From Mrs. Colvin's weekly Messenger. Stern winter's storms have now gone by, And blooming1 spring returns, And with her hues of richest dye, Peep through ten thousand forms ! The farmer now his field surveys Throws up his fallow ground The lambkins sport, the zephyr plays, . Diffusing joy around ! The hills are now with verdure crown'd The vallies smile again. The groves with music now resound, The vilet decks the plain. The little bird now tunes his throat, And gaily waibles on, Proclaiming round with mellow note, Uude winter s storms are gone." The flowing streams, fiom fetters freed. Join in the general 6onjr

Roll back their g'aJsome waves with speed, Then gently pass along . Nature a pleasing aspect wears. And seem3, with joy to say,' "Winter is gone and spring appears, I loo will join the lay.' And shall not man his voice employ To swell the grateful song? Shall he not raise a note of joy Among the tuneful throng? Yes, let him sound the highest note, Of gratitude, sublime J And to his God his powers devote, While lasts his youthful prime. LOHENZO. From the Baltimore Minerva . A Chapter on Fools I saw a man some years ago, Who built his house upon The frozen bosom of a lake Beneath a winter's sun. Thought I, that man's a noble fool. Rut a greater fool is he "Who puts his faith in woman's love, And lauds her constancy. I saw a youth once take a spade, And labor all the day, In throwing sunshine in the shade Upon a stack of hay. Thought I, that youth's a nobJe fool, But greater fool is he Who thinks he'ri do his stomach good By drinking constantly. A man, I've often heard it told, When I stood on boy's legs, Once killed a noble goose to get At all her golden eggs .. Thought I, he was a monstrous fcoV But greater fool is he Who stakes his little all for one Chacce in a lottery. 1 saw a maid once put her thumbUpon a red hot coal, To see if it would burn or no. It did, upon my soul ! Thought I, that maid's a noble fool, But greater fool is she, "Who once could think of marrying. So great a fool as me. Mrs. Royall's '-letters from Alabama''' have just issued from the press, a few copies of which have been forwarded to us for sale. We have barely had time to glance over the leaves and discover, we.thiuk, that the letters, though freely written, are in better taste and style than some of her other productions. The following story, for example, is well to!d, and possesses much romance : Winchester Hep. The History or Mrs. Joiscs. Upon my return once from Ohio, I put up at a Mr, Jones's on Kentucky river. In the course of the conversation! observed that a "new county had been established in Ohio, was called Jackson; and not satisfied with this mark of respect, they had called the seat of justice Jackson." Mrs. Jones observed they could not have him too much; and it gave her great pleasure to hear of his happiness and success; that he had been the means once of saving herself and her children from perishing in4the wilderness: Mrs. Jones was the daughter of capt. Arbuckle, of Greenbrier county Va. with whom you must be acquainted, though you may not be with the history of his daughter, as you are too young. Pier history contains a most surprising train of incidents, and superior to any novel. The story is this: Mr. Arbuckle had several handsome and sensible daughters. One of these was addressed by a Mr. Jones, and a mutual and deep rooted affection grew up between them; but Capt. A. opposed their union, and forbade Jones his house; and finally through persuasion and force compelled his daughter to marry the son of Captain Robertson, a near neighbor of mine. Upon this, Jonc3 abandoned the country, and I never heard of him from that day till the night of which I am now speaking. As soon as Robertson married the girl, he removed with her to Natchez, and I heard no more of them. I did see a publication in the news papers of a fe male travelling through the Indian nation without protection, and that she, and six children entered the State of Kentucky, nearly famished. Mrs. Jones was the woman! Her own narrative follows: "J was forced to marry Mr. Robertson and be sniserable, or marry Mr. Jones, and render my father miserable; I preferred the former. Ail places being alike to me, after this sacrifice, I accompanied my husband to Natchez. We had received a handsome beginning from both our fathers, and were for some time prosperous. But my husband, at length fell in with bad company, and took to gambling and drinking, and spent the whole cf his property. Meantime we had seven children, which I maintained by my own labor. Finally, my husband took sick, and after lingering sometime,

