FOR THE WESTERN SUN. EPITAPH ON 1 HOS. VVALTEROD. Here lies the remains of Thomas Walterod; Have mercy on me O my God, As I would thee, if I were God, And thou wert Thomas Walterod. Grant this one favor, () my God. To one poor Thomas, Walterod; For it's the first I've ask'd, O God Do not deny poor Walterod. I am no dun, thou knows't my God, Grace give then to poor Walterod, For it's in thy power, O my God To will what is not, even or odd. A. From the casket. TO LYRA, Beautiful creature, .

O! never, no never May my soul bow forever. In love, at the feet of the haughty coquette; For her words or a token, The heart will be broken, get That trusts to the v ow that she seeks to forGive me the dark eyed ore, Whoes lip ne'er was sigh'd on. Whose heart ne'er had loved till it met with my own; Who would hang down her head When I praised her, and shed Bitter tears when I blamed her fcr coldness alone.

' l is necessity. To which the gods must yield, and I obey, Till 1 redeem it by some glorious way Bkaurhont and Fletchkr. A strange title for apathetic story, Mr. Editor yet, I assume it for a very good reason; stories that have odd titles are very apt to be read had I headed mine, "Mortified Pride" perhaps it would stand a lair chance ot passing into ob'ivion. I onoe met with as noble a genius as was ever moulded out ol clay; he was all heart and soul he loved his friends, pitied his enemies, end had a half of hib little store always ready for a fellow creature in distress Such choice spirits are rate commodities now adays in thi world of bustle and speculation; when they arc met with, we generally find them to possess a counteracting passion tor where is the human being that is all per lection? Edgar Sinclair (this is as good a name as any) was of an ancient and honorable family; his parents, though possessing but a vety limited fortune, instilled into their son the same aristccratical principles, they had inherited from their ancestors. He received a splendid educa'.icn, the expenses of which almost impoverished his father, and when he entered the world he was obliged to select a profession whereby he could abtain a livelihood. He chose the law, as giv ing a free scope to his powers of elo quence. A brilliant intellect will not long remain in obscurity; the genius and wit of Edgar made him friends, and his poverty and excessive ptidc were soon lost in the admiration his associates betratedfornis high intellectual qualities He became an accomplished poet, his songs were sung by romantic little misses with delighthis odes were recited on public occasions, and his bon mots even attributed to Dean Swilt, Ben Johnson, Sheridan, Sec. for no one ever thought of Joe Miller. Edgar with all his strength of mind and nobleness of nature was weak enough to tall in love and with an amiable and lovely girl too, who possessed every recommendation a poet cou!d wish; a man of the world might say she wanted one thing money The story of their loves would be nothing uncommon, so I ahall pass all that over. The affection was mutual, and so they got married in the usual way of forming a co partnership. Edgar Sinclair was, to use his own expression, born under an unlucky star with an iron spoon in his mouth. He loved hia wife dearly, as all husbands houkl do, he paid dearly lot his love, for she was too lovely a girl to be snubbed at, and he tco proud to allow her to appear a jot behind others in point of fashion Thing went on for a while swim mingly, for Edgar bad friends who would! help him out of difficulties. But in the ciuirse of time, he was reduced to a min usq-rantiiy: i e. he owed more than he had a prospect of paying. To confess poverty is to all men a task; to him it was a degrada'ion his proud nature scorned it he so'd out all he had paid what he could, and left the rest to chance His wife very wisely accommodated her desires to her husband's means, and he loved her ten times more for it. Frequently they had to go without a dinner tor the want of the ready to pay the butch er and the baker such is the fate of gen'us 1 he ready wit and humor of Edgar gave him a passport to the fi.st circles; for many a purse proud personage, while he loves to mark the brightest scintilla lions of cenius, little recks the erief that

an invitation from a Southern nabob dine, which was, of course, accepted. His wife asked him, as he dressed him self for the feast with an appetite well whetted, if he would think o her while he sat at the sumptuous table? The hint was. broad enoughs Edgar kissed her

care-worn checks. while a b!ush mantled ;

