BY MB*. M. T, W. CIIANDBBB
11 Fenr no I—lt It .
In the dark hours when the shades of night
Had gathered gloomily upon the wave,
And the huge billows' snow-crested light,
Hut seemed as torches pointing to tho grave;
While the loud surge, which beat against the shore,
Gave utterance to its hoarse voice in tho blast,. ;
The weary mariners still plied tlfe oar,
Though lost the hope to reach the shore at last.
HUSO OS
Yet toiling on, they watched in wild despair
The waters, dashing by in horrid glee; [air,
While their loud shrieks, which rent the troubled
Were lost amidst the roaring 6f the sea.
As thus they gazed, ere the fourth watch was past,
Each cheek was blanched anew with awful dread,
For, amidst, the howling of the blast,
They saw a shadowy form the waters tread.
And yet it nearer drew, a softened light
Shone o’er the brow, and round the angelic head,
And through the storming of that fearful night,
They heard his voice, “ ’Tis I, be not afraid.”
“ If it be thou, hid me coinc unto thee!”
One doubting said, who on the frail ship stood ;
And Jesus answered Come,'” ami on the sea
He walked, aiul safely trod the opposing flood.
But when lie saw around, wave piled on wave,
His fears o’ercame him, and he, sinking, cried,
“ Lord, save me, or 1 perish,” and Christ gave
His hand, and raised him to the vessel’s side.
So thou, my soul, in the dark hour of doubt,
Shall to thy God for help and mercy turn,
Roll back the waves that compass thee about,
And from his succor, faith’s sweet lesson learn.
A Word in Season.
They have a in the East,
That Allah, written on piece of paper,
Is better unction than come of priest,
Of rolling incense and of lighted taper.
Holding, that any scrap which bears that name,
In any characters, its front imprest on,
Shall help the finder through the purging flame,
And give his toasted feet a place t.o rest on.
Accordingly, they make a mighty fuss,
With every wretched tract and fierce oration,
And hoard the leaves—for they are not like us,
A highly civilized and thinking nation.
And, always stooping in the miry "ays,
To look for matter, of this earthly leaven, ■
They seldom, in their dust-exploring days,
Have any leisure to look up to Heaven.
So have I known a country on the earth,
Where darkness sat upon the living waters,
And brutal ignorance, and toil, and dearth,
Were the hard portion of its sons and daughters;
And yet, where they who should have opc'd the
door
Of charity and light for all men’s finding,
Squabbled for words upon the altar floor,
And rent The Book, in struggles for the binding.
The gentlest man among these pious Turks,
God’s living image ruthlessly defaces ;
Their best high churchman, with no faith in works,
Bowstrings the Virtues m. the market places :
The Parish. Christian, whom both sects curse,
(They curse all other men,4ind curse each other.)
Walks through the world, not very much the worse —
Docs all the good he can, and loves his brother.
Think ye the desolate must live apart,
By solemn vows to convent walis confined ?’ !
Ah ! no ; with men may dwell the cloistered heart,
And in a crowd the isolated mind :
Tearless behind the prison bars of fate- •
The world sees not how sorrowful they stand 1 ,
Gazing so fondly through the iron-grate
Upon the promised, yet forbidden land ;
Patience, the shrine to which their bleeding feet,
Day after day, in voiceless penance turn ;
Silence the holy call and calm retreat
In which unseen their meek devotion burn 5
Izifo is to them a vigil that none share,
Their hopes a sacrifice, their love a prayer.

racy, the tory Hume, who was ever ready to lick
absurd pomp, and give a name of infamy to any
valiant spirit that had the courage and true noble
ness to stand forward in 'defence of the rights of
his fellow men ?
Let those who use the name of. Cade as a term
of reproach, remember that the obloquy which
blackens his memory flowed from the same slan
derous pens that denounced as rebels and traitors,
and with terms of equal bitterness, the Hampdens
and Sydneys of England—glorious apostles* and
martyrs in the cause of civil liberty! Let them
remember, too, that,.as the philosophic Mackintosh
observes, all we know of Cade is through his ene
mies—a fact which of itself would impress a just
and inquiring mind with the necessity of examina
tion for itself, before adopting the current siangj of
the aristocracy of Great Britain? (
The very name of Jack Cade, if we take the
pains to look into contemporary historians, is but
a nickname confened upon the leader of the Ken
tish insurrection, in order to increase the obloduy
with which it was the policy of Henry tho Sixth,
and his licentious nobles to load the memory of
that heroic and treacherously murdered man. But
whatever was his name or , origin, and whatever
might have been his private motives and character,
if we judge of, him by the authentic facts of histo
ry alone, we shall find nothing that does not entitle
him to the admiration of men who set a true value
| on liberty, and revere those peril their lives,

