Night is the time to rest; How sweet, when labors close, To gather round an aching breast The curtain of repose; Stretch out the tired limbs, and lay the head Upon our own delightful bed ! Night is the time for dreams; The gay romance of life, .. ; . When truth that is and truth that seems Blend in fantastic strife; Ah! visions less beguiling far Than waking dreams by daylight are! Night is the time to toil; To plough the classic field, Intent to find the buried spoil Its wealthy furrows yield; Till all is ours that sages taught, That poets sung, or heroes wrought. Night is the time to weep ; To wet with unseen tears Those graves of memory, where sleep The joys of other years, Hopes that were angels in their birth, But perish young, like things on earth! Night is the time to watch; On ocean's dark expanse, To hail the Pleiades, or catch . The full moon's earliest glance That brings unto the home sick mind . All we have loved and left behind. . Night is the time for care; Brooding on hours misspent, To see the spectre of despair Cbme to our lonely tent! - , j , Like Brutus, midst his slumb'ring host, Startled by Caesar's stalwart ghost. Night is the time to muse; Then from the eye the soul Takes flight, and with expanding, views Beyond the starry pole, Descries athwart the abyss of night The dawn of uncreated light. Night is the time to pray; Our Saviour oft withdrew, To desert mountains far away, So will his followers do; Steal from the throng to haunts untrod, And hold communion there with God-f' t Night is the time for death; When all around is peace, Calmly to yield the weary breath, From sin and suffering cease; Think of heaven's bliss, and give the sign To parting friends such death be mine!

And I exhort all well-meaning but deluded persons, who may have joined these Lodges, immediately to abandon them, and to have no thing more to do with their secret meetings or unlawful oaths, as they would avoid serious j consequences to themselves.

