SERENADE.
Look out upon the night, lady,
'Tis sweetest in life's iiours ;
Theloving moon is kissing now
The little loving flowers
The air goes whisp'ring by, lady,
And murmurs to each tree
As softly with its perfumed breath
As I would fain to thee!
Look out upon the night, lady,
Look out on yonder star ;
It gazeth on its earthly love
Night after night afar ;
My love is like that star, lady,
"it burnetii bright and fair,
And though a cloud may dim its ray,
It still burns brightly there !
Look out upon the night, lady,
See how the moon awakes
A thousand things to live and love
In ail the forest brakes ;
Thy love was like the. moon, lady,
O'er all it shed its light,
And made my life a lovely thing—
How beautiful, how bright!
Look out upon the night, lady,
The moon is growing dim ;
A mighty storm grows o'er the sky.
And hushed is night's low hymn*
So dimmed beneath life's cloud, lady,
The light of love to me—
And like you moon, so fled the hope,
The hope i had in thee!
Look out upon the night, lady,
See how thy love's decay
Has spread a shadow o'er my heart—
My light has passed away ;
Do'st see yon dark abyss, lady,
So full of shadows strange,
Where light showed many a lovely form !
E'en such is my heart's change !
Look out upon the night, lady,
For love aione 'tis meet—
Its magic and its loveliness,
Alas! like it are fleet!
The dew-drops on the grass, lady,
Beneath the glare of noon,
Leave not a faintc-r trace behind,
Nor pass one-half so soon !

SEW SPA PER PATRUNACE. j
r
This tiuug called newspaper patronage
:■> a curious thing. It is composed of as
many colors as a rainbow, and is as change- j
iUe as a chamclion.
One man subscribes for a newspaper and
;.us for it in advance; he goes home and
•ids it with the proud satisfaction that it
.-. his own. He hands in an advertise
ment, asks the price and pays for it.—
This is newspaper patronage.
Another man says please to put my name
on your list of subscribers ; and he goes off"
without as much as having said pay once.
He asks you to advertise, but says nothing
about pay for it. Time passes, your pa
tience is exhausted and you dun him. He j
il es in a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps j
not.
Another man has been a subscriber a
•ng time. He becomes tired of you and
u 'dnts a change. Thinks he wants a city '
piper. Tells the postmaster to discontin
ue, and one of his papers is returned to you
marked 44 refused." Paying up for it is
among the iast of his thoughts ; besides he
ar.ts his money to send to a city publisher, j
After a time you look over his account,
a:id see a bill of 44 balance due." But does
:.e pay it cheerfully and freely f YVe
av 4 him to answer. This, too, is news
;per patronage.
Another man lives near you—never took
• our paper—it is too small —dou t like the
-.tor—don't like the politics—loo Whig- j
t - i, or too something else —yet goes reg- j
- sriv to his neighbor and reads his by a
xl fire —finds fault with its contents, dis
x-s its positions, and quarrels with its ,
y. Occasionally sees ail article he likes :
-M*es half a dime and begs a number.
' too, is newspaper patronage.
Another sports a fine horse, or perhaps
pair of them—is always seen with whip
ind and spur tn foot —single man —no ;
for him to take a newspaper—knows
• jh. Finally he concludes to get mar- j
<—d >es so —sends a notice of the fact
'■ a 4l please publish and send me hall
/ a copies." This done, does he ever j
• for notice or papers? No hut purely j
J don't charge for such things !' Ibis j
i newspaper patronage.
' v >ther man (hle-s you, it does us good
hucii a man) comes and says the
which 1 paid is about to expire, j
I want to pav for another. He does
1 "I retires.
•D* r H not newspaper patronage a
" thing ? and in that great day i
hnilest men get the reward due to j
' ><>** ty, which ay you, of those enu- |
above, will obtain that reward ? j
* *iil be seen that, while certain
"of patronage are the very life and
'tice of a newspaper' there ate cer
'•o'tr kinds that will kill a paper stone
YANKEE DECISION.
Sometime between the years 1812 and
14, when considerable animosity existed
between the people in Canada and the
United Stales, and when some of the Brit
ish subjects who were "dressed with a little
brief authority," looked upon the yankees
as but little better than brutes—the follow
ing is said to have taken place at the Cus
tom House at St. Johns :
A Yankee of considerable dimension en
tered the office and informed the officer
that he wished to enter the load and re
ceive a passport. The officer.cast a sarcas
tic look at him, and said that it was cus
tomary for people when they entered his
office to receive passports to take off their
hats, and requested him to do so immedi
ately.
