It is not many months since, that 1 had been travelling day and night'aver; roads of iron, for nearly a week, until my sense of hearing was al most destroyed by the continued fiz fiz, fiz fiz, ,tiz fiz 'of a steam engine, thle " inces sant cling ding, ding ding, of the alarm bell, and the prolonged iumble, romble rumble, of thbrailar, wheels; My eyes, tbo, were well nigh destroyed by sparks of fire, and flying ashes : but above all, from the want of rest and sleep. ". It will be readily imagined, therefore, that i was twith no ordinary degree of pleasure," that I exchan ged a seat with an upright wooden back, in a rail road car, for the almost by-gone luxury of a couch like seat in an old fash ioned stage coach, which, was to take me to my place of destination. - A blessing rest upon those old time conveyances, the bare mention of which calls up a thousand recol lections of social pleasures, that come thronging and fluttering about the nib of my pen, like moths around a bright light on a summer evening. But beautiful creatures! I can only apostrophise you know. Some other time, I will impale you upon , the end of my quill, and preserve your slight forms in ink. The day was remarkably fine ; our road lay through the pie asan test parts of pleasant Connecticut, near the picturesque valley of the Housatonic; our cattle were sleek and fine looking; the driver was civil and well dressed ; and the coach itself was a miracle. There was not a rent in the cur tain ; nor a spring out of order. There were but two passengeis, besides myself, one of whom was one of those good natur ed humorists, who I believe live all their lives in stage coaches, for I never met' with one any where else j and 'the other was an invalid, with his face tied up so thatf he coufd not speak. T Never had aweary traveller sweeter prospect of enjoying a refreshing nap. We , had travelled about a mile, and "the easy 'motion of the coach had just began to put me and my fellow travellers into a pleasant sleep, when a shrill voice, exclaim ing,- "Stop! stop!" caused the driver to rein ' up, which roused me from . the delightful state of incipient somnolency into,' which I was sinking. - It was an elderly lady, with a monstrous band-box, a paper covered trunk, and a little girl. We wei e'of course debarred the satisfaction of saying a single ill-natured word. The driver dismounted from his box, and having stowed away the ladys baggage, proceeded to assist her to stow herself awaV in the coach. jSSk . Driver,' said the lady?"flo you know Deacon Hitchcock!" No ma'am ' replied the driver, Ihave only drove this road about a fortnight. JLwonder if either of those gentlemen knowhim ?" she said, putting her head into the coach. I don't" said the humorist; "but I know Deacon Hotchkiss, if that will an swer your purpose." 4 Don't neither of them other gentlemen know him?" she enquired. t shook my head negatively for I was afraid to speak, lest 1 should dispel the charm that sleep had begun to shed over uai- buuv. iw a3 he was unable to speak. . Well, then, I don't know whether to get in or not, said the lady y lor i must see Deacon Hitchcock, .before I go home, 1 am a lone widow lady all theway from the State .of New Hampshire, and the Dea con was a very particular friend of ray hus band's, this little, girrs father, who has been dead two long, years ; and I should like to see him 'mazin'ly." 1 Does , he live about herej" asked thje driver.' ' -'"-"'" " Well, don't know fdr certain," said the lady, : butr he hves some where an ConnecticutTins is the first , time I . was iever so Tar from home.- I live in the State of New Hampshire and it i dreadful un pleasant ; Ifeel a: little dubious, about rid- tng au atone in a siage wiiu peuucwcu mat I never see before in my life." ; ; There s no danger-ma am," said the driver, " the gentlemen won't hurt yon. , Well, perhaps they won't J butMt is very unpleasant for a lady to be so fartrom hornet I live in the State of New Hamp? shire:, and this little girl" You had better gel in maam,v? aaid the tlriver with praiseworthy moderation." . ' ". v t$: " Well, I don't know but I may as well" she renliedand alter infonnioff the driver once more that she t was from the town- of , R6ckinghartt County, Ne wH amp-. shire'i'andihat hei' hnshaMrRobie had been dead iwo years - she got in and . took her seat. ' . a w ' - " I will take vonr fare ma'am said the - " Ho w much is it, sir,'? asked the lady. 