MANY’S BEAUTY
Where can It he, dear mother,
Th.v .Many’s beauty lies!
More silkeH are my tressris,-
And brighter are my eyes.
Yet children throng around her,
And strangers prniso her grace;
There’s not a creature in the village
But loves her bonny face.
1 know when day is breaking
She seeks the forest stream,
And ever, on returning,
More beautiful doth seem.
Perchance its shaded waters
Some ancient charm retain
And those whoibathe at sunrise,
Its virtue can obtain.
I’ll hie me there to-morrow.
To try the waters too ;
And wait until she cometh,
And sec what she will do.
Young Ella reached the forest
While yet the stars were bright*;
Hut scarcely had she hidden,
When Mary came in sight.
She lightly crossed the streamlet,
And paused upon a spot
Where rocks and twining branches
Had formed a quiet grot.
Unconscious of observers,
She knelt ; in meekness there ;
And, looking up to heaven,
Breathed forth a fervent prayer.
Then rising up in gladness,
She warbled forth a hymn,
And-homeward bent her footsteps.
While yet the light was dim
Forth came the softened Ella,
Nor tried the streamlet’s art;
She thought not of her features,
But of her erring heart.

THE TESSIN.
A TALE OP DOMESTIC LIFK
Three young ladies were seated in a richly fur
nished apartment. They were the Misses Amanda
and Emma Ellis, and their cousin Deliah Carleton.
The latter was engaged in the womanly occupation
of sewing; two former in discussing, critically,
a ball at which all three had been present the pre-
ceding evening.
“I don't like that -Mr. Barton, at all," said Miss
Amanda, continuing the conversation.
“Nor I either,’’ responded Miss Emma, who was
the eldest.
“And why not, cousin f asked Deliah, “ I am
sure he is handsome enough, is he not r
“Yes, but—” i
“ But what, coz ?" said she tb Emma, who had !
spoken last. “ Surely, his manners are pleasing I
and language polished—-without affectation."
. “ Yes, yes, but for all that he is vulgar. " said
Emma, pettishly, “vulgar in his ideas."
“Vulgar!*' exclaimed Deliah, “you must again
allow me to differ with you, coz," she continued,
looking into her cousin's face with a smile, “ I think
he is quite refined—more so than Mr. Price or Mr.-
Brown, and many other gentlemen.' 5
“Only think of comparing Mr. Barton with Mr.
Price or Mr. Brown—to gentlemen!" exclaimed
Miss Amanda Ellis. “Why, Mr. Barton is a me-
“ Well, suppose he is. dear,'' said her cousin,
“does that make him vulgar, or less respectable?
For my part, I think a mechanic can be as much
a gentleman (in the true sense of the word) as a
lailionaire.”
“Well, I declare, cousin Lile, you do have some
of the funniest notions ;*’ said Miss Amanda, “just
for aft the world like pa; he thinks one man just
us good as another, even though he be a laborer.*’
“ Yes.” said Emma, “ I do wish he would be a
little more circumspect, and find better company
for his daughters than mechanics. It is his fault
that Mr. Barton comes here; he gives him such
pressing invitations. I suppose he.wants me, or you,
Amanda. * Would'nt it make a fine paragraph for
the papers'?—Miss Amanda. Cor Emma,) daughter
of James Ellis, merchant, to Mr. Charles Barton,
mechanic. Oh, dear !’* said the spoiled beauty
(for both sisters possessed great personaLattrac
tions) threw herself back upon the sofa and laugh
ed heartily, as also did her sister.
“Well, well, girls,” said Mr. Ellis, who, hidden
by the half open door of the apartment, had been
an unobserved listener to the conversation, and who
now entered the room, “you may laugh now, but
you may live to regret that you did not try to ob
tain Mr. Barton for a husband; mark that.” And
the old gentleman, taking hat, left the apartment.
“Who would have thought that pa was listening !*’
said Miss Amanda, “but I don't care.*’
“I declarej' if there is not Mr. Barton on the:
steps!” exclaimed Emma, who was looking through
the blinds. “Come, come,” she continued, address
ing her sisterj “ let us go up stairs to the other par
lor, and leave cousin Lile to entertain him: it will
be a pleasure to her, for she is partial to mechanics,*
and the sisters left the room.
The object of the foregoing conversation was a
young man whom Mr. Ellis had introduced to his
daughters, and niece, some months before, as a
master mechanic. But unlike their father, who
valued a man for his character and not for his
money, the Misses Ellis were great sticklers for
respectability—their standard for which was riches
—and the consequence was, as .we have seen, that
Mr. Barton did not stand any too high in their good
grace?. Mr. Ellis knew that a false estimate ol
respectability was. a. predominant fault in His daugh
ters’-characters, and be determined to give them a
practical-and salutary lesson. How he succeeded
the sequel of our story will show.
A few moments after the sisters had left the
room Mr. Barton entered. He was about the mid*
die height, with a tine figure, regular features, and
intelligent countenance.. His eyes were of deep
blue—his eye-brows finely arched, and his forehead
high and white, from which the jet black hair
was pushed back, displaying its fine p-oportions.
He was certainly a handsome man, which fact even
the Misses Ellis did not attempt to deny, and th e
ease and politeness with which he greeted Miss
Carleton, spoke his claim to that which that lady
herself hud awarded him—the title of gen!lonian.
He was sooii sealed, and in conversation vvitli
Deiiah. Deliah Carletou was a charming girl. It
is true that she did not exhibit the exquisite pro
portions and the regiflar features of her two cou
sins; but there was ever a sunny smile upon her
lace, and cheerful sparkle in her clear, light blue
eye. and she had such light and bounding spirits,
dial made her appear, if not as beautiful ns her