hi? own, and told her he would hot forget her. All thing went on smoothly south, crners are nob'e hosts, they know well how to cater for hungry guests. The table was richly ladened with viands of various kinds. Edgar's jokes gave a zest to the whole, and, had it not been for one malapropos, the company might fiave separated grateful to the host and delighted with the humorist But there was mortification in store for Edgar, and, in two of his massy table spoons were'tnis sing, and, that the waiters had all been searched, and that the articles couldjjot be found A gentleman immediately proposed that each one present should be searched but the host most positively declined he had too much respect for his friends he could not for a moment suspect any gentleman present But it would not do,- the company insisted on being starched, ar d the host proceeded reluctently to the task. After examining the pock- ts of several, he came to Edgar, on whose visage the white and ret u.ight be seen alternately coming and going Excuse me, Mr. Sinclair but it is the wish of the company." I I I cannot be searched, Mr. B " retorted Edgar, coloring highly, umy standing in society shou'd place me above suspicion and lassuteyou, on my honor as a gentleman, I have not got tne spoons. A slight murmur went round the table, and Mr. B "seemed verytmuch agitated 'O! come, come Sinclair," said a gentleman, "you certainly would not be singular in this case turn your pockets inside out." "When I need your advice sir, I shall ask it," replied Edgar, coloring still moredeepb; "I cannot submit to the search it is a thing I am not used to though I assure you all, gentlemen, on my honor, I know nothing of the spoons ' AH entreaties were unavailing. Edger would not allow his pockets to be touched; and he therefore stood accused of theft! Taking his hat and cane, and al most bursting over his wounded pride, though ho endeavoured with all his might not to expose the contest of feeling r&ging in his hopm, be walked firmly I to the door, and bowing to the company, ! :'.... . . . - - - : retired When he entered the street his feelings found vent, ard he burst into tears his honor stigmatized his reputation ruined forever. His wife received him with her usual kindness ; but he heeded her not; he retired to bed and passed a night more of phtenzy than of repose. In the morning he received a note from Mr. B desiring his immediate at tendance, at his house. Thither Edgar went, conscious of his innocence, and prepared to divulge his secret. Tell me," said Mr. B , taking him kindly by the hand, ltell me sincere ly, why you refused to be searched last efening, when the company proposed it? I did not believe you guiby at the time, and my belief has since been verifiedthe spoons were thrown into the yard by a careles3 servant, who shook the cloth without examining it. Speak to n.e with cot fidence, I have ever thought you an honorable man." r' After several s ruggles between pride and duty. Edgar replied Your disinterested generosity, -ir, commands my admiration; and I am not ashamed to confess toyru that I have a bused your liberality I am poor, sir miserably poor at your table I sated myself with luxuries I thought of my wife, who had not had a dinner for two days. A tenp'ing leg o a turkey lay on the dish, I thought it no harm, you might have given it to your dogs so I slily slipped it into my handkerchief, and de posited it in my pocket. Judge of my mortification, sir, when the gentlemen proposed that we should be searched for the spoons mv poverty and meanness to be exposed It was more than my prjdc wouM bear, and I refused for, I would rather be accused of robbing the mai', than be guilty of embezzling the left leg of a turk y PUBLIC IOTIITE, To the Ilfh'ft ami legal Vr?wer?f)ttives of IVillimn Dclhiger, I 7 (late of Green county, Iadiu na ) (licenced YOU are hereby notified, that I shall, ei ther by myself or by my attorney, apply to the next October term ot the Oirpn county Circuit court, and on the first day of the raid term, for the appointment of Commissh nc-s to divide the real estate of the sard William Delmger, deceased, among his several heirs.

Introduction to the First Y.ihjr,;- ef the.

