ESSAY II.
Therexis a celebratetl idea in one of the
ancient English poets, which dcnorninates a
‘.i'bi‘ar_v—
The monitmeril qfvanished minds.
The cultivation of our minds. as a duty de-
zolvingon us as intelligent and irnmortal be-
ings, is a fact too intich i‘ieglected,and its fatal
consequences not dtily estimated. Fatal!
because without this ctiltivation we are unpre-
pared to meet the world, or to act well our
part in this probatioiiary scene. Fatal! for
without it, we cannot enjoy or properly esti
mate the happiness which the world affords,
or‘ which the smiles of partial fortune may
-sgauer in our path, Fatal! because in anoth-
‘or state of existence, it will retard our pro-
gression towards that glorious perfectipn and
happiness, which is our ultimate destination
as immortal beings. Instead, therefore, of
seeking with undivided minds, those worldly
treasures which will become useless to us,
when our material bodies shall be dissolved.
how iiiuch more in character would it be, to
treasure up those seeds of knowledge which
‘shall expand and bring forth fruits, rich with
present liappitiess, and bestow an harvest in a
better country, pregnant with delight, and
harmony, and bliss. There is nothing that
‘should deter us from the performance of a
duty so important and necessary; the excuse
ustiaHy urged that the want ofttme renders it
impossible should be of no avail; time was
given for this purpose, at least in part, and it
is a sacrilege not todevote that part to it 3-
There are none but can find days for amuse-
ment! and is it not possible to find an-hour
or two in each for the cultivation ofthe mind,
the noblest employment and the sweetest a-
ninsciiient in which a mortal can b’q‘engaged.

_ THE LOST CHILD.
The following -particulars of the loss of a
zhild not long since, in the neigliborliood of
S'ifcltett’s Harbour, is frorii a letter of an eye
witness of the scenes he describes, inserted in
the Salem Observer.
The parents ofthe child had settled in the
J
post‘frotii Philadelphia, after the flttival Ofllls
petitioii in that city, brou ht him an order for
his iintnediate "release, together with a full
discharge, and a severe reprimand to the a-
gent for having acted in such a manner. Poor
Rouzy was, in consequence, restored to his
_fai'ni'ly, who never laid down their heads at
night, without presenting‘ prayers to Heaven
for their“ beloved Washington.” Providence
smiled upon the labors ofthe grateful family,
and in a few years, Rouzy enjoyed the ex-
quisite pleasure ofbeing able to lay the 1000
pounds, with the interest, at the feet of this
truly great man. \Vashington reminded him
that the debt was discharged: Rotizy replied,
the debt of his family to the father of their
country and preserver oftlieir parent, could
never be discharged :—and the General, to
avoid tjie pleasing iiiiportttnity ofthe grateful
Virginian, who would not be denied, accepted
the moncy—’-only, |iowever,to divide it among
Rouzy’s children, which he immediately did.
Jllr. Cla_r/.—-'I‘lie opposition to the Admin-
istration, and particularly to Mr. Clay, inani-
fested in certain quarters, has called forth
sortie able remarks from the editoroftlie Na-
tional Journal, the concluding paragraph of
which is as follows:
"Why this unremitting war upon the Secre-
tary ofState? The professed object of the
opposition is to change the Chief Magistrate
at the next election. He has not been bro’t
forward, and we are confident will not be
brought forward by his friends as a candidate.
Devoted exclusively to the arduous duties of
an ofiice of immense labour, with the same
zeal and assiduity which he has displayed in
the high stations to which his country has
called him, it is indeed questionable wlietliei
his feeble constitution will not sink under the
never-ceasing duties to wliicti he tledlcales
himself. He has not the leisure which others
can command to form sclremes and plans sev-
en or eight years in advance. ’I‘o trim is lit-
erally applicable the scripture text—“sufTi-
cient unto the day is the evil thereof.” - His
opponents should exert a little patience.-
'I‘hey should confide more in Providence, and
less in their own restless activity. It is too
soon-—absolutely too soon-—ro cuter the field
of contest for the prize of 1829. But it is Olll
of all reason; it is monstrous; it is a pre-
sumptuous and profane attempt to control the
course of nature——wliich long before the time
arrives may sweep from the earth every eager
‘expectaiit—-now to rush into the lists for that

