I then of course aked him to ak a blcsaing. He commenced in a low, deep, but distinct tone "Gracious" bin unfortunately at tii3t moment tiie wheels ran over a large roo'., ami bumti went his head against the "standard;" the word following was expressed with an unusual degree of earnestness. He looked up rubbing bis head) with a vacant stare, not knowing, as I thought, whether to proceed with his thsnksjiving or not. But he finally concluded to lake up that cro?. though painful, and perform th? duty now doubly incumbent upon him, (for their "Creed it never relinquish a good cause.") He commenced again, but 1 fancied his hcid just about to come in contact with the standard again, (having to hut my eyes as is the custom) and could not refrain fiom a hearty laugh. At ihis be appeared to get quite angry as he took feat with the driver on the box, and ?aid he would noi keep the company of such an impolite man. I was very much surprised it his getting mad at this, snd reaching my heed out of the window, said to him "Fret mt thyself because of evil raen," which entirely counteracted the effect of the laugh, and h came a.id took his seat b?ide me, partaiinsref the hsm and biscuit in its natural ,.. . : aur:, vithcut a tic scip; .

We so )M hatl every nr.r iirranged: the carriage drove up and we all bounded in, the whip cracked &nJ we wentraliling off. I thought I was the happiest fellow in the world, seated befide heron whom alone I bestowed my affection. I did not envy the King or his throne, though nations were at his command; but before I got back I felt as much shame and remorse as Xerxes did when the Grecions drote his soldier frora the field at Mycale. My happinef-s was mo;i2ntary; after travelling about three miles, we came to a small btream enrrounded by an exten sive bogg. and about the middle cf this bogg there was quite a cluster of grape tines, which were covered thickly over with grapes of the tmest kind. This bogg was covered with a kind of moss or turf, which supported our weight by stepping light1)-, and we soon arrived at the spot. I t ishing to appear smart, took hold of one of the tines and commenced Hicending in real sailor style; but just as !! ..

I "sashayed and bnnnred off,'' just about the middle of ihe creek, and was l:.ft to use my own decision, either to swing to the vine (my feet nnd head at right angles, and the seat of try panttloons under the water) or let loose and make for the shore, (the water about waist deep.) I was not wanting decision on this occasion, for I decided in favor of letting the vine loose and corns on, amid shouts of laughter, which rings in mv ear every time I call that mishap to my memory.

SUPPORT YOUR MECHANICS. There is no truth more unden'ublo than i?iat t is :Ue bouodeu duty of every co.n!MT.:;ty lo au;rort it o-yti mechanics. i !h'V arij a -.vo-'hy u:;d India pens.diie class

l i:t'j:, mm wo ; nJ r.o lotvn or village - r iiijf iil.o..t ititir aid. Indeed ihrir sence or aSitnco is &lwavs true t-'i. -i of the condition of a place whether it is advancing ic wealth and impor-t-uee, or sir.ki;ig in decay. Whenever wa pas through a viUsge and hear the frequent sound of the ccrpenier's hammer, the click of tho blacksmith' anvil thai village, we eay to ourselves, is flourishing. It cannot bz otherwise; for the products are actively employed, and outnumber the consumers. Whenever and wherever this II the case, the neoole art; irroiviii.r wexlthy, -d are at the same time training up the rising generations '.o habits of lmlusl I K try and morality. Whereas, if a city or village pursuu the opposite of this course neglects its mechanics and supports those of some foreign town those who can, will be compelled by the force of circumstances ti remain and become idle an ! profligate they will ctase to produce and be consumers in a few years they will become beggars and their children ignorant and vuious. If there is any truth in the assertion that we ought as a nation, to give the preference to domes.ic manufactures; the fact is equally true with regard to a community -both are sustained by thj same arguments. If a merchant would have around him substantial customer, let him by every means in his power, support and foster the mechanics of his village, and as they become more wealthy their custom will increase, especially in those articles on which he makes the greatest profit; fur il is undeniable, that as men become more wealthy, they also become more luxurious, and no merchant wiH deny that articles of luxury always afford the greatest profits. The habit of importing large quantities of ciieap and half made articles to compete with our 1ll3ge mechanics, is short-sighted and wrong, both as re gards the mechanics and consumer; and if the merchant would lok further into the operation of things, he would find that he crossed the path of his own interest by doing s . Let the merchant bring the case to his own door, and he, pet haps, may bt-tter understand it; suppose that every individual who possesses the means and who uces in his family four or five hundred dollars worth of goods per annum, should instead of buying of him at retail go 1., some wholesale establishment and putr: ae his year's supply would he not in biuet;ivs condemn such an illiberal course, an.! would he p )t say to hi in with tr'ith that I13 ws warring against his own interest by destroying the business of his town and giving il to another; and that his iiii!ene& would recoil up.oti him in double f.ld by the decrease of his own property and business-? So, in the case above instanced, could the mechanic say the same to ihe meichant. We.uy, then, let all classes support each other, and by the mutual exchanges, keep that wealth t at home, whicli if unnecessarily expended ah.ond, tends to destroy the business of your neighbor, anil which in turn destroys your own.

