POETRY. THE JWO JACKS IN BEP. John Tyler was the President Os this our happy land; A brave old Captain eke was he Os the Corporal Band. John Bolts he was a Congressman, From old Virginia’s shore’s ; A living friend of “ Tyler too,” A doctor of the hews. Now these two Jacks, at Brown’s one night, While cruizing, made a halt ; One say* he took but Adam’s ale, The other took the malt. ISowever true this tale may lie, We know they “ put’’ to bed ; And just before, John Botts, he put A night cap on his head. Like Siamese twins they closely laid, And talk’d of Bank and State; John Botts got wroth anJ swore he’d leave The Captain to his fate. To make things worse, just at the time, “ O surely 'twas too bad While John was talking, something bit, That set him raving mad. The Captain tried to cool him otf, But John he was so dry, That ha got up and made a vow, “ To head him off or die.'’ Now let us sing long life John Botts Long life John “ Tyler too j ’ And may when next they go to Brown’s, Call single beds for two. FUZZ. THE PRAYER ON BUNKER'S HILL. BY MRS. L. II SIGOURNEY. During the battlo of Bunker’s Hill, a venerable elergyman knelt on the field with hands upraised and grey head uncovered, and while the bullets whis tled around him, pray ed for the success of his com patriots, and the deliverance of his country. It was an hour of fear and dread, High rose the battlc-cry. And round, in heavy volumes, spread The war-cloud to the sky. ’Twas not, as when in rival strength Contending nations meet, Or love of conquest madly hurls A monarch from his seat: Yet one was there, unused to tread The path of mortal strife, Who but tho Savior’s flock had fed Beside tho fount of life. He knelt him where the black smoke wreathed, His head was bow’d and bare, While for an infant land, he breathed The agony of prayer. The column, red with early morn, May tower o’er Bunker’s height, And proudly tell a race unborn, Their patriot fathers’ might; 3ut thou, oh patriach, old and gray, Thou prophet of the free, Who knelt among the dead, that day, What fame shall rise to thee 1 It is not meet that brass or stone, Which feci the touch of time, Should keep the record of a faith That woke thy deed sublime; Wo trace it on a tablet fair, Which glows when stars wax palp, A promise that the good man’s prayer. Shall with his God prevail. LADY MINE. “Lady mine! lady mine! Take the rosy wreath I twine; All its sweets are less than thine,. Lady, lady mine! The blush that on thy check is found, Bloomcth fresh the whole year round; 'l'll/ sweet breath as sweet gives sound, Lady, lady mine! Lady mine! kidy mine! How I love tho graceful vine, Whose tendrils mock thy ringlet’s twine, Lady, lady mine! How I love that gen’rous tree, Whose ripe clusters promise mo Bumpers bright to pledge to thee, Lady, lady mine! Lady mine! lady mine!' Like the stars that nightly shine, Thy sweet eyes shed light divine, Lady, lady mine! And as sages wise, of old, From the stars could fate unfold, Thy bright eyes my fortune told, I,ady, lady mine! From the Boston Notion. The Happy Hatband. The happiness of parties ought always to follow the union of hands which takes place at the altar, though we are well aware that such is not uniformly the case. It is, however, we are convinced, much more frequently so than bachelors imag ine. With the happy wife we have, strictly speaking, no present concern ; our business is with the happy husband. We may be permitted, however, to re mark by way of parenthesis, that, iis we mentioned hist week, wherever there is a Happy Husband, it follows as a sort of necessary consequence, that there must be a happy wife. It is a common observation, and we dare say that like most of the apotheghms in general circulation, it is in accordance with sound philosophy, that every wife wishes to be a mother. Some men’s spouses, we know, profess to have no such wish; but these will invariably be found to be married ladies who not only are not, but have no reasonable prospect of becoming mothers. And if we could only get at the bottom of the well in which truth is said to have taken up her residence, we have no doubt we should at once be in a condition to satisfy our selves, that these childless ladies declaim against matrimonial “ pledges,” for pre cisely the same reason as the fox in the fable did against the gra{>es. Reynard discovered that the grapes were decidedly sour, the moment lie became convinced of the hopelessness of the attempt to reach them. Married ladies who have no children, and see no probability of ev er having any, display a corresponding alacrity in discovering that it is far better to be without them. It is a reflection on the better feelings and holier aspirations ot human nature to say, that any two persons can devoted ly love each other and !