Song of the Burman Lover.
BY MAJOR CALDER CAMPBELL.
Oh, come with mo, in my little canoe,
For the tide is high, and the sky is blue,
And the wind is lair, and 'tis sweet to row
To the isles where the mango-apples grow .
Oh, come with ine, and be my love,
And for thee, the jungle depth 1 11 rove ;
I'll gather the honey-comb, bright as gold,
And seek out the elk's most secret fold.
I ll chase the antelope over the plain,
And bind the tiger cub with a chain ;
And a young gazelie, with silver feet,
I'll bring thee for a playmate sweet!
I'll climb the palm for the bya's nest.
And red peas I'll gather to deck thy breast;
I'll pierce the cocoa for its wine,
And twine thee posies, if thou It be mine !
Then come with me in my light canoe,
While the waters are cairn and the skies are blue,
For should we linger another day,
.Storms may arise and love decay!
Evening Prayer.
ET L. H. s.
I.ct the hours of night and rest
With thy mercy, Lord, be blest;
Make me pure and free within
From all taint or love of sin.
If throughout the day that's gone.
Anything amiss I've done, —
If, in act, or, wish, or word,
Thy displeasure I've incurred,—
Grace and thy good spirit lend,
To repent and to amend ;
Walking in thy love and fear,
Let me view thee ever near.
Let me choose my Saviour's cross.
Counting earth's poor riches dross ;
Let thy mercy move mine own,
In kind words and actions shown.
Let thy angels guard my bed ;
Be thy peace around me shed ;
Bid all ill and danger flee,—
Let me wake and live for thee ;
Or if called in haste to die,
Let me join thee in the sky,—
Dead alone to sin and pain,
There, with thee to live and reign.
Hear me, too, for kindred dear ;
All—thou'st taught—are brethren here,
Friendly hostile —great and small,
Jesus died—l pray—for all.

The Tree that never Fades.
4 Mary, said George,' 4 next summer I
M ill not" have a garden. Our pretty tree
is dying, and 1 won't love another tre,e as
long as I live. I will have a bird next
summer and it will stay all winter.
4 George, don't you remember my beau
tiful canary bird, and it died in the middle
of the summer, and we planted bright
flowers in the ground where M-e buried it ?
My bird did not live so long as the tree.'
1 Well, 1 don't see as we can love any
thing. Little brother died before the bird,
and 1 loved him better than any bird, tree,
or flower. Oh! I wish we could have
something to love, that wouldn t die.
4 George, let us go into the house. I
don't want to look at our tree any longer.'
The day passed. During the school
hours, George and Mary had almost for
gotten that the tree was dying; but at eve
ning as tbev drew their chairs to the table
where their mother was sitting, and began
to arrange tbe seeds they had been from
d.u to day gathering, the remembrance of
tiieir tree came upon them.
4 Mother,' said Mary, 4 you may give
these seeds to cousin John; I never want
another garden.'
4 Yes,' added George, pushing the pa
pers in which he had carefully folded them,
towards his mother, 4 you may give them
all away. If 1 could find some seeds of
a tree that would never fade, I should love
to have a garden. 1 wonder if there ever
was such a garden, mother V
4 Yes, George, I have read of a garden
where the trees never die.'
4 A real garden mother?'
4 Yes, my son! In the middle of the
garden, 1 have been told, there runs a pure
river of water, clear as chrystal, and on
each side of the river is the tree of life —
a tree that never fades. That garden is
Heaven. There you may live and love
for ever. There will be no death—no la
ding there. Let your treasure be the tree of
life, and you will have something to which
your young hearts can cling, without dis
appointment. Love the Saviour here, and
he will prepare you to dwell in those
green pastures and beside those still waters.'

Colonel Crickley's Horse.
BY PAUL CREYTOX.
I have never been able to ascertain the
origin of the quarrel between the Crick
leys and the Drakes. They had lived
within a mile of each other in Illinois, for
five years, and from the first of their ac
quaintance, there had been a mutual feel
ing of dislike between the two families.
