An old man still lives in Sheffield
who remembers when the news of Bunker
Hill reached the town, and tells the follow
ing story :
“Tho rumor of the glorious fight spread
liko wild-fire among the scattered farm bous
es. The men nnd boys, without n known
exception, met in the streets the same even
ing and erected a liberty pole. That very
night it was cut down Suspicion fastened
upon one of tho principal and proudest men
in the town, who was known to hold Tory
sentiments. The indignant people re-assem
bled, erected a new pole, seized upon the
suspected man, made him confess his treason
and his accomplice, anointed his forehead
with tar, and crowned him with feathers,
and then, having formed a double line, com
pelled him to pass between the files and ask
ili turn tho pardon of every man and boy in
town. The humbler individual, who had
been hired to fell the liberty polo, was then
mounted bnre-bneked upon a raw-boned
horse, and sq parnded through the vilage,
'stopping in front of every house to entreat
forgiveness for his share in the offence.”
The reciter of this, distinctly recollects
when the Tory asked his pardon, being then
a boy of nine years.
Out Of.—A writer in the New Haven
Chronicle says the words out of, are the
worst in the language, when one is out of
patience and out of money. He says his
wife tells him she is out of sugnr one day;
out of coffee the next; out of tea the next;
out of flour the next ; nnd finally out of
spirits. The words we think are very good
words, and docidedly the best in the lan
guage, when one is out of debt; out of trou
ble, nnd out of Jail. If a man has a smokey
house and .a scolding wife, out of doors is no
bad place.

On a calm summer morning a peacock stood
spreading his feathers in tho sun. Near
him n lake lay slooping-in: motionless trans
parency. He walked towards it with con
scious pride, and bending himself over the
brink, sometimes gazed at his gorgeous
plumage in the mirror, and sometimes turned
back his eyes, to oxamine the play of green
nnd gold upon his back. The simplo inhab
itants of a neighbouring farm-yard stood oil
at a respectful distance, awe-struck with his
grandeur. The hens cackled to each other;
the geese huddled together, poked out their
long necks, and hissed; and even chanticleer,
although generally on capital terms with
himself, rather lowered his crest, and lifted
his yellow (eet with less of lordly majesty as
he marched among his companions, who no
longer p'aid him there accustomed attentibn.
At this oxtorted acknowledgement of his
superior splendour, heavens I how the pear-
cock swelled!
“Certainly,” said he, “I am without an
equal. Hqw mean these poor wretched
creatures appear by iny side. How mag
nificently beautiful I am. What golden
tinges chase each other across my feathers
How superbly my tail reflects the light. It
is full of eyes which absolutely rival the sun
himself. When! look around, what is there
to compare with me ?”
A rose, which was blooming near, over-
heard this arrogant soliloquy, and addressed
him :
“Pray, Mr. Peacock, do not be offended,
but I think I can show you a bird, not only
your equal, but so far your, superior, that
before man would allow one of the race to
be destroyed, he would behold you nnd all
your vain flaunting relations exterminated.’’
“I always thought, madam Rose,” replied
the peacock, “that you were a decent sort of
person, and had one or two tolerable colours
in you—that is, for a mere rose ; but I can
not giye you credit for much wisdom. And
so sure am I of being considered of more
value than any which you can possibly bring,
that I fearlessly challenge you and all the
world to produce my rival.”
“This afternoon,” said the rose, “and be
fore the assembled creatures of the earth and
air; they shall pronounce upon your respec
tive merits.”
“I will come nn hour before sunset,” re
plied the peacock, spreading his superb tail
and tossing his bead aflectediy. “I appear to
more advantage, the greater the light; good
morning, madam Rose. What a fool is this
ridiculous red flower,” ho continued in a low
er voice, as he strutted away, “and so con
ceited, too. Bah! how I hate conceited
people 1”
The hour for trial is come. The setting
sun filled the woods with golden light;
lengthened shadows lay on the soft green
meadows. The beo hummed lazily along
the drooping flowers, ns if tiled of their day’s
wanderings the crows went winging their
way over the tree lops to their nests ; the
fish hawk had made ids last plunge in the
lake, nnd was bearing his prey toward the
high dry tree—every thing told of the closing
day.
Tho peacock spread his tai^ nnd entered
the arena where ho was to await tho expec
ted rival. He found nil tho beasts, poultry,
etc., of the neighbourhood assembled. Tho
geesq enme in singlo tile, headocl by n jingo
old fellow, a kind of philosopher, who led
the procession with grave dignity. The
bens brought their dear little chickens, with
their wee bit voices; the duck waddled to
their places, and quacked “how do you do r”
to their neighbours, the geese. The horses,
who had been let loose in the adjoining
field, cantered up, tossing their he ids in nir,
kicking out their heels, and neighing cheer
fully to their friends and fellow-citizens.
The ass shook his ears With much self-com
placency, nnd trotted alter. An old black
sheep sprang over a fence, and was immedi
ately followed by about a hundred others,
who leaped over in the same place. Tho
cows walked out of the pond and took their
stations, lashing themselves with their tails,
and chewed the cud; no animal like your
cow for gravity and patience. A great filthy
hog, whd had been wallowing in the mire,
came in grunting, and thrusting himself into
company where he was not wanted: but he
got a good seat, because cveybody feared to
come in contact with him. The swallows
skimmed down from their nests under the
eaves of the barn, and seated themselves in a
row on tho rail fence. The turkeys camo in
lute, grumbling nnd gobbling. They thought
tho whole concern rather ridiculous—they
were as good as the peacock, any day
“some people make such i fuss about no
thing.” A beautiful robin came hopping
along, and flew up into a branch of the
cherry-tree, with a sweet and plaintive cry ;
whilo a fierce little bantam rooster pushed
his way in among the horses, squared ofl to
a turkey seven times as largo as himsolf, and
at length reached an excellent place, where
he sat with the nir of one who thinks him
self as good as most people.
When thq company were seated, the rose,
who bad called the meeting, m a brief and
graceful address, explained the wagor which
had been laid betw veil the peacock and her
self.
“My friend sairl the peacock, in a scream
ing, discordant voice, which made the robin
flutter to a more distant seat, “1 am nenrly
overcome with diffidence at appearing thus
‘“‘“liilic. Nothing but duty and self-rc-
mld have driven mo to such an ex
hut ns the representative of a large
jciety, I feo! bound to assert our
mr attention. Look nt me, my

