“ Oh, Laura ! will nothing I bring thee
E’er soften those looks of disdain ?
Are the songs of affection I sing thee
All doomed to be sung thee in vain?
I offer thee, fairest and dearest,
A treasure, the richest I’m worth ;
I offer thee love, the sincerest,
The warmest e’er glowed upon earth !’•’
But the maiden, a haughty look flinging,
Said, “ Cease my compassion to move;
For I’m not very partial to singing,
And they’re poor whose sole treasure is love!
“ My name will be sounded in story —
I offer thee, dearest, my name;
I have fought on the proud field of glory !
Oh ! Laura some share in my fame.
I bring a soul that adores thee,
And loves thee wherever thou art;
Which thrills as its tribute it brings thee
Ol tenderness fresh from the heart.”
But the maiden said, “ Cease to importune ;
Give Cupid the use of its wings';
For fame’s but a pitiful fortune—
And hearts are such valueless things.”
Oh Laura forgive if I’ve spoken
Too boldly—nay turn not away —
For my heart with affliction is broken--
My uncle died only to-day!
My uncle the nabob—who tended
My youth with affection and care ;
My manhood who kindly befriended—-
Has —died—and—has—left—me—hie—heir!
And the maiden said, “ Weep not, sincerest'
My heart has been your’s all along;
Oh ! hearts of treasures are dearest —
Do, Edward, go on with your song.”

THE COUSINS.
BY LASSFOIIE.
[continued ]
Swiftly our good bark flew o'er the waters. All
was quiet. The expectation of battle seemed to
throw a deep gloom over our shipmates; this was
unusual. Often I have seen them, ere going into
battle, to laugh, boast and jest on each one’s com
ing part during the fight. Twas not so now ;
something was astir, at work in the minds of our
brave lads. There shone in each eye that line,
brave, fearless expression, that I had seen before.—
No, all was like an overshadowing cloud—leaving
darkness where ’twas before light. The Captain
had been standing on our off all this time, for he
wished to get a fair view of our enemy’s tonnage
and fighting qualities before we entered into an
engagement.
Everyman was standing by his post, with his
match in his hand, ready to pour in a destructive
lire as soon as commanded. As the wind increased,
faster flew our vessel; she sped o'er the wave like
a vessel of hope and succour toward our suffering
crew. 'Twas near the time for the Moon to set ?
and if we were not engaged in a short time all
hope was over of obtaining a prize. The ship
which was before within our sight, still remained
so; but yet we did not appear to get any nearer to
her. There she stood abaft our lee bow with her
tall, rakish mast full-rigged canvass, as if under
full saii. Yet not one inch did we gain or she lose.
The men began to grow impatient, and deep tho 1
not loud murmurings came from the after deck.
Jones! make the signal for action, cried the Capt.
Immediately there was a flash that illuminated the
sea around for the space of a moment—then fol
lowed the booming noise of the gun as it rolled o'er
the sea. All our hearts beat quick and last. Ex
pectation was at its highest. Would that gun be
answered ? was the question asked by many. No
one knew. All was suspense and excitement, and
superstition, with its dangerous hand, came creep
ing o'er our minds. One minute had elapsed since
our gun was fired."" She could not have but heard
it. Man looked at his fellow in silent wonder and
inquiry. Again our strictest attention was at the
ship; she yet retained her old position, seemingly
running at the same rate as ourselves. Again,
Jones, commanded the Lieutenant. Once more
followed the flash and roll of guns—and- guns
that spoke in voice of thunder! We earnestly
watched the ship. Suddenly throwing her sails
aback, she tacked and passed under our stern like
a flash. Down ! down ! cried the Captain—suppo
sing she would rake us fore and aft. The order
wasjpbeyed by all, but one man. His bold, fearless
spirit was not afraid to face danger and death.—
Leaping on the bulwarks, he descried the vessel
gradually disappearing beneath the waves ; but not
until he had read the nanje of the Phantom Bark
glittering on her stern. He saw enough ; 'twas
Suicide ! Harry fell back from the railing with
deadened plunge into the sea. Man over-board !.
resounded through the vessel, and as quick as
thought a boat was manned and sent to his rescue.
