From the Memphis Gazette. ON HOPE. Horn, with its potent solacing?, calms our sortovv?, and sooths our woes, with a promise of a better hereafter. Hope is the precious and list resource, which Providence afibrds us in our disappointments and calamities. Man lives on desires, occupation and hope. He who has nothing to desire, nothing to do, or nothing to hope for, must in my opinion be the most wretched and miserable of beings. ' Hope elevates our courage, and actually augments our strength, renders our daily avocations delightful, cheers the soul and imparts elasticity to the Fpirit, itdevelops our talents, and causes us to discover resources, by which we may free ourselves from the evils which we too often experience, and secure the accomplishment of enjoyment by the anticipation or the good things which we wish fur. We should not, however, abuse tha benefit of hope, by abandoning ourselves entirely to it, with a recklessness about the means to obtain what wo so anxiously desire. Wo should, on the contrary, remember that if Providence resemble a tender and affectionate mother, who soothes and nourishes her little children, we like thoso children, should not fail to seek after that nourishment. We too often, indeed, suffer ourselves to loso courage in cur misfortunes, and give ourselves up to useless repining?, without making any uso of the noble energies of our reason, or once reflecting that misfortunes are frequently the consequences of our own lisilessness and improvidence. For men of afpusillanimous disposition, hope is a flattering illusion, which perpetuates their miseries with an indiscreet confidence. They appear to look for miracles in their favor, and forget that, according to the immutable order of things, they must concur towards the attainment of theirjown happiness. Ou the other hand, many hope for what is not in their power to obtain, which, if obtained would actually render them miserable; but their ambitious spirits urge them on to disregard what they should seek after, and run in pursuit of vain phantoms whoso delusive splendor attracts them. Ever wandering from project to project, they pass their lives in a perpetual illusion, and are always seduced by appearances which make thctn lose sight of every thing real. Others, tormented by their own natural inquietudes, and transported by their wild imaginations, liavc hardly reached the goal to which they were lending, before they lengthen their view, and the prospect which at first circumscribed or bounded their desires, enlarges and expands before them, so that they are continually in the chace.. How many do wc sec, inflated by the smallest praise, feed themselves with vain hopes, in their delirium, become entirely incapable of judging for themselves, and are led on by those vile chuckling sycophants. Hope, when kepi within proper bounds, lavishes on us tho most valuable favors; she is our faithful companion, and in circumstances the most difficult, reanimates our spirits and inspires our bosoms with a courage which renders us superior to ourselves r. , 1 t 1 .-II i" uiuuium, since uappinuss 13 essentially 7 i t ....... ,j , ...... . ,,,.v UI1U juou-.v-j ..v, vaimuk ihjjjc for naught like happiness, unless we be virtuousand just. This conviction has called forth the following rcmark ofa wise man: "If you would obtain the happiness you so much desire and hope for in vain, consign the past to oblivion, entrust the future to .1 i pr, ., i tho wisdom of 1 rovidcnce and put the present under the direction of virtue." AMICUS. From the New York Transcript. TAR AND FEATHERS REVENGED. Just before the Lroafc.n n, of ib U!,.ii. a man by tho name of DiSon, belonging to Biilerica, Mass. was tarred and feathered in Boston, by the British soldiers, under thc orders of Lieutenant

. . . ... . . . -i.iv

Colonel Nesbit. Thc British ofiicers wished to prevent the Americans from purchasing guns, and in order to furnish an opportunity to inlhct punishment, and to raise occasion for a serious quarrel, a soldier was ordered to offer the countryman an old rusty musket. Ditson caught at tho bait, and purchased the gun for three dollars. He was thereupon seized, and after being confined in the guard house all night, was slript entirely naked, and covered with tar and feathers, and in that condition paraded through the streets of Boston. The Yankees, however, beuan to collect in rrrnat nmn- ' c - . hers, and the military fearing for their own safety, uistntsscu uie man ana retreated to their barracks. 1 hu3 far the incident is related by a cotcmporary historian. What follows we have from the lips of the old continental himself.

Ditson, by the aid of soap and warm water, got tid cfhis feathery coat; but the idea of tho insult clung tuhirt mind, burning deeper and deeper like the shut of Nessus.

I could'nt help exclaiming ,1 told you Pd have my revenge I1 Ilatf a dozen shots were fired into the tree but they were fired at random, for I was well secured in the boughs, and only two bullets went through my hat. My bosom felt lightened as soon as the officer fell. Tho tar seemed, as it were, to loosen from my skin, and I felt fifty pcr cent, better. But still I had not comnleted tnv rpvpnnn The tar hid not yet all dropped off. It was there still, in imagination, and the feathers clung to it. The British would make njighting-cGck of mo, and I was determined they should feel tho full length of mv spurs." Ditson was again present at the battle of Bunker Hill; where he had an opportunity of using the old musket to still greater advantage than at the battle of Lexington. Reserving his fire agreeably to the mode enjoined by Putnam until he could see the enemies' eyes, he brought down his man at eveiy shot; and several more, whose countenances he recollected, as having belonged to those engaged in the tarring and feathering scrape fell victims to the strength of his memory, the accuracy of his aim, 60 the sure fire of his insty old piece. He was the last to leave the ditch; and whr-n his powder and ball were expended, he fought like a tiger with the butt of his musket ; and r.s bedashed it into the scull of two or three of the "r? gMara" in quick succession, he exclaimed, "That's to pay for the tar and feathers'.1' He was at last wounded, and was with difficulty brought off' by his companions. He suffered much in consequence; "but," ns he used to exclaim in after years, "I did'nt mind that; for I had my revenger He recovered from his wound, and fought through the war; and although naturally brave ami attached to his country, his courage and his patriotism were not a little stimulated by the remembrance of the tar and feathers.

