"From the Lady's Buck,
The Ptfetry of Childhood.
HT MISS CATHIISt 1. SHOOK I.
The poelry of childhood's year !
How deeply da we feel,
Tn the young heart, lire lairy dreamt
That o'er the spirit
A o studied words then give them birth ;
Wild a the unfnrmM air,
That breaths from the -Eolinn harp,
Vt melody ia there.
And oft aa life's dull ycara roll ly,
Upon some glowing psge,
We meet the misty thoughts that came,
In childhood'a golden age,
Clothed m the light of genius, then
An ecstasy, unknown,
flushes upon the heart 10 find
It has not felt alone.
O'i, sympathy ! Thou bond of Min !
Thou gulden thread ! which hinds
In union sweet, though aevei'd here,
The bright and kludred niioda,
How dors my spirit pine fur ihee !
And feeling' deepest tone
Thrill when a glance bctraya a aoul
Congenial to my own.
lUil oh ! how tarely are such gleams
Ot brightness, to earth given ;
Then let my spirit fondly dream,
"i'ls bliss reserved for heaven.
The Miser
There is a man who always seems
The pink of true perfection ;
He goes to meeting Sabba h tiny,
And never doubts election.
They My he lives an honest life,
Was never known to mutter ;
To hear him speak you would not dream
llix mouth would dilute butter.
He'll biln yoo when he ran in trade,
And think it not uncivil ;
He was a prcoioas scoundrel m ule,
ith heart o'er full of evil.
' I'm s iid to gain a gront he would
A tenJcr orphan, cheat her ;
And clime, to cut the sut-t out,
To death fat musqueloc.
He cheats himself, his neigtrbors too
And when from earth he pluses :
Satan to see his little soul
Will have to use his glasses.
A Bitter Word.
How few who speak hitter word,
fan It-It the pang it gtves ;
What angry feelings baih it stirred!
W hat malice it revives!
Like a barbed arrow, sure and deep,
It sinketh in the breast,
And though for years it seems to ahep,
' 1'ii an unquiet guest.
(), let the words'of kindness move
And dwell upon your lips ;
For passion, so estranged to love,
Will brightest joys eclipse.

Our life is hut a winter's day ;

Delivered Jan. lstli, 14.
Fki.iaw Citizens : About to enter upon
ii iy second and last Constitutional term of office,
as the Chief Executive magistrate of the Com
monwealth, I avail myself of the occasion now
presented, tu renew to my fellow-citieens the
iinniinciatioii of the principles which will guide
my course in the performance ol Uie high du
ties iuiKiod upon me by the constitution and
laws. It is a source of mnch gratification to
me to tt h to, tlmt it is comparatively a brief and
easy Visk. 'J he address w hich I Irud the hon
or to deliver tu my fellow-citizens on iiry first
induction into office, contains so comprehensive
and minute an ex pre anion of my views on nil
.Treat questions of policy, that could reasonably j ma,,.rjany restricted
peculation has been checked. The undue
multiplication of tho public debt has been re
strained, and improvident and wasteful txprn
ditures -jf the public funds arrested. Experi
ence has painfully oVmonBtratfd to the convic
tion of all. what thesigncioua foresight of some
apprehended -tlmt nations, like individual,
when tlmy make ''tixj great haste to get rich"
are in danger of bankruptcy end ruin.
Wc had not yet fortunately, reached the fa
tal point, from which there was no prospect of
escape; hut we were verging eo near, as to
render our recite ohke timely and perilous.
Cases of individual hardship no doubt ex irt,
patience, industry and enterprise will effect
a cure in nroM fti.'etii ; atsd for those thntare
remediless, t can Iwt express our sympathy
and our sorrow. 1 trust the latter class is hut
limited in number and extent. The Common
wealth, herself, after a short struggle borne
with fortitude characteristic of her citir.ens
and the integrity that (r'y would scvrn to tar,
nhA, Will "oYvroonic" all her pecuniary drfficul
Irefl -will faithfully fulfil her engagements and
proudly maintain her honesty and her fame.
If there be any ot her citizens w'to would pur
sue a different course, they will be left undis
turbed in the enjoyment f their peculiar opin
ions, and will he poinW st by the rest of their
fellow c it irens, as the victims of come mad and
datig;rous delusion.
Reformation in its abuses, and economy in
the expenditures of government, are now made
cardinal innxjms of policy, by all who have the
good of their country at heart Much benfit
has already resulted, and more it is hoped will
in future result from the practical operation of
this pojtular feeling.
Let it reach every department were enlight
ened prudence and wisdom point the way.
Happily wc have not, under our government,
any of those time honored abuses and corrup
tions, which in other countries strike their roots
so deeply into the constitution, as to endanger
its existence by their extirpation. We can'cor-
rect every abuse, and eradicate every corrup
tion, without touching the vitality of the con
stitution itself.
In entering upon the last term of office to
which the constitution restricts me, I may ven
ture to hope, 1 shall be credited w hen I assure
my fellow citizens, that my ambition is satisfied,
and my gratitude for the honor conferred upon
me, most lively and sincere. I trust 1 shall not
be doomed justly obnoxious to the charge in my
official course, of looking oil my acts and re
commendations, to further preferment or re-election.
I trust too the labor of those who
hav e felt it to be their duty, or their interest, to
assail and prevert the measures which met my
sanction, will be lightened, and their ingenuity
relieved of its onerous taxation, to render their
hostility effectual. Henceforth I do most fond
ly hope, we shall all act harmoniously together,
in our respective capacities, fir the advance
incut of the public good, lorgetting every other
consideration, and dismissing every other conn-
sol, but those which patriot ism inspires. And
may that Peing whr.se Providence lias ever
guided and guarded our beloved Commonwealth,
through the vicisitudes of both prosperity and
adversity, still watch over it, and make the
promotion of all its interests, his peculiar caTe.

