He was. one of that I I . . class wai l saw very death, that "alter ali -o must tiaht ;" and, having come lo that conclusion, there was no citizon more prepared for the extremity, or who would have been more reluctant to enter into any kind of compromise. lierhe had received warning at Lex ington, in the night ef the 10th of April, of the intended British expedition, as. he proceeded to make his escane tnrough (he holds with some friends, soon alu r the dawn of day, he exclaimed, "'rids is a tine, day!''

The verv nnUs m Ins character tenue.l, m aie iree, to render s erveces mire awfal, by concentrating his exertions, and preventing their becoming weakened by indulgence or liberality towards diilbrcnl opinions. There was some tinge of bigotry and narrow nets both in his religion and politic?. He was a strict Calvanist, and probably, no individual of his day had ''"' ' feelings of the ancient unians as he pessosed. Ia politics, lie was so icaious ol ttciegaicu nowei, that he would t ot have given our constitutions inherent force enough for their ow n preservation, lie attached an exclusive aluc to the habits and princi ples in which he. had been educated. in-1 wished to aepist wide concerns too closely after a particular model.

long lime, to bring alj-.ut;ai,d when the new constitution went into operation, it loaning towards aristocracy, which was the absurd, imputation of it? enemies, and which his antilVderal bias led him more readily to believe, derived al! its plau-ibihty from the just, generous, ai d universal confidence thai was i posed in the chief magistrate. These thii gs influenced his conduct in old aue, hen he v;i governor of Massachusetts.

a:d while the extreme heat cf polilical t elings would have made it impossible l- v a tnueli les positive character to administer any public concerns without one. of the parties of that day Ltit.c lissalislied. Ihit all these circumstances are to he disregarded, in making an estimate of his sei vices. lie, in fact was born for the revelutionat y epoch; he was trained and nurtured in it, and al! his principles ;i!d views were deeply imbued willi Iho dislikes and parliaiittes which wei e created during that long struggle. io In !or.gel to the revelation; all the power and peculiarity of his character were developed in that career; and his. share in public life, tinder a subsequent state of things, must be considered as subordinate and unimportant. His private habits were simple, frti:al, and unostentatious. Kotu iili--inndiui the an-terity of his character, hi aspect was mild, dignified and gentlemanly. He was entirely superior to pecuni in considerations, and after having been m) many years in tbe. public service, must have been buried at the public expense, if the atllicting death of an only son had not lemedied this honorable poverty. IW1KUK II l.VKV. Cf all liie characters that the days of trial brought forth, not one presents such an extraordinary mixture of earh inlirmitv, and of splendid manhood as Patrick Henry. But early or late, lie had no artificial pretensions. All his gifls were the gilts of nature; all bis lights of unaided nature. Habitually idle, he entered into trade; then agriculture: returned after marriage to 1 rude again, and failed in all! ho took to the. forest as a huntMiiasi.Viul ftnalix touched with the sufferings of an amiable wife and children without study, or preparation, he urged his way to the bar al the age of tw enty-four, and there displayed the forensic wonders of his mind. To the eloquence, the match less spirit and the genius of this man, Mr. Jetrersen with his usual frankness and decision of character, ascribed the tirt impulse which Virginia received in the glorious cause of freedom. To the stamp act, Mr. Henry opposed a resistance before which the ttlbrtsof royalty sunk to rise no more. In the year 17Go, he carried by a single vote, the liberties of his country. In 1774, he, together with George Washington and others, were deputed to the Colonial Congress. It was in Carpenter's Hall, Philadelphia, where lie poured forth those bursts of eloquence w Inch at once kindled up the glowing (lame of liberty, and blasted forever the lory hopes of the refugee and the royalist. Patrick Henry had the glory of fust assigning to Washington the meed ol superior virtue and wisdom. It was Henry who at once invoked the war and spirit w hich conducted the colonics to freedom and to victory. lie was a great advocate of Stale Independence, as the sure, .and indeed the only moans of avoiding consolidation. 1 -ike Washington, he was free from ambition, and three score years terminated the earth ly career of both these models of pub ic purity, ported devotion to thencountry. If Patrick Henry had his errors earl v in life, our young readers will recollect that they died longheloie he did and do not belong even to his tomb. The best is inscribed, by the gratitude of the people, upon the tablet fibr. nation, as an imperishable lesson to the children of the Bopublic. William Pf.nx. William Penn, the great legislator of the Quakers, hatf v l 1:1. the success ol a conqueror in esiannsu ing and defending his colony, among savage tribes, without ever drawing the sword: tbe goodness ol ihe mos benevolent ruler, in treating his sub jects as his own children; and the ten derness of a universal father, who open ed his arms to all mankind, without distinction of sect or parly. In tin republic it was not the religions creet but "personal merit" that entitled every memberof society to the protection am emolumenls of the state.