, Anecdote of Washington.-—-O’ne Reuben
Rouzy,ofVirginia, owed the General about
£1000. \Vhile President of the U. States,
one of his agents brought‘ an action for the
money ; jtrdgtnerit t\ as obtained, and execu-
tion issued against the body ofthe defendant,
who was taken tojail. He had‘ a considera-
ble landed estate, but this kind of property
cannot be sold in Virg-inla for debts, unless at
the discretion ofthe person. He had a large
family, and for the sake of his children pre-
ferred lying in jail, to selling his land‘. A
‘fr-ieird hinted to hint that probably General
‘Washingtoir did not know anything of the
'.j,;r0c_eed'irig, and that it might be well'to‘seud~
‘HM a petition, with a statement ofthe cir-
witliout reference to the local wants and ad-
vantages of each, and without connecting the
good of the others and of the whole? The
internal improvements to be made by the na-
tional government ought to be considered as
national, not state works; they ought to be,
and doubtless would he, meant for the benefit
of the whole, not ofany part of the country ;
and the application of the public funds to ca-
nals or roads ought to be regulatad by the fa-
cilities offered by nature, and the greater pub-
lic advantage to be derived; not by a numer-

fmroamur moat Arar_c.t.-—Froni_ a post-
script to the London Missionary Register for
December, we learn, that towards theclose of
that month, dispatches were received In Lon-
don fr, Sierra Leone-with intelligence‘ which
must be very gratifying to all the friends Of
Africa. It seems that the Kussoos, a warlike
tribe, who inhabit the interior ofthat Conti-
nent,at no great distance from Sierra Leone,
have for several years waged 31 Cruel and de-
structive war with their neighbors, murdering
or enalaving all on whom they could la)’ their
hands. At length, in the progress ofvictory,
they reached the Territories ofthe Sherbro
-Bulloms,[a tribe who inhabit the fine country
lying directly southeast ofSierra Leone, and
extending along the coast to the distance of
120 miles,] and manifested a determination
to exterminatethem by the sword, or of sell-
ing them into slavery. Under these circum-
stances, the Chiefs ofthe Sherbro Bulloiiis
tection ofthe British government, and on the
24th of September last, entered into'a formal
treaty, by which they grant to his Brittanriic
Majesty “the full, entire, free, and iinlrmiled
right, title, possession, and entire sovereignty
of all the territories and dorninions to-them
belonging.” In accordance with this treaty
his Excellency Major General Turner, corri-
inarider in chief oftbe British forces in West
Africa, on the 4th of October, issued his pro-.
clatnation declaring the newly acquired terri-
tories an integral part ofthe Colony ofSierra
Leone. Thus is the Slave Trade forever a-
bolished in a country which has commonly
yielded 15,000 or 20,000 victims annually ! !

E1'lr'avagrmce.—Perhaps there is scarcely
any thing riiore destructive to a young man’s
cliaracter,tliari the reputation of exiravagaiice
——spending more than circumstances warrant,
tnore than can honorably be repaid. The dif-
ficulties in which a spendthrift is continually
involved are very disgusting to all steady peo-
ple. They disapprove, and justly, of such
conduct ; they fear to connect themselves with
ersoiis who most often become biirdeiisoriie
to them ; for he who gets a habit ofexceeding
his income is seldom cured ofit. All the suf-
ferings he endures hiriiself, all the vexatioiis
he brings upon his relatives and friends, af-
fect liiiri but in a slight or transient manner.
Iiis being assisted ou.t of his trouble will only
encourage future imprutlencies; till, having
wearicd frierid after fricrid,iii rapid succession,
he becotnes an outcast from society, 8:. event
ually airiis to obviate the consequences of his
follies by cririie, some disgraceful or desper-
ate crime.

that your care of personal expenses is correct.
Brit as nothing can essentially benefit orie-
lieve a iiiau inattentive in this point ;so those
who might otherwise be inclined to favor you,
will be backward to it, perlraps will roughly
refuse all connection or concern in your ru-
inous affairs. _ Do not esteem the name ofa-
conomy a trifle. Do not account the practice

Victirn of Qua.ckery.——-We have been‘ fur-
riislied with a statement offacts in relation to
a death which recently occurred in this coun-
ty, which calls loudly on the proper authori-
ty to suppress a system of practice that liter-
ally consigiis victims to a preuiaturc grave.-—
Capt Gideon Denison, of the town ofKnox,
died on the 19th inst. aged 38 years; he was
taken ill with the prevailing influenza, and
called upon one of the patent steam doctors
in his ireighborliood, who, it seems has been
patented to kill or cure under the Tlioriipso-
nian system, who coriiuienced his high pres-
sure operations by means of hot stones,’liot
drops and lobelia ernetics, &C. &r.c. which
soon threw him into a state of delirium, and
in spite ofthe tears and eiitreaties of his fam-
ily, persisted in his application for about three
days, when a physician was called, but too
late to stay the effects ofthe poison which had
been adiniuistercd. The back and sides of
the victiru, were literally covered with blis-
ters, and there was not a doubt on the minds
ofiliose who were present butth.-it he was lit-
erally burut to death.-fllbany ./ldv.
A farmer of Kenriebec county, a week or
