M'otaau.
For roughest path, in darkest glooms.
There is a star with bright, clear ray;
There is a flower that ever blooms,
And like a rose tree ’mid the tombs,
With beauty glads our way.
’Ti.s Woman sheds so fair alight
Upon this weary pilgrimage :
She is the flower whose beauty bright
Fills youth with visions of delight,
And gladdens sinking age.
In vain each thing may smi'e around,
No joy can be where she is nots
But where her angel form is found,
The wilderness is magic ground,
The desert a most holy spot.
The Ltickf Call.
A country curate, visiting his flock.
At old Rebecca’s cottage gave a knock.
“ Good morrow Dame, I mean not anv libel.
But in your dwelling have you got a Bible 1”
“ A Bible, sir.” exclaimed she in a rage,
“ D’ye think I’ve turned a Pagan in my age 1
Here. Judith, haste, and run up stairs my dear,
’Tis in the drawer.be quick and bring it here.”
The girl return’d with Bible in a minute.
Not dreaming for a moment what was in it;
When, lo : on opening it at parlor door,
Down fell her spectacles upon the floor.
Amaz’d she stares, was for a moment dumb,
But quick exclaim’d, “ Oh, Sir,I’m glad you're come,
’Tis six yeais since these glasses first were lost.
And I have missed them to my poor eyes cost.”
Then as the glasses to her nose she rais’d.
She clos’d the Bible, saying—“ God be praised.”

the greatest hardship, to which the meanest of
the emigrants to Georgia were exposed.
Oglethorpe was horn at Godaiming, proba
bly Dec. 21, 16S8. Of his early childhood
nothing is known. At the age of 16, we find
him entering Oxford; but having a passion
for arms, he very soon left the walks of litera
ture. In 171-1 he was in command ofthe first
j given by Mr. Wesley, shows that lie wat ac
cessible to judicious reproof.
“ Mr. Wesley hearing an unusual noise iu
the cabin of General Oglethorpe, stepped into
inquire the .cause ol it. On which the Gener
al thus addressed him; ‘Mr. Wesley,yon most
excuse me. 1 have met with a provocation
too much for a man to bear. Yon know that
the only wine I drink is Cyprus wine, as it
agrees with me the best of any. I therefore
provided nivself with several dozens of it, and
this villain Grimaldi,’ (bis foreign servant, who
stood trembling with fear) - has drunk up the
whole of it. But I will he revenged otLhim.
I have ordered him to be tied hand and loot,
and carried to the man of war that sails with
ns. The rascal should have taken care not to
have served me so, for 1 never forgive.’—
‘ Then 1 hope, sir,’ (said Wesley, looking calm
ly at him,) ‘von never sin,* The General
was confounded at the reproof; and putting
his hand into his pocket, took out a bunch of
keys, which he threw at Grimaldi, saying,
‘There, take my keys, and behave better for
the future.’”
A Straw Ride.
lb our youngest days, says the .Veto York
Commercial Advertiser, we have been one of
divers riding parties. We have enjoyed the
delights of a sleigh-ride, bare-back, a crate-ride,
a plank-ride, a coach-ride, a cider-mill-ride,
and sundry other varieties. More recently we
have ridden in a cab, in a stage-coach, an
omnibus, a rail-road car, and a—no, we
have never had a ride in a balloon or on a
rail. But there is, it seems, yet another kind
of a ride, which we had never even heard ot
—a straw ride. It is found, we learn, in New
Jersey, and is tints described by a correspon
dent of the Boston Post, who writes from our
pleasant sister city, Newark.
“Some quite respectable and very pretty
young ladies invited me (knowing that 1 am a
confirmed bachelor) to accompany them on a
straw ride. I accepted the invitation, though
what a straw ride might he 1 could not con
jecture. At the appointed hour, next day, l

