TO MARY BY H. A. 11. We parted in silence, we parted by night, On the bank of that lonely river, Where the willows wild, their boughs unite, We met —and we parted forever. The night bird sar.g, and the stars above Told many a touching story, Of Friends long past to a haven of love, Where the soul wears its mantle of glqry. We parted in silence —our cheeks were wet With tears that were past controlling ; We vowed we would never—no never.forget, And these vows were then consoling. We parted in silence, wc parted in tears, 'On the banks of that lonely river, But the color and bloom of by-gone years, Shall hang o’er its waters forever. “ THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.” Around her waist I put my arm, I felt as.soft’s cake; “Oh dear!” says she “ what liberty You printer-men do take !” «* Why yes, my Sal, my charming gal; (I eq'ueezed her some, I guess,) Can you say 0, my chick againat “ The freedom, of the Press I kissed here some —I did, by gum— She colored like a beet; Upon my living soul she., looked, Almost too good to eat! ' l gave her another buss, and tben Says she, I do confess, I rather sorter kinder like “ The freedom of the Press Curious Railroad Adventure. A corespondent of the Pittsfield (Mass.) Sun re. lates the following singular story of a “ happy gen tleman," who attempted to use the Housatonic Rail road track as a public highway: When the night train from New York was within three-fourths of a mile of the Falls Village Depot, Canaan, Ct., an obstruction was felt by Mr. Bridg man, conductor, who, upon questioning the engineer found that he had discovered an object on the track, but was so close upon it, and under such headway, as to be unable to escape it. On examining the cow-catcher, on the arrival at the depot, the inter stices were found filled with the fragments of a wagon body, presenting the appearance of*a crow s nest.—With much anxiety, the conductor, with at tendants and lights, passed back over the»track.— Some eighty rods from the depot, a broken jug was found, which sustained .the observation of one of the temperance hands immediately previous, that “ there was rum somewhere/’ Some dozen rods “ further, discovered a shirt, without owner and with out blood. Soon the broken spokes and hubs, and tires, wrenched and broken, brought them to the scene of the disaster. In a deep excavation'adjacent was found a valua ble horse, upon his back, stiff, and with faint signs of life. In the meantime no human forms were discovered, until the loud call of the conductor was heard, when the unsteady voice ot an equally un steady man was heard in the thicket, near at hand, who clambered down the bank as directly as cir cumstances would admit. He was accompanied by two interesting boys, one four and the other six or eight years of age. To the question ot Mr. Bridgman, “ what are you doing on the track of the .raiload ?” the answer returned was in the memorable style of the army in Flanders, of which Uncle Toby spoke sometime ago. It seemed the poor man had no conception that he had been rode down by the iron horse, or that he was on any other but a shocking bad pub- lic road, of which fact alone he seemed to be fully sensible; for the smallest boy remarked, that papa said as they were coming along, that he should not ride over the road again till they had repaired ir. The upshot of the matter is this : The man was engaged in looking up a farm for purchase. _ A gentleman .in a neighboring town had lent him a valuable family horse, with which he had made a journey to his former residence. He was on his return. He had’ drank something stronger than water, which confused either his eyesight or his judgment; that where the public road crossed the railroad, instead of passing directly on, he turned upon the track, tiers of which a good portion of the way, protruded from 4 to 8 inches above the level—and passed no less than five “ cattle guards.’" ope or two of which were of double width. The horse, with the buggy, jugs, &c., safely leaped them all, unaccountable as it may seem. The noise of his own conveyance was such as to conceal the ap proach of the locomotive in the rear, which demol ished the buggy,.threw the horse into the ditch, and safely depositing the “ interesting stranger” and his fine boys upon, a high bank, some 14 feet in as cent. What is remarkable, is this—the man affirmed that the horse had run away and smashed the bug gy; the horse was turned over and helped to rise, and not a bone or even the skin was found broken. The person of the man and of his two boys were unmutilated—no other marks were received than a fine coat stripped in the back from from waist to “collar, and a somewhat comical expression given to the rear of his hat. A pretty good commentary’, this, upon temperate drinking. We ought -to add, further, that another jug was found in the road, safe and sound, and full, which was duly smashed by those in attendance, to the no small chagrin of its owner. The Magic o? Kindness —Who will deny there is a magic in kindness, a magic by which every grief may be dispelled, and every tear be brushed away—many a heart sad and sorrowing has been made light by a single kind word or deed, and many a “person has been by its gentle influence raised from shame and misery. Yes! it has instill ed the seeds of virtue in the bosom of many who were fast sinking to ruin and- degradation. Those seeds have taken root and flourished vigorously, making happy and honorable those who would otherwise have been outcasts of society. A kind instead pf-a harsh word has led the degraded back to the path of virtue, and shown him there is some thing bright to be attained by. following honor’s course. Ihen who would refuse a kind act, or a gentle word ; it costs nothing, and may be a jewel of great price to the children of sorrow and mis fortune. The Khaisi Cattle.