.OCT To those indebted.
We of all things dislike most to ba dunocJ,
and we dislike almost a much to dunbut
of the two we had rather dun than be durK
npd. We owe money', and must pa it,
atitl toilt pay it, if it takes every thing we
,'Kavo in the world, even to tlie old three,
parfa-worn coat on our backs. ' We have
hundreds and thousands of dollars owing to
-Os a part, or all of which,,' we need, and
some of it we must havo ,and will have, if
it is to be had. Our friends who have ac.
commodated us r.'?ih credit and indulgence,
" want their money, and it Is !?cedless Jo say
how mortifying it is to our feelings to be
unable to pay them when they heed it. If
we can get out of debt, we shall ask no
more we shall then be content. - We had
rather wear linsey-woolsey and live on corn
pone and sassafras tea, and be free from
debt than to wallow in lusury and roll in
plendor, white debts which we cunnot
.meet are hanging over as. Arid now, we
have a proposition to make it n this : If
those who owe us for subscription, adver
Vising or job-work, will between this and
the first of May next, pay us justone-third
o.f the amount due, we will agree not to dun
them agnio for the next six or twelve mouths.
Let each one consider this as a proposition
jrnado directly to him; and do now do,
gecd us the money. Any postmaster will
remit il under frank ; and the certificate of
A postmaster that the money was mailed,
will be- to you as a receipt. We earnestly
hope that this call will not be unheeded.
Wo dislike very much to mukc it in thi
publjo munne but necessity compels us.
The times are hard, we know but think
you not that we (pet that as well as others ?
It is in view of the great scarcity of money
that we make the proposition we do; und
anyone may-, wethink, raise one-third of
the amount due us. Finally, we say, once
for all and speak in sincerity and truth
when weaay that we must rave mosey.
' , "Bare n from our friends J" From the
postmasters at the several places we have
received Information that the followinffen-
tlemcn (7) refuse to take out paper from ihe
post ofheo. We give tho name of each, with
the amount of their indebtedness : '
IVm. Sitton, Sr.,- Scott's creek, Haywood
' county, N.C. - $6 90
Wm. Sitton, Jr. 7 20
J. L. Conner, Rocky Springs, Ton. 7 62
.' J ' 821 72 '
Of the Sittons the postmaster informs us
that the elder one has taken the bent-fit of
the bankrupt law, and the younger tne is
perfectly insolvent.
' If gentlemen do not like to gain such no
toriety as this, all they huvo to do is to pay
for, their papers, and then order them to be
discontinued. We are not done with the
subject, but havo a considerable list of such
friends, to whom we shall p.-iy our respects
fvcry - hencewhiley-atxHf our attentions
should be troublesome to them, they can at
any time get rid of us by paying the amount
of our account.
.toVVe publish this week au article
whieb hHs been called poetry, jtfst to show
how silly some people are. It i quite com
mon for men and women both to think them
selves competent to writo poetry, simply
because they happen occasionally to make
lines jinglo, than which nothing is more
ridiculous. The world produces a thousand
writers of verses where it produces one
poet. The article referred to is a perfect
curiosity. Like the production of .another
which we could name, it is neither prose
nor poetry J)Ut something between the two."
But, pen ahoy! we must not touch that
matter,- else we shall have a war wilh "co
lors nailed to the mast."

and ' one lmo being made to match tollicr,'
and general stagnation of the pure diction,
elegant composition, finished- sentences,
round numbers, ' flowing verse, measured
feet, and dignified expression, it is truly re
freshing to a man of taste and refinement to
meet with a fragment of that heaven-inspiring,
soul-cheering, hcart-mclting harmony
that always accompanies tho recital of true
poetry." It affords mC'great pleasure to be
able to present you with an original manu
script, which I have held back for some
Vara occasion for four or five years. It will
be but justice to say that it was once offered
to a very respectable journal at the North,
but on account of the blind imbecility of the
editors, it was refused. By rare, chance I
obtained it, and gladly present it to you for

I will merely remark that the style is of the
ancient Tom Thumb, Lilliputian ardor,
with a small touch of loqg und short metre.

I come my first visit to the little mound, ''
Where a few mouths ago, ray child was laid In

Deep beneath its ailenttop and sloping side, ""
Lowly and quietly, our little on alueplh, hides
An inmate of yon. peaceful tomb alone.
To pain and bustle lust, to worldly love unknown
The busy bum of men quieted eternally liusb'd
From the world, monotonous dim, forever push'd
The fall of the elod. the deep hollow sound,
The bind, a hoe, tbe spade pass'd round ,.,
A load of earth, monumental pilo,
Tho sad memento, of thy lormer em lo,
Tbe bright blue eye, a lisping tongue, endearing
prattle. .
Oh ! would I've loett for an thousand bills cattle,
But thy little spirit (how twcot) U flown,
In full fruition lives, its higher parent own. .
Thou bait done with things nf timo and eonse,
Engaged in holy anthems, eall us bunco, . , .
Thy little structure, of animated clay,
flow lo3t ! in dust and ealte, tbe body lay,
Doomed a lifeless little one, till God's trump
Shall burst thy prison, then (myitis union) jump
Forth In beauteous array, holy and untold, .

Tbe heavy boding of my pcrturbod heart,. ,
Speak out blighted hopes, doomed here to port.
I come now, my last sad tribute here to par
Thy dear relies, buried beneath this press of clay,
A polished marble, to emulate the head.
Another polish'd too (at foot) palate out length

Whose insoript tell put the tender yarm of ema

From thy earthly parents, how far remov'd.

The True Gentleman Whoevor is ho-
nost, generous, courteous, honorable, and
candid, is a true gentleman, whether learn
ed or unlearned, rich or poor.
Most arts require long study and oppli-
cation; but the most useful of nil that of
pleasing requires only tho deaiio..
Without frugality none can bo rich ; and
with it few would bo poor.
Men who waut principle, live knaves and
die beggars. ,
Beauty is worse than wine it intoxicates
holder and beholder.
We increase our wealth not so much by
increasing our money as by lessening our
desires.
"" Wrongs may be trials to tho good man,
but cannot imprint on him a false stamp.
The mail travels in idd ways enough,
now and then, through thcClioctow nation.
A Dutchman, who happened to bo jogging
alopg with a Kentuckian, not long since,
in that region, asked, " Wasn't dut do mail
stage we met dis monin', mit a poy carry-
in' to mail pags on his pack ?
Many mistake their wishes forihcir wants.
He that shows his passion, tells his cmemy
where to hit him.
' The credit that is got by a lie only lasts
till the truth comes out.
A living faith is said to be the best divin
ity ; a holy lifo tho best philosophy; a ten.
dcr conscience the best law ; honesty the
best policy ; and temperance the best phy.
sic.
A man scnlenced to be hung, prayed for
a reprieve, on the-cround that he had a very
sore throat, whica rendered him unfit for
tho operation of hanging; he feared, he
said, that the most alarming consequences
might ensue, if he was hangod in his present
condition.
" Those notes enliven me," as the print

-- Catharine Pickle, of Clinton county. Fa.,'
got into a picklo by marrying one Joseph
Pickle ; she wishes to get out of the pickle
and to avoid all future pickles, by procuring
a divorce from Pickle, and thus become

Jesse Iloyt, late of the New York Cus

A man is nobody in old Kentuck, if he
hasn't a handsome sister. A real pretty
one is a fortune.
Almost every amiable woman is pretty.
If a wife will always look amiable, she will
look pretty lo her husband.
There is a man in Woonsocket, who feels
so big that he takes off his hat when the
clouds are sailing through the heavens, lest
they should knock it off. t '