cousins, at least more bewitching: at leas!, so
thought Mr. liui lon, as he gazed upon her laugh
ing countenance. How much better, thought he,
would it he to possess her as a wife, dependent as
she; is upon her uncle, und do\verless us she would
he, then either of the Misses Kllis with their spoiled
tempers and their fortunes. Thinking thus, is it
to be wondered at that be lelt her with a half
formed determination to wiif her love, if it lay
within his power.
When Deliah appeared at the dinner table that
day, many were the meaning and inquisitive glances
her cousins cast upon her. ,At last, unable to re
strain their loved habit of ‘ru%ping ! their
spbke.
1 hope yoti spent a very pleasant morning
said .Miss Amanda, with a mock, arch
• : A very interesting,tete-a-tete, was it not f" whis*
pered Emma across the table.
1 spent Vne morning very pleasantly," answered
Deliah, blushingly slightly.
-Oh! 1 dare say," said Emma sarcastically. “I
suppose he gave you a dissertation on mechanics,
did he not, coz i"
‘•Well, and suppose he did'" said Mr.Ellis,who
had been listening patiently, but into whose honest
i'ace the color now rose. ‘-Is it not better to listen
to that than to the senseless conversation of the
foplings. hall men, half monkeys, who disgrace hu
manity? r and the old man cast such a look upon
his daughters as made them quail beneath it.
-But never mind Lile," he continued in a softer
voire, anti patting his niece's rosy cheek, “ never
mind, Mr. Barton is ivorth three or four such would-
be-gentlemen as Mr. Price and Mr. Brown, in more
ways than one. Mark that, girls! Heis worth two
or three such in more ways than one.'' The last sen
tence he addressed to his daughters.
Days, weeks and months rolled by, and Mr.
Barton had become a frequent visitor at Mr. Ellis's.
It was very evident that he was paying ‘ particular
attentions to Deliah Carleton, and it was also plain •
to see that they were not unacceptable. This fact
furnished an ample subject for the sisters' sarcastic
remarks. As for their father, whenever they in
dulged in' them in his presence a knowing smile
would piay upon ms iaee. auu ne vvouia repeal iu
them his assertion, that they would some day wish
they had obtained Mr. Barton for a husband.
Thus things continued for some time. At length
one morning about three months subsequent to the
period when our story commences. Mr. Ellis enter
ed the parlor where his daughters were sitting, with
a light step and sparkling eye.
“ Well, girls, what do you think ol it v ' said he,
rubbing his hands in glee.
•What 7 '' asked both the young ladies in a
“ The-wedding we re going to have.
•‘The wedding! what wedding?"
“Your cousin's
Deliah‘s V
“Yes. She is going to honor the media/ii> with
her hand. What do you think of it, ha ?"
“I don't think murk of it," said Miss Emma, wPh
a toss of her head."
“Nor 1," said Amanda.
“ You don't eh ! Well, suppose I was to tell you
she is going to marry a man worth two hundred
thousand dollars, would that alter your opinions 7 "
“ Why. what do you mean, pa 7 "
“listen and I will lell you, girls," said ihe old
gentlemen, bending upon hisdaughters a grave and
somewhat stern look. “The lather of Mr. Barton
to whom your cousin is soon to be married, was an
old friend of mine; we were playmates in boyhood.
He was apprenticed to the carpenter's trade about
the same time that I entered the counting house.
Soon after he had finished learning his trade he
went to the city of Baltimore, and there started
business lor himself, and where he married. Being
possessed of genius and having a good education!
Irom a master mechanic and-builder he soon became
an architect; and so subsequently amassed a large
fortune. Knowing tbe reverses of fortune to which
all arc liable, lie resolved to make his only son a
good architect, so that il ever the ‘fickle dame
should desert him, he would have wherewith to earn
honestly his daily bread. .He succeeded. A year
or two ago lie died, leaving his son his "whole for
tune —his wife being already dead, and Charles
being only an child. About six months ago Charles
came to this city on a visit. He called upon me
as his father's friend. In the course of conversation
I asked him why he was not married. He said
that he never yet met with a young lady that he
thought worthy of calling his wife, that he could
find enough who would marry him for the sake of
his money, but that such a one he would never
marry. 1 told him that I would introduce him {o
some of our city ladies, and see if he could not iind
one among them to suit him. He_required then
that I should conceal his wealth, and introduce him
only as a master mechanic, I acquiesced, and know
ing your false estimate of respectability, I embraced
the opportunity of teaching you a salutary influence.
I knew when I brought him home with me, and
introduced him, that neither of you would be his
chosen, because I was certain that you could not
stoop so low as to marry a master mechanic, but the
event which will soon take place, I easily foresaw-
Your cousin knew nothing of his wealth until to
day. I see you look surprised, girls, but did I not tell
you that you would be sorry some day you did not
obtain him for a husband? And did I not tell you
he was worth two or three such ninny-hammers as
Mr. Price and Brown, in more ways than one?
Remember, girls, that wealth is a false standard by
which to judge of respectability and worth. Not
that a rich man may not be respectable , but that
very often he who earns his daily bread by the
sweat of his brow, is more of a gentleman than he
who counts his thousands.”
And they did remember it. For in after years
they showed in their choice of husbands that they
had not forgotten their honest old father's lesson.