Then as his eye gleamed at tho recollection of the never-to-be-forgotten insult, he would exclaim. "it was all owing to tho tar and feathers. But I had my revenge!"

At the uuuaingoi me lower ot IJauel, brick was invented. ith this material n.lnnn. rmr harrlw clambered up to heaven. But brick was a mere imitation and a poor one too of the materials of which mountains are built by nature. Yet beyond the simple invention of brick, not a step was made in that species of discovery, till the article called Roman cement was concocted. This bore the bell away for a time, but it did not set the world on fire. At last a veritable Yankee thought and thought on the subject. What was the result! It isoneof the most ingenious inventions in the manufacture of rocks that ever yet has appeared. Parker, the inventor, is entitled to a little immortality. He will receive it, too. The other evening we were a wanderer near Washington square in search of the Philosopher's stone, when a gentleman said, "Come along; I will show you something." Wo went, nothing loth. He carried us to the premises of the American Cement Company, in Amos street. Here we ; saw a beautiful Grecian temple in minature, built entirely of one stone of Parker's cement: columns, architrave, pediment, plinth, and entablature, were all in perfect order. Around were ranged in various forms cisterns made of the same materials. We struck one of them that was empty. It sounded hke a piece of metal. We learned that tii "oie,.I,as a sewer to the North river, entirely bui t of tins cement.

Directly, Martin one of the candidates V, house of Representative?, a warm Crittenden man, and afterwards elected mounted the barrel. 1 assure the reader that he may here as much oratory in the West on a stump, as in the east in a Court House, or in old Fanueil itself. The impression of oddity soon wears off; and I am inclined to believe the Western manner of electioneering is to tho full as proper, and more honest and open-handed than the silent canvassing in the East. Martin is a lawyer, who had quit brickmakng fot brief-making and special pleading. Ho isa man of strong natural good sense, and a sarcastic and satirical humor, which tells well in a candidate. His speech was about half an hour long; and ho was succeeded by Judge Bates, a man of great talent, a polished writer, full of classic lore, but no speaker. When he was on the bench in Arkansas, a lawyeralso formerly a Judge, named Hall, was in the habit of interlarding his speeches at the bar with frequent Latin quotations. In one cause, particularly, ho was so verv nrrr..a of his learning, so much so, that when Bates delivered the opinion of the Court, he did it off-hand in Latin. Hall listened, but only knowing a few quotations learned from law books, he was compelled to the great amusement of the Bar and the spectators, to require of the Judge to translate his opinion into English. Bates was succeeded by three other candidates, two of whom were ptrinera and the third a lawyer the latter by far the weaLnt nf !t I h peeled a display of bombast and noise, and was ugrecaoiy surprised oy good strong, sense, keen satire, and entire freedom fiom violence and affectaion in all the-speeches. I was still belter pleased when I afterwards saw Ciiltendcti and Sevier tho rival candidate for Congress meet on the stump. Robert Crittenden issincc dead. Ho was a brother of John J. Crittenden, senator from Kentucky, and is universally allowed to havebeen a more talented man than either of his brothers. I have listened to him frequently, since then, and I esteem him one of tho most eloquent men I ever heard. His voice was full and rich, his language copious, strong, and yet brilliant ; and he iacujiuu equuny m pathos and irony. New England Magazine. Look well ut your Fires. The fidhiti-inr .vr1 lent rules were circulated in Boston, a quarter of a century since, in the form of a printed handbill, and put into public rooms as a constant monitor, to guard against the danger of fire. It may do some good, bul can do no harm, to republished it at this time. I. Remember tli3t fire is a good. servant, but a bad master: It cannot take care of itself; and your personal interests as well nsyour duty to the public requires that you take caro'of it. 2. When you are about to leave your fire at stated times, make your calculations before hand to have no moru fire than you can dispose of with safety. II. Never leave one stick of wood upon another partly burnt. 4. Never leave a stick partly burnt standing in the corner. 5. Examine well your brush after sweeping a hearth, especially at night. 0. Never allow hot ashes to sland in a wooden vessel. 7. Never leave paper or linen near your fire. 8. Never read in bed by candlelight. 0. After all precautions, remember that an inhabited building is liable lo destruction by fire. Be prepared for any emergency. Keep your water bucko's filled. When a fire has begun, sulfer it not to be increased by a needless current of air from the door and windows. 10. Should the fire have made such progress :s to prevent your escape by a staircase, and should the distance bo too great to leap from a window, endeavor lo descent! by tho help of your bed cord, or by tying your bed clothes together. It would be well to keep a ropa in your chambers for this very purpose. 11. If safety does not appear probable in ibis way, wrap yourself up in a blanket, hold your breath, and rush through the flames. If water be at hand, first wet the blanket. It would be well on the family's retiring to bed to have all the insido doors of the house closed, that in case of fire in ono apartment, it may be confined there, and not communicate immediately with other p;)rts of the building.
