I've wandered to the village, Tom; I've eat .be neath the tree • • Upon the school house play-ground, which shel tered you and me; But none were there to greet me, Tom; and few were left to know, That played with us upon the grass, some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, Torn; bare-footed boys at play, Were sporting just as we did then, with spiritsjust as gay ; But the " Master 2, sleeps upon the hill, which, coated o'er with snow, Afforded us a eliding place, just twenty years ago. The old school house is altered some; the benches are replaced By new ones, very like the same our penknives had defaced; But the same old bricks are in the wall; the bell swings to and fro, Its music just the same, dear Tom, 'twos twenty years ago. The boys were playing some old game; beneath that same old tree; I do forget the name just now—you've played the same with me, On that same spot; 'twas played with knives, by throwing so and so; The leader had a task to do—there, twenty years ago. The river's running just as still; the willows on its side Are larger then they were, Tom; the stream ap pears less wide— But the grape-vine swing is ruined mow, where once we played the beau; And swung our scc'tethearts—" pretty girls"—just twenty years ago. The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, close by the spreading beach, Is very low—'twas once so high, that we could al most reach ; And, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Torn I started so, To see how much that I ant changed, since twenty years ago. Near by the spring, upon an elm, you know I cut your name, Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and you did mine the same; Some heartless wretch had peeled the bark—'twas dying sure but slow, ust as that one, whose name was cut, died twenty years ago. My lids have long been dry, Tom, but team came in my eyes; I thought of her t loved so well—those early bro ken ties; I visited the old church yard, and took some flow. ere to strew Upon the graves of those we loved, some twemy years ago. Some are in the church yard laid—soire sleep be neath the sea; But few are left of our old class, excepting you and me; And when our time shall come, Tom, and when we are called to go, I hope they'll lay us where we played, just twenty years ago. Truth Strat.ger than Fiction. I=l 'Percy, dear Percy, take back those hitter words; as heaven is my witness, they are undeserved by me. bee, my eye quails not beneath yours; my cheek blanches not; I stand before you this mo ment with every vow I made you at the altar un broken, in letter and spirit ;" and she drew close to him and laid her delicate 'hand upon his broad breast. "Wrong me not, Percy, even in thought." The stern man hektatt d. Had he not vvillully blinded himself? He had read truth and honor in the depths of the e'en .. blue eyes that looked so un flinchingly into his own. For a moment their ex pression overcame him; then, dashing aside the slender fing.rs that rested upon him, he left with a mutttered oath. Mary Lee had the mi , fortune to be very pretty, and the still greater misfortune to marry a jealous husband. Possessing quick and ready wit, and quick conversational powers, a more moderate share of personal charms would have made her society eagerly sought tor. As soon as her eyes were opened to the defect al luded to her in husban d 's character, she set herself studiously to avoid the shoals and quicksands that lay in the matrimonial seas. One by one she qui etly dropped the acquaintances of gentlemen who, from their attractiveness or preference for her soci ety. seemed obnoxious to Percy. Mary was no coquette. Nature had given her a heart; and, superior as she was to her husband, she really loved him. To most women his exacting unreasonableness would only. have stimulated to a finished display of Coquetry; but Mary, gently and yielding, made no show of opposition to the most absurd requirements. But all these sacrifices had been unavailing to propitiate the fiend of jealousy; and there she sat, an hour after her husband had left her, with her hands pressed tightly together, pale and tearless, striving in vain, to recall any cause of offence. Hour after hour passed by, and still h= came not. The heavy tramp of feet had long' since ceased be neath the window; the pulse cf the great city was still; silence and darkness brooded over its slum bering thousands. Mary could endure it no longer. Rising and putting aside the curtain, she pressed her face close against the window-pane, as if her straining, eye could pierce the gloom of midnight. She hears a step, it is his! Tremblingly she sank upon the sofa to await his coming, and nerve herself to hear his bitter harsh ness. Percy came gaily up to her and kissed her fore head! Mary passed Ler band over her eyes and looked at him