BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.
IT I. W. ctrnlrcraTt.
true to yourself--though the struggle is hard,
And the contest be doubtful at best,
Let no labor fatigue, no exertion retard,
ICo failue one effort arrest.
`Though poverty shackles each project that rise,
Though adversity frown for a term,
Misfortune is only success in disguise,
To the heart that is; steadfast and firm.
Let affliction o'erspread its dark curtain of gloom,
And keen disappointment succeed ;
Yet the cloud is but transient,for even the tomb,
The free spirit can never impede,
Mind cannot be still, though matter is dead,
Nor sleep with the body behind,
For the soul by corruption no longer is led,
When to sense nä more is confined.
Rest not then; but forward press dauntlessly on, '
Nor despair until beats the last pulse;
By blighting discouragement ne'er be overthrown,
Till death shall the heart-strings convulse:
Let slander, the poison-tongued, sully the name,
And jealousy strive to outvie,
But an innocent heart is worth mote than all fame,
And integrity never can die.
Mary Mclntyre has 'Arrived
BY T. W. THOMAS, EfQ
On my way to St. Louis, safe and sound I arriv
ed at Louisville, on the steamer Madison ; ion'
years agorae. The falls of the Ohio, at Louisiille,
Were so low, that the captain resolved to go round
by the canal, which was cut to obviate the neces
sity of unloading vessels to lighten them, so as to
permit their passage over the falls. At 10 o'clock,
A. M., we reached Louisville, and the captain told
me, upon inquiry, as I wished to pay my respects
to a friend or two in that hospitable city, that the
boat would 'not leave mull 1 o'clock, as helad to
take on board a number of Scotch immigrants, with
their baggage, who had been brought thus far from
Pittsburg on a boat that was returning. I therefore
had ample time to make a morning call or two in .
passing, a pleasure of which I generally avail my
self on our western waters, whenever the boat on
which I happen to be a wayfarer• stops where I
haveiicquaintances
I resolved to pay my respects to " Amelia," the
swyttest poetess of our land, in whose society I
speni a most agreeable hour, which I would wit
have prolonged, but the admonition that the
boat started at one o'clock rose to my memory.
I therefore repaired to the wharf half an hour be
fore one ; determined to be in time. Lo! as .1 apt ,
proached the wharf, I beheld the Madison lumber-
tag along in the canal, stopping, every moment as
it to take, breath, being in fact retarded by some
obstacle or other, which she could not surmount
without the aid of poles and ropes and a fresh start.
My only remedy was tci ride round to Lockport,
where the canal terminate% by passing into the riv
er, and there wait. an indefinite period for the arri
val of the steamer; or get on- board a row boat and
have-myself transported after her in the canal, and
thus reach her, which I was assured could be ef
fected in half an hour at furthest.
I accordingly feed two youths who were pad
dling about in a boat, to convey me to the Madi
son. I. was soon seated astern, and they pulled
away for the 'steamer. We soon entered the ca
nal, but owing to the waves the steamer threw in
her confined track, and her lumbering movement
from side to side, it was with difficulty and delay
that we approached her.
The Scotch immigrants were what are called on
the western waters, deck passengers—of that class,
almost all of whom are very poor, bat often vitly
respectable, who in the packet ships in crossing
the Atlantic take a steerage passage. Among the
immigrants on the Madison were many females,
among whom there were some young and beauti-
ful ones. ,
As I ripped out a strong western oath, ( am as,
hamed to write it, for I have not pronounced one
in a long time,) at the captain, for breaking his
word with me, and leaving before the hour, one of
these Scotch lassies said to me imploringly—for
our boat had trot immediately under the stem of
the steamer, where she stood—
"Oh! sir, please don't swear so."
Struck with the tone and beauty of the Scotch
maiden ; my impulse of anger changed to one of
adoration, and T instantly said to her—
Well, I won't again—and you must be like
Steme's angel when my uncle Toby swore ; yon
must drop a tear upon the word in the high arch
iveg, and 'blot it out forever.
As I said this, I stretch ed
u out my hand • to reach
the railing of the s team er, but failed, as our boat
gave a lurch at the moment. Again I made the ef
fort, and would have failed again, had not the pret
ty Scotch girl leaned over the vessel's side and giv . -
;. en me t i er hand.
Thus assisted, in a moment more I was on the
steamer's deck, beside my fair assistant. I thank
ed her with all the grace I could muster, which she
received with a blush; and said :
"But you forget, sir, that ray uncle Toby's oath
was to save life."
" But it was unavailing," I replied, "yet your
fair hand stretched out to me, may have saved
mine : therebre, as I live and may err,
Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all My sins remembered.'"
" Poor Opbelia !" ejaculated the Scotch girPsacl
ly ; " she went crazy for love."
" Ah," thought I, " here is Intelligence, as well
as beauty, taking a steerage passage—and not the
first time, for which poveity they have been com
panions before, and love, -too, I suspect, is no stran
ger to this party."
Impressed with these reflections, T enteted into
conversation with my new made acquaintance, and
soon discovered that she Was remarkably intelli
gent. as well as beautiful. It seemed to me that
hair waf never braided on a fairer [NOW*

