' FROM THE coLU:uniAN REGISTER.
CHARLES F A FACT.
(coucLUni-:n.)
Mr. M. was bred to the profession ofa mer-
chant; in which he was so successful that in a
few years he acquired a large fortniie, which
added to the estate be inherited from his fa-
ther, made him one of the most opulent men
in that region. He possessed a vigorous mind,
which had been highly cultivated by educa-
tion, and enlarged by much intercourse with
the world. His easy manners and generous
disposition made him the brightest ornament
of the circle in which he moved, and gained
him numerous friends. His benevolence was
as extensive as his wealth. No call was ever
made upon his charity, which tended to ame-
liorate the condition ofhis fellow men, in vain.
He had now retired from active business to
spend the evening ofhis days in the enjoyment
of domestic life, and in doing good to those
around him. He had been early united in
marriage to Mrs. M—, and found in her an a-
greeable companion, and faithful friend.
Aurelia was their only child, and, ofcourse,
the darling object of their affections: but she
had not been spoiled by over-much fondness
and indulgence. She was now in her 20th
year, and in the full bloom of innocence and
loveliness. To the sweetest _natural disposi-
tion, she united uncommon powers, both of
genius and understanding: these her father
spared no pains to cultivate and improve. Her
character was marked with finished consisten-
cy. .. It was highly polished and delicate, yet
it bad no false varnish. Her affections were
warm and active, but silent. But what added‘
still greater lusiie to her character, washer
ardent piety. I Sncli was her humility that it
was both easy and pleasant for her to do the
meanest ofiices of kindness, and she seemed
peculiarly happy when she could be ofservice
to her fellow-creatures: "
Such was the family to which it was the
happiness of Charles to be introduced. He
had now fora week been aispectator of the
peace and harmony ofits members, and even
this short residence seemed to have identified
his interest with theirs. Mr. and Mrs. M-
had treated him with all the disinterestedness
of parents; he had toward them all the res-
pect and affectioii of a child. But he felt that
his object in going to the South, was not so
3
". much to taste the sweets of friendship as to
‘obtain pecuniary aid, whereby he might pro-
‘secute his professional studies. Besides, he
found that the amiable Aurelia was making
greater impressions upon his affections, than
his station in life would allow him to indulge
with any hope ofrcciprocation. He felt, there-
fore, that he must break away from those en-
dearing attachments, that would gladly detain
him, and fulfil the object for which he had
' coine thither. His resolution seemed to sur-
rize his kind friends ; as though it had never
occurred to their minds that he could ever
eave them : but they were not so unreasonable
as to oppose their wishes to his duty. I
Before his departure, Mr. M—-. gave Charles
a letter of introduction to a gentleman, resid-
ing in a neighboring ‘town, about ten miles
distant. In that town was an Academy, which,
'Mr.~M-— believed, was then vacant, and ad-
vised Charlcs of offer himself as the,Precep-‘-
'~‘-"tor. ~‘-Wehave been,h_appily introduced to
each other,’ continued "Mr. M—-_-‘, ‘and we‘
hope that a lasting friendship has commenced
between us- Let us have 'as1r'nuch_,of'yonr
company -as will be”consistentwith ‘your avo-
_ cations, and assure yourself ofour cordial ‘at-
tachment.’ Charles thanked him for his kind-
ness and felt that he owed him a debt ofgrat-
i.tu_ I which he could never repay.
On leaving this interesting family, Charles
felt that he had exclianged the warm embra-
ces of friendship for the chilling indifference
' of selfishness. ‘ Such a family,’ said he as he
travelled on, ‘appears amid a selfish world,
like those verdant spots which are sonietiines
seen on the immense sandy desarts of Africa,
to gladden the eye ofthe parched tr-.iveller——
‘us like the rose blooiningamid the briars and
thorns ofthe wilderness.’ ‘
Mr. M—— had perhaps never received into
his family one whose taste and disposition so
perfectly accorded with his own. The pre-
sence of Charles always animated conversa-
tion, and diffused a clieei'fulness over every
countenance. His easy manners, and exten-
sive knowledge of human nature, gained him
a ready admission into the first society,‘and
secured the esteem of all his acquaintaiice.—
There was a striking contrast between the
disposition ofCliarles and the gentry oftliat
region. The vacanthours of those who pos-
sess real refinement and delicacy of iniud, are
improved by informing the taste,and enliven-
ed by imagination .; but with those of the op-
posite character, pleasure generally degene-
rates into grossriess; joviality into inteinper—
ance;-‘ind mirth into riot. With a few excep-
tions, this latter cliaracter might, with pro-
priety, be applied to those whom we have con-
trasted with Charles. No wonder then that
Mr. M—’s family should feel a peculiar at-
tachment to liim—no wonder that, to one so’
mild and amiable as Aurelia, in her disposi-
lion, the manners of the one were as disgust-
ing as those ofthe oilicr were pleasing.