died , and every thing I had was seized and sold by his creditor?, with the exception of four horses, which I concealed with a view of conveying my children and myself to my father in Virginia. I hired a man to go with me, and departed early one night, and never stopped til) 1 got over the boundary line beween the white people and (he Indians. 1 had but 8 dollars and a bushel of meal for myself and

cnildren; but I was so anxious to get from the white-people, whom I expected would pursue me, that I travelled without ceasing or rest, till the second day about ten o'clock, when 1 turned out my horses to feed on the pea vine, and began to prepare bread for my children. Several of them being tick when I left Natchez, were stretched upon the ground while I was preparing food, when, behold, three white men whom 1 knew, appeared in sight, having pursued me. They rode towards the horses, as if to surround and take them by force, when I flew between them and the horses, and told them thev should not lay hands on them. I acknowledged I owed money in Natchez, which I honestly intended to pay when I reached my father's. You have deprived me of all but the horses, and without them 1 cannot reach my father's. I am out of your jurisdiction; I am on Indian ground, and if you levy your process on my property, you do it at your peril. You know the penalty, and so do I, and I will prosecute you at every haz lrd. I had been particular enough to learn by certain signs the line, and I knew I was out of their power. They endeavored to frighten me out of the horses, and but finding it in vain, they returned. "I pursued my journey all that night and next day, until evening, when coming to a deep hollow, over which there was a bridge, I drove the horses over and after taking a slight supper, 1 laid down on the bridge, with a view of guarding the horses. The man who was with me, an old silly sort of a man, had disappeared sometime before I laid down. I laid awake suspecting some treachery. The moon shone quite bright. The old man had doubtless, betrayed me to the same men, who as I expected, pursued me. When I missed the man I concluded I was undone, and gave way to despair, for, though I saw no possibility of the horses crossing the gully, except by the bridge, I was apprehensive some place was known to my guide, or the men. As I laid watching with an aching heart, about midnight I perceived the horses moving slowly towards the bridge and the same men, with the traitor, pursuing them silently. When the horses drew near the bridge, I jumped up and frightened them back and the men disappeared. They doubtless, expected I was asleep, and never dreamed of my securing the bridge, I never saw the men afterwards. I continued my journey, now and then buying a scanty supply of provision for ourselves and horses Irom the Indian?. These were the Choctaws, and were very friendly. But it was at a season of the year when provisions were scarce. "I travelled but slow, as my chil dren were all sick, except one. One of the children was so ill that I had to carry it in my lap, and though I expected to lose some of them, 1 strove to set to the white settlement if possible. "The ninth day, as I was riding slowly along, I met a gentleman and his servant. He stopped and spoke very kindly to me, and enquired very particularly into the cause of my travelling in the wilderness; and asked me how much money 1 had? 1 informed him I had but two dollars, at the same time repealing the cause of myjournev. He approved my undertaking, and pulling out his purse, gave me forty dollars! He told me to keep a good heart, and I would surmount all my difficulties; said he was sorry he was going the opposite way. He spoke kindly to all the children, and went on. ll was general Jackson The day after I left him, as I stopped at an Indian house, I discovered a gentleman who appeared to be sick, lie had been resting awhile, and finding I was going the same way, he had his horse prepared and went on with me. He was verv feeble, and was followed by a mule which was heavily laden with specie. He had been taken sick on the road. We travelled together very slow, until the third day, when he informed me he could go no farther. As 1 had some knowh?dge of medicine, and not wishing to travel without his company, I placed him in an Indian cabin, and having medicine with me, left by the physician when my husband died, I administered it to him. In three days, during which I constantly attended him, he found himself well enough to venture on; and my children too, being better we proceeded with greater celerity than before. We did not make as much pro gress as we could have wished owing to the want of grain for our horses. He was well armed but was, nevertheless, timorous nor was I less so.

