Since spring has strewn Her floral gems o’er hill and glade, My soul in silent dreams hath flown To those old haunts of light and shade, Where, with a gentle friend, the hours Swept by awakening fair young-flowers. There pause the birds for welcome rest, And from their flowing urns of song Fill the hushed'air the charmed breast, While over and around them throng Soft incense.laden airs, that bless i All life with angel tenderness. Gather me flowers, and each shall be Love’s messenger,,almost divine, With whispered tales of stream and tree And voice of bird attuned with thine. Spring too is here—but not the flowers That smile is sunlight, weep in showers. marriage without Courtship. " A ROMANCE WITHOUT FICTION. Wondrous are the ways of Providence, and sin „ gular are the doings of man, especially in these lat ter days of human progress. The gigantic strides of science, levelling in its track prejudice and igno ranee, making “ancient goods uncouth," has pre pared the human mind .to combat the expression of the wise man, that there is “nothing new’ under the sun.” Nothing new, forsooth! Well, if there is really nothing new, old customs sometimes ap pear before us clothed in a strange garb—a very new coat of many colors. “It is not meet that man should be alone"—from the very foundation of the world, woman was placed in it to love, cher . ish and comlort man. In pursuance of this divine gift of God, the custom of courtship and marriage was introduced, and at the present day wisdom sanctions the former while law binds the latter.— Courtship and marriage in all civilized countries, present the phase in the abstract, but the success ful issue of a matrimonial negotiation we are about to chronicle, possesses a spice of romance altogeth er out of the ordinary manner of every day life, having gleaned the facts from'authentic and reliable' sources. * About three years ago, the Rev. R. S. M’Clay, of Concord, Franklin county, Pa, (late of Gettysburg,) received a call on the Board of Foreign Missions connected with the Methodist Episcopal, Church, to visit China and preach the Gospel to the benight ed Celestials of the central flowery land. M'Clav was young, ardent and enthusiastic, and most wii lingly embraced the high and holy duty assigned him. ■ In due time he arrived in Chinn, and was sta tioned at Fau Chun, seven hundred miles in the in terior from Hong Kong. Thero he studied the native language, and commenced his labor of love among the Celestials, with the most flattering suc cess. Still there was something wanting—a void in the heart to be'fdled—he sighed for that best solace to man, either in weal or woe—a wife. — How to get one, was an intricate question to solve. There were no American ladies there from whom he could make a choice, and as for a Chinese wife, the laws of the lajid forbade it, neither did his in clination desire it. What then was to be done ‘— A fertile imagination can accomplish wonders—a firm determination can surmount 'difficulties that would “o'ertop old Pelion.” He wrote to the Board of Missions on the subject—he wrote in pathetic— we might perhaps say.poetic—strains, of his lone ly condition for the want of one on whom he could bestow his affections, and who would be the part ner of his joys and sorrows through life, and ended by asking that the Board send him a young lady who would be willing to become his wife—agree ably to his directions, which he sent in the form of a blank declaration to- be filled up by the lady accepting the proposision. This was a novel proposition, but the Board was of opinion that it was a just one, and proceeded with due diligence to search for the object desired, and strange to say, success “crowned their effort. Sometime previous to the receipt of Mr. M’Clay’s letter, a young lady, Miss Henrietta Sperry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., made application to the Board to be sent as a Missionary to China, but was refused on account of being unmarried. ' To her the application of Mr. M ; Clay was shown: she at once tilled up the blank application, and a correspondence ensued which ended in her leaving New York m company with a number of other Missionaries, on the 12th of March last, in the ship , Tartar, for Hong Kong, where she will be met by Mr. M Clay, and the nuptial ceremony will be sol emnized. The lady’s personal attractions have been descri bed us, by one who had the pleasure of seeing her previous to taking sail on her mission of love.