A SONG. By J. J. Bikf.h, of VWahtphia.
ug ul a meeting of the Agricultural Society al
Acu' llrutmvick.
A farmer's lifo is the lite for me,
I una I love it dearly
And every seaaon full of glee,
I take its labors checrly
To plough or ww,
To reap or mow,
Or in the barn to thrash, sir,
All's one to me,
I plainly see,
Twill bring me health and cash, sir.
The lawyer leads a harrass'd life,
Much like that of a hunted otter,
And 'tween his own and others' stiife,
lie's always in hot water
For foe or friend,
A cause defend,
However wiong must be, sir
In reason's spite,
Maintain 'tis right,
And dearly earn his fee, sir.
The doctor styled a gentleman,
Jtut this 1 hold but humming:
Tor, like a tavern waiting man,
To every call "he's coining,"
Now here, now there,
Must he repair.
Or starve, sir, by denying :
Like death himself,
Unhappy elf,
He lives by others' dying.
A farmer's life thpn lot me live,
Obtaining while I lead it,
Enough for self, and some to givo
To uuch poor souls as need it.
I'll drain and fence,
Nor grudge expense,
To give the laud good dieting
I'll plough or sow,
Or drill in row.
And hope from Heaven a blessing.
Kpigraiii.--Impromptu.
Of modern books, the best I know,
The author all the world is thanking,
One written more for use than show,
Is quaintly titled, "Conge on Banking,"
But still improvements might be made,
Whilst books on books the world is scrouging,
I et Jtiild'c try In help the trade.
And write one tilled, "Banks ou Gouging."