" No, 1 thank yer," said the Y r ankee, "1
j gin four dollars and a half for that hat to
keep my head and ears warm."
" Y'ou impertinent puppy," said the offi
cer, working himself into considerable of a
passion, " how dare you insult mo ? OIT
with your hat immediately."
" No, sir-ee, can't do it, keeps toy head
proper warm."
After several orders of a similar kind
accompanied with curses and threats which
met with no better success, he stepped up
to him and gave his hat a blow which sent
it to an adjacent corner of the room. The
Yankee paid no attention to this, but
waited patiently until he had received his
passport, folded and safely deposited it
within his wallet,and was ready to pursue
his journey, when, turning to the officer,
he requested him to pick up his hat and
put it on his head.
The officer, who was wroth, ordered
him to leave the office, or he might get in
to trouble—for he did not waste words with
men of his description.
" I say, mister," said the Y'ankee, " you
must pick up my hat, and that in one min
ute's tune, or you shall feel the weight of
these mauls," shaking his fists nearer to
his lordship's face than was agreeable.
The officer raved and swore all to no
effect, and then threatened to cane him, if I
he did not depart.
44 Mister," said the Yankee, 44 time
passes considerable kinder fastand at the
same time beginning to unbutton his coat, !
" and you had better be going after that •
hat."
After several more threats, which had
the desired effect upon his opponent, and
the titne being nearly expired, he sneaked
off for the hat, and offered it to the owner,
but he was not satisfied with that, and or
dered him to put it on his head, precisely
as he found it. The officer hesitated, but
seeing the determination of the Yankee, he
set it upon his head, and was about to de
part when he was collared and ordered to
place it as he found it.
"Here," said the Yankee, " tuck this
hat under, pul! it down more in front, stick
under that left ear," etc., all of which or
ders the officer reluctantly fulfilled. "That,
sir, that's about right," said the Yankee,
"and now, my friend, before 1 leave, I'll
gin you a small word of advice —never
meddle with a yankee's hat, unless you are
prepared to take a peep into futurity.—
Good morning, sir."
Speech of Lot Doolittle,
On the Bill for the Protection of If<n
Roosts.
Mistur Speaker —I've sot here in my
seal and hcered the opponents of this
great nashunal measure expexlorate agin
it, till I'm purty nigh bursted with indig
nant commotions of my laseerated sensibil
ities. Mistur Speaker, are it possible that
men can he so infatuated as to vote agio
this bill? Mistur Speaker, allow rne to
picture to youi axcited and denuded im
agination some of the heart rending evils
which arise from the want of purtection to
hen roosts, in my vicinity, among my con
stituents. Mistur Speaker, we will sup
pose it to be the awful and melancholy
hour of midnight—all nature am hushed in
repose —the solemn wind softly moans
through the waving branches of the trees,
and nought is heered to bieak the solemn
choly stillness, save an occasional grunt
from the hog-pen ! I will now carry you
in imagination to that devoted hen-house.
Behold its peaceful and happy inmates,
gently declining in balmy slumbers on
their elevated and majestic roosts ! Look
at the aged and venerable and highly re
spectable rooster, as he keeps his silent
vigils with patience and unmitigated watch
fulness over those innocent, helpless hens
and pullets ! Just let your eyes glance
around arid behold that dignified and mat
ronai hen, who watches with tender solici
tude and paternal congaulatiori of those httle
juvenile chickens who crowd nround their
respectful progenitor, and nestle under her
circumambient wings.
Now I ask, Mistur Speaker, am there to
be found a wretch BO lost and abandoned
as will enter that peaceful and happy a
bode, and tear those interesting little bid
dies from their agonised and heart-broken
parents ? Mistur Speaker, 1 answer in
thunder tones, there am ! Are there any
thing so rr. ?an and sneaking as such a rob
bery 1 No, there are not ! You may
search the wide uuiver-e, from the natives
who repose in solitary grandeur and super
lative majesty under the shade I*ll
! cetlara that grow upon the tops of tlie flitn
| muleh mountains in the valley of Josophat,
down to the degraded and barbarous sav
ages who repose in obscurity in their mis
erable wigwams on the rock of Gibralter
in the Gulf of Mexico, and then you will
be so much puzzled to find any thing so
mean, as you would to see the earth re
volve around the sun once in the twentyfour
hours without the aid of a telescope.
