Any person acquainted, like myself, with the circurn<;Stance, cannot possibly see how they es. caped as well as they have, for no hu. man understanding could have directed the shot the course they went, without killing some, more than one of the children.

' The Paris correspondent of the Nation- ' ml intelligencer says,? 1 Opinion is generally against us touch- < ing the detention of McLeod, and, in ease * any violence be done to him, will become j almost universal reprobation. The common judgment, too, in regard to the dispute about the boundary, is that our national Government, and Maine herself, should acquiesce in a liberal compromise 1 with Great Britain, whose assent has not K en doubted. I have directed my in I quiries especially to the points whether, in the event of hostilities, the French 4 Government would endeavor to preserve neutrality, and, if so, could compass that policy with a nation armed and excited rs France is at this moment in reference to Great Britain. The affirmative pre- < v lils on the first point, the negative on the , second.

' It may be pleasing to many lovers of J their country and friends of Christianity, to konw that the National call upon a great arid free people to fast and pray and humble themselves before God on Friday the 14ih inst, was responded to ' by the inhabitants of Chcraw and its vi. j trinity in a manner worthy of a thinking j people. The several churches were open it an early hour, an i when the bells told the hour of congregating, a most interesting spectacle appeared on every pathway leading to a church. Heads of families with their children were seen nuking inxinus steps each to the place of his . choice; while the young ladies and gen-' tlcmcn generally were pressing on war J to ! some house of worship. At the M. E. | Church (for here the writer chanced to! be) was a large and serious congregation who listened with deep interest to a mosl appropriate sermon delivered by the Preacher of the station, and corresponding in its first division to the melancholy event which prompted the appointment of a National Fast. During the progress of the sermon, the necessity lor a national fast was ably brought to view, and shewed to consist principally in national sins, one amongst the most prominent of which was the desecration of the christian sabbath by carrying the mail on that ho'yday. * -nilllnnnfl'rmmcn dnilbticss dcorocatc .1 IIIMIIWil VI IIVVMV^M ? ? this? great evil.

Reader! if you have lived to be one and twenty without having learned that time is money?more emphatically money than dollars and cents,?yon had better begin your A B C again. If you have made your own fortune, beware of robbing your friends of their time, whose fortunes are yet to be achieved by industry. Nev. er enter a merchant's store, a mechanic's shop, or a lawyer's office, for the purpose of mere conversation: ifyou have business with cither, despatch it as soon as you can. Take it for granted, that every I man of sense knows 4,thc present value of minutes," and endeavors tolet no particle of time fall useless to the ground. Industry, perseverance, punctuality and integrity are all greatly advanced by earl)* rising. A young man may learn many scienciesand languages merely by making proper use of the early hours of daylight in the Summer season?Early rising is perhaps bv some considered a vulgar habit?therefore, it is a thing well enough for mechanics and laborers, but bv no I means to be adopted by the higher class, cs of Society. But those who think so, cither know nothing of the biographies ?f pgun.cnt men or have perused thcm? with *r? littlo attention* It is indisputable that O few men ever lived to a great age, and cfewer still ever became distinguished for ^ their abilities, who were not in tho habit j of early rising. If you rise late, of cours C{ you cannot get about your business till a ;j( late hour, and thcncvery thing goes wrong ii throughout the day. Dr. Franklin says, 44 that he who rises late, may trot all day a and will not have overtaken his business *' at night," indeed, it may be confidently ^ affirmed, that he who is in the habit of i early rising in his youth, will he m jeh , more likely to live to an old age, more ,i likely to he a distinguished and useful t man in S*>ciety, and more likely to pass ? a pleasant and peaceful life, than he who J ! makes a practice of lying in bed till a late , [ ho ir in the day, as many do.
