Ain—'Old 'Rosin the Boto,' Since the Ship Pennsylvania hair righted And rides o'er the waves stiff arid true, ' We must hunt u p a gallant commander To take charge t the Harrison crew, That the Locos liaye had her in ;keeping Her damaged condition will show, But the people still put her in order With their gallant commander, ;we know : Then freemen display your fair banner,. In harmony close up your ranks. And place at the helm of your frigate The friend of the people, John Banks.' Since the Locos have had this fair vessel, They've proved but poor sailors indeed: They have eaten 'up all the provision And left none for a season of need. The barnacles stick to her Whim. The miidew . has rotted her sails, Her mainm ast is sprung by the tempest, Her mainsale is rent by the gales; - But her timbers are sound as cast iron, For which we giVe heav'n our thanks, And she'll Sail well as ever when guided By the people's commander,' John Banks. When the Locos endeavored to nail her, They eteer'd her through mist arid through fog, They run against banks without number And never coulderhow a fair log: They forgot the good chart Constitution, Their compass they overboard threw, They mortgaged the ship and her cargo, And turned off the best of the crew : The rats tell to gnawing her timbers, • •The worms fell to boring her planks, Her chain pumps were choked beyond working, So the people call out for John Banks. They've got a commander, one Porter, A land lubber as 'you May be sure; When this bungler was put in commission The frigate was light and secure, When the tempest beat down on , her qaarters, To break open the stores was his plan, Cries Davy 'she' going to pieces, Let every one save what he can. But the people they cried out to Davy, ' You renegade, leave off your pranks, Just hold by the mainstay one minute, We'll bring you relief with John Banks. He'll carry her into harbour And shelter her safe from the storm : While her bold gallant crew will career her In economy's dry dock, reform. New shipwright he'll put in commission, Her tackle and stores he'll renew, And the skalkers will all gel a stringing With the crack of a rope's end or two. Then fftmen draw up in close order, The pirates drive off from your flanks, And !ratty for . Gild and your country. And the friend of the people, John Banks. Now who's for a earl in the frigate With Banks as commanderqin•chief, Let us join heart and hand at The, halyards And give our poor comrades relief. Huzza for the old 'Pennsylvania, How gallant she'll look when She sails, And she safe will return to her station In spite of political gales. And when she rounds to in the harbor, To the bottom her chain cable clanks In a full flowing bowl of hard cider, We'll drink the commander, John Banks. Foreign Items.

I shouted when' I first saw it; I have 'hived it ever since;ind when I die I hope I shall be buried on its hanks. On a certain day I engaged • to: go down the riverio &mucky with Capt. Ward, as he was removing his family from the East. The: journey was long, and at best would be tedious. I was a kind of pilot, for I was well ac quainted with the river, and all its points of danger. The country was full of Indians, and no settlement of any note had been made in Ohio. The whites and Indians too, were constantly making war upon atch other. Ido not know which was the most to blame : the whites killed the most and the Indians were the most cruel. We purchased an old crazy, square• built boat, between forty and fifty feet in length, and about ten wide. We had a heavy load, furniture, baggage, horses, pigs, fowls, ploughs, be sides nearly a dozen people. These consisted of the captain, his wife and children, a widowed sister and sou, besides several men to manage the boat. When we left, we were fearful lest the Indians should' attack us from the shore,but we knew by keeping in the middle of the river, we should be beyond the reach of their rifles, or could be in a minute. Thus we passed on for several days, until we supposed we were beyond the haunts of the Indians. One day, just at sunset, after we had become tired of rowing, we let our-boat drift lazily and carelessly along the current. We were just getting ready, to put up for the night. The mother was promising the children a good run on shore. The widow was getting out provisions and making preparations for our supper. The captain and his nephew had hold of the oars, and moved (be i m just enough to allow me to steer the boat. Rogers,' said the captain, suppose we put in this side of the point, and tie our lioat to