London Post Oilier.
The extent of the operations in this ciflice
may be conjectuted from tiro number of men
employed. There are KM letter receivers and
7'J I letter carriers. Including clerks and others
directly employed, not less than l.OOtt persons
are connected with the 1-omlon Post Office.
The letter receivers pass about certain dittricts
of the city, aud receive letters in a bag, through
an opening similar to the one of the Post Office.
For each letter, the receiver gets a penny, aud
the bag cannot be opened, except by those au
thorized by the Government. The postage on
a letter weighing half an ounce, is one penny,
Kvery additional half ounce is charged with an
additional half ensjy. This is the rate of post
age to every part of Great Britain. Newspa
pers are not subject to portage, provided tliey
, are mailed within eight days after tliey arc
j printed. Tho franking privilege is entirely

On Monday evening it was announced, (hut the
MUml Bank had marie an assignment aud would
be closed on Tuesday, Early in the morning of
Tuesday, an immense crowd assembled in front of
the hank, which is very near tire room occupied by
the Oinrionaii Hank. Upon the door of the latter
was a notice that it would be closed for SO days,
after which lime it would redvem its paper. This
caused great excitement lho exasperated crowd
increased, ami about 9 o'clock, a mob InMte open
the door arid found that every thing had been re
moved riccpt the desks at; J counter. these were
broken and l!iiovii into the streets.
A little after one o'clock the mob commenced

notes very promirtly p ro this time, but when the
breaking commenced he gathered what he could
and retreated. The interior of his oHice was soon
demolished end the contents thrown into the sire, t
book, psper., and all that could lie f .und. Th.
doors, window, und counters were compVtcly ele

In the town of Alyth, in Scotland, there Inte-
lived a man of much provincial celebrity, of
the name of Jaina Kandy. The originality of
genius and ccccnttrcity of character which dis
tinguished this remarkable person have been
rarely snrpasacd. Deprives! at an early ago of
the use of his legs, he contrived by dint of in
genuity not only to pass his time agreeably,
but to render himself a useful member of so
ciety. He soon displayed a taste for mechani
cal pursuits, and contrived as a workshop for
his operations a sort of circular hed, the sides
of which being raised about eighteen inches a
bovo the clothes, were employed as a plalfoim
for turning lathes, ta'jle vices, for tools of all
kinds. His genius for practical mechanics
was universal. He was skilled in all sorts of
turning, and constructed several very curious
lathes, as well as clocks and musicul instru
ments of every description no less admired for
the sweetness of their tone and the elegance
of their execution. He excel led too in the
construction of optical instruments', and made
pome reflecting telescopes, the specula of which
were not inferior to those finished by the most
eminent Iximhm artists. Ho suggested some
important improvements in the machinery for
spinning flax ; nnd we believe, ho was tho first
who made the wooden jointed snuffboxes, gen
erally called Laurence kirk boxes, some of
which fabricated by this self-taught artist were
purchased and sent as presents to the royal
