alier the suspension of the I empefance Union,
No labored essay is required to show the im-
riortance of publication of this character. Pub
ic opinion Is settling down on the sWe of the
great moral reformation now in successful pro
gress, and every exertion should he made by Ihe
mends ol the cause to promulgate its puts and
sacreVl principles.
Though this paper comes forth lo the world aa

the mailer will not be exclusively of that cast.
Moral Tales and Kssnys, Miscellaneous mailer
of eeneral intereat, Foreign and Domealic In
telMgeSce, and the record of events of in por

tion of- its pages, with poetry and other litera

but a Family Newspaper, calculated to enlishi

Though this paper is published at the

DEATH OF WASHINGTON.
The following vivid and touching sketch
of lha last moments nf the Father of his Coun

pictures i f English hunting scenes, we as

Nothing in the rframanfhis existence surpass

which he had taken from exposure in over
seeing some part of his grounds, and which
resisted the earliest .domestic remedies that
were applied, advanced,' in the course of two
short days, into that fi ightful form of the die
case of the ihroHllaryngitii. It became
necessary fr him to take to his bed. His
valued friend. Dr. Clark, was instantly sum
moned, and, assisted by the best medical skill
of the surrounding country, exhausted all the
means of his art but without affording him
relief. lie patiently submitted, though in
great diatress'io the various remedies pro
posed; but it became evideot from the gloom
settling upon the countenances of tho medi
t.d gentlemen that the case was hopeless.
Advancing insidiously, disease had fastened
itself with deadly certainly. looking with
perfect etdmnpss on the sobbing group a
round him, he laid: "Criers not my friends;

. As the night waned, the fatal symptoms
became more imminent. H is breath became
more labored and suffocating, and his voice
soon after failed him. Perceiving his end
approaching, he straightened himself lo full
length; he folded his own hands in the neces
sary attitude upon his check; placing his fin
ger upon the pulse of his left wrist, and thus
calmly prepared"and watching his ownulis
snluijon, he awaited the summons of his Ma

disappeared. Mrs. Washington, stupified
with grief, sat at the fool of the bed, her eyes
fixed steadfastly, upon hun. Dr. Clark, in
deep gloom, stood with his face buried in his

of? It came into his head lo pay .a visit to a

ceived by this worthy relation, at whose
house a numerous party is assembled. He
is invited to dinner, after dinner they pass
into the saloon to take coffee. At this mo

another room; he follows him thither, draws
into a corner this dear nncle. whom he had
already so often wheedled out of money, and
requests the same favot again; but the other
is immoveable, and refuses flatly.
Cardinal Feh, it was very Well known,
was always agreat lover of pictures; now"
the room in which they were, formed the

what he supposed to be a row of matches.
and, one niter another, he scraped them off
without ettect, and as he threw down the

a Novel informer
At a trial before the Correctional Tribu
nal at Montpelicr, on the 23 ultimo, that
proverbinlly stupid animal, a mule, turned
out to be a most sagacious witness. A cart
coming one day into the town, drawn by
this mule, and loaded with charcoal, it was
discovered by the officers of thr? octroi or
town duties, that, in tho centre of each sack
was a small barrel of brandy, intended to
be thus surreptitiously introduced without
payment of duty. Thedriverwasarrested,
but denied all ownership of the cart or
its contents, and pertinaciously refused to
declare to whom they belonged". The offi
cers, having their suspicious, conceived
the idea of verifying them by means of the
mule. ... At nig hi they led the animal lo the
entrance of the village of Lnvergane, a
short distuncc from Monluelier. and there
letting him loose, heat once galloped off
gauy tut iw rencnea ine door ot a Inrricr,
named Pulary, where he stopped a minute,
and then walked quietly round to the stable.
To strengthen this proof the officers forced
the animal from this spot, and he went to a
watering-pluce in a retired spot at some dis
tance, ami having slaked his thirst, return
ed ogain to the stable. This evidence was
so conclusive that Palary was unable to res
ist it, and-at lengthconfessed his delinquen

frauds were so extensive that they brought
down upon them an assessment of fines a

IN DIAN BUFFALO DAN CE.
It is a remarkable fact, that the notion of a
ecncral deluge pievails among almost every
people on the face of the earth. In many
heathen nations, there are not only traditions
of such an event but their sacred writings
contain accounts which agree, in the most
important patticulars, with the history given
by Moses.
The Mandan tribe' nf Indians, inhubitinz
a section of tho Missouri river have a ceremo
ny which may be called the Bnffalo Dance
continuing for four days and nights, and de
signed to commemorate the subsideing of the
flood.
In the centre of their principal village they
have a wooden structure which hey rail
their "Big Canoe," and whicir they lielieve
to be the remains nf the vessel in which their
first ancestors were preserved, when all the
earth was overwhelmed with water. The
feast is held in the spring, when the willJw
tree leaves are out: lor they say that a dove,
with a willow leaf or twie in its mouth, first
gave notice of tho subsiding of the waters.
Instead of an httnble prayer or a song of
praise, commemorative ol their deliverance,
they cover tnemselves with a gr.m mask for
med from the shaggy hide of the buffalo,
and eight nf them by lurnfV dance around thr
piece of wood with loud cries and all kinds
of odd motion, brandishing their bows anJ
spears. .
The dance nnd cries remind us of the con
duct of the priests of Daal; when they called
upon their trod: and the Indians, think that
th Great Spirit is pleased with their folly,
and will sent! them a plenty of buffaloes in
the hunting-season.
How sad it is to think that our fellow-men
who have souls like our own, and who are
as capable as we are of loving and obeying
God, should be so vain in their imagination.
But their foolish hearts are darkened, and
they love darkness rather thun light, because
their deeds are evil. We have had the ili
ble and tne means of grace, and of those to
whom much is given much will be required.
THE THREE APPLES.
A young gentleman once mentioned his
surprise, that the possession of great wealth
should ever be attended with undue solici
tude, and instanced a merchant who although
in the possession or unbounded wealth, was
as busy, and much more anxious, than ihe
most assiduous clerk in the counting-house.
I ho doctor, in reply, took an apple ftotn
a fruit basket, and presented it to a child in
the room, who could scarcely grasp it in his
lianiw He then gave it a second, which fil
led the other hand; and choosing a third, re
mailable foi its size and beauty, presented
that also. The child, after many ineffectual
attempts to hold the three apples, dropped

CARELESS USF OF FIRE-ARMS.
The Philadelphia Ledger says that forty-
seven deaths have been recorded as occur
ring from the careless use of fire-arms, since
thelrf oj October last! This is almost incred
ible, and would be quite so, did we not our
selves sec such continual acts of imprudence
in the use of guns and pistols. But what

their reneral use bylaw! This is .serious
ly proposed, though it strikes us as prepos

THE LAST TRICK. .
A few nights ago, at Philadelphia, a wit
ty rascal resorted to the following cool ex

A tailor sent home a coat to a customer by

steps a person who appeared to be in the
act of pulling the bell, and who, on the
boy's approach, said to him, "Ah; that coat
is for me," at the same time taking it and
placing it across his own arm. Toe boy,
supposing it to be true, returned home; and
the first news the maker received of the loss
was the complaint of the disappointed cus
