popular Mr. Smith.
I died on the 1st ol April, 1833, and if the reader will
go to the piii'li church of Smiihion, ask the sexton lor the
key, am'. laving gained admission, il lie will walk up the I
left hand side aisle, he will peiciiic tny family puw, he- !
neath which is my family vault, where my mortal remains
are now reposing; and against the wall uverlho very spot1
where 1 used to sit every Sunday, lie will see a veiy
handsome white marble monument; a female figure is re-!
presented in an attitude of dc pair, weeping over an um,
and on that utu is llie following in-epition : —
“ Sacred
to llie memory
ol
Anthony Smith, F.sq.
ot Shiitluou Hill,
who departed this life
on the I t of April, 1833.
I he Integrity ot his conduct and the amiability of his :
temper, endeared him
to a w[ile circle of friends:
he has lilt an inconsolable widow,
and by In r
this monument is elected.”
The gentle reader may now pretty well understand my
position when alive; popularity had always been my aim,
and my wealth and situation in society enabled me to at
tain ivhat I so ardently desired At county meetings— at
the head of rnv own table—among the poor ot the p.uj.h_
I was decidedly popular, and the name of Smith was al
ways breathed with a blessing or a commendation. My
wife adored me; no wonder, therefore, that at my demise
she erected a monument to my memory, and designated
liorsell, in all the lasting durability of marble, my “ iucon- i
sol able widow.” I had a presentiment that I should not '
be long-lived, but thi* rather increased my thirst lor po
polarity ; and feeling tlie improbability ol my living very
long in the sight ol Mrs Smith and my many dear triend*,
I was the more anxious to live in their I.. Nothing
could exceed my amiability— my life was one smile, my
sayings were com ituilory, my doings benevolent, my ques
tion* endearing, my an-wen nllhma ive. I was determln
c’. ihat tny wu*., iiiiV.'.c moii h;”;, rfisr.W b» -•ti.faclorv
to every botly. i silently studied I lie wants and wishes i
of those around me, and endeavored to arrange my hav
ings so lh.it each legatee should here.dlcr breathe my
name with a blessing, and talk of “ that dear, good follow
8inilh, al ways at the same time having recourse to a i
pocket handkerchief. I perpetually sat for my pictme,
and 1 give my resemblances to all th* dear friends who
were hereafter to receive “ tiie hem tit ol my dying.”
So far I have routined my narrative to the humdrum
probabilities of every diy lib-; wh.it I hive now to relate
may strike some ol my readers as less probable, Imt ne
vertheless, it is not one jot llie less true. I was anxious
not only to attain a degree of popularity which should
survive my brief existence, f putted 10 witness that po
pularity; unseen to see the tears tint would be shed,_
unheard to mingle with the mute mourners who would
lament my death. II here i* the advantage of being la
mented if one cannot hear the lamentations? Hut how
was this privilege to be attained? Ala-', attained it was;
Imt the means shall never be divulged to my rcadeis._
Never sh ill another Smith, self-rati fied and exulting in
Ins popularity, he taught by me to ste what I have seen,
lo feci tv hat \ have felt.
I had perused St. J.eon; I therefore knew that peri.e
ttialfy-renovated youth lux! been sought *nt! h.xl hern
bought. 1 had read Fiaiikensfein, and I had seen that
wonder*, equally astonishing and supernatural, had been
attained by mortals. I wanted to watch my own weep

coaches, ami road with my own eyes the laudatory para
graph that announced my own demise in the county
newspaper. 1 g due.I my point,—I did all thi*. and more

was certainly ;r.itili. .1; am! I will l ogin with tlm plea
santest part ol my own “post mortem examination.”
My own house (or rather the hou-e that had lieen mine)
looked dolcluI enough; no mirth, no guests, no mu-ic; the
servants in deep mourning, and s liati hment over the
door. My own wile (or rather my relirt) was a perfect
picture ol misery and mourning, in Ihe extreme of the
fashion. She heaved the deepest sighs, she wa« (rimmed
with the deepest crape, and worn the deepest hems that
ever were seen. I lie depth ol her despondency was tru
ly gratifying, if ere., p was most consciention-ly hideous,
and beneath its lol.ls, every hair ol her head lay hid.
