The Bridal Day.
She leans beside her mirror, in her old accustomed
place,
Yet something unfamiliar is on her lonely face;
She wears a wreath, a snow white wreath, which
yet she never wore ;
It gives a paleness to the cheek unkriown to it be
fore.
The maiden goeth to the grove, and ]if the flowers
beneath,
She takes the lily or the rose, to bind} her midnight
wreath ;
But of one plant she gathers not, though fair its
blossoms be;
Only the Wide haith leave to wear IMds from the
orange tree.
" (lace, only once, that wreath is worn,—once only
may she wear
The pale white wreath of orange flowers, within
her shining hair;
They wear, upon their soft wan blopm, the shade
of coming years ;
The spiritual presence is around ot Iliuman hopes
and fears ;
Ay, let her soft and thoughtful eyes upon 'her mir
ror dwell,
For in that long and tender look, site taketh her
farewell
Oran her youth's unconsciousness, °flail her lighter
cares,
And for a deeper, sadder life—a woman's lot pre
]
pares.
She leaves her old familiar place, the hearts that
were her own;
The love to which she trusts herself) is yet a thing
• unknown;
'f hough at one name her cheek turned red, though
sweet it be to hear,
Yet for that name she must, resign,: ye Bach that
has been dear.
It is an anxious happiness,—it is a f;.arful thing,
When first the maiden's small whit hand puts on
the golden ring ,
She passath from her father's unto another's care,
And who may say what troubled hours, what sor
row wait her there?
Ah ! Love and lire are mysteries, both blessing and
both blest;
And yet how much they teach the heart or trial
and unrest;
!tweet maiden, while these troubled thoughtiymid
bridal fancies sweep,
Well mayst thou pensive watch thy glass, and turn
aside to weep.
The Three Melon Seeds.
OR, THE DUELIST AND THE JOKERS.
"A Sexton of the Old School contributes the
following to the Boston Tianso ipt
Three young gentlemen, who had finished the
most substantial part of their repast, were linger
ing over their fruit and wine, at an eating house in
London, when.a man of middle age and middle stat
ure entered the public room where they were sit
'ring, seated himself at one end of aismall unoccu
pied table, and calling the waiter, ordered a simple
mutton chop and a glass of ale. His appearance,
at first vibe, was not likely to arrest the attention
of any one, His hair was getting7o be thin and
grey; the expression of his countenance was sedate
with a slight touch, perhaps, of tr4lancholy ; and
lie wore a gray surtout, with a Standing cullar,
which, manifestly, had seen service, it the wearer
,had not—just such a thing as an oiticer would be
stow 011 his serving . man. Lie might be taken,
'plausibly enough, for a country magistrate, or an
attorney of limited practice, ur schoolmaster.
He continued to masticate his Chop and sip his
ale in silence, without lifting his eyles from the ta
ble, until a melon seed, sportively{ snapped from
between the thumb and linger of one of the gen
tlemen at the opposite table, struck him upon the
right ear. His ryes were instantly upon the ag
gressor; and his ready intelligence! gathered from
the illy suppressed merriment of the party, that
this petty impertinence was intended.
The stranger stooped and picked up the melon
seed, and a scarcely perceptible smile passed over
his features, as he carefully wrapped up the seed
in a piece of paper, and placed it In his pocket.—
, This singular procedure, with the l ir preconceived
impressions of their customer, somewhat elevated
as they were by the wine they had partaken, cap
sized their gravity entirely, and a burst of irresist
able laughter proceeded from the
Unmoved by this rudeness, the stranger continu
ed to finish his frugal repast in quiet, until anoth
er melon , seed.from the same han d struck him up
on the right elbow. This also, to the infinite
amusement of the other party, he irked from the
floor, and carefully deposited with the first.
Amidst shouts of laughter the ihird melon seed
was soon alter discharged, which hit him upon
the left breast. This, also,,he very deliberately
took from the floor, and deposited with .the other
two.
As lie rose and was paying I'M - his repast, the
gaiety of these sporting gentlemen became slightly
subdued. It was not easy to account for this.—
Lavater . would nut have been able to detect the
slightest evidence of irritation or:resentment upon
the features of the stranger. He; seemed a little
taller, to be sure, and the carriage of his head
'right have appeared to them rather erect. He
walked to the table at which theylwere sitting, and
with that air of dignified calmiess which is a
i
thousand times more terrible dr ii wrath, drew a
card from his pocket, and present d it with perfect
civility to the offender, who coup do no less than
offer his own in return. When he stranger un-
closed his surtout, to take the car I from his pack
et, they hail a glance at the undris.s coat of a mil
itary man. The card disclosed This rank, and a
brief inquiry at the bar was sufficient for the rest.
He was a Captain, whom ill health and long ser
vice had entitled to half pay. I,n earlier life he
had been in several affairs of bettor, and in the di.
alect of the !alley was a dead shilt.
The next morning a note arrk i ed at the aggres
sor's residence, containing a challenge, inlform. and
one only of the melon seeds. The truth then hash.
ed betore the challenged party—it was the challen
ger's intention to make three bites at this cherry,
three separate affairs out of this unwarrantable
frolic. The' challenge was accepted, and the chal
lenged party, in deference to the challenger's repu
ted skill With the pistol, had hal deciiled upon the
small sword; but his friends, whd were on the alert,
soon discovered that the captain, who had risen by
his merit, had, in earlier days of necessity, gained
his bread as an accomplished instructor in the use
of that very weapon.
They met and fired, alternately by lot ; the
young man hail selected this mode, thinking he
might win the first fire—he did H—fired, and missed
his-opponent. The capt`etin leVeled his pistol and
tired—the bail passed through the flap of the right
ear, and grazed the bone; and! as the wounded
young man involuntarily put hiS hand to the place
he remembered that it was on the right ear of his
antagonist that the first melon deed had fallen.—
Here ended the first lesson. A month had passed.
His friends cherished the hope that he would hear
nothing more from the captain, when another note
—a challenge of course—and another of those ac
cursed melons seeds arrived, with the captain's
apology, on the wore of ill health for not sending
it before.
Again they met—fired simultaneously, anil- the
captain, who was unhint,bhatteied the right elbow
of his antagonist—the very po:: upon which he
had been hit by the second me on seed, and here
ended the second lesson. Thee was something
awfully impressive in the tnodns oyez andi, and ex
quisite skill of this antagonist. The thild melon
need was still in his possession:, and the aggressor
had not forgotten that h struck the unollending
gentleman upon the left breagt! A month had
passedanother—and another, hi terrible suspense;
but nothing was heard from captain. Intelli
gence had been received that was confined to his
lodgings by illness. At length the gentleman who
had been his second in the fora er duel, once tnore
presented himself and tendered another note, which,
as the recipient perceived, on taking it, contained
the last of the melon %eeds. The note was sub
scribed in the captain's well known hand, but it
WAS the writing evidently of ohe who wrote defi
cient' mann. There was an unusual solemnity, al
es, in the manner of him wholdelivered it. The
seal was broken, and there Wai the melon seed, in
a blank envelope—'• And what, sir, am I to under
stand by this?" "'You will 'understand air, that
my friend forgives yon—he is dead.”
CANAL COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
From the Annual Report of the Board of
Canal Commissioners, for the year ending No
vember,3oth, we make the following ex
tracts :
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has com
pleted and' in operation G 521 miles of canal and
railroad, independent of feeders not navigable,
as followsl

