There are twelve of them, says the London Times,
“ and we think that they are among the best efforts of
the most graceful and fanciful English lyric poets.”
If thou would’st havo me sing and play,
As once I played and song.
First take this timo worn lute away,
And bring one freshly strung.
Call back the time when Pleasure’s sigh
First breath’d among the strings ;
And Time himself, in flitting by,
Made music with Iuh wings.
Take, take the worn out lute away,
Anri'bring one newly strung,
If thou would’st have mo sing and play,
As once I played and sung.
But low is this though new tho lute,
And shining fresh the chords,
Beneath this hand they slumber mute,
Or speak but dreamy words.
In vain I seek tho soul that dwelt
Within that once sweet shell,
Which told eo warmlv what it felt,
And felt—what nought could tell.
Oh ask not, then, for passion’s lay
From lute so coldly strung ;
With this I ne’er can sing or play
As once I played and sung.
No—bring that long loved lute again,
Though chilled by years it be.
If thou wilt call the slumbering strain,
Twill wake again for thee,
Though time have froz’n the tuneful stream,
Of thoughts that gushed along,
One look from thee, like summer’s beam,
Will thaw them into song.
Then give, oh give that wakening ray,
And, once more blithe and young,
Thy bard again will sing and play
As once he played and sung.

means, cousin to the whole family. And that
aint all—she is one of your first chop ladies.
There's no mistake about it; she is the top
of the pot in Portland ; real superfine upper
crust; and up to all manner of gentility. I
tell ye what, we had to mind our p’s and q’s
when she first come here, or we should dis
graced ourselves directly. Hannah, mv wife,
was scart out of a year's growth, at the first
sight of her, all dressed out in her silks and
snttins, and shirt sleeves as large as meal bugs.
It was something just about a hair finer than
~ she ever seen before. And even I was put
up to all I knew, to get along through the
ceremonies ou the grand occasion. But 1 am
an old hand at your compliments, and I give
her some samples that she did’ut expect to
see.
Good Lordy ! just to see me at the table!
setting up so prim, and mincing and taking
small mouthfuls. Hannah was ready to split,
and had to look tother way to save laughing
right out. She declares 1 took two bitea at
a bean. But 1 minded well what I was about,
aud did’nt make a single slip. Catch me
wiping my chops on the table cloth, or pick,
ing my teeth with a fork, in such company,
Then such apologizing and politeness andpo-
king the victuals at her ! Hannah says, if
she did’nt get enough to eat it was’nt my fault
And whenever the lady said <• Mr. Beedle, I'll
trouble you for this thing and that"—I always
spoke right up with “ O, marm that trouble
is a pleasure."
Finally our cousin had to come out and
ty, that she was surprised to find “ so civil
ized a being, so far up the country," and she
conld’nt invent how, nor where, 1 had pick
ed up so much politeness, as 1 had never
been to Portland.
Well, my lady bad hardly been in the
house two hours, before she begun to ass me
about the prospects here in the country. « O,
says 1, “ pretty fair, considering. Hay will
come in short, owing to drouth in the spring
but the potatoes look well, and corn is going
to turn out a grand crop.”
“Mr. Beedle,” says she, “I have heard
before you was'a funny man. 1 am going to
look for myself.” With that she claps on
Marm Peabody's old sun bonnet, and out she
goes, dragging wife and me after her, through
the fields. And away she streaked it, through
bush and briar, and over fences and stone wall
’twas neck or nothing, but no whow. And
her tongue was running, all the time, as fast
as her legs, every mite and grain. Some