Desolation.
their fortunes, and their,sacred honor, to achieve
it from the grasp of tyrants, or defend it against
their encroachments., Nothing can exceed the
grossness of the oppressions under which the people
labored, when Cade took up arms. Nothing can
exceed the arbitrary violence with which their
property was wrested from their hands, or the
ignominious punishments which were causelessly
inflicted upon their persons.—The kingdom was
out of joint. An imbecile and rapacious monarch
on the throne; a band of licentious and factious
nobles around him; a parliament ready to impose
any exactions on the commons; and all the minor
offices of Government filled with a species of free
booters, who deemed the possession of 'the people
their lawful prev—in such a state of things, the
burdens under which the great mass of Englishmen
labored must have been severe in the extreme.
If Cade was the wretched fanatic which it has
pleased the greatest dramatic genius of the world
(borrowing nls Idea of that noble rebel from old
HollingsheadJ to represent him, how did It happen
that twenty thousand men flocked to his standard
the moment it was imfltrled f—How happened it
that his statement of grievances was so true, ami
Ids demands for redress so moderate, that even
according to Hume himself, “ the Council observing
that nobody was willing to light against men so
reasonable in their pretensions, carried the kina lor
safety to Kenilworth f" How did it happen, that
as related by Fabian, that the Puke of Hocking
ham and the archbishop of Canterbury being sent
to negotiate with him, wore obliged to acknowl
edge that they found him right discreet in ids
answers; howbeit thoy could not cause him to lay
down his people, and to submit him (uncondition
ally) unto the’ King's grace.”
But we need not depend upon the opinions of
historians for the reasonableness of his demands.
Hollingshead has recorded his list of grievances and
stipulations of-redress; let those that think the term
Jack’ Cade, synonimous with ignorant and ferocious
rebel and traitor, examine it; let them compare it
with th? grievances winch led our fathers to take
up arms against their mother country- nor lay them
down until they achieved a total separation; let
them look at it in reference to what would be their
own feelings under a tithe part of their wrongs;
and, our life on it, they will pause before they again
use the word in such a sense. Nay more; let them
follow Cade through his whole career; let them
behold him in the midst of insurrection, checking
the natural fierceness ot his followers, restraining
their passions, and compelling them by the severest
orders to respect private property: see him with
drawing his forces each night from London, when
he had taken possession of that city, that its inhab
itants might sleep without fear or molestation:
mark him continually endeavoring to fix the atten
tion of the people solely on those great ends of
public right and justice for which alone he had
placed himself in arms against his king; let them
look at Cade in these points of view, and we think
their unfounded prejudices will speedly give way to
very different sentiments.
Follow him to the close of his career; see him
deserted by his followers, under a general but de
ceitful promise of pardon from the government;
trace him afterwards, a fugitive through the country
with a reward set upon his head, in violation of the
edict which but a few days before had dissolved
him ofthe crime of rebellion on condition of laying;
down his arms; behold him at last entrapped by a
wretch and * basely murdered : weigh his whole
character as exhibited by all the prominent traits
of his life and fortune, remembering too, that all
you know of him is from those who dipped-their
pens in ink only to blacken his name! and you will
at last be forced to acknowledge that instead of
the scorn of mankind he deserves to be ranked
among those glorious martyrs, who have sacrificed
their lives in defence of the rights of man. The
derision and contumely which have been heaped on
Cade, would have been heaped on those who achiev
ed the liberty of this country, had they been equally
unsuccessful in their struggle. It ill then becomes
republicans, enjoying the freedom which they have
achieved, admiring the intrepidity of their conduct,
and revering their memory, to use the name of one
who sacrificed his life in an ill-starred effort in de
fence of the same glorious and universal principles
of equal liberty, as a by-word and term of mockery
and reproach.
Cade was defeated, and his very name lies buried
underneath the rubbish of ages. But his example
did not die:
For freedom's battle, once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though often lost, is ever won.
Those who are curious in historical rcsearrh.
may easily trace the influence of the principles
which Cade battled to establish, through succeeding
reigns. If they follow the stream of history from
the sixth Henry downwards, the}'will find that the
same sentiments of freedom were continually break
ing away from the restraints of tyranny, and that
the same grievances complained of by the leader
of the Kentish insurrection were the main cause
of all the risings of the Commons, till at last the
cup of oppression, filled to overflowing, was dashed
to the earth by an outraged people, the power of
the throne was shaken to its centre, and the evils
under which men long had groaned, were remedied
by a revolution.
Let readers not take things upon trust. Let them
not be turned away from doctrines which have for
their object the more complete establishment of the
great principle of equal rights, by the reproachful
epithets of aristocratic writers. Let them, above
all, not take the worn out slang of other countries
as equivalent to argument: hut subjecting every
thing to the touchstone of good sense ami candid
examination, try for themselves what is current
gold and what is spurious coin. If they look well
into the true meaning of words, they will discover
that neither the Agrarian nor Utopian is a term of
very deep disgrace: that to be called a .Tack Cade,
is rather complimentary than discreditable, and
that even the dreaded name of Jacobins has not
half so odious a meaning as people are apt to sup
pose. In studying the histories of other countries,
he shows a true American feeling, who separates
facts from jho prejudices of the writer, and forms
conclusions for himself as to character and events
in the great drama of existence, (

