Thou aslest rife why my heart is sad,
Why pensive thus troam,
When,nll around are blithe and glad!

But ah ! my aching bosom longs
For-that which is not there. -LI

Flon'ers that can ne'cr decay.

They fade, they wither here below—
They were not made for earth,
Where is that mansion ? Far above
The stim, the stars, the sides:

My:Father's mansion lies.
Then ask not why my heart is sad,
Why pensive thus I roam,
When all around are blithe and glad
My spirit pines for home.

A Girl that would be Married.
Mr. Watts had, by industry and economy,
accumulated a large property. Ile was a
man of rather superior mind and acquire
tnents, but unfortunately became addicted to
habits' of intemperance. Naturally fond of
company, and possessing superior conversa
tional powers, his company was much
courted rind he became eveiltrially a sot.
His wife was a feeble woman, without much
decision of character; but an only child was
the reverse, illustrating one of those singu
lar laws of nature, that the females oftenest
take after their father, in character and pe
culiarities, and the males aftet: the mother.
Mary was Well aware of the consequen
ces that would inevitably follow her father's
course, aml had used every exertion of Ter
smoipn and reason m her power, to induce
himn'to al'er his habits, hut without avail;
his resolutions and promises could not with
stand temptation, and he pursued his down
ward course, till the poor girl despaired of
reform, and previously. realized what the
end must result in.
John Drum was a man from the East pos
sessed of a good education. as all our New-
England boys are, and their indomitable in
dustry and perseverance, and was working
on the farm of a neighbor by the month.
Mary on going some errand to the next
honk, net him on the road with the usual
salutation, "flood morning, Mr. Drum."
"God morning. flow is your health ?"
Well, I thank you, but, to tell the truth
sick at heart."
"Pray, tvhat is the trouble ?" said John.
"What can affect a cheerful, lively girl like
you, possessing, every thiog that can make
you happy ?",
"On the contrary," replied Mary, "Every
thing conspires to make me miserable. I am
almost weary of life. BtA eis a subject I
can not explain to you ; and yet I have
sometimes thought I might.
"Anything I can do for you, Miss Watts,
you may freely command."
"This is promising more than you may be
willing to perform. But, to break the ice
at once—do you want a wife ?"
"A wife ! Well [ don't know. Don't you
want a husband 'I"
"Indeed I do, the worst way. I don't
-know but you may thinlmme bold, and defi
cient in that maidenly modesty becoming a
young woman ; but, if you knew my situa
tion, and the affliction under which I suffer
I think it would be some excuse for my
course."
have you thought of the consequences?"
said John—"My situation—l am poor—you
are rich—l am a stranger—and—"
"Indeed I have, until I am .almost crazy.
Let the explain—you and every one else
knows the unfOrtunate situation of my fath
er. Ills habits are fixed beyond amend
ment, and his property is wasting like the
dew before the sun,
A set of harpies arc drinking his very
heart's blood, and ruin and misery are sta
ring us in the face. We are almost stran
gers, it is true ; we have met in company a
few times, but I have observed you closely.
Your habits, your industry, and the care and
prudence with which you manage your em
ployers business, have always interested me.
"And my dear young lady, what can you
know of me to warrant you in taking such
an important step ?"
"It is enough for the that I am satisfied
with your character and habits—your per
son and manners. We are about the same
age : so, if you knoW me and like me well
enough to lake me, there is my hand !"
"And, my dear Mary, there's. mine, with
all my heart in it. Now, when do you de
sire it to be settled 1"
"Now, this minute ; give me your arm,
and we u•i11 go to Squire Denton's, and have
the bargain finished at once. I dont want
to enter our house of distress again until I
have one on whom 1 can rely, to 'control
and direct the aflidrs of my disconsolate
home, and to support me in my determina
tion to'turn over a new leaf in our domestic
affiiirs."
"But not in this old hat, and in my shirt
sleeves. Mary."
"Yes—and 1 in my old sun-borinet and dir
ty apron. If you are oontent, let it be done
at once. I hope you will not think I am so
hard pushed as that comes to ; but I want a
master. lam willing to be mistress, but to
be master is inore than lam equal to. I will
Ilion take you home and introduce you as
my Own dear husband—signed, sealed and
delivered."
"So be it—permit me to say that I -have
always admired you from the first minute I
saw you, for your beauty, energy, industri
ous and amiable derortinent."
"Now, John, if that is sincere, this is the
happiest moment of my life, and I trust our
union may be long and happy. lam the
only person my father hears to; but alas !
his resolutions are like ropes of sand, I can
manage him on all subjects ; you, must take
charge of his business, and sole control ;
there will be no difficulty--I ant confident
of the result."
They were married, and a more happy
match never was consummated. Every
thing prospered ; houses and barns were re
paired, fences and gates were regulated and
the extensive fields smiled and flourished
like an Eden.—The unfortunate father in a
few ye•ars sunk into a drunkard's grave.
Mary and John raised a laTe family, and
they still live, respected and healthy—all
from an energetic girl's resolution, fore
thought and cOuroge.
itn Mope:mut in Olden Time.
The Dowager Lady Ashburton died at
Gosport, England, •a short time since, and
her history contains materials (hr . a splendid
romance. This lady was an American, and
among other incidents of note recorded in
connection with her name, the following
will be read with interest:—
She was the daughter of Hon. , William
Bingham, a Senator of Congress, and fifty
years since, her father was a wealthy and
prominent merchant in Philadelphia. Ile
was a man of fashion, and the family were
among the leaders of the ton in the Quaker
city at that period. Then he was indentifi
ed with the interests and institutions of the
United States. Ile was recognised as one of
the aristocracy, and was always retriarkitbly
attentive to the nobility visiting this country.
About the period lie was elected by the
State of Pennsylvania to the Senate then
sitting in Philadelphia, he built what was
then called a splendid and costly mansion,
occupying an entire square of ground, with
gerdens and all kinds of embellishments,
enclosed by a brick wall, fronting on third
and spruce streets, and now known as
Ilead's Mansion house. Mr. Bingham en
tertained strangers, Senators and the Cab
inet, with princely hospitality. Ilis fami
ly led the fashions of those time, and a very
friendly intimacy existed between him and
Gen. Washington.
The French Revolution drove many no
bles to the United States as exiles, anion ! , •
whom were two padessed dueliSts, Cnuut
de Tilly and Viscount de Noaillt;s. The
Vis Count either brought letters to Mr. Bing
ham from Gen. La Fayette, or he obtained
an introduction to him, which led to his ad
mittance as an inmate in the family. 1-Ittv
.ing acquired the confidence 'of Mr. Bing
hum by his address and accomplishments,
he managed to introduce the Count de 'Filly
into that hospitable mansion. 'rho Count
was as noted for his profligacy as he was
for his skill with the small sword ; and un
derstanding all - the arts of a seducer, he soon
obtained the good opinion of Mrs. Binglmin
and Miss Maria Matilda Bingham, an only
daughter.
In those (lines, and even since, a noble
man—French, English, or German—was re
ceived with marked attention in all wealthy
'Fhere was muCh patrician blood
coursing through the veins of the young Re
public ; royalty and nobility were not then,
as now, at a discount. Marquises, Viscounts,
were lionized, whenever they made their ap
pearance, and the young ladies were enam
ored with the titled. This Count de Tilly
soon persuaded Miss Bingham to elope with
him, and also bribed some clergyman to
unite theta. 'Fhe city was not then very
populous, and the whole world of fashion
was thrown into the greatest excitement, nt
hearing thnt Miss Bingham had run away
with the French Count de Tilly; and Mr.
Bingham himself—a very honest, well-mean-
ing, but not very distinguished man, excep
-1 ting. for wealth—was dreadfully • mortified
at this rash step of his daughter, not then 16
years of age, The whole city called it vile
abduction. The greatest indignation was
everywhere:expressed : and Captain Barry.
, commanding altacket ship, and a man of
1 fashion, took occasion to thrash the Count
'for some insolense. The couple was forth
with seperated, and the affair was the sub
ject of tea table conversation `for some titnc—

