correspondent yestezday. • •
A Few Word. to Coirreapondente.
• We have on hand a vast amount of' rhyme,—we will
not cell it "poetry," fot poetry is an inspiration of the
soul—which Is not quite good enough for publication in
the Morning Rosr, and yet a little too good to be corand t•
ted to the Semis. Nearly all the "poetry" that is writ
ten, Is the production of young men, who have "fallen
in love," and are therefoth apt to take solitary rambles
through shadowy bowers and along brook sides, - and
gaze at the. moon at unseasonable hours. They throw
together a few Lines that jingle, and despatch them off
theirthvorite newspaper, very modestly requesting the
Editor to "make all necesiaryeotteetions." We have
before us two pages of. rhyme, which are accompanied
by a note from the author's father, in which he says:
;'The foregoing is the first attempt at poetry by my son,
a youth of only 19 years. By giving It a plaie in your
popularpaper; you will greatly encourage him," A.c.—.
If this youth does not turn his attention to something
more useful and profitable, we are afraid that he is a
candidati (or the Lunatic Asyluin. Another correspond
ent says, "1 enclose you a few lines, whist you will
please comet, andtasert in the next number of your ex
cellent paper." We have no time to spend in such un
profitable business, young man. Still another corres
pondent says: " The enclosed venies To the Moon,' are
my first arempt at poetry, you will please ropy them of,
and print them in the Saturday Post, and send me 2S co•
pies." Modest and generons youth! Better get the Man
in the Maws to copy off and correct your laciub rations--
our time is' employed in more agreeable pursuits.
A few words to correspondents : Do not suppose be
cause you can make some lines jingle together that you
are therefore Poets and Anthers. you should burn these
" finn attempts," or lay them aside for at 'least seven .
years, antltben, perhaps, you will discover that they
possessed very little merit when first written. The most
distinguished Authors the world ever produced, publish
ed none of their early productions. Gnat, whose sub
lime " ElegY" is universally admired, spent seven years
in composing that glorioui produx lion. EDMUND Sous.
'the great Eowunn Brice, kept his world-renowned es
sayon "The Sublime and Beinitiful" seven years before
It was published-4 valuable tenon (says Airs. Hall) to
'Vise who rush into print end mistake the desire for oil-
Vichy, for the power which bestows immortality._
Elections by Om 19. And C. Councils.
The Select and Common Councils met yesterday
at the now Court House, for the purpose of electing
City Officers. The result will be fond in the Local
column. The Whigs, who have the majority, met
on Monday evening, in Caucus, or "Tin Pan,” as
they call it in Ohio, and selected gentlemen belong+
leg' to their Own party, to fill the various offices.
They made clean wort of it, nominating no man
who was suspected of having ■ drop oh Democratic
blood in his veins! Wo . soppose neighbor RIDDLIC
thinks this was very "tolerant" on the part of his
political friends. •

• From the Wellsburg Thrall;
Plonk-rood from Pittsburgh to Wells.
We commend to the attention of our readers, the
prodeedings of citizens of Washington county, in'res
ference to a proposed Plank-road to connect Pitts-
burgh and Virellsburg. We.halo no definite idea
of the route contempl ited -; but presume that the de.
sign is to intersect 'at Independence one of the Turn
plke roadi already carried to the. State line; or, in
other, words, to prolong those roads:in the direction
of Pittsburgh. This should have boon/done long
ago; and it has been a matter of wonder that the
western portion of Washington county should so suf
fer itself to get in the backgroond as regards ita.
,•
prosements.
As to the necessity, and practicability of such a
road, vre pruome there is no question. There is in
all this reg i o n, would command as.much business or pay as
well as this; the trade and travel over . a good road
between these points would necessarily be immense.
By a road not more than forty miles, it is practicable
to pbviate eighty miles of the very worst river navi
gation; ,and to secure the local buainess of a wide
and wealthy country. It would command the mills
upon almost all the streams between Waned Pillow
burgh. It , will be made too, if those who hash the
matterik hand only determine it shall be done.
We welcOine the 'Committee to Welleburg, lid
can assure them of the cordial cooperation of our
citizens.

