TO THE ‘CHARTER-OAK,’ NKAR HARTFORD,
CONNECTICUT.
BY MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY.
Charter-Oak! charter Oak!
Tell us thy tale,
Os the years that have fled
Lives the leaves on the gale;
For thou bear'sta brave annal
On brown root, and stem,
And thy heart was a casket
For Liberty’s gem.
Speak out in thy wisdom,
Oracular tree!
And we and our children
Will listen to thee!
For the love of the aged
Is dear in our eyes,
And thy leaves and thine acorns,
As relics we’ll prize.
I see them—they come,
The lost ages of old,
The sires of a nation,
True-hearted and bold;
The axe of the woodman
Rings sharp through the glade,
And the tired Indian hunter
Reclines in thy shade.
I see them—they come,
The gray fathers are there,
Who won from the forest
This heritage fair;
With their high trust in heaven,
As they suffer’d, or toiled,
Both the storm and the tyrant,
Unbleaching they toiled.
Charter-oak! charter oak!
Ancient and fair,
Thou did’st guard of our freedom,
The rudiment rare;
So a garland of green
Be thy gift from the skies,
With the love of the brave,
And the thanks of the wise.

ADMINISTRATION OF WASHING
TON.
A generation has passed away since
Washington closed his political life, —and
when we now review all the acts of his
administration, the measures which he a
dopted, the principles which he avowed,
and the resolutions upon which he acted,
to make tho patronage and offices subser
vient to the interests of the whole country,
and not to surrender them to the base and
grovelling, and corrupting influences of
party; when we review these things, we
cannot but confess ourselves struck with
a reverential awe of his trancendant purity
and greatness. He gave no office whatso
ever, except to merit and for merit—to
private virtue, and for the public good.—
He considered the patronage of the gov
ernment as a sacred trust, created for the
good of the whole people and to be em
ployed for the whole. It never entered
his head to conceive, that the time could
ever possibly arrive in this free land, in
which the patronage of the government
should be employed to bring down the peo
ple to the footstool of their rulers, or to or
ganize a hand of office-holders to manage
elections, or to intimidate, or corrupt, or
influence electors. In the presence of
Washington, the men who should have giv
en utterance to the suggestion of such a
system, would have shrunk into absolute
nothingness by a withering look, which
would have branded him as the foulest of
traitors to his country
There was a pure atmosphere then in
the regions of the halls and official resi
dence of the government. Men breathed
freely then, and thought and acted as free
men, who held their liberties in their own
hands, and not at the mercy of rulers, and
the first attempt to trample upon them j
would have taught the usurpers the lesson
—“who would be free, themselves must
strike the blow.” Let the young men of
the present day read the history of the ad-'
ministration of Washington, so forcibly
and truly written out in the pages of Mar
shall. It will purify them from a thousand
' vague generalities. It will recall them to
\ the great principles on which the govern
j ment was orginally framed. It will teach
i them the utter worthlessness of all mere
political theories, and invaluable authority
of experience. It will teach no re
public can be well or wisely governed,
except by men of high intellect, compre
hensive knowledge, incorruptible integri
ty, and disinterested patriotism. It will
teach them that a demagogue is the worst
enemy of the people, and his kindred char
acter, courtier, is the worst enemy of the
monarch. It will teach that the truest
course oLambition is not to be found in
i its favors and its honors, but upon the
solemn judgments of the wise and good,
upon the distant praises whose voice speaks
from ihe hearts of millions, and give back
from the tomb the deep echoes of its own
thankfulness
[From the Michigan Journal of Education.]
THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR LAND.
To the young men of this nation is soon
to descend the all important trust of guid
ing the destiny of our country; and it be
comes them with all solemnity to prepare
for the responsibility. The death, a few
years ago, of the last signer of the decla
ration of our independence, told us that
one generation had passed away; and the
present incumbent of the presidential
chair is the first of another that has been
called to that important trust.
Soon it must devolve, with all its cares,
upon yet another. How important, then,
that each rising generation should be early
taught, and should early apply themselves
to a knowledge of the nature, the uses, and
the ends of all government, that through
them, ours may be transmitted unimpaired
to after generations. The departed spirits
of these who once filled the measures of
their country’s glory are looking down to
behold, and the few venerable men who
yet live to tell the story of the birth of
American Independence, are intensely
watching to discover, whether you, their
children, will prove yourselves worthy the
inheritance they leave behind.
Cultivate, then, the patriotic spirit, the
devotion, the eminent piety of those great
men who have gone before you, and look
ing up to the Author of all wisdom, for
strength “to run the race that is set before
you,” adopt ever as your own the sentiment
of the great statesman, “that while the
Union lasts there are high, exciting, grati
fying prospects spread out before you for
yourselves and your children.” Then in
deed will you breathe, with your latest
breath, that other sentiment, dear to every
true American heart, “liberty and union,
now and forever, one and inseparable.”
