three o'clock in the morning.
"Oh, yes, certainly. I'm in no hurry.
"Only walking for exercise. Just as soon

It makes me nervous."

"Whew did they take your money from

"Oh, yes; why at the pest-house. You
see I'm a small-pox patient, Just out for ex
ercise. They won't let me walk about in
the day time with , my face in this condition,
so I have to go it after dark, and late at
night, when the streets are empty. By the •
way, stranger, the wind is rather in your
direction, and, unless you ain't particular
about it, it might be just as well to stand on
the other side. I've got my silver watch,
though. If you like it, come and take_ It.
You're at perfect liberty to search me, if
you like, only don't point that pistol this
way; it's uncomfortable. D'ye want the
old watch ?"
"No, thank you, said the robber, back

only walking for exercise, it won't incom

„"Oh, not a particle. I'd just as soon walk
with you, if you desire It. Either way,
though, it's all the same to Inc. Thank you .
for your half. • Won't you join me and drink

RT SIRS. LINCOLN PHELPS
JOHN TYLER'S CHARACTER AND
T.
By the death of President flarriaon, soon
after his hutuguration in 1841, the Vice
President, Je'din Tyler, became his succe. -
soc, according to the law of the connuy.—
Both Harrison and Tyler were natives of
Charles-city County, situated on the James
river, in Virginia; a branch of which, the
Chicattomlay; so circles the county as to
render it a peninsula. This same Chica
hominy had a historical record connected
with the American Revolution; and in the
annals of the war of the Rebellion will
bold a place In connection with bloody en
gagements and discouraging defeats of the
United Statei army.
President Harrison was born in 1773.
He bad borne a long life of hardships and
adversities, toot the sun of prosperity, shin
ing too brightly upon a head .rosied by age,
his life malted away. Tyler, who was
nearly thirty years his junior, had been
nominated for the Vice Presidency, becalm
the Booth claimed this office, and no other
available man was thou ht of. That he
would ever become President, seemed not
to have beeti contemplated. Though Mr.
Tyler's politiesl course had been somewhat
•crooked, the Whig party, ty whom be was
elected. had confidence that he would be
faithful to their interests. But the country
I was astonished at his first public acta,which
showed hostility to the great Whig policy of
a National Bank, the pet of Henry Clay,
then the leader of the party. Congress had
passed the hill for the establishment of such
a Bank, but to the surprise of the Nation,
and consternation of the Whig party, the
bill was met by the President's veto. Hop
ing to effect acompromisc with Mr. Tyler,
a modification of the National Bank, under
the name or "The Fiscal Corporation of
the United States," was passed through
Congress ; but this also received the Presi
dent's veto, and from that time to the end
of his administration he was regarded with
suspicion and 'distrust by all parties.
• The Cabinet Ministers whom President
Harrison had selected, end whom it was
hoped his successor would respect and con
sult, seeing their opinions had no influence,
and unwillingto remain in a false position,
gave in their resignations. Daniel Webster
alcne remained In his place—that of Secre
tary of State. !His enemies imputed ilia to
his 'love of power and office, while We,
friends gave him credit for the wish to
serve his eoubtry in the hour of danger.--:-
Thus do persoas and things appear accord
ing to the light through which they are
viewed.
In an old private journal of that period,
dated "Philadelphia, August 12, 1841,"
we find a reference to President Tyler's
vetoes, with kune incidental remarks upon
certain literary personages, whom for the
first time we met at our bolirding house on
4th Street, near-Walnut.
Walter Colton, late Chaplain of the Navy,
was then editor of the "North American."
He had, published his popular work, "Ship
and Shor, and yoyage to Constantinople."
To quote 'horn the journal :
"Mr. Coiton.is somewhat below medium
size, of a serloius countenance, and revers,

to take offtince, and venturing some remark
was met by; a Cordial response ; whereupon

