I'ower of Eloquence.
The accomplished skeptic, Chesterfield, was
present when Whitfield presented the rotary
of sin under the figure of a blind beggar, led
by a little dog. The dog bad broken his
string. The blind cripple with his staff be
tween both hands, groped his way unconsci
ously to the side of a precipice. As be felt
along with his staff, it dropped down the de
scent, too deep to send back an echo: he
thought it on the ground, and bending for
ward took one careful step to recover it. But
he trod on vacancy, poised for a moment,
and as he fell headlong—Chesterfield sprung
from his scat, exclaiming “ By heaven, lie’s
gone!”

llow much nicer people are in their per
sons than in their tninds. How anxious are
they to wear the appearances of wealth and
taste in the tilings of outward show’, while
their intellects are all poverty and meanness.
See one of the ape? of fashion, his coxcom
bries and ostentations of luxury. His clothes
must be made by the best tailor, his horse
must be of the best blood, his wines of the
finest ilavor, his cookery of the highest zest;
but his reading is of the poorest frivolities,
or of the lowest anil most despicable vulgari
ty. In the enjoyment of the animal senses
he is an epicure ; but a pig is a clean feeder
compared with his mind: and a pig would
eat good am! bad, sweet ami foul alike, but
his mind has no taste except" for the most
worthless garbage. The pig has no discrim
ination and a great appetite : the mind which
we describe has not the apology of voracity;
it is satisfied with little; but the little must
he of the worst sort, and every thing ol a bet
ter quality is rejected by it with disgust. If
we could see men’s minds as wc see their bo.
•lies, what a spectacle of nakedness, deformi
ty, and disease it would he! what hideous
dwarfs and cripples. What dirt, and what
revolting cravings ! ami all these in connex
ion with the most exquisite care nml pamper
ing of the body. If many a conceited cox
comb could see Ins own mind, lie would see a
thing the like of which is not to he found in
the meanest object the woildcan present. It
is not with beggary, in the most degraded
state, that it is to be compared, for the beg
gar lias wants, is dissatisfied with his state,
has wished for enjoyment above his lot, but
tliepaupcrof intellect iscontcnt with Ins po
verty ; it is his choice to feed on carrion, lie
can relish nothing else, he ffas no desires be
yond the filthy fare. Yet lie piques himself
that he is a superior being; lie takes to him
self the merit of his tailor, his coach maker,
Ins upholsterer, his wine merchant, his cook ;
but it tlie thing were turned inside out, if
that concealed nasty corner, his mind, were
exposed to view, how degrading would be the
exhibition.
Might it not bo reasonably expected that
people sliould take as much pride in the ni
cely of I heir minds, as that of their persons ?
The purity of the mind, the careful preserva
tion of it from the defilement of loose or
grovelling thoughts, is surely as much a
in.ttter of necessary decency as the cleanli
ness of the body. The coarse clothing of the
person is a badge of poverty ; what then
should bo thought of the coarse enter
tainment of the imagination 1 what destitu
tion it argues ? tV when it is seen in connex
ion with all the luxuries of abundant wealth,
how odious is the contrast between the su
perfluities of fortune and the pitiable penury
of the understand ing! The mansion is spa
cious and elegantly furnished, but the soul of
the occupier is only comparable to the dust
hole, a dark dirty receptacle for (lie vilest
trash and rubbish. You visit an affluent
family in London ; you see girls, for whose
education no cost has been spared, who have
been guarded with the most zealous can a
gamst vulgar associations, who arc to lie re
fined if they are to be nothing else; and von
see on their table a Sunday newspaper, the
staples of which arc obscenity and scurrility-,
in a style prolubly much below the loosest
conversation of the footmen in the hall. How
would the parents shudder at the thought of
their daughters listening to a familiar conver
sation of the coarsest kind carried on by their
lacqueys. And what matters it hi effect whe
ther the debauchery is taken at the eye or the
ear? These things deserve to be thought-of
m another manner. The care ot the mind
has yet to have a commencement. Its ser
vants and its food have hitherto been of the
lowest sort: but on both the character of the
ministration and the nutriment, the purity and
soundness of the intellect must greatly de
pend. A good sign it will he, when sonic of
the pride in the ostc.itatiori of gold is trans
ferred to tho show of the riches of the mind,
and when the appearances of poverty of intel
lect are shunned as those now are of the po
verty of the purse.— Tait's Magazine.

