Sing a song of specie,
Gotham ell awry,
Seven and fifty Bunk Binis
Knock’d into pi;
When the Banks were open’d
The Cashiers tried tu sing,
Wasn't that a pretty dish
To send to Gov’nor King!
The King was at Albany
Fighting off the brokers.
The Cashiers were in W Ul street
Working hard as stokers;
Presidents were shining
Up and down the street,
Out rushed a Brown bear
And knocked them off their feet.
Hark ! hark ! the Banks do bark,
The brokers havo conic to ton n.
Some with " bags" and some with "rags’*
To hunt the specie down.
There waa a man in our town,
Who was so wondrous wi*e.
He jumped into the Barban coast,
And drew out his supplies.
And when he got his specie out,
With nH his might and main,
Ht rushed into another bunk
And ctflblwdvd that nU things considered, he
might well deposit again.
Here go up, up
Here we go round, round, round} !
Here go backwards and forwards,
Hcnc we go down, duun, downy ! 4' «

There was a public had a Bank.
And it had naught to give her.
Il paid out notes, and marked it* checks.
And budc the folks consider.
The folks considered very well
But couldn’t get their money.
And bade them play another tune,
•• Oh ! specie pay iug’s funny !”
Richard and Robin were two pretty men,
They laid abed till the clock struck ten,
Rvbm stalls up ami looks at the sky.
To Bank ! brother Richard our specie is dry ;
Do you go before with the check and the bag,
And I’ll follow after on little Jack nag.
Hing ding diddle, remember Nick Biddle,
The Banks have gone up like balloons ;
The Democrats laughed to see the spoil.
Arid the Broker* went in for the spoon*.

SONG ABOUT NOTHING.
I’m thinking just now of Nothing
For there .* Nothing in al! 1 see ;
And I am well pleased w ith Nothing,
And the world is Nothing to mt.
So 1 sing the praise of Nothing,
For Nothing is perfect and true ;
And I’m madly in love with Nothing,
Though that is Nothing to you.
I began my life with Nothing.
Ami Nothing on Nothing lives;
For the world i* guod for Nothing,
And Nothing lor Nothing gne*.
Moreover, I sprung from Nothing,
Ami Nothing has sprung from me;
And my Muse is fond of Nothing,
And Nothing hvi theme shall be.
At home they taught me Nothing,
Ami Nothing 1 learned at school ;
And I began to work at Nothing,
And Nothing made me a fool.
So I have a taste tor Nothing.
For Nothing I ever would choose;
And all 1 am worth is Nothing,
And Nothing I have tu lose.
Hence 1 place my faith in Nothing,
For Nothing will long endure ;
And I’ve learned to count upon Nothing,
Fur Nothing you know i* sure.
And I keep on singing of Nothing,
Because Nothing is on my mind ;
And the world it tends to Nothing,
Aud Nothing is in the wind.
Thus I’ve clung through life to Nothing,
And in Nothing put my trust;
For the world amounts to Nothing,
And Nothing is more than du»t.
All 1 know is, 1 know Nothing,
And Nothing ever shall be;
And that all tiling* eml in Nothing,
Though that i* Nothing to me.
Wokly.

AUTUMN MUSINGS.
How the morning sunbeams flicker.
Through the window panes so bright,
Weaving strange, fantastic picture*.
With their golden quivering light,
As their dancing shadow s fall
Ou the carpet—ou the wall.
Oh. an autumn morn is glorious.
With it* pure, fresh, bracing breeze,
Whispering, sighing, lightly swaying
O’er the meadows, through the tree* ,
Singing dirges, low ami solemn,
Round the maple’s leafy column.
Fading leave* are slowly falling.
Tinged with gold ami crimson hues,
And the birds are softly calling
“ Have you heard the mournful new s *
List the Autumn wind’s low humming ,
Winter, cohl and dark, is coming. ’
Sue the tender fledglings trying
If their wings are swift ami strong ‘
Fortheir weary annual journey j
To a Southern land of song ; I
Where the sunshine and the flowers
Fade not with the summer hour*.
Thus my soul would fain be pluming I
Her glad wings and soar aw ay '
To that world w here ever blooming
Summer reigns - without decay.
Ami no chilling winds of winter
Through its shining portals cuter.
Autumn ! sweet and mournful season—
How I love thy quiet day*
With thv rainbow-tinted forests.
And the soft, blue, dreamy haze
Floating, hovering o’er the mountains.
Pleasant vales, and murmuring fountains,
As thy withered leaves are crisping
’Neath my footsteps wandering slow,
Soft end sweet they seem to whisper,
Soon, like wx, you may be low.
