THE RAINBOW AT NIAGARA.
RV THE AUTHOR OF “FOOTPRINTS, OR FUGITIVE POEMS.”
: Tis morn in a —and the bright, beaming sun
Smiles on the Cataract, whose awful roar
Makes the earth quiver with a secret lear !
I'roin out this leafy nook, I sit am! gaze
Upon the whirl of waters, as they move
Forever onward Jo the deep below.
3iine eye grows dim to sight—mine ear to sound; —
Melhinks, J stand in some Cathedral vast,
Framed by Jehovah for his constant praise.
The vault above, is sapphire; and the floor
Is paved with rushing waters, which forbid
The tread of frail mortality 100 near.
And lo!—yon cloud of incense !—how it curls
In beauty up to heaven !—.No !—’lis a wreath
Os sparkling dew-drops, rising from the foam—
Uuriioly Baptism figuring thereby !
Nor is there sullen silence in these courts;
But, from Creation's dawn, those very tones
Os deep, full music have been sounding here.
How terrible this place !—What solemn dread
Lives in yon mighty Cataract! —But, see !
Far down the deepahyss, where hottest boils
The cauldron of white foam:—where no light bird.
Nor wing of stoutest eagle might he borne—
A beauteous Rainbow hanging in mid air!
It hatha cheering language, and, melhinks,
This gracious promise meets my spirit’s ear :
To him, who worshipped! ourGml aright—
On whom the dew-drops of new-birlh are shed—
\nd who doth ponder well the secret things
Os w Inch earth’s shows are emblems—there shall
rise
And heavenly bow, forever arching o’er
The dark recesses of our mortal stale. —
To him, our God is Love—and you bright hues
But the reflection of his endless smile
With which the good are welcomed up in heaven ?
Niagara , August 1 (ifA, 1841.
oO*’3hort sentences sometimes do more
Ilian long discourses; we can remember
llie one, while w-e can scarcely find lime
to read the other. One is like a guide
post, distinctly pointing out our way; the
o'her like a general map, in which we are
often puzzled, after a long search, to find
where we are.
Waste. —Waste of wealth is some
times retrieved; waste of health, seldom;
waste of time, never.
As we must render an account of
every idle word, so must we likewise of
our idle silence.— St. Ambrose.
When religion is made a science,
there is nothing more intricate; when a
duty, there is nothing more plain.
‘I have a shelf’ says Cecil, ‘in my
study, for tried authors, one in my mind
for tried principles, and one in my heart
for tried friends.’
Justification. —Briefly the sum of all in
one sentence: Christ is the meritorious
cause, faith the appointed instrument; and
works the declarative evidence of our
justification.
He that is good will infallibly become
heller, and he that is bad will as certainly
become worse: for vice, virtue, and time,
are three things that never stand still.
There are four good mothers, of whom
are often born four unhappy daughters.
Truth begets hatred; prosperity, pride;
security, clanger; and familiarity, con
tempt.
A premium was once offered for the
best description, in English verse, of the
first miracle of ourSavious. The writer
of the following was the successful com
petitor:
‘The conscious water saw its God. and blushed.’
There is this difference between happi
ness and wisdom; he that thinks himself
the happiest man, really is so; but be
that thinks himself the wisest, is general
ly the greatest tool.
The man who has so little knowledge
of human nature, as to seek happiness
by changing any thing but his own dis
positions, will waste his life in fruitless
efforts, and multiply the griefs which he
purposes to remove.
Charles It, hearing the celebrated
Vossius, a free-thinker, repeating some
incredible stories about the Chinese, turn
ing to those about him, said, “This learn
ed divine is a very strange man; he be
lieves every thing but the Bible.”
“To acquiesce under a report in si
lence,” sailh Tristram Shandy, “is to ac
knowledge it openly—at least in the opin
ion of half the world; and to make a bus
tie in contradicting it, is to confirm it as
strongly in the opinion of the other half,”
Do nothing against thy conscience eith
er for fear or love; in things that are
doubtful, have recourse to the Holy Scrip
tures, and the guides who are set thee over
by God, for thy soul’s good; and if thou suf
ferest for thy obedience here, the bright
er shall be thy crown of glory hereafter.
