The Schoolmaster's Progress. —A hoy was
lately asked—“ Who killed Abol /” He
promptly replied, “General Jackson.”
This equals the catechetical exhibition of
a lad once living in the wildest region of the
Green Mountains:—“lnto what state did the
fall bring mankind ?” asked the teacher.—
With a most rueful expression of counten
ance, the urchin bawled hut, “Varinoimt!”
A small Matrimonial breeze. —“ Arrah Pat,
and why did I marry ye—just tell me that —
for it’s myself that’s had to maintain ye ever
since the blessed day that Father O'Flauna
gan sent me home to yer house!” “Swale
jewel,” replied Pat, not relishing the charge,
“and it’s myself that hopes I may live to sec
the day when ye’re a widow icapeing over the
cowldsod that covers inc—then by St. Patrick
I’ll see how ye get along without ine, itoney!”
“ I am glad,” said a missionary to an Indi
an chief, “that you do not drink whiskey;
but it grieves me to find that your people use
so much of it.” “Ah, yes,” said the red
man, and he fixed an impressive eye upon the
preacher,which communicated the reprojf be
fore he uttered it, “we indeed use a great
deal of whiskey but we do not .hake it.”
The following is related by Mr.Rush “Sir
Felton Ilarvey, aid-de-camp of the duke of
Wellington, had lost and arm in battle.—
Whilst one of the battles in Spain was raging,
the Duke gave hint an older to convey to an
other part of the field. Half across it a
French officer was seen galloping towards
hint. Sir Felton’s sword hung by his side,
though lie could not wield it; it was his right
arm he had lost, and the other held the bridle;
but he faced the foe looking defiance. As
tlrey swiftly drew near, the Frenchman raised
himself on his stirrups, his sword uplifted.—
Discovering very moment for the stroke,
lnsadversary to be defenceless, he brings down
his weapon in the form of a complimentary
salute, and rapidly passes on. lie gave his
salute in silence. This] was true cltiralrv.

A number of laborers, believers in Kidd’s
money, at work iri a field, accidentally dis
covered upon the top of a large stone, an in
scription in ancient characters, which, on de
ciphering, read as follows:
“ Take me up ami I’ll tell you more,”
Eager for the money, and entertaining no
doubt, of their being close upon it, they im
mediately set about raising the stone. After
tugging and toiling several hours, they final
ly succeeded, and with some difficulty read
on the bottom:
“ Fay me down as I was before.”

A New York paper giving the details of a
riot which occurred in that city, says that “ a

with being “■knocked into a cock'd lint," hut
this is the first time we ever heard of any one

Original Anecdote. — A gentleman of
this city, who is in the habitof instructing his
own children, was a few evenings since exam
ining his son in English Grammar; among
other things lie told his son, many nouns had
no plural, and that one was, gin. Soon after
the hoy had (iiiislffi! his task, his servant, an
liishtnan, who had overheard the above, went
lo his master and said, “ Your lienor, l believe
you made a small bit of a mistake, in telling
Master John that gin had no pural.” “ What
do you know Fat,” said, the father, “ about
grammar?” “lam a hit of a scholar mcsel,
your, honor, and gin lias jist as much a plural

