“ A poet’s hand and prophet’s lire,
“ Struck the wild warblings of his lyro.”
From “ Curiosity,” <i poem—hy Charles Sprague.
THE NEWS.
Behold the sick man in his easy chair,
Burr'd fromthe busy crowd and bracing air;
How every passing tridc provas its power
To while away the long, dull, lazy hour.
As down the pane the rival raindrops chase,
Curious he’ll watch to see which wins the
race;
And let two dor-s beneath his window-fight,
He’ll shut his Bible to enjoy the sight.
So with each new-born nothing rolls lire day,
Till some kind neighbor stumbling in his
way,
Draws up bis ebair the sufferer to amuse,
And makes him happy, while fie tells—the
News!
The News! our morning, noon, and even
ing cry:
Day unto day repeats it till we die.
For this the cit, the critic and the fop,
Dally the hour aw ay in s’ shop;
For this the gossip takes her daily route,
And wears your threshold and your pati
ence out;
For this we leave the parson in the lurch.
And pause topruttle on the way to church;
E'en when sonic cotlin’d friend we gather
round,
'We ask, “ What News!” then lay him in
the ground;
To this tiie breakfast owes its sweetest zest,
I’cr this the dinner cools, the bed remains
unpressed.
What gives each ta!e of scandal to the
street,
The kitchen’s wonder, and the parlor’s treat?
See the pert housemaid to the key-hole fly,
When husband storms, wife frets, or lovers
sigh;
See Tom your pockets ransack for each note,
And read your secrets while he cleans your
ooat;
See, yes, to listen see, even Madam deign,
When the snug sempstress pour-, her ready
strain.
No tongue so vile but finds a kindred car;
Sow ii't Hies each tale of laughter, ehamo, or
folly,
Caught by Paul Pry and carried home to
Polly;
On this each foul calumniator leans,
Full well he knows what latent wildfire lies
In the close whisper and the dark surmise;
A mufP.ed word, a wordless wink has woke
A warmer throb than if a Dexter spoko.
EYE’S CURSE ON CAIN —Sj Byrm,
May ail the curses
Oflil’e be cn him! and hi3 i juries
Drive him forth o’er the wiiderne -,, like us,
From Eden, till his children do by him
As he didoy las brother: May tiie swords
And wings of fiery cherubim pursue him
liy day and night —snakes spring up in his
path —
Earth’s fiuits be ashes in his mouth—the leaves
On which ire lays h - head io sleep be strew’d
W ith scorpions! M v his dreams be of his vic
tim!
1! is waking a continual dread of death!
May the clear rivers turn to blood, as he
Stoops down testing them with his raging lip!
May every element shun or change to him!
May he live in the pangs which others die with!
A nd death itself wax something worse than deaih
To him who first acquainted him with man!
Hence, fratricide! henceforth that word is Cain,
Through ail the coming myriads of mankind,
Who shall abhor thee, though thou wort their
sire!
May the grass wither from thy feet! the woods
Deny t.hee shelter! earth a home! the dust
A grave! thesun his light! and heavenher God!

[ COMMITMICALED.]
AN OLD SONG ABOUT OLD GRIMES.
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne’er shall see him more—
Reused to wear an old bine coat
Ail buttoned down before.
Ilis heart was open as the day;
His feelings all were true —
His hair was some inclin'd to gray,
He wore it in a queu.
Whene’er was heard the voice of pain*
His breast with pity burned—
Tiie large round head upon his cane
From ivory was turned.
Tlius, ever prompted at pity’s call,
lie knew no base design—
His eyes were dark and rather small,
His nose was aqueline.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was trne—
His coat had pocket holes behind,
His pantaloons were bine.
Unarmed—the sin which earth pollutes,
He passed securely o’er—
And never wore a pair of boots
For thirty years or more.
But poor old Grimes is now at rest.
Nor fears misfortune’s frown—
He had a double-breasted vert,
The stripes ran up-und down.
He, modest merit sought to find.
And pay it its desert;
He had no malice in his mind,
N or rutiles on his shirt.
Jlis neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay—
He wore large buckles on his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His know ledge, hid from public gaze,
He did not bring to view—
Nor mad<- a noise* town meeting days.