Sleeping in the earth’s cold bosom
Ere another spring shall blossom.
Yet I grieve not; life hath never
Been so full of bliss to me
That I should regret to sever
All the bonds which set me free,
And my spirit with the blest
Fold her weary wings in rest.
Questions fop. a Wife.—D<» you recollect
what your feelings were immediately after yon
had spoken the first nnkin 1 word to your hus
band ? Doyon not feel ashamed ami grieved
and yet too proud to admit it f 'I hat wa*. i>
and ever will be, your evil genius’. It is the
temper which labors incessantly to destroy
your peace, which cheats you with an evil de
lusion that your husband deserved your anger
when be really most required your love. It i*
the cancer which feeds on those unspeakable
emotions you felt on the first pressure of hi>
hand and lip. Never forget the manner in
which the duties of that railing can alone be
fulfilled. If your husband is hasty. your ex
ample of patieime will chide as well n* teach
him. Your violence may alienate his heart,
and your neglec t may imped him to despera
tion. Your soothing will redeem him—your
softness subdue him; and the good-natured
twinkle of those eyes, now tilling bemrtiliiMy
with priceless tears, will make Idm all your
own.
Sterne says in his Koran. “ I never drink—l
cannot do it on equal terms with others. It
costs them only one day, but me three: the
first in sinning, the second in suffering, aud the
third in repenting.”
PHENOMENA OF CRIMINAL LIFE.
CVBIOUS ANECDOTES,
The dethronement of reason in the human soul,
' a calamity more to be deprecated than death
i itself, is believed to be of more frequent occur-
I rence at the present day than it used to be, and
its manifestations by criminal acts, as certain
, sorts of murder and suicide, is now fearfully
common. The increase is traceable to posi
tive causes; the excitement in business, in
literature, in travel, and in pleasure of all sorts.
It is literally a “ fast age.” and men are seen
breaking down on every hand from the over
work of the brain. There is a constant crav
ing for more money, higher wages more show,
more pleasure. more amusement.
The further we go. in our mode of living,
from nature, in its ordinary character, in a
civilized country, the hazard of mental di*
turbauce ami derangement become greater : a*
for instance, nunneries and monn-tie iirtitu
tions which doubtless could tell fearful ta'u*.
were there secret* revealed. Prisons, be
ing a nec< **ary departure from nature, pro
duce much mental disease. which, according
to report* of the inspector*, i* gradually in
(•reusing. The *pecics of in*.inity induced by
imprisonment is usually that of melancholy or
1 monomania: but delusions of the mind, as well
a* physical disorder*, are fi < qiieiitly counter
feited by pfi - s<»n* in the h<»p<* “t being removed
i to some place supposed to be easier, and get
rid of the irksome ne** «»f imprisonment. The
practice of deception, however, may sometimes
he adopted for present amusement or subse
quent b.i;i-lami the performance* ar- fi\-
quently very ludicrous
We have lately heard of some rather < tirious
< •('<- of the kind. The first i* that <4 an
Irish *o!dicr. a tall and poweifnl man.
v ho took t<» playing the fool, and did *o very
*uccessfidh fora while: but his last c**ay wa*
*o completely a piece of acting that it marred
all. A* a soldi* r. he had been punished over
and over again, and wa> so entirely wort’de**
that m»t only hi* officers, but his w hole regi
ment. rejoiced at his being drummed out to the
tune of the ••Hogue * March,” whit h wa* nev
er played more appropriately over a degraded
I soldier, lie had gained hi* object, however,
and carcl nothing for it. He returned to hi*
old vagrant life, and mm in got into crime, which
proved more serious to him than he expected:
for he was transported, and, as a convict, w a*
compelled to work, thv wry last thing h» ever
wished to clo.
I‘poii the occasion referred to. he suddenly ,
assumed a new character; and so ridiculous
was hi* appearance that hl* officers, on open
ing his door, hurst into loud laughter—for
there stood the prisoner, dre*scd and ornament
ed like a savage c hies, armed with a moc k spear
and tomahawk, but motionless a* a statue,
lie had diverted himself of every article in the
dress of the civilised, and. by various c-ontriv
anc-c*. substituted the more fantastic costume
of the savage chief, hi the fir*t place, he had
imitated the tatcwiing of the skin, with the help
of his black lead: next, he made his hair to
stand upright by the interlacing of the bristle*
of his *w evping brush : w liil*t around hi* w ai*t
lie had wrapped faiita*tically his red and w hitv
coverlet, cut into strip* and fringe: and on
various part* of hi* person had peculiar orna
ment* of different sort*. Hi* broom-handle
was traii'formcd into a spear, and something
else into a tomahawk. The man was devel
opecl now a* an impo*tor. and was transferred
from the doctor’* gentle care to the rough
handling of the keeper of the jail.
