TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TWELFTH CONGRES
SIONAL DITRJCT OF PENNSYLVANIA.

When we left our native land,
Por Pennsylvania's soil,
There ?ve found we left !ow homes,
' For poverty and toil;
There we fohnd the forest wide;
With trees so large and tall,
It : required the ax-man's blows
:To make them bend or fall.
When the axe had done its work—
The timber strew'd around,
Harder labor must be had,
To clear it from the grou nd.
,
Trees like these, could not be moved,
By strength of one man's hand—
:4l...abor, one man could not do,
True Frieqviship could command-,-
The " log-roil" then handed round
To neighbors one and all,
Each one a friendly hand,
t To greet his neighbor's call. '
Thus the logs were moved in heaps ,
By hardy sons and sires;
. And then a•crackling noise was heard
From the devouring fires.. -
Thus the forest's stubborn trees
'l'o man pow bow and vteld;
Where the huntsmen chased thilir game,
Is.many a pleasant field.
P:ants and fruits now there abound,
. All man or beast require; . .
Every comfort there is found,
— Than Freemen can' desire.
As the traVerr, casts his eyes .
O'er hill or through the plain,
Every stftritner has its view,
Of waving Gelds of grain.
'Round the scene, where Freemen dwell
."letrt cottages appear;
'Villages dressed up in white,
Present their brighte,4 spires;
Each Sabbath there Freemen. meet, •
• Anil offer up their prayers
To ihe God who gave them birth;
The maker of the suit
That Heaven's blessings may descend
And bless them in their toil.
Here no slave did ever sweat,
.Or fOr a master toil
All the labor here 45 done,
By owners of the soil :
Freemen thtvs-,—without control,
Are masers of the land %
Datil one lives for the great %thole,'
A patriutte band.
Aged sires have paved the way
The tyrants yoke to break,
And their sons have nobly heard.
, The words their fathers spake.
Go as Freemen. sound it lond!
And in the Contrre . ss
Thus proclaim a Freeman's right,.
No SLAVF.II IN FarEMSN'S SOIL!
Young Wit.xcer this right proclaims—
`. 'Tis ec h oed through the land,
Freemen echo back again,
•
It . is our real command:
Although the South hold their Slaves,
We will not - interfere;
:Sovereign are ths Rights of States,
And this we will revere.
Hot all lands now free from slaves
In Kreedom must remain.
No tyianny must rule that soil,
fo hind men with a chain. •
An Floquent Speech. '
At a great m'eettng in Dahhtt the preparatory step towards
c0....h. - iota,' of all rrpealers. MI. Meagher delivered the
odott•ing eloquent speech •
Mr Thomas F. Meagher said—Citizens of Dub
lin, since we last assembled' in- this hall an event
has occurred whin decides oor fate. are no
longer master of our lives. They belong to the
country—to liberty-;--to vengeance. (Loud cheers )
Tpon the walk of Newgate a fettered hand has in
scribed this destiny. We shall b- the martyrs or
the rulers of a revolution. "One. two, three—aye,
hundreds, shall follow me," exclaimed the'glorious
Citizen who was Sentenced to e x ile and immorali
ty, upon the inoming of the 29th of May. (Loud
and prolonged cheering.) Such washislirophecy,
arsi his e_bildren wi!l live to my hs been fulfill •
ed. Let no man niistrust these words; Whilst r
speak them I am fully sensible _of the obligation
they impdse: It is an obligation from which there
is no exemption but through infamy. (Loud cheers.)
