Os Parent and Child.—We now come to the tender subject of parent and child, which Shakspeure has so tenderly touched upon in many of his tragedies.— Macdutfcalls his children “chickens,” probably because he “broods” over the loss of t hem; and Werner, in Lord By ron’s beautiful play of that name, ex claims to Gabor, “Are you a father/ a question which, as the Hungarian was a single man, he could not have answered m the affirmative without rendering him self amenable to the very stringent pro visions of the 43th of Elizabeth. Children are of two sorts—boy Sand girls : though the lawyers still further divide them into legitimate and illegiti mate. The duties of a pariint are mainten ance and education; or as Coke would nave expressed it, grub and . rainmar.— j That the father has a right to maintain | his child is as old as Moiites preu—-we j mean, of course, the rule, not the child or the Karent, is as old as Montesquieu, I whose eiatt age, by the bye, we have no means of knowing. . Fortunately, the law of nature chimes m with the law of the land, for though there is a gamccalled “none of myclnld, iu which it is customary to knock an in fant about from One side of the room to I the other, stilltbereis that natural sforge | in the parental breast that fathers and mothers are for the most part willing to provide tor*t tetr offering.

By the late Poor l*w Act, a husband is liable to main tain the children of his wife, whether legitimate or illegitimate; and we would therefore advise all ‘persons about to marry,” that though it is imprudent to count one’s chickens before they are hatched, still it is desirable that chickens already hatched, and not counted on, should he tigkily guarded against. It lieing the policy of our laws to pro j mole industry, no father is bound to con tribute to a child’s support more than twenty shillings a month, which keeps the child continually sharp set and is likely to promote the active growth of the infantile appetite. Onr law does not prevent a fatherfrom disinheriting his child 1 ; a circumstance which has been invaluable to our dram atists, who have been able to draw a series of delightful stage old men, who have a strong hold on the filial obedi ence of the walking ladies and gentle men, who dare not rush into each oth er’s arms, lor fear of the old gentleman in a court coat and large shoe buckles be ing unfavorable to the youth in ducks, or the maiden in muslin.

A parent may protect his child: and thus if one boy batters another boy, the parent of the second boy may barter the first boy, and the battery is justifiable, for such battery is in the eye of the law only the working of parental affection; though it is rather awkward for parental affection to take a pugilistic tnrft in its extraordinary zeal to show itself. The last duty of a parent is to educate a child, nr to initiate him into the mys teries of Mayor at an early period.— Learning is said to be better than houses and land—probably because it opens a wide field for the imagination—that Cu bit of the mind, to build upon. The old Romans, says Hale, used to be able to kill their children; but he adds that “the practysse off cuttinge offe one’s own hair was thoughte barber-ons.”— This atrocious pun remind us of the cruelty of a certain dramatist of modern times, who used to write pieces and take his own children to see them, thereby submitting his own offspring to the most painful ordeal, for they were compelled to sit out the whole performance, and were savagely pinched if they fell asleep, while(hey were, at the same time, ex pected to laugh and look cheerful at every attempt at a joke which their un natural father had ventured to perpetrate. In conformity with the maxim that “pa terna poteslds in pietate debet non in atrocitate consistere,” it is believed that a child in such a dreadful position as that which we have alluded to, might claim to be released by his next friend, for the time being, the boxkeeper. A parent may correct his child with a rod or a cane; a practice originally ift troduced to encourage the growers of birch, and to protect the importers of bamboo,as well as to promote the healthy tingling of the juvenile veins; and a schoolmaster who is in loco parentis , is also empowered to do the like by an old Act of Parliament, known as the statute of Wapping. Children owe their parents support; but this is a mutual obligation, for they must support each other—though we sometimes hear them declaring each oth er wholly unsupportable. * Having’ no Greek letter*, we print this word in italics. A Village in the Air. Moffat, in his travels, says: Having travelled one bundled miles, five days after leaving Mostega, w*e came to the first cattle ont-posts of the Matabeel, where we halted by a fine rivulet. My attention was arrested by a beautiful and gigantic tree, standing in a defile leading into an extensive and woody ravine, be tween a high range of mountains. See ing soma individuals employed on the ground, under its shade, and the conical points of what looked like houses in min iature, protruding through its green foli- I age, I proceeded thither, and found that i the tree was inhabited by several families of Babrones, the aborigines of the coun try. I ascended by the notched trunk, and found, to my amazement, no less than seventeen of these aerial abodes, and three others unfinished. On reach -1 ing the