How sweet the rest that labor yields
The humble and the poor,
Where sits the patriarch of the fields,
Before his cottage door J
The lark is singing- in the sky,
The swallow on the eaves,
And love is beaming in each eye
I3eneath the summer leaves !
The air amid his fragrant bowers
Supplies unpurchased health,
And hearts are bounding 'mid the flowers,
More dear to him than wealth.
Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays
Around his humble cot,
And happy nights and cheerful days ....
Divide his lowly lot,
And when the village Sabbath bell
Rings out upon the "gale,
The father l ows his head to tell
The music of its tale
A fresher verdure seems to fill
The fair and dewy sod,
And every infant tongue is Mill
To hear the word of God.
0 happy hearts! to Ilith who stills
The ravens when they cry, ..
And makes the lily 'heath the hills,
So glorious to the eye
The trusting patriarch prays to bless
His 'abors with increase ;
Such "ways are ways of pleasantness,"
And all such "paths are peace!"
The fellow that wrote the following must have
been as mad as a March hare. Perhaps he has
seen honeyfugled by a dandy! Who knows I
ineffable Contempt.
Jive me a flowing demijohn of gall!
A pen of cane reed split with a broad axe,
sheet of paper broad as Congress Hall,
And vigorous nerves as tough as cobblers1 wax.
jet me b2 starved, and poor, and meanly clad.
Encircle me with duns to make me maid;
tCoddle liiy skullpit with the fumes of brandy.
Then let me write how much I hate a dandy.
Ye m'n ing, squinting, smoothed faced, nasty
With corsets laced as tight as fiddle strings.
Choked as a toad and subtle as a cat.
About the waist C sharp, and B flat.
Ye cunning superserviceable slaves,
Ye self complacent, brainless, heartless knaves;
Yo lizzard looking apes with cat fish gills,
Ye scoundrels, go pay your tailor's bills.

assemblage of beauty lhai
lan that which then en-
tranced the beholders. There wore dark bru
nettes from Baltimore; golden-haired Hobes
Irosn Charleston; stately beauties from Philadel
phia; gay belles from the more ostentatious
New York: and even the fair blonde daughters
of New England, with their blue eyes, their
clear complexions, their proud dignity of mien.
But among that brilliant array there was one
pre-eminently beautilul. Tall and shapely in
her fi'Mire. sh moved through the room with
the stately motion ol a swan, eliciting admira
tion from every beh.iMor. Her dross was sim
pV, yet co-stly :.nd beautiful. It was evident
th.it the severest taste presided over the. toilette
of tho fa.cina:ing Ellen Belvoir; for fascinating
every one felt her to be who had listened, though
but lor a moment, to her gay sallies, or her sub
dued sentiment. Iler every look, word, and
nvjtion, was grace itself. She possessed the
rare io;nbi nation of qualities which constitutes

iliis originated a trait of her character which is
shared by too many of her sex a scorn for all
who could not trace their lineage to an equally
noble origin with hcr's. Btit now, surrounded
by admirers; ""and excited by the gay scene
around, even Ellen Bclvoir had forgotten her
prejudices.
"Who is that elegant man?" said she to her
cousin, during1 an intermission betwixt the sets,
glancing toward a noble-looking oflicer in the
uniform of a captain of the army; ''he has been
in the room a full half hour, and yet he hasnot
asked to bo introduced to me. I declare," she
added gaily, "I am quile piqued at his indiffer
ence." "Ah! coz, you will make him repent of it yet,"
laughingly replied her cousin, "or I mistake
your sex. But see, he is coming this way. He
is an old messmaie of mine, and 1 will introduce
him ah! Capt. Sianley, glad to see you," and
advancing from Ellen's side, her cousin grasp
ed the hand of ihc approaching oflicer. The
salutation was warmly returned, and awhile the
two friends were engaged in talking of the
events that had transpired to each since they
met last. At length, Stanley's eyes happened
to fall on the spiritual face of Miss Belvoir, and
from their look of admiration, her cousin knew
at once that an introduction would be consider
ed a favor. He accordingly presented the
young officer to Ellen, and after a few remarks,
sauntered across the room, leaving his cousin
and Stanley together.
What is so favorable to love as a gay ball
room? and what ball-room is so dangerous as
that of West Point? Boih Ellen and Stanley
were soon lost to every thing except each other.i
They danced together, and promenaded in com
pany, until they became the objects of whisp
ered though general remark. Before the fes
tivities of the evening had terminated, it was
universally gossipped about that the beautiful
Miss Belvoir, and tho hitherto heart-free Cap
tain Stanley, had fallen mutually in love. Some
aflected to sneer at it; some wondered how it
did happen; but all agreed that the two were
thelinest couplo in the room, and were admira
bly fitted for each other.
The gossip of a ball-room was for once, right.