Childhood is like a mirror, catching
and reflecting images all around it. Re
member that an impious or profane
thought uttered by a parent’s lips may
operate upon a young heart like a care
less spray of water thrown upon polished
steel, staining it with rust, which no af
ter scouring can efface.
Christianity did not come from Heaven
to be of an idle hour, to
be the food of mere imagination; to be “as
a vciy lovely song of one that hath a
pleasant voice, and playeth well upon an
instrument.” No; it is intended to be the
guide, the companion of all our hours; it
is intended to be the serious occupation
of our existence.— Bishop Jebb.
A Keen Reply.— Wesley, in a con
jmlefable party, had been maintaining
with great earnestness, the doctrine of
Vox Populi, Vox Dei, against his sister,
whose talents were not unworthy of the
family to which she belonged. At last 1
’he preacher, to put an end to the con- ;
troversy, put liL argument in the shape i
of a dictum, and said, ‘I tell jou, sister,
the voice of the people is the voice of
God.’ ‘Yes,* she replied mildly, ‘it cried
crucify him, crucify him!’ A more ad
mirable answer was perhaps never given.

State Agricultural Association ol Georgia.
We had the gratification of witnessing
the proceedings of this useful and highly
praise-worthy association, during its sit
tings on Wednesday and the forenoon of
Thursday last, in the town of Sparta. At
the last annual meeting of this body, in
Millcdgeville, a resolution was adopt
ed that the next session should he held in
Milledgeville, or any other place in the
Slate, which the President and Executive
Committee might deem suitable and pro
per. They selected Sparta as the place
of holding it this year, because the Han
cock Agricultural Club was to have its
annual meeting in that place the same
day.
We do not propose to give a detailed
account of all the proceedings of either
association, or of the many interesting
objects which were exhibited for public
inspection.
'file Slate Society was organized in the
Female Academy, on Wednesday fore
noon by the President (Governor Craw,
ford) taking the chair, and Mr. D. W.
Lewis acting as Secretary.
Hut little was done during this sitting,
hut the reception of the credentials of de- j
legates from the auxiliary societiesand ap
pointment of committees to make suitable j
arrangements fi»r the business of the as- j
sreiation. After the above was accnm
plished, the association adjourned lo meet j
the next morning at II o’clock.
Pursuant to adjournment, the society
met the next morning at the appointed
hour, and upon motion it was resolved
that the annual address be made before
proceeding to other business, whereupon,
Governor Crawford arose and delivered, •
in his happy style, a beautiful and prac- j
tical address, which was received with
the most marked attention and gralifica- !
lion bv a crowded and intelligent assent- !
bly.
We took notes of his remarks, with a !
view to giving an extended account of j
them, but as they will be published, we I
decline doing so, lest we might do them ■
injustice.
We therefore offer only a few ohser- |
vations, not intending by them to convey ;
even a synopsis, or general view of the j
whole speech.
The President was felicitious in his i
remarks upon the wants of man in a ci- !
vilized, compa red with a savage stale, and ;
his allusions to the repose of Eden and
the subsequent necessity of man’s obtain- |
ing his bread by the sweat of his brow, i
The qualifications of a good farmer
were port raved with a power w hich proved i
that the speaker, amidst the duties of a |
laborious profession and much political ;
service, had not been negligent of the
study of the great, delights ul and important •
principles and pursuits of scientific and
practical Agriculture. This was still
further illustrated, in those useful ohser i
vations which he made, to point out to the
cultivators of the soil the surest methods I
of obtaining the most ample success and ,
the most profitable returns for their c.\- j
erlions and toil.
While he d*vclt upon the aids of Sci
ence, of Geology, Botany and Chemistry, |
he laid down the doctrine that they were
not to set aside experience, but to be .
brought up as assistance lo that great (
foundation of all true systems of improve
ment in the culture of the soil.
