!Al Iny sayenteentilyeur—when. in the space of a fort
night, both lather and mother were summoned. to an
ether, and, - doubtless,
a brighter world. My father was
meChanician, with feeble constitution; and had toiled ,
beyond bis physical powers. He was seized by a
prevailing malady, and although he lingered but a few
weeks, the incessant night watches and other toils,
which nonebut those who have attended long, upon a
sick room, in which the head of a family lay stretched
upon wheel- of death, -carr fully appreciate, reduced my

•%vit.h the heartless world. She knew nothing of life—
had mingled little with scriety, and was wholly huid
erate to obtain a liiielihood for herself, e.xcept in some
easy. and agreeable situation. This I soon discovered
it was next to impossible to obtain for her. Our means
were extremely limited. We were compelled, indeed,
to

Ware that h . id been hoarded up in cur little family,
with the object of maintaining even for ashort time, un
appearance of gentility. For myself, I satin saw the
lonely and wretched position I occupied, and also
speedily discovered how utterly unfit I was to make
my way through the crowd of such a metropolis as Lon
don. We had some friends, it is true, but they were
for the most part in humble life, or ut least unable to
reader any permanent or satisfactory assistance.
"Week after week, and month after mouth, westrug
tied to obtain situations. Wt , travelled from one end
of the metropolis to the other at least a thousand times;
feeling alone and deserted amidst the vast crowd, arid
&paying atlast that we were pointed and scoffed ut,
because of our frequent appearance in the streets, and
. 'far reasons which at that time I could not comprehend.
Probably we were deemed idle and w,,rthless, and
the very shyness and timidity which must have marked
our conduct and appearance, doubtless form, d a cause
of scandal and distrust. 0 God ! what a life of misery
I lived during those few months I saw lay sister
fadiug before me, hoar after hour; I saw her without
the Means of satisfying her hunger; I saw her patient
and resigned as an angel; and endeavoring to jest and
make light even of the miserable condition of her ap
parel. A thousand demons would sometimes seem
whispering at my soul. Crime and all its temptations
appeared before me, and in various f and more
than once some momentary companion in misery en
deavored to urge ma over the precipice on which I felt
I was standing. Nothing saved me but tire early les
sons of my lamented parents. Their voices seemed
to ring through rev ears at every crisis, and when res
• ohition hesitated and faltered befure tire goiswin- , 3 of
hunger and dm . pleading,s of despair, when my better
genius seemed about .to fall and desert me, some bright
gleam would penetrate the dark:,esa, and the phantom
shape of n3,' mothar whisper, 'my sun, my son, my only
sou.' "
A tear trickled do•.vn tl)e cheek of the old man, as
the image of his maternal parent rose above the past,
and the recollection of his early sutfering,s, came back
upon his memor.
"But," he r::u•ned "no language can give an ade
quate idea of the horror of those moments. The turf
was scarcely green above the grave of the author of my
existence. when my sister perished of poverty and
want—mad, perfectly mad: her sail-rings of body and
mind having thrown her into a brain les er. Nay; she
might have lived had she been (provided with ade
quate medical skill, and the comforts essential to the

to lodge in a damp cellar in Liverpool, having, as a last
resort, proceeded thus far on our way to this country.
We had heard much of it in the old world, and gath
ering up the last fragments of our broken fortunes—
scarcely enough to pay for two berths in the steerage
of an Arnericau ship; we seised in our desolation and
desperation, upon the hope of brighter prospects in the
new world. Poor Annette ! She bore up stoutly to
the last, and could I have kept her alive until the sea
breeze bad funned her fainting spirit., and the salt air
nerved her feeble frame, she might at least have reach
ed these shores. But her gentle heart broke beneath
the vicissi:odes of a cold and bitter world, and the
fair you.n creature who had been brought up with so
much tenderness' and love, died in a loathsome cellar,
with no losing to cheer her last hours, save a wretched
and miserable brother, who was scarcely able to se
cure to her lifeless form respectable burial. And yet,
in the wisdom (Zan all-wise Providence, perhaps her
early and painful death was a 'mercy. What could
she have done—what might have been her destiny in