A few moments elapsed, when they returned, bear
ing his dripping body in their arms. I had him
conveyed below, and restoratives applied. The
Captain thought that this was too fine a chance to
let slip by without making an example of Harry
Next day he was partly recovered, when he was
anested and condemned to. punishment for disobe
dience of orders. Harry was a favorite among the
crew; they could not bear to see him punished for
so trifling a fault. You would see them gathering
in knots about the forecastle or gangway, talking
in an under tone to each other, and as they parted
their features wore a sullen, dissatisfied aspect.—
The Captain had noticed this once or twice, and
forbade the men collecting, under fear of arrest.
This did no good ; nightly, groups of them would
visit Harry, and resisted the commands of the Cap
tain. Harry firmly, though kindly, thanking them,
refused them all. Conscious of no crime, he would
submit rather than involve his fellows in the trou
ble. The day at* last arrived that was to witness
Harrjr’s digrace for his First Offence.

Foreign News.
The steamship Cambria with Liverpool dates to
the 13th, arrived at Halifax at 2 o'clock on the
29th ult., and sailed at ft o'clock, same day. for
New York.
ENGLAND.
The London Times has adopted a tone of much
severity against the existing government —it de
votes a considerable space to the subject of Sir H.
Bulwer's correspondence with Secretary Clayton,
relative to a modification, of the present tariff on
iron. The opinion is-advanced in several quaiters,
that the restrictive policy of the United States, if
continued, would lead to a still greater depression
in the large iron business of Great Britain.
The weather, both in England and’ Ireland, is
remarkably genial. The crops" look exceedingly
well.
FRANCE
The violence of faction, and the near approach
of the election, give rise to fears for the continu
ance of the present calm. ' .
Letters of the sth ult. from Rome, state that final
arrangements have been made for the Pontiff's re
turn. He would arrive at Tericero, on Sunday.
GREECE.
The Greek question has not been adjusted, and
in the event of the failure of the friendly offices of
France, there is every reason to apprehend a seiious
difficulty between England and Russia; as the for
mer, in the event stated, Has given Admiral Parker
express orders to enforce a complete blockade of
the coast*of Greece, and should he do so, the Em
peror of Russia has given positive assurances of his
intention to advance to the assistance of King Otho-
LATER.
The British mail steamer Canada, with dates one
week later than the Cambria, arrived on Wednesday
evening, at Halifax.
She brings news that the British Ministry have
met with another signal defeat, upon a portion of
the Chancellor's budget. It is thought they will
ressgn.
No actual outbreak has occurred, but things are
evidently approaching a crisis in France.
The Pope has returned to Rome and was well
received.
Dreadful .Accident in France—Three Hun
dred Lives Lost.— ln addition to the telegraphic
account of the terrible catastrophe at Angers, we
get the following particulars in a letter to the Lon
don Morning Post:
. “A frightful catastrophe has occurred at Angers,
which was lately the scene of tumult and disorgan
ization. The third battalion was marching across
the suspension bridge which leads in the town; the
staff had reached the left pier, close to the Chateau,
when suddenly the chains were heard to crash, and
with a sudden swerve and oscillation the bridge
broke down, and upwards of COO men, armed with
bayonets and sabres, were plunged into the river,
swollen to twice its usual size by the recent heavy
rains. The harrowing scene which followed sur
passed all description.
The chains of the left pier continued to hold, and
the remainder ol the regiment, including the last
file of the Voltigeurs, sprung with distraction to
the pier and clung to the chains, which happily did
not tall. The rain was falling in torrents, and the
swollen and muddy stream, which rushes by ‘ Black
Angers,” as our King John called this city, earned
away with it scores and scores of struggling soldiers.
“ Meantime, as the troops had their bayonets fixed,
several of the men inflicted frightful wvounds on
their sinking comrades, until at last the river be
came completely ensanguined from the blood which
streamed from their wounds, thus unconsciously in
flicted. As the rain still continued to pour, the oc
currence was not witnessed by many persons; but
the alarm was quickly given, and all the boatmen
and fishermen of the Loire and Maine came up
with drags. Ac., and several dying and drowned
men were saved from a watery grave.
