A Father's Welcome to his Widowed Daughter.
Come to thy home, thy childhood's home,
My pilgrim, lone Slid broken-hearted !
llore let thy lootetepn cense to room,
Grief hath been on then since we ported.
Bring in, bring in, thy liglitdiaired hoys,
Bring in thy youngest hlue-eyi d hlossotn;
Hark! ’tis thy mother's gentle voice,
Calling the tremblers to hbr bosom.
Now rest thee, love, check now the tears
Down thy pale cheek encli other chasing:
For well 1 know that brighter dot s
Thy busy thoughts arc fast retracing.
Geina spaikled onco on thy fair brow,
Thy sunny lucks with enre were braided,
Thou wert a happy bride, but now
Thy matron brow i« thinly shaded. N
Thou thinkost on thnt manly form
Ti nt stood that mum in love beside thee,
Tin ' ice that vowed through every storm
Oi future life to shield and guide thee.
The voice is hushed, that form ia cold,
’ rts this prolongs thy hitter weeping,
To think that one of beauteous mould,
iu the dark gruve is silent sleeping.
Yet cheer thee, love, look on thy boys,
Blight not their bloom with early sorrow,
O, let them lieur thy mother’s voice.
G.cet them with words of hope to morrow .
Tell them that Ho who kindly hears
The ravens from their rocky dwelling,
Will guide and guard their orphan veers,
And soothe thy heart with anguish swelling.
Then cheer then in thy childhood’s home,
My pilgrim, lone and broken-hearted!
Here let thy footsteps cease to roam,
Grief hath been on then since we parted.
^ EARTH’S WANDERINGS.
“And the Dove found no rest for tho solo of her foot."
Child of pleasure! always roving
Through the flowery fields of sin;
Still this truth forever proving.
There’s a canker worm within j
Let thy fund delusion cease,
Tu
i thee to the Aik of l\
Man of cores! thus daily heaping
Sordid treasures, glittering dust,
Sowing on, yet never reaping,
Ever fearing blight and rust;
Turn from Mammon’s tossing sea,
To liie Ark ofi'euco for thee.
Thou the phantom fame pursuing.
Toiling up Ambition's height,
Pause, the semblance thou art wooing,
Leads through danger,crime and night.
From the wave of human strife,
Turn thee, ere the storm is rile.
Pilgrim! worn with grief, and weary,
.Mourning for the loved ones gone !
Is thy pathway sad and dreary I
Turu thee where the Ark rides on ;
All thy wanderings now arc o’er,
Child of Sorrow, weep no more.

os. 1 did not long remain in this stale of anxiety; for
calling one evening to see the Lundlord, just after
supper, I found the room vucuted by all except the
proprietor uud this young man. They were omus-
ing themselves at u game of Domino. The for
mer very com teouslv performed the ceremonies of
mi introduction, uud thus removed the fashionuhlu
rt siiainl that is placed upon strangers. A very
few passing and common place remarks placed us
on the most liberal terms of friendship. After
transacting the business with which l was entrust
ed. and being about to depart, Mr. Noel (ibis I
bud leuriied was the young man’s name) said, •* If
you are going to walk up street. 1 will accompany
you if yoj have no objection.'* " Sir,” replied i,
•* 1 shull lie gratified to have your company.” Dur.
ing tiiis short walk, I learned that ho was engaged
in the same occupation l was. lie said he Imd for
some time been noticing my reserved and linos,
teiitatious habits, and that, lor reaetftis which pru
dence forbade him to explain, he Imd become uux-

ovi-rture was no more unexpected than it was gru.
tifyiug.—i Imd long been deprived of the enjoy
ment of much real satisfaction, by having no con
fidant with whom 1 could exchange opinions freely;
for that which is calculated to ulford the most ex.
ailed pleasure, loses its interest iu a great measure,
unless we can divulge it to some person, frankly
und confidentially. Before we parted, we agreed
to accompany ouch other to church in the country
on die next Sabbath. From this time, an intimute
friendship, embracing an unlimited degree of con.
fideucu, existed between us. Many were the eve
nings we spent together in the most social uud de
lightful manner. In a word, whenever a leisure
hour occurred, we were sure to spend it with each
other. Tlie laconic diulogue at the commence,
ment of this tale took place between Mr. Noel
uud myself. Such was the relation of friendship
that existed between us when we attended the wed.
ding party.
in uboul fifteen minutes alter our arrival, the
bride and groom uppeured outlie Hour, accompa

J ®ot venturing out of the counting room. But man

I kngih concluded to go to church occasionally. (To
Hoto church for recreation or amusement is
I ‘hateful admission; but it is the fact.) In do

