Tm: Head and the Heart often rim strangely

reason why many men who are full of good

the question---Tvflat was head ‘ll.’Ol'f:‘.-this,

One ofthe first c_onclusi’ons I arrived at on
emeriiig the world of business, was _tl1iS--HLV

in... is such, as that it is important that I
should retain the good opinion and fiieridshtp
of every inember ofit, as far as I am able-to
this end rimttb forbearance, great evenness of
gemper, and carefulness of conduct was no-
cessiiry-I adopted the resolution to arm at
such a course-—-this was head worlt. An oc-
casional iusult, frequent wrongs, repeated ill-.
treatment. overturned all my resoltttions—I
rest-.nt:-tl, aqiiabbletl, sought redress, and made
some enerities—thts was heart -work.
I dctcrrniiicd in the outset to mind my OWN
-httsiuess -, to sit down and be industi-iot_is and
steady ; to make my shop triy home ; it was
headtwork again. Pleasure allored; fashion
dazzled; my gay acquaintanccs pcrstiaded:
and Idividcd iuv time between business and
anioseuient, devoting far too large a"share to
the latter-——‘-heart work again l
Of all other lesscmrin the world, I wished
to learn that of Economy: it seemed of first
isznportance; I convinced myself of thts—re-
solved and 78-l‘€’.5(tlVt3d-0-enll't‘l’lCllC{I myself
behind logic, old maxitns, and the fatherly
adincnitions ofancit-ut advisers-—It was head
work; sound head work. But, moncy,mon-
gy ; what a world of fine things it will btiy ;
how many temptations are there to spendii ;
how easily it slips through onels fitigers ? The
h8‘.'.'t'l persuaded me now out ofa little, and
- then out ofa little, to pamper this appetite Es.
indulge in that pleasurc,uutilI became nearly
a downright extravagant fellow. It was all
heart work, for I gave my head the credit or
arguing with me at every step about it, and
of proving that I was doing wrong over and
over again.
Anoiltcr maxim for which I stood indebted
to my head was--—“ don’t get married. till you
are a good long journey up bill.” I conned
that over, and laid it under my pillow, deter
mined to stick by it, come what would ;—'I
chit.-,k-led at every silly gosliug ofa beardless
boy who put his treek into the noose as soon as
he escaped from school. and thought myself
far wiser-—but. in the midst of my triumph, a
fair blue eyed nymph came into the neighbor-
hood-antl——zotintls! I got married in less
than six months; and my wife usurped the
place of my resolution. This was heart
work.
Then however there was ntore occasion for
head work than ever ; for it was altogether
necessary to make things go smooth, to keep
in ‘a good humor, and, in cant phrase,to mind
my p’: and q’s. But I was passionate ;—l
scoldtd accruing to my feelings, not by any
rule of reason ; I still found as before, tli:it, in
every tilt between my heart and my head, the
former was sure to be victorious, and to over-
:-et all my logic at a single thump.
It might have been, perhaps it was, some
little cdnsnlatinn to look around and see that
others shared the same fate. I saw iiittny
S‘Bl:Sll)l(‘ young ladies whose heads taught them
that modesty and htiirrility, kindness SI. virtue
were the pearls after which they should seek
to adorn themselves, caught in the snare their
hearts laid for them ; simperiug before the
mirror ; showing off at parties; coquctting
with beaux ; and running the whole race of
fashionable dissipation.
Ihad a friend in the city who was master
of a good business, whose prospects were
promising, and who had begun the world with
high hopes and spirits. I saw him sending
little poems to the printer; they were printed;
praised ; recited by the girls : and at last
somebody said “the author of these pretty
verses should put them in a less perishable
form”-should collect them ; make a book 1
It turned Dick’s head upside down-—-Milton,
Dryden, Pope, and Cowper, danced be-
fore him in their deathless honors; he shot t.ip
shop"; turned author ; and is——a poor poverty
stricken poet, without a shirt or a sliilling to
this day. This was all heart work; reason
had nothing to do with it.
The influence of the heart over the head is
also to be seen in a thousand other instances
nfeondnct. The man who embarks in pursuit
of taiire,-wl-rather in literature, in po-liiics, or
in the field of war, lets go the helm of reason;
is gc-vented by his-heart instead of his head.
And in Religion, thatgreatest of all concerns,
it is wonderful to observe the powerful opera-
tion of the human heart.
Every man’s head, I suppose, teaches hint
that piety is ruost importa-tit, most desirable ;
it convin'ces- the understanding that there is a
God ; that lie is good, consequently that we
will be held accountable for our conduct.-
They know too, that it is at least most proba-
ble that he has made a revelation of his will,
on a conformity to which depends all their fu-
ture hopes. Yet the heart dislikes the strict-
ness of this law, and absolutely persuades
thousands itot to inquire after the rule of duty;
to plead ignorance‘; and a general disbelief
ofwbat they have never ex-aniincd--*—thc Bi

