Johu Iouard. , Thii illustrious man, whose memory will be forever hallowed ia the hearts of all the cood of all nations. Was born in England in the year 17.17. Hiq early education wus exceedingly bad ; and tho result of it was that in his youth hi was given to many ex cesses. nndhir hcaltl(';waa very delicate. But subsequent study utid reflection induced him to reform his habits, to live temperately and soberly, and thus he retrained his health On All Saint day: 1755. the city of Lis bon , the capitol of Portugal, was almost to. tally destroyed by a dreadful earthquake.-y- iiuward no sooner lienrd of the disaster than he embarked for Lisbon with tho pur pose of sucdoriflg miserable inhabitants, who were without a roof to shelter them, without bread, and destitute of all resource. On his passage he was unfortunately taken prisoner by the French, conveyed to France. and thrust into a prison: which, as most were then, was low, damn, dark, and badly aired. He found himself in tho midst of criminals of various descriptions, for whom there was neither sympathy, consolation nor instruction. It was not to reform, but to punish them, that they were imprisoned. Upon almost any othef man such compa. ny would have had a disastrous influence; But upon Howard, no ; he, on the contra, ry, spent all his time in contrivances to render tho situation of his lellow prisoners more supportable, and, if possible, profita ble to them. , Being set at liberty, he devo. ted his entire life subsequently to the relief of tho sufferings of the poor and needy, especially prisoners.- 1 The unfortunate know how to relieve misfortune. At different periods Howard traversed most oi the countries of Europe England, reland, Germany, e ranee, Holland, Italy, Spain, Dcnmark.Svyitzerlandi Poland, lussia and Turkey, for the sole purpose ot visiting and relieving the prisoners, ana persuading tbe governments of thoso coun. ncs to make such alterations in their pri sons as that the well disposed might be sc. nurated from the corrupting influence of the vicious, receive the consolations of reli gion, the benefit of instruction, and relieve tho monotony and gloom of their confine ment by useful occupation. ' - 1 hanks to his benevolent exertions ! In the prisons of several of tho countries of Europe, but aioro ehpecially in those of the United States, criminals now instcrd of passing their time in idleness, corrupting each other's morals, a burden to themselves and o community, Ire uselulij' employed, are taught to read and to write, and at the expiration of their ttrm bf imprisonment to go forth generally with the knowledgewf a good irado, reformed in their habits and often, too, in their morals, and sometimes with money in their pockets, the fruit of their labors For the, purpose of defraying theexpen- scsoThis many journeys, and to be able to give to the suffering and tho poor, Howard limited his personal expenses to tho procu. ring tho bare neceswries of lilo. lie ate no meat, but bread, butter, and potatoes only, and drank no tvine. His greatest in dulgcnco was to regale himself upon ripe fruits when occasioimlly presented him by a friend. His charity extended even to bensts. Tle so common fate of horses, which are well fed whilst young and vigor ous, when old and enfeebled by hard ser vice, aro without pty delivered over to the flayer, excited his compassion. He appro, p riated to these poor beasts a Ja rgo pasture in which they might feed and repose. A princo once askcdJdm why ho was never found at parties.pf an evening. Be cause,' said he, I have many duties, the discharging of which, affords mo more sa. lisfaction than the pleasure of the prld.V It was proposed to erect a statue to him ; but he refused the honor, and requested that the money contributed for the object should bo appropriated to tho reliet ol prisoners and the poor. lie was ministering to those dying ot tne plague, when his own death occurred in TorkPVron- the-aotb of JanuarvW.

I looked at her own sallow cheeks and rickety teeth,- and cpuld not forbear suggesting to her how much she was inju ring her poor child's health. She stared in i artonishment, and pursued the process, no duubt wondering what I meant, and. how I could be so cruel as pot to allow pound cake to my child. Indeed, as may be easiiy supposed, it becomes a matter of no little dimculty to enforce my own rigid discipline in the midst of the various offers of dain ties which tempt my poor little girl at every tarn ; but I persevere nevertheless, and am not seldom rewarded by tho admiration which her . appearance of health and strength excites wherever she goes. I remember being excessively amused at tho woful condition of an unfortunate gen tleman on board one of the Philadelphia boats, whose sickly looking wife, exhausted with her vain attempts to quiet three sickly looking children, had in despair given them into his charge. The. miserable man fur. niched each of them with a lump of cake, and during the. temporary lull caused by this diversion took occasion to make ac quaintance with my child, to whom he ton- dered the same indulgence. Upon my re. fusing it for her, he exclaimed in astonish, mcnt i . -. " v""' . Why, madam, don't you allow the little girl cake?' No, sir.' What docs she eat, pray V as if people ived on cake generally. 4 Bread and milk, and bread and meat.'..