topmost hut, about thirty feet from the ground, l entered ar.d sat down; its only furniture was the hay which Covered the floor, a spear, a spoon, and a bowl full of locusts. Not having eaten any tiling that day, and from the novelty of my situation, not wishing to return immediately to the wagons, I asked a wrtman, who sat at the door with a babe at her breast, permission to eat; this she granted with great pleasure, and soon i brought me some locusts in a* powdered 1 stater Several more females came from the neighboring roosts, stepping from branch so branch, to see the stranger, w ho was then as great a curiosity as the tree was to him. I then visited the different ahodt •, which were on several principal branches. , Tlk : ictnre of those houses was ve- 1 ry simple. An oblong scaffold, about seven feet wide, is formed of straight sticks, and ii ttcced w ith grass. A per son can nearly stand upright in it; the diameter of the floor is about six feet.— The lieuse stands on the end of the ob long so as to leave a little square place before the door. On the day previous, I had passed several villages, some contain | ing forty houses, all built on poles, about seven or eight feet from the ground, in the form of a circle ; the ascent and de scent is by a knotty branch of a tree, pla ced in the front of the house. In the cen tre of the circle there is always a heap of the horns of the game they have killed. Such were the houses of the poor people of this country, who, having been scat tered and destroyed by a great chief, had neither herd nor stall, but subsisted on locusts, roots, and the chase. They adopted this mode rtf architecture to es cape the lions which abounded in the country. During the day the family de scended to the shade beneath, to dress their daily food. When the inhabitants increased, they supported the augmented weight in the branches by upright sticks, but when lightened of their load they re move them for firewood, MACON, WEDNESDAY, .TUNE 26, 1844. Women in Heathen Cotmtries. There is a striking similarity in the domestic and social customs and habits of all uncivilized nations. This is espe cially the case in the condition of woman; wherever a people is little advanced in civilization the lot of the female is hard. In Atrica they are regarded as servants; instruments of pleasure and profit. Not only are they subjected to domestic drud gery, but at regular seasons compelled to the severe tasks of the field, exposed to the full blaze of the sun while their un gallant lords arc enjoying the threefold luxury of the shade, a hammock and a pipe. Their tasks, however, are not al ways unpleasant to themselves, nor with out interest to those who witness them. When the fountain, as is often the case, is situated at a distance from the hamlet, the business of Conveying water is made an occasion of gossip and recreation.— The usual time of watering is in the cool of the morning or afternoon. They usu ally go in companies, threading the nar row tortuous paths in Indian file, enli vening the solitariness of the way by sprightly conversation or inspiring song. Occasionally they form their party nbout noon and start for the brook. They first fill their vessels and deposite them near by. Afterward, they descend a small distance below the place where the water is taken, and bury their bodies in the re freshing strearn. ’ They carry the water in vessels on their head, poised with an accuracy that leaves their arms and hands at perfect liberty—while a green branch immersed in the water prevents it lrom splashing. Gather roses while yon may. “Gather roses while you may,” is the burden of an old and beautiful song.— This is the season of flowers, and many may ask what was the origin of roses.— The Guebers believe that when Abra ham was thrown into the fire by Nim rod, the flames turned into a bed of roses. The Turks have an idea that it sprang from the perspiration of Mahomet, and they cause a rose to be sculptured on the monuments of all young women who die unmarried. The mythological writers say that Apollo caused Rhodante, Queen ot Corinth, in consequence of her extreme beauty, to be changed into a rose. The first rose is said to have been given by the God of love to Harpocrates, the God of silence, to engage Him to con ceal the conduct of his mother Venus, and hence it was made the symbol of si lence. A rose was always placed above the heads of the guests in the banquet ting hall, to banish restraint, and to de note that nothing said thereshould be re lated elsewhere; and hence originated the saying sub rosa, when a secret was to te kept. Rhodes is thought to owe its name to the immense quantity of roses which it produces. At Salreay, in France, a cur ious festival is kept up, called the festival ol roses. A young girl is selected from among three of the most distinguished for female virtue. Her name is then an nounced from the pulpit. She is after wards conducted to the church to attend the vesper service. She Was formerly accustomed to open the ball at night with the seigneur; now a present is bestowed upon her, and she is called la 7-osier, be cause she is always adorned with roses. The perfume of this delicious flower is thus accounted for by the fabulous auth ors“ Love at the feast of Olympus in the midst of a lively dance, overset by a stroke of his wing a goblet of nectar, which, falling on a rose