The following is one of the best Temperance
sketches in verse that we hnve met with for
some time :
He islet the wreck of his former self, '
And a shocking wreck is he ;
With his tattered clothes and battered nose,.
And a gait like a ship at sea. . •
Ones he was neat and trim)i drest;
The pride of his father; hall ;
And prouct was the heart of his dearyoung wife,
Who loved him better than all.
Better than all the world beside,
But now her heart, is cold ;
Oh! could sho see this worthless dross,
That once was clearer than gold I
And-whence, - yen ask, did thin fatal change',
•This sin'and misery come ?'
It came, alas! from a single cause, .
And that single cause was—ltum!• ,
For this ho gave tip all he had and was,
And all that ho laved the , best;
lip exchanged them all-for this shaft of death,
That he prekses.still to his breast.
And was it, think you, a wise exchange
That this wretched being made?
If you do, just begin to tipple and drink,
And you'll soon make the very same trade
A TIMELY ARRIVAL.
On my return from the upper Miss., Ifound
myself obliged to cross one of the large•prai
ries, ...which in that portion of the United
States; vary-the appearance' of the•country.—
The weather was fine; all around me was as
fresh and blooming. as if it had just issued
from the bosom - of nature.' My knapsack, my
gu%, and my dog were all I had for ba.gg,lge
and for company. But, ftlthough well niocas
shied, I moved slowly along, attracted\ by the
brilliancy of the flowers and the gambols of
the fawns aronnd'their dams, to all appear
ance as thoughtless of danger as myself.
My march was of long duration. I saw the
sun sinkingbentath tho borrizon, long before .
I could perceive the appearance of woodland,-
and nothing in'the shape_of man_had_l Met
with that day. •The track that I followed was
'nothing but an old Indian trace, and, as dark=
nose overshadowed the prairie, I felt some de
sire at least to reach a copse, in which I might:
lie'down to rest. The nighthawks were skim
ming over and around me attracted by the buz
zing wings of the beetles which
_Term their
'food, end the distant bowling of wolves gave
me some hope that I should soon arrive at the
skirt of some woodland.
I did so, and almost at the -same instant a
fire-light attracted my eye; I moved towards
it full of confidence that it proceeded from the
tent orsOnie wandering Indians. I was mis
taken; I discovered by its glare that it was
from the hearth of a log cabin, and that a'tall
figure passed and re-passed between it and me,
as if busily engaged iu household arrange
ments. •
I reached the spot, and presented myself at
thoslour,.asked.tha-tall-tigure,—whiely-prored
to be a woman, if I might dike shelter under
her roof for th s a night. Her voice was gruff
and her attire was negligently thrown about
her." qlie answered in the affirmative. I walk
ed in, took a wooden stool, and quietly seated
myself by the fire. The next object that at
tracted my attention was a finely formed young
Indian resting his head between his hands
with his elbows on his knees. Along bow test
ed aghiust the wall near him, a quantity of ar
rows, and two or three skins lay at his feet.—
lie moved not, he apparently breathed not.
Accustomed to, the habits of the Indians, and
knowing that they pay little attention to civil
ized' strangers ; (a'circumstancelthich in some
countries, is considered as evincing the apathy
of their eharaMer,), I addressed him in the
French language . , not unfreqlntly known to
the inhabitants of that neighborhood. Ile rais
ed his head, pointed to one of his eyes with
his finger, and gave' -me a significant glance
With the other. His face was covered with
blood. The faetwas.that an hour befoiv this,
as he was itrthe act of disaharging an arrow
at a raccoon in the top - of n o r:llre°, the arrow
split upon' the cord Ind sprang back with such
violence into his right eye, as to destroy it
forever.
Feeling hungry, I enquired what kind of fare
I might expect. Such a thing as a bed was
not to bo seen, but many large untanned buffa
lo skins lay piled in amorner. I drew a tine
time piece from my breast, and told the woman
that it was late and that I moo fit ti is
had espied Illy NVltell. .

