THE HAPPIEST TIME.
When are w e happiest? W'hcn the light of mom
Wakes the young rose* from llieir crimson rest;
When cheerful sounds upon the fresh winds home,
’Till man resumes his work with blither zest;
While the bright water* leap from rock to glen:
Are we the happiest then?
Alas, those roses! they will fade away,
And thunder tempest will deform the sky:
Ami the summer heaL hid the spring buds decay,
Ami the dear sparkling fountain may be dry;
And nothing beautiful adorn the scene.
To tell what it had been.
When are w# happiest? In the crowded hall,
When fortune smiles, and flatterers hcml the knee?
How soon, how very soon such pl.asur.s pail!
How fast inusl falsehood rainbow 's coloring flee!
Its poison fluw'rets brave the sting of care:
We are not happy there.
Are we the happiest when tho evenin-hearth
Is circled with ils crown of living flowers;
When gortli round the laugh of artless mirth
And w hen attention from her bright urn shuw'ra
lier richest balm on the dilating heart?
Bliss! it ia there tiara art?
Oh no', not thera. It wuuld he happiness
Almost like hssven’a, if it might always bs;
Those brows without one shading uf distress,
And wanting nothing but eternity;
But they are things of earth, and must pas* away—
They must, they must decay!
Those voice# must grow tremulous with years;
Those smiling brows must wear a tinge of gloom;
Those sparkling eyes be quenched in bitter trara,
And, at the last dose darkly in the tomb.
If happiness dopend on I hem alone
How quickly is it gone?
When are wo happiest, then? 0, when resigned
To w hatso'er our cup ef life may brim;
W hen we can know ourselves bat week end blind,
Creatures of earth; and trust alone in Him
Who giveth, in his mercy, joy or pain;
Oh! we are trappiest then.

“MAIDEN’S LITANY.”
ADDRESS TO CIT1D.
O thou, that canst inspire Gods and
men with noble passions, hear, O thou
son of the sea-born Goddess, tlie prayer
of a virgin, who has charms ripe ibr mar
riage, and who longs to repose in peace.
But know thou, that I would rather lay
my head every night on the thorny pillow
of single wretchedness, aud pine away and
wail like Jeptha’s daughter under the
afflictions of life, than lie doomed to the
bondage of a common man, such as now
[jesters me.
Vouchsafe, O Cupid, and listen to my
supplication.
From a decrepid, inanimate, cheerless,
joA'less, wrinkled face, good for nothing,
good natured, penurious old man, who
would grudge me dress and amusement,
O son of the Thunderer, deliver me!
From a cold, cunning, pragmatic, ava
ricious, fily, suspicious tnan, who is always
jealous, -ind incessantly querulous, O son
of the Goddess ul Beauty, deliver me!
From a pert, spruce, conceited, sonnet
eer, r.-lio wastes his lime in writing love
ditties, O thou whose pojver is owned by
celestials, deliver me!
From a stifi) starched, canting hypo
critical fanatic, a wavering religious, who,
like the Pharisee, assumes sanctity though
he has none, O deity of Paphos, deliver
me!
From a mock enthusiast, who in a rage
of puritanical bigotry and gloomy ignor
ance decries and denounces all rational
enjoyments, O thou who sports on the
summit of Olympus, deliver me!
From an inflated, tawdry, unidead un-
mannered, uncouth, unlettered and un
graceful dandy, who is as vain as a pea
cock and stupid as a goose, O thou that
smiles! on happy people, deliver me.
From a dreaming aud experimental phi
losopher, who holds the heel of science
by ihe tail, (I hate the cant ofphilosoph}')
O thou that binds the heart of man, deli
ver me!
From a stingy miser; a cold hearted li
bertine, a busy politician, a phlegmatic
poetaster, a coarse punster, a pretended
wit, a bibaceous lipler, a craven coward,
and rash headlong fool, O thou virgin
t, deliver me.
From a petty fogging lawyer, who is al
ways seen whining after business, or who
uses the contemptible practice oi under
bidding for business, O thou spirit ofhonor,
deliver me!