IRELAND.
Dublin, April 19.
Awful Stoiim and Destruction of Property.
—Yesterday the city was visited with the most
terrific storm ol thunder, lightning, and hail com
bined ever rememembered in this country, and, its
characteristics, hitherto unknown in these latitudes.
Its Phenomena were rather those peculiar to the
sudden snow gales of the Baltic, the fatal Mediter
ranean white squall, or the disastrous and too often
unforeseen and unprovided for West Indian hurri
cane. Passengers by the Northern Railway train,
state that theotempest raged fearfully all along the
line, and that the town of Drogheda has suffered
fearfully from its effects. On a rough calculation
it is estimated that £30,000 worth of glass alone
has been destroyed in Dublin. Glaziers were last
night at a high premium. A good deal of rain fell
during the night, and this moroning it is blowing
a fresh gale from the S. W.
“Glasnevin— The storm appears to have raged
with much greater violence here than it did on the
South side of the city. The devastation it has made
on the roofs of the conservatories is indescribable;
scarcely a whole pane in some of the houses re
mains.'-
All about Tomatoes.
Tomatoe Saitce. —Take ripe tomatoes, peal and
stew them with apples, for sauce, and season with
salt and pepper. If a due quantity of water be ad
ded*, no salt will be necessary. Sauce thus prepared
is not too acid to be eaten with meat, but when
otherways used, the flavor is rendered more agree
able to the palate of most people by adding a small
quantity of fine sugar, honey, or molasses.
Tomatoe Dumplings. —Take the skin carelully
from the tomatoe without rupturing the meat. —
1 he process of making, cooking, and saucing, is the
same as that pursued in forming .and preparing
apple dumplings.
Tomatoe Jelly. —Having divested the tomatoes ol
the rinds, squeeze .them through a fine cloth, add
to the mass its weight in dry sugar; boil to a jelly
and bottle it closely. It should be kept in a cool,
but not a freezing place. Jelly prepared in this
manner, will retain its flavor unimpaired for a long
lime. It is an excellent article.
Broiled Tomatoes. —Select the largest, cut them in
two and broil them over a moderate fire till done.
Add a little butter, or salt, and pepper, and you have
an excellent dish.
Raw Tomatoes. —Take the ripest fruit, cut it into
vinegar in thin slices, the same as cucumbers* and
and a little pepper and salt, if you like, or use the
Bame as other fruit. This is an excellent dish.
'lomatoe o;nefc/.—Procure two quarts of perlectly
ripe and fresh tomatoes, cut them carefully and
simmer for the space of two minutes over a toler
able quick fire.. Cut a few onions fine, and mix
with them a due quantity of crumbled bread and a
small lump of butter. When nearly done beat up
eight eggs, and mix them thoroughly with the mass
by rapid stirring. In a few minutes will
be done.
Fried Twiatoes. —Slice, and fry in :good sweet
butter, or without if you prefer. The rind should
be first carefully removed. Or take a piece of good
pork, cut into small pieces, and add an onion, “of
size proportionate to the family; cut up fine, fry
these brown; put in the tomatoes, cover them up
and fry till well done.” This method is highly rec
ommended and many who cannot endure tomatoes
prepared in any other way, admire them when fried
thus.
Tomato Jigs. These are best prepared by first
scilding them and removing the skin. To every
peck of fruit, add six pounds of good sugar cook
them over the fire. No water or other liquid should
be added until the sugar has dissolved and penetra
ted them,and they are clarified. They should then
be placed on dishes to flatten and dry in the sun.
If a little syrup be sprinkled over them occasionally
as they are drying, they will be greatly improved.
As soon as dry, they should be carefully packed in
boxes. Preserved according to the above directions,
tomatoes will keep a long time. The syrup re
maining after the process may be concentrated and
bottled lor use, the bottles being previously well
cleansed, and filling, closely sealed with melted
wax, to prevent the deteriorating effects of air

“ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”-— Buchanan.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 14, 1850.
