[ From the Orphans' Advocate
Oh ! Liston !
Hear and heed the Orphan's cry,
Brindle for him soft pity's sigh,
Soothe his woes, and quell his fear,
Whimp'ring that a friend is near !
Ye whose darling dwells above,
Early taken from your love,
Oh, receive the orphan lone,
Blew him, shield him, as your own !
bet him of your bounty share,
For his mind and morals care ;
God a rich reward bestows,
When we heal another's woes !
In . the fitr.nty future, he
May be strength and jny to thee,
And the orphan's powerful arm
May pealerva thee then from harut.
Peered horn his mother's breast,
Like the i•y needing rest,
Bid him round thy heart entwine—
God will prosper thee and-thine !

Along the glassy slope I sit,
And dream of other years ;
My heart is full of soft regrets,
Mine eyes of tender tears!
The wild bee* hummed about the ■pot.
The sheep bells tinkled far,
Last yew when Alice sat with kno,
Beneath the Evening Star!
The same sweet star is o'er crrc now ;
Around the some soft hours;
But Mica moulders in the dust.
With all the last year's flowers !
I sit stone, smi only hear
The wild hoes on the steep,
And distant bells that seem to float
From out the folds of Sleep !
I REFORMED DRBKARD.
TLIS EX Plia I ENCE dI KETI --EXCITINCI
A great "experience meeting" was Leld
one evening in S , church where the
upeakers, as usual, were to he ref firmed
drunkards. An estimable woman whom
we will call Alice, was induced to attend.
When the meeting was somewhat advan
ced, a late member of Congress arose with
apparent sadness and sahl :—Mr. President,
although I had consented at your urgent
solicitation, to address this large assembly
to-night,•yet I felt so strong a reluc•tanc•e
to doing so, that it has boon with the ut
most difficulty I could drag myself forward.
But I had passed my word, I could not
violate it. As to relating my experience,
that I do not think I can venture upon.—
The past I dare not recall. Would to
heaveu that just ten years of my life were
blotted out,"
The iloaker pawed a motnent, already
much affected. 'filen resuming in a firm
er voice, he said :
"But something must be said of my own
case, or I shall fail to make that impres
sion on your minds that I wish te pradm c.
"J'ictures of real life touch the heart
with power, while abstract presentations
of truth glitter coldly in the intellec
tual regions of the mind, and then fade
from the, perception, like figures in a &o
-r:11M.
"Your speaker once stood among the
first members of the liar in a neighboring
State. Nay, inure than that—he repre
sented his snooty three years in the As
sembly or this Commonwealth, and more
'than that still--occupied a seat in Con
gross for two Congresssonal periods."
At this moment the stillness of death
pervaded the crowded assembly.
"And yet more thau that," he continued,
his voice sinking into a thrilling tonc—
•"he once had a tenderly loved wife and
two sweet children. But all these bles
sings have departed from him,•' he contin

Mutts threw hint off because he hint debas
ed himself and disgraced them. And worse
than all—she who had borne hint two dear
babes, was forced to abandon him, and
seek an asylum in her father's house—
And why r Could I become so changed
in a few short years ? What power was
there so to abase me that my fellow beings
spurned, and even the wife of my bosom
turned away heart stricken from me ?
Als ! my friends, it was a mad indulgeuee,
intoxicating drinks. Hut fur this, I were
now an honorable and useful representa
tive in Congress, pursuing after my coun
try's good, and blest in the home circle
with wife and children.
"Hut I have not toll you all Afkir
my wife separated from we, I sank rap
idly. A state of perfect sobriety brought
'kw many terrible thought; I therefore
drank more freely, and was more rarely,
if over under the bewildering effects of par
tial intoxication. I remained in the same
village for some years but never saw her
once during that time—nor a glimpse of
my children. At last I became so aban
doned in my life, that my wife urged on by
her friends no doubt, tiled an application
for a divorce, and as cause could mealy be
shown why 4 should be granted, a separa
tion was legally declared. To complete
any disgrace, at the next Congressional
canvass, I was left off the ticket, as unfit to
represent the district.
"Three years have elapsed since then.
For two years of this period I abandon
ed myself to the fearful impulse of the ap
petite I had acquired. Then I heard of this
new movement—the great temperauon
cause. At that I sneered, then wondered,
listened at last and finally throw myself
upon the great wave that was sweeping on
ward, in hope of being carried by it far out
of the reach of danger, and' I did not hope
with a.yain hope. , It did for mo all and
more than I could have deemed.. It sot me
ouoo more upon any feet—once more made
a man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest
devotion , to my ,profewien, and fervent
prayer •t 0 Him, who alone gives strength
an every good resolution, has restored to
me much that, I have lost—but not all-r

