THE OLD CHURCH IN ALEXAN
DRIA.
hi which is preserved still unmodified the pew
where Washington worshipped on the Sabbath.
BY HARRIET FARLEY.
Here hath he been—here hath his footsteps trod;
Here hath his soul in prayer and praise ascen
ded ;
Ay, o'er this green, he's sought the house of God :
And with the humble his devotions blended.
Here hath he come —when faint, depressed and
weary,
His spirit at this altar sought for strength ;
When Hope was dumb, and all abroad looked
dreary,
Here hath he renovation found at length.
Here hath ho turned, from each triumphal
marching,
To bend his kneo, to hare his noble brow ;
To this ho yearned, though there was overarch
ing
His country’s sky, a temple dome, as now.
Here hath he knelt; here owned his own subjec
tion
To one more mignty, one above his King ;
Here hath he felt the humble soul’s dejection,
And hero new plumed the spirit's drooping
wing.
This hath he traced: through that low vestibule,
Week after week, lie found his reverent way ;
That seat ho graced—there learned his noblest
rule,
O’er his own heart to hold supremest sway.
Great Washington ! our coutry’s pride and boast;
Still loved and revered ns in days of yore ;
A brightening sun, to which a mighty host
In other lands, now gaze, and strive to soar.
And nearer still, viewed almost from that, spire,
Is living one, his country’s late united choice,
Whose wish and will, whose sole expressed de
sire,
Is to be echo true of that long silent voice.
O, grant that prayer! the mantle bo upon him,
Which, to heaven transferred, the Elisha may
not need;
Make him Thy care! with holy cinctures crown
him,
Then shall our country he most safe and bless
ed indeed! Boston Bee.
GOOD NIGHT, LOVE.
BY MRS. FANNY KEMBLE BUTLER.
Good night, love!
May Heaven's bright stars watch o'er thee !
Good angels spread their wings and cover thee!
And through the night
So dark and still,
Spirits of light
Charm thee from ill!
My heart is hovering round thy dwelling-place;
Good night, dear love ! God bless thee with His
grace !
Good night, love!
TVt lullabies the night-wind sings to thee!
And on its wings sweet odors brings to thoo !
And in thy dreaming,
May all things dear,
With gentle seeming,
Come smiling near!
My knees are bowed, my hands are clasped in
prayer!
Goodnight, dear love! God kceep thee in his
care!

