Ilark, on the office hunter’s fall Its echoes lingering in mid air, From Walker down to swampy Ware ! Mount Yohah trembles In the blast, While on the ocean many a mast Its pennons flutter in the gale, And swells to bursting every sail. It is St. Francis winds his horn, And huntsmen brave salute the morn ; They’re on a hunt that's wild to-day— As snorting chargers dash away, Their riders raise a deafening cry, That wildly rings through earth and sky, For on the hunt that’s wild they go— While Cone and Miller wildly blow, Bob Trippe, Ben Hill are following fast, To frenzy wrought by maddening blast. Still on they speed—so well is blown, The rousing blast by Father Cone, E’en Tumlia wakes and joins the cry, As Andrews hurries yelling by ; And Fouche* is with the frenzied throng That o'er the mountains sweeps along. Hurrah my boys,” St. Francis cries ; Speed on till every charger dies ! The glorious game of place is ours— You’ll gain it, swear it by the powers ! Strike deep your rowels, mend your pace, It is a wild, exciting chase ! They gain in numbers as they go, Till joins them weighty Varnadoe ; Josh Hill as well as Ben puts in, To follow Miller who has been With every party ever known, E’en down to that accouched by Cone, And who has ground for every clique That could the name of office” speak, While parson Foster, parson Knowles Go with the crowd to mend their souls. Ah ! well . twould fail me to relate The third rate lawyers in the State, And small great men who go Where Cone and Miller loudly blow. All office-seekers join tbe chase, And ’tis a wild and frenzied race : Away they go with thundering speed, St Francis blowing in the lead : O'er hill and dell, and stream they fly, As if the devil followed nigh : Nor rest for them by night or day, Away they rush, away, away! ’Twas June when first St. Francis blew The blast that waked the hunting crew ; Through Summer's heat they wildly sped By hope of gaining office led, For four long months they wildly rushed. But ’tis October and are hushed The clarion bugle and the cry Which lately rent the very sky. One stream lias balked them in their course, For now the hunters, hallowing hoarse, Stem for a time Salt River’s wave. And then they find a watery grave A tablet stands beside that stream, And where its sparkling waters gleam, You there the mournful talo may read Os sturdy rider and his steed : Here lie St. Francis and bis men. Who wildly rushed from mount to glen On steeds as brave as e’er were sti ode, Or were by mailed heroes rode: Oh ! that wild hunt these horseman made, But here their bleaching bones are laid.” August Bth, 1855. * Mr. Phooshay must excuse Mr. Swift for pronouncing his name Pouch, as it is only a poetical license. The poet regrets bringing up reminiscences of the past, by pronouncing your name as your mother, but lie could not possi bly get Phooshay into the line—that name ma ing one syllable too many. Newspaper Borrowers. There is too much truth in the follow ing article from the Heading (Penn.) Gazette , to let it pass unnoticed—be sides, it has a degree of pertinency, in almost every place: The man who makes a practice of borrowing newspapers, is the meanest of all created beings. In our opinion, to be regularly in the habit of gaining en tertainment and information, without paying for it, from the paper which it costs the printer no little time, money and hard labor to prepare, is little, if any, short of downright stealing. And who, but the very meanest of the mean, would be guilty of such conduct, for the trifling expense of four cents a week ? Header, is the paper now in your hands your own—or are you stealing the pro duct of our toil, to save the paltry four pennies weekly—a dozen of which you throw away almost daily in tobacco, drink, or some other mere animal grat ification ? If so, blush for shame! Patent Baijy Spanker.— Mr. EHpli. Stubbs, a live Yankee, from Connecti cut, exhibited at the Museum his “Pat ent Back Action,” which, on being at tached to a baby of anv age, watches over it like a mother; makes it hush wheu it becomes naughty; obliges it to desist from swallowing thimbles, three cent pieces, pins, or any other food un suited to its stomach; compels it to go to sleep when it doesn’t want to; and if somewhat older, it sees that it keeps its hands off the sugar bowl and jam pots, besides making it keep its face cleau; and all by the power of its back action.

