That fires the brain and wrings the heart:
* at haunts the guilty mind with fears,
And fills the eyes with bitter tears;
That keeps the memory on the rack,
By bringing recollections back;-
That plays with feelings at thy will, •
And tortures with consummate skill;
Whose task it is, bysmile or frown; ■ -
To lift man up, or drag him down;
Whose stings fire keener far than steel
Which-felons in dark dungeons feel.
The prince niay golden favors shower. ■
Yet he is subject to thy power;
The priest may preach home creed of
gloom,
And sing of bliss beyond the tomb!
But thou canst read his thoughts profound,
Lone Sentinel of sacred ground!
The hero honor’s path may tread.
And his great name world-wjde be spread;
But glory brings not peace of mind,
That jewel rare, go hard to find.
.From thy dominion none can flee,
For mortals all must bow to thee
Tell me, O Conscience! what thou art,
Weird Watchman of the human heart!
Art thou the child of wretched Care, ■
That murders Sleep and mocks Despair—
That fills with pangs the human breast, .
And robs the guilty head of rest—
That.mutely weeps o’er crime untold,
"Where Vice buys Virtue with its gold—
a Whose reoords by some mystic hand '"
Are written in a fadeless land? : ' . ■
Tell me, O Conscience! what thou art,
Weird Watchman of the human heart!
The soul that claims celestial birth,
Finds naught but tainted joys on earth;
Imprisoned in a cell of clay,
That yieldsto laws of swift decay—
Too pure lor such a horrid hell,
Where shapeless fiends in anguish dwell—
The spirit tenant of the heart
Is ever yearning to depart; .•
Like some caged warbler, to be free, "
That it may soar, O God, to thee!
OConscience! xnute, mysterious gilest! ,
Man fain would pluck thee from his breast,
As'ifthou wert bis deadly.'foe,
The only cause of human wo@;
Could he but snatch thy golden crown,
And madly pull thy temple down,
Dark vice would rear her bloody shrines
Where perish hopes and Virtue pines;
Strike but the brave heart-monarch dumb,
And earth a desert would.becbme, 1
When man can feel a conscience clear,
What wrongs and dangers need he fear ?
Calmly at his departing breath.
It takes away the stings from death;
It nobly braves the coward world;
TilTßeason from her throne be hurled;
With all the feelings of the heart
It gently plays a-leading part,' 1
In concert acting with, the soul /
When passions wild brook no control;
Close by life’s purple fountain found,
It guards the sppt as ‘holy ground. ...
TeU me, O Conscience! what thou art,
Weird Watchman of the human heart!

A THBILUSH SEA TAKE,
MagteTng; or, Pbcebe, the Phlcklc—
An Exciting Romance of Land and
W 8t6I!«
CHAPTER FIRST.
Gentle reader, have you ever stood on
the heelnath side of the canal oh one of
those mud January evenings peculiar to
the early autumn, and.watched the sun
rise from his gorgeous couch athwart the
western sky, and listened to catch the
musical warble of distant ctial-heavers,
mingled with the criesof a ragged canal- 7
hriver encouraging a pair Of 'attenuated
•calico mules? (Ifyou don’t-remember
whether you have or not, take time to
consider, and inform us through the
post-office, inclosing a stamp.) It was
-at such a time, and on such a spot, that
two solitary youths might have been
seen walking arm in arm in that
vicinity and about that time. Need we
tell , you that one was fair, and the
daughter of poor though wealthy
parents,and that the other wasn’t, being
her lover.
* -x- - - *
After considerable time spent in re
-flection, it appears rather necessary that
■we should,because yon wouldn’t know it
if we didn’t. The young man had seen
but nineteen Springs, yet did he urge
his suit with the passionate ardor of one
who had attained the ripe age of four
score years and ten, and although his
did not exceed one hundred and
"twenty-five pounds, he couldn’t have
plead more eloquently had he weighed a
ton.'
The maiden, she was fair. Toothbrush
handles could not compare with her
teeth in whiteness, and raven’s wing
iiad no more business by the, side of her
glossy curls than a stove brush. Can we
wonder that the young man swore he
would cheerfully catch the measles for
her sake, and expressed a willingness to
have the scarlet fever a second time to
prove his devotion? , ,
Alas! tlje perversity of woman. Al«
though loving him devotedly, she re
plied to his ar dent declarations by Bitting
down and writing him
a letter of introduction to the marines,
to whom she recommended him to report
that narrative. Driven to frensy (in an
open hack) by such trifling, Caleb—for
that was his name—turned so red in the
face that he tore all the buttons off his
-vest, and frothed at the mouth to such
an extent that he split a bran new coat
down, the,back. .Then casting upon her
a look of unutterable anguish through a
pocket telescope, he cried:
“Falseme,farewellfor-r-ever!' I thxe l w
a double somersault backward, and dis
appeared behind a high board fence.
Phoebe Ann pbainted.
CHAPTER SECOND.
We left Pheebe Ann in a swoon; or
rather Caleb did. ; As soon as conscious
ness came Phoebe Anh came too, and
then she remembered with a pang that
she had driven Caleb away. She called
aloud—“Oa-leb! Ca-leb!’’ But no Caleb
answered. However well other Calebs
might answer for others, no one but her
Caleb -'would answer for her, and he
couldn t because he wasn’t within hear
ing. . Where had he-gone -
A thought struck- hbr; A' (coward
thought, to strike a woman.) She rev
called his love for the briny deep, which
induced him when a mere' -ladl'toirdn ■
away from home to drive on the White
water canal. Then hiß father,- humoring
his passion for riding mountain waves
and climbing giddy masts, procured for
himil thToughhis influence with the Pre
sideht of the United States, the appoint
ment of Third Assistant Lock Tender.
