POETRY.
From the Portland Tribune.
GO TO THY P3LAT.
Go to thy play, my little boy.
With bounding heart, while life is young;
1 would not mar thy sunny joy,
Or hush the prattling of thy tongue.
To play, my child, before the day -Of
evil thoughts and cares shall come :
1 love to see thoe always gay..
It adds a lustre to thy home.
Play on, while yet thy path is bright,
And thy heart loves the birds and flowers;
Long may- such innocent deliglit
Remind me of youth's happy hours.
.And may that Gcd who reigns above, , .
And watches around thy bed by night,
Protect thee daily by his love.
And make thee precious in his sight.

Correspondence of the Democratic Journal.
Saugerties. March 29, 1842.
Mr. Editor : As the force of example is
great, 1 wish to make as public as possible the.
great reform this place has undergone in lhe
last few months. The temperance society
meetings arc" held twice a monih aud are fully
attended. The dram shops have little custom,
many have already given up the traffic, aud
most of those who have not, soon will. The
Irish set a bright example lo all others. Our
last meeting was opened with one, and closed
with ihe other, of the following odes. 1 hope
vou will find a place for them and these re
marks in one of your columns, to promote the
cause of Tee-totalism.
'TEaaPEEANCE OIE.
The drink that's in the drunkard's bowl
Is not the drink for ue,
It kills the body and his soul
How sad a sight is he ;
But there's a drink which God has given,
Distilling in the showers of Heaven,
In measures large and free :
Oh, that's the drink for me !
The stream that many prize so high
Is not the stream for me,
For he who drinks it still is dry,
Forever dry he'll be ;
But there's a stream so cool and clear,
The thirsty traveller lingers near
Refresh d and glad is he :
Oh, that's the drink for me ! "
The wine cup that so many prize
Is not the cup for me,
The aching head, the bloated face,
In its sad train I see ;
But there's a cup of water pure,
And he who drinks it may be sure
Of health and length of days;
Oh", that's the drink for me!
Friends of freedom svell the song,
Young and old the strain prolong,
Make the Temperance army strong,
And on to victory !
Lift your banners, let them wave!
Onward march a world to save !
Who would fill a drunkard's grave, ,'
And bear his infamy7
Shrink not when the foe appears,
Spurn the coward's guilty fears, ,
Hear the shrieks, behold the tears
Of ruined families.
Give the aching bosom rest,
Carry joy to every breast, ' rt
Make the wretched drunkard blest
By living soberly.
Raise the glorious watchword high,.
Touch not, taste not, till you die!
Let the echo reach the sky,
And earth keep jubilee:
God of nv5rcy! hear us plead,
For thy help we intercede,
See. how many bosoms blend,
And heal them speedily.
Hasten, Lord, the happy day,
When beneath .the gentle ray, -;
Temperance all the world shall' sway,
And reign triumphantly.
An editor Btnjfped his press lo -write., powry,
when alter a lew day a labour he brought forth
the following: , . .
"I love to see the waring grass, ;
Just before the mower mows it;
1 love io see an old dray horsp,
For when he goes he goes it."
Effects of "Schnapps." Deacon Pequirk,
a staunch temperance man, having accidentally
swallowed a rousing tumbler of gin lhe other
day, was asked how he felt after it. "How did
I feel?" said he. "Why, I felt as if I were sit
ting on the roof of our meeiiiig house, and ev
ery shingle was a jevvsharp."

