“ THE SAFE SIDE or THE HEDGE.”
You have often heard old people tal_k of
on Keeping on the safe side Q/'1/ic 1-It-'zt'ge,” it is
one oftlie old fasliioned uiaxiins,ioiig known,
and but little understood, or practised in the
world. I was reminded the other day oftliis
c-ld niaxitn, by rather a whimsical incident. I
rode over in the morning to the vendue at the
Cliesnut Hill place,whcre all thepeople round
tad collected to purchase bargains and talk
over the affairs of the neighborhood. When
I reached the house, the people hadjust re-
turned from the meadow, wlic-re the cricr had
been selling off some stock, and old‘ severity-
six John, the weaver, from over the ereek,had
got into a cart, and, with his hat off, was ma-
king :1 speech to the people after the uianiier,
I suppose, of Poor Ricliard.-——He had told
them aniong other things, it seems, that they
should “ Kcep on the safe side q/‘(lie l1'r.dgc;”
and some wag, to,lengtlieu out the scene, had
just inquired what that meant, as I came up.
" Do you see,” said the old_ veteran, twisting
hisclicw oftobacco three or four times round,
“ Do you see, there’s Dick Donothing, who
bought a barrel and a lialfof old whiskey this
morning, and gave his note for it, as he had’nt
the inmiey to pay—-I doti’t say he keeps on
the right side ofihe Hodge; and tliere’s Tom
T,-ugiall, who went liiss‘eciirity on the iiote,l
don’t say he keeps on the safe side—t5L therc’s”
-—But answer the question said half a dozen
voices—(no't knowing whose turn might come
-ncxt)——“ What’s keeping on the safe side?”
“ Why, do you see Sam Steady there,” repli-
ed John, “driving home two fine niilcli cows,
which he bought low, paid the money lor,aiid
will make a tiice penny out of——he has kept
on the safe side of the Hcdge.—It means, at
venilues, tobuy only what you want-—what
you eati get at a reasonable price ; and what
you can pay for.” The people all clapped
hands, and the old man kept liiinselfon the
safe side, by ending-his speech when he was
done, and while the current ran in his favor.
-There appeared to me to be a good deal of
pith in what the old man said. I have often
thought ofit sincc—-and I believe the maxim,
might be profitably applied to nunibcrless ca-
ses—fer instance—-
Tlie -man who becomes an indorser or a
suretyifor another, except under very peculiar
circumstances-—gets on thewrongside of the
Hedge-’—-and on a very dangerous one too,’
from wliicli ten chances to one, ' he does not:
escape with whole bones. ‘
The man who stands waitiug,with his hands
in his pockets for a windfall, or the death of
a relation ; who l‘lef__'l(:'ClS providing himself
with slioes,in hopes of wearing other people’s
has got on the wrong side ofthe Hedge, and
will in all probability stand till he sticks fast
there.
5 Many people who have sold fast estates in
this‘ country and gone to hunt a better living
abroad, have travelled all the way on a slippe-
ry Side Of the Hedge; and four out offive of
them fell inthe dirt ere they got back.
But I-. have not room to enlarge; nor is it
necessary, as every one who reads may make
his own additions, inferences and continents.

A SINGULAR TALE.
IVe are about to indulge our readers with
very singular, buta very true relation of an
atfair,.wliicli happened some years since in
one-of the French provinces.
A man of fashion and-wealth paidliis ad-
dresses to ayoung lady of beauty, rank and
rlistingiiislied merit. As there was a parity
in years, in fortune, and in situation, the lady
received‘ her gallantwitli the custoiuary con.
desceusion l_'en'iales seldom withheld from
those whom they are taught to pronounce up-,
on an equality with themselves. The parents
of the young lad-y, however, from some mot-
ive, disapproved ofthe match. T.he gentle-
man pleaded, but in vain ; and find_iiig it im-
possible toovercouie the aged obstiiiacy of
the parents, lie;resolvcd,to solicit his charm-
ei"’s consentto enter into the holy bands ‘of
n'1atriniony, witliout any farther consultation
with the parents, who seemed resoliitely to
persist in‘ denial: Having fully explained
hiniselfon this head, the young lady after re-
covering from the cotifusion, whieli on these
occasions is visible among the virgin fair, con-
sented to beco.ne his wife. They. were wed-
ded, aiid the marriage kept a profound secret.