Ite Ilihje Unite* LINK THE SECOND. LOVE: Or the Adventures of an American Student. BY MISS C. XV. BARBER. (Concluded) CHAPTER IX. AN ADVENTURE. It was nearly dawn, when Smith heard | someone tapping cautiously at his win dow. He raised the casement and looked out. Sol stood on the outside, and briefly narrated to him, in a few hurried words, the events of the night. The student was soon dressed, and had leaped down from the casement to where Sol was standing. “ Hark!” said Gertrude, starting up, in the chamber which she occupied with her cousin, above her brother’s, “ Hark, Julia, I hear a noise !” “It was the wind shakiug the win dow,” said Julia, dreamily. “Do not be alarmed.” But when the girls dressed in the morning and descended to the breakfast table, young Smith was no where to be found. This.alarmed them somewhat at first, but a servant who had risen ear lier than the others that morning, assured them that she had seen him leave the stable, mounted on his Shetland pony, in company with Sol, the shoe-maker at Werrdock. All present instantly surmised that something unlocked for had occur red, to call him forth so early, and all agreed to maintain throughout the day the profoundest silence respec’ing his absence. It was well that they did so, for secrecy and despatch were what Smith and Sol most wished to secure. All through the day they rode hither and thither, enlisting and organising an arm ed baud. At night-fall silently and cau tiously the mountaineers collected to gether from every quarter, and placed themselves under the guidance of Sol, and the command of Smith. They pre sented a truly warlike appearance, as in Indian file, their bright swords and guns glittering in the moonlight, they moved steadily and noiselessly up the zig-zag pathway, which Sol had trodden the night before alone, in pursuit of Bob Clinch. In addition to their arms, al most every man carried a crow-bar.— They proceeded in utter sileuce until they reached the rock, where Sol had stopped the night before. It was again almost mid-night. Sol had secured an iron cane, and upon the surface of the rock he gave three measured strokes. This was doubtless a signal from the leader of the band for admission. Quick as thought the side of the rock opened, and a hundred crow-bars were inserted in tbe aperture to prevent its being clos ed. The robber inside, who managed the spring, by which it was secured, saw instantly that he had in some way been betrayed. He uttered a wild, hoarse scream, which was followed within by the glare of lights, the confused hum of voices and the clatter of fire-arms. But it was too late. Smith and his men were already in the cave, fighting man fully. They met with a desperate resis tance from the mountain band, however. For a long time “ In even scales the battle bung,” but tbe desperadoes, amounting in all to about forty, were after awhile safely put in chains. Smith then proceeded to strike the iron fetters off of Marchmont’s feet, while Ikddy Logan performed the same kind office for the Professor. “ Good Heavens, Smith !” exclaimed Marchmout, as he slowly tried to raise himself from the cramped position which he had so long occupied. “ Good Heav ens, Smith, how did you effect an entrance here ?” “ Might makes right, in such a case as this,” said Smith, laughing, “ but my good fellow, you look woe begone enough. What have they fed you on, here—sword blades and eagles’ livers, I dare say, or something as nutritious, I judge from your looks. How are you, Professor ? ’Pon my soul, I’m glad to see you, though I can’t say much for the reception room which you keep for your friends up here. Shake hands, though, when you get those cursed bracelets off of your arms. How are you, my good sir ? you too look rather the worse for wear.” “ Smith—Smith,” said Marchmont, hastily, “ turn around. I have an intro duction to make. Count Panache, whom you will recollect we had the pleasure of meeting at your boaiding house on Commencement eve, will enter directly. You will doubtless feel much gratified at this opportunity of renewing your acquaintance.” Smith turned, and saw gliding along the arch way behind him the leader of the band, Bob Clinch, alias Count Pa nache. He had wondered on his arrival at the rock at finding the door down, but he little suspected what awaited him inside. Smith sprung upon him as a tiger would grapple with its prey.