Amusing Incident.
A correspondent of the St. Louis
veiling tlazette, in a letter dated l'e
.ia, 111., gives the following very aimi
ng incident, of which he was an eye
itness a few days previous:
"A young mail from Uoston, or that
icinity, with a friend, was sauntering
long the bunk of the river, when they
iseovcrcd a fine buck swimming a
ross from the opposite shore ; one of
iu party went for a rifle, while the
thcr remained to watch the buck. I5e
rc the former returned, the buck had
early reached the shore, when young
tried to prevent his landing until his
llinois friend returned with the rille.
.'he buck immediately turned and made
jr the other shore again. Fearing he
vas going to loose the prize, 1 lost no
imc, but stripping himself, and taking
t penknife in his teeth, he plunged in
ifter the Animal, lie overtook and
Kissed him in the middle of the stream,
md seizing him by the head, cut his
liiv.nt with his knife, and taking the
leer by one of his hinder legs, endea
vored to drag him ashore. The letter
tad no thought of yielding his life with,
out a struggle, and gave his enemy a
ir.-mcndous kick, who, changing his po
sition, took his prey by one of the ears,
and alter considerable cfibrt succeeded
in bringing him to the shore, greatly to
the relief of his friend, who had come
with a musket, ami had been an anxi
ous spectator to the danger to w hich his
Yankto rornpanion had unconsciously
fx posed hhnsclt."
TUK DREAM OP l.OVK.
Tho' tha Bard to a purer fame may soar,
When wild youth's past ;
Tho' ho win the wise, who frown'd before,
To smile at last ;
He'll never know a joy so dear,
In all his noon of fame ;
As when first he sung to woman' car,
His soul-felt flame;
And at every close she lean'd to hear
The one loved name ;
Oh ! there's nothing half so sweet in life,
Aa love's young dream ! Tom Moori.
fientlo reader, the story which I shall relate,
though melancholy, occured in my native State,
the green and glorious little Delaware, the land of
tha beautful and the brave, the homo of the gifted
and the graceful.
Tho fair and fascinating Julia Granville was sea-,
ted on an ottoman in her boudoir, near a window,
into which crept a honey-suckle, fulling the room
with its delightful odor. She had just finished drcs
sing herself in her evening habit, and expected in
an hour the presence of him to whom she had yiel
ded up her heart, and who was the next day to lead
her to the sacred alter of marriage.
The beautiful Julia was the (laughter ofIr.
Granville, who had retired from the praclico of his
profession, and lived only to idolize and worship
his only child. She had been elegantly educated
and highly accomplished. She possessed a brilliant
imagination, and wrote verses with great facility.
Her father's heart was fixed upon seeing her hap.
pily mairied, as al his advanced age, ami iu his in
fnm health, he could not possibly remain long with
her. Many a gay and gallant, as well as gifted
youth bowed Jown at her feet and wooed her heart,
but alas ! as of limes the case, too much flattery,
which judiciously used is the nearest road to a wom
an's heart, had made her a coquette, who of all God's
creation is tho most contemptible creature. 1 knew
Julia from her childhood, and spent many happy
hours with her on the banks of tho Schuylkill when
she was at school, and at College, in Philadelphia.
Her heart was generous and full of feeling, when
nature lulled her volatile spirit to repose, and her
coquetry was excusable in some degree, in conse
quence of her having been much troubled by her
many adtniiers, and never having met one whom
she loved. But tho hour of her tyranny was soon
to end, the sceptre of slaveiy wag to fall from her
hand, and the fair Julia was in turn to become the
slave oflove. It was in the year 1833, that the
warm heaitcd.btave and talented Francis Fielding
camo as a young surgeon from tho Navy, to spend
a few months with a relative in town. No sooner
had Julia seen him, than the god oflove levelled
his arrow at her bosom. The aim was sure, and
the gay, fascinating, and seemingly heartless girl,
was soon wandering in solitude, sighing in secret,
and wishing, without acknowledging the fact, that
she could obtain an interview. Her lute was ne
glected, her song was no longer heard merrily ringing
through the hall, and in short, she was no longci
the same being.
Chanco gave them en interview. Her father
having known the father of Francis, invited tho no
ble young man to his house, which was the very
thing desired by Francis, for ho had gazed upon
Julia's lovely form, which had never been indebted
to uncouth bustles or bishops for its grace. (Pardon
me, lady reader; I am aware that imperious fashion
will I obeyed.) Their eyes met, end mutual
passion was the consequence. The fair Julia was
no longer a coquette,
Whose heart is in her eyes,
Who tramples feelings that she caunol prize,
But in the language of Tom Moore,
"She blushed when ho prais'd her, and wept when he
blamed."
Time passed on, and the lovers were engaged.
The consent of the father was givin freely, for her
marriage woulJ consummate all that he looted for
in life. He was in his eightieth year, and his head
was blossoming for the grave.
Julia was seated on the ottoman, as we have rep
resented in tho begining, indulging in a rich dream
of love, a reverie of future bliss. The maid who
had d i eased her iu her rich attire left the loom and
and closed tho door, for she saw that her mistress
was lost in contemplation. Suddenly she thought
of Henry Morton, to whom, in acopiettinh moment,
she had promised her baud, and who still claimed
it, swearing that no other man should wrd her. A
coldness crept over hei heart aa her mind realized
the etartling fact, that they might meet when
Homy should hear of the intended matriage.
Julia's distress of m'r.ij continued uutil the after
noon of the next day, the day of her marriage arri
ved. "It U too late now," thought she, "and I am
told he ia sick. iShe was arrayed in her wedding
dress, and waa seated on the same ottoman. She
beard the guests assembling in the parlor, and soon
the sordid of mirth and revelry rung from many voi
ces through the halls of her childhood. All were
rejoiced at the propect of seeing Julia inado happy
At length the Kev. Dr. Bloomer arrived, and
without saying a word, entered tho room where
Julia was still reclining upon the ottoman. Ue
riot alarmed, my dear child," taiJ the good oid man,
"but I fear something has happened."
"For Heaven,! sake what it the matter," ciiej
Julia, hastily.
"An altercation took place ut the hotel, anj two
hours since I met three carriages driven at a furious
rate, in the furmosl of which was Fund "
F.ie he could end the sentence, a loud sricmn
from the parlur rung through the building, and the
lleverend Doctor, followed by the fiighuued Julia
Tho first object that met her gazt was the bleed
ing body of Fiancis, the bridegroom of death.
She swooned, and was caught in the arms of Dr.
Bloomer. By the application of salts, she slowly
recovered, but before her still lay the loved of her
heart, the dying Francis, whoso eyes were rivettcd
upon his bride, and from his bosom waa ebbing tho
red current of life. She saw his eyes gradually
close, and the pale shadows of death steal over his
manly face
The next moment the door opened, and Henry
Morton, with a wild and haggard look, rushed in.
In his right hand ho held a jewelled weapon. The
guests wero all weeping around Julia, and started
with nlarm as Henry rushed forward aud, falling
at her feet, cried aloud
"Did I not swear before Heaven that Julia should
never wed another ! My oath has been redeemed ;
he fell by my hand and your duplicity, and he lies
bleeding before you."
Mio saw the terrified guests as they fled from
the room, and she started with horror as the eyes of
Henry glared madly upon her, and as he held for a
moment the glittering dagger full befoto her gaze.
!-'ho in vain attempted to fly from his presence ; she
seemed rivettcd to the spot by a fatal enchantment,
"See," s, '.d he, with a voice of thunder, "sec this
dagger reek with the gore of your victim," as he
plunged it to his heart and fell dead ot her feet.
Julia uttered a piercing scream, and fell into
the arms of her lover.
"For Heaven's sake, my dear Julia, what i the
matter?" cried Francis, who had just arrived to be
married, and clasped her in his arms.
Julia started, opened her tearful eyes and a
woke! "Oh! Francis," said she "it was only a
dream of love, hut I was very much frightened."

