AN AFFECTING FICTURE. '
The following extract from one of the late
numbers of Master Humphrey’s Clock, is re
markable for its simplicity, and its pathos.—
Nelly and her aged grandfather in their wan
derings were hospitably entertained at the
domicile of a village schoolmaster, who was in
great distress on account of the illness of a
little hoy, his best scholar—one for whom he
seems to have entertained a more than parent
al affection. He gives his pupils a half holi
day—and leading little Nelly by the hand,
proceeds to the humble dwelling where his
little favorite lay on the bed of sickness:
“They stopped at a cottage door: and the
schoolmaster knocked softly at it with his
hand. It was opened without loss of time.—
They entered a room where a little group of
women were gathered about one, older than
the rest, who was crying very bitterly, and sat
wringing her hands, and rocking herself to
and fro.
‘Oh, dame!’ said the schoolmaster, drawing
near her chair, ‘is it so bad as this?’
‘He’s going fast,’ cried the old woman; ‘my
grandson’s dying. It’s all along of you. You
should’nt see him now, but for his being so
earnest on it. This is what his learning has
brought him to. Oh dear, dear, dear, what
can I do.’
‘Do not say that I am in fault,’ urged the
gentle schoolmaster. ‘I am not hurt, dame.—
No, no. You are in great distress of mind,
and do not mean what you say. I am sure
you don’t.’
‘I do,’ returned the old woman. ‘I mean
it all. If he hadn’t been poring over his books
out of fear of you, he would have been well
and merry now, I know he would.’
The schoolmaster looked round upon the
o^l^pi. Dinon, q.3 it to cntreuL some uhc uuiuu”
them to say a kind word for him, but they
shook their heads, and murmured to each
other that they never thought that there was
much good in learning, and that this convinced
them. Without saying a word in reply, or
giving them a look of reproach, he followed
the old woman who bad summoned him, (and
who had now rejoined them,) into another
room, where his infant friend, half dressed, lay
stretched upon a bed.
He was a very young boy, quite a little
child.—His hair hung in curls about his face,
and his eyes were very bright; but their light
was of heaven, not of earth. The schoolmas
ter took a scat beside him, and stooping over
the pillow, whispered his name. The boy
sprung up, stroked his face with his hand,
and threw his wasted arms around his neck,
crying out that he was his dear, kind friend.
‘I hope I always was. I meant to he God
knows, said the poor schoolmaster.
<\Vlv> :» twr saiil the tioy, seeing Nell.—
“I am afraid to kiss her lest I should make
her ill.—Ask her to shake hands with me.’
The sobbing child came closer up, and took
the little languid hand in hers. Releasing his
again after a time, the sick hoy laid him gent
ly down.
‘You remember the garden, Harry, whis
pered the schoolmaster, anxious to rouse him,
for a dullness seemed gathering upon the
child, ‘and how pleasant it used to be in the
evening time. You must make haste to visit
it again, for I think the very flowers have miss
ed you, and arc less gay than they used to be.
You will come soon my dear, very soon now;
won’t you.’
The boy smiled faintly—so very, very faint
ly—and put his hand upon his friend’s gray
head. He moved his lips too, but no x’oice
came from them; no, not a sound.
In the silence that ensued, the hum' of dis
tant voices borne upon the evening air, came
flowing through the open window. “What’s
that 1’ said the sick child, opening his eyes.
‘The hoys at play upon the green.’
He took a handkerchief from his pillow,
and tried to wave it above his head. But the
feeble arm dropped powerless down.
‘Shall I doit?’ said the schoolmaster.
‘Please, wave it at the window,’ was the
faint reply. ‘Tie it to the lattice. Some of
them may see it there. Perhaps they’ll think
of roe, aiid look this way.’
‘He raised his head, and glanced from the
flattering signal to his idle ball that lay with
slate and book and other boyish property,
upon a table in the room. And then he laid
him down softly once more, and asked if the
little "irl was there, for he could not see her.
She stepped forward and pressed the pas
sive hand that lay upon the coverlet. The
