STRAY THOUGHTS
I=
Yon and 1, funny creatures—are we not?
Here to-day, to-morrow—where?
Erer changing this our lot,
Joy or sorrow, ease orcare—
Thus we journey on through life,
Meeting, partings friends and foes,
jiingling is the daily strife,
Sharing in its bliss and woes—
Going, coming,
'Till we die,
Ever roaming,
You and 1.
You and I, fenny creatures—do you doubt ?
Remember this when next we meet,
Doubtless, then you 11 find it out,
As we pass upon the street:
Do we smile as brothers should?
A kindly glance from out the heart,
And drop a word, is oft we could,
Thus show a manly friendly part?
Daily meeting,
Passing b],
s
Never ving,
•
You and 1.
You and I, funny creatures—coon to me
The heart's last throb will come and ge,
And your own will cease to be
A. course of life whims pleasures dew;
Then, Smiles that given now, will form
The eier the boundless sea,
Where friends will gather thro' the storm,
Refteetions there of thee and — me—
Whilst ail alone
Those forms will lie,
That once were known
As you and I.
?HS RAINY DAY
day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains i and the *iad is never Weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day Is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dream;
It rains, and the wind is never weary ;
My tho'ss still cling to the mouldering past,
But bcipes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad beart t 'and cease repining;
Behind the cloud, is the sun still shining;
Thy fates the common fate of all,—
In each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

A 461aitter Coureireee.
One of the most memorable passages
ever uttered by -Kr. Webster, was in
vindication of the authority of con
science and of Providence, on a trial
for a dark and mysterious warder.—
" The guilty eoul cannot keep its own
secret, it is false to itself, or rather it
feels an irresistible influence to be true
to itself. it labors under guilty pos
session, and knows not. what to do with
it. The human heart was not made fur
the residence of such an inhabitant. It
finds itself preyed upon by a torment
which it does not acknowledge to God
or man. A vulture is devouring it, and
it can ask no sympathy on earth. The ,
secret which the murderer possesses, I
soon comes to possess him; and like the
evil spirit of which we read, it over
c nnes hint, and leads him whithersoever
it will. He feels it beating at his heart,
rising, to his throat, and demanding dis
closure. lie thinks the whole world
sees it in his face, reads it in his eyes,
and almost hears its working in the
very- silence of his thoughts. It has
become his master. It betrays his dis
cretion, it, breaks down his courage, it,
conquers his prudence. When sus
picion fromlalthout begins to embar
ras him an.kthe net of circumstances
to entangle him, the fatal secret strug
gles with still greater violence to burst
forth. It must be confessed; and it
will be confessed; there is no refuge
from confession but suicide ; and suicide
is confession."
Tie 11!wta et the World
What this change is to be we dare not
even conjecture, but we see !n the
heavens themselves some traces of de
structive elements and some indications
of their power. The fragments of
broken planets—the descent of meteoric
stones upon our globe-the wheeling
comets welding their loose materials at
the solar furnace—the volcanic eruption
in our own satelite—the appearance of
new stars, and the disappearance of
others—are all foreshadows of that im
pending convulsion to which the system
of the world is doomed. Thus placed
on a planet which is to be burned up,
and under heavens which are to pass
away; thus reading, as it were, on the
cemeteries and dwelling upon the mau
soleums of former worlds, let ns learn
the lesson of humility and wisdom, if
we have not already been taught in the
school of revelation.—North British
Beriew.

old woman to rne, well, Buck, as it is a
sort of dark, cloudy, wet sort of drizzly
day, says she, had'nt you better take
your umbrill. Says I to tile old wo

vanced down towards Ringgold, and
when I got down thar, Mr. Cole corned,
' and says be, uncle Buck, have you seed
any thing of old neighbor Harris?—
Says Ito Mr. Cole, for why ? Says ho,
ho gigot my umbrill. (The witness was
here intetrupted by the Court and told
to confine himself to the actual fray be
tween the prisoner and Colo, the prose
cutor. In answer to which the witness
remarked, in a tone of indignant re
monstrance. Well now, Mr. Judge,
you bold on, for I am sworn to telt the
truth, and I am agwine to tell it my own
way—so taint worth while fbr you to
say nothing more about it—whereupon
the court and commonwealth's attorney
being anxious to get rid of the witness
on any terms told him to go, on and tell
the tale in his own way.) Well, as I
was a going on to say. 'twos on 'lection
day. Buchanan and Filmo was a can
ning for the legislator, and says I to
my old woman, old woman, says I, I

umbrill. •
Arter a while, I posited my vote, and
then Mr. Cele and me advanced back
towards home, and Mr. Cole was tight
er than I ever s,ed him. And so we
advanced along till we got to whar the
road and path forked, and Mr. Cole and
me tack the path, as any other gentle
man would, and arter advancing a while,
we arriv to old neighbour Hernia a set
tin' tm a log with the nmbrill on his arm,