MORAL.
Heaiuitill Extract.
The following elegant extract, taken from a vo
lume of Sermons under the title of “ The Scotch
Preacher.” may he new to many of our readers :
but it will at all times be read with pleasure,
even by those to whom it is familiar.
“ Twice had tho sun gone down on the
earth, and all was yet quiet as the sepulchre;
death held liis sceptre over the Son of God.
still and silent the hours passed on; the
guards stood by their posts, and the rays of
the midnight moon gleamed on their helmet?
and on their spears : the enemies of Christ
exulted in their success: the hearts of his
friends were sunk in despondency and sor
row : the spirits of glory waited m anxious
suspense to behold the event, and wondered
at the ways of God. At length, the morning
star appearing in the east, announced the ap
proach of light: the thirdiday began to dawn
on the world, when on a sudden the earth
trembled to its centre, and the powers ot hea
ven were shaken : an angel of God descen
ded ; the guards shrunk back flour his pre
sence and fell prostrate on the ground: his
countenance was like lightning, and his rai
ment was white as snow: he rolled away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre, ami sal
upon it. But who is this that coineth forth
from the tomb, with dyed garments from the
bed ol death 1 He that is glorious in appear
ance, walking in the greatness of hi* strength ?
It is thy Prince, O Zion ! Christian, it is your
Lord ! He hath trodden the wine press alone:
he hath stained his raiment with blood—but
now as the first horn from the toinb of na
ture, lie meets the morning of his resurrec
tion : lie arises a conqucrcr from the grave:
he returns with blessings from the world of
spirits: lie brings salvation to the sons of
men. Never did the returning sun usher in
a day so glorious: it was the jubilee of the u
niverse ! The morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of God shouted I'orjry: the
giver ot mercies looked down from his throne
in the heavens, with complacency, amt be
held his world restored : lie saw Ins work that
it was good. Then did the desert rejoice :
the face of nature was gladdened before him,
when the blessings of the Eternal descended
as the dew ol Heaven for the refreshing of (he
nations.”
Let us get up early.
The wise man, among other valuable lega
cies, has lelt us this exhortation. He was
himself an early riser, passionate iu his love,
and persevering in the pursuit of wisdom. Iu
his celebrated song, one of the first petitions
ol timid beauty, which the ingenuity, net less
than the ardor of the lover devised, was that
she would rise early. At day-break, and
while the shadows of the night arc retiring,
lie impatiently awaits the sum with healing on
his beams, to direct him to the ‘orchard of
pomegranates,’ the well of living water and
the" streams from Lebanon. Solomon could
hardly have written three thousand proverbs
and a madrigal to Ins love, with such wit, if
lie had not by the air and scenery of the morn
ing corroborated his health and kindled Ins
fancy.
Whether active as a king or indolent as a
lover, lie perceived that early hours were aux
iliary both to business and pleasure; and
therefore judiciously advises, to rise with the
lark. the studious, the sedentary, the
contemplative, heed the exhortation, and get
up -early. Forsaking the feverish dreams of
the morning pillow, let him shake off the cn
enfooWing chains of sloth, ‘and go down in.
to the garden ;’ inspect ‘ the fruits of the val
ley, 1 and ‘ sec whether the vines flourish.’
By the rivers of water let him walk, and ex
patiate through the leafy cloisters in the Tem
ple of Nature. —Newark Adv.

