POETRY.
English Slavery at iiwaxr, or
the Factory diariho last bay.
The follt,uing is an r xtrnct from the evi
dence given before a Committee of the Bri
tish Hun, Ctmmoos, on the subject of
JJJ iiiii the period of young persons work
ing in the factories.
"There was a girl of a poor man's that I
Was Called to visit; it was poorly; it hail at
tended a mill, and I was obligvet to relieve
the father in the course of my office (that of
assist:tat overseer of the poor,) in conse
quence of the bad health of the child; by
and by, it went back to its work again; and
one clay he came to use with tears in his eyes,
I said, "What is the matter?" He said, 'My
little girl is dead!' I said, 'When did she die?'
He said, 'ln the night; andwhat breaks
my heart is this, she went to the mill in
thy morning, she was not able to•do her
work, and a little boy said he Would assist
her if she would give him a half-penny on
Saturday; I said I would give him a penny;'
but at night when the child went home, per
haps about a quarter of a mile, it fell down
seve: al times on the road through exhaes•
den, till at length it reached its father's
door with dilhculty, and it never• spok a au
dibly afterwards; it divd in the night. I
judged she might be bin years old."
In connection with the above,- we extract
the following pathetic stanzas from 'The
or Sun," (London paper,) of the 6th of
'Twas on a winter morning,
'!'he weather wet and wad;
Three hours before the dawning
The father roused his child,
Her daily morsel bringing,
The darksome room he paced,
And cried, 'The bell is ringing,
My hapless darling haste."
"Father, I'm up, bat weary,
I scarce can reach the door:
And long's the way and dreary,
0 carry me once more!
To help us we've nn mother,
You've no employment nigh.
They killed my little brother,
Like him I'll work—and die,"
Her wasted form seemed nothing,
The !Old was at his heart;
The sufferer he was soothing
at the mill they part.
The overinoker met her,
As to her frame she crept,
Ann with his thong he beat her,
And cured her as she wept.
Alas! what hours of sorrow
Made up her latest day;
Those hours that brought no morrow
Too slowly passed away,
t seetti'd as she grew weaker,
'rile threads the oftener brake,
The rapid wheels ten quicker,
And heavier fell the stroke.
The sun had long descended,
But night brought no repose;
Her nay began and ended,
As cruel tyrants chose.
At length t' a little neighbor
Her half-penny she paid,
To take her last hour's labor,
While by her frame she laid.
M last the engine ceasing,
The captive noweward rush'd,
She thought her strength incrsasing....
'Twat; hope her spirits flushed;
She left, but oft she tarried,
She fell and msr nn mote,
Till by her comrades carried,
She reach'd her father's door.
All night with tortur'd feelings,
Ile watched his speechless
And close beside her kneeling,
She new him not nor smil'd.
Agsin the Factory's ringing,
Her last perceptions tried;
When from straw-bed springing.
'oris time!" she shrieieti and died!
That night a charitt pn,sell her
While on the , ground she lay!
The daughters of her master
An evening visit pay--
Their tender hearts were sighing
As negro wrings were told;
While the white slave was dying,
Who gain'd their father's gnld!

HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1839.
MISCELL.O.NEOUS.
Extraordinary Angling
Adventure.
A few summers ago 1 was pursuing my
favorite amusement, when I met with the
following ludicrous incident, over the re
cital of which I have since had many a
hearty laugh, in which I have no doubt my
readers will join. The scene of my ad
venture was a small lake in Perthshire,
beautifully situated at the head of a rich
ly wooded glen, and the undulating hills,
which slope down to the water's edge,
are clothed with noble specimens of the
Scotch fir; the reflection of the lofty trees,
the gray rock, and the purple heather, up
on the quiet deep water, gives the pic
ture the cast of the most intense solitude,
and the spirits gradually sink into a state
of melancholy pleasure. It is the recol
lection of wandering amid such scenes as
this, which produces a sort of mania for
fishing which we often see in some anglers,
and surely it is an excusable one where
the imagination can revel on the wonder
ful and stupendous works of our Creator.