THE HI MtiitY ABAC.
A TALE FROM THE TOIIFKT AT M.MAILS.
An Arab, who was travelling through
the desert, was almost exhausted with
hunger and thirst, when he unexpectedly
perceived a man who hail spread his cloak
upon the ground, and was taking his repast
with an excellent appetite. The Arab sa
luted him according to custom, and sat
down beside him. Whence comcst thou?”
asked thj stranger. •• From the village,”
replied the famished Arab, hoping that he
should be invited to partake. “ Hast thou
seen my house?” continued the former.—
“ Yes,” answered the Arab, “it is beauti
ful and magnificent, its roof reaches to the
sky, and its court is delightful as the plains
sos Faradise.”
Hast thou seen my shepherd’s dog?
O, yes! lie watches thy herds and thy
I flocks with such diligence that not a wolf!
dares to approach them.
Hast thou seen my son Chalid?
\es ; he was at school, and was reading!
to his master in the Koran with great flu
ency, and in a most impressive tone.
How is Chalid’s mother ?
As well as thou eanst wish ; and there;
is not a creature, either male or female, in
all ArabiS, who manages a house better,
or can weave more skilfully, or bears a i
higher character for mildness and benevo- j
lence.
Hast thou also seen my camel, that car- j
rics our water ?
Yes; it is in the best condition.
The man hearing all tiiis welcome in- 1
telligence concerning his wife, his son, and i
fiis property, wos so rejoiced that lie be
gan to eat with still greater appetite, but
ollcred tbe languishing Arab not a single
morsel. This unfortunate wretch, tor-;
mented witli the pangs of hunger, was now j
ashame and of his Hattery, said to himself, “1;
must attack this covetous and insatiable;
fellow in another way.” At this moment j
a dog came up, allured by the smell of the;
victuals ; lie stood and wagged his tail. j
“ Yes,” says the hungry Arab. “ if thy
dog were still alive, he would have wagged
his tail exactly in the same manner.”
“ Alas!” exclaimed tbe man, “is my
dog dead? How did he perish?”
By drinking the blood of thy camel,
said the Arab.
W hat! did my camel die too?
No, replied the Arab, they killed it lor
the funeral dinner of Chalid’s mother.
O, heavens! is Chalid’s mother dead?
Y es, answered the Arab.
Os what disorder did she die?
Os what disorder! she struck her head
with such violence against Chalid’s tomb,
tbul she died of the wound.
What! my son dead too?
A violent earthquake demolished thy
house, said the Arab, and lie was buried
beneath the ruins.
Grief and horror at this melancholy in
telligence deprived the stranger of his ap
petite; lie ceased to eat, rose from his re
past, left lus provisions behind him, and
hastened home with all possible dispatch,
while the hungry Arab sat down and re- ■
galed himself.
Dysentery. —A writer in the Advertiser
says:—“lt is not so generally known or recol
lected as it should be, that boiled milk, thick
ened with a little wheat flour is a:i uliqost
certain cure in all common cases, for thedy
sentry. It may be taken with safety in any
state of the disease, arid repeated until the cure
is effected. The writer lias had a pretty
numerous family for more than fifteen years,
and recommends this simple convenient rem
edy, from known ami long-tried experience-
THE MOTHER.
* * * 1 saw her large blue eyes!
swell with maternal tenderness,as she gaz
ed in all the plcntitude of a mothei’s love, |
upon the painful countenance of her silent,
imploring child. 1 saw her bursting bo
som heave with agonizing fear as site gen
tly pressed its little outstretched hand be
tween her own, and bathed it with her
tears. I saw her unwearied care antici
pate her infant’s wants untold by words,
but eloquently told by an infantile look, and
intuitively comprehended by a mother’s
love; and when her little suflerer slum
bered. 1 saw a mother’s care command a
mother’s grief; and half respiring, check
the rising sobbing of her soui, lest a lull
sigh should wake her sleeping babe. It
was then that busy memory gave to her
present pain a heightened anguish, and
shrouded in gloomy bodements the en
dearing prattling oi her child, its smiles of
timid triumph, as once its tottering feet
boro it from chair to chair, its suppliant
hands seeking maternal safety.
These and a thousand other endear
ments, rushed on her mind, and like a tran
sient light in some dark solitude, made
misery slill more poignant. The remem
brance of hours spent in the society oilier
child, gradually developing its bodily and
mental [x»\vers, imparted a saddened pleas
ure to its maternal nurse; when suddenly
a feeble groan dissolved her vision, for the
v ital taper of her clgld was fast sinking
into its socket. 1 ler stifled sigh now burst
in convulsive sobbing from ber bosom:
whilst v\ itii unutterable anguish her labor
ing soul gave the pure spirit of her child
to God. 1 sincerely participated i:i her
afllictions, and was silent in this scene of
wo,as 1 was unwilling to interrupt the sa
cred tribute of her grief, or unclasp that
firm embrace, which pressed a lifeless in-
tant to a mother’s bosom, for soon it would
be cradled in its coffin, and hushed in a
lonely mansion of the grave, over which
the winds of winter would howl its lul
laby. 1 thought as I witnessed her con
llietiug feeling, how kindly Frovidcucchad
implanted in a mother's bosom, that per
severing love which enabled her to bear
with unrepining fortitude, the various
cares connected with her childhood—and
that those men arc monsters who repay
with cold indifference the affectionate soli
citude that guarded their years of helpless
infancy. 1 felt a glow within my bosom,
a filial offering to the memory of my
mother, with a repentant sigh lest my
thoughtless boyhood may have given her
pain, unconscious of the sacred debt <>)
gratitude due to ihe fi clings of a purent.
An Electric Eel. —l was standing in the j
gallery of a house belonging to a half pay of-,
ficer (now a planter) when 1 observed a large
jar in the garden: 1 enquirred what it con- i
tained, an was to!d, and electric eel, “ but” ,
said my friend, “ I have had it a longtime, it
is sickly, and has entirely lost its electrifying
powers.” I went to examine it, and saw a
brown, flat headed broad-failed cel, four or five
feet long, with a look of “ noli me tangere ,”
moving slowly round the inside of tho jar.
Tiie planter then taking np a piece of old iron
hoop, said in an off handed manner, “If you
touch him with this, you will perceive he has
!< t all his power.” I did so, and was nearly i
knocked flat on my back ; the shock uas most
severe, though the eel did not appear to he
the least agitated; of course iny friend was!
highly delighted.
.Scenes of great diversion arc occisioncu ;
among the English sailors who come to S;a
breok, by electric eels; they are told to bring!
them to be cooked. Jack bares his arm, and
plunges his band into the jar, and in a mo-!
ment icccivcs a shock which benumbs him;;
lie looks round in wild amazement, and then
at the cel, ail the while rubbing his elbow. I
“ Try again, Jack, for a bottle of ruin :” he!
does so, grasps the eel firmly, grins and swears
at “ the beggai,” receives shock after shock, 1
drops the oci in despair, and runs oli'as if the
devil had struck him. A little dog was!
thrown into the jar one day in which there i
was an electric and was so paralyzed that
it sunk helpless to the bottom, and was got out j
alive with some difficulty; and a horse that
attempted to tir ink out of the jar was imme
diately thrown hack on its haunches, and gal-,
loped off with mane and tail on end snorting |
with terror.— Alexanders Sketches.