A Novel Oyster bed. —When the
frigate Constellation was taken into the
Dry Dock, in Charlestown, on Saturday
last, her bottom was a sight to behold, be
ing entirely encrusted with a coat of oys
ters, from stem to stern, ihe average size
of which was about equal to those that arc
usually sold for half a cent. There was
scarcely a vacant space of the size of one’s
hand on the entire copper under light
water mark. The oysters were mostly
single, but we counted a number of clus
ters containing from six to eight, and some
times more. This frigate has been absent
about three years on the West India station,
when she unquestionably acquired these
unwelcome appendages. Large quanti
ties of eel grass were likewise attached to
the oysters, hanging down in spires of from
one to three feet long. The workmen
say they never saw so foul a bottom. She
is of a beautiful model, and when clean
and in good trim, must be a fast sailer. —
The wonder is how she sailed at all.

REMARKABLE INVENTION.
A journeyman clockmaker in the neigh
borhood of Havre is taking measures to
procure a patent for a discovery which
if it really leads to the results announced
by the inventor, must bring about a sudden
and complete revolution in horology. The
invention of our fellow citizen is this;
we cannot of course speak of the process
this is the property of the inventor.
M. * * has changed entirely the mechan
ism of watches, pendulums and clocks;
he has so simplified them that the pres
ent price of these machines must sub
mit to a reduction of 50 per cent, on the
present price, and then furnish a great
profit to the manufacturer. The simplify
ing process and the consequent reduc
tion of price, is not the only advantage
of this discovery. Another, still more
valuable, in the method of making a la
dy’s watch go, without being wound up
during a whole year, a gentleman’s watch
during three years, a pendulum of mid
dling size twenty years, and a public
clock for a space of two hundred and
eighty years, and following an inverse pro
gression. M. * * manufactures watches
of so small size that they can be fixed as
the seal of a ring, and will require to be
wound up but once in fifteen days. A
watch of this species will cost but 50 francs.
One worn by the Empress Maria Louisa
on the fore finger of her left hand was a
jewel, the preparation of which did not cost
less that 256,000 francs. The watches
made by M. * * can only be" wound up
by himself, or those acquainted with the
secret of his patent. They arc enclosed
in a case hermetically sealed, and have
no more thickness than a common watch.
The fear of exposing himselflo indiscreet
solicitations compels him to maintain
great secrecy as to his process. We must j
add, that according to the process of this;
inventor, the striking of bells cannot be]
connected with the clock work which he
manufactures.—[French Paper.
The way to Settle Difficulties.—
Two neighbors (who were brothers by
marriage,) had a difficulty respecting their
partition fence. Although they had mu
tually erected a substantial fence four and
one half feet in height on the line separat
ing the sheep paster of one, from the grain
field of the other, yet the lambs would
creep through the crevices and destroy
the grain.
Each asserted it to be the duty of the
other to chink the fence—after the usual
preliminaries of demands, refusals, threats,
challenges, and mutual recrimination, they
resolved to try the “glorious uncertainty
of the law”—they were however pursuad
ed by their friends to the more amicable
mode of submitting the defence to the
final determination of a very worthy and
intelligent neighbor, who was forthwith
conducted to the scene of trouble, and in
fulL view of the premises, each party in
turn, in a speech of some length, urged his
claim, asserted his rights, and set forth
the “law and the facts”—at the conclusion
of which the arbitrater very gravely re
marked: “Gentlemen, the case involves
questions of great nicety and importance,
not only to the parties in interest, but to
the community at large, and it is my de
sire to take suitable time for deliberation
and also for advisement with those who
are learned in the law and most expert in
the customs of good neighbors; in the
mean time however, I will just clap a bil
let or two of wood into the sheep holes”
and in ten minutes time with his own
hands he effectually closed every' gape.
The parties silently retired, each evi
dently heartily ashamed of his own folly
and obstinacy. The umpire has never
been called upon to pronounce final judg
ment in the case—so the law remains un
settled to this day.—[Vermont Patriot.
[From the New York Star of Friday, Feb 11.]
Fruit of Abolition. —Tom, who stole
several thousand dollars from his master
M. Darg, and ran away to the abolition
ists, was yesterday tried and convicted
of the robbery. So that instead of being
made free, he will in all probability go to
the State Prison at hard labor for seven
years. These pests to society have
got hold of another victim, a handsome
yellow girl, called Calucita, belonging to
a Santa Cruz family, here on a visit—an
elegantly dressed, well taken care of, hap
py girl, contented with her situation, and
shuddering at the idea of being separated
from her friends. If she is made free, it
will not be many months before the unfor
tunate creature, stripped of all her cloth
ing, will he found at the Five points. The
friends of liberty every where should unite
in putting down these abolitionists.
Novel Sale. — A gentleman of Buffa
lo has just sold nil his real estate there
for $130,000 payable in instalments, with
out iulerest, at the rate of one dollar an
hour. The Advertiser remarks, “accord
ing to these terms the purchaser will have
14 years, 34 days and 20 hours to pay
in, at the rate of 8,760 per annum.”