iU- "IraiiationU ihe-sjficereil fltfttery'.y V
The following rpiizzical story was told at a
temperance meeting in Hartford last week, by
a reformed toper. It opens rich and as the
man has be,come sober, one may now laugh over
his absurdities with double relish. He said:
"i used lo drink, and my wife use lo jaw-mo
about it. What do you get drunk for? said she;
what do you jaw me for? said I. So we agreed,
ajid made a firm bargain that I would not drink
and she would not scold. For three long days
we held on firm no drinking nor scolding; but
on the third evening, being in company with
some good fellows, 1 took a horn, and when
that was down, 1 right off wauled another, and
in a very short time I found myself about "how
fare you;" with twenty horns safe and snugly
in my bread basket (iremendous laughter.)
By andoby it got to be time to go home; but, as
you may all suppose, I dreaded lo meet my wife
like the looth ache (laughter.) However go
1 must; and so, I staggered along, hoping to find
my wife abed (laughter.) When I reached
the house, 1 found it still lighted, and through
the window I saw my wife up arid waiting for
me (laughter.) Thinks 1, 1 can't go in yet,
but 1 must wail till she goes to bed; so there 1
stood freezing in the cold rain two hours (tre
mendous laughter.) At last she went to bed,
and I crept, m at the back door, stumbling oyer
pails and chairs, but finally succeeded in get
ting to bed without disturbing her, (laughter);
but after dozing a while, I awoke and found my
self as dry as-a fish--(laughter.) You know, i
brethren, how drv we all used to be in the
night, after we'd had a spree (tremendous
laughter.) My wife always knew what was
the mailer with me, when 1 got up in the night
to drink cold water (laughter.) I hardly dared
io gel up for fear of my wife; but my thirst was
greater than I could bear, (laughter), so out I
crawled, and groped very softly after the wa
ter, (laughter); but no water was there (laugh-
ter.) 1 then felt round in tne uariv, on me ia-
bles aud shelves, for something to cool my
burning thirst, (tremendous laughter); soon I
found a tin pan lull of liquid something; I seized
and put it to my mouth, and look a long and
hearty draught the liquor at the same time
running at each side of my mouih, 'down my
cheeks, (iremendous laughter);and so I thought
the liquor tasted rather odd, and at that instant
it flashed on my recollection that I had fixed
some poison a few days before to kill rats with,
(iremendous laughter for five minutes.) Hor
ror struck, I stood my hair sianding on end
it was death to scream out, for my wife would
jaw me if she waked (laughter and stamping);
and surely it would be death to hold still; but
scream I must, and scream 1 did, (riotous laugh
ter. "What was in that pan?" "You are dry
are you?" said she. "What was in this pan?"
shouted I still louder.
What makes you dry?"
screamed she. "What was in this'pan?" yelled
I, in perfect agony of fear. "What pan'"
"Why, the pan on ihe shell." "Uh, you brute,
you have drank all my starch." (Tremendous-
laughter for five minutes, and cries ol order
from the chairman.) The next morning my
shirt collar was pasted fast to my neck and
cheeks, and it took half an hour to clear it ofl."
Here Mr. Brown sat down, amid lhe cheers of
the whole Society.
Singular Circaimsiaiice.
The Selma (Ala,) Free Press relates the
following. Ten or twelve years ago the wife
of a Methodist minister, named Isaac Taylor;
was missing. The circumstances were as fol
lows: She laid down as usual with her hus
band. Some lime after she arose and went
out, and came back two or three times. At
last she took up the youngest child, an&kiss
ing it, laid it in Mr. Taylor's bosom, telling
him to keep it till she relumed. She then left
the house and returned no more. Diligent
search was made after her, but without success;
Suspicion rested strongly on the husband, and
bones having been found in a hollow stump
near his house some years after, Jie was arrest
ed, brought to trial, and acquitted for want of
evidence. He -was., however, generally be
lieve to be the murderer. He was prohibited
preaching and much persecuted.
A short lime back a letter was received by
ihe Postmaster at Blountsville, near where lhe
occurence happened, from a man in- Texas,
who, it appears, had been attached to Mrs. Tay
lor before her marriage, and meeting her some
lime afterwards, persuaded her to fly with him
lo Texas. They .accordingly secrelly equip
ped themselves, and started, she travelling in
men's clothes, and. arrived ihere, where they
lived together as man and wife. Sho died in
that country, but exacted on hor death-bed a
promise from her paramour that he would write
back, and disclose the causo of her sudden dis
appearance. A new sect id about to bo found in New
York, the ground work of whose tenets is,,lhai
the eyes were made to wear spectacles, the
nose to lake snuff,, the mouih,to kiss the girls,
and the chin to rest on the top of a cane.