of lofty demeanor." .]Sr. Colton Is fond of
music ; he seems to enjoy Jane's harp play
ing. There have been some pins taken to
have a good instrument for her, and she is
never backward to do her part. Miss Leslie
too enjoys the harp; so that we have all
become very good friends.
"Mrs. Judge Berrien, of Georgia, intro
duced by a mutual friend, pleases me by her
simple, unassuming manners ; she dresses
her children with great aimplicity in calico
frocks with long sleeved aprons."
It must be considered that this old Jour
nal was written in 1841, when the South
was regarded as an El Dorado, and South
ern families at the North were generally ex
travagant Passing from Philadelphia to
Washington in 1841, the private journal
from which we have quoted has pages
written from the seat of government, under
date of Sept. 6th. It was our first visit
there, and our first impressions are thus ex
pressed :
"If is very difficult to realize that I am
now in the Capitol of the United States ;
small indeed when compared to New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. Looking out
from my window in the second story of
Gadaby's Hotel,* where we have a fine suite
of rooms, I see an extensive waste com
mon, with clay banks and patches of scanty
herbage, not relieved by shrub or tree, and
that muddy Tiber and poor Goole-creek.
How humiliating is all this to the pride of
Americans! What must foreigners think of
our national glory ? Congress adjourned its
special session a few days since, but with
out coming to any terms with the President.
The country is in a state of excitement."
In the autumn of this same year, 1841,
the writer, having assumed the charge of the
Patapsco Institute in Maryland, visited
Washington during the winter session of
Congreaa, and thus journalizes under date
of Feb. 15, 1842:—"We find pleasant
rooms, which had been engaged for us at
tholsby's, but tod many ups and downs
(like political life) to get to them. After a
hasty arrangement of =toilettes, we went
to the Capitol, but nothing of interest was
going on. We met with Mrs. Judge
R--- , of New York, and her father
Gov. V—as, recently returned from his
Mission to Spain. They proposed going
with us to the President's reception this eve
ning. At dinner, we were interested in
the conversation of a distinguished Phila
delphia lawyer, Mr. Sergeant, and saw
mat , other celebrities." The particulars
of the President's reception, as described in
the private journal, we will not copy in
full, but make a few extracts :—"The Pres
ident approached as I was conversing with
his daughter-in-law, Mn. Robert Tyler, jr.
Some one remarked upon the throng of ap
plicants for office. He said the ladies are
nioApressing ; some begging for husbands,
brothers and sons, others for their lovers.—
One young lady, whom he had met at the
Harrisburg Convention,had appealed to him
to redeem his pledge, his signet ring. It
is evident that Mr. Tyler has a spice of ro
mance hi his character."
Yes, this was manifested some years after
in his marriage to a young lady who might
have been his daughter.
The old jounal gives our impressions of
many persons whose names will remain con
nected with the history of our country. An
interesting interview with Mrs. Madison is
described, her manner of receiving In her
own house, &c. But we have already ex
tendmi this article beyond our limits.—
Should circumstanceoavor, we will offer
another article for the "Star d• Sentinel,"
and finish our remarks on the life of John
Tyler, the tenth President of the United
States.

Tux dos OP Oen Estrrn.—Among the
astounding discoveries of science, Is that of
the immense periods that have passed in the
gradual formation of the earth. So vast
were the cycles of the time preceding even
the appearance of man on the surface of our
globe, that our own period seems as yester
day, when compared with the epochs that
have gone before it. Had we only the evi
dence .of the deposits of rocks heaped on
each other in regular strata by the slow ac
cumulation of materials, they alone would
convince us of the long and slow maturing
of God's work on earth ; but when we add
to these the successive populations of whose
life the world has been the theater, and
whose remains are hidden in the rocks into
which the mud, or sand, or soil of
whatever kind On which they lived, has
hardened in the course of time—or the
enormous chains of mountains whose up
heaval divided these pert ods of quiet accu

lands beneath the ocean, or the gradual
rising of continents and islands above—or
the slow growths of the coral reefs, those
wonderful sea walls raised by the little
ocean architects, whose own bodies furnish
both the building stones and the ceme'n that
binds them together, and who worked so
busily during the long centuries that there
are extensive countries, mountain chains,
islands, and long lines of coast, consisting
solely of their remains—or the counties,
forests that have grown up, flourished and
decayed, to fill the storehouse of coal that
feeds the fires of the human race—if we
consider all these records of the past, the
intellect fails to grasp a ehronolou of