two old friends aud companions—for such they
were, though they were man and child—held
each other iu a long embrace, and then the
little scholar turned his face towards the wall,
and fell asleep.
The poor schoolmaster sat in the same
place, holding the small cold hand in his, and
chaff no- it. It was hut the hand of a dead
child. ° He felt that and yet he chafed it still,
and could not lay it down,’
Contentment*—“Contentment is a pearl of
great value, and whoever procures it at the
expense of ten thousand desires, makes a
wise and happy purchase.”
Sunset.—“Beautiful is the dying of the great
sun; when the last song of the birds fades into
the lap of silence; when the islands of the
rlonds are bathed in lieht, and the first star
springs up over the grave of day:”
jLope.-—I distinguish four seasons in love.-—
First comes love before betrothal—of Spring;
then comes the summer, more ardent and
fierce which lasts from our betrothal to the
altar- the third, the richly laden soft and
dreamy autumn—the honey-moon; and, after
it, the winter, bright clear winter, when you
take shelter by your fire-side from the cold
world without and find every pleasure there.
The editor of the Picayune thus defends the
Creole girls against the boasts of an eastern
editor respectingthe “Green Mountain lasses.”
Hear him:
“We throw down the glove to this fellow,
and challenge him to mortal combat if he does
not instantly confess all that lie uttered is bom
bast, and at the same time admit that the Cre
ole girls of Lousiana are the loveliest and most
fascinating creatures in the universe! Their
eyes are bright as the stars of night, and their
hearts as warm as their own sunny sky. With
out ‘clinching’ a fellow, they can set his heart
bumping, his head swimming, his veins burn
ing, his fingers itching, his heels dancing, his
nerves trembling, his hair standing and his
mouth watering! They can do all this with
a single glance, and never ‘shed a tear.’ Just
like winking’ they make captives, and ‘without
winking’ they conquer all before them. They
are angels—that is, they would be if we would
let them; but we, wishing them to he women,
with heavenly sweetness they condescend to be
mortal just to oblige us. The Creoles can’t
help being beautiful. It is not their fault, poor
things. If a foreign enemy was fired by their
charms to come here for ‘beauty and booty,’
why, did not the flashing of their dark eyes at
once enkindle indignant fires in their fathers
and brothers to drive the insolent invaders
back? The girls of Louisiana are the mellow
est fruit of Eden, and not ‘forbidden fruit’ ei
ther, and just the fruit to our taste, too. Let
tliisman who talks about Green Mountain girls,
come and stand before us, and ask pardon for
the strange hallucination of his ideas. Let
him prostrate himself before Creole beauty,
and it will be happiness for him to melt in the
sunbeam of Creole forgiveness.”
BEAUTIFUL COINCIDENCE.
During the morning service, on Sunday last,
at Christ Church, Salem street, an incident oc
curred which would have been interpreted by
the ancients, as a signal of Divine approba
tion. The Rev. Mr. Marcus of Nantucket, the
officiating minister, gave out to be sung, the
48th Psalm, in which is the followina stanza:
The birds more happy far than I,
Around thy temple throng;
Securely there they build, and there
Securely hatch their young.
Whilst he was reading this Psalm, a dove
flew in at one of the windows, and alighted on
the capitol of one of the palasters, near the al
tar, and nearly over the head of the reader.—
A note of the Psalm and Hymn to be sung
had been previously given, as is customary to
the choir, otherwise it might have been sup
posed that there was a design in the selection,
for the minister announced for the second sing
ing the 76th hymn, commencing.
Come holy spirit, heavenly dove,
With all thy quickening powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In tlvese cold hearts of ours.
The preacher was unconscious of the pre
sence of the bird, until the close of the ser
vice; and then the innocent visiter was suffer
ed to “depart in peace.”—Boston Transcript.
A GOOD [ft?-] HAND.
In the endless variety of /mud-writing to be

