclaim, loud enough to he heard Jialf wav over the rhumb, “ Fine ! fine ! fine preacher! faith, a fine preacher ! Why —ichy—gohy—Charlotte !—Why Char lotte ! This heats our archbishop ! The people all stared at the King. The man ef God made a full stop, and fixing his eyes upon him,_as would a tender parent upon a giddv child, cried aloud. “ When the lion roars the boasts in the forest trem ble; and when the Almighty speaks, let the kings of the partli keep silence.” The monarch shrunk back into his seat, and behaved, during the rest of the discourse, with respectful attention. The next day he sent for Dr. Davies, and compliment ing him highly as an “ honest preacher” ordered him a check of a hundred guineas for his college. Apologue.—By the learned Geneva.— 44 The fox,” 44 once came near a fine gar den, where he beheld lofty trees laden with fruit that charmed the eye. Such a beaniifu! sight, added to his uaturalgreed- iness, excited in him a desire of posses sion. He fain would taste the forbidden fruit, hut a high wall stood between him and his wishes. He vent about in search ofaD entrance, and at last found an open ing in the wall ; but it was loo small for his body. Unable to penetrate, he had recourse to his usual cunning. He lasted three days, and became sufficiently redu ced to crawl through the small aperture. Having effected an entrance, he careless ly roved about in this delightful region ; making free with its delightful produce, and feasting on its most rare and delicious fruit He staid for some time, and glut ted Iiis appetite ; when a thought struck him tliat he might be observed / and in that case, he should pay dearly for his en joyed pleasure. He therefore retired to the place he had entered, and attempted to get out ; but to his great consternation he found his endeavours in vain. He had by indulgence grown so fat and plump, that the same space would no more admit him. “I am in a fine predicament,” said he to himself. “ Suppose the master of the garden were now to come and call me to ini account, what would become of me? I see mv only chance of escape is to fast and half starve myself.” He did so wiih great reluctance ; and after suffering hun ger for three days, lie with difficulty made his escape. As soon as he was out of dan ger, he took a farewell view jof the gar den, the scene of his delight and trouble and thus addressed if : *" Garden ! gar den! thou art indeed charming and de lightful, thy fruits are delicious and ex quisite ; hut of what benefit art thou to me ? What have I now for all my labor and cunning ? Am I not as lean as I was before ?” It is even so with man. Naked comes he into the world—naked must he go out of it; and of all his toils and labour, he can carry nothing with him save the fruits of his righteousuess. Married Life.—Connubial happiness is 4 if too fine a texture to be roughly handled. It is a delicate flower which indifference j will chill, and suspicion blast It is a sen- | itive plant, which will not even hear the j touch of unkindness. It must be watered j with the showers of tender affection, ex- j panded with the glow of attention, and j guarded hv the impregnable bariar of un- j shaken confidence. It must be kept unsul lied by the hand ofcarelessness, unobscur ed hy selfishness, uncontaininated hy neg lect. Thus matured it will bloom with fragrance, iu every season of life, and sof ten the pillow of declining years. “ I have lived,” said the indefatigable E. D. Clarke, 44 to know that the great- cs* secret in human happiness is this— never suffer your enemies to stagnate.— The old adage of loo many irons in the fire,” conveys an abominable lie.—You eauuot have to many ; poker, tongs and sill—'-keep them all going.” Dancing.—The Virginia Visitor con tains a communication, under the classical signature of “ Achoreuon,” denouncing the amusement of dancing. There are strange dislinctions made in this world be tween different kinds of exercise. No one, we believe, lias as yet discovered any immorality in skating or running for exer cise, but as llie age becomes more refined, we shall probably have moial laws passed against these amusements also. Is there any immorality in a man’s jumping over a fence twenty times,pour passer le terns— we presume not ;—take away the fence then, and let the man jump away as much as before :—is this wicked ? Are the mus cles unprincipled and the feet immoral ? No.