EACH ONE IIATII A PART TO DO.
Men and brother! tip, bo dninj,
Help each other by the way.
Aid with hand and heart Hie tfavrr.inj
Of a great and miality d.iy.
Think not earth hath fixed teaefcers,
Progreat centered in the few;
- All men more or less arc missioned
Each one hath a part to do.
Lend yonr aid, however hide,
Lend your talent, thoogh it' srr.ai';
Trifles thrive by combination.
Workinjf for fie good of a!!;

All men tnay assist each other.
Though it but a trido be;

Many pillars bear the tho templa
Varied in their strength and hei(

And though versatile in greatness,
Eeach contribute to its might.
Thus, tho' men proclaim their weakness
And their talents small and few.
Each one shares in human greatness.
Each one hath a part to do.
Men are brothers! onward! onward!
Lag not till the work is done!
Grow in ardoi, grow in earnest,

Stirring impulse bear you through.
All men aid the day that's dawning

The following anecdote, which we find
feoating in the sea of journalism, strikes
tss as conveying an important moral:
Slicking to One's Iiights: Old stories
very often have a forcible application to
present times. The following anecdote
we met with lately in an exchange paper:
"How is it, John, that you brirrg the
agon home in such a condition."
"I broke it driving over a stump."
"Where?"
Back in the woods, half a mile or so."
"Bat why Hid you run against the
rtamp? Couldn't you see how to drive
straight!

that we can do almost any thing, if we

Charles was placed by his father m the

his own efforts with dilfio ikies lhat only
courage, confidence, and perseverance,

these viituea did not make a

WHEN THEY CEASE TO LEAD, WE CEASE TO
SEPTEMBER 12,1850.
Wocdcrful Advcnlcrrs cf o Tccng Amcrimn.
The following narrative of the won
derful adventures of a young American,
which we copy from a Philadelphia pa
per, will be read with interest: Our
readers-have, already been apprized that
an Artie Expedition, intended to search
for the missing Sir John Franklin, has
been fitted out by the munificence of Mr.
Grinnell. a New-York merchant, and lias
started under the auspices of the general
Government; which, by authority of Con
gress, has consented that the officers of
oar Navy shall lead the daring enterprise.
Among these officers we observe the name
of Surgeon Elisha C. Kane, son of Hon.
John K. Kane, of this city, who volun
teered for the service, and is now princi
pal Surgeon of the expedition. We saw
the announcement of his name among the
officers with surprise. He has long been
suffering from a combination of infirmities,
the result of a series df ailvpntnrps snrh I
as few men living have .undergone, and
such as still fewer would voluntarily cm
buk in out of pure love of danger, and
the spirit of seeing the wonders and the
peculiarities of oilier parts of the globe.
Having enjoyed the acquaintance of this
brave young man, we are able to state
what follows of his career, even if we
should use that which was communicated
to us in semi-confidential intervals. No
American, of his age, has seen so much
of the peri's of the world, cr of the world
itself. He was surgeon of the American
legation to China, and on !u3 way to the
Celestial Regions, he spent some weeks
on a loot-tramp through, the orange groves
of Tirazil, and about a month in tiger
hant ng near Bombay. Hence, after a do;cn
unsuccessful attempts to smuggle Himself
into the forbidden lands of China, he
went over to the Philippines, and by the
aid of the srood Monks of the interior of
Manilla, explored its fastnesses and volca-
nic wonders. He was the first man to
descend into the great crater of the Tael,
lowered down two hundred feet over the
brink, by a bamboo rope tied round his
middle, -and hroughf ,;lck a bottle full of
its sulphur water, burning off his. boots in
the lava cinders. Leaving China, after a
second visit, in which he encountered
shipwreck, he passed to India as physi
cian of the Dreinandhar Dagore, and was
palanquined for some three months thro'
the wonders of its mountain architecture,
the andent glories of Candy, the slupend- j
ous passes of the Ghaut country, visiting j
Madris, Pondieherry, and every spot that;
we have read of in the trial of Warren i
Hastiags. Next, to Upper Egypt and j
Abysinuia, crossing the desert on his !
camel, to the basis of Jupiter Arnmon,
climbing, at break-neck risk, to the top
stone of the sounding Colossus of Mem-
non, snd exploring the tombs of the Pha- j
roahs for a fortnight or three weeks, with i
ProlVtor Lepsus and his associates. !
Wrecked uiin while passing down the!
Nile, r.nd wounded in an encounter near j
Alexandria, he pushed across to Greere,
and traversed every scene of Classic inter- 1
est, cfanbing to the Hippocrene Soring,!
.i im.f l' i
He returned by Italy, France and Eng-
i ,.,,i .,i , r... ..!,. Kr.., . i
cruise on the coast of Africa. Renewinz !
here some acquaintances which had been i
lormed in Brazil, he was allowed to in
spect the entire machinery of the slave
?rade, and to pass up into the interior un
der the firman Desousa, the great inter
mediary between the chiefs of the slave
making districts and the Brazilian carriers.
The coast fever was his pay for this trip,
and he was sent home by Commodore
Read, invalided. Imperfectly patched up
from the effects of this visitation, he vol
unteered for service with the army in
Mexico, and was ordered, with despatch
es, on a dare-devil race through the coun
try our troops had left, to overtake Gen.
Scott. Availinjr himself at
miscreant escort
Worth had
he got into
which he reecivei
Gaona and General Torrejon, and had his
horse killed under him, and was himself
desperately wounded, whilst ' protecting
the lives of his prisoners against his own
men. Since then he has been cruising
and practising hydrography on the coast
survey, 'up to the moment of receiving his
telegraphic despatch, accepting his urgent j
proner of services for the Artie Expedi
tion. He had the rice fever in the Canton
river, the plague in Egypt, the yellow; fe
ver at Rio, the congestive at Pnebla,and
the African fever -on the coast. These,
and wounds, and an organic disease of
heart, which he has had - from boyhood,
have been his preparations for the hazards
he is encountering now. "Altogether ;Jiis
history - is-eventful and thrilling for so
young a man,-and induces us cordially to
hope that he may return from his last ad
ventures with new honors and restored
constitution.

