so iiction Edmund Bowan, for some year? past

rvas a respectable, industrious and thrifty young nv.a, lii gtily esteemed for liis honesty, probity, and utter detestation of all' kinds cf deceit; and no one had fairer prospect? of posing through the world with greater honor to himself ;md more F;.1i; fiction to liis friends. At the ago of twenty-three he married one of the most respectable young woman in hi neighborhood, and they commenced their worldly career bright us a fair May-morning, without a cloud 1o dim the glories of the rising sun. or mar the happines which beamed with so much effulgence upon tnem. Years rolled on with as few interruptions to their harmony and general prosperity as usually fails to the lot of mankind. An interesting family was the fruit of their union; and competency, yea, independence, crowned their industrious and frugal exerlio.is. Business occasionally called Fdmund to a large market town some distance from where he lived. During those xcursions he became acquainted with men cf dissolute habits, intemperate and profane in their morals; and, step by step, though almost imperceptibly, he approached the ruinous, the awful gulf of intemperance. His aberrations were not at first of a very alarming character. They did not ail at once threaten a total and final ruin to those bright dreams, those fond anticipations which had fdled his early mind and occupied his early thoughts. Every ihir-g around him partook of a neatness and convenience for which he vn remarkable. His barns were well filled, and stored in the best order, with the plenteous products of his rich fields his fences were good, and his outbuildings in the best state of repair. His slock of cattle, horses, sheep, ice. exhibited cood keeping, and showed a kind and tender master. His family partook of that happiness and enjoyment which is ever the result of a well regulated and soberly conducted establishment. Hut, alas, these bright scenes were doomed to terminate the dreams of happiness to be broken. A small dark spot appeared in their domestic horiz n, overcasting with shadowy clouds what was before fair and beauteous. Intemperance, like a canker worm, secretly and imperceptible commenced and carried on the work of destruction. At first it was by no means a subject of disquietude either to his family or friends. Thri little deviation from the moral patli Edmund had heretofore pursued, seemed rather to amuse than alarm them, as it appeared to increase his good nature and heighten his social feelings. But the rankest of all rank weeds cannot more rapidly expand and grow, than do the pernicious habits of intoxication, when or.ce they have taken root. To arrest its progress, or stop its mad career, until the unhappy victim is completely cngainaeJ and ii i . ' . . . . swmiuweu up iu uie vortex, me whirlpool of destruction, is beyond the strength, the power of human hands. Thus it was with our hapless friend his habits became worse and worse Ins temper or disposition also underwent a fearful change he became morose and brutish in his manners: that decency and self respect, and that gentlemanly deportment and regard he al ways entertained for Ins family and friends, gave way to the most degrading and ! castlv actions of drunkenness and to a literally wnhv. ing in the mire. lie commenced a good mechanic and thrifty farmer, both of which branches he personally superintended and carried on with profit but now his business began to decline, for he no longer pnid it that affection which goes to cn-irc it? permanency and prosperity a very few y ears, what once appeared like a beautiful and richly ornamented garden became desolate and waste, his fields wilderness cf weed--, overrun vith briars and brambles.

Not many ears elapsed before he wa; compelled to seli his little firm, which had been, for its richness and cultivation the envy of the neighborhood, and lite support of his large and interesting family. One by one his tools and implements of husbandry were disposed of to purchase the p -i- ...... ...... uusuiyna mm al last went ho.ises, and stock, household furniture, and nil not a thing was left.

Ti 10 Philadelphia Commercial Intelligencer gives a most gusty description of (he nlie aoout to be presented to the Hon orabb: David Crockett by some young gentlemen of Philadelphia. We have not exactly the space at this moment to copy the- description in detail, but t ae reader may rest assured that the rule is a most superb tool, and will, we have no doubt, do potent execution among the iennessce vermin. On the guard, the Intelligencer informs us. there is the counterfeit presentment of an aiigalor rampant, with his jaws distent and lookii.g us fierce as ten furies. The "slight touch of an earthquake"' the arti't appears to have omitted, but nearlhe muzzle is a gilded arrow, w ith the Colonel's celebrated motto '-Go ahead. ' A shot pouch, tomahawk and knife, all beautifully "got up." accompany the rifle. But the Intelligencer is happiest in its closing description. . .

The following amusing circumstance occurred a few davs since with a person, who was visi ting a family m the neighboihood . 'What is the future state?" Said the Clergyman, to a sprightly little girl. "Illinois." "No no,"' said the preacher, "I mean what is the future condition of men and women?'' "Why," replied JS the girl, hesitatingly, "I suppose they ire to be married '. "Who's that?1 said a passer-by to a crowd collected round a man fallen in the street. "Why, don't you know?" said a would-be wag, "lie. s the most no ted, public spirited man in town.

We have the most unquestionable authority for say ing, that there is a cow in Cumberland township, Green county, Pa. which has bad no less than eleven calves, in fou years! When three years old, she had her two first calves at four year of age, she had her third ; and whe but little past five years old, her fourth About 1G months ago, she had no les than four all on the same night, aiu all of common size. These last lived but a few days. The same cow had three calves more this spring makin eleven m all. within four years. Tw of the. three last are living, and bid fair to do well. The third one is deac The cow is the property of Mr. Wi liam Horner. JVaynesbnrg Messenger A female mule belonging to a gentle man in SuIFmU, Virginia, lately brought forth a colt! This is the first case of the kind we have ever heard of, and the general belief has been that this mixed generation of animals was inea pable of re-production. FFT.CTS OF IXDTSTRY. It IS Stated that when Mr. Cocke, the celebrated English Farmer, took possession of his farm at Hoikham, in Norfolk, it was so poor and worn out that it would not even bring grass. He said locosely "th u there was but one blade of grass on tfie v.nole larm. for which two rab bits were fighting." Rut, by labor and skill, he has made this farm the most beautiful and productive in all Eng land, and i:r. Uocke is now the richest and most distinguished Farmer in the whole country. Baltimore Gazelle.

Praise the fine ness of the day when it is ended; praise i womn when you have known her: a Sivord when you have proved it; and a maiden after she is married. R.c hes. Riches cannot alter the nature of things; they cannot make a man worthy that is worthless in himself; they may demand an insipid complaisance, a formal homage, and ceremonious professions of respect, and leach the servile to speak a language foreign to their hearts; but where a largeness of soul is wanting they can never procure an affectionate esteem, grcalful sentiments, and an undissembled love, the willing tribute a generou? heart to merit onl i- Hrrd.
