I left thee young and gav, Mary, When last the thorn was white ; 1 went upon my way, Mary, And all the world seemed bright : For though tny love had ne’er been told, Yet, yeti saw thy form Beside me, in the midnight watch, Above tne, in the storm. And many a blissful dream I bad, That brought thy gentle smile Just as it came w 1 ert last we leaned Upon the church-yard stile. I’m lirre to seek thee non , Mary, As all I love the best, To fondly tell thee now, Mary', I’ve hid thee in my breast ; I come to yield thee up my heart, With hope, and truth and joy, And crown with manhood’s honest faith 'Fite feelings of the hoy.

My me-s-mates deemed nte brave, Mary, Upon the sinking ship ; But the flowers o’er thy grave, Mary, Have power to blanch my lip ; I felt no throb of quailing fear Amid the wrecking surf, But pale and weak I tremble here, Upon tlie osieted turf; I came to meet thy happy face, And woo thy gleesomn smile, And only find thy resting place Close by the church-yard s.ile. Oh ! years may puss away, Mary, And sorrow lose its sting, For Time is kind they say, Mary, And flies with headlong wing; The v. orld may make me old and wise, And hope may have new birth, And other joys and other ties May link tne to the earth ; Bui memory, living to the last, Shall treasure up thy smile, That called me hack to find thy grave, Close to the church-vard stile- Tlie Faithful Dog. A STORY IIF A DA KING RURGLARY. Tlie Messrs. Hurhert kept a very exten sive jewelry establishment in one nt > at large cities, anti for the better security nf their store against file and other casual ties, they employed one < f theirclerks to sleep in it a night. The idea of die store’s being attacked hy robbers was not for a moment enierlaitied. hut it whs for other ohjec s, such as seenri y from site, and the like, that young Luring, tin l clerk, slept there, f-T he was not supplied with any weapons, to repel an attack of thieves But !.no dark, dreary night lie was awak ened by a singulni in ise which resembled that which a party f burglars might pro duce in an attempt to enter the building, and, looking towards the hack wind ws, he soon satisfied himself that one or more persons were endeavoring, as quietly as possible, o effect an entrance at that quar ter. They had already removed a part of the sash and shutters with their cunningly devised instruments, and must have been at work some time before he vvasavvaken ed. Now young Loving regretted that he had no weapon hut not through fear— that was not a characteristic of the young gentleman, hut that he might pepper the rogues a lilt e. At first he determined to cry out and amuse the watch, but as they had advanced so far before lie awake, he tli ugltt he would dtive ihetn off by strat agem. He slipped on his clo lies quietly, and approaching the spot where ihe thieves were busy, he saw the hand of .tie of them passed inside of the shutter into the store, in its owner’s endeavors to guide a small handsaw, with w hich he was cutting ati aperture for his body to pass through. Young Loring felt inclined to chop off the ha il wi It a small hatchet that lay hard by, hut lie refrained, and bethought himself of a powerful preparation of a caustic vitiiol and other penetrating stuff’s that were used in the testing of the purity of silver and other metals. One drop of this would eat instantly into the flesh, and produce a poisonous sore in ten minutes’ time. He cautiously dropped a little upon the burglar’s hand, and awaited the re sult. ‘ Bill,’ at length exclaimed theburglar to his comrade, ‘ I’ve got a cursed burning on the back of my hand. It’s so sore 1 can hardly work this saw. Phew! how it smai ts ! I guess I’ve cut it with the saw. Hold the dark lantern here.’ * Fudge!’ replied hiscotnpanion, ‘ change hands then, hut don’t stop.’ ‘Take the saw yourself, then! I can’t stand tliH pain !’ And while the discomfitted burglar with drew to groan over the supposed cut, the other took his place with the saw, and in a moment after received a few drops of the fiery liquid up >tt the back of his hand, and was soon groaning with agony. ‘Curse this 6aw ! it has cut me, too !’ groaned the second thief. JIACOAf, (GA.' SATURDAY M«R\I.