peace of those around, she llas it in her poWer to
check the flow of grief,to allayi the rising of passion',
to soothe the care-worn and-tiurtied spirit, and to

The kind i hearted old geetiqnaan immediately
went to her aisistan ce. He fenud her lying on

tried to cofnfort her, but 'c l jkledltain no answer.
'Leavens alone,' said ?hi the keeper. 'Per

When they were: alone togith t et, he pit back tho

DEBT. '
„ Debt is of the very highest antiquity. The first
debt in the history of mat is the debt of natOre,
and the first instinct is to put off the 'payment of ,
it till the last moment. itlany persons, itlid be
observed, following the natural procedure, would
die before they would pay their debts. , Soeiety is
composed of two classes, debtor or creditor. The
creditor class has been erroneously supposed the
more enviable. Never was there a greater mis
conception. The debtor has the sympathies' of
mankind. He is seldom spoken of but with ex
pressions of tenderness and compassion l — ,, the
pbor debtor 1 .," the ri unfortunate debtor V,' On
the other hand tt harsh and hard-hearted " arc the
epithet:, aligned to the creditor. A debuir is a
man of mark. Many eyes are fixed upon him;,
many have. an interest in 'his well being; his
'Mnveinents arece concern ; he cannot ; disappear
unheeded ; his name isinlmany mouths ; hi' name
is upon many boors; he is a man of note-tof pro.
.ttlissory note; he fills the speculation of many
' minds ; men conjecture whether he will pa'. He
is a man of consequence,;for many are running
after him. Hie door is'thlonged with duns. Be
iv inqUired after every hour of the day. Bring all
things to the-test, of experiment. Many 'a man
who has for years rejoiced in credit has fallen into
debt; and never emerged from it, but fear, indeed
that have ever tried,debt have returned.td credit.
The practice is extending, though .the opinion is
not yet shaped' to it. Indeed the example of the
national debt, or the whole nation inextricably in
debt, expressed"; the , aggregate custom. "The
landlord," says Sir W. Ingleby, "lives in alodg
ing: with his cll woman and his cat." Who will
hesitate to consent to the , robbery of a Man who
lives with an'old woman and a cat? Turn the
old woman into a wife and the cat into a child,
and the lodging into an humble tenementiwith all
the decorums of the love of order, the pr;de into ,
reathess, and imagine confiscation swe+ing off
all the- little gracings of slender circumstances and
the national debtor might be compassionated, but'
these ,things cannot be imagined of the genus,
creditor. The creditor always figures in Ithe fan
cy as a sod single man,,,with grizzled 'hair, a
,scowling countenance, and a peremptory fair, who
lives in a dark apartment with musty deeds about
• 1.
him, and an iron safe,as impenetrable as his heart,
grubbing together • what he does not enjoy. 'The ,
debtor, on the Other hand, is alw'ay's pictMed with
a wife and six fair headed daughters, bhund to
gether ;in affection and misery, full of sensibility
and suffering without a fault. •
DErINITION or "Fittr Tasnr.,—The
Intelligencer very opportunely potis the fol
ltnying extract from a speech of Mr. Clay, deliv
ered in the Senate in 1832, in defence •of the 11-
merican . System. It very clearly deAnes free '
trade, according to the theory of certain politi;
cians 1:
"When gentlemen have succeeded hi t their de
sign of an immediate orgradual destruelon of the
American Systein, what is their' substittltel Free
Trade! The'call for free trade is as unavailing
as The cry of a spoiled 'Child in its nur'se's arms,
for the moon or stars that glitter in the firmapent
of heaven. It never has existed, it never will ex
ist, it never can exist. Trade • implies at least
two parties. To be free, it should he fair, equal
and reciprocal. But if we throw; our orts Wide
open to the admission of foreign produdtions, free
of all duty, what ports of any, foreign nation shall
we find open to the free adiniision of oir surplus
produce? We may break down allharriers to
free trade on our part, but the work Will not be
complete until foreign Powers shall rem l ove theirs;
There would be freedom on one side, and restric
tions; prohibitions, and' exclusions on i the - other,
The bolts, and the bars and the chains of all other
nations will remain undisturbed. Its is indeed
possible that our industry and commerce would ae
erimmodatelhemselves to this unequal 'and unjust
state of things : for such is the flexibility of our
nature that it bends itself to all circumstances.

Mak. CLAT:--A PATTERN HOVSEAVITE.--
The following extract is from a-letter recently ra
calved by a ientlemen in Chester county. Mrs.
Clay, the' wife of the farmer of illustrates
the truth that a "virtuous' woman is: a crown to
her husband." • •
theSe days efecononiy, indiistrY, and repub
licaaialn, it may not be uninteresting to some of
your reader's, Mr. Editors, to learn that Ashland
is a market farm, and that Lexington is indebted
to it for large supplies of dairy prodnee and vege
tables, and .that during Mr. Clayls sojourn at
Washington, the active duties are petformed
by Mrs. Clay. Of how well she is qualified for
these duties, we leave to the deterinination of the
fair dairy mistresses of Chester county, not doubt
ing that they will decide her equally qualified to
preside over the domestic economy of , Ashland and
to do the part of the hostess at the White House
in 1845, when we tell them that Nits. Clay's but
ter is the most sought agar, and Clay's milk
cart brings the richest cream ofany;that comes to'
Lexington.
During the summer of 1841, there was sold of ,
fruit and vegetables is the Lexingt o n market ; .
-61200, worth that were produced . cm Ashland
der the management of Mrs. Clay. It is not cm.
usual to see this paragon of farmer's wives during
her husband's absence, knitting is directing
the labors of the workmen in - the,'fields, and Mr.
dhiy . scarcely ever returned frona Washington !
without-his good spouse being to show him
some improvement that she had plinned and ote
euted whilst he was away."
