sought, she wculd keep them gamed in her heart, and stifle at once with its un wonted beatings. Until she knew her love would be returned, she would not cast it abroad. "Ellen," said Clement, after listening to a recital of her antipathies to u repub lican life and manners, "I - believe Irene Hargr..ve has turned your head. You talk almostas silly as herself. It does no honor to the good sense of Arherican girls to despise their own country, which can boast as true and noble sons as the loidly courts of Europe. I hope you will not suffer Miss Hargrave longer to fashion your opinions, for I perceive that she is exerting a very deleterious effect on your mind. And believe me, Ellen, Miss Hargrave has no real regard for you, and . wilt cast aside all thoughts of you, when she returns to New York." "And how can you tell that?" asked Ellen. "Because," replied Clement, '•her pro fessed regard for you is not founded upon your merits, but upon your station in life, and such friendship is never abiding. It will change with every turn of fortune's wheel. I can see in her no good quali ties for you to copy, and she has taught you to neglect and despise old and valua ble friends, whose honest love is far great er worth than her cold professions of re. gard." "Why," said Ellen, "I did not intend to east aside my 014 friends, and shall value them when Irene is gone." "But you must remember, Ellen that friendship is not a thing to be cast aside and resumed at pleasure. Your former friends will not value love which they find so inconstant. "I believe, brother, I have flout wrong and will surely atone for my errors.— But I will not believe Irene insincere, till I have -surer proof than your surmises. And here she is coming down the street, and two young ladies with her, friends from New York, I presume. How very fashionable they arc dressed." The young ladies passed the window, and Ellen greeted Irene with a familiar bow. But it was not returned, and she distinctly heard Irene reply to an inter rogatory of the yourg ladies. that she was one of her simple country acquaintan ces, anjl had a brother as 4101 as herself. Clement saw that Ellen was pained and left the room without remark, leaving El len to muse alone on the worth of Irene's friendship. Ellen was naturally a kind and affec tionate girl, but gay and thoughtless.— She had been flattered by Irene's atten tion, and had been induced to act contrary to the principles of her nature. But when she saw that Irene's re g ard for her was all assumed, her mind 'resumed its former feelings, and she loved her country friends better than she had ever done Irene Hargrave, and at length became so very republican in her feelings, as not to think it vulgar for rich and poor to asso ciate together, provided they were equally sensible and well bred. She loved poor Lucy Raymond too, and Clement loved her for her self alone . and told his tale of love. And Lucy y.eltled to him her heart's devotion, and her after lite was one byight reality of happiness. t, 41- The memory of Irene Hargrave had nearly faded from the mind of Ellen Loft land, when one morning as she was perus ing a New York paper, the following par agraph, under the beautiful sentiment, “The silken tie that binds two willing hearts," met her eye. •'Married, yesterday morning, by the. 121 v. Dr. , his Grace the Earl of Aihel stane, to Miss Irene Hargrave, of this city. The happy pair, after a short excursion up the Hudson, will sail im mediately for England, where they are to reside upon the Earl's princely estates." "Well," exclaimed Ellen, "L•ens has arrived at the pinaele of happiness: She has married a foreign nobleman, and gone to reside in aristocratic Europe. A bright commencement has her married life, tru ly." "But a sail final,' replied Clement, taking a paper of more recent date from his hat, and reading the following:— " We would warn the public against the impositions of a scoundrel calling himself, the Earl of Athelstane, who came to this city a few weeks since, and under the above title, married the daughter of one of our most wealthy and esteemed citizens. He has since decamped, with several thousand dollars of his wife's property, and it is ascertained that he is a worthless villian, and has practizesl similar impo sitions upon several respectable young la dies in our cities. We hope this will serve to cure some of our fashionable young ladies of their mania for foreign husbands, and teach them to regard mind instead of manner, in their estimate of one's character." THE LOAFER'S SOLILOQUY I have a faint recollection of having been sober at some eally period of my life before, and things looked very much as they do now. It is distressing to think how ugly sobriety makes a man lock. Yesterday I thought myself:in uu..ommon handsome young man, and now I'll be hanged if I don't look so much like a rag ged old beggar that I'm actually ashamed of myself. Thete arnt half so many stars in the sky as there were last night, and they don't dance half so merrily as they commonly do. They say its July, but 1 believe they lie, for 1 shiver like Dece mber.

