Httil, Lewis Cuss, of Michigan!
BY J. E. DOW
Awake, old spirit of the past — ‘
Awake and put thy armor on—
Nail freedom’s ensign to the mast,
Nor falter till the- fight is won.
Heed not disunion’s croaking voice,
Expose each dark and damning plan ;
Elect the leader of your choice —
The gallant Cass of Michigan.
The sky is thick, the stars grow dim,
The bark of freedom braves the lea,
Her hearts of steel put trust in Him
Who walked.upon the midnight sea;
For they behold a beacon bright
To cheer each faint and sinking man;
And o’er it waving in the light
The name of Cass of Michigan
The grey-beard-soldier leaps for joy,
The seaman on the deep is .glad,
The old frontiersman, when abov,
Remembers the adventurous lad,
Who trod the wilderness alone
Where millions now adore the man
And tell how proudly valor shone
In Lewis Cass of Michigan. ,
What tho’ no Buena Vista frowned
With cannons grim and glittering files
There was a host in battle crowned :
An army from the British isles ; ...
The brave of earth, who proudiv sought
Our native soil with direful ban ;
But they 'a lesson sad were taught
By Lewis Cass of Michigan.
In princely Halls, by gilded thrones,
lie stood the champion of tho free ;
He heard the fettered seaman's groan.
And oped tho prisons of the sea.
The starry flag no longer bowed
To banners borne in Europe's van.
And freemen on tbeir hills were proud
Of Lewis Cass of Michigan.
Finn in the principles of right
By Democratic„sages taught.
He keeps his sword and honor bright.
And wrongs us not in deed or thought
As when the glittering blade was broke.
Before a base, dishonored nuui.
He stands, e’en now, our forest oak —
The gallant Cass of Michigan.

U CR IS EVERY THING
RY JOSEPH 11. CHANDLER,
The.course of true love, it is said. did never yet
run smooth; and those who have had experience
on that turnpike of the auctions, or rather rail
road, as it is soon run over, testimony to the
•jolts, “running off" and mashings up alive, of which
the I '-poets speak. We have no great taste, in this
time of politics and perplexities, to dabble in ‘‘fancy
stocks ” and risk our reputation for gravity ; yet
the illustration of an aphorism of admitted truth,
may be considered seasonable, and Ihe moral de.
duced from the illustration may compensate some
for the trouble of reading it.
In the year 1814—we remember the time well,
because a part of the incidents of the story were
conpected with a great event, an event not likely to
be forgotten—well in the year ISM a young man
who to u visionary mind, ami a consequent want
of _employmcut, added a most desperate affec*
. tiori for a young Indy, quite too good for him. if
business pursuits were alone considered, but just
his fnatch, if confiding affection, purity of mind,
amlrinnocence of purpose, are the reward of largo
endowments, strict integrity, and a desire for honest
competence, without the mupns of obtaining it.
There was no more pleasing young man in the
village than Henry Bradford ; and every body agreed
with his neighbors, that lie was the most agreeable
person, arid the best educated about. But he did
not study law, he despised medicine, and did not
take to the church; he had frequently thought of
Vmerchahdise,*’ but that required a capital, which
he could not raise, and so he did not get ahead,
though he was forever on the brink of some won
derful success, which he certainly would have se
cured, if he had only entered upon the enterprise.
Mary Carver evidently lo ved Henry Bradford; for
knowing that, excepting his handsome person,
pleasing manners, and good character, he had nothin g
to offer, she would not otherwise have been deaf to
the offers of so many young men. whose character
and positions rendered them desirable to the family
These offers were repeated so often, and hints so
-strong were given to slr. and Mrs. Carvel - , that it
was deemed proper after a serious deliberation in
cabinet council, to admonish their daughter that
Henry was in no business, and was riot likely to be
.in ; a way to maintain a family.
Mrs. Carver opened the diplomacy with the
daughter, and, after two or three conferences re
treated under the laugh of Mary,- who declared
that she did-not doubt that Henry would oue day
be rich enough to take care of both, lor he had
,a dream that he .should be. Mrs. Carver had no
disposition to laugh in such a serious mission, and
no desire to be angry with her daughter.
Mary, however, knew that when her father came
t negotiate, she would have to use other arguments
an laughter, and therefore she admonished Henry
of the approaching storm. Henry thought of it
two or three days, an unusual time for him to tie
vote to any thing like Ills personal affairs.
At length the family was honored by a formal
offer from a clergyman in a neighboring town. He
was learned, pious, rich, and respected, and such an
offer was not to be slighted. It was not slighted.
Old Mr. Carver took the subject to heart, and Mrs.
