Come, while the blossoms of thy years are brightest, Thou youthful wanderer in a flowery maze —. Come, while the restless heart is bounding lightest, And joy’s poor sunbeams tremble in thy ways; Come, while'.sweet thought, like summer buds un- folding, - Waken rich feelingsfin the careless breast, While yet thy hand the ephemeral wreath is hold ing* Come, and secure interminable rest. Soon will the freshness 6*f thy days be oyer, And thy free buoyancy of soul be flowni- Pleasure will fold her wings—and friend and lover * Will to the embraces of the worm have gone! • Those who now love .thee, will have passed forever, Their looks of kindness will be lost to thee — Thou wilt need a balm to heal thy spirit’s fever, As thy sick heart broods over years to be! Come, while the morning of thy life is glowing — Ere the dim phantoms thou art chasing^die — Ere the gay spell, which earth is round thee throw ing* Fades like the crimson from a sunset sky. Life is but shadows, save but a promise given, That lights the future with a fadeless ray — Come —touch the win a hope in heaven; Come, turn thy spirit from this world away. Then will the shadow of this brief existence Seem airy nothings to thine ardent soul— And shining brightly in the forward distance, Will, of thy patient race, appear the goal, Home of the weary —where, in peace reposing, The spirit lingers in unclouded bliss Though o’er the dust the curtained grave is closing. Who would not, early, choose a lot like this. BENEVOLENCE, A benevolent man was Absalom Bess— At each and every tale of distress He blazed right up like a rocket; He felt for all beneath poverty's smart, Who were fated to bear life’s roughest part, — He felt for them in his inmost heart, * But never felt in his pocket, He didn’t knew rightly what was meant By the bible’s promised four hundred per cent., For charity’s' each donation; But he acted as if he thought railroad stocks, And bonds secure beneath earthly locks, Were better, with pockets brim full of rocks, Than heavenly speculation. Yet all said he was an excellent man; For the poor he’d preach, for the poor he’d plan To better them he was willing; But the oldest man who had heard him pray, And preach for the poor in a pitiful way, Could hardly remember him rightly to say Mr. Bess had e’er given a shilling. Oh, an excellent man was Absalom Bess, And the world threw up its hands to bless "Whenever hiß name was mentioned ; But "he died one day, he did, and oh ! He went right down to the shades below, Where all are bound, I’m afraid, to go, Who are only good intentioned. illiscdlaueous. *■ The Discovery HI THOMAS HOOD. “It's a nasty evening.” said Mr. Dornton, the retired stock-broker, as he settled himself in the last inside place of .the last Fulham coach, driven by our friend Mat—an especial friend in need, be it remembered, to the fair sex. “I wouldn't be outside. 1 ' said Mr. Jones, another stockbroker, “ for a trifle.' 1 “Nor as a speculator in options," said Mr. Par sons, another frequenter of the alley. “I wonder what Mat is waiting for." said Mr. Tidwell, “for we are full inside and out." Mr. Tidwell's doubt was soon solved—the coach door opened, and Mat somewhat ostentatiously inquired, what indeed he very well knew—“ I be lieve every place is took up inside?” “We are all here," answered Mr. Jones, on be- half of the usual complement of old stagers. “I told you so, Ma'am,” said Mat to a female who stood beside him, but still leaving the door open to an invitation from within. However, nobody spoke—on the contrary, 1 felt Mr. Hind mars, my next neighbor, dilating himself like the frog in the fable. “I don't know what I shall do," exclaimed the woman, “Tv* nowhere to go to, and it's raining cats and dogs. “You'd better not hang about anyhow," said Mat—“for you may ketch your death—and I am the last coach—aint I Mr.'Jones?” “To be sure you are,”;said Mr. Jones, rather impatiently, “shut the door.” “I told the lady the gentlemen couldn't make room for her,” answered Mat, in a tone of apology. “I'm very sorry, my dear," turning towards the female, “you should have my seat, if you could hold the ribbons—but such a pretty one as you ought to have a coach of her own.” He began slowly closing the door. “Stop.;'Mat,'stop!” cried IvTr. Dornton, and the door quickly unclosed again; “I can't give up my place, for I am expected home to dinner; but if the lady wouldn’t object to sit on my knees—” “Not the least in the world,” answered Mat, eagerly, “you won’t object, will you maam, for once in a way, with a married gentleman, and a wet night, and the last coach on the road?” “If I thought I shouldn’t uncommode,” said the lady, precipitately furling her umbrella, which she handed in to one gentleman, whilst she favored another with her muddy pattens. She then fol lowed herself, Mat shutting the door behind her in such a manner as to help her in. “I’m sure I’m much obliged for the favor,” she said, looking round, “but which gentleman was so kind?” “It was I who had the pleasure of proposing, ' Madam,” said Mr. Dornton, and before he had pronounced the last words, she was in his lap, with an assurance that she would sit as lightsome as she could. Both parties seemed'very well pleased with the arrangement; but Jo judge ac cording to the rules of Lavater, the rest of the company were but ill at ease. For my own part, I candidly confess I was equally out of humor with myself and the person who had set-me such an example of gallantry. 1, who had read the lays of Troubadours —the awards of the “Court of Love”—the lives of the “preux Chevaliers”—the history of Sir Charles Grandison—to be outdone in courtesy, to the sex by a married stockbroker! How 1 grudged him the honor she conferred upon him—how I envied his feelings! I did not stand alone, I suspect, in this unjustifi- able jealousy; Messrs. Jones, .Hindmars, Tidwell and Parsons, seemed equally disinclined to forgive the chivalrous act which 'had, as true knights, lowered all our crests, and blotted our escutcheons, and cut off our spurs. Many an unfair jibe was launched at thfe champion of the fair, and when he attempted to enter into conversation with the lady, he was interrupted by incessant questions of. t: What is stirring in the Alleys? ’ -What is doing in Dutch ?” -How are the Rents?