THE AMERICAN BOY.
"Father, look up and see that flag,
How gracefully it flies;
Those pretty stripes they seem to be
A rainbow in the skies."
It is your country's flag, my son,
And proudly drinks the light,
O'er ocean's wave in foreign climes,
A symbol of our might.
"Father what fearful noise is that,
; Like the thundering of the clouds !
Why do the people wave their hats,
And rush along in crowds !"
It is the' voice of cannonary,
The glad shouts of the free,
This is the day of memory dear
'Tis Freedom' Jubilee.
"I wish that I was now a man,
I'd fire a cannon too,
And cheer as loudly as the rest
But, Father, why don't you ?"
Tni getting old and weak but still
. My heart is big with joy;
I've witness'd many a day like this
Shout ye aloud, my boy.
"Hurrah ! for Freedom's Jubilee,
God bless our native land;
And may 1 live to hold the sword
Of Freedom in my hand!"
Well done, my boy grow up and love
The land that gave you birth;
A home where Freedom loves to dwell,
Is Paradise on earth.
; WASHINGTON.
There seems to be something in the ve
ry name of this illustrious individual, that
every American seems instinctively, as it
"were, taught to venerate, inasmuch as ev
ery incident in his life is becoming more
and more interesting as time is gradually
'gaining space, from his lifetime to the
present moment.
I was seated tho other afternoon, en
joying a cigar, at the Maspeth Hotel,
-when a plainwell-dressed elderly man,
drew a chair towards me, and seeing me
to much at leisure, evinced a disposition
to enter into a conversation with me;
when I observed
". "Well friend, it appears from all ac
counts, our new President has left us."
Yes sir, so it seems and on so short
.notice," he replied.
"He was quite an aged man not so
old as myself by several years. Was
vou in this country during the revolution,
iir!"
"Oh, yes sir, I was born in this coun
try, thank God."
"Then sir, you must have some recol
lection, but I was too young to enter the
service at that time."
. "And where were you, sir?"
"In Westchester, sir."
, "Oh ! then you had an opportunity of
knowing considerably about the great
movements of that day; and you recollect
the features of Gen. Washington as per
fectly as though it was but yesterdey ?
and Lafayette, too ? and Harry Pinck
cey !" '
. "Yes," said he, laughing heartily.
"Crosby and my father were neighbors."
So saying I offered him a cigar, which
he declined, and said
"If the landlord has a pipe, I will pre
fer iL' I should like to tell you, he con
tinued, "a little circumstance which took
between Gen. Washington and myself."
, I observed I should be delighted to hear
it," and he related the following history
cf a day in the General's employ.
"Well one morning father told me to
take the black mare to Sing Sing, and get
her shod, and wait till old rum nose Ben,
the Blacksmith, shod her. So I stood at
the door of old Ben's shop, and who
should drive up to the tavern opposite, but
.Washington in his coach and Lafayette
with him. They both got out, and 1 saw
both pass into the back room, and the
landlord followed; and in a few seconds
the landlord beckoned me from the piazza.
1 felt fnghtmed sr first, and wondered
what it meant; but thinks I, they want
tome grog and fresh M ater. I was in
my shirt and trowsers, without shoes, and
on my head, an old cocked hat, and my
feet and ankles you may judge. I had
teen hoeing corn in the morning; but in I
went As I approached the bar, I met
the landlord; he said
"There are two gentlemen in the back
room who wish to see you."
.- Unable to smother a laugh, I said
"My God ! I can't go; see me," and I
exhibited myself, and pointed to my feet.
: "Come along, I'll go with you."
So in he went.
. . As I pulled off my hat, the stoutest man
cays-
"Sit down, young man."
- "This boy," said the landlord, "I am
confident will do any service you may
trust him with, to your satisfaction, and
withdrew from the room; and the Gene
ral began, (for it was Washington him
fcelf,) "Young man, I wish to procure the
newspaper of. to-day, from New York?
ca you procure it for me V ' .
I hesitated a moment, and replied
"I think I can, sir."
"Well," says he to the Marquis, "please
inquire of the landlord if he will furnish
a good horse."
"No, no," said I "I don't want a horse."
"How will you go, then ?"
" "In my canoe," I said.
The Marquis could not refrain from a
downright laugh, which brought the land
lard to the door.
