In the itemallections of Washington, lately

kinson, of Philadelphia. in 1795. At that
time war with France was expected, and x
patriotic feeling pervaded the community.—
r. Fox, • young singer and actor, called up
on Mr. Hopkinson one morning and said,
4 To-morrow evening has been appointed fur
my bepefit at the theatre. Not a single box
has been taken, and I fear there will be a thin
house. If you will write me some patriotic
verses to the tune of the 'President's March,'
I feel sure of a full house. Several people
about the theatre have attempted it, but they
have come to the conclusion that it cannot be
done. Yet I think you may succeed." Mr.

Cast her forth in her shame;
She is no daughter of mine;
We had an honest name,
All of our horse and line,
And she has brought us to shame.
What are yon whispering there,
Parleying with sin at the door?
I have no blessing for her ;
She is dead to me evermore :
Dead! would to God that she were
Dead! and the grass o'er her head
There is no shame in dying :
Thor were wholesome tears we shed
Where all her little sisters are lying?
And the lore of them is not dead.
I did not curse her, did I
I meant not that, 0 LIN I
We are cursed enough already;
Let her go with never a word :
I have blessed her often already.
You are the mother that bore her,
I do not blame you for weeping;
They bad all gone before her,
And she bad our hearts a-keeping;
And the lore that we bore her 1
I thought that sh4was like you ;
I thought that the light in her face
Was the youth and the morning dew,
And the winsome look of grace:
But she was never like you.
Is the nigi t dark and wild?
Dark is the way of sin--
The way of an erring child,
Dark without and within :
•
And tell me not she was beguiled.
What should beguile her, truly?
Did we not bless them both?
There was gold between them duly,
And we blessed their plighted troth ;
Though I never liked him truly.
Let us read a word from the Book ;
I think that my eyes grow dim ;
Elbe used to sit in the nook
Ti.t.re by the side of him,
And hand-.lie the holy Book.
I wot not what. ails me to-night ;
I cannot lay hold on a text.
0 Jesus ! guide me aright,
Fur my soul is sore perplexed,
And the Book seems dark as the night.
And the night is stormy and dark ;
And dark is the way of sin,
And the stream will be swollen too; and hark,
How the water pours in the Lynn !
It's as ugly ford In the dark.
What did you say ? To-night
Might she sleep i■ her little bed?
lier bed so pure and white!
How often ['rethought sad said
They were both so pure and white.
But that was a lie—for she
Wass whited sepulchre ;
Yet oh! she was white to me,
Aud I've buried my heart in her;
And it's dead wherever she be.
Nay, she never could lay hee.head
Again in the little white room
When all her little siiten were laid;
She would see them rill to the gloom,
An chaste stature—but dead.
We nUI go all together,
She, and you, and 1:
There's the black peat-hag 'moug the
Where we could all of us lee, [heather,
And bury our shame together.
Any foul place will do
For a grave to us now in our ekame :
She may be with me and you,
But she shall not sleep with them,
And the dust of my tethers too.
Is it sla, you say, I bare spoken?
I know. not; my bead feels strange ;
And something in me is broken ;
Lord, Is It the coming change?
Forgive the word I have spoken.
I scarce labs whet I have said;
Was 1 hard on her for her fall?
That we, wrong; but the rest were dead,
And I loved her more than them all—
For she heired all the love of the dead.
One by one as they died,
The love that was owing to them
Centred on her st my side;
And then she brought us to shame,
And broke the crown of my ride.
Lord, pardon mine erring child l
Do we not all of us err?
Dark was my heart and wild;
Oh, might! but look on her
Once more my lost loved child!
For I thought, not long ago,
That I was in Abraham's bosom,
And she lifted a face of woe,
Like some pale, withered blossom,
Out of the depths below.
Do not ray, when I am gone,
That she brought my gray hairs to the
grave,
Women do that ; but let her alone ;
Shell have sorrow enough to brave;
Thar would turn her heart into stone.