'flie next c a*v was al* » one of unsuccessful
imposition, by an uncommon villain, of whom
a few particulars should be fust mentioned.
This man. nl*o, was of the Celtic race, but
brought up in the metropolis. He was h r o g.l
savage, w ho sprang like a tiger once upon h’*
keeper, without any provocation, an*! hit oft’
one of his finger*. The officer was of course
put to exquisite pain by this ferocious act; and
the prisoner being brought before the vi-iting
ju*ticc*. received the condign punishment of
I thirty-six lashes. He might have been sent
for trial, and. if convicted, might have got one
, or two years added to his sentence ; but it was
possible he might get oft’ through the ingenui
ty of counsel and the uncertainty of law; so it
was decided summarily to indict the punish
ment w hic-h was c ertain, and not prospective.
He wa* disappointed at not being removed
for trial, and the night before the flogging he
*viit for the chaplain and professed penitence:
but he was told that it wa* too late, and that
lie must suffer the coii*c<|ilenc*es of Ids horrid
i offence. He accordingly underwent the pun
! ishniviit pretty stoutly, hut became terribly
crestfallen, am! for month* conducted himself
in a manner w holly different from hi* former
violent behavior.
We ary at length, apparently, of this c alm
and ignoble pe ace, he broke out again, and re
ceived the ordinal} prison punishment, which
was but a joke to him. although it* frequent
recurrence wa* sensibly undermining a splen
did constitution. He now adopted a new
course, to give, a* he thought annoyance. He
declared him*vlf to be a Koinan Catholic*. He
had entered himself on committal as a Protes
tant. He said now. that that was a lie. for
that he v. a* born and brought up a Romanist.
He wa* nov evidently speaking truth, although
still w ith a t.Jsc purpose, for he cared nothing
for religion in any *liapc. lie wa* allow ed to
see hi* priest, ami was supplied w ith thv books
of the Romish church. Everyone wished that
sin h a savage might he c ivilized and changed
by any mean*. But no; there wa* no change
visible. Ihe flogging had done most, as yet.
for him. It kept him from biting any one.
At length, hi* villainy nearly perished by his
own folly and w ickedness. He piled together
his library books, and over them the piece* of
his broken stool and table, in the corner of his
cell, where the foul air is extracted, and then
ignited the heap from his gas. reckoning that
the Hue would carry oft’ the violence of the
heat and the volume of the *moke. And so it
did. tilling the whole building with smoke:
but at thv same time, enough remained almost
to sutVcM’ate the perpetrator. An alarm of tire
was speedily raised, and it was soon tracked to
the pretended maniac’s cell, and glad enough
wa* he to escape from the self-imposed penance
of fire and smoke ; hut. in no w ise improved
by the ordeal, he rushed out of the door, when
opened. <4a*ping hi* book* of devotion to hi*
breast, and exclaiming. "Oh. my blessed book*!
liiv blessed book*! Some thought that the
, man. terror-stricken, had seized the books a* a
charm of safety ; w hile other* considered that
! this w a* only a part of his acting.
He continued to play the madman in a great
variety of w ay* *ubscqiivntly, not wholly w ith
-1 out success; that is. so far a* to produce great
trouble, and yet to secure for himself a cer
tain immunity from punishment, on thvground
of some degree of mental disturbance. In
truth, inordinate villainy of this description.
’ and con*vquvnt punishment, sometimes con
vert* the feigned into the real malady, and the
cunning knave into the dow might fool or thv
raving maniac.
The la*t ca* • of pretended mental di*va*c
we shall mention is that of a very violent and
dangerous man w ho for a long time complained
of "[Miison in hi* food.” He still continued to
partake of it. how ever. When he ate. he de
voured his focnl ravenously, like a wolf or a
bear; and n<» sooner was it all clear oft’ than
he began his complaints again, as if in agony.
After a while the crisis came, ami he gave out
that they had "done him at la*t”—that he
wa* "ththl, and pa*t thv reac h of his enemies.’’
