BEAUTIFUL, BALLAD.
<S»Th6i following exquisite ballad, says the Johnstown
Tnlmnti was written by Joseph Brennan an Irish Exile
who died In hew Orleans several years ago, ofConsnmp
■tion. It is addressed to his wife, and is touchingly beauti
ful: > \
Come to mp, dearest, I’m lonely without thee ;
Bay-time and night-time I’m thinking about thee;
Night-time and day-time in dreams I behold thee
Cnwelcome the walking that ceases to fold thee.
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to lighten;
Come in th(y beauty, to bless and to brighten;
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly;
Come in thy lovfngness, queenly and holy.
Swallows will flit round the desolate ruin.
Telling of Spring and its Joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love, and its manifold treasure,
Are circling my heart with a promise of pleasure.
Oh, Spring of my spirit! oh, May of my bosom!
Shine ont on my soul till it bourgeon and bloaasm;
The past of my ICfd has a rose-root within it,
■And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can win it.
Figures that move like a song through the even’
Features, lit up by a reflex of heaven—
£yca like the skies of poor Erin, our mother.
Where shadows opd sunshine are chasing each other:—
Smiles coming seldom, but child-like and simple,
Opening their eye* from the heart of a dimple;
Oh, thanks; to the Savior! that even thy seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew 1 was gladdened;
Dear, are ypusad now to hoar 1 am saddened!
Our hearts over answer in tune and in time, love.
As octave to octavo, and rhyme unto rhyme, love,
I cannot weep, but:your tears will ho flowing,—
You cannot smile hut my cheek will be glowing ;
I would not die without you at my slde/love* .
You will not linger when I shall have died, love.
Come to me, dear, fere I die of my sorrow,
Rise on my! gloom like the Bun of to-morrow—
Strong, swift and fond os the words which I speak, love,
With a song on your Ups and a smile on your cheek, love,
Come, for my heart in your absence is weary,
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary;
Come to the' heart which is throbbing to press thee.
Come to the arms that would fondly caress thee.