— She is described as being beautiful and fascinating in her appearance, and possessed of that charm of loveliness which should adorn every female char acter—a well cultivated mind stored with the rich est gifts of knowledge from the fountain of educa tion, and a moral refinement which will bear with it the jewel of a bright inheritance beyond the con fines of time*. She is now on the dark blue sea where “the hol iow oak” her home must be for at least half a year. Who so dead to all feeling as not to admire such heroism?—a young and lovely girl, forsaking home, friends, and all the dearest ties of earth to travel thousands of miles over the stormy billows, to dwell perhaps forever among Heathens, for the double purpose of affording consolation to a servant of God, and aid in spreading the light among those who walk in darkness, is at once a moral and sub lime undertaking, requiring a? degree of devoted ness and firmness that ftill compare favorably with the self denial of the Spartan of old. Heaven send propitious gales to waft .the Tartar to her destination. Who can doubt but that a union form ed under, such circumstances must be a hannv one ?— Blair Whig. i 1 3 Singular Coincidence.— Mr. Phineas Solomon, a citizen of Columbia, S. C.,-died a few days since Alabama. The South Carolinian mentions the* •following singular coincidence in the reception of the news of his death: Whilst the operator in the Telegraph Office, at Lolumbia, was engaged at the northern end ol the line, recording the death of Col. Elmore, the oper ator at the southern wires was receiving the mes sage announcing the death of Mr. Soldmon. Both gentlemen, adds the the Carolinian, were Darties to a cm.se Which wa 3 to have come up.fi* argument in the Court of Appeals, on the very morning upon which the death of both were announced. V Tan Cheap Postaoe Biel.— lt is stated that the Chairman of the House Committee on the P. Office, Mr. Potter, of Ohio, has nearly perfected the new postage bill.

SAMPSON’S HOUSE j OR THE MISTAKE OF A TRAVELLER. ‘ Once upon a time,’ a queer old fellow named Smith started from a Southern city upon a pedes trian excursion of about one hundred miles. He was not such a very old fellow, either; he was about forty years older than when he was born.— This Mr. Smith, (he was not connected with the John Smith family in the most remote degree,) was a man of many peculiarities. If absolute stu- pidity did not lorm a prominent trait in his ohar acter, it was a quality which very much resembled stupi(lity } and might easily be mistaken for it, by at least one half the world.—-He had manifested a singular abstraction, generally described as absence of mind, apd would frequently roam about the streets ,an entire day without recognizing one of his numerous friends—apparently without being aware of the nature of his movements. This was Mr. Smith. We were saying that Mr. Smith started upon a journey on the ‘ ten toed machine’ spoken of in John Bull. After travelling a few miles our pedes trian felt somewhat thirsty, and called at a small establishment which lookfofcas though it was about half a tavern, for a drinkf^ A good natured young fellow waited upon him —brought him brandy and Water—and in addition, furnished him with a bit of bread and cheese. this was decidedly welcome and refreshing. When Mr. Smith had quencheffhis thirst and satisfied the slight craving of appetite, he re commenced his travels, and, as he left the city tolerably early in the morning, he thought he might walk two or three hours longer, before he stopped for dinner. His road seemed to be very level, and was skirt ed on one side by an uncommonly high fence. On he footed’it for about three hours longer, until a .glance at the position of the sun satisfied him he had better procure his noon day meal. He called at a small dwelling by the road side, and the fol lowing dialogue ensued between him and a boy standing in the door-way: * Who lives here, my son ?’ ‘ Mr. Sampson, sir.’ ‘Do -you keep a tavern?’ * Why, sorter, and sorter not—we accommodate people sometimes.’ ‘ Can I get dinner here?’. ‘ Yes, sir—walk in.’ Our traveller walked in, and in the course of half an hour a nice comfortable- dinner, smoking hot, was set before him. He ate, drank, paid his moderate bill, put on his hat, took his walking stick and proceeded upon his journey. Before he renewed his labors, however, he took the precaution to fill his pipe, carefully and then lit it. Fresh’and vigorous as ever, he then pushed ahead; but as the sun crept down the horizon, Mr. Smith began to feel some degree of weariness stealing over him; still he persevered until it was quite dark. Finding himself opposite to a small house by the road side, he enquired of the youth seated upon the threshhold : ‘ Who lives here, my son?’ ‘ Mr. Sampson, sir.’ ‘ Can I get supper and lodging here to-night, by paying for it?’ Certainly, sir—walk in.’ Mr. Smith crossed the threshold, laid aside his hat and cane, drank a cup of tea, and ate two or three slices of toast, read four chapters in ‘ Fox’s Book of Martyrs,’ which he found upon the man tlepiece, and went to bed. s When he awoke in the morning, the sun was just showing its broad red disc above the tree tops. found the breakfast upon the table waiting for him. He finished the morning meal, and commenced his travels the sec ond day. One thing simply attracted his attention •—the road was exceedingly uniform—but the fact excited no surprise. At noon he called at a snug little house, and asked the lad who was gazing out ol a window: ‘Who lives here, my son V 1 Mr. Sampson, air.* Our traveller paused a moment, reflected, and seemed to bo conning over some name or circum stance in his mind—at last he said ‘ Are there many of the' name ol Sampson on this road, my son '* ' A good many,* said the boy. ‘ l thought so. Can you give me dinner here, my son /’ ‘ Certainly, sir—walk in.* Mr.„Smith stepped in, swallowed his dinner, and once more took the road. When night came on, he of course.stopped at the first house on his way. A youth sat upon a wheelbarrow at the door, whittling. ‘ Who lives here, my son ‘ Mr. Sampson, sir.’ ‘.Mr. Sampson! by Jupiter! I should think they were all Sampsons on this road. I got dinner at Mr. Sampson's yesterday, slept at another Mr. Sampson's last night, and here I am at Mr. Samp son s again to-night. Besides the houses 1 have seen upon this road ail look alike—it’s very queer.' ‘Very queer,’ replied the boy with a leer which seemed to say, ‘you cant fool me old fellow.’ ‘Can you give me supper and lodging?' said the traveller. 1 Certainly—walk in.' ‘I m darned if this isn't a queer country,' -says the old man as he went to bed; ‘ this looks exact ly like the room I slept in last night*; but I suppose it is all right.' It was full two o’clock the next day, when alter travelling briskly at least six hours, Mr. Smith stopped at a comfortable small dwelling with the intention of securing his dinner. A boy stood in the door. * How d’ye do ?’ said the boy. ‘ Nicely, my son. Who lives here V ‘Mr. Sampson. I’ve told you that hall a dozen times already.’ ‘ The d—l you have. I hav'nt been here before have I ?’ ‘ I reckon you hsve —but ain't you travelling on a bet V b d'? ,aVe^ ° n a k 6 *" n °—P u * that in your Why you ve been walking round the race course here for tico days and a half and I did’nt suppose you were doing it for fun.’ For the first time, now, Mr. Smith took a sur* V ®Y things, and to his astonishment discovered that the boy had-been telling the truth. He drew his hat over his forehead and started for home determined never to enter upon a pedestrian excur sion again. Singular Suicide. James Kenyan committed suicide in the town of Stark, in this county, on the night of the 25th ult., under the following singular circumstances.— Some time during the week, Rev. Jesse Robinson went to get him to work. He promised him that he would work for him on Monday, the 2’ftk, if he was alive, and if he was not alive he (the clergyman) should preach his funeral sermon at 11 o dock precisely of that day. Kenyan went to see JohnOßryan and engaged him to dig his grave, and gave him particular directions how to dig it.— He then engaged pall bearers, and went to see the leader of the choir, and engaged him to be present on the occasion. He also made a bet of fifty cents with a man by the name of Mount, that he would be a dead man before Monday Morning; and if he won the bet agreed with Mount, that he should pay the fifty cents to O’Bryan for digging the grave.— Wunng the whole of this time there was nothin* very unusual in his appearance, and those with whom he conversed thought he was jesting. On Sunday morning the 25th, he was found drowned in Otsquago Creek, in Southville, where the water was very shallow, with his face in the water, and his feet and legs out of water on the shore His funeral sermon was preached, according to his en gagement with the clergyman, at 11 o'clock , on Monday, the 27th ult. Kenyan was an Irishman, about 35 years old.— »e was connected, by marriage, with a highly re ntable family in the town in which he lived.— He Wt S an industrious and honest man.

WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.” Buchanan CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1850. A. MELTING STORY. One winter evening a country storekeeper in the Green Mountain State was about closing his door for the night, and while standing in the snow out* side putting up the window shutters, saw through the glass a lounging, worthless fellow within, grab a pound of fresh butter from the shelf and conceal it in his hat. The act was no sooner detected than the revenge was hit upon, and a very few minutes found the Green Mountain storekeeper at once indulging his appetite for fun to the fullest extent, and paying off the thief with a factious sort of torture, for which he would have gained a premium from the old in quisition. “Isay, Seth!” said the storekeeper, coming in and closing the door after him, slapping his hand over his shoulders, and stamping the snow off his feet. Seth had his hand upon the door, and his hat upon his head, and the roll of butter in his hat, anxious to make his exit as soon as possible. “ I say, Seth, sit down; I reckon now on such an eternal night as this, a little somethin’ warm wouldn’t hurt a fellow.” Seth felt very uncertain; he had the butter and was exceedingly anxious to get off) but the temp tation of something warm sadly, interfered with his resolution to go. This hesitation however, was soon settled by the right owner of the butter taking Seth by the shoulder and planting him in a seat close to the stove, where he was in such a manner' cornered in by the boxes and barrels, that while the grocer stood before him there was no possibility of getting out, and right in this very place sure enough the storekeeper sat down. * “ Seth, we’ll have a little warm Santa Cruz,” said the grocer as he opened the stove door, and stuffed in as many sticks as the place would admit; “without it you’d freeze going home such a night as this.” : Seth already felt the butter settling closer to his hair, and he jumped up declaring he must go. “Not till you have had something warm, Seth; come, I’ve got a story to tell you too; sit down, now, and Seth was again pushed into his seat by his cunning tormentor. “Oh ! it's tu darned hot here,” said the petty thief attempting to rise. “ Sit down—don’t be in such a plaguy hurry,” retorted the grocer, pushing him back in his chair. But I’ve got the cows to'fodder, and the wood to split, I must be going,” said the persecuted chap. “ But you must npt tear yourself away, Seth, in this manner. Sit down, let the cows take care of themselves, and keep yourself cool; you appear to be a little fidgety,” said the roguish grocer with a wicked leer. The next thing was the production of two smo king glasses of hot rum toddy, the very sight ol which, in Seth’s present situation, would have made the hair stand erect upon his head, had it not been well oiled and kept down by the butter. “Seth, I'll give you a toast, now, and you can butter it yourself,” said the grocer, with an air of such consummate simplicity, that poor Seth believed himseff unsuspected. “ Seth, here’s—here’s a Christ mas goose, well roasted, eh ? I tell you it’s the greatest eating in creation. And Seth don’t you never use hog's Jat, or common cooking butter to baiste it with—come take your butter—l mean Seth, take your toddy.” Poor Seth now began to smoke, as well as melt, and his mouth was hermetically sealed up, as tho’ he had been born dumb. Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under his hat, and his handkerchief was already soaked with the greasy overflow. Talking away, as if nothing was the matter, the grocer kept stuffing the wood into the stove, while poor Seth sat bolt upright, with his back against the counter, and his knees almost touching the red furnace before. “ Plaguey cold night this said the grocer. “Why Seth, you seem to perspire as if you were warm! Why don’t you take your hat off! Hew let me put your hut awoy l ” * No! 1 exclaimed poor Seth at last, with a spas modic effort to get his tongue loose, clapping both hands upon his hat. “No, I must go; lot me out; I ain’t well; let mo go.” A greasy cataract was now pouring down the poor man’s face and heck and soaking into his very boots, so that he was literally in a bath of oil. *• Well good night, Seth,” said the humorous Ver monter, “if you yrill go ?” and adding, as he darted out of the door, “1 say, Seth, I reckon the fun I’ve had out of you is worth a ninepence, so I shan’t charge you for that pound ol butter in your hat.” Farmers’ Weather-Quieter. Comprising Genera! Indications und Local Predic tions respecting the Changes of Weather, gathered during Travels in Europe and America. BT A RURALIBT. t( A rainbow in the morning, Is the Shepherd’s warning; But a rainbow at night, Is the Shepherd’s delight.” A rainbow in fair weather denotes