A Haney Hooii Scene. '
A correspondent thus describes a scene
that took place at Saratoga, a short time
since, between a newly married '. couple
who was then spending the houey moon:
A bridal party came down a few days
since, I never saw a more houey moonish
looking set in my life. The bride and
groom looked, walked, talked and acted
love to the life. A more devoted couple
you could never behold. They were sit
ting in the parlor one morning, when Iac
cidently heard the husband say with a
melting tenderness of voice and" manner.
"Did you speak, dearest?"'
"No, pet. I did not I was thinkin,"
replied the bride, locking cs angelic as
possible.
"Of whatw3 you thinking, my love?"
"I hardly dare tell you, pet."
"What loveliest of your sex, distrust
your adorer so soon!"
I Pardon a thousand pardons, Uear Ed
gar, it l have ever seemed to wrong eo no-
ble a oeir.g-.
Spoken like your own true self like
fond and dearlv loved wife."
"Oh Edgar, Edgar 3 0U are a flatterer
vou are, I know you are."
"No, no ycu wrong me indeed you
uo 1 corld not tlatter you the cherished
idol of my sou!."
"O.'i, naughty man! You know how
dear
you are to mi.
"You will tell me, then good angel that
you are you will tell me?"
I will but first give me assurance that
you will not frown on your too fond lie-
occca. a irown, tjugar nay even a re
proving look from your sweet eyes, would
break my now too happy heart. Say,
then, will you not frown?"
"Foolish child! Do the stars frown
when the poet looks up to them for inspi-
' ration? Does the fond mother frown when
i her first b,orn looks "P to her e7es 23 ke
I nest'es sl"' closer to her bosom? Does
love, fond, true, purs love, ever frown? '
"Oh, say no more, dear, dear Edger. I j

the most devoted of men!

"Of you only of you, Edgar, on mv

"And what of me my own Rebecca?"
"Alas what shall I say? How shall
I extricate myself from this perilous di

"Dear Edgar, you know "

At about the hottest hour, yesterdsr &f
ternocn, a police officer saw a man conie
out from a "provision store," i in Ninth
street, near Spruce. The appearanea of
I this man wes remarkable, chiefly because

material. He was a very thin man, and
seemed to have been melted awsr by the