From a quack doctor, who visits patients
without being sentfur, and then kills them,
O deliver me.
From a dangerous politician whose pay
does not buy his Champagne let alone his
troubles, O ye wonders deliver me.
From the eternal enquiries of a tattling
gossip, from the suspicious look of a busy
body, from all who mind every body’s bu
siness, save their own, O thou spirit of
St. Peter, deliver me.
From a gray old batcliclor, along-faced
enthusiast, and a liar, O kind deity, deli
ver me.
From a Bacchus proselyte, an'd from all
other masculine imperfections, failings,
«uiu affectations not here enumerated, O
spirit of Liberty, deliver me, I beseech
thee!
And last from tnC inquisitive disposition
of a married woman, wi? 1 3 forever pes
tering me about my hopes and prospects
of matrimony, may the gods deliver- me.
Bui give me a husband who is great,
good and true, and I will bless ye, O all
ye saints.—Clinton Gazette.
Gambling in London.—A work has re
cently made its appearance, entitled the
“Great Metropolis,” in which is describ-
a noted place, called Crockford’s Gaming
House, where the nobility resort. The
keeper, who now mingles in tlie highest
circles, was formerly an illiterate and vul
gar fishmonger, but has risen to great
wealth by his establishment. It is stated
ol* him that he is ready at any moment to
accept a challenge to play any nobleman
or gentleman for a stake of .£100,000.
The lollowing is the manner of proceed
ing, on the introduction of a new comer:
“When a'pigeon is caught, it is very un
usual to pluck him the first lew nights.
They allow him to goon winning for some
time. They continue to obtain informa
tion as to the extent of his resources. They
regulate their movements accordingly. It
matters not though lie-be not well suppli
ed with the ready; if his prospect of suc
ceeding to a large fortune be undeniably
good; Crockford’s bank is at his service to
nearly the full amount—supposing it were
■£50,000—of what he is understood to be
certain of succeeding to. Some years ago
Lord C—-—paid down .£100,000 on his
coming of age, for debts of honor he had
contracted^ut Crockford’s. Some idea
may be formed of the extent oTCrockford’s
establishment, and of the style in which
it is kept up, when I mention that no few
er than 3d servants are constantly employ
ed in it. There is one set of waiters lor
ihe day, and another for the night. They
are decorated in the richest lively, and
live in excellent style. They are amaz-
ingly polite to those who use the place; in
Qther words, they perfectly understand
their business. They contribute their
quota, with the splendour of the place, the
sumptuous suppers, and the delicious
wines, to help on the flats on their way
way to ruin. The hour at which tlie haz
ard room is thrown open, is eleven o’clock,
and the dice are in immediate requisi
tion. Crockford himself at this moment
takes his station in a corner of the room,
before a little desk; from that lie never
stirs till the playing is over. He acts on
such occasions as his own clerk. No per
son belonging to the establishment is al
lowed in any circumstances, or under any
pretext, to enter- the room while the gam
blers are at work.
There is a Mr. Page, who acts as in
spector, or groom porter, while tlie games
are going on in the hazard room; but he
is|in the confidence of most of the noble
men and gentlemen, who frequent that
part of the house, and though paid for his
services—some say at the rate of fifty gui
neas per week—he can hardly be said to
he one ofCrockford’s servants. In Crock
ford’s, very large sums are played for with
cards; but it is at the hazard table, when
the game is French hazard, that the work
of plunder is carried on in the most exten
sive scale. Seven years ago, one pigeon
was plucked in a few hours, to the tune of
^50,000—the stakes were .£10,000. It
is only three years since Lord C , the
grandson of a noble aged Earl, lost thirty
thousand dollars in one night. Tho win
ner was a noble Marquis, of sporting noto
riety, who, according to report, was at that
time, if not now, a part proprietor of the
establishment. Losses of £'5,000 £7,000
and £10,000 in one night are by no means
uncommon, when a rich flat is caught.
