Mlfteellnueous iM-lructs. Lore at a Glimpse. —Sonic years ago, there used to be pointed out upon tho streets of Glas gow, a man whose intellect.’- had been unsettled upon a very strange account. When a youth, ho happened to pass a lady on a crowded thorough!?.! e—a lady whoso extreme bernty, though dimmed by tho intervention of a veil, and seen but for u moment, made an indelible impression upon his mind. Tins lovely vision shot rapidly past him,and was in an instant lost in the crowd through which it uiuv— erh He was so confounded by the tumult ol Ins feelings, that ho could not pursue, or even attempt to see it again. Yet he never after wards forgot it. With a mind full of distracting thoughts, and a heart tilled alternately with gushes of pleasure and ol pain, thp man slowly b it the spot where lie had remained far same minutes as it were thunder-struck, lie soon after, without being aware of what he wished, or what he w as doing, found himself again at the place. He came to the very spot where he had stood when the lady mused for some time about it, went to a iittle distance, and then carae up as he had come when he met tho exquisite subject of his revery —unconsciously deluding himself with the idea that tiiis might recall her to the spot. She came not ; he felt disappointed; ho tiied again ; still she abstained from passing. He continued to traverse the place till the evening, when the street became deserted. By and by, he was left alto together alone. lie then saw that all his fond efforts were vain, and he left the silent, lonely street at midnight, with a soul as desolate as that gloomy terrace. For weeks alinwards he was never off the streets. He wandered mitner through out the town, like a forlorn ghost. In particu lar, he often visited the place whete he had first seen the object of his abstracted thoughts, as if lie considered that he had a belter chance o! seeing her ihere than any where else. He fre quented every place of public amusement to which lie could purchase admission; and he made the tour of all the churches in the town. All was in vain. lie never again placed his eyes upon that angelic countenance. She was ever present to his mental optics—hut she nev er appeared in a tangible form. Without her essential presence, all the world beside was to him as a blank—a wilderness. Madness invariably takes possession of the ntind whieh-broods over-much or over-long up on some engrossing idea. So did it prove with this singular lover. Ilegiew innocent as the people of this country tenderly phrase it. His insanity, however, was little more than mere ab straction. The course of his mind was stopped at a particular point. After this he made no further progress in any intellectual attainment. He acquired no new ideas. His whole soul stood still. He was like a clock stopped at a particular hour, with some things, too, about him, which like the motionless indices of that machine, pointed cut the date ofthi interruption. As, for instance, he ever after wore a peculiarly long-backed and high necked coat, as well as i a neckcloth of a particular spot —being the fashion of the year when he saw the lady, la ri aed-he - > **s memorial of the dress, gait, and manners offa former day. It was evi dent that he clung with a degree of fondness to every thing which bore relation to the great in cident of his life. Nor could he endure any thing that tended to cover up or screen from his recollection that glorious yet melancholy cir cumstance. He had the same fo u[ ’ ven ,,_ ration for that day—that circumstance—and for himself, as he then existed—which caused the chivalrous lover of former times to preserve up on his lips, as long as he could, the imaginary delight which they had drawn from tho touch of liis mistress’s hand. When this unfortunate person was last seen, he was getting old, and seemed still more de ranged than formerly. Every female whom he met on the street,especially if at all good looking he gazed at with an anxious enquiring expression; and when she had p.,ssed he usually stood still a few moments and mused, with his eyes cast on the ground. It was remarkable, that he ga zed most anxiously upon women whos” age and lieu e most nearly resembled that ofhis unknown mistress at the time he had seen h r, and that he did. not appear to make allowance for the years which had passed since lu3 eyes met that vision. This was part ofhis madness. Strange power of love! Incomprehensible mechanism of the human heart! Credulity. —We had occasion tin other day to animadvert upon Superstition, a .ailing near ly allied to this, is credulity. T se