His remarks on the importance of j
manuring, useful and practical, were
enforced by the striking observation, the |
f>rce of which will readily he fell by all, j
that Nature itself was carrying on a sys - I
tern of annual manuring. Shall men,
then, do violence to nature, its works and
its laws, by seizing upon its fertility, not
properly to enjoy and use it, but lo con
sume and destroy it?
We could but feel proud ol Georgia, 5
when the speaker with so much beauty j
and justice, compared its climate to the ;
balmy salubrity of that of Italy—when j
bespoke of her many and immense re- :
sources—of the necessity and value of an :
ample application of the benefits of the
mechanic aris, of manufacturing, of a
diversity of pursuits, lo the prosperity of
her citizens—and when, after a forcible
detail of the same, he said, “Do you ask
me what Georgia shall be? ’ and answer
eel, “What you are pleased to make her.” I
We would extend our review of this
excellent address, and say something of
his remarks upon the rotation of crops—
the duties which one generation have to
perform for another, in transmitting vein
able information and experience to them—
the inestimable value of education and
other pleasing topics—but that they will
he found so much more usefully detailed
at large, when the add ress itself is given
lo the public.
After it was delivered, the reports of
various committees, which had been ap
pointed at the last annual meeting, lo ex
press their views upon certain important
agricultural subjects, were called for and
some of them read. Some of the com- !
mittee.s were not present, probably owing i
lo the inclemenby of the weather. These ;
reports will hereafter be published, ami j
we will then spread them before our i
readers. They have reference of course, j
to various departments of the agricultural j
inteiest, such as the best methods of pre- j
venting hilly land from washing, ofdrain
ing wet lands and swamps-, of cultivating
cotton and corn, of preparing land for~
wheat, oats, barley, &c., and of preparing
the seeds for sowing—of raising horses
and mules, sheep, hogs and cattle, in the
least expensive and most advantageous j
1 manner, and other kindred subjects of
vast importance to every interest of so
j cietv.
We loft Sparta while Ihe evening ses
sion was going on, and, consequently,
are not able to report the proceedings
which then took place. We understood
that the object was to appoint commit
tees to make future reports, and to ap
point some one to make the next annual
address, after doing winch the conven
tion no doubt adjourned sine die.
W e cannot forbear saying a few words
about the exhibition of stock, domestics,
&c., which were made on both of the
days referred to. This Department of
the Fair, was mostly contributed to by the
I intelligent and enterprising citizens of
j Hancock. A much greater display would
have been made from other counties and
| more distant places, but for the inc ement
state of the weather. Wednesday, par
! ticnlarly, was rendered very disagreea
ble by cold, and those kind of blustering
winds, which are so fond of frolicking
with cloaks and hats to the great annoy
; ance of I lie weaiers. We saw quite a
j number, who, their hats being probably a
little too small, or large, had to contend
! for them in a match race with the spor
' live gale.
Notwithstanding the number of ani
: mals, of various kinds, was not as great
as was anticipated, still there was a very
respectable display. We will not enu
merate those that we saw, most worthy
of admiration for beauty, blood, perforrn
| ances, etc., as that will be given to the
public in a detailed statement of the
| awards, premiums, &c. But we cannot
: omit to express our gratification at see
| ing the large hog exhibited by Mr. .1.
Knowles. He weighed one thousand
: pounds in a pair of balances, in the pre
sence of a large number of citizens. We
understand that there were several others
in the county of Hancock, nearly if not
quite as large as this one. A sight of
this hog alone, afforded a plausible ground
i so«- visitors to say, upon returning home S
| that they “had seen the elephant.”
We have not time to enlarge upon the i
1 various kinds of roots and grains, such
! as beets, turnips, potatoes, corn, &c. &c.,
which were so well calculated to excite
I attention and interest, nor can we more
; than merely allude to the splendid varie
| tv of domestic goods and manufactures,
! of counterpanes, shawls, crewel work, and ;
i the like, which excited the admiration of j
i 7 1
■ every beholder.
These domestics and ornamental works,
* i
' were the productions of the skill and in- j
gennity of our fair countrywomen, and I
were evidences of their excellent taste, as
! well as commendable interest in domestic j
! improvements.