I suppose so too, but did not inquire whe ther the gentleman extended his inference. Female influence.

When we teas a young man we knew a thing or two ourselves about this femalo influence' of which we are speak. ing, which renders it quite useless to try to convince us that there is not something in it ; and" it was but the other day that a particular friend tapped us on the shoulder, with 4 I'll tell what it is, friend C- , I be. ieve that I shall be driven nolens vouns, to Sign your inctrgerj arici an.1 , an t.1 nu so V 4 Why, there a our pretty cousin Kate has laid a tariff amounting to entire prohi bition upon her sweet lipsjand insists upon keeping it up till I become tee total.' 4 Well then, suppose you go with me pay the du ties and strike for future reformation T' Our friend enrolled himself a Washing- vr . toman, went straight down to cousin tvaie a and sealed the pledge with a kiss." A glass of water well paid for. The water of the Neva, at St. Peters- burg, is, in the opinion of the Russians, the clearest and the best water that can any where be obtained, ror six months in the year this highly-prized water is concealed by a thick covering or ice and snow ; dui when, towards the beginning of -April, the atmosphere has acquired sufficient warmth to loosen the wintry fullers of the stream, the inhabitants look forward with eager ex- pectation to the moment when their beloved Neva will burst her bonds and move again rro and'ThajcsficaTTyTlwee tenanted banks. As soon as the icy mass has got into motion, tho glad tidings an nounced to the expectant capital by the ar tillery of the citadel, a fortress of considers able strength, situated immediately opposite to the Emperor's palace. The very mo ment, be it day or night, that an open in- terval occurs between the floating masses of ice, the governor of the citadel crosses n a boat to tho kmperor s palace,, and presents his Majesty with a crystal goblet full of Neva water, as the first offering of iaJurJlingpnnp.nO l.mttfTnf rir Emperor drinks off to the health and pros neritvof his beloved capital. It was cus toronry, till within the" last few years,, for the Emperor to fill the smpty goblet witn gold and return it to the governor; but it was noticed that tho goDiet grew larger ana largerevery year, so that the task of empty. ing lielass-becarne-yeafly-inore difficult ol accompiisnment, wnne, on me uiuur . - ,. , .

Make them consider ev- ery vice as shameful and unmanly. Fire them with ambition to be useful. Make them disdain to be destitute of any useful or ornamental knowledge, It has Veen estimated that an English penny placed out at compound interest, at the rate of 5 per cent, at the birth of Christ, would . in 1786, have' produced a sura equivalent to about one hun dred and ten millions of our earth ia solid gold.

Tbe Quaker having pass, ed through France had beerr shocked at the manner in which Sunday was descent ted in thatcountry. He, therefore, took tne opportunitywjiich the interview present, ed of mentioning tfie subject to his Holiness, and of suggesting to him the propriety of hia interference to cause Sunday to be kept holy and free from secular enjoyment. i no ni; nssurea tne uuuKer iat no was ignorant of the open violation of the Sab bath in France, and was extremely anxious that it should, as it ought to be, kept holy. Tho time was, when the person occunvins cnairoi or. retcr, could directly Interfere in the alair of foreign states, and when emperors, kings, and princes, attended Id the behest or the Vatican. But the times had changed. He could not now exercise any temporal authority beyond the limits of the 1'upal btntcs. All that he could do, to repress vice and crime in foreign States, was by addressing letters of advice and re monstrance to the heads of the church in communion with tho holy Catholic church in those Stutcs. He had remonut rated with those in France, on the open violation of the Sabbath In that kingdom, and should not omit-any opportunity of. expressing his strong disapprobation of anti-Christian prac tices which there prevailed. The Quaker, gratified by tho sentiments which he had given the successor of St. Peter an oppor- tunny of expressing, thereupon took bis eave of his Holiness.

A couple of Irishmen passing a woods with a gun, saw a squirrel in the top of a very high, tree.

Tbe Thief wbo detected himself. 44 Be sure your sins will find you out," is a maxim true as lacts can make it. We give a rcmarkablo instance of it which Cnwiowwrn mniciincqpq. " Somewhere in Maine, the precise where, abouts we may not tell, lives a merchant whose .stqre is situated near a. wharf on the banks of a river, h happened some years since, th&t he had a large stock of pork ready barrelled in his cellair. Going into his cellar, o.ne morning,-he discovered the door leading to the wharf to be open, and the key to be in tho lock.U Suspucting something wrong, he examined the articles in the cellar, and found that one barrel of pork was missing. Not knowing upon whom to fix the charge, he concluded to say nothing about it, but to wait the developement of time. Several months passed, and he gninod no clue to the thief; when one morning, a man who lived a few miles down the river, came into the store. The-merchant remarked some considerable uneasiness of manner in him, but knowing him to be a man of pro perty and reputed morality, ho thought it could be occasioned by nothing but . some petty trouble that afflicted him. The man lingered round lorseverai nours as if he wanted something; and, at length, when there were no persons left but the merchant and himself, he said, 44 Mr. did you ever find out who stole that barrel of pork, you lost a few months since?" a 44 Yes, sir; you did," was the prompt re ply of the merchant-. . . . . w -w t .a. m "Me sir !

