Bicep, sleep on, And, waking, find that tabors dene."—Chat. Lamb. We never remember seeing any notice of the dear old legend we are about to relate, save in some brief and exquisite lines by Clmrles Lamb ; and yet bow simply and quaintly it confirms our child hood's faith, when heaven seemed so much nearer lo earth than it has ever been sinco; and we verily believed that angels watched over tho good and pure in heart! Once upon a time there lived in a far o(T country place, the name of which lias long since passed in to oblivion, a young gtrl, whom we shall cal! Alice, with an aged and bedrid mother dependent upon herexertioss [or their solo support. And although »t »I1 periods they fared hardly enough, nnd some times even wanted for bonrd, Alice never suffered herself to be cast down, placing Iter whole trust in Hint who “ tempers the wind lo the shorn lamb.” And when better days came again, who so glad and thankful as that young girl ? It may he nil very pretty nnd picturesque for poets ami artists to picture to themselves calm, peaceful scenes of rural lovelines; iri the foreground they generally place some happy village iniud, sit ting in the cottage porch at the sunset hour, and singing merrily at her wheel; even as bright-eyed end glad.hearted damsels of our own times lake up their sewing only as a plensnnl excuse to be silent nnd alone,that they may indulge in sweet and gen- tie muting.. But let us uot forget that which is pusiime ,0 the few, may be to the many a weary nud never-ending toil ! engrossing tho day that aeemsio long, and yetis not half long enough for *11 they have to do; breaking into the quiol hours •et apart by nature fur rest, and mingling even with tneir troubled dreams Thus it was often times '•uh our poor heroine! And yet she sang, loo, itt generally hymns, for such sprang mo.t roadily | *°her lip,,and seemed most in liarmrny with her onely i lM( j toileome life—while her aged mother j Wu uld lie for hour, listening lo what seemed lo her * J » gusli of sweet nnd powerful music,and notques. toning bin i|, e son g s 0 f p le g„od upon earth might p" lcuri * a nd echoed by ihe angels in heaven I , °°£ “i' 11 ;' I it was sad to see thoo toil so hard— I in beautiful to mark that filial devotion and untir- I fig love—thy thankfulness to Imvo the woik lo do, I® orwi.ohuth must Imve started long since ! thy I mil in Providence, that for her sake it would give I w ee,, | lrei, ® t ^' ^ ur laborious tasks—the hope that IqHi k°'- °^* )<i,ler times—tho faith that grew I > ie brighter nnd purer through fruils—llio store Ini 8 ' Vecl u "^ pious thought* that brought thoo such ■ I .want comfort, and gave wings lo many a weary I hour of earthly toil. b B ’ r yours Alice Imd contrived to lay by enough to plunge it. unhappy victims into their pre.eut fal- Ten Condiiion ; nnd yet oven he tvus touch- c y tier .tears, and meek deprecating word, and consented to give her one week’, gtace. In which she reckoned to have finished and got paid for the work shu then had in the house. Although the girl knew, that in order to effect this, site must work dny and night, stio dared ask for no longer delay, und tvus even grateful lo him for gruulingher request. *’ll will he a lesson lo her not to be behindhand in future, thought her stern companion, when he found himself nione ; "no doubt ihe girl has been idling ol Into, or spending her money on that pala colored hood she tvoro, (allhough, soolh to say, nothing could have been moro becoming to her del'i cate complexion.) instead of having it ready as use- nl,” And yet, sleeping or waking, her grateful thanks haunted him strangely, almost winning him to gentle thoughts—we suy almost, fordeep.rooted prejudices such as his, were hard—verv hard lo overcome. Alice returnod home with a light heart. "Well T” said the widow, anxiously* “All right, mother ; with God’s blessing we will keep the dear old cottage in which you tell me you were bom.” "And hope thdie—’’ “Not yet, dear mother,!” exclaimed the girl, passionately. “What would become of your poor A lice, if she wore to loose you ?” •‘And yet I am but a burden on your young life—” "No, no—a blessing rather !” Alice was right ; labor and toil only ask us object —something to lovt, and care, and work for, to make it endurable, and even sweet! And then kissing her mother, hut saying not a word of all she had to do, the girl took off the well preserved hood and cloak which had given rise to such unjust animadversions, and putting them carefully aside, sat down in a hopeful spirit to her wheel. The dark