In digging ponds in the interior of countries,-
it is found that, in some countries,
f hey abound in various fish. The soil bav-
in i been under the sea in remote ages, the
spawn may exist in the sand, the fish being
vivified by the access of water, just as the
arms of animalcule are revived by water.

Tt is said, the wise Italians make this pro-
verbial remark on our nation, viz. The .En-
glish eeZ, but they do not see; that is, they
.ire. sensible of inconveniences when they
die present, but do not take sufficient caie
go prevent them. Their natural courage
.nakes them too little apprehensive of dan-
irjr, so thJt tHey are6ften surprised by it,
unprovided of the proper meanof security.
When it is too late, they areensible of
t?ieir imprudence; after great fires, they
provide buckets and engines ; after a pes-
tilence, they think of keeping clean their
greets and common sewers ; when a town
Has been sacked by their enemies, they pro-
ide for its defence, &c. This kind of af-
fr) -wisdom is indeed so common among us,
as to occasion the vulgar, though very sig-
nificant saying, When the steed is stolen, you
shutihe stable door.
But the more insensible we generally are
of public danger, and indifferent when warn-
ed of it, so much the more freely, openly,
end earnestly, ought such as apprehend it
to speak their sentiments; that, if possible,
Jthose who seem to sleep may be awakened,
,o think of some means of avoiding' or pre-
senting the mischief, before it be too late.
Dr. Franklin.
A Tyrant It would be thought a hard
government that should tax its people one-
:enth of their time, to be employed in its
service; but idleness taxes many of us
much more, if we reckon all that is spent
in absolute sloth, or doing of nothing, with
that which is spent in idle amusements, or
employments that amount to nothing. Sloth,
by bringing on diseases, absolutely shortens
life. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than
labor wears, while the key, often used, is
always bright. Franklin.
Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of
a free government.
A- bon vivant, on mentioning the number
of corks which he had drawn on the pre-
ceding evening, was asked of how many
persons ttie party consisted; to which he
replied" "four. Patrick Burns was one;
the two M'Closkys was two; and myself
was three. Arrah, then, what a memory I
have, not to be able to recollect the other!
Tatrick Burns, as I said before, was one ;
the two M'Closkys was two ; and myself was
threo; the devil burn me but there was
four, for there was a very pleasant party ;
though, for the life ofme, I can't make out
more than three of them.
Earthly immortality. Napoleon being in
the gallery of the Louvre one day, attended
by baion Denon, turned round suddenly
from a "fine picture, which lie had viewed for
some time in silence, and said to him " That
is a noble picture, Denon' "Immortal,"
was Denon's reply. "How long," inquired
Napoleon, "will this picture la'st ?" Denon
answered that, "with care, and in a proper
situation, it might last, perhaps, five hundred
years. "And now long,; saici iapoieon,
"will a statue last:' ".Perhaps, replied
Denon, "five thousand years." "And this,"
returned Napoleon, sharply, "this jxm call
immortality !"

Persons holding subscription papers for the Tele-

practicable, 'that the papers may be fonvardeS to1 subscribers
Our readers will see that, in the title of
this paper, we have substituted thet word
"Register," in place of "Planter," chang-
ing its name from what was originally pro-
posed. At the time our prospectus was
published, the engrossing object was the
accumulation of wealth, and consequent ag-
grandizement of the country. Since that
time affairs have assumed an entirely diffe-
rent aspect, and the all-absorbing question
is how to protect ourselves, and what we
already possess. We shall therefore en-
deavour to make our paper what its title in-
dicates, the organLJH the most im-
portant news is conflHed to the peo-
ple, and a faithful register! passing events.
Under the head of "Documents relative to
the political state of the country, and to the
passing events," will be found a variety of
matter throwinglight upon the present situa-
tion of the country, among which some ar-
ticles which have been previously published
are inserted, in order to connect the chain
of events, and prepare the public mind for
what may follow. We would particularly
call the attention of the public to the circu-
larof the Committee of Safety of this place,
dated the 3d inst. as a document containing
a fund of information upon a subject in
which every citizen of Texas feels a deep
interest.
