The Music Grinders. BY OLIVER WENDELL IiOLIIES There are three ways in which to take One's moneypom his purse, And very hard it is to tell Which of the three is worse; But all of them are bad enough To make a body curse. You're riding out some pleasant day, And counting up your gains; A fellow jumps from out a bush And takes your horse's reins, Another hints some words about A bullet in your brains. It's hard to meet such pressing friends In such a lonely spot; It's very hard to lose your cash, But harder to be shot; And so you take your wallet out, Though you would rather not. Perbeps you're going out to dine— Some filthy creature begs You'll hear about the cannon ball That carried off his pegs, And says it is a dreadful thing For men to lose their legs. He tells you of his starving wife, His children to be fed, Poor little lovely innocents, All clamorous for bread— And so you kindly help to put . A bachelor to bed. You're sitting on your window-seat, Beneath a cloudless moon ; You hear a sound, that seems to wear The semblance of a tune, As if a broken fife should strive • To drown a cracked bassoon. And nearer, nearer still, the tide Or music seems to come, There's scitnething like a human voice, And something like a drum ; You sit in speechless agony, Until your ear is dumb. Poor "Home, sweet home" should Seem to he A very dismal place; Your " Auld acquaintance" all at once Is altered in the face, Their discords sting through Burns and Moore Like hedgehogs dressed in lace. You think they are crusaders, sent - From From some infernal clime, To pluck the eyes or Sentiment, And deck the tail Rhyme, To crack the voice of Melody, And break the legs of Time. But hark! the air again is still, The music all is ground, And silence, like a poultice, comes To heal the blows of sound; It cannot be—it is—it is— A hat is going round ! No! Pay the dentist when he leaven A fracture in your jaw, And pay the owner or the bear That stunned you with his paw, Or buy the lobster, that has had Your knuckles in hie claw. But, if you are a portly man, Put on your fiercest frown, And talk about a constable To turn them out of town ; Then close your sentence with an oath, And shut the ivindow down! And if you are a slender man, Not big enough for that, Or, if you cannot mike speech, Because you are a flat, Go very quietly and drop A button in the hat! The Emigrant. ➢Y MRS. V. O. RAMSAY c 4 The stranger's heart—oh, wound ir-not, A yearning anguish is its • Beneath the shadow of thy tree, The stranger finds no rest in thee." The love of home , and country is alwais stron: but nowhere is it stronger than in the warm heart which beats beneath the coarse gray frock of the Irish peasant. He loves the green land of his birth, cursed as it is with beggary and starvation; and stern is the necessity which drives him forth to seek a home among strangers. I never look upon one of these poor, despised, degraded sons of Erin, but my heart warms towards him, and I think of one whose sad and early fate deserves a brief me- morial. James Moreen was born in the north of Ireland, in one of those miserable districts *here hunger and nakedness seem the only inheritance of the childrenof the soil—where the clergy and the land lord step in to divide what should be the reward of honest industry, and those who have earned their bread with the sweat of their brows are left to perish for want. The home of his childhood was a hovel—a miserable hovel without a floor—the crazy, ruinous walls and the roof of thatch, were frail protection against the winter winds and sum mers rains; and yet, with all its squalled poverty, he loved it, for love was there—a blessinc , often times denied the palace. His mother had been fair in girlhood—very fair—and though the bloom had forsaken her cheek before James could retnem ber her, there was still a melting tenderness in her soft, blue eye, and,a loving smile on her lip, which seemed to illumine the naked, dripping walls, when the wintry storms beat in upon them. And there were days of summer sunshine—blessings indeed to the poor—when the wreathing vine, with a rich canopy of leaves and flowers hid the rich exterior of the cottage, and the wild flowers grew about the door, sweet and beautiful as if planted in a palace garden. Thank Heaven! there are some things which the rich and proud cannot monopo lize. The greatest blessings which God confers on man, he has made universal and unalienable. The poorest wretch who walks the earth may look up to the fair blue sky above him, and to the glorious garniture of suns and systems whiCh adorn it, and drink in the mystery and beauty of the scene as freely as the monarch on his throne. The zephyr will fan his:cheek as softly, and the flowers, earth's fairest and sweetest adorning, will unfold their petals beneath his eye, and pour their fragrance as gently around him. Such was the home in which James Moreen grew up to manhood. Though fortune had been niggardly, nature was prodigal in her gifts to him, and many a purse proud aristocrat would have gladly exchanged his Imld for the manly form and handsome face of the poor peasant. But this fair exterior was not his highest_ endowment. He pos sessed not only the lively and irrepressible wit, which characterizgs his nation, but a noble, gener ous heart. The curse of drunkenness and sensual ity was all around, but fell not on him. The sweet influence of his mother's smile kept him from deg radation. Mary O'Brien was a neighbor's daughter. They had grown up together, and as they met day after day, it was not strange that a mutual affection sprang up between them ; and when Mary's father and mother died, leaving her homeless and friend less,-he offered 'her all he possessed—an honest heart, a strong hand, and a home under the poor roof which sheltered him. Hitherto James had borne his lot with