'Mv children." i the handsome Queen, Nut e'en this We i always green; The brightest skv with clouds if fleckered, And marriage is at best hut t hcquered: l$ow let your busv wings be furled. And list to one who know s the world. The blushes. Psyche, in those cheeks Have had their spell four charming weeks; And my wild son has worn your chaini Four times as long a mortal swains, And both you pretty idiots think The cyeof loe will never wink! Hut listen. Psyche if youM keep That love from falling fist asleep; Watch the first rising of the awn, Ant', whether night nrno'-.n. be gnc; Disdain to talk of wrongs and rights. The wife's long catalogue ot slights; Let mortal spouses scold or pout Their breath but Wows the taper out. Be wiser, girl, laugh, look sublime; (I've had some husband in my time.) fiive hints that two cm think of treason, (Love never yet had brains for reason) And, though you went to eery star JJow beaming rout d the evening's car; And though the midnight heard your sighs. , Show but -me tear, the husband flies. AVith answering scorn the truant meet The penitrat is at vour feet, Implores the h.nd the n istress gave And lives the wife's eternal slave. i ;;ni3. iWeccUAueoiio. Gumttion. This is a fi:ic old Scotch word, riot generally tube found in the dic tionaries, though it is worthy of a place in the best. It has a great deal of mean ing in it, and often expresses what nothing else ran. When I see a girl reject the addresses of a respectable young man, w ho, owns a jrood farm, gnes to meeting, and pays his debts; for one who wears a dickey, visits the theatre, and spends his muey faster than he earns it, 1 think to mysyelf she has not much gumption. When I see a young mechanic who wants a good wife, that can make a pudding, spit a turkey, and nurse his babies, daoirHnir ftfter a piece of atTecta; ion, because she has been to a dancing school and can play on a piano, I guess he has not much gumption. Wheiilseea farmer paying taxes fr twenty acres of land, hall-fenced and hulltilled, when he migh raise more on six acres under go d cultivation, I coneulde he lb not overstocked with gumption. When I see a m-in whw has a good business, sufficient t support his family respectably, neglecting his affairs, and running into debt, in order to obtain a poll tical office, I fancy that, whatever may be his talents, he is not burdened with gumption. When I see a man calling his boys from school, and spending two hours every af temoon for a month, to tar his trees, that the canker-worm may not ascend them, when he migt etfect a remedy in a single i day, by exchanging the earth tor three feet around ihem, I conclude that he has more industry than gumption. When I see a man purchasing three cords of wood for the winter, when, by lat his doors, and mending a broken pane, he rnl,rni save inum mtm, a uiiim iw uas uuv i . .1 . !( ,. - IHl-e guinpnoii.

When I see a man attending diligently to his own concerns; sending his children to school, paving his debts, and keeping clear of law suits, quarrels, and politics, I set him down as a man possessing a reas-onat-le share, of gumption. -Whc I see a woman mending her children's clothes, and receiving her husband with affection, I coneh ue that she has no ordinary share of gumption. In fine, when I see a man who deals justly, loves mercy, walks humbly, and pays lor his newspaper, I conclude that of all others in this world he possesses tLe greatest portion of gumption. Truth is Power. -Some men say lhat 'wealth i power, and some, that 'knowledge is power; above them all, I iild aMMi thai 'iruth is power Wealth cannot overreach authority cannot silence her; they all, like Feiix, tremble at her presence.

Oue that is perfectly idle is perfectly weary too, and knows uot what ho would have or do. Over doing is doing nothing to the purpose. A country man a short time ago, on being liberated from St. Augustine's jail, walked into a neighboring ale-house, and aked for a pint of beer, informed the land. but if he would furnish ihe supply he woulc tell him something greatly to his advant age.

VALIANT was selected from a multi tude, in thc vicinity of Gallatin, Tennessee, which is emphatically thc land of fine horses in the wont; he is fifteen hands three inches high, fur years old last spring ; a rich lay, with blacklegs; his highly tin great strength of shoulders & body, round hips and tapering thighs, broad hms and flat bony legs, must be an acquisition to Indiana. As such, he is offered to the public as a breeding stallion. Al though his racing fame is not on the wing of cverv breeze, still he has alwavs kept good company, being beaten only in two public exhibitions, three mile heats; he then led the field more than two-thirds the distance, then gave place to a half sister in one instance, and a cousin in the other. He was the contending horso on both occasions, and for both heats, and on ly beaten a few feet in both cases; he at the same time beating a field of reputed good racers, Stockholders, Timcleons, &,c It will be perceived Ivy reference to the certificate of pedigree that this young horse has two crosses f col. Elliott's old Top Gallaut,a son of Gallatin, by the im ported Bedtord; his dam being by Top Gallant, his grand dam also, which was the dam of Tonson, Richard, Henry and Champion. I would say to all well wishers ot tnis brancn ot internal improve ment, come and see this beautiful young Stallion, if you cannot come, send your mares, and thus prove vour thcorv bv practive. J. Y. WELBORN. Mt. Vernon, Ia. Feb. 15, 1S31. G-lOt PEDIGREE. We do cenify, that VALIANT was got by tne noted race horse Sir Richard, he by Pacolet, Pacolet by the imported horse Citizen, he bv Pacolet ol England, he by Blank, and he by Godolphin Arabian. Citizen's dam Princess, by Turk, he by Kegulus, and h bv Godolphin Arabian. His grand dam, Fairy Queen, by Young Cade, he by old Cade, and he by thc Go dolphin Arabian. His great grand dam, Rn b, Hin,b PlM "rw. .r.iw! Ruth's Black Eyes, by Crab, out of the HarlocK Galloway, by Snake, Ball Gal loway, Curwairs Bay Barb. Pacolet's dam, col. Epp's gray mare, by TippooSaib. She was also the dam of several fine horses, among them was Palafox, Willi's Wonder, &.c. Pacolets grand dam, by Brimmer, he by the imported horse Vauant, &c. His great gr. dam, by Babraham, his great, great, gr. dam, by the imported horse Jolly Roger. Sir Richard's dam, Madam Tonson, by Tup Gallant; ho by Gallatin, he by thc imported horse Bedford, out of an imported mare by Membriuo, Bedford by Dunganuon, one f thtf best sons of the celebrated English Eclipse. The dam of Top-Gallant, by Wild Air, he by Fearnought, he by Regulus, and he by the Godolphin Arabian. The dam of Wild Air, by Jolly, out of thc imported mare Kitty Fisher, Scc. 6cc. Thus it is evident that Sir Richard has descended from the most valuable blood stock, including that of Citizen, Gallatin, Medley, Wild Air, Fearnought, Jolly Roger, Valiant, Old Partner, &c; and goes directly back in all his crosses to the most approved blood in England; particu larly to that of the Godolphin Arabian, of which celebrated horse he partakes ol more than a dozen different crosses. Sir Richard's racing fame has never been tarnished by defeat, though he has run many races, and is said by his keeper never to have been put to the top of his speed. VALIANT'S dam was got by col. Elliott's Top Gallant, a son of Gallatin, her dam by Andrew Jackson's old Truxton, son of the imported Diomed, bar grand dam by Turk, a son of Dr. Barry's GrayMedley, her great gr. dam by Reuben Cages's ch. stall ion Rinaldo, a son of Dawson's Mouse Trap, a son of the imported Mouse Trap, her great, great, gr. dam, byWild Air She was esteemed one of the best mares in tht country at that day. Thc Truxton mare was esteemed of equal value to Madam Tonson. The Top Gallant mare was valuable, having produced many good foals, among them VALIANT, above described.