'lota! miles,
Upon the completion of the North Branch
Canal, from the mouth of the Lackawanna to
the New York State line, ninety-four and one
quarter miles more of navigation will be add
ed to the above.
The Erie extension, consisting of the Beav
er division, the Shenaugo and Conneaut lines,
and the French creek feeder, 163 miles in
length, and the Wiconisco canal, 12 1-4 miles
in length, which was nearly completed, have
been transferred to private companies. The
Franklin line of the French creek division
(completed) extending a distance of 22.1 miles
from the feeder aqueduct to the town of Frank
lin, and the Gettysburg railroad, the Sinne. ,
malioning extension of the West Branch divis
ion, and the Kittanning feeder (unfinished)
Have been abandoned.
Time has shown that this long line of com
munication, running through, and connecting
with. the most fertile parts of the Common
wealth, and opening an out-let to market to
our rich -mineral deposits, is gradually reali
sing the anticipations of its early friends.
At the period when these works were in
course of• construction, the Commissioners and
their officers were necessarily guided more
by the uncertain lights of ' theory, than
by the results of practical observation. The
consequence was, that errors in location and
construction were committed, which have add
ed materially to' the annual cost of repairs.—
Notwithstanding these drawbacks upon the
revenue, and the impediments which they have
thrown in the way of a free and speeny trans
portation, the receipts from the tolls have
been nearly doubled within the last ten years,
as the following table shows
1842 94113.213 69