Mistur Speaker, I feel that I have said
enough on this subject to convince the
most obstinate member o( the unapproacha
ble necessity of a law which shall forever
and everlastingly put a stop to these fowl
proceedings, and I propose that every con
victed offender shall suffer the penalty of
the law as follows:
For the first offence, he shall he obliged
to suck twelve rotten eggs, with no salt
on 'em.
For the second offence, he shall he oblig
ed to set on twenty rotten eggs, till he
hatches 'em.
Mistur Speaker, all 1 want is for every
member to act on this subject according to
his conscientiousness. Let him do this,
and he will he remembered everlastingly
by a graceful posterity. Mister Speaker,
I've done. Where's my hat ?
'1 he eloquent gentleman, according to
the Boston Post's report, here donned his
sealcap, and sat down, apparently much
exhausted.
What Are You Lookinz For ?
A man was angry with his wife, as was
often the case, either because she talked
too much or contradicted him, or for some
othei reason ; in short he was out of humor
with her, and resoived not to speak a single
word to her for a long, long time. He
kept his resolution for a few days very
strictly.
One evening he is lying in bed, and wish
es to sleep ; he draws his night-cap over
his ears, and his wife may say what she
will, he hears nothing of it.
The wife then takes a candle, and car
ries it into every hole and corner ; she re
moves stools, and chairs and tables, and
looks carefully behind them. The hus
band sits up in bed, and gazes inquiringly
at her movements; he thinks that the din
must have an end at last.
But he is mistaken. His wife keeps on
looking and searching. The husband loses
patience and cries—
-44 What are you looking for ?"
" For your tongue,," she answers, "and
now that 1 have found it. tell me why you
are angry ?"
Hereupon they become good friends j
again.
POETICAL.— In a city well known to
every hod} , (if they can find out the name,)
a poetical genius was hauled before a ma
gistrate for kissing a girl and kicking up a
dust, and the following dialogue ensued:
Magistrate—ls your name John Jay ?
Piisoner —Yes, }our honor, so the peo
ple say.
M agistrate— Was it you that kissed the
girl and raised the alarm ?
Prisoner-Yes, your honor, but I thought
it was no harm.
Magistrate —You rascal ! did you come
here to nuke rhymes ?
Prisoner —No, your honor, hut it will
happen sometimes.
Magistrate—Be o(T, you scamp, get out
of my sight.
Prisoner —Thank'ee, your honor, then
I'll hid you good night.
SSORIXO. —" My uncle P was an
awful snorer. He could be heard further
than a blacksmith's forge, but my aunt he
came ?o accustomed to it that it soothed
her repose. They were a very domestic
couple, and never slept apart for many
years. At length my uncle was required
to attend a court, at some hundred miles
distant. The first night after his depar
ture my aunt never slept a wink ; she uns
eed the snoring. The second night passed
away in the same manner, without sleep.
She was getting into a very bud way, and
wuuhl possibly have died bad it not been
for the ingenuity of a servant girl ; she
took the coffee mill into my aunt's cham
ber, and ground her to sleep at once.

SATURDAY, JUYF 23, 1849.
The Ultraist Cualilion.
We have noticed more than once the
extraordinary combination which unites the
| Nullifiers of the South and the Abolitionists
iof ilie North in a harmonious agreement
upon the subject of disunion. 44 A contin
uance in the Union, as it is," say the Nul
lifiers, 44 will ruin us politically and pecu.
niarily, and corrupt us morally." The
Abolitionists chime in with beautiful con
cord. "We confess," such is their lan*
| guage, 41 that we intend to trample under
loot the Constitution of this country ; wc
i call upon you to do likewise."
It is kind in these gentlemen, having
such formidable intentions, to give the coun
try notice of their designs. We have no
doubt but that they truly deplore the ne
cessity they are under of trampling upon
the Constitution, and would avoid such an
unpleasant extremity if they could do so
consistently with their sense of solemn ob
ligations. The fly sitting upon the ox's
horn was not more distressed ai the idea of
his being oppressive to the ox, apologising
in the most polite manner for persisting in
such a liberty, than are these friends of
man, under the self imposed persuasion
that they are bound 10 dissever the Union
and destroy the Constitution. A painful
duty, especially to the tenderhearted !
But since the thing must be done, the
sooner the agony is over the better. It is
annoyiug, and to nervous persons extreme
ly worrying, to live in the constant appre
hension of a great catastrophe ; as, for in
stance, to go to bed, night after night,
not knowing but that they may wake up
in the morning and find the Union broken
and the Constitution ttumpled under foot.