errors are very similar to each other, and at times hardly to be distinguished, although th origin is dia metrically opposite. The first ii the offspring of an erroneous and vicious education, imbibed from nursery tales of ghosts and visions, and al so from false religious notions. Credulity pro ceeds from ignorance, the absence of educa tion, and want of a due knowledge of men and things. The credulous man is the victim of imposi tion, an J though deceived a hundred times in a day he will lend his ear to the that person he meets and again bo deceived. Our attention was called to the subject by reading an account of the execution of a ielon i:i England, when several females present as cended the scaffold and watched the last gasp of the expiring"culprit, tor the purpose of having his hand passed over wens with which they were ufllicted. In the Interior of our own country, the virtues of the rope with which a melefactor has been hung, are well established ; and it never fails to afford a pretty perquisite to .the hangman. It is usually sold iusmall poi lions of an inch or two in length and t.e that gets a piece carries it home in triumph, and with full faith that lus family, his entile and property will he I protected (rom many dire alllictions. Paw-wowing isa regului and well established h lsi ioss in the interior. Our readers are awui th t this pow-w owing is what is designated in J3 jghsh as charming, i'he process is rnakin ntriain gestures, turning round, moving the hand backwards and forwards, repealing etrlaiu words, &c. A short time since, a regularly educated and ordained minister of the Gospel, published n number of receipts of pow-wuwing for putting out fire, curing burns, and scalds and many dis eases ; the basis of all consisted ol performing certain gestures, and repeating certain cabalis tic words. One individual, honored with tho title of Doctor, has practised the pow-wow for many years ; made an ample fortune, and, pro bably,’sent out into tho country as many stu dents ns any physician in the state, he can as suage the most violent pains, stop tho most dan gerous hemorrhage, and stay the progress ol deadly diseases a hundred miles off, by being told the name, age and situation of the patient, and there are thousands of persons at this mo ment ready to testify in a court of justice to tho verity of these powers. It is an every day prac tice, in cases of disease or accident, to send for persons to poiv-ieow over the patient,and strange as it may appear, more faith is placed in this ce remony than in a prescription of the most cele brated physician. The renowned Doctor Thompsan, “the steam doctor,” is, or was lately, perigsinating through the State of Ohio, and performing wonders.— To pass the hand over the back of a horse and pull his tail three times, is a cure for the botts, and so on with hundreds of other miracles of the kind. Thus we see that credulity and super stition stalk abroad in the very lace of all our boasted wisdom and philosophy. These it may be said are vulgar errors ; they are vulgar enough in 11 conscience, but let each one o_ mine himself and ““Nuance he will fin-] mat he too has a bide leaning to someone or nioro of the prejudices enumerated in this and a former paper. Infancy—.hi Extract. —YY hat is more beau tiful than an infant ? Look at its spotless brow; at it its soft and ruddy lips, which have never 1 utterred an unholy word—and at its blue laugh ing eyes, as it lay on the breast of its mother. Look, it has stretched out its white hand, and is playfully twisting her hair around its tiny fin gers. Aye, let me look at an infant! it is inno cence endued with life: the very counterpart of holiness. It requires nothing but the pleasant look ofits mother, and her warm kiss upon its lily cheek, to i .ake it happy. Yon may talk to it of sorrow, of misery, of death, but y -or words are unmeaning. It has never felt the chills of disappointment; it has never writhed beneath the pang of affliction and its guiltless heart knows nothing of the emptiness, the hollow professions, and cold heartness of the world ; anil would to God, that the cup may be broken ere it be lifted to its lips. A cold-blooded systematic villian cannot ea sily gaze upon an infant’s countenance; he shrirks before its mild blue eye, like a criminal j before a Judge’s.—But why does he start and | turn away, as if he looked upon a dungeon’s I visage ? Because it is the mirror ofinnocence; because it is so free from pollution, so pure, so p- rtect, that it mirrors the guilt and hideous blackness of his soul, as clearly as the limpid XI'P4-.