AMERICAN REPERTORY, OF AFTb SrCATES.' ASD USEFUL LITZnATUnz. The object ef this work is, to furnish, in numbers, to the rivng peneraticn, a Jm;'jture Fneuc'c:acdiat or Grr.rral Cabinet, embracing an epitome cf the most interesting topics of the age. In carrying eut this design, three impnrant principles will be constantly in view: First To select frcm the great mass of human knowledge that cny which u useful or orr;amentaf. Second To tordense matter and language as f ir as practical utility will admit. Third To systematize and errevge the whole in such manner, that each and every portion may be turned to at pleasure, without the usual alphabetic order of the several articles, or the trouble if a common index. 1 he scanty limits here allowed forbid even the enumeration ot the topics upon which, it is believed, the future pages of this work will be usefully occupied a simple h5nt at its origin and present dej-ign must therefore suffice. The example of the bee, in drawing from an almost infinite variety cf substances, that only which is adapted to its particular wants and mode of life, to the exclusion of all supeifiuous or extraneous matter, and the in genious method pursued in arranging its small;. tho' precious, stores, for future use, suggested the idea of a small periodical, ot which this is a specimen. Though the primary aim of the work will be, to extract, abstract, and concentrate, within comenicnt limits, that which is evidently useful still, whatever is ornamental in literature, scierce, and the arts, will not be overlooked. Nor will any painbe spared, while endeavoring to draw within these narrow limits the wisdom of the present ai d the experience of the past, to ex cite in the minds of cur readers a thirst for all that is intrinsically valuable, even beyond the scope of this periodical part'iulaily b favourable reference to more ve luminous publications, to which this will scive as an ir.dex. Another prominent object, will be, to furnish the best practical system for accumulating, independent!) of this work, appro priate mental stores, for the varied purposes of life, in whatever department it may fall. The fu st few numbers will communi cate a practical knowledge of that labour and time-saving art, tihzrt-Hand ; aftti which they will exhibit in their progress, a model place book, to be copied, or imitated, as circumstances shall justify, by all vho approve the plan. - , As a matter of very great convenience to the reader, especially for future reference, the contents of each page will be denoted by prominent w ords in the margin to which mnrginal words, a general index may be framed upon the principle of Locke's Com men Piace Book, which is fully explained in its proper place. I his will furnish to every reader an infallible key to every pwrt which he may wish to re examine and, at the s i me time, suggest to the aspirant after knowledge, a method, which, if pursued. cannot fail to produce to bim incalculable benefits, by the ultimate saving of time, labor, and space; for it is asserted, without fear cf refutation, that a young man, who first acquires a facility in short-hand wri ting, and then proceeds to write daily, upon the plan about to be suggested, can acquire mere usetul Knowledge in one year, than it would be possible for him to obtain in three years, by any other method that has ever been devised. For illustration; two individuals, in eve ry respect equal, take up a volume of 500 pages -the one hurries through it, in the usual way, and lays it down to be neglected and forgotten; the other takes time while he reads, to deliberate upon each chapter, section, or topic: and while it is fresh in the mind, enters in his place book, agreeably to the plan aoout to be communicated, the substance, or, at least, the names cf impor tant subjects, and the pages where they arc found. Upon the completion of the volume, the latter will have drawn out, perhaps upon five pages, a summary of the 500. For rnost purposes, a perusal of this summary will be as benehcialand satisfactory, as a re-peru sal of the whrl volume, though requiring nut lOUUi part as much time. Having these five pages then, as a general brief, or index to the volume, the contents may be referred to, when occasion requires, without ln-s of time; and all the important facts familiarised, without the drudgery of an entire reperusil. Need the question then be asked, which cf the two will make the greatest improvement, the one practising this plan, or the one neglerting it? The result is too obvious to demand a question, or merit a reply. The following pages mav be looked upon as the brief notes of out practising upou this plan they present a variety of prominent facts and dates, that cannot fail to call up much other valuable matter not expressed, which, but for these notes could never be recalled by human memory. It i only necessary, then, to go one step futther. andnrenareakevtnthenlarMinok thus constructed; and all the reading; of a long life may be referred to as easily as the merchant refers to items of debit and cre dit in his leger. by the aid cf his alphabet, journal, day book, &c.

To secure a sufficient quantity ef original mattkh, and to enable men of talent to prosecute their labours with success, & ccnti ibute to advance the literature and science of our own country the publisher gives a compensation to his correspondents, commensurate to the support he receives.