I was diligently working the little silvery
front, with which my hook was baited,
when my reflections were disturbed by a
low muttering from the woods behind me,
1 lad not liatened lung before a loud
crashing among the branches warned me
;1,,,',. it was, time to cut: and as a ball is an
uply customer at all times, I seized my
rr;il and dashed for the nearest tree, but a
pike at this moment, not aware of my al
arm followed my example in dashing at the
bait. There was no dine to spare, so let
ting the reel run, with the aid of a little
gymnastics, I established myself on the
first stock of a stout pine, and viewed
with great satisfaction my sava g e blear
eyed foe, just in time to - be too late; he
seemed determined, however, on a block
ade, and kept tearing up the turf, and but
ting his broad forehead against my house
of refuge, giving me a good sample of his
Woody intentions. ISly attention was
quickly called to my aquatic friend, who
was making most wofut depredations on
my line, which fortunately could boast of
nearly three score yards and ten; he had
near! y run it out and it was with joy that 1
saw him throw his huge carcass a couple of
feet under water, with the view of break
ing his bonds by the weight of his fall. I
was prepared for this; and after a few
wild and unruly runs he became much
more tractable. It was out of my power
to come to terms so long as old homey
stood centry below, so I sat very com
fortable playing my fish. •
At this part of the lake the water cov
ers a shallow bank to the depth of a tew
inches. It was here, after in vain seeking
to ease himself of my steel, he made his',
last and grand struggle for liberty. He
took a furious dash, sprung and lolled
about, and at length ran himself aground,
producing an infernal commotion of the
water, which he lashed into foam around
him. It was not long before the bull's
fancy was tickled, and possibly reasoning,
from my earnest attention to the motions
of the pike. that there existed some con
nexion between us, made furiousli at his
new acquaintance. Here commenced
ode of the rarest combats that ever was
fought, but the knight of the water proved
himself more than a match for his lordly
antagonist. However skillful I might be
in playing my fish, 1 could not pretend to
' have soy power over the motions of the
assailant,. but -sat, almost splitting with
laughter, while icy line which was imme
diately broken, was twisted around the
horns and legs of the bull, who was going
right and left into the stranded fish, who
was, notwithstanding, scarcely hurt, as
nothing very effectual could be done
against his scaly sides, while every now
and then he would turn to pin his enemy.
An opportunity was not long in occuring,
and his long
,jaws and hooked teeth were
firmly fixed in the nether lip of the ensu
red and terrified animal, who bounded
along the shore tossing his head and
using every effort to get rid of his tor
mentor; but it was all in vain, his rage
and violence were equally useless.
I was quickly on terra firma, and leas,-
' ing my rod, dashed on in pursuit, in which
I was joined b y two herdsmen and their
dogs, who had come up on hearing the
. noise. What is coursing, what is fox hun
ting, what is any chase that can be named,
in comparison with the sport we were en
gaged in? There was the bull tearing on,
,tail erect, bellowing with pain, and three
dogs keeping up with him, and every now ,
and then venturing a spring at his nostrils, '
or at the dead and tern fish, which still •
appended to him, his grasp in death as'
deadly as in life. This however could
not last lens, and the poor bull, complete
ly exhausted, sank down, vanquished hy •
a dead fish! The dogs were taken off
him, as likewise the remainder of my
A.
ike which could have been little short of
,be
pounds, and it was so torn, as. to
,be fit only for the dogs, who did not, how-
ever, seem to relish it. The herdsmen
were much amused with the recital of my
adventure, and assured me the hull would
quickly recover from the effects of his
spree, and such another I hardly chink he
would wish to he engaged in.—Manx,
Isle of Man, Liberal.
The Pawn Broker.
Visiting the Pawn Broker's shop in
Chatham street, for the purpose of re
deeming some articles left by an unfor
tunate friend, the following circumstance
arrested my attention:—
A middle aged man, entered with a
bundle, on • which he asked a small ad
vance, and which, on being opened, was
found to contain a shawl, and two or three
other articles at female apparel. The
man was stout and sturdy, and as I
judged from his appearance, a mechanic
—but the mark of the destroyer was on
his bloated countenance, and his heavy
stupid eyes. Intemperance had marked
him for his own. The pawn broker was
yet examining the offered pledge. when a
•voinan, whose pale face and attenuated
form bespoke long intimate acquaintance
with sorrow, calve hastily into the shop,
and with the single exclamation, "Oh
Robert!" darted rather than run, to that
parkof the counter where the man was
standing. Words were not wanted to I
explain her story—her miserable husband
not satisfied with wasting his own earnin,, ,, s
and leaving her to starve with her clul•
dren, had descended to the weariness of!
plundering even her scanty wardrobe,
and the pittance, for obtaining of which
this robbery would furnish means, was
destined to be squandered at the tippling
honk. A blush of shame arose even
upon his degraded fitce— but it quickly
passed away—the brutal appet!te prevail
ed, And the better feeling that haul appa
rently stirred within him for the moment,
Bann gave way before its diseased and in
aatiated cravings.
‘Go home,' was his harsh and angry ex
clartMtion, 'what brings you.here, running
lafter me with your everlasting scolding?
Go home and mind your own siness.'
'Oh Robert, dear Robert,' answered the
unhappy wife, 'don't pawn my shawl.-^.
Our children are crying for bread, and I
have none to give them. Oh let me have
the money; it is hard to part with •that
shawl, for it was my mother's gift; but I
will let it go rather than see my children
starve. Give me the money, Robert, and
don't leave us to perish.'
I watched the face of the pawn broker,
to see what effect this appeal would have
upon him, but I watch.-d in vain. He
was hardened to distress and had no sym
pathy to throw away. 'Twelve shilling
on these,' tossing them back to the droll. ,
hard, with a look of perfect indifference,
'Only twelve .shillingsr murmured the
heart broken wife, in a tone of despair.—
'Oh Robert don't let them go for 12 shit•
lings. Let me try some where the.'