cloud which had hung over her in tho morning seemed already breaking, and she could even fan cy the blue sky again in the distance. All the dny sho only moved from her work topre. pare their simple meals, or wait upon the helpless hut not selfish invalid, who, but for the eyes of watchful love over bent upon her, would have stri ven painfully to perform many a little duty for her self, rather than tax those willing hands.a!ways so ready to labor in her behalf. And when night came, fearing to cuuse that dear mother needless anxiety. Alice lay down quietly by her side, watch ing uutil she bad fallen asleep ; and then riding noiselessly, returned to her endless tasks. And yet, somehow, the harder she worked, the more it seemed to grow beneath her weary fingers: the real truth of the matter was, she hud overrated her own powers, and was unaware of the much longer time it would take for the completion of the labor that she had allowed herself. But it wa9 too late lo think of all this now, the trial must be made, and Heaven, site doubted not, would give her strength lo go thro’with it. C* 1 ! happy—thrice happy ! are they who have deserved to possess the pure and childlike faith, shedding its gentle light on the darkest scenes of life. Morning broke at length over the distant hills ; and Alico Binging open the casement, fell refreshed by the cool breeze, and gladdened by the hymning of the birds already up and at their orisons; or ex changed a kind good morrow with tho peasants go ing forth to their early labor. No wonder that those rough untutored men, gazing upward on her pale calm fuce, and listening to her gentle tones, felt t sort of suporstitious rcveroncc in their hearts, as though tliere were a blessing in that kindly greeting which bo led of good. The widow noticed, with that quick-sight eduess of affection which even tho very blind seem gifted within the presence of those they love, that her child looked, if possible, a thought paler than usual; and nil the bright smiles that met hers every time Alico, feeling concious nf her guze, looked up from her work, marked how weary the heavy eyelids drooped over the aching eyes, und yet she never dreamed of the deception which had been practiced in love, to soothe and allay her fond anxiety; and the girl was well content that it should be so. It so happened, that about noon, as she sat spin ning in the cottage porch, the new landlord pass ed that way on horse back, and was struck with her sad and wearied looks—for of lute she had indeed toiled far beyond her strength, and this additional fatigue was almost too much for her. But still that stern man said within himself,"It is ever thus witli the pour, they work hard when actually obliged to do so, and it 19 u just punishment for their Improv. idence and idleness ul other times. And yet,” he added, a moment after, as he turned his horsc’i head, half lingeringly, “she is very young, too.” Alice looked up at tho sound of retreating foot steps, but too late for lier tocatch that half relenting glance, or it might have encourngod hor to ask an extension of tho time allotted her—aye, even if it were hut one single day ! but he hud passed on ore the timid girl could bunish from mind tho fearful remembrance of his former harshness. Another weary day and sleepless night glided on thus, und the third evening found her still other spinning, with the same smile on her lips, nnd hopi and trust in her brea9t. “I* there nothing llmt I can do to help you, my Alice ?" usked her mother, who grieved to seo her obliged to toil so hatd. "Nothing—unless indeed, you will tell mo some tale of old times,us you used to years ago, when I m as n child.” “Why you are hut a child now,” said the widow with a "mournful smile; und inwardly comparing her lot with that of other girls of the same ago she relapsed into a train of sad and silent musing* and Alice knowed that they were sud by the quivoring lip and contracted brow. “Gome mother dear I” said she, "I am waiting to hear your story.” And then the widow began to relate some sim pie reminiscences of by gone times, possessing 1 strange interest for that lonely girl, who knows so little of life, snve in these homely nnd transient re venlings , fell asleep in the midst through wenri f°r sho ever grew weuk and exhausted ns night 3 on: but presently nwolto again half bewil- riad star* looking down in their c*lih wnd silent beauty upon earth. Hosv natural prayer cornea at such times as these. Alice clasped her faded hands involuntarily, and, although no words were uttered Iter