“ Lye is a wildering dream” —existence
Phantomed imagery, and death —yes, ’tis a
Sleep; unconscious, wakeless slumber. Perchance
The spirit flown oft hovers round its
Mouldering clay, so silent, stark and cold,
And, to its pulseless form imparts—not life—
A dreamy consciousness of strange realities:
For, strange indeed to spirit angel pure,
Must human actions be.
Long, long I watched
His wasting form, and mark’d each day the
Furrow deepening on his brow —his visage
Pale, oft brightened by the crimson flush-like
Night shade stealing soltly o’er the earth; —his
Eye, more lustrous still, as gliding time mark’d
The sure progress of a slow decay—then
Turn’d and wept, that he, alas ! too soon must die.
Now fast he Lded, as the silent hours
Flew by; the hectic blossom’d on his cheek
As op’ning primrose blushes to the breath i
Of morn, then paled still whiter than the i
Vestal snow. As closer twines the ivy $"
To the latticed hall, so the deep, blue v
Cordage ol his hands its tissues wove, till
Pulse-tlirob ceased its beat, and prisoned life came
Forth, hence, habitant of visionless spheres.
As Nature tunes her orison of praise,
And raptured songsters swell the symphonies ;
So sing the sky-lit train that U’ear him home,
“My father —spirit father home !”
As gleams the frost pearl in the orient sun,
As star-gems twinkle in the-distant sky ;
So beam the vision’d eyes that light him home,
“ My father —spirit father home !”
As gently waves the eagle’s pinion high,
As soars the bird of morn to op’ning day ;
So wave the seraph wings that waft him home,
“ My father—spirit father home!”
As wailing sea-dirge nightly moans its lay,
( And murmuring billow sings to sister wave ;
So mournfully chaunt the wild winds o’er his tomb,
My father —spirit father’s tomb!
As mourn 9 the night-bird for her absent mate,
As sighs the mourner-train round lov’d one’s tomb;
So father spirit lingering, moans me home,
My spirit—sorrowing spirit home !

THE ORPHAN’S CRIME.
BY 11. O. CHIPiMAN.
It was a cold stormy night in December. The
•wind came in fierce gusts from the north-west,
and flakes of snow fell thick and fast into the Jro
zen streets of New York City. Few people were
abroad, and those who did venture out, hurried
with a shudder along the almost deserted marts
and drew their cloaks closer around them.
In the third story of a wretched frame tenement
on one ot the darkest alleys in the city, were two
persons, a girl and a boy. They were lying upon
an old and worn out mattrass in one corner of the
room, and endeavoring to shield themselves from
the cold wind which came driving in through the
broken window panes, by shrinking beneath the
tattered edges of a time-eaten quilt. Not a spark
of fire was to be seen in the room, and the only
light came from the long dim wick of a miserable
tallow candle stuck upon the crazy mantel-piece,
and flickering in the strong current of air which
swept through the apartment. The blackened
chimney-place was dark and gloomy, and the
bricks were cold as the boulders in the street.
The two children were orphans. One week be
fore, their mother had passed off the stage of exist
ence, and had been buried by the aid of the town
ship. The day after the earth had closed over her,
lifeless form, the landlord came, seized what little I
.of furniture there was remaining, save the old quilt i
and mattrass, which even he did not seem to think i
worth taking, and gave the two lone orphans no-;
tice that he should rent the apartment to some one |
else the first opportunity. I
The girl was the elder of the two, and was evi |
dently unwell. A severe cold had been the result!
of her abode in the open room, and a hacking cough !
had seized upon her. The evening on which we j
have introduced them to the reader, severe pains
were shooting through her head, her eyes were red
and swollen, and everything indicated the approach
of a fever. In spite of every attempt she made to
resist it, a groan would occasionally break from
her parched lips, telling of her deep sufferings.
“Sister, you are worse tonight than ever,” ex
claimed her brother, as one of these groans escaped
her. unwilling lips; “let me go for a doctor.”