Charles delivered his letter to the gentle-
man to whom it was addressed, and offered
himself as the Instructor of the Academy in
that town. On reading the letter, the gentle-
man told him that he was already engaged,
and might commence as soon as he chose.-
‘ By whom have I been engaged ?’ asked
Charles. »‘ Mr. M——-,’ replied the gelllletl-till),
‘ states in this letter that he has engaged you
as the Instructor of this Academy, for 1000
dollars annually. He is the principal Trus-
tee of this Academy, and has power to appoint
all its officcrs. lftherefore, you are disposed
to comply with the terms here stated, you are
authorized, without further ceremony, to take
upon you the government and instruction of
this Seminary, and to expect the efficient sup-
port of all the Trustees, in any ineasnre you
may adopt to promote its interests.’ On this
information, Charles felt that there would be
no end to his siirprize, so long as he was with-
in the reach of Mr. M——-’s generosity.
He entered upon the duties of his office in
the spring of 189.0, under favorable auspices.
He was abundantly qualified for his new sta-
tion both by nature and art. Under his gov-
ernment and instruction, the Academy flour-
ished beyond what it had done at any f‘:'mer
period——ihe number of its members increas-
ing from 100 to 250. Here he continued dur-
ing the space of two years. At the expiration
of this time, he resigned his charge much a-
gainst the wishes of the students and Trus-
tees, who made every effort to detain him ;
but he felt it to be his imperious duty to enter
upon a course of study with a view to his fu-
ture profession.
Cliarles had spent his vacations with Mr.
l\'I-—-. In the midst ofso much peace, happi-
ness and refiueuient, so congenial to the feel-
ings of Cliarles,,liis time must have passed a-
way pleasantly and usefully. In Aurelia, he
found the same engaging manners, the same
amiable disposition, and the same ardent pie-
ty that marked her character at his first ac-
quaintance with her; and during each suc-
cessive day, ‘-
‘Her ri'sing' beauti'es_/lushld a higher bloom.’
He could not look upon so much excellence
without emotion. His was a true affection,
founded on the sacred principles of virtue and
honor ;and consequently, would flourish when
age had marred the beauty, and blighted the
loveliness, that first excited it. But such
was the disparity of their fortunes and pros-
pects, that his mind was filled with forebod-
ing fears, and distrustfiil apprehensions,when-
ever he thought of declaring his passion. A
lover is never under greater difficulty in act-
ing, or more at a loss for expression, than
when his affections are sincere and his inten-
tions honourable. ‘ It cannot be,’ thought
Charles, ‘ that I shall ever call so much ex-
cellence mine: she, who would be the bright-
est ornament in the palace of a prince, ought
never to be allied to one so humble as myself.’
But in this particular he had formed a wrong
conclusion in regard to Aurelia’s' disposition.
