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 interrogated by an ill tempered counsel, observed, on leaving the witness box, that she never liefore fully understood what w its meant hy gif exiuumu 4on( 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 tion!” 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.’ From the lYsw-Tlnjtlnnd Galaxy. 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| the (hi ad arrant a, and in the far east the j stars were beginning to look out upon the <iyiu w uIU?, 'the htiUi hull Uu»h«d hi*, VOL. IL«\0. 7. 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£