*’ To all these questions Mr. Dornton incontinently returned business-like answers, accordirg to the last Stock Exchange quotations; and he was in the middle of an enumeration, that so and so was very low, and this rather brisk; and that getting up. and operations, and fluctuations, and so forth, when somebody enquired about Spanish Bonds. ‘•They are looking up, my dear” answered Mr. Dornton, seomewhat abstractedly, and before the other stockbrokers were done tittering, the stage ! stopped. A bell was rung, and Mat stood beside I the open coach door; a staid female in a and clogs, with a lantern in her hand, came clat tering pompously down a front garden. ! -Is Susan Pegge come?” inquired a shrill voice. ‘ Yes I be," replied the lady who ha'd been dry nursed from town—•• are you ma am, number ten, Grove Place?" -This is Mr. Dornton's,” said the dignified wo man "in the hood, advancing her lantern —“and— mercy on us! you*re in master's lap!" - A shout of laughter from five of the inside pas- sengers corroborated the assertion, and like a literal cat* out of the bag, the ci-devant lady, forgetting her umbrella and her pattens, bolted out of the coach, and with feline celerity rushed up the gar den, and down the area of number ten. “Renounce the woman!” said Mr. Dornton, as he scuttled out of the stage—“ Why the devil didn t she tell me she was the new cook ?" The Bible. The Bible is the treasure of the poor, the solace | of the sick, and the support of the dying—and while other books may amuse and instruct in a leisure hour, it is the peculiar triumph of that book to create light in the midst of darkness, to alleviate the sorrow which admits of no other alle viation, to direct a beam of hope to the heart, which no other topic of consolation can reach—while guilt, despair and death, vanish at the touch of this holy inspiration. There is something in the spirit and diction of the Bible which is found peculiarly adapted to arrest the attention of the plainest and most uncultivated minds. The simple structure of its sentences, combined'iwith a lofty spirit ot poe try—-its familiar allusions in the scenes of nature’ and the transactions of common life—intermixture of narration with the doctrinal perceptive parts, and the profusion of miraculous facts, which con vert it into a sort ot enchanted ground, its constant advertence to the Deity, whose perfections it ren ders almost visible and pal; able, unite in bestowing I upon it an interest which attaches to no other | performance, and which, after assiduous and re peated perusal, invests it with much of the charm of novelty—like the great orb of day, at which we are wont to gaze with unabated astouishmeiu from infancy to old age. What other book beside the Bible could be read in public assemblies from year to year, with an attention that never tires, and an interest that never cloys? With a few exceptions let a portion of the sacred volume be recited in a mixed multitude, and though it had been heard a thousand times, a universal stillness ensues, every ear awake and attentive. Select, if you can, any other composition, and let it he rendered equally familiar to the mind, and see whether it would ? produce this effect. Don’t toe above your Business. We do. not know that the tallowing anecdote, told of John Jacob Astor, is true, but, truth or fic tion. the moral it embodies is not the less apparent, and we give it for the wholesome lesson it conveys : u Do you ever credit, Mr. Astor T inquired Mr. K <•1 do not credit strangers, sir," was the jepl « unless they furnish satisfactory city references.” •• Then,” quoth Mr. K., “ the skins I have selected must suffice this time," and paying for the same he Tii the afternoon of the same day, just before the sailing of the New Bedford packet, the young tra der returned for his lot of furs. Throwing the whole pack on his back, he left the store, but had not proceeded a dozen yards from the store when Mr. A. called his name, bidding him comeback. “Sir," said Mr. A. “you can have credit for any amount of goods you require, provided they are to be found in my store.” “ But—" stammered Mr. K.,’ “but—my dear sir, I-can give you no city references —I'm a stranger ! here.” “I ask ncr other recommendation,” responded the rich merchant, “ than that already furnished by yourself. The man who is not above his business need never hesitate to apply to John Jacob Astor. 1 ’ Thus commenced a trade between two merchants, which was continued to the satisfaction and advan tage of both of the ,r most eminent capitalists in New Bedford. Logic of Debt and Credit. The Morning Chronicle has a long article on the law of debtor and creditor. The essay is finely conceived and logically conducted; imparting to the trading world in general one unexpected com fort. For instance, “at this moment,” credit is in a most wholesome condition. Hear the Chronicle — “At this moment, not less than nineteen shillings in the pound of everybody's money is fructifying or evaporating, as the casje may be, in the pockets of somebody else.” Now, as nineteen shillings in everybody's pound is one in the pockets of somebody else, it follows that everybody E must owe everybody nineteen shillings 5 and as everybody owes nineteen shillings, and everybody has nineteen shillings to receive, why, everybody, in fact, owes everybody nothing. —London Punch. Goon Hujaon.—Let us cherish good humor and Christian cheerfulness. Let us endeavor to shake off that sullenneßS which makes us so uneasy to ourselves, and to all who are near to us. Pytha goras quelled the perturbations of his mind by the use of his harp. David's music calmed the dis-' traction of Saul, and banished the evil spirit from him. Anger, fretfulness, and peevishness prey upon the tender fibres of our frame, and injure our health. The Grave.— -It buries every error-covers every defect—extinguishes every resentment.— From its peaceful bosom spiing none but fond regrets and tender recollections. Who can look down upon the grave of an enemy and not feel a compunctious tlfrob that he should have warred with the poor handful of earth that lies moulder* \ ing before him.— lrving. “THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” .Buchanan CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMRER 12, 1848.
