My son! my son! the cares of State Are thorns upon the breast, That ever pierce (he eood man's heart, And rob him of his rest: The great and gay to him appear As trilling as the dust; For he know? how little they are worth: How faithless is their trii-t. i.ouis v.

A Cat "Hard Pressed: The Baltic trader, Mary, Captain Riche, arrived at Leith a few days ago, with a cargo cf flax from St. Petersburg. While some men were engaged in unbinding the large packages (which were made up of a number of smaller ones, and squeezed together by a machine into one half their original bulk, for the purpose of saving space and stowage,) they were surprised to find in the heart of one of the bundles, a poor cat, whose body had been crushed into the thickness of a man's hand, by the immense pressure put upon t he flax. The men were standing lost ih conjecture at the circumstance, when their amazement was further increased by a new phenomenon. Tin; collapsed cat began gradually to distend into its original proportion-; a wag of its tail and a motion of its whiskers showed that vitality had returned, and in half an hour B andions rose up and retired to a quiet corner of the ship to ad just her furs. She remained aboard for about twentyfour hours, hut afteiward disappeared, no one can tell how. The vessel was on her passage twenty-eight days, so that puss must have remained all that time in a compressed state, without food or air. Dick said a master to his servr.nl. have you fed the pigs?

A witness in one of the trials at our Circuit Court on hursdav. in a cae of assault, descri bed the offender as taking up the un fortunate ofindec and 'throwing him ast. ihi.s geographical minuteness eemod to amuse the Judge; but the terms, 'east' and 'west' are as common with the country people in the Highinds.and are used in the same manner, s right and left are in the South. The most graphic and ludicrous illustration we have heard of this peculiarity was that of a clergyman in a sequestered arisli, who. on some person remarking to him that part of his dress w as unbut toned, replied with great simplicity, I lie servant lass has been sewing on the button, and she ha? put it an inch o'er far west!". Inverness Courier. A farmer observing his servant a reat while at breakfast, said. 'John. you make a long meal.' 'Sir,' said John. a turkey of this size is not so soon eat es von think for!' la the battle of , Colonel Jesup suspecting that his troops had expend- ' nearly-all their cartridges, passed ilong the rear of the line, to make inquirv as to the fact. Several soldiers who lav mortally wounded, some of them actually in the agonies of death, louring the inquiry, forgot for a monent. in their devotion (o their country, n.tii the pain t lie y endured and the ipproach of death, and called out. each one for himself, "Here are cartridges in mv box. take and distribute them amontr mv companions. A soldier in the line exclaimed to his ommander, "Mv musket is shot to piece. His comrade, w ho av eYiimnir a ith his wounds at the distance of a few eel, replied, in a voice, scarcely audi ble. "Mv musket is in an excellent orer take and use her!"' It is no extravagance lo assert, that i!i army of such men, commanded by n of lice r of corresponding merit, i itorally invmciple. Two boys, oie of them blind of an eye. were discoursing on the merits of their respective master's. "How many lours do you gel for sleep?" said one. Light," replied the other. 'Eight! why only gets four!' 4 All? said the first, 'but recollect you have only one ere tocLse; and I have two.' When Marion's pride was once en gaged in battle, Captain Gee was sup posed to be nioi tally wounded. A ball passed through the cock of hi hat, very much tearing, not only the crown, but also his head. He lav, for many hours insensible, but suddenly reviving, his first inquiry was after his hat: which being brought to him, a friend at the same time lamenting ihe mangled state of his head, he exclaimed: "Oh I care nothing about my head: time and the doctors will mend that; but it grieves rne to think that the rascals have ruined mv new hat for ever."

A prisoner being brought up lo Bow street, the following dialogue passed between him and the sitting magistrate: "How do you live?" "Pretty well, sir; generally a joint and pudding at dinner." "I mean, sir, how do you get your bread?'' "1 beg your worship's pardon; sometimes at the bakers, and sometimes at the chandler's shop."' "You may be as witty as you please, Fir; but 1 mean simply to ask you, howdo you do?"' "Tolerably well, I thank vour worship: 1 hope vour worship is "well." BLACllH'HINcfAND MANUFACTORY.

