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. UISCELLA^Y. [From the N. Y. Quartey Review.] 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. [Boston Post. 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. (TERMS *3 IN iOTAICI. NUMBBRtf. 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.