Then some misunderstanding about the
boundary of their respective farms, re
vealed the latent flames ; and Col. Crick
ley having followed a fat buck all one af
ternoon and wounded him, came up at
dark, and found old Drake and his sons
cutting him up ! This incident added
fuel to the fire, and from that time there
was nothing that the two families did not
do to annoy each other. They shot each
other's Ducks in the river, purposely mis
taking them for wild ones, and then, by
wav of retaliation, commenced killing oil'
each other's pigs and calves.
One evening, Mr. Drake the older, was
returning home, with his " pocket full of
rocks," from Chicago, whither he had
been to dispose of a load of grain. Sam
Barston was with him on the wagon, and
as they approached the grove which inter
vened between them and Drake's, he ob
served to his companion—
-1 What a beautiful mark Colonel Crick
ley's old Roan is over yonder.'
' Hang it!' muttered old Mr. Drake, 1 so
it is.'
The horse was standing under some
trees, about twelve rods from the road.
Involuntarily, Drake stopped his team.
He glanced furtively around, then with a
queer smile the old hunter took up his ri
fle from the bottom of the wagon, and
raising it to his shoulder, drew a sight on
the Colonel's horse.
4 Beautiful,' muttered Drake, lowering
his xilie with the air of a man resisting a
powerful temptation. 4 1 could drop old
Roan so easy !'
4 Shoot,' suggested Sam Barston, who
liked fun in any shape.
4 No, no, 'twouldn't do,' said tiic old
hunter, glancing cautiously around him
again.
4 I won't tell,' said Sam.
4 Wal I won't shoot this time, any way,
tell or no tell. The horse is too nigh. If
lie was fifty rods ofi' instead of twelve, so
there'd he a hare possibility of mistaking
him for a deer, I'd let fly. As it is, I'd
give the Colonel five dollars for a shot.'
At that moment, the ('olonel himself
stepped from behind a big oak, not half a
dozen paces distant, and stood before Mr.
Drake.
4 Well, why don't you shoot ?'
The old man stammered in confusion—
-4 That you, Colonel ? I—l was tempted
to, 1 declare. And I said, I'll give a \ for
one pull.'
4 Say an X and it's a bargain !'
Drake felt of his riile, and looked at
old Roan.
4 How much is the Loss wulli V he mut
tered in Sam's ear.
4 'Bout fifty.'
4 Gad, Colonel, I'll do it ! Here's your
X !'
The Colonel pocketed ids raonev mut
tering—
-4 Hanged if 1 thought you'd take me
up !'
With high glee, the old hunter put a
fresh cap on his rifle, stood up in his
wagon, and drew a close sight on old Roan.
Sam Barston chuckled. The Colonel put
iiis hand before his face and chuckled too.
4 Crack !' went the rifle. The hunter
tore out a horrid oath, which I will not re
peat. Sam was astonished. The Colo
nel laughed. Old Roan %ever stirred.
Drake stared at his riile with a face as
black as Othello's.
4 What's the matter with vou. hev
Fus' time you ever served me such a
trick ; I swan !'
And Drake loaded the piece with great
warmth and indignation.
4 People said you'd lost your nack of
shooting,' observed the Colonel, in a cut
ting tone of satire.
4 Who said so ? It's a lie !' thundered
Drake. 4 I can shoot—'
4 A horse at ten rods ? ha ! ha !'
Drake was livid.
4 Look yere, Colonel, I can't stand that!'
he began.
4 Never mind, the horse can,' sneezed
the Colonel. 4 I'll risk you.'
Grinding his teeth, Drake produced
another ten dollar bill.
4 Here !' he growled, 4 I'm bound to
have another shot, any way.'
4 Crack away,' cried the Colonel, pock
eting the note.
Drake did crack away—with a deadly
aim too—hut the horse did not mind the
bullet in the least. To the rage and un
utterable astonishment of die hunter, old
Roan looked him right in the lace, as it
he rather liked the fun.
4 Drake,' cried Sain, 4 you re drunk!
A horse at a dozen rods—oh my eye !