As many people do.
II is worldly goods he never threw
In ti nst .to fortune’s chance:!—
Hut lived (as all his brothers do,)
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturbed by anxious carets,
Hir peaceful maim uts ran—
And every body said he was
A line old gentleman.
G< -d people ill give cheerful thou m

“Mirth, that wrinkled care derides,
“And Laughter, holding both his sides.”
MATRIMONIAL ANECDOTE.
The Rev. Mr. U , a respectable cler
gyman in ths interior of the state, relates
the following anecdote.—A couple came to
him to be married, and after the knot was
tied, the bridegroom addressed him with—
llow much do you ax Mister?”
‘-Why,” replied the Clergyman, “I gener
ally take whatever is offered me. Some
times more, sometimes less. I leave it to the
bridegroom.”
“Yes, but how much do you ax, 1 say,” re
peated the happy man.
“I have just said,” returned the clergy
man “ that 1 left it to the decision of the bride
groom, some give me ten dollars; some live;
some three; some two; someone ; and some,
only a quarter of a one.”
“A quarter, ha?” said the bridegroom:
“wal, that's as reasonable as a body could ax.
Let me see, I’ve got the money.” He took
out his pocket book, there was no money
there : he fumbled in all his pockets, but not
a sixpence could he find. “Dang it‘” said
he, {“thought l had some money with me,
but I recollect now, ‘twas in my tot her trow
ser3\pockct. Iletty, have you got sich a
thing trsfwo shilbngs about ye.”
“Me !” said the bride, with a mixture of
shame and indignation, “1 am astonished at
ye, to come here to be married without a
cent of money to pay for it! If I’d known it
afore, I would’nt a come a step with ye , you
might have gone alone to be married for all
me.”
“Yes, but consider, II tty,” said the bride
groom, in a soothing tone, “we’re m;rri<d
now, and it can't be helped; if you’ve got
sick a thing as a collide of shillings—”
“Here, take ’em” interrupted the angry
bride, who. during this spe ch, had been
scearching in her work-bag; “and don't you,”
said she, with a significant motion of her fin
g r, “don’t you never serve me another sieh
a trick.”
A CATEGORICAL answer.
It may seem a matter of no extraordinary
difficulty to give a plain answer to a plain
question; and yet it is an art that requires
some (rouble to learn. In all half-civilized
nations,the inquirer for tho most simple thing,
is met hy an enigma, for an answer; and, a
mong the peasantry of Scot land and Ireland,
civilized as the general communities may be,
the system often seems to l*e studied evasion
This dialogue is the model of thousands in
the Hibernian isle:—“ Is the the nearest road
to Cork 1” “Is it to Cork you are going ?!’
“ Yes, but my question is, as to tbe n nr.-, t
road” “Why, this roa lists near a t.’ 0 one
the other side of the hill; for neither 01 them
is any road at all.” “ T hen which way ought
Ito go?” “t)h, that dept nds on your honor’s
own liking. P rhaps you wouldn’t like to
go back again?’ “Certainly not. But ct
word for all, my good fellow; do you knot v -
thing about any kind of road her ??’ “ TL ro
now, if y u honor hid asked th t be for , I
could have told you at once.” “Out vt it ft
(hen.” “Why the truth is, your honor, !
lam a stranger in these parts; and th" L t
thing you aan do is to stop till somebody
comes that knows all about the way.” “Stu
pid scoundrel ? why did you not say so at
first?” “Stupid? that’s all my thanks. But
why did not your honor ask me if I belonged
to the place? that would have settled the flu
siness. Take a fool’s advice and stop where
you arc!”

PROSPECT*#
OF THE
K&QSSJ AEWSSEESSEs
And Agricultural and Mercantile lutdligtncer.
