Noble Sentiment.-- This is an agreeable world after all. If we would only bring ourselves to look at the objects that surround us in their true light, we should see beauty where before we could hear nothing but discord. To be sure there is a great deal of anxiety and vexation to meet; we cannot expect to sail upon a summer coast forever; yet if we preserve a calm and steady hand, we can so trim our sails and manage our helm as to avoid the quick sands, and weather the storm that threatens shipwreck. We are members of one great family; we are travelling the same road and shall arrive at the same goal. We breathe the same air, are subject to the same bounty, and we shall lie down on the bosom of our common mother. It is not becoming then that brother should hate brother--it is not proper that friend should deceive friend --it is not right that neighbor should injure neighbor. We pity the man who can harbor enmity against his fellow, he loses half the enjoyment of life--he embitters his own existence. Let us tear from our eyes the colored medium that invests every thing with the green hue of jealousy and suspicion. Turn a deaf ear to the tale of scandal, breathe the spirit of charity from our hearts--let the rich gush ol human kindness swell up as a fountain, so that the 'golden age' will become no fiction, and-the blessed bloom in more than 'Hesperian beauty.' Anecdote.--A pleasant and true story is related of a worthy deacon of a Church, in a thriving city at the east, who was applied to by a person for admission to the fold. The deacon, who was somewhat doubtful in regard to the piety and probity cf the applicant, replied, after some hesitation, "My dear sir, I am really sorry, but our Church is full." Activity.--Don't be discouraged, if you are unfortunate, and are lying flat on your back. Rise, stand erect, and persevere in something else. Fall again, if you can't do better, but never yield to despondency. As fast as you fall, spring to your feet again, and there will always be hope. Lie still, lament that you are in the ditch, and you but cause rejoicing among your enemies, and no one will render you assistance. Dig out, work hard, persevere with a determination to earn a comfortable living, and you shall have it. Scores will fly to your assistance, who would help to cover you with reproaches, when whining and lamenting over your misfortunes. The whole secret of success in life is activity. To action, to action, and you will never see the day that you will need assistance which will not be rendered in some shape or another. Activity is life of man: it makes him for this world, to say nothing of the world to come.

Old United States Flag.--The flag was thirteen stripes, red and white, with a rattle snake extended, mouth open and sting out, towards the outer folds of the flag--the tail just touching the staff, as if springing on a foe, under the snake the following words:--"Don't tread on me." There was no field of blue or white, or stars, but simply as above stated and it was that very Flag while floating from the main royal of the frigate Alliance under the gallant Paul Jones, that dashed through a British fleet of twenty-one sail of the line in the North Sea, the intrepid Jones delivering his starboard and larboard broadsides, under a ten knot breeze into the Admirable, and receiving the fire of the whole fleet as he passed, and under full chase of the formidable foe, arrived in safety at Brest. A thousand good fellows have been disappointed in their love, and a thousand more will be disappointed before the world comes to an end. But it's well to bear it as we should bear every thing else, with patience and true philosophy. We should dislike terribly, however, to have our philosophy tested on such an occasion. To revel for a time in the light of a bright eye, to enjoy the pleasant company and social conversation of a noble hearted intellectual woman, to build up a magnificent temple of hope and passionate enthusiasm, its summit kissing the golden clouds of heaven, and its every chamber crowded with the gay dreams, and sunny expectations of self-deceived fancy; and then, in a second of time, to see it resolved into all its original elements of chaos and nothingness, is in truth enough to dash one's feelings with dismal dolefulness. But as to killing ourself, as a common sense philosopher we beg to be excused. Our time is little enough for us to do all the objects we expect to do. We therefore object to dying for love: and hope no sensible man will follow Mr. Hinchley's bad example. Franklin Review, DEBT OF TEXAS.--A writer in the Houston Star calculates that the debt of Texas amounts to 100 dolls. per head for every man, woman or child in the Republic .

MAXIMS OF BISHOP MIDDILE-TON. Maintain dignity without the appearance of pride. Persevere against discouragements. Keep your temper. Be punctual and methodical in business, and never procrastinate. Preserve self-possession, and do not be talked out of conviction. Never be in a hurry. Raither set than follow example. Rise early and be an economist of time. Practice strict temperance. Manner is something with everybody, and everything with some. Be guarded in discourse, attentive, and slow to speak. Never acquiesce in immoral or pernicious opinions. Be not forward to assign reasons to those who have no right to ask. Think nothing in conduct unimportant and indifferent. In all your transactions, remember the final account.