She was a moving mass of enpe and bombasiu. In her
right hand was a pocket hsnkercliief, in her left, a smell
ing-bottle, and in her eye a tear. She was closeted with a
getuleman, but it was no itval — untiling to arou*e one
jealous ping in the bosom ol a departed husband. Ii was,
in fact, a marble mationic tattling. Sim was giving di
rections about my monument, nnd putting herself into the
attitude of lamentation, in whir h she wished to he repre- I
settled (an 1 is ieprcscii'c<l) bending over my urn; she
hurst into a torrent ol tears, ami in scarce articulate nr
cents, railed lor her “sainted Andrew.” When she came
a little to hefell, <lts grumbled SOtnewhat at the ex
travagance of tho estimate, knocking ofl here and there
smne little oi tiamcntal monumental decoration, bargaining
shout my inscription and cheapening my urn !
Him was interrupted by (lie entrance ol a milliner, who
was order I to prepare a Mark velvet clo.k, lined with
ermine; ami no expense was to be spared. Alas! thought
l. Ihe widow’s “Inky cloak” may well be warm; my
Mark m it ble covering will be cold comfort to her. ".Just
to amuse y mi, ma'am,” said the march ami tlct minim,
“do look at some tilings that aic going home for Miss
Jones s wedding.”
The wi low said nothing; and I thought it was with »
vac .mi eye that she gazed apalhetirally at satin, blonde,
and feathers white ss the driven snow. At length she
'tied s'triip 'y, 'I cannot—cannot wear them!” and'

I tie monument alrrady incii'i’on d opened “ ii< ponde
I'oik and maible j.uv-’ for the last .duo, mid in-. i*ihly |
g'hlcil to the gates ol my old domain. The old Doiic
bulge had been pulled down, and a (inline one, all thatch
and rough pole*, little windows nod creepers, (t sort of
cottage guite mail,) had been erected in its stead. I en
tered, and could not liml my way to my own house; the
road had been turned, obi trees had been l< lied, and new
plantations made ; points had been tilled up, and I ike* had
been dug ; my own little “ Temple to Friendship” was
nol to he found, hill a tompla dedicated to the'blind liod
h »d been erected in a conspicuous situation. “ Ah!”
thought l, “ her love is a Innied love, hut not the less
dear. 1 o me—to her dear departed—to her * sainted An
thony,’— this temple lias been dedicated!”
So entirely was the paik changed that I did not arrive
at the mansion until the hour ol dinner. There was a hus
tle at the hall door, servants were assembled in gay live
ries,carriages were driving up and setting down,and light*
gleamed troni the interior. A dinner party!—no harm in
that ; on the contrary I deemed it fortunate. Doubtless my
widow, still in the sober grey ol ameliorated mourning, had
summoned round lierlhe best and the dearest ol my fiie'ud*;
and though their griefs were naturally somewhat mel
lowed by time, they remembered me in their calm yet
cheerful circle, and fondly breathed my name ! Unseen
I passed into the diningroom—ill that i beheld was new to
me—the house had been new built ami a grander scale_
ami the furniture was magniticcnl! I cast my eyes round
the table, w here the guests wore now assembled Ob'
what bliss was mine! At the head sat my widowed wile
nil smiles, all loveliness, all pink silk ami flowers—not «o
young as when l last beheld her, Imt very hanthotne and
considerably fatter. At (lie foot (oh! wh.it a touching
compliment to me!) sat one of my oldest, deorost best of
friends, Mr. Mitts, the son ol abarom t who resided in mv
neighbourhood; hi* lather too was there, with his anti
quated lady, and the whi le i irclo was formed by person*
whom, living, I bad known ami loved. My friend at the
bottom ol the table did the honours well, (though he
omitted to do what I think he ought to have done_drink
•o my memory,) ami the only thing that occurred to startle
me before the removal ol dinner was my widow’s railing
him “ my r/rrir.” Hut there was something gratifying
even in that, for it must have been of me sho was think
in-; it was a slip „f the tongue, that plainly showed the
fond yearning ol the widowed heart.
Win n the dessert had been on the table, she railed to
one of the servant*, saying, “John, tell Muggins to bring
Hie children.” What could she mean? who was Mug
gin*? and what children did she wish to he brought—
I never had any children! I’.esenily the door flew open
and in ran eight noisy, healthy, beautiful brats. The
younger one* congregated round the hostess; hut the two
eldest, both line boy., ran to Mr. Milts, at the bottom of
the table, and each took possession ol a knee. They both
strongly resembled Mil's; and what was my astonishment
when he exclaimed, addressing my widow, “Mary, my
love, m»y I give them pome oraner?” J
What roulil lie mean hy “Mary, my lov.»?”_a singu
lar mn.lc of addressing a deceased friend’s relirl' But llie
in> sfery was soon explained. Sir Mirmaduke Mitts fill,
ed I..- glass, and after insisting that all the company should
lu 11 o w In* example, he said to his son, “Thisi* your birth
day, Jack; hoic syonr health, my boy, and may you and
Ma.y long live happy togethci! Come, my friends, (he
ne,'i“h e' Me. jjiJ Mr*. Mitts.”