“No, brother, I shall be better by morning. If
we only had some fire and could warm this room
a little, I know it would help me.”
“But we have no wood,” said the brother slowly.
“I know it. Ido not expect to have any fire; I
only said if we could have some,” and the poor
girl buried her-face in the quilt, and hot, scalding
tears gushed freely down her cheeks.
Slowly the brother threw'the tattered covering
offihim, and sprung with a single bound to his feet.
He was not over thirteen years of age, yet he
might have been taken for one older, as with a
flushed cheek and flashing eye he took up his rag
ged cap from where it was laying in a corner ol
the room, and started towards the door.
“Walter, where are you going 1” exclaimed his
sister eagerly, as she noticed these preparations.
“ Ellen, the world owes us a living, and I am not
going to starve and freeze any longer here. lam
going to beg some food and wood,” and ere the girl
could reply, he had glided from the spot.
The wind seemed to whistle shriller, and the
hard snow flakes beat stronger roof as
the ladj dressed in a worn out suit of summer clo
thing, descended tbe rickety steps which led to the
He shuddered as the shrill breeze cut
through his wardrobe like a knife, and drawing his
cap closer down over his ears, walked out the alley,
and emerged into the wide street. With hasty
steps he traversed three or four squares, and sud
denly came to where a large'foad of wood had been
left laying, upon the sidewalk. He stopped and
gazed about him. ; A light shone through the win
dow of the elegant house in front of which the wood
lay, and with a faltering step, the boy ascended the
marble steps and rang the bell. A moment passed,
then steps were heard approaching the door, it
opened, and the owner of the mansion stood before
him, who shivered and drew back as the freezing
air touched his face.
“What do you want?” he asked, in a peevish
tone, as he beheld the form of the ragged orphan
boy shaking with cold on the steps.
“My sister is sick at home and freezing. I came
to ask of you a stick or two of that wood to keep
her warm. Our mother is dead, and we are or
phans.”
A look of deep scorn settled around the face of,
the rich man, as he angrily answered, “Begone, I'
have as much use for my wood as I want, without
giving it away to beggars.”
“But, Oh, sir, Ellen is freezing.” The door closed
with a heavy alaip in his face: the orphan stood
alone upon the wealthy man’s marble steps, the
cold night wind'still sweeping around his shivering
form, andjhe driving snow still falling faster and
denser iis6 the street.
For an instant he stood, like one bereft of every
hope, then raising his eyes towards Heaven, be
muttered, “God forgive me for the deed,” and de
scer.ded the steps.
Once more he stood upon the sidewalk beside the
wood, and gazed long and eagerly around him.—
Not a living soul was to be seen, and bending down
he grasped a stick in his hands, and raising it to
his shoulders, again muttered, “Ellen must freeze or
I must steal” and ran hastily from the spor.
Scarce had his form disappeared in the distance,
before the window of the mansion was raised.'and
the head of the owner was protruded through it,
shouting in a loud tone, “Watch, watch, watch.”
A moment or two sufficed to bring a hardy guar
dian of the night to the spot.
“A boy has just stole some of my wood, and
carried it off'’
“Which way did he go, sir?" a
“He ran down the street. Can’t you see his
tracks in the snow.”
‘■ I see tracks going from this pile, sir.”
“They .are his; follow them; arrest the thief, and
111 appear against him in the morning.”
The window fell, hiding the rich man from view’
and the watchman followed the footsteps from the
spot.
With a hasty step Walter traversed the distance'
between him and home, and ascending the ricketv
stairs, wrenched off a piece of board as he went up,
and entered the room. His sister still shivered be
neath the quilt,' and going to work, the brother
soon had a fine fire blazing in the room. This.done.
his sister arose from the bed,'* tottered to it, and the
lonely orphans, side by side, sat hovering before k.
They had not been seated thus ten minutes, before
rap, rap, rap, came a knock upon the door. Wal
ter shuddered and turned pale, but rising to his feet,
he went and admitted the stranger, the watchman.