Dladensbusg Duelling Grounds.
BLADINSBURG, June 18, 1800
Pistols and coffee for two. As lam alone
on the classic ground I can take care that the
pistols do no harm, and the coffee,is harmless
anyhow. The place, so noted fur its polite
and refined murders, is about fire miles frum
the city, freak and handsome, in full livery of
green. adorned with fhiwers, and should blush
in its beauty for the ' , voles it has witnessed.
Here, in &beautiful little grass plat surround
ed by trees, forms, made after the image of
God, come to insult nature and defy Heaven.
In 1814, Edward llopkins wes killed here in
a duel. This seems to have been tl.e first of
these fashionable murders un this duelling
ground.
In 1819, A. T. Mason, a Cnited . States Sen
ator from Virginia. fought with his si,ter's
husband, John McCarty, here. McCarty
was averse to fighting, and thought there was
no necessity for it ; but Mason' would fight.
McCarty named muskets loaded with buck
shot, and so near together that they would hit
beads if they fell un their faces. This was
changed by the seconds to loading with bul
let*, and taking twelve feet as the distance.
Mason was killed instantly, and McCarthy,
who had his collar bone broken, still lives
with Mason's sister in Georgetown. His heir
turned so gray soon after the fight as to cause
much comment. He has since bees solicited
to act as a second in a duel, but refused in
accordance with a pledge made to his wife
soon after killing her brother.
Ia 1820, Commodore Decatur was killed in
a duel here by Commodore Barron. At the
first fire bath fell forward and be th lay with
their beads within ten feet of each ether, and
as each supposed himself mortally wounded.
each fully and freely forgave the other, still
lying on the ground. Decatur expired in a
few days, but Barron eventually recovered.
In 1821. two strangers, named Lege and Sega
appeared here, fought, and Sega was instant.
ly killed. The neighbors only learned this
much of their names from the marks on their
gloves left on the ground. Legs was not hurt.
In 1822, Midshipman Locke was killed here
in a duel with a clerk of the Treasury Depart
ment atoned Gibson. The latter was not
hurt. In 1826, Henry Clay fought (his *w
end duel) with John Randolph, just across
the Putontse, as Randolph preferred to die,
if at all, on Virginia soil, recetved Clay's shot,
and then Bred his pistol in the air. This was
Bi z
in ' rdenee with a deelaratioo made to Mr.
0 D, who WAD tO Raodolph of call the
er before on Mrs. Clay. and alluded to
the quiet sleep of tier child, and the repose of
the mother. Randolph quickly replied. "I
shall do nothing to disturb the sleep of the
child or the repose of the mother."
General Jessup, whose funeral I attended
last week, wy Clay's second When Ran
dolph fired he remarked: "I do not s aboot
at you, Mr. Clay," and extending his hand,
advanced toward Clay, whu rushed to meet
him. Randolph showed Clay where his ball
struck his coat, and said, facstiuusly, " Mr.
Clay, you owe me a coat." Clay replied:
" Thank GA the debt is no greater." They
were friends ever after. In 1832 Martin was
tilled here by Carr. The lint names are not
remembered. They were from the South.
In 1833, Mr. Ki..y son of Frank Key. and
brother of Barton Key of Sieklm notoriety.
met Mr. Sherhorii here in fight. Alter reach
ing the ground, Mr. Sherborn said: "Mr.
Key, I hare uo desire to kill you." t• No
matter," said Key, "1 same w kill yorr."-
0 Very well, they," said Sherborn, " I will
now kill you ;" and be did.
In 1838, W. J. Graves, of Kentucky, SIM
miming the quarrel of James Watson Ws
and Jonathan Cilley, of Maine, selected this
place for Cilley's reqrder, but the parties
earning that Webb, with two friends, Jack
son and Morrel, were armed and in pursuit,
for the purpose of assassinating Cilley, moved
tuirard the river and nearer the city. Their
pursuers moved toward the river, but missed
the parties, and then returned to the city, to
which they were soon followed by Graves,
and the corpse of Cilley. In 1845, n lawyer
named Jowl fought with and killed a be.
Johnson. In 1851. R. A. Houle and A. .1.
Dallas had q meeting hate. Dallas was shot
in the shoulder. but recovered. In 1852,
Daniel and Jubnson, two Richmond editors,
held a harmless set-to here, which terminated
in euffee. 101853, Darla and Ridgway fought
here; Ridgway allowed his eutagoinet to ties
without returning the shot.
L Real Poem.—We hardly knOw when
moonlight and love have been more beautiful
ly united than in this beautiful verse in a late
poem of Gen. Geo. P. Morris :
s. I love the night when the moon sheens bright
On !Sowers that drink the dew ;
When cascades shoot as the stare peep out
From boundless fields of blue.
But d far than moon or star,
Or flowers of gaudy hue,
Or murmuring thrills of mountain rills,
I love, love, love—you."—XxcAarsge.
&me apite:ful fellow, nut haring any mask
in his soul, wrote the following as a set of to
the above:
"1 lore the sight, when the foam sheens white
On lager of amber hue ;
When Switzer cheese compels the sneeze
From noses old and blue.
But far more dear than lager beer,
Or potent Switzer—whew!—
Or mustard spread on the brown rye bread,
I lore, lore, lore—yon."
Curious Alleged Discovery in Floriculture.
—lt is said that ex-Mayor 'fiemaun, of New
York, at his paiht factory in Manhattanville,
has accidentally made a diseuvery which
threatens to revolutionise horticulture. One
of the factory hands having thrown some
liquid green paint of a particular kind on a
flower bed, oecupied by white anemones, the
flowers have since made their appearance
with petals u green as grass. The paint
bad in it a peculiar and very penetrating