heart prayed ! We have called her in our love, pure innocent ; but she of her holier wisdom knew that aha waa hut a weak and erring croaturo after all, and look courage only from re- membering that there is One who carelh even for the very flowers of tho field, and how much more for the children of earth. But gradually ns she sat thus in the pale starlight, Ihe while lids drooped over the heavy eyes—her hands unclasped nnd sunk slowly and listlessly down ; the weary nnd toil-worn frame had found rest at last I And then the room seemed filled on a sudden with a strange brightness, and where poor Alice sn! erst while at hor wheel, is an angel with shin, ing hair, and raiment while and radiunl os a sun beam ; while another bends gently over the slum, borer, aud looking first at her, and then at her com panion, smiles pityingly ; and the girl smiles too, in her sleep ; and as if still haunted by her favorite hymn tunes, sings again very faintly and sweetly until tlie sounds die lingering away at length upon the still night air. Fast and noiselessly ply these holy ones at their love task, while the whizzing of the busy wheel, accompanied by a gentle rushing sound, as of wings, alone disturbed the profound silence of that little chamber. And now morning broke again over the earth; and,their mission performed, they have sped away to their bright home rejoicingly! Alice awoke trembling from her long and re freshing slumber, thinking how she must work doubly hard to redeem those lost hours. She drew her wheel towards her—she looked wildly at it rubbing her ejos to be sure that she was not still dreaming ; aDd then gazed around the quiet apart, ment, where all remained just as she had left it; but the task—the heavy task for which she had marked out four more weary days and nights of toil, and feared even then not having lime enough to compluto it lay ready finished before her I But af ter n little lime the girl ceasing to wonder, or re membering to whom she Imd prayed on the previ ous night guided by an unerring instinct, knelt down and poured out hor full heart in a gush of prayerful thanksgiving to heaven! And we can almost fancy the angels standing a little way off, smiling upon ench nnd on her, even as they had done be fore, and rejoicing in their own work. We aro told in the legend, that from that hour the widow und Iter good and pious child never know want again. It may ho that Alice’s employ, er was pleased with her diligence and punctuality ; or tho stern landlord shamed out of his prejudices by tho unlooked-for appearance of the glowing and happy fuce of his youthful tenant, three days before the appointed time, with tho money ready, and many grateful thanks besides for wlmt she termed his kindness in wailing so long for it; or there was a charm in that web, woven by holy hands, which brought Alice many more such tasks, with better payment, nnd longer time to complete them in. The only thing that makes us sad in this simple and beautiful legend is, that the age of such like miracles should have passed away. And yet, fear not, ye poor and suffering children of toil ! on. ly be gentle and pure-hearted as that young girl— trust as she trusted pray as she prayed—and be sure that Heaven in its own good time will daliver vou !

The will of tho Bishop was law, and the noble hosts assigned the fair incognita a wing of his house, and settled a pension of twelve thousand francs on her. Sho was introduced into society, and soon became noted (or her piety, clinri- ty, and love of retirement. Time passed on—the Bishop died, and was soon followed by the noble man, whose will directed that the Countess should continue to occupy tho pavilion, aud receive the pension—while no attempt was lo he made to un ravel her sacred secret. She gradually mixed in society, gained all hearts, and at tho time of her death was unsu’passed as match-maker, keeper of secrets and devotee. Well, tho pnpers were not entirely consumed, the physician found enough to a'Vaken his suspicions, and on the shoulders of his late patient he discovered indelible proofs llmt this model of virtue and fashion, an invitation to whose saloon had been the passport to the first society in F rauce, was no other than Jeanne do Suz, alias the Countess de la Motle, the authoress of the disgrace ful Nccklaso Story, in the days of Marie Antoin- eto. She was publicly whipped, branded on both shoulders, and sentenced lo the Salpelrie for life— from whence sho unaccountably escaped, and her a» p ter life has been unknown until tho above dcvel- o cement.