Her neck and shoulders were exmiisitely tuined,
and added to the charm of features which were de
cidedly patrician. There was a naivette in her
manner, too, that bad caught its tone from a posi
tion, I thought, evidently above her present one.—
She had also nothing of the Scotch in her! accent,
which was broad enough on the lips of her - C=2..
panions Though she was comparatively poor,
there was not only great neatness in her Mimi:4e
toilet, but a style that was above the "tlay-die
gin." Serena little trinkets upon her petson—n
ring, a breastpin, and particulaXy a maisive gold
cross, attached to a handsome gold chabt--etract
ed my attention, especially the latter, and indicated
not only from their value, but the manner in which
they were worn, her superiority to her companions,
as well as the - fact, to my mind, that she war a Ro
man Catholic. Her companions were rigid Pres
byterians, I soon learned, and my fair assistant into
the boat, and reprover, did not attend, I observed,
when an old Scotchman in the afternoon read. the
Bible the group of immigrants gathered, about him,
but withdrew to the side of the boat, and looked
over pensively into the water. .
She interested me much. Being myself, at that
time, a wearer of a large pair of whiskers, and an
imperial to match, my humble travelling compan.
ions' were rather shy of me; but soon observing
that my fellow passengers above stairs knew me
well, and that I was not unpopular among them,
the Scotch folks grew rapidly familiar and frank with
I learned, from a solemn and remarkably pious
old Prefibyterian, the history of the beautiful Scotch
gill, whose name was Mary Mclntyre. He s'ghed
'heavily when he told it. Her father was an hum
ble- farmer of the better sort, and lived in Ayrshire.
An old Roman Catholic nobleman who dwelt in
Edinburgh, had a daughter who became a:cll:paint
ed with Mary, and treated her as an humble friend:
When the young lady returned to Edinburgh, she
took Mary with her, who was affianced to a young
miller in the neighborhood, named McClung. In
fulfilment of an old Scotch custom, which Burns
and his Highland Mary practised, they at parting
broke a piece of silver over a running brook, and
on a Bible plighted their everlasting faith to each
other.
In the process of events, Mary, to the horror of
het lover's faith, became a Roman Catholic. Her
lover wrote her what she thOught a harsh and un
called-for letter on the subject. Her maiden pride,
as well as her religious prejudices, were aroused,
and she returned him his letter without a word of
comment. Both were stung to the quick. The lo
ver, though he went to Edinburgh, left - for the Unit
ed States without calling to see her, and wandered
away up the Missouri river. Mary grew very thin
and absent-minded. and exhibited all the symptoms
of a maiden sick for love. Three years passed
Mary's friend had died, and she had returned to
her father's, the while wasting away, when lo ! a
package came from the far western wilds, from
Mary's lover.
He implored her to forgive him for his conduct
to her, in the humblest terms; and in the strongest
he expressed the continuance of his passionate leve.
He stated that he had thought of nothing else but
Mary since he left Scotland : that knowing every
Sunday that he was worshipping in the Catholic
Church, he went to one himself that he might wor
ship with her, and that he had become a Catholic,
and sent her the antique cross she wore in testimo
ny of his love and of his faith. He furthermore
told Mary that he was doing well in the New
World : that if she said so he would go for her, but
that it would ruin his business, (he was a true
Scotchman,) and concluded by begging Mary to
come to him. These immigrants were on the point
ofleaving Scotland. Many of them were Mary's
especial friends, and she determined to embark
with them. •
How I felt interested in the Scotch girl! In proud
saloor.s since, in gay and wild Washington, I have
many a time and often felt all the impulses of my
fitful and wayward nature aroused, l and,concentrat.
ed to please some dark-eyed - one from the sunny
south, or some lair descendant of the Puritans, or
may be some dame of high degree from over the
waters, cynosures of fashion in the capitol, but re
member, I saw not a woman yet 'who more struck
my fancy than this bonnie lassie fmm the land of
Burns. She could tell me so many things tradition
al in Ayrshire about Bums and his birth-place,—
aud then admired him so, and could sing his songs
so well ! We had a long passage, and she kept
herself aloof from the other passengers, I was all
day and half the night by her site. She half made
me a Catholic. I have since, with uncertain steps
and some' short comings, been trying to filmy con
duct Where diy first faith bird bope and" heart are
fixed, in the humble ways of Melhodism; and 1
know that Mari will think none the less of me
when she sees the tome. Then I was careless
of everything but the enjoyment of the hour that
was passing over me. It was just this time of year,
(May,) and the beautiful Ohio never vas more
beautiful. How many simple and fituik questions
she asked me ! and as she did not know that I
knew her secret, I could so plainly trace in all her
thoughts the image abet . lover,lhe controllinT, , , one,
as the bright moon above us was the contrcilling
light.. Several times, when she knew not that I
observed her, I witnessed her devotion ; and I
thought, as I saw her clasp the crucisfa, her lover's
gift, and pray, that some earthly adoraticia mingled
with her heavenly yaws.