Ellen Belvoir had passed three winters since
her coming out, without meeting with any qne
to subdue her virgin heart; but from the first mo
ment she saw Stanley, she felt a strange interest
in him. His gallant bearing, his polished man
ners, his fine conversational powers, and above
all a certain frankness of deportment toward
her so different from the sickening flattery dai
ly poured into her ears, appealed at once to her
fancy, and so subdued her judgment. She felt
that Stanley was one ib whom she could look
up, and she knew that only such a character
could possess her love. His eloquent tones vi
brated in her ears long after they had parted
fur the uiyht. aiid even in her dreams she saw
c
his manly form" bending admirably over her.
Stanley had been equally chaimed with his
partner. Years had elapsed since he had been
appointed to one of the stations ort the far west;
and during that period he had been completely
excluded from refined female society. He oc
cupied the time in picturing to himself the beau
ideal of a being such as he could choose for a
wife. On his return to the east he had met
many lovely beings, Whose attractions his
friends thought him incapable of resisting; but
nearly a year had passed even less susceptible
than on his return, He sought in vain to real
ize his romantic dreams, and finding it impossi
ble, was content to enjoy the reputation of a
confirmed bachelor. Now, however, he thought
j he had met the dimity winch he had o long
1 adored in secret; for, in Ellen Beltoir, he l.tn-
. , , i - i i . u. i..,..
ed he saw every trait which he sought to have J
pieieiy in love ixor was nue n ..a,.,w,c-u
of the voung officer, whose callant bearing at
traded every eye, and whose services in the
field had already won, for him an enviable name.
When, therefore, Stanley proposed for her hand,
Ellen accepted it, for she was an orphan and
an heiress, and already in possession of her
property. It was arranged that the wedding
should take place the ensuing winter.
The lovers at length parted but only for two
short months, preparatory to iheir future mar
riage. Business called the lieutenant to Wash
ington, while the affianced brido, accompanied
by" her cousin, returned to Boston, by tin; way
of Albanv.
It was at the close of a hot, sultry day, that
the carriage in which they travelled drew up
at a neat public house in one of those quiet vil
lages which are scattered through Massachu
setts. They had journeyed the whole day
through the mountains, and the sight of tho
white inn, with its green Venetian shutters, and
its pretty garden in the rear, all betokening the
tidiness of the owner, was peculiarly refresh
ing to the travellers. Tho pleasant looking
widow lady who met them at the door, increas
ed their delight with the place.
"A sweet village you have here," said tho
"entleman alighting, as lie followed tho landla
dy to a small but exquisitely neat parlor.
juw.mjuuitji iaiwMJ-i
"Yes, sir, although it is small," answered
tho landlady; "it is rarely that we havo many
strangers visiting hero, and so the place is
much as it was in the days of our fathers."
There was something in the low, sweet mod
ulated tone of the speaker, which made the in
terrogator start. Surely that voice belonged to
no common innkeeper's widow. There was
that finish in the tones which is the surest evi
dence of a refined mind. His cousin seemed
lo notice this also, for when the landlady had
retired, she said
"Our hostess is certainly above the common
order one would almost think sho had been
born a lady, and transformed by some malignant
genius into a common innkeeper's widow."
"She is obviously a woman of education
perhaps some one whom distress has driven to
this business for a livelihood. She has not al
ways kept an inn, be assured, coz."
"Still, nothing ought to have induced her to
stoop to so degrading an occupation," said his
fair cousin, her prejudice at once taking alarm;
"there are ways enough in which an impover
ished lady can obtain a livelihood, without re
sorting to the trade of an innkeeper. Pshaw!
coz, you are wrong, after all the fact of her
adopting this business, is a sufficient proof that
she is no lady," and sho gave somewhat of a
haughty toss of iter head, as she spoke.
When, after an hour's rest, they met at a
supper, they were ushered into a neat room, a
doot from which opened into an apartment be
yond, apparently a bed room. This door was
a jar, disclosing a portrait hanging on an oppo
site wall. The light in this inner apartment
was somewhat dim, but Ellen could distinguish
that the picture represented a young man in
uniform, and a second glance assured her that
the portrait was that oflier affianced lover. The
landlady noticed her emotion with some sur
mise, and as she sat down to do the honors of
the table, looked to Ellen for an explanation.
Miss Belvoir, fearing that her agitation had
been noticed, said
"Prar, if not too inquisitive, may I ask whose
portrait I see within there? It bears a striking
resemblance to one I have well known "
"It is tho portrait of my son," quietly answer
ed the landlady, but a proud smile lit up her
face, as if she was concious of the worth of him
of whom she spoke.
"And his name?' breathlessly asUed Ellen!
"Edward Stanley," was the response; "he
has been on the frontier for years, and but late
ly returned. His first visit," continued the fond
mother, with pride, "was paid to me, and on his
departure he sent that portrait."
"Do you know where he is now?" asked El
len, concealing, by a violent effort, the interest
she felt in the reply.
"At Washington, I believe he wrote to Hie
about a fortnight since from West Point, stating
that lie should Have lo visit Washington soon
on business. Is your tea, Miss, agreeable?"
she continued, suddenly recollecting that, in lier
fondness for her child, she had forgotten the
duties of her station.