again. No! he was not exhilerated with wine. What could have caused this sudden revulsion of feeling? Single-hearted and -sincere herself, she never dreamed of treachery. "Percy regrets his injustice," she said to herself, •'Men are rarely magnanimous enough to own they have been strong," and with the generosity of a no ble heart, she resolve 1 never to remind him by speech or look, that his words had been like poi soned arrows to her spirit. The following day, Perry 'proposed their taking "a short trip into a neighboring town," and Mary, glad to convince him how truly she forgave him, readily complied. It was a lovely day in string; .and the fresh air and sweet scented blossoms might have sent a thrill of pleasure to sadder hearts than theirs. "What a pretty place," said Mary. , '•What a spa .cious house! and how tastefully the grounds are laid out. Do you slop here rihe continued, as her husband reined the horse into t a avenue. "A few moments; I have business here," r epli e d Percy, slighty averting his face, "and you had bet ter alight too, for the horse is restive and may trou ble you." Mary sprang lightly from the vehicle, and as cended the. spacious stone steps. They were met at the door by a respectable gray-haired porter. who ushered them into a receiving room. Very soon a little awallow•faced man, bearing a strong resemblance to a withered orange, made his ap pearance and casting a glance upon Mary, from his little twinkling black eyes, that made the blood mount to her cheeks, made an apology for with drawing her husband for a few minutes, "on busi ness," to an adjoining loom. As they left, a respectable middle-aged woman entered, and invited Mary to take off her hat. She declined, saying, "she was to leave with her hus band in a few minutes." The old woman then jingled a small bell, and another matron entered. "Better not use force," said she, in a Whisper.— "Poor thing! iSo pretty, too. She don't look as though she'd al!ear a 'straight jacket.'" The truth flashed upon Mary at once. She was in a iLunatic Hospital! Faint with terror, she de manded to see her husband, assured them she was perfectly sane;, to all of which they smiled quietly, and with an air that said, "we are used to such things here." .1 By-and-by the little wizen-faced doctor came in, and listening to her eloquent appeal with an ab stracted air, ai one would tolerate the prattle of a petted child, hesexamined her pulse, and motioned the attendants,'"to wait upon her to her room." Exhausted with the tumult of feeling she had pased through, she followed without a show of re sistance. But who shill describe the death-chill that struck to her heart as, she entered it? There was a bed of snowy whiteness, a table, a chair, all scrupulously neat and clean; and the breath of the sweet-scented blossoms came in through a grated window. Some refreshments were brought her, of which she refused to partake. She could not even weep, her eyes seemed turned to stone. She could hear the maniac laeghter of her fellow prisoners—she could see some of the more harmless marching in gloomy file thtough the grounds, with their watch ful body guard. Poor Mary! She felt a stifled, choking sensation in her throat, as if the air she breathed were poi son; and withiher nervous, excitable temp -rament, God knows the chance she stood to become what they really thOught her? To all her eager inquiries she received only evasive answers; or else the sub ject was ski(lfuly and summarily dismissed, to make place for one in which she had no interest. Little Dr. Van Brant daily examined her pulse, and "hoped she was improving—" or if she wasn't it was his interest to issue a bulletin to that effect, and all "company " was vetoed " as exciting and injurious to the patient." And so day. after day, night atter night, dragged it slow length,along. And ,Perry. with the mean nesa of a revengeful spirit, Was "biding his time," till the punishment shall be sufficiently salutary to warrant his recalling her home. But while he was quietly waiting the accomplishment of this pur pose, the friend of the weary came to her relief. "Leave me; please, will your" said Mary to the mire", as she turned her cheek to the pillow like a tired child. "I want to he alone." The old woman took her sewing and seated her sell)ust outside :he door, thinking she might wish to sleep. In ;a few moments she peeped cautinusly thrOugh the Open door. Mrs Percy still lay there in the same position, with her cheek nestling in the palm of her little hand. '?She sleeps sweetly," she resumed her work. " she mutterrd to herself as Yes, dame Ursula, but it is the "sleep" from which only the trump of the archangel shall wake her! Mary's secie' died with her, and the remorse that is busy at the heart of Percy, is known only to his Maker. Coutling, in Right Style.

