c*t’ which unnerve* every facility of body

to tins vortex of irremodublc rum. No age

It i* our uim, when wielding mfr focldo pen
in thu entlte of Morality, to draw all our in
ferences from Huai, i.iv n from object* which
pifaiutt, tliciusulvt* to view as pattern* of
virtue, on the one hand, worthy our venera
tion ami regard ; and on the other, to unmask
the monster vice, nnd present to view us na
ked deformity and baseness. To litis end we
look for a tu tdel which unite# the numharles*
ills, and the various crime* of deepest die. at
tendant upon un unrestrained indulgence in
the use of spirituous liquors—hut where every
example displays, in such glaring colors,
the enormity of the vice, it is difficult to dis
ci'iuiinntc.--There is, however, un instancu
fresh in i>tir rocolioeliou, which, as it affords
a solemn warning t” youth, wc shall briefly
portray, with the hope that it may haven salu
tary effect upon the minds of some who arc
not yet irretrievably b,*t to society and them
selves.
Eli a* mi Easy wa* the only son of respec
table parents : —with a genius which bid fair
for future usefulness, he possessed un educa
tion emprucing every necessary acquirement,
nnd at the age of nineteen, when every faculty
of body an I mind is ‘rapidly expanding
when the pulse, beats high with expectation,
and the wi Ule prospect ot future happiness
a id usefulness wpresented to view, ujiwtr
I'd by clouds of adversity or misfoß nc at
this interesting period, he listened t<> tin’ hi
the tindniglit revel, where the intoxicating
cup with deadly certainty poison* every gen
erous feeling, and lulls o\ cu the seorph n sting*
of conscience,—-The advice of friend# was dis
regarded—the tender expostulation* of pa- j
rents contemned. I’rotu scenes of levelling
.and riot, he proceeded to blaspheme, and the
profanation ol tlie Sahbuth! Here let us
pause—nnd shod a tear of sorrow over the
“wreck of genius.” We behold, in this
picture, a youth, who might have shone in
the pouueili of Uis country, wallow iog in the
mireof sensuality—and placed far below the
level of the brutes that perish!—l.et us not
dwell on a scene so degrading to our na
turn —but lot us taken solemn warning from j
its s ’quel.—Young men! you who are just cu-!
tcr.ng upon the stage of active life - beware j
of the intoxicatin': cup—slash it as deadly poi j
I son trout your lips. Instead of participating |

VICTORIA A\i> I’RINCK ALBRKT.
We find the following itt a private letter
i from England, wiiUeuby a gentleman who
passed some days with Lord Hroughaiu, nt
his. country residence : —“ It is said to be
; settled that the Queen is to many Prince
j Albert, of Saxe Coburg,—at least, so says
; Lord tiroughs,n, whom 1 heard telate, in
a manner altogether inimitable, a rireinn-
I stance which took place at Windsor, the
j other day, at one of the royal dinners.—The j
Queen took from her bosom a beautiful,
rose, aud in a very significant manner, pre
sented it to the Prince. Uis Highness icy.
fully received it, but as he was cased np
in regimentals,—for you must know that
hois a military man. though not quite so re-
markable none, perhaps, as Napoleon was,
—he had now here to place his* token flow
er.’ With that striking presence of mind,
however \> hieh is always manifested by roy
al personages in situations of difficulty, the
bridegroom c.lcet seiaed a kittle from the ta
ble, which he gallantly plunged into the
breast of—his coat, and placed the rose into 1
| the hole thus made, and wore it with the
i some feelings of triumph that swelled the
j bosom of a knight of old, when bearing a
I glove or scarf, the gift of his ‘latlyc love.
; Since the Hanoverian line, has occupied the
British throne, the wires of the kings it
j has furnished have Wen drawn from tier- J
• many, and now its tirst queen is to have a j
i German husband. It is a pity, a very great
pity iudecd, that out of all the men now t
living in England, there cannot be found
one tvorthv to share the roval couch."—•-

Many years ago a lady of this city was mar
ried to a Count or Huron, or !ird Somebody,
attached to the Austrian legation. The union
a# a smasher of ail affair, and kicked up a
dust among the aristocracy of the court end of
the town. The lady was happy andcontenled,
and blessed. Her husband munitioned her
splendidly, and for a while lie and hi* spouse
were all the go. By and by the legation was
recalled, and the illustrious Huron or Lord
i Kometiody, wasdischarged for neglect of duty.

