that cannot be sustained by a course of souud

we know a tignt-iicartcd damsel once,
who had tlio misfortune to fall in love. She
fancied one,- who was in most respects her

in sighs, and its incense went up to him like
tho perfume of a holocaust from tho plains

He was without fueling, but lie could dis
course ; ho had no heart, for nature had
worked it all up into tongue, and like tho
tongno of the serpent, it wrought only ve

tho words which flowed from it. The maid
en became attached to him. She supposed
that his admiration was equal. to hers. It
was not his intention ta dishonor her, for
that would have involve! tho possession of
somo feeling on his part. lie had none.
His vanity was gratified by Iter love, and
he permitted her to lovo on, . , Why .she did

Tho greatest difference, Inuwcver, exists
between theco potentates and those who
have refused to submit to our rulo. I re
member well a scene which passed with one
of tlio latter, when I was secretary to the

arrived from the nawab of to the Bri-

with some difficulty that tho native envoy
would even consent to my being present, so
jealous was he lest the subject of his em

with honor in lho large halt of his magnifi

been mooted and settled, when 1 remaikcd
the envoy had fixed himself steadily on one
of tho glasses, as if ho beheld somo object of
interest hi it. He, "however, mado no re

terview was nearly over, when ho slowly
rose, and walked towards lho corner of tho"
room, lie saw lho surprise of Mr. B .
He read his astonishment at this strango
proceeding in lho midst of an important
discourso: butjie calmly turned round, and
remarked: ' . -

the - blow. Then turning, with a look of
triumph and satisfaction, to Mr. B ,hc
quietly iaid, " 1 knew it was so."
" Yo have killed somo one. I am sure

refusal to comply with this ordinance, or
the not being able to prove tho obtaining of
an honest livelihood,, was a capital ollence.
Similar laws were enacted -at' Athens by

and .Massachusetts Bay Laws we find scvo

edicts, Tho first was passed at a General
Court, held 4th June, 1039, and is as foj.

other evils occasioned thereby, it is enacted
by tho Court, that lho Grand Jurymen of
every town, shall havo power within their
several townships, to tako a special view
and notico of all manner of persons; mar
ried or single, dwelling in their several
towns, that have small means to mayntain
them, and aro suspected to Jivo idly and

of Assistants, after such delinquents shall

Governor shall bo adiudred iust and coual."
Inlti7I, tho annexed law was promul-
galcd'against " mispcndmg of timo :
' It is enacted by this Court,' ecc., 'that
no person, house-holder, or other, shall
spend his timo idly and unprofttably, under

Old maids. A sprightly writer express
ei his opinion of old maids in the following
rhanncr, and we cannot but Admit that there
is much justice in hw remarks : -
" I am inclined to believe that many of
the satirical aspersions cast upon old maids
tell more to their credit than is generally
imagined. Is a woman remarkably neat
in her person! ' Site will certainly be an
old maid V Is sho particularly reserved to
wards tho oilier sexT 'Sho has nil the
8qucamishncs of an old maioVt Is he
frugal in bur expenses, and exact in tier
douiestic concerns ? Sho is cut out for
an old moid.' And if alio is kindly humane
to the animals about her, notlung can save
herefrom the appellation of an old tiiaiuV
In short, I have always found that neatness,
modesty, economy, and humanity, are the
never faiiing'clwwcterislicj of that terrible
creature, ' an old maid !'."
True An obstinate man docs not hold
opinions, but opinion hold him. .

" Fortuno favors" tho bravo,", is an olJ
maxim, and It txiay.bo opplicublo to your -humble
servant 1 am out on my hook I
am opposed to tho dictation of the town of
Charleston, and tho rival village, tlio town
of Salisbury ; and for tho satisfaction of
my readers, for fear ilrey should not know
where the latter is, 1 will poiut it out and
give its locality : It is situated on tho borders
of tho great highway from Norfolk's mill
to York, or to give a more lucid and clear
description it js in tho vicinity of tlie cc
lebi ated Steam and Root Doctor, Peter Gar
rison. Both theso towns aro for Conven
tions to meet at theso places to nominate
candidates. I am unwilling to submit my
claims to cither of theso rival villages. - In
duo time I Nwi! canvass the county and
make known my sentiments. I am opposud
to every thing liko a town or stngo conch.
Towns were wholly unknown to tlie nncient
Greeks end Ilomansr"theyrare the inven-
vention of modern Whiggory, and places

and opposed to a man making a slave of
himself tojoin tho temperance society,
another invention of modern Whiggery, a'
substitute for Coon Skins and hard cider.
In conclusion, feltow-ciiizcnt, let me assure
you, that hod I lived in tho days of tlie Re
volution, a time which tried men's souls, I
would have been found io tlie foremost
ranks, and have fought, bled, and died for
my country, which I am willing to do should
