And swell the stores of Memory—
There is no envy there.

From our own forms,'and dart en all;
But when they leave us, all the shade
Is round our own sad foo'isteps made,
And they are bright and clear.
The dead alone are blest!

A GARDEN OVERRUN 'VTR WEEDS
"Father, I don't like to go to school," said
Harry Williams, one morning. I wish you
would alway's let me stny 'at home. Charles
Parker's father don't make him go to school.-
Mr. Williams took hie little boy by the hand;
and said kindly to him, "Come my son, I want
to show you something in the garden."
Harry walked into the garden with his foth•
er, who led him along until they came to a bed
in which pens was growing, the vines support
ed by thin branches that bail been placed in
the ground. Not a wood was to be seen about
their roots ; nor .even disfiguring the
around the bed in which they had been plant
ed.
IMMETO3SI
"See how beautifully these ?peas are grow
ing my son," said Mi. Williams. "How clean
and healthy the'vines look. We shell have an
abundant crop. Now lot me show you the
vines in Mr. Parker's garden. We elan look
at them ,through a great hole in his fence."
Mr. Williams then led harry through the
garden' gate and across the road, to look at
Mr. Parker's pea vines through a hole in the
fence. The be in which they were growing
was near to the . road, so they had no difficulty,
in seeing in it. After looking into the garden
for a few moments, Mr. Williams said—
!'well my son, what do you think of. Mr.
Parker's, pea vines ?",
"Oh, father!" replied the boy, "I never,
saw such poor pens in my life! There aro no
sticks for them to run upon, and the weeds are
nearly as high as thO peas themselves. There
won't be half a crop!"
"Why are they so much worse than ours,
Harry ?"
. "Because they have been left to grow . as
they pleased. I suppose Mr. Parker just,
planted them and never took any care of them
afterward. He hne neither taken out the
weeds,•m:,r helped them to grow right."
"Yes that is just the truth my son. A gar
den will soon be overrun with weeds andbri
ars, if it is not cultivated with the greatest care.
And just hi) it is with the human garden. This
precious garden must be trained and watered,
and kept free from weeds, or it will run to
; waste. Children's minds aro like garden beds
and they must-be carefully, tended, and even
more carefully than 'the choicest plants. If
you, my eon, Were- never to go to soheol,
nor have good seeds of knowledgi3 planted in
your mind, it would,when you become a man,'
resemble, the weed 'covered, neglected bed we
have just now been loolPingat, - histead - ortlie
beautifulone in my garden. Would youlbinit
me right to neglect my garden art Mr. Parker
neglects his?"
"Ob,- no-father; -your - garden is a good-gar
den, but Mr. Parker's is all overrun with
weeds and briars. It won't yield half as much
as yours will."
"Or, my son, do you think I s woulti be right
if I neglected my sodas Mr. Parker neglects
his son, allowing hint to run wild and his
mind' uncultivated, to become ovefgrown with
weeds?" • t Sa

Little• Harry made no roply; bt4 l under
stood pretty clearly what his father tniputt.
"I scud you to school," Mr. Williams oni
tinned. "In order that the grirdeii of your mind

LAFAYETTIS VISIT TO • THE U. S.
In the summer orthis year, (1824) General
Lafayette, accompanibil by his son, Mr. Geo.
Washingtoti Lafayette, and under an invitation
from the President, revisited the U. S. after a
lapse of lorty years..lie was received with un
bounded honor, affection and gratitude by the
Anierioan people. To the survivors of the Re
volution,'it was the return of a brother; to
the now generation, born since that time, it
was the apparition of a historical character,
familiar from the ortole, and combining all
the titles to love, admiration, gratitude,. en
thusiasm, willed' could Oct upon the heart and
the imagination of the young and the ardent.
He vielted every Bt. ad in the Union, doubled
in nunober since, as — tip friend and pupil of
Washington, he-had epilt his blood and lavish
ed his fortune for their independence. His
progress through the States woo a triumphal
procession, each as no Roman ever led up—a
procession not through a city, but over a con
tinent—followed, not by captives iu chains of
iron, but by a nation in the boucle of affection.
TO him it was an unexpected and overpower

quaintance to know whether he could find a
hook to convey him to a hotel. Illustrious