NOTTIPITO TO no
It is not creditable to our women ihat
they alone supply the class of professed
idlers In this country. None in America
but the young ladies, as they choose to bo
called, dare to acknowledge that they have
nothing to do. The few male youths, born
heirs to fortnne,wbo are without occupation,
being equally insignificant in number and
character, are not worth taking into ac-
count. It is a fact that our rich men are
generally among the busiest of people ; and
although their work may not always be of
the more noble kind, still It is not less true
that they sewn to be idlers. It Is impossi
ble ibr men to live as drones in this coun
try. They are either driven out of the
American hive or smothered in its sweets.
Our countrymen who an men of fortune
and have nothing to do, either go to Europe,
or, if they stay at home, destroy themselves
with the met of indolence or satiety of In
dulgence.
Oar women—of course we speak of those
who are beyondthe necessity of earning
their daily bread by their daily labor—are
deliberately educated to idleness. Their
namby-pamby schooling, with its frivol
ous accomplishments, as they are termed,
has no other purpose and no. other result
than to,give them a thin varnish of learn
ing, to conceal from the casual observer
their real Ignorance. Beyond the passable
facility of reading and writing, which they
acquire in common with the humblest
American, they have merely the manners,
or rather the pretension, of education.
This consists in nothing more than such a
familiarity with the terms and names of
science and literature as not to be very much
startled at their mention in polite society.
The only difference, for example, between
Bridget the maid, and Miss Arabella upon
whom she attends, is probably that the ser
vant, If not long in the country, never--and
the mistress often basz-heard, tor example,
the name of Shakespeare.. Both are equally
ignorant of what he has written. It is not
likely there are many young ladies who
would feel themselves, like Dr. Johnson's
fisherman, grossly insulted by being termed
philologists ; but most of them, we fear,
would have to turn to their dictionaries be
fore they could measure the size of the
compliment. Few, very few, we are sorry
to confess, of the occupants of our parlors
know the poets, philosophers, and historians
intimately ; more have merely a speaking
acquaintance ; but most barely recognize
them when they see their names or bear
them spoken of. That an education with
such a result should terminate so soon is
perhaps not to be regretted ; but it is lamen
table that the finished damsels of our
"Female Institutes" and fashionable schools
do not find something more serious than the
frivolities of dress and social dissipations*
occupy their adult energies.
Some, with a suitable preliminary educa
tion, would find a sympathetic pursuit In
science or literature, but a capacity or taste
for these is not given to aIL Mere house
hold duty, however incumbent Upon every
woman in certain positions, is not enough,
especially where her means will allow of
the severer laborers being imposed upon
servants, to engage the fall mental energy
of a sound female intellect. No properly
constituted and developed mind can ever be
satisfied with an insight into the mysteries
of raspberry-jam,or a knowledge of the con
struction of an apple-dumpling. There is,
Moreover, no necessity for an exclusive de
votion to the details of household duty. .
'these, of course, must not be neglected, but
their fullest performance is entirely consis
tent with other more serious occupation.
There seems to be no reason why most
women, even those who are so fortunate as
to possess male relations capable and will
ing to support them, should not have in
common with men a vocation. Their use
fulness, and their happiness too, would be
grately increased if they took a larger share
in the business of the world. Why should
they not fit themselves to become partners
with their future husbands in the various
callings? Why should they not, like their
brothers, learn to do something -by which
they might lessen their burden Upon society,
or secure, in case of necessity, their entire
independence ?
Our young women should get rid, in the
first place, of the ides that the great object
of life is to become merely finely-dressed
female idlers, or what they are so fond of
being called, ladles. It would be well that
this term were abolished altogether, or kept
to use exclusively with the prefix of "fine,"
tea term of contempt as now properly ap
plied to a class of worthless women. With
the casting off of the word tidy as vulgar
ized in our country, and the general assump
tion of the term woman, would come a bet
ter appreciation of her dales. Our daugh
ters and wives would then be leas disposed
to live as if the perfection of their , being
was to be finely dressed and have nothing
to do.
A lAPANZSE Exzermos.—While we had
been making our tour of inspection the
doomed culprit had been unlashed and dis
mounted from his horse at the gate. But
when set on his feet he was unable to stand,
owing to weakness and the constrained and
painful position in which he had bees kept
so long, and his guards were obliged to car
ry him into the precincts of the -prison.
Here an ample breakfast had I been provid
ed, of which he ate heartily, and with ell
dent enjoyment. After a full half hour It
was intimated to him that bis presence was
expected. With the assistance of an atten
dant on each side, he walked slowly Into
the execution-ground, and was - placed,
kneeling and sitting on his heels (in the uni
versal Japanese posture), behind' a small
hole dug out for the 4 reception of his head.
Some ten yards in front of him, sad sews,
ted by a rope running across the square,
eat the presiding yakonin and the prison
authorities, calmly fanning themselves;
and beyond these again were six or eight
foreigners who had been admitted.
The prisoner's arms were then pinioned
behind his back; but before the cloth was
tied over his eyes, he requested that s min
ute's grace might be allowed him. This
being granted, he raised a weak, quavering
voice to its highest pitch, and screamed
out, "My Mends!" Immediately an un
earthly chorus of wells answered the poor
wretch from big friends outside the walls,
none of whom could be seen from the in
terior.' .This was followed by "Symms "
(good bye), and by a deeper and mere pro
. longed wail from the crowd Millie, The
prisoner *then signaled to ids guards that he
was ready, and submitted qukitiy to the
operation of blindfolding; the executioner
stepped up, and carefully adjusting the vic
tim's head a little on °inside, so as to hang
exactlyvver the hole prepared to receive it,
signified that all was ready ; the word was
given, when, without raising his. weapon
more than a foot atom the neck of the con
desaned, the executioner brought down his
heavy hisde.with an audible thud which de