to kee t , me as he said, from the poor house, or worse,
until I could obtain employment. Butt what employ
ment. could I obtain ? I knew no trade; possessed lit
tle strength of body: and had a vagabond look, more
in consequence of the wretched plight of my wardrobe,
than because of any revolting aspect of. features. For
three days I wandered through the streets of the great
city of the new world, an object possibly of curiosity to
some, probably of contempt to others. The fourth
night I sought, as I fancied, the humbler part of the
city, with the object of economizing my means as much
as possible. And here another misfortune.
"During- the fitful slumber incident to my condition,
I was rubbed of every farthing ! Imagine my situation!
a stranger in a strange land, with a broken spirit, a
despairing mind, and utterly penniless. My brain
reeled with its reflections. Reason tottered, and des
pair gathered over my soul, black and terrible ! Life
seemed to stop ! Thu blood rushed madly through my
veins ! Crime, also, appeared, and with a still more
dreadful aspect I My own thoughts writhed like scot

cried "forbear, forbear !" Thu various means of sui
cidecrowded rapidly upon me, the knife, the dagger,
poison in its various forms. "A single plunge," the
demaa whispered, "and the spirit will be at rest."—
The struggle was a dreadful one, but the future was as
night, nuta ray rose above its midnight of horrors.—
The felon's fate might be, the prison, the gallows, the
gazing crowd, the heartless executioner ! "These, all
these, may be avoided," urged the demon. "A single

agitated spirit, nod moved towards the Hudson. Rap

The dark, deep waters of the river were now in view.

A few yards. further, and a cairiage with two excited

Pi 1 TSBURGICWEDNESDAY,--DECEMBER
LAY AND ANIIMASONIIY.-WC published on Mon
day morning tho two letters of Mr. CLAY, in reply to
, onto inquiries propounded by the antimasons, and
the accompaning. remarks of the Globe. The editor
of the Gazette, and other pseudo antimasons,who wish
to sell their party to the Royal Archer, arc attempt
ing to deceive the pablic into the belief that Mr. Clay
withdrew from the Lodge in 1824, and that since that
time he has held no communion with the masonic or
der. We have the means to show that this is false,
and refer thepublic to the following article from the
Lancaster Examiner, to show how utterly destitute of
truth is the assertion of Mr. Clay and his partisans that
he has not hail any connection with masonry forthe lust
nineteen years -
We suppose the Gazette will not
question the respectability, or veracity of the Exam-
Leer; ithas been the text book for its party, and has
always supported pure antiaro... , anry, with more ferocity
Ithan any other journal in the state. If it is right in its
remarks about Mr. Clay, how can the Gazette, claim
ing, to be an organ of the antimasons, urge its parry to
support such a man? And if the letter or Mr. Clay
to the Grand Lodge, dated Sept 15, 18:31, is genuine,
how will it reconcile Mr. C's. declaration that he has
had nothing to do with masonry for the last nineteen
years, with the plain, hottest truth? As the editor of
the Gazette is now a champion of Mr. Clay and has
undertaken to prove to his party that they can coo
scienciously support a royal arch mason, we hope lie
will consider it worthy his attention to notice tht.s,'n
ti mant: of the editor of the Lancaster Examiner, nil
also to explain why Mr. Clay should "rezrei
tremely" that he could not attend a masonic
long after be had withdrawn from th-.. Lodge.