We saw some sent from a considera- |
| ble distance, and among others, some i
beautiful pictorial crewel woik, by a ;
i young lady of the district of Columbia.
We would be glad, if we could do so.
I to particularize several specimens of use- I
: ful skill in the mechanic arts, but they
will bn made known in the report of the I
| appropriate committees. —We were glad
to see a number of dislin- guished and
public spirited gentlemen present from
various sections of the State and can but
| express the sanguine hope, that these
efforts ofthe State and county associations, t
for the improvement of Georgia agricul
| ture will be crowned with signal success
and wide spread and permanent good.
It may not be amiss to state, that a
; splendid Fair, gotten up by the ladies of
the Methodist Church, was held on Wed
nesday evening. The tout ensemble of
this latter affair, was every way credita
ble to the taste of its originators and is
i calculated to excite the admiration of
; every beholder. In conclusion, we have
' no doubt, that the triple proceedings of
; the iState Agricultural Association, the
I Hancock Agricultural Club, and the La-
I O 7 j
! dies’ Fair, will be remembered as afford- I
ing an occasion of gratification and en
joyment, much the greater from the asso
ciation of honorable effort to improve our
State and country, and the generous es- i
forts of the gentler sex to accomplish ob
jects of kind utility and extended benevo- I
lence.
GEN. WORTH.
The N. O. Bulletin, undertakes loaf- |
I firm, after an inspection ofthe Army
j l * * j
Register, that the story, which com-
I menced with a Memphis paper, and has
been widely circulated, that Gen. Worth
sprang from the ranks , is entirely un
: founded; and infers very reasonably, that
1 the accounts of his “stout athletic frame,”
his “positive and reckless tone,” and his
1 “consequential air,” are equally ficti
| lions; It appears from the last official
army list, says the Bulletin, “that Gen.
Worth’s first appointment bears date ‘l9lh
March, 1813, First Lieutenant Infantry. 5
Now, had be been raised from the ranks,
j he could not have been made, at once. , a
First Lieutenant. And besides, the word
‘army’ is inserted in the margin of the
list, to designate the officers promoted from
the ranks; and this does not appear with
General Worth’s name in the list now
before us. There are here present at
New Orleans, officers and others who
have known Gen. Worth throughout his
whole military life, and even before, and
' who can hear testimony to the entirely
I fabulous character of the story of the en
! listmenf, the defence of his fellow soldier,
and all the etceteras of this romance of
real life.”
is the Spanish noun pro-
I per for the English word James. The
I word has come into this form, with the
saintly prefix thereto, from the fact that
James, brother to John the Evangelist, in
the Scriptures, has ever been and stili is
recognized by the people of that country
as the patron saint of Spain. It is pro
perly written out as one word, Santiago,
instead ofSant lago or Santo Jago. For-
merly the letters I and J were often used
indiscriminately, in the Spanish as in the
Latin language, which will explain why,
and in what manner, Santo, is syncopa
ted, when used as a prefix to a word com
mencing with a vowel.

SENATOR GEO. Me DUFF IE.
During the past summer vve announced to
the public, the intended resignation of this
distinguished statesman. That resignation
has now been made, and the Governor has
| communicated the fact to the Legislature,
I accompanied by Gen. McDuffie’s letter,which
will be found below.
On a former occasion, we endeavored to
express the profound sympathy we felt at the
cause which induced Gen. McDuffie’s resig
nation, It may not be inappropriate to re
; peat in some measure, what vve then wrote.
; Gen. McDuffie has been before the country
for the last quarter of a century; during
i which period, lie has been identified with
every great measure of political interest.—
i While his high probity of character lias only
I been not superior to his intellectual ele a-
I lion; his standing in all that belongs to the
statesman, has been illustrated by those attri
butes, which will make him known to pos
terity as one of the great minds of this age.
In no portion ofthe Legislative annals of our
country, will there be found more highly
wrought and convincing evidence of the
O “
opinions entertained by him on questions of
| commerce and finance, than in Ins speeches.