"Le diable you'll be drowned ?" says
the Frenchman.
"There is not water enough in North
river to drown this child, I know," said I.
The Marquis and the landlord enjoyed
the retort by a hearty laugh, but the oth
er turned to the window, looked on the
river a lew seconds, and observed
"The tide serves and I wish to see you
ofl. What time will you probably re
turn!" "Between seven and eight this after
noon," I replied.
He handed me a gold piece.
"1 don't want half so much; I only
want sufficient to buy some fowls and
eggs with, for I am going to market."
The General turned to the landlord, and
said to him
"Give him as much change as he wish
es," on which he handed me about twelve
shillings, while I observed .
"Now 1 11 run home and get some
clothes in a few minutes."
"I wish to speak a few words with you
before you start."
"I shall not be here again till I come
from New York, sir. In fifteen minutes
I shall start from the little stone dock,"
and I pointed to it out of the window.
"I desire you to be prudent and keep
your own counsel," said the General;
"and should any mischief befal you, so
that you are detained, do not fail to let me
know all the circumstances immediately,
so that I may relieve you."
So saj-ing "good bye," I took my hat
and started, and by the time I stated I
started from tho dock, and saw the car
riage drive off.
I sood reached the city, and went to
Claus Vandara's in the Bowery, who used
to keep the Sourkrout Club House, as it
was then called, and where I had often
been with my father, who was an? old
friend of his. I told him my errand, and
the haste I was in, on the account of the
time of tide.
"Well," said he, "here's IIuey.Gaines'
to-day's paper, and here is an English pa
per which came in the British packet last
night take that, too, and the sooner you
are off the better, it is now dead low wa
ter." "I felt rejoiced at getting the other pa
per, and had them between my shirt and
skin, in my bosom, very soon. I left my
fowls and eggs with him, aiid took the
baskets back, but not till the good old
Dutchman had tossed into one a large roll
of gingerbread, and which I began to need
very much. As I approached the wharf,
there were three red coats looking towards
a ship at anchor in the river. As I step
ped into my canoe, they walked to the
place, and one asked
"Where are you going!"
"To Weehawk," said I. .
"Where have you b en!"
"To market Jo sell some chickens and
eggs,' I answered.
They said no more, and I made the
best of my way to Sing Sing, with a fine
tide, and soon arrived there, just before
those I have mentioned; and my heart felt
good to see the carriage drive to the tav
ern, and both of them looking for me oat
of tho window. I fastened my canoe,
but I left both baskets, for I knew that
funny Frenchman would make fun, of the
gingerbreid. As. I entered the house, the
landlord was in the bar. I saw the back
door open, and the landlord told me to go
in, which I did, and Lafayette shoved it
slowly to.
Washington was on his feet, and before
I could take off my hat he observed
"Well my young friend what success !"
"All good, sir," I said, laughing, as I
thrust my hand into my bosom and pulled
out both papers and handed them to him.
"An English paper where did you get
this from !" said he, as a look of appro
bation spread over his noble face.
"Sourkrout HhII, sir."
He reached his hand and took mine
saying
"I am greatly obliged to you."
"Sourkrout ilall," said the Frenchman,
looking at me very significantly.
"You've not had your dinner!" said
the General.
"Not to-day, sir."
"Marquis please order some, and a dish
of tea."
"No sir, I must go home."
Washington took out his purse and
held five guineas towards me. I drew
back and said
; "I am an American, sir, and father
would make me return it right away, if
he knew it."
"Well," said he, "if I can reward you
no other way, bear in mind this General
Washington thanks you; and give my res
pects to your fatherand tell him I' con
gratulate him on having such a son; and .
remember, if at any time during this con- J
test, orfchereafter, you get involved in any
difficulty, let me hear from you, and I
' will relieve you if in my power.
As he said J this, I thought I saw a tear
starting in his eyes, and Lafayette's like
wise, as they both burned into the car
risge, when the landlord followed to the
steps. While the waiter was closing the
door, Lafavette said
"My God ! what a country I patriots
from the commander-in-chief down to
the ploughman ! they deserve to be free I"
"Yes," replied the other, as the coach
drove off, "and I trust in God they will
be."
RULES FOR LADIES.
