. The Hypocrite.
See. pacing down the ai 3 le, majestic slow, i /
Yon white-haired man—him 'twould be ',well to
Efts solemn mann"r and hl grive aspect :•
Proclaint_to sinners one?of the cleft:
Who that but sees him in the hou e of prayer.
Andlietets his words of cbristian meekness there—
Behrilds his sweetly-sanctimonious smile-4
Could deem this man a bypeit-ite most yin:
Yet such be is ; religion but provides •
A ieloak, 'neath Which the old dissembler iiides
The dagg,er of his .• —whence, unseen,
Unharmed, bed strike whoe'cr may intertl i ene, .
To thwart the purpose of his dogged will,.—
E'en tho the cruel .4:11) should worse than kill.
His neighbor having wronged be .. ) owl relrpss,
He will a deep solicitude express,
And make ling prayers, and humbly ask of heaven,
That his po6i neighbot:'s - fault may be forgiven !
Amid the congregation seellm rise, 1 .
To sue for favors from beyond the skies;
With upturned eyes and meekly clasped hands,
How like a " whitened sepulchre" be stands—
In awning prayer lifts up his voice profan,
Tho God bath said "Take not my nanie vain."
We know hini by his fruits ; we know he uws
The seeds of discord wheresoe'er lit goes;!
''And oft his Wicked
, passions chafe and rent,
Like angry waves upon lhe ocean's shore
'Neath that deceitful surface lie in wait,
A tongue of slander and a licartsvf hate. :
Rut can it be that one so vile as. this
Can . lear the ehristaia name I Remenalk!.r Judas'
kiss.
Not all that sac, Lord, Lord, shall enter tleaven;"
One hypocrite was with the true eleven ;,
And iu these latter days they're prowling' still,
Like unclean beat.s,.round Zion'!" holy hill. -
And the re of divers sorts, some bad, some worse,
The diffrent kinds 'twere tedious to reheake—
But many are more dangerous than he
Whom faintiy•pictured in the: - .e yon see;
For his, in truth, i such a thin dispi,e,
A praztic,,,l l'yt2 t! C. cheat at ~ace
And the deeOved at first, s.oon come to--kuotr't—
They 'spy the wolf beneath him fleecy e,mt,
Then, if they're arise, tvhcn once the creature's
The 11 fly hisAleri and let him quite alone.
Now, Fd advise thee, venerable friend,
To mend thy way,—at leas. - t, to seem to m(nd

And seem to be so for from what thou art, .

Aaron - Barr and hts' Daughter.
An Affecting Story.