Willing to know the worst, rather than
continue in a state of deplorable uncertain
ty and alarm, we venture to suggest to the
amiable philanthropists of tho North and
the inflammable fire-eaters of South Caro
lina, that agieeingas they do in their high
and solemn purpose of destroying tho U
mon, they should meet together in Conven
tion, and fix upon some system of co-oper
ative action, by which their great cause
may be forwarded, and be put in the way
of a successful consummation. We under
take at once to invite them to meet in the
city of Baltimore—a central point, easy of
access, and known to be a hospitable place.
Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Gariison might fra
ternize here with loving sympathy, and to
the great edification of surrounding specta
tors. There are many convenient struct
tires in our city where the Convention
might h<-Id its sittings ; but in view of its
great design, and with an eye to properac
commodation, we might mention the top of
the Washington Monument as admirably
adapted to tho purpose proposed. The
municipal authorities will probably have
the city clean by the time the Convention
meets, so that, altogether, the delegates i
mav expect to have a very good time.

lie envied not the pomp and power
Of kings in their triumphant hour,
The deeds that win a lofty name,
The songs that give to bards their fame.
He sighed not for the gold that shines
In Guinea's brooks, in Ophir's mines;
lie stood not at the festivals
Of nobles in their gorgeous halls.
He walk'd on earth as wood-streams pass,
Unseen beneath the freshened grass :
His were pure thoughts, and humble faith,
A blameless life, and tranquil death.
He kept in days of strife and wrath,
The christian's straight and narrow path,
But weep thou not—we must not weep—
When they who rest in Jesus sleep.
Think of it, Reader.
In a few short years—perhaps a year or a
month—perhaps to-qiorrow—you may be called
hence, and forced to part with all your fine
possessions. You must lay down your pride—
for Heath humbles all—you must resign your
wealth, and take up your little abode among
the worms ! What a humiliating thought that
the millionaire—the proud beauty—all the en
vied of earth—may to-morrow be food for
worms ! Isn't that an extremity, reader ? If
people would think more, there would be less
vanity and more real happiness on earth. The
i richest man is as poor as the beggar—aye,
! a thousand times poorer, when death knocks at
| his door—lor all his wealth cannot prolong
| life an hour. Who is rich, then? The man of
1 millions ?. No. The beggar?— No. Who, then?
He who fears God, and loves his neighbor as
himself. Neither money nor position can make
man happy.
IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
BY ADDISON.
There is not, in my opinion, a more
pleasing and triumphant consideration in
religion than that of" the perpetual progress
of the soul towards the perfection of its na- i
ture, without ever arriving at a period in it.
To look upon the soul as going on in
strength, to consider that she is to shine
with new accessions of glory, and brighten
to all eternitj r , that she will be adding vir
tue to virtue, and knowledge to knowledge,
carries in it something wonderfully agreea
ble to that ambition which is natural to the
mind of man. Nay, it must be a prospect ;
pleasing to God himself, to see his creation
forever beautifying in his eyes, and draw- i
ing nearer to him by greater degrees of re- ;
semblance.
Methinks this single consideration of
the progress of a finite spirit to perfec
tion will be sufficient to extinguish all en
vy in inferior natures, and all eontempt in
superior. That cherubim, which now ap
pears as a God to the human soul, knows
very well that the period will come about
in eternity, when the human soul shall be
as perfect as he himself is ; nay, when she
shall look down upon that degree of per
fection as much as she now falls short of
it. It is true, the higher nature still ad
vances, and by that means preserves his
distance and superiority in the scale of be
ing ; but he knows that, how high soever
the station is of which he 6tands possessed
; at present, the inferior nature will at length
mount up to it, and shine forth in the same
1 degree of glory.
With what astonishment and veneration
may we look into our own, where there are
such hidden stores of virtue and knowledge,
such inexhausted sources of perfection !
We know not yet what wo shall be, nor
will it enter into the heart of man to con
ceive the glory that will be always in re
serve for him. The soul, considered with
its Creator, is like one of those mathemat
ical lines, that may draw nearer to ono an
other, for all eternity, without a possibility
of touching it; and can there be a thought
so transporting as to consider ourselves in
these perpetual approaches to HIM who
is not only the standard of perfection, but
of happiness.
FoilE I G N IV EW S
BY THE STEAMER CAMBRIA.