\G, NOVEMBER 3, 1819. And after sundry oaths mutually ex changed, until the first and worst attack of pain was over, they renewed the attempt to make an entrance. '1 he clerk permitted them to go on a while uninterruptedly, knowing that at any moment he could stop their efforts by crying out. but he hoped to hear some, watchman passing the front of the store, upon whom he could call to secure the] r uges, and he resolved to wait for this untt! t would do to wait no longer. But soon the burglars had so much enlarged the hole, that they would shortly be able to enter by ii themselves. JSeeittg that he must do something to s’op them, the clerk crept in the dai k close at one sid • of the window, and uttered a "\v, hut fierce grand, in imitation of a dog. Both of the rouges stepped hack at this unexpected interru tion. ‘Hang it, Bill, there’s a cursed dog in there. I didn’t know that the Hurbeits kept one,’said one to another. ‘.\ dog] that’s had. Curse’em, if it j was a man, why a shot or a ditk stroke , would fix him ; but a dog is quite another , tiling, for, if we shot him he'd he sure to | half kill one of us !’ ‘ Bow, wow, wow !’ cried tliec’erk, with | all his power, as he saw them preparing to resume their work. ‘ Confound the dog !’ exclaimed both. ‘ Never tnitul; go ahead, Bill, and get it open, now. I’ll fix him when we get in.’ The burglar addressed as Bill, thrust his hand in once more wrench off tlie last piece of wood that obstructed their en trance, when the clerk, having already armed himself w ith a large pair of pin cers, seized the rubber's hand as though in a vice, and sat up such an outrageous harking that the whole neighborhood was alarmed. ‘ For heaven’s sake. Jark, lend us a hand here : the ett sed animal is biting my hand half off! said the burg ar to his confeder ate. ‘ Pull it away— pu’l it away quick.' * 1 can’t.’ ‘ (five it a jerk !’ said the oilier. * O o-o ! I can’t ! murder, murder!’ 1 he cry, added to the bellnwings of the supposed dog, soon brought the watch in good earnest, and the thief, who was at liberty to do so, ran for his life. The watchmen’s lights showed Bill Sikes that he had been b.l.cn by a pair <>J pirn era. This is a fact, and occurred in N. York City during the winter of 1841; and Bill Si es served out his imprisonment at Blackwell’s Island. 'I A king Tot.n. — A snow having fallen, the young folks of the village got up a grand sleighing party to a country tavern at some distance, and the interesting Wid ow Lambkin sat in the same sleigh, under the same buffalo robe with tnvself. ‘Oh, oh—don’t!’ she exclaimed, as we came to the first bridge, catching me by the arm, and turning Iter veiled face to wards me, while her little eyes twinkled through the gauze, in the moonlight. * Don't what V 1 asked ; ‘ I’m not doing any thing.’ ‘ Well, hut 1 thought you were going to ta e toll,’ replied Mrs. Lambkin. ‘ Toll?’ I rej ined ‘ What’s that ?’ •Now, do tell ?’ exclaimed the widow, her clear laugh ringing above the music of tho bells. ‘ i r. Mellows pretends that he don t kn \v what toll is !’ ‘ Indeed, 1 don’t then,’ I said, laughing in turn. ‘ Don’t know that the gentlemen, when they go a-sleighing, claim a kiss as toll when they cross a bridge! Well, I never !’ But shall 1 tell it all 1 The struggles of the widow to hold the veil were not sufficient to tear it, ami somehow, when tlie veil was removed, her face vvas turned directly towards my own, and tlie snow glistening in tfie moonlight, and the horse trotting on of himself, the toll was taken for tlie first time in the life of Dr. Mel lows. Soon we came to a long bridge, hut the widow said ii was ‘no use to tesist,’ and she paid up as soon as vve reached it. ‘ But you won't lake toll for every span, will you doctor V she asked. To which the only reply was a practical negative to tlie question. Did you ever, render, sleigh ride with a widow, and take toll at the b.idges?— The Doctor. Punctuality. —Method, as Mrs. Moor says, is the very hinge of business, and there is no business without punctuality. Punctuality is important, because it sub serves the peace and good temper of a family ; tlie want of it not only infringes on necessary duty, but sometimes excludes this duty. Punctuality is impor’ant as it gains time ; it is like packing things in a box; a good packer will get in Halt’ as much more as a bad one. The calmness of mind which il produces is another advantage of punctuality ; a disorderly man is always in a hurry : be has no time to speak with you, because he is going elsewhere ; and when he gets there he is too late for his business, or he must hurry away to another before lie can finish it. It was a wise maxim of the Duke of Newcastle—“l do one thing at a time.” Punctuality gives weight to character—“such a man has made an ap pointment ; then I know he will keep it.” And this generates punctuality in you ; for like other virtues it propagates itself. How Captain Adams did It. “ My father,” said the