jptDßlfl: jJIIII 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! hi i 5 j; .a i .1 A i'J /. 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.” EPIGRAM. Hoarse Maevius reads his hobbling verso To all, and at all times ; And finds them both divinely smooth, Ilis voice, as well as rhymes. Vet folks say,—“ Maevius is no ass— But Maevius makes it clear, That he’s a monster of an ass, An ass without an ear. ’ s. T. COI.ERrrOK. ‘ Willi. 1 OABBVBB. From the Mammoth Saturday Gazette. THOUGHTS THAT ARE THOUGHTS. From a ms. volume of Laconics and Extracts. UY J. T. VANS*. 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, powerand rank occasioneddiscussion. “1 had rather,” said he to them, “be the first even in this plasr, than the second in Rome.” Marquis Bievre was celebrated for his wit, which he frequently displayed in rep artees and puns. When presented to Lou is XV., the following dialogue took place. 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. Swift as a thought the flying moments roll, Swift as n racer speeds him to the goal. Rousseau says, “ There are but two things that arc positive goods, Health of Body, and Health of Mind ; and but two things that are positive evils, Pain of Body, and Pain of Mind. Plato, hearing it was asserted by some persons that he was a very vicious man, “ I shall take care to live so,” said he, “ that nobody will beleive them.” The Soul, of origin divine, God's glorious image, freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine, A star of day ! The Sun is but a spark of fire, A transient meteor in the sky; The soul, immortal ns its Sire. Shall never die. Montgomery. The elevation and instruction of the peo ple has opened fountains from which the vigor of j’outh is long communicated to the social body.— Allison. Corruption uniformly follows in the train of opulence; if those who have raised themselves by their exertions escape or withstand the contagion, it rarely fails to affect their descendants.— lbid. Great men, taken up in any way, are profitable company. We cannot look, however imperfectly, upon a great man, without gaining something by him. He is the living light-fountain, which it is good and pleasant to be near. The light which enlightens, which has enlightened (be dark ness of the world; and this not a kindred lamp only, but as a natural luminary shi ning by the gift of heaven a flowing light-fountain, as I say, of native original insight of manhood and heioic nobleness ; in whose radiance all souls feci that it is well with them.— Carlyle. 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, a journeyman cabinet maker : he then at tended a manual labor school, afterwards studied law, subsequently became a mem ber of Congress, and now is Governor of Minesota. -f a % a a ? i&Km From Jcrrold‘B Newspaper. 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. “Cattle on a Thousand Hills.”— The hacienda or estate, of the Mexican, Jaral, embraces probably the largest landed possessions in the world. It lies in the northern part of the State of Guanaxuato, and embraces part of the State of Zacate cas, and amounts to about 50,000 square miles. This is larger tlian the whole of the State of Tennessee.—This nabob also owns 3,000,000 head of live stock. MU I From the Cassville Standard. 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!” Athens , Geo. 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 cription.” “Just my infernal luck, I bought atick- j et for Brunswick !” AQ5“The following are the latest,(says the Boston Transcript ,) but whether they i be the newest or not, someone better vers ed than we in Joe Miller must say: Be careful, and don’t go near the woods I for some time yet, the trees are going to I shoot. “ Mr. Swipes, I’ve just kicked your Wil liam out of doors.” “Well, Mr. Swingle, its the first Bill you’ve footed this many a day.” A newly married couple went to house keeping not long since at Boston, in poplar street. At breakfast the next morning af ter their entrance, the gentleman said to his lady, “My dear, this is Poplar street, and by putting u (you) in it it becomes pop ular.” “And by putting us in it,” promptly re plied the lady, “it will become populous.” “Vat yon makes dare 1” inquired a Dutchman of his daughter, who was being kissed by her sweetheart, very clamorous ly- “Oh, not much, only courting, dat’s all!” “Oho ! dat’s all, eh 1 I taught you vas vighting 1” Athens Business Dimtovj).