iihm;:s that l iiavi: ski;n. I have seen the lime when the onlv boat that floated on ihe surface of the Ohio, was a canoe, propelled by poles used by two persons, one in the bow and the oilier in the stern. I have seen the day w hen the introduction ef the keel boat, with a shingle roof, was hailed a mighty improvement in the biiMi.t ss of the west. 1 remember the day when the arrival of a Canadian barge (as the St. Louis boats were called it the head of the

uino) was an important cent in the transaction o( a year. I remember the day when a passage of four months from Natchez to Pittsburgh, wa? called a speedy trip lor the best rraft OI, iie i;ve,., aJ when the boatman, a race now extinct, leaped on shore after the voyage, and exhibited an air of as much triumph as did the sailors of Columbus on their return from the new weald. I remember the time when the canoe of a white jnan dared not be launched on the hoso.vt of (he Alleghany, I remeniacr the lime when a trader lo New Orleans was viowed as the most enterprising ;unong--( even the most h ud sons of the west; on his return from bis six months trip, he was hailed as a traveller who had seen the world. I remember the day when (be borders of the Ohio w ere a w ilderncFs, and New Orleans was 'Hoto orbe divisa," literally cast ofl from the whole world. I have lived to sec the dav when the dtsert is flourishing as (be rose when the raceof boatmen lias become extinct, aed their memories only preserved in ibe traditional (ales of our borders. 1 have lived to see two splendid cities, one devoted to manufactures, the other to commerce, spring up, where in my bo hood, nothing appeared like civilisation but the hut of the soldier or of tbe settler. I have lived (o sec a revolution produced by a mechanical philosophy, equal to that eflectcd by the art of printing. It has changed the character of w estern commerce and almost proved that the poetical wish of "annihilating time and space,' was not altogether hyperbolical. By it New Orleans and Pittsburgh have become near neighbors. I have lived to see the day, when a visit to New Orleans from Cincinnati, requires no more preparation than a visit to a neighboring country town. I remember when it required as much previous arrangement as a voyage to Calcutta. I have lived to see vessels of 300 tons arriving in twehe or fifteen days from New Orleans at Cincinnati; and I calculate upon living to see them arrive in ten das. 1 have lived to see vessels composing an amount of tonnage of upwards of 4,000 tons, arrive in one week tit the harbor of Cincinnati. All these things I have seen, and vet I feel myself entitled lo be numbered amongst the young sons ef the est. i;i rixT or tiii; imuxtixl: iki:ss. Every thing of the nature of light is favorable to truth; and light has been increasing and prevailing through Ion periods o( time. Neatly lour centuries ince, an humble individual dwelling on the banks of the Rhine, invented the muling press, an invention simple in its kind, but for its issues almost divine ; lestroyed the monopoly ot knowledge uul made it the commodity of mankind. No sooner was the general mind nourshed with knowledge, than it rose from its torpor lo a remarkable stale of v igor, elevation and activity ; and it quickly liscovered it by results equally remarkable. One mighty mind dwelt amongst the stats, and settled the mechanism of the heavens; another attempted the perils of ihe unknow n seas, and planted . ... . , i his standard in a new wood; ana yet another, like Sampson, bursts the bands of superstition, and asserted the rights ol conscience, w lulsl a thousand mariyrs sealed his testimony with their blood. ..... Imnulse has followed impulse, Ince wave upon wave; great and mighty in itself, and gathering fresh power as it advan cod." Liberty, persecuted or restricted in Europe, has sought a wide domin ion and renovated being in tne new World. Public opinion has been call ed into existence, and is testing and re vealing both the precious and the vile. The follies of Kings have been checuet the errors of gov ernment corrected and men have claimed the right to think and judge, and act for themselves, without limit in civil life, except from the laws of tbe Creator.