— The two Damascus cat tle presented by Lieut. Lynch, to the State, were exhibited by Col. Castleman in Winchester on Mon day last. They are beautiful animals, lightly and delicately formed, and standing about fourteen and sixteen hands high respectively. The bull is but twenty-three months old, and weighs 119 Q lbs; the heifer two months younger weighs 700. Winches ter Virginian. Es*When Haddix’s wile kicked him out of bed, says he to his spouse: “See here, now, you had better not do that again ! If you do, it will cause a coolness!" “Mary Murray, yon say—and, pray, who is she'?’’ These words were addressed by one young lady to another, in reference to an acquaintance to whom one of them had just bowed. Who ? The daughter of Widow Murray. A dear, sweet, amiable girl as ever lived is Mary, too —you ought to know her.” “ I'd rather not,” .said the first speaker, with a toss of the head. st The daughter of widow Mur ray, who keeps a petty thread and needle store!— Why, the next thing will be to associate with one's kitchen maids.” “ But, in this country, Emma, it is merit that makes the rank,” replied the other. “ Here, you know, we have no aristocracy. Mary Murray is more beautiful, more accomplished, and more amiable, too, than half my school-mates.” r “ Wei), I can tell you one thing, if you keep up your acquaintance with her, you’ll be cut by all genteel people. Do you think the.Livingstons, Harrisons, and Lawrences will come to your par ties, if they are to meet shop-girls there?” “ They can-do as they please,” replied Kate Vil liers, with spirit. “ But one thing is certain, I shall not give up Mary for them, as I like her for her self and not her ancestors. Besides, for all 1 know, she may’ be as wellborn as they are; I never thought to inquire.” Just at this moment a handsome young man, riding a beautiful horse, passed, and made a bow to the young ladies. The first speaker all blush es at this public notice from one of the richest and most fashionable men in the city. •‘Dear-me,” said she,.*• how glad I am he did not see you speak to that Miss Murray ! He would never have noticed either •of us again.” Kute Viiliers curled her pretty lip in scorn, as she replied, “Frank Hastings is too sensible to be affected by such a thing, 1 fancy. But, if he is not, he is only the more to be pitied.” And warming with natu ral indignation, she continued, It vexes me beyond patience to see people, in this country, talking of the gentility of their families, when, out of a hun dredf there is scarcely one that is not descended, and at no great distance, from some honest me-” chanic or respectable .farmer. Take our richest families! A- century ago they were poor, while the real old gentry of that day are now generally beggared. Who was Astor? A poor German lad. Who was Girard? A French cabin-boy. What was Abbot Lawrence once? A Yankee wood-chop per. bo, too, our great statesmen, Clay, Webster, and Benton? all rose from nothing. We ought to ask, not who a person's ancestors were, but what they are themselves.’’ Kor the lutelligeneri. A lew days after, as Kale and her acquaintance were walking,together, they met Miss Murray, who, unconscious of offence, stopped to converse with Kate. Emma was evidently uneasy, the more so as her keen eye detected Frank Hastings prome nading down the street toward them. Politeness, kept her stationary, for a moment, but, as he drew nearer, the disgrace of being seen with the daugh ter qf a “ thread and needle woman,” as Emma called Mrs.'Murray, proved too strong for'her cour tesy, and she abruptly broke away and went into a store, pretending a wish to purchase some ribbon. Frank Hastings, meantime, came sauntering idly down the street, and only perceived Kate when close upon her. v “ Good morning,” he said, bowing, his eye at tracted by Miss Murray's pleasing face. “Will you take pity on an idler Miss Viiliers, and allow me to accompany you in your walk?” Kate, who was eagerly engaged, and to a friend of Frank s, answered frankly, for she and Hastings were.almost, as intimate as brother and sister, “ 1 shall be pleased if you will. Only you must be very agreeable, for my Friend and I are used to having sense talked to us, and, if you don't acquit yourself creditably, we shall black-ball you, as you say at the club, the next time you ask for permis sion to walk with us.’’ Frank, however, needed no incentive to induce him to talk his best; for the sweet countenance ol Mary, in which every emotion of the heart was reflected, was inspiration enough. They stopped at last, at Mrs. Murray’s little store. Frank looked, with some surprise, at the humble appearance ol the dwelling; but this did not prevent his bow to Mary being deeply respect ful, as he walked off with her friend. : “And that charming girl,” he said, “ assists to support her mother, by standing behind the coun ter. Do you know. Kate, I was half in love with her before, and now I am. entirely so ? A wife, such as she would make, is worth having, because worth a dozen of the foolish votaries of fashion— gilded, conceited butterflies like your friend Emma. You must take me to Miss Murray's some evening, and introduce me regularly.” Kate had known Frank too well to suppose he would despise Mary, because her mother had been reduced to comparative poverty; but she had not dreamed for an