For a moment the guardian of the night stood
looking around him upon that apartment of squalid
poverty, and then rested his glance upon the form
of the wretched sister. Then slowly advancing to
the boy who had resumed his station by the fire, he
laid his heavy hand upon his shoulder, and sternly
exclaimed
“ You are'my prisoner.”
With a wild cry, Ellen sprung from her seat, and
clasped her brother in her arms.
r ‘‘Oh, sir. you must be in fun,” she exclaimed,
; while the tears gushed freely from her eyes, which
: were fixed despairingly upon the watchmans face,
“what has Walter done? - ’
“ He stole the wood with which that fire is made,
and I have followed him from the pile by his tracks
in the snow.”
“Walter, why it is not so. Tell him he is mista
ken, ’ and she twined her arms still closer around
her only brother s form.
“Ellen, he has spoken the truth; I did steal that
stick of wood, but not until I had asked /or it, and
was spurned from the rich man’s door. I had to
become a thief or freeze.”
“Oh God, that it should come to this,” murmured
Ellen, as her head tell upon her brother's bosom.
“ Where are your parents?” asked the watchman,
in a taltering voice.
“ They are both dead, sir. We have had nothing
to eat lor two days, and it became too cold to live
without a fire. I am willing to go to the watch
house, sir, but what will become of Ellen? She is
sick now and will die if left alone.”
The watchman had not been in office long, and
was not therelore a brutal man. His heart bled
for the two « rphans, and he said—
“ You need not go to the watch-house, nor shall
your sister be left alone. Come home with me to
night, both of you, and I will get you something to
eat. In the morning I will take you before the
Mavor.”
“God in Heaven bless you; you are the only
kind man we have seen since our poor mother
died.”
The morning came, and ten o’clock saw Walter
arrayed at the box in the Mayor’s office, to answer
the crime of theft. The orphan boy was pale, and
still dressed in his thin, ragged apparel, and looked
more like an object to be pitied than one to be con
demned. At a little distance from him stood his
accuser, the lord of the mansion lrom whom he
had taken the stick of wood, dressed in “purple and
fine linen,” and looking sleek and fat upon his
hoarded gains.
He testified to the facts aVeady known to the
reader, save the bov.’s piteous appeal in regard to
his sick sister; this was lelt out. When he was
done, the watchman also gave in his evidence, but
ere he was through, in/ormed the Mayor ofhis visit
to the wretched - room, and of what he there saw
and heard.
Ihe Mayor pitied the helpless orphans, but the
majesty ot the law had been trampled upon, and
as the progfwas positive, he sentenced the boy to
three months in the house of correction! And for
what? For taking a single stick of wood £om
a man worth thousands, who had refused to give
the boy a stick, to keep himself and sister Jrotn
freezing. This, and this only, was the Orphan s
Crime.
Tlie Wife of Gen. Jackson,
The influence of this woman over her husband
is said to have been very extraordinary.» She was
of obscure origin and totally uneducated. Yet she
inherited from nature those fine and noble traits of
her sex to such perfection, that her power and fas
cinations were very great. Gen. Jackson was at
tached to her in early life, but by some means or
other the matter was interrupted and she married
another, who proved a villain and the connection
most unhappy. Gen. Jackson became again inter
ested in her; the consequence was a divorce, when
he was married to her. She is said to haye poss
essed none ol those accomplishments that are sup
posed to adorn f fashionable life; reared in the back
woods, seeing and knowing little of elegant and re
fined society. Yet her fine person, strong affections
and good sense, the three great essentials of a woman,
enabled her to take and hold with irresistible force
the passions of that bold, turbulent, strong and fiery
warrior and'statesman to whom she was wedded.
It was the Lion held in the embrace of the Fawn.