— But the Frenchman was athletic, and had not Daddy Logan and others came to the young man’s aid, the leader of *Copy right secured. that dating gang of robbers might have escaped, to plan and execute vengeance against those who had so boldly bearded his men, like so many lions, in their lair. But he was secured after much struggling. “ Ay—ay !” said Daddy Logan, as he scanned him from head to foot—“how is your Countship to-night, and how is your darling darter in tile low country? I think I have met with you twice before, and consequently have a right to inquire a little after the health of your self and family.” The robber gnashed his teeth and ut tered a fearful oath. But nothing could exceed the delight of Sol. He shook hands with Marchmont over and over again. He stuck his arms up to his el bows in his pockets, and danced around him in the lurid glare of the torch lights, fie looked somewhat like a laughing, dancing elephant, if you can imagine such a sight. The Professor surveyed him quizzically, and with a smile. “ Forward, march !” said Smith.— “We are off now to my uncle’s castle on the hill, freebooters and all. Let each man guard well his charge. My uncle will find safe irons, and safe lodg ings too for the guests we bring him— He is noted for his hospitality, you all know.” The mountaineers laughed at this wit but the robbers broke out into a volley of oaths. ** Hush your mouths, every scape-grace of you !” said Smith. “ I’ll order irons for your tongues, before day light, if you don’t! You’d better keep quiet, my lads!” Slowly they began their descent, and before day-light all stood before the gate of the mountain castle. “Good Heavens, what is that?'’ ex claimed Gertrude, springing to her feet, i “ I hear the sound of arms and the trampling of feet, and above it all, I can recognize my brothers voice, issuing commands. Are we attacked, or do they bring to us Bob Clinch and his men ? If so, where is Marchmont ?” “ And the Professor?” said Julia, who had also jumped up, and now stood leaning over her cousin’s shoulder, and peering into the dim, gray light, just breaking over the mountains without. “ Where is tbe Professor ?” “ There they are,” said Gertrude joy fully—“ there is Marchmont and Profes sor M , and my brother, and Daddy i Logan, and a host of others, unshackled I and free, but who are these in irons? It is Bob Clinch and his men. I know it. The terror of the mountains comes to us this morning in chains, but poor March mont ! bow much he has suffered—how dreadfully he looks! How little did I think when he handed me into the car riage at Ellis 1 dinner house, on that fatal day, that we should meet under such circumstances as these. But good heav ens! Julia, how pale and cold you are growing. You will swoon away again through joy.” The garrulous girl had hardly ceased speaking before there was a loud knock at the door. A female servant came bursting in, half frantic with excitement and gladness. “ Bob Clinch and his men arc all here,” she said, “and are safely ironed. I want rhe key to the large barn. Mas sa says they must be stowed away there and fed and watched, until they can bo taken to jail.” “The key is not in here, you goose,” said Gertrude, laughing—“your master has the key.” “ Sure enough !” she said. “ I forgot what I was about. Ain’t you glad, Miss Gertrude —ain't you glad?” and the girl went out dancing, as if she stepped on air. It was a great time at the brown house. All day long people came to gaze at the unfortunate men, who had been for so many years, at stated peri ods, the scourge and terror of the moun tains. And their released prisoners came in for a good share of attention too. — Again and again, they related all the particulars of their attack and capture. An armed band had surrounded them, before they were aware of their danger, and found them completely unarmed.— The driver was killed in the skirmish which ensued. Marchmont and the Professor had been robbed of everything, and inarched off to this cavern in the mountains. The carriage was trans ported thither on the shoulders of Clinch’s men, and the horses taken off— tlioy did not know where. The marau ders had designed the capture of both carriages, but the first one had passed before they made their descent, and fear ful of detection, they had concluded to let it escape. Marchmont and his companion had had a dreary, wretched time of it. They had notone article of wearing apparel in which they could now appear before their friends with any semblance of neat ness—not a dollar of money that they could call their own. But the nows of the arrest spread like wild-fire, and be fore night a neighboring lodge of Odd Fellows bad had a called meeting, and gifts of all descriptions were pouring in upon them. “ I think,” said Marchmont, laughing, while surveying the piles of snowy lin en placed at their disposal, and the neat suits of clothes sent to their meas ure, “ I think, Professor, we have been