AND POTTSVILLE GENERAL ADVERTISER.
WEEKLY BY BENJAMIN BANNAN, POTTSVICLE,SCHUYLKILL COUNTY, PA.
A shivering child one winter's night.
(The snow was deep and cold the blast!)
flogged herragged mother M., lit,
Mother," exclaimed, -we're home at last!
And as she spoke, poor hale one,
ruined hut she stood before,
Whence, ever since the morning sun.
They strayed to beg from door to door.
l'e're home at last! find homejas this—
All lone without, all cold within;
The tidier here might lurk and hiss,
Her poisonous web the spider spin—
But there's no fire to warm, no light ;
And crevices are yawning wide,
Through which the storm, this freezing night,
May lay you stiffened, side by side..
And yet this wayward child has been
By many a gorgeous heti to—and past
Where mirth and music - cheer the scene,
Nor envies.—tor she's home at last!
Thus may the heart be trained below
To love the cot wherein was cast
Its fate of poverry and woe,
Like her who cried—:'we'er home at last!"
Little Jane's Christmas Box
Incidents filled oith 11,e deepest pathos, and
occurrences to stir the soul with the tenderest
e Lotion !tippet] around us every do' ; yet seldom,
very seldom, have ue a pen commanding leisure
enough to yield them a brief record.
We involuntarily removed from our lips a glass
of wine th it tee had raised to quLff, last Christ
mas day, t‘ hen our eye glar.cing through the vvin
&il, fell upon an unpholsterer's preparations for
a funeral going on in front of a house immediate
ly opposite. Our gouda hostess of the occasion
marked the action and after politely insisting up
on the usual courtesy, she made us sit down to
hear the following simple and affecting history of
poor little Jane and her first Christmas flu.
The little girl about to be buried upon the mer
riest hulliday in the year, was just grouching
the anniversary of her seventh birthday, when
some subtle disorder that bad emu ted her from
infancy, carried her off during the night that ush
ered to our last gay
Christmas. , he was a child
of very sweet and attractive manners, and the
nek4hliors had learned to know and love Ler. The
incurable complaint tv.di tvLi h she was consum
ing gave a placidity almost ethereal to Mr dispo
sition, and her smile was a thing so mildly beau
tiful, that
.(if we may• lend a simile to assist this
warm but imperfe, t description of our it f.rmaid)
it must have been like the leaf of a lily sh.onn;
in the enthrace of a inuon-beam.
The parrots viri re p ior, Lut dignified and rtir
ing, and:notm,ithstatalnig the pr. found iuu•test in
tie Jane awakened in the neighborhood, Cie bear
ing ut the father, and the constant seclusion of the
mother, 411arly forbade any intrusi,e proffer of
assi.tarreiA few wreks after, the child ceased
its visits to the sidewalk, and was seen to sit no
more upon the dour step. Poor Jane was on her
•At the approach of the holidays, the father and
mother (with that old hankering of hope which
so eagerly clin4s for safety to a straw) grew joy
ous with a bright change in their suffering daught
er. She suddenly grew to laugh arid converse
with perfect freedom, and the symptoms of inter
nal pain ceased to cross tier sweet face so often
before. Then the cheered mother would sit by the
ludside, and Lill: to the girl of the merry hullitLys
that w ere soon cominz, arid promising the poor
child what she had never known before—a hand
s,one Christmas Doe.
This promise, as it would seem took grt at hold
upon poor little dying Jane•s fancy, for she still
from day to day, would question her mottlet a
bout it, and desire to know what sort of a box it
was to be I For an hour or twO on the day pre
ceding Christmas, she chatted with remarkable
liveliness, tel her father and mother pw.osely,
that she meant to keep awake In the night and
watch Narita Claus when he came down the chim
ney with the box. But as evening came on, she
faded Into pile and sleepless stupor. 'Fhe doting
mother grew again unea,y. ii) o. 1•11 every inno
cent artifice endeavored to keep the tic i a sen-es
in aeltort. S'he lifted little Jane upon Bic
that she night ere how the , tocking S disp a d
in the chimney corner, telling her how site had
prorni4d to keep awake to see :Santa Claus cone
down ; but poor Jane smiled faintly with.mt
speaking, a peculiar expression only crossing her
countenance, by which the mother always under
stood a sAcitation to be kkeed.
In.the 'appall° dwelling Fortune and Pleasure
were smiling up m each other ; and a gay assem
blage of the chosen votaries of each were joy ful
ly greeting as they passed an ay the merry and
laughing hours of Christmas eve ! How strange
ly oppos.te will sometimes jar during our progress
through this chequered scene! How, still more
strangely, does that jarrnag oft touch upon 'the
chords of gentle sympathy, which vibrate ever
with melodious sound.
The pour, bereaved mother's scream reached
and startled 'the company opposite, and our good
hostess commanding her guests of the evening to
remain in undisturbed festivity, cent to visit the
scene of affliction, for her heart too truly toll her
what alone could be the cause of such a desalt°

