Just seventeen stlramers ago Eliza M. was
In the prime of youbg J and maiden beauty, as

rocky precipice. SBe Was just such a beino as
youth would love, f have seen her in the midst
of gayety; witb,a dijaple on her cheek, snd a
playfulness in her manner, uhich infused its
influence on those around her Many an eye at
such times was turned ; upon her with delight,
and many a rnemoiy firquenUy called u,i to
mind the smile thatlpfayed upon her counten
ance when directed towards him. She was at
such times in her proper sphere, for the whole
cast off her character then beamed foith : it spok
in piayiui throw ot a well turned aron; in the
graceful muvemenl of a sylph like form ; aod in
the tneriy step of a pretty fool. Yet, v. iih a ha
tural volatility, she possessed a noblf and gen
erous heart. In her intercourse with society it
was her intention to pursue a ccrrrct and honor
able course. But she Knew not heiself.
The winning grace of beauty, the smile of
gayety, and the ppwr of fashion, never failed
to draw admirers ajrund the form of women.
Eliza Murray knew the truth of this; she felt
ihe full forco of her ajUractionts; she could read

Dancing alone, then in the bey-day of hr
conquest, she had still felt at times the influ
ence wmcn passion is ever exerting oeros.
Among the many suitors which, appeared ne
fore her, Henry England! was all that '.he young
maiden could desire. He saw Eliza Murray,
gay, beautiful and a tractive, possessing with
all her volatility, reritleness in her manner, a
swejiess of temper, buoyance of fancy, and
ease in conversation whirh he admired. He
offered himself among ihe list of suitors for her
hand. .With the true spirit of an honorable
courtship, he unfolded to her his circumstances,
his, prdsJS and his p.ii tore hopes; desired an
intimate -knowT&tkre, (wiiling- that acquaintance
should bkis-witn to frienifsin, and ripen into love.
She, with tne arcent color wnicn lemaie rancy

character of a suitor dwelt uponlhe candid
manner in which he hdl !.an folded his purposes,

But when alone, her situation was viewed in its
proper light. . The Card had been taken go she
most and yet it migft possibly break off the
connection with England. She knew it was
wrong, but he will forjrve me, and moving at a
moment before a mirror she smiled with satis

merrily away with the exclamation, he cannot
withstand that. Bot jjter beauty -possessed not

evening after the balljalked over the forfeiiore

her error, she dwelt w jth apparent delight, up
on the gay scene of tie ball ; told of the mer

partner, and in the end endeavored lu ridicule

declares, ' I may a3 well get drunk on rum
as on fermented liquors." The insinuation
contained in this declaration is, cold-watermen
become intoxicated on wine, beer, ci
der, &c. Every one acquainted with tern
perauce men. knows that this insinuation is
generally, if not universally, false. But if this
were the facts, we all know that it would
not palliate in the least, the drunkard's crime
of intoxication One man becoming a
drunkard does not justify another's intem
perance, any more than one min becoming
a thief justifies another in stealing. But is
it true that to get drunk on distilled liquor
is .no wor'e than than to get drunk ion that
which 13 fermented ? In ardent spirits there
is no redeeming quality. It ha3 in it no
thing notirshing or refreshing to strengthen
or revive its victim; nor even tartness to
neutralize its alcohol in the least. The sys

become inebriated on ardent spirits Ts more
injurious to the body than it would he to
become equally so on fertiented hq'iors.

MEETING TO VINDICATE THE
CHARACTER OF JEFFERSON. ;
At a very numerous meeting of the peo
ple of Albemarle at theirCourt-house, in
Charlottesville, fiff the Sd of August, 1840,
(being court day,) held pursuanrto the call
made by a preliminary meeting of July 18th,
in order to consider a recent publication in
ihe (Philadelphia) Episcopal Recorder, re
flecting upon Thomas Jefferson
The assembly was called to order by Gen.
Wm. F. Gordon, who briefly recited the
wrong dons by the aforementioned publica
tion to the merce ry of Mr. Jtff.rson, and
to the henple of his county, in ascribing to
them feelings utterly at-war with the rever
ence which they cherish for him, and sug
gested the tone and character of the vindi
cation that oecame them. Then, on the
motion of Gen. -Ch,-Col. N. Bramham wa?
called to the Chair, and Mr. Luctan Minor
appointed Secretary.
Mr. Wm. C. Rives, as Chairman of thi
Committee of Twenty-one, appointed at the
preliminary meeting., then reported the fol
lowing preamble and resolution, which werej
unanimously adopted by the mcetirig, viz.
The citizens of Albemarle, here assem
bled, have seen, with deep and painful re
gret, certain strictures on the character and
memory of Mr.-Jefjfers)3 contained in a
letter of ihe Rev. S. 1J. Tyng, written from
Chailoltesvilc, under dale of the 27th May
last, and published in the Episcopal Re
coder of the lSth of June. Hiving been
made parties, in some sort, to this poslhu

peculiar- aversion and want of respect for
his name, to the erv neighborhood in which
he lived and died," and where the writer
alleges he found his character v xvotse than
even he, with he most unfavorable prepos
sessions, ever conceived it to be thej feel

WANT OF COURTESY A FAULT IN

1 The most striking and prevailing defects
ip the manners of Americans, i, I believe
the want of courtesy . This has probahfy
arisen from the general qualit) of rights, cob.
dititin. and education And it arises in part
from that maavaise Iumte or slyness, char
aVtetistic of our English ancestors, from
vhom we inherit it. A little reflection and
ninral cultivation would soon remedy this
defect. -What do I mean by courtesy,

young foreigner came to, the interior, antl

out. ! His writing table was placed before
the fire. When the women came shiver

coach, he moved his table to the coldest
cprVtfer of the room, mended the fire, drew
chains near it. aml'if they brought in foot
sfoves or blocks, he found the best places

uncomfortable seat, and pursued his writing
