BREAD I'POW THE WATER A lad was toiling up a hill, near the city, under the weight of a heavy basket, on the afternoon of a sultry day in August. He had been sent home with some goods to a customer who lived a shott distance in the country. The boy was lightly built, und his burden seemed almost beyond Many times he sat down to rest himselyon his way up the hill. But it seemed as if he would reach the summit. Each time he lifted the basket it felt heavier than before. \ The boy was abotU half way up the Nhill with his basket, when a gentleman overtook anil passed him. He had not gone on many paces, when he stopped and turning round to the lad, iuukedAit linn for a moment or two, and then said kindly/- ,k That's a heavy load you have. Ciyiie let me help you.' And the gentleman took the basket, and carried it to the top of the hill. “ There. Do you think you can get along now said he with a smile, as he sat the basket down, oi ( shall I carry it a little further/” “Oh no, thank you. sir,” returned the boy. with a glow' of' gratitude on his fine young face. " I can carry it now very well ; and I am very much obliged to yon. ‘ “ You are right welcome, my little man," said ilie gentleman, and passed on. Twenty years from that time, a careworn man. 'well advanced in life, sat motionless in an old arm - chair, with his eyes fixed intently upon the glowing grate. He was alone and appeared to be in a state of great abstraction. In a little while, however, the door of the room opened, and the light form of a'young and lovely girl glided in. “ Papa,” said a low, sweet voice, and a hand was very gently laid on the old man's arm. “Is it you, dear? " he returned with a sigh. “ Yes, papa," and the young girl leaned against him, and parted with her delicate lingers the thin, grey locks that lay in disorder about his forehead. “I would like to be alone this evening. Florence." said the old man. “1 have a good deal to think about, and expect a person on business. ' And he kissed her tenderly; yet sighed as he pressed his lips to hers. The girl passed/rom the room as noiselessly us she had entered. The old man had been cairn be fore her coming in, but the moment she retired, he became agitated and aroused, and walked the fijor uneasily. He continued to pace to and fro, for nearly half an hour, when he stopped suddenly, and listened. The street door bell had rung. In a lit tle while a m*n entered the room. “ Mr. Mason,"-he said, with a slightly percepti- ble embarrassment. “Mr. Page, returned the old man with a feeble, quickly fading smile. “ Good morning," and he offered his hand. The visitor grasped the old man s hand andshook it warmly. But there was no pressure in return. “Sit down, Mr. Page.” The man took a chair, and Mr. Mason sat down near him. “ You promised an answer to my proposal to ni A” said the former., after a pause. i “I did," returned the old man; but lam as little prepared to igive it as I was yesterday. In fact. I have not found an opportunity to say anything to Florence on the subject” The countenance of the visitor fell, and something like a frown darkened upon his brow. There was an embarassing silence of some min utes. After which the man called said “Mr. Mason, I have made an honorable propo sal for your daughter's hand. For weeks you have evaded, and do .still evade an answer. This seems so much like trifling, that I begin to feel as if just j cause for offence existed.” •None is intended, I do assure you." replied Mi. Mason, with something deprecating in his tone. • But you must remember, Mr. Page, that you never sought to win the young girls affection, and that, as a consequence the offer of marriage which you wish to make her. will be received with surprise, and it may be disapproval. 1 wish to approach her on this subject, with proper discretion. To be too precipitate, may startle her into instant repug nance against your wishes." She loves you. docs she not inquired Page with a marked su>iiiliranee of .manner. • A child never loved a parent mote tenderly replied Mr. Mason. The old man did-not reply. He was |e a single argument to influence her. In that matter she must remain perfectly free. Approach her us a man, and win her il yon have the power to doso. It is your only hope.' As il stung by a serpent, Page started from his •• and repent it bitterly. I came to you with hon orable pioposals lor your daughter's hand, you lis tened to.them, gave me encouragement, and prom ised me an answer to night Now yon meet me with insult!—Sir! You will repent this! Mr. Ma«ou ventured no reply, but merely bowed in token ol his willingness to meet and bear all consequences that might come. For a long time after this angry visitor had re tired. did Mr. Mason cross the floor with measured step. At last he rang the bell, and directed the servant who came, to say to Florence he wished to see her. "When Florence came, she was surprised to see that her father was strongly agitated. •• >it down dear,’’ he said in a trembling voice. .•I have somethiug to say to you that must be no longer concealed." Florence looked wondering!)' into her lather's face, while her heart began to sink. Just then a servant opened the door and ushered in a stranger. He Was a tall fine looking young man. just in the prime ot life. Florence quickly retired, but not before the stranger fixed his eyes upon her face, and marked its sweet expression. "Pardon the"' intrusion, sir,” he said, as soon as the young girl had left the room, “bat facts that { have learned this evening have prompted me to call upon you without a moment's delay. My name is Gieer. of the hrm ot Greer. Miller & Co. Mr Mason bowed, and said— •• I know your house very well, and now'rc-mem ber to have met you more than once in-business transactions • es, you have bought one or two bills of us. replied the visitor. Then after a moment's pause he said in a changed tone— "Mr Mason. I learned to-night, from a source which leaves no room to doubt the truth ot the statement, that yum affairs have become seriously embarrass! That you aie. in lact, on the very verge of bankruptcy “Tell me frankly, whether this is indeed so: I ask from no idle curiosity, nor from a concealed and sinister motive, but to the end that I may pre vent the threatened disaster, if it is in my power to do so.