A gentleman of the Irish persimmon hap
pening to pass that way, had his attiliation ar
rested by the noise in the buildini. and at
'nee resolved " to and out what divilnient
was on foot." It so happened that at the
time he had made his entree, the man of
" raps" was discoursing on the delightful
aiensationos experienced by the " medium"
when in the " trance state:* the "medium"
imagines himself in heaven ; and said he him
set visited heaven while in the " trance
state."
Our Irish friend could restrain his indig
nation no longer, and opened spon the rap

affinity in Michael.
" And ye lora% dreaming."
" No, Iwt 't dreaming!"
" Well, Wither Saley, you were a great
fool for larie—for be that bright sky above,
yell never get there again."
Giving tip " moving spirit" a look of "su
preme ..writimpt" Michael took his leave, and
the " circle" soon after dissolved—the lectu
rer remarking that "the spirits wouldn't move
him after this uncalled fear interruption."

♦ Pair Yield for Political Prowess
If any portion of the Douglas and Breckin
ridge men are determined to have a free fight,
and to worry and devour each other for the
benefit of the Republicans, it is only right
that they should ch.\ose for the battle ground
sueh localities as will not interfere with the
operations of that other and more patriotic
class of Democrats and Union men,who wish to
make their influence felt on the side of sound
principles, and in opposition • the Lincoln
party. There are such placea—tields of strife
—where they may fight to their hearts cot,
tent, with no serious damage beyond the bat
tering which will surely fall to the lut of the
contestants and their hackers.
With all respect for the Democracy of Mtn.•
ucbusetu, and without the slightest ill-will
towards any portion of them, we do not see
why their State, together with Vermont, and
possibly a few other hopeless Republican lo
calities, may not be set apart fur this species
of political amusement. Bot we object to
setting up the political prize ring in New
York; Pennsylvania or New Jersey; fur the
excellent reason that something better can be
done in these States than fight fur political
amusement. Wherever we deem it possible
to carry a State fur an anti-Lincoln Electoral
ticket, whether it be for Breckinridgo or Dou
glasi4 we should decidedl i r oppose any such
warfare. It is upon this principle that we
&dynaste such e'roperatiun in every State
where there is a possibility of beating the
Republicans.
It would be a pity, by a quarrel Among the
Democracy in the close and doubtful States,
or in the usually Democratic States, to throw
away the excellent•cbance fur giving the fin
ishing blow to sectionalism. Illinois, Indi
um, Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and oth
er clue States, may prevect their electoral
votes going to Lincoln by a little exercise of
good sense and good temper,--qualities high
ly essential for politicians in a campaign so
complicated as the present.—Journal of Com
merce.
What Abolitionism Has Done:
The Abolition party in 1844 defeated Hen
ry Clay. It has dissolved the great Whig
party. It has broken up the American Sun
day School Union. It has divided the Baptist
church. It has rent in twain the Methodist
church. It has broken u:s the American
Tract Society. It has produced the John
Brown raid. It has produced a disregard of
law. It has resistel the laws of the country.
It seeks fur a dissolution of the Union. Abol
itionism pulled in 1844, 43,000 votes in New
York ; in 1858 Mali ioniam pulled io the
country north of Mason & Dixon's Hoe, hun
dreds of thousands. Where are the Abulition
isu nowt Yon find no separate Conventions.
You find Joshua R. Giddings, Jana P. Hale.
Sumner. Lovejoy, Blake, of Onio, Gerrit
