CARPENTiII There are clouds that must o'ershade us, There are griefs that all must know, There are sorrows that have made us Feel the tide of human wo ; But the deepest—darkest sorrow, Though it sere the heart awhile, Hope's cheering rays may borrow From a mother's welcome smile! • There arc clays in youth that greet us With a ray too bright to lost, There are cares of age to greet us, When those sunny days are past; Hut the past scenes hover o'er us, And give back the heart awhile, All that memory can restore us, In a mother's welcome smile! There are scenes mid sunny places On which mem`ry laves to dwel, There are many happy faces Who Ii: ve known Ind loved us well ; But 'mid j.l or.'mid,dejection, * Tere is liothitig can beguile, c4ii Show the f and affection Ufa motherTiOlcome smile! 1/L1C1ZELL.6.7.130170. lORS.IIEIMe GIRL. " They parted as all lovers part, She with her wronged and broken heart; But he rejoicing, he is free, Bounds like the captive frum his chains; And wilfully believing she Huth found her liberty." If there is any act which deserves deep and bitter condemnation, it is that of tri fling with the inestimable gift of woman's affection. The female heart may be com pared to a delicate harp; over which the breathing of early affections wander, until each tender chord is awakened to tones of ineffable sweetness. It is the music of the soul which is thus called forth mu-ac sweeter than the fall of fountains or the song of Howl in the Moslem's Paradise. But wo fur the delicate fashioning of that harp, if a chain pass over the love which first called forth its hidden harmonies.— Let neglect and cold unkindness sweep over its delicate strings, and they break one after another•—slowly, perhaps. but surely. Unvisited and unrequited by the light of love, the soul-like melody will be hushed in the wick u bosom--like the mysterious harmony of the statue, before the coining of the sunrise. I have been wandering among the graves. 1 love at all times to do so. I feel a meiancholy not unallied to pleasure in communicating with the resting place of those who have gone before me—to gu forth alone among the thronged tombstimes; rising from every grassy undulation like ghostly sentinels oldie departed. And when I kneel above the narrow mansion of one whom I have known and loved in life, I feel strange assu rance that the spirit of the sleeper is near the —a viewless and ministering angel. It is beautiful philosophy, which has found its way unsought for and mysteriously into the silence of my heart; mid if it only be a dream—the um cal image of fancy— pray God that I may never awake from the beautiful 'I have been this evening by the grave of EMILY. It is a plain white tombstone, half hidden by the flowers, and you may read its epitaph, in the clear moonlight,. which falls upon it like the smiles of an angel, through the opening in the drooping Winches. Emily was beautiful—the fair est of village maidens. I think I see her now, as she looked when the loved one —the idol of her affections approached with his smile of conscious triumph and love. She had seen but eighteen summers, end her whole being seemed woven of the dream of her first passion. The object of her love was a proud wayward being; whose haughty spirit never relaxed from its ha bitual sternness, save when he found him self lb the presence of the young snit -;23: I 'T ^ler^ .1 44 ' . v„ t . • - , 1 / 4 -$(1, ". 4, rj": 41; . , Ike r• . 4 := A g • ',•• . ;I' , ' •,` ) 4 • beautiful creature, who had trusted her all on the venture of her vow," and who loved with all the eat neatness of a pure and devoted heart. Nature had not de prived his of the advantage of outward grace and beauty ; and it was the abiding consciousness of this, which gaie to his intercourse with society a character of pride and sternness. lle felt himself in sonic degree removed front Its fellow men by a partial fashioning of human na ture; and he scorned to see a near tans ity. His mind was of an exalted bearing, and prodigal of beauty. The flowers of poetry were in his imagination a perpetual blossoming; and it was to this intellec tual bounty that Emily knelt down— hearing to the altar of her idol the flowers of her affection—even as the dark eyed daughters of the ancient Gheber spread out their offerings front the Gardena of the east upon the altar of the sun. . . There is a surpassing strength in a love like that of Emily's—it bath nothing gross, nor low, nor earthly, in itsaspiring It hath its source in the deep fountains of the human hi•art —and is such as this re deenied and sanctified from the earth might feel for one another in the far land of spirits. Alas! that such love should tie unrequit..d, or tut neil back in :oldness or darkness upon the crushed heart of its giver! They parted—Emil, and her lover; out not before they had vowed eternal con stancy to each other. The one retired to the quiet of her home—to dream over again the scenes of her early passion, to count with untiring eagerness the hours of separation ; and to weep over the long in terval of hope deferred." The other , went out with a strong heart to mingle ' with the world, girded with pride and im pelled