AWAY.
BY WM. W. URANDY.
The voice of inspiration bears
This muli' to us to-day:
While all the face of Nature wears
The semblance of decay,
Spring, with its (lowers, nas passed away,
And summer, too, has tied,
Ai;t. autumn’s sere and yellow leaves
Crumble beneath our tread.
Change is the garment Nature wears,
Rodts moulder and decay,
Mountains are moved, atiu empires fall,
And kingdoms pass away.
The u iglity ocean that rolls
In majesty aud power,
Anon in gentle dew descends,
To kiss the opening (lower.
Our lives are like a breath—a dream—
Aud bubble on the wave ;
There’s hut a thought, a step between
The cradle and the grave!
A stone, perchance, may mark the spot
Where we unconscious lay ;
That, too* ere long>will turn to dust,
Aud mingle with our clay,
The wanderer of another age
Will pass unheeding by
Our lonely graves, without one call
Upon his sympathy.
Bui is there nought -mid scenes like these
That comfort can impart ?
Is there no source of joy to east
A charm around the heart ?
Yes, there’s a brighter, holier sphere,
Exposed to no decay ;
The soul may shine fu beiuty there, ,
Free from mortality.

[From the New York Tribune.]
The Two Penny Marriage.
“ilr. Pease, we want to be married.”
“Want' to be married—what for ?”
“Why, you see, we don’t think its right
for us to be living together litis way any
longer, r aud we have been talking over the
matter to-day and you see—”
“Yes. yes, I see, you have been talking
over the matter over the bottle arid have,
come to the conclusion to be married.—
When you get sober you will both repent
of it probably.”
“No, sir, we are not very drunk, and we
don’t think we are doing right—we are not
doing as we were brought up to do by our
pious parents. We have been reading a-
bout the good things you have done lor
just such poor outcasts as we are, and we
want you to try and do something for u 1 ;.”
“Read ? Can you read ? Do you read the
Bible ?”
“Well not much, lately, but we read the
newspapers, and sometimes we read some
thing good in them. How can we read the
Bible when we are drunk ?”
“Do you think getting married will keep
you from getting drunk ?”
“Yes, for we are going to take the pledge
too. and we shall keep it, depend upon
that.”
“Suppose you take the pledge and try
that first, and if you can keep it till you
can wash some of the dirt away, and get
some clothes on, then 1 will marry you ?”
“No, that won’t do. I shall get to think
ing what a poor, dirty, miserable wretch I
am, and how j am living with this woman
who ia not a bad woman by nature, and
theu I will drink and she will drink—oh,
cursed ruin !—and what is to prevent us ?
But if we were married, my wife, yes, Mr.
Pease, my wife would say, “Thomas,” (she
would not say, “Tom you ugly brute,) don’t
be tempted,” aud who knows but we might
be somebody yet—somebody that our moth
ers would not be ashamed of.”
II, re the woman, who had been silent,
and rather moody, burst intoa flood of tears
crying, “Mother, mother, I know uot wheth
er she is alive or not, and dare not inquire;
hut if we were married and reformed, I
would make her happy once more.”
“I could no longer stand the appeal,” said
Mr. P; “and determined to give them a
trial. I have .married a good many poor,
wretched looking couples, but none that
looked quite so much so as this; The man
was hatless and shoeless, without coat or
vest, with long hair and beard begrimmed
with dirt. He was by trade a bricklayer,
one of tlye best in the city. She wove the
last remains of a silk bonnet, arid something
that might pass for shoes, and an old, very
old dress, once rich merino, apparently with
out any under garments.
“And your name is Thomas—Thomas
what?”
“Euiiig sir. Thomas.Etting, a good true
name and a true man, that is, it shall be if
you marry us.”
“Well, well, Fain going to marry you..’,
“Are you? There Meg, I told you so”
“Don’t call me Meg. If I am going to
be married, I will'be my right name, the
one rny riiother gave me.”
“Not VIeg- Well, 1 uever knew that.”
“Now Thomas hokl your tongue, you
talk too much.”
“ What is your name.”
“Matilda." Must I tell the other. Yes I
will, and 1 will never disgrace it I don’t
think I should have been as bad if I had
kept it.. That bad woman who first temp
ted me, made me take a falsa name, unless
for that-of a good husband, Matilda Fraley.
Nobody knows me by that name iu this bad
city.’ - V . ...
“Very well, Matilda and Thomas, take
each other by the right hand and look at
me, for I am going to unite you in the holy
bonds of marriage by God’s ordinance 1 - Do
you think you are sufficiently sober to com
prebend its solemnity ?”
Y es, sir.
“Marriage being one of God’s holy ordi
nances, cannot he kept in sm, misery, tilth
and drunkenness. .Thomas, will you lake
Matilda to be your lawful, true, and only
wedded wife ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Y ou promise that you will live with her
in sickness as well as in health, and nourish,
piotect and comfort her as'your true and
faithful wife ; that you will he. to her a true
and faithful husband;, that you will not get
drunk and will clothe vourseif and keep
ch an ?”
“So I will.”
“And you, Matilda, on your part, will
you promise ihe same, aud be a true wife
to this man ?”
“1 will try, sir.”
“But do you promise all this faithfully ?’’
“Yes, sir, I will.”
“Then I pronounce you man and wife.”
“Now, Thomas, says the new wife, after
I had made out the iertifleate and given it
to her, with an injunction to keep it safe—
“now. pay Mr. l’case, and let us go home
and break the bottle.” Thomas felt first iu
the right hand pocket, then m the lets, then
back to the right, then examined the watch
tub.
“Why, where is it?” says he, you had
two dollars this morning !”