It happened after a few years had elapsed,
that the husband was obliged to leave his
lovely bride, being called into a foreign coun-
try iii orderto adjust some affairs which re-
quired his immediate presence.‘ The necessi-
ty was no less urgent than disagreeable to
both parties—liowever they permitted their
good sense to operate, and after vowing itin-
ttial affection and fidelity, parted in certain
expectation ofseeiug each other, at a time
when such an alteration should take place =_1S
might afford them an opporttitiitypfliviiig in
a manner every way becoming a virtuous and
happy wedded pail‘.
For sometime they corresponded; but the
htisband being obliged to cross several tem-
pestuous seas, did not receive,such frequent
answers to his epistles as he had reason to ex-
pect. This be attributed to a distance of cli-
mate, renderiug a regular correspondence al-
together impracticable, and as he imagined
his letters had been niiscarried, he resolved tor
tlie present to desist from writing, not relish-
ing to have his sentiments canvassed over by
itidifi'erei‘.t strangers, or perliap-s captions ene-
mies. Another reason which induced him to
lay aside for the present all thoughts ofc0ii-
~ tiniiing an epistolary correspondence was the
prospect he had ofsliortly returning to France,
where the presence of his amiable consort
would infinitely exceed all ideal interviews,
and make ample amends for all the pangs his
heart had undergone. It is now tiuie that we
should return to his lady.
As she possessed a considerable share of
youth and beauty, it is not supposed that she
could remain without a train of adinirers.—
Her parents, who never dreamed about their
dauglitei-’spreviotis niarriage, became more
anxious to select a person whose iiietital and
personal endowments, might, in their own es-
timation,renderhim worthy oftlieir favorite
datightcr’s han_d and heart.
Several years had now rolled on, without
tlielady’s hearing a syllable from her real
husband. At length the fatal news arrived
that he was no ninre. ‘
" The lady was inconsolable—but she found
it prudent to stifle lier griefs, that she _miglit
, not excite the smallest degree ofstispiciori.-—
When she had paid every tribute coiisistetit
with reflection to the memory of her departed
lord, a gentleman was proposed by her pa-
rents for her approbation, and the good old
people were so prejudiced in favor oftlie per-
son whom they had chosen, they gave the
daughter to understand that. their happiness
dopeiided on her compliance.
The young lady, who thought herself en-I
tirely at liberty to commit a second trespass
upon llynien, after some little hesitation con-
sented. The nuptials were celebrated ; the
lady if not happy, was placid, and serenely
content--the parents were delight ed, and the
bridegrrioni was em'aptiired, all were jocuntl,
and all were happy. For four years this new-
ly niarried couple lived in complete harmony,
l)lll. at length an iutermittiug fever seized the
lady: the physicians were baflcd, and she, to
all appear-aiices, paid the debt due to nature.
She was buried with pomp, and all reverence
shown to her memory the ctistoiii of the coun-
try would admit of.
During her illness, her former liiishaiid,
whom we left abroad, had returned, aiid_ after
making the necessary inquiries, was informed
of every circunistance we have related above.
Ashe was unwilling to surprize her while"
she was couibatted with sickness, he had em-
ployed a trusty person to make him acquaint-
ed with each particular of her case——aud the
very inonieiitthe news of her death reached
his ear, he was seized with a_fraiitic wildness
within his soul, and he resolved to receive no
sustenance, but to bury himself among the
mould which lay lightly on her breast, and
thus pine out the reiiiaiiiing period ofhis ex-
istence. Full ofthis resolution, be repaired
the night she was buried to her tomb, and af-
ter digging tip the earth, discovered her cof-
fin. fetched a deep’ sigh, and was about to
stretch his wearicd liiiibs,wlien‘to his conster-
nation, astouislimcnt,and affriglit, he perceiv-
ed signs oflife. He tore open the coffin, and
found it even as he had suspected. His wife
was almost suffocated. I-Ie snatched her up
in his arms, conveyeci her to the liouscv ofa
neighbor, had her put into a warm bed, and
in a few weeks she was perfectly restored to
life and tolerable health. ' 1
As she had a real affection for her first hiis-
batid she made no scruple in choosing him for
her couipanion—but the affair soon made a
prodigious noise throughout the country, the
‘second liusbaud, who also doated on .herto
distraction, no sooner was he informed oftlie
part_ici.ilars, than he attempted to force her to
live with him. The prior clainiant as reso-
lutely persisted in keeping her to liimsélf.—-’
In short, a law suit was commenced, and the
most learned advocates in France were eni-
ployed; a redundancy of erutlition was dis-
played, and after bcitig litigated for a length
ofiime, a solemn decision was tirade in favor
of the former liusbaiid.
