3POESHY. THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. BY ISAAC P. BHEPARD. I ask not Fame; 'tis fleeting As breath of balmy eve; With glory' phantoms cheating, Twill nought but sadness leave; A suter good I would possess, A joy that liveth ever; That w hen is past the world's caiew, Despair may seize me never. 1 ask not gold; it bindeth To earth the spirit down; Its hireling slave ne'er findeth. Save but a demon's frown. It is the Tantalus of hell, Immortal minds tormenting, And wise are they who bicak its spell Ero life's last hour repenting ! I ask not power; it stilleth The soul's best thoughts of God; Wide earth with woe it filleth, And sways an iron rod. Soft beauty's charms I wculd not crave. For which are millions sighing; They pass away, as sinks the wave Along the sea shore dying; 1 ask not, friends; there livetb, Uut tew who bear trie iinne ; For boasted friendship giveth A swift, unstable fiame: If want is far, and hopes are bright, Men smile, with others smiling! But when comes near misfortune's night, They pass away reviling ! Tis not of arth, the treasure That satisfies the soul ; Its value nought can measure Frem north to-southern pole. The seraphs round the holy thiona' Its keepings well might covet, For none of all the treasures known In heaven is prized above it ! ' Tis found where tears are flowing Down contrite sinner's checks, Where hearts with love are glowing While Jesus gently speaks. The Star that rose in Bethlehem Points where is Heaven's best token Beneath the Cross thcte lies a gem, The Pearl of Price unspoken! THE MORAL COURAGE OF PAUL. The appearance of Paul before the Are opagus of Athens involved an exhibition of moral Courage that has seldom been equal led, and perhaps never surpassed, in the . history of man, lie was in the presence of the Statesmen, Philosophers, Orators, and Poets of the most intellectual and re fined nations upon earth. He was there to humor no popular sect, to flatter no na tional vanity, to move upon no springs of ambition or future fame, lie was there to unfold, to fortify and Tivet upon the judg ment and conscience of his enlightened au ditory, doctrines, at variance with every previous conviction and present impulse; doctrines totally subversive of that faiih in which they were born, in which their fa thers died, and which they wished to be queath to their offspring. He had no splendid and imposing form of worship, or mythological mysteries, to aid his arguments, vt conciliate the pride of his audience. He had no divinities peo pling each hill and vale, and grove and fount to take the places of those whom he disclaimed lie had only the pure abstr?ct conception of the one supreme, holy, find celf-exisling God: his universal providence and man's final accountability. He deliv ered his message as one raised by his mighty theme above the frown or the com. mendation of his hearers. He was too clear and discriminating for the subtil? snare; too earnest snd impressive for the sceptical jest, and too cogent and massive in thought for the dialectical evasion. And though no corresponding results were im mediately obvious, yet convictions were planted there which struck at length into the very heart of Greece: and which finally enthroned a forsaken God upon the affec tion and allegiance of a repentant nation. Phil. X. American. EDUCATE THE PEOPLE. Lrd Brougham says: If the people are unenlightened, they are the prey of every quack, impostor, every brawler about lib erty, and every agitator who may practice the trade in the country If they do not read; if they do not learn; if they do not qualify themselves to form opinions, other men will form opinions for them, not ac cording to their own individual anil selfish inteiest, which probably may be contrary to that of the people. The best security is found on political subjects and in good morals. Men die, but knowledge ever lives; and jt behooves parents to see what the chil dren learn, VVe have so few writers in this countrythat a great mass of knowl edge perishes with men when they cease to live. It should be the duty of parents and teachers, to form habits of thinking, actings-speaking, and writing well, in the young. Few professional men can be found t' write a readable letter, and not one in the thousand ever commit their pen to paper to benefit mankind. How much less the number of farmers, mechanics and business men. No wonder that quacks, i mpostors, and political brawlers mislead the public mind. HAIL. It is more easy to account for the forma tion of snow than of hail. Hail, however, is generally supposed tp be drops of rain frozen in their passage through the cold of the air; and the hail is always in propor tion to the size of the rain drop from which jt was firmed. But this meteor dries not appear to be formed from a