The public appearance of no young no
bleman, for many years past, has excited
so much interest at Crockford’s as that
of the Duke of Buccleueh. The immense
wealth into the possession of which they
knew he would come when of age, was
too tempting a prize to he overlooked.
Every effort was accordingly made to de
coy him into the great hell of St. James’;
but it would not do. He never evinced
the least disposition for play.”
Of his establishment tlie following anec- ^ ^
dote is related: “One night lb June last, c ; ato j ,| ie j
Lord Ashgrctve lost £4,000, which lie olv perfection,
served to the Earl of Linkwood, was the
la3t farthing of ready cash at his com
mand. The noble Lord, however, Had
undeniable prospective resources. ‘Excuse
me, my Lud,’ said Crockford, making a
very clumsy bow, hut still it was the best
at his disposal—‘Excuse me, my lud, did
I hear you say as how you had no more
money? My lud, this ere is the bank;
([Hunting to the bank;) if your Lor ship
wishes it, £1,000 or £2,000 is quite at
your Lorship’s service.’ ‘Really, Mr.
Crockford, you are very obliging; b«t I
shall not play any more to night.’ ‘Ash-
grove,’ said Count Whiskero, ‘Ashgrove,
do accept Mr. Crockford’s liberal offer of
£2,000; perhaps you may win back all
you have lost.’ ‘Nothing, 1 assure 3'our
lordship, will give me greater pleasure,
than to give the money,’said Crockford.
‘Well, let me have £2,000.’ Crockford
dipped his fingers into the hank, took out
£2,000, and handed it to his Lordship.
‘Perhaps j our ludship will oblige me with
an I O U, and pay the amount at your con
venience.’ ‘1 shall lie able to pay you in
a couple of months,’ said his lordship,
handing the ex-fishmonger the I O U.
‘Your ludship is worry kind—worry.’
Lord Ashgrove resumed the game; in an
hour and a half he was again pennyless.”
Unhappy Disclosure.—A lew evenings
since, two young men stepped into an oys
ter cellar and called for refreshments.
After they had been supplied, the person
in attendance sat down in the adjoining
box, waiting their further commands.
Whilst there, he overheard ajplanto com
mit a forgery thd lollowing morning. He
learned tlio name of the bank, bnt not that
of the person whose funds were to be ab
stracted. In the morning, shortly after
nine o’clock, he repaired to the bank, and
apprised the paying teller of what he bad
heard. Several checks had already been
paid. The teller turned over those on
tile, and at length hit upon one of doubt
ful character. After a rigid scrutiny, he
f ronounced it spurious. The teller, and
i3 informant, repaired instantly to the
oyster cellar, where the plan had been
concerted. On entering, the teller walked
up to a young gentleman, whom he recog
nized as the person who had presented
the check, and observed, “the check I
paid you this mornit?" is a forgery.” The
culprit conscience smitten, confessed his
offence, and refunded the mon?v, on con
dition that his name should be concealed.
The affair having readied the cars of
the merchant whose name had been used,
he insisted on knowing the name of the
offender, that he might be brought to con
dign punishment. The teller refused—
the merchant insisted, and at length grew
furious—abused the teller—threatened to
expose him, &c. The teller, finding it
impossible to appease him invited him
into a private room. The urgency of the
merchant here revived, and, in reply to
a peremptory demand for the name of the
criminal, he was quietly informed that it
was his own son. He left the Bank,
thoroughly satisfied that exposure and pu
nishment are not always most conducive
to reformation.—Pa. Sentinel.
Noble Gift.—William P. Molet, of Dal
las county, Alabama, a gentleman- of great
fortune, has proposed to give thirty thou
sand dollars, for the promotion of educa
tion, provided an Academy shall he erec
ted at Warrenton, in Dallas county, wor
thy of such an endowment. He also gives
five acres of land, and 9500, lor the loca
tion and erection in part of the buildings.