Domestic Relations. —We make the follow ing beautiful extract from Professor Porter’s Lecture on the Domestic Relations.” As yet I have said nothing on the conjugal re lation—a connexion which surpasses all others in tenderness and intimacy. If it be criminal to ent-r into this without affection, it is equally so to suffer affection to die away, and t.iose kind attentions which afl'e- lion prompts to be discontinued. Did not the world supply in stances, we should thick it impossible fora man to be so devoted, not only of the attachment corresponding to the vows he had taken, but of generosity and principle, as to be otherwise kind and attentive in this connexion. To the truly virtuous man, there is something sacred in the very name of wife. The woman of feel ing and refinement who takes it, does it with an affectionate and confiding heart. She brings her hope of earthly happiness to a point. She adventures every thing in the traffic of the affec tions. Disappointment here is final—remidiless disappointment—and her portion ever after, is that of a desolate heart. These are reflections which will habitually occur to the man of feel ing, and exert a most salutary influence when in moments of care and vexation, and pains, he is hardly sensible of the fondness that dwells in the heart. No man can be what he should be in this relation wi'hout adding to warmth of at tachment, the stability of principle. Not to enlarge upon the duties of the connex ion in question, 1 think it proper ‘, O sa y that few things are more important to the virtue and happiness of our sex, than due respect for the oilier. It is impossible one should have been at all conversant with the refined and well educa ted ot the sex, provided he possesses the least character, and not feel for them sentiments of the most unfeigned respect. There are persons I am aware, who pride them selv is upon bring high minded young men, who are yet totally destitute of such sentiments. They can even. for their own amusement and that of others, retail stale . jests, applicable enough to the worst portion of the sex, but ap plied by them without reason to all. No one tiling more than this, would lead me to decide •'■nfidently on a man’s destitution of generous •id refined sentiments, and his fitness lor every thin” low’ and base. Religion— Heligion has planted itself,in all the purity of its image, and sufficiency of itsstength, at the threshold of human misery: and is em powered to recal the wonderers from their pil grimage of wo, and direct them in the path to Heaven. It had diffused a sacred joy in the abode of poverty and wretchedness; it has ef faced the wrinkles from the brow of care—shed a beam of sacred and tranquil joy in the cham ber of death, gl-ddened the countenance of the dying with a triumphant enthusiasm; and dif fused throughout the earth a faint foretaste ot the blessings of futurity. It is benign as the light of Heaven, and comprehensive as its span. An Iris in the sky of the Christians, it quickens perseverance with the promise of a reward; re animates the drooping spirit; invigorates the decrepitude ofage, and directs, with a prophe tic ken, to the regions of eternal felicity. Like the sun, it gilds every object with its rays, without being diminished in its lustre or shorn of its power. Hypochondria Cured. —Tho wife of a re spectable farmer having suffered much from this disease, fancied that she should d.e, and of ten assembled her friends about her to witness her closing scene. After repeated false alarms they became convinced that she labored under a disease of the mind, and advised her husband to favor her belief about dying. Not long af terwards she was attacked with her old disease, and posted off a boy to the cornfield for her hus band to come and see her die. The husband hastened to her bedside, where he found her ap parently in the last stajrc of life, b’he informed him that in one hour her soul would w ing its way to the mansions above, and before her death she wished to know what he would do with the children when her care ot them w-ould he at an end. A thought struck him to try the pow er of vexation; he told her his thoughts had been very anxiously employed on the subject; but at length he came to a resolution, for the sake of the dear innocents, which he JrustC.