and het Charles Stewart; Ireland her Fiterald;
France her man with the Iron Mask, and her Maria
Antoniitte; Poland her Thaddeus, and Russia her
Siberitiii Exiles, But we very Much dOnbt wheth
er any exceeds in interest the touching story of Aa
ron Brirr and his highly accomplished andbeantiful
daughier Thendosia. - The rise : and fall of Burr in
the affections of his countrythen, are subjects of
deep historical interest. At Mie time we see him
carried on the wave ofimpular favor, to such_ gidt
dy heights that the Presidency itself seemed al
most within hisgnisp, which he only missed to be
cOme the second 'officer of the Republic: He be
en-me Vice Presidentof the Un i ted States; How
rapid his rise, and then hiS fall, how sudden and
complete. In consequence of his duel with Ham
ilton he became a fugitive front
_justice, is indicted
for murder by the Grand-Jury of New Jersey, flies
. to-the South. lives for a short time in ob-xmrity,
until the meeting of Coi gvess. when he comes forth,
and again takes the Chair as President of the Sen
ate. After the expiration of the term he goes to
the West. becomes the leading spirit in a scheme
of authitihn to invade Mexico, (very few believe
that he sought a dismemberment of the Union,) is
brought back a prisolter of State to Richmond,
charged with high treazott, is tried and acquitted,
is forced to leave his native Innil end go to bumf*.
In England he is snspectell,'aml retires to France,
where he lived in reduced cireurristances, at times
not being able to procure a meal •of victuals.
After an absence of several 'years he finds means
tr return home. lie lands in Boston without a cent
in his pocket, an object of distrust to Burr had
heard no t;di!nl , of his daughter since his departure
from home. He was noxious to hear from her;
her husband, and only child, in whom his soul was
bdund up. The first news he heard was that his
grandchild had ditd while he was an ciutetist in
foreign lands, which stroke of Providence he felt
keenly, for be dearly loved the boy,
Theodosia, the daughter of Burr, was the wife of
Gov. Allston of South- Carolina- She married
voting, and father was near the zenith of,.
Ins fame. She was beautiful and accomplished, a
lady of the finest fivlinz and an excellent writer, a
devoted wife, a -fond mother, and a most dutiful
and loving daughter IX/InClUlg with redoubled af
fection to the fOrt ones of herlather, as the clouds
of iftiversit c 4 gathered around him and he was de
-5(17140 by the friends whom ho formerly elonished.
Tlid first duty Burr performed after his arrival here
was to acquaint Mr , . Allston -of his ret urn. She
inunediatelv wrote back to him that she was coin
ing to see him, and would meet him -in c few weeks
in New York. This letter was couched in the most
affectionate terms. and is another evidence of the
Purity and Power orwoinan's love.
In expectation of seeing his daughter, in a few
days, Burr r&eired much pleasure. She became
- his all on rank Wife. grandchild, friends, all were
gone ; his daughter alone remained to cheer and
solace'the evviiirg if his life, and welcome him
back from his exile. 1.)..s passed on—then weeks
— wee k s were len i rthened into months, vet nought
was heard from 111-,. Ail-ton. Burr grew impa
tient. and - blir7,fi nifttli,ntlirtnrrtnnt-itivisintr44l
apt is mi , t; rt...ne to doti.l the sincerity of friend
ship. At Ik••s I, he rerek ed a letter fnim Mr. All
ston infriirinz if his wife kid arrived safe. and sta
ting that ,-he had , ailed froth Charleston sonic
week , . previous. in a veF-- , el chartered by him on
purpo-e to co vv her to New York. Not receiv
ing any tidings of her arrival. hewas anxious to
leas n -the caw-e of her -Hence.
What o •currcd to delay the re:ssel—;why had it
not arrived 5 Thee were questions which Burr
could st4k himself but no one ctmld answer. The
wa.l Ex,on told. 11n vessel never arrived.
It was undoubtellY foundered at sea, on 3 all tm
board V , :.righezi.. No tiding have ever been. re
ceived respecting the ve.isel, the crew, or the daugh
ter of Aaron Burr :di were lust.
This 1,1:t sad bereavement was only required to
fill That's cup of sorrow. The last link was brok
en whi c h bound him to life. The uncertainty of
her life hut ad•led to the poignancy of his erieL—
litipe, the last refuge of the afflictel, became ex
tinct; when years rolled on. and yet no tidings of
the beloved and lost one were gleaned.
Burr lived in New York until the year 1836, we
belie7e. when he died. The last wean, of his life
were passed in comparative obscurity. Some few
'old friends. who bad never deserted him, were his
only companioasthry dosed his eyes in death,
where he will rest tiii the, trump of the Almighty
shall call it into judgment.
Such is a brief sketch of_ the latter part of the
strange and eventful history of Aaron Burr. None
of the family now live. it has become extinct, and
his name blit lives m the history of his country,
and in the remembrance of those who knew him.

the wildest extremes.