True there was a crowd there, varying trom 10 to 80,000, according to the imagination of the writers, and the nature of the mediuth through which it was viewed. It could; not well have been otherwise, consider ing the place, the time,'And the attractions. An opportunity' to see Niagara for halt price, just nt the time that a visit there was as desirable, as fash isorigb. le, was not to be neglected, and was eagerly .embracediby hundreds whose zeal for Gen. Scorn could not have tempted them half the distance in any other , direction or even in that, unless at "half price.' Sic.there was a crowd, with its usual ac companiments, want of room, want of provisicins, want of comfort, and what was not anticipated, a great want of enthusiasm. Then there were plenty of pick-packets, and many of the faithful had their 'pockets lightened by a process more summary than is customary even at Niagara, where you can scarce turn round for less than a quarter. There was quite a display of the military too, of nodding plumes and bristling bayonets, rather a new feature in a politiCal assemblage, but doubtless quite prop er for the 'opening of a military campaign which is intended to end in a military administration. But as a political demonstration, intended to open the Scorn campaign with eclat, to give an impetus to the .Military Glory Ball, which should . send it bounding over prostrate democracy, and over all opposition; and to cover the country with a blaze of enthusiasm which the mere name of WINFIELD Sams waS expected to kindle, we are compelled on Whig testimony to pronounce it a total failure. The meeting was presided over by THOM AS Ew- Ina, the father -ol Galphinism, the High Priest of Abolitionism, and Chief Butcher of Gen. TArt.ota's proscriptkve administration, as it to leave no doubt of the truth of the declaration of the N . Y. Eapress, that G n:Sciria administration would bring with it the Galphin tail that had followed Gen. Tercon into power. The speeches were made to small au , diences, the people showing their taste and intelli gence by!preferring to listen to the roar of the cat aract instead of the homilies of the second rate or ators whd had been brought there to entertain them. Among the speakers was HORACE GREELY, who devoted his time and talents to puffing the pictorial life of Gen. Sco-r-r, which he very truthfully rep• resented as having all the charms, and he might haVe added, all the qualities of a romance. One of the speakers was so prosy that the audi ence called him down; while another entertained thein with some half a dozen lines of doggerel, to the:effecti that as they were on that devoted spot, he hoped; they would all speak for Gen. SCOTT, whose services he further hoped would never be forgot, & The enetal sentiment of all who went there ap pears to be that the entertainment that was served nip to them "was not the entertainment they were invited tor the result of the great effort has fallen like a wet blanked upon the sprits of the whigs, and deirOe the highly colored and exaggerated ac counts which some of their papers give of the af fair, the lineation is forced home upon them • If the attempt to create SCOTT enthusiasm, and th e . furor of imilitary glory, 60 signally failed in sight of Lundy's Lane and amid the thunders of Niagara, where may we hope to renew the experiment with better hopes of success?

The Spirit of the Times has some correspondents, so it has- ' humerous fellows who write for the fun of it, and to excite fun in others. And they 'succeed too, and with the aid of the tallest of editors, the real Porter, make the Spirit the "greatest paper published." One of them tells the adventures of a bashful 'lover" as follows: His name was Danpbule; we used to call him Jackass, for short. Heav n help me if he should see this story; I hope he does not get the Spirit. Among many of his misfortunes, for he was cock-eyed, red-haired and knock-kneed; be num bered that inconvenient one of bashfulness; never theless he was fond of the ladies, although, when in their presence, he never opened his mouth if he could help it, and when he did speak, he used both hands to help him ; in fact, he was a man of "peat actions." Jack, one warm day, fell in love; he had just graduated at College, and began to think he must seek the ladies' society; he was getting to be a man, and it was manly tq have a 'penchant: . So Jack fell in love with the sweetest, liveliest, most hoyendish girl in the square; but bow to tell his love? there was the rub. He bad heard a good deal of the "language of the eyes," and he ac cordingly tried that, but when he looked particu larly hard at the window where Miss Emily was in the habit of sitting, some person on the other side of the street would invariably bow to him, thinling be was endeavoring to catch their eyes. He has despised exprersive eyes ever since then. At length Jack obtained an introduction through his sister, and with her he called several times, but she was obliged to leave the city for a season, and as each interview only increased his ardor, he de termined on going it alone. • Long before the hour fixed upon by custom for an evening visit, he found himself arrayed in his best. Blue coat, metal buttons, black cassimere pants, (said pants being a leet(e tighter than the skin,) and a spotless vest. The journals of the day state, as an item of in telligence, that the thermometer ranged from 75 to SO degrees. Jack swears it was over a hundred. As the hour gradually drew near, Jack found courage and perspiration oozing out together; and he almost determined to pull off and stay at home. He concluded, however, he'd take a walk past the house and see how he felt. By the time he reached the mansion he firmly concluded not to go in, but on casting his eyes tow ard the parlor window and perceiving no signs of life, he thought it was probable that no one was at home, and since he had proceeded so far, he would proceed farther, and leave his card. No sooner determined than concluded. In a reck less moment he pulled the bell; the darned thing needn't make such a cussed noise. The door was opened as if by magic , and the servant girl politely asked him in; Miss Emily was alone in the parlor, and would be delighted to 0 Lord! here was a fix ! Go in a dark parlor with a pretty girl alone. It was too late to retreat, the girl had closed the front door, arid was point ing into the parlor as - here Miss Emily was. Being perfectly convinced