D., OF FHILADILrHIA. “My mother!” What a chain of blissful thought Is in that home-endearing sentence wrought! Is there on earth a melody so dear, As that sweet sound to gentle childhood’s ear ? Mv mother soothe' tny grief, refines my bliss, And asks hut what I love to give—a kiss. Aye, though the truant heart of manhood stray, Ta other charms and other friends away; The memory of a mother’s love, at last, Returns, like bread on Nile’s rich waters cast, To prove the 9olace of a stricken heart, When-sorrows come, and hope’s gay dreams depart. There’s not a wither'd leaf that d.tes not yield Undying odors, when through childhood's field Os sunny days and ever blooming sweets, To hail a mother's smile, the cloudless memory fleers, ~MISC E L L AN y7~ From the New-York Mirror. THE FAVORITE MAID OF HONOR. BY JOHN ST. HUGH MILLS. “ Her lip was silent, scarcely beat her heart Her eye alone proclaimed ‘we will not part !* Thy hope may perish, or thy friends may flee. Farewell to life—but not adieu to thee !” Motninir just dawned. The first rays of the orb of day tipped cheerfully the turrets of the venerable Windsor castle, making the proud fabric look as if crowned with gold ; the velvet, emerald turf, sparkled and glowed with brilliant dew-drops; the Thames winded his graceful, careless folds, flashing in the spor tive beams like a stream of light, and murmur ed his tuneful, unceasing song within a stone’s throw of the stately pile. The royal standard, flouting proudly in the breeze upon the Tower, signified England’s youthful queen was under its time-defying roof. The grave sentinels paced their allotted watch with measured tread; not a voice was heard, and silence reigned unbroken. Ttieopering of a window, looking o i the terrace, occasioned a veteran to c <st his eyes upward, and seeing the form of a l io-ely-attired female, a redness o\erspren<i his iron features, as if he hat) committed a breach of duty, and averting his head, he became motionless as one of the suriotindmg statues. With head reclining upon her arm, Amie VVingrove gazed upon the fairy scene from her chamber, unconscious of its fascinations. Her face, usually so happy in expression, was pale, and marked with anxiety; her eyes were cast downward, liearing evident appearance of weeding, anti her lips moved quickly, as if holding silent council with her thoughts ; for no sound escaped tltem. She was tl»e only child af Colonel Wingrove, an officer distin guished for every desirable qualification, ex cepting, only, that magnet for attracting the world’s good opinion—wealth. Upon his death, the liberal pension, allowed by his grate ful country for his meritorious and brave con d-Mct, of course ceased, and his daughter, his spoiled arid betratiful favorite, was left almost destitute. This being known to her majesty, the distinguished appointment of “ a maid of honor” was immediately confet red upon her, a vacancy having fort ornately occurred ; and Amie soon became the favorite yet unenvied companion of her royal mistress. Seldom was the queen, either riding or walking, with out her laughing merry attendant being close to her side, and mutual pleasure existed in e tch other’s, society, as free from all restraint und form as in the friendship of private life. Long and loud was the laugh which would ring cheerfully from the room where they stole hours together, away from pomp and wearying grandeur. The song, light as a bird’s, would peal upon the ear of t.ie gratified listener, astonishing him with tlie reality of a queen’s being capable of indulging in pleasures with a companion ; and being a light-hearted merry girl, wiio.se brow never seemed to feel tiie weight of a massive crown, nor the empty glit cr of regal pomp blinding tier from the real happiness which may be derived from social amusement. Day sifter day rolled on with the same reciprocal teelmgs ol'esteem and attachment, till one morning after a ball, her majesty having noticed the marked attention of Lord Brandestone. a young officer in the guards, to Amie, playfully remaiked, “ tltere i was much soft whispering between you and my i Lord Bradestone last evening. Amie.” Ere the conclusion of the observation, Anne started like a frightened fawn, witli blushes mantled upon her checks, and a manne* so strangely hesitating and confused, that astonish ment profound took the place of tlie playful expression on the queen’s countenance. She hastily inquired, “ VVlial is the matter, Amie? How very singular that rny nllusioti should oc -1 casion this exceeding disturbance of feeling.” “Nothing—nothing. Indeed, your mujes. ty, there is nothing,” icplied Amie, wi’.hsuch haste, that it was quite obvious there was some. • thing exactly contrary iu meuning to tlie ex : press ion. “ Come. come, you must confide tlie secret | to me. or we shall subject tiis lordsh p to our | royal displeasure for traitorously usurping our station tn tlie affections of u best-loved subject,” j said tlie queen luughmg. “Tiieo it will be unmerited, for no one could occupy tliat, no, not even he f n cried Amie. with