The following will prove that our fears were not groundless: As we were lying down one night, all asleep but myselfj (I never s'ept at night,) my eye3 being fixed upon the road, watching both ways, 1 saw a person walking up the road. 1 turned to the tent where the gentleman slept, (I always stretched a blanket over him at night,) and awoke him, but as I called to him, I saw two more men in the other end of the road, also walking towards us. Their coming in this manner, evidently showed their design, which was to rob the gentleman. He seized a pistol and called out to the men to stand upon this, all three ran, and he tired after them. They never appeared after this, although we watched for them the whole of that night. "In the course of our conversation, I mentioned the money given me by gen. Jackson; and as wej were now drawing mar Kentucky, and were soon to part, he said he must give me something before we separated. Taking a fancy to one of my horses, he enquired of me if I would dispose of it, that if I would, he would give me the full value and 1 could send him the horse when I arrived at home. 1 agreed to this, and he paid me the money, and we parted next morning. 4iI struggled with sickness and hardships for the sake of my children, until I arrived in Kentucky, when, having less cause to exert my fortitude, I sunk upon a sickbed where I lay until writing to my father, he sent for me; and four months after leaving Natchez, we arrived, all safe, in Greenbrier!" When Mrs. Jones arrived at home, her father gave her, by way of compensation, one of those fine tracts of land on the Kenawha river, below the Washington lands. Meantime Jones, who was still unmarried, wandered about the western frontier, furring, Scc. and by sundry speculations, had collected a considerable sum of money; and the British on their invasion of New Orleans, sending word to the citizens of Louisville, that they would dine with them the next day! many of the inhabitants became panic struck, and sold their possessions for a mere trifle. Jones became one of the purchasers,

and grew, suddenly, rich. He was offered, I thiiik, and received, one hundred per cent, fur a part of the property, next day, reserving the beat for himself. When Jones heard of Mrs. Robert son's return, and death of her husband, he hastened to seek her, and still retaining his partiality for her, and she for him, they were married. She had been married about two years when 1 was at her house, and was in the act of packing up to remove to Louisville, where a splendid house and every thing that heart could wish was ready to receive her. I should have been much pleased to have seen Jones but he was absent from hoim?. I however saw a very handsome child, better than a year old, the fruits of their union. Let any of your novel writers beat this! Mrs. Jones's children were stout, and the eldest was nearly a woman grown. Brevity. Short ppeeches, short stories, short courtships; a wise man will always be short in these things. 1 never knew a short sermon that was not liked for it a short story that had more pith in it or a short courtship that was not more fortunate than a long one. I showed a lad, who had been running after his sweetheart two years, old Jeremiah's long purse which measures half a yard, and had but a single sixpence at the bottom he borrowed it to take down to Charlotte, and they both took a hint from it and got married at once. Tell all the story tellers and speechmakers, tell all manner of good people, how pleasant a thing it is to be short. Four Priests, the first u Roman Catholic, the second an Episcopal, the 3d a Presbyterian, 8c the 4th a Babtist, met to dine upon a fish. Without ceremony the Roman Catholic helped himself to one third of the fish comprehending the head, and gravely exclaimed, 'The Pope is the head of the church.' The Episcopalian next took another third of the fish, comprehending the tail, ob serving, the 'end crowns the work.'

The Pretbyteiian next helped himself j Cu a continuance of support from an enterto the remainder, exclaiming, 'Truth rmsim; community.

lies between extremes.' The modest Bublist being left without any thing to eat, took up a dish of drawn butter,and splashed it over his companions, vociferating, 'I babtize you.' What are you about! you black rascal? Twice you have roused me from a sound sleep to tell me that breakfast is ready, and now you've awoke me by attempting to pull clFthe bed clothes! What do you mean. Why, if yuu is'nt goang to get up, I mus hab the sheet any how, 'case dey'r waitain fordeUble clof. Married In New York, Ym. Wearer Esq. ofYa. to Kliza Woodman.
