The Credit Syste
A FOE TO HONESTY.
...ea, oaf! the world ought to be by this time
tware that the "credit system" is one of
'W he most unmitigated curses that ever
flirted htinianity, and has created more vil-
Jams then all the other influence' s of a false and arti
trial state of society. Therefore, we wish most earn
estly to Impress upon all dealers of every kind, in this
commercial age, the great palladium of honesty and fair
dealing, "Casa and no Two rategal" If this motto
should be universally adopted, mankind would become
speedily honest.
Just take the ease of the tohntry people who supply
our markets with provlsions---if the scale happens to
turn. "btu in the estimation of a hair," they are lialde
to lose all.' Rot let these same persons go into a store y
'to make a purchase of any kind, and the chances are.
'that sometting like the following' svilrtake place:
Prskaser.—flow much do you ask for this?
Verdant.—So much; (naming a price about twice
'what be is willing to take rather than not sell.)
Purclaser.-1 can't give that price; (wal<ing towards
the door.)
— Aferniant.—Stop, Stop, my friend! • Whar will you
give I.
Parckarcr.—(returning.)—Well I dmnt know—you
appear to ask' very high for your goods ; I will give you
just half what you mentioned !use now.
...iferchost.--Well, you shall have the goods for that
• price— but I give you my word of honer that it is far
below coot.
Now we appeal to men of common sense wether this
is honesty, or the reverse of It. If you want good and
cheap HATS, therefore, at one Invariable and uniform
. price, and no mistake, cation the subscriber. If we are
•
ever guilty of asking two prices take our Hat for noth

MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER TO BROTHER
4 LOVING BALLAD
Albany, (England,) June 8, ISIS
Ito !brother, I'm n Britisher,
A chip of heart of oak, '
That would'nt warp or swerve nr stir
From
rom whetl thought or spoke,
And 7011,—a blunt and honest man,
Straightforward, kind and truo,-
1 tell you, brother Jonathan, -
That you're a Ilrlhip too.
I know your heart, an open heart, •
I read your mind and null, ,
A grey-hound ever on the start
To run for honor still,
And shrewd to scheme a tritely plan,
And stout to see it done; •
I tell you, brother Jonathan,
That you and I are one.
There may be jealousies and strife,
For ruin have selfish ends,
. But petty quarrels ginger life
And help to season friends ;
And pundits who with solemn scan
Judge humans most aright,
Decide it, testy Jonathan, ,
That brothers always light.
' Twn fledgling sparrows .in one nest,
Will chirp shouts worm ;
Then how should eaglets meekly rest,
`. The children of the steno
- Not while their rustled pinions fin
. ' The eyrie's diiiy side,
Like you and me, my Jonathan,
• it's all for love and pride.
"God save the Queen" delights you still,
And" British Grenadiers, "
The good old strains your heart-strings thrill,
And catch you by both ears;
• '
And we-0 hate us Wyatt ca*,
For we are proud of you—
We like ynu, brother Johathan,
And Yankee Doodle too! •
There's nothing foreign on your face, •
Nor strange upon your tongue;._ r
You came not of another race,
From baser lineage sprung ;
No, brother: though away you ran,
As truant boys will do,
Stilt true it it, young Jonathan,
My fathers fathered you.
Time was—it wan not longago.
Your grandsire went with mine,
To battle traitors, blow the blow,
For Englands's royal line;
Or tripped to court to kiss Queen Anne,
Or worship mighty Bess ;
And youand I, good Jonathon,
Went with them then, 1 guess.,
Together both, hours tong ago,
Among the roses fought,
Or rhureing tierce the Psynim foe,
Old all knight errants ought,
A. Cavalier or Puritan
Together pray',l.or more, :
For Johns own brother Jonathan
Was only John of yore
There lived a man, a man of men,
A king on fancy'. throne, .
We ne'er Shall ore his like again,
The globe Is all his own;
And if we claim him orour clan,
The haltbelongs to you,
For Shako are, happy Jonathan,
yours and ours 11,0
There was another glorious name,
A poet for all time,
Who gained the double-first of fame,
The beautinil—sublime;
:And let us hide him as we can;
More miserly than pel7,
The Yankee, brother Jonathan,
Cries halves In 3111 turtle self!
Well, well; and every praire of old
That makes us famous still,
You would be just and may, be bold
To share it if you will,
Since England'a glory first began,
the.other day,
The half is yours but, Jonathan,
Why did you run away I '