A Joyful Surprise.
On the morning of the first day of the late
election an interesting sight might have been
witnessed in a low, dilapidated dwellingsome
where in this good ly city. At the place and
lime mentioned there might have been seen,
sitting at a scantily furnished breakfast table,
a man with good phrenological developments,
be brought to fight as has never before been
experienced since the Falls ofNiagarn.
Now, gentlemen, l want to make a brilliant
appeal to the kind sympathies of your itater,

troop ofthe Queen’s Guard. While in the
exertise of Ins duties in this situation, his fine
figure, soldierly deportment, and personal
bravery attracting the notice of the Duke of
Mailhoroush, he was so highly recommended
to Prince Eugene, that he was immediately
received into his service.
At the siege of Teineswater, which filled
not only Germany, hut all Europe with joy,
Oglethorpe acted as the Prince’s Aid De Camp.
He was also with Prince Eupene, at the cel
ebrated battle of Belgrade, in 1717, soon after
which, be returned to England, not liein? de
sirous of continuing in the army in a time of
peace.
In 1722 he was elected to Parliament, where
he continued through various administrations,
for thirty years, distinguishing himself by
ninny able speeches. He seems to listve been
the pioneer ot the celebrated Howard, iu amel
iorating' the condition of the prisoner, for
about 172S be introduced into the House of
Commons a resolution to inquire into the state
of the jails of the metropolis, his attention hav
ing been called to the suhject, and his feelings
keenly awakened by seeing a gentleman in
the Fieet prison loaded with irons.
In June 1732 the letters patent for settling
Georgia were obtained, and ns early as Nov.
16, of the. same year, the emigrants, accompa
nied by Gen. Oglethorpe, and Rev. H. Herbert,
embaiked in a gallery of'200 tons burden, cal
led the Ann. On the 13th Jan. 1733, they nr
rived at Charleston, where they remained but
about ten hours, and proceeded on their voy
age to Beau fort. Gen. Oglethorpe and Capt.
Bull, leaving the others at this place, pro
ceeded by themselves, and on the 21st Janua
ry, for the first time, ascended the Bluff at
Savannah, called by the Indians, Yatnncraw.
Having fixed upon Ynmacravv as the site of
the future city, the emigrants were all brought
tip and immediately commenced the erection
of suitable habitations.
The deportment of the General was such
as Co render him beloved by all the emigrants,
who generally greeted him with the endear
ing appellation of Father, Well did he de
serve tlie epithet. Iu all their difficulties he
was their umpire, and his decisions were sel
dom objected to as unsatisfactory or partial.
Having established order iu the colony, in
1731 he returned to England, taking with
him several Indian chiefs, among whom was
Tomo Chichi, who were presented to their
Majesties. He succeeded in the object of his
visit to England, and returned again to Geor
gia in 1735, accompanied by the Rev. Charles
Wesley, clergyman of eminent piety, as also
by a number of hardy and industrious High
land emigrants. He thus continued to labor
for the welfare of the colony, crossing and re
crossing the Atlantic seversil times for its ben
efit, at all times devoting himself most sedu-
nnsly to its interests both with his sword on
the battle field, and his wisdom in the council
chand>er, watching over its feebleness, and
cherishing its growth, till it no longer needed
his fostering care, when he removed to Godnl
ming, on the 15th Sept, united himself to Miss
Elizabeth Wright. From this time he resided
principally at Cranlmm Hall, which he be
came possessed ot by his marriage, in the en
joyment of uninterrupted health, ihe posses
sion of worldly competence, and those heart
cheering comforts which he was so eminently
qualified to enjoy.
The retention of his eyesight was rcnmrka
hie. and our plate represents him as reading
without spectacles, the catalogue at the sale of
Dr. Samuel Johnson’s Library, but a few
months before his death, which took place on
the 30th of Jnne, 1785, at 97 years of age.
Notwithstanding the General was said by
some to be passionate, the following anecdote,
wagon. Tlie inside of the body, which was
set upon the axietrees without the interven
tion ot Springs, was partly tilled with nice
clean straw ; over this, buffalo skins ware
spread, and altogether the affair looked pretty
comfortable. The young ladies had invited
some of their friends, including a young gen
tleman of tlie city, so that we made a party of
about a dozen.
All being ready, we proceeded to the scene
of action. Here a nice manoeuvre was neces
sary iu order to pack us all iu, in good shape.
First, a lady on one side sat down on the bot
tom ; then one opposite, the feet ofeach touch
ing the sides of the wagon. in this way we
got in onr cargo ; myself being placed about
the middle, and the other masculine at the ex
tremity of tlie wagon. Here was a pretty fix,
to be sure ! Such a mingling of limbs! 1
suggested the propriety of chalking to prevent
mistakes ; but the young ladies declared there
was uo necessity, as they each knew their
own. The black driver perched himself upon
the front ofthe vehicle, and off we started, the
fair proprietress ol our antidyspeptic machine
giving him his direction. “Now Ctesar, do
you drive up the river [the Passaic] ou the far
ther batik, until you come opposite Belleville ;
and mind you don’t miss one stone on the
road, and don’t you stop, whatever is said to
you, unless the bottom comes out. A display
oi ivory was Ccesar’s significant response, and
away we went, Inline ton like, rattling through
the streets, and across the bridge, with our
teeth dancing to a lively tune.
Once out of the city, and a strait road
ahead, Caesar plied his lash, and the nags tiew
like mad. The road is none ofthe smoothest,
and the driver obeyed his directions to a letter.
Imagine our appearance. Such a giggling of
ladies—such galvanic like distortions of heads,
and such a thumping of the wagon bottom !—
Oh! The recollection of it makes me sit tinea
sy in my chair. We were passing along the
banks of the Passaic—a few vessels were lazi
ly dropping down with the tide, their soils
flapping against the masts—and I shall not
easily forget the appearance the scene presen
ted ; it wits precisely the same as though 1
was looking thro’ a window glass full of wrin
kles. On we went, up hill and down, over
stones and across galleys. “Stop, Cffisar,’
said one pretty girl; “do stop, my hair is all
coming down.” Caesar -was deaf. _ . Divers
were the complaints of disarrangement ol
dress, but all to no purpose. My colleague
in the department was somewhat of an exquis
ite, and had just furnished his head with one
of Leary’s hats. An extra jolt left this (the
hat) right in the middle of a flock of geese, who
were hissing their disapprobation of our ap
pearance. Caesar, yon -must slop now—my
hat is gorte. But we were descending the
hill, the foot of which was our destination, and
stopping would have been no easy matter,
even if Caesar had been willing.
Once at the bottom, we pulled up to repair
damages. Our hatless Iriend started up the
hill with the speed of desperation. I helped
the ladies ont, and a queer looking set they
were. One’s curls were down, another’s hair
streaming down her back-—jammed bonnets,
and misplaced shoes were the order of the day.
VYe laughed heartily at one another’s appear
ance and mishaps ; and when our friend re
turned with his hat, which was not much the
worse for the geese, we all replaced ourselves,