It is not considered fashionable to intro
duce two persons who accidently meet in
your parlor, and who are paying you a
morning visit.
Never introduce in the street, unless
the third person joins and walks with you.
You may make an exception to this rule
when the parties are mutually desirous of
knowing one another.
When a gentleman is presented to a
lacty, if she is in her own house, and de
sires to welcome him, she may shake
hands with him; but on any other occa
sion, unless the gentleman is venerable,
or the bosom friend of the husband or fa
ther, this practice is reprehensible.
A lady is at liberty to take either ano
ther lady or a gentleman to pay a morn
ing visit to a friend without asking per
mission; but she should never allow a
gentleman the same liberty.
A lady who is invited to an evening
assembly may always request a gentle
man who has not been invited by the lady
of the house, to accompany her.
If you are walking with one lady do
not stop to converse wilh others who are
unknown to her, as she must necessarily
feel unpleasant; but if with a gendeman
you may do as you please.
Extraordinary Coincidence in thk
Lives of a Married Pair. A Scotch
newspaper of the year 1777, gives the
following as an extract of a letter from
Lanark: "Old William Douglas and his
wife are lately dead; you know that lie
and his wife were born on the same day,
within the same hour, by the same mid
wife; that they were constant companions
till nature inspired them with love and
friendship; and at the age of nineteen
were , married with the consent of their
parents, at the church where they were
christened. These are not the whole of
the circumstances attending this extraor
dinary pair. They never knew a day's
sickness until the day before their deaths,
and the day on which they died they
were exactly one hundred years old.
They died in one bed, and .were buried
in one grave, close to the fount where
they were christened.
On Wednesday, a little excitement was
created at the Cataract House, Niagara
Falls, on which a voung Southerner acted
the ninny. On entering the dining room,
he was about seating himself at the break
fast table, with his ladies, in chairs reserv
ed for others. The waiter very politely
informed him that such was the fact, and
offered him another place, when the Sou
therner drew his knife with the intention
of stabbing the waiter! After a few mi
nutes of disturbance, the young blood
paid his bill, and notwithstanding the rain
was pouring down in torrents, left wilh
his ladies for anoihei house. Rochester

Gold. The St. Louis Era says: "Of
the $100,000 received here on Friday
last, from the Dixon Land Office, but
$20,000 of it was in American gold the
balance in Thalers, sovereigns, and other
foreign coin. This shows clearly to
whom the land was sold. Upon its re
ception at the Sub-Treasury the amount
was found to fall short about 8500. The
mistake occurred in adopting the value of
the foreign to those of our own coin.
Stone Rope. A rope, nearly three
miles long, now lies at Gateshead, Eng
land, which was the other day a sione in
the bowels of the earth. Smelted, the
stone yielded iron; the iron was converted
into wire; the wire was brought to the
rope walk manufactory near Gateshead,
and there twisted into a line, 4,660 yards
long. It is the stoutest rope of the kind
ever made. .
Economical Invention. A stove has
just been introduced into this country
from England, which, in its use, ingeni
ously manufactures superior gas for burn
ing from the coal which is consumed.
Thus the same fire which warms the
building supplies the gas without addi
tional expense. It is stated that it can be
applied to any other stove or furnace. ? .
A windy political orator recently made
a speech, in every sentence. of which he
had something to say about sound politi
cal principles. , A bystander remarked
that if his principles were like his ppeech,
they were ell sound. .
PAST TIME.
"Times past to musing age appears
What boyhood fancies future years:
A fairy land of sunny bowers,
And joy and love, and laughing hours;
We find not these in boyhood's days,
Yet morn them past as life decays,
And ask our moaning spirits, when
Those pleasant hours shall come again ?
"Age, that so happy boyhood deems,
As foolishly as boyhood dreams;
For were it young again, 'twould slight
Each summer-scene of young delight,
Till age come stealing on once more,
Sedate and thoughtful as before,
Inquiring, sad and sagely, when
Those pleasant scenes shall bloom again!
"Ridiculous ! a thousand terms
Of being, with our minds and forms,
Whose present pleasure seems but this:
To doaton past and future bliss,
Would through the same delusions wend
And lead us to the self same end,
Still mournfully enquiring, when
Our blasted hopes shall bloom again V

A MISERABLE FAILURE!