seeming indifference. He bad labored hard all day, and returned at night to a supper of oat-meal gruel, and a 'couch of straw without a murmur. But since his marriage, a change had come over him. A restless desire to better his condition had taken po'svession Of him. Jie had heard of America, that blessed land, where the hand of industry could earn bread enough and to spare. One thought, one purpose occupied him —how he should get there. He revolved it day and night. At evening, when his work was done, he would turn away from the scant), and tasteless meal which , rewarded his _toil, with ill concealed impatience, and sit with ft clouded brow, gazing on the tottering walls, and reeking, mouldering thatch which sheltered him. " What ails ye, James?" his mother would some .times say. "Come, cheer up, darling, don't be so -sober like. God knows we have trouble enough —don't bring a gloomy face to add td it." "God knows we have too much. sorrow and want," he would reply. "He never Made his chil dren who till the soil to starve. Why should you, mother, and Mary, who deserve a palace, dwell under such a roof as this? God hells me to find the land where honest industry is rewarded, and you shall have bread and a better house to shelter Ye." "Don't speak of that land, boy—b blessed land though it be—where the poor never know hunger and nakedness. It is not for the like 'Of us. So be quiet, and don't fret about it, and look for a better land beyond the grave." " lidsh, mother dear, and don't be, discouraging a poor boy with your tears! Pray God to open the way before me, and He who guides the little birds over the wide waters, will be mindful of us in time of need." While James Moreen was vainly devising plans to accomplish the dearest purpose, ,a gentleman came into the neighborhood, and took lodging at the little inn. He was born near there, and though he had no'relatives living in the plac:e, a recollec tion of his early .days had brought :him back to visit the scenes of childhood. He took long walks, conversing freely with the people at their work.— The superior manliness and intelligence of young Moreen soon attracted his attention, and interested his heart. When he learned from the young man his wish to emigrate to America, he offered him a passage in a ship of which he was Master, which would sail in a few days from Dublin to New York. This was good fortune beyond his utmost hopes, and he hastily prepared for his departure. His family must be left behind, not even Mary could go; but then they soon expected to meet again in that land of freedom and plenty beyond the sea.— How sweet was the hope—bow bright the ima ginings of that re-union! But alas, how false ! A terribleAnture was before them, of. which they little dreamed. The morning of separation came, and with ma ny tears, and prayers, and blessings, the young man took his farewell of his humble home; and the dear ones—dearer than life—who were to remain be hind. "God keep you, darling, on the wide waters," subbed his mother; " and bless you in the land to which you go." . And hiS father exclaimed, the tears streaming down his fudowed and weather be"aten face. "God bless and keep you in the hollow of His holy hand, and if we see your face no more—as my heart for bodes we ne'er may—He will give 'you an en trance to his blesged home above!" The young wile clung weeping and sobbing to his bosom, till the moment of parting came, and when he turned to depart, she sunk, tainting, in his mother's arms. With a hurried step and streaming eyes, James Moreen turned his feet into the high, road which led to Dublin. He soon gained a little eminence, from which he could , obtain a last look at the poor hovel which held all that was dear to him on earth. , lie paused, and looking back, threw himself on his knees, and raising his hands towards heaven, ex claimed : . 0 thou, who clothest the lillies of the field, and hearest the young ravens when they. cry—protect them—and guide me on my way He arose, strengthened by this simple act of devotion, and proceeded on his way. The spring Was just open ing. Here and there a daisy peettedlfrom the sod, and the birds sang in the leafless trees. Who could have forseen that ere those spring flowers should bloom again, famine and pestilence would sweep over that devOted land, leaving manio hamlet des olate and many a ' ttrave yard full, 7 We will pass briefly over the voyage. That ship, the sea, everything were new and strange to the young man; but he contrived to Make himself so useful and agreeable about the vessel that when he landed in New York, the kind hearted captain gave him eight' dollars, and obtairild for him a situation as a porter in a store. It was a happy day for him when he received his first month's wages—twelve dollars besides, his board. He had never possessed so much money before, and he lookdd on it with a:feeling of triumph which those who are accustomed to abundance can never feel. A letter was dispatched ; to his father, informing Lim of his good fortune, and promising in a few months to send him money enough to bring them all over the water and then the happy home that they would have! They would not stay in'the city, but hasten to the western wilderness— build a log cabin—clear a field, and live like a prince on their own domain. Weeks and months passed away. The slimmer and the autumn were gone, and the terrible winter of 1 . 