THE MOSS ROSE.
The Angel of the flowers one day
Beneath a rose tree sleeping lay—
That spirit to whom power is given
To bathe young buds in dew from-heaven,
Awaking from its light repose
The AngeJ whispered to the rose :
“ Ah, fondest object of my care,
Still fairest found where*all are fair—
For the sweet shade thou givest to me,
Ask what thou wilt, ’tis granted thee.”
“ Then,” said the Rose, with deepened glow
“On me, another grace bestow.”
The Angel paused in silent thought;
“ What grace was there that flowers had not?”
’Twas but a moment—o’er the Rose
A veil of Moss the Angel throws ;
And robed in Nature’s simplest weed,
Could there a flower that Rose exceed ?
Services of a Clergyman and the Value of
a Kiss.—An amusing trial came off) a short time
since, at Panama, New Grenada, in which a Con
gregational clergyman, from New York, cut a ri
diculous figure. The correspondent of a New York
paper lurnishes the following account. Gentlemen
who intend crossing the Isthmus may learn the
cost of “doing the agreeable” to the young ladies
they meet:
“This gentleman was passenger on board the
steamer from New York, with one of the adventur
outf ladies that are now making the California tour
in swarms, unprotected and unaccompanied, for
whom, in a short time, he conceived an unaccount
able liking, and wishing to know more of her, of
fered his protection across the Isthmus. In the
plenitude of his Christian goodness, he paid out
twenty-four dollars as part of her travelling expen
ses, to say nothing of the innumerable soft and del
icate attentions showered upon her during the trip.
On their arrival at Panama, the ungrateful creature
left him for a dearer friend, unpaitkand unconsoled
—a course of treatment our venerable Jriend could
not brook; and, with the fool-hardiness of an insane
man, brought the matter before the sitting judge,
in the form of a civil suit. Here the whole affair
was criticised, analyzed and dissected. The nature
of the case soon brought crowds to the court room.
The trial, as it proceeded gained increased interest.
The counsel for the lady, in the summing up, in
quired nowingly, of the judge, if his client had not
an equal right to ask payment for certain little
breaches of travelling etiquette, which he was guil
ty of on his way up the river ? The judge replied
in the affirmative, and gave it as his opinion, that
the gentleman should forfeit $12 —half the sum—
being the equivalent to the pleasure he received in
kissing her hand, and offering sundry other flatter
ing attentions, while the lady was adjudged to pay
the gentleman the other half of his claim. The
claim was paid at once, by voluntary contributions
from the spectators, which, with the most degrad
ing insults and indignities from the crowd, he pock
eted and vanished.
Tue Great Tunnel of tue Alps. —To com
plete a direct line of railroad communication be
tween Boulogne and Venice and Ancona, and, con
sequently, between London and the Adriatic, one
only obstacle lies in the way. The chain of Monte
Cenis and Monte Genevre, would cross such a line,
and present, with their elevation of 11,000 feet an
insurmountable bar to any direct and continuous
railway. From London, as far as Chambery, by
the Lyons railroad, all is smooth enough: nay, that
rail is about to push further, ascending to Mont
Meilland and St Maurienne, and, by an ulterior ef-
Jort, it wilt yet reach higher, as far as Modane.
But once there, further progress is arrested, and
no Train can hope to reach the Italian side to Susa
and Turin, unless a subterranean passage be pierced
through the snow-capped barrier. Such a pro&lem
has been actually under the consideratian of the
Sardinian Government since August, 1845. The
possibility of boring through Mount Genevre, and
of linking Chambery with Susa, north aud South
ot that range, is a demonstrated truth. The great
tunnel of the Alps is about to become a reality,
under the auspices of Victor Emanuel and the
Piedmontese Parliament. The author of this gigan
tic scheme is Chevalier Henry Maus, Honorary In
spector the Genie Civil. After five years of inces
sant study of this question, this officer made his fi
nal report to the Government on the Bth of Febru
ary, 1849.