The above donation of $30,000, is to be
divided into two funds—$5,000 to be cal
led the Orphans’ Fund; the interest of
which is to be paid for the education of
“fatherless and destitute children:”—
$25,000, to be called the General Fund,
the interest of which, alter the death of
the donor, and of his son, John W. Molet,
is to be applied to the interest of the Aca
demy. This magnificent and praisewor
thy donation will be made permanent, if
a sufficient amount is subscribed, in two
years, by the citizens of the adjacent comi
ties, to erect the necessary edifices of the
Academy. Certainly tho amount will be
subscribed, and the donation secured. If
so, the Academy should be called “ The
Molet Institute.”—Flag of the Union.
Elegant Highland Epitaph.—There Is
something singularly beautiful and affect-
ting in the follewingepitaph, which a news
paper represents as translated from one
^in Gaelic probably) in the parish church
of Glenorchj, in Argyleshire: “Lo, she
lies here in the dust, and her memory fills
me with grief; sileut is the tongue of me
lody, and tlie hand of elegance is now -at
rest. No more shall the poor give his
blessing, nor shall the naked he warmed
with the fleece of thy flock; the tear shalt
thou not wipe from the eye ofthe wretch
ed. Where now, O feeble, is thy wonted
help? No more, my fair, shall we meet
thee at the social hall; no more shall we
sit at thy hospitable board. Cone for
ever is the sound of mirth! tho kind, the
candid, the meek is no more. Who can

Cookery.—Of all the arts upon which the phy
sical well-being of man, in his social state, is de
pendent, none has been moro neglected than that
of cookery, though none is more important, for it
supplies ilie very fountains of life. Tho prepa
ration of human food, so as to mnko it at once
wholesome, nutritive, and agreeable to the palate,
has hitherto been beset by imaginary dilliCuliies
and strong prejudices. In the course of our il
lustrations ofthe culinary branch of domestic e-
conomv, it shall be our endeavour to overcome
the one and destroy the other; and it is in furtlier-
nnco of this our task that we offer the following
preliminary observations.
Many persons in those classes of society to
whose use, and for whose information our re
marks are especially intended, have always asso-
idea of great wealth with culinary
Others—and, wo conlsss, the most
numerous oortion—consider unwholesome, ns
well us expensive, every tiling that goes beyond
the categories of boiling, and roasting, nud the
gridiron. AH are wrong. Wholesome and even
lu\urious cookery is by no means incompatible
with limited pecuniary menns; whilst in roasted,
boiled, ond boiled meats, which constitute what
is termed the good wholesome faro, much that is
nutritive and agreable is often lost for want of
skill in preparing them. Food of every descrip
tion is wholesome and digestible in proportion as
it approaches nearer to tlie state termed chyme,
whetice the chyle or milky juice that afterwards
forms blood, is absorbed, and conveyed to the
heart. Now, nothing is further from this state
than raw meat and raw vegetables. Fire is
therefore necessary to soften them, and thereby
begin that elaboration which is consummated in
the stomach. This PREPARATORY pro
cess, which forms the cook’s art, is more or less
perfect in proportion as the aliment is softenid,
without losing any of its juices or flavour—tor
flavour is not only an agreeable but a necessary
accompaniment to wholesome food. Hence it
follows, that meat very much underdone, wheth
er roasted or boiled, is not so wholesome as meat
well done but retaining all its juices. And here
coincs the necessity for the cook’s skill, which is
so often at fuult even in these simple modes of
preparing human nourishment.
Before we proceed further wo may be allowed
to observe with regard to underdone meat, that
fulness and indigestion, attended with numerous
other complaints, needless here to enumerate,
are more or less the especial inflictions borne by
those who indulge in it, though such inflictions
are invariably attributed to olhor causes. Pork,
veal, and all yeung meats when not thoroughly
dressed are absolute poison to the human stom
ach; and if half-raw beef and muttoD are often
eaten with impunity, it must not be inferred that
they are wholesome in their seini-crude, state,
but only less unwholesome than tho former
meats. Vegetables also half-done, which they
arc sent to table among the middle and lower
clashes in this country, are productive of great
gastric derangement, otleti of a predisposition to
cholera.
