at first hesitated to accept the mediation leu-
Acred to him by the two transatlantic republics,
-on ’ account of the extreme complexity and
delicacy of the question in dispute (especial

} with $2(10 to purchase Ida slock. He pul up at
| one of the public houses, kept by N
W———, and confiding in the in'egrity of the
landlord, put the money into his hands for safe
keeping, nil he should call for it. He then tra
versed the city in seufeli of a favorable chance to
purchase Iris sloe!;, and after finding that which
suited him. ho returned to Ills quarters,stnif call
ed for his money. "Vour money I”'said the
landlord, “you put uo money in my hands.”—
; Ho had no evidence of the lad, and finding all
his dibit.- to induce his host to give up the mon
ey were fruitless, the desponding ami indignant
saddler repaired to Mr Emmet for counsel. Af
ter hearing a statement of the fads, and taking
such measures as satisfied him that the saddler
was a man of the strictest integrity, lie rebuked
him for putting his money into such hands,
i without evidence ; “hut,” said he, ‘-if you will do
I as I tell you. I will obtain your money for yen.”
The saddler very readily promised a strict obedi
ence to his directions. - ‘\Veli,” said Emmet,
“go hack to the landlord and tell him, when no
one is present, that you owe him an apology—that
you have found your money, and was mistaken
in supposing that you put it into his hands; you
will then return to me.” The saddler did so,
and the landlord expressed gri gl satisfaction, that
the saddler hud discovered his mistake.
Mr. Id in met then gave the saddler §2OO and
told him to go and deposile it in the hands of
the landloid. hut before you enter the house, pro
cure some gentleman of respectability, to go in
and call fora glass of hoer, and request him then
to lake. Ids seal and carelessly pass away the lime
in reading the news till you arrive.. Von will
then enter the room, and. iu his presence, tell tho
landlord you now wish him to take the S2M) for
safekeeping till you call for it. This done, tho
saddler again returned to Mr Emmet, who d ; -
recled him to continue his lodging at the house
for two days, and he regular at ins meals; and
then when no one is present, tell the landlord you
will take your money. This the saddler did,
an I the un.mspeeling landlord without hesitation
refunded the money, which the saddler restored
to Mr, Emmet, who directed him to take a good
witness w ith him, and go and demand the ; 200
—which you delivered in bis hands for safekeep
ing in the presence of the gentleman who called
for the beer.
The saddler accordingly piocceded to the.
house in company with another gentleman, and
demanded his money. “Vour money,” said the
astonished landlord, “I have just handed it to
you.” “No sir,” replied the saddler, “I have not
received my money, and if you refuse to dt liver
it to mo, I shall lake measures to obtain it.”—
The landlord dared him “to do lushest,” and Mr.
Emmet instituted a suit against him in favor of
the saddler. The landlord i fimlm ■ himself cut
wilted, paid the two hundred dollars.
Dkuiiitm Tiik .ikns.—ln the course of an
inquest held, on Tuesday, before Mr. Wakely,
In tho Marylebonc Infirmary, upon the body of
a man who had died of delirium tremens, tho cor
oner remarked upon the various opinions among
the faculty in reference to the treatment of that
extniordinuiy disease. Memo considered stimuli
most efficient, whilst i.lhcis contended for (he
sedative practice, lint he understood from the
surgeon, under examin tion, that in that situa
tion the.praeticc was at times to combine both.
He (the coroner) knew a singular instance of tho
beneficial results of (bo hitter plan. A man, ns
in the present instance, was conveyed to one of
tho metropolitan work-houses, labouring under a
most violent attack of delirium tremens, and tho
medical attendant administered to the patient a
combination ol opium, gin, and porter. Shindy
afterwords the man’s friends, not liking a work
house, determined on his removal to Mr. War
burton’s madhouse, at Hackney, and brought a
couch to take tho patient to that establishment.
-jo great was the effect of the medicine dial, be
fore an hour elapsed, and whilst the patient was
on the way to Mr. Wnrhurton’s in tho roach, ho
boraim convalescent, and was conveyed to his

within the wails of a madhouse, and there been
placed under restraint, the probability was, that
he would have been a corpse in a very few davs.