Smith, Fred Douglass and all the Abolition
ists of the country, urging and advocating
Lincoln sad Hamlin, merely because they
consider them orthodox Abolitionists. A
few years ago abolitionism was considered
the favorite scheme of afew fanatics and fools
—now it is gravely presented to the American
people for endorsement, and with the Jesuit
plea " the end justifies the means." In some
planes where Abolitionism is in bad odor,
they preach conservatism. and where it is
strong. Abolitionism. But the most convin
cing fact to the citizens of Pennsylvania must
be the unqualified manner in which the abol
itionists ail over the country endorse Lincoln
and Hamlin. Success used to be nothing
with them ; they boldly rephdiated success
at the saerifiee of principle. ',Voice the cur..
tbssion is irresistible: Lincoln and Hamlin
are orthodox Abolitionists. Ask yourselves
the question, are tlirre any Abilitionists:in
my neighborhood, and if there are any, how
do they stand novr 7 and ii fur Lincoln and
Ilanilin,you can rest assured from their past
history, that their oiject it dextruction to the
Union.
A Highwayman Outwitted.
"Stand and delis er," were the words ad
dressed to a tailor traveling ou foot by a high
wayman, whose brace of pistols looked rather
dangerous than otherwise.
" I'll do that with pleasure," was the re
ply, at the same time handing over to the out
stretched hands of the robber, a purse well
stocked; " but," continued he, " suppose you
do me a favor in return. My friends would
laugh at me were I to go home and tell them
I was robbed with as much patience as a
lamb ; s'pose you fire your two bulldugs right
through the crown of my hat ; it will look
something like a show of resistance."
His request wns acceded to; but hardly
had the smoke from the disch • arge of the
weapons passed away, when the tailor pulled
out a rusty old horse pistol, and in his turn
politely requested the thunder-struck high
wayman to shell out everything, his pistols
Dot omitted, about his person.
A Man Poisoned by his Daughter.—Mr.
Andrew Horton, of Chepachet, N. Y., had
been on a spree fur about four ,reeks, and
came home on Thursday night with a new
bottle of liquor, which his wile destroyed af•
ter he had gone to bed. In the morning, es
usual, he was very sick, and called for his
rum. His wife, told him she had th run it
out. Ile did not believe her, and continued
to call fur It. His daughter, who had gut up
to go to work in the tactory, heard hint call
ing for it, thoughta little liquor would stop
his sickest, as it usually did, and hearing
him begging so bard, thought she would get
him some. She looked in several rooms, and
at last, in the :closet behind the door, she
found a small bottle. She took out the cork,
smelt in the bottle, found it contained liquor,
poured out a gill, carried it to her father,
aid harried of. as the last bell was ringing,
to go work. It proved, however, to be bed
beg poison—a strong solution of corrosive
sublimate—and her tether died within three
hours.

"Every true Democrat desires. of counts

Tho above is the beginning of an editorial
in Furney's &en, against the proposed union,
of the Pennsylvania Democracy.
Who is this man who thus assumes to de
fine for" true Democrats" the path kt duty
which they must follow in the present crisis?

3. He says he is willing fo sea a union of,

against a union of the two wings of the De.

Such is the man who, assumes to direct
" true Democrats," and to tell them that they
ought not to concentrate their vote upon a 5,
union electoral ticket in Pennsylvania!
Is he entitled to speak fur the Deoghta

prefer the election of Lincoln to that of either
Breckinridge or old Joe Lane," and that a

Cnn this be true? We cannot believe it.—.
