An Old Maid.— We trust that it is no
ofi’ence to tender ears to use this appella
tion, when speaking of a maiden, who
died in Poland last year after attaining *o
her 124th year. She came into the world
and took her leave of it in the village of
Brzezin. Her youth and advanced age
were both endowed with a greater portion
of health than falls to the common lot:
so indeed, that on the very Sunday before
she walked three miles to attend divine
service. Her memory was so tenacious,
that she could recall ftie most trivial cir
cumstances which had occurred to her the
last century of her life. Peace be to her
maiden ashes.
A MOURNER.
The Courier ties Et.ites Unis relates a
story of a person, who being m indigent
circumstances at Paris, was attacked with
a chronic complaint, and was advised by
his Physician to take moderate exercise
daily, such for instance, a» riding hi a car
riage. He was further told that if he
neglected to employ such means for lus
recovery, his ease was hopeless. The
poor fellow was in despair: he could
hardly furnish himself with the ordinary
necessaries of life; and how could he af
ford the luxury of a carriage. One day
as he was walking with slow and hesita
ting steps through the public streets, he
perceived i -nt of mourning coaches
standing !>■ fore the door of a church, the
burml services were concluded, and the
mourners were leaving the church, lie
was dressed in black, and his countenance
was wan and dejected. Deceived by
these appearances, an attendant very po
litely opened the door of the carriage, let
down the steps, and invited him to enter.
He did not require a second bidding: and
as the coach slowly rolled onwards to
wards the cemetery in the suburbs of
Pt-js, he felt new life and vigor in every
limb: the effect of a powerful imagin
tion, or of the doctor’s prescription. W hen
he returned to Ins home in the evening,
after a pleasant ride, he reflected on the
singular event of the day ; and having a
good suit of solemn black, he resolved to
attend as a mourner, the funeral of at
least one rich man every day. He pursued
his schema successfully for six months,
and completely established his health.
A few days ago, an undertaker was ob
served to shed tears at the interment of a
quark. A friend asked him the cause of
it. “Whv,” said he, “you see 1 have
just buried one of my liest friends.”
A young lady, who had lieen severely

Tiie King was asked one day by Lord
North, at a levee, when he had seen the
old Dutchess of Bedford, who was well
known to use an nncoinmou quantity of
paint; to which his Majesty replied—He
had not seen her face, uor lmd any other
person, he believed, for more than twenty
years.
A countryman from Vermont offered a
horse tor sale to a merchant in Boston.
The merchant, supposing that the fel
low had procured the horse dishonestly,
asked if he knew ‘Bquirc ,of Wind
sor, Vt.” Ile answered, “Yes. ” “Well,”
says the merchant, “ he is a great ras
cal.” “Very well,” replied the jockey,
“lie says till* eumu of you.” fivm- o(Krd
which he believed—“ Faith, 1 believe you
both.”
“What a pity it is,” said a lady to Gar
rick, “that you are not taller!” “I should
be happy, indeed madam,” replied Gar
lick, “to be higher in your estima