forward by ambition. He found the world curd, and callous, and selfish: his own spirit insensibly took the hue of those around him. He shut his eves upon the pact; it was too pure and mildly beau tiful tor the sterner gaze of hie manhood. He forgot the passion of his boyhood, all beautiful and lovely as it was; he turned not back to the young and lovely, and devoted irl, wilo had poured out to him, in the confining earnestniii , s of woman's confi dence, the wealth of her affection. lit came riot .back to fulfil the vow which he hail pli thted. :3( 1. and pai , folly the knowledge of h,r lover's infidelity came over the sensi tive heart of Emily. She sought for a trine to shut out the horrible suspicion from her mind. She hall doubted the evi dence of her own senses—she could not believe that he was a traitor—for her mem ory had treasured every token ef offer tint: every impassioned word, and every en dearing smile of his tenderness. But the truth came at last ; the doubtful spectre which had lon_ haunted her, and from which she had turned away, as if it were a sin to look upon it, now stood before her, a dreadful and unescapable vision of reality. There was one burst of passion ate tears, an overflow of the fountain of affliction which quenches the la-t ray of, hope in the desolate bosom ; and she was, calm ; for the struggle was over, and she gazed steadily and with awful confi- I Bence, as one whose hopes are not o( earth, upon the dark valley of death, whose shadow was around her. It was a beautiful evening of summer, that I saw her for the last time. The sun was just setting behind a long line of beau tiful and undulating hills, touching their tall summits with a radiance like the haloi which circles the dazzling brow of an an- , gel—and alt nature had put on the garni tare of greenness and blossom. As t ap proached the quiet and secluded dwelling of the once happy Emily, I found the door of the little parlor thrown open, and a fe male voice or sweetness which could hardly belong to earth, stole out upon the sommee air. It was the -breathing of an :Mohan lute to the gentlest visitation of the zephyr. Inviduntarily 1 paused to listen—and these words—l never shall forget them—came upon my ear like the low melancholy music which we sometimes hear in dreams: "On—no I do not fear t.► die, For hope and faith are bold; /it'd life is hut a w,:ariness— And earth is strangely cold— In t iew of death's pale satude My spirit h th not mourned— 'Tis kinder than forgotten love. Or friendship unrestrained! And could I pass the shadowed land In rapture all the while -1 If one who is now far away Were nertr me with a !urine. It seems a dreary Wog to dit Forgotten and alone— ' Unheeded by our dearest love— The smiles and tears of one! Oh! plant my grave with pleasant flowers, The fairest of the fair— The very flowers he loved to twine At twilight in my hair— Perchance he may visit them, And hhecl above my bier The holiest dew of funeral flowers— Affections kindest tear!" 1► was the vice of Emily--it WaA her "ONE COUNTRY,: ONE CONSTITUIIION, ONE DESTINY." HUNTINGDON, PENNSYLVANIA;-.TUESDAY,OCTOI3ER ii, 1842 last song. She was leaning on the sofa as I entered the apartment—her thin white , hand resting on her Nrehead. She arose! and welcomed me with a melancholy I smile. It played over her features for a moment, flushed tier cheek with a slight and sudden glow—and then passed away, leaving in its stead the wittiness and mournful beauty , of the dying. It bath been said that death is terrible to look upon. But to the stricken Emily the presence of the destroyer was like the ministration of au angel of light and holi• ness. She was passit.g off to the land of spirits like the meeting of a sudded cloud in the blue sky of !leaven. Stealing from existence like the last strain of ocean music when it dies away slowly and sweet ly Upon the moon• lit waters. A few days after, I stood by the grave of Emily. The villagers had gathered together one and till to pay the last trib, toe of respect and affection to, the lovely sleeper. They mourned her 'fist; with a deep, sincere lamentation (fiat one so yonng and lovely should yield herself up to melancholy, and perish in the spring time of her existence. But they knew not the hidden arrow that rankled in her bo som—the slow withering of the heart.— She had borne the calamity in silence—in the uitcomplaining quietude of one who fdt that th;:N are wows which may nut for .ymthy Ar afflictions which, like the canker enticel*d in the heart of ~o me fair blos , utti are discovered only by the untimelY decay of 01,4 victim. Autumn. W e ore now in the autumn of the year ' —the season II . olden hues and lading verdure. Nature's chill breath is imper. ceptibly passing overleaf, plant, and flow er, and imputing to them all the tincture of approaching decay. The green carpet' of creation is being superseded by one of ' yellow or more motley color, and all around and about us tells of the perishable nature of things. It is a season pregnant %lid' reflection, fur it admonishes us that decay is an inherent principle of Nature. .It bids those of us who have not yet entered the " sear and yellow leaf" of