From the intelligence brought by this
steamer, we select the latest items of news
published in the city papers :
ENGLAND. —There has been no further
debate in Parliament relative to the affairs
of Canada. Lord Clarendon, who had
been on a visit to London, has returned to
Dublin.
Nothing has transpired to induce the be
lief that the Irish State prisoners, under a
sentence of death, will be pardoned.
Extrerno misery still pervades unhappy
Ireland. Such is the destitution in one
particular district, that a corpse recently
washed ashore, was seized and greedily
devoured by tho starving inhabitants.
The cholera has made its appearance in
London, and prevails also in many parts
of the country.
FRANCE. —The dissolution of the French
National Assembly took place on the2ith,
and passed over without tumult. Tho new
Legislative Assembly met for the transac
tion of business o.i the '2Bth, and oil the
30th was the scene of one of the most vio
lent debates that ever occured in any de
liberative body. The French Expedition
ary forces are still encamped outside ol
Home; M. Lcsscps, the envoy, having to
tally failed thus far to persuade the llo
mans to admit the French either as friends
or as enemies.
Upon a close analysis of the election, it
appears that about two hundred and ten,
New Scries—Vol. 3 —No. :*.•
or at most two hundred and forty ultia
democratic members have been returned,
which is something more than double the
number that they were expected to elect,
and will give them a vastly greater influ
ence in the present, than they possessed iri
the old Assembly. There are rising of
, ."300 members elected by the various other
parties, but they are so split up and divi
ded in sentiment, that it is considered
doubtful about their being able to unito
upon leading questions of public policy.—
Personal disputes among the leading mem
bers of the several parties, would seem to
give small promise that the President will
be able to select a ministry strong enough
to carry on the Government with that de
gree of firmness so much to be desired.
VEMCE.-The Austrians are making tre
mendous efl'ortsto take the fort of Malgher,
but as yet wtihout success. Upwards of
500 shells are thrown every day, but they
bury themselves generally in the sand, and
do no harm. General Haynau having sent
an order to the consuls that all foreign ves
sels of war were to leave Venice, theso
' gentlemen have replied that they can re
ceive no orders from an Austrian general,
but that they want instructions from their
! governments. Food is becoming very
scarce in Venice.
A difficulty has occurred between the
Austrians and Americans at Leghorn.—
i The American ships before Leghorn took
| upon themselves to save the greater part
i of the compromised persons, or leaders of
! the revolution of Leghorh—some say, as
I Brother Jonathan always does, as a mcr
| cantile speculation.
THE PATAE STATES.
London, June 2.—We have letters from
Rome to the 23d u!t. They state that the
armistice between the French aud Romans,
which would expire on the 25th, had been
extended for ten days. The Austrian Gen
eral, Aspre, was advancing on Rome at the
head of between 12,000 and 15,000 troops ;
but General Oudinot had forwarded a dis
patch to the imperial officer, requesting
him to suspend his march for the piesent.
The defeat of the Neapolitans, on the 19th,
at Velletri, is confirmed. The Minister
of War and Marine of Rome, Joseph
Avezzana, publishes two bulletins signed
by Roselli, Commander in Chief of the
Roman troops sent against the Neapoli
tans; the first, dated from head quarters
under Velletri, at one o'clock after mid
night on the 20th, stating that the Neapol
itans, 6000 in number, sallied from Velletri
on the 19th and attacked the Roman van
guard under Garibaldi, but were repulsed
with the loss of 30 prisoners and many
dead and wounded ; the main body coming
up under General Roselli, then attacked
Velletri, and the fire lasted till dark. The
second bulletin is dated from Velletri
itself, at half past nine a. m. of the 20th,
and announces that the advanced detach
ments, sent forward to reconnoitre, discov
ered that the town had been evacuated
during the night by the Neapolitans. The
Romans were in the act of entering it at
the time stated by the bulletin.
Letters from Naples dated the 22d ult.,
confirm in every way the Roman accounts
of the defeat of the Neapolitan force at
Velletri.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. —Accounts
from Venice, dated May 28, announce offi
cially that the fortress of Buda was taken
by assault on the 21st. The Vienna Re
forme of tho 29th May states that the prin
cipal officer was killed ; all the Crotian offi
cers and soldiers were put to the sword,tha
castle and some private houses were pil
laged. The major who commanded the
troops from the frontiers, occupying the
fortified bridge with 200 men, ordered
them to blow up the bridge; but he was not