SUPERIOR COURT, JUNE TERM, 1833.
Extract from the Presentments of the Grand Jury.
rgNI'K Grand Jurors, selected and sworn for the
A county aforesaid, present the custom of consi
dering all stock cattle over one year old, and not
i marked, as free property, and instead of tolling of
them as the law directs, whoever will, may mark
and brand them as his ow n property. In relation
j to this practice, we forbear to present individuals,
but we w ill do every thing in our power lo reform
| the above abuse of correct principles—we thcre
; lore hope the above practice will cease.
We again have to complain of the remissness
in the Commissioners and Overseers of roads, al
though we do not think it advisable to make per
sonal presentment—yet by all other means, to sti
mulate them to a more strict attention to their du
ty, and particularly the Commissioners of tbe
Flint River road; and we hope that they will, at
; least, keep the old lugs out of tbe road, which is
all that is required.
We would also request our magistrates to be
more strict in appointing patrols, and seeing that
they do their duty, and particularly the Justices of
the Peace at the junction of Flint and Chattahoo
chee.
Weaslo present the w hole Caravan of show
men of every description—they are a pest to ihe
I community, and to the government, exempt from
every public burthen, and are at best a parcel of
i vagabonds in every sense of the word. We
I therefore hope ourfellotv-citizens will ere long re
fuse them support, which is the only thing that
can free the community front them.
We also feel it to be our privilege, if not a pub
lic duty, to declare our sentiments in relation to
the amendments of tlu- Constitution of this Elate,
proposed by the late Convention, and submitted
to the people for tln ir ratification. We must be
j permitted to enter our Protest to that part of the
' amendment which changes tbe basis of represen
tation. We think the change wholly improper,
and contrary to the best interests of the Southern
States, and should be rejected ; and without in
tending any disrespect to the Delegates, or any
portion of them, lately assembled in Convention,
under the restrictions of an oath to touch no part
of the Constitution, except so far as to reduce and
equalize the representation of tbe people in the
General Assembly, w : e take the liberty of expres
sing our opinion, that the change of the original
basis was not among the powers with which the
Convention was invested.
In taking leave of his honor Judge Wahuo,
we take the liberty of bearing him record, that
his official conduct lias met our entire approba
tion ; and to the Solicitor General, we tender our
thanks lor bis polite attention to our body during;
tbe present term, and assure him that his conduct
generally meets our approbation.
We request the foregoing presentments to be
published in all tbe Milledgeville papers.