ALICE GRIFFITHS. Piclon. Canada West, ) June 24, 1844. S A Curiosity in Shawls.—The Liverpool cor respondent of the Boston Atlas states that a curios- tl cri-oRt fxilr. .t ‘1 , 1 0 ity 111 shawls has just been manufactured at a well- ii te great touts, particularly those who have boast. , in-i u .1 ci oftheir intimacy with Madame La Con.es.e '“T" «»*'ft "here the J eanne.—Paris Correspondent of Boston Allas, m08 ‘ “"'i'y 8 ! ,n * 1 * worn b y lhe ""»>il.ty are ness canto on dered. “Wltero was I, Alice ? asked the invalid gent |y. "Asleep dear! mother I was in hopes, replie her companion with a smile. "0 ! forgive me. I could not help it. But you will not sit up very long I" .. "Good night, and God bloss you my child I saiu tho widow ; nnd a low minutes afterwards Alice was uguin the only wakeful thing in that litllo cot- luge, if indeed she could be called so with Imlfclos ed’eyes and wandering thoughts, although it is true the busy fingers toileJ mi mechanleahv ul their insk. The very clock licked will, a dull drowsy sound, and tho perpetu il whizzing of hor wheel seemed almost like a lullaby. Presently the girl began losing m » h>w voice. to keep herself awake, hymns as usual- inw. plaintive and soothing; while the widow heard ilium in her sleep, aud dreamed ot.leaven.— Rot nil would not do, and she arose at length nnd tvalked noiselessly np nnd down the room, trying to shake off tho drowsy feeling ’.list oppressed and weighed upon nor so heavily. And lh.«*Mln|t L casement, sat by U lo catch the emil brealh of fight upon her fevered brow, and walcli«d the my RuvEnge.—"Fatiimi forgive them."’—Go. proud infidel—search the ponderous|tombs of heath, cn learning—examine llio precepts of Seneca and the writings of Socrates— collect all the excellen ces of llio ancient nnd modern moralists, and point to n sentence equal to this simple prayer of our Sa viour. Reviled nnd insulted—suffering the gros- sesl indignities—crowned with thorns and led owny to die, no anliilating curse breaks from his tortured breast. Sweet nnd placid as the aspirations of a mother for her nursling, ascends tho prayer for mercy on his enemies—“Father forgive them.*’— Oh ! it was worthy of its origin, and stamps with tho brightest seal of tiulli that his mission was from Heaven. Acquaintances have you quarrelled ?—Friends have you differed ? If he, who was pure and per fect forgive his bitterest enemies, do you well to cherish your anger? Brothers—tn you the precept is imperative ?— You shall forgive—not seven limes, hut seventy times seven. Husbands and wives you have no right to cxpoct perfection in each other. To err is the lot of hu- manity. Illness will sometimes render you pelu. lant, und disappointment ruffle the smoothest tem per. Guard, I beseech you, with unremitting vigi- lence, your passions—uncontrolled, they are con suming fires. Let your lifo ,he one of respectful attentions, and conciliatory conduct. Cultivate with care the kind and gentle affections of tho heart—plant not hut eradicate the thorns that grow in your partner’s path; above all, let nofeelingof revenge ever find harbor in your brensl-let the sun never go down on your anger. A kind word—an obliging action—though it he a matter of trifling concern, has a power superior to the liarpe of Da vid in calming the billows of >he soul. Rovenge is incompatible with happiness as it is hostile to rausoii and religion. Let him wiiose heart is black with mal.ee und studious of revenge, walk through the fields while clud in verdure and adorned with (lowers; to Ilia eye there is no beauty, the flowers to him exhule no fragrance. Dark as his soul, nature is robed, in the deepest sable.— The sinile of beauty lights not his bosom with joy— hut the furies of hell rugo in his breast, and render him n9 miserable as lie could wish llio object of his hate. But let him lay his hand upon his heart and say, •revenge I cast thee from me: Further forgive me us I forgive mine enemies ;’ and nnture wilt assume a new & delightful garniture. Then, indeed, are llio meads verdant and the flowers frngrant —then is the music of the groves delightful lo the ear, and tho smiles of virtuous beauty lovely lo the soul. Corn Brf.ad.—A correspondent of the Western Cultivator., writing over the signature o("Cousin Polly,” gives the following recoipo for milking ••good corn bread :” “Well, 1 was going to tell your female readers how I make good corn bread, ns I think, when well made, it is the best bread eaten, and the health- just, and the most generally liked. Besides, cous in (excuso me for this familiarity, for I wrote it down before I thought, and ulthough this relationship does in fact exist, yet we never had the pi :asure of a personal acquaintance,)you know, some seasons, that when tho wheat crops fail, wo poorfolks aro obliged to use a great deal of this article. "Well, to tlie subject.—Tuko as much corn meal as you wish to cook,scald it well, by pouring boiling water over it and stirring it thoroughly; then mix it to the consistency of batter, with milk—if it is preliy ricli il won’t hurt it; but mind tlie mixing part, thut it is thoroughly done, the more the better, ‘Put in one egg, a leaspoonful of salesralus, and a table- spoonful or more oflard.