even been swallowed up had others destroyed

perished here, »:ul Iho surrounding towns and

Washinotox—Btuox.—-“A good hoy gen
erally makes a good man,” said the mother of
Washington. “George always a good hoy.”
Here wc see one great secret of his greatness.—
George Washington had a i.uo lier who made him
a good hoy, ami instilled into his heart those
principles which raised him to he the benefactor
of his country, and one of the brightest ornaments
of the world. The mother of Washington iscn
titled to a nation's gratitude. She taught her
boy the principles of obedience, and moral cour
age, and virtue. She in a great measure, formed
the character of the hero and statesman. It was j
by her own fireside that she taught her playful 1
hoy to govern himself, and thus was he prepared
for the brilliant carter of usefulness which he af
terwards pursued. We are indebted to God for
the gift of Washington ; hut wo are no less in
debted to Him for the gift of his inestimable
mother. Had she been a week and indulgent
and unfaithful parent, the unchecked energies of j
Washington might have elevated him to the
throne of a tyrant, or youthful disobedience might
have prepared the way for u life of crime and a
dishonored grave.
Byron had a mother just the reverse, of lady |
Washington; and the character of the mother j
was tiiiusfeircd to the son. Wc cannot wonder
then at. his character and conduct, for we see then
to be almost a necessary consequence of the edu
cation he received, and the scones he wiinessud
in his mothers’s parior. She would nt one time,
allow him to disobey her with impunity; again,
she would fly into a rage and heal him. .She
taught him to defy authority human and divine;
to indulge without restraint in sin; to give him
self up to every maddening passion. It was the
mother of Byron laid the foundation of his pre
eminence in guilt. She taught him to plunge
into the sea of profligacy and wretchedness, upon
whose agitated waves he was tossed for life. If
the crimes of the poet deserve the execration of
the world—the world cannot forget, that it was
the mother, who fostered in his youthful heart,
those possums which made the son a curse to his
fellow men. Had Byron and Washington ex
changed cradles during the first month of their
infancy, it is very certain their < haraclers would
have been entirely ihanged; and it is by no
means improbable, that Washington might have
been the licentious profligate, and Pyron the ex
emplar of virtue and benefactor of nations.—Mo
ther at Home by Abbot.
Bead and Pkatiikiih.—lt is often asked, in
jest, which is the heaviest—a pound of lead or u
pound of feathers? A person who had not his
wits about him might be guilty of the hibern. ’-
chm of answering, “n pound of lead, to be sure!"
Another u little, more shrewd would say they
weighed just alike. Yet, under certain circum
stances they would both he wrong. Weigh a
pound of feathers while they arc in an uncom
pressed state, and then weigh them after being
compressed, and in tho latter case they would
weigh more than in the former; because, when
any substance lias a large quantity of surface ex
posed to the atmosphere, in proportion to its
bulk, it weighs loss than the same hulk when
compressed, lienee may be asserted with truth
the seeming paradox, that a pound of feathers is
heavier than a pound of lead. This principle is
well understood by some of the wool merchants
who compress their wool as much as convenient,
that the same quantity may make more weight.
It is mid, moreover, that a wool merchant often
gains*tho interest of Ins money, in the additional
weight which the wool will acquire by remaining
stored during a season, and thereby becoming
compressed. Gold, the heaviest of all metals, by
being made into gold leaf, which has infinitely a
larger surface in proportion to its hulk than the
solid gold, may he made to Boat in the air. Ac
cording to the same principle are the clouds sus
pended in the atmosphere.
A I.m; of Incidents. —Antonio Bexariar

the Governor's dan ;hter, a beautiful creature of
sixteen, who fled with him, carrying elf with her
a large quantity of jewels. She died in Texas,
and ho nearly died with grief for her loss. He
started off through the wilderness; was set unon
by a band of bravadoes, and left for dead, hut
died not; and after much suffering, reached Gal
veston; embarked as fireman on hoard the steam

waves, almost dead; recovered, and was taken to
New Orleans by a steamboat; shipped ns a deck