Claiming your trust,- however, I well know the
fe,cling,s that prevail amongst y ou. Doubt-4.lepres
sion—shame ! Doubt, as the troth of those whose
advice restrained your daring Depression, inspir
ed by the loss of the' ablest and the boldest map
among u.S: (Ilea'r, hear, and cheers.); Shame, ex
cited by the ease, the . insolence, the impunity with
whiclr - he was hurried in chains from the island-to
whose setvice he had sacrificed all that he had on
earth-call that maw-life dear, and honorable, and
;2.lOrious to him—his home, his genius, and his lib
erty. (Loud and continued cries of hear, hear.)—
In those feelings of depression and shame I deeply
share ; and from the mistrust with which some of
you, at least, rimy-regard the members of the late
Council, I shall not hold myself exempt. If they
are to blame, sn am I._ Between the hearts of the .
people and the bayonets I took my stand with the
members of the Council, and warned back the tire
cipitate devotion which scoffed at prudence as a
crime. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) lam here to
answer for that act. If yod believe it to have been
the act of a dastard, treat me with no delicacy, treat
me with-no respect—vindicate your courage in the.
impeachment of the coward. (Cheers.) The ne
cessities and perils of the cause forbid the inter
change of courtesies., Civilities are out of plium in
the whirl tumult (if the tempest. . And do' not fear
that the -forfeiture of your confidence will induce in
ute the reuuticiation of the cause. In the ranks—
by the side of the poorest meehathe—F shall-proud.
'ly act, under. any executive you may decree.—
.(llear, and ,loud cheep.) Summon the intellect
4 . 9 d heroism of the Democracy, from the workshop,
the field, the garret—bind the brow of labor with
`the crown of -sovereignty—plays the sceptre in the
rhugli and blistered hand—and, to the death, I shall
be the subject and the soldier of the plea eian king.

William Smith O'Brien—bears witness to your (lc
termination. • It states that thousands of the Conte- -
derates had pledged themselves that John Mitchell
should not leave these shores but through their
blood. We are bound to.make this statement—
bouud in justice to you—bound in honor to the
country. (Hear, -hear.) Whatever odium may
spring from that scene of victorious defiance, in
which the government played its part without a
stammer or a check, none falls on you. You would
have fought had we not seized your hands, and
bound them. (Loud cries, of hear,' hear,) Let no
foul tongue, then, spit its sarcasm upon the 'ogle.
They were 'ready for the sacrifice; and had the
word been given, the stars would burn this night
above a thousand crimsoned graves. , (Loud cries
of hear, hear,. hear.) The guilt is ours—let the
sarcasms fall upon our heads. We told yoe in the
dribs four days previous to the trial, the reasons that
compelled 114-to oppbse the project of a rescue. s —
The concentration of 10,000 troops upon the city—
the incomplete organization of the people—the in
sufficiency of food in case of.a Sustained resisance
—the uncertainty as to how far the country districts
were prepared to support us—these were the chief
reasons that forced us into antagonism with your
generosity, 'your devotion, your intrepidity. (Hear,
hear.) Night after night we visited -the clubs to
•know your sentiments, your determination—and to
die course we instructed you, to adopt, you gave at
length,- a reluctant sanction. (Hear, hear.) Now,
I do not think it would be candid to conceal the,
fact, that the day subsequent to the arrest of John
Mitchell, I gave expression to sentiments having a
tendency quite opposite to the advice I have men
tioned. •At a meeting of the Grattan Club, I said
that the Confederation . ought to come to the resolu
tion to resist by force the transportation bf John
'Mitchell, and if the worst betel us, the ship that
car
ried, him away shquld sail upon a sea of blood.—
( Hear. hear) I said this,and I shall not conceal
it. I said this, and I shall not shrink from the re
roach of having acted otherwise. Upou conside
ration, I became convinced they were seutiments,
Whit*, if acted upon, would associate my name
with'the ruin of the cause. (Hear; hear) I felt it
my duty, therefore, to retract them—not to disown,
but to cnn.lem thein—nOt to shrink from the re
sponsibility which the avowal of them might entail,
but to avert the disaster which the enforcement of