THE BIBLE.--There are in protestant countries more than 25,000 associations, whose direct object is the translation and circulation of the sacred volume. Since 1804, 25,000,000 copies or portions of the Scriptures have been put in circulation. The translating already made in 164 different languages, if sufficiently circulated, will give them to 175,000,000 of the mankind. The Scriptures may now be offered to three-fourths of the human family. During three hundred and fifty years previous to 1800, they were trans!ated into only 67 languages and dialects. In 42 years since they have been translated in 97. DESCENDANTS OF PATRICK HENRY.--The daughter of Patrick Henry, who married Robert Campbell, (a brother of the English poet,) still survives, as we learn by Friday's National intelligencer, in Virginia, "not unmarked with some of the paternal accomplishments which man infested themselves in that race in more than one generation, singularly among the female descendants." The same paper adds--"Another of Mr. Henry's daughters, Mrs. Fountain, was reputed to possess a natural eloquence not unlike her father's. The same family shone out singularly, too, in the youngest of the great orator's sisters, Elizabeth, the wife of General Campbell, the hero of King's Mountain From the only child borne by the lady to Gen. Campbell (at least the only one that lived beyond childhood) is sprung the Hon. William Campbell Preston, of South Carolina. "We chance to know that, in a youthful visit of this latter gentlemen to Europe in 1819 '20, he was received by the poet as of double relationship to him both through the Campbells and Henrys, and that through him, in a subsequent residence in Scotland, he was introduced to the kindness, and hospitality of Walter Scott, Mrs. Grant of Laggan, Mr. Jeffrey, and other celebrites (to borrow a French term) of Edinburgh." NO SOUL NO PAIN.- The Rev. James Armstrong preached at Harmony, near the Wabash, when a doctor at that place, a professed deist or infidel, called on his associates to accompany him while he attacked the methodist, as he said. At first he asked Mr. Armstrong "if he followed preaching to save souls?'' who answered in the affirmative. He then asked Mr. Armstrong "if he ever saw a soul?" "No." "If he ever heard a soul?" "No." "If he ever smelt a soul?" "No." "If he ever tasted a soul?"--"No." "If he ever felt a soul?" "Yes, thank God," said Mr. Armstrong.--"Well, said the doctor, "there are four of the five senses against one to evidence there is no soul!" Mr. Armstrong then asked the gentleman if he was a doctor of Medicine?" and he was also answered in the affirmative. He then asked the doctor if he ever saw a pain?" "No." "If he ever heard a pain?" "No." "If he ever tasted a pain?" "No." "If he ever smelt a pain?" "No." "If he ev- er felt a pain?" "Yes." Mr. Armstrong then said, "There are also four senses against one to evidence that there is no pain; and yet, sir, you know there is a pain, and I know there is a soul." The doctor appeared confounded and walked off. A humorous fellow, a carpenter, being summoned as a witness on a trial for an assault; one of the counsel, who was very much given to brow beat the evidence, asked him what distance he was from the parties when he saw the defendant strike the plaintiff? The carpenter answered, just four feet five inches and a half. 'Pray thee fellow ' says the counsel, 'how is it possible you can be so very exact as to distance?' 'I thought,' says the carpenter, 'that some fool or other might ask me, so I measured it.'

A DEAD BODY TRACED BY QUICK-SILVER.--We copy the following from the Staffordshire Mercury: --An inquest was held on Monday, the 15th of June, before G. Hinchlide, Esq., coroner, at the house of Mr. Thomas Sower, Sun Inn, Brockmoor, on the body of Jane Webb, aged six years, who was found drowned in the canal near Mr. Firmstone's works at the Ley Colliery. It appears that she was sent with her sister's breakfast to the pit, about half past eight in the morning, and on her return slipped into the water.--Nothing more was heard of her until the afternoon, when they began to drag the canal for the body, and were about giving it up, when a young woman, who was standing by, stated if they would get a loaf of bread, and put some quicksilver into it, it would float to the body, if it was in the water. The young woman insisted she had seen it tried and proved before; the loaf and quicksilver were procured and thrown into the water, and much to the astonishment of all, the loaf floated to a certain spot, turned round several times, and remained. What is more extraordinary, beneath the spot occupied by the loaf, the body of the child was found.