Good evening And the visilor arose and was gone belore his bewildered auditor had sufficiently iecovered his senses to know what to think or say. In the morning, true to his promise, Mr. Greer called upon Mr. Mason, and tendered him a check of ten thousand dollars, with his note of hand for thirty days for ten thousand more, which was al most the same as money. While the check and note lay before him upon the desk, and ere he had touched them, Mr. Mason looked earnestly at the man who had suddenly taken the character of a disinterested, self sacrifi cing friend, and said— “My dear sir, I cannot understand this. Arc you not laboring under some error u Oli no. You once did me a service that lam now only seeking to repay. It is my first oppor tunity, and 1 embrace it eagerly.'* “ Did you a service ! When f “Twenty years ago.” replied the man. “ 1 was a poor boy. and you were a man of wealth. One hot day I was sent a long distance with a heavy basket. While toiling up a hill, with the hot sun upon me, and almost overcome ..with heat and fatigue, you came along, and not only spoke to m e kindly, but took my basket and carried it to the top of the hill. Ah, sir, you did not know how deeply that act of kindness sunk into my heart, and I longed for the opportunity to show you by some act of kindness how grateful I felt. But none came. Often afterward I met you on the street, and looked into your face with pleasure. But you did not remember me. Ever since I have regarded you with different feelings from those I have enter tained for others; and there has been no time that I would not have put myself out to serve yon.— Last night I heard of your embarrassments, and immediately called upon you. The rest you know.” Mr. Mason was astonished at so strange a decla ration. “Do you remember the fact to which I refer? 5 asked Greer. “ It had faded from my external memory en tirely ; but your words have brought back a dim recollection of the fact. But it was a little matter, and not entitled to the importance you have given it ,: “To me it was not a little matter, sir,” returned Mr. Greer. “ I was a weak boy, just sinking under “THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” — Buchanan. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3, 1848. a burthen that'was too heavy, when you put forth your hand and'carried it for me. I could not forget it. And now let me return at the first opportunity, the favor, by carrying your burden for you, which has become too heavy, until the hill is ascended, and you are able to bear it onward again in your own strength. Mr. Mason, was deeply moved. Words failed him in his efforts to express his true feelings. The bread cast upon the water had returned to liijn alter many days and he gathered it with words and thankfulness. Tli> merchant was saved from ruin. Xm was this all. The glimpse which Mr. Greer had recei ved of the lovely daughter of Mr. Mason, revealed a charactei of beauty that impressed him deeply. iid he embraced the first opportunity to make her acquaintance. A year afterwards he led her to the altar. A kind net is never lost, even though done to a Democratic Itlficllug in Die Boi'OugJi of On motion, the chair appointed the following j committee to report resolutions expressive of the , sentiments of the meeting. J. J. Lihhart, Charles j Kelly, F. K. Curran, James Thompson, William I Nixon, Dr. John Huston, Major J. Gilman, (of! Maytown,) Samuel Hopkins and Allen Ruby. ! The following gentlemen were appointed to es- j cort Col. R. Frazer to the meeting: G. W. Worm lv, C. Brady and L. Martin. After the following resolutions were read and unanimously adopted, the meeting was addressed by him for some hours i in his usual eloquent manner, which was respond-! ed to by the hearty cheers of the democracy pre- i sent: Resolved, That we continue to entertain the, highest regard for the present distinguished Chief j Magistrate of the Republic; that the great mea-j sures of his administration have been triumphant- ! Iv sustained by the People, and have redounded j to the glory and interest of the Nation, and to i sustain and perpetuate the principles on which he ■ has administered the government should be the ! end and aim of every true Republican. j Resolved, That we approve of the nominations ' made by the Baltimore and Harrisbuag Conven- ] tions : that we will energetically unite with our democratic bretheren, throughout the State and Union, to sustain the principles there laid down, and to ensure the election of the Nominees that in Gen. Lewis Cass of Michigan, the candidate for the Presidency we recognize, the eminent Scholar, Statesman and Soldier, the long tried [ public servant and Republican, who after a large portion of his life has been spent in the pub- i lie service, both in field and the councils, in the . performance of which he never swerved from duty ■ and the support of democratic measures and prin ciples, is now offered to the people as a candidate \ ! for the highest office in the Repulic, with an abid- 1 I ikg assurance, that the destinies and the priceless ' institutions of the Nation will be safe in his keep-; ing: that in Gen. William O. Butler, of Ken- ' tuckv, the candidate lor the Vice Presidency, we j have the devoted and chivalrous soldier, a scion of j the Revolutionary stock, dauntless in the field and j wise in council, who bears upon his person evi-: dence of fierce encounter with the toes of his country ; one whom his immediate neighbors have often delegated as their Representative in Congress, 1 