times I understood what she said, and some
times I did’nt. But when I did’nt understand,
I made as if I did, and she was none the wiser.
“ Mr. Beedle,” says she, ** don’t you ad.
mire the beauties of the country ?”
“ I used to, marm,” says I, « before I
was married; but now, you know, that won’t
do at all.”
«• O, you are a queer little man, always
thinking of the girls—I am speaking of the
beauties of nature.”
“ O ho—you mean the beauties of nature.
Sartoin I admire the beauties of nature, and
always did.”
By and by we got to the top of Bareback
hill, and all at once she begun to play such
antics that, I thought she was stung by a
bumble bee. «< My stare,” says she, “ what
a charming prospect! beautitul, delightful,
pictorickstick ! Come here, good folks. This
is the spot to look from. Is’nt that inchan.
ting?”
At this Hannah she stretched her neck and
stared all round, without saying a word, for
she could make nothing out, and she did’ut
know how to hide her ignorance. But I
blurted right out. Ooooo ? I sniggers!” says
I, “ if that don’t take the rag off the bush.
That banga every thing. It’s equal to cash.”
“ I don’t see nothing John,’.’ says Hannah,,
says she, “ what is it ?”
“ Why look,” says I, « can’t you see your
eyes ?”
“ Where, where?”
“ There, there,” says I, and give a sort of
a jupe with my head ; for l could’nt point any
where particular. 1 had both hands in my
pockets. But Hannah would’nt be quiet.
•> Shew me what it is, John this minnit,” says
she ; and so she kept worrying me, till our
cousin spoke up, and says she, “ is it possi
ble Miss Beedle, that you have lived here all
your life time and never found out the beau
ties of this spot?” “Yes,” says I,-“is it pos.
sible ?”
Hannah now begun to get ryled, as I see
plaiu enough. When her under lip begins to
curl over downwards, there’s no joke in it.
But Mrs. Gibbons took her by the hand, and
spoke so kind and suaut, that she soon brought
her to reason. And while she was pointing
out and shewing her how many hills and hol
lows and woods and meadows it took to make
a prospect, I had a chance to breathe a little.
But 1 haTdly had time to think how nicely I
had. walked over that pole before the lady
bust out again—and this time, she fairly
scroumod. Faith, I’d a good will to cut and
run, for thinks I, « I shall never be able to
hoe my row through another prospect as long
as I live.”
But it was nothing after all—great cry and
little wool. It was only the sun setting. It
come out of a cloud and shew a great red
face about two minutes and then went down
behind the White Mountains. And our cous-
made as great a towse about it as if heaven
and earth was coming together.
Howsoever our cousiu is a right down nice,
clever woman, any how. Hannah got more
than one new wrinkle, while she staid. She
learnt her to sing, and wanted to learn her to
play the pyanny, but bad’ut the means. O,
she set9 every thing by Hannah. But she
did’nt like our calling oue another <> John and
Hannah.” Says she, “ you should say my
dear and my love. n But the first time we
tried to practice Rearing and loving, we burst
right out a laughing in each others faces, and
there woe an end on’t. Says marm, says she,
*» they’ll never swallow that no how. It won’t
go down.”
When she was going away, she insisted upon
it that we must come down to Portland and pay
back her visit. She says I shall be a lion
when I get there and take the shine off of
all the Portland gentlemen. • But she was al
ways joking and jesting with me, and I don’t
know half the time, whether she means what
she says or not. Any bow I mean to let my
whiskers grow (l cut them off last spring at
Bheep-shearing) and see what will turn up
next winter, when the sleighing comes round.
Who knows ?

