BY ritAtfClS QUARLr.H, Behold How short, a span To measure out the Mb of man 1 In thoie well-tempered dayn, his tim« wait then Surveyed, cast up, and found but threenoore yenni And what ia that ? They come, and idide, and puna, Before my pen can tel) thee what. The posts of time are swift, which having run, Their seven short stages o’er, their short-lived task Our days Begun, we lend To sleep, to antic plays And-toys, until the first stage end : Twelve waning moons, twice five times told, To unrecovered loss —we rather breathe than live. We spend A ten year’s breath Before we apprehend What ’tie to live, or lear a death; Our childish dreams are filled with painted joys Which please our sense awhile, and waking prove How vain, How wretched, is Poor man that doth remain A slave to such a state as this ! Hie days are short, at longest; %w, at most; They are but bad, at beat; yet lavished out, or lost. They be The secret springs That make our minutes flee On wheels more swift than eagles’ wings: Our life’s a clock, and every gasp of breath, Breathes forth a warning grief, till time shall strike How soon Our new-born light 3 Attains to tull aged noon ! And this how soon to gray-haired night! We spring, we bud, we blossom, and we blast, . Ere we can count our days, our days they flee so They end When scarce begun; And ere we apprehend That we begin to live, our life is done. ; Man, count thy days, and if they fly too fast For thy dull thoughts to count, count every day thy miscellaneous. the leg of mutton OR, THE CURIOUS ADVENTURES OF THE MAN WHO WENT TO MAIIKF.T. I am going to state to you the remarkable ad ventures of a very remarkable man, who went to market to get a leg of mutton for his Sunday din ner. I have heard or, read somewhere or other, almost similar stories, whether they were real or imaginary, I am totally unable to say •, but I can vouch for the authenticity of my story, for I knew the hero well. In the year 1812, It will be recollected that we , had some military disputes with old England, and , which elicited some, pretty tall fights by sea and | land, and “the land we live in"'was considerably , excited upon the subject, and patriotism rose to many degrees above blood heat. Philadelphia, about that time, like all othercities, I suppose, was the scene ol much drum-beating, marching, and countermarching, and volunteering of the patriotic people. The president sent forth his proclamations the governors of the respective States reiterated I them, and a large portion of our brave republicans were soon in or marching to the battle field. There lived and wrought at his trade—carpenter ing in the city of Philadelphia, about that time, a very tall man, named Houp, Peter Houp, that was •his name. He was a very steady, upright and honest man, married, had asmall, comfortable family,and to all intents and purposes seemed settled down for life. How deceptive, how unstable, how uncertain is man, to say nothing of the more fail portion of creation—woman. Peter Houp one fair morning, took his basket on his arm and off he went to get a leg of mutton. Beyond that object of research, Peter never dreamed of extending his travels, for that day, certain. A leg of mutton is not an in different article, well cooked, a matter rather diffi cult, too, to amateur cooks; and as good legs of mutton as can be found on this side of the big pond, are to be purchased almost any morning in the Pennsylvania market waggons, which congregate along Second Street, for a mile or two in a string, Peter could have secured his leg, and brought it home in an hour or two at least. But hours passed, noon came, and night followed it, and in the course of time, the morrow, the joy ous Sunday, lor which the leg o( mutton was to be bought and prepared, and offered up, a sacrifice to the household gods, and grateful appetites; but neither leg ot mutton nor Peter, husband or father Houp, darkened the doors of the carpenter's humble domicil, of course, realize half the agony, or tor. tures of suspense, that must have preyed upon that wife’s heart and brains, that must have haunted her feverish dreams at night, and her aching mind by day.' When grim death strikes a blow, when ever so near and dear a friend or relation is levelled, cold, breathless, dead— we see, we-know, there is the end! Griet has its season, the bitterness of woe then calms, subsides or ceases; but the lost! which hope prevents mourning as dead, and whose death-like'absence, almost precludes the idea that they live—engenders in the soul a gloomy, tottering, despairing sorrow, more agonizing than! the sting actual death leaves behind. I have endeavored to depict what musthave been,what were thefeelings of Peter Houp’s wife. She mourned, and grieved, " ant j still hoped on, though months and years passed away without imparting the slightest clue to the most singular and unfortunate fate of her husband. Her three children, two boys and a girl, grew up ten, eleven, and twelve years passed, and no tidings of the lost man reached his family; but they still lived with a kind of despairing hope that the hu®- band and father would yet come home. And so he did. Let us see what became of Peter Houp the car penter. As he strolled along with hisbasket under his arm, on the eventful morning he sought the leg of mutton, he jnet a platoon of men dressed up in uniform, muskets on their shoulders, colors ’flying drums besting, and a crowd of hurrahers following and shouting for the volunteers!. Yes.it was a company of volunteers, just about shipping off for the-South, to join the brave old Hickory, General Jackson I Peter Houp saw in the ranks of the volunteers several of his old chums; he spoke to them, walked along with the men of Mars, got in* spired—patriotic—drunk. Two days after that eventful Saturday on which the quiet, honest and industrious carpeuter left his wife end children full of hope and happiness, lie found, himself In blue breeches, roundabout and'black cap, on board a brig bound for New Orleans—a volunteer for the war! It was too late to repinit now; the brig was ploughing her way through the (burning billows, and in a tew weeks she uirivod at Mobile, as she could not reach New Orleans, the British under Puckenhum being ofT the Balize. So the volun teers were landed ut Mobile, -and