my dog to a good suppor of VCIm si 00, and was
not long in satisfying tho demand of my own
appetite. -
The Indian rose to his feet as if in extreme
suffering. Hp passed and re-passed mo seve
ral time's,' and .once-pinehed me in the side so
Violeatly, that the pain nearly, brought forth
an exclamation of atter. t looked at him.—
Ills eye mot mine, but his look was so•forbid
.ding that it struck a chill into the ner
vous of my sistern. He again seated
himself; drew his butcher knife from ita grea
ay scabbard, exarnin6d its,edge as I.vreuld do
that of it razor suspected dull, replaced it, and
again taking his tomahawit fronr his back, filled
the pipe of It with tobacco, and seat mo ex-,
pressivo glances whenever our hostess chanced
to have her back towards us 4
Never, until that, moment, bad my senses
been awakened
,to the danger which I now sue;
peeted about me. I returned &nee for-glance'
to my companion, and rested well assured, that,
whatever enemies might liave, he.itas .not of
the number.
' I asked , the within for my watch, wound it
up, and under,preterme, of seeing' .. .Atha
rob
weather, Might pel)ly he on theinokr (mit'
up my gun and walked out of the Gable, I.
slipped a ball Into *mob bariOl; \soraitetlio'
edge of my — flititil; tbnewod.the priming, and
returning to tho hut, gave a favorable account
' of my observations. I took a few bear skins,
and =Oita ,Pallet of them, and calling my
faithful dog to my side,;lay' down; With my
gun close to my bOdy,- and in a few minutes
was to nil appearandii fait asleep.
- --A short time had elapsed, and some .voices
were beard, and from
.the corner of my eyes,
.I.saw two athletio
.youtlis making their en
trance; bearing a stag tin a polo. They dispo
sed_of their burden, and asking . for =whiskey,-
helped themselves to. it freely. Observing
me and the wounded Indian, they asked who
I was, and why the devil that rascal (meaning
the Indian, who they know understood not a
word of English) was, in the house. The mo
ther, for so sho . proved tole, badethem speak
less loudly,•made mention of my watch; and
took them to a corner, where a conversation
look - place, the purpor , t of which. it required
little shrewdness in ma to guess. I tapped my
dog gently., Ito moved his tail, and with in
describable pleagure I saw his fine eyes fixed
on mo and raised towards'the trio in the corn
er. felt that he perceived dangerin my sit,
nation. ThO Indian exchanged a last glance
•
with mo.
The lads had eaten and drank themselves
into such a condition, that I already looked
upon them as hors do combat, and the frequent
visits of the whiskey bottle, to the ugly mouth
of their claim.' hoped soon would reduce her
to a like state. Judge of my astonishment,
reader, when I saw this incarnate fiend take a
large.cnrving-knife and go.to the grind-stone
to whet its edge. I saw her pour the renter on
the turning machine, and watched her work
ing away with the dangerous instrument, un
-til,the-sweat-eoyered-every-part7of
in despite of my determinuiloa to tcurou me:
self t,u the lust. tier task Ekeished, she walk
ed to her reeling eons, and -said—•• There
that'll soon settle Maki_ Buys,.,y,en ,kill—and
then for the watch."
_I turned, cocked my guii- locks silently,
touched my faithful companion, and lay ready
to start up and shoot the Arta who might at
tempt my life. The moment was fast approach
ing, and that night might have been my last
in this world, had not Proyldencicrnacle—prep
artition'for my rescue.. All 'Was ready. The
infernal hag was adrancing- slowly, probably
contempladnetho best way of tlespatclting,ime
_whilst her Sons should.be eniaged with the
dien. I was several times on thc7ave of . ri
sing up and shooting het , on..the spot : . 'but she
was not to be punish - el thus, The door was
suddenly opened and two 0(44_ travellers en
tered, each with a long , nifi,i - o'k. his shoplder.—
I bounced on my feet, and bidding them a
hearty Welcome,' told them:het well it was for
, me that they had ariivetl' at' that ,moment.—
1 The tale was told in a miyute. The drunkey
sons were secured, and the woman ' in spite of
her defence and vociferations, shared the earns
fate. The Indian fairly danced with joy, and
gave us to understand that, as he Could not
sleep for pain, ho would watch over us. You
may suppose that we slept much lees than we
talked. The two strangers gave mo an se
count-of—their-once-having--been—thetairerfeTfilY
a somewhat similar situation. Day came, fair
and rosy, and with it the punishment of
,our
captives.
They were - now quite sobered.. Their,. feet
were unbound, but their arms were etill se
curely tied. We marched them into the woods
off the road, and having need them, as regula
tors wore wont to use such delinquents, we set
fire to the cabin, gave - all the skins and imple
,menta to the young Indian warrior and then
proceeded, well pleased, `.towards the-settle
ments.
During , upwards of twenty-five yeais, when
my wanderings extended to all parts of our
country, this was the only time at which my
life was in danger from my fellow-creatures. '
Indeed; BO little'riik do travellers run hi the
United States that no one born there ever
dreams of any to be encolntered on thp road ;
and I can only account for thin pcenrrence by
supposing that. tho inhabitants of the cabin
wore not Americans.
Will you helieve,roader,thatnot many miles
from the place where this adventure happened,
and where, fifteen years ago, no habitation be
hinging to civilized Inn was expected, and
'very few ever seen, large roads aro now laid
out, cultivation has converted 'the woods into_
fertile fields, taverns are' erected, and much of
what we Americana call comfort is now Vo.be
met with. So.fast (lees improvement proceed
in our abundant and free country.