The Old Hunker celebration in this
city on Saturday last, was the most sig
nal political failure we have ever wit
nessed. Never mountain in labour brought
forth so miserable a mouse. Although
got up m obedience to orders from llar-
rishtirg and W ashington, bv the famous
Democratic Club' of this city, and an-
v -
nounced through the German and English
Newspapers of the county, and by Ger
man and English Handbills, thatSiiiNK
& Longstreth, and other dignitaries of
the Statu ami National administrations
would be present on the occasion; al
though meetings were held for weeks
previous in the various townships arid ef
forts made to send in strong delegations,
it was all to' no purpose. The 'democra
cy' appeared to regard the whole proceed
ings with . the most profound contempt,
and would not turn out no how the Old
Hunkers could fix it.
The incidents of the day were amusing.
In the morning Old Huukerism was on a
high horse, and expected a maguificent
display. Five thousand was the lowest
figure for the procession. They would
take nothing less. 'The dampness of the
day was regarded rather favorable than
otherwise for a large turn out. The
Farmers weie not afraid of a shower,
they- could do nothing at their second
crop; what better lime for a visit to
town to see the . Governor!' Thus ar
gued the leaders of the parly, and their
hearts beat hirh with exultation! Loco
foco Head Quarters was tricked out in a
gala dress, witli flags flaunting proudly in
ihe breeze. Behm's was surrounded
with a curious crowd anxious to see a
live Governor, and 'all went merry as a
marriage bell.'
But soon 4a -change came o'er the spirit
of their dream,' for though lime waned a-
pace the indications of a 'crowd were by
no means flattering. Now and then a
carriage or a solitary wayfarer could be
observed entering our principal thorough
fares; but the 'arrivals' were few and far
between. Hotel keepers began to look
blue in view of customers, and tiie faces
of our Locofoco friends borj an anxious
expression. '
At 10 o'clock the prospects for any
thing like a respectable turn-out from the
country grew desperate, and the hopes of
the Governor and his friends turned to a
new quarter. In anticipation of a large
delegation from Philadelphia an extra
train of five cars had been engaged, which
it was supposed would bring up at least
five hundred persons to participate in the
proceedings, a number that, under the cir
cumstances, would be a god-send to their
despairing hopes. Great preparations
were made to receive this delegation, and
at the appointed hour a considerable crowd
collected at the Depot.
At about 11 o'clock the Train hove in
sight, and as it came thundering up the
Road. Banners were elevated, the Band
struck up a patriotic air, and the commit
tee with heart's in their hands, stood ea
ger to welcome the new comersr A mo
ment more, and the train stopped when
tell it not in Gath publish it not in
Askalon N I N E M EN AND O N E
BO Y not a soul more jumped out of the
cars! Had they been so many gentlemen
from 'below' in the character of 'roaring
lions, seeking whom they may devour,'
they could not have occasioned greater
dismay. The Locofoco crowd dispersed
in the utmost consternation the commit
tee 'with hearts in their hands' sloped
through the alleys and by-ways, and the
Ten' who had occasioned all this mis
chief, including the Hon. Charles Brown,
Chas. J. Ingersoll, John W. Forney, and
other dignitaries, were left to find lodging
where they cou'd in which, fortunately,
they experienced little difficulty, as the
hotels were by no means crowded.
It was now settled bevond all doubt
that the turn-out would be a miserable
failure, but in order to make as respect-' apology "unaccustomed as I am to pub
able a show as possible, orders were iv- lie speaking," and drew from his coat

After proceeding through the principal !
streets, cutting a very ridiculous hgure,
the procession moved to the Court House
and organized by the appointment of the
Hon. John Rttter, President, assisted by
a number of Vice Presidents and Secre
taries. Le'ters were then read from the Hon.
James Buchanan, Hon. Geo. M. Keim,
James Page, Esq., and a number of other
office-holders of distinction who were in
vited but could not attend. After which
Governor Shcnk was introduced to the
audience, and made a speech of some
length, evidently written out, and com
mitted to memory, which was delivered
in a style that would have disgraced a
school boy. This brilliant effort was of
that peculiar character which might well
be called
"A. fine sample, on the whole
Oi rhetoric, which they learned called
rigmarole "
He referred mainly to the "organic
structure of our Government," and the
peculiar blessings of our free institutions.