there seems to be some difference of opinion,

When a fair lady sends a fail iidlc, aiill i n
quests the pleasure of your company to tea on
a given evening, that is doubtless a fair ft?.
When a man writes you that unless you pay

hours, he will send you to jail, that may be
called a plain ft?. When a gentleman sends
you an exceedingly polite note, only demand
ing the satisfaction of blowing out your brains,
that is denominated an honorable ft?. When
a lady writes a billet-doux, with a quill pluck

fine, delicate stroke, as to be inadvisable, ex

a lovely ft?. The Lord’s prayer, written in

A ft? which is frequently placed at the bot

vile and course it may appear, is a very pro
mising ft?. One which after writing a long,
lean, soporific article, requests an Editor to fa
vor the public with the sublime squeezing of
an empty noddle, is, to say the least, a very
impudent ft?. The gentleman, again who
writes to the same humble servant of the pub

to a newspaper, and makes it a point of for
getting the postage, (by the unanimous opin

Extract of a letter from the Post Master at
Cassville, Geo., dated Feb. 18th, 1841.
“SIR: This letter will inform you, that a
man by the name of L.'W. Hudson, who came
to this place a few days since, died suddenly
immediately after his arrival here. The only
reason why I believe he is from your place, I
found several bills about his person, dated
Hamburg, S. C., and one or two letters direct
ed to that place. If you should know the
whereabouts of his residence, and let his peo
ple know of it, perhaps you will be doing them
a favor. He gave no name nor said but few
words.”
The deceased, we believe, is from Sanders-

having worked for some time in our office.

that brother Yarborough has been caught a

our opinion that he could see as far into a mill

JEFFERSON’S ELECTION IN 1800.
This circumstance (the memorable equality
of votes cast for Jefferson and Barr,) revived
the hopes of the Federal party. It had not
elected its candidate, but it bod in its power to
decide the evenly suspended balance, by
throwing its weight in favor of one of the two
candidates designated by the adversaries; and
to obtain as the price of its aid from the Presi
dent whose triumph would be due to it, con
cessions, perhaps even a part in the adminis
tration. There was no room for hesitation be
tween the two candidates, when the question
was of bargaining about principles. Jeffer
son, a man of Roman integrity, in the days
when civil virtue was honored by Borne,
would have spurned a support offered at the
price of the slightest sacrifices of his political
creed. With him, no compromise—-the tri
umph of Democracy, without condition, with
out modification! The chiefs of the federal
party cast their eyes upon Col. Burr. He had
never given to his party those sacred pledges
of the proud elevation of his opinions, which
a man sacrifices, only in sacrificing with them
his honor as well as all his future hopes. He
had never written his political faith in the
very instrument that marked the birth of the
nation. Devoted to continual study, to patient
meditation, Jefferson desired not power for
his own sake; for his adversaries, his enemies
—(the man faithful to the people has no adver
saries, but only enemies)—knew his whole
life. That life, in all that regarded his politi
cal and religious opinions, had been all open
and transparent. . He avowed his opinions
and his faith with no fear of consequences.—
They knew him to be ambitious, hut of that
noble ambition which is virtue. At the pre
ceding presidential election, he wrote to his
friends to prefer Adams to himself—“my el
der in years,” he said, “and my elder in public
affairs.” This self-denial was a consequence-
of his principles. He rejected power, be
cause he believed that government must be in
harmony with the opinion of the masses; that
the public opinion had not yet reached the
level of his opinions. But on this occasion
the people had raised him to the Chief Magis
tracy, as an expression of the system of gov
ernment which it wished to establish; and
and thenceforward his mission became an ap-
ostleship—he wished to accomplish it without
a stain of apostacy! With such a man no
possible compromises! The details are not
known of the negotiations which took place
between the Federal party and Colonel Burr;
but before he had accepted their support,
Livingston his friend—belonging, like himself,
to New York—addressed him a letter inviting
him to authorize him to inform Congress that
he recognized the will of the people to have
been to elevate Thomas Jefferson to the Chief
Magistracy, and to entrust to him the second
rank only; that he should decline, the Presi
dency if it should be conferred on him by a
vote which would be in contradiction to the
wishes of the people. Burr’s answer was
evasive; and from that moment he lost the es
teem of the Democratic party. This is not
the place to speak either of that memorable
election, or to the change to which it led in
the Constitution, relative to the mode of elect
ing the President and Vice President. The
event of that epoch belongs to the domain of
history, and I am writing only reminiscences.