The exhibit leaves no room to entertain
doubts as to future results. It is true that ri
val routes, competing for the great trade of
the West, are springing up around, us, but it is
nevertheless true, that the receipts from our
public works have never, as compared with
previous periods, been reduced by the charts
of a new - competitor. The experience of the ,
past year fully sustains the truth of this posi
tion. With a railroad running parallel with
our main line for a greater portion of its dis
tance—with a new rival, the New York and
Erie Railroad, using the most energetic efforts
to secure the trade of the West; with the mer
chants of our own commercial emporium en
gaging to pay the cost of transportation upon
their sales until they reached the works of
New York—it might have been supposed that
we would not have been enabled to maintain
the - standard of the receipts for 1850. Yet, up
to the middle of August last, notwithstanding
the detentions caused by the burning of the
railroad bridge over the Conestoga, and by
heavy breaches on the Juniata, the receipts ou
the main line largely exceeded those of the
corresponding period of the previous year.—
This prosperous state of trade was succeeded
by the extremely low waters on the Western
Division of the Canal, and in the Ohio river,
which produced a suspension of through trans
portation for about three weeks, and resulted
in a loss of tolls of not less than $lOO,OOO. If
these casualties had not occurred, the receipts
from the main line would have exceeded those
of 1850' at leastslso,ooo. It is evident, there
fore, that we can maintain the character of our
through line of improvements between the
East and the IVest, and continue to increase
the revenues therefrom, despite of all opposi
tion. All that is necessary to accomplish an
object so desirable, is to complete the improve
ments of the line now in progress. • The im
proveMent of the Philadelphia and Columbia
railroad, the avoidance of the inclined planes
on the Allegheny Portage railroad, and the
completion of the Western Reservoir, will in
addition to our natural advantages, place our
main line 'in a position to command a share of
trade commensurate to their capacity, and to
the investments which have been made in their
construction.
The gross receipts on the several lines of ca
nal and railroad for the fiscal year ending No
vember 30, 1851, amounted to -$1,793,6274,82,
being an increase over 1850 of $25,417 30.
The expenditures for the same period amount
ed to $1,054 393 99.
Included in the expenditures are the fdllow
ing :
For repairs of breaches. .3 -
Purchase of new locomotiies.
Mniutaiuing ferry at Duncan's It:teed. - 10.000 00
Rebnikiing . weigh Inel; et 13 . 000 00
The rebuilding of the Conestoga bridge, $17,-
854 50.; the rebuilding of the Clark's ferry
bridge, $21,922 30 ; the rebuilding of the Sha
mokin' Shute, $4 678 50; the extraordinary
repairs to the planes on the Allegheny Portage
Railrolul, per act . of 1860, $15,420 06; the
building of an addition to the wharf at Bris
tol, $1,500; the repair of, road and farm bridg
es, $25,000; and new depot ht Parkeshurg,
$lO,OOO —not being fairly chargeable to the
repair account of the year, are not included in
the statement of expenditures.
The Board having now some check upon the
price of freights, determined, at the commence•
ment of last year, to make a material reduction
in the rates of toll. The result of the poli
cy met their most sanguine expectations. Un
til the occurrence of the disasters before men
tioned, the increase of tenage produced a re
ceipt of tolls largely exceeding those under
higher rates.
The following statement exhibits an abstract
of the receipts and expenditures from the Ist
of December, 1850, to the 30th of November,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Parts, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de•
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
TAKE PAR'I ICU LAR NOTICE.
Dr. ). addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
~ hat secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either business
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy (+-
feels produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limits, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal.
Filiation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous It rim-
Wily, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
Central Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c.
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: loss of Memory, Contusion
of. Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of }'sreho•
ding, Aversion of Society, Sell Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro
duced• _ _
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause or edurce of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas I how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System. Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects. such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, often
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of u,Fe to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna•
Went to society.
\VEANNESS OF THE ORGANS

Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those lel rifle
Maladies which result from indiscretion. Suili
persona, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
shoulo reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
ilife becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes I
shadowed with detipair, and filled with the melon
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighteirwith our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but ripply immediately.

JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his bon-'
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his

within the last ten years, and the numerous im•

fr HE subscriber respectfully informs the public
1 that he has lately completed a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use. It is made en
tirely of Iron, both Frame and Gearing. The Jour
nals are Cast-Steel—its weight is 600 lbs. On trial
it has proved itself capable of performing from 50
to 100 per cent. more work than other Powers with
the same labor of the team. It is warranted to
hold 8 horses.
I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning from SOO to 500 bushels of wheat per
day, with from 6 to 8 Horses, and an equal number!
of: hands. 4 horses can thresh with it from 100 to
200 bushels per day of wheat, and 400 to 500 of
oats. It ie very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own in'
company; it is more convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine standa on the wag
.on while threshing—the Power is• loaded on the
same wagon f in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it; it will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its extra cost. It will thresh
in the field for by aetack as conveniently as in a barn.
The cylinder and concave can readily be adjusted
sons to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. It is free from the complication and liability
to get out of order of other machines of the kind,
and of less cost—price $lOO,OO.