* would set her mind at rest on their account; in ■ short, he had resolved, ns soon after her death as decency would permit, to marry Molly Brown (an old maid to whom she had a peculiar dis like.) This was too much—the good mother instantly jumped up and declared Molly Brown should never be a step-mother for her children. A complete cure took place, and tho imago of Molly Brown never fails to chock the least symptoms of relapse. IVooden Candles. —The Yankees may brag, says the Liverpool (P. a.) Mercury, as tliey please about their engenuity; their wooden nut megs, Prussian pumpkin seeds, and machines for making white ash rakes out ofchcsnut chips, but they can’t begin with the Pennsylvanians. They make no bones at all of palming bass wood hams and flannel sausages. Y’ou seel took it into my head to try to speculate a little to make up the eighteen pence that 1 lost a bet ting on the ’lection. At first I did’nt know ex actly jvhat I’d better try, and was just talking with my landlord, pretty clever fellow for a Duch man, when some body come along, and asked if any body wanted to buy any candies for four pence ha’ penny n pound. “Hear's a chance tor you, says the landlord, “any of the store keep ers will give more than that for’em right off.” i’ll be darned if I dont believe that the landlord was in the scrape, for il he had’nt have been, he’d have bought the candles himself. But you sec I did not think of that, and so bought a whole box of the candles. And how do you think I got sucked in ! If you can guess in a week, 1,11 treat you to a glass of Duff Green’s julip. But to save you all that trouble, I’ll just tell you how it turned out. A piece of white oak-wood, turned in tho shape ofa candle, with a snug little wick in each end, cover’d with justabout tallow enough to greas the bill of a Long Island mus keto. The German Population of Ohio, are a har dy, frugal, and industrious people. They are mostly farmers, and mind no body’s business but their own. Look at their farms, their or chards, their gardens, their cattle and horses, and you will see what they are about. They are among the best practical farmers in Ohio. There is a neatness about there premises, which proves them to have been well instructed in the business of agriculture, and to understand the most profitable mode of cultivating the soil. Though generally well informed, they make no parade of their knowledge. They are never found intriguing for office. They meddle little with politics, and yet no one set among us are more firmly established in their opinions. If error at any time creeps into the administration of the governmment, they are not slow in find ing it out. They seek for correct information. Plain and republican in all their notions, they despise extravagance in every thing. They de light in tilling the soil and in using the best means in bringing it to a high state of perfec tion. Their barns are usually well filled, and their houses abounding in plenty. They drive fat horses, live honestly, and are finally an hon or to any state or country they inhabit. We re joice to learn that the German emigration to this State is still increasing. There are, at this time, probably thirty thousand voters in Ohin t j, n( j a population, 0 i mure than 150,000 of that industrjous people. —Ctlumbus Sentinel. Philadelphia, April 8, Atrocious Alurder. —Passengers from Bor— dentown, N. J. in the Steamboat yesterday morning, brought the thrilling intelligence that a most singular, unlooked for, and inhuman murder had been perpetrated in that place, by a young man named Joel Clough, upon the per son of Mrs. Mary Hamilton, an estimable young widow lady consort of the late Dr. Ham ilton. It appears that Clough had been for some time a boarder in the house of Mahlon Longstreth, Mrs. H.’s father, at Ihe corner of the Main street and the road leading to Trenton where Mrs. H. also resided, in the courso of which time Clough had formed an ardent attach ment to Mrs. 11., and had repeatedly offered to wed her. She, in the mean time, however, had favored a rival suitor, a highly respectable citi zen of Bordentowr, and it became rumored that ere lon< T they would be united. Hus wus too much for the unfortunate Clough. And about twelve days ago, he left Bordentown and went to New Y ork; returned on Thursday and on Saturdy feigning sick ess, retired to his room, and thus prevailed upon the lady to enter his apartment, under the expectation of administer ing relief; when he suddenly sprang up, seized her by the arm, drew a dagger and threatened her with instant death if she refused to marry him. She did refuse, and he instantly stabbed her; and before her screams brought asssistance he had inflicted eleven wounds upon her, each one of which would have probably killed her ! A gentleman hearing her cries rushed up stairs just as she had broke from the demon’s grasp, and was descending them, the blood gushing from her mouth and wounds! She fell into his arms, and was thus carried into the parlor be low. She lived about a minute, during which, she told her mother who had wounded her, and why it was done, and died. On examination it was found that the weapon had entered her heart three times; seven times in her side, breaking a rib, and once in the left atm, which was also broken ! THE WESTEKN HER ALD. AURARIA, GEORGIA, MAY 7, 1533. State Convention. —This body assembled yesterday, un der the provisions of an act of the last Legislature. We have made arrangements to publish a summary ol their proceedings, and shall probably be enabled to hear from our Correspondents in Milledgeville, in