'Four-and-sixDence," said the driver, Jfor yourself and the little girl." ' r money for a little girl's passage like that, her father, 1 my - husband, ;ha been dead these two Ions yearsl and I never was so far from home before in all my lifeI live in the state of New Hampshire. It is very unpleasant for a lady; bull dare say: neither of them gentlemen would see me imposed upon,"' "; " " will take your fare, if Vdu please, uia am, again said the driver, . in a tone bordering somewhat on impatience. How much did you say it was? three and sixpence !" asked the lady. M Oi four and-Yix-oence i" And after a good deal of fumbling and shaking of Iter pockets, she at last produced a half dollar, and a York shillinsr. and nut them in the driver's hand. That is not enough ma'am," said the driver f I want nine-pence more." What ! aint we in York State ?" she asked eagerly. ... j No ma'm,? replied the driver, 44 it is six -shillings York money." ; W1I KA l.l "I used to be quite sood or to f i n 1 1 1 rr arVi an 1 was at home it) the town of E : I've reckoned many a fish v'yage ; but since I have got so far from home, I b'lieve I am beginning to lose my mental faculties." "I'll take the other nine-pence, if you please, ma'am:" said the driver, in a voice approaching a little nearer to impatience. A.I.J. Mm . ' At last alter making allusions two or three tinrfes more to her native State, and her deceased husband (happy man!) she hand ed ihe driver his nine-pence, and we were once more in motion. Aithouirh mv fellow- travellers remained silent all the time she was disputing with the driver, yet they looked as though, they were wishing the New -Hampshire lad v some of the worst wishes that could be imagined. 44 Do you think it dan-gerous on this road !" began the lady, as soon as the door was closed. 44 1 am a very lengthy way from home, in the State' of New Hampshire; and if any thing should hap pen, I don't know what 1 should do. I am quite unfamiliar with travelling ; and I hope you won't think - me obtrusive ; I am a widow lady, my husband, this little girl's father, has been dead these two years coming this spring; and I am going with her to the Springs : she has got a dreadful bad complaint in her stomach. Are you going to the Springs, sir" she said, ad dressing herself to the invalid, who shook his head in reply. 44 Are you?" she asked, turning to me. "No," --.,.,A ... "Ah, I am very sorry; I should like to put myself under the care of some clever gentleman: it is so awful for a lady to be so far from home, without a protector. 1 am far from the folate of New Hampshire, and this is the first time I ever went a trav elling in my life. Do you know any body in New Hampshire?" "No, madam, I do not," said the humor ist. 44 and I hope you will excuse me for saying that I never wish to." 44 Well, now this is very strange, con tinued the gossip."' 4 1 hav'nt met a single soul that I know, since I left home; and 1 nw a a a am in a public way, too: 1 toilow scnooi keepirif," mostly for a occupation; and I am acquainted with all the first people in the State. Y have been a school-teacher ever since my poor husband Mr. Robie died, this poor little girl's father, two years ago; and I am very well known in Rocky bottom, Rockingham County, in the state of New-Hampshire; I know all the first gen tlemen in the place. There's Squire Tash, Sqoire Parks, Mr.'Benj. Jake, Mr. Zac cheus York, Deacon Harris, Doctor David " Heavens and earth I" exclaimed the humorist, "I can t stand this I Driver : stop, and let me get out !" 44 Ah ; are you going; sirr she asked, addressing the humorist. . 44 No, I am not," hejephed: 44 and if I were But the contingency was inward- y prononnced. v The driver reined up, and the humoristi took his valise in. his hand, and jumped out followed by the invalid, who set out to walk back to the tavern we had left be hind its. I thought the New-Hampshire lady would probably -understand the cause of our fellow-travellers' sudden departure, and leave me to the quiet enj oy mnt of myt nap. I never was more mistaken. No sooner was the coach m motion again, than she began to pouroat such a running stream of, surmises and questions about "thern gen tlemen that left us,' mingled with reminis cences of New Hampshire; and her deceas ed husband,, that I began to wish myself back again on arail-road car.' At length, driven trS desneration. 1 was comnelled to call out' to the-driver to stop, and let me get out." The lady was very earnest in her ende'avbrs t5 persuade me to remain, but I was reganlless of her entreaties, although not 'exactly deaf to them.' I took ray wallet, determined tb.wait till th6 next coach came alon?. I "was some distance from a tavern, but there was a qniet 'Hooking ! burying erounch iust at the" foot of the hill, .which to my wearied' eyes.held out a4 promise of rest, and as the suW was low I j determined to leap 'over the" picket fencs? and with my waiiet lora piuow, iaa.e a uap ua uie ury, Whenever Vonare misled by a Whig pa- per. read a Democratic paper arid it will set yon ngni again. jmjm i Upon the same principle -that a man who is choked by a potatoe may get instant relief by swallowing a pumpkin.'!. , J, , Prentice.