Our object in these treatises is to giro a cheap,
wholesome, and palatable mode of cookery that
shall come within the reach of every class of ihs
community. A great variety of relishing, nu
tritive, and even elegant dishes, may be prepar.
ed from the most homely materials, which may
not only be rendered more nourishing, but be
made to go much further in a large family than
they usually do. The great secret of all cooke.
ry, except in roasting and broiling, is a judicious
use of butter, flour, and herbs, and the application
of a very slow fire—for good cooking requires
only gentle simering, but no boiling up, which
only renders the meat hard. Good roasting
can be acquired only by practice; and the per.
lection lies in dresssing the whole joint thorough
ly without drying up the juices of any part ofit.
This is also the case with gridiron meat; whilst
a joint under process of boiling must be made to
simmer as gentle as if it were undergoing the op.
eration of the stew-pan.
With regard to made-dishes, ns the frequent
imitations of French cookery prevalent among
the middle classes in this country are termed, we
must admit thnt they are very unwholesome.—
AH the juices are boiled out of the moat, which
is swimming in a greasy heterogeneous com-
pound, disgusting to the sight, and seasoned so
strongly with spice and Cayenne pepper, that
it would inflame the stomach of an ostrich.-*
French cookury is uniformly mild in seasoning,
and free from grease; it is formed upon the a-
bove stated principle of reducing the aliment as
near to the state of chyme as possible, without
injury to its nutritive qualities, rendering it at
once easy of digestion and pleasant to (he taste.
Having now sufficiently explained the plan we
intend to pursue in our culinary information to
our readers, it only remains lor its la say, that
in each case offering any particular interest, wfe
shall ad2 to the recipe observations concerning
any wholesome or unwholesome properties pos
sessed by the particular food wc are describing.

EMILY DONF.LSON, tlie niece oflhe Pre

an obitsary notice of this excellent lady with-the
following paragraph, introdoceing an interesting
letter from tbo President recently written:
ThefoHowing interesting letter from the Pre
sident, which reached hereTa few days before
her departure, was oftfeu read by lier with deep
emotion, and dwelt upon with-feelings of grttlu
tade for the good news of his returning health
which it contained, as well as for tlie pious couti-
sets it afforded her.
It will bo seen that his letter is an answer to.
one from her, in which she fondly itoped ifee-
health was about to be restored: We select that
portion ofhis letter (which is nearly all ofit) de
signed for the immediate counsel and comfort of
his afflicted niece. His affectionate regards for
her four lovely children, now left motherless, al
so form a very interesting portion ofhis endear

23d, whilst I was confined to my bed by a se
vere hemorrhage from the lungs, which threat-
•nod a speedy end to my existence; but with
sincere thanks 1© a kind Providenco, who holds
our existence here in the hollow of hi*- hand, I
have so far recovered aa to be able to write you
this letter, to acknowledge th* receipt of yours,
and to offer up to Him who made us my most
sincere and hearty thank for his kindness to you,
in restoring you to health again, and with my
prayers for your perfect recovery, ond thnt you
may be long spared to superintend binging up
and educating of your dear childrens aHid be a
comfort to your dear husband, who wav a great
solicitude about you, and great anxiety to sjteo-
dilv return to you, but my sudJen attack has de
tained him.
“1 rejoice, my dear Emily, to find your spirit*
are good, and that you are able to take exercise
daily. This is necvwary to your perfect recov
ery, and I trust in a kind Providence, that fit
time, you will be completely re-torodito your
health. You are young, and witli care ami
good treatment, will out grow your disease, but
you must be careful not to take cold, this winter,
and as soon os Dr. Hunt’s prescription reaches
you, I would advise you topusue it. Thedigitali*,
1 fear, is toe exciting to the pulse.
