This knov.’lcdga of oneself (a tiling very difficult to bo attained):.-? never to be acqui red by the help of other?; nor can wo, indeed, dapenti upon out own word or opinion in the case—-for this often linn s is short-sighted; it discovers not all that is to be seen; and makes 4 false report of what it discovers, like a bri bed or treacherous Witness, that shutilcs in !i!3 evidence, and is afraid to speak out. Nor can we form a judgement from any single action; for tius m iv eotno from a man without, being intended, or so much as thought oi; it may be a sudden push upon an unusual, pressing occasion—the work of necessity or chance—a lucky hit or sudden sally—and, owing to heat or passion—!.- one, to all of these, rather than to the man himself, end, . herefore, wo can fix nz character from a thing which is not of our own growth. One t ourag. ous action no more proves a man brave, nor one act of justice iust, than the breadth ami depth of a river, and the strength of its current are to be taken from a sudden acci dental flood, when ailthc neighboring brooks empty themselves into it, ami swell it above its banks. Vice itself has sometimes put men upon doing very good things —so extremely nice a thing it is to know men truly. We can learn nothing to the purpose by all the outward appendages of the man, his employ ments, preferments, honors, riches, birth, good acceptance, and general applause, nor yet by his deportment when he appears a tiroad; for there the man plays in check, stands upon his guard, aud every motion is with re serve and constraint. Fear, and shame, and ambition, and a thousand other passions, put him upon playing the part you see then acted. To know him thoroughly, you must follow into his closet, see him in his dressing room, and in liis cvery-dav garb. He is of tentimes quite another thing at heme than what he appears in the street, at court, or on the exchange—one sort of man to strangers, and another to his own family. When he goes out of liis house, he dresses for the stage, and the farce begins; you can have no stress upon what you see of him there : this is not the man,' but the character he sets upon him self to maintain; and you will nr*, er know any thing of him till you make a dilFcrcncc be tween the person of the eftmedian that plays, and the person represented by him. The on ly way to arrive at self-krfo wedge, is by a true, Jong, constant study of oneself. No motion of a man’s mind must escape his no tice; he must view himself near; must he c tcrnally prying, hauling, pressing, probing, nay pinching himself to the quick; for there are many vices in ns that lurk close and lie deep; and we know nothing of thorn, because we do not take the pairis to search far enough and ferret them out.—Char rvn. Tim srvsET. Who is there who has overlooked rp to the “golden gates of the resplendent West” ■and beheld them arrayed in all their magni ficence, and watched the beautiful departure of the God of day, and Juts not felt himself lifted from earth to heaven, and liis feelings spiritualized by the contemplation of the scene 1 ’The glories of sunset can be seen and enjoyed in their greatest fulness only in the country. The winds are now hushed a mong the foliage—the birds of heaven have Ceased their warbling—the voice of the lab ourer is no longer heard—sif nee hang: like a canopy upon the scene. At such a season go walk abroad in the country—cairy along with you no book to aid your reflections—go slonr or with afriend—let your heart be open o the influence of the scene—let its home.

So the bill passed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. November 16, 1831. Mr. Oliver said lie would not have troubled the house again, but for the zeal with which the gentleman from Franklin had expressed his views, lie had argued Mic question with very great zeal, indeed, and no doubt, to liis own mind, with very great justice. Mr. O. said liis calculation was :.iade on these sup positions • —that the Inferior Court should levy an extra tax to pay jurors : That the whole venire would attend on the first day of he court—and of course receive one day’s pay ; that those who arc retained should re ceive their regular pay. Then he had al lowed for the expense of collecting the extra tax—iho bailiffs’ fees, and the county treasu rer's foes on his disbursement. Putting all these together he got the sum of 8750, on the plan of paying jurors hv an extra tax. To this plan he was opposed altogether; because it would require more money than is actually requisite for the payment of jurors. It was he thought system got up to feed public offi cers. If you levy an extra tax, you must add 15 per cent to cover the cost of collection.— Is it nut rather farcical to go to a man and ask him to pay a tax of 81, with the prospect of liis getting it back again, at the end of some 12 mouths, with 15 per cent discount, and the loss of interest too 1 Is this a sys tem by which to compensate jurors ? It look ed to him very much like the Tariff System, which some gentlemen approve of because, as they say, we get our goods cheaper—and therefore we suffer no injuiy ; But * feci its cfiect in another way—-we feel it when we coinc to sellour cotton. Just so it is with this business. If, sir, the juries could receive the amount already provided by law—if there were no incans of depriving them of their foes—the compensation would be ample. fo far as hU acqi . intance extended jurors were satisfied witii the provisions of the law of last year. Tliat they should receive the lull benefit of these provisions was t!te sole object of bis bilk Mr. Young said he did not rise to go into a discussion of (Re subject; hut simply to remind the house, that, last year, when the bill, now sought to be amended, wa* before the house, its friends w re distinctly told that it would not answer the purposes intended. I j’tat prophesy has been verified by the event. And now, there is danger that the mu/ttermay be made worse, by the variety of propositions lielore us. That tins result tunv not happen— • lest we may legislate on the subject and do no good, he-said, he would move that the com utittec rise and report progress, ajid ask leave to sit again. Air. Bates moved that the committee rise and report, agreement to the bill without auienunieirt. Air. llopkins said lie wisltcd it to lie dis tinctly understood, that he was opposed tc the compensation of grand and petit jurors in every shape and form. There are certain duties which all citizens are bound to per form, in return for the protection of their rights and privileges under the laws of the county ; and the duties of jurors lie held to be ot this sort. He cared not for the effeet the , expression of these opinions might have on ! him at home. He cared not * whether it 1 "as popular or unpopular. It was his consci entious opinion, and would hence .feel him sell bound to vote against all |>ropositicns for the compensation of jurors. Why, sir, do you not provide for the compensation of your cit izens lor the performance of military duty 1 I’hat duty is equally arduous. It is just as ne cessary, for the good ordt r of society, that the disputes of our citizens about their rights, should be fnirip settled, as that the country should be defended. As regarded his coun ty ‘he law of the lust session was a poor way to compensate jurors. There wore not often more than 5 or G cases to be tried. He would note vote for the repeal of the law of tiie last session because it lessened the fees of at torneys ; but because it put it in the power ot attorneys to represent to their clients that the plaintiff must pay so much more for iiav itig his business attended to. Few persons would take the trouble to examine the law, and hence might be charged 5, 10 or 20 dol lars mote than before. In this matter the poor, ho thought, had an equal inter est with the rich. I hey have gone rally as much con tention at law, and therefore should have no exclusive privileges in this regard. And he would not, in all cases, have jurors come up to the discharge of their duties influenced by the prospect of reward, but free and untram, oiled, to decide between their fellow citizens, ife repeated, that he was opposed to the com pensation of jurors—and was perfectly willing to repeal the last law on the subject, and thus settle a question which, he believed, would never have been stirred but for political pur poses. Some conversation took place between Messrs. Hudson, Bates, Ryan, Young, Oliver, Haralson, and Merriweth’er, as to "the best mode of proceeding, when the- question was taken on Mr. Bates’ motion and carried. The report of tlie committee of the whole was laid on tin table. Saturday, Nov. 13. % Messrs.