>e legally' united together, and yet not anxiously wish to have living and lovely illustrations ot their mutual affection. It any such persons were really to be found, we would ask them to go and receive the language of silent but severe rebuke from the irrational creation. The birds ot the air and the beasts of the field concur without an exception in furnishing us with the most conclusive proofs, that a love of offspring is one of the strongest instincts of their nature; one which grows with their growth, and strength ens with their strength, and only suffers extinction when the moment has arrived at which they themselves are destined to perish. The love of children, though perhaps more intense in a woman's breast than in that of man, is nevertheless one of the most deeply implanted passions in his nature also. To be the father ot one or more children is, in the infinite majority' of cases, a “sine qua non” to a husband’s happiness. To see a smiling cherub, and be able to claim its parentage, is indeed to realize a bliss bey'ond compare; a hap piness far more pure and perfect than ev er entered into poet’s imagination, unless, indeed, that pout was himself the papa ot one or more “ little dears,” ushered into being within the hallowed liounds of wedlock. And depend upon it, that he only can faithfully or felicitously paint the pleasures of the matrimonial state, who can boast of possessing offspring of his own. No one, indeed, but such a person has a right to enter the sacred territory; to all other it is forbidden ground. Inexpressible nrc the pleasures of an affectionate husband and tender father, when he gazes on his lovely infant (as in our pictorial illustration) reclining in the lap.of its mother, and looking up to her in all the innocence of its smiling playful countenance of the wife anti mother as slit.* reciprocates the happy glances of her infant’s eye, crowns the bliss of the husband and father. Com pared with this pure and elevated felici ty, the highest happiness of him who lives in single seclusion must be misery itself. We have a theory to propound in which we ourselves have been potent be lievers ever since our social position qualified us to form an opinion on the subject. That theory is, that when So crates pronounced his celebrated eulogi urn on the felicity of the married state, which made the married part of his audi ence run home in breathless haste to their wives, and the single men to rush head long into matrimony —ho must have painted with till the fascinations of his unrivalled eloquence, such a scene as that to which we have pointed attention, rather than vainly sought to portray. Mere, abstract philosophising on the Mou sed ness of marriage, however able and ingenious, could never have wrought such wondrous results—could never have operated like a charm. Oh, no; the illustrious philosopher of antiquity must have recalled to the minds of the married men the supreme felicity which they had often enjoyed at their own hearths, as they saw their wives lavish their love and their kisses on their infant offspring, or as they themselves dandled the little cherubs on their knees. In the ease of the bachelors, Socrates must have brought before their mental ey'e, with all the vividness and fidelity of a well exe cuted painting, the exquisitely delightful scene in the matrimonial panorama of every-day life, to which we have alluded, llarred, indeed, to all the better and ho lier feelings of human nature, must be the bachelor breast of him who could hesitate to enter the sanctorum of the married state after so faithful and power ful a picture of matrimonial bliss. Not ourselves possessing even an in finitesmal portion of the talents or elo quence of Socrates, we can anticipate no such results from what we have said or could say in praise of matrimony; but as Miss Mary Cook lias, in our artistical representation of tho Happy Husband, thrown an atmosphere of pure and perfect bliss around him, we would ask our readers to transfer their attention from what we have said to what she has done; and should the result be, to make nny one of our wedded readers hurry home to their wives, or induce our bachelor patrons to form an immediate and fixed resolve to hasten with some lovely wo man to the hymenial altar, we shall feel that we are not without our reward. The following is the graphic account which Mr. l-’ay gives, and we fear, alas, it is too true a picture of an AMERICAN DUEL. “ You had better remain here, my good fellows,” sttid Frank, to the boatmen; “ lie quiet, some of us shall want you in half an hour.” “ Ay, ay, sir.” But these men were rather too much interested in the progress of the little drama, to obey. Hastily mooring their boat to a large stone, with eager feet they stole noiselessly up after the rest of the party, who were too much occupied with other thoughts to pay them any atten tion, and planted themselves close to the scene of action, where they could, with an undisturbed luxury, lx- spectators of this —in the nineteenth century! fash ionable, honorable, oft-repeated, oft-yet to-be-repcated scene, We may all have an opportunity of Rusting like them, the excitement which used to give Commo dus and Nero an appefDe for breakfast. “ Now Lienuox,” said Randolph, in a low voice, his flippant manner entirely changed, “ 1 understand you to assure me of your intention to lire to the best of your skill.” “ Certainly,” said Frtmk. “ I have not coine here to play.” The parties now approached