One day, as we Fa chatting together with more
than usual reservedness, I observed :,..•‘ Well, you
will soon marry some rich American!"
" No," she instantly replied, "I prefer a poor
Scotehman." I must hare felt a pang of jealous
of her love at the time, for I rem
" Mary, you have asked me what t was
thedifference between a Scotch Woman and an
American. I will tell you: an American would
make tier lover come to her; a Scotch woman, as
you know. would come to her lover."

and rising from my side, she:lll4nd at me, and
said—" Sir, you have no tight thus to wound a wo.
man's heart" and, burattng into teats, she walked
away from me.
Whatever may have been my misureltenandinp
with men—and , they have . been few—l certainly
never bad then bad one *MO* woman, and; my
uncourteous and walled for remark sting my own
pride as a gentleman as much as I had wounded
Mary's womanly nature. I. instantly followed her,
an I used every Won to reconcile her, but without
effect. She Walked "away from me with • a haugh
ty inclination of the head, and entered her bumble
apartment.
I learned that one Of her thief objections to her
voyage was this coming toberlover instead of wilt
him. Her refined education had taught her this
refinement of womanly del;eacy. I could not for
give myself for thewound I had inflicted on Mary's
feelings, and I soon began to feel that I should not
forgive her for not forgiving me.
At bun we approached a paint not far below St.
Louis, near by Jefferson Barracks, where the Scotch
immigrants were to embark, and they Were all beis
de and preparation. I sat smoking a cigar on the
guards and watching them. Mary in the certainty
of meeting her lover, was with a natural snidely
practising all the arts of the toilet, to make her min
ty wardrobe do its beet. I mild see her arranging
her hair and shawl, and consultingotie.of the-Scotch
girls as to their arlusnment, whom opinions, but for

ed; and the others were so busied with themselves
and their own concerns, that theythought qol. of Ma
ry or her lover.
She took a seat on her trunk, on the shoal , amid
the baggage, which the immigrants were getting
oft, and looked the very picture of despaar—as,
with her hands clasped in her lap, she gazed now
here, now there, as if she thought that from some
point or other be must come; but be came not..
My provocation at Mary for the unforgiveness
was gone. I arose from the guards of the boat,
threw my cigar overboard, and went ashore. I had
often been at this point, on pleasure excursions
from St. Louis, and I saw several persons that I
knew. I went up to a young Frenchman, whose
employment was calling wool to St. Louis, and af
ter a profusion of compliments between us, for he
was an old acquaintance, I asked him it he knew
a Sco c.hman named McClung,* miller, in the neigh.
borhood.
" Well, Monsieur—ah,
" How far from here does he live I" I asked.
" Ah—about two mile."
"1 will give you a five dollar gold piece if you
will mount a fleet horse and go lo him and tell him
that -the Scotch emigrants have arrived"—and I
showed him the glittering coin.
"Instanter, Monaicur," he replied, with a danc-
ing eye.
" Stop r I exclaimed; and taking one of my
cards from my pocket, I wrote on it with pen and
ink, which he got for me from the boat, the simple
words, " Mary Mclntyre has arrived."
I saw my Frenchman, in a few minutes more, at
the top of his speed, on a Canadian pony, dashing
like mad through the woods. As 1 walked towards
the boat, I met Mary's eye: but she instantly avert
ed it, as if she thought I was taking pleasure in het
grief at her not - finding on the spot to welcome her,
the lover she had " tome to." What strange Imes
tures we are! I felt a proud thrill through my
heart. No, my bonnie lass, thought I, I'U have •
braver revenge upon you than that—you shall for•
give me. ,
Time flew on—the baggaie was all landed—we
were preparing to depart, when some °nee:claim
ed--
"Look yonder! there's some chaps coming to
the boat, or-else they're racing it, for they've got
all steam up."
We looked and sure enough two horsemen were
bounding towarde us as if with such intent. One
was my Frenchman, so „I supposed the other was
McClung; and soon I knew it, for I amid see his
miller's clothes.
The whole boat was excitement, and the captain

Erma-rum Wives.—From the time of Romulus
down to the present day, the difficulty of inducing
females to emigrate to new regions is sensibly felt.

consecutive ideas beyond the daily routine of his
Sum ; a railroad and locomotive he had never
seen, and as to Om patter of bap/sons, they were
altogether such contrivances as ha had never
dreamed nor heard of. Mounted span his old sor.

to Pennsylvania .
The crow had proceedel old Nick some few
days in his visit, and-he bustled along to join. her.
Jogging along- quietly and unsuspecting, not far
from his journey's end, the old farmer and the old
mare were crawling up the slope of a hill, when a

a thing could he see, pave the hill on which he
stood transfixed, and a few-old stumps close by.
To these old stumps, West, the arronant —who
was some hundreds of feet in the air, kW' over the
Druclurian—wished to fasten his grappling iron and
stop his balloon ; as night was approaching, and no
better spot foul& be easily found, there and then
West was extremely anxious to alight. But the
old fellow and his horse materially interierred with
this arrangement. Time we evarytbiajjast then ;