CURRAN’S INGENUITY.
A farmer attending a fair with a hun
dred pounds in his pocket, took the pre
caution of depositing it in the hands of the
landlord of the public house at which he
stopped. Having occasion for it shortly
afterwards, he resorted to mine host the
bailment, but the landlord, too deep for the
countryman, wondered what hundred was
meant; and was quite sure no such sum
had ever been lodged in his hand by the
astonished rustic. After ineffectual ap
peals to the recollection, and finally to the
honor of Bordolph, the fanner applied to
Curran for advice.
“Have patience my friend,” said the
counsel, “speak to the landlord privately,
and say you are convinced you must have
left your money with some other person.
Take a friend with you, and lodge with
him another hundred in the presence of
your friend, and come to me ”
We must imagine and not commit to pa
per, the vociferations of the ljoncst dupe,
at such advice; however, moved by the
rhetoric or authority of the worthy counsel,
he followed it and returned to his legal
friend.
“ And now sir, I don’t see as I am to he
any better for this, if I get my second hun
dred again. But how is that to be done? - ’
“Go ask him for it when he is alone,”
said Curran.
“Ah, sir, but asking won't do. Ize
afraid, without my witness at any rate,”
sail the countryman.
“Never mind, take my advice,” said the
counsel; “do as I bid you, and return to
me.”
The farmer returned with his hundred
glad at any rate, to find that safe again in
his possession.
“Now’, sir, 1 suppose I must be content,
but 1 don’t see ns f am much better off.”
“Well, then, said the counsel, now take
your friend with you and ask the landlord
for the hundred pounds your friend saw
you leave with him.”
We need not add that the wily landlord
found he had been taken off his guard,
while our honest friend returned to thank
his counsel, with both hundreds in his
pocket. #
THE MOXETA.
A traveller who visited Spain in the year
1760, in describing Vistabula, says;—Here
are also vast forests, and in these forests
there is a species of birds that live by ra
pine, which the natives call Moxetas.
They are less than the hawk and not un
like them, except in a certain black ring
about their necks. In the months of July
and August they join the sportsmen and
help them catch quails and other birds,
which being sprung by the spaniels, the
sportsmen immediately cry out, “ Help,
Moxetas ! help, help, Moxetas !” and they,
as soon as they hear themselves called,
dart directly from the woods, olten seven
or eight in number, and fly with such ra
pidity at the game, that the poor little birds
are so terrified that they drop down and
suffer themselves to be seized by the dogs,
or taken up by the sportsmen, seeming to
prefer any fate than to fall into the clutch
es of their cruel pursuers. When the
sportsman have taken as many birds as
they think proper, and the pursuit is at an
end, the Moxetas, their allies and assistants,
hover about the company for their shareof
the prey: upon which one of the men tos
cs up a bird as high as he is able, which be
ing caught by one of the Moxetas, he re
turns to the wood completely satisfied.
The remainder are treated in the same
manner, and they are always ready to ten
der their assistance to the sportsmen.
THE CORD THAT HUNG TAW ELL.
The following thrilling passage upon the
power of the Magnetic Telegraph, is from
anew work by Sir Francis Head. After
picturing Tawell, who had just committed
a murder, seated in the railroad car for
London, he says:
“What may have been his fears, his
hopes, his fancies, or his thoughts, there
suddenly flashed along the wires of the
electric telegraph, which were stretched
close beside him, the following words: ‘A
murder has just been committed at Salthill,
and the suspected murderer was seen to
take first-class ticket for London by the
train which left Slough at 7h. 42m. P. M.
He is in the garb of a Quaker, with a
brown great-coat on, which reaches near
ly down to his feet. He is in the last
compartment of the second first-class car
riage.’ And yet, fast as these words flew
like lightning past him, the information
they contained, with all its details, as well
as every secret thought that had precccded
them, had already consecutively flown mil
lions of times faster; indeed at the very in
stant that, within the walls of the little
cottage at at Slough, there had been ut
tered that dreadful scream, it had simulta
neously reached the judgement-seat of
Heaven ! On arriving at the Paddington
station, after mingling tor some moments
with the crowd, he got into an omnibus,
and as it rumbled along, taking up one
passenger and putting down another, he
probably felt that his idenity was every
minute becoming confounded and confused
by the exchange of fellow-passengers for
strangers that was constantly taking place.
But all the time he was thinking, the cad
of the omnibus —a policeman in disguise—
knew that he held his victim like a rat in
a cage. Without however, apparently ta
king the slightest notice notice of him, he
took one sixpence, gave change for a shil
ling, handed out this lady, stuffed in that
one, until, arriving at the Bank, the guilty
man, stoopped as he walked towards the
carriage door, descended the steps; —paid
his fare; —crossed over to the Duke of’
Wellington’s statue, where pausing for a
few moments anxiously to gaxe around
him, he proceeded to the Jerusalem cof
fee house, thence over London Bridge to
the Leopard coffee house in the borough, I
and finally to a lodging-house in Scott's
yard, Cannon Street. He probably fancied
that, by making so mauy turns and doub- ‘
les, he had not only effectually puzzled all I
pursuit, but that his appearnce at so many j
coffee houses would assist him, if necessa-;
ry, in proving an alibi; but whatever may |
have teen his motives or his thoughts, he
had scarcely entered the lodging when the |
policeman—who, like a wolf, had fo'low
ed him every step of the way—openning
his door, very calmly said to him—the j
words no doubt were infinitely more ap
palling to him even than the scream that
had been haunting him. ‘Hav’ntyou just j
come from Slough V The monosyllable
‘No,’ confusedly uttered in reply, substan
tiated his guilt. The policeman made him j
his prisoner; he was thrown into jail, tried, j
found guilty of wilful murder, and—hang- j
cd. A few months afterwards, we happen
ed to be traveling by rail from Paddington !
to Slough, in carriage filled with people |
all strangers to one another. Like En- !
glish travellers, they were all mute. For
nearly fifteen minutes no one had uttered
a single word, until a short-bodied, short- j
necked, short-nosed, exceeding respectable
looking man in the corner, fixing his eyes I
on the apparently fleeting posts and rails
of the electric telegraph, significantly nod- j
ded to us as he muttered aloud : ‘Them's
the cords that hung John Tawell.”