each oth er, and calm and courteous greetings were interchanged. The rides were im mediately loadtd, and the distance meas ured with delilxrate and careful precis ion. A few words were exchanged be tween White and Randolph. The prin cipals were ordered to their places, and the pieces were handed to them. “ Any thing more, iny boy ?” whisper ed Randolph. “ Nothing,” replied Frank, with a smile. “ When I say, three gentlemen !” said the business-like voice of Randolph, as all receded and left the opponents planted upon the green level lawn erect, silent and alone. There was one moment’s pause. Ran dolph advanced to give the signal. “ One— Two Three !” Each piece was discharged as he spoke. Frank sprang into the air, and fell heav ily to the ground, like an eagle which a skilful sportsman has brought from the clouds, while the blue smoke rolled slow ly off, curling away upon the dim morn ing light, and up through the green branches. All present rushed to the spot. The unfortunate young man lay extended at full length, writhing in great pain, and absolutely weltering in gore, which gushed from his breast and mouth. Ilis eyes were turned inward in the con vulsion of nature’s last appalling strug gle. Glendinning, from whose face horror had drayted every trace of color, stagger ed forward, and threw himself upon his knees, with clasped hands, gasping for breath. “ Frank! Frank!” he rather shrieked than said. Rut on catching a full view of the face he stopped petrified and dumb. It was death he was looking at. The counte nance was undergoing a frightful change. A stream of blood, apparently exhaust lcss, continued to flow from the wound. Wilson cut away the clothing in awful silence. Drops of sweat had burst out on the forehead of the dying man, who, with lustreless and broken eyes, sunken cheeks, the nose sharpened with the strain of great agony, was obviously undergo ing a last crisis. “ Frank! Frank !” gasped Glendin ning, his hair rising with terror, “ sjtcak to me.” “I, I, for” hut he could not proceed. “ Doctor ! save him ! It’s nothing,” said Glendinning. “ He’s fainting. See, see ! Doctor, quick ! Why don’t you save him?” “The lung!” said Wilson, in a low voice. “It has perforated the lung.” “My mother,” gasped Frank. “ Tell her that ” He fell back. “Now then,” cried White, “I hope Colonel Nicholson will be satisfied.” “ Poor devil !” muttered the boatmen, “ his jig’s up.” l'arowollj *-»oV>lo licfirt,” r.r’^ dolph, dashing the quick coming tears from his eyes. “ Poor young fellow,” said White, looking at his watch. “Now, Giendin ning, we must be off.” “ Dead!” echoed Glendinning, aghast, dripping with cold sweat, and staring at the outstretched stiffening body and rigid countenance, which had already assumed a marble fixedness. “ Frank ! Frank !” There was no answer. There was no motion ; and he stood gazing on the dead face of his friend. Old Portuguese Joe’s daring feat, (of nailing the flag to the mast.) One of the editors of the New Orleans Picayune recently met Capt. Aaron Fitz gerald, who was a marine on board the same vessel with Old Portuguese Joe, when he performed his gallant exploit of nailing the stripes and stars to the mast, in the battle of Lake Champlain. He says: Captain Fitzgerald interested us deeply with liis description of the exciting scene. The flag had been twice shot down, and fell at length to the deck. Bullets were flying like hail through the sails and rig ging. There was a single instant’s pause, when the flag dropped, as if all hearts sunk with it, and the next moment every eye in the vessel was turned aloft, and every voice broke out in long, deaf ening cheers, when brave Joe was seen dashing up the shrouds, with his mouth full of nails, a number in his lefthand, and the banner of the Union around his neck! He ran like a squirrel to the mast-head, and there sat as a living target for the British marines, until he drove his last nail through the flag into the truck; and, ns the glorious stripes floated off again upon the breeze, he hung beneath it, wa ving his tarpaulin at the British vessels, and returning triumphantly the shouts and cheers of his shipmates below! The brave sailor reached the deck in safety : he had before been the pet of the ship, and now lie became the hero. Captain Fitzgerald was himself wounded in the action, having the upper part of his shoulder shot away by a cannon hall, and Joe became at once his watchful and at tentive nurse. The Captain speaks of this with warm and grateful recollection.' Poor old Joe’s exploit is well worthy to prove a theme for some American J Jib den to enweave in song lor our sailors of another generation. Poor Old Joe, it will he recollected, perished in the flames, on the night of the lire in Exchange place, New Orleans, some few months since. The Picayune, with truth and feeling, remarks: “Tho awful fate that so suddenly closed his ca reer, has left an interest around his mem ory which cannot soon fade.” Cream. As soon as it is collected it should be placed in a stone crock, which should he either hung into a well, or set up to the brim m the spring within the milk-house. Banditti