Adventure* of a Erg if Mutton. —A re spectable Tradesman, icsi.ling not u hun dred miles from Wine Office-Court, Fleet street, sent to Mr. Mason, a worthy knight of and steel, of Shoe-lane, for a leg of mutton. A line wether leg was immediately transmitted by a man, with an’ injunction not to leave it without the rhino. When the butcher's man arriv ed with the leg of mutton at the domic’le of his customer, the niastet of the house was not at home, whereupon the man left the joint, and said that he would call for the money as he returned from supplying another customer. This promise, as may be naturally supposed, he most punctually performed ; when finding the master still noncsf inventus , and learning from the “ fair maid-of-all-woik,” that the wether-leg was simmering in the pot below, down he rush ed into the kitchen, (overturning a slop-pail on the stairs, drenching the affrighted mis tress of the house nearly to the skin with its savory contents) and throwing oft the lid of the pot (without the fear of scalding his fingers before Itis eyes, and against the peace of maid and missus) he grasped the lest of mutton hv its knuckle end, and wrap ping it up, smoking hot as it was, in his greasy apron, bore it away triumphantly. We nearly fmgot to mention that as the wily journeyman was rushing up the kitch en stairs with his capture, his nether part was saluted with the boiling contents of the saucepan —the maid singing out during the operation, “Curse you! you shan’t go with out the broth /” Upon the half- scalded dev il arriving at his master’s, with the ha/f ----<:<Hiked mutton, he found that the customer had been there, in the meantime (uncon scious of the disorderly scene which had been enacted at his own house) and paid for the joint. What was now to be done ? A felony had been committed, (“ stealing in a dwelliug-house under the value of forty shillings,”) and alarm and fright become the older of the shop ! A council was immedi ately held around the largest block in the shop, when it was decided that the unfortu nate cause of the disaster should he sent back to the purchaser; and the offender, wrapping it carefully up in his greasy apt on a second time, marched oft’ with his unlaw ful prize to its rightful owner, with a face as long as a side of pork, and as white as a lireast of veal. With a tremulous hand lie raised the iron knocker. The maid-of-all work scon appeared—the fellow, with his longue sticking to the roof of his mouth, stammered out a “ beg pardon, quite a mis take.” and throwing the parboiled leg into the apron of the girl, started oft’ home with a light heart, and a scalded hack. Ihe af fair was afterwards explained to the satis faction of all paities. Name* and Realities. —A Work has been recently published in Paris entitled “Slave ry and Liberty—the existence of man and of society in harmony with the laws of the Universe.” The following passage is taken from it: ” Slavery’s great fault is in the name.— In France and ir. England, workmen and house servants are more unfortunate, more dependent than any negro slave. 1 resided more than eight years in the slave section of the United States. 1 have compared the condition of the slaves in those States, and in the West Indies, with that of the work men of Lile, Lyons, Rouen, Amiens, St. Guentiene, and Troyes. 1 beheld the mis ery of the latter, their known dependence, and despite my prejudices against slavery, I was soon convinced, that as regarded its bearing on the physical constitution, mate rial happiness, development of intelligence, tranquility of mind, and perfection of the arts —slavery was preferable, and would produce far superior result* to any afforded by the pretended liberty of French or Eng lish workmen.” This is the view of an observer who ap pears to he an intelligent man. We give it for what it is worth, and in the belief that it may suggest teflections on the subject re ferred to —apart from the influence of names and ptejiidice operating either way upon the mind. The pretended Liberty of French or En glish workmen is—what ? Look at them, trot as men, but as parts of the machinery of human life and action, and let any one say iu what their liberty consists. Can they detach themselves from the social struc ture wherein they are fixed and from their position iu which they are compelled to bear the chief pressure of the whole fabric ? They have the fieedom of working for a scanty sustinetir.e—provided any one will give them employment; and when the poor wages, earned with much toil, are paid, what further obligation is there on the em ployer to waste one thought upon the piece of human machinery which was lately in his service 1 When no employment is to he had, the freedom of the woikhouse or liber ty to starve, is the privilege of ttie English labourer. It is hard to conceive of a system of servitude more surely and inevitably adapted to the destruction of human sym- Eiathies than this system of British servitude y which an entire class are made to traffic away their labor, their freedom, their all, upon terms prescribed by others, their su periors.