The influence she exercised is said to have bordered
on the superstitious. He imagined that no power
or acts of his could succeed, or be carried out, averse
to her will, or in opposition to her feelings. She
seemed his guardian angel, by day and by night;
holding in her hands his life, his late, his all. An
intimate lriend>of his says, that so long as he lived
he wore her miniature near his heart, and never
alluded to her except in a manner so subdued and
full of reverence, that the listener was deeply im
pressed with her transcendent worth.— Exeter News
Letter.
A Predicament.
Quite a ludicrous scene occured the other eve
ning in a fashionable street up town, in New York.
A spruce looking girl of twenty, tripping along at
a moderate pace, with a small bundle under her
arm, was accosted by a gentleman—a fancy gentle
man perhaps—who asked permission to accompany
her. “Certainly,”, said she, “just hold my bundle
while I tie my stocking,” and presenting it to him
as she spake, instantly ran off at full speed. The
gentleman felt a slight movement in the bundle,
and in great trepidation trotted after her, repeatedly
bawling out, “Here, you woman! come back and
take your baby!” Soon a crow r d gathered to learn
the nature of his distress. “A woman gave me her
baby to hold, and then ran off” piteously exclaimed
the man of the burden. “Take it to the alms-house,”
snouted some half dozen voices. “Let ussee it, first,”
cried one more sagacious than the rest; and as a
large coarse towel was unlolded, out full
grown cat, who scampered off amid the vociferous
shouts and laughter of all present, save one, who
looked awfully sad.
It seems that a lady, desiring to rid her house
of one of these animals, whose petty larcenies in
the kitchen were a source of great annoyance, had
commissioned the servant girl to take it out of the
neighborhood and drop it, which secret mission like
many others of greater import, was completely frus
tr. a flisinterested party “letting the cat out
of the bag.”

BT J. AUGUSTINE OBRIEN.
Land of my fathers !—Erin, ’tis to thee,
I fain would wake my fond harp’s minstrelsy :-r
of sorrows —beautiful and fair,
Bright £re thy waters—sweet thy balmy air;
Old Ocean worships at thy emerald shrine—
Laves thy bright shores, enriched by hands divine;
Thy glassy lakes reflect the verdant hills,
Proud in their grandeur-—musical with rills ;
Majestic flow thy io.rdly rivers bright,
Their golden ripples dancing in the light,—
Through emeraldj plains and fragrant dales they
glide,
And wild flowers bow to kiss the sparkling tide,
No other land can boast thy beauties rare,
In Nature’s bounties, none with thee compare.
But gone the days of glory, once thine own, —
When o’er thy vales the star of Freedom shone, —
And undisturbed the emerald banner waved
O’er a proud race, that scorned to be enslaved.
On their proud necks, vainly the heathen Dane
Sought in his might to bind his galling chain;
Scarce had the Sea-king landed from the flood—
Scarce had the tyrant’s foot green Erin trod—
When each bold chieftain seized his mace and bow,
And poured his legions on the invading foe ;
The mighty Bards echoed the warlike tale,
And woke the slumbering hosts of Innisfail.*
Then kingly Brian led his warriors forth,
To meet the conquering tyrant’s of the North ;
O’er evpry field he saw bis green flag wave,
And found on Clont'orfts plain, his glorious grave.
Then, o’er thy fields of beauty, Queenly Isle 1
Wisdom and Science shed their cheering smile;
.And Learning flourished ’neath thy changing skies,
Ere from her darkness Albion sought to rise,
The pious pilgrim sought thy peaceful shore,
From Europe’3 wasted fields of bloed-staine 1 gore,
To thy blessed plains, forced from such barb’rous
taints,
Proud Home of Learning! Island of the Saints !
Lured by thy faithless sons the stranger came, —
Again thv vallies shone with war’s red flame; —
Gone were thy days of peace—thy glories flown,
When tyrant Albion called thy dales her own;
Long-drawn the contest—sad the tale to tell —
Proud Albion conquered—saintly Erin fell.
