RETURN OF THE PARENTS.
BY MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY.
Long had they sped
O’er distant hill and valley—noting much
God’s goodness in the riches of the land,
The summer fruitage, and the harvest hoard,
The reaper wrestling with the bearded wheat,
And the proud torrent's glory when it shakes
The everlasting rock, —nor yet forgets
To sprinkle greenness on the lowliest flower
That trembles at its base. Much, too, they
spake
Os pleasures ’neath the hospitable roofs
Os severed kindred—how the loving heart
From such communion learns to wipe away
The dust of household care, which sometimes
hang
In clouds o’er the clear spirit.
But anon
The eloquent lip grew silent, —for they drew
Near that blest spot, which throws all other
lights
Into strong shadow—home.
At that full thought
The bosom's pulse beat quicker,— and the
wheels
Moved all too slow, though scarce the eager
steeds
Obeyed the rein. And as the mother
Somewhat, in murmurs, of her youngest boy,
There came a flood of beauty o’er her brow,
For holy love hath beauty, which gray Time
Could never steal.
'T is there, behind the trees,
That well-known roof, —and from the open
door
What a glad rush ! The son, who fain would
take
His mother in his arms, as if her foot
Were all too good for earth, —and at his side
The beautiful daughter, with her raven hair
So smoothly folded o’er the classic brow, —
The infant crowing in its nurse’s arms, —
The bold boy, in his gladness, springing up
Even to his father's shoulder, —lisping tongues,
And little dancing feet, and outstretched hands
Grasping the parent’s skirts, —it was a group
That artist’s pencil never yet hath sketched
In all its plenitude.
And when I saw
The brightness of the tear of joy, I felt
How poor the pomp of princes,—and what
dross
Was beaten gold, compared with that dear
wealth,
Home, and its congratulation, —and the
ties
Which heaven hath twisted round congenial
hearts
To draw them to itself.
MISCELLANY.
OUR COUNTRY.
BY JUDGE STORY.
When we recollect what it lias been,
and what it is, how is it possible not to feel
a profound sense of the responsibilities of
this Republic to all future ages! What
vast motives press upon us for lofty effort!
What brilliant prospects invite our enthu
siasm! What solemn warnings at once de
mand our vigilance and moderate our con
fidence!
The old world had already revealed to
us, in its unsealed books, the beginning
and the end of all of its marvellous strug
gles in the cause of liberty. Greece! love
ly Greece! the land of scholars and the
nurse of arms, where sister republics, in
fair procession, cliaunted the praise of
liberty and the good—where is she? Her
arts are no more. The last sad relics of
her temples are but the barracks of a ruth
less soldiery; the fragments of her columns
and palaces are in the dust, yet beautiful
in ruin! She fell not when the mighty
were upon her. Her sons were united at
Thernopylae and Marathon, and the tide
of her triumph rolled back upon the Hel
lespont. She fell not by the hands of her
own people. The man of Macedonia did
not the work of destruction. It was al
ready done by her own corruptions, ban
ishments, and dissensions.
Rome! republican Rome! whose eagles
glanced in the rising sun—where and
what is she? The eternal city yet remains
proud even in her desolation, noble in de
cline, venerable in the majesty of religion,
and calm in the composure of death.—
The malaria has but travelled in the parts
won by the destroyer. More than eigh
teen centuries have mourned over the loss
of the empire. A moral disease was upon
her before Cjesar had passed the Rubicon,
and Brutus did not restore her health by
the deep probings of the Senate Chamber.
The Goths, and Vandals, and Huns, the
swarms of the North, completed only w hat \
was begun at home. Romans betrayed i
Rome. The legions were bought and sold,
but the people paid the tribute money.
And where are the Republicans of
modern times, which clustered around im
mortal Italy? Venice and Greece exist
but in name. The Alps, indeed, look
down upon the brave and peaceful Swiss,
in their native fastnesses; but the guaran
ty of their freedom is their weakness, and
not their strength. The mountains arc;
Jnot easily retained. When the invader
comes, he moves like an avalanche, carry
ing destruction in his path. The peasan
try sink before him. The country, too, is
too poor for plunder, and too rough for
valuable conquest. Nature presents her
eternal barrier on every side, to check the
wantonness of ambition—and Switzerland
remains, with her simple institutions, a
military road to climates scarcely worth a
permanent possession, and protected by
the jealousy of her neighbors.