MY recent relinquishment of a participation
- in the editorial labors of an old ami well
established jeumal, would seem to require but
lew preliminary remarks, in the proposed under
taking, were it not, that they are usually deman
ded by public expectation, and sanctioned by
custom. As there is no good reason why this
“unie-hocOrel observance'* should be disregard
ed in the present instance, I shall submit an epit
ome of my principles, and the course which shall
be observed in conducting anew journal. The
object ef the proposed publication being purely
what its title implies, supercedes the necessity
of that political commentary which the doctrines
of the day have usually demanded; yet, as my
former professions are Held with unabated at
tachment, and there being no neutral ground, in
the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai
ly arise, as to both men and measures —it follows,
that I should not only make an exposition ef my
political tenets, but also, that they should be
boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. 1 have
ever indulged au ardent devotion to Republican
ism, as the term was understood by its advocates
in ’9B—a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos
tility to every thing like constructive or implied
powers—an extension of equal justice to all par
ties—that all power is inherent in and derived
from the people, as the original source and ulti
mate tribunal —the independence and distinct so
vereignty of the States, and their confederacy as
a Union, under a government limited and actual
ly defined in its powers. These are the promi
nent articles of my political faith, and believing
in their correctness, shall abide by them in every
trial.
Among the many topics of deep intercut that
agitate the people of all classes, is the exercise
ot unwarrantable governmental influence on the
industry and resources of the country, and the
unconstitutional expenditure cf the public treas
ure to objects of Internal Improvement-—measures
too frequently destitute of general benefit, and of
tentimes marked by a spirit of partiality, selfish
ness and injustice. It would be criminal for one
“seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise
of the duties which belong to the Press, to ob
serve, with callous iudiflercnee, tho causes which
have produced, and the effects which have re
sulted from the latjtudinary construction of tho
Constitution. The dangerous consequences which
may ensue, are already indicated by the excited
feelings of the country. lam deeply impressed
that wrong has been done, and evil tolerated—
yet, with a spirit of forbearance, it would be bet
ter for the oppressed to hear they - evils whilst
they are tolerable, than “lly to those they know
not cf.”
The present is an era in the history of our gov
ernment, distinguished for improvement. The
lover of his country beholds it on its “return
march” to its original purity and principles.—
Already has the distinguished head of the gov
eruincitt, said —“T 1.6 successful operation of tlie
federal system can only be preserved by confin-'
ing it to the few and simple, but yet important
objects for which it was designed.” Tins is a
guarantee, that the purpose of the present Exe
cutive of the Union and his supporters, is an ef
fort to restore the Constitution to its original
healthy and unimpaired condition. lam happy
:..jcord with the Administration and its friends
in !■ .rise and well directed course which is
pius. cd by them.
! . time was, when to dissent from the mea
of any of the prominent parties of our State,
an attachment to any of the others, or to their
;:.on divi.-guished organs, implied an hostility
- • v nu ny w hich frequently had no bounds,
an ir< adored “ Wisdom, Justice, and Mod'rut ion,’’'
a empty and absurd profession. The times and
eirviun:.unices have now become more congenial
to' bettor feelings: the perplexing difficulties
l icit have surrounded us—those emanating
abroad, and fostered at home, have subsided,
with the acknowledgment of our rights, and the
successful accomplishment of nearly all the ends
which we have c< ntended for. 1 can review my
past course in relation to State affairs, with che st
ing approbation; my future efforts will be inti
mately connected with the past; and it is hoped,
without offence to an adverse party. The writer
does not believe in the infallibility of man, nor
in their perfection as a party; it will therefore be
my endeavor to support worthy men, and ap
prove such orthodox measures as may emanate
from genuino patriotism and unadulterated re
publicanism —such measures as will best answer
the ends of our free government, and of our
State’s interest;—such men as will “defend the
rights of the People, the Sovereignty of the
States, and the Constitutional authority of the
Union against all encroachments.”
It. shall be my studious endeavor to render the
Intelligencer an Agricultural and Mercantile ve
hicle: to effect it, 1 shall hasten to possess my
self of all the necessary materials which these
ample subjects furnish, to unfold every species
of information which will be thought to instruct,
to interest, and to please. It is believed, that
the mutual conjunction of interest, between the
Merchant and Planter, cannot fail to render ac
ceptable to one, whatever may benefit the other.
My efforts shall be used to procure the earliest
and most useful mercantile information, and lav
it before the public; and it will be my desire to
go into Rural Affairs, and garner the choicest and
best offerings for my Agricultural readers.