Now o’er thy wa ted fields, and verdant plain,
Disease, and Death, and ghastly famine reign ;
Thy lofty crags, and verdant vallies fair,
Echo the wails of woe and wild despair.
Shall Wrong still triumph ?—Tyranny still reign ?
And Erin never burst her galling chain?
Are her sons brave? Each field the answer gives,—
On foreign fields green Erin’s glory lives !
Cremona’s walls with answering shout reply,
And Fontenoy shall wafttheir fame on high.
Still, with fierce longings, Ireland’s patriot sons
Pause till the wished-for hour of vengeance comes,
When hand to hand her children shall engage
Their tyrant foes, and strife for Freedom wage.
When the dear land that caught their first-drawn
breath
Shall rise in glory, from her sleep of death.

Mr. Polk’s Administration and
California.
JL/" As the attempt has been made by the whig
press, taking their cue from the California message,
to make the public believe that the present Admin
istration, in their interference in California to influ
ence a certain result, were only lollowing in the
footsteps of Mr.- Polk's administration—we think
it subserving the cause of truth and justice to pub
lish the letter of instructions from Mr. Buchanan
toJVIr. Vorhies, on the eve of his departure for
that territory. The letter will speak for itself, and
completely falsifies the assertions of those who, to
cover up their own guilt, would fain make it be
believed that Mr. Polk's administration was parti
ceps criminis with them.

Department of State, 5
Washington, 7th October, 1848. J
Wm. V. Vorhies, Esq., Washington City:
Sir—Previous to your departure lor California,
the President has instructed me to make known,
through your agency, to the'eitizens of the United
States inhabiting that Territory, his views respect
ing their present condition and future prospects.
He deems it proper to employ you for this purpose,
because the Post Master General has appointed you
an agent, under the “ act to establish certain post
routes,” approved August 14, 1848, “to make ar
rangements for the establishment of post offices,
and for the transmission, receipt and conveyance
ol letters in Oregon and Calilornia.”
The President congratulates the citizens of Cali
fornia on the annexation of their fine prairies to
the United States. On the 30th of May, IS4B
the day on which the ratification of our late treaty
with Mexico were exchanged—California finally be
came an integral portion of this great and glorious
republic; and the act of Congress, to which I have
already referred, in express terms recognizes it to
be “within the territory of the United States.”
May this union be perpetual !•
The people of California may feel the firmest
conviction that the Government and people of the
United States will never abandon them, or prove
unmindful of their prosperity. Their fate and for
tunes are indissolubly united with that of their
brethren on this side of the Rocky mountains.—
How propitious this event, both for them and for
us! Whilst the other nations of the earth are dis
tracted by domestic dissensions, and are involved in
a struggle between the privileges of the few and
the rights of the many, Heaven has blessed our
happy land with a government which secures
equai rights to all our citizens, and has produced
peace, happiness and .contentment throughout our
borders. It has combined liberty with order, and
all the sacred and indefeasible rights of the citizens
with the strictest observance of law. Satisfied
with the institutions under which we live, each in
dividual is, therefore, left free to promote his own
prosperity and happiness in the manner most in
accordance with his own judgment.
Under such a constitution and such laws, the
prospects of California are truly encouraging.
Blessed with a mild and salubrious climate, and a
fertile soil, rich in mineral resources, and extending
over nearly ten degrees of latitude along the coast
of the Pacific, with some of the finest harbors in
the world, the imagination can scarcely fix a limit
to its future wealth and prosperity.
We can behold, in the most distant future, one
or more glorious States of this confederacy spring
ing into existence in California, governed by insti
tutions similar to our own, and extending the bless
ings of religion, liberty and law, over that vast re
gion. Their free, and unrestricted commerce and
intercourse with the other States of the Union will
confer mutual benefits and blessings on all parries
concerned, and will bind us together by the stron
gest ties of reciprocal affection and interest. The
foreign trade with the west coast of America, with
Asia, and the isles»of the Pacific, will be protected
by our common flag, and cannot fail to bear back
to their shores the rich rewards of enterprise and
industry.
After all, however, the speedy realization of these
bright prospects depends much upon the wise and
prudent conduct of the citizens of California ir. the
present emergency. If they commence their career
under proper auspices, their advance will be rapid
and certain; but should they become entangled in
difficulties and dissensions at the start, their prog
ress will be greatly retarded.
The President deeply regrets that Congress did
not, at their last session, establish a territorial gov
ernment for California. It would now be vain to
enter into the reasons for this omission. What
ever those may have been, he is firmly convinced
that Congress feel a deep interest in the welfare of
California and its people, and will, at an early pe
riod ot the next session, provide for them a territo
rial government suited to their wants. Our laws
relating to trade and inteicourse with the Indians
will then be extended over them. Custom-houses
will be established for the collection of the revenue;
and liberal grants of land will be made to those
bold and patriotic citizens who, amidst privations
and dangers, have emigrated or shall emigrate to
that territory from the States on this side of the
Rocky mountains.
The President, in "his annual message at the
commencement of the next session, will recom
mend all ;hese great measures to Congress, in the
strongest terms, and will use every effor, consistent
ly with his duty, to insure their accomplishment.
In the meantime, the condition ot the people of
California is anomalous, and will require on their
part the exercise of great prudence and discretion.
By the conclusion of the treaty of peace, the mili
tary government which was established over them,
under the laws of war as recognized by the practice
of all civilized nations, has ceased to derive its au
thority from this source of power. But is there,
for this reason, no government in Calilornia? Are
life, liberty and property under the protection of no
existing authorities? This would be a singular
phenomenon in the face of the world, and especially
among American citizens, distinguished as they are
above all other people for their law-abiding charac
ter. Fortunately, they are not reduced to this sad
condition. The termination of the war lelt an ex
isting government—a government de facto —in full
.operation; and this will continue with the presumed
consent of the people until Congress shall provide
for them a territorial government. The great law
of necessity justifies this conclusion. The consent
of the people is irresistably inferred from the fact
that no civilized community could possibly desire
to abrogate an existing government, when the al
ternative presented would be to place themselves in a
state of anarchy, beyond the protection of all laws,
and reduce them to the unhappy necessity of .sub
mitting to the dominion of the strongest.
This government de facto will, of course, exercise
no power inconsistent with the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States, which is the su
preme law' of the land. For this reason, no import
duties can be levied in California on articles ol the
growth, produce, or manufacture of the U. States,
as no such duties can be imposed in any other part
of cur Union on the productions of California. Nor
can new' duties be charged in California upon such
foreign productions as have already paid duties in
any of our ports of entry, for the obvious reason
that California is within the territory of the United
States. I shall not enlarge upon this subject, how
ever, as the Secretary of the Treasury will perlorm
that duty.
The President urgently advises the people of
Calilornia to live peaceably and quietly under the
existing government. He believes that this will
promote their lasting and best interests. If it be
not what they could desire, and had a right to ex
pect, they can console themselves with the reflec
tion, that it will endure but for a tew months
Should they attempt a change or.amend it during
this brief period, they most probably could not ac
complish their object before the government estab
lished by Congress would go into operation. • In
the mean time, the country would be agitated, the
citizens would be withdrawn from their usual em
ployments, and domestic strife might divide and
exasperate the people against each other; and this
all to establish a government which, in no con
ceivable contingency, could endure tof a single'year
During this brief period it is better to bear the ills
they have, than to fly to others they know not of.