Shin Plasters.— There are undoubted'y
but few who are not well, perhaps too well
acquainted with the meaning of the term
SUinplasters. It is possible, however,
that all may not lie aware of the deriva
tion of the word—which is thus describ
ed in an article in the N. Y. Mirror:
“The term shin-plasters originated with
an old soldier of the revolutionary war,
who alter fighting the battles of his coun
try, was left to penury and want by a gov
ernment, who paid him for his services in
what was commonly called “continental
money,” which, after the peace, it refus
ed to redeem. This old soldier had re
ceived a wound upon the leg at the battle
of Bunker Hill, and believing that the
money was printed upon paper of an ad
hesive quality, and knowing it to be
good for nothing else, he was in the hab
it of dressing his wound with the rags,
and calling them “shinplasters;” hence
the name, which will always stick to them
to the end of the -world.”
Language without Oaths. —The In
dians cannot swear in their vernacular.
This is a singular and interesting fact.
Why does their language furnish no oaths?
! Are the Indians so prone to truth, so
| averse to falsehood, that the invention of
j oatjis was impossible? Probably this was
the case until they became so corrupt by
our example. Their simple promises must
have been to them as sacred and inviola
ble as the most solemn adjuration, are to
us. Never resorting to serious appeals
to Heaven or the Great Spirit for the con
firmation of their statements, profane
oaths did not follow of course.—[W. C.
Advocate.
The study of truth is perpetually join
ed with the love of virtue; for there is no
virtue which derives not its original from
truth; as, on the contrary, there is no vice
which has not its beginning in a lie. —
Truth is the foundation of all knowledge,
and the cement of all societies.

Hoaxing in Ireland. —At the Dublin
Police Office on Friday, Mr. J. Pearson,
of Great Brunswick Street, charged Mr.
Geo. Hicks, of Cork Street, with an as
sault. The parties appeared to be very
respectable, and were attended by several
young men, and two most fashionably
dressed young ladies. Mr. Pearson stated
that he had got a most pressing and po
lite note from Mr. Ilicks to attend a lev
party on last Saturday evening at Mrs.
Hicks’s. He accordingly went there with
his wife and another lady. Oil arriving he
was a little surprised to find manycarriages,
cars &c. assembled about the door, all
with company in them. On entering the
house he found about 40 or 50 persons,
all of whom appeared had got similar notes
of invitation. But judged of his amaze
ment, when Mr. Hicks ran up to him,
kicked him out in the street, pushed out
his wife after him, tore her silk dress
broke her watch, and then began to lay
about him so vigorously that thinking him
mad, they all “cut”—gentlemen losing
their hats ladies their bonets, some coming
off with half skirts, and others not having
any skirts at all. Mr. Fulhain, for Mr.
Hicks, said the fact was, the young men
had been friends for a long time, but Mr.
Hicks was informed Saturday that Pear
sou had played a trick on him by send
ing cards of invitation in his (Hick's)
name to 70 or 80 people. The appoint
ed evening came, and with it 25 covered
cars full of ladies and gentlemen, all ready
dressed for a ball? Mr. Fulham offered an
apology on the part of his client, which
Pearson said he would accept, Mr. Hicks
refused saying, “I am the injured party.”
Mr. Pearson then lodged informations and
Mr. Hicks was held to bail.
Cigar Trade in Spain. —The manu
factory of Malaga employs seven hundred
persons (women and children) in making
cigars. A good pair of hands at the
work may furnish 300 a day; bat as the
children cannot make half that number
taking the average at two hundred, gives
a daily supply of 140,000. The manufac
tory at Seville employs 1000 men and
1600 women. Theae 2000 persons may
he calculated as furnishing on an average,
250 each per diem; or, altogether, 650,-
000. Add to this number the 140,600
made at Malaga, and we have 799,00(1
i*s the “total of the whole” manufactured
daily in Spain. * * * *
The persous in the manufacture of ci
gars in Spain are paid at the rate of one
real vellon for fifty, which enables a first
rate maker to earn but fifteen pence a
day. The best cigars are made entirely
of Havana tobacco, and are sold at the
factory at the rate of thirty reales vellons
a hundred, or about three farthings En
glish each.—The secoud quality, com
posed of mixed tobaccos, (that is, the in
terior of Havana leaf and the outside of
Virginia,) cost eighteen reales vellon per
hundred, or something under a halfpenny
each.—lt may be seen, from this state
ment of the cost of cigars of the royal
manufactory, that smuggling cannot but
prosper; since, at the Havana, the very
best cigars are sold for twelve dollars a
thousand, (or a trifle above a half penny
each,) whilst those of inferior quality can
be had for one fourth that price—[Capt.
Scott’s Excursions, &c.
The Editor of the Philadelphia Ledger
boasts that his single head, “ketps no
less than fifty operatives in full employ