The Doctor tells me l lost ftnralltc kings, and
by the lancet and cupping, upwards of COonnow*
of blood, which stopped the hemorrhage, with
out the aid of that potent, hut pernicious reme
dy to tho stomach, sugar of lead, la rn now
m tnding as fast as 1 could expect, and if I can
keep clear of taking cold this winter, I hops ti>
be spared, and be able to return to the Hermit
age in the spring, and again, have the pleasure of
seeing you and your dear children, to tvliwo pre
sent me affectionately.
My dear Emily—This chastisement of our
Maker we ought to receive us a rebuke from
him, nnd thank him for the mildness oi it—whielx
was to bring to our view, and that it may be al
ways before us, that we nro mere tenants at will
here. And we ought to live daily, so as to bn
prepared to die, for we knew not when we nwy
be called liotno. Then let us receive our chas
tisement as blessings from our God, let us so live
that we can say with the sacred Poet:
41 What though the Father's rod
Drop a (‘h&itirfing stroke.
Yet. lest it wound llieir *oul loo deep,
It* fury .shall be broke.
“Deal genily, Lord, with tho*®
Whose tkith and pious fear.
Whose hop : and l<*v#, and every grave.
Proclaim their hear: *ineere/‘
“I mmt close with my blessings to ynu anil
the children. May God bless you all, Emily,
farewell.
“Affectionately, ANDREW JACK3QN.”
Truly Sublime.—How beautiful and exalted
are the following sentiments of De Witt Clinton:
‘•Pleasure is a shadow; wealth is vanity, and
power is a pageant; but knowledge is e.\tatic in
enjoyment—perennial in fame—unlimited in
spice, and infinite in duration. In the perform
ance of ils sacreJ offices, it fours no danger-
spares no expense—omits no exertion. It scales
the mountain—looks in the volcano-—Jives into
the ocean—enricht a the globe—explores sen and
land—contemplates the distant—examines tilts
minute—comprehends the great ascends to tho
sublime—no place is too remoto for its grasp—
no heavens too oxhalted for its reach.”
Navigation of Balloons.—A Mr. Bad tie-
lev of Engl tnd, has contrived a balloon
which he says all who have seen it Hgreo
in affirming, may be guided through the
air with as much facility as bouts at pre
sent on the water, and,which may lie
varied upward or downward, without
altering tlie gas or ballast.
The deepest mine in Great Britain is
that at Monkwearmouth, 1*584 feet below
the surface. Professor Phillips of York,
who descended into it ascertained that die
temperature increased in proportion to the
depth, confirming the prevailing theory
that the centre of the earth is a mass of li
quid fire. ’
The steam whistle.—Mention has beon
made, several times lately, ofthe new con
trivance forgiving the alarm to the people
who cannot be trusted to their own eye*
and caution, in the vicinity of rail roads.
Its effects are thus described in one of our
papers:
“The locomotive ha3 one contrivance
of a most peculiar charatter. It carries a
brass whistle, which is blown by the
steam, whenever any animals come upon
the track or a cross road is passed. No
words can describe the shrill, wild and
unearthly sound produced by this arrange
ment. In going through the woods, the
noise is peculiarly startling, and it can be
heard for miles.”
Useful Invention.—The new machine in
Great Britain, for planing rough masses of
rock as if they were pieces of timber, bv
steam, is exhibited in London. It is
complex, but perfect in its construction,
and works beautifully. The following is
a description.
“The moving part of* the Model does
not exceed one hundred weight; but of tlie
machine itself, which is in use lit the quar
ries near Arbroath, the Moving part
weighs two tons, and ninv bfe compared
to a vast hand plane,- 21 feet in length,
traversing beds of stone* with as much
ease, apparently, as tlie tool in the gra?p
ofthe hands of a carpenter. During the-
last summer there were at the Leysmill’s
quarries six of these machines at work,
which planed upwards of 170,000 feet ot*
pavement: and the whole number of the
machines were propelled by one steam en
gine of six horse power; which besides
worked two inclined planes, np one of
which the stones are dragged from the
qiinriy to the machine. Where stone is
plenty, and not exceedingly valuable, the
invention must be of great aid vantage to the
proprietor* of quarries.”