IUKLY JHSIXtJ. I do not know a practice which I should more recommend than early rising, whether devotion, health, beauty, or improvement of the mind, were the objects in view. How cheerful and how animated are the meditations of tiie morning! What a delightful bloom flashes into the cheeks from its balmy exhalations! What an unspeakable cheerfulness glides into the soul, from hearing the devotional matins of the lark, and from beholding- (hc newborn

; 1 scenery of nature! How necessary is sucn a regimen lo preserve that sweetness of complexion and breath which arc the very essence and perfume of beauty! When people think of accounting to Gon for the talents they have received, they overlook the hours which are lost in morning sloth and unreasonable indulgence. I have inured myself for many years to this habit of eat ly rising. In the spring months of April and May, particularly, I grudge every moment that is wasted after five. 1 consider it as a rude neglect to all those sweets which opened (o salute me, and always find so much more deducted from the firmness of my health, and the vigor of my understanding. 11UAL.TH. Health i so necessary to all the duties as well as the pleasures of life, that the crime of squandering it, is equal to the folly; and he that for a short gratification, brings weakness and disease upon himself, and for the pleasure of a few years passed in the tumult of div ersion and clamors of merriment, condemns (he mature and more experienced part of his life lo the chamber add the couch, may be justly reproached not only as a spendthrift of his own happiness, but as a robber of the publie: as a wretch that has voluntarily disqualified himself for the business of his station, and refused that part which providence assigned him in the general lark of human nature. M akxf.r of naming countries. The origin ot tne woru tannua is curious enough. The Spaniards visited that country previous to the French and made particular searches for gold and silver, but finding none they often said tmong themselves "nca narfa, (there is nothing here.) The Indians, who watched them closely, learned this sentence and its meaning. After the dcpailure of the Spaniards the French arrived, and the Indians who wanted none of their company, and supposed they also were Spaniards, come on the same errand, were anxious to inform that their labor was lost by tarrying in that country, and incessantly repeated to them the Spanish sentence "aca nada."' The French, who knew as little of the Spanish as the Indians, supposed this incessantly recurring sound was the name of Canada, w hich it has borne ever since. Different colors of Mourning. In Europe, irec is generally used, because it represents darkness, which death is like unto, as if is a privation of life. In China , xrhite isTuscd, because they hope that the dead are in Heaven, the place of purity. In Egypt yclluiv is used, be cause it represents the decaying ot trees ind flowers, which become yellow as they die aw ay. In Ethiopia, brozen 13 used because it denotes the color of the earth from whence we came, and to which we return. In some parts of Turkey, blue is used, because it represents the sky, where (hey hope the dea d are gone ; but in other pa rts, purple and violet, because, being a mixture ot black and blue, it represents, as it were, sorrow on the one side and hope on the other. Matrimony. The following beautiful extract is from 'Family Lectures,' by Mrs. Sproat, of Taunton, Massachusetts. 'A great portion of (he wretchedness which has often embittered married life, I am persuaded has originated in the neglect of trifles. Connubial happiness is a thing of too fine a texture to be handled roughly. It is a plant which will not even bear the touch of unkindness; and a delicate flower which indiflerence will chill, and suspicion blast. It must be watered with the showers of tender affection expanded with (hc glow of altention and guarded w ith the impregnable barrier of unshaken confidence. Thus nurtured, it will bloom with fragrance in every season of life, and eweeten even the loneliness of declining years.'