Carver gave her sheer muslin' cap a double clear
starching upon the very .idea of her becoming
mother-in-law to a minister. Mary pondered these
thjifigs in her heart. She saw the improbability of
Henry's ever attaining a situation that would war
rant matrimony. She was listening to her mother’s
account of his want of application to business, his
apparent disregard of all the ordinary means of at
taining competence, and of his utter lack of what
is called common sense; and the old lady conclu
ded her homily with a remark, that she believed
Henry Bradford would think more of a dream of
wealth twice repeated, than of the best prospects
that ever presented business preferment.
‘‘Mother,” said Mary, “ Henry is not a fool.”
“No.” said Mrs. Carver, hesitatingly, “ he is not
a fool certainly.”
‘‘Why, then, do you talk so of him?” asked
Mary. “ But there he is coming now,” continued
the-girl.
“Speak to him plainly, my child,” said Mrs.
Carver.
Mary made no answer, for she was a little mor
tified at the ludicrous turn which her mother had
given to Henry's rather dreamy propositions, though
sheihad never heard him build any castle* in the
air out of any such materials.
Henry came in with his usual pleasant humor,
and sat down by Mary, and, after a few words, he
perceived that something wrong.
“ Mary,” said he, “have you been reading th£
Sorrows of Werter'"
'■ No. Henry, but I have been listening to moth
er s sol-rows—her -lamentations over you. She
sa )'s—" s
“ Never mind what she says, Mary, as I perceive
it is not very good: just listen to‘ what I have to
tell.
“Well, what is it, Henry? I hope it is good.”
“ F.xcellent. capital; it .will be delightful.”
“ Do, then, tell me what it is.”
Why, last Sunday night, f dreamed that —”
“ Dreamed /” exclaimed Mary, with a most do
lorous sigh.
Aye, dreamed.''
l j‘ Well, go on.
tI dreamed that 1 had drawn ten thousand dol
lars in the Plymouth Beach Lottery.
MVell, what then ?"
I* Why. I dreamed the same on Moday night, and
on;Tuesday night, and the number was 5, -1. 3. 2.
Well 1 sent right to Boston on Wednesday, and
purchased the ticket, and here it is; you shall keep
it Mary, and when 1 go up to Boston for the prize
you shall go with me."
Poor Mary smiled mournfully and reproachingly.
Henry left the house, and went home satisfied that
he had made a right disposition’of the ticket.
Day after day, did Henry watch at the post office,
to read the first report of the drawing; but day
after day passed without the desired information.
At length one of the young men was heard to
remark that Henry Bradford had shot out of the
post office, as if he had received some strange in
telligence.
“Mary," said Henry, “here is your lather's pa
per, and look at the returns. No. 5, -I. 3. 2. —tkn
thousand hollars!"
Mary turned pale—the news was unexpected.
‘•Let's go to Boston," said Henry, “and get the
-.honey.”
“ The prizes are payable thirty days after, draw
ing," said Mary, looking at the bottom of the ticket.
That night Mary told her mother of Henry’s
luck.
Mrs. Caiver seemed rather startled.
“ Are you not pleased, mother ?” asked Mary ;
•do you wish to oppose further obstacles to our
iinion f
■ “ Mary," said Mrs. Carver, ‘‘-do you not recollect
the most uncompromising hostility, which your
father has to lotteries—his utter abomination of
money thus distributed l This prize will be worse
:o him than poverty. Ever since they refused to
make him a manager of the Plymouth Beach Lot
.ery, he has set down the whole as gambling, and
ivery prize as the devil's gift for mischief; and, to
say the truth, most people begin to hold opinions
with him."
u Why, mother, every body did not ask to be
made a manager in the lottery.”
•• No, No; but people may, like your father, ur
rrive at correct conclusions from sel£sh considera
tions, and good opinions may become general with
out any special motive for the change.’ 1
The next day Mar)' gave back to Henry his
ticket, with an account of her conversation with her
mother.
Henry was mortified at the.result; he understood
and appreciated the feelings of the “old folks,” and,
in any other person's case, hemighthave approved
of it.
“ Bui what does your futher want <” said Henry.'
“ Does he suppose that the mode adopted to build
churches, endow schools, and finish public works,
is too impure to supply the needy purse of one who
wishes to he his son-in-luw • He is more nice than
“ My father,'' said Mary, “ may not think him
self culled upon to be as particular about what
concerns the public charities, corporations,' or in
different individuals, as he is, and is bound to be,
iu what concerns the respectability of his own
family.”