—Baltimore American. A Mother. —There is something in sick ness that bleaks down the pride of man hood ; that softens the heart and brings it back to the feelings of infancy. Who that has suffered, even m advanced life, in sick ness and despondency—who that has pined in a weary bed, in the neglect and loneli ness of a foreign land—-but lias thought of the mother that looked on his childhood, that smoothed his pillow, and administered bis help? Oh! there is an endearing ten derness in the love of a mother to her son, that tianscends all other affections of the heart. It is neither to he chilled by selfish ness, r.or daunted by danger, nor weakened by worthlessness, nor stifled by ingratitude. She will sacrifice every comfort to his con venience ; she will surrender every pleae {ire to his enjoyment; she will glory in his ame, and exult in his prosperity; and if adversity overtakes him, he will be dearer to iier by misfortune ; and if disgrace set tle upon his name, she will still love and cherish him; and if all the world cast him oft; she will be all the world to him. ABBORICI I.TURE. Messrs. Editors :—As a gieat proportion of youi | readei'B ate agriculturists and many of them somewhat engaged in horticulture and arboriculture, 1 thought it might not prove uninteresting to know through your val uable paper, something of my practice and experience in cultivating fruit. Almost every kind of fruit can he made to mature in this climate with proper care and attention. For instance, the soil that suits the Peach, can be made to suit the Apple, Tear and Plum, taking care to manure an nually with swamp mud, decayed leaves and limt—the lime should he applied sparingly. Plums, Apricots, Chet t ies, &c. should he placed in such a location that when the tree begins to fruit, hogs, geese, ducks, Ac. can have free access to the trees; by this means all of tire falling fruit pierced by the curcu lio will be destroyed and that destructive in sect, which so often destroys whole crops of the thin skinned fiuits, will he kept under. 1 have no difficulty in producing the fine varieties of the Plum and Cher ry. And if we have no late frosts the coming season to nip the bird and destroy the fruit, 1 shall be able to exhibit to those of your readers who are curious itr such matters, specimens that will make their mouths water. I near great complaint of the failure of the fine varieties of the Crape; and I attrib ute it to excess in pruning. We are too prone tofollow European system —w hat suits in France and Italy may not suit here.— That W'e have native Crapes superior to those imported, is trow admitted by all who have tested them. And our native varieties do not require as much pruning as the for eign, (at least so far .is my experience goes.) Three years ago, last Spring, I procured about thirty varieties of the Grape from cut tings, (and by the by, let me say a cutting is superior to a root for pinpagatiou) arid the vines have done remarkably well, but there are out of the whole lot hut three varieties worth cultivating for their fruit, viz: the Catawba, Wand and Isabella. The vines of the three above named kinds fruited un commonly full this season, and all bid fair to ripen finely, but the wel weather coming on rotted the Isabella and the Bland, whilst the Catawba stood uninjured and yielded an enormous crop ot the finest fruit 1 ever saw. The Catawba when ripe is a deep red, and hangs on the vine in clusters on a long sin gle stem, presenting a most beautiful ap pearance. 1 gathered from my garden over one hundred and fifty bushels of this deli cious fruit this season. The Isabella does well in a dry summer, I manure my Grapes similar to iny Trees, only adding more lime. My soil is very poor and sandy, and yet I have no difficulty in producing the finest varieties of the Ap ple, Fear, Plum, Peach, Apricot, Necta rines, English Cherry, G tapes, Figs, Eng lish Gooseberry, &c. &c. in short, this is the finest fruit growing country in the world. I will close by recommending to your readers the dying Scotchman’s advice to his son, “ Plant a Tree, Jock, it will e’en grow whilst ye are sleeping.” CHARLESA. PEABODY. Spring Hill, Ala. Nov. 8, 1 813. P. S.—-I hope these few remarks will he the means of eliciting from ohhr and more experienced persons much valvualde infor mation to the community.