A corespondent of the New York K
veiling Post, who writes from the west
crn extremity of Illinois, thus notices a
peculiarity in the administration of jus
tice arising out of the peculiar circum
stances of the people :
When I arrived at Dixon I was told
that the day before a man named
Dudgc, being at Washington Grove in
Ogle county, came into town and com
plained that he had received notice
from a certain association that he must
leave the county before the seventeenth
of the month, or that he would be look
ed upon as a proper subject for Lynch
law. lie asked lor assistance to dc
fend his person and dwelling against
the lawless violence of these men. The
people of Dixon county came together,
inu passed a resolution to the cllect
that they approved fully of what the
people of Ogle county had done, and
that they allowed 3Ir. Jjtidge the term
of four hours to depart from the town
of Dixon. He went away immediately,
ana in great trepidation. J. his lJudge
is a notorious confederate and harborer
of horse-thieves and counterfeiters.
The thinly settled portions of Illinois
are much exposed to the depredations
of horsc-thicves, who have a kind of
centre of operations in Ogle county,
where it is said that they have a justice
of the peace and a constable among
their own associates, and where they
contrive to secure a friend on the iury
whenever any one of their number is
tried. Trial after trial has taken place,
and it has been found impossible to ob
tain a conviction on the clearest evi
dence until last April, when two horse
thieves being on trial, eleven of the ju
ry threatened the twellih a taste of the
cow-skin unless ho would bring in a
verdict of guilty. He did so, the men
were condemned and before they were
removed to the state of prison, the court
house was burnt down and the jail was
iu flames, but luckily they were extin
guished without the liberation of the
prisoners. Such at length became the
general feeling of insecurity, that three
hundred citizens of Uglc county, as I
understand, have formed themselves in
to a company of volunteers for the pur
pose o clearing the county of these
men. Two horse-thieves have been
seized and flogged, and IJudgc, their
patron, had hecn ordered to remove or
abide the consequences.
In another part of the letter, the wri
ter says :
The regulator of Ode county remo
ved l'udge's family on Monday last,
and demolised hishouse. He made
preparations to defend himself, and
kept twenty armed men about him for
two clays, but thinking, al last, that the
regulators did not mean to carry their
threats into eiloct, ho dismissed them
Ho has taken refuge with his friends,
Aikin family, who live, I .believe, in Jef
ferson CJrove, in the same county, and
who it is said, have also received no