Bometimes,during my leisure hours, I strolled
Ik n tu the Village Hotel, as a neutral observer,
| Mhc purpose of amusement, and also for im.
I Movement. During those vi>its 1 noticed a young
IlNt.eainn of a bland and open countenance and
scenes were ended. Then succeeded a free nnd
liberal intercourse between the sexes in general,
und merry conversation, amusing and appropriate
anecdotes, laughter, &o., as well as some private
chit-chatting. Mr. N. was a general favorite
among the ladies, lli-s attention he extended alter,
nutely towards every one, und ull received it in the
most cordiul manner. No other person seemed to
half as much plcusuro as did he. Wherever
lie went his presence kepi up the merry laugh
‘throughout the evening. And from every appear

tire stranger lo vexations und depressing cures.
About II o’clock the puny adjourned. Mr.
Noul invited me to accompany him to his room,
und 1 cheerfully complied. After quufliinga glass
or two of Madeira und taking a cigar we sat down
tolmvu a social chut before retiring to rest.
After reviewing the most amusing scenes that
occurred at the wedding, “Well, George,” said

ness in which 1 was engaged, I was often thrown in
the presence oi a young lady named Permeiin
G—* whose in*;.net's were of the most friendly nnd
ugreeubie order, and who possessed a considerable
portion of beauty. A very social and interesting
acquaintance ensued, which resulted in a long und
uninterrupted course friendship, sustaining on both
sides undoubted confidence. Fora length of time,
1 never cherished an idea of giving any indulgence
to the passion of love ; and l suppose she did not.
But our friendship ami intimacy continued, until '.lie
company of no other person afforded an equal sa
tisfaction. I now found tiial her engaging und fas-
are fur from me, in the midst of strangers. I once
believed, thut if there was a man in the world iu
whom I could confide, and whose qualifications
were in every respect calculated to render me Imp.

tails me to say more.

Mr. Noel continued, in these words : "I readi
ed home on Friday uigiit. My ardent feelings
compelled me ou the succeeding Sabbath lo visit
Miss P. On thut morning l was ull impatience—
ull anxiety. So taking a hurried gait, l soon came
iu view of the residence of my "ludye-love.” Just
at tlmt moment I was seized with u queer unusual
trepidation,and un iudcscrilmblo feeling of difli-
dence, vacancy or something, that almost compelled
me to turn buck.—1 slopped—deliberated u mo.
ment—my courage prevailed—and 1 went on. On
entering die bouse, I felt that the red liquid that
had just been retreating from my cheeks, now re
lumed with a healed velocity that seemed as if it
wus wishing to burst forth from its place of confine
ment. My tongue clave to the roof of my moutli
—and in this embarrassing uud hum.Mating siiun-
iion,our first meeting, after a year’s uhsence, took
place. I sal down in confusion, with my eyes
turned towards the lirc-pluce, saying nothing for
some time. *Miss P. was the first lo introduce a
conversation ; and ufter some time my embarrass
ment gradually vanished, and the duy was spent in
free, lively and sociul conversation, embracing ail
the incidents that bad occurred with cither party
during our long absence, that were worthy of no
tice. Allusion w as often made to the many do-
Sightful hours we had enjoyed in each other’s pres
ence, in days past and gone.
"Some weeks afterwards, on a Sabbath, that
wus one of those beautilully clear and pleasant au
tumnal days that seldom fall to the lot of man to en
joy, 1 attended church us 1 was wont to do. So did
Miss P. Amidst a numerous und attentive crowd
thut turned out on that occasion, including ull the
rivals in the country for beauty und elegance, none,
in my estimation, bore any comparison with tho
fair and accomplished Miss P.
"On leaving church 1 rode with Miss P. as far as
our roads lay together. She ut times uppeared to
be unusually dull and indiUcrent, nud conversation
often flagged. I however, remained iu tho most
ciuatiug manners hud made impressions of u chu

faithfully apprised ; and l always received from
her tho most indubitable assurances of her recipro* i
attachment. Our associations here received an
iutcrrruplion, by my Father’s sending me to Ten
nessee to attend to the collection of some debts.
Our lust interview was conducted with much solem
nity. Although we mutually pledged our most sa.
cred honors thut wo would remain single until we
shuulJ meet again, yet knowing the brittle thread
ou which life is suspended, nnd tho uncertainty of
all human calculations, wo were filled with the
deepest meluuciiol). The usual mementos of
parting lovers were exciiunged, and n mutual nnd
fervent agreement entered into that we would cor.
respond hy letter during my sojourn in a land of
strangers.
Shortly after my arrival iu Teancssec, I wrote
hasty note to Miss P., informing her that I bad
a safe, though lonesome journey , but in every
company
"Just before our arrival at the road’s fork that
would separate us fur that evening, interrupting a
long pause, Miss 1*. said in a tremulous voice, evin

most depressing state of melancholy, bordering on
stupefaction, hovered over me for sovcrul days.