So tin n, alter all, I had come out on an exceeding rnld
itny to sen my widow doing the honors a* Mrs Mitt*'
“ When is;your birthday?” said Sir Marmaduke to ids
ifaiighfrr inl.ivr.
“In June,” she replied; hut I have not been in the ha
bit ot keeping birthdays till lately: poor Mr. Smith could
not bear them to he kept.”
“ 1,11! a’’0'" i'oor Smith ?” said the surcesmr to
my liou<e, my vile, and my other appurtenances. •• Do
you *ay Smiili could not hear Idrili .1 it s ? Very silly of
him, then; hut poor Smith had his oddities.” * J
** Oh!” siid my widow, and Mr. Mins’* u;ife, <• We can
not always command perlei-lion; poor dear Mr. Sm ith
meant well, Imt every Ilian raunol be a .Mitts." She
smiled, and nodded down the fable ; Mr. Mi it* looked as
well he might, particularly j leased ; and then the ladies
left tin* room.
“Talking of Smith,” aaid Marmaduke,” what wretched
taste he had, poor man! This plarc was quite thrown
awav upon him; he had no idea of it* capabilities.”
“No," replied a gentleman, to whom I bad bequeathed
a legacy—“with the best intentions in the world, Smith
was really a very odd man.”
“II:s house,” added another, who u*ed to dine with m«
"net; limes a w erk, “was never thoroughly agreeable: it
was not hi* fault, poor fe'l iw.”
“No.no,” said a very old liien.l of mine, nt the same
lime taking suwtf Iruin a gold box which had been my eilt
“lie did every tiling for the best; but between ourselves!
Smith WU9 a bort*.**
“It is well,” said Mr. Mitts, “that talking of him has
not the cfi-Tt wliirli i* attributed to talking of another in
visible personage ! Let him rest in peace : for, il it were
possible that he could he re-snimated, his reappearance
here to claim Ins goods and chattels, and above all hi*
wit.-, would be attended with rather awkward conse
quences.”
So much lor my posthumous curiosity. Vain mortal
that I was, to suppose that alter a dreamless sleep of ten
I uig years, I could return to the land of the living, and
tin.l the place and the hearts that 1 once filled, mill unoc
cupied. In the v«iy handsome frame of my own picture
was now placed a portrait ot Joint Mitts, E*q ; mine was
thrown a*tde in an old lumber-room, where the sportive
children of n.y widow had recently discovered it, and
wni, their mimic swords had innoren ly poked out the
eyes ot what they were pleased to denominate “the dirty
picture ot an ugly man.” My presumption has been
propei ly rewstded: let no one wbo is called to his last ac

Cherokee, Oct. 5.
The Ciierokees.—The friends of Georgia must look
j to tho removal ol the Chcmkecs with increasing interest' !
nothing cornected with this subject can he more desira
ble to them, than they should leave our limits lor a place
more suited to their mode o( lilc.
The'*moiling agents. Major Curry and Colonel Hardin,
! are actively engaged; the turmer, however, has lor some
| tunc been rendered unfit lor the aiduous duties of his of
1 tire, by indisposition; this circumstance has coiiseiiiicntlv
throvvii an undue weight of toil on the latter. J
Some huts that tve published a slioit time since, relat
ing to Ihe Cherokee reservecs, seem to have excited con
siderable interest amongst that class. Upon further re
search, it is discovered that about (wo thousand imlividu
alsol that part of this tribe, now in Georgia, have hereto
fore enrolled for the west, while Governor M’Minn was
j .gent, and under Ihe stipulations ol the Treaty of 1817
they received upwards of nine thousand dollars, lor their
improvements, besides guns, blankets, kettle*, traps &c •
and yet they incumber some ol the best 1 mil in this sec’
I lion ol the State, and yet the drawers of these lands are
| forbid their enjoyment. Although we see in this act ol
Georgia, the utmost /oibearance and indulgence towards
this numerous class ol Cherokee*, y et do these same indi
viduals join the enemies of Georgia, and aiP |0ml in their
reproach, jeers and charges; we hope Georgia will no lon
ger do injustice to her White citizens lor the gratification
