There 'a t Iaoguage (hat's mute, there's a si

lence. that speaks, There's a something that cannot be told;

There are words that can only be read on the

cheeks, And thoughts but the eyes can unfold. There's a-look so expressive, so timid, so kind, 60 conscious, so cyiick to impart, Tbo' dumb, in an instant, it apaaks out the mind, And strikes, in an instant, the heart. Thir eloquent silence, this converse of soul, Ii vain we attempt to suppress; Worn prompt it appears from the visb of control. More apt the fond truth to express. And oh! the delight 00 the features thst sbioe, The raptures ihe bosom that roelt, When, blest with each other, this converse divine 1,9 mutually spoken and felt.

SIR WILLIAM WALLACE. During the brief career of the cele

Tbrated Sir William Wallace, and when

This arms had for a time expelled the English invaders from his native country, he is said to have undertaken a voyage to France, with a small band of trusty friends, to try what his presence (for he wa s respected through all the countries for his prowess,) might do to induce the French monarch to send to Scotland a bod y of auxiliary forces or other assistant :e, to aid the Scots in regaining their ind jpendence. 'If he Scottish champion was on board a small vessel, and steering for the port of Dieppe, when a sail appeared in the disi'ance", which the marines regarded witli doubt and apprehension and at last with confusion and dismay. Wallace demanded to know what was the

causo of their alarm. The captain of

the si tip informed him, that the tall ves

sel w Inch was bearing down, with the purpose of boarding that which he com

mand d, was the ship of a celebrated family monuments. Another account is

steer, as that, while the vessel had the appearance of attempting to fly, he should in fact permit the Red Rover to come up with them and do his worst. Wallace himself then lay down on the deck, that nothing might be seen which could intimate any purpose of resistance. In a quarter of an hour De Longueville's vessel ran on board that of the Champion, and the Red Rover casting out grapolinff irons to make sure of his prize,

I iumped on the deck in complete armour, - - - . 1 A Til.

followed nynis men wno gave a terriDie shout, as if the victory had been already

secured. But the armed bcots started up at once, and the rover found himself unexpectedly engaged with men accus

tomed to consider victory secure when they were only opposed as one to two or

three. Wallace himself rushed on the

pirate captain, and a dreadful strife be-1

gan betwixt them with such fury, that the others suspended their own battle to look, on, and seemed by common consent

to refer the issue of the strife to the fate

of the combat between the two chiefs.

The pirate fought as well as man could

do; but Wallace's strength was beond that of ordinary mortals. He dashed the sword from the rovers hand, and placed him in such peril, that to avoid being cut down, he was fain to close with the Scottish Champion, in hopes of over powering him in the grapple. In this he also failed. They tell on the deck, locked in each others arms, but the Frenchman fell undermost; and Wallace, fixing his grasp on his gorget compressed it so closely, notwithstanding it was made of the finest of Fteel, that the blood gushed from his - eyes, nose and mouth, and he was only able to ask for quarters by signs. His men threw down their weapons and begged for mercy, when they saw their leader so severely handled. The victor granted them all their lives, but took p ssession of their vessel and detained them prisoners. When he came in sight of the French harbour, Wallace alarmed the place by displaying the rover's colours, as if Do Longueviile was coming to pillage the town. The hells were rung backward

horns were blown, and the citizens

were hurrying to arms, when the scene

changed. The Scottish Lion on his

shield of gold was raised above the pira tical flag, and announced that the Champion of Scotland was approaching like the falcon with his prey in his clutch. He landed with his prisoner, and carried him to the court of F ranee, where at Wallace's request, the robberies which the pirate had committed were forgiven, and the king even confered the honor of Knighthood on Sir Thomas De Longueviile, and offered to take him into service. But the rover had contracted such a friendship for his generous victor, that he insisted on uniting his for tunes with those of Wallace, with whom he returned to Scotland, and fought bv his side in many a bloody battle, where the prowess of sir Thomas De Longueviile was remarked as inferior to that of none save his heroic conquerer. His fate was more fortunate than that of his patron. Being distinguished by the beauty as well as strength of his person, he- rendered himself acceptable to a young lady, heiress of the ancient family of Ciiarteris, that she chose him for her husband, bestowing on him with her hand the domains annexed to- it. Their descendants took the name of Cha-eris as connecting themselves with the maternal ancestors, the ancient proprietors

of the property, though the name of

1 nomas De Longueviile was equally honored amongst them; and the large two handed sword with which he moved

the ranks of war, is still preserved in the

"BLUE MONDAY." Perhaps it is not generally known thai the reason why the shoemakers do not work on Monday, originated in the following tradition. While Oliver Crom well lay encamped at Perth, he received the intelligence of the death, by self-destruction, of John Monday, one of his mot z- alous and active partisans, who lived at a village which now bears hi? name a little to the north of Darnhead. Out of re.-pect to the memory of honest John, the Lord Protector is:-ud a proclamation through Perth, wherein he offered a reward to the person who should compose the best lines on the death of Monday. Among the claims for the promised reward vvas a worthy son of Sr. Crispin, belonging to the "Fair City," who verbatim, repeated the following lines: "Blessed be tbe Sabbath day, And cursed be worldly pelf; Tuesday will begin the wetk. Since Monday's hanged himself." Cromwell was so well pleased with this jeu d"1 esprit of the Soutei's that the reward was not only awarded hirn, but lie also ordered that the shoemakers

should have henceforth the Monday of

An editor in the country thinks it quite impudent in any of the corps to get married "Poh!" says he "what the devil has an editor to do with a wife," "writing for glory, and printing on trust," they ought to be ashamed of themselves, to indulge in any such luxuries.

either these articles, both continue scarce and in demand at our quotations. Our last prices current, received from the eastern cities, docs not note anv essential change in the prices of Flour. Our last advices from New Orleans are up to the 23d ult. from a letter of that date we quote the following. "At present the quantity of produce here is limited, and principallv used for home consumption: the demand for export being light. We qoo'e Flour at 5 00 to 5 50: Pork mess inspected 13 00, prime 11 00 (o 12, scarce: Whiskey 23 1-2 to 24. These prices will not be maintained when the navigation is freely opened. Louisiana sugars are in fair demand on plantations at 6 1-2 to 6 3-4 cash; Molasses, price not settled, many planters ask 25 cents." P. S. Since the above was in type, we have received intelligence of the New Orlearns market up to the 2d i;st. per Montezuma. We quote from a letter dated 29th November; "Pork, Lard and Flour are very scarce and high, yet from the recent rise in the Ohio, we do not think the present prices will be maintained. Flour has been sold to-day at 8,00: Prime pork uninsepcted 11,00." Also from another dated December 2. "Flour isnow selling at 7 50 readily: Whiskey 23 to 23 1-2 in demand." S. E.

Then calling together some ten rr