Thus ended the conversation of that night, and

—From an extract published
in the Albany Argus, nnd derived from the Narra
tive of Mr. Wilson, a missionary in Africa, wo learn
thnt he has discovered a nation of Ethiopians never
before seen or described by any while man. Mr.
Wilson is stationed on the Gaboon River, which
empties into the Atlantic, about twenty miles north
of the Equator.
The mission is at the mouth of the river, but hav
ing a fine opportunity, Mr. Wilson accompanied
Toko, a distinguished negro merchant, up the Ga
boon nnd its tributary the Big Orombo, to Kobnn-
gai’s town, fifty miles from the oconn, on the Bnwke
n branch of the Big Orombo. This was ns far up
the river ns he ascended. While there, he met with
a new nation of Africans, "some of whom were said
to come live days journey und others ton or twelve
days journey from the interior”—that is from 200
to 400 miles from the sea coast. He culls them the
Pangtce people, because they came from lho direc
tion iu which a country of tlmt name lies. The
distance from the coust indicates thut they enrne
from Ethiopia ; nnd possibly that this people may
spread over that vast unknown region of Africa.
Ti.e existence und use of iron of their own manu
facture, seems very rcnmrkuble, nnd philosophers
would sny indicates nu advanced state of civiliza.
lion, for it is known that a barbarous or savage peo
ple never have iron of their own manufacture until
it has been first introduced by the whites. The non.
existence of slavery and the slave trade among them
shows a feature still more distinctive from the or
dinary African.
Wo uro furnished by the Argus with the follow
ing passage from the journal of Mr. Wilson.
"During our short sojourn in this place, wo met
wiiit u number of men entirely different in their fea
tures and general appearance front those in litis
part of the country, somo of whom were said to
nave come five, and others ten or twelve days jour
ney from tiio interior. They were known by the
name of the Pungwc people. They were on a vis.
it lo this part of ine country, which is as near to the
sea coast us'lhey have ventured. Hearing of us
at thi9 place, they came iu considerable numbers to
sec a white man und old Toko, one of whom was
much an object ofcuriositv us the other.
Those of them whom wo saw, both men nnd wo-
men, were vastly .superior iu their personal appear-
unce to the maritime tribes ; and if they may be re-
garded as n fair spec'imm of their people, 1 should
huve no hesitation in pronouncing them the finest
Africans whom 1 have ever met with. They wore
no clothing, except u piece of cloth made of the in
ner bark of a tree. This is drawn between the
legs und fastened around the loins hy n chord. Nor
do they covet cloth. On tho other hand they jeer
tile bushmeu of this region, hy telling them thut they
wear cloth to conceal their personal defects, and
their external diseases. Both men uud women braid
their hair with a great deal of taste. The women
braid ihe hair ou the forepart of the head in two
ows, which lie over tho forehead not unlike the
t rill of u cap. That on the back part is pluited in
to five or six braids which reach below the shoul
ders.
"The men are of medium statue, remarkably well
formed healthy in their uppeurancc, and manly in
their deportment. They hud knives, spears, trnve
ling bags and other articles of curious und ingenious
workmanship, specimens of which we procured for
a very small quantity of beads. All of their imple
ineuts are mode of iron of their own, which is con-
side red vastly superior to any brought to the coun-
try by trading vessels.—They set no value upon
cloth, and ns yet have never acquired u taste fo
tobacco or rum. Beads, powder, and bruss they
prize very highly, nnd were willing to give away
any thing they had for the smallest quantiles of ci

into the interior, and possibly spread itself over u
large portion of the south side of the Mountains of

Interesting Incident.—A Carrier Pigeon
lighted ut the house of the Hon. \Vm. M. Burrell
iu Canaun, on Monday afternoon, giving signs of
hunger and fatigue. And as Judge B. never sends
travellers emp y dway, he brought oul some wheat
to his winged visitor, whicli it very greedily ate
from his hand. While the pigeon was eating, its
legs were noticed to be wrapt with paper ; and on
removing tho bandages they were found to con-
tnin Mr. Webster's Speech delivered on Saturduy
ut the Bunker Hill celebration written on two sheets