sweet fire-side circle ; I see ever before me
the once placid face of my Alice, as her
eyes looked into my own with intelligent
confidence. I feel her arms twine about
my neck ; the music of her voice is ever
sounding in my ear."
Here the speaker's emotions overcame
him. His utterance became choked, and
he stood silent with bowed head and silent
limbs. The dense muss of people were
' hushed into an oppressive stillness, that
was broken here and there by half stifled
sobs. At this moment there was a move
ment in the crowd. A female figure before
whom every one appeared instinctively to
give way, was seen passing up the aisle.—
This was not observed by the speaker un
til she had come nearly in front of the
platform on which he stood. Then the
movement autght his car, and lifting his
eyes, they instantly fell on Alice—for it
was she that was pressing onward—he bent
forward towards her with sudden uplifted
hands and eager eyes, and stood like a statue
until she gained the stand and advanced
quietly to his side. For a moment or two
they toixl thus; the whole audience, thrilled
with the scene, were upon their feet and ben
ding forward, when the speaker extended
his arms, and Alice threw herself upon his
bosom with a quick wild gesture. Thns
for the space Of a minute they stead—ev
ery ono fully, by a single intuition, under
standing the scene. One of the ministers
then came fa mawd and meperated them.
"No, no," said the reformed Congress

"Heaven forbid that I should do that,
replied the minister. "Ily your confession
she is not your wife."
"Nn, slit' is nut," returned the speaker,
"ilia she is ready to renew her vows a
gain," Alice said, smiling through her
tears, that now reigned over her face.
Before th a t large assembly, all standing,
and with few dry eyes, was said in a bro
ken voice the marriage ceremony that gave
the speaker and Alice to each other. As
the minister, an aged man with his thin
white locks, finished the rite, lie laid his
hands upon the heads of the two he had
joined in holy bonds, and lifting up his aged
eyes that streamed with drops of gladness,
he said in a solimin voice :

A VERMONT SQUIRREL uNT.—Essrx,
rt., Sept. 111.—Quite an Millis tug affair
came off, near here last week, to wit, an old
fashioned squirrel hunt.
Thu beach-nuts of last fall furnished a
bundant (nod ler the squirrels during last
winter. and the consequence is, that they
conic total this summer in great numbers.
The havoc they are creating in the ripen
ing corn-tields and orchards, urged the far
mers to determine on their extermination.
A squirrel hunt is arranged in the follow
ing trimmer. The number of hunters are
divided into two parties, and each agrees
to hunt for a certain number of days, and,
at the end of the time, in technical phrase
to "count the tails." A red squirrel is
considered one tail ; a gray one four tails ;
a &stink, twenty tails, and so on. the tariff
of tails increasing for those animals noted
for scarcity or ferocity.
The party that shoots the most animals,
or gets the most tails, wins ; and the de
feated hunters -pay the shot."
The party commenced their destruction
on Monday last, and ended Friday even
ing, when, on counting, it was found that
one side had shot 4,720 tails. mid lost ;
the other side having shot 8,501. ..
The winning side shot beside, one black
bear, and 050 foxes. Verily, who for the
future will doubt the story of Sampson
and his 300 foxes.—N. 1: Tribune.

Wits PontoNs have been remarkably
numerous in the region of Plattsburg (New

is in the forest, some six miles long and
two wide, each tree containing from twen

catchers went out from Vermont, and they,
with others, have sent more than one mill
ion eight-hundred thousand birds to the city
markets. Seven hundred bushels of grain
were fed out to them in baiting. Hauls
have been made of twelve hundred at one
time. The noise made by the birds at
their encampment were so great that per
sons could not converse live yards apart.
They disappeared on the 17th of July,

