gratulations were over, he inquired the

NORTH CAROLINA ABROAD. I
Miss Sedgewick, the authoress of the
Liuwoods" and several other popular
works, has the following notice of a par
ty of North Carolinians whom she met at
Saratogo Springs, last summer. It is ex
tracted from an article in the Democratic
Review, entitled Leisure hours at Sara
toga.'? and the incidents are not fictitious,
but real:
' The next morning enriched us with
a large party from North Carolina. For
tunate is the state that can send forth such
ci'.izens to represent it. Intelligent and
kind hearted, simple and direct in their
manners, with what evident self-respect
reting on the immovable foundation of
intrinsic repectabiliiy, and the modesty
and deference that spring from faith in
the worth of others a faith which is the
well-spring of life to humanity. There
was a young person of this party who
Was the centre of general interest. She
was not beautiful, but she had a power to
rivet and charm the eye beyond a regular
nnd reigning beauty. There was a languor
in her movements, and an abstractness in
her expression, as if for her the soul of life
was gone, cir as if (for she was suffering
from ill health) she were listening to the
strain, come away!" But when a voice
the laved struck upon her ear, or a word

j .f Singular Law Suit.k proseco
tion h-r twindltpg has been intuu.ed in
avannan, Ueo. against a young mnn
named Jesse L Burkley, oniler the fol
lowing singular circumstances. ' In 1825
the accused left his native village on a
tour lo the west, and after an absrnre of
some considerable time, reports of his
death reached his relatives from New Or
leanshis property was accordingly made
over by Lis guardian tw his next of k:n,
under the firm belief that he was dead.
Three years passed away without any
doubt as regards his decease; but nt last
letters were received from New Orleans,
purporting to come from the said Jesse
L. Htirkley, then in prison, and clai ntng
his property. These letters were thought
lo be a forgery, and were not angered.
A few months more elapsed, and i'- de
fendant in the prosecution apprsf J in
propria prrtona, and demanded hi- pn
perty. His relatives denied that h was
the genuine Jesse, and accordingly had!
him arrested as a swindler.
Individual Influence.' . No stttion,
however private, can he uninfluc-nial.
Our words and our examples ate often
pr idtim ve nf most permanent effect when
we e-.i ore conscious of it. We seal
oiiisilvis at our fire side and converse
w ith tli.se who ate dearest to uc.'and to
wtvm we ore most dear, and our opini
ons are often adopted without examina
tion. We talk to a friend, we transact
business with an acquaintance, and all is
forgotten, but we may have made im
pressions never to be erased. We may
have given an impulse to a long scries of
eauses and effects whose result maybe
important in time and eternity." .

The fashion of wearing the hair long
over the ears and eyes, was first brought
about by a cropped convict who wished
to hide the loss of the ears.
' Hope is the last" thing that dielh in
man; and though it be exceedingly de
ecitful, yet it is of this good use for us,
that while we are travelling through life,
it conducts us an easier and more plea
sant way to our journey's end.
To insinuate a thin; prejudical to an
other, which we are not willing openly
to avow, is a kind of mental assassina
tion. Opinions connected with our hopes of
happiness, cannot be too strictly examin
ed. Permanent rest is not expected on the
road; but at the end of the journey. ,
A couple of loafers in New York wa
gered their hats upon their comparative
capabilities tn the way of rum-drinking.
One of them drank a pint. . He won a
hat, but lost his life. As the hat was
wonh more than the life, he was of course
a gainer and so was the public.