Ex. Paper.
Pus 1 ka Tuauk.—On looking over certain i
statistical tables in the Canton Press, we were i
at first surprised to find that the. quantity of tea j
shipped to Great Britain the year preceding i
1 amounted to 27,519,466 lbs.; while the quantity '
! shipped to tho United States during the same pc. !
j riod amounted to only 5,608,060 lbs.—or about '
i one-filth of the quantity shipped to Great Britian. j
| Knowing as wo did that the “ universal Yankee '
| nation” was a great tea drinking nation, and that
the common people of this country hnd far bettor
means of indulging in the beverage than those
who work for sixpence per diem, the cause of this
great disparity in the shipment, in proportion to i
the population of the two countries, did not at j
first occur to us. But on looking our a list of j
vessels then at Macao, we. found that three of j
the seven American vessels were to sail for Lit- '
e pool. No doubt a great portion of the lea sent
to Liverpool in the American vessels, is reship
ped to the United States ; but we are not sufli
i cicutly acquainted with the mysteries of cont
| merce to understand the why and wherefore of
this roundabout trade.— Boston Times.

Death f*h KFKNRKII T.) DISIIOXSOt. Btltilin
the Irish reign of terror, in 1708, a circumslanse
occurred which in the day* ofSparta would have
liniiuv>Uli/.ed the heroine, it is almost unknown,
no pen has ever traced the story. Wc pause not
to inquire into the principles that inffucnced her,
suffice it that in common with most her stump
she beheld the struggle as one in which liberty
warred with tyranny. Her only son had licon
taken in the del of rebellion, and was condemned
by martial law to death; she followed the officer,
on v hose word his life depended, to the place of
execution, ond besought him to spare the widow’s
fitay; she knell in the agony of her soul and clas
ped his knees, while her eyes with the glare of a
maniac, tell on the child beside him. The judge
was inexotuhlc, the transgressor must die. Hut,
taking advantage of the occasion, he oflered life
to the culprit on condition of his discovering the
members of the association with Which he w»s
connected. The son wavered; the mother
from her position of humiliation, and exclaimed,
“ My ehihl, my child, ifyou do, the heaviest curse
of ye nr mother shall fall ripen you. and the milk
of her bosom shall be poisoned in your veins.”
i He was executed : the pride of her soul enabled
I her to behold it without a tear ; she retu ned to
home; the support of her declining years hnd fall
en, the lie that bound her to life hail given way,
and the evening of the day that sow her lonely
and forsaken, left her at rest for ever. Her heart
had broken in tho struggle.— Mackenzie's Vox,

The Hotmhicr’s Nest.
The good citizens of our sister State, Indiana,
| arc pretty generally kown throughout the Went
|by the siugulir appellation of Houshier. The
J following rhymes, from a young llooshicruon,
] convey a very graphical picture o' Hooshier life
ion the frontiers of Indiana. The picture will
j answer also foi the wilder pa.ts of Illinois;
Suppose in riding through the West,
' A stranger found a “Hoosliier’e nest;"
In other words a Buckeye cabin,
Just big enough to hold tiuecn ,l!ab in;
Its situation, low but airy,
Was on the borders of a prairie;
And fearing be might lie benighted,
ile hailed the house and then alighted.
The Hoosbior met him at the door,
Their salutations soon wore o'er;
He took the stranger’s horse aside,
And to a. sturdy suppling tied ;
Then,having stripped the saddle off,
lie fed him in a sugar trough.
'The itianger stooped to enter in,
The entrance closing with a pin.
And manifested strong desire
To Seat himself by the log fire,
Where half a dozen iloosiiieroons,
With mush and milk, tin cups and spoons,
White heads, bare feet, and dirty face-,
Seemed much inclined to keep (hcii places.
Tut Madam, anxious to display
Her rough and undisputed sway.
Her offspring to the ladder led.
And cuffed the youngsters up to bed.
invited shortly to partake
Os venison, milk, and^jwitiy-cake,
The stranger made a hearty meal,
And glances round the room would steal,
( nc side was lined with divers garments,
I he other spread with skins of “varmints;”
Dried pumpkins overhead wore strung,
Where venison hams in plenty hung.
Tw o rifles placed above the door.
Three dogs lay stretched upon the floor;
in sheet, t!.c domicil was rife
With specimens of Dooshier life.
The host, who centered his affections
(. n game,ami range, and quarter so( lions.
Discoursed bis weary guest foi houis,
Till bommis’cver potent powers
Os sublunary cares bereft ’em.
No matter how the story ended—
The application 1 intended