fore you a bird more valuable than myself.
I appeal to my person, and challenge com
petition.”
The peacock then walked around in a cir
cle.
“What a stately gait!” said tho goose.
“And what a sweet voice said tho ass.
“i shall now produce your rival, Master
Peacock,” said the rose, in a sweet voice,
nnd with something of a deepor shndo of
crimson passing over hor soft face. She
nodded her head, and a strange bird, who bad
not before been at all observed among tho
crowd, stepped forth, nnd stood in silence
by the rose-bush. His plain appearance ex
cited so|ne whispering—there was a good'
deal'bf cackling and simpering among the
old hens, at the idea of such a small, insig
nificant-looking creature daring to present
himself on such nn occasion. The most in
fluential goose gave a downright hiss, where
upon all the other geese stretched out their
sngacious heads ana hissed also ; while the
guinea-heu uttered a peevish, discontented
cry. Nothing, however, could exceed the
irrepressible mirth of the rooster, who gave
a right hearty crow of derision, unless it wns
the wise demeanour of ass, who first looked
down contemptuously on tho little aspirant,
then laughed aloud, mid concluded by nod-
ding Liu hoad and lung ours to his neigh
bours, and winking his left eyo with a know
ing look, ns much os to say, “stnnd by, now
nnd we shall have some fun ”
After (be peacock had remained silent for
a moment, swelling and strutting, and exhi
biting himself to his admirers, like a militia
colonel on parade, be asked the rose, with a
sneer, if she intended to “ insult the nudi-
once by such a miserable jest ?”
The rose was going to reply, when the ass,
who always puts himsolf forward on these
occasions, and attempts to lead the rest of
the meeting, rose and made a short address.,
“ My friends,” he said, “ I can no longor
suppress my feelings of indignation at the in
sult oflored to the excellent, tenderhearted
and nminhlo peacock, by this brnzen-faeed
rose. Lot me ask you, gentlemen, who and
what is this rose ? What has she done ?
What use is she of ? Whoover heard her
voice in the wood, ns mine is heard, nnd the
peacock’s, animating nature, and soothing ail
that have ears to hoar, and hearts to feel ?
The rose is a stupid and senseless flower, so
conscious of her own insignificance, that she
dares notshow herself in the pathway where
we tread. Look at the blush of shame which
even now rises to her cheeks—look nt hor
feehloness, her uselessness, her idleness ; for
my part, 1 always haled her, and preferred
the noble sunflower, which lifts its yellow
head in yonder field. Now, let me nsk the
rose how she dure collect us (whose time is
important) togotlier, for the purposo of judg
ing between .tho merits of yon small, paltry
brown bird, that ivc should never think of
looking at twice, and this gay and splendid
creature, which is the admiration of myself
mid all other cognoscenti, indeed, of the
known world.”
“ I must remind the learned gentlemen,”
said the rorona^n low hut touching tone,
“ that tlu^^^Bhcr moans of gaining fame