single drop of water, as it is found to be composed of ma. ny small spherules frozen together, the centre sometimes eoft like snow, and at ether times formed of a hard nucleus, which in some cases has been of a brown color, capable of ignition and explosion. It is supposed that both snow and hail owe their formation to electricity; the hail being formed in the hipher rp --- wnere trie cold is intense, and the electric mailer abundant. IJy this agency it is supposed that a great number of aqueous particles are brought together and frozen, and in their descent collect other particles' so that the density of the substance of the hail stone grows less and less from the centre, this being formed first in the higher regions, and the surface being collected in the lower. This theory is not in all rases supported by fact, as in some instances the centre has been found soft and snow-like, when the surface has been hard. Hail is the only meteor of litis "kind, from which no apparent good can be de rived. Rain and dew invigorate and give life to the whole vegetable world; frost, by expanding the water contained in the earth pulverises and renders the soil fertile; snow covers and defends vegetables and grain f-om being destroyed by too severe a frost; but hail does none of these. It not only does no good, but often much harm. It has a chilling, blasting effect in spring and summer, and cuts the tender plants so as to injure or totally destroy. In short, the use of hail has not been ascertained, but frost is Cod's universal plough, by which he cultivates the whole earth. A STORY OF OLDEN TIMES. By a State law of the Slate of N. York, from December to April all persons were prohibited from killing deer, under the penalty of ten dollars, half the fine going to the complainant, and in default of pay ment, ten lashes on the naked back. A Yankee passing through the Slate of New York near Albany, in the month of January, observed a young Dutchman, from his barn door, squinting over his shovel at a deer about fifty paces from him, and soliloquising thus: "Mine Cot If I had mine gun here and it was not for the law, I would have some tcer for mine tinner." The Yankee had a rifle with him, and immediately shot the deer, and threw his rifle into the snow, unobserved by the Dutchman, and running up to him, said, "Ali! my good feilow, you have been kill 'ng a deer for I saw you you shot him with your shovel," "Mine Got!" replied the Dutchman, "I did not think it would go off 1 never had it go off before." "Well," said the Yankee, 'yoti have killed the deer, and I wiil go to the j'istice and complain of you, and make you pay your fine, unless you give me the skin and two dollars." "Veil," said the Dutchman, "though 1 did not think my lammed old shovel vouhl go off, dat is better dan pay ten dollars." So the bargain was concluded the Yan kee receiving the skin and two dollars leaving the Dutchman to take care of his venison. Before the Dutdimnn fcml time to con ceal the deer, another Dutchman came up and threatened to complain; upon which Hans the shovel shooter, related all that had passed between him and the Yankee. Vanderhaufon told Hans he had. been imposed upon; that the Yankee killed the deer himself. The two Dutchmen then pgrced to pursue the Yankee, and to bring him before the justice and have him fined. They soon overtook him, and carried him before the justice, and Hans entered his complaint, pro bono publico. Whereupon the justice, after hearing all the testimony, pro and con, and taking the subject matter into cool, serious, and dehbera'e considera tion, came to the conclusion that the Yan kee killed the deer with'a certain instru ment called a rifle, and that he pay a fine of ten dollars, or be whipped ten lashes. The Yankee chose the latter. The justice then ordered the "Yankee to be stripped, tied to a tree, and the whip applied. There being no officer present, the justice conclu ded to do the whipping himself, and at it lie went. After he had given the Yankee five lashes, and was proceeding to give him the other five, the Yankee bawled out: "Stop!" "Vot," said the justice, ihera is five more to come." The Yankee informed the justice that half the pay went to the complainant. "Du is de law," sail the justice, "untie the Yankee, lie up the Tutchman, and give him half the fine." A E. Review HEALTH OF DAUGHTERS. Mothers, is thrre any thing we can do, to acquire for our daughters a good consti tution? Is there truth in the sentiment sometimes repeated, that our sex is be coming more and more effeminate? Are wc as capable of enduring hardship as our grandmothers were? Are we as well vers ed in the details of housekeeping, as able to bear them without fatigue, as our no1 thers? Have our daughters as much stam. : r coiisiimiion, as much apti tude for