Gen. Williatn. H. i/Elshley, dtcring his late
Expedition to the Rocky Mo:.‘ntaz'2t.9.
The General Government having under
consideration the propriety of establishing a
military post at some point witliiu our territo-
rial limits, on the coast ofthfi Pacific: [lie We"
sent is, perhaps, the rirost appropriate time to
communicate any information, which may in
the least tend to facilitate tlie_ consummation
ofa measure, in our opinion, ofso much na-
tional importance.
Hcretofore, those great barriers ofnature,
the Rocky Mountains, have been called up in
jndgnreut against the practicability of estab-
li-liing a communication ‘between this point
and the Pacific Ocean. But the great author
of Nalure, in his wisdom, has prepared, and
individual enterprise discovered, that so
“ broad and easy is the way” that thousands
may travel it in safety, without meeting with
any obstritctioir deserving the name of a
mountain
The route proposed, after leaving St. Louis
the Missouri River, strikes the River Platte a
short (llstancr-‘. above itsjunctiou Wllll llte Mis-
souri ; their pursues the waters ofthe Platte
to their sources, and, in continuation, crosses
the liead waters of what Gen. Ashley believes
to be the Rio Colorado of the West, 8:. strikes
for the first time, a ridge, or single connecting
chain of mountains, running from north to
south. This, however, presents no difficulty,
as a wide gap is found apparently prepared
for the purpose of a passage. After passing
this gap, the route falls directly on a river,
called by Gen. Ashley, the Btrenaventura,and
runs with that river to the Pacific Ocean.
The face ofthe country, in the gcner.-il, is
a continuation ofhigli, rugged, and barren
mountains ; the. suinmits of which are either
timbercd witl-i pine, quaking-asp, or ccdar;
or, in fact, almost entirely destitute of vegeta-
tion. Other irarts are hilly and undulating;
and the valleys and table lands, (except on the
borders ofwatcr courses, which are more or
less timbetcd with cotton wood and will-nws,)

article is substituted by an herb, called by the
liunters, wild sage, which grows from one to
five feet high, and is found in great abomi-
ance in most parts ofthe country.

however, bounded by the principal ranges of

Riz."er.r.---Tlre river visited by Gen. Asltley.
and which he believes to be the Rio Colorado
ofthe. West, is, at about fifty miles from its
most northern sources, eighty yards witlc. At
this point, General A. embarked and descen-
(l6'.l the river, which gradually increased in
width to one hundred and eighty yards. In
passing through the mountains, the channel
is contracted to fifty or sixty yards, and so
mtich obstructed by rocks as to make its de-
scent extremely dangerous, and its ascent irri-
Pr;]c[lc:1l)lC. After‘ clesceridittg the river -100
miles, General A. shaped his course north-
wardly, and fell upon what he supposed to be
the sources of the I3tlrllttl'etllllt‘a; and repre-
scuts those branches as bold streams, from 20
to 50 yards wide, forming a junction a few
miles below where he crossed tluam, and til€'ll
empties into a large lake,(called Grand Lake)
represented by the Indians aabeiug 40 or 50
miles wide, and 60 or 70 niles long. This
iufuruiation is strcngthctietl by that of the
white hunters, who have explored parts ofthe
Lake. The Iutlians represent, thatat the ex-
treme west end of this lake, a large river flows
out, and runs in a westivarrlly directimi.
Gen. A. when on those waters, at first tlio’t
it probable they were the sources of the Mult-
nninali: but the account given by the Indians,
supported by the opinion ofsome men belong-
ing to the Hudson Bay Cotnpariy, confirms
him in the belief, that they are the head wa-
ters ofthe river represented as the Bueuaveu-
tura. To the north and north west fr. Grand
Lake, the country is represented as abound-
iug in" salt.