General, “ told Colonel Wood, one evening, that he was going over to F. the next day morning, to .collect a debt of Captain Adams, and in vited Colonel Wood to ride over with him. ‘We shall get a fine breakfast,’said the old man, 4 ami be bark by noon.” t So, th§ next morning, away went my «ier and Col. W. to collect the debt of jjtain Adams. It was a fine frosty morn ing. and after a two hunts’ ride they ar rived at the Captain's tavern. As they drove up, out came tiie Captain and right glad di<l lie seem to see my father and , Col. Wood. | ‘ Walk in, gentlemen,’ said he, —‘take a seat in No. 1. Hello, Bam ! take this horse to the stable, and rub him down well. Os course you'll have breakfast genile ' men ! Jim —kill a couple of fat pullets, and gel breakfast for two—all ready, gen tlemen, in half an hour.’ Well, when my lather and Col. W. had warmed themselves, the Col, pr< p sod to take a stroll about town, whi e my father was set ling with tlie Captain ; hut no sooner diJ father enter the bar room than tha Captain began again. ‘ Here's a nice toddy,’ said he; ‘I don’t believe you have tasted a better —try it.’ And sine enough, my father found it tlie very best pin t ddy he ever did try. Be fore he could finish smacking his lips, the Captain was at him attain, and kept up such a continual jabbering that my father couldn’t get his debt in edgewise. Presently in came the Colonel, and the hell rang for breakfast. Everything was neat as anew pin, line steak, prime chick ens, fresh eggs and rare coffee, and then such toast. ‘ Take it easy,’ said the Captain, as he bowed in and out with the fixins. ‘l’ll have the horse at tlie door in good time.’ Breakfast ended, sure enough, there was the lioree already, and all tny father and Col. Wood had to do vvas to jump in. ‘ Well,’ said the Captain, as he gave the reigns to tny father, ‘all right, I take it gentlemen—call again soon—d<>—pleas ant ride to you—good morning !’ Now, as they drove along home, said Col. V/. to my father, ‘ Did you get your debt paid V ‘ No,’ said my father. ‘ What prime toast.’ ‘ Yes,’replied the Colonel, ' but why didn’t you get your money?’ ‘ Why,’ B-aid my father, ‘ the fellow bluff ed tne square oft’ with his b own toast and gin toddy; I’ll he whipped if he gave me a chance to ask him for it.’ L'gic. —‘ The orifice of the typhantum appears to be enlaiged, and the globules of the abdominal functions are much de ferred in this patient’ remarked the quack doctor, as he held a sick mart’s arm. * Lord, doctor, where was you b in?’in quit ed the old lady. ‘ lit Germany, madam ; in Germany. Finished my education in France.’ ' 1 thought so. 1 knew so,’ replied tlie old woman, * nobody was ever born in this country that knows as much as you do!’ An 0»d Firm —Some years ago their existed a firm in a New Fnglatid town, ihe name of which was 'Sparks & Flint.’ They failed, and S arks, the senior pait ner made tracks for regions unknown. Poor Flint endeavored to make the credi tors su pose the failure originated from his having connection with a rascal like Sparks. A village way wrote the follow ing lines upon the shut up store door : “ Flint” and “Sparks’’ in contact came, To trade and deal—or die ; From the “ connection" rose a flantc, Which caused “ Sparks” to fly. Now which should hear the blow and dint David Sparks or Jonathan Flint ?” Progress of Improvement — ‘Moth er,’ asked a six foot gawkev, after two hours of brown study, ‘what did you and dad used to do when he come a courtin’ you ?’ ‘Good airth and seas! what dev. you mem, Jttdehiah V ‘ Why, 1 went a courtin’ last Sunday night —1 went to Deacon Doolittle’s to see Peggy, and she told rue 1 didn’t know how to court. 1 axt her to show tne how, and says she ‘ax your rnattn.’ So now 1 | want to know what you and father did.’ ‘ La, sus ! Why, Jed, we used to sit hy j the site, and eat roast turkeys and mince j pies, and drink cider, and watch the crick ets runnin’ round the hearth.’ ‘ Good gracious! times aint as they used to was, mother, that’s sartin. 1 was all slicked up to kill, and looked tearin’ scrumpshus, and the only tiling Peggy gin me was a raw cold pickle !’ A Practical Man. — In a recent trial for an assault and battery, in Pennsylva nia, the counsel for tlie defendant asked one of the witnessess, a stout athletic man, to describe the manner in which the plain tiff vvas assaulted ; when he immediately took hold of the counsel by the collar, and gave him a tremendous shaking, to the no small amusement of tho judges, specta tors, &c., who were convulsed with laugh ter. Laziness grows on people ; it begins in cobwebs, and ends in iron chains. The more business a man has to do, the more he is able to accomplish, for he learns to economize his time. NUMBER 19. A Parody. —There is much good com mon sense in the following version of an old poem : John Alcohol, my Joe John, When vve were first acquaint, I’d money in my pockets, John, Which now I know there ain’t. I spent it all in treating, John, Because 1 loved you so: But mark me how you’ve treated me ! John Alcohol, my Joe. We've been too long together, So you must take one road, John, And I will take the other; John Alcohol, my Joe John, For wo may tumbledown, John If hanrl in hand we go, And I will hove the bill to foot, John Alcohol, my Joe. A Slight Mistake. — An aged gentle man from the Borders lately resolved to visit tlie ‘famous London town,’ and ar rived in that city in tlie month of June. A few days after his arrival, having walked from mom to eve under a sultry sun, he became fatigued, and wishful to rest him self, lie entered Madame Tussaud’s exhi bition of wax work, and sat down. He had scarcely dune so, when baltny sleep stole o’er him. A family party coming up, tlie venerable gen 'email in the chair vvas taken for one of Madame T’s wax-work figures, and, accordingly, the party stoc.d to gaze at him. The sire nodded; they admired ! ‘ Well,’ quoth the mother, ‘ how nat ural !’ At this tlie father—a bit of a ethic in bis own way—planted himself in front of tlie supposed figure, and with all the severity of ati Edinburgh reviewer, forthwith be gan to point out all its faults, and to show llie many grievous errors into which the at list had fallen. But all that he had said of its faults could not restrain the young est girl from embracing the image—to be stow a kiss! She did so, and the Border er awoke. What the feelings of the par ty were, it would bo difficult to describe. One of them, in relating the incident, re marked that he had heard of the confusion at the building of the Tower of Babel, hut he questions whether it vvas so great as that of the party on this occasion. Tiif. Truth.—A well known inhabitan of U 1 version, one of the members of the Society of Friends, vvas conversing in the streets, the other day, with a professional friend, when a female, who had evidently been suffering from severe affliction, pass ed by. The Friend, perceiving her weak condi ion, acc s ed her, and said, ‘ Thou seeuiest very poorly; art thou ill V The woman replied that she vvas just recovering from the effects of a prolonged sickness, adding that she vvas very poor, and would he thankful for any assistance He immediately rejoined— ‘ Here is a shilling for thee—it is more than God Almighty ever gave me.’ IDs friend, who was standing near, vvas much shocked by this observation, and was in the act of remonstrating when he was interrupted by the exclamation, ‘Nay! tliou, a pr-fessiottal man, ought to know tli at what I have said is nothing hut the truth. God never gives us any thing; He only lends us what we have.’ Too Smart.— The other day, one of widow B’s admirers was complaining of the t nth-ache. Mrs. B’s boy immediate ly spoke up — ‘ Well sir, why don’t you do as ma does ? She lakes her teeth out and puts ’em back whenever she wants to.’ A few minutes afterwards, tho boy was whipped on some pretence or other. Popularity Defined. —' Was Brown a popular man when he lived in your town ?’ inquired a busy-body of bis friend. ‘ l should think he was, replied the gen tleman, as many persons endeavored to prevent his leaving, and several of them, including the sheriff’ the deputy, and sev eral constables, followed him for sumo dis tance.’ A Question and Answer. —‘Arc you going ?’ ‘ Why, ye-es. The fact is that your parly is so slow, and 1 am really so infer nally bored, that I shall go somewhere and smoke a quiet segar.’ ‘ Well, good night. As you are by no means handsome, a great puppy, and no! in the least amusing, I think it the best thing you can do.’ A pint to stop at. —‘ I think,’ said an old toper, commenting upon the habits of a young man who was fast making a beast of himself, ‘ when a man reaches a certain pint in drinkin’ he ort to stop.’ ‘ Well, 1 think,’ said old Beeswax, dry ly, ‘ he ought to stop before he reaches a pint." Notability. —‘ The man who puff’s to bacco-smoke in ladies’ faces arrived in town last week. He came in company with the man who whistles at reading rooms. The lady who carries babies to the theatre is expected.’ It is in vain to regret a misfortune when it is past retrieving, but few have philosophy or strength enough to profit by it.