GRAHAM'S AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE, for 1845, will commence a New Volume, December 10th, 1844, with the January number. Its long and universally successful career, from its commencement until the present time, when it has a circulation exceeding by thousands any other Magazine in this country, is perhaps as good an evidence of its great and increasing merit as the publisher has it in his power to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no assurances are necessary of his determination to maintain its present ascendency over all the rival periodicals of the country. The engagement, permanently, during the past year, of such men as Bryant, Cooper, Paulding, Dana, Longfellow, Hoffman, Neal, Mancur, etc., of high reputation in the literary world, as regular contributors, in addition to a previous list, embracing the first names in the nation, is a sufficient guarantee that the work will continue to be the principal medium of communication between the best Authors and the Public. Graham's Magazine has been from its establishment, more than any other, the favorite periodical of the people of the United States. There is no Magazine abroad that presents any thing like such an array of eminent writers as James Fenimore Cooper, W. C. Bryant, Hon. James K. Paulding, R. H. Dana, H.W. Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, J. C. Neal, Henry W. Herbert, James Russell Lowell, Charles Fenno Hoffman, Hon. R. T. Conrad, IL T. Tuckerman, Alfred B. Street, etc. Mrs. Amelia B. Welby, Miss Sedgwick, Mrs.Sigourney, Mrs. Mary Clavers, Mrs. Ann S.Stephens, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Embury, Mrs. Seba Smith, Mrs. Annan, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Pierson, Mrs. Worthington, Miss Rand, Miss Hervey, and others. Many names are necessarily omitted for want of space. While the most able writers of the country are engaged as permanent contributors to Graham's Magazine, the Arts are not overlooked. The most accomplished American Artists employ their genius for our subscribers. The most elegant engravings that have ever appeared in America, have been given to the public in Graham's Magazine. VARIETY OF MAGNIFICENT ENGRAVINGS. No magazine in the world has presented so great a variety of elegant engravings to its subscribers as Graham's. Every branch of art is brought into requisition, and every novelty in Scenery, or incident in American History, that can interest or instruct the reader, is seized upon by the artists in our employ. Among the styles to be put fourth in our new volume, for 1845; we will enumerate tho following: AMERICAN BATTLE-GROUNDS. Giving correct pictures, taken on the spot, of the places in which the most remarkable Battles have been fought. These engravings will be of the highest order of art; and we may mention, that in order to ensure a permanency in the elegance for which these designs have already become celebrated, we have engaged Mr. Smillie for three years on American Scenes and Incidents. Premium Pictures and Engravings.--In addition to this, we have entered into a permanent engagement with the house of Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, of New York, for a supply of most exquisite Pictures, among which we may mention a series of elegant

Indian and Prairie Scenes. Got up in the most magnificent style, and representing, from sketches taken from nature, the most beautiful Scenery of our Western Country. Our Southern Views, engraved by the same house, which have

become so widely popular, will also be continued. The exquisite female heads engraved by this firm--among which we may instance that of Mrs. Stephens, which has never been equaled in this country--will be further supplied by Messrs. R. W.H, whose facilities and talents, in their line of art, are unrivaled in the world. We may safely say that we have all the best Artists employed on "Graham." Our Portrait Gallery occupies the time of several accomplished artists, among whom are Welch & Walter, G. Parker, and others. Portrait of Authors is a feature originated by the proprietor of Graham, and successfully carried out. We defy any competition in this branch. Sartain's Elegant Mezzotints. Mr. Sartain will furnish us, for the New Volume, a series of his magnificent mezzotints. One will appear in January. We need not say to tho readers of Graham, that these brilliant pictures excel any mezzotints ever issued in America, and his finest efforts have appeared in this work. Flowers colored from Nature, truthfully drawn by an able artist, to take a place in a department, got up expressly for the ladies, for the New Volume, embracing The latest Fashions, new styles of Needlework, and Ornamental Work, &c. , With letters on topics connected with female interests, will also form a feature of the New Volume. Comic and Humorous Sketches. Mr. J. C. Neal, E. A. Poe, H. H. Weld, and others, will furnish a series of amusing sketches, which will be handsomely illustrated by Croome, or Darley. We shall also have Hints at Fashionable Life in letters from Abroad, written by F. J. Grund, Esq., Consul to Antwerp, who will also furnish us with the earliest literary intelligence, and short notices of new works, prior to their appearance here in the shape of reprints. This will give "Graham" a position to adjust the value of foreign works, before the purchaser here has been duped by puffs paid for by interested publishers. Editorial and Critical Department. The criticisms of Graham's Magazine are acknowledged in all parts of the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and independence to those of any cotemporaries. In this department we shall give a chapter on Fashionable Gossip each month, hitting off the follies of the fashionable world, for the amusement of our lady readers; and, for the gentlemen, FRANK FORRESTER has promised us Hints on Sports and Pastimes, a feature which we have no doubt will be of interest to many thousands of our readers. We have also made arrangements for a large supply of Original Music, with eminent composers, so that we shall present next volume A MOST AMPLE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT, suited to the wants of a very large number of ladies, and of value, in itself, equal to the subscription to "Graham." ONE PARAGRAPH MORE. IM-PORTANT--READ IT!! --We say now to all magazine readers, "Come up Higher !" Don't be duped into the purchase, for a whole year, of trumpery literature, and old-fashioned engravings.--Examine for yourselves! and when you have found the best magazine, subscribe for your wife, your sweet-heart. yourself, or your child. You will not then blush for the contrast with your neighbors' taste. You will find "the best the cheapest;" and our word for it, that which costs the publisher the most money. which is most elegant, original, popular, and desirable, will be found to be Graham's. It can be had by Clubs for $2.00, and it is cheaper than any other publisher, with less than 30,000 subscribers, can furnish so elegant a work.