embalmed it with the rich fragrance which it still re tains.” Frederika Bremer says the co quette expresses herself by caresses and bold freedom. She is determined to charm, cost what it will ; and, passing over the line of beauty, defying the good and the appropriate, she passes into the world of the senses, and, employing all empty ornaments, she loses successively her powrer, her charms, the respect oft rue men, and her own peace cf mind; and beauty’s holy heaven closes its door against her. An elevated desire to please may pass into coquetry, but we do not see every where in life that the white may become grey, and the grey continu ally darker, until the color of innocence is'entirely obscured by the black ! Yet is the white still there, and may lie next the black in stainless purity, just as truth may beam brightly by the side of the darkness of falsehood. There is an in nocent and loveiy desire of pleasing; would that every woman possessed it, and would despise its caricature! Paddifs expedient for 7 educing a hole. —An Irish weaver just imported from the sister isle, took to his employer in Kilmarnock, the other day, the first cloth he had woven since his arrival.— His employer detected in the cloth two holes, withih half an inch of each other, and told him he must pay a fine of a shilling for a hole. “And plaze ye,” re turned Pat, “ is it by the number of holes, or by the size of them, that you put the fine on us?” “By the number of holes, to be sure.” “And a big hole and a small one is the same price ?” “Yes, a shilling [for each hole, big or little” ‘ Then gi ,T e me a hould of the piece,” replied Faddy; and getting the cloth into his hand, he tore the small holes into one, and exclai med, “By the hill of Ilowth, and that saves me a shilling anyhow !” Evening. —l think there are two pe riods in tho life of man in which the eve ning hour is peculiarly interesting—in youth and ia old age. In youth, you iove it for its mellow moonlight, its mill ion stars, its thin and soothing shades, tts still serenity.; amid these we can com mune with opr loves, or twine the wreaths of friendship, while there is none to bear us witness but the heavens and the spirits that hold their endless Sab baths there—or look into the deep bosom of creation, speak abroad like a canopy above us, and listen till we can almost see and hear the waving wings and mel tings songs of other beings in other worlds. 'To youth the evening is de lightful it accords with the flow of his light spirits; the flow of his fancy, and the softness of his heart. Evening is al so the delight of old age—it affords hours of undisturbed contemplation ; it seems an emblem of the calm and tranquil close | of busy life, serene, placid, and mild, with the impress of its great creator stamped upon it; it spreads its quiet wings over the grave, and seems to promise that all shall be peace beyond it.— Franklin. The spell of song. —lt is given to song like the sun, to throw its gloryifying light upon all human circumstances, and to lend them beauty, at least for a mo ment. “The spinner,” and “the aged man by the road side,” are led by song into the kingdom of beauty,even as they are bv the gospel into the kingdom cf Heaven. An obsolete idea. —‘What are you?’ said the recorder yesterday, to a nonde script looking charecter, who stood up in the dock before him. ‘ I ain’t nothing,’ said Bill Button—for sucli was his name. ‘ You are nothing,’ said the recorder. ‘ No, I aint,’ said Bill; I’m a hobsolete idear. I guess as how tho vatchmari took me to be the vonderftil lion, or the Bengal tiger, ’cause he stirred me up with a long pole.; but I aint noboddy, and htuut qot no friend*. ’ ‘What do you follow for a living?’ said the recorder. ‘ I follows nothing; and I don’t live at all !’ replied Bill ; l exists on the myste rious principle* of vitality, and am a tee total from compulsion.’ 1 Why you qire quite a character !’ said the recorder. ‘ No, I ain’t ii character neither!’ said Bill; ‘ I hain’t got no character, no.how. I’d have no objection to go in cahoot with a decent feller for a character, but I hain’t got funds to purchase on my own ac count.’ ‘Well. I shall send you to the work house for thirty days—perhaps when you come out you’ll find times easier,’ said the recorder. Bill was forthwith walked oil by a watchman. Hope.—A bright and beautiful bird is hope; it comes to us amid the darkness and the storm, and sings'the sweetest song when our spirits are saddest and when the lone soul is weary, and longs to pass away, it warbles its sunniest notes and lightens again the tender fibres of our heart that grief has been tearing away. Orientu! Anecdote. A certain man went to a Dervish, and proposed three questions—First—“ Why do they say God is omnipresent? Ido not see him in any place; show me where he is. Second—Why is tnan pun ished for crimes, since whatever he does proceeds from God? Man has no free will, for he cannot do any thing contra ry to the will of God; and if he had pow er, he would do every thing for his own good. Third—How can God punish Satan in hell fire, since he is formed of that element; and what impression can fire make on itself?” The Dervish took up a large clod of earth and struck him on the head with it. The man went to the Cazy and said: “ I proposed three questions to such a Dervish, who flung a clod of earth at my head, which made my head ache.” The Cazy hAVing sent for the Dervish, asked— “ Why did you throw a clod of earth at his head, instead of answering his questions ?” The Dervish replied— “ The clod of earth was an answer to his speech. He says he has a paid in his head ; let him show me where it is, and 1 will make God visible to him.