All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates._ ADVICE TO A DAUGHTER. One of the soundest and best lessons of prac tical wisdom that we ever remember to have read, will be found in the truly excellent Letter of an a flection ate Father to a dear Daughter, copied below. The letter is extracted from a volume entitled Letters on Practical Subjects, to a Daughter, by W. B. Sprague, D. D., of Alba ny, N. Y.” We recommend the enforcement of its principles to every father and obedience to its precepts to every daughter. We are sure, we could present nothing more acceptable to •ur readers: j My Devr Child:—In several of the preceding j letters I have taken for granted that you are to mingle, in a greater or less degree, in society. It j is equally essential to your respectability and usefulness, that vou should not live the life of a recluse. The constitution of your nature and the i circumstances of vour condition clearly indi cate that you were made to be social. As it is a subject however, in relation to which there is i a strong tendency to extremes, and on which you will be in great danger of being misled, I j shall suggest a few thoughts in the present letter which may serve to aid' in forming your opin- j ions and directing your conduct. I begin my advice to you on this subject by a i caution tnai >uu i into society at too early a period. It too oRen happens that girls, long before they have com-. pleted their education, and even at a compaia-| tively early stage of it, have contracted a strong relish for being in the world; and unless pre- vented by the influence of parents or instruct- ers they are found thus prematurely in the gay-1 est circles of fashion. The consequence of this 1 is that, at best, a divided attention is rendered to their studies; that their opportunities for in tellectual improvement are enjoyed to little purpose; and that the period in which should i be laid the foundation of a solid and useful cha racter, is perverted to the formation of a habit of mental inaction, and not improbably to che rish a spirit of intolerable vanity. Now *1 do not insist that you should actually decline all society up to the time of completing your education; but l wish that your visiting, j previous to that period, should be, lor the most' part, of an informal character; and that you should not generally consider yourself at liber- f ty to accept invitations, even if you should re ceivc them, to mingle in set circles. This acci-1 denial intercourse of which I have spoken, is j all thar will be necessary during the period of yuUr education, to aid you in the formation of your manners; and any thing beyond it will al- most inevitably interfere with your intellectual improvement, and of course detract from your ultimate standing in society. Let me assure you, too, that you will beiar less acceptable in society, if you make your ap-I pearaoce prematurely, than if you wait till a proper period. The common sense of the world is quick to discern any impropriety on this sub ject; and if, while you are yet a child, you are seen among those of matuie age, v irtually claim ing to be us old as they, you can expect nothing else but that you will be set down as deficient either in modesty or good sense. Better for your reputation that you should come too late into society than too early; for though in the one case you might lose something in point of manners, yet in the other you would lose more in the estimation of the world, on the score of delicacy and correct judgment. It is not more important that you should avoid going into society too early, than it is that, when you do enter it, you should avoid mingling in it too much.-* One bad effect of this would be, that it would leave you with too little time for the discharge of your private and domestic du ties The culture of your mind anti heart, in connexion with the ordinary cares of domestic _» lanm narr n f vnnr time should be spent at home; and you cannot, with out great injustice to yourself, and those with whom you are connected, neglect these more private duties, for the sake of being always in The bustle of the world. It is a rare thing that you will find a lady who devotes an undue pro portion of her time to visiting, but that if you follow her into the domestic circle, to the cham ber and the fireside, you will find that she evin ces a proportional neglect of some of the du ties belonging to the station she occupies. She is either neglecting to cultivate her understand ing or neglecting to keep her heart, or neglect ing’to use the means which Providence has put into her hands for the intellectual and moral improvement of those with whom she is mime diately connected. Recollect also that the error against which I am endeavoring to put you on your guard, would not only prevent your attention to more important duties, by occupying the time which should be allotted to them, but it would serve actually to give you a distaste for tho*e duties. Allow yourself a constant round of company, even for a short period, and it will be stiangt indeed, if you do not begin to feel that compa ny is your only element; if you do not, in a great degree lose your relish for the pleasures of the domestic fireside; if you do not find j yourself complaining of ennui, w hen you hap Een for a season to be providentially shut up at ome. 1 need not stop to show how entirely such a habit of feeling must disqualify a female for the most important relations she can ever sustain. Moreover, an extravagant fondness for soci ety, and an excessive indulgence of this incli nation, are almost sure to create a habit of dis sipation, both as it respects the intellect and the feelings. The mind, by being conversant with the ever varying scenes of social life, loses, in a great degree, the command of its own powers; and the attempt to concentrate them on any particular subject, were scarcely more likely to succeed than would be an attempt to collect every mote that was floating in the surround ing atmosphere, while the atmosphere was agi tated by a whirlwind. The moral feelings too are subject to a similar influence; for not only is there usually an entire absence of self-corn munion, and all that secret discipline of the af fections, which