ELEGANT E.‘L'1'RACT---F1'01n Tales of a
Traveller, Purl II, by George Wasliingtoit Ir-
tiing.-——Alzis! how little do we appreciate a
mother’s tenderness while living! How heed-
less are we, in yotiih, of all her anxieties and
kindness. But when she is dead and gone-
wlien the cares and-coldness of the world
come withering -to our liearts; when we find
how hard it is to find true sympathy, how few
love-us for ourselves,_liow few will liefrieiid us
in otir misfortunes; then it is that we think of
the mother we have lost. It is true "I had al-
ways loved my ino_tlier,even in my tiiost heed-
less days; but I felt -how inconsiderate and
.ineli"ectual had been my love. My li_eartiiicl-
terl as I retraced the days efinfancy, when I
was led by a Ii‘t0lllel"S hand, and rocked to
sleep in a iriother’s arms, and was without
.car‘c_or sorrow.’ “ Oh, niyiiiotliei-,” exclaim-
cd I,’ burying my face again in the grass of
lhe gt‘ave—-“ Oh, tliatI were once more by
your side; sleeping, never to wake again, on
the cares and troubles of this world !”

in the. strongest ’manner._in their power _the_i_r
reverence‘ for the character of one oftlie few
-white’ men who Iiave treated tl_ieir.,_race with
humanity. It was not an exhibition got up
for effcc; ;'.,-it was the result ofa burst offeel-
iug—-of a deeply ‘implanted feeling, which
time nor distance had been able to eradicate.
It had descended from father to son,liad been
cherished in the western wilds, and evinced
itselfin the mid_st of civilized society, by the
strongest of natural signs for reverence. i

Vampgre ofllze ocemi.—An intlividualof
that singular species of fish, called by the in_-
habitants oftlie Sea Island of Georgia, Devil
Fi'sh,and probably the Vatnpyre of Dr.Mitcli-
ell, was taken on the l7tl-i inst in the river
which batlies the southern shores oflVilniing-
ton Island, ten miles froui Savannah. He was
liarpooned by Mr. C. Jones, of Wilmington,
and was subsequently dragged on shore and
shot. 'I‘he day after, he was towed tip to
Tluinderbolt, for the purpose of exliibition,but
unfortuiiately in this passage, he was;preyed
upon by the sharks, who destroyed the tail and
part oftlie body. We took the dinieusions
of what retnained, which were as follows :-
Breatltli between the ends of the lateral fins
14 feet; length, excltisive of the part ate otftl
feet; length oflateral fins or wings, 5 feet ;—
lengtli ofanterior fins or feelers, 1 ft. 6 in.
The presence of this fish in our waters is a
source ofgreat terror to the fishermen, who
have sometimes their anchors taken off, or
their boats carried away with great velocity
for miles, or upset and sunk. This is perfor-
med by means of the anterior fins. A gen-
tleman on a fishing excursion in a small ca-_
noe, .had his boat upset. He saved lllmsell
by swimining ;biit ti negro, who was with him
was drowned. The following anecdote is re-
lated ofa devil fish, who, in exliihiting an ex-
trcine degree‘of stupidity, was taketi and des-
troyed. A stake was fastened on the shore of
one of otir Sea Islands, in shoal water—the
fish alluded to we-utupto it at high water,and
embraced it with his feelers-—lie was deserted
by the title, and left high 8: dry, an easy prey
to his destroyer. ‘
.’V’icmerous Progeny.-—Tliere lives at this
time, in the county ofAiidersoii, E. Tennes-
see, says the Knoxville Inquirer, ‘ an old lady,
whose name is Mary Jones, who, according
to the information we have from one ofher
grand children, has lived to see her progeny
accumulate to the number of ‘£50 persons.-
Slie has nine children, 84 grand children, atid
137 great-grand children. Total 2280.
Her nine children, 34 ofliergrand children,
and one oflicr great-grand children, are mar-
ried Mrs. Jones is 82 years of age.