Ono darlast week, says the Butern
Argue, a merchant in Gardiner, Me.,
offered to give a barrel of tour to Rev.
Charles Blake, a Baptist minister in
that city, provided , the young. ladies
would haul it to him. To this they
consented, and having obtained a small
pair of trucks, the barrel of sour was
placed thereon, and about forty young
ladies took ho'd of the ropes and drew
the barrel about half a . mile,•up one of
the steepest hills in Gardiner, to the
minister s Louse. The Gardiner, s Band,
seeing what was going on, headed the
procession, and played some excellent
music. There was a large crowd to
witness the proceedings, and a cabins
maker brought out a very handsome
rocking chair, which he fastened to the
barrel, and let it go as an additional
present to the minister.

' When a lady' "(we are talking of a
lady in the full height and breadth -of
fashion) has got her bonnet and gloree
on, and is perfectly .ready with her
parasol in hand, she always goes back
to the looking glass to take a last fond
look. Upon our asking "dear, hand.
some duchess" jf this was not the truth,
and the bessistifnl truth, she had the
charming candor to state, " Yes, my
dear Punch, it is the truth, but not nll
the truth. No woman, take my word
for it, is satisfied with one look. At
least I know that I am not, for (and
here our duchess laughed, as though
she was pleased with herself and all the
world) 1 don't mind telling you, I in
variably take four, four good ones.—
The first look in the glues is for myself,
that's fair; the second is for my hus
band, that's nothing but just ; the third
f)r my friends, that's only generous;
the fourth is for my rivals, that's human
nature If the last look satisties me,
then I know it is all right, and I assure
von I never take any more."—Leaden
-Punch.

WASHINGTON'S OPINION Or ?ATEA
210NEIC.
The following let .er, written by Gen.
Washington more than seventy years
ago, on the paper or bank currency
question, will be read just now with no
ordinary interest :
MOUNT VERNON, Feb. 27, 1785
Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 80th
lilt came duly to hand. To give an
opinion in a cause of so much impor
tance as that which has warmly agita
ted the two branches of your legislature
and which, from the appeal that is
made, is likely to create great and per
haps clangorous divisions, is rather a
delicate matter; but as this diversity
;of opinion is on a subject which has, 'I
believe, occupied the minds of most men.
' and as my sentiments long before the
assembly either of Maryland:or this
State was convened, I do not scruple to
declare that in had a voles in year leg
islature, it would have been given deci
dedly against. a paper emission, upon
the general principle of its utility as a
representative and the necessity of it
as a mediuzn. To assign reasons for
this opinion would be as unnecessary
as tedious ; the ground has been GO sago
trod that a place hardly remains un•
touched; in a word, the necessity aril
ing. from a want. of specie is represen
ted as greater than it really is. I con
tend that it is by the eubstance, not the
shadow of a tbing,that we are to be ben
efited.
Tho wisdom of man; In my humble
nion, cannot, at this time, devise a
• ..by which the credit of paper mo
tif" Would be long supported ;• cense.
AffigiW, depreciation keeps pace' with
the q entity of emission, and articles
'for it is 'est:hanged rise in a
greate do than the sinking value ar
the money. Wherein, then, is the far:
mer, the planX, e and the artisan ben*.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
MULNII.4I4 AND miss CONSTITrTION.
We lay before oar readers the seed
ale of the new comititntion prepared
by the convention at Lecompton. The
seedule is that part of the constitu
tion which provides for 7 the transition
from the system that now is to that
which is to be, and prescribes in what
manner it shall become binding as the
fundamental law of the land. In the
despatches received a day or two since,
this temporary machinery, with which
all new constitutions must be preceded,.
is called a provisional government, and
some nervous persons perhaps were
alarmed at the revolutionary sound of
the words. It is the mere scaffolding
to be used by the people while they aro
putting up the permanent fabric Of
their righto,und then it will be 'used no
more. In the mean time all their terri
torial laws remain hi full fbree until' the
constitution takes their plaCe, exceptin
so fer as this ichednia' is nsqd for ear-
Tying on the election.
' This schedule submits the constitu
tion to the White inhabitants of kaftans;
acknowledge" the people of the new
State to be thoottly tribunal that can
rightfhlly determine what its domestic
institution shall be) and gives Phil,
practical, and fair effect t 6 the great
principle of popular sovereignty. On
the Slat day otilmenthert next the elec
tor". May meet at-their;proper - : pities Of
Toting and express! their opinions tor
ballet on the question of shrverror nie
slavery. If *a majority' shalt vote OR
favor of slavery, then the •prevision
which makes Kansas a slave State:will
remain in-the Constitution, and In that
shape shall be laid before - Oongres&
Bat If the greater number ofteitots be
cast the other way, that provision shall
be stricken opt, and every negro in the
State, or hereafter to go there shall be
free, exceptxfow who are no* there in