iu Louisiana and Mississippi The New Orleans Tropic of the 3d inst., contains the following frightful and exciting story: — “We learu that a gentleman from Washington county, in this State, over the lake, arrived in this city last night, with a demand upon Gov. Mouton, for a detachment of troops to aid in quelling a most alarming insurrection,attended with serious loss of life. The facts as we un derstand them are as follows: Several hundred men from Hancock county, Mississippi, joined by many from Washington county, in this State, had formed themselves into a band of free booters, for the pillage of property and the destruction of life. It is stated that they are well organized and armed, and are regularly encamped. Many lives have already been taken, and extensive robbe ries have been committed. We take it for granted that a detachment of troops will be ordered to the scene of difficulties, in accordance with the demand made upon the governor.” The Covington (La.) Advocate of the 29th lilt, states that on the Wednesday previous, a band of twenty men, calling themselves “Regulators,” approached the house of Mr. Hiram Adams, in Wash ington parish, and shot down both him and his brother. A gun was fired at Mrs. Adams, the ball from which was stopped by an intervening fence, and she was ob liged to fly to save her life. Adams, it appears, had become odious to the “Regu lators” pn account of lawsuits which he had brought against some of his neigh bors. The murderers of Adams belong to the gang sjioken of in the paragraph copied from the Tropic. The Pirates off Cuba The following extract from a letter da ted at Mansanilla, April (ith, gives anoth er story of the pirates lurking at the south of Cuba: “ A fisherman from the Twelve League Keys (the first to the westward of Cape Cruz) came here last evening to inform the captain of the port that about the 14th March, a pirate brought a vessel [herniaphordite brig] close into the Keys, and in tiic course of the night burnt her. W hat became of the men he knows not. Saw her burning in the night, and noth ing in sight next morning.” “ The worst of all slavery is fear of a husband.” Mrs. Ellis says so ; she may have found it so; but a hen-pecked friend of ours is a living proof that the worst of al l slavery is fear of a wife. “Oh ! you’d like the bones picked out of your shad, would you, Mr. Rim ?” American Enterprise. A vessel cleared lately at Boston for London, with four hundred bales of drill ings on board, which arc believed to be the first American cotton fabrics sent to Great Britain.— : Es. paper. It is always pleasing to record testimo nials or American prosperity. it has been said, and we believe without vani ity, that whatever Americans attempt they do better than any other nation in the world. Our people have “perfectivencss,” as a phrenologist would say,most strongly developed. “Improvement” seems to be their leading instinct. —Albany Argus. Clay arrested by Calhoun and the Constitu tion. When Mr. Calhoun was at Norfolk on his way home from the last Session of Congress, an incident occurred which some may regard as an auspicious omen. We give the occurrence as related to us by a gentleman of this city, on the au thority of an officer of the Navy who was present, and at the time promised to send us an account which, however, has not come to hand yet. Mr. Calhoun was invited and handsomely entertained on board the CONSTITUTION; and while that gallant old redoubtable was saluting him, the wads shot away a part of the rigging of a sloop which was sail ing by, and brought her to, under the stern of Old Iron Sides. On hailing her with offers of assistance to repair the un toward damages she turned out, much totheamusementof those in the frigate, to be “THE HENRY CLAY.” Itisnotthe first time that “Old Table Rock,” as some body in Georgia has nick-named the cast-iron tribune of the people, has had to do with disabling the high reach ing Buckingham of the West, by dis charges from the batteries of the consti tution ; hut may we not hope that under the peculiar circumstances, the above re lated incident may prefigure the results of the canvass of 1544 ? The Home. The authoress of “ The Neighbors,” has achieved such a reputation by that excellent story, that her works are sought after as eagerly as those of James, Bul wer and Dickens, or even more so. We have received from the Harpers her se cond work, “ The Home; or, Family Cares and Family Joys,” translated by Mary Howitt, which is published as No. XVII., of the “Library of Select Nov els.” Price one shilling. It is computed that thirty thousand accidents annually occur in London.— These, chiefly among the working class es. A few poor laborers, knowing the distresses-of their brethren, formed a so ciety for the relief of the families of such sufferers. Last year this society, having increased rapidly, distributed 4,320 lbs. meat, as many loaves of bread, 19,500 lbs. potatoes, and 1,250 cwt. coals. It is now patronized by many of the nobility, but remains under the control of the workmen. It is a noble institution, and is doing an immense amount of good.— Huston Post.