LOTS OE MONEY ! !
WHEN wc consider that Fortune
is daily diffusing wealth and happiness
in all parts, and every corner of this extensive
country, through the medium of tho LOTTERY
SYSTEM ; that scarcely a week or a day
wheels by us without bringing the Intelligence,
that someone of our friends or fellow-citizens
has drawn a prize; and that it only requires an
investment of the trivial sum of ten dollars to
give us a good chance for a Prize of 20,000;
Surely it is unnecessary to urgo upon this liberal
and enlightened people, the policy of stepping in
the way to wealth and the favor of the propitious
Dame.

ed the publishers hereof, at the entreaties ofina-1

considerable expense, to undertake the publics- j

with the hope, that its usefulness will ho ap

ment of this important portion of our State. The
publishers feel assured that they donot over es-j
timate the information it imparts, and the great j
convenience and facility, by which it can be
acquired; and, altho’ there may be inaccuracies
in its descriptive character," (from the possibility
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 knowledge ofevery lot, it must he con
sidered the best information the nature of the
case admits of. Os one fact, the reader is guar
anteed, that this Book wears a correct and official
stamp —as it was copied with accuracy from the
Numerical Hooks, now of file in the Executive
Department of the State, after those Books were
thoroughly examined by the late Land Lottery
Commissioners. The accuracy and fidelity of
llii- quality of each lot, was ascertained, by espe
cial reference to the field notes of the Distiict
Surveyors, and their detached plats. To these de
siderata, may be stated, that the No. of each lot,
in its district and section, by whom drawn, in
whose captains district, and in what county, are
equally, and entirely authentic. It must he a de
sirable object to both the. drawer, and the pur
chaser, to have a Book of the kind we here with
submit to the public ; as it embodies in a com
' pressed and in a portable form, all the memora
nda information which both purchaser and seller
could have, without occuiar knowledge or from
information deuvly purchased, if procured olher

The Book wilt contain a Numerical list of all
the lots drawn in the different sections of the Laud
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 embrac
ed. To each lot, will he affixed a letter a, hor e,
which designates the quality ; « for the first, b

section in which ft is located. Whenever a dis
trict is not represented particularly, tiie reader
will learn that all the lots in said district, (as

quality—To each district its boundary is stated,
with some brief, but applicable remarks.
The publishers forbear any further exordium

