Trofnnity- It is written, thou
-shilt not tnkr; tii'i name of the
Lord thy Go 1 in vain only see
uh.tt wicked oulis some will
belch out, ami call upon God to
flam n their fellow creatures. And
when they are commanded not to
bear false witness, see how they
will swerve from the truth, and
devour one another by false
swearing. Audit is written, thou
shaft not commit nduhery see
how many there are that
defile their neighbor' wives and
fiauqh;ers, even to the destroying
the p-ace of families, and some
times causing bloodshed and mur
der. And some that are not so
bold and daring, it is a shame to
Speik of those things which are
done by then in secret. It i
common when a man takes up
with lewd women, the wife has to
suffer; hence many good and vir
tuous women have to drag out a
life of misery often drove from
their homes and children, 'and of
ten beaten, cursed and abused,
and sometimes their lives taken;
"while at the same time the man
will appear from home a, a social,
kind man. And it is written,
thou shalt not steal only see how
many will take tkeir neighbors'
property, in the dead of night,
when he is asleep; and the same
man will talk as much about hon
esty as any man, and many such
subjects come to the gallow?. It
seems they have times and places
to meet to serve their master the
devil, and when they get together,
it appears that one of them un
dertakes to be steward for the
others, to dish out their intoxica
ting draughts. When they meet
they appear to be in good fellow
shipthe first thing is to take
several draughts of intoxicating!
liquor, and then they appear like
brothers they will likely under- j
take some kind of gambling, and ;
you will hear every one's tongue j
going at the same time, and it is
not long before they bpgin to con
tradict one another; then :
begins blasphemous oaths, and
satan makes them believe they ;
have abundance of honor, they '
cannot bear to be contradicted '
nor have their word disputed.
About this lime they pour into ,
them a double portion of intoxica- j
ting liquor, then see what follows,
they s-eem like devils incarnate
how they will curse, abuse, and
fight one another; some wallowing
in the mud, some tumbling into
the fire, and after the fray is over,
then call on their steward for
another cup of intoxicating liquor
to make friends, which he readilv
obeys, which is disgusting. And
at the same time many have left
their wives and children without
the necessaries of life. And after
going on at that rate for some
length of time, their steward sends
the officer and takes from the
poor distressed wife and children
all the property lie can find, and
leaves them bare and naked to
mourn and grieve. B.

"Frcri harmony, from heavenly
narmOny
This universal frame began,
From harmony to harmony,
Through all the compass of
the notes it ran.
Poetry and prosrare the two
great and first classes into which
all writing is divided. Under
the two are included all literary
composition and narrations.
The poetical style, though less
used than prose, is limited
to no particular purpose, no class
of ideas or subject. Narrations
and records of almost every thing
but stern law and stubborn math
ematics have been made to yield
to the trachees, spondees, ana
pests, and feet of poetry. Histo
ry, philosophy, and various practi
cal views and thoughts have been
used to mingle in its harmony,
and on its merits have winced
their way from age to age, and to
ikT.ru and r.iiu: i vncre, tw- les
rm-llitluoui prose wa never per
mitted to enter. The peculiarity
of poetry, and what constitutes its
difference from prose, consists in
the ease with which words and
sentences are chosen by the writer,
and in the measured order with
which they are arranged so as to
make a harmony of sounds and
at the same time convey to the
reader distinct ideas and mike
cood sense. The talents required
to make good poetry rank among
the highest order inherent in or
attainable by man. But the
opinion?, judgments, and tastes
for poetry are various. The har
mony of poetry say you is dry
music for me. So might the
thirsty man say if he were con
fined insight and hearing of the
rippling brook, and had no means
of obtaining its water to cool his
parching throat. The music of
poetry, says your friend, is pleas
ant to my ears and enlivening to
my understanding; so says the
weary traveller of the refreshing
stream, when he can repose on its
banks and drink of its plenteous
waves. It is the oul-stirring
harmony and the peculiar elo
quence of poetry, which have en
listed the most profound talents of
the world, and enabled individuals
to inscribe their names on the
monument of everlasting fame.
From pjetrv thev have caught

in return they
have scattered the sparks abroad in
a hungry world to every sv m-1