ending the speech while the bird was satisfying

Important Discovery in the Art of Painting
—Mr. M. Laniberg, u well informed and accomp
lished German painter of this city, bus at last suc
ceeded in composing a paint identical with that
found on the ruins of Poinpei. After the expira-
ion of ISOOyeurs, the colored porticos of that city
are still fresh as when first decorated by tho Latin
irtist. It lias long been an object of solicitude
throughout Europe to discover the composition of
tiiis rare paint. Deputations huve been sent, com
posed of chemists and painters, having unlimited
means. Books have been written, nnd much dis
cushion had, but the secret was hitherto beyond dis-
overy. Last winter tho compound of Mr. Lam-
berg was tested in this city by the engineer, nnd
pecimens are now in preparation for the Grand
Duke of Saxony. Mr. Lamberg is now prepared
to paint houses in Louisville in a mannor as dura-
ble, he thinks, as those of the ancient Romans.
The Love of Money.—There is nothing which
brings more misery than nn inordinate love of
•iucy, for when once it obtains u firm hold on our
inds, it destroys all the nobler and belter feelings.
— Who that is continually studying how to take
advantage of his neighbor’s necessities or is look-
ing about to seek some advantage of his brother
n, is a good man? It cannot be, for benevolence
reverence nnd all the rr.orral faculties are slumber-
while acquisitiveness, cautiousness, lltuse evil
and hurtful passions, are wide awuke and prompt
on to ull that is base. Let a benevolent man, q
man who has in bis heart the wurm and open spring
of sympathy for ull bis fellows, converse with a
miserly niggard; ono who though rich is continual-
ly making himself miserable, because he is afraid
he may come to poverty, and what a feeling it will
give him. lie pities the poor crealuro thus lost to
all that elevates and raises human character, for
he feeis that he has perverted the purpose for which
he wus brought into being. And so he has ; for al
though acquisitiveness was properly given to us, so
thut we might not fail to provide for the wants of
ourselves and those depeudent upon ns, yet the very
fact that wc possess other and belter faculties, or
traits of character, is sufficient to tench us that it | dress them for yen
is our duty to use them, uud not sacrifice ourselves
to the cultivation of one ulotic.
The man who only loves money is not only
miserable himself, but he is an evil in soyoty, in
many respects. When anything is proposed for
Divorces, Courtship, Marriage, Ill-Assorted
Matches.
Applications for divorces seem to be very fre*
quent of late, in certain parts of this country.
Matrimony ta»a most sacred contract, it should
not be entered into without due deliberation, and
the knot once tied, and sanctified as well by the
laws of God os of man, the husband should not Im
permitted to put away his wife, or tho wilb her
husband, for any but the most important consider®*
tions. Nothing, as it seems to us is moro calcu
lated to unhinge society, to corrupt the heart, and
to weaken the obligations between parent and child,
limn discontent and discord in wedded life, nud ns a
consequence, efforts at disunion and divorce. Per
haps a great error moy be attributed in tho first
place to busty marriages, uud in the second, to an
indisposition after mimiago in the parties to amend
their faults of temper, and to overlook imperfec
tions of character in each other. How many ill-
assorted matches arc there in the world ! How ma.
ny couples enter into a contract for life, who know
little or nothing of each other’s character, mind or
infirmities. How many,-moreover, arc there, who
imperfect themselves cannot overlook or forgive,
the imperfections of others ! What rashness, what
impropriety, what wrong, characterize the system,
of courtship, as too generally carried on in thLcouq.
try ! How frequently do wo discover that matches
made in a moment of haste, and influenced altogeth
er by mercenary motives, terminate in tho most
frightful family chaos. Young people aro too apt to
look at the world through a false medium. Yourg
females especially are taught in many cases ter
believe that nn early marriage is the great aim of
woman’s ambition. A lover is a darling object of
their dreams, long before they have passed thoir
teens. Mere lads ute sometimes permitted to utf-
without the ability in the first
place to decide as to the naturo of their own feel-
ings, as to the trials and vicissitudes of the world,
or ns to their prospect for discharging the duties-
which devolve on the head of a family. Parents
are often to blame in these cases. They permit
the good of society, and which is not of immediate their daughters to associate with those whom they
benefit to himself, how quickly will he frown upon
it, and find fault with it in some respect. He
thinks every thing wrong which will interfere with
Ilia purse. No matter how benevolent the plan, or
how much good is proposed to be done, il it draws
upon bis purse, it is detectable in bis ryes, and
censes to have any attraction.
To lev.) money deceives men in regard to their
characters. They may suppose their actions are
correct uud Itouoruble, when iu fact they aro not
pahle of judging of themselves, because money
blinds them. I have seen men who thought they
were acting a noble part, when in ^ ucl community
looked upon them as mean, stingy and contempti
ble. There is nothing that will shut the eyes to
all <T i)0 J like the love of money. Its glittering charm
•ouses within the % br*o»l such selfish feelings, as
will make man u demon.—The cries of poverty
may strike the ear but they ore unheeded. The
claims of parental love may call, but aflection is
past. The dearest friends on earth aro oiten
sacrificed. Tho holiest ties severed, and the place
of happiness occupied by misery.
Now this should nut be ; for it is n moral curso
which desolates society, and saps the very founda

community, it would be le:t as one of importance.
It has long been thought that money was the high-
est and first object to be sought-that for ns ncquisi.