" thnt of the nlglitifigalo, 1 willin S tu
Allow; but dress dues i,Ot make the man.—
The nigluingule rests ilis hope of your ap
probation upon higher'.qualitics. Nature has
given him a most extraordinary power of
touching the soul; and, I think, this must rank
him higher in the scale of creation than the
peacock.”
“ Oh, ho !’’ said the ass, “ you mean his
singing. I have bcon often disturbed by his
voice in the night, although I never before
had tho honor of seeing the vocalist. What!”
he continued, “ this is tho fellow, is it, thnt
keeps us uwnko ? Well, hark ye, my little
chap,give us a touch of your quality; and be
short, do you hear ? for our time is precious,
ana important to the commonwealth.”
The nightingale was about to commcnco,
when tho peacock broke in :
“ 1 also,” said he, “ have cultivated my
voice, nnd aspire to some skill in melody”
Right,” said the ass, “ and the nightin
gale is nothing to you ”
The little bumtam, who had perched upon
the top of an old chestnut rail, came out with
a sudden laugh, and slapped his sides with
his wings, at this assertion; but the ass, re
garding him with a grave, rebuking expres
sion said :
“ I would have you to know, sir, that if
there is any thing on which I really pique
myself, it is being a correct judge of music,
In that I’ll yield to nobody. Rut hush ! that
divine creature is going to sing.”.
The peacock favored them with ft song,
than which nothing could be more harsh,
discordant, und altogether execrable.
Very fine-—delicious !” said the ass, nod
ding his head; “ now, let the nightingale heat
.that if he.con,” ' • j
An old lien, who had been scratching gra
vel at a little distance, declared ‘.lint she
“ never know wliat music was before.”
Ail innocent little lamb, who loved the
nightingale, cried “ hah !” hut the ass pricked
up his ears and shouted, “ turn him out !’’
in sucli a stentorian voice, that the poor
young tiling was frightened half to death.
“ Order, order,” said the cow.
Order being obtained, a gdsh of melody
hurst from the throat of/the nightingale,
which instantly hushed every other sound
Sometimes it melted iutti plaintive sweet

Lieut, Lynch of tho United States Ex
ploring expedition to tho river Jourdan and
the Dond Sen in 1849, visited tho garden of
Gotlisemane about tho middle of May. He
says:—
“The clover upon thoground wns in bloom,
nnd altogether, 'he garden, in ifs aspect and
associations, wns hotter calculated than any
place I know to sooth a troubled spirit. Eight
venerable trees, isolated from thostnalier and
less imposing ones which skirt (lie pass of
the Mount of Olives, form a consecrated
grove. High above, cn either hand, towers
a lofty mountain, with a deop yawning chasm
of Jolioslinphut between them. Crowning
ono of them ns Jerusalem, n living city ; on
the slope of the other is tho groat Jewish
cemetry, a city of tho dead. Each tree in
this grove, ennkored and gnarled and furrow
ed by age, nnd yet beautiful and impressive
in its decay, is n living monument of the nf-
fccting scenes that have taken place beneath
and around it. The olive perpetuates itself,
and from the root of tho dying pnront stem,
the young treo springs into omstonco. f These
nre accounted one thousand years old.' Un
der those of the preceding’growth, therefore,
the Saviour was wont to rest; nnd one of tho
present may. mark tho very spot whore he
knelt and prayed and wept; No caviling
doubt can find entrance hero. Tho geograph
ical boundaries are loo distinct and clear for
nn instant’s liositntion. Hero the Christian,
forgetful of the present, and absorbed in the
past can resign himsolf to snd yet soothing
meditation. The few purple nnd crimson
flowers, growing about tho roots of the treos,
will give him nmplo food for contemplation ;
for they toll of tho suffering and ensauguined
death of the Redeemer.”
The ; Partino of Life.—A correspondent
eff the New York Evening Post says :
“There are not many more beautiful lines
in the English language, there are certainly
none so beautiful in tho writings of tho au
thor, ns thoso of Mrs. Bnrbnuld, which tho
poet Rogers is fond of repeating to his friends,
in his lino, deliberate manner, with just
enough of treinulousnoss in that grave voice
of his, to give his recitation the effect of deep
“ Life 1 we’ve been loan toj-other,
Through pleasant and ilirauith cloudy weather,
’Tialmrdto part when frii-mls ure deur,
lVrlmps ’twill cost u einxlu tear,
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time,
Say nut gntul night, bui-ln amua happier clime.
Hid ine good morning.
“It makes the thought of Death cheerful
to represent it thus, as life looking in upon
you with glad greeting, amidst fresh airs
nnd glorious light. The lines, I infer, were
written by Mrs. Barbnuld in her late old age,
and I do not wonder that the aged poet, who
some years sinoe entered on the fifth score
of his years should find them haunting his
memory.”
A Point of Anxious Enquiry,
Not a littlo anxiety lias been manifested to
know wlint is “tho (lag of Mississippi,”
about which Governor Quitman tried bo hard
to rant the other day. and which ho promis
ed should never ho dishonored in Ilia hands.
\Yo all know wlmt the flag of the Union is-
“Wlio-e stars lmve lit the welkin dome,
Ar.d all whose hues were born in Heuven.”
We can fancy loo the Banner of Disunion,
waving over a field wet with brothers bloodl-
“lllnc!; as night, tierce as ten furies,
Teriiblo as Hell,”
emitting not a single ray of light, to cl;eer
tho gloom !
But wliul is tho (lug of Mississippi? The
Govertioi- talked of it as if it wero now with
in his grasp, if so, let us have a descrip
tion. But if It is something that is not yet
it, being, modesty should dictate some slight
delay oil tho part of the Governor. Por-
hnps the pooplo might prefor that flag to ho
carried by other hands. His own political
friends, two years sinco, preferred IVm. O,
Butler lobe a standard hearer for tho Uni
ted States over John A. Quitman, arid they
unquestionably acted wisely 1 Perhaps the
people might do the same as regards the
“flag of Mississippi.” But what is the flu;

