Old Stone Creek's shores are sweet to view, With moss and wild fhwer crown'tlk And richly dcck'd in robes of green,- Her banks are ever found. Whilst standing nn her lofty cliffs, You view this lovely stream ; Fancy would whisper as it pass'd, 'Twas but a lurch• dream. The crystal brooks, that to her side In gentle murmurs play; As down her cliffs they shelving glide, Are lovely as the day. The Mach, where the robin buildl— The hemlock and the pine— The stately oak with lofty top— The ivy and the vine. The rocks, the trees, the towering The pine trees, dark and high, Whose slender tops of ever green Seem close against the sky. The hills outstretching far and Wide, Are lovely to be scut,•' The fun ne'er shed a put er ray, Than lights thy vallies green. Yet, lonely must those hills be made... , That sun must set in gore, Ere footsteps of vile Masonry, Imprint fair Stone Creek's shore ! The apron of the bloody lodge— The compass and the square, Shall ne'er infest fair Stone Creek's land, Nor hold their meetings there. Nor Martin Van, nor Davy R., With purse, and sword, and spear Can ne'er dismay thy honest sons, Nor hold their hearts in tear. Should e'cr this Loco Foco host Insult old Stolle Creek fair, We'll meet them on her rocky coast, Ar.d gather laurels there. For oh! old Stone Creek's sons are free; Their banner streams in air, And limuttsot4 and liberty, Is new the watch—word there. The war worn hero of North Bend, To us is ever dear; With him we'll follow on our caurse, No dangers will we fear. Then let this flag a nerve impart To every patriot's hand— Let it inspire each valiant heart, Till oughout fair Stone Creek's land Till Harrison and Tyler too, Their country's call obey, And snatch from each vile Tory's hand, The po Ner he would betray. Then shouls from all thy freedom sons, Shall rend the air as one, And cheers to TYLER fill her vales, And cheers to HARRISON. Stone Creek, April 15, 1840.

On Pride• hubs; tray be considered one of the strongest passions or emotions of the hu man mind ; but we more frequently see it united with ignorance, than with good sense. There is a portion of pride, ne cessary to the preservation of the human 'character, but, when it is carried to an extent beyond that medium, it becomes disgusting in the sight of modesty and hu tnility, and never tails to render the pos sessor contemptible in the eyes of the chaste and uncorrupted. Adversity is necessary to the state of man, to prevent that red undance of pompous pride or,inde pentium°, and to reduce that plethora of the soul, by which he forgets the true source from whence his blessings flow— prosperity continued, soon wraps him up in his own conscious greatness; and he disdains the humble avocations of ofnr ing up thanks:to that Being who has strew ed his path with plentiful abundance, and given hint the means lay which he may be happy. What is man ?ishe a being of celestial origin, and are the destinies of time and eternity in his own hand did he command creation to be framed from nothing, and did it obey ? or did be say let there be light, and immediately light sprang up ? did he snatch that flaming sphere—the sun—from the dark caverns of chaos, and hurl it with preponderous arm, to be fixed for ages in the vast wil derness of the Universe 7 I say, did he • bid order and regularity to prevade the immensity of space. 7 and did he form those immutable laws which every where exist, throughout the vast profound of na ture's arcand? No, he did not; en far from having the sceptre in his own hands, he was formed after the great fabric of t he Universe was framed. Ile has but one circumstance' connected with his for mation of which he may boast, which is, that he was made in the image of his great architect, the Sovereign of the Universe. Man is but a worm—He is superior to the different orders and gennera"which sur round him, in point of intellectual reason, but like them he falls by the winter of age, by casualties, by disease, and by many other frailties incident to animal matter. He is seen no more on earth. Scarcely has he embarked on the tempestuous waves of time, before the current turns from the course which he was pursuing, and finally lands him with all his boasted greatness, on the uuknown shore of an awful eternity. From the moment he makes his en trance on the stage of action, he is gradu ally undergoing the process of decay, and hastening along, without perceiving his rapidity, to a final dissolution. The particles of nature, or the atomic portions of animal matter, me continual ly changing, and the same flesh which covers his bones to-day, will, in the course of a small space of time, be enti rely carried away by the astonishing pro cess of nature; and be hnperceptibl: r re• placed by a new