All letters containing valuables are record

estintate of the amount of matter that ac

livered to owner!, 156,081; total money
letters received, in value, *7,383,31. The
prominent cause of the non-delivery of let
ters is the unmailable character of many of
them. The largest receipts were during the
war, when thousands of letters failed to
reach the soldiers to whom they were ad
dressed. Many foreign letters are not de
livered on account of insufficient addresses.
The geographical extent of the United
States and Territories being as yet unset
tled, and the constant arrival of emigrants
in search of new homes in remote regions,
and the continual changing of placat of
abode in a thinly settled country operate to
increase the difficulty in the delliery•ot for
eign letters, many bearing only the name,
and addresied "United States " Many are
addressed without any destination being at
tached, others ant not stamped, and a great
many are stamped with United States inter

are selected the following addresses, some
of which betray ignorance, but the majori- .

others might be given, but the above are
fair specimens. In a small room adjoining

THE WANDERER'S PRAYER.
On a cold, dreary evening . in autumn, a
small boy, poorly clad, yet cleanly and tidy,
with a pack upon his back, knocked'at the
door of an old Quaker in the town of B—.
"Wss Mr. Lenman at home ?" "Yes." The
boy wished to see him, and hoirwas speedily
ushered into the boat's presence.
Friend Immo was one of the wealthiest
men in the county, and President of the
L---Valley Railroad. The boy had
come to see if he could obtains situation on
the road. He said he was an orphan—his
mother had been dead only two months,.
and he was now a homeless wanderer. But
the lad was too small for the filling of any
place within the Quaker's gift, and be way
forced to deny him. Still he liked the look.
of the boy, and said to hint :
"Thee may stop in my house to-night, ,
and on the morrow I will giie thee names
of two or three gbod Men Ili Philadelphia,
to whom thee may apply with assurance of
kind reception, at least. lam sorry I have
no employment Art thee."
Later In the evening the old Quaker went
the rounds of his spacious Matudon, lantern
in hand, as was Dis wont, bine that all was

passed the door of the little chamber where
the poor wenderingorphan had been placed
to sleep, he heard a voice, He stopped and
listened, and distingushold the tones of a
simple, earnest prayer. H. bent his ear
nearer, and heard these worth from the boy's
lips:
