THE CARL AN D. -"With sweetest flowers enrich'd From various gardens cull'd with care." THE WINE CUP. The Wine-cup! touch It not! Youth, take thy hand away ! Poverty fills it up, With ruin and decay. Oh, youngster, heed thee well. Ere thou halt quaffed a drop— The seeds of death are there, Whose walk thou canst not stop! That wine-cup, spurn it hence— Though it may sparkle well— Though it be old and red, And suit thy palate well. Oft 'tis the fatal goal Whence leads the drunkard's path; Then heed it, youngster, well— Shun the woes a drunkard bath! When, in the festive hall, Thou meet'st a jovial band, When merry goes the hour, Where voices are sweet and bland! Should there the wine-cup come, Creating higher joy, Oh, spurn the wine-cup then, 'Tis dangerous, my boy. When in the wide world, youth, f boo hold'st thy d - --% ions way, If from thc path of truth, Temptations lead astray— If urged to drain the'glass, With thoughtless, heedless men, Oh, as thou lov'st thyself, Touch not the wine-cup then. Should hours of darkness come, And thy heart's purpose fail, Should life to thee seem vain, And earth a dreary vale— Oh, to the voice of truth Take bud, nor then be deaf, Shun, shun the wine-cup then, It cannot give relief.

With hands stuck in my holey pants, With eyes vich wed the ground, I valk along unquietly, Unknowin where I'm bound. My tendare, bleeding hart is thine; Here in the tender flour of youth, I pledge myself to thee alone, And swore 1 speak the truth. O cum my dear to thy fond swane, The queen of loafers be; If I don't luv thee, brake my neck, Or pitch me in the sea. Thou shan't have nothing hard to do, No work shall truhbul thee, But free from care, from cash, from pain, How happy you vil be! I've got a pretty little house, Vith jist vun little room, The Vorkus is my grand hotel, And there thy charms shall bloom. How nise our time vil glide along, I'll love thee till I die; I'll steel for thee all food vot's good, From mutton-head to nye. Then cum my dearest, marry me, You can't no better do; No loafer is the beat of I, No woman's fair as ycu. The essential features of cur modern dem agogues are faithfully shown in the following sketch of a political mountebank in the days of Richard 1., which we quote from a quant old poem by Sir James Burgess: • He aimed at power, but not for public good, Though this pretext in each insiduous speech He used to cloak his plans jejune and crude; On stages and in taverns he would preach; Insult the laws, the government impeach,— The People's sovereignty he would avow, The holy right of insurrection tesch, And how to make the law before its subjects bow. "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY." A. W. BENEDICT PUBIASIIER AND PROPRIETOR. HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 18:1 Sigtorettaneouo. A TR.1.T13 OTOR.T. Many years ago, I hapened to be one of the referees in a case which excited un• usual interests in our courts, from the singular nature of the claim, and the strange story which it disclosed. The plantiff, who was captain of a merchant ship which traded principally with the If est Indies, had married quite early, with every prospect et happiness. was said to be extremely beautiful, and no less lovely in character. After living with her in the most unin terrupted harmony, for five years. during which time two daughters were added to his family, he suddenly resolved to resume his occupation, which he had relinquished on his marriage, and when his youngest child was but three years old, sailed once more for the best Indies. his wife, who was devotedly attached to him, sorrowed deeply at his absence, and found her only' comfort in the society of her children and the hope of his return. But month after' month passed away, and he came not, nor did any letters, those insufficient but wel come substitutes, arrive to cheer her soli, tulle. Months lengthened into years, yet no tidings were received, of the absent husband; and after long hoping against hope; the unhappy wile, was compelled to believe that he had found a grave beneath the weltering ocean. Iler sorrow was deep and heartfelt, but the evils of poverty wcre now added to tier affliction, and the widow !build her ; self obliged to resort to some employment in order to support her children. Her needle was her onlyiresource, and for ten years she labored early and late, for the miserable pittiance, which is ever grudg ingly bestowed on a poor and humble seamstress. A merchant from New York, in moder ate but prosperous circumstances, acci dently became acquainted with her, and pleased with her gentle manners, no less than her extreme beauty - . endeavored to improve their acquaintance with friend ship. After some monnths, he offered his hand, and was excepted. As the wife of a successful merchant, she soon found her self in the enjoyment of luxuries, such as site had never before possessed. Her children became his children, and receiv ed from him every advantage that wealth and affection could procure. Fifteen years passed away; the daughters mar ried, and by their step-father were fur nished with every comfort requisite in their new avocation of house keepers. But the had scarcely quitted his roof when their mother was taken ill. She died al ter a few day's sickness, 'and from that until the period of which 1 speak, the widower resided with the youngest daugh ter. Now comes the strangest part of the story. After an absence of twetny yea's, during which time now tidings had been heceived from him, the first husband re turned as suddenly us he had departed. lie had changed his ship, adopted a nother name, and spent the whole of that lung period on the ocean, v ith only tran sient visits on share, while taking in or discharging cargo; having been careful never to come:nearer home than New Or leans. Ilhy he had acted hi this unpar donable manner towards his family, no one could tell, and he obstinatels refused all explanation. There were strange rumors of slave trading and piracy afloat, but they were only whispers of conjecture rather than truth. iLhatever might have been his motives for such canduct he was certainly any thing but indifferent to his family con cern• when he returned. lie raved like a mad man when he heard of hi wiles second marriage and subsequent death, vowing vengeance upon his successor, and terri fying his daughters with the most awful threats, in case they refused to acknowl edge his claims. lle returned wealthy, and one. of those mean reptiles of the law, who are always to be found crawling a bout the Halls of Justice, advised him to bring a suit against the second husband, assuring him that he could recover heavy damages. The absurdity of instituting a suit for a wife whom death had already released from the jurisdiction of earthly laws, was stimanifest, that it was at length agreed by all patties to leave the matter to be adjudged by five referees. It was on a bright and beautiful after noon in spring, when we met to hear this singular case. The sunlight streamed through the dusty windows of the court room, and shed a halo around the long grey locks and broad forehead of the de fendant; while the plantiirs harsh features were thrown into still bolder relief, lay the same beam which softened the placid countenance of his adversary. The planta's lawyer made a most elo quent appeal for his client, and had we hot been informed about the matter, our hearts would have melted by his touching description of the • desolate husband, and the agony with which he now beheld his household goods removed to consecrate a stranger's hearth. The celebrated Aaron Burr was counsel for the defendant, and we anticipated from him a splcndcd dis play of oratory. Contrary to our expectation, however, • Burr made no attempt to confute his op ponent's oratory. He merely opened a book of Statutes, and pointing with his thin fingure to one of its pages, desired the referees to read it, while - he retired for a moment to bring in the princepie wetness. It e had scarcely finished the section which fully decided the matter in our minds, when Burr re-entered with a tall end elegant female leaning on his arm. She was attred in a simple white dress, with a wreath of ivy leaves encircling her large straw bonnet, and a lace veil com pleatly concealing her countenance. Burr whispered a few words, apparently en coura„o ' inir her to advance, and then gracefully raising her veil, disclosed to us a face of proud, surpassing beauty, I re-c -ollect as well as if it happened yesterday. how simultaneously the murmur of ad miration burst from the lips ofall present. Turning to the plantifi, Burr asked in a cold, quiet tone— 'Ho you know this lady Ans - wer. do. Burr. you swear to that?' Ans. '1 will; to the best of my knowl• edge and belief she is my daughter. burr. 'Can you swear to Bier identity?' Ans. '1 can'.' Butr. ft hat is her age?' Aus. 'She was 20 years of age oh the 20th day of April?' Burr. 'When did you last see het?' Ans. 'At her own house, about a fort night since.' Burr. 'II hen did you last see her pre-. vious to that meetinli?' The plantill hesitated—a long pause ensue the question was repeated, and the answer at etigth was On the 14th day of Mayl7 When she was just three sweeks old,' added Burr. 'Gentlemen,' continued he, turning to us, have brought this lady here, as an important witness, and such I trust she is. The plantili's counsel has pleaded elo quently in behalf of the bereaved husband who escaped the perils of the sea, and re turned only to find his some desolate. But who will picture to you the lonely wife bending over her daily toil, d: - •rating her best years to the drudgery of sordid poverty, supported only by the hope of her husband's return? Who will paint the slow progress of heart•sickeniu;, the wasting anguish of hope deferred , and finally the overwhel niog agony which came upon her when her last hope was extinguished, and she was compelled to believe herself indeed a widow? Who can depict all this without awakening in your hearts the warmest sympathy for. the deserted wife, and the utterest scorn for the mean pitiful wretch, who could thus trample on the heart of her whom be had sworn to love St cherish? We need not enquire into his motives for acting so base • a part. If heftier it was love of gain or licentiousness, or selfish indifference, it matters not; he is too vile a thing to be judged by such laws as govern men. Let us ask the witness—she who now stands before us with the frank, fearless brow of a true hearted woman--let us ask her whirls of these two has been to her a fath er." 