GLEATON. Pindertown, Feb. 28, 1841. 38—It Thought.—“Thoughts that the tongue takes hours to tell, glance quick as lightning through the soul.” 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.

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. —Bern Review for Oct. Wreck of the steamer Lamplighter—Dis- tressins Toss of Lives!—We are pained to re ceive tbe coiluriuauuu ui me • ifiim ..c .1 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.

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.”