On the death of Mctullus, C®sar obtained
the office of high priest, although two pow
erful men were his competitors. On the
day of election, seeing his mother in tears,
he embraced her and said: “ To-day you
will see me high priest, or an exile.”
At a poor village in the Alps, some of
his friends asked if, in that miserable place,

Marquis Bievre was celebrated for his
wit, which he frequently displayed in rep
artees and puns. When presented to Lou

Louis: Give me a specimen of your wit.
Bievre: Give me a subject. Louis: Take
me. Bievre : Sire, the King is no Subject.
Now had the night her drowsy pinions spread :
The winds were bush'd ; the weary waves were
dead;
The fish repos'd in seas and crystal floods ;
The beasts retir'd in covert of the woods;
The painted birds in grateful sciences slept;
And oo’r the world a sweet oblivion crept.—Hoole.
That men of merit are so seldom reward
ed, arises from the judgement of the world
being so whimsical and injudicious, and
their favors so capriciously, absurdly and
most unjustly bestowed, as we may see ev
ery day ; so that if a man will fret at such
things, he hath nothing to do but fret on,
till death puts an end to his foolish sorrows.

The Soul, of origin divine,

however imperfectly, upon a great man,
without gaining something by him. He is

lamp only, but as a natural luminary shi

A CLASSICAL REBUKE.
One evening a short time since Professor
Wines advertised a gratuitous lecture at
Newark, on the Theory of the Government..
At the hour of commencement, the audi
ence being very small, the Professor ad
ministered the following neat, classical,
and pungent rebuke.
“ Plato when delivering lectures in Ath
ens, sometimes had Aristotle, for his only
hearer; on which occasion he was accus
tomed to proceed with his lecture as usual,
remarking that when he had Aristotle for
his only hearer, he had the better half of
Athens. On the same principle, I may
congratulate myself on my audience this
evening.”
It is a fact, that many of the best stan
dard productions, were delivered to almost
empty halls. When Handel was alive ma
ny of his pieces were performed before
very thin audiences. On such occasions
the great musician used good hu.noredly to
observe “oh never mirml, the music will
sound all the better.”
HISTORICAL DETAILS.
In the history of each nation there are
some eminent Men, in whom the spirit of
| the nation seems to culminate—either be
i cause they are more the nation than the
nation itself, or because by their eminent
power they constrain the nation to take
1 the form o( these individuals; such men
| are to be distinctly studied and carefully
i portrayed; for while embodying the na
tion's genius they are an epitome of its his
’ tory. In a first survey, we know’ a nation
best by its great men, as a country by its
mountains and its plains, its waters and its
shores, —by its great characters. Still,
while these eminent men are to be put in
the foreground of the picture, the humblest
class is not to be neglected. In the fami
ly of Man there are elder and younger
brothers; it is a poor history which neg
lects either class. A few facts from the
every-day life of the merchant the slave,
the peasant, the mechanic, are often worth
more, as signs of the time, than a chapter
which relates the intrigues of a courtier
though these are not to be overlooked. It
is w’ell to know what songs he sung;
what prayers he prayed; what food he ate:
what tools he wrought with ; what tax he
paid; how he stood connected with the
soil; how he was brought to war, and
what weapons armed him for the fight.
It is not very important to know whether
General Breakpate commanded on the
right or the left; whether he charged up-
hill or downhill; whether he rode a bright
chestnut horse or a dapple gray, nor
whether he got dismounted by the break
ing of his saddle-girth or the stumbling of
his beast. But it is important to know
whether the soldiers were accoutred well
or ill, and wlrether they came voluntarily to
the war, and fought in battle with a will,
or were brought to the conflict against
their own consent, not much caring which
side was victorious. —Massachusetts Quar
terly Review.
Alexander Ramsay, the new Gov
ernor of Minesota, was, fifteen years ago,