Sure enough, what could lie do more?—
I took them and prayed over them that in
parting with the last penny, this couple
might have parted with a vice, a wicked,
foolish practice, which had reduced them to
such a degree of poverty .and wretchedness
that the monster power of rum could hard
ly send its victim iower.
So Tom arid Meg were transformed into
Mr. and Mrs. Kiting and having, grown
so'riew hat. more sober while in the house,
seemed to fully understand their new posi
tion and all the obligations they had taken
themselves.
For a few days I thought occasionally of
this two-penny marriage, and then it be
came absorbed w ith a thousand other scenes
of wretchedness, which I have witnessed
since I have lived in the cectre ot the cu
nt s ry.
i ime wore on and 1 married many other
couples—often those who came in their car
riages and left a golden marriage tee—a
delicate way of giving to the needy, but
among them all I had never performed the
rite for a couple quite so low as thaL ot a
Uvo-penny fee, and I resolved 1 never would
again. At length, however, .1 had a call tor
a full match to them, which 1 refused.
“Why do you come-to me to be married,
mv friend?” said I fu the man. “You are
bo'th too poor to live separate, and besides,
you are both terrible drunkards, I know-you

are.

and a faithful, honest good wife. Now. this j

inusl take the pledge of the same man, and ;
have his eli'orls sanctified with the same

and Matilda and me to watch over them, I
do believe they will succeed.”
Sc* they did. So many others by the
same means. 1 married them aud as l shook
hands with Mix Etting at parting, he left
two coins in my hand, wfith Lbe simple re

remark,” two pennies again my dear.”
“Two pennies? Why, husband, they are

followed that act.”
“And will follow the present, if the pledge
is faithfully kept. Truly, tins is a good re
sult of a Two l’enny Marriage.
“No we must take all together, nothing
else will save us.
“Will that?”
“It did for one of my friends.”
“Well, then go and bring that friend
here let me see and hear how much it saved
him and then I will make up my mind what
to do if I can do you any good, I want to
do it,”
“Mv friend is at work; he has got a good
job, arid several hands working for him, and
is making money, won’t quit till night, bhall