In nation and in name, '
How gladly would the very suu
Lie basking In our fame!
In either world to lead the van
And go ahead for good. •
While earth to John and Jonathan, _
Yields tribute gratitude
Add but your stripes and gulden Stars
To brave St. George's cross.
And never dream of mutual wars, '
Two dunces' mutual loss.
Let ns two bless when others ban,
And love when ethers hate; •
And on. my cordial Jonathan,

A loftier strain to win,
Nor glance at prophet.. priests, and kings.
Or heavenly kith and kin;
As friend with friend, and man with man,
O let oar hearts be thus,
As David's love to Jonathan

I 7 Courage in Women.—There is a kancla
of general education which is not at all necessary
for women...as regards which, indeed, it is well
if they are not brought up tocultivate the opposite.
Women are not taught to be courageous. indeed,
to some persons, coutage may seem as unneces
sary for women as Latin and Greek. I'Lt there are
few things that would tend to make women hap
pier in themselves and more acceptable• to those
'with whom they live, then courage. There 'are
many women of the present day, sensible vromeo
in other things, whose panic terrors ate a frequent
source of discomfort to themselves and those
around them. Now it is a great mistake to
imagine that hardness must go with courage ; and
that the bloom of gentleness and sympathy most
all be rubbed off by that vigor of mind which gives
presence of mind, enables a person .to be useful
in peril, and makes the desire to assist to over
come
thatsicklines• of sensibility which can only
contemplate distre'ss and difficulty. So far from
courage being unfeminine, there is a peculiar
grace and dignity in those beings who have little
active powers of attack or defence, passing through
danger with a moral; ci;urage which is equal to
that of the strongest. We see this in great things.
We perfectly appreciate the-sweet acid noble dig
nity of a Mary Queen of Scots, or a Marie
Antoinette. We see that it is grand for these
delicately, bred, high natured, htlpless person
ages, to meet death with a silence and a confidence
like man's.
Butthere would be asingular dignity to woman's
bearing Small terrors with fortitude. There is no
beauty in fear. It is a mean, ugly, dishevelled
creature. No statue can be made of it that a
woman would wish to see herself like. Women
are pre-eminent in steady endurance of tiresome
suffering; they need not be far behind,men in a
becoming courage -to meet that which is sudden
and sharp. The dangers. and, the troubles, too,
which we may venture to say they now start at
unreasonably, are many of them mere creatures
of tho imagination—such as in their way, disturb
high-mettled animals brought up to set too little,
therefore frightened at any leaf -blown across the
road. We may be quite sure that without losing
any of the most delicate and refined graces, woman
may be taught not to give way to unseasonable
fears, which should belong no more to the fragile
than the robust:

Oar The Wild Turkey.—This elegsait bird is
the original stock from which &lithe common do
mestic turkeys have been produced. It Is • na.
use of America, and is found in ill the Western
parts of the,United States and North America,
from Like Superior to the Isthmus of Panama.—
They 'abound in the forests and unsettled parts of
the Union, but ere nut numerous in Fl nide, Geor
gia, or the Carolinas. They are very rare in the
Northern and Eastern parts of the Voiced States.
They were formerly abundant in Canada, but as
their places of resort become settled and thickly
peopled, they retire and seek refuge in the-remot
est recesses of the interior. In New York they
appear to have been destroyed many years ago,
but they are still found'in the Eastern parts of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These birds do
not confine themselves to any particular food, but
eat corn, berries, grapes, barley, tadpoles, young
frogs, and lizards. Their favorite food, however,
is the peanut and scorn. Where there is an
abundant crop of acorns, there numerous flocks
of turkeys may be expected. In the fall, they di
rect their course in vast numbers to the rich lands
on the borders of the Ohio and Mississippi. The
males And females travel separately, but all in the
same direction. Before.cimising a river, they as
semble on the highest eminences, and remain
there as if in consultation for a day or two. At
length, after due preparation, the leader gives •
signal note, and they all wing their way to- the
opposite shore. Sone of the young and Weak
fall into the water and are obliged to swim for
their lives, using all the means in their power, and
thennost violent exertions to reach the shore.—
Many, however, perish in the attempt,_ It. is ob
served, that, after these laetrile', the turkey, are
so familiar, that they fearlessly enter the planta
tion in search of food. Greet numbers are killed
'at this time.- and kept in a frozen state to be sent
to distant markets. -
They begin to build in April; the nest is very
simple in construction, being only composed of a
few dried leaves. The female lays sometimes
twenty, but more usually nine or fifteen eggs,
which are white, spotted with blown. Wild tur
',keys are very tenacious of their feeding grounds,
as well .as of the trees on which they have once
roosted.
Flocks have been known to resort to the spot,
for a succission of years; and to.. return after a
distant emigration in search of food; They roost
on a point of land jutting into a river, where there
are large trees in great numbers. When they are
all quiet for the night, they are very easily shOt
as so experienced hunt. r may secure nearly the'
whOle flock, as the turkeys fancying , them.el /es
secure when at roost, are not alarmed by; either
the sportsman or. his gun.
The flesh of the wild turkey is. of excellent
flavor, being more delicate and jury than that of
the omestic turkey. The Indians value it so
highly that they term it, when roasted, oche white
man's dish.", -
The male of the wild turkey is nearly four feet
in length ; the female is only three feet and a
quarter (Ong. The plumage of the. male is very
brilliant, and of a variety of hues; that of the fe
male is not as beautiful.. When starting abroad
and displaying himself, this bird has a very state
ly, and handsome appearance, and appears to be
quite sensible of the admiration be excites.
A flaw species, called the ocellated turkey, has
been discovered in Honduras, which is of smaller
size, and of more brilliant•plumage than the tur
key of the United States. It has small ocellated
spots on the tail.