From ficittlcg'i Miscellany. 1
A ) III II AT WHIST.
W'c had been playing all the evening
at whist. Our stake had been gold
tnohur points, and twenty on the rub
ber. Maxcy, who is always lucky, had
won five consecutive bumpers, which
left a self-satisfied smile on his counten
ance, and made us, the losers, look any
thing but pleased, when he suddenly
changed countenance, and hesitated to
play : this tho more surprised us, since
he was one who seldom pondered, be
ing so perfectly master of the game,
that he deemed long considerations su
perfluous. "l'lay away, Maxcy ; w hat are you
about ?" impatiently demanded Church
hill, one of the most iinpcteous youths
that ever wore the uniform of the body
guard.
"Hush !" responded Maxcy, in a
tone which thrilled through us, at the
same time turning deadly pale.
"Arc you unwell?" said another, a
bout to start up, for he believed our
friend had suddenly been taken ill.
"For the love of peace sit quiet !" re
joined the other, in a tone denoting ex
treme fear or pain, and he laid down his
cards, "If you value mv life move not.
"What can he mean f has he taken
leave of his senses ?" demanded
Churchill, appealing to himself.
"I 'ont starf ! don't move, I tell yon !
in a sort of whisper I never can forget,
uttered Maxey. "If you make any
sudden move 1 am a dead man !"
We exchanged looks. He continu
ed, "Kemain quiet, and all may yet be
well. I have a Cobra Capella round
my leg."
Our first impulse was to draw back
our chairs; but an appealing look from
the victim induced us to remain, al
though we were aware, that should the
reptile but transfer one fold, and attach
himself to any other of the party, that
individual might already be counted as
a dead man, so fatal is the bile of that
dreadful monster.
Poor Maxcy was dressed as many
old residents still dress in India name
ly, in breeches and silk stockings ; he
therclorc the more plainly lelt cvcrr
movement of the snake. His counten
ance assumed a livid hue; the words
seemed to leave his mouth without that
feature altering its position, so rigid
was his look, so fearful was he lest
the slighest muscular movement should
alarm the serpent, ami hasten his bite.
e are in agony little less than his
own during the scene.
"He is coiling round !" murmured
Maxcy; "I feel him cold cold to my
limb; and now he tightens! for the
love of heaven call for some milk! I
dare not speak loud ; let it be placed on
the ground near me ; let some be spilt
on the floor.
Churchill cautiously gave the order,
and a servant shpt out ot the room.
"Don't sir : Northcote, you moved
your head, ny cvcryinmg sacrcn, j
coniure yon do not do so again! Jt
cannot be long ere my fate is decided
I have a wife and two children in Ku-
rope; tell them I died blessing them
that mv last prayers were tor them i
the snake is winding itself round mv
calf: I leave them all I vossess. 1
can almost fancy I feel his breath
Great Heaven! to die in such a man
ner !"
The milk was brought, and carefully
put down ; a few drops were sprinkled
on the floor, and the affrighted servants
drew back.
Again Maxcy spoke :
"Xo, no ! it has no cllect ! on the
contrary, he has clasped hitnscli tighter
he has uncurled his upper fold ! 1 dare
not look down, but I am sure he is a-
bout to draw back, and give the bite of
death with more fatal precision, A
gain he pauses. I die firm ; but this is
past endurance ; ah! no, he has undone
another fold, and loosens himself. Can
he be going to some one else ?" we in
voluntarily started. "For the love ol
Heaven, stir not! 1 am a dead man;
but bear with inc. He still loosens, he
is about to dart ! Move not, but be
ware ! Churchill, he falls oil' that way.
Oh ! this agony is to hard to bear ! A
nothcr pressure, and I am dead. No !
he relaxes!" At that moment poor
Maxey ventured to look down ; tho
snake had unwound himself; the last
coil had fallen, and the reptilo w as ma
king for the milk.
"I am savcd! saved!" and Maxey
bounded from his chair, ami fell sense
less into the arms of one of bis servant:
the snake w as killed, and our poor
friend carried more dead than alive to
his room.
That scene I can never forget: it
dwells on my memory still, strengthen
ed by the fate of poor Maxey, who from
that hour pined in hopeless imbecility,
and sunk into an early grave.
Dr. IIexuv, an Irish .Surgeon of the
Cfdli Regiment, gives the following ac
count of the horrible superstition of
the natives ot India :
"When we reflect that the inhabi
tants of the valley of the Ganges arc in
number at least thirty millions ; that the
superstitious reverence ior the sacred
i.vcr induces every familv who can
possibly approach it to commit their
dead to its waters ; and that far the
greater part of tho year the atmosphere
is very hot we may form some no
tion of the multitude of human corpses,
in every stage ot dissolution, that must
be perpetually mixed with or bouyant
on the flood the surface waters must
be actually a decoction of putridity. It
can be no wonder that infectious disea
ses, with cholera at the head, should
eternally hover over this gigantic open
sewer ot nengal, and diverge tar and
from its centre of corruption. Dr.
Henry has a description of the scene
too painful to be quoted. We can but
allude to the enormous Hocks ol vul
tures and other birds of prey eternally
flapping and screaming over the float
ing masses ol decay, tearing and disem
luivrliiirr tinlrd rnrrnssns of men wo
men ancf children. Rut the horror of
horrors is the fact that the voyager can
never keep near the shore for an hour
at a time without seeing some old,
worn out, decrepid grandfather or
grandmother, carried to the verge of
the stream by the hands of their own
offspring, their mouths stuffed with the
holy river grass, anil the yet gasping
bodies tumbled into the flood. e are
weary of hearing that such usages could
not be interrupted without alienating
the minds of the hindoos. No super
stition was supposed to be more deeply
rooted than the horrid one of the JSut
lee but a single rescript put that abo
mination down and, except from cer
tain sleek Brahmins interested in the
matter of burning fees, not one voice
has been heard to complain of the abo
lition. The same as to infanticide in
some extensive districts, where it had
prevailed from a remote antiquity.
Who can doubt that all these diabolical
atrocities have always been perpetra
ted amidst the secret loathing of the
priest-ridden population of India? It
is of the very essence of such tyranny
that it succeeds in suppressing all out
ward show of aversion on the part cf
its victims :

woman, about thir-five yoars old. Though ncrr
mairied, it is understood that the his a number cf

That she is a graceful performer, is of course, true,
but her triumphs have not I-een vrn by ertisuc
merit. She is, on the stage, a fine locking unimu';
sho appears there divested of all the decent iea of
her sex, and draws around her, whenever she ex
hibits herself, the depraved and sensual, of all class

delphia, New York and Dobton, or the asses of Bal

her person to the public gae, are attracted by tho
admirable skill and grace with which she dances,
is exquisitely absurJ. If ihese people h ,ve so eu