instant, of his falling in love with her. But now, as she hastily thought over the good qualities of each, she clapped her hands and cried, “That will I, for you are just suited for each other. .We will go to-morrow night.” And again, and again Frank went, and, after the first two in terviews, always without Kate. He was noble hearted, intellectual, graceful, and refined ; and Mary Could not long resist the devoted suit he paid to her. Indeed 1 , after some maidenly struggles with her heart, “she yielded herself to loving him with all the depth of her pure, yet ardent nature. Frank \ya§ too sensible to regard the mere ac cessories of fortune. Perhaps"; indeed, he loved Mary the better for her poverty. He could never have entertained an affection for her, if she had not been amiable and intelligent; nor, perhaps, even if her parents had been unworthy; but all things else he considered comparatively indifferent. Himself accustdtned, from his earliest years, to fashionable society, he knew its exact value ; and he was accustomed to say that “ worth, not wealth was what he sought in a wife.” Mary, on her part, loved Frank, for his frank ness, intelligence and generous qualities, and not for his fortune. “ I would rather remain - single, she said, “than marry for wealth.” About three months after the day on which our story opens, Kate VilJiers called on her old school mate, Emma. “ Who do you think is going to be married?” she said. “\ ou give it up ? Well, Frank Hastings and Mary Murray.” “What!” exclaimed Emma, pale with mortifi cation, for she had herself assidously sought Frank's notice, “ not Frank Hastings and that “thread and needle woman’s' daughter?” “Yes! and a happy couple they will make, — Mary will now have the wealth she is so well fit ted to adorn.” “I shan’t visit her,” said Emma, pettishly.— “ She’s a nobody. If Mr. Hastings chooses to dis grace himself, let him ; but he'll find out the ‘old families 1 won’t recognize his acquaintance.” “Pshaw!” said Kate contemptuously. “You know better. Mr. Hastings is, himself, a member of one of the few ‘old families’ we have; and being such, is above all the ridiculous notions of the mere -parvenue' It happens, too, that Mary has 1 good blood,’ as you would -call it. She is the grand daughter of a signer of the Declaration, an Amer ican patent of nobility, I- take it, if we have any at all.” “ Then it is on that account he marries her,” was the splenetic reply. “No he never knew it till he asked her to have him. Her virtues and accomplishmens won his heart, and they alone.” In due time Frank and Mary were married, Kate being led to the altar on the same day. Emma has learnt a lesson, and, since then, inquires less superciliously about a new acquaintance.

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1850. Minnesota. The Harrisburg Telegraph publishes the follow ing extract from a private letter from Governor Ramsey, dated St. Paul, April 28: The navigation of the Mississippi, the great ar tery of our Territory, up this point, (St. Paul, the Capital,) has opened this Spring later than usual. The ordinary period, for a.series of years, for the arrival of the first boat from below, has never been later than the first week in April; and occasionally as early as the third, or the last week in March. It would be open earlier still, were it not that the great and beautiful widening of the Mississippi, known as Lake Pepin, some 60 miles below us, generally remains filled with unbroken ice for ten days or two weeks longer than does the river, either above or below it. This is attributable to the fact, that there is scarcely any current in the lake, which is quite deep, and wholly without islands , (an uncommon thing for the Upper Missis sippi, which otherwise, above the Missouri, might truthfully be termed the River of the Thousand Islands) —and for these reasons, the ice freezes thicker in Winter, and has less impetus to move it off in the Spring, than that, formed in the stronger current and narrower channel of the river proper. Finally, however, a considerable freshet caused by the melting of the unusually 'heavy snows of last Winter in the upper country, has opened the lake; and on the 19th inst. the two first steamboats of the season arrived at St. Paul, loaded almost to the guards with freight, and landing on our shores nearly one thousand passengers! • You may imagine we had quite an interesting time of it. Our popu lation rushed to the landing, and received the new comers with no little nor quiet enthusiasm. • * * * • Besides the Nominee, (a new and fast boat that makes the up trip of 36U miles to St. Paul from Galena, in 35'hours, and the down trip in 24) we have the two Franklins, Nos. 1 and 2, the Highland Mary, the Yankee, Lamartine, and doubtless will have other boats iq the trade, giving us on an aver age a daily arrival at St. Paul. This alone is strong evidence of the progress of our Territory ; for these boats are in the trade to make money, and it is no contemptible country that furnishes business for some half dozen or more steamboats. Yourself, or any other person travelling to this region the ensuing Summer, and taking the north ern route, should so time their starting, as to arrive at Galena on either Monday or Tuesday mornings At 12 o'clock on those days, regular boats invariably leave for St. Paul, and thus, with a little attention at the start, there will be no likelihood of delay — though, to ,*be sure, the multiplicity of boats now engaged in the trade, render it probable that some boat would be found any day at Galena, bound for Minnesota. I have