"We have tried a variety of kinds of manure
for a garden, and these kinds in a variety of
forms, and as far as our experience warrants an'
assertion in favor of any particular kind, we
must give a decided preference lo Sioamp mud,
or muck. One" argument in its favor is thai it
seldom produces weeds. Another, that' it con-,
tains so much vegeiable matter in a decompo
sable stale that ii is easily brought to ooerate
as lhe food of plants. It also,' from: the slow
ness of iis decay, continues ils .effect longer,
than most other manures; Its cheapness also
commends it, for all it costs is the mere geitirig.

.1 positively never knew a man in the cotin
lry who was loo poor. tot take a' newspaper.
Yet two out of three even respectable people
read no papers but what they borrow -As I
speak generally", 1 hope I offend none. Every
I man can conveniently fate a weekly newspa
per. The cost is three pence per week. How.
many who think themselves too poor to take a,
paper, pay as much daily for drink2 - -MiseVablo
man, thou art poor indeed! Doctor Frandin.
Beware of borrowing trouble; irtwill - come
soon enough, without your taking; the -trouble o
anticipate. Things are never so bad but they
might he worse, aud when thev arrive at thatj
pleasant point of misery, they must take a turn
ior lhe better, at least so we heard our grand
mother say. Above all things keep out ofdebt;
it makes you a liar and. a knave. And the se-
cret of keeping 'out lbf "debt is to. live within,

clean cotton gown to a flashy satin or silk one.
Cure for Cancer.
Mr. Thomas Tyrrel, of Missouri, advertises,
that a cancer upon his nose, which had been
treated without success by Dr. Smith, of New
Haven, and the ablest surgeon in the- Western
country had been cured in ihe following man
ner. He was recommended to use strong pot
ash, made of the ashes of red oak bark, boiled,
down to the consistency of molasses, to co.ver
the cancer with it, and in about an hour .after
wards to cover it wtlh a plaster of tar, which he
removed afier a few days, and if protuberances
; remain in the wound, apply more-potash to
i them, and then plaster again, until they shall.
disappear, after which heal the -wounds with
common salves '-Cautery and the knife had
previously been used in rain. This treatment
effected a perfect and sperdy cure.
Evil Effects of Tight lacing.
A late Liverpool paper-states lhat a coroner's
inquest was held at Chard, upon the body of a',
young lady fifteen years old, who dropped -dead,
in the street from the bursting of a blood vessel
of the lungs, caused by tight lacing of her stays.
Mr. Spicer, the surgeon who opened the body,
stated that the deceased had died from lhe ef
fects of tight lacing, and -the pressure of the
bone of the stays upon hur chest. He alsOigave,
it as his opinion that many of the sudden deaths
of our young females were caused by the over
lacing of their slays, than which there', could
not be a more pernicious custom- . The jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the sur
geon's evidence.
"Warts. The bark of a willow tree burnt to
ashes., and mixed with strong vinegar,. and ap
plied to the parts, will remove all warts, corns
or excrescences on any part of the body.
A humane and considerate editor living out
somewhere near sundow.n, says he is willing
and anxious to insert tho deaths of delinquent
subscribers gratis.

A poor fellow who had spent Jhuhdredt of
dollars at lhe bar of a certain. groggr ry, being
one day faint and feeble and out of change,
asked the landlord tojfust him with a glares ol
liquor. "I ne ver .make a practice of doing such
things." The. poor fellow turned io a gentle
man who was sitting by, and whom he had
known in better days, saying "Sir, will you lend
mo a sixpence?" "Certainly," was the reply.
The landlord wilh alacrity placed the decanter
and glass before him. He took a preiiy good
horn, and haying swallowed it and replaced tho
glass with evident satisfaction, he turned to the
man who had lent him tho sixpence and said
"Hero, sir, is lhe sixpence 1 owe you; I mak