AS tlic public Ims sustained this
lottery up to llic present time, and from
reiant events which have Liken place, since the
last notice, the Proprietor deems it proper to
give a succinct history ol'it from the beginning
to the present time; leaving out as much as pos
sible what lias been already published.
The proprietor sometime before lie offered this
Lottery to the public, had mortgaged nearly
all the property to two persons w hom he owed—
one contained the negroes,the other the lands,
&c. —And as lie believed for less than half of
its value: however, with a view to Like them up
before, or at the time they became due, and
proceeded on with --his mercantile busiusss; blit
iie was from misfortune unable to take up the
mortgages, and having made*many other credi-
I and perceiving that lauded property had
fallen "early half its value, and finally finding
lor wliatli would bring that even all his property
would not satis,,’ Ms creditors, unless he gets
its value ; and having been thus fixed, and being
anxious to do justice to io 3 other creditors, as
well as the mortgagees, effereJ Bis property in
said Lottery.
Ho applied to his creditors for their aj’pl'Oba
ion—and amongst them one whose claim L?
quite inconsiderable, refused—and issued his fi
ta (after which others issued and levied on the
property, and it was all sold from the Ist Tues
ir,r,t j-iujjtrfi amt up to tnc Ist Tuesday
a September—and bought in by tw r o mortgages
at comparatively small prices—hut more than
the amount of the fi fa : and the property left
with the Proprietor, to carry on the Lottery.
Said creditor’s claim being younger than others,
tiie money was paid to the eldest claim—and
he still not paid. On visiting Savannah, the Pro
prietor was taken by this same creditor by easa,,
aud placed in confinement on the twentv-t iird of
lust March. And in the mean time the mortga
gees attorney took possession of the
offered in the scheme ol" said lottery ami sold
them. It is proper to state that from the sales of
tickets, there is a larger amount of money on 1
hand than the amount of the nine, negroes in tiie
scheme in said Lottery. On taking jtow near- ]
lyt wo months to consult (both personally and J
by letters) a nilmbev of gentlemen, the best course
to be taken, the Proprietor from their advice, as
well as his own convictions lias come lo the
conclusion, to t onlinuc the said Lottery ; but ad
mits he must have the aid of his country : lle
will present a petition to the next Legislature
ss soon as it sits, with a number of respectable
tigners, praying leave todraw said Lottery; (aud
to pay cusli to prize holders instead of negroes
o ihe amount set forth in the scheme of said ne
groes. Then justice will he dona to purchasers j
of tickets, and to his numerous creditors; and
lie will feel grateful to liis country which will i
verify the old adage, “ a friend in need is a friend i
indeed.”
j He does not make this appeal to the public
with a hope of obtaining the fame olTiniole
| on of old by means of chance and fortune—no;
i lie only asks, w hat can be done by his state —
i for its aid so as to act legally—and only to main
, tain liis steadiness of purpose and firmness of
i mind by which although poor, he will be able to
I pass the remainder of his days, neither to he
I grieved w ith past prosperity, nor to be broken
down by present or future adversity, hut tube
gratified for havinytlie satisfaction of doing jus
tice, and for the following very good reasons:
—it will balance his affairs, restore his credit,
satisfy liis creditors, and to injure neither indi
vidual nor country iu this peculiar case.
It is therefore requested that the purchasers of
Tickets remain satisfied until it is known w belli-!
er the Legislature will have rejected or granted j
his Petition.—ls rejected, all the money w ill be
immediately returned by the Agents, but if on
the other hand the Petition is allowed he will
have time to sell tiie unsold tickets, and draw
said Lottery by the first of next January, the
lime specified in the last notice dated the 25th
of March.

The .Yort list's « Uagmint,
N O branch of the lighter literature of thepre
sent age offers a wider field, or greater va
riety for selection, than lho?e works familiarly
known as Romances and Novels. The unbound,
id encouragement which these have received
have induced many of the most gifted writer, lu
engage in their conipafiiiun, and they have m
consequence, attained a degree of merit and ei .
ccilcUCc which, w ith a few splendid exceptions
were until the present century, entirely unknown!
Amongst the great mass of Novels which an!
constantly iu course of publication, there are of
cotiree some which are very superiour to the oth
ers. To select these and present them to die
reading community in a neat, popnlor and con
venient form, with greater expedition and at loss
cost than they can be furnished by the book-stl.
lers, is the principle object of the proposed puMi
cation ; an object which the publishers are satis
fied they can accomplish more easily than any
other persous. on eccount of the extraordinary
facilities which they enjoy’,
i Besides a constant and direct iuterceurse with

they are connected with the most extensivs print
ling establishment in Philadelphia, and can re
print iu the shortest period any work they may
choose to undertake. If, for example, lliey
should wish to furnish as part of their regular se
ries, any New English Novel, they can dosoat
I as early a date as any American bookseller, so
that distant subscribers may receive itsimultanr
j ously with the bookseller’s republieation in the
’ larger cities, aud at l>nt a trilling expense ol pos
tuge.
i In selecting works for this publication, none
w ill be taken list those which convey hothgrati
j lication and instruction ; and especially such as
j have the charm of freshness and interest. If
; these objects cannot he accomplished from the
| abundant supply of the modern press recourse
j may be had to those sterling productions of s for
mer age, which being almost entirely oniof print,
are comparatively.but little known, and, in some
eases, would he found more attractive than most
of those which are of more recent origin.
As the Novellist’s Magazine, though intended
; expressly for preservation; will be furnished to
j subscribers in pamphlet form, it will be conveyed
| by mail to the most distant places, and at a very
j 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