no doubt the trip can be made this Summer to St. Paul in eight or nine days from Philadelphia or New York, by the northern route. Our people are all in high 6phito at the prospects opening for Minnesota ; and I think it questionable whether the most of them would not refuse to ex change with California, as to the enduring pros perity of the future, could space even be annihilated and the two Territories placed side by side. Pleasant Surprise. A young man of twenty, a student in a universi ty, took a walk one day with a professor, who was commonly called the students’ friend, such was his kindness to the young men whom it was his office to instruct. While they were now walking together, and the professor was seeking to lead the conversation to grave subjects, they saw a coat and a pair of old shoes lying in the path, which they supposed be longed to a poor man who was at work in a field close by, and had nearly finished his day's work. The young student turned to the professor saying: “Let us play the man a trick; we will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and watch to see his perplexity when he cannot find them.” “My dear friend,” answered the professor, “we must never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and you may give your self a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a dollar in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves,” The student did so, and then placed himself with the professor behind the bushes hard by, through which they could easily see the laborer, and see whatever wonder or joy he might express. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path, where he had left his coat and shoes. While he put on the coat he slip ped one foot into one of his shoes; but feeling some thing hard, he stooped down and found the dollar. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his coun tenance; he gazed upon the dollar, turned it round and looked again and again; then he looked around on all sides, but could see no one. He then put the money in his pocket and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but how great was his astonishment to find the other dollar! His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and ut tered aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helplesss, and his chil dren without bread, whom this timely bounty from some unknown hand would save from perishing. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick ?” “Oh, dearest sir, answered the youth, “you have taught me a lesson now that I will never forget.— I feel now the truth of the words which I never be fore understood—“lt is better to give than to re ceive.” We should never approach the poor but with the wish to do them good. Cuvrch and State. —There is not much reason to fear a too intimate alliance between Church and State in this country under any circumstances:but with a view of keeping them at a perfectly safe po sition with respect to each other,* some genius in Ohio has suggested in a paroxism of zeal, the fol lowing sentiment for the revised constitution of that State:— “No professor of religion shall hold any office except in the church.” This is decidedly progressive, and the author of such a proposition is entitled to some consideration, whatever may be the fate of his constitutional sug gestion. We may lairly conclude that he has not thought proper to bestow his patronage upon religion. To him, therefore, “ the church”—what church he does not tell us—is a sort of terra incognita, and he has probably judged her respectability by that of some of the “professors” against whom he’would enforce a constitutional objection. If so, we don't know but he has some plausibility lor the proposi tion he advances. But the practical effect of his notion would be to get this very class of professors out of the church into the State we apprehended in this he would overreach himself. Professors ol religion particularly hungry after office, would in a constitutional emergency, we suspect, be sadly tempted to give up the church for State; for the at tractive qualities of the loaves and fishes are as great in the present century as they were 1800 years ago. It is only necessary to pnt them ex clusively on the side of either church or State, to determine to a considerable extent the affections and zeal-of patriotic profession on the one hand, or reiigioui profession on the other. The church, in the best sense of the term, we suppose, would gain a loss by such a constitutional provision. Sincere profession would 1 be relieved of a pretty extensive assortment of stimulated piety, drawn off by the attractive influence of the State, so that the church would not in the end probably have much cause to complain of. But it happens in this case, that the rule wont work both ways, the church not being vested with the power to ex clude, upon constitutional provision, every officer ol the State. We suppose, therefore, that Ohio will not be in a hurry to divest the church altogether of her civil rights in the State, until it can be done on impartial grounds. —Baltimore Sun. Delaware Powder. —The most extensive pow der mills in the world, are those on the Brandywine, in that State; and that the best powder made is at these mills. They • manufactured the last year 2,500,000 pounds, which would, allowing a ton for a load, make 1250 wagon loads, and require 2500 horses to draw them. These, on the road, would make a train seven miles long, -and at an average price of 12£ cents per pound, would amount to the large sum of $312,500. VALUABLE REAL ESTATE AT PUBLIC SALE.