YVe stand the latest, and, if we fail,
probably the last example of self-govern
ment by the People. We have begun it
under circumstances of the most auspi
cious nature. We are in the vigor of
youth. Our growth has never been chock
ed by the opressiou of tyranny. Our con
stitutions have never been enfeebled by the
vices or luxuries of the world.
Such as we are, we have been from the
beginning, simple, hardy, intelligent, ac
customed to self-government and self-re
spect. The Atlantic rolls between us and
a formidable foe. Within our own terri
tory, stretching through many degrees of
latitude, we have the choice of many pro
ducts, and many means of independence.
The government is mild—the press free.
Religion is free. Knowledge readies, or
may reacli every home. What fairer pros
pect of success could be presented?—
What more is necessary than for the peo
ple to preserve what they themselves have
created?
Already has the age caught the spirit
of our institutions. It has ascended the
Andes, and snuffed the breezes of oceans.
It has infused itself in the life-blood of
Europe, and warmed the sunny plains of
France, and the low lands of Holland. —
It has touched the philosophy of Ger
many and the North, and moving onward
to the South, has opened to Greece the
lesson of better days.
Can it be thrft America, under such cir
cumstances, can betray herself? That
she is to be added to the catalogue of re
publics, the inscription upon whose ruin
is, “they were, but they are not?” For
bid it, my countrymen. Forbid it, Hea
ven.
I call upon you, Fathers, by the shades
of your ancestors, by the dear ashes which
repose in this precious soil, by all you
hope to be, resist every project of disunion;
resist every attempt to fetter your con
science, or smother your public schools,
or extinguish your system of public in
structions.
I call upon you, MoTHEns, by that
which never fails in woman, the love of
your offspring, to teach them, as they climb
your knees to learn on your bosom, the
blessings of liberty. Swear them at the
altar, as with their baptismal vows, to be
true to their country and never forsake
her.
I call upon you, young men, to remem
ber whose sons you are, whose blood flows
in your veins. Life can never be too short
which brings nothing but disgrace and
oppression. Death never comes too soon,
if necessary, in defence of the liberties of
our country.
The unprecedented extent and contin
uance of the depression of the Western
waters, by which steamboat operations
have been entirely suspended, and the
trade and travel of that inland world vir
tually brought to a stand, we apprehend
will prove a most serious calamity to that
quarter of the Union. Fears are now ex
pressed that there will he no material rise
of the waters before the rivers are cover
ed with ice, and in that case their navi
gation will not be practicable until the
ensuing Spring. We trust that this may
not be the case, but even if it should not,
it will not take from the value of the hint
so judiciously thrown out in the annexed
paragraph:—[Balt. Am.
It will have been seen by the various
notices from western papers, that have ap
peared for some time in this Gazette, that
the rivers of the West and South West,
have not risen sufficiently to permit the
navigation of steamboats, and that in re
gard to some of them, even loaded keel
boats cannot float. This unfortunate,
and at so late a period of the season, unu
sual event, cannot fail to produce consid
erable derangement in the commercial
operations of the country. Millions of
dollars worth of goods will probably!
be prevented from reaching their places
of destination in time for the fall and win
ter sales; the consequence of which will
be, that the purchasers cannot he as punc
tual as usual in paying for them. In ad
dition too to this source of embarrassment,
the crops cannot reach their markets as
early in the season as they ought to do; and
indeed we learn that serious fears are en
tertained in the Ohio for the crop of pork
on account of the scarrfty of salt. The
low ness of the water in the Ohio river has
prevented the usual supply of foreign salt
from coming up from New Orleans, and
the usual supply of domestic salt from de
scending the Kanawha. If we add to
these things the deficient crops of corn
ttnd potatoes in many parts of the coun-
try, the unusual destruction of property by
! the September gales, and the obstruction
|of our commerce with Mexico, we shall
see abundant cause for prudence and eco
nomy during the ensuing year, in order
to prevent commercial ami indivdual dis
aster. —[I’hilad. Gazette.
Discovery of the remains of the Duke
of Buckingham , beheaded at Salisbury. —
A correspondent of the Salisbury (Eng.)