— Columbus En quirer. Time. —The value of lime is in the pres ent. The passing moment is all that we can avail ourselves of. if that be neglected, nothing is accomplished ; if improved, eve ry thing. Time has been likened to a stream and not without reason ; for as that which floats upon the river is at one time above the point of observation, and soon af ter below, so upon time’s stream that which is “to be,” soon “has been,” and is passed forever. But yet the present is something more than a mere point of observation on the shore of time’s rivet, for the results de pendent upon an improvement of that pres ent are ali-imporlant, rendering the experi ence of the past and the anticipations of the future as nothing. The piesent is a cata ract in the stream of time, upon the bank of which we are poised, either to be borne over into the abyss of inaction below, or by vigorous efforts to save ouiselves from that fate, and maintain our position against the rushing waters. Such is the lot of man—he must hear up steadily and constantly against the cut rent of time which would sweep him over the brink of the precipice, or he is lost, and in stead of living, his manhood becomes for the moment dead. Seize on the piesent, then ; act, do something ; let it not glide by in in action ; for the mighty past is made up of the minute pi esent, and the boundless future, with its myriad creations, as well. Howev er great and impoitant the task before us, procrastination should never be allowed, for its success depends entirely upon what is done all he piesent moment; the past we can not recall, and the future must he the present before it can be emyloyed. Yes, even the boundless ocean of eternity is as nothing until it is presented to us successively in the minute portions we call the present! How important, then, that every moment should be improved ! Education. —Every boy should have his head, his heart, and his hand educated ; let this truth never be forgotten. By the proper education of the head, he will be taught what is good, and what is evil; what is wise and what is foolish : what is right and what is wrong. By the pmper education of his heart, he will be taught to love what is good, wisa and right; and to hate what is evil, foolish and wrong, and by the proper education of his hand, he will he enabled to supply his wants; to add to his comforts, and to assist tlTose that aie around him. The highest objects of a good education are to reverence and obey God. and to love and serve mankind ; everything that helps us in attaining these objects is of great val ue, and everything that hinders us is, com paratively, worthless. When wisdom reigns in the head and love in the heart, the baud j is ever ready to do girod ; order and peace | smile around, and sin and sorrow are al most unknown. Be viituous, he temperate, he industrious. ; s ©ir mm in am. Country Newspapers. —Newsptpers that are published in a town or village are call ed country papers, in oppositioi to those published in the city. Some people won’t subscribe ro country papers because they say they see first every thing contained in the city papers. These arc very wise people surely, and they have very shatp eyes too. If they don’t take the country paper how do they know or see what is in it? Do they borrow it and read it, without the pleasu'e of paying for it? No city paper can furnish country people w ith matter in which they are half so much interested as the courtry papers can ; be cause the country papers narrate what oc curs immediately arourd them. Marriages and deaths of their friends—the advertise ments of their neighbirs—the sales of per sonal properly near them, which they are in need of. These are matteis peculiar in their neighborhood papeis alone, and most agreeable to them. A Faithful Step-Father. —A late Dublin paper records the following extraordinary circumstance, which recently occurred at Menfalio House, near Ballymena, in the county of Auti ini. “A wild duck, partly in a domesticated state, had foimed a nest in a email shrub bery nearly opposite the door, wlete it was patiently employed in tlie business of iu cumbation. A desperate hut unequal con flict ensued, which ultimately terminated in the discomfiture and forcible ejectment fiom the primisesof the vvebb fooled bellig eicnt, on which the victot seatid himself with infill te giavity on the eggs which he continued to hatch with such exemplary diligence and assiduity, that in due time a promising blood of ducklings was exclud ed. The adopted family lie has since at tended with most anxious solicitude, care fully leading them forth in search of food, covering them with his wings during rainy weather, and attacking, with ieathss iniie pidity, poultry, flogs, or even cattle, whose pioxinriry happens to he such as to excite apprehension for the safety of his aquatic charge. Sometimes the ducklings disport themselves in a pond situated in the demesne, on which occasions their extraordinary step-father manifests the most extreme tei roi and alaim running in repeated circles romu) the water, and vociferating his discordant notes with unusual and Vehccicnt volubility.” The r dale Prohibited. —Dr. Franklin, in Lis own life, has preserved the following singular anecdote of the Bible being prohib ited in England, in the time < f Alaiy. the Catholic. His family had then early em braced the refoimalion: “ They bid an English Bible, and to conceal it the more securely, they conceived the project of fas tening it open with packthreads