4 Just you shut your mouth, or 111 shoot
you!' thundered the excited Drake. Ihe
bullet was hollow I'll swear. The man
lies, that says I can't shoot. Last week
I cut off a goose's head at fifteen tods, and
kin dew it again. By the Lord Harry,
Colonel, you can laugh, but I'll bet now,
thirty dollars, 1 can bring down your old
Roan at one shot.
FRIDAY EVI!\L\, JAM'ARY SO, IS 52.
The wager was readily accepted. The
stakes were placed in Sam's hands.—
Elated with the idea of winning back his
two tens and making an X into the bar
gain, Drake carefully selected a perfect
ball, and even buckskin patch, and beaded
his rifle.
It was now nearly dark, but the old
hunter boasted of being able to shoot a bat
on the wing by starlight, and without any
hesitation, he drew a clear sight on old
Roan's head.
A minute later, Drake was driving thro'
the grove, the most enraged, the most des
perate of men. 11 is rifle, innocent victim
ol his ire, lay with broken stock on the
bottom ot the wagon. Sam Barston was
too much frightened to laugh. Meanwhile,
the gratified Colonel was rolling on the
ground convulsed with mirth, and old Roan
was standing undisturbed under the trees.
When Drake reached home, his two
sons discovering bis ill humor and the mu
tilated condition of his rifle stock, has
tened to arouse his spirits with a piece of
news, which they were sure would make
him dance for joy.
4 (Tear out!' growled the angry old man;
4 1 don't want to hear any news ; getaway,
or 1 shall knock one of you down !'
4 But father it's such a trick !'
4 Blast you and your trick !'
4 Played off on the Colonel—'
'On the Colonel V cried the old man,
beginning: to be interested. ' Gad, if YOU
j have played a trick on the Colonel, lei's
■ hear it.'
' Well, father, Jed and I, this afternoon
! went out lor deer—"
; 4 Hang the deer ! come to the trick.'
' Couldn't lind any deer, but thought we
i >nWit shoot something, so Jed banged
j away at the Colonel's old Ivoan —shot him
| dead !'
' .Shot old Roan ?' thundered the hunter.
* By the Lord Harry, Jed, did yon shoot
: the Colonel's hoss V
4 i didn't do anything eDe.'
• Devil ! devil!' groaned the hunter.
' And then,' pursued Jed, confident the
joke part of the story must please his
fatiier, • Jim propped tiie hoss up, and tied
I his head back with a cord, and left him
i standing under the trees exactly as it' he
, was alive. Fancy lite Colonel going to
catch him ! ho! ho! ho! wasn't it a
joke V
\ Uhl Drake's head fell upon his breast,
lie felt lor his empty pocket-hook, and
looked at his broken rifle. Then in a rue
ful tone he whispered to the boys—
-4lt is a joke ! But if YOU ever tell of
it—or if you do S un Barston —I'll skin
you alive ! By the Lotd Harry, boys,
I've been shooting at that dead horse half
an hour, at ten dollars a shot.'
At that moment, Sam fell into the glit
ter. Jed dragged hint out insensible;
Sam had laughed himself almost to death.

til contemplating the blissful state of ma
trimony, how amiable and kind you sud
denly become. ou shake hands with
vour office boy, as ii" lie were your second
cousin. \ou joke cheerfully with the
stout washerwoman ; and give her a shil
ling over-charge, and insist upon her keep
ing it; and grow quite merry at the recol
lection of it. You tap your hacktnan on
the shoulder very familiarly, and tell hiui
he is a capital lellow ; and don't allow
him to whip liis horses, except when driv
ing to the post office. You even ask him
to take a glass of beer with you upon
some chilly evening. Aou drink to the
health of his wife, lie says he has no
wife ; whereupon you think him a very
miserable man ; and give him a dollar by
wav of consolation. Vou think all the
editorials in the morning papers are re
markablv well written —whether upon \ our
side or upon the oilier. You think lite
slock market has a very cheerful look—
u itli Erie —of which you arc a large hold
er—down to seventy-five. \ou wonder
why you ever admired Mrs. Hemuns be
fore, or Stoddard, or any of the rest.