All in Character —We are not sur
prised to find British papers, especially
those of the aristocratic class, in the field,
entering into our political contests and
taking sides with the masonic party. It
is all in character, “Birds of a feather
flock together.” Our tory masonic admin
istration have “throwm the grand hading
sign of distress” to the tory monarchist,
and it obeyed with true masonic promp
titude. We congratulate the fraternity
upon this acquisition: it is a mete associa
tion for them, and they are full welcome
to it. We expect our support from true
Americans, die men whose labor supports
our country, and the administration will
find the interest which they can make in
the king’s domain valueless, when called
to the bar of public opinion.
The Canada Herald,a decided ultra pa
per, has Liken hold of the war, and in its
tone we find an exact counterpart to the
language of the aristocracy here* The
similitude is most vivid.
Speaking of the nomination of Mr. Wirt,
it says:
“The latter gentleman, who was form
erly attorney general of the United States,
has consented ‘to become what is called
the anti-masonic candidate, at the request
i* i 7 anti-masons, lately
held at Washington—a convention got
up by a party whose creed is to proscribe
and persecute all who have the honesty
to adhere to the principles of an institu
tion “which has received the sanction and
the support ot the wise and good of every
country,” and which, within the British
dominions, is fostered and respected in a
pre-eminent degree.” Elucidato.
Again :
“And what is the motive that actuates
those modern crusaders ? Why, simply a
thirst for office. Give us,say they,an anti
tnasouic president, and we antimasons
will be sure, whether qualified or not, to
get all the offices at the disposal of the
executive.”
And yet again, speaking of Antimasou
ry:
“A party which, (to use the language of
a respectable New York paper,) ‘menaces
alike principles in and out of politics—
principles of civil government—of social
'lntercourse—of religious freedom -Ai do
mestic purity. A monster—a hybrid—
deriving its individuality and existence
from the throes of hypocrisy and craft,
scoffing at the obligation of oaths, and
offering a premium for treachery and de
ceit.” Such is Anti-Masonry.’
Here is the same endless baseless cant
about proscription, office seeking &c. the
same redundance of shameful epithets,
which has beea rung in the ears of ihe
people by the office hodlders who dare
not say that they did not get their places
by proscribing some of the fairest men in
the land. Truely Masonry and mouarchy
make capital ‘handmaids.’

DEATHe PARTICULAR FRIEND.
A Tale of By-Gone Days!
Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice,
And could of men distinguish her election,
She hath sealed thee for herself Hamlet.
In the early part of the 14th century,
in the town of Madrid, dwelt Doctor
Magnus Matador. Early in life he had
given himself up to the study of physic,
and before his fortieth year, had given as
many infldcls, not to say believers, over to
the uve, us ever did Red Cross Knight."
Eurly in the morning he began his la
bors, and the sun went down, and still he
was at work. At a fever, or a dropsy, or
appoplexy, there was none might compete
with him; he was sure to put the disease
to flight by the sixth day, and, unless it so
fell out that in departing, the disease was
in such a hurry as to go oil' patient and
all, as a dog runs away with a stolen leg
of mutton when the butcher comes; unless
this was the case, the leech commonly
cured the man; and if he did die, why the
poor physician crossed himself, muttered !
an Ave Maria, and took bis recompense
grap fully; he was, in truth, uu exemplu
ry Christian.
It wus the evening of a November day
the sun had sunk behind the mountains <jf|