Brazen, Captain \‘Villes, sailed on Thursday
last, for the Biglits ofBenin and Biafra. Cap-
tains Clappertou and Pearce, with Mt.'3st's.
Morrison and Dickson, who came out in the
Brazen, went down in her, and will be landed
at such part ofthe coast as circumstances may
render triost adviseable. Their object will
ti-en be to reach Soccatoo, where Captain
Clapperton resided some time last year-,wlien
in the interior with Major Denhain. We had
much conversation with liiur, and were mirch
gratified with his statements. They coufirui
(what we are sure will be more apparent the
tuore we become acquainted with the country)
that the centre of Afrtci-. is far advanced in
civilization; that the further the negro is re-
moved from the baueful effects of the slave
-trade——the contamination of the coast--the
more he is raised in the scale of lrumauity,the
riiore intelligent, honest, and industrious does
he become. W e uuderstandtliat on reaching
Snccatoo,sotne ofthe party will remain to form
more intimate relations with tliatextraordmaiy
sovereign, Sultan Bella, and endeavour to es.-
tablislr a safe and permanent communication
between Soccatoo and the coast; whilst oth-
ers will visit the Niger, trace its course, and
follow it to the sea ; with other excursions for
the benefit of science and the extension of
knowledge.
VVe were favoured with a view of a map,
containing the late discoveries ofMajor Den-
hatn and Captain Clapperton, from which it
seems nearly certain that the Niger, or Joliba,
passing within a short distance of Soccatoo,
flows into the Bight of Benin, and, we have
no dottbt,forins Lagos and the rivers round it.
Ifso, what an important opeiring is made into
the interior of Africa! With the exception
of the rapids of Yaouree, a steam vessel may
traverse this itnurense continent fr. the Bight
‘of Benin tothc Foulali country-—-a water corri-
munication scarcely eqtiallcd in any other
part of the world.‘

with which they are kept clear of weeds. We
are also struck with the ciictrinstance, that all
the gold carried to Tinrbnctoo and Soccatno
is brought from the west and south-west,——a
strong corroboration of what is always stated
by our travelling merchants, that the most
productive gold mines of Western or Interior
Africa are not far from us. We wish these
adventurous travellers every success, but we
cannot help fearing the Portuguese interest
in the Biglits will be too powerful for them.
It is the policy of that Government to keep
every thing connected with its coln”rii:rl estab-
lishincnts a profound secret. The World
knows nothing of tlrern. To this national
jealousy is to be added, in the prescutcasc,
the fear of the authorities on this coast, that
otir success may be their loss, and especially
that it may interfere with their illicit slave
trade. Ifthe Lagos be the Niger, they must
know it; and ifso, we fear they will not, if
they can prevent it, allow our enterprising
countrymen to unravel a secret they have so
long kept.

The .’lIura'cr of Col. Sliarp.—-This act has
called forth many and various publications, 8:.
dcvelopements of Kentucky politics, as also
rumors and suriuises calculated to injure the
character of Col. Sharp, to identify his inur-
der with party feuds, &i.c. Not the least rep-
rehensible of these reports, was that which
asserted, that Mrs. Sharp possessed papers
ci.-ntaining evidence that would prove, that
Col.Sharp sedttced the girl whom Beauclrarrip
married, and that she concealed them for the
purpose of fixing the murder upon a political
party. The Kentucky Argus contains a long
address from Mrs. Sharp, vindicatiug the
character of her husband frotn the aspcrsions
cast upon it, and denying the concealment of
any evidence ofthe kind. She says she has
proof, the testimony of the girl's relations, to
shew that Col. Sliarp was innocent of tier se-
duction. She believes that the murder orig-
inated in politics, and her suspicious are, that
Patrick Darby, the editor, we believe, of the
Constitutional Advocate, printed at Frankfort
was the chief iustigator of the murder of her
husband. It appears from her statement that
Darby had been a political opponent ofCol.
Sharp, and that he had not been at Sltarp’s
house, for a length of time, until the evening
of the rnurder,wlien he called, and, after sotne
general conversation, asked where a young
titan, then sick at Sliarp’s lay. The Col. tu
formed-—lic occupied the room in which Col.
Sharp and his wife usually la_v,but from which
they had reuioved for the better accommoda-
tion of the young man. This itiforritatiotr,
Mrs. Sharp thinks, embed the assassin to en-
ter thc house through an unusual p.-.ssage,and
to find his victim in a part ofthe house which
ilie Col. had not been in the habit of occupy
lug as his bed rootn. Various other grounds
are stated as warranting the suspicion above
alluded to, one of which is, that Darby, on
appearing at the examination of Bcauchamp,
said he did not know that he had ever before
seen the prisoner, when Mrs. Sharp states,
that he had freqttcntly said he had seen liitir,
tit. mentions that he had been atBeaucliamp‘s
house.—’-b’altimorc Paper.

The best luliug wherewith to cover the

quantities of train oil and rosin, prepared iii
the following manner. First melt the rosin
in an eartltern vessel, and then poitr it into
the oil, mix them weil; to be applied when

is used in the NW. partofFrauce (Bretaguc)
with general sticcess. It has this advantage
that it never cracks, nor admits the rain or
wind to the grafts, which is the usual cause of
their failinrr. It is iuorc expeditiously put on
than the cotumon clay covering, and looks
iuucli neatcr ; but what renders it more useful
is, that the grafts covered with this composi-
tion seldom fail: scions laid under earth, or
steeped in water for a few days, grow better
than those taken fresh from the parent tree.