Alt! them cursed drunk. ea Charlies are all asleep, as usual—•the last thump would'nt wake 'cut. They have no humanity no bowels.—lf it feels so bad to be sober, I wonder every body is'nt drunk. How I pitty the poor Tem perance Society! They want to drink water and nothing else; for dogs wont drink brandy they say. That's because they're irrational brutals, and don't know what's good. Now I'm not a dog but a man, and I'll stick to brandy, 1 wish it would to me. I wish my throat was a mile long, so I could taste it all the way down. If I had try way they should'ut be any stores nor dwelling houses' but all barrooms and taverns, and I'd drink till every body else was dead, and then I'd set up a tavern myself. Ido feel awful sick and if there were no water in the docks /'d go and drown myself. What a pity they arnt till'd with something short, would'nt I jump in? The corporation ought to see to it, Now 1 think of it, I'll stow myself away in this gutter and hold on the curb stone. The sides, may be, will keep me from rolling off. I do not believe the Queen of England paint got such a bed quilt as I have; its the blue vault of Heaven. I wish it was tucked up a little closer about the edges. I say, ina'ame suppose you've got locked out as I have, but never mind I'll take care of you. Creep underneath the counterpane. Tslio! it's nothing but a dog, and I've thrown away my politeness. Go away dog! I'm meat for your master. 'Now the wicked cease from troubling and the wea.- ry are at rest' I feel a notion to deliver myself up to religious reflections, and I'm in a proper frame of mind for it.

MARRIAGE BY t lioughtonle-Spring, on Sunday week, an amusing circumstance occurred, which has yleitieci merriment to the gos- 1 sips of the district. A young couple 7m .e -seated themselves at the altar to bejoin ed gtogether in holy matrimony; and, in the midsts of the buckling ceremony, when they were called upon to join hands they each held out, in the nervous confu sion of the critical moment, the left in stead of the right kind. The recognised mister of the ceremonies, the !parish clk., corrected the Llunder; and the lovers, tickled by their mutual jnadves tance, burst into a most uneanonical fit of laugh ter, which speedily infected the wedding attendants. The curate refused to com plete the ceremony, and the disappointed pair left the church halt married. On the' following day, however, the marriage was perfected oy another clergyinan.—Cur. lisle (Eng.) Journal' STonx AT CARLISLE, Pa.—We learn from the Phi:a. Nat.

On one or two occasions we have allu ded to the increased expense of taking care of the public works, under Poiter's administration. We find in the Lewis . town Gazette the following account of the actual difference. We desire the peo. plc to read it carefully, and see what they think of' the conduct of this Dog keeping power which now reigns. Two years ago, and they incessantly prated about the expense of the public works. They called on the people to drive the, plunderers away from the public crib aye, but by did they?—was it not he. muse they desired to get at it, satisfied t l , , ir professions of honesty would H.-. 1 .1 , , •-yes of the people, until they 1 , 11 •t. 1,,, r with impunity? We felt t they would reform no t hi t , : , the PLUNDER P Nll r •• o thy- nectars belong the spoil s' their motto, and they make spoils of all the money they call get,into their hands. Thus $380,000 was borrowed last sum mer, to carry on the repairs between this . and Ilnllidaysburg—and an interest of 4 per cent. Early in the winter a law was passed to borrow the same amount as a permanent loan to pay the above sum. The Girard, Batik gave them the money, and up to this time we believe, it has ney ,,r beer pid, so that the State is now aim per ceni, , Or money, and si ;y .cdure the powers at Hari isburg desire to keep the money in their hands, at the expense of the state, and to the oppres , sion of the poor and needy laborer. They Are the plunder panty, and we ask the peo•' ple to remember how they scolded about increased expenses. if you cannot recol. lect we must hunt over their old files and, give their own words. Compare now the expenses of the two ntltninistrntion, we are wrong we can be corrected by al certified statement from the Auditor! General's Office. Under the administration of Ritner,l the expenses per day were One Supervisor $2 50 Four Foremen 1 50 6 00 Four Horses 62. 2 50 ,Nine laborers Expenses per day $l9 10 which being multiplied by thirty gives the monthly cost of $573 00 Under Porter's administration the ex- Tenses are Two Supervisors 2 50 $5 00 Six Foremen 1 63 9 00 Six Horses ' 62 3 75 Thirty laborers . 4)0 27 00 Expenses per day Which multiplied by thirty gives 11342 5 50. or more than twice as much as it cost under Ritzier, being an in crease of expenses in a year of nine thou. sand one hundred and twenty four dollars, (merely on that small portion of the canal under one supervisor during Ritner's ad' ministration. And added to the whole is the expense of a Superintendent. This too is the conduct of the new re form administration, retretichment in ex penses—econotny in conducting—and a decrease of officers, were to be the lead ing ti sits of this reform party. How has it terminated? Look at the yearly ex pense of about 40 miles of canal, and ask .oirqelves where was the economy. i 8.18, 1839, Showing an increase of $9,124 00• e ask the honest who have been duped to re►nember these things. Thomas Levers. Some weeks since we published a stale merit relative to the appointment of this worthy subject, or pensioned slate of the British Queen. Be, or his friends admit, that he now receives the rrice of his ser vitude, under that Government. Instead of condemning such a disgraceful prefer i ence, many of tha Lucu Foco papers laud the existing State administration, for passing by the claims of honest, indepen dedt freemen, to pick up this imported if not transported aristocrat, to lord it over our native citizens. There is however really seine hope that such barefaced corruption will not always escape exposure ; we find their own friends awaking from their lethargy, and - holding language like the following. The extract below is from the "Vcnango Dem ocrat," edited by J. W. Shugert; and he tells the tale of wrong in words that burn, and we should like to know how Jemmy Clark, and his guilty compeers relish a dish served up with such seasoning by one of their own friends. We are now and have been long since satisfied, that the canal board cared nothing for the wishes of the people, but would rather trample upon their petitions than answer them, But to Shugert's story, read it: "Some of the Democratic papers of the interior are weekly filled with replies to attacks made upon Thomas Lever, a bro ken down English Aristocrat, who has been appointed to office - by the present Board of Canal Commissioners, on the Portage Rail Road- It is a hard thing this, for the democracy, to support and de fend the subjects of John Bull, particular ly a fellow like Lever, who was distinguish. ed in the days of his prosperity for his haughty and overbearing disposition; who then treated honest Americans as if they were an inferior order of men, and who is a Tory at heart. Why tory foreigners are placed in office in preference to honest republican citizens is a matter to us unac countable. It is outrag eous, and the men who countenance such things should have the mark of Cain set upon them. We are acquainted with hundreds of worthy republicans. —republicans by birth, in heart, and in practice, who would have done honor to any station in the gift of the Canal Commissioners, whose claims have scarce received a passing notice; yet here is a mendicant British grandee, a lieuten ant of the British army, a man without an American feeling, prefered before the sons' of the soil, who are ever ready to shed theirlast drop of blood in its defence." Election of Canal Commis- sioners. Our readers will see in another column that the Senate passed a bill to elect the 'Canal Commissioners. Not, however, un• tit the Loco Focos had done all they knew how, to oppose it. In the House, its fate: was different. The Loco Foco Demo crats have a majority in that body. These roaring lovers of the dear people, reign triumphant. These brew ling opposers of the aristocracy can count more noses there. In fact, the"rowdies, drunkards, dog-keepers, thieves and puijurere, crea ted, made, and now rule that dignified' body. They, with all their Democarcy- 7• wish all their love of the dear people with all their hatred for aristocracy,— they have voted down, by a strict party vote, the law, to elect the Canal Commis sioners. They have refused to let their deur people have a voice in choosing their own officers. They have virtually said, that they are incapable to select cow e tent men—else too honest and liable to be imposed upon by the falsehoods, and vio lated oaths of knavish politicians, '(which the result of last tall's election, would seem to prove was reasonable.) But, be that as it may. These demo crats! heaven save the mark! vote against the right and capacity of the peo• ple to choose their own servant. , . They have declared that one man was better judge than,all the Farmers, Mech it ics Laborers in the state, This is tl de mocracy. /c is all talkl when th ar called upon to act, they violate every pre cept preached—and prove themselves the rankest kind of aristocrats. Every honest Farmer will see, and feel it, if lie patiently submits to such insults! Are not the people the s best judges of what they desire? and is not the right of the peo ple to select their own officers, one of the plainest principles of democracy?--and are they not aristocrats who refuse to let them exercise that right? Let the honest and industrious bear in mind, the fact, that these tools of David R. Porter, refu se, to let the people elect their own OM cers,because they wish him to use his pow .er and patronage on the canal, to keep honest Davy in; this is the secret. We really hope that the people will vote for no man this fall fur assembly, who will not pledge himself to support the passage of a law to elect Canal Commissioners., Do so and we doubt not these open mouth ed democrats will pledge themselves; but their pledges like their out/is are bro. ken without remorse. If the people would preserve their rights, let thee► look to it. Those that cry out most about de mocracy, always have the least of it. 8 10 $44 75 $6,876 00 16.111 00 labitortat Astnintarp.