! casioually she would cast a glance at lliespec
i inters who were present, particularly nta hand
: some young widower, one of our party. H e
really wish we knew more of this girl’s histo
ry. She has already caused us some sleepless
nights, and we should like lo know more
j about her.—ls we would read her thoughts
aright, she was even then draining the bitt*:,-
cup of suffering and disappointment of Ls
ry dregs. Doubtless some unhappy jpve affair
with ail it# usual train of blasu-d'hopes and,
oVushod affi etiqtis, was the cause of her thus
separating herself from the world’s people,
■ aud connecting herself with the society of the
Shakers. Indeed, wc had an intimation that
i such was the fact. She foul been woh the So
-1 eicty only a year, and yet her health was evi
! dentally failing her very fast. Alas! poor
girl. A few short months and thou wilt be
in the land of silence, and thou and thy sad
tale of unrequited love, will both be alike fur
, gotten. Tor thee there is no rest but in the
grave. Sad fate for one so young and beauti
ful. and wh sc only fault it was to love ‘not
wisely, but too well.’ Shakespeare Ins beau
tifully said—
* 7’he coarse of true love never did run smooth.’
Alas! how many, since the line was written,
i have had mournful evidence of its bitter truth!
, The young lady referred to in the above par
agraph is well known to many in this eitv.
.She is the only daughter of wealthy and res
pectable parents, who reside in one of the prin
cipal towns of Middlesex county, and received
most of her early education at due of the pri
vate female seminaries in Boston,
i About four years since sho paid a visit to
“< some ofher old classmates in this city and vi
’ eiaity, and the writer of these few lines re
| members meeting her at a social party in bis
! neighborhood. She was jasl then blooming
t into womanhood, with buoyant and joyous
spirits—intelligent far beyond her years, and
! though “beautiful, exceedingly,*’ yet withali
| *o affable and lady-like, a* ut once to will all
hearts. —To crown all, #lie wn* of a religious
1 turn of mind, and. if I ant not misinformed, !
i was thus early m life u member of Hie Vnita-
I riau Society in her native town. Altltougli
not enjoying, nt thi# time. # very robust state
i of health; yet I little thought sin* had then tin
! *eed* of b fatnl disease within her, nr that con- j
: sumption, “alow, but sure,” hail marked her
j for It# Own
Highly gifted by nature, nnd surrounded by
all that make# life desirable, I hoped und be
i lieved that -he mfoht look forward with con
"tidgnee to many happy year * in reserve for
her. Hut this bright picture wa* deceptive,
i Nev'-rnl member# of her family had. from time
i to time, follcti victim* to that dread malady, so 1
! prevalent in our New England climate, imd to
! a nice observer, acquainted with this fort, it
I uas evident she too wa# lit early life to fall n
! sacrifice to the same wasting disease. “‘Whom
: the cod* love, die voymg.”
| I bad since tbciyicard notliing of thi# iutcres- 1
! ting U iy, when early last spring, happening
to L- in the vicinity of Harvard, I wa* told, on

who, being under a previous, but to her un
known, engagement, eould not reciprocate the ,
att lehrnent, nnd that in a motneul of melan
choly desperation, sick of the world and its
vanities, she had withdraw’n from the circle
of her relatives and friends, and united herself
vvilh the society of Stinkers. The remainder