Indirtn Corn.——From an article which I
observed in your paper I was induced last
year to try the experiment there recommend-
gd, to soak my seed corn in copperas water
before planting, it intinediately struck me
[1,-at it would have a beneficial effect. I tried
it and the result was fully equal to my most
sanguine expectations. I had scarcely a hill
or even a spire destroyed, which I impure
principally to the copperas.
I am confident that it is a full and entire
remedy against the wire worm, and also a-
gainst birds, who will not eat it after they
have pulled it up if it be well impregnated
with the copperas, if they do, it must prove
their destruction.
The plan which I pursued was as follows.
I used about one and a half pounds of coppe-
ras in three packs of com. I made the water
war-tn, and soaked the corn full 48 hours be-
fore planting, putting in corn and copperas
as we used it out. It is not easy to use too
much copperas,I believe the more the better.
I have been in the habit ofsoakiug my corn
before planting for many years, sometimes in
salt petre pickle, from which I could never
see that I derived any benefit. I then tried
common salt, which Itliouglrt about the satire.
I then tried my bacon pickle, this I thought
injurious in consequence of the greasiness of
the liquor; the corn did not come up well.——

After a remark upon the probable success
in clrristianizing the presetit generation, the
Reviewer proceeds as follows :——’
“ Brit the brightest harvest is in a future
season, when the children ofilie schcolsshall
go out itrto society, with minds properly stor-
ed, and habits rightly trained. Much has
been done in the Society Islands, during the
them- WarS'lI'rt'Ie ceased, the ltorrors of a
shocking barbarism have vanished, mild go-
vernments are established, the arts ofcivilized
life are eagerly cultivated, stated religious
worship is kept tip in uiany places’, and, ac-
cording to the best accounts, it is hardly too
much to say, that this region, so lately sunk
in the deepest glootii of ‘a savage heatlienisin,
is now a christian land. Schools are plan-
ted iri the villages with native teachers, read-
ing and writing are common attaiuinents,and
books are written, printed, circulated, (‘-1. used.
These are noble achievenients, and they have
been made, let it be understood, by the sole
efforts of,the Missionaries, wlioso sacrifices
and sufferings have been greater than can be
well itnagiiicd, btit whose constancy has borne
them through to the end. In their success
they have a rich reward.
“ We may safely expect as rapid and com-
plete success, from the American Missiona-
ries at the Sandwich Islands. They receive
protection, and even encouragement from the
chiefs; about one thousand children attend
their different schools ; houses for public wor-
ship are erected, some oftlreiii at the expense
ofthe chiefs themselves, and a good degree
of attention is paid to the religious services.
It isimpossible, that such a system cfinstruc-
tion should not work its Way into the thoughts
and habits ofthe people.”
Experience is the best school master, or the
free is best known by itsfr-uits.—'I‘lre national
benefits restrlting from a pacific policy, and
the national evils inflicted by a war policy,are
strikingly contrasted by our treatment ofthe
French and English in relation to the injuries
we suffered from those nations from the year
1793 to the year I815.
The French have captured during this pe-
riod by autliorily of nine unlawful decrees,
property, bona fide belonging to" American

millions ofdollars and the English captured
and conilemnedour property,engaged in law-
ful cominerce, to the amount, say, of ten mil-
liotis of dollars. With the French nation we
listened to the dictates ofgratitude, partiality
and forbearance, and thereby escaped a war
which might have lasted ten years, and cost
us two hundred millions ofilollars to maintain
it ; bill with the English we almost untiesita
tiugly plunged into war, (Dean Swift’s bot»
tomless pit,) which in two years and a half,
cost us according to President I\Ionroe’s state-
ment, one luriidred and twenty millions of
dollars, merely because we listened to dictates
very opposite to those above tnentioned, and
which we will leave to the consciences of war
makers to name.
By remaining at peace with France we ob-
tained Louisiana, and preserved our claims
against the French nation for compensation,
which may be good for fnty tnillions, or good
for nothing, as the spirit ofjustice or avarice
may predominate. But with the British we
settled our claims in toto by liartl knocks, and

in the summer months a very limited quantity

to another. The late potatoe crop failed to
a very great extent. The intense heat ofthe

say, that whatever affects the destitute Irish
peasant is little talked of by any party until
the season of sufferings sets in, and famine,
with all its attendant calamities Inake their
accustomed circuit over this devoted and uri-