formation. Thus lie is ever changing, until the final scene of life is closed—when he is given up a prey to the insects of the earth; and there to be transformed, and his semblance lost in the clods of the valley How hu ululating the thought; shall man then presume to be proud of that body which is destined to be the food of loathsome worms? surely not. He is but a traveller on this terraryueous ball, and already are the shades of evening be ginning to gather round him, and the darl , mantle of night will envelope the torch of day, upon which he is delightea to gaze: It is the night of death; soon will he cease 'to behold the dazzling forms of youth dance in festivity around hint, and soon will he cease to hear the sweet melody of ' music, or the song of the warbler in the solitary grove—scenes which delight and scenes which inspire, will be shut out from his vision forever. Nor is it the hoary age alone which is doomed to this melancholy catastrophe. The tender flower of youth is alien laid prostrate by the keen edged scythe of time, and con• igned to the sold embrace of death. No age, sex or c ondttion are exempt, but all Hurrah, Bcc, alike are buried in the dust. Let us ap- Proach the repository of the dead, and seek there _for distinction. There is the tomb of the ambitious man, whose aspi ring soul onco plunged a nation in wo, and whose name is written in human blood upon the 'tablet of remembrance, handed down to posterity. But behold here he lies in his own insignificance. Here is the grave of the proud man, who considered himself superior to his fellow mortals, and looked down with degrading contempt upon those who were equal by the ties of nature. What is presented now? Let us wrench the firm portals which lock him from the sight, and search after the ditnrence be- tweon him and the beggar at his side. Ah ! what an appalling spectacle his re mains present to the astonished sight. A ghastly skeleton is all that is left, and ev en that cannot be recognised to have be- longed to so boastful a being. See, his bones are beginning to crumble into dust, and then, where will be the proof that he ever .existed on the earth? None, none ' will then be found. He will have retur ned to his mother earth, and his pride all forgotten, The sporting school boy will pass by his grave regardless of his great ness, and cull the daisy that decks the! plain. A short space is allotted to his relics in this solitary ground, and the same space is given to the pauper, who slumbers at his side. Miserable thought to the proud man, but alas! he dare not deny it. There in his sight, sleeps the skull which was once filled with as many utopian dreams as that which gazes with vacant stare upon it. Heart rending idea to the proud man, he there views that state to which his own frame must be sub jected, which he now thinks is too good, almost, to tread the earth beneath him. I Thus sleeps the great Alexander, and thus slumbers the immortal Ceasar,—Their Ipride :could not retrieve their fall, and their boasted superiority could not escape the yawning jaws of the grave. Death is no respecter of persons, but devours without remorse, his millions at a meal, and slays youth, beauty, pride and gran deur; nor casts a single glance on his in ' discriminate choice. What rivers of ing tears have swept their course from the eyes of relatives, for the loss of their dearest friends. Pride was carried away ' at the deluge, and its brother ambition, sunk at his side. There is not a single ' day swallowed up in the vortex of time. that does not carry with it to the vast lab• yrinth of eternity, the lives of thousands of the human family. Where is pride in this deathly famine; alas! it is destined to fill the famished maw of death. The brilliant eye, the blooming cheek, and the blushing lips of beauty, arc all destined to perish in the silent gloom of the grave. How strong is the admonition to improve the mind, and prepare it for the enjoyment of eternal felicity, instead of lavishing on the frail body of dust, th e gaudy trappings of earthy vanity which vanish into nothing the moment that death lays his cold hand on the warm brow of beauty. Thus we see that prid e is unbecoming such frail mortals, and when lile comes to a conclusion, we ar e convinced of its vanity. Let not the reader say that I give hu mility in words, and immorality in deeds , for his own reason will teach him that I write the truth, and that unpolluted by th e golden gloss of fascinating fiction. Go, ask the grave—go, ask the slumberer wrapped in his cold damp shroud—go, ask the sleeping warrior, who once scat tered nations, and at whose command em pires trembled, and t hey will tell thee, as with a voice of thunder, the vanity apd insignificance of all human pride.