diem would ensure. (Loud cheers.) You have
now heard all I had to say upon the point; end
with a conscience happy in the thought that it has
concealed nothing, I shall exultingly-look forward
to an event, the shadow of which already encircles
us, for the vindication of my conduct, and the ones
' tation of my truth. (Load cheers.) Call me cow
ard—(cries of ".No, no")—call me renegade.—
(Renewed cries of " No, T will accept these
tides:al the penalties which a fidelity to my con
victims has imposed. It will be so a short time
only. To the end I see the path I have been Or
dalued to walk, and von the grave which closes
in that path, T
~ can read no' coward's
(Cheers.) Bitterly, indeed, might the woe and
children of our illustrions friend lament the loss they
have sustained, if this example failed to excite
air tingst us that dehtiant spirit, which, in spite of
pains and penalties, will boldly soar to freedom :
an.l from the dust, whereit has writhed and fretted
for a time, return in rapturous fli4lit io the source
from whence it issued. (loud cheers.) ' Not till
thennot till thecowardice of the country has been
made manifest—let there be tears and mourning
roiled that hearth, of which the pride and chivalry
has passed away. (Hear, hear.) I said that in
the depression which hiss loss inspired, I deeply
shared. I should not 'haie said so.. I feel . no de
pression. His example—his stern fortitude—his
tranquil heroism—forbids the feeling, (Loud
cheers) All that was perishable in him—his flesh
,and blood—are in the keeping of the privileged fel
ons who won his liberty with their !nailed dice.—
(Hear, hear.) But, his genius, his tria, his hero
ism—to what penal settlement have these immor
tal influences been condemned? Oh! to have
checked the evil promptry-:- ro' have scoured their
crown and government apinst him and hie teach
ings—to have done their tr'eacherons business well
—they should have read' his mission and his power
in the star that preFided at his birth, and have stab
bed him in his cradle. (Loud cries of hear.) They
si'ized him thirty years too late—they seized him
when his steady hand had lit the sacred fire; and
the flame had passed from Eritil to soul. (Enthu
siaStic cheers.) Who speaks of depression then ?
Banish it! -Let not the banners'dronp—let not. the
battalions reel—when the young chief iS doWn.—
[Enthusiastic cheers.) YQU have to avenge that
fall. Until that fall shall have been avenged, a sin
blackens the soul of the nation, and repels from our
cause t the sympathies of every ,TAllant people.—
(Cries of:hear, hear.) For one, lam pledged to
fallow hirq. (Loud and protracted cheering.)—
Once again they shall have to pack their jury box
—once again exhibit in the world the frauds and
mockeries--the tricks and perjuries upon which
their powei is based. In this island; the English
never—neter, shall have rest. (Tremendouschcer
ing.) The work begun by the Borman never shall
bb 'completed. Generation transmits to generation
the holy pas- , ior. From the blood which :trenched
the scaflolds of 1198, the felons of this year have
sprung. (Loud cheers.) Should their blood flow
—peace-, and loyalty, and debasement, may here,
for a time, resume their reign- r -the snows of a win•
ter, the flowers of a strinmermay clothe the pre-
scribed graves—bat from Male graves there shall
be a resurrtction. (Loud cheers.) Peace, loyal
ty, and debasement, forsooth ! A stagnant society
—breeding in its bosom, slimy, sluggish things,
which to the surface make their way by stealth,
and there for a season, creep, oringe and glitter in
' the glare of a pruvincical loyalty.; (Hear, hear.)
Peace, loyalty and debasement ! A mass of pul
-1 perism !--shovelled oft the land--itocked in fever

hold humanity dethroned, & Providence blasphem
ed. (Hear and cheers.) To keep nip this abomi
nation, they enact their laws of felony. T. o sweep
away the abomination, we must break through their
laws. (Hear, hear, and loud cheery.) Should the
laws fail, they will hedge the abomination with
their bayonets and their gibbets. These, too, shall
give way before the torrent of fire that gathers in
the soul of the people. The question so long de.
bated—debated years ago, on 'fields of blood—de
bated latterly in a venal senate, amid the jeers and
yells of faction,--the question as to who shall be the
owners of this island, must be this year determin
ed. The end is at hand, and so unite and arm !