blackness and despair. It is by
the peculiar eloquence and harmo
ny of poetry, that we are led to
behold the works of nature and of
nature's God, with more correct
ness than by any other mean3.
Poetry awakens the latent springs
of the mind, and piv es new lite,
-
new color, and additional import- i
auce to things discerned through
the corporeal senses; in a word, it
is spice to the material world and
a stimulus to mental existence and
mental enjoyment.
Many subjects and events which
tire and stupifv the mind when
narrated in prose, dressed out in
the eloquence and harmony of
poetry warm the heart, enliven
the spirits and improve the un
derstanding. Such are some of
the estimable peculiarities attach
ed to poetry, and such are some
of the advantages to be derived
from it by the person that has a
taste for refinement, and a love for
intelligence and improvement.
COMMON SENSE.
IMPORTANT.
The Question Settled. By the
packet ship Napoleon, from "Liv
erpool, intelligence has been re
ceived that, on Saturday, the 16lh
of April, the indemnity bill was
carried, in the Chambe'r of Depu
ties, by the decisive voteof2S9
to 137, covering the whole a
mount due under Uie treaty con
ditionally, however, of an amica
ble explanation in relation to the
President's Message. It is prob
able that Mr. Livingston will re
turn home with all possible expe
dition. The following remarks are ex
tracted from a London and a
Liverpool paper.
London April 2st. "The
Paris papers which we received
at a late hour this morning by
exprtSr, put u in possesion of
the whole report of Saturday's
proceedings in the Chamber of
Deputies, by which we find that
the debate on (he American claims
has been brought to a close. The
bill, as amended by committee,
proposing a grant of 25,000,000f,
was voted by a majority of 289
against 127. According to an
amendment proposed by General
Valaze, to which ministers assent
ed, and which was agreed to by
the Chamber, the indemnity is not
to be paid until after the French
Government shall have received
satisfactory explanations with re
gard to the message of the Presi
dent of the Union, dated Decem
ber 2, 1634.
Two other amendments one,
that no interest should be paid,
and the other, that the interest
should only commence from the
date of the passing of the bill,
were both lost. From some ob
servations in the Journal des De
bates upon the passing of this bill,
it would appear that Mr. Livings-1
ton is not expected to remain at
Paris in his diplomatic character,!
nor return thither as Ambassador, ;
should he go to America. The'
Journal thus expresses itself:
thu
"It is probable that Mr. Livings
ton will think proper to be the
bearer himself to his government
of the account of all that has
passed here, in order not to ex-
pose himself a second time to the
(inconvenience of having his cor- j
respondence published. It is:
probable, also, that the American
government will think proper notj
to send him back to France, in;
order to spare him the inevitable!
Tir.es.
Liverpz'd, April 23. Th
protracted debate in the French,
Chamber ot Deputies on the A
merican Indemnity bill, was
brought to a close on Saturday,
when as we anticipated months
ago, the French made a virtue of
necessity, and the bill was carried
by a majority of one hundred and
N'tu-tico votes, there beinz2S9 for.
interest should be paid, and next,1
that the interest should commence;
only from the day on w hich the
bill was passed. The Chamber!
i ri - - -
of Deputies negatived these pro
positions: consequently, the whole
sum of 25 millionsfrar.es will be
paid, together with full interest
from the date of the treaty. The
arrears of interest will amount to
nearly 5,000,000 of francs. All,
therefore that France has gained
hv th r?plnv hi tti chKKi-
shuffling about the whole bnsine-s i
by the attempted tricking; by
the aim at national ?windlinir, a-
mounts to this: first, that the
national vanity has been sorelvj
wounded by the threats of the A
merican President; secondly, that
the honor of France has been
tarnished, in the eyes of Europe,
by this swindling transaction; and,
thirdly, that full interest must be
paid on the money since the treaty
was signed.
All things considered, France
comes out of the business in a
most pitiful aud unenviable man
ner. It will be a lesson to Louis
PhilliDpe for the future. As a
salvo, however to the wounded
vanity of the nation, the French
ministers have consented to insert
an article in the bill, to the effect
that not a single sous of the debt
shall be paid until the government
of the United States of American
shall apologize to the government
of France for the sharp passages
in the President's message, res
pecting the treaty. The Ameri
can executive apologize to Louis
Phillippe and his cabinet! They
would as soon eat the treaty as
humble themselves in this manner.
President Jackson might be in
clined to say, "If you assert that
you did not mean to play the
rogue, then I did not mean to call
you a scoundrel;" but this wou.'d
be an explanation from only one
part of the executive, and, conss-
qnently incomplete. Such a step
as this would require the joint
concurrence cf the President, the
Senate and the House of Repre
sentatives'; and, if we know any
thing of the Americans, they will
never give an apology for having
chosen their own way of forcing
France into the payment of a just
debt.
What will be done? Mast the
matter remain as it is? No such
thing. France must yield. The
idea of an apology will never be
made. Mr. Livingston will be
recalled, (his time of ofHce being
nearly at an end,) and the French
ministry will pretend that this is a
virtual acknowledgement, by the
U. States, that their ambassador
acted injudiciously! The Amer
icans will get their money, and
thev merit commendation for the
manly manner in which they have
asserted their rights. Cloak the
matter as you will, America has
frightened France into common
honesty. Liverpool Journal.

Tarboro1 Female Acadzzzy.
The Examination of the Students
in this institution took place on
Tuesday and Wednesday last.
A large number of ladies and
gentlemen attended as usual, and
we are highly gratified in being
enabled to state that they, as well
as the Trustees, were much
pleased with the proficiency of
the young ladies attached to the
Academy. We believe we ex
press the general opinion in
stating, that the superior advan
tages presented by this flourish
ing institution entitle it to a de
cided preference over most of
those in this section of the country.

that the work will be commenced

will probably be completed by
the first of June 1S36. The