From the Boston Post.
Daniel Webster and John Mamma-
The Rev. Mr, Milborn relates the fol
lowing anecdote of the late Daniel Web
ster :
“ One night, before railroads were built,
be was forced to make a journey by pri
vate conveyance from Baltimore to Wash
ington. The man who drove the wagon
was such an ill-looking fellow, and told so
many stories of robberies and murders,
that before they baa gone far Mr. Web
ster was; somewhat alarmed. At last the
wagon stopped in the midst of a dense
wood, when the man, turning suddenly
round tb his passenger, exclaimed fiercely
—“ Now, sir, fell me Who you are.” Mr.
Webster replied in a faltering voice, and.
ready to spring from the vehicle, “ I am
Daniel Webster, Member of Congress
from Massachusetts.” “ What ?” rejoined
the driver, grasping him warmly by the
hand, are you Webster ? Thank God!
Thank God ! You were such an ugly chap
that I took yon for a a highwayman.”
To the Editors of the Tost:
Gentlemen^—l take the above paragraph
from your paper of the 27 th of August.—
It is not usually worth while, to notice
such stray anecdotes, but this is so wholly
untrue, and presents Mr* Webster in so
unpleasant and unbecoming a manner,
that I do not like to let it pass. '
I do. hot know the KeV. Mr. Milburn,
and it fs evident he did not know Mr.
Webster, and has been imposed upon, or
he would not have given circulation- to
such a story.
The real facts from which this arose are,
I suppose, the following, and are not en
tirely uninteresting—and unlike the “ an
ecdote, 1 *; are characteristic of the man.
In May, 1813, when Mr. Webster was
on his way from Portsmouth, N. H., to
Washington, to take his seat for the firsf
time in i Congress, at the extra session of
that year, the! stage coach in which he was
broke down ojn the road a dozen or fifteen
miles North of Baltimore, in the evening.
Some of the! passengers returned on foot
to the tavern they had left, or sought
shelter jin the houses along the road ; some
remained by the coach 4 but Mr. Webster
walked |on ahead to the nearest tavern.
On airriving at this, he stated to the
landlord ibis name and business, and in
quired if he could not procure a convey
ance to; fake him on that night to Balti
more. iThe landlord undertook to furnish
him one. In the meantime Mr. Webster
ordered some supper, which was got ready
for himj in a.:- small room, into which he
was shown, find which adjoined a large
bar-robin, the door was opened, every
now then by the young woman who
waited 6n (hb table, ho glanced info this
large jrbom, pretty well filled with people
dr?hieing and talking, and his attention
was attracted to a largo powerful looking
mop] who Seamed to take the lead in gen
eral copyersatibn and to be the great man
of the crowd: After a while he inquired
of the young woman who that apparently
coimidanffilcpereon yraa, and was told that
it was John Mfimma, thebatcher.
Now] in the Baltuhore riots, which took
place id the'proceeding year/July, ISI3,
[independent in everything.]
and in which Gen. Lingam was killed, and
eight or nine other gentlemen left for
dead, this John Mumma was a conspicu
ous leader, and took a prominent parti in
the assault upon and the capture of the Jail,
where the unfortunate gentlemen were
sent for protection, and was generally sup
posed to have killed Gen. Lingam himself.
Of course his name was well known all
over the country, and was represented and
believed to be a most ferocious and dan
gerous ruffian.
After supper was over the landlord
came in and announced a vehicle was
ready at the door. Mr. Webster paid for
his sapper, put on his overcoat, and went
out. An old-fashioned no-top gig was at
the door, and a man sitting in it; and, as
the landlord held up his lantern, for the
night was very dark, to show Mr. Webster
the step into the vehicle, who should he
see for his driver but John Mumma him
self ! It was too late to turn back; and
though he would hardly have chosen such
a companion, on such an occasion, —one
who had billed one man for being a Fed
eralist, and might think well to kill an
other, —yet, as he used to say, he did not
think that'“ any man could put him easily
under the wheel”—he got in, and off they
drove for their fifteen miles midnight trip.
They proceeded at a great pace for some
distance with but little conversation, and
that of an ordinary kind—on the roads,
the weather, the night, the speed of the
horses and so forth, —until having reached
the middle of a long tract of forest, the
driver suddenly pulled up and stopped
short. Turning round upon Mr. Webster,
he said, “ Do you know who you are dirv
ing with ?”
Mr. W. replied, “ Oh, yes, very well ;
John Mumma the butcher, the man who
killed Gen. Lingam.”
“ And are you not afraid to ride with
me at this time of night 1”
“ Not in the least.”
“ You are Daniel Webster, a Federal
member of Congress from New Hamp
shire ?”
“Yes I am.”
After a slight pause, and looking Mr.
Webster full in the face, and their faces
had to be very near each other, the night
was so dark, Mamma moved on.
He then proceeded to say that he had
volunteered to drive Mr. W. when he
heard who he was, for the purpose of talk
ing with him about the Baltimore riots. —
He said in substance, that he had been
greatly misrepresented. That he had
wished no barm to Gen. Lingam or any
of the others; but that word came out into
the country that traitors in Baltimore
were plotting against American liberty,
and all true friends of the country were
called upon to come in and put them down.
That he went in with others, believing it
all to be true, and thought he was doing
his country service. That hearing he
was a federal member of Congress, he
wanted to tell him about it, just how it
happened.
Mr. Webster used to say it was evident
he felt the load of obloquy under which he
labored, and desired to relieve himself of
it; tLat he was as good natured a fellow as
ever lived, but bold, powerful, and under
strobg excitement had been led to commit
an act which he sincerely regretted.
He left Mr. Webster at the door of the
hotel, took a friendly and kindly leave of
him with a cordial shake of the hand, and
drove off in his old rattling gig, refusing
all compensation for his service.
These are, gentlemen, the facts, as I
have frequently heafd them from Mr.
Wehsters own lips, as nearly as I can
recollect them, and it will be seen how lit
tle they resemble the statements of the
above “anecdote.” F. W.
New York Morals. —The New York
Tribune says the very latest affair is that
of a wealthy merchant- down town, has
found a deficit of §lO,OOO in the account
of one of his clerks. He called the de
faulter to account, and told him that if

would arrest and expose him. The clerk
mindly informed his employer that he
should not return the cash, and that he
further concluded that he had a sufficient
offset, “ Offset!” said the merchant, “ what
do you mean by offset?” “I mean my
wife,” returned the clerk. Not another

A new way of making; locomotives

additional adhesion is said to be fully sev

upon the Fitchburg road, near Boston,
with excellent results.