Bold and vehement in debate, his argumen
; tation, has never been the result of mere im
j pulse; but conceived in the calmness of philo
sophic seclusion, and enforced with the re
sisitess energy of an attack in the field. To
| no one in ibis confederacy has more univer
! sally been awarded the credit of a high, and
; unquestionable devotion to the interests of
I bis country, while to his own Btate lie lias
borne a love so pure and true, that no one
will ever live in her bosom, whose life will
have been more usefully spent—whose suc
cess shall be dearer—or who hi retirement
shall more richly curtain a hie of labor and
usefulness, with the love—the confidence,
and esteem of every son of hers—without
distinction of party. We have all been ac
customed to pause in admiration before the
picture in England's History, where one of
her sons, whose name is forever identified
with the proudest days of her national glory,
breathed out his life, in the debate with
which be had fashioned her fortunes—his
spirit fled with the lightning flash, that came
from his own soul. As beautiful and touch
ing will be the picture in which bis cotempo
raries and posterity, will see illustrated the
cbaracterof George McDuffie. Not sudden
ly extinguished, but gently will the curtain
of life, be drawn around him, gradually ob
scuring but never impairing the brilliancy
of an intellect, that knows no superior; the
devotion of a soul, spurning the seductions |
of power or place.

THE TRUE RELATIONS OF PRODU
CER AND CONSUMER.
Many of the good people of the Smith, ate
taught, somehow or other, to believe that
protection benefits the consumer as well as
the producer. This doctrine, although it j
may gull the simple, unsuspecting portion of ;
the people, never deceives the sharp, quick .
sighted manufacturer, who is accustomed I
to count the cost of every thing. The |
manufacturers of woollen cloth assure us
that a duty upon woollen goods will have the
inevitable tendency to cheapen the price,
and instances a dozen facts to prove the truth
of their assertion. But whoever heard of a
woollen manufacturer asking fora duty upon
raw wool, or upon madder, or indigo, or any
other article of which he is a consumer. He
never practises what he preaches, the Doctor
takes care not to swallow his own physic.
A case in point.
The colliersof Virginia have united forces
with the iron miners, to procure an increase
of protection for the two articles in which
they are respectively interested. They write
a most eloquent circular, in which they speak
very feelingly of the necessity of “protecting
American Industry,” and the beauty of the
“American system.” But the Non hern manu
facturers will call for a division of the ques
tion; they make iron, and they can see im- ;
mense advantages resulting to the whole ;
Republic, toevery man, woman and child in
it, from the duty upon iron; but they use
coal, and whilst they can get Pictou coal
under the low duty cheaper than that from ;
Virginia, they cannot see how the same
principle applies >o this article.
This result was predicted by a member of
the Virginia meeting, who was candid enough j
to admit, thorough Whig as he is, that in
seeking an increase of dulies, the manufac- 1
Hirers would look chiefly to their own in
terests.
Thus, whilst the manufacturers are ever
acting upon the doctrine, 1 hat protection en- I
ures wholly to the benefit of the producer, I
the theoretical supporter of the “American i
system,” remembering how small is the pro- j
portion of producers, whom that system pro- !
lects, compared with the host of consumers
whom it oppresses, deny the principle; and
oblivious of the great practical truth which is
the every day guide of business men, are
driven to support the ridiculous paradox that i
when the seller gets more, the buyer pays j
less.
Excellent. —ln the M. E. Church in j
this place, on Sunday morning last, some |
new arrangements were announced as I
the order of occupying seats. A brother, |
and certainly not a Benjamin in years, ;
arose to explain. “The old gentlemen,”
he remarked, ‘may still continue to oc
cupy the seats on the left of the pulpit,
and the old ladies those on the right.’
Well, night came, and the audience came
to lake their seats according to the new
arrangement. The old gentlemen stood
their ground pretty well, except the broth
er who made the annunciation had sloped J
to another part of the Church —he was :
not to be found among the old ones,
though like ourself, old enough to be a ;
grandfather. But of the old ladies, God
bless ’em. there were none in Church —
notone —the seats so kindly appropriated I
them were empty. — Georgia Jeffersonian.