—Let this motion be performed with ease and grace—do they render wicked what •’■as before innocent? But then the fiddle—what can be said in apology for the fiddle? To be sure there is nothing unprincipled in the fine flowing mane of a noble steed, but pluck the hairs from that mane, and weave them into strings for the fiddle bow, and lo ! they become instruments of evil. The case then appears to stand thus—a man may hop, skip, jump, or run, without music, and no harm is done—but if he do this grace fully, and keep time with the notes of the fiddle, he is guilty of abomination. But when the fair and the young assemble, in the cheerfulness of innocence, and ‘‘mix in the mazy dance,” which gives elasticity to the form, and rosy health to the cheeks, tbev offend against the law of morality.— This is the only inference to be drawn, for if jumping and hopping he wicked in themselves, frogs and grasshoppers are in a bad way. So much for dancing. [Morning Conner.] Swimming.—The art of swimming should be acquired by every boy both on account of its utility and its beneficial ef fects on health. As an exercise, it throws the muscles of both the superior & the low er limbs into action expands the chest, and increases the whole vigour of the frame. In bathing swimming is useful, by enabling the bather to plunge fearlessly headlong into the water which prevents the deter mination of blood to the head that not un- frequentlv occurs when any one walks in to the water at a low temperature. It should not, however, be too long.continu- ed nor should anv boy be allowed to ven ture into the water when feeling a sensa tion of chilliness. In this case he should run, or take exercise until a glow of heat be excited on the surface ; or he should not bathe until he has taken a hearty meal and on no occasion should anv one exhaust bv fatigue, or languid by intemperance, he permitted to plunge info cold wafer.— The first effect of the application of cold to tlie surface of 'ho body is the repulsion of the blood to the interior, & its accu mulation there ; lint when the heart and large blood-vessels are sufficiently vigor ous, this temporary accumulation only stimulates them to powerful reaction, and tlie blood is thrown on the surface again with a force sufficient lo distend the small est superficial vessels, and to produce fiom the excitement thus communicated to the cutaneous nerves, a glow or sensation of heat on the skin. Bathing should always be followed by such a glow, for when this does not occur, the congestion of the interior vessles is apt to cause the rupture of their coasts, and produce apoplexy if the vessels of the brain be more than usu ally loaded.—[Medical Essays. A man who had a cause in court, said that if lie lost in the court of common pleas, he would appeal to the supreme court and from there to the U. States’ court, and from there to Heaven. 4 And there (re plied a gentleman) you will be a defaulter for you will not be present to answer for yourself, and no attorney is ever admitted there.!” Persons having busi ness in the following Coun ties, (to wit :) Bibb, Mon roe, Pike, Upson, Butts, Henry, Newton, Crawford, Houston, Fayette, DeKalb, Coweta, Carroll, Troup, Muscogee.

The presumptions of to-day serve as facts to-morrow, and furnish materials with which the l ress, if not corrected or enlightened, will mislead that judgment hy which we must all be governed. Under such circumstances, shall we remain unmindful of the aim and object, the prrgress and direction of this mighty power? Shall a people, whose situation is so peculiar, whose welfare may be so easily put in jeopardy, whose interests are in some measure isolated, and there fore the more easily assailed, continue indiffer ent to the perils that surround them ?

We have seen, we acknowledge, with deep regret, this charter of our Union endangered, and, as we believe, silently undermined, its limits and landmarks effaced and effacing, by assumptions of construc tive power. It may soon be considered ticason in the citizen, disorganization in the States to assert Rights which were never surrendered to the Federal Government, or to resist powers which our predecessors never designed, and would never have consented to relinquish. It shall be onr cate faithfully to point out thpse encroach ments, and strenuously to resist that consolida tion of all power in a national head, which, what ever may be toe impressions of the moment, ro the views of the agent in each act, must lead, ul timately, perhaps lapidly to discord and disun ion.