excited void: and flushed brow. “ Not even he,” repeated the queen, slowly and seriously. “Then you have unkindly neglected to communicate this affair to me. Oh, Amie! I did not anticipate you would be so very si. lent upon a subject that should have been told me without the slightest iiesitation or con* cealment.” “ Pray, forgive me!” exclaimed the weeping girl, “I was very wrong; but—but—L>— ” “ But you preferred keeping the secret. Well, well, in our clemency we forgive it; but you must confess, now, no thanks to your con. fi.lence, the tender tale; how, when and wliere • ’twere told.” “ I hardly, indeed, am conscious of what I’ve been saying,” cried Amie, distressed be yond description. A look of extreme astonishment spread over the features of the queen as she receded a step or two, and steadfastly gazed U|>on the agita. ted trembling girl. For some seconds not a word passed, and nothing but tlie convulsive sob which now and then, escaped the lips of Amie, br;4te the silence of that distressing pause. At length her majesty, with altered tone and manner, asked, “ Is there nothing you have to communicate ?” “Oh ! pray do not ask me now. I will tell you all when—when—” and a flood of tears interrupted the completion of the sentence. “lam bewildered!” exclaimed the queen. “To-morrow morning this must be explained ; till tlien, Miss Wingrove, adieu.” As she was ieaving the apartment with haste and great displeasure in her manner, Ainie made some slight ejaculation, which caused her majesty to stop and look around ; and perceiving Amie’s face buried in her handkerchief and ciying, she hastened towards > her, and in a kind entreating tone of voiced beggen to he relieved of the anxiety site was under for the cause of the evident trouble and misery her companion and favorite was ex- j periencing ; but to no purpose, for Amie con-; tinued to weep so, that it was impossible for her, even if willing, to sjieak two words con- j secutively. 'I he queen finding it impractica* j ble to obtain the intelligence she required,! saluted Ainie and quitted tfie room,saying, “ I, shall anticipate seeing you to-morrow morning very early in my dressing room.” The morning follow ing this scene, with the | first break of light, Amie sprung from her restless bed, and throwing open the casement, the fresh air revived her drooping spirits, and ; its coolness replaced the tint of the rose upon the pallid cheek. With earnest gaze she bent 1 her looks to one spot, and as each moment! passed, so did her apparent anxiety increase. I How unkind Ire is to be soiate?” exclaimed she. impatiently. “What shall I do if he neglects coming!” At the entrance of the terrace an officer, in the neat undress of the Life-guards, moved; quickly along, and appeared so occupied with ! his own reflections, that he forgot to return the salute of the sentinels as they presented arms to him when pussing. He was That height of I Chesterfield perfection, about five feet ten! inches, slight in figure, having an aeqnifine,; nristocratic nose; thick, black mustaches; graced his lip; dark blue eyes, in which honesty of character was clearly developed, and a profusion of naturally-curled hair, ren dered him altogether anything but a very pan, lady avoided, not-to-be-looked-at young fellow. No sooner did Amie catch a glimpse of him, than clapping her hands with delight,; she cried — “ Thank heaven, there fie is !” In j a second more he was under the window mak- \ ing innumerable signs, which doubtlessly, were intelligible to her, hut 'o others would have been very difficult of solution. The telegraphic communication ended with a sudden disap pearance of Amie fiom the window, and an 1 equally quick re-appearance on the terrace; muffied up in a cloak and a very close bonnet.; Regardless of the soldiers marching up and down, and with singular lack of admirable; discretion and modesty so prevalent in ladies fair, Amie, absolutely permitted the youthful; disciple of Mars to impress a very long and tender salute upon her beaming, and now happy looking face; nor did she appear the least disconcerted at the termination,but seemed to receive it as a matter of course. “ I am so glad that you are come, dear George. I really don’t know what would have been the consequence if you had not!” exclaimed Amie. “ Ha, ha, ha !” laughed the young soldier. “ I was very greatly inclined not, to teaze and make you frown, darling, just for novelty’s sake.” “ Indeed, sir, I beg, and command you not! to think of such a piece of insubordination, or you shall he drummed out of tlie regiment.” “ Well, but what would have been the con* sc<)uence if I had not kept my appointment, Lady B?” “ Now, George, dear, do not be so exceed, ingly vulgar, as to address me by a plebeian initial.” “ Oh, my little aristocrat, I beg your pardon; ino't humbly crave your forgiveness. My Lady Brandestone, then.” “ Nor Lady Brandestone, sir, if you please, or I shall call you, as stiffly as possible, “ my Lord Brandestone,” replied Amie, with aficc* ; led coolness. “ My own little, pretty, charming, delightful