is essential to the right keeping of the heart, but too often there are the )e\ lties of the world, scenes from which there is a stu died exclusion of religion, and even a designed introduction of much that is fitted to bnng reli gion into contempt. I do not say that this evil, in its whole extent, is commonly found in any of the walks of decent society; but I do say that it sometimes exists in the frightful dimen sions which I have attributed to it; and that it commonly exists in so great a degree as to ren der an excessive intercourse with the world a fruitful source of mischief. You will anticipate me when 1 say, in tins connexion, that it becomes you to use the ut most caution in selecting the circle with "h you are to associate. I hardly need admonis 1 you to set it down as a fixed purpose that you will never, intentionally, be found in any circle in which there is any thing to encourage im morality, or any lack of reverence for the sa cred principles and precepts of religion. I would have you, moreover, beware of mingling in the gay world; in scenes which are designed to produce an unnatural and feverish excite ment of the spirits, w hich are fraught with no intellectual or moral advantage, and iu which the introduction of grave or useful discourse would be the signal for disquietude or disgust. I do not, by any means, insist that your associ ates should all be from the number of those who are professedly or actually pious; nor do 1 ob ject at all to your intercourse with them being of a cheerful, and sometimes, if you please, an amusing character; but I do insist that they should be persons of correct moral views and habits, and that your associating with them should be for some higher purpose than merely to kill time, or to cultivate a spirit of trifling.— It were desirable too, as I have had elsewheie ocrasionto remark concerning your partic ular friends, that the circle with which you chiefly associate, should possess a good degree of in telligence; that thus your social intercourse may be instrumental of improving not only your heart but your understanding. If you take due precautions on this subject, the time that you pass in society, instead of being lost, may subserve, in a high degree, your most im portant interests; while the neglect of such pie cautions will render the same hours u mete blank in the period of your probation. It is natural and proper that those with whom you chiefly mingle should be from the same >\amb ui me mm juui.-ivih er, sometimes providentially be thrown among those, the circumstances of whose birth and education have given them a rank quite supei i or to any which you can claim; and as the case may' be, persons of this character may profier you their confidence and friendship. In all cases of this kind, never suffer youiself to be deluded by any thing that is connected with the pride or circumstance of life; and do not think it a privilege to mingle in society of the most elevated worldly rank, provided there be any thing in it to put in jeopardy your moral princi ples and feelings. And let me say- too, that, though y ou may very properly' accept a fair and honorable introduction into any circle, no mat ter how elevated, yet you ought never, by a single action, word, or look, to signify a wish for any such distinction. It would indicate a species of ambition certainly not the most honorable, and if you should accomplish your object, it is more than probable you would meet the recep tion which is due only to an intruder. You woulo do injustice to yourself, and be wanting in the discharge of your duty, if you should not occasionally, and even frequently, mingle in the lower cla man left Hartford, Conn, with his family, cor. sistingof his wife und three daughters for home in the vessel which he commanded. The two*], dest were permitted to sit in the boat, the wind being light, which veered some distance behind the vessel. After sailing in this situation some time, they desired to take a little child, belong, ing to a passenger, with them. The bout w as draw n along side of the vessel for the purjios* of complying with their wishes. Theyounge-t stepped on the thwart, with the intention of re ceiving the •hild. The boat suddenly changed tier position, w hich caused her to lose her bal ance, and she was precipitated into the water, head foremost. Her father did not notice w hat was doing until his attention was arrested by the noise of the fail. Without removing any of his apparel, he leap, od into the water to rescue her. Although a good swimmer, he found itdifHcuIt to keep abov water, but the daughter made him torget h m. self, and on his coming to the top lie caught her and swam for the boat. The girl finding her self in this situation seized her father mound the neck, which drew him under, and short struggle they both sank together. The consciousness of the father was at lids time beyond the power of language toconvev. He must leave his child or both perish. Hi- «-’j forts to rise with her, ho says, were vain. II.* struggled and thrust the child from hint, and reached the surface of the water almost lifeless. After inhaling fresh air, he found himself some distance from the boat; be succeeded in getting toiler. On casting his eyes to the spot wlmT* he had left the object of his anxiety, he saw her hand above water, moving in a slow dym« I motion. Unwilling to relinquish his hopes. In propelled the boat towards her with ail his ri maining strength, hut before he arrived to where she was seen, she had disappeared from the top, but was discovered, by her white die-.-, beyond his reach beneath. Without any hope of saving her, he plunged his oar into the water as far as lie u a- able, and soon found that something was attached m it. He raised it gently, with mingled froim*. of hope and fear, and to his surprise and joy his child had grasped it with both hands and -ii, was taken once more, with life not quite extinct into the boat. After some time had elapsed, she showed signs of returning animation and was again restored to the arms of her friend alive. During the time she was in tin* water the cries of the mother were loud und di-tr*s sing, (i Lord save them,” but her moaning- ueft soon changed to praise.—Barnstable Jt 8i.

