THE TWINS.
“/ will tell it you ns ’twits told to me."
In the autumn of I St!s, I had occasion to visit the
town of N , beautifully situated on the Connecti
cut river. My business led me to the house of B ,
a lawyer of three-score and ten, who was resting from
his labors and enjoying the fruits of a life strenuously
and successfully devoted to his profession. His draw
ing room was richly furnished and decorated with seve
ral valuable paintings. There was one rm >ng them that
strongly attracted my attention. It represented a mother
with two beautiful children, one in cither arm, a light veil
thrown over the group, anil one of the children pressing
its lips to the cheek of the mother. ‘This,’ said I, point
ing to the picture, is very beautiful—pray sir, what is
the subject?’ ‘lt is a mother and her twins,’ said lie,
•the picture in itself is deemed a tine one, hut I value it
more for the recollections which are associated with it.’
I turned my eye upon 1$ ; he looked communica
tive, and l asked him for his story. ‘Sit down,’ said he,
‘and l will tell it.’ We accordingly sat down, and he
gave me the following narrative:
“During the period of the war of the revolution, there
resided in the western part of Massachusetts, a farmer
by the name of Stcdinan.— He was a man of substance:
descended from a very respectable English family, well
educated, distinguished for great firmness of character
in general, and alike remarkable for inflexible integrity,
and steadfast loyalty to the king. Such was the reputa
tion he sustained, that even when the most violent an
tipathies against royalism swayed the community, it was
still admitted on all hands that farmer Stcdinan tiiough a
tory was honest m hisopinions and firmly believed them
to be right.
“The period came when Burgoync was advancing
from the north. It was :rtime of great anxiety with Loth
the friends and foes of the revolution, -and one which
called forth the highest exertions. The patriotic mili
tia flocked to the standard of Gates and Stark, while ma
ny of the tories resorted to the quarters of Burgoyne and
Baum. Among the latter was Stcdinan.— He had no
sooner decided it to be his duly, than he took a kind,
farewell of his w ife, a woman of uncommon beauty, gave
h.s children, a twin boy and girl, a long embrace,, then
mounted his horse and departed. He joined himself to
the unfortunate expedition of Baum, arid was taken with
other prisoners of war by the victorious Stark. lie did
not attempt to conceal his name or character, and both
wora >‘■><>ll discovered and he was accordingly conunitti and
o er- on as ii traitor. —Tue j il in which lie wascoufin
t;i, vs in t“i-■ Wi stern part of .Massachusetts, and near
-a t rmm is eo.r! : on. Trie fir • r was on • night

fu.i .to wave the pnsn .. In vain they expostulated
wi urn; m vatu they represented to him that his life
was at stake. His reply was, that ho was a true man,
and a servant of King George, and that ho would no.
creep out of a hole at night, and sneak away from the
rebels, to save bis neck trout the gallwos. Finding it
altogether fruitless to attempt to move him, his friends
left Inin with some expressions of spleen.
“The time at length arrived for the trial of the prison
er. The dist nice to where the court was sitting at that
time was about sixty miles.—Stedinan remark) and to the
sheriff', w c.i hecai-.e to attend him, that it would save
souk: expense and inconvenince, if he could be permit
ted to go alone and on f.wt. ‘Arid suppose,’ said the
sheriff‘you should prefer your safety to your honor, uud
leave me to seek you in the British eamp!’ ‘I had
thought,’ said tho farmer, reddening with indignation,
‘that I was spiakiug to one who knew me.’ ‘I do know
you indeed,’said the sheriff, ‘i spoke but in jest; you
shall have your way. Go, and on the third day I shall
expect to see you at I—) -. The farmer departed
and at the appointed time Jm: placed himself in the
hands of the sheriff'.
“J was now engaged eg his counsel. Stedinan insist
ed before the court upon telling Ins whole story; and
w hen I would have taken advantage of sonic technical
poults, he sharply rrhukeu me ai.d told me he had not
employed me to prevaricate, hut only to assist him in
telling the tiulli. I never heard such a display of sim
ple integrity. It was affecting to witness h.s loie ol
plain unvarnished truth, elevating him above every oth
er consideration, and presiding in his breast as a senti
mriUeven superior to the love of life.
“I saw the tears usorc than Sncc sprijgiiig to the ;
eyes of liis judges; never before or since, lur e I felt such
a.i interest in a client. I p ! ea<l for him as 1 should have
pieadeu for my own life. I drew tears, but I could not
sway the judgment of stern men, controlled more by
sense of duty than Uie compassionate promptings ot hu
manity. Stcdinan was condemned. I told him tnere
was a chance of pardon if he would ask it. I drew up
a petition and requested him to sign it, hut he refused,
‘i have done,’salt! no, ‘what I thought my duty. 1 can
ask pardon <.i ‘Jo- and u.y King, Uit ii would be hypo
crisy io ask forgiveness of these men for an action I
should repeat were I again placed ill similar circumstan
ces. No! ask me not to sign that petition. If what you
call the cause of American freedom, requires the blood
of an honest man, for the conscientious discharge of
what he deemed bis duty, let me be its victim. Go to
the judges and tell them I place not my fears nor my
nopes iu til. ui.’ It was in vain that I pressed the sub
ject, and I went away in despair.