A mono; the isolated items of foreign news received hy on eteam ship Acadia, at Boston. 17th, is ;he following1 account of a dre.idfid earthquake in the region of Mount Araiat. Itcom?s throjgh a St. Peters burg pqper, wherein it is published :u a part of letter from T.flis, dated August hi: ' Vou Slave, doubtless, heard of the terni.ie ; rthr lake of M. unt Ararat, w hich ha it. totally destroyed the town of Meekdamaged all the buildings at F'rivan, and deviated the two districts of Shitrour and Si. urinate, in Armenia.All the vil'ages in those districts have been destroyed. The eartSi is rent in such a manner that all the cotton and rice plantations have perished for want of water. But the most awful event has ukci place hi the neighborhood of Mount Ar3lat. A considerable mi's was loosemd from the mountain, and destroyed every ihmg in its way for the distance of seven wersts(nearly five English mils.) Among others, the great village of Akhouli has had t!ie fate of Herculaneum and Pompeii. About one thousand inhabitants were buried under the heap3 of rocks. A thick fluid, which afterwards became a river, ran from t!ic interior of the mountain, which was opened, and. following ths samg direction, swept over the ruins and carried with it corpses of the unfortunate inhabitants of Akhouli, the dead aninnls, &c. The shock continued to be fVIi in the above mentioned districts, ard entirely laid-waste; and then the el.ocks became less frequent. Ararat is not yet quiet; the day before yesterday I was awakened by two violent subterranean commotions. "THE MORNING COMETH." After a long and dreary night of misrule and party tyranny, the streaks of returning day are at last lighting up our political horizon. Thank God! "The morning comsth." We hail the presage with joy and gratitude. Often, during h watches of the dark and trotioltsome

night which is now about passing away, has ilia star of Hope beamed sweetly through the murky atmosphere for a momem to bless and cher the weary vigill; but as often has its rays been obscured, by the thickening clouds which threw a btill detpt-r gloom over the prospect. Worn and sad, we have year afier year looked out from the watchtower, and with

a desponding heart we have had to return for answer to the passing challenge "Watchman, what of the nigiu?" the hopeless answer "the darkness thickens, ihe gloom deepens, the storm of misrule gathers a fiercer strength'." But there is a change in the prospect around us a change visible in the sky above, and on the earth below; it is visible on the mountain, and on the lakes, rnd along our mighty rivers, and in the heatings to and fro of the dense vapor which is lift ing liom our broad valieys. It u the hour of day break in thi Republic!! We look outioiy from the watchtower, and there is a ruddy hue in the sky, which betokens the up-riing ere long of the glorious sun of "Harrison and Reform." Bunding our ear attentitelv to the rising breeze, we catch the first faint; sound of a beginning stir in the rarts of commence, which have so long slept 111 puUcless silence, as of men arousing from a deep slumber, and anon we see bng lines cf happy faces as '.ho black cloud passes from above them, and hear shouts of congratulation swelling up fVon ihe awakened and resuscitated multitude. Joy! joy!'. "The morning cometh!" November's sun will besm upon a cloudless sky, and smile upon a land :na le happy and prosperous by the dutipation cf 8 long night of misrule and corruption.