It is now to be linked as usual, about three quarters of an hour, and you wlllhava ilit finest oorn bread you ever ate,” New Yokk, Boston and Philadelphia Belles. A writer in tlie last number of Blackwood is q'jito complimentary to our New York girls, but a dministers at the same time a caustic rebuke to th e occasionally overdone fashion of their prome nade attire. Hear him, fair ladies :—-’’The man w I10 lias the good fortune lo see our New York b tiles in their morning or home attire, must Imve a h sari made of quuriz or granite if lie resists their at .tractions. I'lieir graceful forms, their intellec tu nl and somewhat languishing expression of co'Untenance, their bright and beaming eyes, llieir sit nider figures which make one inclined to seize an cl hold them lest tlie wind should blow them away, th- sir bcnulilully delicalu hands and feet compose a sum of attraction perfectly irresistible. The B jston ladies are perhaps better informed, and their features nro usually more regular; hut they have something Yunkeeish about them which 1 could never fancy, and, moreover, they wear dread ful blue-stockings. The fair Philadelphians are rounder, more elastic, more Hcbo-like, and unnp. pronchablc in the article small-talk; but il is amongst the beauties of New York that romance writers should seek for their Julias aud Alices. 1 am certain that if Cooper Imd made their acquaint ance whilst writing hi* books, lie would imvo torn up his manuscripts, and painted his heroines after a less wooden fashion.

"Upon wlmt authority, do you swear to the animal’s ago ?” “Tho best authority,” respond, ed tlie witness,gruffly. “Then why such evasion ?

I will have it,” vocifornted the counsellor, interrupting the witness. “Why, then, ifyou must and will Imve it,” rejoined tlie hos tler, with impcrturublc gravity, "why, then I Imd it myself, from tlie mare’s own mouth.” A simulla- neous burst of laughter rai g through tho court.— The Judge on the bench could with difficully con fine his risiblu muscles to judicial decorum. Kugland.—A Prize Essay by Mr. Laing, pub lished! in Chambers’ Edinburg Journal, contains these statements in relation to England : Tne united annual incomes of tho people are es timated at £290.000,000 to £310,000,000, litiie mure than two years of which would pay ofTthe whole national debt. In the course of about six yeuru.1700 miles of railway Imve been completed nt a cost of £54,000,000. Tlie length of naviga ble canals in Knglund exceeds 2200 miles. The number of inhabited houses in G. Britain is 503,011, being nearly double the number, in 1831. Tne value of British produce and manufactures annu- ally exportod Ims risen, in the course of the lust fifteen years, from about £35.U00,000 to upwards £50,000,000. In 1834 tliere were consumed 35,. made. In 1842, when there was groat and gener al distress in the principal manufacturing districts, and when the people of Paisley suffered greatly from the stagnation in the trade of tho town, her Majesty, Queen Victoria, purchased several Pais, ley shawls uf a high cost, to pntroniso domestic manufactures; in consequence if which tlie nobili ty soon followed the Queen’s example; and this single act gave great relief to the operatives. The great curiosity referred lo in the shawl trade is a scarf-shawl,so constructed that futir colors will fold into twenty different effects ; either color etui bo worn alone, any two together, three, or four, ac. cording to the caprice of the wearer. Mr. Kerr, ol Puisley, is tlie enterprising manufacturer who lias accomplished the weaving in one piece of this extraordinary shawl, which is pronounced to be a scientific production of far greater merit than any tiling of the kind llmt Ims appeared in tlie French exposition of manufactures. A Strange Gal.—’Every tiling is arranged for your wedding with Susan Tompkins,’ said a father to his only son tlie other day ; ’I liopo you will behave yourself like a man, Thomas.’ The individual thus addressed was a young man, seated in chair, despatching a piece of bread cov- erod with molusses. His only answer was a sigh, accompanied with a flood of tears. Tho parent started, and in an angry voice demanded, ‘Wlmt objection can you have ? Susan is handsome and wealthy, and marred you must bo, some time or other. Your mother nnd I were married, and it is my command that you prepare for your nup. tills.’ ‘Yes,’ finally sobbed Thomas, ‘that’s a different case ; you married mother, but I’m sent out to MARRY A STRANGE GAL !’ To Preserve Green Corn.—For those who are fond of green corn, and desire to have it fresh ot all seasons, we give tho following reoeipe from the Franklin Banner. The present opportunity should be improved ;"Pack tlie corn down in cleun, light casks, with a pickle sufficiently strong to pro- servo cucumbers. It should be put down in tlie husk*, and kept secluded from the air by the brine, so ns to prevent fermentation or decomposition.”— Com so prepared, it is snid, will keep for any length of time, and will he sufficiently fresh for tlie table when it is boiled. Cement for Jars and Bottles,—According to the quantity of cement required, take one-third beeswax and two-tliirds rosin. Pound the rosin very fine, and then put it wit it the beeswax into any sauce-pan or skillet suited tn the purpose, and set it over the fire to melt. When it becomes quite li quid, take it off the tire, and stir in some fine brick dust, till tlie mixture becomes us thick us mcliod scaling wax. Then plaster il warm round tho covers of your preservo or pickle jars. Ifyou use it for bottles, first cork them tightly, and then dip their lops into tlie cement. It will dry in a few minutes. This cement is very strong and very cheap, and particularly useful for articles thut are to he carried to sea. Picking Cabbages.—Quarter tlie firm head of the cabbage ; put the parts in n keg, sprinkle on them n good quantity of suit, and let them remain five or six duys. To a gallon of vinegar put an ounce of mace, and one ot pepper corns and cin namon. Cloves and allspice may be added, hut they darken tlie colour of the cabbage. Hent tlie vinegur scalding hot, add a little alum, nnd turn it wliilo hot on tho cabbage, the salt roinniniiig.

The Methodists.—From the minutes of tlie An nual Conferences of llio Methodist Episcopal Church for the year 1843-44, (says llio N. Y. Post) il appears thut '.lm net increase of members during the year, wa9 102 831. This, added lo the increase of tlie previous year, namely, 151,024, makes tlie unprecedented increase of 257,455 in llio short period of two years, and the whole number nf members of tlie Methodist Episcopal Church, 1,171,380. The number of the travelling preach ers, or regular clergy, is 4,282; of the su cranua- ted, or worn out travelling preachers, 339; nnd that of tlie locul or lay preachers, 8,087. Toiui num ber uf prcuchcrs, 12,700. in oilier words, tlie number of Methodist Preachers in the United Stules and Texas, exceeds that of the standing army of tho United States, It is a fact worthy of notice, that out of the whole number of travelling preach- ors, it was found necossury during the last year to expel only Uvojfrom the connexion. The number of withdrawals was thirty-one.** Plums.—It is said that to prevent the plum from being punctured by tlie curculio, the plums which fall from tho tree should he removed daily. The trees under which the ground is *weptcarefu:ly ev ery day, are said not to be infested. Worth Knowino.—A mixture oflard and wood soot, in equal quantities, is slutud by tlie ediior of iltu Cincinnali Advertiser, to be "the mot! sover eign tiling in tlie world’’ for "burns nnd scoids."| plates, nnd put them into the oven after tlie bread is done ; in 48 hours they will ho perfectly dried. Put litem into paper hugs, and keep them in a dry place. When wanted for usu dip them in cold wutcr and luy them on a dish to swell, and in a mince or stew they are almost equal to the fresh fruit.—If you wish to make tomutoo sauce add a little wa ter to cook them in. They are very good to eat out of tlie hand in the dry state. To Clean Silks.—Quarter of a pound of soft soap, u leaspoonful of brandy, a pint of gin, ull well mix<’d (o bother. With nsponggor flannel, spread tlie mixture on eacli side of tlie silk without creasing ii ; wasli it in two or three wuters, and iron il on the wrong side ; il will look ns good us new. For Making Jelly.