THE niovEL PILEACIIEH
We love to contemplate the character of a Mos
del Preacher, not only because it is truly, grand
and beautiful, but because it is,a curiosity
seen by mortals bare below. We look ',Tim it
with feelings of admiration and delight, and, as
we gaze and reflect that it is more scarce than the
gold of India and California, we wonder why
Barnum; with his remarkable sagacity, has not
yet secured its: possessor and exhibited bin) before
the public. He would tbus make a princely for
tune. Jenny Lind "would be forgotten;, Tom
Thumb would become, it possible, smaller in the
,estimation of the world; the. Woolley Horse
would riot - earn his Oats ;- and the Chinese Jun •
would be sent back as a useless thing to his Ce•
lestial Highness, the Brother of the Sun and Moon.
The Model Preacher can only be described by
negatives. He never preaches what he does not
practice. He never uses religion as a mask to
conceal his inward rottenness. He never pro.
claims from his sacred pulpit the beauties of char
ity, and then,-returning home, "spurns the poor
petitioner from his door." He never advocates the
cause of temperance in the morning, and retires
to rest in the evening " deeply, darkly, beautifully
blue." He never tells his hearers to be humane,
and then turns his back on the unfortunate. He
never informs them that generosity is a virtue, and
then sues his poor tenants the day..iiftei their rent
bible. To the Clergymen of othei persuasions
he never says, Stand aside, for I am holier than
thou. He never courts the s o ciety of the rich,
and avoids that of the poor.. He never, spaniel.
like, cringes at the feet of the wealthy, in order
to receive a small annuity, and at the same time .
neglects to administer the consolations of religion
to the sick. and dying. He• never holds priyer
meetings in the mansions of the affluent only, and
looks upon the poor man with the cold eye of in'.
difference. He never forgets to look upon himself
as a Karr. He accepts no favors from wealthy
ignorance. He never flatters, cajoles and fawns
to benefit himself. He never tells the ignorant
and credulous that they possess intelligence and
sagacity, in order to eat their good dinners, or,
what Is far better, to obtain an article called by a
poet and divine," vile yellow dust." Wisely eon
aidering that all men have not the patience of
Job, he never preaches more then three quarters
of an hour, and never deceives his hearers by say.
ingdfinally".twenty minutes before the conclu
sion of his sermon. In a city , containing one
hundred churches and eighty thousand inhabit.
ants, he never says that t still another place of
worship is of more importance than the erection
of an Insane Asylum or the building of a House
of Refuge. As . a close observer of men and
things, he never ventures the assertion that "the
pulpit is more influential than the press;" and
never for a moment imagines that more persons
listen to his sermons than read our extensively
circulated newspapers. In dress, he studies severe
simplicity, and attaches but little if any import.
ance to fashionablpmade clothes, cambric hand.
kerchiefs, and spotless linen. He has sense enough
to know that aaah things possess no interest ex
cept in the eyes of the silly fop or the young lady
who has just finished her education: '
Were we to look for a MOdel Preacher, we fear
we, could only find him hi Oliver Goldsmith's Dr.
serial Village:
A man he was to all the country dear,
And pawing rich, with forty pounds a year;
Remote from towns be ran hug godly race,
Nor e'er bad changed nor wished to change his p lace ;
Unskilful he to fawn or seek for power, -
Bydactrines (ashion'd to the varying; hour; -
Par ether alms his heart had learned to prize.
More bent to raise the wretched than to rise ;
His /10010 was known to all the.vag rant train—
He chid their wanderings, but relieved their pain; .
The long remember'd beggar was his guest,
Whose beard descending swept his aged breast ;
The ratted spendthrift, now no longer proud. •
cisiuvd kindred there, and had his claims aligned ;
The broken soldier kindly bade to stay,
Sat by hie fire and talk'd the night away—
Wept o'er die wounds or tales of sorrow done.
Shoalder'd his crutch and showed how fields w're woo
Pleased with his guests, the good man learn'd to glow,
And quite tbrgcrt their vices in their woe ;
Careless their merits OT their faults to scan,
His pity gave ere charity began.
....
At church, with meek and unaffected grace,
His looks adorn'd the venerable place t
Truth from his lips pretraird with double sway,
And fools who came to scoff; remain'd to pray.
The service put. around the pions man,
With steady zeal each honest rustic ran ;
E'en children follow'd with endearing wile,
And pluck'd his gown, to share the good man's smile.
The Fugitive Law in Pittiburgh.
Under the above head the Wellaburg Herald of
the 17th thei speakt or the case or Roe°, recently
noticed in the Post e
Mr. E. M. P. Roan, of this place, recovered der a
leg tho last week $2OO as the consideration for free
dom papers furabbed by the boy George White, who
ran away some three years ago, and apprenticed
himself to G. Vashon, a barber ofFittaburgh. Since
then, negotiations have been going on at different
times. On the passage of the Fugitive I aw, George
left the city ; and n correspondence came on be*
tween bin friends in Pittsburgh and Mr Rose, result
ing in the aubscription and payment or, $2OO as
above. This is another instance of the law abiding
disposition of the people of the northern States ;
and of the regard of the people of Pittsburgh in
particular, for the Constitution. This is, we believe,
the first fugitive case in that city.

CARMINATIVE BALSAM is an invaluable Medicine
in OA country in Bowel Complaints, and has been used
in all oar Missions with the most gratifying success. I

medicine foxing Liver Complaint and pain in the side,
that I have ever used. They are in ;great demand, and
we are entirely at of them,. We need five hundred
bozes of them. Bro. Beecher says we could use a
thousand boxes yearly among oar pecamo

ving my own son. During my travels among the church
es the past season,l found a whole village suffering an
der • prevailing Influenza intended 'with Coughs of a
most violent character. 1 often regretted i had not had
a dozen or two of YOUR EXPECTORANT to admin

effects, that it would have been lust the thing for those
poor people. I presume you have not hitherto had an
idea to what an extent your medicines are used in all