The man. all thi* while, looked very pallid and
miserable, and it wa* considered not improba
ble that hi* mind might be giving way. He
wa* medic-ally treated, and placed with other
prisoners in a convalescent room. Here he
had more air and exercise. Being now more
vonwious. he had more I’ocml. He continued to
look cadaverous-like, but evidently increased
in bulk. He affirmed constantly still "that he
wa* dead.” and saw. and heard, and felt suc h
terrible thing*, that hi* companions, if they
only knew half, would not mock him. They
were. h<»wever. not c-oiivinced that thv man
was "dead : for. to their cost, they felt at times
that he was alive and in goo<l stomach, since,
if one of them hapia-ned to turn hi* back at
, meal-time for a moment, hl* bread or his meat
i vanished, which was devoured by the ‘’dead
'man.” If accused, however, he declared that
it wa* all his, and showed *m h a bold front
that the w ronged invalid, knowing his desper
ate character, had to *u • r.mb, Ihus, with
the help of full ration* and occ.a*ional extra* of
this kind, the “dead” man recovered his
strength, and wa* rmmwd, though still perti
nacionsly per*i*ting that he had been poisoned
and put to death b} the doctor.
The subsequent history of this man showed
that lie v a* a person of ravenous appetite, and.
when fully fed, desperate, cruel, and mur
deroii*. For an attac kon the life of an otfie vr.
he i* now undergoing punishment for the term
of hi* natural lite, and there i* need of every
possible pre<autic»n, or lie will be the death of
-i •me one yet.
Two caset* of simulated bodily disease may
he added in conclusion. The one is that <4 a
pig-*tealcr. He complained c 4 exquisite pain*
from ‘‘the rheumatics,” and was medically
treated; hut he pr<4<-*ed to grow worse and
worse, and to be w holly incapable, at last, of
moving or even standing. He was *u*pec tcd
of malingering, or shamming disease, and wa*
ordered to labor like other*. Not moving
from his bed. two or three turnkeys were or
dered to dress the man and set him on his legs.
He *<rvamvd piteously all the while from his
"terrible pains,” and his cries might be heard
all over thv place. The officer*, however, car
ried out their orders, and set him on his feet;
but he fell heavily, and to all appearance most
naturally, on the pavement, and there he lay
screaming still more »li*trc* ingl}. Ihe c-irc-uni
staiicv wa* reported, and it was decided that
nothing further should be attempted at that
time. He professed still to grow’ worse, and
after varioti* expedient*, moral and physical,
had been n*» cl. he was removed to an invalid
prison a* a doubtful case. In that prison he
declared himself bette r in his upper limb*, but
w holly powerless in flic leg*. He walked on
hi* knees for twelve months, and wa* never
once known, though narrowly watched, to
stand upright. It was cone-hided, at last, that
the man was not shamming, or that he had
brought some unac countable disease upon him
self. Y< t, w hen the time of hi* liberation
came, he hec-ainc suddenly cured, ami went
about as before, pig-dealing, ami, we fear, pig
stc:ding too.
The other c ase wa* that of a well-educated
and cuicv rvspvc table man. who successfully
counterfeited paralysis. Nothing could be more
like the real thing than his performance.—
His eyes failed, and he wa* supplied with the
largest t} pc and suitable spectacles. He c oldd
not walk to chapel, although "greatly desiring
to he there:’' and when he penned his letters.
In- wrote in very large hand, as it' In- could not
otherwise srv his own w riting. There was a
great deal in thv man's history to excite com
passion. and some semblance of hardship in his
long sentence. He. too, w hen the time c ame for
him to receive his discharge, at once marvel
lously recovered the use c 4 his limbs and eyes,
ami is. it i* said, using both extensively for
purposes of imposition upon the benevolent
public.
THE TORY MASSACRE.
B Y 11 1 C II Alt l» E V EItE TT .
A little more than a year ago last winter, we
made- a tour through the Southern State*, and
in the course of our ramble*, tarried aw hile at
the little village of 11 iilshorough. North Caro
lina. It was a location hallowed to our mind
by man} revolutionary a**<>< iations. In his
memorable retreat across North Carolina, in
February. I7 S l. the rugged but gallant army ol‘
Gen. Greene forded the river Haw. a short dis
tance from 11 iilshorough. All through the
revolutionary struggle, thv ncighhoringc-oiintry
was m4cd for it* afi’rays. which were con
stantly oc c urring, cithe r Letw evn the patriot*
and English Troops, or the patriot* am! their
traitorous enemies, the torics.
Not far from Hill*l-oroiigh. we were shown
the scene of a terrible massacre of torics by
the trooper* of•• Lev’s Legion.” Great chan
ges have taken plac-v since those eventful times,
and our guide c-ould only point out the vicini
ty of the coiiilict. there being no veteran todv
signate the exact spot. Let u* recall the cir
cumstance* of that terrible affair.