tri:Pre, pare ourselves for that periorloWnitiba.nd our resources fur it, as the farmer does his harvest gathering, that we may look back on life's summer with a quiet glow of sat isfaction, such as an autumnal evening's sun imparts to a landscape. To those who have already passed the rubicon of middle life, it tells us that the advent of file's winter is last approaching. Like an index to some particular passage of a book, it points to the termination of liP. O O journey —to death and to the grave: Autumn is a chaste and gentle season ; it has not the cold frigidity of winter about it; it has not the empietry of spring, nor the fire and passion of summer. Like true friendship, it brings a soothing balm to the mind, without operating in fiery ac tion on the passions. Its winds are mild as a mother's voice ; its suns shine on the world calmly as a father smiles on his be. loved family. We would that an autumn breeze should sing our requiem—we seek no sweeter music:—Picayune. If there is any one among us who needs prweeting—that is, ,t ho need a mo ney to procure his daily bread—the pau per laws are open to hiird" In this shameful sneer (ruin a Locofuco address, recently put forth in Ohio, we have a volume of comment upon that par ty's pretension to democracy and friend ship to the poor. On all occasions, and to all places, but with 'note blustering pro fessions on the eve of elections, we find them pleading to the poor, but nowhere and at no time have they ever been found pleading for them. Affecting love for all, they show pity for none, and flatter only to deceive. Where is the law, the meas ure, the institution, founded by lascofoco ism for the benefit of the pour? Who can !mint to a solitary act ever achieved by tlni; clamorous spirit to feed the hungry or clothe the naked I Echo answers, who? But this is not the worst evidence of the hypocrisy of its pretensions. It not only does nothing itself for the p: or, but with a species of fiendish malignity blackens the motives of those who do. If they can. nut close the hand of the giver, they would at least embitter the gilt in the mouth cf the receivers. Hence their never-fsiling, bitter, anti rancorous opposition to any and every measure, no matter what, devi sed by the V bugs to diffuse the means of' uniieNal prosperity and happiness. When the %%lugs show an noxious desire to de. v ale a ll c la.oses of men to an equality of. privilege and enjoyment, and adopt a poi-' icy to aflisrd honorable and remunerating employment to all, thereby enabling every' titan to maintain his family and train his children for higher bles4ogs and enjoy moots, these men, who so rolane the name of democracy, sneeringly turn sport us with the insolent taunt that the pauper lows are open to them! Shocking us the ivitiowt. to, nothing mere than have been expected from a party whose wjole career is a history of grasping, heartless ambition, and whose animating battle-cry is , . the spoils of victory:" And there is enough in the melancholy history of its ceeasional triumphs to rouse every friend of the country into active exertion 1 whOnever and wherever its all, vements are `neon. Therefore it is that 4111 scope I should be given to the warm, • vehement, ,unsuborned feelings of the heart, whenev er we approach those schemes of profligate ambition which threaten the social and political order of the nation, and which i i awaken terror while they k: r,fle indigna• than in the mind o eve'i fleeting man in it.-IYetnark Daily eraser. • Sale of Sl i tl to gitig to c't • • The Seciary of the Commonwealth . 11114 aclyertisod that in foaetlience to the . .

Among the mass Stocks thus to be disposed of is some o the most productive property of the Commonwealth, while others are either wholly valueless or their capacity to yield a profit has not been de• veloped. The whole scheme is a specu lation, and was got up with that object.— It is only another plan of the Loco Foco Party to plunder the Commonwe a lth.— Every man of co mmon sense knows that this is no time to sell Stocks to advantage. Many corporations to which the State is concerned have suffered under the disad vantages of the times—others are just be gintrig to recover, as in the case of some of the Philadelphia Batiks, and at any rate money is so scarce and confidence in Stocks so low, that few bona fide biddet s will come forward.

The Whigs made every effort to prevent this wanton waste of the public property, but party and greedy borers were tot. strong for them, and the Loco For vs succeeded in at the same time fastening a DOUBLE TAX on the People, and ,;iving away the desirable possessions of the State to their partizans for a mere song.

OSAGE WHEAT.- A letter in the Pitts burg Chronicle speaks of a very valuable kind of wheat called Osage, or many-head• ed %%heat, originally procured from the Osage Indians. Mr. Kelly, a practical farmer of Jackson county, Ohia, has had 'such experience of its hardy and prolific qualities that he thinks it will yield two hundred bushels to the acre. From fitly to eighty heads have sprung up from a single grain which he planted, each head containing from one hundred to one hund red and severity seeds.