stars were beginning to look out upon the

day s work, and was now hieing home to
his own low dwelling and comfortable bed;
presently there was a hand laid upon hia
shoulder, a heavy, hard hand; lie turned,
it was an armed knight, armed cap-u-pie
his visor uowii. i rom hi» helmet stream
ed one long black plume; (ns step had
been noiseless, and ho, vo.ee was hollow.
“Meet me at midnight, said he, by th©
church-yard of St. Augustin.” The leech
would fain have demanded the “why and
the wherefore;” but ere he could speak,
ibe form of the stranger began to grow
indistinct; it lost its material appearance,
and, like a Wreath of murtung sn.oke,
was, before the Doctor recovered himself
dissolved and incorporated into the vn.pty
an. Magnus hud but one resource, ho
crossed himself. The shades oi
were last coming down, and our leech felt
that it behooved, him to make tiie best of
lus way home; but iu turning ihe corner
ol a street, pop he came directly against a
mau; and yet it was “passing strange, ’*
though iie saw him, and saw that hcran
against him, he felt nothing.
i he stranger was u large, round, jolly
looking man; wnb, us it seemed* tha
twilight, a red nose and mouth of largo
dimensions; he was dressed in the strain o
fashion ot the day, which showt.i his size
to advantage, and displayed his thick ball
neck and broad shoulders. Magnus would
fain have bowed and passed on, but tl o
“bon vivant” caught Inm by Uu si
and m a sepulchral voice, told La, s
ill befitted bis appearance, and re; and
the words that the wondering ptiv. ,;<n
had heard once before—“meet me .it
midnight by the church-yard of tit. Au
gustin!” “Ha?’ ejaculated the heartr,
aud, raising hisgoiden-knobbed cane, lie
struck at the stranger, whose mouth dis
tending into a broad grin, shown •! tooth
less guius, and what appeared, as it were,
a bottomless pit; but lightei and itg uter
grew his hand, dimiter ami dimmer hsi
figure; the leech caught at him, his <■ ud
closed— empty; he calico to him, aim v, 9
answered by a hollow luuglfj he muttered
a pater noster.
As he came near his own house, he saw
a beggar, as he thought, standing by ,ho
portal. His face was wasted and sukow,
El- eyes sunken, his figure bent; and as he
CXtClKtbft jt
and sickness had Lcr - * strong for Lm.
Our leech nut his L-“-ft mio n.* •V_rJTT,
and selecting the smallest copper coin,
held it to tiie mendicant, who drew back
his arm, and raising Ins figure, whispered
these words—mdet me at midnight by th©
church-yard of St. Augustin.” ’T was tii©
third time - the physician sought no: to
stay him; and in a moment more, « pass
er-bv stood in tiie very spot where the
beggar had been.
And now was it midnight in the stm is
ot Madrid. The moon looked down coid
ly from her w atch-tower, and coldly crept
down the air from the mountains, iiele
and there shone out a light from some dis
tant hostelrie, and here and there a g'o»
worm glittered among the grass by tiro
door side of some neglected house, it
was midnight, and Doctor Magnus A.
dor , vvus leaning upon the waif o n
(Jiurch-vard of Bt. Augustin, and thoc
fully gazing upon the graves. v.mo
o’clock, the clock of St. Augustin’s cna
pel, had not yet tolled the hour—hush! it
was the bell. Suddenly before our leech’s
eyes flitted a misty form, wavering hither
and thither with the wind, and through
which you might trace the outlines of th©
whitened church, and anon came a se
cond, and anon a third; they were his
three summoners. Distinct they stood,
hut spoke not; and now had the bell told
nine strok s, and once again they begau
to lade; again you might see through
them the innumerable tombs; then a hat
flew by, and passed through their fading
shapes. It was strange, hut stranger still
was it that as they disappeared, the phy
sician felt as if he were disappearing too;
mistier and mistier became their shapes,
and dimmer and dimmer his perceptions;
the scene around seemed to become in
distinct; he put hy his hand to hide it, but
he saw through his hand as if if. were a
web of gossamer; again that bat flitted by;
it flitted through himself.
When the leech recovered lus jiercep
tion, hyvas alone; he gazed around for
the church he saw it not; there was not
a tomb, nor a tree, nor a house, nor a sin*
gle thing; not even a sound. He looked
up, there was no sky; down, there was no
earth; he felt his pulse, it heat; it was no
dream; he stood, as it were, in mid airi
It was light, hut there was neither sun,
moon, nor stars. Presently there camd
a sound as of wings, and he saw around
him a thousand dim, shadowy, gigantic
forms, passing and repassing; ht* grasped
at them wildly, but lie grasped nothing.
And then he saw before him, us it were, a
misty throne; misty and immense like the
forms around him; und then albr off, ho
saw three figures, yen, those three, but
like all the rest, dim and gigantic; and
with each came a multitude of follow ers,
Aml they passed on and set them nt tho
foot of the tlirone. And then again nfar
oil*, came another form, yet more vast,
und fearful to look upon,and, ns he came,
the light around the leech disappeared,
and then* carue down thick darkless, bat
behind him thatcome, there win i strong
and clear light, nod in it wen sfen fair
form*, Atui all the noise of tbewe ti/Ui£