Journal has furnished that paper with an
interesting account of the recent discove
ry of the mutilated remains of the cele
brated Henry Strafford Duke of Bucking
ham, who was beheaded in that city in
1483. History records, that Henry Straf
ford, Duke of Buckingham, the “cousin
of Buckingham” of Shakespeare’s imtnor
tal page, having failed in his plan of in
surrection against Richard 111, took ref- :
uge in the house of his sevant Bannister,'
near Shrewsbury—that he was betrayed
into the hands of the King then at Salis
bury, and suffered death in that city, with
out form of trial, by decollation, and am
putation of the right arm. Tradition as
signs the court-yard of the Blue Bear inn
as the scene of this bloody tragedy. Dur
ing the alterations and improvements,
which are still in progress, at the Sara
cen’s Head inn, (which there can be no
doubt formed part of the premises origin
ally attached to the Blue Boar,) it became
necessary to remove the brick flooring of
one of the rooms, and dig to some depth.
In the course of the operation, about eight
inches below the surface of the soil, they
came to a human skeleton. The place
here indicated can only be a few yards,pos
sibly feet, from the very spot where Buck
ingham suffered decapitation. The re
mains so discovered were evidently those
of a human being, and the skeleton was
complete, save that it wanted the head
and right arm.
I'Yuits of a drunken frolic. A few days
since at a scrub race, Tishomingo county,
Mississippi, the sportsmen after becoming
somewhat fuddled, introduced anew
inode of trying the bottom of their steeds,
which by the way, proved as disastrous as
it was novel. They took it into their
heads to run four horses in opposite di
rections at the same time. Off they went,
in high glee; but on arriving half round
the track they were suddenly brought to
their senses—or rather their senses bro’t
out of them—when on the coming to
gether of their horses, they found them
selves sailing to the ground like a hawk
after a chicken. Two horses killed, and
two men in a condition Init little better,
was the result of their temerity. The
names of the two individuals most injured,
were Choat and Fidler the former of whom,
three days after the occurrence, had not
recovered his senses.
From this example sportsmen should
learn one lesson, at least—that is: never
to get so drunk as not to know what they
are at. —[Tusc.umbia Alabamian.
An Incident in Court. The Boston
Daily Advertiser relates the following in
cident, as having taken place in the course
of a recent trial in that city, on a policy of
insurance. The suit was against the
Ocean Insurance Company.
The defendants put on the stand, ns a
witness, one of the crew of the Francis,
who testified to such conduct on the part
of the master, at the time of the shipwreck,
as amounted, if the witness was to be be
lieved, to the grossest, as well as the most
foolish fraud. Under the searching cross
examination of Mr. Bartlett, however, the
witness did not appear remarkably prom
ising, and when he had closed his testimo
ny, Mr. Webster rose and said that the
witness had made some statements on the
cross-examination which the defendants
knew to be false. The witness had pre
sented himself to the defendants a few
days since, saying that he was one of the
crew, and they naturally wished for his
testimony; but he had made some state
ments on the stand which they felt bound
to-say were false, and which, if unexplain
ed, must entirely destroy all confidence in
his testimony. For his part he did not be
lieve a word the witness said, and should
throw his evidence out of the case.
Mr. Loring thanked the learned counsel
for the honorable course he had taken.—,
It relieved the plaintiff's counsel from the;
painful necessity of rebutting such evi
dence, and the gentleman might be assur
ed, that his high minded course would be ;
fully reciprocated during the trial. Judge
Story also expressed his gratification.—
The course of the counsel for the defen
dants was equally honorable to themselves
and to the office that employed them.— J
The witness was then ordered to step a
side. During the preceding remarks his
countenance might be said to exhibit the
different colors of the rainbow. When
leaving the stand he attempted to laugh,
but it was hard work: a “sigh of extra;
strength with the chill on!”

ning a yarn among silks and satins, a man {

It is stated in the Louisville Journal of
the Ist instant that several steamboats
have been libelled in that city for non-com
pliance with the Act of Congress. We
are pleased to hear it, and we hope that
there and elsewhere the Act will be rigid
ly enforced. If there be one section of
the Union in which more than in any oth
er this stern enforcement of the’Act in
question is demanded, it is that which is
watered by the Ohio and Mississippi riv
ers; for it is especially on those waters
that the most fearful disasters have occur
red and the most reckless sacrifices of hu
man life have been witnessed. Nothing,
in our opinion, could show more conclu
sively the necessity of the Act of Congress
than the evidences which have been mani
fested of a deliberate intention on the part
of some to disregard and set at nought its
most humane provisions. A portion of the
owners and officers of steamboats in that
section of the Union, it would appear, are
just beginning to learn and realise a truth
which should ever have been present to
their minds, that as public carriers of the
persons and property of their fellow-citi
zens they are responsible agents, both in
a moral and legal point of view’. Had
the many and terrible disasters whicli have
shocked the country never occurred, there
would of course have been no occasion
for legislation on the subject, or had there
been any, the law w ould have been a dead
letter. But public opinion and public
safety have demanded special legal protec
tion from these wholesale sacrifices of
human life and property, in a voice which
Congress could no longer resist, and al
though the Act may, not operate as a posi
tive safeguard against disaster in every
shape, we are satisfied that there is that in
its letter and spirit which, if faithfully en
forced, will render steamboat accidents,
as they are termed, matters of exceedingly
rare occurrence.