The new# from England is undoubtedly, a#
j far as the great commercial interest* of th is
! country are concerned, of a favorable charm’- 1
ter. The state of affair* with the Hank of
, England hail evidently turned in her favor,
’ and that of the foreign exchange market wa* ;
, such that tfo: tendency of pnei<! will once
I more be to flow into her coffer#. Thi* liu# been
brought about by llic relaxation of affair* on
| thu continent, — I The rate of discount in lnn-
I don was two per cent higher than the Pari# or
Hamburg. Thi* fact diverted a great many
! mercantile bills from London to those cities, <
i causing at ;he same moment a deereaw-d de j
in.in 1 fur money in laimlou, and an Increased
supply of exchange; in consent!core of which ‘
the bullion in the bank of Engimulhad increa
sed £IOO,OOO on the Uth. American hill*
drawn on Paris, against produce were also
plentyx AH these facts tended to satisfy deal
ersthatthe restrictive measures on the part of
the Hank would soon be relaxed. The arri
val of 82,000,000 per South America, increased
this feeling ; $3,500,000 also left Mexico for ,
England in company with the brig A. K. for
this port, and will soon arrive out. AM this
operates, direetly npon the market*; its first
effect is to make prices firm and then to rally.
Hy promoting consumption, a demand for the
raw produce of the U. States i* created, which
once more put# the wheels of trade in motion,
and will heareafter fo’ followed hy a moderate
demand for goods from the U. Hlate*.

Pmnnsi.pnu, Di p. ‘i—Shocking O-itrage.
On Saturday evening, up heard the following
statement, which ■ give, hoping that our in- ‘
formant, whom we know lobe incapable of
wilful misrepresentation or exoneration was
himself misinformed.
For some time |>ast, the editor of the fon
caater (Pa) Examiner, anti Masonic paper.;
lias used great freedom m Ins remarks upon
the public conduct of Mr. Cameron, one of
the superintendents of the Columbia Kmlroud ;
and last week, it is added lh.it the Examiner
contained an article which included in its vit- .
uperation Mrs. Cameron. This so much cx- j
asperated her husband, that, meeting Middle- J
ton, the editor of that paper, he seized him by
Ihc collar and shook him with severity. Two
hours after this, Mr. Cameron was passing up
the street towards the. railroad depot, with a
view of entering tiie cars. hen somebody
called to him, and. on turning round, he re
ceived in his right side the heavy bullet charge
of a gun, fired from the opposite side of the.
street, and, as it is said by Middleion. It was
added that Mr. Cameron, though much injur
ed, would probably recover.
VVc learn that the boll has been csira'te# !
from Hr Cameron. It entered on one aide m*
tbehbdyHnd passed to the other “de. .Mr.
Middleton \rl| arrested.
We learned fast night, ‘that Mr. Cameron
was dead.
Painful Occurrence. —Mr. Michael E.
Israel, Cashier of the Western Bank, of
this city, and a highly respectable citizen, j
was met by a gentleman, on Tuesday about
noon, in Third street; and discovered, to
be suffering much from some injury, lie
was conducted to the house of Dr. l’arrish,
Sen, and laid upon a sofa, when it was
found that he had received a pistol bullet in
his head. After some inquiring it was
gathered that Mr. I. had that morning ta
ken a pair of pistols and gone to Camden,
where he entered the woods and shot him
self. But the wound not proving fatal, he
had returned in a state of exhaustion of
miud and body. His remarks as to the cause
were incoherent and unsatisfactory; nor
could we learn, with accuracy, what had in
duced the act. He spoke of the remarks
of a committee,’ but we did not learn that
official wrong had been imputed to Mr. Is
rael.— V. S. Gaz.

James the First. Among the addresses
i presented upon the accession of James the
First, was one from the ancient town of
Shrewsbury, wishing his majesty might
reign as long as the sun, moon and stars
endured. “Faith, raon,” said the king to
i the person who presented it, “if I do, my
son must reign by candle-light.”

Speculation. A young man in an adjoin
i ing town was mightily smitten with the
i beauty of a lady whose father had a suit at
I law which must forever make or break him,
and “ popped the question.” Shu was ex
! pressing a desire for immediate marriage,
; when he thus interrupted her, “ l can have
i the refusal of you for 6 months, can’t 1?”
.4 Beauty. —The editor of the Boston
Times says he is so handsome that he dares
not go to Church, far fear of disturbing the
1 girls. Poor souh

: cried a puritan preacher to a young lady,
I who. had just been making her hair into
j beautefui ringlets, “Ah, Eliza, had God in
tended-vour locks to curl he would have
curled them for you.” “When I was an
, infant,“ reqiifcd the damsel, “he did : but
* now I am grown up, he thinks that I am
able to do it myself.”