tious of reporting it.

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. Us 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
highest efforts of the Painter and Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci
ety has adopted the following
PLAN:
1. Each subscriber of Fivp Dollars becomes a
member ot the Art-Union for one year.
The ijp.fipv thug obtained is unnlied. first, to the
original American Picture, of which every member
receives a copv ; ami next, to the purchase of Pic
tures, Drawing?, 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
the amount of his subscription) and the chance of
obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED
BY HIMSELF from any public exhibition in the
United States.
For further particular* call at the Painting Room
of the undersigned, where can be 6een a specimen
of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re
ceived for the same. A. ARMSTRONG.

Notice to Distillers,
AND ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
TT/HEREAS, I, Jacob Weitzel, of the city of
Y\ Lancaster, coppersmith, have received by let
ters Patent, recorded in the Patent office in the city
of Washington, certain useful improvements in the
construction of Stills, which improvements consist
of an additional tub, called a dc; . ling tub, which
is placed partly above the still r 'r which tub the
doubler it inclosed, the beer which is pumped into
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 1 still, 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
described doubling tub and the plug by which the
beer passes from one tub to the other, or from the
tub into the still.
Having received information,amounting to proof,
that my patent for the above described improve
ments has been violated by several distillers-in this
county and in various other places, I hereby give
notice, that unless those persons who have made
use of mv invention* or have it now in use, without
being authorized by me, come forward Mid make
full reparation for having infringed my patent right,
on or before the first day of March next, suit will
be instituted against all and every such person or
persons. JACOB WEITZEL.

Dr. Frtinkiiu’s Opinion ol Luck.
rpHE astonishing success of JOS. GORMELY,
X in the CLOTHING BUSINESS, excites the
surprise of some and the envy* and jealousy of
others His unparalleled success some attribute
to one cause, and some to another. And some,
more envious than the rest, attribute it to any cause
that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust,
or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there
is another class more easily satisfied, and content
themselves bv saying—■“ Well, it is all luck —better
to be born lucky than rich. Born under a lucky
planet,'’ &.c, si Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck,
all the luck 1 know of is in proper management.”
Precisely so, Dr., and just the operating cause in
the extensive business dono at the great LANCAS
TER HALL OF FASHIONS. The only secret in
tills large business, and the only reason that it of
larce, is because he is careful in the selection is
good materials, and has all his goods well made —
and then the fit of his garments cannot be surpassed;
and are sold at prices that defy competition. This
; is the cause of hi.-: astonishing success at the great
LANCASTER HALL OF FASHIONS, N. Queen
St . Lancaster; next to J. Gish & Co.’s Book Store
and the National House. [May 9,’48.-tf-15.