—Tliosu who would mnko fine jelly, should always avoid boiling tlie juice of die fruil, when it is desireuble to Imve tho article, when muds, retain tlie flavor of tlie fruit from which it was prepared. After llio juice is pressed from llio fruit, and tho proper quantity of sngur added lo it, let it he limited until I lie sugar is dissolved ; af ter this is effected, no further hent is required. A gem.—We love lo seo a woman treading tlie high nnd holy path of duty, uuhlimiud by the sun shine, unscarrod by tlie storm. Tliere are Iniud. reds wlm do 90 from tho cradle to tlie grave—hero, ism of endurance, of whom tlte world lias never lieurd, hut whose names will he bright hereafter even beside the brightness of angels. TiitrY Anecdoti.—A Loco-loco fltrmer came to WNhe1ing r Aiarktt bet long ago' with Chette to sell* tin made a bargain with i Shoetnaker and took ahoet for hia cnaem. 'After the trade, he began to grumble about the Protective Tariff.— Said he; ’Now with your rascally Whig protection, you haze pocketed just the amount ofthe protec- tion, and taken it from me without giving me an equivalent.’ The shoemakai replied that lie thought he was mistaken. No, aaid the farmer, there is no mistake about it; the consumer always pays aa much more for the article as the protection amounts 10, and you may preach yoar Whig non sense till you are gray, you can’t make me believe it. Well, eaid the shoemaker, I will make yon a fair proposition, and ifyourdbetrine is true, it cer tainly is fair. I will.deduct the protection from the shoes and you shall dcduet the protection, from tho cheese, and so we will make a fair exchange,— Agreed, said the Loco. Upon examination the protection on shoes was about 60 per cent, and and that on cheese 9 cents per pound. The poor Loco give it up and hacked out, for he found his cheese was worth only 6 cents per lb. in that mar ket, and that after-deducting tho protection, he would not only have-togive away his cheese, but 3 cents for every pound besides.- He went home, hoisted an Ash pole,- and-now-goes for Clay and Protection. His namo can be given if required. N. Y. Express. Exposing ono of those impositions upon tha ig. norant which tho so caiibd,’ Democracy” is contin- ually employing, the Cincinnati Chronic/* says of one of llm busiest and boldest-demagagues of that Stale . “Mr. John Brough stated in hm speech.at the Mar ket houce that lie and his party aro contending, like our gallant tars in the last war, for'free trade-andsailor's rights.’ “All! Mr. Brough, that was a fatal ship. Our tars fought 011 the American side, but you are fighting tor British • free trade’ and British ‘rights.’ “The American tars fought for American goode-in American bottoms. You are fighting that British gnodn- niaycorne in British bottoms. Quite a difference ! In that war every man was for American manufactures, Amer ican ships, and American tars. You are for having our ’workshops in Europe,’ and for knocking down our manufacturers, whom you cnll’monopol.sta,’ just a* the Federalists did before war. Look into Mr. Jefferson's letters to Liepor Austin, and you will see a picture of L-icoforo free trade drawn, to the life. Locofoooism is Federalism revived.” Singular "free trade” thar,- which set up the embargo and non intercourse-laws, Mr. Jeffer son’s famous "terrapin system,” and proposed tu make us independent of foreign nations altogether by refusing even to sell to them, and by totally pro hibiting all importation from any where, until Brit ain consented to treat us fairly ! Wlial was really the “free trade” which wc then claimed of Britiain ? Every one possessedof the smallest information knows ; and upon those possessing none how vile it is thus to impose ! Did wo clnim of Englund that she should in any sort equalize, or even lower, her internal duties upon our productions ? Certainly not; neither we tier any other nation ever set up any such- idle preten sions ns that of tolling-a people that their internal taxes on what they took of us were too high, and that we would go lo war if they did not reduee them. Wo wont to war, na every body knows, fi«r our rights of some so-rtand since (as we have snid) low duties in England' were none of our rights, hut a matter which every country is entitlo to regulate for itsolf, it is plain that this was not what we height for. If such was llio ground of the