time for the next. Wc anticipate a boisterous gale will arise, in ;ts organization. It was surely intended for a conven tion of the p-:nplej bat a seems that the Legislature has usurped the power Oi throwing so many shackles around the rights cf their constituents, in enacting a law upon the subject, expressly declaring the manner of election for the members, specifying the time and place of meeting; defining their powers and duties, that wc scarcely know whether the delegates arc to be considered as the repre 'scntativcs of the people, or the attornics in fact, of the members of the last legislature. We would admit the propriety of a great many of them appointing unrestrained agents; but we doubt the policy of their granting limited powers to ‘heir Attornics, particularly in this mattar, for they are attempting to grant power, to do what they themselves cannot do, unless it is in a particular way, which is clearly pointed out in the Constitution, viz: to al ter or amend the constitution by the Legislature. An act mustpass by a majority of ttVP-t hirds of both branches of the general Assembly, at two successive sessions. Now if the legislature had been so extremely anxious for a re duction of its body, as they would mi ke you n.Jkve. why is it that they did not commence one year sooner in leak ing this (n\ed!ey law) of enlarging and restraining privi leges. The truth is, tho members of the legislature wants no reduction mode,for they know not whose time it would l*e to stay at home,and v. e believe they acted under no oth er motives in the passage of this law, but to tlirow such obstructions in the way of the convention, as to dissolve the body, without effecting any plan of reduction, and we much fear that the intrigue was so deeply laid, and the time allowed before the election so short, that their object will he effected; tor if the delegates in the convention, go on to act under the power given them by the legislature, their acts will certainly be unconstitutional, as we have already suggested. If they attempt to act as the dele gates of the people, it will be urged by those unfriendly to reduction, that they were elected and met, &c. ice. un der the law passed by the legislature, and must confine their actions to the authority there given, in which event, the right of secession will be enforced by some; a protest will be got up and signed by a sufficient number of those opposed to reduction, to destroy tin l power of the remain ing members to do any tiling beneficial in the matter. We see these difficulties may arise, though we hope to be disiip]H)inted in our prediciions, as to the results, for we do hope the state will never have another such curse up on it, as we consider its legislatures has been for the las; five or six years. John C. Calhoun. —This distinguished statesman, arri ved in our Village on Wednesday last, directly from his residence in South Carolina.

The people can never forget iJie distinguished services he rendered the State, when her rights were en dangered—her liberties threatened—her territo rial jurisdiction denied, And her sovereignty ridi culed. The strong arm of federal power was extended over her, and disregarding alike the justice ofher cause, and the importance of the principles involved in the controversy, its po tency, by executive direction was to be the ar biter of right and the decider of the contest. The impotency of executive threats, was defied, and the State, poised on her sovereignty, was prepared to resist unto death, governmental op pression and federal usurpation. At that time, Georgia was distracted by party-excitement, and rent asssundcr by internal divisions. Her sis ter states manifested no interest in her cause no feeling for her situation. Through their Legisla tures, they treated her with the severity of cold neglect, and her cause with the cruelty of hitter opposition. The Press—the palladium of our liberties—levelled the thunder of its artillery against her course—and public opinion, with its mighty weight, prepared to grind to powder, the champion cl her rights In that day of fearful responsibility, Troup was superior to the dan gers by which he was surrounded—and by firm ness of purpose, energy cf action, perseverance of conduct, and wisdom of counsel, he achiev ed a victory that has done more for State-rights and Southern-interests, than any one, since the memorable revolution of 1801. \Ve have .’ j cause to apprehend tl- 1 tye diff.cuitics in ‘ r dL tion to o'” newly acquired Territory, are, not all surmounted—ar.d wc know, from tearful signs, that the rights of the States, and the interests of the f.outh, stand on precarious footing, and arc ‘neld by an insecure tenture.

The crisis demands suclr qualifications for Governor in every fc!taie--and Georgia, from the part she is destined to act, in the great contest, that is now waging for power will require at her helm the soundes head she has, the firmest heart she claims.