Be punctual with your Agreements.
Be particular in fulfilling your agrementsat
the appointed time. If you promise to be at a
place, let nothing but death prevent you.
Never keep a friend waiting a single moment
after ihe time has e'apsed at which you agreed
to see him. If you have obligated yourself to
perform particular things, remember you cau
never honorably be released from that obliga
tion. Should it pul you to much, inconveni
ence, remember your plighted word, and nev
er break it “Tlie heaviest fetter that ever
weighed down the limbs of a captive, is the
web of a gossamer, compared with the pledge
ofa man of honor. The wall of stone, the
bar of iron may be broken, hut the, plighted
word never.” Remember this, sentiment ; en
grave it on your heart, and resolve that your
word shall not be broken. . ; • ;
lYbo is a Coward ? .. u'
The man who uttacks another-by surprise,
or with a weapon in his hand when the other
has none, is a coward. . ' ^
The man who carries deadly weapons about
him iu his intercourse‘'with unarmed society,
is a coward.
The man who associates others with him
and so goes with numbers to overpower an in
dividual, or a smaller or feebler number,—he
is a coward. .
The man who being challenged to a duel
is so much afraid of public sentiment that he
dares not refuse it, is a coward.
Iu general that man is a coward who
shapes his course by his fears, and he alone is
a man oi real courage, who always dares to do
right.—rN. Y. Jour. Com.
some loneliness, drew its curtains round, but
no signs of the return ofthe infatuated—the
fallen father and husband. Tediously wore
tlie hours of night away. Often did the moth
er and daughter instinctively cling to each
other as some casual noise induced the beliel
that the object of their solicitude had indeed
comp, but how did they dread to encounter
the frowns—mayhap the inebriated curses, of
him, who was the cause ot their vigils! At
length the hour of midnight sounded, and as
its echoes died away, the footsteps of the ex
pected one were heard. How wildly did Ihe
heart of mother and daughter beat as P. en
tered the door so long and eagerly watched !
He was there, before them, but not noisy—
not harsh—for he was sober, calm, and collec
ted. So great was the joy of the wife and
daughter, that neither could give utterance to
the wild emotions that played around their
hearts, but tliey would lmve not spoken then,
for worlds, lest the echo ofa voice should have
dispelled what seemed a pleasing illusion.
“ Mabel! Isabel !” were the first words that
greeted their ears and iu a moment both were
crying for joy on his bosom. Mie need not
detail the affecting conversation which fol
lowed, nor the joyful surprise with which the
mother and daughter heard his resolves and
hopes. It will all be sufficiently understood
from a single expression of Powell P. as his
daughter was about to retire to rest. They
were the sweetest words her ears had heard
for many a long, long day. They^ were
“ good night, ruy child, and may God ever
bless you—you have saved your father.’
The father had been to the election—he
went predetermined to drink—to get drunk
but as he was about to raise the first dram
to h.s mouth, the pleading of his daughter
seemed to rise before him. -..Jlis good genius
prevailed—the glass was replaced untasted on
the counter—he left tlie place and with a high
nior.tl purpose hastened to enrol himself
among the advocates of temperance. The
pledge has been religiously kept—the visage
of his mild and amiable wife is fust losing its
care worn expression—“ Bell” lias become
the joyous, hoping being she was designed to
be, while Powell P. is fast regaining all his
former vigor and nohlettess. Often do these
contented beings talk over past scenes, while
the amiable “ Mabel” fails not to designate the
night of which we have spoken as that of
“ The joyous surprise.’
Powerful Butter.
“ Not a bad lunch, that,” said a hungry
fellow at one of onr hotels yesterday, “ but the