quarrel, and tin* was what our device of "free trade” meant, we not only kept it to ourselves before nnd during the war, hut when we came to make peace ; for the turifis of both counties were left, in thut peace, to the discretion of each. What, then, was the "free trade” we claimed ? Mr. Brough needs not to ho told, corluitily, hut on ly those he attempts to deceive. In the general continental war then waging between Britain and France both those Powers struggled to cut offall commerce with the other; in doing this they cor- tinually violated the rights of neutrals. As, in this sea contest, England was the stronger, she, more particularly, committed many wtongsjtgainsl thut "free trade” which, as neutrals, we had a right in pursue. Sho stopped our ships; she saarohed them ; sho broke up our trado by nil sorts of vtzn. lions. To put an end to these we declared war, and not on account of dulls ; for these we paid every whero and wilingly.—Nation Intelligent ccr. Mr Clay's Neiuiibors.—What a blush ofshamu ought now to muutle the cheeks ofthe vile trudu* curs of Mr Clay ! With all tlie influence which th»< baseness of his enemies could bring to hear nguinsl him Ins old neighbors have given the Whigs a ma jority of 720, being a gain over the vote of 1640 of 111. Where now are Gen. McCullu and uid Boh Wiekliffe? Fayette lias spoka in a voice - which cannot he misunderstood her verdict of condemna tion against these hitter revilers ofthe pure und hon est Statesman of tlie West, if they are not wliolov incorrigible, as wo suspect they are, they w ill hide themselves in some private retreat and not again appear before their out raged fellow citizens at least until tlte Presidential election.—Maysville Eagle. The Pobtland Express hne renounced its neu. traliiy in politics, and come out for Clay aud Fre- lingliuysen. Tlie editor says :— ••We go for Our Country, for onr whole Country, and nothing but our Country ! We go for Protec tion—protectien to our Farmers,—to our Mechan ics—to our Merchants—lo our Sailors—to our Manufacturers—and to ourselves•! ■ In a word, we go against tho annexation of Tex- -against a charge of commercial and munufac. luring policy—against John Tyler—against Polk and Dallas—(we forget their Christian nnmes)— and/or Henry Clay and Theodore Frelingiiuy- SEN. Successor of the Prophet.—John Hardy, Pres ident of tlie Boston branch of the Mormons, in re. furcucc to a successor of Joo Smith, informs the editor of the Times thut all tho speculations on this point tire “fudge and nonsence,”and sayi; "Samu il 11. Smith the oldest momber of the family now. iving, and a brother to tlie murdered Prophet, will take the office of his brother Hiram, as Puirinrch lie church, according to the ancient custom of God’s people.” It is said, however, thut mes- sengurs liuve been sent from Nanvoo lb the return of the twelve Mormon apostles, who will choose a successor to Joe Smith on llieir arrivul ul tlie holy city. Ourang Outanq.—A female ourang oulang, about three years old, says the Salem Register, ar rived ut this port on Friday last,in llio brig North umberland, from Africa. She is very docile and intelligent, and attracts much attention. As lo her accomplishments, site is something of a painter, for n few days ugo site possessed heiself of a paint pot and brush, and mounting the rigging, pro ceeded lo display her arlisticai powers on cau. vass, leaving a specimen of her skill, which is still visible, on one of the sails. She can also draw well, us is evident from tlie crowds who flock lo see her. Site can smoke u cigar with all the grace of a Spanish lady, and tender it, from her own mouth 10 any gentleman standing near, ns politely as though versed in all tlie accomplishments of the French school. Site is also something of a house wife, cud u disciple oti tlie mnnuel labor school, for she cue help herself to-cofloo nnd draw water from a pump, us readily a* any of the biped race with out tails. In short, we date not relate alt iier won derful qualities, lest they he deemed incredible. A M r. Bank lately married a Miss Gold, in Ohio. We doubt if ihe Ohio Legislature will be able lo put down that Bunk or prevent it issuing small bills. do l ing as that Bank holds on to its Gold its cred it will remain good,