The next thing to be done was -still more ex
traordinary; a large basket was iiroduced, in
which was put a lean hungry Parish slut. Af

shako of the wicker covering. What rendered
these suddden changes so extraordinary was
that no ono stood near the basket but the jug
gler, who raised and covAre_d_tlioanimalavrith_
it. When be concluded his exploits there was
nothing tons seen under it, and what becatiap
of the different animals which figured in this
singular deception, was &question that puzzled
all. - A man now took a small bag of brass
balls, which he threw, ono by one into the o
pen air, to the numar of thirty-five. None of
them appeared to return. When he had dis

a minute. He then made a variety of motions
with his hands, and at the same time grunted
forth a sort a sort of barbarous chant. In
few seconds the halls were seen to full one by
one until the whole of them were placed in the
ba'g; this nes repeated at least a half a dozen
times. ' I'so one was allowed to come near him
while this interesting juggle was performed. M%
A gaunt looking Hindoi,then stepped forward
and declared ho would swallow n snaiN; open
ing a box he produced 'a Cobra di Cepello not
-less-than - fivo - feetlong; anti ai - fig as an in
fant's wrist. Ho stood apart at some distance
from us, and like his predecessors, would not
allow any ono to approach him, so that the ile
ception appeared no longer equivocal- He
then, as it appeared to us, took the snake, and
putting its tail into his mouth, gradually low
ered it into his stomach, until nothing but the
head lap - peered to project between his lips,
when,qh a sudden gulph, he seemed to com
plete. the disgusting process of deglutition, and
to secure the odious reptile within his' body,-.
After the expiration of a few seconds ho-open
ed his mouth, Jind gradually drew forth the
snake, which ho replaced in the box. •
The next thing that engaged our attention
was a feat of dexterity altogether astonishing.
An elderly wornan„the upper part. of whose
body was entirely uncovered, presented her
self to our notice, and taking a bamboo, twon
ly feet high,placed it upright upon a flat stone,
and then without any support, climbed to the
top of it with surprising agility. Having done
This, she stood upon ono leg on the top of the
bamboo balancing it all the while,
Round her waist' slie had a girdle, to which
was fastened an iron socket. * Springing from
her upright position on the bamboo she threw
herself horizontally forrnird, with such exact
precision, that the top of the pole entered' the

determined in this case to put all former of

Maddened at the thought that they can
find no public act of Gov. Johnston which will
not bear the strictest scrutiny, they abandon

drag new issues into the contest, with whioh the'
. the two great parties of I f onnsylvania; strietly
speaking, never, had, and, I trust, never wilt
have anything to do. To prove this I need on
ly refer you to the "Address" recently issued
by the so-called " Democratic State Central
Committee.' It is signed by Wm. Dock, Wm.-
Ross, Wm. Deal, T. J. Powers, J. Ellis Bon-
I ham, Jas. Burnsides, F. H. Boas, G. W. Bow

a few political gudgeons, who swallow without
stint, whatever bears the impress of a locofo

" SFo trolemni_belie_v_o_that_the_re,electiou_
of Gov. JOHNSTON would be fraught with
danger to the peace of the country,. and with ,
consequent ruin to our commerce, foreign• and.
domestic."

tee are either consummate-sole; 'or - arrant
knaves, 'and theyare- welcome' to hang, on ei

are opposed to the Fugitive Slava - Lftvvitindi

the South, and ready to strike hands with the -
