Be still, sad beart t 'and cease repining; Behind the cloud, is the sun still shining; Thy fates the common fate of all,— In each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. seket A 461aitter Coureireee. One of the most memorable passages ever uttered by -Kr. Webster, was in vindication of the authority of con science and of Providence, on a trial for a dark and mysterious warder.— " The guilty eoul cannot keep its own secret, it is false to itself, or rather it feels an irresistible influence to be true to itself. it labors under guilty pos session, and knows not. what to do with it. The human heart was not made fur the residence of such an inhabitant. It finds itself preyed upon by a torment which it does not acknowledge to God or man. A vulture is devouring it, and it can ask no sympathy on earth. The , secret which the murderer possesses, I soon comes to possess him; and like the evil spirit of which we read, it over c nnes hint, and leads him whithersoever it will. He feels it beating at his heart, rising, to his throat, and demanding dis closure. lie thinks the whole world sees it in his face, reads it in his eyes, and almost hears its working in the very- silence of his thoughts. It has become his master. It betrays his dis cretion, it, breaks down his courage, it, conquers his prudence. When sus picion fromlalthout begins to embar ras him an.kthe net of circumstances to entangle him, the fatal secret strug gles with still greater violence to burst forth. It must be confessed; and it will be confessed; there is no refuge from confession but suicide ; and suicide is confession." Tie 11!wta et the World What this change is to be we dare not even conjecture, but we see !n the heavens themselves some traces of de structive elements and some indications of their power. The fragments of broken planets—the descent of meteoric stones upon our globe-the wheeling comets welding their loose materials at the solar furnace—the volcanic eruption in our own satelite—the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance of others—are all foreshadows of that im pending convulsion to which the system of the world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet which is to be burned up, and under heavens which are to pass away; thus reading, as it were, on the cemeteries and dwelling upon the mau soleums of former worlds, let ns learn the lesson of humility and wisdom, if we have not already been taught in the school of revelation.—North British Beriew.

The venire being impaneled, and the jury solemnly charged by the clerk, the Commonwealth's Attorney called, in 'rapport of the indictment, the witness, Back Bryant, who being solemnly sworn, the truth to tell, testified as follows: Question by Commonwealth's At torney.—Tell all you know about the cutting of the prosecutor, by Casaady, the prisoner at the bar. Answer. Well, gentlemen, it was election day—'t was a dark, cloudy, wet sort of drizzly day, and says I to m y old woman, I believe I'll go down to Ring gold and 'posit my vote. And says my old woman to rne, well, Buck, as it is a sort of dark, cloudy, wet sort of drizzly day, says she, had'nt you better take your umbrill. Says I to tile old wo man, I spect I had better take the am brill. So I took the umbrill and ad vanced down towards Ringgold, and when I got down thar, Mr. Cole corned, ' and says be, uncle Buck, have you seed any thing of old neighbor Harris?— Says Ito Mr. Cole, for why ? Says ho, ho gigot my umbrill. (The witness was here intetrupted by the Court and told to confine himself to the actual fray be tween the prisoner and Colo, the prose cutor. In answer to which the witness remarked, in a tone of indignant re monstrance. Well now, Mr. Judge, you bold on, for I am sworn to telt the truth, and I am agwine to tell it my own way—so taint worth while fbr you to say nothing more about it—whereupon the court and commonwealth's attorney being anxious to get rid of the witness on any terms told him to go, on and tell the tale in his own way.) Well, as I was a going on to say. 'twos on 'lection day. Buchanan and Filmo was a can ning for the legislator, and says I to my old woman, old woman, says I, I b'love I'll go down to Ringgold to posit my vote.

Says I to the old woman, says I, I spect I bad better take my urn brit; so I tuo the umbrill and advanced on towards Ringgold, till I arriv thar. Well, the first thing I did when I got thar was to take a drink of Napoleon whiskey, which was monstrous good, and says I. to myself, says hoes, you feel better now, don't you? And while I was advancing around, Mr. Cole he come to me; says *he, Uncle Bock, says he, have you seen anything of old neighbor Harris? ,Saya I, fur why ? Says he, the old cook's got my umbrill. • Arter a while, I posited my vote, and then Mr. Cele and me advanced back towards home, and Mr. Cole was tight er than I ever s,ed him. And so we advanced along till we got to whar the road and path forked, and Mr. Cole and me tack the path, as any other gentle man would, and arter advancing a while, we arriv to old neighbour Hernia a set tin' tm a log with the nmbrill on his arm, and bout that time Elijah Cassady (the prisoner) coined np, and we advanced on till we arriv at Elijah's house.— Elijah is my neffew and likewise my son-in-law—he married my darter Jane which is next to my darter Sally. Ar ter he had advanced to Elijah's house we stood in the yard awhile a jawing, and presently two somebody's rid up on a hoss, which was Johnston before, and Whitfield Cassady behind.