847 commenced. The he tidings came over the sea—falling like a dean lknell on the ears of James Moreen—that Irelan was Starving. Not an hour was lost. Every cent of his well saved earnings was dispatched to the relief,of his family, for he knew that nowhere would the public calam ity fall more heavily than on his native district. The terrible winter of 1847—long will Ireland remember it, and shudder at the recollection of its woes. The traveller who passes through the land is pointed to the deserted hovels, and told the fear ful story of starvation and death which has left them desolate. Among those tenantless dwellings may be seen the humble roof which sheltered the childhood of James Moreen. After James left, the family labored on as usual, hoping at least, af ter rent and tithes were paid to have a few pota toes for winter. But what were their feelings, as they saw those precious roots on which they were dependent for life itself, changing to a black and offensive mass! Rapidly they disappeared, and before the winter had fairly set in, their little store was all gone. Now their only hope was on James. They had written - to him of their distress, and if they could hold out till the assistance, which they felt sure he would send them, should arrive, they might hope to get through the winter. Now every particle of food was economized, and the grains of corn counted out. They grew paler, weaker, and more emaciate, and the scanty pittance which now sustained life must fail. As day after day passed away, the forlorn hope of help died in their bo soms. They could expect no assistance from the I neighbors, who were starving around them, and I the Catholic priest who resided in the place was little better oft than themselves. He had promised them, however, to send every day to the post-office for the expected letter, but morning and evening came and passed to the famishing family, and it came not. The last spoonful of oat-meal Was made into gruel, and placed on the little table. The poor mother, already wasted to a skeleton, was lying on the couch of straw, her face wrapped in the rag ged coverlet. A thin hand removed the coverlet. and held a cup to her mouth. Wph a strong ef fort, she pressed her parched lips .close together, and turned away her head . " Thomas," said she, " take my part of the gruel —it will give you a little strength—and go to his Reverence; who knows but that letter may have come ?" Thomas was sitting with his faie buried in his hands. Raising his sunken eyes, he said, huskily, " It is no use, Kate. If the money was in try hand, I could not crawl to the nearest market to get bread." "Nay, go," exclaimed the pale %I:omen, striving to rise. "lf the money cannot save our lives, yet it will be blessed to hear once more from the dear boy before we die." Mary,,who had been moving abotrt the room like a shadow, at the mention of her husband, threw herself on the bed beside her mother and sobbed aloud. The bitterest drop in the bitter cup she was drinking, was to die without a farewell from the loved one so far away. "I will go," said the old man, riling. "The holy Virgin grant it may have come p'! He tottered a few steps towards the door and tell fainting and exhausted. He never rose again. Two days after the scene we have been 'descri- "THAT COUNTRY IS WEE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS TII GREATEST REWARD."---Bnehanan. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 1852. bins, a little pale-faced man, in the peculiar garb of the Catholic clergy, might have been seen walk ing quickly towards the cabin. Everything was sti:l as death around, and his heart misgave him that all was not welt. He raised the latch and pushed open the door, and there before him lay the whole family, still and cold in death. He stood for a mo ment, horror-struck at the scene, and then, raising his hands towards heaven, he exclaimed " Holy Mother, help us! Surely thi Lord will not utterly forsake his people!" He had brought the expected letter, which he had just received. Alas! it came too late. The kind-hearted priest turned away with tears from the scene of death, and returning home he wrote an account of the sad fate of the family, and en closing the letter which he had received, sent it to James Moreen. The winter passed heavily away to poor James. ' Every day brought sad tidings of the woes at his country; and he trembled at the thought that his family might be involved in the general calamity. At last - the fatal letter came. It was handed to him in the store, and with a heart whose throbbings might have been almost heard, he entered the count ing room, and requested one of the clerks to read it. The young man broke the seal, and glanced over the terrible contents. He looked up, and Mo reen stood before him, pale and trembling. He had watched the expression of his face, and knew that there were evil tidings. • "Read it—read it!" he exclaimed, with a husky voice. "Let me know it all." He read with a trembling voice, and poor James leaned against the desk for support. Every feature was convulsed with agony, and his breath came at long and irregular intervals; but when the terrible certainty came over him that they were dead—all dead, had died of siarvalioii, lie uttered a shriek, and fell fainting on the floor. He was removed to his lodgings, and for many days raved in wild deliri um. Reason at length returned, but his heart was broken. Hope was dead within him. He lingered on a few weeks, and sunk quietly into the grave.— A few whom his virtues had won, or his sad and early fate moved to smpathy, laid him down, not without a tear, in his long resting place. Rut the memory of this worth and his• woes has almost 'passed from the minds of men, and the grass grown green on the mound where his true heart sleeps in peace—yea, sleeps in peace, though no kindred dust lies near; and the foot of the stranger treads lightly o'er his bed, yet he sleeps in peace in his nameless grave. Down to the pillow of the grave, There come no haunting dreams of woe." The Maine Liquor Law• As there is a great deal of talk at the present time about this enactment, we give it a place in our columns. Itsprovisions are as follows 1. No person shall manufacture or sell any spirituous or intoxicating liquors, except one suit. Ale person in each town, appointed by the proper officers to sell for medical or mechanical purposes, and who shall receive such compensation as the board may prescribe;' conform to such, rules and regulations as may be laid down for the sale of liquors, and give bond, with security, that he will sell the same for no other than the specified par. poses. 