arioss the leaves on the inside of a stool ? When my grandfather wished to read to his family, lie reversed ti e lid of the stool upon his knees mid passed the leaves from one side to anoth er, which weie held down on each side by packthread. One of ihe children was at the door to give notice if he saw’ an officer of the Spiritual Court make his appearance; in that case the lid was restored to its place; and the Bible concealed under it as before.” —Philadelphia Gazette. Provident. —The Portsmouth (Ya.) Mes senger tells a queer anecdote under this head. A gentleman of that borough tint lung since, having occasion to visit the apart ments occupied by his seivants, discovered among the effects of his favorite old house servant, a pile of funeral cards, amounting to some dozens, which on examination he found to he those which had been sent to the family at different times, on the death of an acquaintance, extending back for a number of years. On inquiring of Molly, (for thot was her name) what she was go ing to do with all these funeral raids, the good old woman replied—“ Whoa, massa, I’s ’specting to die myself ’foie long, and 1 has laid ’em up to sen’ to my frens to come to de funeral.” A handsome young widow applied to a physician to relieve her of three distressing complaints with which she was afflicted. “ In the fiist place,” said she, “1 have little or no appetite. What shall 1 take for that, Dnctoi V “ For that, madam, you should take air and exercise.” “ And, doctor, I am quite fidgety at night, and afraid to lie alone. Whul shall Ido lot that V “ For that, madam, I can only recommend that you take—a— husband /” Fie! doctor. But 1 have the blues terri bly. What shall 1 lake for thatl” For that, madam, you have, besides ta king air, exercise ami a husband, to take— the newspapers. Sensible doctor, that. In reference (o the modern practice of advertising across two columns end making a great display of capital letters,the Bangor Enquirer very justly remarks : We will lay u bet of u leather sixpence, although from principal and interest we ate opposed to betting, that the goods of those merchants who advertise in such huge let ters, are not a whit better in quality, nor sold a whit cheaper, than those of their neighbors, who are advertising in a more modest and proper manner, and who put their advertisements in the papers, and keep their shop-hills oil their counters. These large lettera look to us very much like gull-1/ap.'s as they almost invariably are, and also as a diiect insult to those for whose eyes they are spread before the public.— Beware of those who advertise that they will sell “ below cost,” or “ cheaper than the cheapest.” They either stole their goods or they mean to cheat you. Tobacco. —lt is estimated that in tfic Uni ted States, with a population of sever.teen millions, the annual consumption of tobacco is one hundred and eighty millions of pounds—equal to seven pounds for every man, woman, and child in the country ! Dr. John S. Wolcott, son of the late Gov ernor Wolcott, and the last of the Wolcotts in Litchfield, died suddenly on the 22d ult. from putting arsenic in a tooth to alleviate tlie tooth-ache. IP © Ob 0 T 0 © h L . con. r. m. joiinson’b opinion ok ir. clay. Mr. Editor —l am opposed to the prac tice of giving publicity to fiieside conversa tions, but when the leader of a great party, in a respectable company of his fellow-citi zens, composed of both political parties, makes use of language either in praise or derogation of a political opponent, 1 consid er it no breach of propriety to give his vol untary testimony to the world. On the 130th of September last, Colonel Johnson being in Staunton, Va. a number of gentlemen paid him the respect of call ing to see him. One of the company re marked to him, “ Colonel, when you reach the Rail Road Junction, you will he near the Slashes of Hanover.” The honest old warrior’s face immediately lit up with an expression of cinceiity and pleasure, and he eloquently said : “ I should he delight ed to see that place. Every spot of ground Henry Clay touches he immortalizes. I have been in public life for forty years, and in that time have beer, associated with all the great men of the country. Leaving out Madison and Gallatin, who were old men when 1 first stepped upon the theatre of pol ities, I will place Jefferson fiist, then Hen ry Clay. He is a perfect Hercules in all the qualities that can admit human nature. Some men may exrel him in a single quali ty —for instance, Webster may he a greater logician, or some may he more renowned for deep research, but take Clay all in all, he lias not an equal iu the Union, either in the north or the south—the east or the west. In mot ill coinage—in physical courage—in oratory —in patriotism, and in eveiv noble quality, lie is without a superior. I have been associated with him on committ?es in connexion with Calhoun, Lownds, Cheeves, Webster, and other distinguished individu als, but Clay was the master