A Commission was thereupon named on th*e 1 3th
of July, 1849, to examine and give their opinion
on the nature and feasibility of Chevalier Mans’s
project. That Cemmission on the Ist Nov. last,
decided unanimously and entirely in favor of the
. application for the part of the funds
required to begin the great tunnel will be made to
the Chambers forthwith, and the'work, which it
is expected will occupy five years, will cost 14,
Uoo,ouof. The great tunnel itself will measure
12,290 metres, or nearly seven English miles in
length; its greatest height will be 19 feet, and its
width 20, admitting of course, of a double line of
rail.
A Big Foot,
We heard today of a laughable “ Anecdote of a
man with a big foot." He was a Buffalonian, who
must be living now, for a man with so good a hold
upon the ground is not likely to “drop off" in a
hurry. He stepped one day into a small shop of a
boot-maker’s, in the flourishing capital of old Erie,
and asked Crispin if he could make him a pair of
boots. Looking at his long splay pedal extremities,
and then glancing at a huge uncut cow-hide that
hung upon the wall, he said—
“ Well, yes, I guess so."
“What time will you have them done? To-day
is Monday."
“Well, it'll depend on circumstances; I guess I
can have 'em done for you by Saturday.”
On Saturday, therefore, the man called for his
boots :
“Have you got 'em done?* said he, as he entered
the little shop.
“No, 1 haven t—l couldn't; it has rained every
day since I took your measure.”
“Rained!" exclaimed the astonished patron;—
“Well, what of that? What had that to do with it!"
“ What had tuat to do with it?" echoed Crispin;
“It had a good deal to do with it. When I make
your boots I have,got to do it out doors, for I havn't
room in my shop, and I cant work out doors in
rainy weather?"
It was the same man of “large understanding"
whom the porters use to bother so, when he landed
from a steamer. They would rush up to him, seize
hold of his feet, saying: “ Where shall I take vour
L' a g§ a g. c > sir?" “ Where's this trunk to go, sir?"
CUPID CRYING,
Why is cupid crying so 7—
Because his jealous mother beat him.
What for? For giving up his bow
To Celia, who contrived to cheat him.
The child ! I could not have believed
He’d give his weapons to another,
He would not—but he was deceived ;
She smiled—he thought it was his mother,
[D~A gentleman advertising for a wife, says:
“It would be well that the lady should bepossessed
of a competency sufficient to secure her against the
effects of excessive grief, in case of accident to her
companion."
[Lr “If you say another crooked word, I'll koock
your brains out,” said a blacksmith to-his wife.
“ Ram s horns, you dog, if I die for it,” was the very
gentle reply of the affectionate spouse."
GOOD ADVICE FOR EVERYBODY.
If wisdom’s ways you wisely seek,
Five things observe with care ;
Of whon\ you speak, to whom you speak—
And how, and when—and where.
* Law. —A publication has been made, giving, as
far as can be ascertained, the name, residence, and
post office of every practising lawyer in the United
States. The entire list shows that there are nine
teen thousand five hundred!
There were about 100 lives lost by the explosion
on board ffie steamer Anthony Wayne, near San

Brown’s Essence of Jamaica
Ginger.
Prepared only by Frederick Brown, at his Drug and
Chemical Store , north east corner Fifth and
Chesnut streets, Philada .
THE Essence is a preparation of unusual excel
lence aud of varied properties. In all cases
where a powerful and safe stimulant is required,
it is unrivalled for efficacy as well as immediate ac
tion. To the traveller and to the family circle it is
invaluable, as a few drops diluted in sugar and wa
ter present a safe and agreeable remedy to the in
valid who requires immediate relief, as well as to
the convalescing patient who needs a gentle tonic.
In a Southern climate, where the relaxation of the
system so generally induces thirst for stimulants, it
will always be found an excellent substitute for
those tempting beverages which debilitate the sto
mach and cause a morbid condition of its powers.
In dyspepsia, in relaxation of the bowels, in nausea
and sea-sickness, it is an active and safe as well as
a pleasant and refreshing remedy, and is prescribed
by the most eminent of the medical faculty.