Shall we picturo tlie struggle that took place
in the mind of Ellen that night after she had re
tired? Her cousin, little thinking of the effect
it was to produce, had bantered her on her love
for the landlady's son. and had thus aroused
prejudices which only her affection had hither
to kept down. What? should she, the proud,
the gifted, the high born, wed tho son of a vil
lage landlady? Long she lay and thought of it,
and every moment her pride grew stronger al
though her love had struggled for the mastery,
her pride of birth came off victor. Perhaps she
had never loved with that single hcartedness
which is a true woman's jewel but so it was
she rose: the ensuing morning, determined to
break off the match with her lover. She re
solved, however, not to apprise fiim of her de
termination until she had reached Boston.
During the rest of her journey, Ellen assum
ed a gaiety of tone liitlc in keeping with her
real feelings. She made no confident of her
cousin, for it was part of her self-willed and
imniirious nature :o rely wholly on herself.
But when they reached Boston he accompanied
ur to her residence, and on taking
to
avc.
said
laughingly, in reply to a retort of her's:
'Adieu, my sweet coz, and remember, when
you are married, to the buy old inn, in , as
a sort of remembrance of old times."
Tim shock struck homo. Ellen had renew
al the strti!!le in her breast betwixt love and
pride, and the former had almost come off con
queror, uIumi th-i unlucky retort of hor cousin
aroused nil her haughtinosi. She had many
good feelings, but she had lived so long in the
world, that she had become a believer in the
t null nf its maxims. What would her youn
fr..,wU K!iv. sho thounht. if sho married the
I n ml bilk-' son? She went into tho house, and
.... iU r nf' i1w iiimntMit wrote a dismissal to
Ull IWV OJu w ..w ...
her lover.
And how did he receive it? More in sorrow
tl:..i ;.i imlimiaiion. He sat down and wrotoa
reply, in which he coldly notified the receipt of
her letter. No unworthy regret did He ureaine
iflftmiemnt did he make to change her deter-
mintiou. His lovo hithcrio had blinded him
to ibis trait of Ellen's character, bui now it ap
pcared in all its. glaring deformity before him,
and he renounced her, certainly not without
pain, but without regret.
And years passed, and he saw and wooed
another and a fairer bride. But Ellen never
married. She repented too soon of her con
duct. Perhaps others avoided her on account
of her heartlessness towards Stanley, but from
the hour of their separation she faded away, as
if some secret sorrow was at her heart. She
lived to become what she most dreaded an
Old Maid.
ESfau!lers, &c, denied, tiic IBenefsl
o tlie Bankrupt Law.
We noticed a few days since, a decision in
a Federal Court, in Missouri, shutting out de
faulters and all persons who owed in a fiducia
ry relation, from the benefit of the Bankrupt
Law.
Judnes Daniel and Mason, of Va., have just
made a similar decision in the U. S. Court for
ihc 5th Circuit held in Richmond. 1 he Com
piler says: The decision was upon questions
adjourned from the Norfolk District Court, as
follows:
1st. Can the Court decree the petitioner :
Bankrupt under the Act, &c, when in his pc
tition and schedule, he does not include all his
creditors and tho debts due them?
- 2d. Can tho petitioner be so declared a
Bankrunt whilst he owes a debt as administra
tors of a decedent's estate, which is unpaid, al
though he mav owe other debts not of a fiduci
ry character?
The Jtidsrcs. after stating their arguments,
and referring to the parts of tho law bearing
noon the interrogatories, decided:
1st. That the statue designs a full disclosure
of creditors and property, to be ratcably cits
tributed amongst them a suppression then as
to the one or the other, is not only a violation
of the latter, but a fraud upon the main purposes
of the law.
2nd. That a petitioner cannot bo decreed a
! Bankrupt while he owes a debt as Executor or
Administrator, wnusi ne is a uuiauuci aa a juu
lic officer, or as a Guardian or Trustee, or whilst

Dr. llcller,.member of the Royal Academy
of Medicine Paris, lately communicated to his
society, that in Grcece'it is a practice to ob
serve the tongues of those persons who have
bt-en biltcn by dogs, because at the end of eight
or nine days there appears on each side of the
tongue, and near the upper part, pustules called
lyases by the Greeks. These pustules contain
the whole rnbid matter, and immediately they
arc cut out and ihc wound cauterised, which

At a late Agricultural meeting in Augusta,
Maine, Dr. Bates stated that the Quakers in
Fairfield were in tlie habit of buying the bes-;
description of coarse salt, and cleaning it, - an-1
having it ground, and this salt they used in th-
manufacture of butler. The consequence' was,
the butter made by the Quakers of Fairfield,
had a better reputation and bore a higher pric
ihan the butter made in other-ltowns. He held
them upas worthy of imitation. He stated that
the loss of the butter manufactured in that State
was greater in amount every year, than the sum
raised for the State tax moro than two hun
dred thousand dollars. He believed that, if this
fact Was generally understood, if the pcopln