“(An returning to my house, 1 accidentally called on an
acquaintance, a young man of brilliant genius, the sub
ject of a passionate predihction lor painting- This led
mm frequently to take excursions into the country tor
the purpose of sketching such objects and fccnes as
were interesting to him. i found him silling at ease,
giving the last touches to the picture which attracted
my attention. He asked my opinion of it. ‘lt is a fine
picture’ said I. ‘is it a fancy picture, or are they por
traits/’ ‘They are portraits,’said he, ‘and save ptrhaps
a little embellishment, they arc striking likenesses ot
the wife and children of youi unfortunate client, Stcd
man. In the course of my rambles, l chanced to call at
his own house in II . I never saw a more hi-auti.
ful group. The mother is one of a thousand, and the
tw ins are a pair of <?herubs.’
“Tell me,’said I, laying my hand on the picture,‘fell me
arc they true and faithful portraits of the w ife and chil
dren of Steelman!’ My earnestness made him stare. He
assuretl me as far as he could he permittc i to judge ofliis
own productions, they were striking representations. I
asked no further questions. I seized the picture and
hurried with it to the prison where my client was con
fined. 1 found him sitting, his face covered with his
hands and apparently wrung by keen emotion. I plac
ed the picture in such a position that he could not fail to
see it.—l laid the petition on the table by his side; and
left the room. In half an hour I returned. The farm
er grasped my hand, while tears stole down his check,
Ii is eyes glanced first on the petition. He said notlii ng,
hut handed the latter to me. I took it and left the apart
ment. He had put his name to it. The petition was
granted and Sledman set at lihcrtv.”
[From a Long Island (2V. I'.) Paper.]
LOW PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS.
In England every newspaper is required to be stamp
ed and to pay a heavy duty to the government; which
brings the price so high that the common people cannot
obtain them for their families. Every advertisement
also pays a duty to the government.
In this country weekly newspapers are froin'onc dol
lar and a half to two dollars and a half per year, being
Irom three to five cents per week. Each paper costs
tuc printer before it is printed one cent. He therefore
obtains trom two to five cents for his editorial duties 6r
for printing and distributing. This is extremely low,
and no similar quantity of print and paper can be afford
ed so low. It is the price paid for advertisements, which
keeps our newspapers alive and but for which they could
not, in some instances, be afforded at twice the price.
Thus the readers of newspapers get the cheapest of all
possible reading; and as respects common intercourse in
life, the best.
There are, happily, but few persons in this country,
who cannot afford to spend four or five cents a week for
the amusement of themselves and their families. How
ever numerous a family may be, the satisfaction derived
from a newspaper runs through the whole; and is often
ddfused through the neighborhood.
What father can deny his family this cheapest of all
gratifications, the most pure and pleasing source of in
telligence, which impresses good sentiment and good
language which fit them for life, and give solid informa
tion as lasting as life itself?
It is sometimes the case that two families will unite
m taking one news-paper, and in paying the small price
tj the printer. This is well where the families are in
very low circumstances; but not otherwise, for the fol
lowing reasons: Ist. The paper is taken away during
half the week,and all the family do not get a chance to
read it, which is particularly important as rqspccts the
children—lid. Only one of the families can keep the pa
per in regular files, which is an object of greater impor
tance than many imagine, as business or absence will
sometimes prevent some members of the family from
reading the paper during the week in which it is prin
ted, and they thusentirely loose tlie reading of such pa
pers. * * * ' * * * *
AID IN’ BUSINESS.
Whatever may he a man’s calling in life, a newspa
per aids his business. II he is a farmer, lie will see im
provements in plov ' top-, manuring, and cultivating Ins
ground—the o s: anon..: -the best f: cds—succession
of crops—improved machines. Tile advertisements will
aiso shew him where lie can best buy and sell. Me
cnanics will see improved machinery.—Merchants will
sec articles for sale—some things wanted and others of
fered. A milk man not long since, lost a bargain at an
auction, which would have paid for Ids paper ten years,
merely by not taking the paper in which the auction
was adiertiscd. lie came and subscribed for the pa
per and declared he would take it as long as he lived.
No time to read New.epapcrs.
All men will find time for every tiling that is gratifioa.
lion for them; and hence the complaint of ‘no time,’ is
in fact no taste for newspapers. Every man has time to
read a weekly paper, during a rainy day, or a long eve
ning or sometime while waiting for his meals. If he is
<ot a slave, he certainly can find time to improve his
mid, 11 is children undoubtedly have titno enough to
learn vice, and if he is not ambitious to ra.s : them above
a : level ol ignorance,they will certainly prove vicious.