as long as he could be detained: blany were.
the happy nieeting&vrhich he hid with old cam=
rades, survivors, for near a half it century, of
their early hardships and dangers; and most
giateful to his hea . rt it was to see them, so
many of Own, exceptions to the maxim which
denies to the beginnings of revolutions the
goad - fortune to onoltido them, (and of which
maxim his own country had been so• sad an
exemplification,) and to see his old comrades
not only conclude the ono they began, but live
to enjoy its fruits and honors. Three of his
old associates be found ex.Presidonts, (Adams,
Jefferson and Madison,) enjoying the respect
and affection of their country, after having
reached ite.highest honors. Another, and the
last ono that Titne•would admit to the Presi-
Amoy, (Mr, Monroe,) now in the Presidential
chair, and inviting him to revisit tho land of
his adoption: ''any of his early associates
had been in the two House of Congress—many
in the State GO‘ornments, and many more in
all the walks of private life, pfitriarobal sires,
respected for their:characters, i and vonorated
for their patriotic services.. 'lt vas a grateful
spectacle, !a'nd the more impressive from the
calamitous fate which ho had seen attend so
many of the revolutionary pstriots of the 0111
World. But the enthusiasm of the young gen
eration astcnished and excited hins, anti gave
him a now view of himself—a future glimpse
of himself—and such as he would be seen in
after ages. Before then, be' was in the pre
sence of posterity; and in their applause and
admiration he saw his own future place in his
tory; passing down to the latest time as ono
of the most perfect and beautiful characters
whlohouo - of the most eventful periods of the
world had produced. Mr. Clay, as . Speaker of_
the House of Representatives, and the organ
of their congratulations to Lafayette, (When
ho was received - in - the hall Of life Frouse,) very.
felicitously. seized the idea of his present con
frontation with posterity, and adorned and .
amplified it-with the graces of oratory. no
said ;
"The vain wish has been sometimes indulg
ged, that Providence would allow the patriot,
after death, to return to his country, arid to
contemplate the immediate changes which lied
taken place—to view the 'forests felled, the
cities built, the mountains levelled, the canals
cut, the, highways opened, the progrees of the
arts, the advancement of learning, and the in
crease of population. General! you'r present
visit to the United Statef is the realization of
thettonsoling object of that wish hitherto vain.
You aro in the midst of posterity! Every
where•you must be struck with the groat °hail.

since you le'f't us. Even this very city, bear
ing a venerated name, alike endearing to you'
and us, has 'sinee emerged from` the forest
which then Covered its site. In ; one respect
you behold us unaltered, and that isOn the
sentiment of continued devotion to•libt;rti, and
of ardedt nifeetion and profound gratitude to
your departed Srienti, the Father of hietEourt
try, and to your' illustrious associates in the
field and in the cabinet, for thb multiplied
blessings Which surround us, and fot the very

Ile was received in both nausea of Congretis
with equal but the fleuises'did notf s imit'
themselves, to honors; they lakled substanihtr
rewards for long past services and saotifices—.
twaliundreel ti/wand dollars in money, tend

Florida. These , noble grants did not pass
without objection—objection to the priticiple,.•
riot 'to the amount.' The ingratitude of reptib
lies is the theme of tiny declaimer; it requited
Taeitue to say, that gratitude was the death

exhibit an exception to thnt profound remark,
(se they do to so twiny othe'r losattne of .bieto
ry,) sad show a young repalslio that knows
how to• be'grateful without .being-unwise, and
is able to-pay the debt of grntitude without
giving its liberties in discharge of the obliga
Lion. The venerable Mr. Macon, yielding to
no one in love and admiration of Lafayette,
and appreciation of hie services and sacrifices
in the Ameridan •canoe, opposed•the grants in
the Senate, and did, it with the honesty of
purifose and the simplicity of language which
distinguitihed all the acts of his • life. He
said :
"It was with painful reluctance that ho felt
himself obliged to oppose his voles to the pas
sage ciftth'is bill. He admitted. to the full ex
tent claimed for them, the great and meritorl
' ous services of General Lafayette, and he did
not objeot to the precise sum which this pill
proposed to award him; but he objected to the
bill on thieground:.hO considered General
.Lafaiette, to all'intonts and-purposes, having
been, during our revolution, a son adoptadln
to the family, taken into the 'household, nnd
placed, in every ,respect, on the same 'footing
with the other sons of the same family. To
treat him as others were-treated, was all, in
this view of his relation tows, that could be
required, and this had been done. That, Gen.
Lafayette Made groat sacrifices, and spent
much of his money in the serrice'of this coon,
try, (said Mr.-M.) I as - firmly.belleve as 1 do
any other thing under, the. eau,' I have no
doubt that every faculty of hiehmind and body
was (earted in the revolutionary war in de
fe'ned of this cohritry; but this rth.e equally-the
.case _with all-the-sons-of-the'-family. - Many - 1
native Americans spent their nil, made groat
sacrifices, and devoted their lives in the same
Aliso. This was the ground of his objeotion
to this bill, which, he repeated, it was disa-_,
.greeable to him to state, as itohuld be for the
Senate to hear. Ho did not mean to take up
the time of the Senate in . .discussing the mer
iis the bill, or to make any amendment to
it. All admitted that, when huoh things were
Abne,, they should be done with a free hand.—
It was to tho
the
of 'the bill, therefore,
and not to the sum propOsed to be 'given by
it, thatlm objected."
The ardent Mr flayne, of South Carolina,
reporter of the bill in. the Sminte,•replied to
the objections, and . first showed from.history
(not from Lafayette, who would have nothing
to do.with the proposed grant,) his advances,
losses and sacrifices in our 'cane's, lie had ex
pended for the American service, in six years,
from 1777 to 1783, the sum ofwo,oke francs,
i
($140,000)latul under what, '`i..-..rriteflotii . 'i:=- .