ALond cheers.) A truce to cheers—to speeches=
to banquets—to " important resolutions" that re.
solve nothing, and " magnificent displays," which
are nothing but preposterous deceptions. Ascertain
your resources in each locality t --consolidate, ar
range them—substitute defined action for drifiless
passion; and in the intellgent distribution and dis
ciplined exercise of your powers, let the mind of
the country manifest its purpose, and give perma
nent effect to its ambition. In carrying out this
wan, the country shall have the the services of the •
leading members of the Council; and from this
great task ; the organization of the country ; we
shall not desist, until it has been thoroughly accom
plished. When it is- accomplished, the country
may resume its freedom and its sovereignty. To
the work, then, with high hope . and impassioned
vigor. (Loud cheering.) There is a black ship
upon the southern sea this night. Far from his own
old land—far Trom the sea, and sky, which
standing here he used to claim for you all the pride
of a true Irish prince 7 far from that circle of fresh.
young hearts, in whose right and joyousness and
warmth, his own drank in each evening new life
and vigor—far from that young wife, in wirse heart
the kind hand of Heaven has kindled a gentle he
roism, sustained by Which she looks a ith 'Sereni'y
and pride upon her widowed house'; and in the
children that girdle her with beauty, behold the
inheritors of a name which to their last breath, will
secure for them the love, the honor, the blessings
of their country ; far from these scenes and joys,
clothed and fettered as a felon ; he is borne to an
island where the rich, and brilliant, and rapacious
power, of which he was the foe, has doomed him j
to a dark existence. (Renewed cheering) That
sentence shall be reversed; reversed bythe decree
of a.free nation, arrayed in arms acrd in glory. 'Till
then, in the love of the country, let the wife and
children of the illustrious exile be shielded from ad
versity. True, when lie stood before the Judge,
and with the voice and bearing of a Roman, told
him three hundred were prepared to follow him;
true it is that at that moment he spoke not of his

cause for which he Was doomed to sutler. But in
that one thou,ghttuill other thoughts were embraced.
Circled 1w the arms and banners of a , free people,
he saw his home secure—his wife joyous—hischil
di en prosperous. (Hear, 'hear, and loud cheers.)
This was the thought that forbade his heart to blench
when he left these shares—this the thought which
calls up this night, as lie sleeps within that prison
ship. dreams Lull of light and rapturous joy—this the
thou:•ht which will lighten the drudgery, and re
concile his proud heart to the odious condition of

A mcs Exert. D Exec NCZILS —Titer e are people
who would say, 1 ' Labor is not all ; we do not ob
ject:to the cessation of labor—a mere provision for
bodily ends; but we fear the lightness and vanity
of what you call recreation." Do these people take
heed of the swiftness of thqug,ht—of the impatience
of thought? What' %Alt the great toys of men be
thinking of, if they are taught to shun amusements
and the thoughts of amusements. If any eensuali
ly if left open to them, they will think of that; if
not sensuality, then avarice or ferocity. People
who have had nothing else to amuse them, have
been very apt to indulae themselves in the excite
ment of persecuting tit* fellow creatures. Our na
tion, the northern pa r% of it especially, is given to
believe in the toverebi_ efficacy of Fullness. To
be sure, dullness and solid vice are apt to go hand
in hand; but then ; according to our notions, dull
hess is in itself so good a thing. Now, if ever a
people require to be amused, it is we sad-hearted
Anglo-Saxons. Heavy eaters, hard thinkers, often
given up to a peculiar melancholy of our own, with
a climate that, for months together, would frown
away mirth if it could—many of us with very gloo.
my thoughts about our hereafter—if ever there were
a people who should avoid increasing their dull
ness by all work and no. lay, we are. that people.
"They took their plessnres sadly," says Freiman,
" after their fashion." We need not ask of what na
tion Froissart was speaking—[Letters on Society,

Same at a Pawn Broker's Sale.
Passing up Chatham street, on Thursday, we
were attracted by the cry of " going, going, going,"
at one of these establishments, and entering found
it filled with a motley assemblage, examining the
rich display of goods, wares, and merchandise, ar
ranged for sale. The auctioneer was at the mo
ment of our entrance, inviting bids for a quilted pet
ticoat, which had evidently seen some service, and
which was started at " five cents," and after con
siderable competition, finally knocked down, to a
squalid looking female, for eighteen cents, whoop
peared from her scanty covering to require the ar
ticle. She walked up to the desk, paid the cash
and received the article, apparently much satisfied
with her bargain.
