Mother, my heart is sad, Pain hath oppressed me many a weary day; And thou, the nurse my childhood’s sorrow had, Art far away. The short, calm summer night To others brings refreshing, quiet rest; I, cheerless, wait the lingering hour of light, Alone unblest. The day drags on with pain, I tire of light long ere the sun is gone ; I try my boons—my pen—my bed, in vain, And suffer on. Yet hope is with the still That Health again my joyful guest may be, Ere thou, so distant, learn that I am ill,, Or sigh for me. B. ‘ There 15 something in these stanzas, tc us inex pressibly pathetic and mournful; they are indeed 4 beautiful exceedingly,’and such as any of our own poets might well be proud of.’ —Edinburg Review. LINES ON PASSING THE GRAVE OF MY SISTER. BY FLINT. On yot'der shore, on yonder shore, Now verdant with the depth of shade, Beneath the white-arrued sycamore, There is a little infant laid. Forgive this tear —\ brother weeps— ’Tis there the faded ffowret sleeps. She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone, And summer’s forests o’er her wave ; And sighing winds at autumn moan Around the little stranger’s grave, As though they murmured at the fate Os one so lone and desolate. In sounds that seem like Sorrow’s own Their funeral dirges faintly creep; Then deep’ning to an organ tone, In all their solemn cadence sweep, And pour, unheard,along the wild, Their desert anthem o’er a child. She came, and passed. Can I forget, How we whose hearts had hailed her birth, Ere three autumnal suns had set, Consigned her to her 1110 h r Earth! Joys and their memories pass away; But griefs are deeper ploughed than they. We laid her in her narrow cell, We heaved the soft, mould on her breast, And parting tears, like rain drops, fell Upon her lonely place ol rest. May angels guard it—may they bless Her slumbers in the wil ierness. She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone; For. all unheard, on yonder shore, The sweeping flood, with torrent moan, At evening lifts its solemn roar, As, in one broad, eternal tide. The rolling waters onward glide. There is no marble monument, There is no stone with graven lie, To tell of love and virtue blent In one almost too good to die. We need no such useless trace To point us to her resting place. She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone; But midst the tears and April showers, The Genius of the Wild hath strown His germs of fruit, his fairest flowers. And cast his robe of vernal bloom, In guardian fondness o’er the toinb. She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone; But yearly is her grave turf-dressed, And still the summer vines are thrown, In annual wreaths across her breast, And still the sighing autumn grieves, And strews the hallowed spot oith leaves. RELIGION IN WOMEN. How often have young men propounded to themselves and others the question, what is the first quality to be sought for in the choice of a wife, and how diverse have been the answers to this important interrogatory. The gay and thoughtless will point you to beauty, wealth, accomplishments ; others, who look beyond the tinsel of the exterior, regard amiability and feeling as the bright est jewels in the female character; others still, who have searched deeper into the springs of human action, and know well the fountains from vviience flow the purest and most enduring happiness, wili give the only true answer to the inquiry, viz: a strong Christian faith, sentiments and practice. Religion is every where lovely, but in wo men particularly so. Il makes her but a lit tle lower lhan the angels. It purifies her heart, elevates her feelings and sentiments, hallows her affections, sheds light on her un derstanding, and imparts dignity to her whole character. Nor does its influence end here. 1 It beams in the glance of the eye, It sits on the lips in a smile, It checks the ungracious reply, It enraptures, but cannot beguile.’ Woman, from her very nature, is destined to drink deeper from the cup of sorrow and suffering than the other sex. Her trials are chiefly of the heart, and consequently the hardest to be borne. She is seldom, perhaps, called upon to contend with those formidable evils and temptations which arouse all the energies of our nature 10 repel their attack, but is beset (from the time she merges into womanhood) bv a thousand petty trials, and annoyances, which, while they seem too in significant to require much effort lo resist, are at the same time most difficult to over come. Religion alone can disarm Ihese trials and enable tier to preserve that equanimity and peace of mind so essential to happiness. It is her talisman. To it she flies in the hour of her disappointment, and from it never fails to derive consolation and support. Yet how few, in their selection for life, regatd this most important qualification. How few think to penetrate info the secret chambers of the soul, to see what is there hidden within so fair an exterior—if there the vestal lamp sheds its clear and constant ray. External attractions may lead us captive fora time; feeling tnay send a thrill of exquisite joy through tie heart of the recipient; talent may call forth unbounded admirations; but if religion make no part of the character, the key stone to the arch is wanting, and the fabric will ere long crumble and fall. It should be remembered that life is not a sunshine. Bright as the world may be be fore us, we cannot live long without encoun tering many sorrows, and disappointments and troubles. They are sent by a kind Pro vidence to sever the chords which bind us too closely to earth, to turn our