.i 3 en oyments
of rank and fottune o and t :tadearinents of
Lis family, to come and serve incur almost
destitute armies, and without pay. ‘lie equip
ped and armed a regiment fqr our service; and
freighted a_vesseLto-us,. load ed -with -arms and
munitions. It was not until the year 1794,
when, almost ruined by the French revolution,
and by his efforts in the cause of liberty, that
he would receive the naked pay, without'inte
rest,of 11 general officer for the Chub he had
served with us.
Ile was entitled to land ns one of the officers
of the revolution, antlll,soo acres-were grant
ed to him, to ho locatedion any of tho'public
lands of the United States. Hie agent located
one thousand acres adjoining the city of 'New
Orleans; and Congress afterwards, not being
informed of the location ; granted the same
ground to the city of New Orleans. His loca
tion was valid, and he •was ,informed; he
refused to adhere to if; Aityixtg-he would have
no contest withhinylertion * Of the American
people, and ordered Alio, looatfo'n to be remov
ed, which was donetc . atut carried upon ground
of little Value—thus giving up what was then
worth $OO,OOO, 'and now $500,000. These
were his moneyed advances, lthnies, and sac
rifices, great in themselves, and of great value
to our cuuSti, but, perhaps, exceeded by the
moral effect of his example in joining us, and
his influence with theling and ministry, which
procured us the allianoo of France.
"The grants w ere , voted:With-great unanimi
ty, and with the general concurrence of the
American people: - -11r. Jefferson was, warmly
for them, giving a reason, in a conversation
with nie, while the grants , were depending,
(for the bill was passed in the Christmas hol
wh en:l-had - gone - to' Virginia, end - Moir
the - opportunity to call upon that great man,)
which showed his regard for liberty abroad as
well as at home, and his farseeing sagacity
into future crentsl, • He said there would be a
change in France, and Lafayette- would be at
the head of it, and ought to be easy and inde
pendent in his circumstances, to berible to•net
efficiently in conducting the movement. This
ho said, to me on'Christmas day, 1824. Bis
year's afterwards this view into futurity was
verified; The old Bourbons had to retire.—
The Duke of •New Orletins, a brave general in
the, republican armee, At the commeniement