“Y r es, I will stay at home and wait for
you.”
I little expected to see him again, but
about 8 o’clock, the servant said that man
and his girl, with a gentleman and lady
were waiting in the reception room. 1 told
him to ask the lady and gentleman to walk
up to the parlor aud sit a moment, while 1
sent the candidates for marriage away, be
ing determined never to unite another
drunken couple, not dreaming there was
any sympathy between the parties. But
they would not come up; they wanted to see
that couple married.—So I vvent down and
found the squalidly wretched pair in com
pany, with a weli-dressed laboring mau, for
he wore a fine black coat, silk ^vest, goiden
chain, clean white shirt and cravat, polished,
calfskin boot; and his wife was as neat and
as tidily dressed as anybody’s wife and her
face beamed with intelligence, and the way
in which she clung to her husband as she
s. eined to shrink from my sight told that
she was a loving as well as a pretty wife.
“This couple,” savs the gentleman, “have
come foKie tnarrild.”
“Yes, I know it, but I have refused. Look
at them; do they look like fit subjects for
such a holy ordinance? God never intend
ed those whom be created in his own im
age, should live in matrimony like this man
and woman. I cannot marry them.”
“Cannot? YVby not? You married us
when we were worse off—more dirty-
worse clothed—and more intoxicated.”
The woman shrunk back a little more
out of sight. I saw she trembled violently,
and put her clean cambric handkerchief up
to her eyes.
YVhat could it mean? Married them
when worse off? W ho were they?
“Have you forgotten us?” said the wo-
mau, taking my haud in hers, and drop
ping on her knees; •‘have you forgotten
drunken Tom and Meg? VVe have never
forgotten you; but pray for you every day?”

The Tomb of Andrew Jackson,
AT THE HERMITAGE NEAR NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Hermitage, which was for many
years the residence of General Jackson, is
beauufully situated on the bank of the
Cumberland river, about ten miles.from the
city of Nashville. There the* mortal re
mains of the distinguished General and
President, who filled so important a place
in the history of his country, were interred
iu June, 1845. We have uot a seen any
particular description of the tomb at the
Hermitage, but it is known that the Gen
eral was opposed to pomp and show in
coinmemoiation of the dead. He refused
to accept of a marble sarcophagus brought
from the Mediterranean, which hud con
tained the remains of one of the heroes of
antiquity. He desired to be buried in a
plain manner, according to the customs of
his countrymen.
Gen. Jackson was^bnried l>y ? tbe side of
his wife,who had preceded him to the toinb
sixteen years before his own. death. The
following epitaph on this lady is interest
ing, as it was written by Gen. Jackson him
self)
The Richmond Enquirer says ;
A lady in the West has been kind e-
nough to send us.o copy of Andrew Jack-
sou’s euitaph on his wife. It is known to
have.been his own composition, yet al
though it has been read by thousands on
her tomb in Tennessee, it has never appear
ed in print before. This singular inscrip
tion runs thus:
“Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachal
Jackson, wife of President Jackson who di

64. Her face was fair, her person pleasing
her temper amiable,, and her heart kin d.
She delightc-d in relieving the wants of her
fellow creatuies, and cultivated that divine

summation of our proudest wishes —

The cross before the crown.”
A few years since a wealthy Boston
merchant was leaving a store in New Y'ork
where he had occasion to transact soma
business, his eye was arrested bv the ap--
pearance of a man who was removing some
boxes from tliri store. Iu him he thought
he recognized one whom lie had seeu before
in a far different, station,
“Is uot your name — 1 —?” said he,
“and were you not a year since, at the head
of a large aud flourishing establishment in
L ?”
“Y'es, sir was the reply; “but I failed in
busines a few months since, and after losing
'every dollar of mv properlv, was obliged to
begin the world anew. Rather thau call
upon my friends for assistance, I accepted
this situation as porter. I wished only to
get a foothold. Call twelve months hence
and inquire tor me.”
Twelve months after that conversation,
porters name was inscribed as a member of
the firm, and honor respectability an wealth
were soon ossociated with his name.
Too many there are who deeome discour

iu the journey of life. Cases or constantly

of the wayward goddess lost their all. have"
resigned themselves passivedy to their fate
and with crushed energies and blighted
hopes floated, poor arid dependet down the
current of declining life, with hardly a
feeble effort to recover the position they
have lost. Is this right?—is this manly?

very bottom of the ladder, and with * re

Mr. Polk, before he >. was elected to the
Presidency, had resided at Columbia, Mau

tiring from office he had purchased a beau-

: well as other members of the family. Mr.
! Monroe left only two children, both daugh

Esq., of Rich mond, the other wife of Samu

President died in this city, at the residence
of his son-in-law, Mr. Gouverneur, on the
j 4th of July, 1831. He was interred with
! military and civic honors on Thursday, the
• 7th day of July. The funeral procession
! moved from the city Hall at 4 P. M .,
where the body was brought by a guard of
honor, accompanied by the immediate rela
tives and frieuds of the family. An ad
dress was delivered in front of the Hall by
William A. Drier, President of Columbia
College. The body was then taken to St.
