During the troubles in lie reign of Charles I a country girl catno to London in search of a place as a servant maid but not .-succeeding, she hired herself to carry out beer from a warehouse, and was one of those called tub women. Tlie brewer observingn good look ing girl hi tills low occupation took bur into his family as a servant aud after a short time married her. Ua died while she was yet a young woman and left hpr the bulk of Ids fmtuna. . The .business of brewing.dropped, and Mr. Hyde was recommended to the young woman as a skilful lawyer to arrange her hits, baud’s affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon finding tlie w idow’s fortune considerable married her f By this mat ringe there was no other Issue tlmn, a daughter, who was afterwards thv wife of James II and muthvrof Mary and Anno Quvens of England.

That migfity engine— the Press—fs surrounded by true glory and its effulgence extends nil over tho broad om- pire of tho mind illuminating tho darkest avenues of tho heart; nnd yet the printer— the man who toils at the lever oftbls soul-en lightening instrument—Is often robbed of its lmrd-rnrnod bread hv those whom he has de livered from mental hnndnge. and placed in a paradise fo lay ofTnnd grow fat upon the fruits nf hh» labor! Oh, you ungrat *ful sinners! if you havo hearts moistened with tlie dew of mercy, in stead of gizzards filed with gravel, take heed what I snv unto you.

A nation’s greatness is estimate^ by tho IntelHgeueo.and enterprise of its citizens; and ‘ho intolllgoiioo pf.tho pooplo is depondeut, in great degroo, upon their literary institutions. Tlio ago of arms has given place to the ago of thought} and physical power has yielded to tlio influence of mental effort. Gcnturles have tgndcd to bring about this result; .and .tiio pre8''nt ccntury is going far to carry tho great work to a high state of perfection. No cause lms so greatly tended to advance tho United Statcs’in wealth, population and Influence, as tho general diffusion of'knowl edge among tho people, and tho .consequent spread of intelligence, refinement and lovo of improvement. The systom of general educa tion which has been adopted "by many States, has been crowned with tlio happiest- results. Not only havo literature, tlionrts and sciences flourished among tho people, bnt tho resources of tho country havo boon developed by n spir it of internal frnprovomonts, by railroads, ca^ "nala; factories nnd" workshops. Tho hand of honest industry has received tlio recompense of its labors; and all clnssos of tho people havo partaken df the vast benefits resnlting from tho policy pursued.

Tho fallowing anecdote, in substance was related to me by a Revolutionary officer.— Whether it Is fa’nnded on fact or not, it Is characteristic of Yankee resolution nnd skill in stratagem ‘in those days that tried men’s houIr ’ and bodies too. A British warlike vessel of considerable farce was cruising off tbo coast of Connect!- cut for some days which was a sight not at alf agreeable to the Yankees on shore ; bnor of whom undertook to put a stopjte such in- sofanen. For tills purpose, be collected a crew of hardy, resolute fellows like, himself chartered a stout coasting vcrsoI. loaded tho deck to all appoorenco, with barrels, boxca &c. fit for tlio coasting trado. stowed hfs com rades below, well armed with cutlasses, pis tols and other implements fit for boarding and witli only hands enough on deck to work tho vessel set sail on this nd venturous expedition.

B.— Como along side, you rebel rascal, or I’JJ blow you sky high, Well I ipust I suppose, for them great blnc.k guns there look demotion pokerish ! Unon tliis Jonathan, taking advantage wind immediately ran foul of. nnd grappled tho British vessel; his crew immediately rushed upon deck proving to the surprise nnrf infinite astonishment of the British, that tho meat in the hold’wns all aiivo! They woro wholly unprepared for resistance, and sur« rendered at discretion. ‘Now. said Jonathan, haul down that cro rag' there from aloft, nnd we’ll hang up another one in Its place, with stars and stripes on’t nnd guess we’ll show you Stonington harbor about tho quickest This was then speedily accomplished, a much to the joy of the Yankees, as to tW chagrto and mortification of their captives, of It is told in history that Dido, a queen Tyro about eight hundred and seventy years before Christ; fled from that 'piaco upon, the Northern coast of Africa wliero she built Carthago.

There'Is no Southern State whloh lias done more for tho proper odncatlonof tlio public mind, than tlio State of Georgia Tlio duty of every citizen, In rofrrenco to oiir.collegosand other institutions of learning, is evident. Lit o'Ur tome institutions be pa, lionized in {preference to all others. Let t ho people ol Georgia nnd of tlio South, instead of sending their children nnd tliolr wards to for eign sections for. tho purposes of education determine to plaeo them within tho wnlls of our own Slnto institutions. This is manifest ly tho proper cours'o to pnrsuo. These Slate Institutions of Learning, whether mule or lo mate, are dependant upon tho South for their prosperity and endurance. No pupils como flom tho North to swell the classes of South ern Colleges They must lock nt homo for support, or nowhere. And tho South owes it to herSctf to support her own Home Institutions, as well ns her own Home Enterprises of overj character It is tlio duty of her citizens to do so, nnd tlio day will soon assuredly come, when ovory one of thorn may well feel proud that his patronage whether great or small, was made conducive to tliolr growth and prosper- ity. •I.

A\i The Dead Sea and Jordan Tho Rev. Dr. Odenheimer, In a Icltor from Jerlca, addressed to the Banner oftlio Cross, makes this beautftul allusion: Tlio contrast between the natural nppenr. rineii of tho Dead Sea and the Jordan was strongly symbolical of Hint part between their moral asphets, ds looked at by tho thoughtful Christian. Behind us was tho Dead Sea, perfectly enveloped in clouds, aud hidden from our view by tho mist and rain'; before us was tho Jordan and place of Chrbjt’s bap tism, with tho bow of promise resting above it. The ono spot marks the wrath of God against sin; tho othor declares the irifl'uitc mercy of God towards sinnora. Tho bitter wave that' roll's chore the doomed cities of tlio plain, may well ho covered with clouds and darkness;'thb refreshing stream that Jesus has (us our baptismal service says,) sunctifled, and in, and by it, "water to the mystical wash ing of sin," is most fittingly spanned by the sign olT love, bright and beautiful, as God’s lovo to mao is cci'taln.aqd unfailing. Now. "Now" is the constant syllable tlckllngfrom tho clock of tims. "Now” is tho watch-word of the wise. “Now" Is oh the- banner of the prudent." Let ua keep this little word alwnys in our mind; anil whenever any thing, presents Itself to ns in the shape of work, whether moot tal or physical., wo should do it with all our romeirinering that “Now” is the op)y light,', romeihbering that “Now” is the on)y time for us. It is indeed a sorry way to get through the would, by putting off till to-mor row, saying, “Then" I wilt'do.H. Nol this satires, and semi-scandalous ballads. All sprang from tlio people, hat wldlo Shakspcaro' nnd Burns bolongod to its iipper'slmtutp,' Bunyan appeared imitd Its lowest dregs, llko’ a new creation amid tlie slush of chaos.