HENRY CLAY AND ANTIMASuNRY.—Mr Clay, last
fail, wrote au insulting letter to the untimavon s of In
diana, alleging there was 110 warrant in the constitu
tion, fur asking his sentiments on the AlthiCCE of ma
sonry, and therefore declined giving a can& 1 answer.
Subsequently, with the hope of securing the anti ma
sons. and iirduciair the abandonmen t of Mr \Vol. hia
Lodge going associates published a "certificate" of
his demillal from Lexington Lodge. His masonic
friends thereupon =ore !oast manfully that he had ' - se.
ceded" from masonry, and urged antimasons to give op
Wirt and support him for President.
The antimasuns were not to be deceived into a sup
port of the - political gambler" of Kentucky, and the
labor of the lodge was for nothing. In [Addition to the.e
facts. we publish the following reply of Mr Clay to the
Secretary of the Grand Lodge. invitinz him to be pre
sent at the installation of the Grand Master dect. It
is takdn from the Kentucky Argu-,.:
"DEAR SIR:
When your note of yetuertlay was delivered, I %,‘
Company and did not attend to the request for an a•i.
swer by the bearer,ur it sh )uhl have been sent, I 'e
gret extremely,thal l rannot allenrifo Ike ec , :mon
mentioned by you, in consequruce of - other en••aL-r
-m wets.
With great respect
Yours 'Frilly,
Ashland, Ist Sept., 1331. 11. CL
It will be observed that the above note is dated but
a few days previous to the meeting of the Baltimore
Convention, at the period when his masonic partizans
were most active in attemptinz to convinne the anti
masonic party that Mr. Clay a as opposed to masonry,
and that it was their policy to settle on him fir the Pre
sidency. In the "rcply" we hear noehing of his sec, a-
SiOlt from the lodge, nothing of his - demittal" in 1 el•-!4.
which he hai paraded to the world, as evidence of los
having ceased to sin. How much must this d..vel
opment sink Mr. Clay below even his former charac
ter for pofligacy and deception!
Let his man worshippers bow the knee and rejoice
in the infamy of their idol. The anti masonic party
envy them not. His attempt at playing a d •serate
game with our cause and party, for the benefit of the
Lodge, is nut less marked by its profligacy than its
fully.
EgiPA . good old Antirnason, who has adhered t u the
fortunes of that party fur the last fifteen years, was the
otherday, reading the letter published by oar neighbor
of the Gazette, eulogising, Mrs CLAY for getting up at
4 o'clock in the morning. and "sometimes churning the
cream, and always salting it." lie said that that was
nothing to boast of; his wife, who is over 50 years of
nge, gets up at 4 o'clock; has the breakfast forthe faun
. iy prepared before daylight, and always churns the
cream. but nevcr salts it. however, salts the
butter, which in th 3 opinion of her husband, is a much
better plan than the orn attributed to Mrs. Clay by
the editor of the Gazette. This antimason wants to
know what reward he shoald receive fur his wife's
smartness, if Mrs. Clay's performance with her butter
andcream will induce rig:ll to support her husband fur
office, who were heretofore opposed.
THE CRY.AM.—The editor of the Gazette sticks to
history about Mrs CLAY attending to the labors of her
dairy, but varies the duties which he said she perform
ed, and now, instead of insisting that she "sometimes
churns the CREAM and always S ALTS it," he brings for
ward the Rev CHAS. ELLIOTT to pore that MN Clay
salts her butter. We would nut wonder if she did,
but it was not her management of butter that called
forth the admiration of our neighbor of the Gazette;
be lauded her custom of salting her CREAM. This is
the "cream of the joke," and Deacon White can't slip
out 11. substituting buller fur cream. If he has the
right thus to change the whole pith of his compliment
to Mrs Clay, the public may well doubt the truth of the
whole story, and set it dawn among the wishy - washy,
skim-milk affairs that federal editors are continually
originating fur the purpose of glorifying their great men
and woman.
ILLINOIS-1 HE CANAL, &c.—.. friend writes the St.
Louis Republican from Springfield, 111., tliat "the en
gineer, employed by Gov. Davis, is satisfied with the
ork thus far on the canal, and that $1,G00,000 will
conplote it. It is so stated here, with great confidence,
b) those who profess to have the beat knowledge of the
facts, that Gee. Davis regards the work in so favorable
a light that he will advise our bond-holders to advanc e
the money to complete it—more especially us he believes
the securities for the funds proposed to be advanced
are ample, as the bond-holders will be protected in
their acquired rights by the courts of the United
States."

vessels with an aggregate of 4,000 tons, have been