Little Jane lingered till nearly midnight, fide
ing slowly, like one of those thin vapors sailing
in the train of Cynthia, which pass away into eith
er, mocking admiration as with some beautitul al
luQion that you think you've seen, yet suddenly

♦ TALE YU o:4c ItEAL LIT!"
About four monthsssince,l was accosted by a
weather-beaten tar, whlse appearance showod
that he had weathered inny a storm, but whose.
blackened eye and tremitlibg limbs proved, that
the perils on land had been more disastrous than
the dangers of the dee'p. lie had for ears, -
whilst on shore, been the victim of rtun-lelling
landlords, and the prey ofithose harpies that infest_
their sinks of iniquity. „lie approached with a
dejected look, and spoke 'as follows:
I hope you will exeu4e me, sir, but I am in a
very bad state, as you pgreeive. I have sti:fei-ed
dreadfully, for a long fink', from drinking ; and
although I don't care much about it n%. f, I
can't help it, when I aril ivherc it is, and ttr ship
mates arc urging nie to d iuk "
You had bate; makq up your mind to leave
it ()flat once," I said.
That is what I Wan't'to do, sir; and if you
would put my name on tic Temperance book, I
would thank you." .
u I will gladly do it," said I ; "and if you ‘‘
come up to night, I w.ll * with you to the Tem
perance meetina."
I sir,—l will."
A little before the time named, lie presented
himself with hig nerves somewhat s
but still a pitable looking object of intetoper-
ance.
Well," said I, -pan are true to your time;
and off to the meeting we went - and as soo n as
the invitation to sign the pledge was givemilp lie
stepped, and down went his name.
Alter the meeting, i g;avo him a cautim to
:laud
. I,W, and we parted. The next morning
my new convert made his 4ppearance, and with a
sorrowful look he said :
o I can't stop where I am, sir ; if I do, I shall
break my pledge. MY laullord and shim des
are trying all they rim to , Ot me to drink, con t
stand it—can't stand it."
" Well," said L "you mast leave. Hon L aig
have yo . o been in the house—what is the anount
of your bill 1"
"I lame only bvi a to...re !for two or three lip,
but toy bill for gr is rather heavy,”.he red.ed.
I paid the tonount of Ids' bill, as filch was tear
lc nine dollars, and had his dunnage taken b the
"Sailor's Home," where he Stopped about a w , elt.;'
kept by his pledge, got thoroughly sober, and ob
tained a voyage up iha Straus, and for ow, la
his life, rendered himself on board, a sob,
in possession of his senses, and kno a ing
what pict he was bound for.
Three months slipped round and brought I .ielt
my honest tar. He met as nth a look of grati.ude,
and gar e me such a grip as ,made my lingen fair
ly ache.
" 'Well," said I, "have you kept your plialei '"
‘• Oh yes, sir, and oiranOU keep it."
Ile returned to the saildr's Ifome--w:o paid
off—rigged himself out in a nelar Iles
--paid the lode debt he oWlfai, amt in a few days
was shipped again.
As he War wing oil board, I saw him.

1-_ttnitti and J. . she adopted a new t;:rill in
ISIS. on the plan of letting trade regulate
In this plan she abrogated her prohibitions, and
lower, d her duties. The country was immedi
ately deluged «ith (.reign goods—and, in due
course, drained of its specie, as we have been in
past t ea N. to pay for the surplus of those imports,