with faculties. But we find that tins is not the
case, and thut this errroneous notion has caused tho
worst consequences. It hus alienated from proper
objects the best and kindest feelings. It keeps
down the noble part of mun, and makes him vile,
crally and suspicious. It destroys all loligion, for
who that worships money can worship God ? May

Hydrophobia.—A Southern physician, in a com.
municulion on the treatment of this most terrific of
de-eascs, published in tho New.Orleans Tropic, ob
serves—
"All that is absolutely necessary to be known on
the subject is comprised in the following very lew
words, viz : that there is no earthly remedy as yet
discovered for the cure of the disease when coin,
pletely developed. The vciicgur cure that 1 have
lately seen published. I consider as extremely pro-
blemnticul, yet I would try it in case of necessity.
But there is u most certain preventive cure, and one
within the reach of every person, i. e. to examine
the under part of the tongue daily, for a considera.
ble length of time, and if little watery lump?, blis
ters, or pustules appear, to open them uud discharge
the matter: continuing this operation os long as
as fresh ones appear. This is all that is necessary
to prevent the disease from taking place.”
lie then proceeds to sny thnt any person receiv
ing ihe virus, will evince it, sooner or later, nnd al-
ways before any symptoms of madness occur, by
litJe pustules rising on the under part of the tongue
generally in six to nine days, but something later.

We would not have mammon to cater too largely
into considerations connected with matrimony.
Far better for a female to be blessed with a husband
who, kind and untiring in his attentions to her, is
temperate, intelligent, prudent and uci.'vc—who
never feels happier than when at home, or in iha a .
pursuit of his proper avocation,—far better, wu suy,
for a woman to choose such a companion, than one

; ruble portrait of a husband in her story of Neigh
bours. “Thank God !” says Iter heroine, when
alluding to her husband, who with a rough exterior,
I is described us possessing u superior intellect and
| a noble nature—"Thank God, that Lars Anders is
j no gloomy secret. His soul is clear and undis
guised as God’s daylight and this constitutes tho
blessedness of united life and peace of home.”—
1 Again, 011 the other hand, contrasting u lawful and
hi law ful object of aflection, she says :
"lie treuts Iter liar&lily, but she beats all with
slavi&li servility. Ilow deep must a woman have-
sunk before she can suffer herself to bo so treated
and, like a hound, creep fawning to the foot which
kicks it away ! Ilow unlike to this spirit of u slave
is the free, unassuming mind, with which un honour

her pure devotion !”
Wo will only add, in the langungc of a true

noth parties to weigh duly their mutual unfitness

Cure for Hydrophobia.—We published yester

Whitewash that will not rub off.—Mix half
a pail of lime and water ready to put on the wall
then take a gill of wheat flour, mix up well in
very little cold water, then pour boiling water over
it till it thickens. Pour it into the whitewash while
h t, and stir the whole together-
of themselves, uml if not opened and discharged the
mutter will be reabsorbed, and it is this ruuhsorb-
tion which causes the dreadful disease. This, then
is the grand thing you have to do ; examine the
longue of tho bitten person two or three times a
day, and us soon as any pustules arc discovered,
open them, and mnke the person spit out the matter
washing the mouth aftet wards with salt and water.
This course is the same that wus reommouded
by Professor Murocliitti of Moscow, iu 1820, and it
has been proved to bo effectual. In 1832, the phy
sician, who makes this communication to the Trop
ic, wus called to visit u negro woman who Imd been
bitten by a fabid dog, and, by pursuing the treat-
ment recommended above, he was successful in
curing her. His first intimation of this mode of
cure, he snys, was derived from a publication in an
English Magazine, made forty years ago by u gen-
tieman who had recently returned from Taitury,
where mad dogs were common, and where, when
any one is bitten, this means of preventing hydro
phobia is resorted to, and always considered highly
efiicacious.
This course, for preventing hydrophobia, is so
safe and so simple thut it may be practiced by any
person. It cun do no harm, und, it any cases should
occur, Iiu would nd\ise those who are interested lo
try il.