1 lie most industrious pccpic always find time to read, it
is tile lazy and idle only who have no time, it is mys
terious how many people employ their time while not
it their business, and especially sotne'who do very little
business of any kind whatever. Such persons area
dunk in creation, and society feels no loss when they
drop away.

IN us much as the Drawing of the Union Hotel Property
1 Lottery is not completed, it is due to the Public to have a
plain etateciert of facts. Good Titles to prize holders, were
not published by ihe superintendents, till the *th day of last
September, (the time tlmLottery truly came before the Pub
lic; to be drawn tlieSfm day of December thereafter. It
was then postponed till the 2nd day of this month, and from
casualties could not be drawn. The proprietor in the first
time given, from tiie situation of his family, could not leave
Thomaston to sell Tickets till the sth day of December; and
iu the last time from the duties of office, could not leave till
after the 2nd Monday in January. Therefore he has not had
time to 3ell as many of the Tickets as he wishes. He will
here make no apology—hut still state facts. . He owes the
amount of the Lottery - ; and from the position of some of his
creditors, he 4s compelled to take the unsold Tickets. To
the others lie returns many thanks, and Could he bestow cash
as easy as thinks, he would have them all paid. It is to be
hoped that this indulgence will be allowed by a generous
public. He his placed thb drawing when the Tickets are soid
or most certainly the first of next January. It is the last no
tice he shall itiake, unless he draws before that time. The
drawing shall be final.
It is due to those who have bought Tickets to be informed
that the money is in the hands of respectable Agents, and iu
the hands of the Treasurer of the Sunerintendants. Who
will return it to purchasers, should the Lottery, by any unfor
scen circumstance, not be drawn.
The unsold tickets are offered with pride,
Then come forward and buy,
Dr the Proprietor will be nullified,
And you a FORTUNE, ship by.

The interest which is manifested throughout the State, to
be possessed of information relating to the interesting sec
tion known as the Cherokee country, and the importance of
all information that can bo obtained in regard to its geo
graphical position—the quality of its land—its boundaries,
water courses, roads, &c. has induced the publishers hereof,
at the entreaties of many persons, by industrious application,
and at considerable expense, to undertake the publication of
this little volume. They are flattered with the hope, that
its usefulness will be appreciated by all who are interested
in the acquirement of tliis important portion of our State.
The publishers feel assured that they do not over estimtna
the information it imparts, and the great convenience apa
facility, by which it can be acquired; and, altho’ there may
be inaccuracies in its descriptive character, (from the possi
bility that entirety correct returns were not always made by
the District Surveyors) yet, as it is the most correct that can
be obtained, without a personal know ledge ofevery lot, it must
be considered the best information the nature of the case
admits of. Os one fact, the reader is guaranteed, that this
Book Wears a correct and official stamp—as it was copied
with accuracy from tho Numerfcal Books, now of file in the
Executive Department of the State, after those Books were
thoroughly examined by the late Land Lottery Commission
ers. The accuracy and fidelity of the quality of each lot,
wai ascertained, by especial reference to the field notes of
the District Surveyors, and their detached plats. To these
desiderata, may he stated, that the No. of each lot, in its
district and section, by whom drawn, iti whose captains dis
trict, aud in what county, are equally, and .entirely authentic.
It must be a desirable object to both the. drawer, and the
purchaser, to have a Book of the kind we herewith submit to
the public; as it embodies in a compressed and in a portable
form, all the memoranda information which both purchaser
and seller could have, without occular knowledge or from
information dearly purchased, if procured otherwise.
The Book will contain a Numerical list of all the lots drawn
in the different sections of the Land Lottery, excepting such
as are returned third quality ; and if any of the third quality
has any improvement on it, such lot also will be embraced.
To each lot, will be affixed a letter a, b, or f, w hich desig
nates til-: quality; a for the first, h for the second, and e for
tiie third ; and have also attached the Nos. of acres improved
—the drawer’s name, the district in which he gave in as
tortun •• drawer, and the county in which he resides, and the
No. ot his lot, and tho district aud section in which it is loca
ted. \Y henever a district is not represented particularly,
the reader will learn that all the lots iu said district, (as in
the slh and other districts,) arc returned third quality—To
each district its boundary is stated, with some brief, but appli
cable remarks.
The publishers forbear any further exordium of this, their
“little effort '—prefering that its merit and usefulness shall
epoch more audibly its own praise. Such as it is, (aud it is
hoped, it will be pronounced good) is respectiuily dedicated
to the people, of Georgia, by THE PUBLISHERS.
Orders, (postage ptid.) enclosing Three Dollars, will he
promptly attended to. Address