a,t'rous comequerwes to,li place. eiri•ulation
was stopped. Distress and wretchedness mer
-Tread the land. The manufacturers first fell
.ictims to this mistaken policy. Agriculture
TleNt felt the shock, and finally bankruptcy swept
away a large proportion of those commercial
houses, whose cupidity had paved the way for the
misery of the country."
Here is experience—here are known and undo
niatle 01 - ects, resultin.z front equally well attested
cases; and how - was the evil corrected' By a
return to a Protective Tariff. The following ex
tract is from the Emperor of Russia's Circular.
w.itten by Count Nesselrode, in Is'27. on the
subj,ct of the new Tariff:
To produce happy effects, the principles of
cummereial freedom must be Lfentraly ;idol ted.
Tlie State which adopts, while otlurs rojeci
most condemn is own industry and commerce to
pay a ruinous tribute to those ‘f other nation a. "
From a circulation exempt from restraint. and
the facility afforded by reciprocal exchanges, al
most all governments at firs! resulted to seek the
means of repairing the evil. which England had
been doomed to suffer; hut the experience and
more correct calculations, because they were made
from certain data, and upon results already
known, of the peace that had just taken place,
FORCED THEM TO ADHERE TU THE PHOHIBITORT
13331121
England Exeserved hers. Austria remained
faithful to the rile she hadlaid down, to guard
herself against the rivalship of foreign industry.
France, with the same views, adopted the mpst
rigorous measures precaution,—and Prussia
published a new Tariff in -'October last, which
proves that she found it imiiossible not .to follow
the example of the rest of Europe "
In proportion as the prohibitory system is
extended and rendered perfict in other countries,
that State which pursues the contrary sy , lt m
makes froai day to day sacrifices more e.r(ensice
and considerable."
It is with the most lively feelings of teg,ret,
we acknowledge, that it is out own proper expe
rience which enables us to trace this picture.—
The evils which it details have been realized in
Russia and Poland, since the conclusion of the
act of 1818. Agriculture without a market—in
dustry without protection, languish and decline.
Specie is exported, and the most solid conimer
cial houses are shaken The public prosperity
would soon feel the wound inflicted on private
fortunes, if new regulations did not promptly
change the actual state of affairs."

Here is experience for our guide, against the
theories of our free trade philosophers.
Let it be borne in mind, however, that we do
not quarrel with the doctrines office trade, when
rightly applied and understood. The very term
'trade,' -implies dealings between two parties
and to make it a fire trade, there must be no re
strictions on either side. Trade is an exchange
of commodities—money represents the value and
settles the difference. Let the exchange of corn
modLies between us and England be fiee un b .th
and no one will complain Make it free on
our side, and restrictive on theirs, and it •oon
demns our industry and commerce to pay a ruin
ous tribute' to the commerce and industry of Eng.
land. To call such a state of things by the name
of free trade is as absurd as to say that a boxing
match behNeen4wo persons, one of is hum has his
hand, tied behind him, is a lair tight, because
south, one is free to knock the other down as of
ten a.s he pleases.
A friend, whose opinion I value higher than
that of any theoretical wr,ter li%in T, has illustrat
ed the absurdity of free trade with a country who
will take nothing from us she can do without,
excepting gold and silver, in return for soft it
we buy, in the following manlier ; I go to my
estate in the country to pass the summer,and ant
surrounded with t ,enty farmers. They inter
change labor, tools, horses, &c. with each other
—and they cultivate their farms. anti get in their
crops, by an interchange of labor and tools, vi
ali
out payment of a dollar; On my part, I am only
there fur a summer—and buy of them my provi
sions, and litre what work I wish to hive done.—
In this; manner, I pay them live hundred dollars,
which I cat up and consume. At the end of the
:7tuniner, I am so much the poorer in purse, and
th-N so much the richer.
In the illustration, I am America—they the
tile rest of the N14 . )1 1. _N,iw were America rich
in gill anti siker as my friend is. it would be of
rOnSeIIUCIICe, pros idtql the Miner, WOUM
rapidk enough, if the experiment were to be car
lied on a little longer ; but fort.inattly our wealth
consists in exactly v‘ hat other nations will not
take, viz: the production of the soil. They will
rot in the ground, while OW few glitti‘ring coins
that are left us to set our own energies in motion,
to supply us with the means of making our other
products Nalualrle, are raked up and shipped to
Mreign lands.
We talk of a return of specie payments in this
country as if it were only necessary for our Le
gislatures to vote that it shall 1-c done. Could a
correct return lw made of the ruin now in the
country compared to the amount in 1837, the ini
possthility of the thing would he apparent. The
truth ia, our specie has left the coon rv, for the
very plain rason that we imp of. under the free
tra.ie system, in the few of au itn p ussibililt tueS

would receiie (lower, pork, lead, and tile ;trim's

IThe New Orleans, Advertisci of recent , datii

China, and the introduction of the saw-gin; have
brought about a new state of things, and every

The shipment of cotton from 'mita to England
for the current year are estimated at 450!000
bah , ,; it is believed that during the next s l isan
at least 600,000 bales will be shipped. =.,
To those facts the writer adds other items which