You give a pleasant twirl to your lingers,
as you saunter along the streets ; and say—
but not so loud as to be overheard— 14 fc*he
is mine—she is mine !"
You wonder if Frank ever loved Nelly
one hall as well as you love Madge !
You feel quite sure he never did. ou
I can hardly conceive how it is, that Madge
has not been seized before now by scores
; of enamoured men, and borne oil", like the
Sabine women in Romish history. ou
I chuckle over vour future, like a boy who
j has found a guinea in groping for six
pences. You read over the marriage ser
vice—thinking of the time when yon W 'H
take her hand, anil slip the ring upon her
! linger; and repeat after the clergyman —
44 for richer—lor poorer ; for better —lor
worse !*' A great deal of "worse" there
will be about it, you think! Through
all, your heart cleaves to that sweet image
i of the beloved Madge, as light cleaves to
: day. The weeks leap with a bound ; and
the months only grow long when you ap
proach that day which is to make her
j yours. There arc no flowers rare enough
Ito make boquets for her; diamonds are
too dim for her to wear ; pearls are tame.
And alter marriage, the weeks are even
shorter than before ; you wonder why on
earth all the single men in the world do
—
: not rush tumultuously to the altar; you
look upon them all, as a traveled man will
look upon some conceited Dutch boor,
who has never been beyond the limits of
his cabbage garden. Married men, on the
contrary, you regard as fellow voyagers ;
and look upon their wives—ugly as they
may be—as, better than none. You blush
a little at first telling your butcher what
| "your wife" would like ; you bargain with
■ the grocer for sugars and teas, and wonder
I it he knows you are a married man ?
You practice your new way of talk upon
your office boy ; you tell hitn that 44 your
| wife" expects you home to dinner, and are
astonished that he does not stare to hear
you say it ! You wonder if the people
in the omnibus know that Madge and
, you are just married ; and if the driver
knows that the shilling you hand to him is
for 44 self and wife ?" You wonder if any
; body was ever so happy before, or ever
j will be so happy again ? You enter your
name upon the hotel books as 44 Clarence
—and lady ;" and come back to look at
it—wondering if any body else has no
ticed it—and thinking that it looks remark
■ ably well. You cannot help thinking that
every thiid man you meet in the hall wish
es he possessed your wife ; nor do you
think it very sinful in him to wish it. You
fear it is placing temptation in the way of
, covetous men, to put Madge's little gaiters
outside the chamber door at night. Your
home, when it is entered, is just what it
should be; —quiet,small—with every thing
she wishes, and nothing more than she
wishes. The sun strikes it in the happi
est possible way:—the piano is the sweet
est toned in the world ;—the library is
stocked to a charm :—and Madge, that
blessed wife, is there, adorning and giving
life to it all. 'To think, even, of her pos
sible death, is a suffering you class with
the infernal tortures of the Inquisition.
You grow twain of heart and purpose.
Smiles seem made for marriage ; and you
wonder why you ever wore them before !
A Loafer's Soliloquy.
4 Oh, dear! oh, dear! what a world
this is. This world ' as Shakespeare very
beautifully remarks, 4 is all a cattle show,
for man's allusion given—and—and wo
man's too.' Thai's a fact. Shakespeare's
right. This here is a very—a v ery check
ered life.
This world is given to faultfinding tre
menjus. Now here's my wife—kicked
up a row, just because 1 went to bed with
my overcoat, boots and hat on, when she
knew that 1 wanted to get up airly in the
inornin', and start oil' iinmejiily on 'por
laiit business. She's very particular to
inquire what business it is that calls me so
airiy—but 1 won't tell 'cr. She's no
right to interfere in my business. I don't
interfere in hers. 1 don't never ask her
where she buys groceries and provisions,
and gets trusted lbr 'cm without throvviu'
a wav money for 'em.
And then she finds fault with mc for
spendiu' so much moncv for licker.—But
what am i gout' to do ? Dicker's cash.
