One ennsequenee ofj the transgression of our 1
Vrst Dareuts, which produces a great portion
Hour misery, and can never be sufficiently;
ieplored, is, an undue attachment to the oh-
ects of sense, and a deep rooted aversion to
he contemplation of i spiritual things. TJiis
f itself, ought to .convince the,most deter
ined sceptic, that, "the gold is become dim
nd the most fine gold changed.' Destined
or immortality, we tontine our attention to
he passing follies of an hour; bound by the
yranny of despotic passions, we make no ef-
ort to regain our -liberty; and like our
lvrelched progenitor,' having contemned the
uihonty, we tremble at the v6ice, and shrink
rom the presence pf God.

duties of devotion are neither irksome nor

my opinion, 'possessing tnQmin.on merit.
abounding with just and . noble sentiments,
and clotbingthe most serious truths in all the
charms of genius and taste.
Devotion, considered simply in itself, is
an intercourse betwixt us and God, betwixt
the supreme, self-existent, inconceivable spi
rit, which formed and preserves the universe
and the particular spirit, with which; for aw
ful reasons, he has animated a portion of mnr
fer upon earth j that we call man. It is a silent

' Though this, devotion, in its first stages,
may be a wearisome or insipid exercise, yet
this arises merely from the depravity of our
nature,, and oonr passions. A little habit
will overcome this reluctance. When you

A (CARD. Miss Mklish returns her grateful
' acknowledgements to those, who, with gene
rous confidence, have entrusted their children to her
care. -As' she is a stranger to many in Raleigh, it
baa been suggested to her that she ought to state to
those whomay deem the information important, that
hr edriMtinn has filled her lor the office of a teacher.
I In Europe, she was for some years a pupil of the I
celebrated Mr. Banks, Professor of Rhetoric and Elo- I
eution, and she completed her studies under the best
mastwajn Philadelphia. In New-York, she was en-
were FxaxiMoax Cooer.a, Esq., author cf I he Spy,
Pioneer, &c. Geobge GniFnn,Eq. Col. TnoRx.now
in Europe. She is prepared to teach the plain and
higher branches of a thorough English Education, to
gether with French and Spanish and Italian Langua
ges; also Music, -
Miss Mclih recommends to her pupils to aiudy;
French upon the Oral system, introduced by Messrs.
Maseaca and Valck, but-she will teach either upon
the old principle, or the new, as she has studied both.
As to her mode of instruction, she would leg leave
to state that her object is not to cram her pupils with
masses of undigested matter, because she is fully
aware that the memory can be cultivated at the ex-
pence of the higher faculties of the mind. For in
stance, a child might commit the con'ents of a geog
raphy or Grammar, and recite it perfectly, and yet be
very ignorant on the score of both studies, and soon
with every thing else. Miss Mklish cannot consci
entioosly teach upon that" plo.. She ft ill endeavor,
therefore, to proceed cautiously, grounding her pupils
tlibibughly, step by step. Tbis may be slower work,
but ton? experience has convinced her of its superior
efficacy.
If sbe succeeds, she will have her School room fit
ted up wittvthe best Maps and Globes ; in shoi t. with
every thing that will he necessary to facilitate ber
Pupils' improvement.
As she has limited herself to a very small number,
le teg3 those who may wish to avail themselves of
her services, to apply early in the cession. Her sec
ond Session will commence on Monday, the fifteenth
of June. .
For Terms, &c. apply to Miss Mbmsiz, at Mr. W ti
ll AX Tcckkr's. HilTsboro' Street, Raleigh.
P. S. Miss Mklish begs leave to mention that she
has not discovered any royal road to science; there
must be. regular attendance and faithful application,
or she cannot insure her Pupils' success.

Seven hundred and twenty acres, Ta trail county
on the Ahamahaw River, adjoining landapf Ambre
(jordon and others.
These lands are offered to be sold at private sale.
but if not disposed of in this manner to our satisfac
tion, they will be sold to the highest bidder, on tbe
first Tuesday Jn December next, at ibe Court house
door in the city of ;.Milledceyilkv one-third cash, the
balance la two equal annual payments, with interest,
and undoubted personal security.
We offer for sale also two splendid settlements of
land, in Baker county, one containg 1250 acres, the
ther 250. acres, i He first settlement embraces the
following lots: Noa. 26 and 3, 8th district Baker;
No. 19, 20, and 22, Vth district Baker-1250 acres.
The other settlement contains Ihe'following Lots
of Laml, to wit i Nos 225, 256, 265, 295, 294, 266,
2g7, 229, 2522250 acres, and all in the 2d district
Baker county.
In regard to the character of these two last named
settlements of land or plantations, it is sufficient to
say, they have been pronounced by competent jodges
to be inferior to no body of land north of the Sabine
River. Their Tocation, fertility, and production, for
corn and cotton, cannot be surpassed ; they lie be
tween the Chattahoochee and Flint River; a section
of our State that is rapidly attracting public notice,
and in a very few years will stand unrivalled as a cot
ton growing section of the Southern States. These
were selected, with great care and expense, by one of
the best judges of such property in his life time, for
bis special use and accommodation.
The undersigned are very desirous to dispose of
these two bodies of land, in two separate plantations.
and Will do so at private sale, to a fair purchaser, and
on good time. But if not so arranged, they will be
ottered at the same time and place, and on the same
terms, as the first mentioned scattering lands, lot by
lot, and they are offered to the public at this .early no
tice, in the hope of their receiving the strictest person
al examination.