Confounded, the thief mado no rcply.-r- The merchant stepped up to his desk, drew out an old account of somo fifty dollurs, and adding to it" the pricevof the pork, he told him to pay that bill or he would ex nose him. . The hill "was paid, and the guilty man went home full of shame and chagrin. We close as we organ, Dy saying tehe-Teadefj-aa-thoTics'rhTOratW 44 be sure your sinswill find you out." S. S. Messenger. A b teat natural curiosity is to be seen at Tu8cumbia, Alabama. A spring hero bpijs up out of the earth, which lorms a stream much larger than the Pennsylvania creeks, and large enough to entitle it, in those re gions to the name or a river, i ne town oi Tuscumbia , is about two miles back of Ten. nessee river, and the current trom tne snrlmr flows about two miles and a hair, nnrl then minfr es witn tne niue waiers oi . 9 . . .i i. . e the Tennestee. It is a curiosity, because nt ha mormons size! as there is not in all theljnited States beside, a spring that sends forlh such a volume ol water, i ne nssure in the rock through which the water flows, is tremendous, and the depth of the stream at the fountain, is at least eight feet. All the water used by the Tuscumbisns (2000 people) is furnished by mis spring. Tbe most valuable part of every man's educa tion is that which he receive from himself, espe cially when the active energy of bis character make' ample amends for tha want of a more finished course of study. ' meanness and Generosity. A Roman army besieged the city of ureece. All the children were under the superintendence of the school master, who daily led them out of the walls of the city, One day he led them to the Roman camp, and delivered them up to the Oeneral, say. ing, 44 With the children 1 deliver up the city; tor their parents and -Inenda cannot survive the loss." The Roman General replied, 44 Base traitor and wretch, I despise your mean act. I will not take the city by base means." He then bound his hands behind him, and put scourges intohe hands of the children, and directed them to beat him baclc to the city. lathe mean time their parents and friends were frantic with grief at their loss; but at length they be held them returningdriving their traitor be fore them." Joy and adimrtlon filled their hearts, and they exclaimed Our enemies are kinder than our friends;" wfrwill.no longer contend against such kind enemies; and immediately delivered up the kejs of the city to the Roman General who return ed them, saying that he wished not to take advantage of an enemy, and marched away bis army. It is of the greatest importance that we should resist the temptation, frequently so ong- of annexing a familiar, facetious, I or irreverent idea, of a scriptural usage, a scriptural expression, a scripture text, or scripture name. Nor should we hold our. selves guiltless, though we have been mis led by mere negligence or want ot reflec tion, lvvery person of good taste will avoid reading a travestie of a beautiful poem, be cause the recollection of the degraded like ness will always obtrude itself upon our memories, when we wish to drive pleasure from the contemplation of the elegance of the original, But how much more urgent is the duty by which we are bound to keep the pages of the Bible clear of any impres. sion tending to diminish the blessing to ha bitual respect and reverence towards' our Maker's law. Fraud and Peculation. A few months ago, a Mr. lieorge ttooerts, puuiisner oi 3 44 Boston Notion," announced, with a flourish of trumpets, that he. would issue a splendid -4 Quadruple Notion," containing over two hundred engravings and several i. t i; . novels, ana tooit in suuscripuons Becoming ly twenty-six, we understand, were sent from this place.- He now declines the pub. lication, giving as a reason, that 44 Mr. Merrick, a Senator in Congress from Ulno, introuucea a diii to tax pnpers larger than a specified sizn additional postage. In the first place,' there -is no Senator from Ohio by that name, nor did the bill becomo a law. The tale is an ill-devised "excuse to cover a palpable fraud. But Mr. Roberts says .he will send Bulwer's 44 Night and Morning" to those interested a work which may be had in any i Bookstore. Even in this he has tailed, having sent only about half the copies due this Post Office. "Mr. Roberts is in advance of his age in the science of speculating, by obtaining thousands of do!. lars, under false pretences, and then throw. ing off his hands an unsaleable article We are not interested in this, one way or tho other, but only stato the facts that the public may be advised against another mposture.

Desiring, for our part, that the question as to the next Presidency should not be agitated so early as now, nor even lor a year yet to come, circumstances have thwarted our .wishes, and forced the question upon tho public at- tendon.

It will be seen, from this statement, that tho Whigs have so far lost but one Senator whote term expires in 1843, (viz : Graham of N.