gressional District of New York. His dis

The prompt and decided stand which Mr

the crnuluilic approval of his course which

To the Ladies.—A curious fact is thus
told in one of our exchange papers : “Take a
string that will reach twice around ll-c neck
of a young lady—let nor hold the ends in
her teeth, and then if the noose will slip
over hor head to Hie back of her neck, it is
n certain indication that slio is mnrried, or

JuitUo liei'i'ien’a lt|ieac!i,
We wore not at tlio Court house on Thurs
day evening last, but learn from thoso who
wcro.present, trial Judgo Berrien throw any
quantity of wfl blanf-etsovcr the l-'ire Eaters.
In the first part of his speech, he repeated
some of his well known fallacies in regard
to the admission ofCnlifornia. His remarks
wore of course most rapturously applauded.
When became to speak of the Texan Boun
dary Bill nnd Eugitivo -Slave Bill, the enthusi
asm somewhat subsided; hut when lie touch
ed upon the remedies—and declared liimsctt
opposed to disunion, secession, or non-intcr-
coorse, the catastrophe seemed to be com
plete, and the consternation of the fire-eaters^
boyond description. Judge Berrien told,
them that disunion wns no remedyatall;-
that it was 1/ie worst of all evils, lie said
that aoeosaion wns synonymous with disunion,,
and non-intercourse was unconstitutional.
The only course left for the South then, to-
f iursuc, was to foster and cherish her own
ndustry, and to develope her own resources.
1 his could he done in various ways. Texas
could ho levied upon Northern manufactures^
Northern importations, and the products
of Northern industry in such a way, os tor
virtually exclude them from Southern mar
kets. This he thought might be adopted aa
a romedy with success.
'Tlio speech os lor as we have been abla
te ascertain its correct import, from Ilia con
flicting statements of tiiose present, was calia
und dispassionate, but. nuv Mich us to givo
great satisfaction to any party. Indeed the
orator distinctly stated that there were tliraa
parties in tho State, and from what we aa
learn, his great etlhrt was to vindicate hia
own conduct dining the last session of Con
gress, and to croct u platform for a Berrien
party in Georgia.
A wag, who listened with groat patience-
to the speech, remarked that the Honorable
Senator reminded him of an adroit equestrian
performing upon three horses in the circua.
lie was first upon one horse, then upon
another, then apparently upon all three, and
finally down among the tato dust! We
hnvo no doubt the Judge will ultimately dia-
cover that there is “more truth than poetry’ 1
in tho comparison.
Wo nroglad to hear that he is no disunion-
ist; nnd yet if he is really convinced »s he
laboured to convince others, that the “South
lm9 suffered wrongs; serious, grievioua
wrongs,” we think that he arrives at “a lame
and impotent conclusion” in regard to hia
remedy—For ourselves, if we could believe
that tho admission of Califoniu was a viola
tion of the constitution, ns he argued it to be,
we would join the “coffin parly” instanter.
It is becuuso we do not behove these thing*,
that we are ntiil rosolv.ed to stnnd by the old
flag stall' from whose summit floats the
“stars and stripes.”—Jour. If Mcs.
Another Anecdote.—It gives us pleas
ure to stale anothor anecdote about the
President, for which we vouch, us we had
it Irotn two gentlemen from the West, with
whom tho President had just been h con
versation yesterday morning. They ware
applying to him lor the appointment of •
gentleman as attorney for the United Staten
in ono of the western States. After discus
sing tho qualification of the cundidate, Mr.
FilTmoro lomarkod that thcro was another
thing which ha deemed■ indispensable. He
said ho was determined to execute faith
fully tho fugitive-slave law, and would ap
point no man to oifico, who might be called
upon to assist in tho administration of that
law who would not zealously co-operate ie