The permanent prosperity of any new couutry
is identified with the perfect security, of jts land ti
tles. The land system ol the General Government
has been a theme of admiration throughout the
world. The wisdom of man has never devised a
plan so well calculated to prevent -litigation and
place the rights of owners of the soil beyond dis
pute. This system has been one great cause of the
rapid settlement .and progress of our new btates
and Territories. Emigrants have been attracted
there, because every man knew that' when he had
acquired land from the Government, he could sit
under his own vine, and under his own fig tree, and
there would be no one to make him afraid. Indeed,
there can be no greater drawback to the prosperity
of a country, as several of the older States have ex
perienced, than disputed land titles. Prudent men will
be deterred from emigrating to a State or Territory
where they cannot obtain an indisputable title, and
must, consequently, be exposed to the danger of
strife and litigations in respect to the soil on which
they dwell. An uncertainty respecting the secu
rity of land titles arrests all valuable improvement,
because no prudent man will expend his means for
this purpose, whilst there is danger that another
may deprive him of the fruit of his labors. It is
fortunate, therefore, that Congress alone, under the
Constitution, possesses “ the power to dispose ot and
make all needtul rules and regulations respecting
the territory or other property belonging to the
United States.” In the exercise of this power, the
President is convinced that the emigrants will re
ceive liberal donations of the public land.
Although Congress have not established territo
rial government for the people of California, they
have not been altogether unmindful of their inter
ests. The benefit of our post-office laws has been
extended to them ; and you will bear with you au
thority from the Postmaster General to provide lor
the conveyance of public inlormation and private
correspondence among themselves, and between
them and the citizens of Oregon and of our States
East of the Rocky mountains. The monthly stea
mers on the line from Panama to Astoria have
been required “ to stop and deliver and take mails
at San Diego, San Francisco and Monterey." These
steamers, connected by the Isthmus ol Panama with
those on the Atlantic between N. York and Chagres,
will keep up a regular communication with Califor
nia, and afford lacilities to all those who may desire
to emigrate to that territory.
The necessary appropriations have also been
made by Congress to maintain troops in Calilornia,
to protect its inhabitants against all attacks from
a civilized or savage foe. and it will afford the Pres
ident peculiar pleasure to perform this duty prompt
ly and effectively.
But, above all, the Constitution of the U. States,
the safe guard of all our civil rights, was extended
over Calilornia on the 30th May, 1848. the clay on
which our late treaty with Mexico was finally con
! summated. From that day its inhabitants became
! entitled to all the blessings and benefits resulting
I from the best form of civil government ever estab

j of this inestimable boon, no doubt is entertained.
Whilst the population of California will be com
posed chiefly of our own kindred, ot a people spea
king our own language and educated tor self-gov
ernment under our own institutions, a considerable
portion of them were Mexican citizens before the
late treaty of peace. : These our new citizens ought
to be, and from the justice and generosity of the
American character the President is confident that
they will be, treated with respect and kindness, and
thus be made to feel that by changing their alle

happy. Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

WILLIAM S. AMWEG,
Attorney at Law,
OFFERS his professional services to the public.
He also attends to the collection of Pensions,
and the prosecution of all manner of claims against
the general government. His residence in the city
of Washington for several years, the experience
derived from the duties of the office, which he had
filled during that time, and the mode in which claims
of this sort are most speedily adjusted, give the
most ample assurance that business placed in his
hands will be attended to in such manner as can
not fail to afford satisfaction.

Wooing a Wife; Strange Courtship.
We copy the following strange revelations from
Hoadley’s * Adoronack, Or Lile in the Woods;”
The other day I took R boot to a shoemaker, or
rather mender, .of whom I was told a capital anec
dote. An English emigrant had settled down in a
remote part of the forest, where he cleared a little
space about him and built a log but. He had been
here but a year or two. when one day as he was
absent in the woods with his eldest daughter, his
hut took fire and burned down. His wife was sick,
but she managed to crawl out, taking the straw
bed on which she lay with her. At evening the
husband returned to find his house in ruins. It was
a winter night, and the snow lay deep on the ground.
Calling aloud, he heard a faint voice reply, and
ing in the direction lrom which it came,found his wife
stretched on the bed in the snow. Getting together
a few’ boards which were lelt from the conflagra
tion. he made-a shelter over her. That night she
was safely delivered of a child which survived and
is now living. But under the exposure and excite
ment together the husband took a violent cold,
which, having fastened on his lungs, and being re
sisted by no medical treatment whatever termina
ted in the consumption. He however, reared another
hut. and during the-summer a young settler came
in and purchased a tract near by him. He being
the only family within a long distance, this back
woodsman often passed the evening in their society.