It can't be boil without the dimes. She
says it hurts me and makes my hands
peel,—says that it wouid take a great deal
of new milk to make a man's hands peel
bad.— What o' that ? Hain't the men
that sell lickcr got to live Ilovv can
they pay rent if nobody patronizes 'em ?
—That's a question that goes to my heart
like an arrcr. When 1 think of the high
rents thai tavern-keepers have to pay, 1
al'avs go and take su'thing just to help
'cm along. I've tho't a good deal about
iliis lately—and, now I think of it, the} 'vc
riz ott what's his name's rent across the
wav, and I'll just go over and give him a
lilt.— 4 Oh, dear! tiiis is a checkered life.'

The iVevt Presidency.
The papers of both political parties are
busily engaged in discussing the claims
and qualifications of the numerous l'resi
idential aspirants, and speculating as to the
probable results of the respective Conven
tions. Cass and Buchanan are the promi
nent candidates on the Democratic side,
and the contest between the friends of these
rival aspirants to the Presidential honors,
is conducted with unexampled spirit and
vigor, and characterised by great bitter
ness. The Buchananites, conscious of
their superior strength, give no quarter,
and cry 44 war to the knife" against all op
ponents ; while the Cassites, equally de
termined and furious, proclaim not only
44 war to the knife," but if need be, 44 the
knife to the hilt" against the followers of
the 44 old Federalist." From present indi
cations, we incline to the belief tiiat the
44 House of Lancaster" is in the ascendant
—that Buchanan will not only carry the
Pennsylvania delegation, but will be the
j nominee of the Baltimore Convention.
| So mote it be.
Among the Whigs, several distinguished
gentlemen have been mentioned in connec
tion with the Presidential nomination, viz :
Gen. W INFIELD SCOTT, President FILL
MOKE and DANIEL WEBSTER. These
great men all have their warm personal
and political friends ; but whatever may
be the result of the National Convention,
its action will receive a hearty and unani
mous endorsement. Should the represen
tatives of the National Whig party, in
general Convention assembled, select for
our standard-bearer the scar-covered, lau
rel crowned Hero of Lundy's Lane, Chip
pewa and Mexico, W INFIELD SCOTT, there
lives not a whig in this broad land who
would not glory in following sucli a leader
into the thickest of the light. If. on the
1 other hand, Mr. FILLMORE, or Mr. WEB
STER, should be nominated, they would be
1 supported with equal cordiality and una
nimity. Principles are everything—men
j are nothing. Whigs are actuated solely
by motives of Patriotism ; they are gov
erned bv great leading principles; and
whoever is put forward as the Presidential
representative of these great principles,
the Whig masses will honor and support.
We all have our personal partialities and
preferences; but whatever diflereuccs of
opinion with regard to men, exist in our
ranks now, when the day of trial comes
the enemy will find the patriotic Whigs of
i the Union united and linn.
In the Southern and South-western
States, the Whigs are moving with much
unanimity in favor of Mr. FILLMORE. In
Massachusetts and some other New Eng
land States, Mr. Webster has friends who
are aciive in his behalf. In Ohio, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and else
where, the great majority of the Whigs
are warmly and strongly for Gen. SCOTT.
Here in Pennsylvania, the Whig party
respect and honor Mr. FILLMORE, for the
manly ami patriotic discharge of his Presi
dential duties, and cordially endorse and
sustain the policy of his wise Administra
tion. At the same time, however, the fact
cannot be disguised that the sympathies of
the masses are with Gen. SCOTT, whose
nomination thev prefer above that of any
: other man living. They are devotedly at
tached to the 44 Conquering Hero," whose
whole life has been employed in defending
his country, and bearing her starry flag in
triumph through every contest. Regard
ing him as the most available candidate,
and believing that his claims have been t >o
long deferred, the people now ask for
44 JUSTICE TO GEN. SCOTT." \Y e are pre
pared to bow to the decision of the Whig
i National Convention, and to support its
nominee with cordiality and to the best ol
our humble ability.