INTEND COMMENCING ON THE FIRST OF JANRAY 1»33, A
SEMI-MONTHLY PUBLICATION, TO BE CALLED
The JYovelisVs t Wagazinc. m
’VX) branch of the lighter, literature of the
it sent age offers a wider field, or greater va
riety for selection, than those works familnirly
known as Romances and Novels. Theunbound
cd encouragement which these have receivced,
have induced many of the most gifted writers to
eugage in their composition, and they have in
consequence, attai;*d a degree of merit and ex
cellence which, with a few splendid exceptions,
were until the present century, entirely unknown.
Amongst the great mass of Novels which are
eenstantly in course of publication, there are of
couree some which are very superionr to the oth
ers. To select these and present them to tiie
reading community in a neat, popnlor and con
venient form, with greater expedition and at less
cost than they can be furnished by the book-stl
lers, is the principle object of the proposed publi
cation ; an object wliicu the publishers are satis
fied they can accomplish more easily than any
oincr persous. on account of the extraordinary
facilities which they enjoy.
Besides a constant and direct iuterccurse with
the London publishers, through which they arc
enabled to receive the latest British Novels, as
soon as they can be transmitted to this country,
they are connected with the most extensivs print
ing establishment in Philadelphia, and can re
print in the shortest period any work they may
choose to undertake. If, for example, they
should wish to furnish as part of their regular se
ries, any New English Novel, they c u do so at
as early u date as any American bookseller, so
that distant subscribers may receive it simultane
ously with the bookseller’s republication in the
larger cities, and at but a trifling expense of pos
tage.
in selecting works for this publication, none
will be taken bat those which convey both grati
fication and instruction ; and especially such as
have the charm of freshness and interest. ?f
these objects cannot be accomplished from the
abundant supply of the modern press recourse
may be had to those sterling productions of u for
mer age. wiiich being almost entirely out of print,
are comparatively but little known, and, in some
cases, would be found more attractive than most
of those which are of more recent origin.
As the Novellist’s Magazine, though intended
expressly lor preservation, will he furnished to
subscribers in pamphlet form, it will be conveyed
by mail to the most distant places, and at a very
moderate expense of postage. It will furnish a
large amount of agreeable, useful, and improving
reading, for less than one fifth of the price at
which tbe same might be otherwise obtained,
and with little or no trouble-to the subscriber. —
To families resident in tbe country, remote from
tbe Atlantic towns, this publication will be parti
cularly serviceable, as supplying their literary
wants in tbe best method that could be devised.
Determined to use every available means of
S making tbe Novelist’s Magazine interesting ami
; valuable to subscribers, and for the further pur
; pose of giving Encouragement to American wri
| ters to stimulate their exertions, the publishers
! propose a premium of
I*7oo TO THE AUTHOR
Os itse Ztcsi aYorel,
Upon a National subject, which shall be present
ed on or before the Ist of October, 1833:
This premium will be awarded by a committee,
to be chosen for the purpesc, and as it is presum
ed the successful competitor will possess unusu
al merit, the publishers of the Novelist’s Maga
zine, besides using it for that work, engage to
have it printed in handsome hook form, corres
ponding to the Best Loudon Editions of popular
novels. For every thousand copies of the work
thus printed, which may be sold, the author shall
receive, in addition to the Five Hundred dollars,
FIFTY DOLLARS, or five dollars for every
hundred.
(tj Toose novels presented for tbe premium
which snail prove unsuccessful, will bn returned,
to their respective authors, the publishers claim
ing no control ever any but that to which the
prize may be awarded.
All writings intended as competitors for ibis
premium, must be conveyed free of postage, to
be addressed to the publishers, prior to the Ist of
October 1833.
The NovslisGs Magazine will be published in
semi monthly numbers—each number containing
forty-eight extra imperial octavo pages, with I
double columns, arranged after tbe manner of I
the Lady’s Book : to which work, though it will

pages each, and at the expiration of every six !
months, or thirteen numbers, subscribers will be
furnithed with a handsome title page and tablet
of contents. The whole amount of the matter ]

than fifty volumes of the common sized English :
duodecimo books. Tbe paper upon which the j
Magazine will be printed, will be of tbe finest!
quality used for book work, and a size elegantly,
adapted for binding. As tbe type will lie entire-!
ly new, and of a neat appearance, each volume j
when bound, will furnish a handsome as well as,
valuable addition to tbe liberties of those who I
patronize the werk.