A cradle, a feather bed, a waleS a bureau, a coat
and vest, were successively disposed of, at prices
which struck us to be far above their value, and it
was amusing to witness the eagerness with which
the competitors sought to possess themselves of va
rious objects of their competition. We noticed
among tha group an interesting girl , about seven
teen years of age, in faded,-yet deep mourning.—
There was an expression of anxious melancholy
upon her pale and beautiful countenance which riv
etted cmr'attention -, she was not fimong those' who
were bidding, but was undoubtedly waiting until
some article was offered aliich she was desirous
of possessing. At length the auctioneer offered a
miniature and locket. The pale girl started, and
rushing toward the counter, exclaimed in a voice
of deep anguish,
Oh ! don't sell them sir, for mercy's sake keep
them a little while loremr, I shall be able to redeem
them. I shall indeed."
"What is bid far them r' continued the' auc
tioneer.
"Do not bid !" almost shrieked the Ltiti. " I hail
to pawn them to get bread for my little sister: if is
my •rnother's miniature and my mother's hair which
that locket contains--my poor, dear mother, who
gave it,to me when she was dying. Oh do not sell
it—pray don't."
It is impossible to describe the sensation produc
ed by this appeal among that assemblage. There
was not a solitary bid for the article; but We saw
an elderly gentleman in the simple garb of a Qua
ker go to the desk and in a few minutes afterwards
we saw that pale girl press his hand to her lips, and
after eagerly kissing something which he handed
to her, she rushed from the room. This scene ter
minated the sale that day. for the audience soon be
gan to disperse, the few that remained evincing no
disposition to possess themselves of any tf the
" unredeemed pledges" lett remaining ou hand.—

-I-ism—One of the must beneficient features of
the present age, is the disposition of society to ac
cord to honest industry a just recompense. This is
emphatically the redeeming virtue of - the age.—
When we contemplate labor as the great agent of
wealth, we all agree that it merits In receive an
adequate share of the harvest. " :Muzzle net the
ox that treadeth out the corn ) " is a Divine injunc
tion, from the most meted source. The. doom of
nur race, that man shall' earn his bread by the,sweat
of his brow, receives a sweet alleviation from the
fountain of Lure, that measures out the recompense
of the laborer more by the liberal sympathies of
our nature, than the hard extortions of griping ava
rice. " Live and let live," is a noble maxim. In
tine, there is no other equitable and religious prin
ciple of action s one that bespeaks the Christian and
exalts the man ; than that which secures love ; icon
fidence, esteem and' veueration. Power can only
hope to escape Envy, by making sacrifices to Love,
and Liberality is 'the minister who negotiateb be.
twcen labor and capital. To encourage Industry,
we must reward it above the standard of a mere
existence. The beasts of the field are above want.
Man should not only be placed above want, but en
abled to cultivate the Intellectual faculties of his
soul. as well as the moral affections of his heart.—
When we reward labor as rational beings, we en•
noble our race. it is, therefore, a subject of thank•
fulness, that the present age are friends to the bene
ficent remuneration of industry.
Ostri Auz.—There is a quiet repose and steaili.
ness about the happ:nes of age, if the life has been
well spent. Its feebleness is not painful. The ner
vous system has lost its acuteness. Even in mature
years we feel that a burn, scald, a cut, is more to
lerable than it was in the sensitive period . of youth
The fear of approaching death, which iii youth we
imagine most cause inquietude to the aged, i t s very
seldom the source of mush uneasiness. We never
like to hear the old rezrettina the loss of their youth.
is v sign that they are not living their life aright.
There are duties and pleasures for every age, and
the wise will follow them. They will neither re
gret the' loss of youth nor affect to be younger than
they are. When men, they a not dress as boys
nor compete with them. When matrons, or ma
tron-like maids, they will not dress like girls.—
When young women, they witT not be'chifdish, and
play piping tunes by way of enchantment. To be
happy, we must be true_ to nature, and carry our

Edw.4enner, an taglishmart Was
the immortal discoverer ef vaccination. , His Rune
certainly deserves a place among great, and il
lustrious benefactors of the human race. ,Prior to
this important diseovery, tt itsocculatiott of small pox
was practiced as a mean? of rendering the ifirase
mildet. The attention oi Dr. leaner was excited
to thrksubject of cow pox by observing that among
those !whom in the country he wss called upon ps
inocculate, may resisted the effort to give of bin the
small pox. These patients he found had undergone
alliserder contracted by milking cows affected with
a pecidiar eruption on their teats; and a vague opin
ion ptievailed of its being preventive of small pox.