The Quaker Rebuked. —The Duke of
Gratton being fox hunting onedav near
o o •
Newmarket, a quaker, at some distance, |
upon an eminence, pulled off his hat, and
gave an’‘Hoicks, tally ho!’ 'The hounds
immediately ran to him, and being drawn
ofl the scent, were consequently at fault,
which so enraged the Duke, that galloping
up to the offender he asked him in an
angry tone,
‘Art ihou a Quaker?’
‘I am, friend,' replied ihe Quaker.
‘Well, then,’ rej fined his Grace, ,as
you never pull off to a Christian, I will
thank you in future not to pay that com
plimenl to a fox.’

Mr. C. E. Johnson, the Daguerreotypist,
continues daily to draw from the great lumi
nary of Heaven, trophies alike of this great
modern discovery, and of his remarkable
skill in applying it. His rooms are still
visited in great numbers by those desirous of
obtaining at a very moderate price, fine spe
cimens of art, to adorn the centre tables
of their parlours, and which will at the
same time remain durable mementos of cher
ished friends. In this last respect, this pro
cess is doubly valuable, and will serve to
gratify the most sacred feelings. For though
it cannot, like Joshua of Old, command the
sun to stand still, yet with its beams does
it write upon tablets that which will defy
“lime’s effacing fingers.” The eye, sparking
vv ith genius, or beaming with the steady lustre
of friendship, the smile, betokening a bright
and joyous- spirit, or speaking the true elo
quence of domestic affections—the roseate
hue of health, mantling over the cheek of
beauty—the brow ofage, placid with the chas
tening influences of time, albeit marked with
its deep furrows, all these are perpetuated to
speak to distant friends and to after times.
They are portrayed too, not in the colours
of flattery, or traced by the rude hand of a
tyro, but with pencils of light as unerring as
they are brilliant. The sun is the great
Artist. Man is but the humble assistant;
but by the aid of this marvellous discovery, he
is enabled from the great source of light,
“To catch a grace beyond the reach of art.”
Having often visited the rooms of Mr.
Johnson, vve feel justified in staling, that we
consider him capable of giving to all, who
will sit to him, specimens of the perfection
of the art which he has so successfully
studied.
MISB LESLIE’S CONCERT.
To-morrow evening, an attractive enter
tainment will be offered to tbe public, at the
Masonic Hall. The favorable notices which
the Charleston papers have given Miss Les
lie and her associates, induce us to expect
something “rich and rare” on the occasion.
The young lady, it is said, has a sweet
voice, and sings with good taste.
The Banjo player, Mr. Flitter has the rep
utation of being unsurpassed in this country
upon that primitive instrument.
Mr. Smith is said to be “some pump
kins” on the Tambourine.
A Programme various and attractive which 1
has been shown us will be put forth to-mor

tention of the public.
SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.
An intelligent friend, who arrived last eve
ning direct from Columbia, S. C., informs
ns that Chancellor David Johnson, will be
elected Governor without opposition.
Hon. F. 11. Elmore, Judge Butler and Gol.
F. W. Davie, are the candidates to fill Mr.
McDuffie’s vacancy in the U. 58. Senate.
Mr. Elmore will probably be elected.
Mr. Wm. F. De Saassure, is the most p»o
--minent candidate for Chancellor to fill the ex
pected vacancy of Chancellor Johnson.
Judge O’Neil is the most prominent candi
date for President of the Slate Bank, to fi.l
the expected vacancy of Mr. Elmore.
O* The Chronicle vainly attempted yes
terday to show that the Sub-Treasury Law
compelled the officer who had the Govern
ment draft for eight hundred dollars on the
Deposite Bank in Charleston, to go to
Charleston and present the check in person.
The section of the Sub-Treasury law
quoted for that purpose shows no such thing.
The following is the portion of the 20th sec
tion apropos to this point :
“Or when those means are furnished to
him in drafts, shall cause those drafts to be
presented at their place of payment.”