it the nullificrs, as a party will support him;
t this is nothing more than a guaranty of

We do not mean that the political conduct
the nullifiers' candidate has entirely eo.

andard of Union has brought up m testimo-
' against hitn, a vote which he gave, in the
sgislature of 1830. While a bill was be.
re the house of representatives, for the surl
y of that territory which now constitutes tlvo
even Cherokee counties, General Beat,
en of Twiggs, now of Bibb, offered the (vU
wing servile, cringing, dastardly proposition,
an additional enacting clans?.
“And be further enacted, That nothing ia

s to proceed with the survey, os contempla.
d by this act, until he shall be satisfactorily
formed, by the President of the United States,

it be employed to .prevent srid survey and

Here ia a direct proposition, that the state

ie president, that if he shall think proper for.
ibly to usurp most essential and valuable
ights of the state, rights which she has never
urrendered, and of which she is now in the
nil exercise, Georgia will meanly crouch be-
>eath the rod; that like a vile coward, she
rill patiently submit to the usurpation. For

man who is proclaimed by the nullifiers, as a

such a claim to notoriety, it would be better
for him to hide his head in the deepest gloom
of obscurity, where he might shun the indig

solidation to know what he is.
We did not nominate Judge Schley to please
the nullifiers, for to undertake such a task,
would be utterly hopeless, as alt experience
proves. We never have pleased them with
a single nomination which we have made since
the existence of the present parties, nor have
we placed a candidate before the people for
any prominent office, that they have not bran
ded as a federalist and submission man ?—
We know of none, nor do we believe there is
a man in the whole Union ranks who would
not tlave been scouted and abused, had he
been placed where Judge Schley now stands.
Let them goon.-—We heed them not; and
while they are wasting their strength in fruit
less efforts to traduce and undervalue the
characters of our best and wisest men, we
will press on to victory.
The celebrated Baron Humboldt calling
on President Jefferson one day, was received
into his cabinet. On taking up one of the
public journals which lay upon the table, be
was shocked to find its columns teeming with
the most wanton abuse and licentious calum
nies against the President. He threw it down
with indignation, exclaiming, « Why do you
not have the fellow hung who dares to write
these abominable lies ?” The President smil
ed at the wrath of the Baron and replied,
“What? hang the guardians of the public
morals? No, sir, rather would I protect the
spirit of freedom which dictates even that de
gree of abuse. Put that paper into your pock,
et, my good friend, carry it with you to Eu
rope, and when you hear any doubt the reali
ty of American freedom, show them that pa
per, and tell them where you found it.”—
“ But is it not shocking that virtuous charac
ters should be defamed?” replied the Baron
“ Let their actions refute such libels. Believe
me,” continued the President, “ virtue is not
long darkened by the clouds of calumny; and
the temporary pain which it causes is infinite
ly over-weighed by the safety it insures
against degeneracy iu the principles and con.
duct of public functionaries. When a man
assumes a public trust, he should consider
himself as public property.”
The terrors of even death are no terrors to
the good—restrain thy hand from evil, and
iby soul shall havo nothing to fear. -
The Nuiaifiebs’ Candidate.—Consider,
ing the warm temper of the times, Judge
Dougherty has escaped to a great extent the
animadversions of his political opponents.—
This comparative exemption from reproach,
this ease which a candidate for high office is
permitted to enjoy, proceeds sometimes from
one cause, and sometimes from another of a
very different character. A candidate may
be so pre-eminent in his qualifications, as to
be superior to reproach; his high talents and
uniform virtues may command universal admi.
ration. The Southern Recorder has been
weak enough recently to rank Judge Dough
erty among men of high talent, and#eminent
virtue; but this cannot account for the for-
bearance of the Union press towards this can
didate; for none but nullifiers have as yet
been so keen-sighted as to . discover in the ex
judge any qualification to raise him above the
dull level of mediocrity. Tho moderation of
the Union press towards him has been nothing
but a contemptuous silence. They look up
on him as a feeble candidate, who is brought
forward to endure certain defeat. The an
nunciation of his name as a candidate for the
highest office in the State produced unfeigned
surprise among the Unionists—surprise that
any party, however desperate, should have
selected him as its candidate; and we believe
that the same surprise was felt by very many of
the individual members of the party to which
he belongs. He has drifted with
and has fully participated in ifs madness, if he
The present is such an age of miracles, thdt
hardly anything is too incredible to be believ
ed, and with the aid of the new lights which
recent developements have thrown upon thcr
world, almost any thing may be satisfactorily
accounted for. The stories of the white black
birds that laid locusts* eggs and hatched hum.
bugs, and of the snakes that swallowed each
other go down easy, after witnessing the gorge-
ment of Judge White and the “Force Bill”
by the Nullifiers, and the anomalous brood
that shelters under the wings of the Opposi-
tion. It is easy enough to see how all this
can have happened, and how the Sea Serpent
himself might be Jonahized by the new sys
tem ofSnakifcation; but how in the shape of
all impossibilities made possible, the Nullifi
ers of Georgia can assume the brazen-faced
impudence, to make tbe least pretension to
political honesty, while the coursd they are
pursuing is such a palpable contradiction to all
such pretensions, and to accuse the Union
party of inconsistency, is more than we or#
prepared to explain.
Have not the Nullifiers made the most sol.
earn declarations, that they would go all
lengths for State rights, and, that with State
rights, they would stand or fall 1—that tho
doctrine of State rights was as dear to them
as the crimson cu rrent of life, which if neces.
sary, they would spill in its defence ? How,,
then, forgetting all these, can they support
Judge Dougherty for Governor, whose regard
fer State rights is shown on the records of tho
State, by his vote in 1830, that the exercise