Uts speecn was witnout interest or point,
and created little enthusiasm and less ap
plause." When he sat down the Hou. Morris
Losgstreth. a fine looking rmu, was
trotted cut. He opened, with the usual
being simultaneously exhausted, he mado
his bow and retired to a seat beside hi
j Excellency the Governor.
I he master of ceremonies next an
nounced Col. John W. Forney! and
that gallant individual came forward, bow-
siduu a year piaceu mm above any
fears of ruin that might agitate less for
tunate but more anxious minds, and so
run the burthen of his speech. He was
succeeded by the Governor's son-in-law
Hon. Charles Brown, M. C, of Tin
der box notoriety, who eulogized "Hon
est Frank Shunk," for his vetoes (very
modestly, to be sure, considering the in
teresting relationship he bears to the sub-

He levelled his

whenever the Locofoco party found that
they could get along without such clog
to their natural liberties (and that "good
time was coming," in his opinion,) ha
Charley irown; was the man to intro
duce these agrarian principle into th
government!
The Hon. Jesse Miller next took tha
stand simultaneous with which there was
a rush on the part of the audience for tho
door, not at all complimentary to the Gov
ernor's man Friday. He commenced a
busing the Federalist's most nnmerci ful
ly, at which weobserved Mr. Hutter, Mr
Buchanan's private Secretary, shrug his
shoulders, as if any thing but pleased at
the shafts directed at his patron. There
must have been a good many Buchanan
men present, judging from the number
who retired about this time. The worthy
Secretary soon found that he had made a
faux pas, and surrendered the floor for
want of hearers, before he had gotten
fairly under way.
In the evening the Hon. Charles J. In
gersoll, and E. W. Hutter, Esq., held
forth. Wre were not present but ara
told that the speeches ol these gendemea
were characteristic of their authors. Mr.
Ingersoll chose 'repudiation for his sub
ject, and the burthen of his remarks, was
to screen Gov. Shunk for his repudiary
message to the Legislature of 1845. Ha
also let off a portion of his spleen at Mr.
Webster, irj return for the excoriation re
ceived at the hands of the great Massa
chusetts Statesman last winter. We re
frain from giving his remarks on this
head, as possibly Mr. W. would feci very
bad should he chance to learn the estima
tion in which he is held by this "would
have been a tory." Mr. Ilutter's theme,
was 'Federalism,' a subject which he is
peculiarly fitted to elucidate, from his in
timate acquaintance with the public his
tory and his access to the private papers
of Mr. Buchanan, the distinguished lead
er of the Federal party!
And thus ended the proceedings of this
great day proceedings which were a
disgrace to the high official dignitaries who
participated in them. So far as the Anti
Shunk feeling in this county is concerned
it has served rather to widen the breach
than to mend matters. We are persua
ded that no Mass Meeting which tha
Whig party could possibly have got up,
would have done- So much for Irvin,
Patton and Reform. The spectacle of
the Governor of the Commonwealth, and
the candidate for Canal Commissioner,
accompanied by a train of official depend
ants, travelling round the country, mount
ing the stump, and begging votes as a
street loafer would half-pence, has served
Jut lo dissl uaU right thinking men. It
has proved what has been charged upon
Shunk, that he is so greedy for office as to
have lost all sense of the proprieties of
his official position in a desperate at
tempt to secure for himself more of the
plunder and more of the spoils of our
much abused and misgoverned Common
wealth.
American Courage. The New York
Sun says truly, the complacency xv'iHx
which "General Taylor never surrenders",
has been repeated the world over, is in
itself an indirect libel on our nation. If
General Taylor had commanded the same
number of timid, unwillling Mexicans
that he did of bold, unflinching volunteers,
all Gen. Taylor's courage and the genu
ine American stuff that it is, could not
ward off dtfaaL The chief has proved
the truth "Americans never surrender."
Eloquence. An Illinois lawyer de
fending a thief, wound up his speech t
the jury in behalf of his injured client
with the following appeal: "True he
was rude, so air our bars. True he was
rough, so air our buffalcrs. But hi was
a child of J'reedom, and hi? answer to ths
despot an-1 tyrant wa. tint hit, home was
in the bright fcettinj sun.