— And why doc 6 he exhibit a complaint against me? whatever I did was the act of God, and I did not strike him without the will of God ; what power do I pos sess ? And as he is compounded of earth how cau ho suffer pain from that ele ment?” The man was confounded, and the Cazy highly pleased with the Dervish’s I answer, Texas—l’resident’s Xes-nRe. The following message of President Tyler, we copy from the Madisonian of the 11th inst. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESI DENT OF THE U. STATES. 71> l\t House of Representatives of the V. States: 'l’he Treaty negotiated by the Execu tive with the Republic of Texas, with out a departure from any form of pro ceeding customarily observed in the ne gotiation of treaties, for the annexation of that Republic to the United States, having been rejected by the Senate, and the subject having excited on the the people no ordinary degree of interest, I feel it to be my duty to communicate, for your consideration, the rejected trea ty, together with all the correspondence and documents which have heretofore been submitted to the Senate in its Exe cutive sessions. The papers communicated embrace not only the series aiready made public by orders of the Senate, but others from which the veil of secrecy lias nut been removed by that body, but which I deem to be essential to a just appreciation of the entire question. While the treaty was pending before the Senate, l did not consider it compatible with the just rights of that body, or consistent with the re spect entertained for it, to bring this im portant subject before you. The power of Congress is, however, fully competent, in some other form of proceeding, to ac complish everything that a former rati fication of the treaty could have accom plished; and I therefore feel that I should but imperfectly discharge my duty to yourselves or the country, if I failed to lay before you every thing in the posses sion of the Executive which would ena ble you to act with full light on the sub ject, if you should deem it proper to take any action upon it. I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude, and as addressing itself to interests cf an ele vated and enduring character. A Re public coterminous in territory with our own—of immense resources, which re quire only to bebronirht under the influ ence of our confederate and free system in order to he fully developed; promi sing at no distant day, through the fertil ity of its soil, nearly if not entirely to du plicate the exports of the country, thereby fnrfkinfc- «*» a«tefttrOTi to the carrying to an amount almost incalculable, and giving anew impulse of immerse impor tance to the commercial, manufacturing, agricultural'and shipping interests of the Union, and at the same time affording protection to ari exposed frontier, and placing the whole country in a condition of security and repose: a territory settled mostly by emigrants from the United States who will bring back with them in the act ot reciprocation an unconquerable love of freedom and an ardent attach ment to our free institutions. Such a question could not fail to interest most deeply in its success those who under the Constitution have become responsible for the faithful administration of public af fairs. I have regarded it as not a little fortunate that the question involved was no way sectional or local, but addressed itself to the interests of every part of the country, and made its appeal to the glory of the American name. It is due to the occasion to say that I have carefully reconsidered the objections which have been urged to immediate ac tion upon the subject without in any de gree having been struck with their force. It has been objected that the measure ol Annexation should be preceded by the consent of Mexico. To preserve the most friendly relations with Mexico; to concede to herjnot grudgingly but freely all her rights; to negotiate fairly and frankly with her as to the question ot boundary; to render her in a word, the fullest and most ample recompense for any loss she might convince us she had sustained, fully accords with the feelings and views the Executive lias al way enter tained. But negotiations in advance of annex ation would prove not only abortive, but might be regarded as offensive to Mexico and insulting to Texas. Mexico would not, I am persuaded, give ear for a mo ment to an attempt at negotiation in ad vance, except for the whole territory of Texas. Wltile all the world besides re gards Texas as an independent Power, .Mexico chooses to look upon her as a re volted province. Nor could we negoti ate with Mexico for Texas, without ad mitting that out recognition of her inde pendence was fraudulent, delusive, or void. It is only after acquiring Texas, that the question of boundary can arise between the United States and Mexico— a question purposely left open for negoti ation with Mexico, as affording the best opportunity for the most friendly and pa cificarrangements. • The Executive has dealt with Texas as a power independent of all others, both de facto and de jure. She was an inde pendent State of the Confederation of Mexican Republics. When, by violent revolution, Mexico declared the ( onfede ration at an end, Texas owed her no lon ger allegiance, but claimed, and has maintained the right for eight years to a I separate and distinct position. During ! that peried, no army has invaded her VOL. 11-NO 6. with a view to her re-conquest, and if she has not yet established her right to be treated as a nation independent de facto and de jure , it would be difficult to sav at what period she will attain to that con dition. Nor can we, by any fair or nnv legiti mate interference, he accused of violating any treaty stipulations with Mexico.