She did not seek for happiness from the ap-
plaiise ofthe great, or from the smiles of the
powerful; but she sought it amid the quiet
scenes of domestic life. In Charles, she dis-
covered a disposition congenial to her own :
and from a connection with such an one, she
expected happiness. At first, she felt coin-
passion for his sufferings-—then esteem for his
worth. In short, there existed between them
a virtuous attacliment, founded on a similar-
ity of feeling. I
Charles was now at Mr. M——’s, on his way
to Massachusetts, and was expecting soon to
take his leave of this excellent family. The
thought of aseparation from one to whom
they felt so peculiarly attached, was indeed
painful to Mr. and Mrs. M——-,' but there was
one, who, though she might say less, felt
more. At, length, the _morning arrived that
was to separate tliem—perhaps forever. E_ve-
ry necessary preparation had been made for
his departui-e——the carriage that was to con-
vey him from their sight, was in readiness at
the door——and the family stood waiting to give
the parting hand. It was «a moment of pain-
ful suspense. He saw Aurelia before him in
all the loveliness of -innocence—-the big tear
quivering in her eye—a paleness spread over
her countenance. Such eloquenceiwas irre-
sistible. He tetires withlier into an adjoin-
ing rooin-—-declares his infection for her-
and treinblingly asks, whether that affection
is reciprocal.—— .
‘ Won by the charm qf goodness irresistible,

preceded it. "My ‘schools and my system of

were rapidly diminishing ; while, on the con-
trary, with our neighbours in England, they
have been increasing to a frightful degree.-
This alone is’ sufficient to enable one to form
a decisive judgment of the respective govern-
ments. Look at the United States, where
without any ‘apparent force or effort, every
thing goes on prosperously, every oii_e is happy
and contented; and this is because the pub-
lic wishes and interests are, in fact, the ruling
power. Place the same government at vari-
ance with the-will and interests ofits inhabit-
ants, and you would soon see what disturbance,
trouble, and confusion, and above all, what an
increase of crimes would ensue.
‘ Wlieu I acquired the supreme direction of
affairs, it, was wished that [might become a
Washington. Vi/ords» cost nothing; and no
doubt those who were so ready to express the
wish, did so, without any knowledge oftimes,
places, persons, or things. Had I been in A-
merica, I would willingly have been 21 Wash-
ington, and Ishould -have had little merit in
so being, for I do not see how I could reason-
ably have acted otherwise. But, had Wash-
ington been in France, exposed to discord
within, and invasion from without, I would
have defied him to have been what he was in
America; at least, he would have been a fool
10 attemphit, and would have prolonged the
existence ofevil, For my own part, I could
only have been .1, crowned Washington. It
was only in :1 Congress ofKings, in the midst
0fKings yielding or subdued ; that I could be-
come so, There, and there alone, Icould
successfully display Washington’s moderation,
disinterestedness, and Wisdom. I could not
reasonably d o this,hut by means ofthe univer-
sal tlictalor.shi'p. To this I aspired ; can this
be thought a crime ? Can it be believed, that
to resign this authority, would have been be-
yond the power ofhuman nature? Sylla, glut-
ted with crimes, dared to abdicate, pursued by
human execration! What motive could have
checked me, who would have been followed
only by blessings? But it remained for me to
conquer at Moscow. How many will here-
after regret my disasters and my fall ! But to
require prematurely of me that sacrifice, for
which the time had not arrived, was a vulgar
absurdity: thatwas not my way. I repeat, it
remained for me to conquer at Moscow 1’
WEST FLORIDA.
The following brief political view of West
Florida is from Vignoles’ late work.
‘ West Florida has been gradually. pared
down to the present remnant. The large por-
tions of country which have successively fal-
len to the share of Louisiana, Mississippi,and
Alabama, have left but a iiarroiv strip ofland
between the Perdido and Apalchicola rivers ;
and deprived of its original ports ofNew-Or-
leans and Mobile, Vi/est Florida must, like
Poland, be distributed among the adjoining
States; it will disappear froui the map of A-
merica by the ultimate annexation of Pensa-
cola and the remaining portion ofterritory to
Alabama--a step called for by reason and
policy. That _sucb a course must be highly
desirable for East Florida, will be readily ac-
knowledged on a consideration ofthe subject;
and it can easily be conceded, that it will not,
in any wise, interfere with the national ques-
tion of the entrance of another state into the
Union. From their more geograpliicaljuxta-
position, East and VVest Florida have been
considered by those at a distance as integral-
ly united. That this is by no means the case
is but too well known to their inhabitants: for,
so dissimilar are their opinions, that, even in
this early stage oftheir independent existence,
dissensions and discordance have sprung up,
which a separate administration, instead of
conciliating, appears rtither to have tended to
foster; and the dispute as to the seat of terri-
torial government has already assumed a de-
cided shape. . ' _
‘The eligible intended location ofthe Flori-
da Indiaiis, between the Apalachicola and Su-
wanee rivers, will, in addition to the present
obstrticted communication, place an Indian
country between East and West Florida, and
consummate the separation, which will then
only want the fiat,ofCongress to render it po-
litically permanent.