thoughts in wards upon ourselves, and upwards to heaven. While our bark glides calmly on a summer’s sea, with the blue sky above and bright waters around us, the blandishments of youth, beauty and accomplishments may satisfy the heart; hut let us be overthrown by the storm and the tempest, and where is the support they yield ? Let darkness enter your dwelling, and the pleasure you derive from them is forgotten, and you look in vain to the same source for relief. Let death in vade your social circle, and ‘ay its ruthless hand on your first born,shrouding all around you in darkness and gloom; and where do you look for a rav of hope? It is under cir cumstances like these that religion transforms a wife into a ministering angel. She will hind up your bleeding heart, lead you to the fountain of living waters, and change gloom and despondency into light and cheerfulness. As the sun in setting lights up every hill top and tree and cottage, so religion gilds with its heavenly beams every feeling, enjoyment and occupation. Most persons, on entering the married state, (particularly in youth,) fancy it a con dition of unmingied joy and pleasure —that they are within a charmed circle, the bounds of which no sorrow or trouble can pass. I hey forget the new and intense responsibilities that are incurred, and the trials which must necessarily accompany them. Not that these should deter any one from taking this most important step; for it is the high road to im provement and happiness. What are the boasted pleasures of intellect compared with those of affection ? The latter are as truly heaven-burn and immortal as the former ; t.;ev are the earliest developed in our nature, and the last touched by the finger of decay. Woman! thy empire is the heart, and he who would know the capacity of the human soul for happiness must yield himself to thy sway. From Mr. Stephens’s new ‘ Incidents of Travel. TIIE BATTLE OF GROKOW. The battle of Grokovv, the greatest in Eu rope since that of Waterloo, was fought on the 25th of February, IS3I, and the place where I stood commanded a view of the whole ground. The Russian army was under the command of Diebitsch, and consisted of one hundred and forty two thousand infantry, forty thousand cavalry, and three hundred and twelve pieces of cannon. This enor mous force was arranged in two lines of com batants, and a third of reserve. Its left wing between Warsaw and the marshes of the Vistula, consisted of four divisions of infantry of forty seven thousand men, three of caval ry of ten thousand five hundred, and one hundred and eight pieces of cannon; the right consisted of three and a half divisions of infantry of thirty one thousand men, four divisions of cavalry of fifteen thousand seven hundred and fifty men and fifty two pieces of cannon. Upon ihe borders of the great for est opposite ihe Forest of Elders, conspicu ous from where I stood was placed the re serve, commanded bv the Grand Duke Con stantine. Against this immense army the Poles opposed less than fifty thousand men, and a hundred pieces of cannon, under the command of Gen. Skrizynecki. At break of day the whole force of the Russian right wing, with a terrible fire of fif ty pieces ofartillery, and columns of infantry, charged the Polish left with the determination of carrying it by a single and overpowering effort. The Poles with six thousand five hundred men, and twelve pieces of artillery, not yielding a foot of ground, and knowing they could hope for no succor, resisted this attack for several hours until the Russians slackened their fire. About ten o’clock the plain was suddenly covered with ‘he Russian forces, issuing from the cover of the forest, seeming one undivided mass of troops. Two hundred pieces oi cannon posted on a single line, commenced a fire which made the earth tremble, and was more terrible than the old est officers, many of whom had fought at Ma rengo and Austerktz, had ever beheld. The Russians now made an attack upon the right wing, hut failed in this as upon the left; Di 'ebitsch directed the strength of his army against the Forest of Elders, hoping to di vide the Poles into two parts. One hundred and twenty pieces of cannon were brought to bear on this one point, and fifty battalions in cessantly pushed to the attack kept up a scene of massacre unheard of in the annals of war. A Polish officer who was in tfie battle, told me that the small streams which intersected the forest were so choked with dead that the infantry marched directly over their bodies. The fieroic Poles with twelve battallions, for four hours defended the forest against the tremendous attack. Nine times they were driven out, and nine times, by a series of admirably executed manoeuvres, they repulsed the Russians with immense loss. Batteries now concentrated in one {mint,were m a moment flurried to another, and the ar tillery advanced to the charge like cavalry sometimes within a hundred feet of the ene my’s columns and the r e opened a murderous fire of grape. At three o’clock, the Generals, many of whom were wounded, the most of whom had their horses shot tinder them, and fought on foot at the head of their divisions, resolved upon a retrogade movement so as to draw ihe Russians on the open plain. The Russian troops then debouched from ihe forest a cloud of Russian cavalry, with several regiments of neavy ctiriassiers at their head to the attack. Cononel Pientka, who had kept up an unre mit ing fire from his battery for five hours with perfect sang froid, upon a disabled piece of cannon, remained to give another effective fire, then left at full gallop a post which lie had so long occupied under the terrible fire of the enemy’s artillery. This rapid move ment of his battery animated the Russian forces. The cavairv advanced on a irot up on the line of a battery of rockets. A terri ble discharge was poured into their ranks,and the horses galled to madness by the flakes ofi fire, became wholly ungovernable and broke, 1 away, spreading disorder in every direction ; the whole body swept helplessly along the! fire of the Polish infantry, and in a few min utes was so completely annihilated, that of a regiment of cuirassiers who bore inscribed on their helmets the ‘ Invincibles,’ not a man es caped. The wreck of the routed cavalry, pursued by the lancers, carried along in its! flight the columns of infantry. A general j retreat commenced, and the cry of ‘ Poland i forever!’ reached the walls of Warsaw to cheer the hearts of its anxious inhabitants. — j So terrible was the fire of that day, that in ! the Polish army there was not a single gene- > ral or staff'officer Who had not his horse killed ! or wounded under him; two thirds of the of- j ficers, and perhaps of the soldiers, had their j clothes pierced with balls, and more than a ; tenth part of the army were wounded. Thir- j ty thousand Russians and ten thousand Poles! were left on the field of battle; rank uponj rank lay prostrate on the ground, and the! Forest of Elders was so strewed with bodies ! that it received from that day the name of the ‘ forest of the dead.’ The Czar heard with dismay, and all Europe with astonish ment, that the crosserof the Balkan had been foiled under the wails of Warsaw. All day, my companion said, the cannona ding was terrible. Crowds of citizens, of both sexes and all ages, were assembled on the spot where we stood, earnestly watching the progress of the battle, sharing in all its vicissitudes, in the highest state of excite ment as the clearing up of the columns of j smoke showed when the Russians or Poles! had tied ; and he described the entry of the remnant of the Polish army into Warsaw as ; sublime and terrible; their hair and faces j were begrimed with powder and blood ; their armor shattered and broken, and all, even dying men, were singing pat. mlic songs; and when the fourth regiment, among whom was a brother of my companion, and who had particularly distinguished themselves in the; batile, crossed the bridge and filed slowly] through the streets, their lances shivered l against the cuirasses of the guards, their hel mets broken, their faces black and spotted with Mood, some erect, some tottering, and some barely able to sustain themselves in the saddle; above the din of the chorus of pa’ri cfflc gongs rose the distracted erres of rnoth- ers, wives, daughters and lovers —seeking among this broken band, for forms dearer lhan life, many ol whom were then sleeping on the battle field. My companion told me that he was then a lad of seventeen, and had begged with tears to be allowed to accompany his brother; hut his widowed mother extorted Iron) him a pro mise that he would not attempt it. All day lie had stood with his mother on the very spot where we did, his hand in hers, which she grasped convulsively, as every peal of can non seemed Ihe knell of her son; and when the lancers pissed, she sprang from his side ; as she recognised in the drooping figure of an officer, with h:s spear broken in hrs hands, the figure of the gallant boy. He was then reeling in his saddle, his eye was glazed and vacant, and he died that night in their arms. Eclipses. —The ancients had terrible ideas ol Eclipses; supposing them presages of some dreadful events. Plutarch assures us, ihat in Rome it was not allowed to talk publicly of any natural causes ot Eclipses; toe popular opinion running so strongly in favor of their supernatural production, at least those of the Moon; lor as to those of the Sun, they had some idea that they were caused by tire in terposition of the Moon, but were at a loss lor a body to interpose between us aud the Moon, which they thought must he the wav, il the Eclipses of the Moon were produced by natural causes. They therefore made a great noise with brazen instruments, and set up loud shouts during the eclipses of the Moon. Olliers attributed Ihe eclipses of the Moon to the arts of Magicians, who, hv their enchantments, plucked her out of Heaven, and made her skim over the grass. The natives of Mexico kept fast during j the time of the Eclipses; and particularly their women, who beat and abused them selves, drawing blood from their arms, &.c., imagining the Moon has been wounded by the Sim, 111 some quarrel between them. The Chinese have an idea that Eclipses are occasioned by great dragons, who are ready to devour the Sun and Moon; and therefore, when they perceived an Eclipse, they ratile drums and brass kettles, till tbev think the monster, terrified by the noise, lets go his prey. The superstitious notions entertained of Eclipses, have been sometimes of considera ble advantage, as was the case with Colum bus. But the most striking circumstance of this kind was the prediction of an Eclipse of the Sun by Thales, the great father of Astro nomy, which happened according to Mayer’s calculation, on the 17ih of May, 603 years before Christ, at the moment that Cvaxares, King of the Medes, and Aliathos, King of the Lydians. Yvere preparing for battle, but alarmed at the appearance of the Eclipse, they immediately laid down their arms and negociated a peace; and thus, ignorance, which is often so injurious to the happiness of man, may, in this instance, be said to have largely contributed towards it.

