In every condition of life, the person who will deliberately utter falsehoods, is very properly considered worthless. Lying is a vice, so utterly degrading,. that- in' all ages slid iis all, states of society. universal contenipt and odium has been the portion of him whb. practices it-not only because of theumibchief and injury resulting from its practice, but because it is the meanest { and most cowardly of all the vices to which poor human nature is subject. Truth, consequently, has ever been considered the first -requisite in the character of a gentleman ; and there is no instance on record of an officer of the Army or Navy being convicted of falsehood, who was permitted to remain in service. The law of the, land declares. that an officer guilty of conduct unbecoming a gentleman, shall be cashiered ; and by universal consent, a falsehood is considered a erime within the meaning of the.law, and punished, both in the British and American service, by deg radation. So utterly disgraceful has false hood -been' considered in all ages, that since the introduction of duelling, the charge of falsehood has ever been deemed abundaat cause for a resort to an appeal to arms, because if true, the party accused ceases to be considered worthy the asso ciation . of gentlemen. And the same spirit is apparent in the fact that, among boys of every class, and rowdies of every color, the lie is always considered good cause for a fight. "If, then, by universal consent, false. hood in a private individual is considered so disgraceful and degrading, how much more unpardonable is it in the conductor of a public press-who not only disgraces himself, but seeks, by falsehood, to do in jury to a :hird party and mislead the pub lic?" From the Boston Star. COURTrING" vs. *-ATTENTION." This subject 'which, always important, is daily becoming peculiarly so, and we design to call the attention of the young people occasionally, in the hope of arrest ing the progress of an alarming and de structive evil. Young ladies are bound to fall in love as soon as possible, and bound to be bound to a partner for life, as soon as the necessary preliminaries can be madte-such as get tinga lover, fascinating hi thoroughly. being courted, having the question p.ipped, eitting the weddiu garmients: ioiarrY.. married: '!hEe youtrg ma to sHound toi' be gallant and polite. and to adnmire' withoutr stint, allthe pretty girls known and un knon-tordoff the beaver, offer t he arm; invite to the ride, the theatre. and the pleasant saunter-in short, to do all the sundriese@ded to,how his detotion andf gallattyr.IwartltO sex unlit some en chgtress hrow ;hPr spell'drounl him, and 'b hiks,ridbdued into a common placelindifterent, careless Benedict. Now. out of these things' grow dificul ties. A young man admires a pretty girl and'snust manifest it ; he can't help doing soffdr the, life of him. The young lady has a tender heart, reaching out like vein tendrils for something to cling to, she sees the admiration; is flattered, begins soon to, love, expects some tender avowal. and gets so far as to decide 'she will choose a white satin under, a thin gause, &c., at the very moment that the gallant she half loves, is popping the question to anotier damsel ten miles off. Now the difficulty lies iii not precisely understanding the difference between polite attention and the tender manifestations of sighing love. Admiring a beantiful girl, and wishing to make a wife of her are not the sama thing, and therefore it is necessary that a datmsel should be upon 'the alert to discover to, which class the attenttons paid her by handsome and fashionable' young gentle. men belong. It is hard to draw the exact liteof separation, between polite atten tions and downwright. courting, but ojur great age and extensive expierience have tnabled us to observe enough to aid thme young and artless tnaideu, in deciding uton this matter. First, theti-if a young fellow greets you in a loud, free and hearty tone-tf he knows precisely wvhere to put his hat or his hands, if he stares you straight in the eye with his own wide open-if he turns his back to' you to speak to another-if he tells you' who made his coat-if he squee zes yo'ur hand--if he eats heasttiy in your preenc-if he fails to talk kindly to your mother-if lie sneezes when you are sang ing, criticises your curls, or fails to be very foolish in fifty ways every .hourgthea don't fall in love wilihiurf'or (leorf, he' rinily asiief ou, let' hun do or say what lie eny liut if h'e be merry wvith every one, butt quiet with von-if he be anxious to see that your tea is sufficiently sweetened anid yor dear peraoir fell wrapped up when you go' out in the cold-if he talks very low anid never looks you' steadily in the eye-if this cheeks are r-ed-or if he be' ple and bie n'sa but blush, it is enough 'if he romps with your sister ; .sighs like a pair of old' b2elows, looks s'olemo whben you are addressed' ihy another genleiman,. and in fact is themrost' siil awk war4, stu pid, yet anxious of 611 your mate friends, Nou may go ahead and invoke the' shafts of Oupid with perfect safety, and make the poor fello'w too happy for his skim to holdhdin.