This certainly does not require the officer
logo in person, “at an expense to the Gov
ernment of eighteen or twenty dollars,”
This draft might have been sold, at par ,
in Augusta. We have authority for this
assertion. But the officer probably sought a
purchaser nowhere but among tbe Banks,
who always expect, as a matter of course,
to make something, directly or indirectly,
every time they count money in the way of
Exchange, &c.
Our assertion that the public conviction
will not be shaken by his anecdote, “that the
less Government has to do with Banks the
belter,” the Chronicle calls “a bold as
sumption.”
It seems at any rate that the Whigs have
vainly sought to shake that conviction by
ten or twelve years of industrious clamour
and attempts at panic-making. The doc
trine of a separation of “the Government and
the Banks” however, has stood the test of
popular discussion, and the popular vote.—
The people have deliberately willed a separa
tion, and vve are not apprized that they have
any intention to reverse that decision.
SJT Tampico contains about 4.000 inhab
itants, but there are two towns adjacent, al
most connected with it. called Pueblo Vieja
and Altamira, which considerably increase
the population on that part of the Coast of
Moxiro. Commodore Perry tells us that he
was scarcely before Tampico half ao hour,
when he was despatched away on the mission
which he has so soon consummated. On
the summons to surreuder the town being
made, a deputation composed of the authori
ties and principal citizens, waited on Com
modore Conner and intimated their readi
ness to comply. Commissioners were then
appointed, and the usual stipulations being
made and accorded, regaiding the due pro
tection to life and property, usual among civ
ilised nations, the Stars and Stripes soon
floated over this bloodless conquest.— Com,

Anecdote. —The following “good ’un” ia
related in the N. V. “Spirit of the Times.”
It occurred at the trial of a young man of
very respectable parentage, whose family
j were old triends to the Recorder, the late
Richard Riker. Having been convicted, tlm
“young gentleman” was requested to stand
up whilst sentence was being passed. As
usual, tbe Recorder commenced with great
i severity —expatiating at length on the enor
mity of tlie offence—then branching out into
a succinct and minute account of the family
of the subject before him; showing what
great advantages had been thrown an ay by
him—descanting on his father’s grief, grav
hairs, &c.—and “squandering” himself on a
descripiion of bis venerable mother’s hopes,
blighted and nipped in the bud, &.c. &c.—
and finally clo.-ed by sentencing him to
six moinlis on the Island, when every hodv
else looked at him as sure for at least three
years. He then asked him if he had anything
to offer in mitigation of his sentence.
“Well I guess not,” replied the hopeful
youth, “and it I had, I don’t think it would he
of much use; but look here, my old cock! I’ll
tell you what I’ll do— l'll just go you heads
or tails whether it. shall be a year or nothing .”
Abstemious Diet. —Many cases of illness,
both in adults and children, may be readily
cured by abstinence from all food. Head
aches, disordered stomachs, and many other
attacks, are caused often by violating the
rules of health, and in consequence, some
part of the system is overloaded, or some of
the organs dogged. Omitting one, two or
three meals, as the case may be, gives the
system a chance to rest, and allows the
clogged organs to dispose of their burdens.
The practice of giving drugs to “clear out
the stomach,” always weakens the system
while abstinence secures the good result,
without doing any injury.
Said a young gentleman to a distinguish
ed medical practitioner in Philadelphia—
“ Doctor, what do you do for yourself, when
you have a turn of headache, or other slight
attacks?”
“(to without my dinner,” was the reply.
“And it that does not cure you, what then?”
“Ho without my supper.”
“Rut if that does not cure you, what then!”
“Go without my breakfast. We physi
cians seldom fake medicines ourselves, or
use thorn in our families, for we know that
starving is better, but we cannot make our
patients believe rs." ?
Many cases of slight indisposition ore
cared by a change of diet. Thus, if a per
son suffers from constipation, has headache,
slight attacks of fever, or dyspepsia, the
cause may often be removed, by eating rye
mush and molasses, baked apples and other
trails.— Domestic Receipt Hook.
OtT’There are a few win practise
charily, but the many confine themselves#
to recommending it.