The names ofseveral gen emen have been mentioned to fill that office, all(| amongst them we begin to hear talked of, •.■emiently. that of John Janney, Esq. of Lou j,.un We need not add the satisfaction we ,.>nld experience at such a selection. To ta ats of a high order, Mr. Janney unites indus j‘.v- amenity of manners, and great attention to During the time he has served in the ggislature, ho has distinguished himself as a }e.uJv debater, and for a knowledge of the rules order. Uis honesty, independence, and •Vuikness. also, won (he esteem of political foes il wHI as friends, and secured him the respect confidence of the members. Should Mr. j ,nnev 4>e determined upon as the gentleman 'run by the Whigs as their candidate for .Speaker’s chair, it would be a compliment \u‘ll deserved by himself, and proper to the ;n (•■iligent and influential county which he repre sents—a county, than which none other in the State c jii boast of more virtue, patriotism, ele it. t! feeling, and devotion to the cause of con st.tutional freedom and rational liberty. The President.—The Louisville Public Ad ^rr,-,*r. of August 27th, says that the President of the United States has declined visiting l'lo rence. in consequence of the delays he experi encod in reaching the Hermitage. He was ex ft..-1 to begin his journey back to Washing t hi about the 10th instant. Indiana.—Mr. John Ewing, member of Con ics* from Indiana, in a letter dated Vincennes, August 22J, to a gentleman in Wheeling, Virgi nia. -ay-;: 1 could not have believed, before 1 reached home, the extent of the political clinn ■es. which I now w itness around me. Our elec, lion- have terminated, and their result is glo rious.” _____ Scicide.—It is stated ma Boston paper tnai Manuel Dalgaia. one of the piratical crew te centlv brought from England by the British hrij of war Savage, and now confined in the Leverett street jail, committed suicide, between the hours of nine and ten. on Sunday morning. H" broke a pane of glass, w ith a piece of which he completely severed the right jugular vein. PERFORMING QUARANTINE, BY DEPUTY.—When the steamboat arrives at Charleston S. C. from New York, it is met at the Quarantine ground by a packet from the city, which t ikes on board, the New York passengers, and remains at the quarantine ground the time prescribed for quar antine, and the latter returns to New York. Cholera.—In New York. September 2, there wer** 19 deaths from Cholera. In New Bedford, the Cholera broke out on the 30th nit. among some natives of the Sand wich Islands, several of whom died. A death from Cholera has also occurred at Hartford, Connecticut. In Canada, the disease is abating slowly. It would seem that the meeting in Winches ter, prepared tld Dominion at the footstool of Power! To the mchester Virginian: e were not mad,’ most noble Festus! but spok« the words of rac ra and aoasaxi i ne advocates of Power complain of die Op |'°'ition having assumed the name of \V"h, pt.

