epreAd his countenance—rr i*>st shs spitits,
energy his life, his temper, his every thing en
ijobting; and bo had just beg&n tn surrender
Itimself to the bottle, whon an accident occur
red which revived his hopes of happiness with
his wife, and determined him to make one more
effort to bring his wife into his views.
Mr. Smith, bv an unfortunate investment >n
cotton, failed; and after a bungljng attempt to
secrete i few thousand dollars from is credi
tors, (for he knew Geflrge. too well to claim
his assistance in such a matter,) be was left
without a dollar that he could call his own.
Ev lina ami her parents all seemed as . if they I
would no i razv under the misfortune; and !
George now assumed the most affectii note. de
portment to his wife, and the most soothing des
rneanor to her parents. The parents were
completely won to him; and his wife for once
seemed to feel towards him as she should.
George av iled himself of this mo ent to make
another and the last attempt to reform h t hab
its and sentiments.
“ My dear Evelina,” said, he, “ we have no
thing now to look to, but our o’ 1 n exertions, for
n support. This, and indeed affluence, lies
within our reach if we will but seek them in a
proper way. You have only to use industry
tind care within doors, and I without, to place
us in a very few years above the frowns of for
tune. YVc have only to consul* each other’s
happiness, to make each other happy. Come
then, my love', forgetting our disgraceful bick
erings. |"t us now commence a new life. Be
lieve me, there’s no being on this earth that my
heart can love as it can you, il you will but
claim ts affections ; and you know how to com
mand them.” Thus at much greater length,
and with much more tenderness, did George
address her. His appeal had for a season its,
desired effect. Evelina rose with him, retired
with him, read with him. She took charge of
the keys, dealt out the stores with her own
hand, visited the kitchen—in short she became
ever thing George could wisfl or expect from
one <>f her experience. Things immediately
wore a new aspect. George became himself
egain He recommenced his studies with re
doubled assiduity. The community saw and
C lighted in the change, and the bar began to
tremble at his giant strides in his profession.—
But alas! his bliss was doomed to a short du
ration. Though Evelina s iw, and felt, and
acknowledged the advantages and blessings of
her new course of conduct, -he had to preserve
it by a struggle against nature; and at the end
ofthr e months, nature triumphed over resolu
tion, and she relapsed into er ol habits.—
George now surrendered himself to dunk an I
to despair, and died the drunkard’s death. At
another ti ne, I may perhaps give the melan
choly account of his ruin in detail; tracing t
conssquenres down to the moment at whir* ’
turn now writing. Sh uld this time never at
rive, let the fate of my poor lost nephew, be a
warning to mothers, against brining up their
daughters to be “Charming Creatures.”

Prudential Matches.
Mortals have a general love of taking destiny
(lorn the hands of provid* nee! but tn nothing
docs it show itself so strongly as in matrimoni

but Beaux, when ‘prudent connexions’ and
‘eligible matches’aic the only theme ol dis- :

1 “ Tragical £i’eijf......lhe following tragical
l story of a Mormon preacher is, given by the
h editor of the Independent Messenger on the
y authority of a gentleman from the Western part
J of the State of New York. We shall expect to
n see it authenticated by the Western papers, if it
t be true. Sa. liepub.
r In a town where the delusion had made nu
ll merous converts the disciples were summoned
r to assemble in a wild place, circumjacent to a
- pond, on the waler of which a gifted elder an.
a nounced that he should walk and preach. The
believers notified their doubting friends, and
gr at things were anticipated. But it seems
there were a few wicked Lamanites, who se
cretly’ set themselves to make mischief. €’h<>o
=ing their opportunity just before the appointed
- flay of miracles, they ascertained by means of
r a raft, that the pond to be traversed was tx
tremely shallow, a thin sheet of water covering
-a common swamp mire. This mire was found
to be of a consistency nearly strong enough,
- except within a sm II central space, to sustain
1 th- weight of a man. They soon discovered a
- line ol plank laid in a particular direction coms
1 plete v across the-pond, sunk about four inches
? under the surface of the water. I'hese were
1 so fastened down, and looped together, and so
, daubed with mud as to be quite imperceptible
from the no ghboring declivities. They resolved
3 on oreventing Hi miracle by sawing the con-
2 cealed bridge in pieces, just where it crossed
3 the deepest and most dangerous part of the
- pond. This was done, and left s emingly as
y they found it.
1 The expected day arrived the congregation
1 placed themselves as m an amphi-theatre on
b the surrounding slopes,and the preacher appear
ed at the edge of t.>e water. Presently he
3 raised his stentor.an voice, and as he paced his
1 I'nvisible b idge with a step apparently unearthly.
- taught and warned the people. All ears were
- open, and every eye strained from its socket
’ with astonishment. But alas! just as the mi-
I racle worker seemed to have wrought conv i< lion
-of his divine power in the wondering hearts of
the muititud., lo! he steppi d upon one of the
s detached piec°s of plank, sallied side ways, and
- instantly pktngi it, floundering and sinking in
the deep water mire : mingling shrieks, screams
■ and shouts of tb.e spectators, all in a rush of
commotion were appalling. Even those who
i had spoilt the miracle, were filled with horror
when they actually saw the unfortunate inipos-
’> tor disappear. They had not dreamed their
trick would cost him more than the fright, dis-
■ comfort and disgrace of being submersed and
’ afterwar< s strug'ing ashore; all along taking it
tor granted, that ms plank would enable him to
swim, however it might treacherously fail him
‘ to walk. But the tale closes with the close of
i is lite, and the conscqu. nt < lose of Mormonism
that vi inuy. He sunk, and long before the
nfounded assembly were in condition to afford
'iin relief, perished, a victim to his imposture.