The Expedktion In search of Sir
John Franklin.
The "Advance." Capt. De Haven, has
arrived, in the order her name bespeaks,
from a voyage undertaken in philanthropy,
full of peril, full of incident, and success
ful in everything but the great object of
her search. The first grand cause for tri
umph is. that all her hardship, enterprise,
and danger have not cost the sacrifice of
a single life. How eminently this bles
sing is owing to a protecting and ever
watchlul Providence will be apparent. from
a simple narrative of the incidents that be
fel the expedition and the peculiar trials
by which the Advance was tested, in those
hitherto unknown and untravelled seas.—
Truly God was on the waters shaping
the destiny of this great mission of Chari
ty, even though fated not to discover the
long lost wanderer. But let us begin our
narrative :
The American Expedition entered Wel
lington's Sound on the 20th of August,
1850. where they met Capt. Perry with
the "Lady Franklin," and "Sophia," and I
were afterwards joined by Sir John Rosa
and Commodore Austin. On the 27th,
Capt. Perry discovered unmistakeable ev
idence of Franklin's first Winter quer
ters—diree graves with inscriptions or
wooden headboards dating as late as April,'
1840. Their inmates, according to these
inscriptions, were of his crew—two from
the Erebus and one from the Terror.—
There were beside fragments of torn can
vas, articles of clothing, wood and cordage.

campment but affording no indications
which would serve as guides to the lig:lrv:h

ed, and on the Ilth reached Orillin's Is
land. the ultimate limit of their Western
progress. From this they set sail on the
13th, with the intention of returning to the
United States, but were locked in near the
mouth of Wellington's Channel. Here
commenced those perilous adventures, any
thing compared with which, were never
encountered awl survived. By force of
the northern ice drift they were helpless

drifted again into Lancaster Sound, some

board. In this position she remained,
with some slight changes. for five consec
utive months. And while in it the depth
of winter closed its frozen terries aroun,l
the expedition. The polar night fell up
on them, and for eighty days no ray of so
lar held broke upon them. The ther
mometer (Fahrenheit) ranged 40 degrees
below zero, and sometimes sank to 46.
Carly in this awful night, the rescue was
abandoned, for the purpose of economising
the fuel, and the crews of both vessels do-
termined to brave their fate together.
They every moment expected the embra-!
ding ice would crush the vessel to atoms,
and consequently stood prepared, sleeping
in their clothes with knapsacks on their ;
backs, to try chances on the ice, mid storm,
and terror, and night. For this terrible
trial they had made every preparation,
had provision sledged and every thing in
readiness which might be useful for such
a journey. They were then 90 miles
front land, and so certainly did they expect'
that they should make this alarming trial
that on two occasions (8111 December and
23d January,) the boats were actually low
ered and the crews assembled on the ice
to await the catastrophe.
During this period the scurvy became
epidemic, and assumed an alarming char
acter. Its progress defied all the usual
remedies, and only three men escaped the
attack. Capt. De Haven was himself the
greatest sufferer. The constant use of
fresh water obtained from melted ice, ac
tive mental and physical exertion. and the
care of Divine Providence, arrested any
fatal result, and the disease yielded to a
beverage composed of a sort of apple tea
and lemon juice. After entering nallin's
Ilay, Jan. 13, the ice became ilia, and
the little expedition became stationary and
fast in the midst of a vast plain of ice, 90
miles from any land. The stores, mate
rials and cordage were stowed away in
snow-houses, erected on the ice, and a
sort of encampment was formed, with all
the appearance, if not the solidity, of terra
firma. The tables of ice varied !root three
to eight feet in thickness.
Nor was this situation of peril and awe
without its attractions. Amroras Parhe-
ha—(mock Beni) and mock moons, of the
most vivid lustre succeeded one another
w ithout intermission, and as day approach-
et), the twilights, streaking the northern
horizon, were vividly beautiful. At length
the God of day showed his golden face
(18111 Feb.) and was hailed with three
'warty American cheers. Gradually his
influence was felt and the waxen-like col
or of the complexion, which the long night
had superinduced, gave place to freckles
and tan. The disease, AOO s quickly disap
peared.
On the 13 th of May the Rescue was re
occupied.
The disruption of the ice was sudden
and appalling. In twenty minutes from

could reach, became one mass of moving

Expedition encountered perils of the mast
alarming kind. The floating ice broke in
the bulwarks, and covered the deck in bro
ken masses like rocks tumbled pell melt
by a mountain torrent. The more than
iron endurance of the gallant ships was
severely tested by the crush of the closing