Friends and Fellow Citizens— Having, even yet, a deep interest in the welfire of that beloved country, for winch all of us have periled our lives and the most of us have shed our blood, we would wish to address to you a few. words in relation to the political aspect ot the times. It our sentiments are not cl ‘til ed in that elegance of language, in which more learned men might invest them, yet we hope you will give them a respectful ami candid perusal—coming as they do, from those who, for more than half a century, have watched with a glowing pride, the progress of our common country to her present hiiih elevation among the governments of the earth. We have witnessed with pain and anxiety the alarming degeneiacy of the times, brought about chiefly by injudicious and partial legis lation. We have seen privileges which'rightfully belong to the whole people, bv partial and unwise legislation,abstracted from them.and conferred especially upon a few. This dangerous and iucanti mis ahuse of the law making povve •, has built up in our midst a separate inesponsibte power, which, in its nature, is foreign to Hie frame-work of our government, and should he unknown to a people reputed Iree. Tne contest now going on in ihe country, is between this power and the govprnrrrnt of the country; between the incorporated wealth —the banking institutions of th- country— and the National Administration, fairly plac ed in power by the American peoplej in the exercise of their l ight of suffrage. From the nature of the contest, it most necessarily be characterized by great biner ness. The ferocious denunciation of Mr. Van Buren and the Democratic party by the present opposition, is unexampled in the country. In darker davs, and in more trying times. Mr. Jeff *rson himself, our old comoatriot, I was denounced as ‘ a jacobin,' 1 ( an infidel.’ and l an agrarian’ by the old Federal party ; from the present opposition dif fer only in the name, which thyv have un righteously and impiously appropriated to themselves. We now conjure vriu then, friends and fel low citizens, in this most probably our last communication to you, to guard with an ever vigilant jealousy, the glorious inheritance of FREEDOM and equality of political rights, which vve, in common with those who need with us in times and scenes which now belong to history, have suffered and sacrificed so much to attain for you. If a foreign enemy were to invade your soil for the conquest of the Republic, we would not question your courage, or doubt your ability to meet and drive them back ; but the secret advances of that organized money piwer which is now feeding upon the essence of your freedom, are wore insidious in their progress, less accessi ble to detection, more difficult to resist, and doubly more dangerous in their design and attainment. Be not dismayed by the epithets of ‘ agra rian ’ and ‘ leveller ’ now so freely bestowed noon the Chief Magist-ate of your co ntrv. The great Apostle of American Democracy, the immortal author of the very charter of your liberties, Thomas Jefferson himself, and we, a remnant of his supporters, had to endure the same in times more inauspicious than the present. You have honored Mr. Van Boren ! with your confidence, in giving him the high est office in the world. He will not repav you by treason to the hopes and happiness of the friends of human liberty in all quarters of the globe. Be not blinded or misled bv false issues. You have, at the coming election, to elect a man to reprwent you ip the Nsffcnr! ature. lo fill tiiat office, let a man lie cho •MMi who will assist Mr. Van Buren in separa ting the financial business of the government Ji'om the business of banking incorporations and of private individuals. This is the pre sent great dividing question in National poli tics ; and in relation to it,you should not hes itate in contributing your exertions to support the Administration ot Air. \ an Bureti in car rying it out. You have also to select a chief magistrate lor ttie State,and representatives in the State Legislatures. In selecting these I little functionaries, you should have an eve j solely to the principles involved in the contest. 1 lie great question of State policy now submitted lor the decision of the people is, whether this irresponsible money power, of which we nave been speaking, shall he made amenable to the people—whether we shall have a thorough and radical reform of the present system of banki g, or whether that system shall still exist in all its irresponsibility, and be suffered to lord it over lire prostrate rights of a once free people. We seek not destruction, hut we ask a re form which will secure to all those privileges winch are now enjoyed but by a few—a re form which will make banks, like others, amenable to the laic's, and responsible for their corporate debts. Friends and fellow citizens! we appeal to vou as men who have fought for those rights which we now conjure you to secure, by de positing your votes for men who will guard and sustain them. We appeal to you as men who have never changed sides in politics—as men who have been Democrats all your lives, in the longest, deepest, broadest sense of that word. * We appeal to you as men whom no un meaning epithets could aver dismay—whom no‘panic’ could frighten, and no pecuniary ‘ distress’ could subdue. As such, fellow citizens, we appeal to you in this struggle against privileged moneyed monopolies and incorporated wealth, to carry SafUv through the contest that flag which, in much severer conflicts, we have borne trium phantly through,‘still full high advanced.’ GEORGE KUNTZMAN.