one of these big trees and there encamp for the night.' It's a right good place, captain, and I like it. Besides, a . few moths ago I thought that I heard wild turkeys ovefthe hill, and should like to have one for our supper. So we put in towards the shore, and got within fifty yards of that point, when I heard a stick crack as if broken by the foot. A deer,' said the captain. , No, no, I shouted, row, row, or we are all dead.' At that instant down rushed scores of Indians to the shore, with a shout that made the hills across the river echo it back again. The murderous greatures rushed down to the water's edge and presented their guns and opened a heavy fire-upon us. In an in stant the young man snatched his nfie and raising at full length fired at the nearest Indian, who had a shabby head dress. The Indian fell, and so did the young mtin at the same instant. As he fell the Cap tain brought the boat around still nearer. The In dians yelled, the women screamed, the horses were falling,, and plunging, and bullets were flying thick around us. Yet above all the voice of Captain Ward rose cool— , Rogers, take my oar.' I took it, and he at the same instant seized a plank and rowed to such a good purpose that in a few mo menta we were out in the stream, beyond the reach of their rifles. We knew they bad no canoes, be ing on a hunting excursion and we were safe. But oh ! what a sight ! the horses were all dead or dy ing, one child was badly wounded, the boat halt filled with water, and the young man in his blood at the bottom of the, boat. By this time, the coolness of the Captain was all gone. He lay down by the side of his nephew whom he loved as a son, and exclaim ed, 0 John, John ! 0 Lord have mercy, I have brought the poor boy to his death ! ' But the wid owed mother. She was pale as a sheet, but she came to her son, raised his head in her lap, and opened his bosom where the blood was still coming. He was yet eli: t e r y" ---- John,' said ein a sweet voice, as if speaking to a babe, , John, do you know the ' My mother,' said ho in a whisper. , Can you swallow, John I' said she, putting her hand over, and dipping some water from the river. He tried, but could not. My Bon, do you know that yen are dying?' Yes, mother—but are you hurt ' No, no—bUt don't think of me. Can you pray L. , with the heart now, my dear son ' God be merciful to me, a sinner, for the sake Jesus Christ ! ' said the mother, forhe was gone. She bent over him a few minutes, as if in silent prayer, then kissed his lips, and, for the first time tears filled her eyes. Till that moment you would have thought she was talking to a child just going to sleep, her voice was so calm and so mild. She was a widow, and he was her only child, and a no• ble fellow he 'was. But she was a religious woman. I never saw religion like that before or since.—We lay off the river till dark ; and then silently came to the shore on this side, for the night. We dared not light a candle,• lest the Indians should see it. We milked our only cow. and Ted the children, and got them to sleep. We then brought the body of the . young man up the bank, and when the won arose, we dug that grave which you see yonder. We had to be careful not to speak _aloud. But after we had opened the grave, and were ready to put the corpse into it, the Widowed mother spoke: Is there no one hear that can offer a prayer as we bury my only Child 1 ' There was uoonswer. We could all. sob, but we had never prayed for ourselves. She then knelt down, and laying her hand, on the bosom of her dear boy, she, in a subdued voice, uttered such a prayer as few have ever heard. She was calm-as the bright waters it our feet. And' when she came to pray for the whole of us -for - the poor l kdiims who had murdered her boy; 'when' she gave thanks to God that be had so long cgmforted her heart with her son ; and when she gave thanks to God, who , had given her each a son 'to give back to ,him, it wait awful! we could not sob. aloud ! You preachers talk about sublimity, but if this it not,but I do not o know'what itis. Well, there we buried him, and there he sleepi yet. In the Morn ing I got up at daylight, and came up here to place the stone at the, head of the grave. It was bloody, for his head had rested upon it. I found the mother was here before me—perhaps she had been here all night.' She was ',trying to do the very thing, end so without saying asingle word I took hold and helped her to put the , stone at the head of the gave.; It is now neatly soak into the ground,. but it stands just as we placed it.