In 1796, he made successful experiments with
the raatter obtained from the cow, and found tha t
those ( whom he had infected with it, were instnicept.
ible to small pox. Two years afterwards he pub.
lished the result of his investigations. Public atten.
tiou was at once awakened to the subject. The
introduction of vaccination was at first violently op
posed in various guiders; yei the knowledge and
practice of it spread rapidly throughout Erope and
America; and there is now no civilized hailers on
the smith, by whom it has not been adopted,
.and
very i generally hailed as a means .of certain secur
ity against a dreaded and loathsome disease.
Period for Vaccination.—The proper age for vac
cinating ,a child is about the fourth month, when
- the body is sufficiently developed to receiv . ii,i .an
miunre the disease, and before the irritation from
teething has occurred
While we choose generally, - the fourth month as
the most couversient age, yet should the small pox
prevail ; or other - urgent circumstances exist, we
never hesitate to vaccinate at tiny period died with
in a few days after birth.
Seasons of the year.—The seasons of the year is
of some consequence to the success of vaccination.
The heat of summer is most tintaverable, and it
more often fails a this season than any other ; the
free secretions from the skin removing the virus
when inserted. Extreme cold, also, acts unfavefa
bly•on the success and full development or the vac
cine disease. Asa general rule therefore, it is better
to wait unt I the rigorvof winter havi been moder
ated by the fnfluence of spring, or until the heat of
summer has given away to the coolness-of autumn.
Phenomena.—The flat appearance of successful
vaccination, shows itself about the third day after
the insertion of the matter, in the . form of a red and
slightly elevated pimplif; which on the • fourth day
is more tumefied, surrounded by a very faint' and
narrow inflamed base, and is attended with itching
On the fifth day the pimple has assumed the ap
pearance of a vesicle. About this time a deprers
ion appears in the center, of .a fawn color; strongly
snaked on the seventh day, and disturbed With
lyrnph. On the ninth clay the vesicle arrives at its
perfect state. At this period, constitutional distur
bance generally takes place to a greater or less de
gree. Subsequently, the vesicle gradually changes
to a dark colored scab,' vslimir finally detaches itself
and falls oft. There remains an indelible slightly
pitted scar.
.!"tevaceination. The question asio the propriety
of revaccination, is a very• important one. It is the
only known method of distinguishing those who re
main protected from those who do not. If succeass
fuf, it establishes a strong presumption that the in
dividual was More or less liable' to contract small
pox.
it is a fact, that most physicians who are liable
to frequent exposures to small pox contagion, are
in the habit of frequently repeat hi vaccination upon .
themselves; even those who have had the small
pox. Ordinarily, revaccination should be practiced
after the first fourteen years, but sooner durihg the
prevalence of small pox.
The most accurate eeriei of olsSetvation, ih Ma
una to the protective powers of vaccination, have
been recorded daring the past few year:, by phßi
cians in different parts of' the world, posessing op-.
portunities peculiarly favorable for their protteentitm i
all of which observations fulls, bear out lenner's
first estimated its value—that when the system
has been placed tally under the influence of the

'only what in some way or other, directly or imme

which terminated kf - marria*: .
On the night of- the 21th of June - iii the year 1811,
a lad :„--re - sidinTio the north of England, dreamed
er brotber, who' was then' with' hih regiment
ih Spain, appealed tnlier saying, " Mary', rdie this
day at Vittoria:" I .l 'ittorik was a town which, pie
to.tie famous battle;was not generally known
even by name in. this country, and this dreamer
among others, had never heard of iOlut, on rising,
she eagerly resorted to a Gazetteeiiti e the purpose
of aseeitaining if mai a place' existzd.. On finding
that it was so, she immediate* , ordered her horse,
and drove to the house of a sister, whoWsided some .
eight or nine miles'oft, and her DA' words on en
tering the rooni . verb; " Flare you heard anything
of John ?"—" No," replied the seeiinitsiittlii, "tit
know that he is dead ! lie appeared to me:last night
iti a dreanyand tett mt`that he.,:tns Vittoria.