— The treaties with Mexico give no guar antee of any sort, and are co-existent with a similar treaty with Texas. So have treaties with the most of the nations of the earth which are equally as much violated bv the annexation of Texas to the United States, as wan'd 1 »■ onr treaty with Mexico. The treaty is r- lv com mercial, and intended as Hu *ni ** tor more accurately and r;nin_ and securing the:frte i * <■ n, of each country. V, hot bed ft* ,: i <"»••• re implied or oh -d upon the-Govern ment of the Uni' States for successfully negotiating with at; in * mood*; .c power upon any wbj lation of sncl treo.'v, I cot?'oss my inabil ity to disc* !’. The objections.which have seen taken to the enlai inntofuui iervi:.** , v urged with much zeal against the acqui sition of Louisiana—and y* t the futility of such has long since been demonstrated. Since that period anew Power has been introduced into the affairs of the world, which has for all practical purposes brought Texas much nearer to the seat of Government than Louisiana was at the time of annexation. Distant regions are, by the application of the steam en gine, brought within a close proximity. With the views which I entertain on this subject, 1 should prove faithless to the high trust which the Constitution has devolved upon me if I neglected to invite the attention of the Representatives of the People to it, at the earliest moment that a due respect for the Senate would allow me to do so. I should find in the urgency of the matter a sufficient apolo gy, if one was wanting, since annexation is to encounter a great if not certain haz ard of final defeat, if something be not now done to prevent it. Upon this point I cannot too impressively invite your at terition to my message of the 16th May, and to the documents which accompany it, which have not heretofore been made public. If it be objected that the names jai the waiters o£,sqni2 of the private let ters are withheld, all I can say is, that it is done for reasons regarded as altogeth er adequate, and that the writers are per sons of the first respectability and citizens of Texas, and have such means of obtai nining information as toentitle their sen timents to full credit. Nor has any thing occurred to w eaken, but, on the contrary, much to confirm my confidence in the statements of General Jackson, and my ow.i statements made at the close of rhit message, in the belief, amounting almost to certainty, “that instructions have al ready been given by the Texan Govern ment to propose to the Government of Great Britain, forthwith, on the failure, (of the Treaty) to enter into a treaty of commerce, and an alliance, offensive aid defensive. 1 also particularly invite your attention to the letter from Mr. Everett, our Envoy at London, containing an account of a conversation in the House of Lord* which lately occurred between Lord Brougham and Lord Aberdeen in rela tion to the question of Annexation. Nor can I do so without the expression of some surprise at the language the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs employed upon that-occasion. That a kingdom which i3 made what it now is h seated acts of annexation, beginning • the time of the Heptarchy, and co 'brig with the annexation of the kin < sos Ire land and Scotland, should perceive any principle, either now, or its, in the late proceedings of the A•. :< •..> Execu tive iu regied to Tex; wc- c-,:ri:. led to exert stupri® If it be pretei mercial or ■ r .. < exist hetv - ‘ WW iry-.-, • h;' a right to • ,vitu its aov—• -•>;-ri that no th.ru power can change . iv - lations by a voluntary treaty of union or annexation, then it would seem to follow that an annexation to be achieved by force of arms be the prosecution of a just and necessary war, coqld in no way be justified; and yet it is presumed • that Great Britain would be the last nation in the world to maintain anj such doctrine. The commercial and political relations of many of the countries of Europe have undergone repeated changes bv volunta ry treaties, by conquest, and by participa tions of their territories, without any question as to the right, under the public law. The question, in this view of it can be considered as neither serious nor novel. I will not permit myself to believe that the British Minister designed to bring himself to any such conclusion ; but it is impossible for us to be blind to the fact, that the statements contained in Mr. Ev erett’s despatch are well worthy of seri ous consideration. The Government and people of the United Slates have never evinced nor do they feel any desire to interfere in public questions not aff.r ting the relations existing between the Suites of the American continent