Tea Yount° Gaeta Guu..—f A touching story of the plague. —A young Greek girl, whose lover , smitten with the plague, was conveyed to the tem porary hospital at the Seven Towers, had no sooner ascertained, whaber they had carried him, than without saYing a word to her parents, who would. as she well knew, have opposed her desagc, she left her home, and presented herself at the portal of the infected fortress, as the nurse of the young Greek who had been recived there on the. previous day. In vain did the Governor, imagining from her youth, and the calm and collected manner in which she of. fared herself op an almost certain victim to the pes tilence, that she was not aware of her danger, en deavored to persuade aer from her project. She was immovable, and was ultimately permitted to approach-the bedside of the dying sufferer. Not a tear, not a mamar escaped her, as she took her place beside his pillow, and entered upon her desperate office. lb the paroxysms of his madness, as the poison• was feeding upon his strength and grappled at his brain, be spoke of her fondly-41e . talked of her—he stretched forth his hands to clasp her—and be thrust her from him as he yelled out in his agony, and his limbs writhed beneath the tor. lure of the passing spasm. And she bore it all unshrinkingly ;and even amid her misery she felt a thrill of joy as she discovered that pain and madness had alike failed to blot her image from his memory.. But there were moments less cruel than these, in which reason resumed his temporary sway,; and the devotecttgirl was pressed to the fevered bosom of her fated lover ; and in these —brief as they were—she felt that she was overpaid for all. But the struggle, even of youth and strength, a gainst the most baneful of all diseases, could lint last long. The patient expired in the arms of his devoted mistress, and as he breathed his last, be. queathed to het at once his dying smile and the foul poison which was coursing through his veins• She saw him laid in his , narrow gi aye, and then she turned away with the conviction that she, too, was plague-smitten She did nut return to her home; but she stood a few paces from one of the companions of her youth, and bade her bear to her aged parents her blessing and her prayer ; this done, she fled to the mountains, and sought out a solitary spot whereon to die. ISiOne knew how long she lingered, for she was never seen again with life : but her body was found a few days afterwards beneath a ledge of earth ' inn doubled up position, as though the last spasm had been a bitter one. She who had sacrificed herself to soothe the last hours of him whom she had loved, perished a. lone, miserably, in tho wild solitude of the Asian hills; and her almost Roman virtue has met with no other record than the brief one in which I have here attempted to perpetuate the memory of her devotion and her fate. SHOPPING.-A shop-man among other goods adver tised ladies' gloves at a very small price : a lady, one day dressed out in her richest style, called on the man of the yardstick, and after tumbling his goods about for half an hour, pronouncing them high or tow, as caprice dictated, says: " Are there any of those cheap gloves remaining, that you advertised at nine pence." " Yes ma'am, " was the reply, and the gloves were accordingly sown. Taking pair after pair from the cantoon, she tested the 'elasticity of each till the stitches in the backs grinned horri. bly, when she exclaimed, "What ninopence, sir, for these? I should think fourpence would be high for them." "To he sure," said the sbopman' " the are not a very splendid article, yet it appears to me they are cheap at what we ask." However, you may take a pair at fourpence." Again the gloves were scrutinised, and again pronounced high, and their value set down by her at three cents! The man, knowing her meanness to be so proverbial, and wishing to see to what extent she would carry her passion, told her she might take .a pair at that price. After looking at them a third time, and try- . ing them on, she concluded the money was worth more than the gloves, and left the shop. A few days after, she Called again, for" those three cent gloves," but they were all gone. This is strictly true. ST. PATRICE'S DAM Pottsville.