The daw, however, is stripped of its borrowed feathers. >»v i.o are made ns to tin* reason of the Mte frequent changes in the Deposite Banks. U e cannot answer. The Government, we pre sume. uses its_“ potato suit itself. Reference has heretofore be0n~~do to the iniquitous suppression of documents and re ports by the Post Office Department in Philudei pma. A lull account of the matter we cony •Tom the New York Courier. If this account is entirely correct, and wo have no doubt it is. a wore infamous attempt to cheat the public out of their rights was never made-nur a more daring violation of private rights and official ■“ty Perpetrated. No man in the community un uPho!d and support these things. It is i,n. possible. Cobbett has published hi* Life of Gen.

Cobbett is one those Patriots of “easy virtue- who always Gvc their price,- and can take a hand at al -1 anv thing, provided he is well paid (or it. would not think that Gem Jackson would Jl himself honored by having his praises sung o bettl De gustibus. however, and we shall 'ay nothing more. .Viss atson, Paganini's llame, made a bril aut debut at Nibfo's Garden. New York, on r nday evening last The Cambridge (Md.) Chronicle states that the dwelling of Mr. Henry M. Turner, about two miles from that town, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 24th ultimo, and that Mr. T.’s oldest son, aged six or seven years, perished in the flames. In the hurry and consternation at tending the discovery of the fire on the part of the family, the child was forgotten and left be hind, asleep. The editor adds: The instant the horrible truth flashed upon his mind, the frantic father rushed towards his son. Thrice did he attempt to reach him; but thrice did the intervening volume of smoke and heat check his respiration, and send him stag gering back for breath. It was beyond human power to save the poor little fellow, and he was swallowed up in the conflagration.” Politics of Sorth Carolina.—We have cau tiously foi borne for some weeks, to express our opinion with respect to the probable political complexion of the next General Assembly of this btate. We did not wish to halloo until we were out of the woods.” We now' feel ourselves at liberty to declare, from ascertained facts, not that we are in the midst of a revolution, but that we have passed triumphantly through it. The buttle has been fought and won.—Raleigh Reg. Lord Chancellor Brougham made lately in the House of Lords this declaration— •‘If two men were proposed for ari office, with one of whom he differed in opinion on political topics, while he agreed with the other, i he should decide in favor of the one from whom he differed in opinion, if he thought him the be»t qualified for ihe appointment.” How different from the theory and practice in our Republic.— Sat. Gaz. .4// Incident.—Asa friend ofours was passing down Sixth street on Friday afternoon, his at tention was arrested hy observinga large crowd assembled round the residence of a respectable female in the neighborhood of Sixth and Spruce street. On inquiring the cause, he was inform ed that a gentleman on horseback had rode in to the entry of the lady’s me of his feats, has tened for a constable, who dismounted the gen tleman. and led both horse and rider out. The latter was, we presume, taken before a magis trate, and adequately rewarded.— Phil. In7. Mghtninsr.— We take pleasure in stating that I the suggestion, which we, a few week ago. threw out—of dashing a. Infcket of cold water into the face of a person stricken by lightning, might have the effect, as it did in one instance which came under our own observation, to produce resuscitation, has been effectually ap plied to a young lady in Seuthborough, Mass, the daughter ol Capt. II. B. Wheeler. This re medy was applied, and she was restored to res piration. and with medical aid t<» health. [A’ V. Com. Arfr. Sunilnre.—St. Joseph’s Church was entered last night by some villians, and the poor boxes opened and rifled of their contents, and other articles carried off. It appears that St. Peter’s Church, corner of Barclay and Church streets, was also entered on Saturday night, and robbed of several valuable articles—X V. Star. Robert G. Davis, a youth born at the Sand wich Islands, and about 15 years of age—re ceived the first medal, and delivered the Vale dictory Address—at the recent examination of our Public Schools.—Bo*. Atlas. French Politeness.—The following compli ment was lately paid by a Parisian dentist to a lady. He had made several ineffectual attempts to draw out her decayed tooth and finding at last that he must give it up he apologized by saying, “The fact"is. madam, it is impossible for any thing bad to come out of vour mouth.” MARRIED, On Tuesday, 2d inst. by the Rev.

VirHEN the first number of this periodical was issued, the public were informed that the subscription list must be greatly enlarged to justify the prosecution of the enterprise. The publisher takes pleasure in acknow ledging the •strong disposition which has since been mani fested to patronise the work, and is much gra tified at being able to announce, that a suffiei cient number of subscribers has now been ob tained to admit of its being continued. Early in October the second number w ill appear. In the meantime, it is desirable that others who in tend patronizing the Messenger, should send in their names as speedily as possible, in order that some definite idea may be formed as to the fu ture number of copies which w ill be required to be issued. The arrangements which have been made for having the paper properly conducted, leave no doubt on the mind of the* publisher that its co lumns will be weil filled. He cannot, however, forbear to remark, that his efforts to furnish matter of a varied and attractive character, may he more effectual, if those who are competent to i do so, not only in Virginia, but the other South ern States, will aid him with contributions. All must desire to raise up a literary character for j the South; and all who are capable of doing so, will, it is hoped, furnish their quota of matter, i Communications from those who wish to sub scribe to the work, or to forward matter for publication, will be addressed to THOMAS W.