2. If any other person shall sell any liquors, he shall pay on the first conviction, ten dollars and costs; on the second, twenty dollars and costs; on the third and each subsequent, twenty dollars and costs, and be imprisoned in the common jail not less than three months nor more than six. If any person in the employment or on the premises of another, violates the law, he is liabld to the same penalties. 3. The mayor and aldermen of any city, and selectmen of any town, shall commence an action (in behalf of said town or city,) against any guilty of 'a violation of the law, on being furnished with proof of the fact. 4. Any person appealing from such judgment must give security in one hundred dollars, to pro secute his appeal, and pay all costs, lines and pen alties awarded, against him upon a final disposition of the case; that he will not during the pendency of the appeal, violate any 01 the provisions of the act; in case of conviction by a jury, the defendant must pay and suffer double the amount of penalties and imprisonments awarded against him by the judgment from which the appeal has been made. 5. Manufacturers and common sellers of liquors, in violation of the law, are subject to heavier pen alties than those above. G. Liquor cases take precedence of all others in Court, except criminal cases where the parties are under arrest, awaiting trial. 7. If any three voters shall make oath they have reason to believe that liquors are unlawfully kept, intended for sale at any specified place, a search warrant shall be issued, and if any are found they shall be seized—and (unless the owner An show by positive proof that the liquors are of for eign production, imported in accordance with the laws of the United •States, and contained in the original packages in which they were imported) they shall be forfeited and destroyed. LETTER FROM GOV. KOSSUTH TO SENA WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—A letter from Kossuth to Senator King, dated Cincinnati, Feb. 14, 1852, was presented to the Senate this morning. It simply states that agreeably to the suggestion of the Secretary of State, he transmits to the two Houses of Congress a copy of his farewell letter to the President addressed to him on leaving Wash ington. In this letter he expresses, through the President, his gratitude to the Government and peo ple of the United States, for the distinguished honor of his reception, and the unsurpassed kindness shown him. He receives all these manifestations of respect for the everlasting principles of national law, and lively sympathy for his country. The oppressed *nations of Europe would regard these memorable favors as practical proof that the President rightly interpreted the sentiments of the people and Con gress' when he declared that 'the United States could not remain indifferent when the strong arm of foreign power is invoked to stifle public senti ment." This magnanimous declaration (says Kos suth in his letter) followed by such generous man festations, will be recorded in history an a protes tation on behalf of the everlasting principles of the law of nations against their infraction by violence, and the millions of my people will receive with hope and confidence, when they shall come to know what favors were bestowed upon their exiled chief by the great Republic of the West, in acknowledg ment of the justice of Hungary's cause. Kossuth in this letter emphatically disavows any desire that the United States should jeopardize their own welfare and prosperity for the sake of the op pressed nations of Europe. Yet in view of their present gloomy condition, he hopes that the United States will be induced to pronounce in favor of the law of nations, and the undisturbed safety of com mercial intercourse. He concludes his letter with allusions to the in expressible joy with which humanity would hail such a pronunciamento from such a place. 11:7 The Providence Mirror announces the mar riage of Mr. James Bee, to Martha Ann Flower, at Athens, Pa.

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 PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, that 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 ef fects produced by early habits of youth, viz : Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal• pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c. Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits; Evil of Forebos:: ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro duced. NERVOUS DSBILITY 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 source of disease in flick sons and wards. Alas! 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, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind.

Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided youthibeen made, who have been suddenly resto red to health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, shoidd reflect that a sound mind 'and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, wilhout this, the journey thro' life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be comes blighted with our own.

The many thousands cured at this institution within the last ten years, and the numerous int• portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. 3., witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma• ny other persons, notices of which have appeared again and again before the public, is a sufficient guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and honorable physician.