where he displayed the same zealous patriotism and devoted attachment to democratic principles which characterized him in every' position that the : interests of his country placed him ; always the 1 advocate of measures to preserve and extend the ' principles of Freedom ; the defender of the im- i mortal and venerated Jackson when assailed bv i the malign and envenomed shafts of FeJeral Ca lumny : -That in Morris Loxgsttieth, of Mom-j goinery county, the candidate for Governor; we 1 have the Farmer Statesman, experienced and en- ! lightened, whose moral worth is irreproachable and j whose eminent fitness for the Chief Magistracy of | the State is undeniable ; peculiarly worthy to full the j place left vacant in the Councils'of the State, .and [ in the hearts and confidence of her citizens tff'the : death of the revered Siiunk : that wc confide in his honesty and ability to render himself the wor thy one upon,'wljom the mantle of that great and beloved man should fall; to complete the work of reform so successfully commenced by purging the boilv politic of the unprincipled corporations which ■ have so long glutted upon the earnings of the peo-1 pic and depressed the prosperity of the state. Tho J completion of which will be another triumph of the conservative power of Democracy over Fede ral profligacy ; a victory of a virtuous people over concentrated wealth ; mercenary talent and legal ised corruption: that in Israel Painter of Westmoreland county, the candidate for Canal Commissioner, we recognize the practice, and ex perienced man, devoted to Democratic principles and the best interests of the Commonwealth. Resolved, That the principle is settled, that no legislative body can grent a charter or a privilege which no subsequent legislature may not abrogate or amend, otherwise there would soon be a time when there would be no rights to sell. The repeal or withholding of a charter does not destroy the invested property, but only prevents its further use in that way. Resolved, That we are in favor of a tariff that affords equal protection to all; to the Manufactur er, the Farmer, the Mechanic and the Laborer; that to such a tariff none have a right to ob ject; that the maxim of a Republican government should be protection for-all and no special favors for anv. Resolved, That the constitution secures to the States in which slavery exists, the peaceable pos session and right of control over their slavc-s, with which we of the free states have no right to meddle. Therefore in our opinion those high handed mea sures of the abolitionists and political fanatics which produce so much excitement and alarm in the South, and that officious interference with their domestic institutions, which gives such offence are at war with the principles of the constitution and of the Democratic party, and no democrat can con sequently advocate or approve of their course. Resolved , That we pity and lament the fraility of Martin Van BuTen, and however much his new friends may love his treason, in their sober second thought they “will dispise the traitor. “A man that can deliberately pursue a course pointing to the dissolution of this glorious Union, should be execrated, his name should stand a loathsome monument upon the page of history ; consanguin ity with him should be disavowed by his offspring with burning blushes of shame, and his death cel ebrated as a festival in the Republic. Resolved , That we will use our best efforts to en sure the election of Cass, Butler, Longstreth, Painter and the whole Democratic ticket. Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the democratic papers of the county, Resolved > That the chair appoint a committee of vigilance of fifty. On motion, The thanks of the Democracy were tendered to Col. FrazeT for his eloquent address and disinterested labors in the cause. After which - the meeting adjourned with cheers for the demo cratic candidates. [Signed by the officers.] The whig papers in nearly every portion of the Union are down upon Van Buren. They say all they used to say about him, except that about the bloodhounds. Political. IMarict tii.

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of extending a love for the fine arts throughout the United States, and to give encouragement to Ar tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi viduals. Its promoters believe that these arts, can never attain their due rank in this country (already so far advanced in many of the other elements of civilization) until adequate encouragement be given to the highest efforts of the Painter and Sculptor. Forjho accomplishment of this object, the Soci ety has adopted the following PLAN : 1. Each subscriber of Five Dollars becomes a member ot the Art-Union for one year. The rm.nrv thus obtained is applied, first, to the procuring of a large and costly Engraving, from an original American Picture, of which every member rcceivc-s a copy ; and next, to the purchase of Pic tures, Drawings, or other works of Art, with the funds distributed by lot among the members for that purpose. Thus, for the sum of Five Dollars, every member is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone the amount of his subscription) and the chance of obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED BY?HIMSELF from anv public exhibition in the United States. For further particulars call at the Painting Room of the undersigned, where can be seen a specimen of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re ceived for the same. A. ARMSTRONG. August 1. 28-u*.