studied law, subsequently became a mem
ber of Congress, and now is Governor of

THE CRY OF THE ARTISAN:
Up and down —up and down!
I have wandered through the town ;
Through the street, the field, the lane,
I have sought for work in vain—
I have sought from morning’s light
Till the stars shone forth at night
Sad returning, I have said,
“ Would to God that I were dead !”
Give me toil—give me toil!
To weave the wool or till the soil;
Give me leave to earn my bread,
I care not how, by spade or thread,
Give me work, ’tis all I ask,
No malter what may be my task ;
No matter what the labor set,
I have health and strength as yet.
To and fro—to and fro—
Still with weary limbs I go
One by one my hopes depart,
Not ajoy lives in my heart
While I struggle through each day,
There's no star to cheer my way;
While I wrestle with my chain,
Madness hovers round my brain.
God! can it be that mortal Man
Shall mar thy great and mighty plan 1
Thou has sent, with bounteous hand,
Enough for all throughout the land ;
Thou hast filled the earth with food,
Then pronounced thy work was “good.”
Thou who rcign'st supreme on high,
All unheeded shall wc cry ?
No: a sound is on the breeze,
And the words I hear are these
“ Give us labor—give us bread !”
And the fearful cry has sped
Over far-off lands away,
Lighting up a brighter day ;
For a nation’s voice hath said,
“ Who bears the yoke shall have the bread !”
PRINTING IN LONDON AND NEW
YORK.
A London correspondent of the Boston
Post thus presents a comparative view of
printing in New York and London :
The art of printing advances far more in
America than here. Liverpool nearly as
large as New York, has no printing done
by steam. In London, but one or two
printers of books, print by steam, and very
rarely print more than twelve pages of a
duodecimo book at a time. From an ex
tensive acquaintance with the manner and
speed of book printing in New York and
London, I will vouch for the fact that, of
all the books printed in the two cities, our
printers print three copies to the Londoners
one in the same time. First class publica
tions are generally better ‘got up’ in Eng
land than in America. But, got up equal
ly as well, the New Yorkers will print two
copies to their one.—Not one book in four
in London is stereotyped. In New York
three out of four. In London one pub
lisher lately boasted that he actually pub
lished a book in three days from the time
he received it. That is quoted as an ex
traordinary operation that was actually
accomplished, once. —In New York, the
Harpers have issued many a hook in from
twenty-four to thirty hours after its receipt.
But I will not multiply examples to show
the greater amount of enterprise or inven
tive genius in America.
THRIFT OF THE YANKEES.
j In perfect good humor, the Tuscaloosa
Monitor of the 14th ult., has given the fol
lowing pungent and inimitable sketch :
A mountain of granite appears rather a
tough subject to deal with, yet a Yankee
will burrow into its bowels, and lo! the
granite becomes gold in the vault of the
Commonwealth Bank in Boston. A pond
of ice presents a cheerless and chilly pros
pect to the eye, but the Yankee, nothing
daunted, will heave up its crystal masses,
and straightway the ice glitters in diamonds
upon the bosom of his rosy-cheekedspouse.
Wherever the Yankee layeth down his
hand, gold springeth. Into what soil soev
er he thrusteth his spade, gold spouteth
therefrom. In the dim twilight by his
! chimney corner, be sits meditating, and
thoughts chase one another through his
brain, which thoughts are gold. Various
they are, it may be in form and seeming,
j One is but a gridiron, anothet a baby jum
per, and a third a steam-engine, but he
writeth them all down in the patent office
at Washington ; and then putteth them in
his pocket in good golden eagles from the
mint at Philadelphia.
But your genuine Yankee coineth not
merely his own sagacious conceits; the fol
lies, the fears, and the errors of others, are j
moreover all gold to him. He fabricated ;
mermaids and sea-serpents, and locketh up
in his iron chest, heaps of golden credulity. 1 ’
He manufactureth a pill of chalk and wheat
bread, which he warranteth to cure asthma,
hydrocephalus, epilepsy and yellow fever,
and presently buildeth him a great house
on the banks of the Hudson. When a sud
den delirium seizes all the world, prompt
ing them to emigrate in floods nowhere, he
he quietly mustcreth his fleets of transport
for that destination, or buildeth a railroad
in that direction, regardless of what is at
the other end, and putteth the passage mon
ey in his pocket. He erecteth to himself no
castles in the air, but he diligently aideth
his neighbor to do the same, and out of the
proceeds grow up to him presently, castles
upon the earth. Such is the modern Mi
das—the Midas without long ears, the
cool, acute, sagacious, calculating Yan
kee.
Beauty. —Many of the fair sex, espec
ially in France, attribute immense impor
tance to the ar‘ of dress. We hold even
the sublimest secrets of costume but light
ly in comparison with the all powerful ef
fect of the thoughts, feelings, and passions
upon the features; or even that of the
health upon the complexion and form. A
good or happy thought ran lend a bright
ness to .the eye, a sweetness to the expres
sion, a healthy glow to the cheek, and an
elasticity to the limbs, which not all the
dyes of Araby or corsets of Paris can imi
tate. Nevertheless, to despise or neglect
the art of costume, or pass it over without
some notice, would be an unpardonable
omission.