such an event seldom occuring m those gull
et and innocent periods. •
Mr. Bingham almostillunk malerAlut
but it became necessary to open some.
tiation with the Count, to buy him off, as he;
only ran away with the girl for het. fortime -
The Count, in the coursc of these negotiri
tions represented_himself to be
debt, and that it was impossible to leavOlhe;' • ,
country without satisfying his 'Creditors ta;
the amount of „t5OOO in ready money, itrut
an annuity of 1.'600, which was paid and
cured to him, and he left for France, the'
marriage having been declared fraudulent.'
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham never recovered'
from the shed:, and died shortly afterwards,-- - -
A young English merchant, by the name
of Baring, subsequently arrived in Philadel
phia, with letters to Mr. Bing,ham, and form-.
ing an attachment for his daughter, married
and carried her home. Her husband, of
the head of the great banking
house of luring and 13rothers, was created a
Baron, under the title of Lord Ashburton, •
and was the negotiator here of the Ashburton
treaty. The dOwager, Lady Ashburton, re
conily deceased, was the girl who had exci
ted so much attention and polite gossip,
when run away with by the Count de Tilly,
some fifty years ago."
Counsel to Young Men
Truth and justice are immutable and eter
nal principles—always sacred and always
applicalle. In no circumstance however,
urgent, no crises however awful, can there
be an aberration from the one, or a derelic
tion of the other, without sin. With re- ,
spect to anything else, be accomodating ;
but here be unyielding -and invincible.
Rather carry your integrity to the dungeon
or the scallokl, than receive in exchange for
it liberty and life. Should you ever be call
ed upon to make your election between
these two extremes, do not hesitate. It is
better prematurely to be sent to heaven in
honor, than, having lingered on earth, at
last to sink to ruin in infamy. In every sit
uation, a dishonest man is detesteble, and a
liar is more so:
Truth is one of the fairest attributes of
Deity. It is the boundary which seperates