'turning to the lady, in a .tone whose sweetness was in strange contrast with the scornful accent which had characteri sed his words, he besought her to relate briefly the recollectrons of her early lite. A slight flush passed over her proud and beautiful face as she replied. "My first recollections are of a small, illfurnished apartment, which my sister and myself shared with my mother. She used to carry out every Saturday evening, the work which had occupied her during the week, -and bring back employment for the following one. Saving that wear isome visit to her employers and her reg ular attendance at church, she never left the house. She often spoke of my father, and of his anticipated return, but at length she ceased to mention him, thoug h I observed she used to weep more fie j quently than ever. 1 then thought she wept because we were so poor, for it sometimes happened that our support was l a bit of dry bread; and she was accustom ed to see by the light of the chips which she kindeled to warm her famishing chil dren, because she could not purchase a candle withot depriving us of our morning meal.—Such was our poverty when my mother contracted a second marriage, and the .change to us, was like a midden en taancc into Paradise. We found a-home, and a father.' She paused. -- ..Would you excite my own child a gainst mc'P cried the planar, as he impa• RNAL. tiently waved his hand for her to be si lent. -- 'The eyes of the witness flashed fire as he spoke. 'You are not my father,' ex exclaimed she vehemently. 'The law may deem you as such, but I disclaim you utterly. What! call you my father?-- you, who so basely left your wife to toil and your children to beggary?—!Fever! !level! Behold there tiny tamer,' pointing to the agitated defendant. 'there is the man who watched over my infancy—who who was the sharer duty childish sports, and the guardian of my inexperienced youth. There is he who claims my idtec tion and shares my home; there is my fialter. For yonder selfish wretch, know him not. The best years of life have been spent in lawless freedom from social ties; let hint seek elsewhere for the companion of his decreptitude, nor dare insult the ashes of my mother, Iv claim ing the duties of kindred from her de serted children!' She drew her veil hastly around her as she spoke, and moved of as if to withdraw. •tientlemcn,' said Barr, have no more to say. The words of the law are expressed in the book before you; the words of truth you have just heard from woman's pure lips; it is for you to decide according to the requisitions of nature and the decrees of justice.' I need not say that our decision was in favor of the defendant, and that the plan t;ff went forth followed by the contempt of every honorable person who was pros• ent at the trial. BEAUTY OF THE JEWESS BY CIIATEAUBRIAND, Fontaine asked me one day, why the women of the Jewish race were so much handsomer than the men. I gave him a reason at once poetical and Christian. The Jewcsns, I replied, have escaped the curse which has alighted upon their fath ers, husbands and sons. Ntt a Jewess was to be seen amon,g the crowd of priests and rabble who insulted the son of man, scourging him, crowned him with thorns, subjected hiin to ignominy and the cross. The woman of Judea believed in the Sa viour—they loved, they followed him, they soothed him under afflictions. A woman in Bethany poured on his head the precious ointment which she kept in a vase of alabaster; the sinner annointed Isis feet with a perfumed oil, and wiped them with her hair. Clu ist on his part, extended his grace and mercy to the Jew esses; he raised - from the (lead the son of the widow of Nain, and Martha's brother, Lazarus; lie cured Simon's mother-imlaw, and the woman who touched the hem of his garment. To the Samaritan woman he was a spring of living water, and a compassionate judge to the woman in crime. The daughters of Jerusalem wept over him, the holy women accompanied him to Calvary; balm and spices, and weeping sought Idm at the sepulchre: "wo man, why weepest thou?" His first ap pearance was to Magdalen; lie said to her, , 'Nfary!" At the somd of that voice Magdalen's eyes were opened, and she answered, "Master!" The reflection of some very beautiful ray must have rested on the brow of the Jewessep. RECOLLECTIONS.—Time mellows ideas as it mellows wine. Things in them selves indifferent acquire a certain ten derness in recollection; and the scenes of our youth, though neither remarkable for feeling, rise up to our memory digni• fled at the same time and endeared. As countrymen in a distant land acknow ledge one another as friends, so objects to which, when present, we gave but little attention, are nourished in distant remem brance with a cordial regard. If in their own nature of a tender kind C. ties which they had in the heart are drawn still clo ser, and we recall them with an enthusi asm of feeling which the same objects at the immediate time are unable to excite. The hum of a little tune, to which in our infancy we have often listened; the course of a brook, which in our childhood we have frequently traced; the ruins of an ancient building which we remember al most entire; these remembrances sweep over the mind with an enchanting power of tenderness and melancholy, at whose bidding the pleasures, the business, the ambition of the present moment fade and disappear. Our finer feelings are gener ally not more grateful to the fancy than moral to the mind. Of this tender power which remembrance has over us, several uses mi,ght be made; this divinity of mem ory, did we worship it aright, might lend its aid to our happiness as well as our virtue. The Detroit Daily Advertiser of the Ist mentions that the steamboat Erie, on her passage up the Detroit river, came in con tact with a small British steamboat, a few miles above Malden, and the latter sunk instantly. It was not ascertained wheth er any lives were lost. [ VoL. IV, No 35 7Deterrtii art( tteo• EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