that butter was manufactured must have been

Plea of au Iowa Counsellor.
Gentleman of the Jury:—It is with fee^
lings of no ordinary commotion, that 1 rise to
defend my injured client from the attacks
which have been made upon his heretofore
unapproachable character. 1 feel, gentleman,
that though a good deal smarter than any-of
yon are, or even the Judge here, yet that i am
totally uucompetent to present this ere case in
that magnanimous and heart rendering light
which its importance demands. And 1 trust,
gentlemen, that whatever I tnny lack in pre
senting the subject, will be immediately made
up by yonr own good sense and discernment,
f you have any.
The counsel for the prosecution, gentlemen,
will undoubtedly endeavor to heave dust iu
your eyes. He will tell you that his client is
a man of function—.that be is a man who
would scorn to fiotch an action against anoth
er, merely to gratify bis personal corporosity
—bin let me retreat of you, gentlemen, to be
ware how you rely upon any spacious reason
ing like this. I myself apprehended that this
ere suit has been willfully and malitiouslv
focht—focht gentlemen for tlie sole and only
purpose of browbeating my unhappy client
here, and in an eminent manner grinding the
face ofthe poor:—and, gentlemen I appre
hend: that if yon could look into that matt’s
heart, and read the motives that have propel
led him to fotch this snit, such a picter of roor-
ahturpentine and heartfelt ingratitude would

The following pretty description is by
Grace Harkawav, in “ London Assurance.”
“The man that misses sunrise Joses the
sweetest part of his existence. 1 love to watch
tbe first tear tnat glistens ; .n the opening eye
of morning—tbe silent song that flowers
breathe—the thilling choir of the woodland
minstrels—to watch ihemodcslbrook as it trick
les applause—these swelling out the sweetest
chords of sweet creation’s matins, seem to pour
some soft and merry tale into the daylight’s
ear, us if tlie world had dreamed a happy
tiring, and now smiled o’er the telling of it!”

One of the Tuscarora Indians passing
through Canada, a short time since, was asked
by a tavern-keeper where he was from?—
“ Tuscarora, sir,” said the man of the woods.
“Then,” said the Canadian, “ you are a Yan

Indian”, “Did you know,” said the Cana
dian, “ that there’s going to be a war, and that
we shall be over and take the States, and
make them a province?” “Do you think
so?” “Yes, certainly.” “Then, sir, 1 think
yon was never a great ways from home.”—