VOICES OF THE NIGHT.
A FABLE.
BY JACQUES JOI’RNOT.
Old Hodge one night at Carlo’s bar !
Ilad got, in classic parlance, “ tight,”
When, as he homeward made his tracks,
He heard the “ Voices of the Night.”
As with a quite uncertain step,
Unto a mill-pond’s brink he came,
Where old King Bull-frog held his court,
lie thought he heard one call his name—
Old Hodge, old Ilodge ! he stopped and gazed,
Till goblins seemed to fill the dark,
And Hodge, tho’ brave, was rather scared :
“ What’s that 1” he said, “ what’s that !—oh
hark!”
“Old Ilodge got drunk !
Old Ilodge got drunk !
Drunk, drunk, drunk !”
“ You lie, by gosh,” said Hodge, “ you lie,”
A deep voice answered, “ Nevermore
And Hodge thought Niek himself was near,
Among the bushes on the shore,
So, thinking it was best to run ,
He started like a rail road car,
But horrid shapes now thronged his path
And voices shouted rear and far,
“ Old Hodge got drunk !
Old 1 lodge got drunk!
Drunk, drunk, drunk !”
Hodge reached his house half dead with fright
And never since has he got— 44 tight!”

In the Wrong Train. —The Yarmouth
Register tells a story about a young man
who ha<l taken a seat in one of the cars
which run “ down east” from Portland, and
who so disgusted his fellow passengers by
profane language, that an old deacon of the
“ Freewill persuasion” undertook to lecture
him upon the vice of swearing.
“You are on the straight road to perdi
tion,” said the deacon.
The young man drew a ticket from his
pocket, and after carefully scrutinizing it,
said with a look that “mendicants des

“Just my infernal luck, I bought atick- j