We can only find room for the con. Ouding paragraph of this very clever sketch: / speak of Mr.. Richie thus in no disrespect of Richmond. or the lowlands of Virginia-but -be cause I. believe bird to be 'a bigot ands fanatic of the most mischeivous by Ins pen and tongue, the energies and resources of that great Commonwealth, whose history,( 0f.50 years stand ing ) whose great men, whose tame (all past though) I - love, I. cherish as the best and. brightest of this, of any other country. I believe tbis man, Ritchie, to, have been the Dr. Francis, who has made a sort of Paraguay of old Virginia. Controlling a powerful press, with great talent too, among an agricultural People;in a sparse population, he has been able for thirty years, as it seems to me, exereise as much power over Virgina as ever. Washington. Jeffe.rstin„ or Madiion had, the master spirits:of Virginia-4nd, alas, it has been a power all for ill He is ,a bigot, for he 'earns nothing. and is no wiser now than he was half a century ago. He is a fanatic, for he has • no liberality, no charity, no 'enlarged and .national comprehension of the movements and doings of the world. Never was there an Menthe° of the 'inure triumphant dominion of the Press therein his ease. For thirty years he has kept Virginia standing stiff.. Of late, the most powerful minds of Virginia, Leigh. Rives, and soon, have traversed hill and dale, inoun tain and valley, to break him down. illuminating by their eloquence the tenants of the Log Cabin of the Alleghagies, as well as the staetlylMansions of Eas tern Virginia,—but Richie' Enquirer was after 'them, week alter week, smeothing over what they said, parrying their blows, extinguishing their log. ic, and making at last the minded of all los hearers darker than ever. In the caverns of mountains, on the island of the swamp, on the peaks of the hills, in the recesses of the valleys, where Orator never trod, or Eloquence never entered.—yet there—even there -was the spirit of Riebie —a spirit that seems never to die. In spite of truih, in spite of justice, in spite of local pride, and even self.respect, Virgin. is threw away her own son, born of her and - her's, too, and took up, and adopted th 4 east.off offspring of New York, and Ritchie did it all, in spite I was going to say, of almost every body Ritchie has got Virginia in chains, the people there will not 09611, it. but Wis.° fact. They fret and worry In them,. it is true, bat they can't break out as long as there , is any thing left of them on earth. Now he tight.' ens up, and now he loosens out4—antin the road is rough and terrible, as it has been for the few years past,—but he keeps his seat,—Virginia in his-bits probably to the end. NO 13. OLD TIP'S FIRST nierraa.—We alluded in our last to the first dinner given at the White'House by General Harrison. The Spy in Washiniton " thus notices it: "The President gave, last week, an instance oflib.. erality of feelings towards the vanquished adminis, tration, Very different from that displayed by " the Greatest - and the Best," when he: came into,office. This was no less than an invitation to the President and Cabinet, to dine with him, in company with the new Vice President . and Cabinet. The invitation was accepted by all hut the late President and his devoted Secretary of State. The dinner was en Saturday; but Mr. Van Buten pleaded the necessity he was under of leaving the city, and cleared out on Saturday mooing, Mr.. Forsythe was prevented, probably, by one of those attacks of indisposition which arrested him so op. portunely last summer at Fredericksburg when es, tensibly r on his way to Georgia to attend the Loco Fuco Convention, and wl.ich enabled, him to write a letter, instead, to alarm the Southern people by the bugbear of the rope of Rome and abolition. All the rest were there, amazed, no'doubt, to find themselves in such company, dnd all as merry as if they had got back sately in their old quarters. Col. Dick, though he must have felt like a cat in a strange garret, seemed the happiest of the happy, cracked Jokes, gave toasts, and in the excess of his delight, almost hugged Mr. Adams, tie entreated the sem. erable Ex-preaideot to visit the West, and Whir wouldenly come to see him at the Great Crating*, he would do any thing tbr him in the world.—Mr. Adams thanked hint kindly, but intimated that he feared he was now too old to visit the Great Cr.:ag ing..

Take our advice, ye sin& ones of this borough, and mar ry early.. . We have some experience in these matters. or what is pretty much the some thing, we have a few straggling gray hairs in our hyacinthine locks. which is the best proof that we have arrived at that period of our pilgrimage when the fire and impetit osity of yOuth have given place to the coolness and wisdom which a person on the shady side of—never mind—is - always supposed -to possess. Marry early, ,say we, and let not the want of worldly goods prevent you from entering into the holy & blissful state of mat; rimony. -Marry early, for you cannot too soon have a companion to cheer and encourage you while jour: neying over the rough, and tugged road, upon which we are all compelled to travel in this probationary world. Marry early, for your objects, wistes, plans, and views. in this life, will then become centred. Marry early, but let no lady marry a gentleman whom she cannot respect, and neither shnidd the gentleman wed a lady whose sole-attraction is a pret: ty face or a well turned figure.