A Pleasant Arair% Ono darlast week, says the Butern Argue, a merchant in Gardiner, Me., offered to give a barrel of tour to Rev. Charles Blake, a Baptist minister in that city, provided , the young. ladies would haul it to him. To this they consented, and having obtained a small pair of trucks, the barrel of sour was placed thereon, and about forty young ladies took ho'd of the ropes and drew the barrel about half a . mile,•up one of the steepest hills in Gardiner, to the minister s Louse. The Gardiner, s Band, seeing what was going on, headed the procession, and played some excellent music. There was a large crowd to witness the proceedings, and a cabins maker brought out a very handsome rocking chair, which he fastened to the barrel, and let it go as an additional present to the minister.

' When a lady' "(we are talking of a lady in the full height and breadth -of fashion) has got her bonnet and gloree on, and is perfectly .ready with her parasol in hand, she always goes back to the looking glass to take a last fond look. Upon our asking "dear, hand. some duchess" jf this was not the truth, and the bessistifnl truth, she had the charming candor to state, " Yes, my dear Punch, it is the truth, but not nll the truth. No woman, take my word for it, is satisfied with one look. At least I know that I am not, for (and here our duchess laughed, as though she was pleased with herself and all the world) 1 don't mind telling you, I in variably take four, four good ones.— The first look in the glues is for myself, that's fair; the second is for my hus band, that's nothing but just ; the third f)r my friends, that's only generous; the fourth is for my rivals, that's human nature If the last look satisties me, then I know it is all right, and I assure von I never take any more."—Leaden -Punch. air-According to a calculation recent ly made by XL PonHit, it is found that the quantity of heat which this earth receives from the sun in a year, is equal to the combustion of a strata of coal the diameter of the earth and seventeen iuches thick.

Washington more than seventy years ago, on the paper or bank currency question, will be read just now with no ordinary interest : MOUNT VERNON, Feb. 27, 1785 Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 80th lilt came duly to hand. To give an opinion in a cause of so much impor tance as that which has warmly agita ted the two branches of your legislature and which, from the appeal that is made, is likely to create great and per haps clangorous divisions, is rather a delicate matter; but as this diversity ;of opinion is on a subject which has, 'I believe, occupied the minds of most men. ' and as my sentiments long before the assembly either of Maryland:or this State was convened, I do not scruple to declare that in had a voles in year leg islature, it would have been given deci dedly against. a paper emission, upon the general principle of its utility as a representative and the necessity of it as a mediuzn. To assign reasons for this opinion would be as unnecessary as tedious ; the ground has been GO sago trod that a place hardly remains un• touched; in a word, the necessity aril ing. from a want. of specie is represen ted as greater than it really is. I con tend that it is by the eubstance, not the shadow of a tbing,that we are to be ben efited. Tho wisdom of man; In my humble nion, cannot, at this time, devise a • ..by which the credit of paper mo tif" Would be long supported ;• cense. AffigiW, depreciation keeps pace' with the q entity of emission, and articles 'for it is 'est:hanged rise in a greate do than the sinking value ar the money. Wherein, then, is the far: mer, the planX, e and the artisan ben*. fited? The r may be, beekuse,•as I have observed, he gives the shadow in lieu of the substance, and in , proper- Lion to his gain the .creditor or body politic suffer. Whether, it be s legal tender or not, it will, as has been ob served very truly, leave no alternative —it mast be that or nothing. An evil equally great is the door it immediately opens for speculation, by which the least designing and perhaps most val uable part of the community are prey. ed upon by more knowing and crafty speculators. But, contrary to ray in toUtion and declaration, I am offering reasons in support of my opinion•rea. eons, too, which, of all others, aro least pleasing to the" advocates for paperniC, Hey. 1 shall therefore only , cibserve t jenerally, that so many people have suffered by former emissions, that, like 1 a burnt child, who dreads the are, no pertain will touch it who can possibly avoid k the natural tionshquenee of , which wiltbe, that the specie'which ntitins unizported will be instantly locked up: With groat 'esteem and regard, • 'i am dear sir, ike. • GEORGB W ABHIN GTON. lIKAD THIS..IF TOW CAN.

" The Fearful Judgment."—The Hol lidaysharg Standard says : The last in formation on the subject of the man sit ting on a chair for blasphemy, throws some light upon the origin of the story. It is said that a man in Union county, and not at Mt.

It is the mere scaffolding to be used by the people while they aro putting up the permanent fabric Of their righto,und then it will be 'used no more. In the mean time all their terri torial laws remain hi full fbree until' the constitution takes their plaCe, exceptin so fer as this ichednia' is nsqd for ear- Tying on the election.