‘ The annexation of Vifest Florida to Ala-
bama will not add another representative in
Congress to the latter cominonwealtli: nor
will it prevent Florida from assuming its place
in the Federal Union, in due time, by ab-
stracting much population ; for it is towards
East Florida alone. that the great mass ofem-
igration will"roll. jTlie warmer latitudes Of
the peninsula hold out attractions ofnioi*e lu-
crative productions _than West Florida-—that
country not extending beyond-‘the parallel al-
ready tried by our citizens, cannot present at-
tractions superior to, the region between Lake
Borgiie and Mobile, where is found a soil at
all events equal to any in'West Florida.’
iui.\'is'r1~:ruAL VISITATION.
The following outline ofa communication
which appeared in the Boston Recorder is ta-
ken from the Christian Mirror.
In a distant town in N\ew-England, a re-
spectable and hopefully pious lady called on
her minister. She took occasion to complain
that he seldom visited her family, and that oth-
ers made the same complaint. In short, she
plainly told him,’ she thought he might and
ought to visit his people more. The good man
made a short, but meek reply,aiid begged her
prayers that he might be» more diligent and
faithful. ; '
The conversation then shifted; andthe af-
ternoon was spent very pleasantly and profit-
ably. The minister however relatcd the fol-
lowing anecdote. A wealthy farmer in one
of the middle states contracted with :1 poor la-
bourer whom he_had often hired, to do several
days’. work work for him in a field equally dis-
tant from the poor man’s house and his own,
and considerably distant from each. The la-
bourer was to commence his work at the ris-
ing of the sun, and expected of course that
meals would be sent him according to custom.
Towards the close of tlie_day, the farmer
mutual in_struction are preparing generations-
‘incredible.
visited his field, and found his ‘labourer sitting
and musing under a ti'ee.‘_—I-Ie liasti_ly. repr'ov-
ed him for lllS_l_;(,lleneSS,‘,all(I complained-.tlia't
he had not done half-so much ashhe-;expec'ted,
Thclabonrerinfo:-medghiiilt that he‘. ti ad-work-5
ed till very ,late‘in,..tl'ie iiiojrning, but no brealg-
f,ast_was.sent. , Being very .,faint,-lie-went't'o a
V neighborand bo1"rofoedfin’oney, to pi-ocurea
breakfast at _tlie’public house : He then labor-
ed till late dinner time, andindeed till he was
exhausted, and had been sitting an hour under
the tree meditating what to do. He did not
like to borrow again, till he had paid what-he
now owed. He darediiot call on strabgers.
At the tavern poor. peopl_e'could- obtain no
credit. And if he went home, he must take
b_read outqofthe mouths ofhis childreii._ Be-
sides, the farmer already owed him for several
days’ work, on an old score, whichhe had re-
ally needed. The farmer recalled his com-
plaint; paid his arrearages, and for several
days in advance; said his own family must
have forgotten to send his meals, which he re-
ally supposcd had been sent; promised his
family a quarter of veal ; and acknowledged
that the labourer is worthy of his hire. The
labourer now fulfilled his duty piinctiially- and
joyfully; and the farmer continued to hire
him, and to send his meals; and sometimes
to pay him a little in advance to prevent his
running into debt.
I The good lady was pleased with the story ;
but did not dream of its application, till it re-
curred to her mind at a wakeful midnight
l1°“l'- . She awoke her husband, told him the
story, and eagerly inquired ifhe had paid the
minister for the year almost closed? Why, no
he believed not. The collector had not called.
He did not know that the taxes were even as-
sessed. Indeed, now he thought ofit, the sal-
ary was not yet voted.——-How then has he liv-
ed, and provided for his family, without means?