Although driven aero** the river Dan. into
\’irginia. a G revue had no idea of abandoning the
South ; but in the old and wealthy county of
Halifax, endeavored to recruit his wearied
troops, and pre pare again to meet the foe. A*
a preliminary step to the movement of his
whole army. Greene sent Col. Henry Lev with
hi* legion of c-avalry and two companies of
Maryland malitia to harra*s the British force
and disperse the bands c4’ torics which were
organizing throughout the Carolinas.
Col. Lee had formed a squadron of c-avalry.
uniformed ami armed precisely after thv fash
ion of l ark ton's celebrated corps; and no man
in the American service was more dreaded by
thv foe than "Legion Harry,” as he was gene
rally styled throughout the American camp,
especially backed by his troopers. About the
middle of February. Lord Cornwallis issued a
proclamation, inviting all those w ho were loy
al to the King, to join his standard, promising
protection and reward, and at the same time
threatening’‘rebels''w ith the halter, if found
with arm* in their hands. Soon aftertliisevcnt
Lee crossed thv Dan and advanc ed slow ly into
North Carolina.
By a c urious circumstance it happened that
just at thi* time Col. T arleton, with his legion
and some companies of infantry, left the Brit
ish camp and moved toward the \ irginia line
on a marauding expedition. Lee had advanr- ,
cd only one clay's inarc h w hen hi* scout* bro't
information of Tarleton's approach, ami that
he was then enc amped at a plantation only six
or eight miles distant. Lev resolved to attac k
the English troops that wry night. Arrang
ing his forces, he moved up w itliin a short dis
tance of thv British c amp and w aited for dark
ness.
It so happened, however, that Tarleton was
on thv point of removing hi* camp to another
plantation : that very afternoon he put his ar
rangement inforce, and moved away sonic fif
teen miles, in a direction contrary to I a e's calcu
lation. Therefore, in the evening, on approach
ing the British encampment, w ith great cir
cumspection. the American troops were sorely
mortified to disc-over that the sagacious Briton
was no w livre to be found
Greatly chagrined. Lee was on the point of
pu*hing with all haste after the British ('oloiivl.
when the indomitable scouts again c-ame in with
information. They brought intelligence that
om-Col. Pyle, a noted tory. with a company of
four hundred mounted loyalists, wa* close at
hand, making for Tarleton's camp, unaware
that he had moved. Lee resolved to capture
the w hole party by stratagem. Sending for
ward a couple of troopers to meet thv thries
ami conduc t them to c amp, lie placed the mili
tia and riflemen in ambush on each side of the
road, and drew up hi* legion in proper form to
receive the tory battallioii. It wa* his inten
tion to lead the torics into an ambiisc ade, am’
to take them all prisoners. To the honor of
Col. Lev. Im-it recorded, that lie did not con
template m»r plan the ma**acrv which follow -
ed.
As the torics approac bed. Lee sent his Adju
tant to greet the Colonel, and direct him w here
to p<>*t hi* nu n. I'he Adjutant returned w ith
word that "Col. Tarleton'* w ishes should be
cheerfully complied with !” Lee saw that hi*
stratagem wa* working to perfection. Col.
Pyle marched hi* men tothv place indicated by
Lee. and drew them up in tw o ranks along the
road, in such a maimer that they w e re- hemmed
in by the concealed militia on one side, and
Lee's legion on the* other. When the tory line
was formed. Lee. at the head of hi* tr<»ope-rs,
rode slow ly tow ards it and pa*>vd along direct
ly in trout, until the two Colonel* were- oppo
■ site each other. As Lev extended hi* hand to
Pyle, the loyalists raised the shout of "God
save the King." in which the Americans join
ed. in order to c arry out their plan and prevent
discovery. Col. Lev then complinicntvcl thv
numlier and «.-<pnpnie-nt of his corp*, and hoped
they would do good se.-rvi< e- in the- King's cause !
He then turned ami wa* about to give the sig
nal for the* legion to c over the tory troop* with
tla-ir carbines, whe n a sudden burst of mus
ketry. mingled with thv yells and c heer*, broke
frum thv lower extremity of the line.