‘ But if I acquire wealth by lawful means—”
“ Henry, father never asked that.you should be
wealthy; he thought it proper, and he makes it a
condition of our marriage, that you should have
some respectable business, since you have not
wealth."
“ And your lather is right,” said Henry, “ but how
I am to get clear of the odium of my lottery prize,
I can neither see' nor guess."
“ Perhaps you will dream it though," said Mary
archly.
“ I can dream of nothing but schooners, brigs
and ships," said Henry.
“Oh. jf you only owned a good vessel,” said
Mary, “ 1 do not know but father would almost
forgive its coming as a “prize.”
"A prize to a privateer said Henry, “but not in
a lottery." 1
Henry wandered down toward the wharves and
unoccupied ship yards. The war allowed of little
or no work among the ship builders. The hull
of the tine brig lay at the wharf.. She had been
launched a year, and there was none to purchase
her. She was too clumsy for a privateer.
“ Mr. Holmes." said Henry, “what is that vessel
worth V
She is worth twenty thousand dollars,” said the
owner and bu.lder; “ she cost that as she is, and
she will bring twenty-five thousand the very hour
peace is declared.”
‘■■Would you like the money for her at a cash
price?”
“ Nothing would be more acceptable. But there
are not fifteen thousand dollars in the county.”
The remarks of Mary about her father’s respect
for a ship owner had been running in Henry’s head
ever since they were uttered, and he beckoned
aside the owner.
“ Mr. Holmes, :s said Henry, “ I have a commis-
“ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”— Buchanan
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1848.
sion to fulfil, and, as you know lam not much of
a busiuess man, I must ask you to consider a prop
osition which I am about to make to you. and to
answer me explicitly.”
•• Let me hear the proposition.”
“ l will give you ten thousand dollars for the
brig as she now-lies.”
“ And the time of payment”
“ Witliin forty days. You cannot want the mon
ey sooner ; thfe river is frozen over, and you could
not make U6e of the cash before that time." 1
Mr. Holmes turned to Bradford, and said; “You
! know, Henry, that I am aware that you have not
the means of payment and . also that you are a
person not likely to be employed as an agent in
such business, and yet 1 have every confidence in
your word.”
Henry explained fully to the ship owner the state
of his affairs, and exhibited to him the lottery tick
et, No. 5,4, 3. 2.
“ But,” said Mr. Holmes, “there may be some
mistake about the matter, or some failure of the
lottery, by which I should lose.'
Henry explained his motives and wishes, and ini
two hours he held in*his hand a bill of sale of the
brig Hclvetius, which, as the papers were not ob
tained, he immediately renamed Mary. The con
dition was, that Henry was to hold the vessel for
forty days, and if, within that time, he should pay
ten thousand dollars, she was to be his; if no't, she
was to revert to Mr. Holmes, who, in the mean
time, held the ticket as a sort of collateral. The
bill of sale as I saw it, bore date the Oth of Feb
ruary, 1815. Henry , felt, like a new man. He
was ship owner in a place where that character
was a sort of aristocracy. He went day after day
to look at his brig, wishing for jhe time to pass
away for the prize to be paid ; but he said nothing
yet to Mr. Carver.
One evening, while Henry was talking with Mary,
she asked him what he intended to do with his
vessel when the forty days were up?
“ Rig her, bend her sails, and then sell her. or
send her to sea.”
“ Why Henry, it took the whole of the ticket to
buy the hull and the standing spars, and it will take
half as much more to rig her and find canvass ; and.
beside that, how can you sell her for more than
Mr. Holmes could? *
Henry hesitated ; he had not thought of that :
but he did not it would all come right yet-
Henry was sitting the next day on the quarter
rail of his brig, looking at the masts, well covered
with snow and ice, and thinking of the better ap
pearance she would make when the rigger had
done his duty. .At length he felt the hand of Mr.
Holmes upon his shoulder.
“Henry," said the latter. “ 1 am sorry to have
bad news to u*ll you. Read that paragraph in the
Boston Centinel."
“Correction. —The ticket which drew the
highest prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery was
4. f>. 3,2, and not as our compositors stated’ last
week, 0,4, 3, 2. Wc understand that a gentleman
of wealth in the southern part of this town is the
fortunate holder.”
“ What do you say to that. Henry
“Only that the old gentleman will not now s.ty.
that I have the wages of gambling."
“ No. nor will he give you credit of being a ship
owner," said Mr. Holmes. “ You have been unfor
tunate. Henry, and I am sorry for you,” continued
Mr. Holmes, changing his tone considerably; “and
regret my own loss, as I have need of the money ;
but, as you cannot pay for the brig, you better
hand me the bill of sale, and let us destroy it.”