A brook went dancing on its way, From bank to valley leaping, And by its sunny margin lay, A lovely infant sleeping. The murmur of the purling stream Broke not the spell which bound him, Like music breathing, in his dream, A lullaby around him. It is a lovely sight to view, Within this world of sorrow, One spot which still retains the hue That earth from heaven may borrow; And such was this—a scene so fair Arrayed in summer brightness; And one pure being resting there. One soul of radiant whiteness! What happy dreams, fair child, are given To cast their sunshine o’er thee? What cord unites thy soul to Heaven, Where visions glide before thee? For wandering smiles ol cloudless mirth O’er thy glad features beaming, Sav, not a thought—a form of earth Alloys thine hour of dreaming! Mayhap, afar on unseen wings, Thine sinless spirit soaring, Now lieais the burst from golden springs, Where angels are adoring; And, with the pure heliacal throng, Around their Maker praising, Thy joyous heart may join the son<r Ten thousand tongues are raising! Sleep, lovely babe!—for time’s cold touch Shall make these visions wither; Youth—and the dreams which charm so much, Shall fade and fly together. Then sleep!— while sleep is pure and mild, Ere earthly tic* grow stronger, When thou shalt he no more a child, And dream of Heaven no longer. FOR PHILADELPHIA. (Via Canal.)

PIERPOINT’S SEMINARY WILL be re-opcned on the first day of Sep tember next. In this Institution will be taught, besides the usual branches, the Latin, Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing, &c. The Classical Department will be under the special care of P. J. McLaughlin, a gentleman ul high literary attainments, of unexceptionable moral character, and u ho has had considerable experience in the instruction of youth. In this Institution tin Explanatory Mode of Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the obvious principle, that abstract terms and defi nitions are less intelligible and pleasing to chil dren than real objects; and that the instruction which is given entirely in words, can never be so interesting and profitable, as that which is communicated with the aid of visible and tangi ble tilings. Hy thus explaining and illustrating the subjects of study before the students en ter upon them, they are well understood, and their progress is thereby facilitated aud much increased. The Proprietor is decidedly, of the opinion that youth are more easily led than driven in the paths of science, and that order, in general, is more effectually secured by a system of mo ral, than physical discipline. This Institution continues to be well support ed, is now in a nourishing condition, and ar rangements have been made for the accommo dation ot an additional number of students. The Proprietor hopes that no exertions on his! part, or on that of his assistants, will be neglect ed, that will tend to the moral and intellectual improvement of his students.

SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTUNS, near Frederick• town, Maryland. UicdMuau.

The term of the patent having expired on the 26tn June, 1 have made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa teut thereon. N £hc,PHKKD. j* imposition having been practised upon the pub lic by a spurious article, hearing the name of Jud kins' Ointment." the proprietor avails himself of the tuthority granted to him in his letter* patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When 1 first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the in ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of t.ie process ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedv for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffle f the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Sr.hirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in wom-n’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcerated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description,or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of all kinds, la tliis complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the pari out of water; Stli Chilblains or parts affected by frost It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. j For inflamed women’s breasts arid glandular swel lings, it is superior to any me licme vet known to the m dic'd faculty It is much safer than mercurial ap plication*.

Mv complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition maybe explicitly unler stool.I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of '.lie symptoms of the disease. In Sep temher, 1812, I caught u severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a lever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, slid apparently, I wss regaining m\ health; when, after about three weeks, in tiie course ot the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health. I found my*ell" bleeding at the lungs. I had not. to my knowle fge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I sp it blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak A tew weeks determined that I was in a decline i received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Hut rel*pse upon r one hundred per mi nute, foul produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in tile breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some rough, ike. he. Such was my condition, w hen l first became acquainted with the II vgc'an Medicines commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a do^e, an increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten days, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound ami refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly ul) disappeared I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen After this, l took about four doses a week, until i bad taken about thirteen hundred pills, when I found my sell restored to health. After I commenced the Hyg ian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I w.s able to resume my stu.li s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease Hitlu rio 1 have been convalescent 5 and il my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am m ire free from temporary sickness, than a’ any time since my earliest recollec tion. fours, with respect, tiokace t. love.