The torics discovered the American militia
aiming at them, perceived they w ere betrayed,
and « oninKiiced firing their<carbincs. Themi
litia returned with a heavy volley, which kill
ed more than forty men. A terrible hand to
hand fight ensued, in w hich the Americans
were completely victorious. Lee ami his chief
officer* endeavored to stop the carnage, but the
memory of many Tory outrage*, nerved the
arm* of the troopers, ami the} hew ed dow n
their hated enemies without heeding their
c-rivs for quarter. Some two hundred mvii.nc
cording to some accounts, were killed in less
than twenty minutes. Stedman, in his history
of war. puts the number of killed and wound
ed at three hundred ; but Bc4ta, w ho is gene
rally first rate authority, think* this nunihvr
too large. Tradition say* that ninety hoisi*
w ere also killed and wounded. C<»l. Pyle, bad
]v injured by a sabre cut. Bed for shelter to a
small pond near by, ami plunging into thv wa
ter, coiictalvd himself among the reeds, with
nothing hut his head above the surface, until
the fight wa* over and the field clv*ertvd. Hc
then crawled out and made hi* way to the
British c-amp. The Americ an* did not lose a
man or horse, killed or wounded.
A few of thv tories inniiMgvd to reach the
British<*amp and carry to larkton the terrible
intelligence that Pyk*'* detachment was cut to
pieceshy the "rebel vagabond*." Expecting,
with goo I reason, that those same ’vagabond*
were in searc h of him, the Colonel broke up
hi* c amp ami pushed for the main army, Lee
follow ing hard upon hi* track.
Muc h valuable plunder wa* taken from the
defunct torics. Their equipments and arm*
w ere all new . from the British store*, and they
soon replaced the miserable arm* borne by
some c4' the American troops. Sixty-five hor
ses were also taken, w ith new saddles and rig
gingcomplete. Lee. re-inforc-cd by three hun
dred lirieinvn. pushed after l ark-ton. until he
was within a few miles of thv main army.—
"Fortune, the capricious goddvs*.” said Lcvaf
terwards, "gave us Pyle and saved Tarleton.”
A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
A THRILLING STORY.
The editor c 4 the Chicago Time*, having been
on the North side of that city to sec a friend,
wa* recently prevented from reaching his home,
in consequence of a steam tug having passed
up thv l iver w ith a small fleet of vessels in tow .
one of w hich had just been c ast off and hauled
in just West c 4’the bridge, leaving the "draw"
still open. While waiting he witnessed the
follow ing sc-ciiv:
T he vessel w e have mentioned was moored
or made fast outside of several c anal boat*: and
as we stood looking at the men upon her. one
c4‘ them approached a female, who had been
c rouc hed upon deck.and addressing her. pointed
to thvshore, then to the bridge, ami then dow n
towards the thronged and busy streets of living,
moving, headlong Chicago. She arose, picked
up a small bundle, from w hich she drew forth
a c-oin w hic-h she tendered to the hardy sailor.
He refused it whatever it was, and lending her
a hand, helped her from the vessel to thv doc k
up to the bridge. By this time a large c rowd
of person* had thronged the North end cd’ w here
the bridge* would be if it were always a bridge;
and in voiitcinplatieg the new faces, and the
representatives of the various classes there as
sembled we had almo*t forgotten the incident
we have related. Our attention was called
from the vain endeavor t<» discover some cessa
tion of tugs going up and down, and brig* ami
schooner* pulling in and out, by hearing a
most audible sob from some one mar us. It
wa* the sob of some mature!’ breast, filled
with a sense of loneliness and despair. Il
rcac-hed other ear* than our*.
A lady dressed in a manner whic h bespoke
a wealth that c-ould gratify ta*te and elegance,
ami who like ourselves, wa* detained at I hat

ing thv pvr*on from whom it came, who was
none other than the other woman we had ju*t
seen land from her vv.*'tl, she quietly, and in
that soft sweet voice of woman whic h none
can resist, inquired if she stood in need, or w a*
she ill. or was her sorrow suc h that could not
be relieve!. A portion of the railing near us
was vacant, ami towards that and almost at
our side these two women came to converse.—
The stranger was a fair, handsome girl, of about
seventeen years; neatly but coarsely dressed,
w ith shoes not only well worn, hut heavy, and
unsuited as much for her sex as for the >ea*on.
The poor girl, in honest simplicity, and with an
earnestness w hic’h despair alone can impart, re
lated her history, uninterrupted by a single ob
servation from her companion, but often ac -
companied by the teal’s ot both. We have not
space for it* at length, but we will give it.
c hanging its order just enough to enable us to
state it briefly.