Henry drew from his pocket the precious docu
ment, and while he examined'it from top to bottom'
he said : “ This .affair has been to me like a pleas
ant dream- not only on account of my aspirations
for Mary, which you are acquainted with, but day
after day I have felt a growing pnergy; for business, a
sort of outstretching of the mind, a determina
tion, with such a noble beginning, to proceed cau
tiously but steadily to do what I ought to have
begun years since. Then, Mr. Holmes, as the bill
has yet. some days to run before L can be chargea
ble with violation of contract, I will restore it to
my pocket-book, and, it' I cannot dream as I have
done, I shall not. at least, be awakened too sud
denly."
Mr. Holmes, of course, consented, as lie really
had no right to claim the vessel until the forty days
should have expired; and Henry went up to tell
Mary of the new turn his luck had taken.
Though Mary respected her father too much to
feel pleasure in Henry's new possession, yet she
loved Henry too much not to leel deeply grieved at
his bitter disappointment.
“That dream,” said Henry, donbtingly—‘‘that
dream has not yet come to pass.”
Some days after that there was, us usuul, a gath
ering at the post-office, at some distance from the
ship-yard, awaiting the arrival of the mail. The
stage, at the usual hour, drove up, and the driver
said, as he handed the mailbag into the house, that
he guessed there was better news to day thun he
had brought since the victory on the lakes.
“Another victory. Mr. ’Woodward!”
“ No, not another victory, but Peace!”
“Can you tell me,” said a dapper looking yuung
gentleman, as he slipped from the stage, “ where I
can find Mr. Holmes, the owner of the brig Hel
vetius ?”
“ Mr. Holmes lives on the hill, yonder, was the
reply, “ but it is thought he does not own the Hel
vetius now.”
“ Has not sold her ?"
“Yes."
“ I am sorry for that—who is the owner"?”
“ Mr. Bradford—the young man whom you see
reading the newspaper.”
The stranger stepped into the house, and inquired
of Henry whether he would sell the brig.
• Henry said that he would cheerfully part with
her.
“At what price 2”
“At the peace price,”
“Stage is ready,” said Mr. Woodward, the driver..
“We will ride over to the village,” said Henry',
“and. converse on the matter as we go along."
Henry soon emerged from the stage coach, and
hastened to Mr. Carver's.
" You look cheerful,” said Mary.
“ I have drawn another prize !”
“ Not another, I hope!”
“Yes, and a large one; 1 have sold the brig for
twenty thousand dollars to a Boston House, and I
am to be in Plymouth at four o'clock, to get my
pay at the Bank.”
“But the brig was not yours, Henry. Surely
you are not deranged—you could not hold the brig
after the mistake of the prize was corrected.”
“There is just where you are mistaken, Mary.
There is a bill of sale which allows of 40-days from
date foF the payment. Say nothing to any one,”
eried Henry, “and I will Be with you before I sleep.’-
“What’s the matter with Henry?” said Mrs.
Carver, as she entered tho room; “has he drawn
another prize?”
“ I guess not, mother.” said Mary; ‘,‘only dream
j ing again, perhaps.”
[ At nine o’clock Henry, arrived from Plymouth,
with un accepted draught for ten thousand dollars,
in favor of Mr. Holmes, and a bank book in which
he had credit for an equal sum; and the brig Mary
made some of the most profitable voyages that
were ever projected in Boston.
She was in the East India trade, and, as her
return was noticed in the papers, (audit was usually
' announced about the same time that the very res
pectable family of Bradford had an increase.) —
Henry was wont to exclaim, “luck is every thing.”
Some years after that, twenty-five at least, as I
was riding into Plymouth, with Bradford and his
grand-daughter, I referred to the anecdote, and the
conclusion, that “ luck was every thing."
*! There may be something. in luck, but the
hope which I gathered while I held the ticket,
with the belief that I had a prize, the resolutions
which! formed while sitting and gazing at the
lofty spars of my brig and the confiding virtue, the
filial piety, and the perfect love of Mary did all for
me, and I should have been rich without the brig;
so, you see, it was Hope, contemplation, and wo
man's virtue, woman's piety, and woman's love, that
made me what I am. And let me add, friend C.,
that you and I owe more to woman than the world
cr.edits to her. Let us, at least, do her justice.”
From the Pennsylvanian
The Fourth of July in Old Berks.