Jon was a patient man, though his tem per was afflicted •vith divers ingenious tor ments, But there were nu newipapers published in the land of Uz, and Job was never called upon to perform the duties of an editor. [WotoLE No. 2: 2, A TRUE STORY There lived sonic years ago, in the town of , in Connecticut, a man who was much addicted to the practice of cm,verting his neipbor's property to his own use and benefit, without 'if ' or 'and.' The clergyman of the town suspecting him of making too free with his hay, had one night concealed himself in his barn with a dark lantern. The thief soon ap peared, and tying up a large bundle, had just left the premises, when the Reverend' owner, instead of bawling out, 'You scoun drel you! what do you mean by stealing my hay?' disengaged the candle from the lantern and dexterously applied it to the combustible load. The bundle was soon in a bright blaze, and the unlucky fellow, suspecting he was pursued by some per. son with a light, laid his feet to the ground with uncommon agility, But it was in vain to escape the pursuing fire. The blaze increasing brighter as he ran, seem.; ed to his terrified imagination to come nearer, till venturing to look around, to discover the extent of his danger, he per ceived to his astonishment, that his stolen hay was on fire. How it came so, pox. zled him not a little. But the conscious guilt assisted his natural credulity, he set tled down upon the conclusion that the fire was sent from heaven, to admonish him of his trangression. Full of this alar ming notion, he gave himself no rest until he had gone to the parson, and made con fession of his crime, and related the war ning from heaven. The Reverend gen tleman humored his credulity, under the idea that it might reform his life. He was not mistaken; for the blazing hay made so deep an impression on the fellow's mind, that from henceforth he forsook his evil course, became a valuable member of so ciety, and was united to tl.e flock of the judicious clergyman who had assisted so materially in his reformation. He finally died an honest man, in the firm belief of time interposition of providence in setting fire to the stolen hay. The parson kept the secret till the poor man was laid in the dust, but then even the clerical tongue could no longer resist the desire of com municating so serious an incident. ROME, What is home? a magic word--a sound that falls upon the ear like the strain of a lute as it is borne out on the evening air. What is home? Ask the mariner as he rucks upon the tossed deep. His time worn brow softens; and as he points to the dim line where the sea and cloud blend together he tells you 'There!' and that by the roaring reef and in the howling storm, he bethinketh himself of home ; the belo ved spot which lies not on the welcome lee; and sighs. Ask the classic youth who just free from his Alma Mater, roams over the wide spreading prairies or climbs the mountains of the west, overlooking far reaching vales, and exhausted horizon at ter horizon; ask him if he thinks of home, and he will tell you that each returning evening speaks oft; and as he turns his eyes to the cloud, that tinged by the fare well rays of the departed sun hangs far in the east, and seems in imagination to sleep over the place of his birth, he is in an in stant there. 0 sacred, breathing thought. The soul is lost in a sea of memory : Dwelling, grove, and solemn forest are animated. Scene alter scene, associa tions come rushing upon the mind, and in a moment his past life comes back upon him. Who forgets the parent's last look: the parting kiss—the loved one's tear? The splendid mansion, or lowly cottage-- fertile plain, or barren rock; all are hal lowed as we look back upon them through a vista of years. It may be that the loot. prints of decay are there ; that the village church is crumbling, the walls of that dwelling sinking to ruin ; but wherever the wild grass waves over the graves of our sires, there hone is, there we began to live, there we love to linger. BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT, The following beautiful extract is from Gallagher's liesperian, a monthly publica tion, issued in Cincinnati, Ohio: 'Young womanhood! the sweet moon I,n the horizon's verge; a thought matu red, but not uttered —a conception warm and glowing, yet not embodied—the rich halo which precedes the rising sun— the rosy down that bespeaks the ripening reach—a flower— A flower which is not QUITE a flower,. • Yet is nu more a bud.' Upon this the Sunday News makes the following capital parody: "Young womanhood: molasses touched with a little brimstone—spread on bread not buttered—a being all joints and an gles not tilled out--an unformed fiirm, - deformed by stays--a pallid thing . that loves the ripening peach--a young WO 11Ian— •.\ woman which is not quITE a woman. Yet something more nor •a gal.' "