EV' Pennsylvania's Great Men.—The State
of Pennsylvania has never received justice at the
hands of historians. This arrises from the fact
•
that most of the writers of this country have] been
New England born, and have eulogized their own
sectionpf the Union at the expense of the Mid
dle States, and particularly 'of Pennsylvania.—
And yet few States have produced as many great
metres the 'old Keystone.'
In military genius, especially. this' Common
wealth ).‘ss been fertile. Here Way ne, "the thun
derbolt of war," was born and breed, a men with a
courage as great as either Putnam or Arnold, but
possessing more talent than the first, and more
principle than the last. Here COS.) was born
Major General Brown, the first officer to check
the British arms in the last war, and whose vic
tories at Sackett's Harbor, Ch•ppewa, Lundy's
Lane sod Fort Erie, extorted peace from England.
and elevated our national glory to the highest
pitch to the Mexican war, Persifer Smith and
Cadwalader, both lons of Pennsylvania, have
maintained, with unabated effulgence, the repute- .
lion of this State. Besides these generals of first
rate ability; the "old Keystone" can boast of other,
Armstrong, the elder Cadwoluders, and
'a host of inferior, rank!
Some of the greatest naval heroes of the Unita
States are Pennsylvanian.. Here was born Nicht
else Biddle, the captain of the frigate Randolph,
which was blown up during an _frigate
with
a British force in the war of .Independence.—
Here was born and bred Commodore Stewart, the
hero of more than a dozen victories. Decatur,
the Nelson of America, may be considered a na.
rive of, Pennsylvania, for here his parents resided,
and here his - boyhood was spent, though his birth
occurred in Maryland, during a temporary sojourn
of his mother there. Capt. James Biddle is ,a
native of Pennsylvania. The chivalrous liee
tenant Burrows was born in this commonwealth.
Pennsylvania has been the adopted State of others
of almost equal renown. Here Barry, Dale, Bar
ney. Murray, Hill, Portei, and many more of the
gallant spirits of the navy established their fam
ilies, resided while on shore. and finally laid their
bones. A host of officers of lesser rank and re
nown owe their birth to Pennsylvania! In a
word, the presence of Independence Hall seems
to art like a spell on the military genius of our
Stste, for in -,seasons of peril to our common
country, the sons uf Pennsylvania bare ever been
foremost in the strife.
In men of science and professional skill. Penn
aylvanis has, from the first, taken the lead. Here
Rittenhouse, the great mathematician, was born,
in the little village of Germantown, *bout six
miles from Philadelphia. Godfrey, the inventor
of the Quadrant, and Bartram, the great botan
ist, were born in Pennsylvania. It was in ban
caster county, of this State, that Fulton drew his
first breath. Here Hare, the inventor of the
compound blow-pipe, and one of the' greatest
chemists of the age, had his native place. Here,
a boat of medical men of the highest reputation
have flourished,—Rush. Physick, Wistar, Par,
nab, Chapman and Gerhard. Here have been
born and bred some of the greatest lawyers of
this or any age. • Here, Bishop White, the first
Bpiicepal Dish* and Wm. Bradford, the first
Attorney General of the United States was born.
Pennsylvania may well Maim Franklin Tor iier
own, for though he was born in Massachusetts, he
emigrated hither in youth, and here all his great
discoveries were made. Hera Fitch set in motion
the first boat ever propelled by steam in America,
nearly twenty years before Fulton ascended the
Hudson. Here, Robert Morris, the great finan
cier; Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen gas;
Thomson, the Secretary or the first Googly's, and
other distinguished men, burn abroad, won their
reputation, and fixed their permanent.homeo.
West, the great painter, was born in this State;
so also was Ramsay, the American historian.—
Lindley Murray, the grammarian ; Darby, the I
geographer ; and Barton, the medical authors:
were natives of Pennsylvania. Catlin, the great
Indian traveller, owes his origin to this Common
wealth. Daniel Boone, the pioneer of Kentucky.
was born in Bucks County. Pennsylvania, and
not in Virginia, as the popular biographies of his
life record. Brady, the celebrated scout - , was also
born in this State. Henry, the inventor of the
screw-augur. wee a native of Lancaster, in Penn
sylvania. Lenhart, the ms b was born
in York , Cu. Denning, the first man to form

t°' Hint as to Sehew{ling.—A common error,
into which many psrenti fall, is to send their
children 'to an inferior school first, and afterwards
to place them in in establishment where they
may, as it is termed '.finish" their education.—
Now, not only is the pupil a severe loser by this
method. but the toaster, 10 . whose care ha is at .
lend" confided, experience' much additional
trouble. He has not only new to load the youth
into a right path, but to lead him back from many
• wrong one ; not merely to one him! reille far- ,
ther acquisition of good habits, but to endeavor to
root out many 'that are faulty. It is related by ,
Quintilian, that those who' went to leam t inuaic of
Timotheus,, paid double price if they had received
any previous instruction- f -a safeguard I would re
commend to general adoption by good teichets.—
But there ero other evils (connected with such a
system, not to mention ;hose, which result from
change of plane to the a °dent himself. It is ob.
riot's that no tutor can be expected to take much
interest in the progress of children who are plac
ed with him only as a temporary thing. Where
as, if it is understood the i t they are to continue
with him so long as his treatment to them is - What
it ought to be, he has an incentive to deligence in
tho highest degree efrectiSa. He looks upon them
as the future ornament of his school; and they
immediately come under the influence of those
' well regulated stimulants, which urge them on to
fill up the ranks of those who are about to finish
their scholastic: corium,. A well directed estab
liahment, and where the morale, intellectual int.
provement, and health of the pupileare carefully
and assiduously attended to, presents 'dimities
which ought to be appreciated by parents. though