">Und whore you’re gain," bawled a hawker, as
ho picked up his scattered wares, whilst a dandy
suddenly thrust into tho kennel, launched after the
runner one of those verbal missives which are said
to return, like the boomerang, to those who hmneh
ed them.
But on, on, scampered the Teetotaller, heedless
of all impediments—on he scoured, like a he Ca
milla, to the shop, numbered 24U, with the red,
blue, and green bottles in the window—the chem
ist's and druggist's—into which lie darted, und up
to the little bald man at the desk, with barely
breath enough left to gasp out “My wile!” “Poi
son!" ami “ Pump!”
“ Vegetable or mineral *" inquired the surgeon
apothecary, with professional coolness.
“Both—all sorts —laudanum—arsenic —oxalic
acid—corrosive sublimity”—and the teetotaller
was about to add pine apple rum, amongst the poi
sons, when the Dr. stopped him.
*• Is she sick V'
“No!" But remembering the symptoms over
night the teetotaller ventured to say, on the strength
of his dream, that she was turning all manner of
colors, like a rainbow, and swelling as big as a
house.
“ Then there is not a moment to lose,"' said the
Esculapius, and accordingly dapping on his hat
and arming himself with the necessary apparatus,
u sort of elephantie syringe with a very long trunk
—he set off at a trot, guided-by the teetotaller to
unpoison the rash and ill-fated bacchanalian, Mrs.
Barrage.
“ And did he save her?"
“My dear madam, be contented tp let that issue
remain a little, and accumulate interest, like a sum
in the saving's bank. -
Now. when the teetotaller, with the medical man*
at his heels, arrived at his own house, Mrs. Bur-;
rage was still in her bed-room, which was a great 1
convenience, for before she could account for the
intrusion of a stranger, nay even without knowing
how it was done, she found herself seated in the
easy chair: and when she attempted to expostu
late, she felt herself choking with a tube of some
thing. which was certainly neither maccaroni. nor
stick-liquorice, nor yet peppermint.
To account for this precipitancy, the exaggera
ted representation of her husband must l>e borne in
mind: and if his wife did not exhibit all the dying
dolphin-like colors that he had described—if she
was not quite so blue, green, yellow, or black, as
he had painted her, the apothecary made sure she
would soon be, and consequently went to work
without delay, where delays were so diftigerous.
Mrs. Burragp, however, was not a woman to
submit quietly to a disagreeable operation, against
her own consent; so with a vigorous kick, and
push'at time, she contrived to rid herself
at onceofthe doctor and his instrument, and indig
i nantly demanded to know the meaning of the as
sault upon her.
“ It's to save your life—your precious life, Ellen,"
said the teetotaller, very solemnly.
-It's to empty. the stomach, ma*m," said the
doctor.
“ Empty a fiddle,” retorted Mr. B. who would
have added “ stick ; ” but the doctor, watching his
opportunity, h?d dexterously popped the tube again
into her open mouth—not without a fresh scuffle
from the patient.
“ For the Lord's sake. F.llen,” continued the tee
totaller. confining her’ hand, “do, do, pray do sit

“1 won't/’ shouted Mrs. Burrage, having again
released herself from the instruirtcnt by a desperate
struggle. -What am Ito be pumped out for?"
“Oh, F.llen. F.llen," said the teetotaller, “you

“Corrosive salts and narcotics, I 'put in the doc-

totaller.