She said she lived in Boston; she had no
brother or sister now ; she remembered that
she had a sister, the oldest whose name was
Lizzie : that sister years ago against her father’s
will had married, and w ith her husband had
liven banished from her father's sight, had gone
off" and had not been heard of since—no doubt
dead. At the time of her sister’s marriage her
parent* w ere wealthy. The pride w hich drove
aw ay Lizzie had brought silent regret and af
ter a while came melancholy complaining* by
the mother's sighing for the embrace of her
, first-horn. T hese soon led to anger and crimi
nation at home, and dissipation by the father
abroad. Loss.-* came upon them, and at last,
gathering the few remaining goods they left
the proud c ity of their birth, and settled five
y ears ago upon the land purchased of the gov
ernment in Wisconsin. Her brother*, some
older ami some younger than hvrselfone by
one drooped and diecl; and soon the mother,
(*alling in agony upon her long exiled daughter,
joined her boys in a happier clime. None
w ere left now but the father and this poor girl.
He too was humbled and stricken by the slow
hut certain disease which light* up the cheek
and tires the eye with the brilliancy of health.

He would sit and tell to hi* surviving child
thv acts of w inning love and the sac rificing de
votion which he had made his Lizzie the very
objec t <»f his life. He would talk of her sweet
smik sand happy disposition until memory would
lead him to thv hour when he bid her depart,
and not let him sec her sac e again. llisdccTinc
was rapid, and his lone child saw the Rowers

the soil of her mother's grave disturbed, up
rooted and thrown aside that his ashes might
mingle with those of thv mothered’ his chil

At hi* death he « barged her to pay off', ns
far a* she might be able, the debt* inc nrred to
procure the ncc e**ariv* cd’ life. The land w hic-h
from w ant of culture, had not inc-re:L**-»l in val

The*c she expended in rearing some board* to
mark the sped when >hc had seen buried, one
alter another her beloved kindred. She had
heard of Chicago. S’ic had heard that in this
city there were oftic * where stranger* will

travelled on foot man} mik-s. until she reached
Milwaukee, and thcine by thv kindness of a
poor sailor who had *< ( n her day after clay on
the dcM-k. w atching the *tcamel’s depart, had in
quired and ascertained that she wished to
come hither, but had not the money. He
brought her to Chica_' • on hi* ve**< 1, and had
told her that by cro**i i j the bridge she could
find one of those pla ~ where situation* were
given to worthy applicants.
Such was her story. She had mentione<l no
name except that ot -ather. mother, and the
very endearing uppe.i (tion of brother, George.
Willie. A’c. Both of the women were cry ing
bitterly. The fashionable dressed lady turned
her face toward* the river, that her tear* at
such a crowded and :nu*ual place might not

These two being*, c hildren of the same pa
rent*, how different have been their paths, and
how deep their sufferings! We have seen
them together in “ Lizzie’s” carriage driving
along Lake street. T hey are doubtless as hap
py as their bereavements, relieved only by the
consciousness of duty faithfully performed, can '
permit. But while the suft'erings of that fa
ther and mother may be faintly known from
the story of the daughter, w hat mu*t have been
her grief w hen her letters, w rittvn from a pros
perous city, from thv house of her w ealthy and
kind husband, telling them of her success and
the birth of her c hildren, were unnoticed and
unanswered ' She must have felt indeed that
the hearts of that father and mother, her sis
ters and brothers, must have been hardened
against her. We will say no more. That
scene will live in one memory while we can
remember the holy love ot a father, mother and
kindred.
A BATTLE INCIDENT.
At thv battle <4‘ the Thames, a laughable in
cident oc c urred, which is thus related by one
w ho w as in the engagement;
The British General had formed bis men in •
open order, with their cannon pointing down
the road, by which the Americans were ad
vancing. Gun. Harrison immediately took ad
vantage of this, and ordered Col. Johnson’s
mounted regiment to c harge at speed by head*
of companies, (so as to expose thv least possi
ble front) pass through thv open intervals and
form in the rear of the British forces. Thi*
movement wa* brilliantly executed by the bat
tallion under the command of Lieut. Colonel
James Johnson, his brother, Col. R. M. John
son, at the same time charging thv Indians w ith
the other battalion.
It happened that in one cd’ the companies un
der James Johnson's command there was a
huge*. In aw nvy fellow, named Lamb; he weigh
ed about *24'> pounds, w as a brave man, and as
good humored a* big—brave men proverbially
are. Lamb had broken clow n his Kentucky
horse by hi* great weight, and was mounted
instead, upon a short, stout, wiln Canadian
pony, from whose side* liis long limbs suspend
ed almost to the ground, w hile his bulky frame
rose high above the beast, looking like an over
grow n boy astride of a rough sheep.