above boat near Apalachicola Bay, an account
of which we find in a letter published in the
Charleston Courier of the 5th mst. The letter
is written by David Ewart, a passenger on
board the steamer James Adams, Capt. Chace,
who rescued six of the unfortunate sufferers
who were discovered od the beach where they
had landed from the small boat in which they
made their escape when the steamer sunk.
It appears that on the 6th of Feb. the
steamer Lamplighter, Capt. Woods, sailed
from Mobile Bay for Cedar Keys, and Tampa
Bay, with a crew consisting of Capt. Woods;
Swift, <»oto,- English Eng; Davids, 2d En
gineer; four firemen, all Germans; 6 deck
hands, names not known; 1st and 2d cooks
and steward, names not known; Wm. Wibble,
a ship carpenter. The 2d cook was a black
man.
Passengers—Lieut. Cost and lady, Mobile;
Mr. Cost, his brother, do.; Mr. Hudson and la
dy, Buffalo, N. Y.; Andrew Dargan, Mobile;
Capt. L. G. Morton, Apalachicola; and a black
girl, about 15 years of age.
After reaching Dog. Island toward the east
end of Apalachicola Bay, on the 14th ult. cast
ing anchors and waiting for assistance until the
Saturday morning following, when It com
menced blowing a gale, it was discovered that
the Lamplighter, could not survive the gale
many minutes. At 12 o’clbck at night the two
boats were launched, six persons getting into
one boat and three in the other. The letter
proceeds:
While arrangements were making to take
the rest on board the boats, the steamer sunk,
amid the cries and lamentation of those who
sunk in a watery grave to rise no more until
the last trumpet sounds, and the sea shall
give up its dead. It was with, great difficulty
the persons on board the small boats extricated
themselves, during the hurry and confusion
incident on such occasions, to cut the fasten
ings so as to prevent the small boats from sink
ing with the steamer. The nine men and the
two boats were le$,?o the mercy of the ele
ments, without chart, compass, provisions, or
water. They were separated, and drove by
the winds and the sea to the eastward. Of
the six in one boat, the steward and a deck
hand, perished with cold on the second day;
one in the morning and the other in the eve
ning. Of the three men in the next boat, tbe
black man perished with cold the second night
—the thermometer at2S deg. Oo the third day,
both the boats met at sea. The two who re
mained in the smaller, went into the larger
boat, which ran before the wind until Wed
nesday morning, when they reached land in
search of water, but found none before the
next day, having fasted from Saturday until
Thursday.
The names of the six persons saved, and
now on board the James Adams, are—Capt.
Woods; Mate, Thos. D. Swift; Engineer, S.
J. English; A Dickhand; John Maares; Capt.
Andrew Dargan, of Mobile; Capt. L. G. Mor

shortly after the accident to die latter boat
occurred, and that he was requested to pro-

