MY SPKRANZA
Was Sorrow ever like to our sorrow 1
Oh! God above !
Will our night never change into a morrow
Of joy and love ?
A deadly gloom is on us waking, sleeping :
Like the darkness of noontide
That tell upon the. pallid mother, weeping
By the Crucified.

embarrassment. Show her how your fortunes are

she bec.Miies my wife you are relieved from all
If the angels ever hearken, downward bending, danner. Will you do tim'"
Before us die our brothers of starvation ;
Around are cries of famine and despair !
Where is'hope for us, or comfort or salvation—
Where—oh! where/
Thcrare weeping, we are sure.
At the litanies ot* human groans ascending
pro in the crushed hearts of the poor.
When the human rests in love upon the human
AJ) grief in light;
But who bends one kind glance u> illumine
Our life-long night. 7
The air around is ringing with their laughter—
• God has only made the rich to smile;
But’we—in our rags, and and woe-
low after,
Weeping'the while.
Aud the laughter seems hut uttered to deride us :
When, oh ! when
“Will fait tho frozen harriers that divide us
From other men /
'Will ignorance forever thus enslave us.
Will-Misery forever lay us low ?
All are eager with their insults ; hut to save us
None, none, we know
We never knew a childhood’s mirth and gladness,
Nor the proud heart of vouth free and brave;
Oh, a death-like dream of wretchedness and sadness
Is life’s woary journey to the grave.
Day by day we lower sink and lower,
Till the God-like soul within
Falls crushed beneath the fearful demon power
Of poverty and sin.
So we toil on, on with fever burning
In heart and brain :
So we toil on, on through bitter scorning.
Want, woe, and pain
We dare not raise our eyes to the blue Heaven,
Or the toil must cease —
We dare not breathe the fresh air God has given
One hour in peace
We must toil though the light of life is burning,
Oh, how dim !
We must toil on our sick bed feebly turning
Our eyes to Him
Who alone can hear the pale iip faintly saying,
With scarce moved breath,
While the paler hands uplifted aid the praying,
“ Lord, grant us Death!”

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 |<M m a
deep reverie. It is doubtful whether he heard all
that the man had said.
Will you do this/" repliud Page, aud with some
impatience in his tone.
Mason aroused himself as horn a dream ami an
swered with great firmness and dignity:
" Mr. page, the struggle in my mind is over. I
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the borough
ul Marietta and vicinity, met at the Town Hall,
on the evening of the 23d inst. Mr. ANDREW
LEADER, was appointed President, and Henry
Seitz, 'Reuben Welchaus, John Ku/p, (of Mount
joy,) Isauc Reinhardt, M, Harline . s/\, John
Shields, Isaac Mason, Conrad Smith, E. Jimesuti,

Von will repent thin, sir. '" he angrily retorted, rßn » Secretaries.

Florence will favor your suit, and I will not u>e a

she must remain perfectly free. Approach her us

As il stung by a serpent, Page started from his

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.
Mr. Mason was dumb with surprise at so unex
pected a declaration. He made two oi three efforts
to speak, but his lips uttered no sound.
Confide in me sir.' said the vistor “Trust
me as you would trust your own brother, and lean
upon me if your strength be indeed lading. * Tell
me. then, is it as I have said'”

That sum you' shall have. 'To-morrow morning l
will see you. 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

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.

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 Union are down upon Van Buren. They say
all they used to say about him, except that about

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.

more envious thanjhe it to any cause
that best Bints their purposes, no matter how unjust,
or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there
is unofher class more easily satisfied, and content
themselves by saying—“ Well, it is all luck—better
to be born lucky than rich. Born under a lucky
planet.” fizc, Ci Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck,
all the luck I know of is in proper mahagement.”
Precisely so, Dr., and just the operating in
the extensive business done at the great LANCAS