Nonsense, answered the brute. 'lt is
as much as they're worth I suppose. Here
Mr. Crimp, give us the change.'
The money was placed before him, and
the bundle consigned to a drawer. The
woman reached forth her hand towards
the silver, but the movement wns anticipa
ted by her husband, 'There, Mary,' he
said, giving her half a dollar, 'there, go
home row and don't make a fuss. I'm
going a little way up street and perhaps
I'll bring you something from market
when, I come home'
. The hopeless lodk of the poor wdman,
as she meekly turned to the door, told
plainly enough how little she trusted to
this ambiguous promise. They went On
their wayshe to her famishing children,
and he to squander the dollar hehad re
tained for rum! —Scenea from Real Life.
The Impudent Bride.
Not long since, in Liverpool, as a cou
ple were going to be married, anal had
proceeded as far as the church yard gate,
the gentleman: stopped his lair comrade
with the following unexpected address:
"Mary, during our courtship ; I told
you most of my mind, but not nll of any
mind; when we are married I shall insist
upon three things."
"What are they?" asked the astonished
lady.
"In the first place,' said he, "I shall
lie alone; second, I shall eat alone; third
ly, I shall find fault with you when there
is no occasion for it. Can you submit to
these conditions?"
"Oh yes sir, very easily' she replied,
"fur if you lie alone, I shall not; if you
eat alone. I shall eat first; and as to your
finding fault without occasion, that, I think
may be prevented . , for I shall take care,
that you never want an occasion.

The Mechanic)* Children.
Let a group of children be gathered at,
a school or play ground, whether they be
rich or poor, gentle or simple, they will
coalesce so as to realize the most com
plete levelling theory. If this is true of
the very poor, how much more apparent is
it, when the comparison takes in ttte off
spring of the well doing mechanic. Chil
dren, take them one with another, are
beautiful creatures--at least in America,
-nay all the world over. Sir Joshua
Reynolds has observed that children, un
til mistaught, always throw their limbs
into graceful attitudes. I trouble myself
very little, when I meet a rosy, ingeni
ous, clean, and happy child, with the in
quiry whether it be aristocratic or a ple
beian in its origin. John Randolph, of
Roanoke, was in the habit of alluding to
certain families, as having no ancestral
portraits. Now I questicn whether the
guest orator would not have given Rushy
Forest, or even Roanoke, for a pair of
boys, It is better to have fruit on the
limbs, than ever so many dead roots under
ground. A cluster of merry, healthy
boys and girls, is better than a family
crest, or old plate, or faded pictures, or a
genealogical tree, or the pitiful pride of
penniless grandeur. These olive tr :inch
es around one's table atThrd good presum
tion of a certain degree of health end
virtue; and are just what the patricisns of
I lordly Britian often sigh for in vain. Ev
ery now and then some great family goes
out like a dying lait:p, with an impotent
conclusion. Blessvi! are those poor men
who are rich in children, such as 1 ti.e.mi
I plead guilty to the charge tg !;ving at
the center of it very narrow aliey, with a
somewhat ignoble name. My window
looks upon this humble avenue, which is
properly a cads-sec. - At a certain hour
of every day it is filled with boys and
girls; for :it the further end of it there is a
"madam's school." My writing is ever

or the scream of ecstaey from these romp
ing creatures; I seldom fail to look oat, 1
and am generally as long nibbing my pen
at the window, as they ail: in their
irregular procession through the inns.—
True, they have polled a board off air gar
den fence, and foraged most naughtily
among toy gooseberries; but whit of that?
I have many a time paid a heavier tar tor
'a less pretty sight. They are happy; so
ant I, while I look at them.
Surely nothing can be more graceful Or!
attractive than the lawn•like girl, not yet I
in her teens, not yet seduced into the bold
coquetry ar.d flirting display of the "young
miss." Whose children ate these/ The 1
children of mechanics, almost without
exception. Call it not pride in the anx
ious mother, that she decks these little
ones in the cleanliest, fairest product of
her needle, and shows oft' with innocent )
complacency the chubby face or slender'
ankle; call it not pride, but lore. The
1 mechanic's wife has a heart; and over the
cradle, Which she keeps in motion while
she plies her task, she sometimes wanders
in musing which needs the aid of poesy to'
represent it. She feels that she is en
American mother; she knows her boy not
only muy but most have opportunities of
advancement far superior to those of his
parents. She blushes in forethought to
imagine him illiterate and unpolished when
shall come to wealth, and therefore she
denies herself that she may send:him to
school.
What a security Provdenee has given

ing fullness of that pernettml spring—a
mother's heart I Iss id was proud of our
American wives; I am ready to kneel in
tears of thankfulness for our Arnerican
mothers.
But let me get Una from the mothers{
to the children. Ou r future electors, and'
jurymen, and judges, and magistrates,
are the urchins who are now shouting and
leaping around a thousand shops and:
schoolhouses. Shall their parents live in