being under an engagamedt tohind some play
actors at a certain time in Apalachicola, he
refused to do : so. By this inhuman conduct
EIGHTEEN valuable lives were sacrificed
which he had it in his power to save. For
the cause of humanity we hope Captain P.
will he able to give some better reason for his
conduct than above stated.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN BIBB.
According to previous notice, a number of
thc Democratic Republican party of this coun
ty* met at the Court-House on Saturday thw
6th inst., for the purpose of appointing Dele
gates to represent the county of Bibb in the
Young Men’s Convention, to be held on the
first Monday in May next, in MilledgeviUe.
On motion of Dr. B. Franklin, Col. David
C. Campbell was called to the Chair, and C. A.
Ells appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained
by the Chair, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were offered by John B. Lamar
Esq.
Whereas, afea% meeting of the Democratic
Republican party held in Milledgeville, in De
cember last, a call was made upon the Young
Men of Georgia to assemble in Convention at
MilledgeviUe. on the first Monday in May, to
adopt measures for the advancement of Demo
cratic principles.
And Whereas, having an increased & increas
ing faith in the rectitude of those principles, we
feel a renewed energy to support and defend
them. And so far from feeling dismayed at the
result of past elections, they only ser, e as in
centives to nerve us to more perseverance and
zeal in that cause; & more loyal devotion to its
great tenets. Inthem we will confide in the deep
est trough ings of tbe political sea; an our faith
cannot be shaken in the potenee of their truth,
to bear us to the highest crested wave of suc
cess.
In the mutations of human affairs, it is not
tanusual to see tbe most unprincipled, exalted
to temporary prosperity; and the most virtuous
depressed by fortuitous circumstances to the
depths of misfortune. But who repines in in
dolence and impeaches the inscrutpble decrees
of Providence. Andalthough the Democratic
cause has met a momentary check, its course
is yet onward. A firm reliance on its princi
ples, united with vigilance and perseverance,
cannot fail of succeeding.
We have ever believed that a party to he
permanently respectable and prosperous, must
have certain fixed principles, based on the im
mutable elements of truth and right. Princi
ples which they will adhere to through good
and evil report, defying alike the syren smiles
of prosperity and the despotic frowns of ad
versity, to allure or ftri ve them from tfcoir de
votion.
Therefore Resolved, That our faith in tin,
principles of the Democratic party, as con
densed in the Resolutions of the Baltimore
Convention, is fixed and immovable.
Resolved, That we his-hly approve of the oh-
_ e —»— Men sUonvcuc. wm
use all honorable exertions to promote its suc
cess.
Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a Com
mittee to make choice of a delegation to re
present Bibb county, in the Young Men’s
Convention, to be held in MilledgeviUe, on the
first Monday in May. And it shall he the du
ty of that Committee to make a report at a
future meeting to he called by the Chairman.
Resolved, That our friends in the several
counties, are requested to take early measures
to be represented in the Young Men's Con
vention.
The meeting was then addressed in sup
port of the Resolutions, by Col. John Lamar,
in an able and eloquent manner.
After which on motion, the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
The Chairman appointed the followingCom-
mittee:
J. B. Lamar, A. P. Powers,
T. M. Furlow, J. J. Bennett,
Dr. Jas. Green, James Willingham,
Col. Ossian Gregory.
On motion of Col. A. P. Powers,
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be signed by the Chairman and Secreta
ry, and be published in the Macon Telegraph.
D. C. CAMPBELL, Chairman.
C. A. Ells, Secretary.
Extra Session.—The Richmond Whig of
Wednesday says : “ We understand that Gen.
Harrison makes no secret of his determination
to caU an extra session of Congress, probably in
May, and that the necessity for doing so has
urged itself upon his mind for several months
past.”
Now here Is a pucker. Mr. Clay resolved
on an extra session before he left home. Coi.
Toon (Harrison’s aid) duly announced it at
headquarters, iu the Cincinnati Republican.—
The Legislature of Kentucky, according to
Mr. Clay’s order, changed its election law so
as to suit it to the occasion. General Harri
son arrives at Baltimore, where he proclaims
it; goes to Richmond, and there it seems “he
makes no secret of his determination.” In the
mean time, the wise ones in council here, dis
covering that there is no pretext to justify it,
and that tbe attempt to hurry through a Na
tional Bank—the distribution of the national
domain, and in effect, make a bold revolution
in the Government, without permitting the
voice of die people to be heard at all, is a
hazardous thing; and we learn that it is doubt
ful whether they will allow Harrison to make
the call, to reconcile his wise Virginia friends,
to which, was probably part of his errand
there.
Hope.—“Hope is a flatterer, but due most
upright of all parasites; for she frequents the
poor man’s hut as well as the palace of his
superior.”
Memory.—“Yea, memory! thou art indeed
a blessing and a curse! Sweet it is, when the
wings of evening brood over tbe drowsy
hearth, to hear thy gentle whisper, as thou j
comest on velvet foot telling of days of by
gone pleasure, and scenes whose little rough
ness have been softened down by the nice
touch of distance; hut bitter as the sick man’s
draught, yet full as wholesome, to hear that
whisper changed to the harsh voice of up
braiding, when thou chargest us with deeds
whose harshness Time’s finger cannot smvRh-
er.
A Hint.—“Recollect Sir,” said a tavern-
keeper to a gentleman- who was about leaving
the boose without paying his reckoning. “Re
collect if yon lose your purse, you did not pull
Root here!”
'Envy is like a sore eye, inflamed
by every thing brilliant or dazzling.”
Friendship.—“Friendship is to esteem, what
the flower is to the stem that sustains it.”