Amie, then ; will that suit you V “ That certamiy ia an improvement, George —mo now to something of more serious me i thod. Wfiat do you think of iny bang so I silly as to slutosl betray list secret to the queen, yesterday f*’ inquired Aime, with something of 6-sr in her manner. I C. R. HA-NLEITKR, PRINTER. a Nothing more probable,” was the reply. “ And this morning, in less than two hours, I shall be "Obliged to confess our—” “ Imprudence,” interrupted the listner. “ For,” continued Amie, " her majesty was quite offended at my refusing to confess the cause of my embarrassment, yesterday, and told me to be with her early in the dressing room, this morning; but nothing should have induced me to tell previous to seeing you, be cause—” “I told you not,” suggested his loidship. “Now,” continued he, 80 inferttt Me how you managed to get yourself and me into this dilemma.” Amie then recounted the way in which she was surprised, or taken a-back, as tlie sailors would say, and the displeasure the queen evinced at being refused tlie information that was desired—the sle'-pless night she had ex. perienced—and the immense pleasure she de rived at seeing him keep his promise, by com ing to the terrace very early, to have some talk of the way she must breall the intelligence to her majesty, of her having “ a married maid of honor, an occurrence rriUtit decidedly without precedent in the annals of court in* trigue and adventure. A smile played about the lips of Lord Brandestone, and a good humored expression forced itself upon his countenance, notwith standing his efforts to conceal it and appear serious, as he almost gravely said, “ We are in a sad predicament, truly.” “ i know it, dear George, hut do say how we are to get out !” exclaimed Amie, entroa tingly. “ Vou marched us into it.” “ Yes, very easily, George: but I can’t re treat.” “ There is no retreat, Amie.” “ What must be done, then ?’* “'Go s’trnit forward.* “ What, tell the whole truth?” “Yes, you must say, Amie—” “ What, dear George ?” “ That you are— not a maid of honor," “ I am quite offended at your jesting upon so seiious a subject,” said Amie, with a toss of her beautiful head, “ Why, it is True-*.ha, hH, hn!” laughed his lordship you have been my wife two montlis, you know, and there never was stfCh a curious incident before, as a—’’ “ What, pray,sir?” interrupted Amie, with her small while hand in a peculiarly close proximity to his lordship’s face. “Asa married inaid of honor.” But ere the completion of the Sentence, crack came that little tickler upon the face of his lordship, making him start with a sincerity of disposition that could admit of no question of the reality of the infliction. “ There,” said Amie, “ uow perhaps, you will be more serious.” “ You have given me a striking reason for so being my dear.” replied the wounded officer rubbing his cheek, “ Now inform me what I am to do, or you will receive further proof of cause and effect.” Not without a little balsam for my pain, Amie,” replied he, still persisting to chafe his face. “ Did I hurt its pretty cheek,” said Amie, in a tone nurses address to young, very infantine children. “There—it should not be ill-used;” and she ended tlie consohtory language with a threat to repeat it, if I e did not at once reveal to her the way to meet the difficulty ofinform ing the queen how tlie affair stood ; as it was quite clear that it must be known generally, and in detai\ forthwith. “ Confess all, love, and ask to be forgiven,” replied Lord Brandestone, striking a flower with his cane. “ If so, indeed, I shall do it in such a man. ner that her majesty will know it was all your impatience.” “ Not a doubt of it, dear.” “ You persuaded me not to wait until you were of age.” “1 did.” “ It was all your fault, and I shall lose the affection—l may say, sir, of the queen—be blazed in all the newspapers, and those vile magazines as—as- —as —” “ Lady Bradestone, or the married maid of honor,’’continued tl.e gallant officer, taking the wise precaution of having a considerable •space intervene between him and his lady. Oh ! I love !—methinks This world of love is fit for all the world, And that for gentle hearts another name W ould speak of gentler thoughts than the world owni. With conflicting feelings of hope, love and fear, Amie sought the presence of her royal mistress, whom she found reading, at an open window, looking into a conservatory filled with the t hoicest exotics. Birds of bi ight plumage, suspended in elegant cages from the roof—fountains spouting into basins contain* ing bright fish of varied colors, formed a re freshing and beautiful scene for the eye tod well upon. As soon as her majesty perceived tlie entrance of her attendant, she closed the bobk, which.by the way, was that of prayer, and with a welcoming smile said, “ My dear Amie, I am delighted to see you look so well and composed.* Come and sit dose, very close to me. There, uow tell me, for I most know directly, the rea. son of yesterday’s excitement.” With a slight tremor in her voice, and fear depicted ia tier countenance, Anne thus ex plained : “ Lord Bradestone wes a frequent guest at my deer father’s house, and was a great fovo. ite both with him snd me.