From Wright's Casket. ‘*l Thank Thee Mother.” BY CARL LINDEN. It is only now having passed the days I of childhood, and attained maturer years, that I can look hack and perceive the real j value of my mother’s tender care. Her influence kept me from ail impure [ compainions, and restiained my feet from ! wandering paths. She gave a bia9 to taste from the purest models ; she cultiva ted the tender emotions and fine feelings of the heart. For that faith which works beyond the present, and views eternal objects near— “ The hope that nnchors there my bark. Immovably"— ihe charity that looks with less severe eye on other’s errors than my own; for what ever my Heavenly Father has given mo talent or gtace to be, that i ascribe to his blessing on my mother’s care. Now as the silver threads thicken upon her temple locks, when her eye loses its lustre, and her hand its strength—l would pour around her path all the treasures of filial effection. With gratitude would I acknowledge the training that gives nte mental power. I would reflect hack on her whatever halo may encircle the brow of my immortal spirit. Yes, my Mother, now I seethe (ruth and beauty of that love that guarded my infant years, and followed me through in creasing days, has ripened into sisterly af fection. For this fountain and its cease less streams, —1 thank thee Mather ! It has not been in vain, in my innocent soul I feel its sum is not yet counted, its importance is not yet calculated. For thy watchful, sleepless care—for thy prayerful heavenly companionship—/ thank thee. Mother ! When these thrilling nerves—this beat ing pulse—this throbbing head and boun ding heart, shall know their last repose— (hen with louder voice in firmer tone and sweeter tune, will 1 thank thee. Mother ! May our Heavenly Father grant to thy declining years the fulfilment of all their earthly expectations—the bright fruition of thy heavenly hopes! Nations without Fire. — During the ancient days of \\ e!ch Royalty, among the twenty-four ranks ofservants that attended The Court, was one called “The King’s This was a young gentle fhan whose duty it was to sit upon the floor with his hack towards the fire and hold the king’s feet in his bosom all the time he sat at tlie table, to keep them warm and comfortable. It is said that site was entirely unknown to many of the nations of antiquity, and even at the present day it is unknown in some parts of Africa. The inhabitants of tlie Marian Islands, which were discovered in 1551 had no idea if fire, and expressed the greatest as tonishment on first beholding it—believing it to be some kind of living animal which livid on wood. An Anecootb of Lamb. —A Cheese monger, who, having realized a large for • tune, retired with a genteel wife and still genteeler daughter, to enjoy tho “otivm cum digni'alc" in a nobleman sort of way at Highgate, where he had a superb villa, was above all things most anxious to con ceal from every one of his acquaintances that he had ever been engaged in trade at all—more especially in so low a calling as that of “Cheesemonger.” It was the can ker in his bloom rose of life, and any allu sion, however accidental, was construed by him into a deadly and and never to be for given insult. In a large party, at the house of the villago clergyman, Coleridge, Lamb, and the quondam cheesemonger were each present. In a discussion on the hard Poor Law, which was then agitating the politi cal and social circles of London, the reti red tradesman took high ground, and irri tated the kind-hearted Fliza by violent denunciations of the poor ; turning round, and with great appearance of triumph over the silent wit, he said to the company generally, but move particularly to Lamb, “You must bear in mind, sir, that 1 have got rid of all that stuff which you Poets call the “Milk of Human Kindness.” Lamb looked at him sleactiiy and gave in his acquiescence in these words—“ Yes, sir, 1 am aware of it—you turned it all in’o cheese several years ago.” Tlie reti red cheesemonger was inconsolable.