domestic duties, as we ourselves possess? These questions are not interesting to us simply as individuals. They effect the welfare of the community. For the ability or inability of woman to discharge what the Almighty has committed to her, touch es the equilibrium of society, and ihe hid den springs of existence. Tenderly interested as wc are for the health of our offspring, let us devote pecu liar attention to that -of our daughters Their delicate frames require more care, in order io become vigorous, and are in more danger through the prevalence of fashion. Frequent and thorough solutions, a simple and nutritious diet, we should secure for all our children. But 1 plead for the little girl that -site may have air and exercise, as well as her brother, and that she may noi be too much clamed, if in her earnest play, she happens to tear and soil her apron. I plead lhat she may not be punished as a romp if 6he keenly enjoy those5 active sports, which city gentility proscribes. I plead thai the ambition to make Iter accomplished, do not chain her to tire piano, till the spinal col urnn which should consolidate the frame, starts aside like a broken reed; nor bow her over "the book, till the vital energy, which ought to pervade the whole system, mounts into the brain, and kindles the death-fever. Mrs. Sigourney. RISE EAKLY. Nothing is more conducive to health and excellence of every kind than early rising. All physicians agree hi this; and all per sons who have attained a good old age, in whatever particulars they might differ from each other, have been distinguished as ear ly risers. Some persons require more sleep than others; but it ma' be laid down as a general mle, that there is no grown person to whom a period of sleep longer than seven.or at the very most.eight hours, can be either necessary or beneficial. But a person in health may easily know how much sleep he requires, by going to bed every night at a stated time, and uniformly rising as soon as lie Wakes, however early that may be. By steadily pursuing this plan for a few days, or at most a few weeks, a habit will be Acquired of taking just the rest that nature requires, and regu larly awaking out of a sound and refreshing sleep to new victor and activity; and when this habit is thoroughly formed, it would be no less disagreeable dian useless and injurious for such a person, having once beheld the bright morning sun, to turn on his pillow and say, "A little more sleep, a lilt'e more slumber, a little more folding of the hands to sleep." Salutation. In some countries they rub noses; in others they pull one anoth er's eais; the Franks plucked out a hair and presented it; the Japanese take off their s.ipp?rs when they meet. In some of the South Sea Ulands, they spit in their hands, and then tub yoor face for you; in others, it is the height of politeness to fling ajar of water over your friend. In America, we nod, bow, courtesy, shake hands, take off our hats, or kiss; and the science con sists in knowing on what occasions, and with what persons, these respective modes of salutation are to be pursued. A countryman in one of the Western Slates with a load of meal, drove op to a lady's door, when ihe following brief con versation took place: 'Da you want any meal, ma'am?' 'What do you ask me for a bushel?' 'Ten cents, ma'am prime ! 'O, I can get it for a tip !' (In a despairing voice.) 'Dear Lad'jl will you take a bushel for nothing ' Is it eifted?' PROSPECTUS, For tuk Congressional Globe and Appendix. nTtIESE works hare now been publisried be Ju us for ten consecutive sessions of Congress commencing wirh the session of 1832-3. '1 bey have hail stub wid circulation, and have been so universally approved and sought after by the pub pic, that we. deem it necessary only in this prospec tus to say that they will be continued at the next session of Congress, and to state, succinctly, their contents, the form in which they will be printed, and the prices for them. The Congressional Globe is m&(3e up of the daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress. The speeches of the members are abridged, or con densed, to bring them into a reasonable, or reada ble length. All the resolutions ollercd, or mo tions niaJs, are given at length, in the mover's own words; and the yeas and nays on all the impor tant questions. It is printed with small type brevier and nonpareil on a double royal sheet, in quarto form, er.ch number containing 16 royal quarto pages. It is printed as fas' as the business done in Congress furnishes matter enough, for a number usually one number, but sometimes two Hembeis, a week. We have invariably printed, more numbers that there wcie weeks in a session The approaching session of Congress, it is expec ted, will continue 7 months; if so, subscribers may expect between 30 