foul—if foul, lair weather will follow. A double rainbow indi cates much rain. A predominance of the purple color of the rain bow, snows, wind and rain—dark red, tempest light red, wind—yellow, dry weather— green, rain —blue denotes that the air is clearing. If the Aurora Borealis appear after several warm days, it is generally succeeded by a cloudiness of the air. If the Aurora Borealis has been consider able, either an increased degree of cold is immedi ately produced, or bodies of clouds are immediately formed. If in a very wet season the sky is tinged with a sea-green color, near the bottom, where it ought to be blue, it shows that rain will speedily follow, and increase: when it is of a deep dead blue, it is over charged with vapors, and the weather will be showery. When the sun appears white at the setting, or goes down into a bank of clouds, which lie in’the horizon, they indicate the approach or continuance of bad weather. When it rains with an east wind, it will proba bly continue twenty-four hours. The heaviest rains, when of long continuance, generally begin with the wind blowing easterly,’ which gradually veers round to the south—and the rains do not cease until the wind has got to the west, or a little north-west. While rain is falling, if any small space of the sky is visible,.it is almost a certain sign that the rain will speedily cease. If the clouds, that move with the wind become stationary when they arrive at that part of the ho rizon which is opposite to the wind and appear to accumulate, they announce a speedy fall of rain. A frequent change of wind with an agitation of the clouds, denotes a sudden storm. A fresh breeze generally springs up before sun set particularly in the summer. The weather usually clears up at noon—but if it rains at midnight, it seldom clears up till sunset. The winds which begin to blow in the day time are much stronger, and endure longer than those which' begin to blow only in the night. A hollow or whistling wind denotes rain. It.the wind follow the'course of the sun, fair weather will follow. Weather, either good or bad, which takes place in the night time, is not generally of fong duration —and for the most part, wind is more uncommon in the night than in the day time. Fine weather m the night with scattered clouds does not last. Violent winds prevail more in the vicinity of mountains than in open plains. A Venitian author says: “A sudden storm from the north does not last three days.” If it thunders in December, moderate and fine weather may be expected. If it thunders, at intervals, in the Spring-time, before the trees have acquired leaves, cold weather is still to be expected. Thunder in the morning denotes wind at noon in evening rain and tempest. If in summer there be no thunder, the ensuing Fall and Winter will be sickly. Ip*A young fop ordering a seal, expressed his desire to have something.engraved upon it to denote what he was. “ You cannot have anything better,” observed the jeweller, “than a cypher!” ILr There is a better way of telling when the sun rises than by consulting an almanac.

First Door sooth of John Michael’s, (“Grapes,”) Hotel, North Queen street. [june-11-20-3m All Mankind Desire to be Free! EREE TRADE AND TAILORS’ kIGHTS ! A few short years ago, the person who wished to make a genteel appearance, was restrained from the want of means, arising from the fact that the customer tailor charged four prices for his clothing. It was at this time the Cheap Cash Clothing Store started in order to accommodate the public .with as good clothing as the customer tailor made, at almost one-haßi.the price. This effort .was appreciated by the public, and the great encouragement received., induced the proprietor to be first in the field adopt the principle of “large sales and small profits,” and to extend his business beyond a paral lel in the history of trade. The plan adopted was to give as good Clothing as could be made in any establishment at one-half the usual price. Success crowned this effort also. .Then, with extended means, he. undertook a further reduction, by buying his materials from first hands, and was satisfied with a very small profit. The public fully appre ciated this effort, and came in crowds to purchase clothing of a superior Order, brought within the reach of all by such very reasonable prices. With these facilities, it soon became evident that the cheap cash clothing room became too small to ac commodate his greatly increased number of custo mers. In fact, the whole public opened their eyes with astonishment to see the rise and progress of this effort for their accommodation, and in the tak ing of the spacious building, which has opened out a mighty Hall, in their behalf, where the principle first adopted by this house of “quick sales and small profits,” is carried out to its utmost extent.