There is no class of the community upon whom the future vveltiire of the country more essentially depends than upon the rising gen eration of young mechanics. If they are in telligent, sober, industrious, and consequently independent, able and accustomed lo judge tor Itiemselves, and governed,in their conduct, by an enlightened view of their own best in terests; if they are men of this sort, the me chanics, and especially the young mechanics, Will foim the strongest bulwark of our free institutions, and the liest hope of the Repub lic. _ If, on the other hand, they are ignorant, idle, dissolute, and Consequently poor, and de pendent upon those who are willing to trust them—if our mechanics should unhappily become such a class, (of which I thank Goa, mere is but little danger,) they would soon be converted into the mere tools of a few rich and artful men, who, having first stripped them ol every sense of self-respect, and every feeling proper to virtuous citizens, would use them as passive instruments for promoting their own ambitious objects, and for the en actmentof laws which nre beneficial to no body but the artful few with whom they ori ginate. li is as true of ihe mechanical arts as of any other profession, that 4 knowlecge is power,’and vre earnestly recommend io the attention of our friends among the young me chanics, the following excellent 4 hints,’ copi ed from tfie Buffalo Journal: Hmts to Young Mechanics. —The first ob ject t.f a mecli .n c. as it should be that of every one, is to b come thoroughly acquaint ed with his particular business or calling. We are too apt to learn our trade or profes sion by halves—to practise it by halves—and hei.ee being compelled to hire by halves--die by inches. Study and labor to exefei your competitora, and then you will not fail to command the patiouage ol the most discerning and liberal paymasters. There is a great vaiiety of inglily use lul knowledge which appertains to every branch of business that may be acquir ed by a con se ol judicious reading. This knowledge, well digested and sysiematized, Constitutes the science ol every occupation. I iius, it you are a carpenter, ihe science of ai ciiitecluie should he studied with profound attention; it a ship-builder, the science of iiavigal.on and hydrost dies, and that combi nation tit them winch will give ihe largest ca pacity to a vessel with the least resistance bom tne water, and the greatest safety in time of danger from the elements. If you are a iiiactiinist or mill-vvriglit, the mechanic [lowers should he well understood ; and iftlie maciiinery is to he |ro|x:llt'd bv steam or wa ter, you should study the science of hydrau lics, an.! should have a perfect knowledge of the cheat,cal combination ol heat and water, both in its latent and active state, and under stand how it happens that a quart of water converted into steam, which, by a thermo meter, is no hotter than boiling water,yet will bring a gallon of water up to the same tem pera tine. If you are a baiter, a dyer, a pain ler, or a tanner, there is no study so* useful as chemistry. I he fact was known a quarter of a centu ry to chemists that gum shellac was insoluble in water before any hatter ever need it make waterproof hats. The whole art of giving beautiful and durable colors to difftr ent bodies entirely depends upon the chemi cal affinity ol such bodies for the coloring ma terial, and tiie affinity of this latter for the different colored lays of |>o-ht. \\ e speak understandiugly when we sav that the tanners and the public in the United States lose millions annually from the lack of scientific knowledge how best to combine ve getable tannin with animal erclatin. which is ih.- chemical process of making leather—call it by what names you please. , I here is a vast amount of knowledge vvmch is now completely useless, that ought to be brought home to the understanding of every operative in this republic. We Tove industry and respect all who practice it. Eut hhor without study is like a body without u soul. Cultivate and enrich ihe mind with all useful knowledge, and rest assured that an intelligent understanding will teach the hands how to earn and Jiars when the ignorant earn only cents.