By the Piesident' : Daniel Webster, Secretary of State. Slioe Pegs. A paper recently established at Meredith, N. IT., called the Belknap County Gazette, de scribes a manufactory of shoe pegs in that place, as follows: We found it in full operation, and were grat ified to see its wonderful simplicity, and aston ishing rapid;') with which wood is convened in to vrirs. The loss of birch wood, from six to twelve or fifteen inches in d Timet cr, are taken into the mill and cut off by a circular saw, fori the length of the peg for which they are intend-' ed. The blocks then go through a planing pro-1 cess by which they are made perfectly smooth! they are then crensed or marked off' for the! size of the peg to correspond with its length ihe blocks then go through the splitting opera- tion by which they are convened into pegs of any desirable size the pegs then undergo tho drying process, in summer by sun, in winier or j wet weather by the use of a furnace they arc then put into a revolving cylender, where theyj are turned over and over for the purpose of, polishing, and finally come out into a box lncc a miller's meal trough, from which they are packed into sacks containing from half a bushel to iwo or three bushels each, and being marked and numbered, are ready for market. These pegs are a source of revenue to our communi ty, drawing a profit from our forests, of which we had no conception until we witnessed the operation. It is not uncommon to see Messer's big teams loaded with pegs from the Meredith Bridge manufactory. The price of these pegs vary according to their size and quality, aver aging, perhaps, a little more than two dollars to the bushel. Solder for Sheet Iron. Sheet iron may be soldered by filings of soft cast-iron applied with borax (deprived of its waters of crystali zation) and sal ammoniac. Tubes of sheet iron have been constructed at Birmingham lately by a process of this kind, which, according to Messrs. Perkins and Gill, is to ho practised in the following manner: The borax is to be dded in a crucible, not till it fuses, but till it forms a white crust; then powdered and mixed with the iron filings; the joint is to be made bright, and moistened with a solution of.sal am moniac; then the mixture is to be made into a thick paste with water, and placed along the inside of the joint, and the whole limited over a clear fire till the cast-iron fuses. 7 eci. Rep. 1822. " " From the Berks & Schuylkill Journal Extra. The following paper has been put into our hands for publication. The signers are men of the highest respectability were all former supporters of D. R. Porter, and most of them Van Buren men, at the last election. Their views are worthy the attentive consideration of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. ADDRESS To tUo essaoeralic .Party oi Peansyl- The undersigned members of the democratic" party, and recently supporters of D. R. Porter, find themselves L-ompelled by a sense of duly to act unpleasant to their own feelings and per haps surprising to their late political associates. For many years past wo have acted cordially with the democratic party of this Stale sup porting its nominees and (aboring to promote its principles. To those principles we are as much attached as ever, but convinced as we are, that the man forced upon the party as its candidate for Governor, is neither a democrat in feeling nor conduct, we have determined to publish to the world our reasons why we can no longer give our support to David R. Porter. To the various acts of his administration we have given a careful attention, with every disposition to support them, so far as we could do so consist ently with honest principle and our duty to the slate and the democratic party. But when a man elected by the party, turns traitor to its principles, we consider it better that he should at once be thrown off than that by -supporting him, the parly might be suspected of approving of his measures or conniving at his direliction from duty. Whatever may be the views of some others, we would rather suffer an election to go by default, and see a man of the opposite party, but of unimpeachable character and hon esty elected rather would we see this happen than give the sanction of our approval to such a man, as we regret to say D. R. Porter has proved himself to be or help to sustain the cor rupt faction he has gathered around him. We now submit to our democratic fellow cit izens and a candid public the reasons for which we can no longer support David R. Porter. Because, He was elected by the democrat ic party in 183S, against Gov. Ritner, exclusive ly upon the ground of opposing the Bank of the United States, and to restrict the Bunking system and compel them to pay specie for their notes whereas, he was scarcely in office be fore he took a loan from the Bank of the United States and thereby, instead of opposing the Bank humbled the stale of Pennsvlvania to be come her debtor. Because, He has interfered with the action of the Legislature furslailing them, when they were passing an act compelling the Banks to pay specie for their notes by, sending a special Message to the Senate in favor of a suspension and thereby preventing the passage of the act; aif3 Because it has been recently discovered that the brother of the Governof? J. M. Porter, about that time visited Philadelphia and spent an evening with Thomas Dunlap, the President of the U. S. Bank returning to Harrishurg with a Director of the U. S. Uanlc, in whose hands were placed at that time and afterwards S99;200,00 those facts giving grounds.for sus picions and charges which there is too much reason to believe are true and which charges have never been properly met or contradicted. Because, His leading measures are Federal and have been approved by the federal party. Because, He has no independence of char acter, as is shown by his conduct, whenever an act was passed which might affect his re-election. He has refused to approve or disapprove the act relative to granting tavern licenses, for fear of incurring the displeasure of the Tem perance friends by signing the act, and that of the friends of tavern keepers by vetoing it. Because, His nomination was not the result of the choice of tho democratic party of Penn sylvania, but waS forced upon the party by the tactics of the Cameron and Wharton faction and his office holders and therefore is not binding upon the democracy of Pennsylvania. Because, He consults his own interest be fore that of the State, by recom uending appro priations to certain improvements, which will enrich him, his relation? and favorites at the expense of the State. Because, It is generally believed and upon good grounds, that he ii a private contractor in tho great excavation which his brother has un dertaken and receiving G2 1-2 cents more per yard than offered by others. Because, We consider him in every respect, unfit lo rule this great Commonwealth. Because, He is in faVo'r at high taxes, such taxes as we cannot endure taxes which all our earnings will be insufficient to pay and which in the end, will swallow up all our prosperity. Because, He is not the friend of ihe fanner, mechanic and laboring class of people, but more of that class which ride in chariots, and wear silk stockings. , Because, He has made his appointments throughout the state conferring them general ly on his relations and our opponents, and now makes, appointments which,, arc obnoxious to .thuvpariy. . . - , - Because, TTc has expended ten millions of dollars without having affected any thing to the benefit of the state, but gave nearly every dol lar into the hands of his Political Robbers. Because, Wo consider the ONE TERM PRINCIPLE the most salutary means to keep together the Democratic party and givo strength to all our undertakings Because, He has borrowed 400,000 dollars from the U. S. Bank, four days before she sus pended specie payment, (with the full knowl edge that she would suspend,) by this act of outrage on the Democratic party, he has identi fied himself completely as the friend of the U. S. Bank. Because, Wo have been fighting against the U. S. Bank for ten years with all our might, and were victorious, with the great Jackson at our head; but in spite of our exertion D. R. Porter has deserted us by going soul and body for the monster. Because, Ho signed an act of Incorporation for a Rail Road, going through the district of Kensington, in the county of Philadelphia, to a foreign company, thereby destroying an im mense property and streets in said district with out any compensation to the property holders against the expressed will of upwards of 2,000 inhabitants, which we consider unjust and with out being called for, to the great injury of the j inhabitants and a measure which no democrat can approve of. Because, When a bill was passed by the Legislature of this Commonwealth at theirjlate Session, providing for the institution of a suit at Law, against the late State Treasurer foqthe purpose of determining ihe legality or the pay ment of large fees to the Governor's brother and the Attorney General; Governor Porter re tained the bill and prevented its enactment into George Stine a law: thus manifesting a desire to evade the ! John Berger investigation provided for by the bill and afford ing just grounds for suspecting that tho pay ment in question was made under authority il legally and unwarrantably assumed by the Ex- Because, After formal and solemn promises John Remel, jr. to approve of a Bill for rendering the Canal ' Jacob Moll Commissioners elective by the people, he has, Jonas Behm retained tli hill nassed for that nurnose bv the ' Jacob K. Shenk Senate and House of Representatives, which is in effect a veto, thus evincing his. contempt of the Democratic principles which, refers the selection of the officers of Government to the will and the votes of the Governed. Because, The State Debt under the admin istration of the present Governor has been in creased by the addition of nearly ten millions John Veist, jr. of dollars, and a crisis has been reached in the j Peter S. Foust fiscal Department of the Government, in which ! John Heibman, j nothing but an immediate and radical change 1 John Light both of men and measures can save the people j John Foust .

Madison Porter and the President of the'U. S. Bank the large loans to said Porter and Attor ney General Johnson, from the bank, and the appointment, of the Governor's nephew to an office in the Bank, at a salary of $2,000, there is every reason to believe that the Governor Jno.M.Eilhecberger.TJohif S.:Quinter Jacob Xander P.

The foregoing reasons we deem sufficient to justify our act, and to take away every suspi cion of having treated D. R. Porter with injus tice.

Two of the lads laid their hands on the bucket; the third one refused, fearing that the rooster would actually betray his guilt. The onewas then charged with the theft; he confessed it, and pointed to the place where box of jewelry was concealed. We find the following account in alatcTBng lish paper, and we regret to state il is by no means a rare occurrence in that country: Selling a Wife. A disgraceful scene was exhibited in Stafford market on Saturday. A laboring man o; idlo and dissolute habits, called Hall, residing at Dunstono Heath, noar Penk ridge, led his wife into the town with a halter round her body, for the purpose of disposing of her in tho public market to the best bidder. Having taken her into the market place, and paid toll, he led her twice round the market, when he was met by a man named Barlow, of the same class of life, who purchased her for eighteen-penco and a quart of ale, and she was formally delivered over to the purchaser. Tho parties then went over to the Blue Posts to rat ify the transfer, followed by a considerable number of persons, who had been attracted by the proceeding.---iSit7jL)rti5irfi (Eng.) Adv. .