I have Dien looking into the - Gazetteer and Atlas,
and I find that there is such a plate; and I am Aire
that he is dead '." And so 'it proved ; the 'young
man died that day Al Vlttoria, and I beliede; on the
field of battle.—[ the Right Side of Katiii-e; a new

CATTE SooErv.—There .is ie . tithe in . fife,.
when distinction is society, ailing from linalth,' fa
mily connections, or occupation, shovhheihstgves
more distinctly, than in youth. We recently heard
a - story—a casein point-khat shows up
this folly.
Some years spice, a young, lact?,•ridihrlaftle for
her modesty and good sense, datighler of a distin
guished lawyer and a Weather dP 6firgress frank
Worcester county, was pladdila young ladiesr
boarding debord, in the neighborhood of this city.
Her, unaffected manners, slldl tiprightliness of
Cliltiacter, soon attached the reteidin and won the
affections of many of the young ladies, who were
lull of their kind offices, until one day they inquired
C:t eat h other the occupation of their fathers. Par
•
fair friend, pereeiving the drift of their inquiries,
gave them to understand thltt her father wawa shoe
maker—when many of tliefft were struclesithhor
ror at her low and vulgar origin, and a change was
at once peiceptible in their conduct towards her.=
She, however, through fully understanding them,
remained quiet. After a whileohe father of this
youhgitady visited the school. As lie was a good
looking man, and as they observed that the Princi
phl, and others, treated him With. great deference
and'kgpect,the scholars were lectto inquire of. their
instructess who he was, did. what was his business
and on being told that hefts the. bather of Miss
H., and that he was a manlier of Congress, they
were filled with arnazeMent, and immediately
mare the attempt to reneW' their attentions as for
merly—but it was too late; she looked cm their
conduct with such perfeet'conterept, that they were
obliged to keep at a respectliffatance, while. those
who had treated her with kindness, without regard
to her father's supposed tlecapatiery were ever af
ter her favorites.
A Goon Wcsrtatt &Mar.—Them are so many
indifferent " Western" ?nitride frbarmg - about, that
it is a real trial to fall on a good one. The follow
ing is of the'li►itet stripe; and he'readers of Mirror
are bound to have it It oceans in'the narrative of
a Yankee' of the sights and w9hdeta he encounter
ed in a Tong...trip' to that CYtebsive country " the
West." He says.=
" I was in a place out west where they had to
watch saw log all' tirlettp them from going
off; and even in titit they sometimes got lieued.—
On one occasion they had drawn a very large lo g
up to the mill; and' Wet** determined tiot to lose it.
They accordingly set two' den to watch it,• and to
make all stint they ttutfe Mounted the log, played
ands and smirked . diekliites by way of pastime;
but when daylight timid; fotlieir utter surpass. the
" gects" had been tftete and 'stole the log ; and left
the two watchtnefr straddling the bark, unconscious
of the theft, Until the owner asked them to take
a look at the inside.
A Tasvcr.unt's SANG Facira-What a pleasant
thing it is to see a - man make the least of. an unit ,
voidable discomfiture, mrtead of boring himself to
death about a.thing that can't be helped. A friend
tells us of a good-natured wagtmvidlingtry ustaipt"
between two distant tcrwnsin Maine, when the ye.
bide was suddenly arrested by impassidde snow
banks, far from any other dwelling than a small
log-tavern, to which the half-frozen passengers with
great difficulty finally waded. All but our wag
were grumbling at their fite; he, however, hailed
the landlord, got himself a toddy; and then asked
" How many folks are there ia this town I" "About
fifteen hundred," answered lienifice. Well, all
I can say is; you've got more snowin proportion to
your population, than any other town in Maine