From the American Sentinel.
The Race of the Aldermen.:
Or, *ow the Whigs lined the Locos.
By FALCO:M[IMS.
- In 183—, it chanced;in the big city of New Tod:,
lltthat -the Aldnnoseseel;ect were a_sort of lie; that
I is. so many Whigs and se many Democrats.' Bach
a .1.1&;;;;did not occur often, the. Democracy usual
ly having the supremacy. - : ;They generally had
things pretty much their own way, and distributed
' their fa ors among their par:titans accordi n gly.—
The -Whigs at length tied them, and the Loega, be
holdirgiwith horror and misgivings the new order
• of things which was destined to turn out many a
holder of fat office, many a pat-riot overflowing
with democratic patriotism, w ho se devotion to the
cause of the country was manifest in the tenacity
with which be clung to his place, were extremely
anxious. to devise ways and means to keep the
Whigs at bay ; and as the day -- drew near, when
the assembled Board of Aldermen." should have
their sifting at the City Hall, various dodgers were
proposed by the Locos to out-vote the Whigs,_in
• questions or decisions touching the distribution of
' places, and appointment of men to fill the various
stations of the new municipal government. •
1 ••' I have it l've got it!" exclaimed a rotund nod
jolly alderman of •a Democratic ward-- To-night
the Board meets—we stand abont eight and eight.
This afternoon, let two' of us invite two of the
Whigs: Alderman H— and Aides man J—, out
to dinner at Harlem; get-ll and J—as fight
as wax, and then we can slip off, take our convey
! ance, and borne in and vote the infernal Whigs just
where we want them !"
"Capital I prime! Ha, ha, ha!" says one.
" Firs.t. rate 1 Elegant ! Ha, ha, ha r shouts ano
ther.
" haw, haw, he, he, her roared all the
Locys.
" Well, gentlemen, let's throw in a V apiece to
defray expenses: we. you know of course, must
put the Whigs through, and ire must give them a
mime they won't forget soon. Champaign and
turtle, that's the ticket ; coach Tar four out and two
in. He r bal The Whigs shall see the elephant !"
Well, the purse was made up, the coach hired.
and the two victims, the poor Whippk, were c•trteal
out.under the pretence of a grand Alderrnanic feast
to Harlem. the scene of many a spree and jollifi
cation with the "City Fathers," and other bon vi
cious and gourmands of Gotham.
Dinner tit for an emporor being -dicmsed. sun
dry bottles of :"Sharn' were uncorked and their
effervescing ~tents decanted into the well-fed
.bodies of the four Aldermdn. Toasts and songs,
.wit and humor, filled up the time until the Dylan
emits began to think it was time that one of them
slipped , out, and took -the carriage back to the.city,
leaving, the other to fuddle the two Whigs, and de
tain them until the affairs at" the Tea Routn.":City
Hall, were settled to the entire satisfaction of'.the
Democrats.
Landlord." says one of the Democrats, whom
we cancan Brown, " Landlord, have you any con
ym:uice, horses, wazons, carriages or carts, by
which any of my friends could go back to town to
night if they wished r
-Oh yes:" says the landlord, "certainly; I can
- send - the - genlitnnerrin-ifliterwisitr- - - - -
* Very well, Sir; they may get very tight before
they desire to return.: They_ are men of families.
respectable citizens , and I do not wish them, under
any circumstances. to leave your house until morn
ing. Whatever the bill is, I will font, provided
you deny them any of your means to go in to
night. 'ton understand r
" Oh, yes sir ; if you request it as a matter of fa
wn. that I should keep your friends here, I will
-endeavor to do so; but h:idn't you better attend to
then' yourself r
" you see." says Brown. " I hare busines,
of importnneeto trarmart—rnuat be in town
evening Give the.party all they wi h; put that
in your fob—(Banding the host an X)—pot up
your bill in the morning, and 11l be out bright and
early to make all square. Do you hark i" Isays
Brown.
"Oh, yes sir: all right," re - pi - aided the 'melba-rt.
Brown gave his confederate the cue, stepped nut,
promising to "be in in a minute:" and then, get
ting into the carriage. he drove back to the 'city,
almost tickled to death at the idea of how iliwely
the Whigs would be •' dished" when
.they all.met
iat the City Hall. and came op minus two!
Snath,.lhown's Loco friend, did Ins best to keep
the thing iip„by calling-in the' New Jersey Omn
i der and liglitning.(vulgarly known as Champohne,)
and even walke . into the aforesaid t. and ,I. so
deeply himself. that a man. with half an eve might
see that Smith would be as blind as an owl in
' the course of the evenin4% if he stuck to it. ; But
Smith was determined to do the thile , up brown
. and thought no sacrifice too great or expetudMe to
preseriie the loaves and fishes of his party. 1 All
of a sudden. however, as ni;. , lit was drawint; on
apace. the Whigs began to smell a ,nice. The ab
sence of Brown, and the excessive politeness" and
liberality of Smith. in hurrying up the buttleil.set
tied it in the minds of the Whigs that some lung
was going on dangerous to the Whig muse, and
that they bad better look out—and so they dill
"..
ion!es." says, one - , of the Whigs, sotto rode, to
the..otber, "Brown has cleared : it is evident!' that
he. and Smith-calculate to corner us here, prevent
our absence in " the 'Fea Itootn " to-night, and
- thus
defeat our vote."

and notwithstanding the astonishment which will

there lives a widow dady. who, until recently. has
been one of his - most particular friends." This la
dy had met Tom somewhere, . and admiring his
principles. and approving his circumstances, had
come to the resolution of making him the husband
of her daughter, a very pretty and innocent girl of
about eighteen.
After making a resolution, Mrs. T. was not the
woman to hesitate in its execution_ She manceu-,.
vred to. have Win attend her d tughter at all the
balls and soirees of the season to which she hat/
access, and managed to take hint to the theatre in
her party- on several occasions; and at,chureli un
Sunday, our friend was to be ocenpying a
place in her pew as regularly rts one of the faini

tw , or three times daily, in'tine weather. 31.1.. s E.
was despatched to purchase some indispensable

Her plans worked admirably for aben three
months. Tom's attentions had been generally- re
marked, and the gossips of his acquaintance had
Jong settled it among tin-to-elvers that he was "in

was coUslanaly 011 the qui rive, for a propotal. This
was the posture of affairs when Tom Called one
morning about eleven. He was shown iu the par
lar. and soon joined by the young lady. After a
few moments of small talk, lie requested her to be,
so go "I as 'to send her mother to him, as he

tremb:mg of the hand visible. as Mrs.i. smoothed
her hair to obey the summons. "She had been

in her step as she entered the room and affection
ately greeted her future son-in-law.
We have intimated abo've that Tom is honest
and straig htforward ; and so, without the least cir
cumlocution or embarrassment, he at once approach
ed the delicate Matter. •
"As I intend," 'opened our friend, "leaving for
the Xorth the latter part of this week, T thought I
had better have a Word with you, - Mrs:-I, and come
to an understanding about matters."
"You are perfectly rght," •replied the lady, 'it
is always best- to settle such matters 'as soon - as
possible. But hive y ou spoken to my daughter r