HARPER'S FERRY. The scenery around rhe village of Har per's Ferry ; on the Virginia Shore of the Potomac River, is among the most wild and grand we have ever seen ; not excepting the Niagara Falls.. The great eataract is not there, but all the other ele ments of stupendous and terrific grandenr present themselves on every hand. Mr. Jefferson thought it was worth a voyage lotn Europe to view this scenery. Geol ogists number this place among the many in our country where an -immense lake has broken through its mountain barrier, and found an outlet to the ocean. The great Blue Ridge, in which the gap has been made for the passage of the waters. corresponds in its geolgical formation on the opposite shores a4the Potomac. The rock is the same, and the jagget projec tions, from the base to the summit, indi ate the violence of the disruption by which they have been separated. The altitude of the peaks also correspond, though the ascent is more precipitous on the Virginia than the Maryland side.: The actual height of the mountain, men cured from the river, we do not know ; but it makes one's head dizzy to look up to the top of its brow on the Virginia side, from the 'point of rocks" on the other ide of the Potomac ; through which a passage has been cut, or rather blown, for ho 'Baltimore and Ohio Railroad," and he Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which run side by side at this place, until they reach a point nearly opposite the village )f Harper's Ferry, where the railway erosses the river, and pursues its way through Virginia until within a (ow miles af Cumberland, its present eastern termi nus, it crosses the stream again, into Ma rylatd, hlarper's Ferry is a thriving place, not only from its situation on the canal and railway, but from the immense armory which the General -Government haji es tablished there long before'either of thcse great enterprises had been thought of. The water power is-immense and unfailr ing nud the manufacturing- of arms-is ar -O tip 6A mest to a ~nt eyeae di e'are not aware that ar,y -cannon 'are cast at ithis ildee; thoifgh our stay wa., too short to allow any particular absorvntionts. On one occasion we were kinilly conducted through (be various on I nig'tty esta'lish meats, but recollect no foundery for can tin those engines of slaughter. which have become, in modern times, the prin cipal reliance of armies. The Shenandoah River, having colle ted its tribute from the innumerable streanis by which tle pine country on the western side of the blue Ridge, in Virgin ia, is drained, disembogues its waters into the Potomac at .Harper's rlry ; but neither the principal nor tributary stream is navigable, except fur rafts in time of freshets. Both rivers have a rapid decent from their sources in the mountaini, and moreover flow over rocky heds. But a fine canal, from tidewater at Georgetown, and Alexandria in she District of ' olum bin, has nearly reached Cuniperland, at the foot ofthe Alleghany Mouttain., and will soon be completed to that place ; to which town the railway has already reached, and has also' a stem stretching away to the town of Winchester itt Wes terrn'Virginia, and another to Frederick City in Maryland. Both canal aurd rail way are designed ultimately to contnect the A tlantic Ocean with the waters of the "Greast West." The great Cumberland Valley, .whicht stretches itself out fronm the Potomac River, northward throughi the states df Maryland atnd Pennsylvania, and south ward throtugh the state of Virginia, and lying between :he Blue Ridge atnd the Alleghany Mountains, comtmences at the junctiotn of the Shenandoah attd thme Poto mac. It abounds with. limestonte, and frmns one of the most fertile regiouts of our, country. It is, undoubiedly, exceeded in depth of soilyby some districts west of the Alleghanies, but no part of the United States produces larger crops or wheat, or, in some part of it. of Indian corn, and grass. Wheat, however, is the great sta ple, and the average product, per acre, is not, perhaps, equaled in any portion of the Western States.., The great labor andf epense of' trainsporfation to .rii'atlet fot: merly lessoned the val'u( of rand4 In life Virginian portion ofthis-valley, but~nla branch of the B'altitmore and Ohio Kdi way offers a ready convegance foir allgtd rich productions to the -Monumentattity, or to the~ canal, by which it is'sent to Georgetowvn and Alettandris; while the iiniimen'se mines' of iron anil doal in the monnain's near Cumberland already be gin to pour their treasures into these cities by the same conveyances.

We could tev hung higm ourselves, but we didn't want to hev no lyitchin' about it, and determined to hev the sheriff, who is duly authorized ta hang folks, to choke him off' 'Well, gentleinct, [ saddled up old San ta Anna, an' we started uf. we-n I got to the place thar was' about a hundred folks thar a waitin' for me. some gray headed old chaps, an' some red-headed young one's, an' thar was ahe culprit, too, about as tienti a lookin' white moan as I ever did see; he was a reg'iar built cus, an' wvhen he was plated out I did'nt feel very bad at the idea of hangin' of him.'

Dorrill. agedl 94. relates an interesting ac. count of the manner in which, many years since, a strange fanaticism with which he was infecied was beaten out of him by main force. . Mr. Dorrill was a refugee*from. the British armny, under Gen. Burgofse, and was, 1797, the leader of a fhnatical sect. who pretended to- be possessed :of.super natural powers and armedjwith thie lowerd of the Deity, and that it was not in the -power of man to hurt them. Dorrill and his followers abstained from-.eating fiesnl made useaof neithe- food nor cloihing that was procured at the expense of life. And Dorrill assured his. followers if tocy had full faith in him they would never die. They put ol their leather shoes and had others made of cloth or wood, and lived upon milk and vegetables. One was a blacksmith, and he procured and used a pair of cloth bellows They discarded. all revelations, except what Dorrill received, set at defian:e all the laws of man, and were governed in all their conduct, as he expressed it, 'by the light of nature.' Meetings were held once a week at which their worship principally consisted in eating, drinking, singing, Fiddling and dancing-and hearing lectures from Dorrill, who was well qualified for that purpose. They had a covenant, by wvhich they placed a farge share of thieir,property in -common stock, and thme .blacksmith became their treasurer. In a short time Dor rill collected a large society. among wvhom w ere ~sgme very respectable families int the togns of -Leyden and Bernardston, Massiphneectts, people went from all the neighboring towns to hear and see all the maarvellous'doings of -Dorrill and his associates. -At length, at one of the meetings, goodly -number having assembled, Dorrill: oplened with music. andt begana to -deliver his lee: tures, A t that . meeting, one- Ezekiel Foster, of Leyden attended, as spiectamor.