It is said the public works of internal
improvement in the State of Indiana, Illi
nois, Ohio, and Michigan, will have cost,
when finished, about fifty millions of dol
lars. In Indiana alone six thousand per
sons are employed on the Rail-roads and
Canals. The Western States are making
rapid advances, probably, unparalled in
the history of the settlement of new coun
tries. The increase in those sections in
wealth may be learnt from the fact, that
in 1798 the estimate of property within
the union west of the Alleghany, as a ba
sis of direct taxes, amounted to twenty six
millions. It now, in the same section, a
mouuts to twelve hundred millions. This
rapid advance has not been without its ef
fects on the older states. Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia,
are turning their attention to the subject
of public improvmeats and endeavoring to
give anew impulse to the enterprise of
their citizens. Rail-roads, canals, &fc.
are in process of construction, and every
effort is put forth to make* the most out
of the resources which nature has bestow
ed upon them. If the signs of the times
do not deceive us, the future will exhibit
to the world a phenomenon in the progress
of national wealth and power, which will
surpass even the prodigies which the
American union*hns exhibited. We hope
Maine, so richly endowed by nature and
capable of placing herself by the side of
the foremost States in the Union, will not
lag behind, but will avail herself of her
natural advantages to the uttermost.

“Federalism.”—ln Judge Gaston's
" great speech, in the Convention called to
amend the Constitution of North Carolina,
we find the following anecdote, which is
a humorous commentary upon the efforts
now’ making Dy the Locofocos to brand
the Whigs as “Federalists”:
“A friend of his, who had been Jfpr ma
ny years in the Legislature, but who had
emigrated to the West, had occasion to
pass thro’ the country which he had rep
resented, on an election day some time af
ter quitting public life. Stopping at a
public house, he met with come old ac
quaintances, well meaning but uninformed
mqp, who soon entered into conversation
on the subject of the business of the day.
‘Of course,’ ‘said the traveller, addressing
himself to one of them, ‘you all go for
Major A. here: you used to support him,
tootlf and nail, in old times; ‘Why, no,
sir,* answered the good man, 'we are not
so mighty much for him as we used to be.’
‘And how happens that 1 What has oc
casioned such a change?’ ‘Why! haven't
you heard, sir? Why, they say he’s turned
a Featheral!’ ‘Turned a Featheral,' ex
claimed the gentleman,—is it possible!-
and pray what is a FeatheralV ‘I don’t
exactly know sir, (rejoined the man,) but

A Singular Duel. The Richmond
Whig in announcing the death of Col. F.
B. I’ovall of Powhatan county, Va., ftir
uishes a very interesting account of a duel
that was fought some years since between
that gentleman and Col. W. S. Archer
of the same State. The terms were pis
tols at 10 paces. The first fire was inef
fectual and Col. Archer proposed, in or
der to make quicker work of it, that both
parties should have the privilege of advanc
ing at the next fire within wnat distance
and time they pleased. Col. Povali agreed.
The word was given and the latter fired
without leaving his place, hitting Col.
Archer’s hat, and through it the eomb
with which his hair was fastened. Arch
er advanced until his pistol touched bis
antagonist’s breast, exclaiming “Sir your
life is in my hands—make acknowledg
ment or I’ll blow you through in In in
stant.” “I’ll make no acknowledgement,”
answered the undaunted Povali, and ex
posing his bare bosom to the instruaient
of death, taunted Col. Archer to fire, in
terms that indicated his unyielding firm
ness of soul. "I will not kill so brave a
man,” was the reply of the latter as he
fired in the air. Col. Povali apologised,
now that the means of intimidation were
removed; they both shed tears, shook
hands and proved the sincerity of the re*
concilation by continuing ever after the
best friends.
A Beautiful Idea. Mr. Stephens, in