that no • choice was left him, into the dark room he walked or sided. • All was perfect chaos to his eyes for a moment; but only for a moment; 'then from the deepest gloom came forth an angel voice, "bidding him welcome and draw near." To obey the order was but the work of a moment, as he supposed, but he little dreampt of the obstacle fate had thrown in his way. He knew frill well that the stream of Love had mane ripples, but full grown ,snags en tered not into his bead. Judge then of his astonisbmegt on being tripped op almost at the fair one's Pet, by a fat stool with plethoric legs, which chance or a careless servant had placed exactly on his road to happines. Over he went, and as the tailor had not allowed for any extra tension of the muscles, and sinews, he not only procured a tumble, but also a compound frac ture of the black pants aforesaid; said fracture ex tending all across that point which comes in clo sest contact With the chair. Having picked himself up as carefully as cir cumstances would allow, the smothered laugh of Miss Emily not "seiing him fbrward any," he at last succeeded in reaching a chair, and drawing his coat-tails forward to prevent a disagreeable ex pose, sat himself down with as much grace as a bear would when requested to da.ice upon a piLe needles. The young lady was almost sufTOcated with laughter at the sad misfortune of the bashful lover, felt truly sorry for him, and used all her powers of fascination to drive it from his mind, and event ually succeeded so far as to induce him to make a remark. On this rock he split. Just at that moment she discovered she had lost her handkerchief. What had become of it? She was sure she had it when he came in. It must certainly be somewhere about. "Haven't you got it under you, Mr. Danphule. Ja. k wassure . he bad not, but poor Jack, in yen wring an answer, could not possibly get along without raising his hands, and of course he must drop his coat tail. In his anxiety to recover the missing viper, be even ventured to inclipe his body so as to get a glance on the floor. As he did so. the fracture opened, and behold there lay, as the lady supposed, her property. It was the work of a moment to catch the cor ner and exclaim, nHere it is, sir, you needn't trouble yourself about it. Just raise a little, its under you," at the same time she gave it a long, hard, pull. Alas, the tail was told, no escape, nothing short of a special interposition of Providence could save his shirt. But what should he do? Another and another, a stronger pull, evincing on the part. of the girl a praiseworthy determination to obtain the lost dry goods. coupled with the request "Get up, sir, you're sitting on it," determined him, and -,an the agony of the mordent, and grab bing with both hands. a fast disappearing strip of linen which encircled his neck, he exclaimed, "For God's sake, blis Emily, leave my shirt colar."

After a six day's fight in the convention, and after balloting fifty times, wearing out the patience of the delegates, and disgusting, the thousands of spectators present, the popular will was trodden under loot by an un principled band of abolitionists, hea , ed by Wm. H. Seward, the worst man in America, and the whole South was forced to cal northern dust! The nation ality of the Whig party istlestoyed ; and the man above all others—Fillmore, who was entitled to the nomination, and who would have been acceptable to his party—has been ungenerously set aside by wire-workings, intrigue, lying, arid vile menage-, ment of as corrupt a faction as ever banded to gether, for similar purposes, that side of the infer nal regions! It will not be more than one month from the day on which Scott was nominated, until every sensible reading man will see that he can't get the electoral vote of a single State south of the Poto. mac—not one. He ought not to get one vote. 1 is due to the whips of the South that they should at once wash their hands of the nomination, and shake their skirts of its odium, shame'and disgrace . Tennessee will go for Pierce and King by a' ma jority of not less than TEN THOUSAND VOTES Never having voted for a Democratic Presidential ticket, we do not expect to vot-.. , for Pierce and King, but if we could believe that one vote would give them this State, and the Union, against the Scott and Seward ticket now before the country, our vote would be given to them with as much cheer ulness as ever we cast it in our lives. They will not need our humble efforts—the race will be a one-sided race—Pierce and King will sweep the entire South—they ought to do it, against the,cor ropt and free soil ticket the whips have put forth —and we pray God they may do it. Whig orators and editors may talk about Bridge. water and Lundy's Lane—about Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo—and Chepultepec and "Molino del Rey—and about the city of Mexico—but they will find the glories of those fields swallowed up in the fence riding course of Scott—his insufferable vanity —and the infamy of his political association. Gen. Scott will now come out for the compromise meas ures, but it is too late. The distrust of the South ern people cannot now be overcome. - T ANDIS & BLACK, j ATTORNIES AT LAW: Office—Three doors below the Lancaster Bank, .South Queen Street, Lancaster,:Penn , a. s:r All kinds of Scrivening, such as writineffills, Deeds, Mortgages, Accounts, &c., will be attended to with correctness and despatch. 1 • January 16, 1849 51 William Whitehill.

Being an article entirely different from and much superior to ordinary powder, it requires a small quantity in its application, and yet so identifies itself with the natural appearance. as to be imperceptible to the ni cest observer. To those ladies particularly who are subject to flushes of the face or neck, to such as are exposed to habitual or qccasional agitations, whether nervous or otherwise, the Pearl Powder' affords harmless, effectual and most welcome relief; it is also very cool and refreshing in warm wcatner. TOIL ET POWDER - - The Toilet and the Nursery bear equal testimony to the value of this article; in both it is justly es- teemed indispensable. To cool the surface or the skin—to conceal the effect of agitation—to allay chafing and irritation, are its lunct.ons. The pro prietor directs his attention to secure purity and sweetness in the selection of the ingredients as well as neatness and exactness in its preparations. Prepared and sold at CHARLES A.