spirit. We locked up to him as the Ajax Telamon : and by bis counsel we were guided in our delibeiations. If the rest if the committee assembled before him and were in doubt i.bout how to proceed, when he made his appearance, all eves Were turned upon him (bete the Colonel represented by gesture and expression how’ they looked) —and we Were certain to he right when we followed his opinion. He is a great man, a very great man,” ] have given you the very words of Col. Johnson. Ido not suppose that bis praise can “ add a cubit to the stature of Clay”— yet it may serve to show to the Democracy, that in the opinion of one of their leading men, Mr. Clay is not the monster in human fiesli that many of them suppose him to be. ONE WHO HEARD. A National Currency.— Shall there be a currency safe as gold ami silver, and, for the purpose of exchanges, much cheaper and more convenient? The best days of the Republic have been when such a cunency exist! and; its worst, when it was destroyed. The idea of transporting specie where pay ments are to be made, is ahsuid. Delay, risk and expense are against it. To make a cheap and, at the same time, convertible medium of exchange, every where at | ar, is the object of one of the political parties into which the country has been divided.— The Whigs contend, in the words of Mr. Clay, for “ a sound notional currency, reg ulated by the will and authority of the na tion.” Their efforts to secure that blessing to the country have been thwarted in a way known to all, and by a man on whom we have no terms to bestow—certainly not to piaise. May the “conscience” of John Ty ler, if he have any, be less a curse to himself than it has proved to his countrymen. It is needless to say—history records the fact, that the first charter of the U. States Bank was signed by President Washington, the second by President Madison, and the third fa bill fiirthat purpose] vetoed by Pres ident Jackson. Admitting the constitutional pow er of Congress to establish a Bank and even the expediency of such an institution, Gen. Jackson refused to sign the charter, because he was not first applied to by Con gress fin a model. The disastrous conse quences of that act, and the subsequent in flation of the currency by the State Bank deposite system —ending in luin, are fresh in llic public mind. Os the fifty-four years the Government has been in operation, a National Bank ex isted forty of them, including the most pros perous periods. The habits of the people, their business, and their predilections bad be come so identified with a national currency, that even Mr.Calhoun, profoundly acquaint ed as lie was with the subject, while advo cating Mr. Webster’s proposition to contin ue, for a limited time, the charter of the U. States Bank, used language ill the Senate, March 26, 1834, of w hich we give his friends uiid the country at large the benefit. Mr. Calhoun says : “After a full survey of the whole subject, I see none—l can con jecture no means of extricating the country fiom the present danger, and to arrest its fearful increase, but a Bard; —the agency of which, in some form or under some authori ty is indispensable.'’ Tiue Mr. Calhoun look the Bank as a choice of evils. He said the common dis tress had been produced by the Banks, and they must he used as instruments in restor ing the proper balance, “just as we apply snow to the frozen limb in order to restore vitality and circulation, or hold up a hum to the Hunte to extract theinflammation.” To suppress the Banks of a sudden, “would, if it were possible,” says Mr. Calhoun, “work a gtea'.er revolution, a greater change in the relative condition of the various classes of the community, than would the conquest of the country by a savage enemy.” After glancing at the several plans for supplying a circulation as well as a Gov ernment agent, Mr. Calhoun, in the same speech says: “It would,however, be want ing in candor on my part not to declare llint my impression is, that anew Bunk of the United Stales, ingrafted upon the old, wifi be found under all the circumstances of the case, to combine the greatest advantages, and to be liable to the fewest exceptions.” In the teeth of such authorities, with what grace can the democratic party main tain that the Bank is a Federal measure ? or that it is not essential to the best interests of the country ? Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. “Washington, Nov. 22, 1543. Some doubts have been expressed wheth er tlie President will have the nerve to urge tli eannexation of Texas against the fast gath ering storm which it has excited, indeed, it has been whispered, to-day, that the whole thing will he a sash in the pan. It is said that, finding hostility whereheexperted sup port, he will strike out the whole subject front his message. But the tone of the Madisonian, up to this very day, gives no indication ofjany such course. Dissensions in the Cabinet are again talk ed of, and Mr. Upshur and Mr. Spencer are made to figure as leaders of the two factions. There is little truth in it except so far as this —that the breach between Mr. Upshur and Mr. Spencer is utterly irreconcilable—that Mr. Spencer’s influence has declined and Mr. Upshot's become predominant. 