I giveH toe following account of a shocking affair
which lately occurcd in Hooksett, in that State :
“As Mtss Y'aughn, a very respectable young
woman, who keeps a Milliner’s Shop 111 the town
i Hooksett, was rt turning home from the resi
dence of Samuel Hcau, Esq. on Sunday after-.
| noon last, about 4 o’clock, she was waylaved by a
deal and dumb man, tn the employ ot Mr. Head,
I sf iz‘ d by the throat and dragged into the woods,
and most inhumanly inshilted and abused : her
clothes wcrc*r; nt to pieces, her comb broken to
slitters, and her life but barely spared. The
distance from Mr. Head’s to the village is about
one mile, and the road passes through a wood
mar which there is no house; it was in this
by-place that the ruffian effected his infernal
purpose, for which he now lies in Hopkinton
jail, and lot w hich, if tor any crime he deserves

gold and money to the amount of twenty tw o or three
thousand dol’ars!
In answer to the Editors of the Republican requesting
the derivation and meaning of the word ‘ DAHLOII
>’ EGA,” he is right in supposing it to be of Cherokee
originality, the meaning of which is “ yellow.” The
Cherokees call Gold Dahlohnega Tahlah, which means
“ yellow money.”

As th re are a number of vein-mines daily discovering
in our country, wc make lhe following extract from
Woods Mosaic History, which may enable us to form
I some opinion of the extent of these veins. XV bile on the
theory of the car’ll, h /says; “we have a very satisfactory
explanation of the formation of metallic veins and the
dispersion of inctalic grains, in the sands and soil. The
metals being in a pure state or nearly so, in the bowels of
the earth, when projected upwards by the force of subter
ranean power, would be injected into the rocks in the
direction of Ihe operating force. ll* nee they a e found
in veins in solid rocks, running in all directions and de
scending to unkown depths. Sometimes the whole cf
the vein seems to be insulated by the rock. In this case
the whole mass was fused, nt least partly and when the
force ceased to act, it wouid consolidate around the injec
ted metal, I aving no trace of its injection. Sometimes,
the metallic vein evidently entered the rock/rom above.
In this case the metal m a melted slate was thrown to the
surf.ee and merlin" with a chasm ran ini ■ it and consolida
ted into a vein. When the metal was raised front below,
in a state ot fusion in conjunction with an immense mass
of rocky matter, in a state >f fusion, they would appear
nt the siufacc mixed throughout. When the rocky inass
yielded to the disentangling pow er of'.he elements, the
particles of the metal and rock would be carried oir(o
--gether into the lower portions and be found in the form
of dust in the secondary or lower countries.

Parmers Bank of Chatahoociiie. 1 his Bank
has suspend* <1 payment, said to be in consequence of a
draft for a lai r amount of specie than the Bank had in
its vaults, we think with the President,that it will be able
to redeem its Bills, and arc informed by u Gentleman
lately foiu Columbus, that the Bank would resume
operations in a few days. Ihe follow ing id the statc
m nt of the President, about it.
From the ('oltimbus Enquirer.
To the Public.— It becomes my duty, dis-’
aprerablc as it may bo, to announce to the pub
lic, that the Farmers’ Bunk of Chattahoochee,
has suspended payment. The public arc al
ready fully awa’c of the inveterate and unceas
ing hostility, which has been manifested towards
this institution within the last few m> nths, by a
certain portion ol the community. In adverting to
this < ir* umstance, it is not my design to enquire
into its rigin, cr to enumerate the many un
*-. < 'thv < x[>edi< ids, < t vised h» produce the ruin
and downfall of this institution ; but it will be
sufficient to observe, that nothing which person
al bailed, religious bigotry, or political fanati
cism, cui.ld suggest, has been left unsaid or
iindone ; and unfortunately th- ir united action
has triumphed, in »t* spite ofevery effort to ward
off their malignant tendency. But riot withstan
ding this disastrous result, lhe Public arc as
sured that the Bank is abundantly able, not on
ly to redeem its entire circulation, but to refund
back to the slot kholdr rs the original capital in
vested. It is therefor* hoped that the holders
of its bills will not sacrifice them to th* < upidity
of speculators, but w ill keep them on hano for
ultimate redemption. Iho present Directors
are not w ithout strong hopes of being able, with
in a few weeks to place sufficient means in its
i vaults, to enabl* the Institution to commence
business again. In anv event, all the liabili
ties of the Bank, will in the •nd be discharged,
and the Board ol Directors pledge themselves
to consummate this result by the most energetic
measures which it mav be in their power to ad
opt. J. M A. SANDFORD, Ptcs’t