‘.Conitubial Difficulties.-——Vi’illiani Banning-
ton, ofllanvillc, Kentucky, lately cautioned
the public against trusting his wife Tabitha,
and charging her with having left his bed and
board. Mrs. Tabitha Bennington, after ac-
knowledging the pain it gives her to be enga-
ged in newspaper pllI)llCallt)m5,(l€llle.’i that she
left her husband, lint charges him flatly with
having deserted her, after cruelly beating her
with .'-. liiclmry, and spoiling all her gowns bi.
ruffles, and further that the bed he speaks of
belongs to her. As to the caution respecting
credit, Tabitha states that no person who
knows liitn would credit him for one cent.
Pleasant ./lnecdole of Dr. Franklin.
“Friend Franklin,” said Myers Fisher, the
celebrated quaker lawyer of Philadelpliia,oue
day to the Doctor, “thee knows almost every
thing, can thee tell me _liow I am to preserve
my small beer in the back yard? my neighbors
are often tapping it ofni_glits.”
“ Put a barrel ofnld Madeira by the side of
it,” replied the Doctor-—“ let them get a taste.
of the Matlcira, and I’ll engage they will nev-
er trouble the :~‘l]l.'ill beer any more.” «
This same great Philosopher tiscd often to
say, “ that ifparents would but give their sons
an early taste for the Madeira of Learning,
they would hardly ever take to the detestable
small beer ofvice.”
During the Revolutionary lVar, 2 brothers,
from one oftlie eastern ports were command-
ers of privateers—tliey cruised together,‘ and
were eminently successful, doing great dam-
age to the enemy, and making much money
for themselves. One evening being in the
latitude oftlie shoals ofNantucket, but many
miles totheeastward oftlicni, they spied a
large British vessel, liaving the appearance of-
a mercliantiiian, and made towards her ;—'
but totlieir astonisliineiit found her a frigate.
disguised. A very light breeze prevailing,
they hauled off in different" directions—oue
only could be pursuetl,an<_l the frigate gaining
rapidly upon liiiii. “Findiiig he could "not run
away, the conimanding officer had recourse to
stratagein, on a sudden ‘lie hauled down every.
sail, andliad all hands employed with selling
poles, as ifshoving ,the vessel offa bank !—
Tlie people on board the frigatewere amazed
at the supposed danger they had run,‘and to
save tlieuiselves fromibeinggrotiiidetl, imme-
diately clawed off, and left the more kiioiving
yankee ‘to inttke liiiiisell's'cai'ce,’ as soon as
the uiglit rendered it prudent for liiui to hoist
sail in a sea two hundred fathom deep!
Origiiial./Iitecrlole.-—Diirin g oti r revolvtion-

ter, to habits of rhyming ;' and in a.sh'ort time
he becaine famed for his siiiarttiess of repar-

One day when at some distance from lion_i_e,
he called at the house of a stranger and asked
for a dinner. The woman ofthe.liouse,.an
elderly woman, appeared soniewliat unwilling

NOTICE.
I VVISH at this time to inform’ the public?
that I have a claim on them for as much
of their patronage as they think proper. I
would have them know that my shop is open,
and I am witliiu, at least a part of the time,
and at work ; and atn ready to receive orders
.from any part of the globe in my line of bit-
siness, which is quite extensive at the present
time, and reaches to a_lmost every article o
Cotton, IVoollen and Linen Clothing. lin-
teiid to Full, Dye and Dress all the cloth that
falls into my hands, if nothing uncouiiiion
happens to prevent. Indigo Blue may be ex-
pected on cloth, coverlid yarn, or wool, equal
to any in the world ; btit I will here remind
you that no kind ofbarier will be received in
payment for Indigo Blue. For those who
may find it most convenient to deposit their
orders in Norwalk,I have made arrangements
with Messrs.Street 8:. James to receive them,
to whom I will return the work when done.-—
Orders may also be left at Messrs.Bell8LRay-
mond’s, or at Mr. Roswell Reed’s store,‘ or
you may lodge them in my hands if you can
find where I live. .
A few words to some of my old customers,
(whom I have not seen this long tiuie) by way
of advice. I would itiforin you that Ihave
some small accounts attached to your names,
and I wish you to consider that I have waited
a long time in hope of receiving my hard earn-'
ed wages, and that Ihave waited in vain ;
and my advice to yoti is that you make some, '
provision for me without delay. By so do-
ing you may save to yourselves at least the in-
terest, and ‘perhaps, the collector’s fees.
I remain yours, respectfully,
‘ DAVID. Sr:LLi:cx.