1 would not be surprised at a speedy blow up in the Cabinet, and the retirement of Mr. Spencer. The annexation question may produce a crisis, for it is well known that this is Mr. U| shut's measure. A few of the members have at lived, made choice ot theirseats,and again depart ed. Ml'. Senator Allen, of Ohio, has gone to Richmond, as some say, to plan the Van Bureti campaign, the oiganization of the House, &c. The organization of the House will be a matter of gieat interest. In the first place, it will he necessary to ascertain who aie the members. That is not always the New Jersey ease will attest. The mem bers from Georgia, Missouri, New Hamp shire and Mississippi aie elected by genetal ticket, contrary to the apportionment law. Mi. John Campbell, when his proposition for suspending the law as to this Congress failed, gave notice that he would contest the light of members elected contrary to the provision ot that law, to take their seats.— It is now said rliat the wliigs will contest these sea*, not with an expectation of suc ceeding, but with a view to force the Van Buten men to identify themselves with nul bfication. Mr. Benton declared that the law should le nullified, and 1 presume it will he. There is an increasing probability of a strong combination against the election of Mr. Jones,'or any Van Buren caucus can didate, as Speaker. It is now asserted that there will he foitv anti-Van Buren demo crats, who with lie wliigs, will ftu m a deci ded majority. The western men are urging their claims to the Speakership. Mr. Wil kins, of Pittsburg, atid Mr. John W. Davis, of Indiana, are spoken of. Exhibition (f Domestic Products. —The Baltimore Patriot recently proposed ilmt a grand national Fair, or exhibition of Amer ican products, should he held at Baltimore next May, al the same time that the Whig Young Men's National Convention assr m bles. The Boston Atlas icmaiks, we think the suggestion a most excellent one, and we sincerely hope it will be adopted. It will give additional eclat to the gloi ions occasion upon which the W liigs of the Union will then be convened. It will identify the Whig cause, as it ought to he identified, mote strongly even than if now is. with the protection of the great interests of Ameri can Industry. It will couple that great sub ject with the election which is to take place the next year—and it will indissolubly unite the name of Henry Clay with the suppoit of the ii lie American system. Let llie me chanics, the manufacturers, the producers of Baltimore set the iliing in motion. Let them determine to hold a great National Fair in Baltimore at that time—and invite the co-operation of theii brethren thtongh out the Union. YVe have not the least question that the call would be impended to cheerfully—ar.d that such a show would be presented as would do honor to the coun try, gladden the heart of eveiy American who shall bel old it, and establish the pio tection of American pro ducts and itidustiy as the firm and settled policy of our land.— Tropic. The Locnfocos are alaimed at the threat ening aspect of the political lioiizon. The Democratic Review, their leading organ, lias an aiticle full of warnings, supplications, fears, threats, &c. It says: “The election of ‘44 is to he no juke. Confound these Whigs—they are like John Barleycorn; they will not stay dead, although it so satis factorily seemed at one time that their brains were out.” “We adjure our friends not to he unmindful, that even in the midst of strength, we hold our pride of place by a difficult and doubtful tenure.” As to the Whig candidate, the Review says: “It is to be Clay; Clay with an enthusiasm we envy him the honor of having awakened in his friends and his party, fur more than we should that of the office with which they ate so eat ucstly bent to adorn and reward the closing yeais of his long political life. Clay, and Clay alone can be the man—and the indications are apparent enough, as in deed cannot lie doubtful that the rally, and the struggle to lie made for him, will equal, if not surpass, in violence and lavish pro fusion of means, the befoie unparalleled ef forts of 1540.” And the victory, the Re view might have added, will surpass that of 1840 too. The Review tells another truth about the Whigs, when it says they “are holding themselves back in reserve for next year.” It is true, that scarcely anywhere this year hasthe Whig strength been brought out. It has been held back in reserve.— Next year, flesh and vigorous, the Whig army of fieemen will march to a bloodless but glorious Victory of Principle—and won too with that dearest weapon of a freeman, the ballot box. *■ Which is surer yet And heller llinn ttie bayonet— Which comes down as still As snow dukes fall upon the sod.