COL. TELL, OF AIIIKANIEIAS
We make the following extract from ix sketch
of Col. Archibald 'Yell, .of Arkansas. The
Judge bad taken hie seat for the first time.
The drat ease on the docket was called and
the plaintiff stood ready. Gen. Smoot arose
:or the defendant, and remarked in an Over
bearing tone:
"Our witnesses are absent, and therefore
I demand that the ease be continued until the
next term in the coulee.
"Let the affidavait be Sled, for not till then
can I. entertain a motion for continuance,"
melba mild reply of the Judge.
"Do you doubt my word as to the facts?"
Gee. Smoot exclaimed sharply, andinvolunta
ry raised his huge sword - cane.
"Not: at all," replied the • Judge, With his
blandest smile; "but the law requires that the
facts jtistifying a continuance meet appear on
record, and the court has now, power'to annul
the law * . nor anTwill'see it annulled."
The Judge's calm nod buSiness-like tone and
manner only served to irritate the bully, and
he retorted, shaking his sword otTe' in the di
reotion of the bench.
"Whatever may bo the law; I for one, will
not hear it from the of an Upstart detna
gogue-aud-coward
Judge Yell's blue. eyes shot like lightning;
but he only turned to the clerk and said:—
"Clerk, you will enter a fine of 'fifty dollars
against General Smoot, as 1 see him named on
my docket, for a- gross contempt of court; and
bo sure you issue an immediate execution."
He had hardly communicated the order, when
General Smoot was seen rushing towards him
brarairshing his sword cane, all his-features
writhing in murderous wrath, and as pallid as
a corpeo.
Every glance was fixed on the countenande
of the Judgd, for all wished to know bow he
world brook the comin,g shook of the duellist's
fierce assault. But none, however, could de
tect the slightest change in his appearance.—
His cheek grew neither red nor white, nor a
nerve seemed to tremble; his calm eye survey
ed the advancing foe, with as little sign of
perturbation. as a chemist might sh ow, scruti
nizing the effervescence of some novel mi x-; -
ture. Ho sat perfectly still, with a staff of
painted iron in his right hand.
Sweat ascended the platform, and
ately aimed a tremendous blow with his enor
mous sword cane, full at the head of his foe,
At that blow five hundred hearts shuddered,
and more than a dozen of voices shrieked, for
all expected'to see his victim's skull• shivered
into. atoms. The general astonishment then
may he conceived when they beheld the little
iron staff describe .a quick curve, and the great
sword cans flew from Smoot's fingers and fell
with a loud clatter at the distance of twenty
feet in the hall! The baffled bully uttered a
cry of wrath, wild as teat of some wounded
beast of prey, and snatched his bowie knife
from its sheath, but ere it was poised for the
desperate plunge, the little iron staff cut
another curve, and the big knife followed the
sword cane. then drew a revolving pis
tol, but before he had time to touch the trig
ger his arm was struck powerless by his side.
And then for the' first timf,clid Judge Yell
betray any perceptible emotion. 1 Ile stamped
his foot till the platform shook beneath it, and
shouted in trumpet tones: t
"Mr. Clerk, you will blot this ruffian's name,
as a foul disgrace, from the roll of attorneys.
Mr. Sheriff, take this criminal to jail."
The Jolter Officer sprang to obey 'the man
date, and immediately a scene of confusion en
sued that no pen can describe. The bravoes
and myrmidop friends of General Smoot gath
ered around to obstruct the Sheriff, while ma.
ny of the citizens lent their ald to sustain the
authority of the court,. Monaoes,ycreanis, and
horrid curses, the ring of impinging and cros
sing 'steel, alternate cries of rage and pain, all
commingled with the 'awful discharge of fire
arms, blended together a vivid idea of Tando
inonium. - ,
-= But - throughout the impetupds strife, two
individuals might be observed as leaders in
the whirtivied and,riders.ef_ the storm. - - The
new Judge used his little cane with terrible
efficiency, crippling limbs, yet sparing life.,4"
Bill -Buffon, imitating the clemency of his hon
ored friend, disdaining the use of knife or pis
te!, actually trampled and crushed down all
opposition, roaring at every furious blow—
"this is the way to preserve order in court,"
a sentiment which "he accompanied with peals
of laughter. Injess than two minutes the
party Of the Judge triumphed, the clique of
Gen. Smoot suffered disastious defeat, and the
bully birnseffwas borne away to"prition.

A SHANGHAI IN witounve.
EVery body has his I:trials, and so bas a
Shanghai. There are human ills, and Shang•
hai ills. Man is' born to trouble, and so are
.the Shanghais. ' Human strength will not al
ways guard- against 'misfortune, nor will the
tall propirtions Of a Shanghai shield him al
ways from harm.' We saw this illustrated at
the poultry show, the "fowl convention," at
Van Vectiten Hall yesterday, jet the case of a
long•necked, bandy-legged, hig-bodied, red
combed rooster of the Shanghai family. Tie
was a tall biro, even of his giant ep ecies, and
no body 'knew the fact better then himself.-- ,
lie _was a proad_bird. vaia of_his _proportions,
vain - of - his white plumage,-of the feathers—on
hie big legs, of his groat red comb, proud of
his rough, roaring voice. His coop in which
be and wife, who was quite as vain and
proud as her lord, dwelt, V 7113 barred in front
with round rods, like a lion's cage, and was
covered with slats at the top, between which
he could poke his head and long neck, when
he desired to atretoh and 'take the kinks out
of himself. On either side were 'other birds,
in coops, ranged along eeperately. from the tall
Shanghai only by a very thin deal partition,
while above were others still on a line with the
top of his cage.
The Shanghai, wo sold, was, a proud bird,
and in the fullnesS of his vii;Uity,,ho opened his
great beak and crowed 'ivith the voioe of a
trombone, that went bell Owing along the arches
and out t: rough the roof, and rumbling on the

with spurs like a harpoon, and when-he took
Shanghai by his great rod °dumb,. ad,matio
at him with his armed heels, it was ply the
bars that saved him from wounds and from
death.
To say that Shanghai was astonished, would
do iafinite injustioo to hie emotions. Ho

the "ruddymens," with variations, in the. fol.
lowing style:
"Feller citizens of the community, and Mem