It was not long before he discovered that his neigh
bor could not long survive, for the most ignorant
in this region know all the symptoms of pulmonary
disease which carries off three-fourths ot all those
who die. Accompanying this conclusion came
naturally the reflection what could become of the
wifr;; and as she was good-looking and industrious
he thought he could not do better than to marry
her himself. Acting under this conclusion he men
tioned ihe matter to her, remarking that her hus
band could not live long, and asking her il she would
marry him after he was dead?
She replied that she had no objection at all if
“her husband was willing.” He said he had no
doubt on that point, and he would speak to him
about it. He did so, and the husband unhesitatingly
gave his consent, adding that he was glad she would
be so well provided for after his death. So when
the winter approached, the young settler would
come and “court” the prospective widow, while
the dying husband lay and coughed on the bed in
the corner.
Blackwood’s Magazine and the
British Quarterly Reviews.
OWING to ihe late revolutions and counter-rev
olutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which “the end is not yet,” the leading pe
riodicals of Great Britain have become invested
with a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They
occupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoin
ted, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises
to be furnished by the historian at a future day.
Whoever reads these periodicals obtains a correct
and connected account of all the important political
events of the old world, as they occur, and learns
the various conclusions drawn from them by the
leading spirits of the age. The American Publish
ers therefore deem it proper to call renewed atten
tion to the works they republish an l the very low
prices at which they are offered to subscribers.—
The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINGBURG REVIEW. ■
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW.
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, and
BLACKWOODS EDINGBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the view::,
moderately, though clearly and firmly expressed,
of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig,
and Radical—“ Blackwood” and the “ London
Quarterly” are Tory ; the Edinburgh Review”
Whig; and the “Westminter Review” Liberal.—
The “ North British Review” owes its establish
ment to the last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one
of the grand departments of human knowledge: it
was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now,
since his death, is conducted by his son-in-law, Dr.
Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster. Its
literary character is of the very highest order. The
“Westminster,” though reprinted under that title
only, is published in England under the title of the
“Foreign Quarterly & Westminster,” it being in fact
a union of the two Reviews formerly published and
reprinted under separate titles. It has, therefore,
the advantage by combination, of uniting in one
work the best features of both as heretofore issued.
.The above Periodicals are reprinted in New
York, immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are faithful copies of the originals,
Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact facsimile of
the Edinburgh edition.

STORE.—Just received, together with the
latest Fall and Winter Fashions, the largest and
most splendid assortment of FALL and WINTER
GOODS ever before exhibited in Lancaster county,
at M. T. Ford’s Tower Hall Clothing Store, oppo
site Vankenan’s (late Scholfield’s) Hotel.
The citizens of Lancaster county, and strangers
who may be visiting the city, arc respect ully in
vited to an examination of this magnificent stock ,
comprising an unrivalled collection of uncut Cloths,
Cassimcres, and Vestings; with Overcoats, Sack
Dress and Frock Coats, Monkey Jacke.s, Pams,
Vests, Shirts, Stocks, Shams, Cravats of all des
criptions, Hosiery, Suspenders, Gloves, and in fact
everything necessary to complete a gentleman’s
wardrobe, and at prices that no others in the trade
attempt to compete with. 0
Remember, gentlemen, that this is no. trade
clothing shop, as the proprietor has from the start
set his face against orders of all kinds, and conse
quently does not put a high tariff on his customers
for fear they may have a builder’s order, but sell
ing exclusively for cash he can and does Bell his
goods for less than it costs most of the Tailors to
manufacture them. So you see your true interest
lies in patronizing the Tower Hall of M. T. FORD
North Queen street, opposite the Franklin Hotel.