A Young Wife Dies Broken, Hearted*
■ - • j J t
In tbe. Obituary department of tbe
Journal, published at Palmer, Mass., we
find tbe following announcement : A
“Died— Mary, aged 20, wife 1 of De Witt
Clinton Packard, of Providence, R. 1.”
In the editorial column there is a sad
and touching story, relating to the an
nouncement which we annex below. It
is a lesson from the ‘tomb, to the young
and thoughtless, and told so: eloquently,
that it cannot faik4o make an impression
for good on readers of every age It says:
“In another column we record the
death of a young lady, who died of a bro
ken heart. We do not like to trespass
upon the sacredness of domestic grief, to
unfold the details of her sad story ; but
when the privacy of affliction becomes
public feeling, it is not improper for the
Press to place the events on record. It
is not necessary to repeat names or relate
minute particulars. It is enough that wc
draw the outlines .of a picture for the
reader to paint with appropriate colors.—
Many months ago, in the neighboring
town of Belchertown, a young man sought
and received the promise of the hand of a
young lady, whose home was in the lap of
luxury, whose mental and personal attrac
tions made all pleasant around! her. Like
too many confiding ones of her sex, she
trusted man’s unhallowed promise and
yielded all to him. From that hour he
estraged himself from her, mid removed
to a distant State. When it became evi
dent that he had exposed himself to the
penalty of the law, at the request of her
friend he returned to her to fulfill the
vows he had long before made. They
were married in one of those hasty, un
ceremonious ways, which occupy but lit
tle time or attention. Late in the even
ing they returned to her father’s house,
where he left her in the street, promising
to return in a short time. But that prom
ise was never fulfilled. She wrote to him,
and received encouragement thathe would
soon provide a home for her; but delay
followed delay, till her letters kn 3 entreat
ies were, unheeded and unanswered. At
length a pledge of woman love for her
husband came into the world to open new
fountains of affection to the young wife.
Still the husband and father came not.
“ The mother recovered from confine
ment j but after repeated letters to her
husband found no answer, the idea that
she was deserted by him forced itself upon
she gave way to despondency and
despair. The child, partaking of its
mother’s grief, soon . died. There was
nothing that she could live for now, and
though suffering from no disease, she sank
upon a dying bed. Then the swift wing
of lightning bore to the distant husband
the intelligence that she was dying. He
still hesitated, hut at length set out to
meet his expiring wife. Conscious that
her hours were few, she onljr wished to
live long enough to see her husband; he
was still all to her. Her last< words to
her friends were: “ Tell him that 1 Still
love him—that I died for him/’ When
evening shadowed the earth the husband
came. As he approached the bedside of
his injured wife, he was recognized, and
the words “He’s come,” burst frojp her
lips. Already had the wing of the death
angel cast its shadow over that dwelling,
and she was entering the dimness of the’
dark valley. Next morning, in that room,
lay the corpse of a beautiful young wife,
on which the husband had looked for the
last time, kqd departed.
“ Last Sabbath afternoon, the funeral
of the young \Hfe took place under her
father’s roof. Her neighborsand friends
to the number of five hundred, were pres
ent; but the hushandNvho left her to
die for him was not there. A deeply af
fecting address was made\by her former
pastor, and just as the sinking
behind the western hills, four ypung la
dies of her acquaintance, clad in garments
of white, bore her to a grave in thmgar
den, where the green turf was laid gently
over her. Such is the story of one who
died broken hearted. The grave is a
quiet place for the injured wife, but where
flf all the world can there be pgace for him
who would thus faring sorrow 1 and death
upon her? .The story has its moral, but
we will leave the reader to apply it; it is
full of warning, and we leave the young to
heed it. ;"

How a Dog Reason*.
The Utica Herald relates the following
story of the almost human intelligence of a
dog:
A .farmer living in New Hampshire had
a dog which had grownmld in the service
of the family. Having become very Tee*
ble and useless, and having, . moreover,'
lost nearly all his teeth, the farmer told
his family one morning, in the prssenco
of the dog, that he thought he would takft :
him out into the woods and shoot him.—"
Almost immediately the venerable brut?
disappeared. The premises were thor
oughly searched, butln vain. Three days
elapsed, and nothing wasseen of the mus
sing dog. This was the more remarka
ble, as he had occupied his place regular
ly by the fire-side for many years.** Fi
nally, the owner having occasion to. creep
under the barn floor in search of some
thing which had fallen through, found the
dog crouched up in a 3ark corner, trem
bling with fear, and whinning piteously.
Struck with compassion, he said, in a kind
voice, c( Don’t bo afraid, old dog | you
shan’t be shot.” The poor creature leap
ed towards his mastre, licked his hands
and face, ran joyfully toward the house,
and took his old place in the chimney cor
ner. It is hardly necessary to add that he
was permitted to spend the rest of his days’
in peace.