When the c harge was made. Lamb’s pony
took fright and broke into a run. Lamb pull
ed until the hit broke in the aiiiinaL* mouth,
and all command of him was lost. The little
pony stretched himself a* to the work. ln*licd
out of the rank*, soon outstripped nil the file
leaders and pushed on in advance of the com
pany. Lamb wa* no longer master of his po
ny or himself, and he wasin a quandary. If
rolled oft’ he would be trampled to death by
his friends ; if the horse rushed upon the Brit
ish lines with him. so far ahead of the rv*t. he
must be killed. Either way death seemed in
evitable. and to Use hi* expression, he thought
"he'd jist say something they could tell his
friend* in Kentucky, w hen they w ent homu.”
He stuck both heel* into the pony's tlank*.
ami urged him to his utmost speed. On they
drove, some fifty yards in front of the leading
tile. Lamb'.* gigantic person swaying from side
to side, and his legs swinging in a most por
tentous fashion--the little Canadian "pulling
foot” ail lie knew how, his tail straight, hi*
nostril* distended, his cars pinned back, ami
his eyes Bashed from under their shaggy fore
top, w ith all the spite and spleen of a born de
vil. Just as he had got w ithin a stride or two
of the British. Lamb thmrished his rille and
roared out in a voice of thunder:
"Clear the way, G—d d—n you! for I’m
coming!”
I’o liis surprise the lines opened right and
left, and he passed through unhurt.
So great wa- thvirastonishnicnt at the *t range
apparition ofsiich a rider, and such a horse
moving upon them, w ith furious velocity, that
they opened nicchanicaily at his word of com
mand and fi t him pa**. So soon a* he gained
the rear of their position. Lamb rolled on the
gra>*. and suffered liis pony to goon hi* own
road. A few minutus more and he wa* w ith
his comrade* securing the prisoners.
ONE WHO WOULDN'T DO.
T he rec ently enacted school law of thi* State,
making it incumbent on competent judges to
examine aii'l license applicants for the situation
of teacher*, subjec ts the commissioners elected
for this purpose to much vexation, the appli

thv same time furnishing outsiders with no in
considerable fund of amusement.

MODEL SCHOOL COMPOSITION.
Ike has got ha»»k to school, and has embark
ed upon hi* studies with an excellent promise
of progrv*s. lie hasalready commenced with
his compositions, the following of which has
been handed in :
THE AMEBIC AX EAGLE.
This is thv great bird that has ever spread
bis wings owr this great and glorious country.
The place where he builds his nest is c alled an
eyrie, away upon the preci pees where the foot
of man can’t come, though perhaps ahoy’*
might. The eagle is aferocious fellow, and sit*
on the top* of the c liffs and looks sharp for
plunder. He get* tired c4’ waiting, and then
lie starts out in the blue expan*ive heaven*,
and soars al! around on his opinions over the
land and the w ater, to see w hat he c an pounce
dow n upon. But though he is calleci a very
cruel bird, he always preys before eating, just
like any good moral man at the head ofhisfam
ily. He vat* Ids vitual* raw. which is an un
favorable habit ; but it is supposed that he
eats it so because he like* to. He is a ven
courageous bird, and w ill fight like blazes for
his young, and steal c hickens wherever he can
see them. He ha* been known to c arry off' a
young baby to bis not. which seems to show
that eagle* love little children. He is a bird
of great talon*, and is much rcsjcected by bird*
of the feathered tribe that are afraid of him.
He is a great study for artist*, but appear* to
best advantage on the tcn-dollar gold piece,
and fifty-cent piece*, and pretty well on the
dimes, a.* he sit* gathering up his thunderbolt*
under him. as if he was in a great hurry to be
oft’. He ha* lately broke out on the new cent,
and >vciii* as if in hi* hurry he had dropped all
hi* thunder. The American eagle is the patri
ot* hope and the inspiration of fourth of July.
He soar* through the realms of the |MM.t’s fan
cy. and whet* hi* beak on the bight *t peak of
the orator's imagination. He is the mouth of
every politic ian, so to speak. He is said by
them to stand on the Rocky Mountains, and to
dip hi* bill into the Atlantic, while his tail casts
a shadow on the Pacific coast. This is all gam- ,
menu There never was one more than eight
feet long from the tip of one w ing to the tip of
t’other. Hi* angry scream is heard ever so
far, and he don't care a feather fur anybody.—
Take him every way, he is an immense fowl,
■ and his march is over the mounting wave, with
' the star spangled banner in his hand, whistling
Yankee Doodle. — Bontoa Sunday Ectniny (,’a- \