and 40 nunnVrs, which, together, will make between 500 awd 600 royal quarto pages. The Appendix is made up of the President's annual message, the reports or th jirmripai ciliceta of the Government that accompany it, and all the long speeches of members of Congress, written out ior revised by themselves. It is printed in the yme form as the Congressional Globe, and usual sa makes alout the same number -of pages. Here tofore. on account of the set speeches being so nu meious and -o long, we have not completed the Appendix until one or two months after the close of the session ; but, in future, we intend to print the spreeehes as fast as they shall be prepared, and of course shall complete the work within few days after the adjournment. Each of thece works is complete in itself; but it is necessary for every subscriber who desires a full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to have both ; because, then, if there should be any ambiguity in the synopsis of Ihe speech, or any de nial of its correctness, as published in the Congres sional Globe, the reader may turn to the. Appendix to see the speech at length, corrected by the member himself. Kow, there is no source but the Congressional Globe and Appendix, from which a person can ob tain a full history of the proceedings of Congress. Gales and fc-eaton's Kcgixter of Debates, which contained a history, has been discontinued for three or four years. It cost about five times as much for a session as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, aud did not contain an equal amount of matter, a great portion of'the current proceedings being omitted. VV e are enabled to print the Con gressional Globe and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by having a large quantity of type, and keeping the Congressional matter lhat ve set up fir the daily and semi-weekly G lobes standing for the Congressional Globe and Appendix. If we had to set up the matter purposely, for these woiks we could not nrl'ord to print them tor double the pric now charged. Complete indexes to both the Congressional Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close of each session, and sent to all "subscribers for them. We have on han 1 3,000 or 4,000 surplus copies of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the extra session, w hich make together near one thou sand roval quarto pages. They give the fullest history of Congress that has ever been published. We now sell them for 1 each; that is, 1 for the Congressional Globe, and SI lor the Appendix. We propose to let subscribers for the Congressional GIol and Appendix for the next session, have them for 50 cents each. 'J'lj- ill l necessary to understand fullv the proceedings of the nextscssion The important matters discussed at the last, ewi'l he brought Hi) at the next session, in conscquicc- of the universal dissatisfaction evinced in the lute elections w ith the vast and novel sv stern of policy whit h the new powers have introduced, and which was forced through Congress without consulting public opinhfn, Tr even allow ing the full discussion usual in regard to subjects of ordinary interest. The reports of the Congressional Globe aid Appen dix are not n UK! least degree adeeted by the paity bias of the Eduor. Tliey are given precisely as written out by tire Reporters and the members themselves. And trre whole are subject to the re- vision and correction of the speakers, as they pass in review in our daily sheet, in case anv misunder standing or misrepresentation of their remarks should occur. We makp a daily analysis of the doings in Con gress, and give our opinions in it freely, but this is published onlv in the Dail'v, Semi-weeklv, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is 10, the Semi-weekly Globe ;5,and the Weekly Globe i" per milium, in advance. The Weekly Glole is printed in the same foim as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, end a complete index made to ttai the end ol tuih year.

For the Appendix for the next session, one dol, lar per copy. - Six copies of either of the above works will be sent for live dollars twelve copies for ten dollars, and so on in . proportion for a greater uum- bor. Payments may be transmitted by mail, pottage raid, at our risk. ty a rule of the l ost Oliiee L)e paitment, postmasters are permitted to fiank letters containing money for subscriptions. The notes of any bank, current where a sul senber resides, will be received by us at par To insure all the numbers, the subscriptions should lie in Washington by the 15th December next, at farthest, though it is probable that we shalj print enough surplus copies to fill every subscrip tion that may be paid before the 1st day of January nest. rf Xo attention u-ill be. pa'd lo ar.y order an the money uccomfcnics it.