-n^ b i at L more natural .” thought * the
Phoebe bird, “than for Caleb to follow
*ns youthful passion and go for a sailor?’ ’
THE, DAILY EVENING ; -TRTPLTi: SHRB^
Her resolution was taken. What was it?
We shall see. '
CHAPTER THIRD. -
“WHAT It!"
, Before explaining the meaning of this
thrilling ejaculation; let us takea brief
review of rtbings -at- the period of our
story. Did Bourbon ruledFranoean'd
Kentucky; Gin swayed the sceptre of
Holland, and Sweden was governed a
food deal by the price of Swede’s Iron.
Vales was becoming celebrated- for her
prints, known all over the world a# the
*•?Prints of Wales.” Columbus, having
dompleted his labors by discovering
Sandusky, had retired to Put-in-Bay,
' and Johnny Morrissey had been elected
to the Continental Congress.,
; Our readers being now thoroughly
posted in regard to the condition of
things, we will proceed to inform them
what’s what in another chapter.
:■! CHAPTEK FOURTH.'
; When Caleb left the phickle Phoebe
it was with the determination never to
see her more. He would be a wanderer.
He would land on other lands,and climb
foreign climed—he would go and be an
ancient mariner. Filled with this des
perate resolve, he put a box of paper col
lars in his valise, and started for the
river. A gallant tug lay at the landing
and this he boarded, requesting to see
the Captain. A sailor, whose voice, was
deeply bronzed by exposure to the Tropic
of Barleycorn; appeared at the maintop
mizzen gangway, and invited him to
walk below. ■ :>..> •
1 When Caleb entered the cabin,die was
struck with the singularly -youthful ap
pearance of the Captain. He was about
to tell him that he had come to ship be
fore the—wall,: smoke-etaek, . when the
supposed Captain raised his cap, and a
shower ofravencufls fell iiponhis shoul
ders.
“What ! ” exclaimed'the lover, as a
gleam of recognition flashed across his
brain, “Phoebe Ann 1”
“Caleb!"
j They rushed' into- each other's arms.
After an embrace, which caused a ther
mometer in the cabin to rise to 100 de
grees in the shade, explanations ensued.
She had divined his purpose ' to go for a
sailor, and resolved to thwart it. -The
captain of the tug being an aunt of hers,
had allowed her to be captain for the
day, and chance had done the rest.
Phoebe Ann was penitent, Caled for
giving, and that very day they agreed
before a minister to share the tug of life
“together.
; THE END.

The Poet Percival.
Professor Ticknor tells me that, while
a guests at his house in Boston at this
time, his ways were peculiar.; Sitting
at the table opposite Mrs. Ticknor, he
would converse with her. husband and
sometimes with her with the greatest
fluency,but with his eyes downcast upon
-the plate, always avoiding the. glance of
Mrs. Ticknor’s eye; and this was his
habit always among females. Thesame
shrinking from women was also seen in
the drawing-room. And atthe homes.of
his two Boston friends he was .probably
more at. home than any where else. I
have been- told that-this dropping of the
eye (while he apparently .saw .every
thing) was'observable as ne walked the
street, wrapped in his camlet cloak, “the
observed of all observers:'? While on
his Geological Survey of Connecticut he
was ofteiPobliged to pick up a meal or a
lodging where he could; and his dress
was not always such as indicated his
character and position.
Throughout nfe he never polished his
shoes, and his pants and hat - generally
showed that they had been - used the
fulltime of service. Clad in such a
habit he presented himself one ! evening
at the door of a young ladies’ seminaiy,
asking, as he was some distance from
the village, for support and a night’s
lodging. The lady Principal met him
at the door, and was not inclined to
grant his request. He urged it, how
ever, as he was tired and hungry; and
she finally yielded, following him to the
kitchen, and remaining while he ate his
supper. Observing him more minutely,
she thought he looked more intelligent
than common beggars, and engaged
in conversation with him, when she
found that he could talk upon a variety
of subjects. The conversation at length
turned upon poetry, and the lady, after
speaking of other poets, mentioned Per
eival, and went oh to expresi her enthu
siastic admiration of his poetry, to the
somewhat startled yet quiet listener*
when checking herself she asked, “Do
you know Percival ? Have you read.his
soetry ?” To which the stranger replied,
n his gentle, lisping tone, “I—am—Mr.
Percival, and I sometimes write poetry.”
It is heedless to say that he -was gene
rously entertained that.night, and that
the resources ■of his hostess were ex
hausted to do him honor.— Ward's Life
of Percival.'
No Longer a National Drink.—
The Council Bluffs, lowa, Nonpareil
says: In the recently published case of
the State of lowa ya. Baldy, one of the
grounds of appeal was the misconduct
of a juror in retiring from the jury room,
in; charge of the bailiff, for a necessary
purpose; and who, while -thus separated
balance of the j ury, went to a
grocery and purchased some tobacco,
and procured and drank a glass ,of ale;
For this misconduct the court reversed
the judgement, and remanded the case
•for a new trial. In delivering the
opinion of the.court, Justice Cole took
occasion to say: “That at common law
the jury were kept'together without
meat, drink, fire or - candle, unless by
permission of the Judge, but that rule
has been so far modified in this country,
that the jury may, of course, and with*
put any special permission from the
Judge, have water, fire and lights, but'
the permission of the Judge is requisite
for meal or board. , But that at no time
has it ever been declared that even with
the permission of the Judge, could the
jury have spirituous liquors, or, cider,
which at png'time was)considered as a
national drink,but now happily byreason
of its stimulating, qualities, gone into
comparative disuse.” -