Those who are not engaged in business, do not seem, so readily, to perceive the advantages (hat might accrue to them, and will, probably, not generally insure their property, until we are visited by a delisting FIRE in our village.

THE PHILADELPHIA Saturday Courier, largkst journal trinted in tub u. s. At $2 per annum. TF it most generally occurs that the path of a public journal lo popularity and success lies' through years of toil and attention, and that the approbation of the public is of a slow and precarious growth, arid docs not always reward the enterprize ol the cultivator, it is chiefly ascribahle to the want ot that judgment and discrimination so essential to that end. and which seldom fail to obtain a just remuneration. This observation is fully confirmed by the experience which the Proprietors of the Saturday Courier have hitherto enjoyed. Knowing the causes which have impeded the progress, and fre quently terminated the very existence of many newspaper journals, they were enabled to avoid them, and in an un usually short period to Bee the triumph of their opinions and exertions in an extent of circulation, which, whether reerardinp numbers or rapidity, is equal ly flattering. The circulation has, in less than two years, increased to upward? of seven thousand copiei, naa

still continues to increuiein fnvtr an

utility. The advantages possessed by tb Courier are peculiar to itself, and are equally apparent in every branch of its miscellaneous contents, which are always novel and useful, entertaining and instructive. Literature. This department of the Courier is under a watchful and spirited superintendance, so that no aper unpossessed of decided merit, is admissable. On a recent occasion h Piiizr. Tale was published, for which the sum of ONE HUNDRED DOL LARS was paid, and to secure original and sterling contribu(ion?,other inducEmenls have been offered. The correspondents of the Courier are numerous and distinguished. Among them are Miss Leslie, (whose writings are the theme of En 1 open as well as American admiration;) R. P. Smith, Esq., so ad vantageously know n as a Dramatist and Novelist; Mrs. C. L. Hentz, author of D" Lara, (he successful piize tragedy; Miss Bacon, author of the pathetic tale Loves lAlarni; and many others, who, under fictitious signatures, have obtained very distinguished celebrity. Added to these high sources of original contributions, their exchange list includes the most valuable american jour nals, whilst Irom abroad they regularly receive Buhrer'sNew Monthly, Campbell's Metropolitan, Frazer's Magazine, London Literary Gazette, Blackwood, La Belle Assemblee, World of Fashion, United Service Journal, Arc. And through Mr. W7illmer, their agent at Liverpool, the choicest of the English papers, including the John Bull, Bell's life in London, x-c. &c. News. The strictest attention is beslowed on this Hibject. Aware of (he importance of (he political events which are daily occurring, changing alike (he manners and (he institutions of the wor ld, the proprietois invariably lurnish all foreign intelligence to the latest dates, and when its nature war rants it, an exira is published. Our domeslie affairs are assiduously obser ved and carefully communicated, and. in addition to a minute statement of local transactions, a synopsis of events passing m all parts of the country is regularly prepared and published. Humorous Subjects. Could the philosophy of my rib be discussed, or rather exhibited within the limits of a prospectus, the necessity of admitting its claim to a portion of every newspa per, would he more nanutely understood; but the good old motto, "dum vivimus vivamus," will be sufficient reasoning for those who value the best part of existence. The Courier will, as usual, contain the newest and most piquent anecdote, bon-mots, and witty recitals, all tending to fill up the leisure moments of the man ofhusincss wil l rational pleasure, and to increase that of the man of fashion. The Editorial Department embrace? reviews of new publication?, nolices of (he fine arts, Arc; remarks on general topics, descriptions of public improvements, amusements, &c; discussions of suitable subjects, dramatic criticisms, &:c. This department has been, and will continue to he conducted in a spirit of independence. Whatever comes fairly within observation, shall be fairly dealt with, and no station or influence will deter the prompt and decided expression of unbiassed opinion. In fine, the Sxtucday Courier is the largest, cheapest, and most diversified, entertaining, and instructive weekly newspaper issued from (he American press. The publishers claim for its contents a character of vigorous originality, judicious selection, extensive variety and interresting detail; and they invite comparison with contemporary publications. All orders for the paper, covering the necessary enclosures, must be addressed to Woodward & St-rago, No. 2, Athenian Buildings, Franklin Place, Philadelphia.