hurried overland to the devoted (that was to be) Crescent City. I Peter Houp was not only a good man (liable as I alt men are, to make a false step once in life,) but i a brave one. Having gone so far, and made a step I so hard to retrace, Peter's cool reason got bothered I —he poured the spirits down to keep his spirits up, I as the saying goes, and abandoned himself to fate. Caring neither for life nor death, he was found be- I hind the cotton bags, which he had assisted in get ting down from the city to the battle ground, piled 1 up, and was now ready to defend while life lasted! I Peter fought well, being a man not unlike the brave old Hickory himself—tall, firm, and resolute I looking, he attracted General Jackson s attention I during the battle, and after, it, was personally com- I plimented for his skill and courage by the com- I mander-in. chief. Everybody knows the history of the battle of New Orleans —I need not detail it- I 7 After the victory, the soldiers were allowed consid erable license, and they made New Orleans a scene of revel and dissipation, as all cities are likely to I represent, when near a victorious army. Peter Houp, was on “a regular bender,'' “a big tear, a long “spree," and for one so unused to any thing of the kind, he “went it with a perfect looseness! ’ A rich citizen's house was robbed—burglariously entered and robbed; and Peter Houp, the staid' plain Philadelphia carpenter, who would not have battered his reputation lor all the ingots of the Incas while in his sober senses, was arrested as one of the burglars, and imputation, ialse or true, called him to spend seven years in the penitentiary 1 0, what an awful probation of sorrow and mental suffering, were these seven long years 1 But they passed away, and Peter Houp was once more free, not a worse man fortunately, but a much wiser one! He had not seen or heard a breath of those so long dearly cherished and cruelly deserted, his family, for eight years, and his heart yearned towards them so strongly, that penniless, pale and care-worn as he was, he would have started immediately for home, but being a good carpenter and wages high, he concluded to go 'to work while he awaited a re ply from his abandoned family to his long and pen itently written letter. Weeks, months and years passed, and no came, though another let ter was despatched, for fear of the miscarriage of the first; (and both letters did miscarry, as the wife never received them.) Peter gave himselt up as a lost man, his family dead or scattered, and nothing but death could end his entailed wretched ness. But still, as fortune would have it, he never again sought refuge from his sorrows in the poison ing chalice, the rum glass: not he. Peter toiled, saved his money, and at the end of four years found himself in possession of a very snug sum of hard cash, and faithfully established good name! But all of this time he had not heard a syllable of his home; and all of a sudden one fine day in early spring he took passage in a ship, and arrived in Philadelphia; in a few rods from the wharf upon which he landed, he met an old neigh bor. Tlie astonishment of the latter seemed won drous ; he burst out: “My God! is this Peter Houp. come from his grave !" No,*’ said Peter, in his slow, dry way, “ l m from New Orleans!’’ Peter soon learned that his wife and children yet lived in the same place, and had long mourned him as forever gone. . Peter Houp felt any thing but merry, but he determined to have his joke and a merry meeting. In an hour or two Peter Houp, the long lost wanderer, stood in his own door. - “Well, Nancy, here is thy leg of mutton!" and a fine one too he had. The most excellent woman his wife, was alone. She was of Quaker origin, sober and stoical like her husband; she regarded him wistfully as he stood in the door, for a time; at last she spoke— “ Well, Peter, thee's been gone for it a long time." The next moment found them locked in each other's arms; overtasked nature could stand no more; they cried as children. The carpenter has held offices of public trusi since, and yet lives, an old and highly respected cit izen of the city of 1; Brotherly love." Eternal Life. The most blissful and fascinating forms of life, which we here behold, are destined to end. Death is written upon the countenance of every living man. All the. splendors of wealth, the innocence of youth, the tears of friends, and the skill of phy sicians, are not sufficient to bribe the monster. But life to Christ is; invested -with the sacred rights of immortality. It depends no't upon the health of the body, or the will of the enemies. Its vital source is the infinite Saviour, who has said, “ be cause I live, ye shall live also.” It must therefore, endure when the body decays, “the stars grow dim with age,” and time itself is lost in eternity. The abiding faith which connects it with the Redeemer, secures its endless existence. And this is its crown ing glory. It is delightful to live in the service of Christ, to the glory of Christ on earth, to feel the power of his loving grace in the soul, supported j by constant union with him; to feel the warm gushings of his holy life, when all nature recedes and disappears; and it must be joyful beyond con ception, to find, that after the body is dead, this lief endures, in union with the Saviour, near the burn ing throne, amid the songs of angels, and the shouts of the redeemed. But to feel that it is endless, leaves nothing to desire, overwhelms the soul in love, in gratitude, and joy. Eternal progression in life depending for its resources upon the exhaustless nature of God.—lire. J. T. Rock. A Good Name. An individual whose name was as bad as his personal conduct, applied recently to the Maine i-egislature to have his cognomen changed. In presenting his petition, he said that he was not par ticular as to the new name which might be award ed to him, but he hoped the Legislature would give him one that would go at the Banks . “ The bill,” in the language of the record, “was laid upon the table,’* as the Legislature thought this was asking entirely top much. py must look for happiness in the world, not in the things of the world ; but within ourselves, in our tempers, and in our hearts. « THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” Buchanan.