The following will be read with deep in terest, when it is considered that it came from the pen of the lamented Charles Lamb: 44 Could the youth to whom the flavor of nis nrst wine is delicious as the opening scenes of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise, look into my desolation, and be made to understand what a dreary thing h is, wlien a man feels him - self going dowifa precipice with open eyes und a passive will to see his destruction. and have no power to stop it, and yettohfeel t all the way emanating from himself; to perceive all goodness emptied out of him. and yet not be able to forget a time when it was otherwise; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own self ruin; could he see my fevered eye feverish with last night's lining,. arm levensmy looking lor mis night's repetition of lolly: could he feel the body of death out of which-1 cry hourlv with feebler and feebler outcry to be deliv ered it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earthin all the pride of its mantling temptation. :' 44 OI if a wish could transport me back to those days of youth when a draught from the next clear spring could slake any heats winch summer suns and youthlul exercise had power to stir up in the blood, how glad ly would 1 return to thee,, pure element, the drink of children, and of child like her mits. In my dreams, I can fancy thy cool refi eshment purling over my burning tongue. But ray waking stomach rejects it. -That which refreshes innocence only makes me sick and faint. 44 But is there no middle way betwixt to tal abstinence and the excess which kills you? For your sake, reader", and that you may never attain to experience, with pain 1 must utter the dreadful truth, that there is none; none that I can find. In my stage of habit, (I speak not of habits less confirm ed for some of them I believe to be pru dential) in the stage to which I have reach ed, to stop short of that measure which is sufficient to draw on torpor and sleep the benumbing apoplectic sleep of the drunk ardis to have taken none at all The pain of self-denial is all one. And what that is I had rather the reader should believe on ray credit than know on his own trial. He will come to know it whenever he shall ar rive at the state in which, paradoxical as it may appear, reason shall only visit liim through intoxication; for it is a fearful truth, that the intellectual faculties, by repeated acts of intemperance, may be driven from their orderly sphere of action, their clear daylight ministries, until , they shall be brought at last to depend for the faint mani festation of their departing energies upon the returning periods of the fatal madness to which ther owe their devastation. The drinking man is never less himself than dur ing his sober intervals. Evil is so far good. "Behold me, then, in the robust period of Ijfe,' reduced to imbecility and decay. Hear me count my gain, and the profits which I have derived from the midnight cup. "Twelve years ago I was possessed of a healthy frame of mind, and body,' I was never strong, but I think my constitution, for a weak one, was as happily exempt from a tendency to any malady as it was possi ble to be. I scarcely knew what it was to ail anything. ' Now, except when I am losing myself in a sea of drink, I am never free from those uneasy sensations, in head and stomach, which are much worse to bear than any definite pains and aches. "At that time 1 was seldom in bed after six in the morning, summer and winter. I; awoke refreshed, and seldom without some piece of song to welcome the new borii day. ! Now, the first feeling which besets me, af ter stretching out the hours of recumbence to their last possible extent, is a forecast of the wearisome day that lies before me, with' a secret wish that I could have lain on still or never awaked. . ' Life itself, my. wakingJife.Hhas much of the confusion, the trouble and obscure perplexity of an ill dream. -In the day time I stumble upon dark mountains.

" Rait. Visiter. Major" TVoah at the Court of Tunis. -The Editor of the New York Star, dis coursing on the presentation of Americans, at the British Court, i3 led by his subject to give the following account of his 'own presentation to the Bey of Tunis, some years ago, when he represented this coun try at the Court of his 4 ferocious high ness. Early impressions we admit are very enduring, either in flvor or against any pe culiar custom. Our prejudices against courts arose many years ago, from our first presentation at ,the court of his ferocious highness, Mustaplia Mahmoud, Bey of Tu nis, which was conducted with all honor and magnificence. " Representing as we did at theJime, a young, but not very rich nation, and calling to mind that to be poor and seem poor is at best but poor policy, we put on a coat covered from collar to skirts with gold, we were a walking monu meht of the hard money currency, and the little ragged Turkish boys ran away from before us in affright,' while our Mameluke guards rattaned the crowd who surrounded us, in amazement at the surprising wealth of the country nf which we were the 4 proud representative. There had been a revolu tion in Tunis the night previous. The reigning Bey coolly shot his brother with a blunderbuss, cut oS the heads of his two sons slaughtered his whole cabinet seat ed himself ou the throne, ordered the can non to be fired, and sent word that he was ready to receive us.; The Grandifettoei of the land were all in the hall of audience the foreign consuls and attendants were present at the ceremony of; presenting our credentials, and his' magnificent highness, dressed in his richest costume, reposed on an ottoman of velvet cushions, with guns," pistols, attaghans fans and snuff boxes, of the most costly variety and-workmanship, lying at his side for immediateservice, if required. 'Kiss his hand,' said our prede cessor. We looked at him furiously. 4 Is. it the custom?' said we, in a tone not -very amiable. The British consul said yes,' the Dutch consul nodded, the French consul took snuff and shrugged his shoulders Vig nificantly ; we stooped, as we ought to have done, in complying with a custom so de grading, though required by , the policy of nations, to kiss a nana yet reemng witn a brother's blood. His thumb and all his fin gers were covered with immensely valua ble brilliants the spoils were his to-day, but some new murder might make them another's in a short time, and through the progress of another revolution. We hasten ed to return home sick f this ceremony inrew on tne harness on our Dack,' ana with comfttrtable night gown and slippers we mused alone on the vanity and folly of such ceremonies" Promotion of education. - " We cheerfully give place to the follow ing call for a National Convention to discuss the subject of Elementary Education. To his Excellency the Governor of Penn sylvania, and the Members of the ieg islature of fhat State: Fellow-Citizens: At the ninth annual meeti ng of the American Lyceum;" held in he city ot New I or k en the 3d, 4th, and 6th of May, 1839, the following resolu tions, proposed by Professor JB rooks, of Aiassacnu setts, were maturely consiaerea and unanimously, adopted, viz.

How can itinerant teachers and lecturers best supply destitute places? Is a national system of instruction desirable? How should a school fund be applied?