the gainers in this adventure. All hail TWO DODDAHS A-YEAR, IN’ ADVANCE. to the Love, which Odd-Fellows every where manifest, one towards another I” CHAPTER XI. CONCLUSION. All novel-writers take unwarrantable liberties with their readers. They some times leap, at one bound, over half k century, and introduce you to the grand children of persons whom you last saw, figuring about as belles in the ball room. We do not intend treating those who have kindly followed our American Student thus far in his Adventures a mong the mountains, in any such an off hand, disrespectful manner. We only ask them to skip over the period of one year. An eventful period it certainly was, for in it the banditti were tried and executed, according to the laws of our country, and MaVchmont and the Pro fessor both found themselves ardent and successful suitors—the one for the hand of Gertrude Smith—the other for that of Julia White, but we have neither the time nor the patience, nor the skill re quisite to the task of narrating all the minutiae, attendant upon these events. We leave them for the imaginations of our readers to picture. We next take them to a fete night, at the brown castle on the bill. There was a double wedding there—March mont and Gertrude—the Professor and Julia—linked hands and hearts for life. Smith was there too, going in his si range, harnrn scarum way from room to room, entertaining everybody and finding en tertainment, as was his wont. Daddy Logan, Mistress Alice, and the children were all there in Sunday array, and there, free and satisfied, strolled many a mountaineer, who in the first days of our tale never expected to be honored with an introduction to the inside of Squire White’s grand house on the hill. Somehow an invisible bond of brother hood had sprung up, or been discovered by the Squire, as already existing be tween himself and his ronjh, but honest neighbors. Some of the knowing ones said that that bond of union was Odd- Felloicship —that the link of Love in its mystic chain was only being kept bright and untarnished, as it should ever be.— It tnay be so. Never having been ad mitted into the secrets of the order, we cannot be supposed to know how it was, but one thing is certain, Squire White and his neighbors got on swimmingly together ever after the memorable arrest of Bob Clinch and his desperate gang. And happiest, most conspicuous among the many guests present on that fete night, was ugly Sol. During the year which we have quite skipped over, a nice little shop full of admirable imple ments for his trade, had sprung up, as if by magic, not far from Daddy Logan s door, and customers appeared on every hand. Squire White, Marchmont, the Professor and others, had not forgotten the dwarf, lie was as happy as people often get to be in this lower world, and lived many years afterwards, blessing and blessed. How little does it matter about the roughness of the casket, if the jewel within is truly estimable ! * * * * Here, gentle reader, we were just pre paring to stay our tired hand, and to scrawl “ Fists” in the most approved characters at the end of our Link of Love, when that same inquisitive busy bed y, who interrupted us at the cud of our tale of Friendship again stopped us and forbade the flourish. She declares that it will never do to end the Link thus. She wants to know what became of that student whom we left at the thresh hold of active life, panting like a young lion for the strife, “ Did he win the laurels he so much coveted ? ’ Alas! Ambition—what is it ? Too often nothing hut a youthful dream. — And Fame —what is that? A breath, —a shadow —an evanescent something which vanishes away ! Go among the wrecks and ruins, and graves, and decay ing monuments of the old world, and ask “ What is Fame l —what is Ambi tion ?” The dust at your feet will take up the wail of the Wise Man and cry out “vanity of vanitie in answer to your queries. Crayton died, in one of our Southern cities, of that scourge of the South, yel low fever, before lie entered upon the practice of his profession. His pliysician said the disease was perhaps brought on iu his case by exposure to the night air, while pursuing his studies. His mid night vigils over his books were too long and too intense. Ho lies in an humble grave, in the potter’s field, “Unwept, unhouored and unsung.” Over his remains might be written “ sic transit gloria mundi.” “ Thus passes away” (the would be) “glory of the world.” Howard married, and lived long and happy, surrounded by ail that he bad coveted : “ W ll e , Children and Fiukndb.’’ THE END. wmmmKsmmsmsm Happiness is promised, not to the learned, but to the good. Giants are seldom overlooked. The game of fashionable life is to play hearts against diamonds. Pleasure may be a shadow, but it us es, a heap of substances. Nothing else than sin can separate us from God; but the least sin cau do so. NO. 32. An Appropriate Present. The following is taken from the Lou isville (Kentucky) Democrat , and may well be called an appropriate recognition of the claims of George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal , to immortal re membrance : Louisville, Aug. 7, 1855. George D. Prentice. Esq.: Dear Sir : I have been requested and instructed by the ladies of Bardstown to present to you, in their name, the urn which the bearer of this note will deliver to you as a slight testimonial of their appreciation of your distinguished servi ces in behalf of the American party. They feel that the country is much indebted to you for your devotion to the great principles on which our govern ment and party are based, viz: tho burning of the churches of the impudent Papists, the roasting, stewing and frying alive of the vile Dutch and Irish women and infants, so victoriously, triumphant ly and gloriously achieved in this city on last Monday night by men whoso souls were inspired and ams nerved at your patriotic instigation. This urn contains some of the trophies won by the “ American” party on Mon day, viz: the hearts of Dutchmen, the ashes of Irishmen, the brains of anti- American infants, and a portion of the burned flesh of Quinn, (brother of tho deceased Popish priest,) all- of whom were burned alive on Monday night, for the safety and perpetuity of our nation al welfare. The offering will be tho more acceptable, we are assured, when, you are informed that the charred and burned particles, and the brains of in fants herewith tendered, are the remains, the identical remains of the women and infants whoso shamefully fired upon and killed the brave men of the great Amer ican party, who died “ breathing lofty’ aspirations in the cause of liberty, tho Union, and the national prosperity.” Accept, sir, this holocaust—these re mains of women and rascally Dutch and Irish suckling infants—as a testimonial of your devotion to the protection of “ American rights.” SAMUEL BLACKSMITH. Cheap Advertising. It has become quite fashionable for dealers to paint their cards upon side walks, fences, <fcc. Yesterday we were amused at the handicraft of some wag gish clerk, who finding a business card painted upon a flagstone, pencilled over it in neat black capitals— In memory of by way of a prefix. We saw a man beat at this game, at Cold water, the other day. Upon the fence, near the depot, was painted, in big black letters— Go to Markham's , under which some rival dealer had painted ly you jcant to be skinned. This beats the quack medicine man, who painted up— Take, Dr. Ilobcnsack's Pills and along came a tract vender, who stuck up under it, so as to continue the sense, Prepare to meet thy God. A Iriend at our elbow suggests that lie saw in Brooklyn, the other day, a poster reading— Lecture to night by Mr. Chapin, under which protruded, in big red let ters, The most successful Vermifuge in the World. Gratis advertisers may as well beware of cross readings.— Detroit Advertiser. An Illusion Dispelled. —A lawyer built himself an office in the form of a hexagon, six-sided. The novelty of the structure attracted the attention'of some Irishmen who were passing by. They made a full stop, and viewed the build ing very critically. The lawyer, some what disgusted t their curiosity, lifted up the window, put his head out, and addressed them— “ What do you stand there for, like a pack of blockheads, gazing at my office —do you take it for a church ?” ” I abb and be Christ,” answered one of them, “ I was just thinking so, till I saw the devil poke his head out of the window.” An ox’s gall will set any color—cot ton or woolen. I have seen the colors of calico, which faded by one washing, fixed by it. An ounce of quicksilver, beat up with the white of two eggs and put on with a feather, is the cleanest aud surest bed bug poison. Punch teaches book-keeping in throe words never lend them.” Bo always employed doing something —idleness never pays. Good is never more effectu’d'y per formed than whon it is prodneed by slow dogroes.— Du Moy. Men’s judgements are a parcel of their fortunes; and things outward do draw the inward quality after them to suffer all alike. What is the value of religion!—- It’s valeo is of 6uch magnitude, that Eternity cannot answor the question !