He has no property, is in debt for his educa-
tion, lias a large family, and expensive com-
pany. How does he live? lVhy, by borrow-
ing money, I suppose, and getting credit.-
Tlie lady saw at once that her minister must
labour under very disheartening embarrass-
ments, and no longer wondered that he could
-find no more time for visiting, being punctual
in all other duties. She remarked to her hus-
band, we do not treat our worthy minister so
well as we do the men who labour in our field
and ii ho in many cases are wicked men. ‘V6
pay them punctually, often in advance; and
always provide their meals in due season. But
while our minister is labouring in theyineyard,
we do not even give him his meals. ,
The next morning the husband repaired to
his minister, paid him $20, and took an order
on the treasurer. Nor did he fail to carry
him also a quarter ofa fated calf,a good cheese,
and a few pounds of butter, as a present from
his wife, who bade him thank her minister for
his story, and recal her complaint. Her lins-
band was a man ofinfluence, and by theirjoint
exertions they soon brought others to feel and
to act with the same becoming promptness.-—
The minister’s salary has ever since been paid
as fast as he has needed it; accompanied by
many. little presents, useful to him, and grate-
ful exprcssions of the love and esteem of his
people. He feels his obligations to a kind,
generous, and punctual people. His people
have considered their laborer worthy of his
hire. He, in return has been faithful and de-
voted all his tiuie to their good. ‘ The Spirit
from on high Iias been poured upon them; ma-
ny sinners havebeen converted, and a declin-
ing church greatly enlargbd. The niinister’s
salary has been raised; and he is so far freed
from his embarrassments,as not only to preach
benevolence, but to set a good practical exam-
ple of doing good.
flviiecdote of Lord .N'orth.—While he was
engaged in discussing one of the most serious
points of a question under examination, a
dog, who had concealed himselfunder theta-
ble ofthe house of commons, made his escape
and ran directly across the floor, setting tip at
the same tim a violent howl. It occasioned a
burst oflangh er,and might have disconcerted
an ordinary man. But he who knew how to
convert the most awkward occurrences to pur-
poses.of advantage, having waited till the roar
had subsided, and preserving all his gravity,
said to the speaker, ‘ sir, I have been inter-.
rupted by a new member, not acquainted with
the forms of the house. I therefore yield to
him ; but as he has"concluded his argumentl
shall resume mine.’—Wra2:all. '
The new Printing apparatus.——Dr. Church
is now at Birmingham, preparing his new
Printing-Press. The coinpositor has only to
set down at this ciirions piece ofmechanism
as he would at a piano-forte, and as he strikes
the keys, thetypes all fall from the case into
their proper places with a velocity that keeps
pace with the most ra pi_il speaker. The form
having been worked off, the type moves into
the melting pot, from which it is returned re-
cast in its original state, without any diminu-
tion of material and thence distributed into
the case quite new. One of these cases pla-
ced at the bar of the house ofCoinmons,would
always insure a correct report of the debate.
Dr. Church the inventor, is a native of Bos-
ton, in N. England.—London pa. March 52.
CURIOUS MANuscntr'r.—Tlie public has
been much amused oflate, with an account of
the discovery of a curious manuscript at De-
troit, which iiot _a little puzzled the learned.
It was determined that it was not Chinese, A-
rabic, Syriac—-Frencb, Spanish‘ or English,
&tc. but what it was no one could tell. Four
pages ofthe book being sent to major general
Maconib, at ‘Washington, he submitted it to
the examination ofthe professors of George-
town college, where it has been discovered to
be Irish, and, with a few exceptions, ‘truly
classical.’ Some ‘strange abbreviations’ make
it difficult to unravel it, but a part has been
translated, and it is evidently a treatise on
some ofthe doctrines of the catholic church.

Tenacity of life in 'insects.——Mr. Bedome,
an English Chemist, states, that in boiling
some hives which contained a large‘qnantity
of honey in its natural state, he observed some
bees floating on the surface ofthe water ; and
that within halfan hour, after exposing them
to a meridian summer sun, they came to life
and flew away, although they had been suffo-
cated, frozea-and boiled. This seemsalmost
But the vitality ofinsectsis won-
derful and known. Some will live deprived
of their heads and intestines; some, in alco-
hol ; some, in boiling springs ; and almost all
will sleep quite comfortably in their icy, beds
through the winter.