MECHANICS ar m. m. noah. “ Look at that Tailor, driving his barouche and horse,” said a wiskered dandy in Broad* way; “how can America over arrive at dis tinction, when all classification of persons is Thus annihilated, and the cofich of your latter runs against Ihe Wheels ofjQtlh Own tilbury. 1 ' This is the opinion, no doubt, of many who never earned a dollar by their owe industry. Bonaparte, the best judge of human nature Ttnd of Merit, never visited a great painting, or a specimen of ingenuity Or mechamfe art, that he did not, on taking leave, walk up formally to the artiste, or mechanic or engi* neer, and, taking off his hat, salute him with a low and respectful bow : it was a homage due to merit, and he always paid that debt. Noth, ing gives me wore pleasure than seeing a mechanic in his own coach, that is to sty if ho drives his own coach on the actual profits of his occupation ; if he mistakes the time, and begins too early, he is lost; for a mechanic who sets up his coach, and is compelled to set it down again, from a premature commence ment and not understanding his position, is a poor creature indeed, and runs ahead of his business. It is a custom, nnfl n bed custom. In Eng land, to look on tradesmen and mechanics as an inferior class of men, without reference" to their character or wealth. This, however, grows out of the distinctions and classifica tions of society in a monarchinl form of gov. emment, and keeps meclwinics, excepting in the city of London, continually Under the hen, and consequently prevents their ever attain ing in n high rank ; nnd we regret to add, that Wfe are tinctured a little too much in this country with the same feelings. Some ot ouf families accustomed to believe that there « in n mechanic something low and grovelling, prefer bringing up their sons to a profession, or in a counting house, or in a retail fancy store, and when they come of age, they have no capital to give their children to commence business with, and they drag out a waried and poor existence, depending on chance, and sel dom attaining affluence. This is not the case with the sober, industrious mechanic : he has a business, a capital of which he cannot be de. prived, and if he possess ingenuity and enter* prise, and, above all, sobriety and industry, he is very likely to attain fortune. The se cret, therefore, in this republican country, ia to give your sons a good education, an educa tion suitable for any profession, and then make mechanics of part of them, because, if they are temperate, ingenious, industrious and frugal, they must make a good living; but if these principles are engrafted on a good education, such mechanics not only become rich, but they become great. The education which qualifies them for the bar or the bench—for the highest honors of a profession, imparts a greater value to their mechanical pursuits, and enables them to take a high rank in the political world, sustained by a powerful interest, and if we had a larger por tion of mechanics in Congress than we now have, the country would repose in safety on their sagacity and intelligence. True there are privations nnd inconveniences in learning and working at a mechanical business—boys must be up early and late—live hard—work hard ; they must make great sacrifices of ease and comfort for a term of years, and then they will begin to realize the good results—to taste of the good fruit—besides what is above all price, their habits from fourteen to nineteen are formed in a proper and safe mould, free from indolence, vice and extravagance. The very dandy who turned up his honors ble nose at the Tailor driving his Barouche and pair was actually the son of a mechanic, and inherited a large fortune, which he does not know how to use. In a few years he will have dissipated it in folly and extravagance, and then become a loafer, and without know ing how to earn their bread, he will follow the meanest trade in the world, that of begging. Let parents who have several sons and not means to give them all fortunes, begin in time to bend their minds to the consideration of use ful occupations— * Just u the twig is bent The tree's inclined.’' The other day I held a colloquy on this ve. ry subject with one of my boys—a little fellow, full of sprightliness and ambition. “ Father,” said he, “ what trade am I to learn ?” “ A lady’s shoemaker, my son." “ A whut ?” said the little urchin, his full blue eyes widen ing with a stare of astonishment, and his broad cheeks reddening to the crimson of pulpit cushions—“a lady’s shoemaker ? Why, what is the use of my learning English, and French, and Spanish, grammar and tlie g'ohe*. arith* metic, dancing, and playips on the Addle, and composition, and elocution, and riding on horseback, if I’m only to he a lady’s shoema ker ?” “ Precisely so, my son—when you have finished your education, yon shall learn jto be a lady’s shoemaker; when yon hav*-