American and English Women.
The American girl at 18 is one of the most
beautiful of living beings, but at 30 sheds passe.—
At 40 the English woman is in her prime. Whence
comes the difference—from their respective habits
of living, The American woman lives in hot
houses and takes very little exercise abroad, and
when she does, she is ill protected against the wea
ther. Tho English woman rides, walks, practises
archery, and other exercises in the open air, and is
always properly clad to meet the exigencies of the
weather. Hence her beauty is a perennial bloom.
One is a Hot house plant that withers on exposure,
the other a hardy tree that flourishes in every

Reminiscences, t
A letter writer from Philadelphia, in the Boston'
Courier, culls up these recollections of what has
been in that city:
' Philadelphia, though abounding ill wealthy ltlClt
still, has fallen from the high position she once oc
cupied in this respect, Monuments of (this fall are
strikingly conspicuous, Before my window stands
the stuffed hide of the thirty-live million "monster,"
stuffed now with Uncle Sam's revenue ] inrehments,
The victor occupies the house of the slain. It
stands a perpetual monument of the fact that no
"monster,however powerful, is powc ful enough
to successfully combat the "unterriliod c emocrocy."
More emphatic still speaks a little sign the bigness
of a man's hand, a little farther down tic street, by ,
the Bide of an unpretending stairway leading to a
small dusty room, which echoes only tj> the tread
of a grey and wait looking clerk, Oil this little
sign Is written, "Olllce of the Trustees of the Bank
of the United States," Here, In this decried room,
lies the withered heart of the beast wilioso name
was Leviathan, For nil thu rest, where Is It I.

A Dreadful Case of Suffering
A Woman Fuozkn to Death. —The! Utica
Herald gives the particulars of a strange j affair
which has just come to light in Oneida county,
New York. About six weeks ago, a German
named Anthony Himes, residing in ConstablWille,
Lewis county, married a young woman residing at
Deerfield Corners, in Oneida county. He took her
to his home at Constableville, and some daysjafter
the marriage, was heard to declare that they Would
not live together six weeks. About one weelcago,
Himes appeared, somewhat intoxicated, at! the
house of his wife's parents, in Deerfield, and report
ed that his wife had perished of cold in the woods,
on the IHth, and had been buried. Himes’ accpunt
of his wife's death was in substance as. follows:
He said thay had been together at church on: the
afternoon of Sunday, the 10th tilt. They were re
turning home in company with two men, andWl
reached witnin forty rods and in sight of their own
house, when Himes and the two men stopped to
talk with some other men in relation to building a
school house, leaving Mrs. Himes walking towards
home; Htf soon followed on, but could get no sight
of his wife. On reaching home, he prepared ! his
own supper, and made inquiries of the neighbors,
but none had Seen his wife. She did not return
, during the night, and thenextday asearch wasniade
for her, which was not successful till near night
fall, when she was found in a dense piece of forest,
about six miles in a direct line from the- house
dead, and frozen stiff. Though within so few miles
of home, it appeared from her tracks in the snow,
that she had wandered about forty miles through
the forest. ! ;
The hotly was buried without the knowledge of
any of the woman's friends or parents, though in
the neighborhood; anil other circumstances, seemed
to render the whole affair suspicious. On disinter

The people in one of the out parishes in Virginia,
wrote to Dr. Rice, who was then ut the head of the
Theological Seminary,in Prince Edward, for a min
ister. They said they wanted a man of first rate
talents, lor they had run down considerably, and
needed building up. They wanted one who could'
write well, for some of the young people were very
nice about This matter. They wanted a man of
very gentlemanly deportment, for some thought a
good deal of that. And so they went on describing
a perfect minister. The last thing they mentioned
was, they gave their minister three hundred and!
fifty dollars; but if the Doctor would send them!
such a man as they described, they would • raise!
another fifty dollars, making it four hundred. The ;
Doctor set down and wrote a reply, telling them ;
they had better forthwith make out a call lor old ’
Dr. Dwight, in Heaven; for he did not know of
any one in this world who would answer this de