We were an humble participant with the De
mocracy of Berks, in the joyous and significant
festivities with which they hailed the last anniver
sary of Freedom's birth in this Western world. In
a contest like the present, when Federalism is des
perate in the'use of rash expedients, suggested by
the abandonment of principle, it is good that we
should go up to these Meccas of Democracy, and
learn from the lips of the fathers of the party, how
they stand affected to the common cause; how they
have met the schemes of ambitious leaders; how
they have ‘treated the recreancy of the heretofore
favored and great. To mingle with such men as
the stern and sturdy republicans of Berks, is not
only to learn wisdom from experience, but to gather
new confidence in the cause, and to be prepared for
all the devices of the foe.
We found bur political friends in Berks, in the
highest hopes. The whole Democratic line is in
motion. There is not a single dissentient in their
massive ranks. Even those who were originally
attracted to Gen. Taylor, in the belief that he was
a Democrat, have fallen into the victorious column,
and are emulous to be foremost in the fight. The i
staunch old republican family uf the Muhlenbergs J
is as close under the Democratic-flag as ever; so <
too. with the Schteners. the Millers, and all those 1
warriors whose white plumes have long waved, and I
are still waving, in the fore front of the republican j
legions. The Federal nomination of Taylor has
fallen dead even in the ranks of Berks county Fed- I
eralistn—which essays with vain and feeble valor .
to break into the serried, lines of it» Den. icrutie
victors. By the Democrats tfiis nomination is re
garded as the evidence that Gen. Taylor, forgetful
of his high fame, has surrounded himself with his
own enemies, and who have opposed and
protracted the just war in which he earned his
lame. The names of Cass and Butler have, on the
contrary, aroused the spirits of the Democracy ol
this great old county, and attracted from the ranks
of an unprincipled opposition, those who cannot
violate all propriety by endorsing the nomination
of Gen. Taylor to the exclusion ol' the long-tried
champions of Whiggery.
Having had occasion to see much of our political
friends in Berks—to address them, twice at length
in the absence of other expected speakers, during
their festivities of Tuesday—to watcli the effect
of the arguments employed against the Whigs—
we say to our friends abroad, look out for a Chapul
tepec triumph in that county in November for Cass
and Butler. • We give no numbers; but do not be
surprised if the majority is over five thousand. It
will be such a blow to Federalism, that like the
man knocked down by a hnge-fisted foe, it will pick
itself up from the dust of defeat, and ask, 11 If the
I lightning slruek any body vise!" o ■
Steamboat Voting.
The practice of deciding . the popularity of a
candidate by taking the vote on board the steam
boats and railroad cars is pretty well hit off in the
following veritable story :
After taking the vote of most of the passengers
on board a steamboat, the tellers came to a party
of German emigrants.
“ Are you for Cass or Taylor?" inquired the IVm
ocrat, addressing a little German.
“ Yaw, me dailnr he said.
The Democrat now asked the little German to
sign his name to the candidate's list in whose favor
he had declared himself.
“ Oh, nix—nix fershta—nq f no write—nix, nix!”
He had learned enough English to keep his sig
nature from papers which he could not read.
“ You say you are for Taylor?” inquired the
friend of the old General.
“ Yaw me dailor” answered the German.
“Well, set him down as one, any how,” said the
former.
“ Aint you for Cass, now?” inquired the Demo*
“Yaw, me cash dailor answered the German.
“ Ain’t you all for CasS?” further inquired the
Democrat, making a sign encircling the whole
deck load.
“ Yaw, all for cash," repeated the German.
“ I know’d it.” said the Democrat, and he instant
ly counted the party and added them •to his list.
Holding the scroll to the German's face, he finally
inquired—
“ All right, aint it ?”
“ Yaw, cash /” answered the German.
It -was not until the vote was decided in favor of
Cass, that it was discovered the German was a tailor,
and meant to do work for cash.
Trials. —Christ was deserted a little before the
glorious morning of light and joy dawned upon
him. It was a little, a very little while, after his
sad cry, before he triumphed gloriously ; and so it
may be with you; heaviness may endure for a
night, but joy and gladness may come in the morn
ing. Let God steer for you in the storm. He loves
to be trusted.
Bachelors. —Dr. Johnson gives the philosophy
of marriage in a few words : “ A married man,”
says he, “ has many cares ; but a bachelor has no
pleasures. Cutting hiqiself off from life's purest
and most exquisite enjoyments for fear of some tri
fling annoyance, he emulates the sagacity of the
wiseacre who amputated his leg to secure himself
from corns.”
National Courtesy. —At noon on the Fourth
of July, the Bremen vessels in the harbor of Balti
more fired a salute in honor of the day. The affair
was happily conceived and handsomely executed.

the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tub, where it is'brought to a boiling state
before it is let into the which pipe is opened
or stopped when requisite by means of a plug made
of-wood, copper, or any other material.
What I claim as my improvements are the above
