The moon within our casement beams, Our blue eyed babe bath dropt to sleep, And I have left it to its &cabs, Amid the shadows deep, To muse beside tho silver tide Whose waves aro rippling at thy aide. It is a still and lovely spot Where they have laid thee down to rest; The white rose and forget-me-not Bloom sweetly on thy breast, And birds, and streams with liquid lull Have made the stillness beautiful. And softly through the forest•bars Light lovely shapes, on glossy plumes, Float ever in, like winged stars, Amid the purpling glooms ; Their sweet songs borne from tree to tree, Thrill the light leaves with melody. Alas! the very path I trace, In happier hours thy footsteps made; This spot was once thy resting. place, Within the silent shade, Thy white hand trained the fragrant bough That drops its blossoms o'er mo now. 'Twos hero at eve we used to rove, 'Twos hero I breathed my whisper'd vows, And sealed them on thy lips, my love, Beneath the apple-boughs. Our hearts had melted into one, But Death undid what love had done. Alas! too deep a weight of thought Had filled thy heart in youth's sweet hour; It seemed watt love and bliss o'erfraught, As fleeting passion-flower Unfoltling 'math a southern sky, To blossom soon, and soon to die. Yet in these calm and blooming bowers I seem to see thee still, Thy breath seems floating over the flowere t Thy whisper on the hill ; Tho clear, faint starlight, and the sea Are whispering to my heart of thee. No more thy smiles my heart rejoice— Yet still I start to meet thine eye, And call upon the low sweet voice That gives me no reply— And list within my silent door For the light feet that come no more. MiaICaLLIL.NMOTTEI. "Not a drop mon o Major, unless it's Sweeten'd." In a small village, in the southern see ten of our State, resides n certain Major, who keeps a small, cosey, comfortable lit tle Inn, famous for its aweeten'd drinks, as• well as jovial landlord; and few of the surrounding farmers visit the neighbor hood, without giving the Major a friendly call.to taste his snixtne. The gay host, with jolly phiz, round person, bright eye, and military aid, deals out the rations spiced with jokes, which, it they are not funny, are at least, laughed at, for the Major enjoys them so vastly himself, that his auditors are forced to laugh out of pure sympathy. A good old couple, who resided about six miles from the Major's, for a long pe. riod had been in the habit of visiting him once a mouth, and as regularly went home dreadfully etsecten'd with the favor ite tnixtur', but of late, we learn, the amiable relations existing between the Major and his old visitors have been bro ken elf by green-eyed jealousy. On the last visit, good cause was given for an end being put to any more "sweet drinking," " Uncle Merril, how are you any how," was the Major's greeting, "and I declare if the Missus aint with you, too,"—just as if he expected she wouldn't come.— " What'll you take Ivlissus 7 shall I sweet• en you a little of about the best Cincinna ti rectified that ever was toted into these 'ere parts 7—it just looks as bright as your eyes !" and here the Major winked and looked so sweet there was no resist ing, and she did take a little sweeten'd, and more, after a very brief period, she commenced repeating.

At length he broke out with-- " Old w oman, you and that 'ere Major's conduct, to-day, was raNther unbecomin' —his formalittes was too sweet to be mistook, and you ain't goin' thar agin in a hutry." "Silence" was the only answer. "Oh, you're huffy, are you ?" continu ed the old man. " Well, i guess you can stay so, till you give in"—and on he jog ged, in a silently jealous mood. On arri ving at the farm, he called to a negro to lift the old lady off, but Sam, the nigger, stood gazing at him in silent astonish ment. " Lift her oft; you Sam, do you hear ? --and do it carefully, nr some of her wrath'll bile out. In spite of the Major's sweetnin' she's mad as thunder."

Every thing is done in a hurry in this world therefore get married as quickly as poss ible. Husbands are like birds, if you don't bring them-down at once, they are on. Love is an idea; beef is a reality.— The idea you can get along without; the beef you must have. Do not then allow any refined sentimentalism to interfere with what judicious and calculating pa . rents call an advantageous settlement. Young girls will have twinges of the heartstrings we know, but these are like other complaints incidental to youth, they go away suddenly without any bad effects. Dyspepsia often produces mel ancholy, which is attributed to disappoin ted affection, but bran bread and apple sauce will speedily remove this com plaint. Some girls have imaginations so tender that they believe themselvse in love with every man who says a civil word to them. These unfortunate creatures should take the shower bath every morning, and take frequent exercise on horseback. Romance should be confined to circu lating Libraries and boarding schools; it is well enough in these places, but out of them it is sadly out of the way. It is very apt to take bread and butter out of one's mouth, and it is a curious fact in " physics," that though love causes the heart to swell, it never fills an empty stomach.

This ton, was obeyed, when the first order was repeated, following by the other in the same terms—and this con tinued until things began to grow serious, and the poor steward commenced turning very red and perspiring with vexation.— At this moment a gentleman, who had been a quiet observer of the scene, cried out in a loud voice: —",Steward, why don't you, wait upon the ladies?

THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL "One country, one constitution, one destiny." ~~~C~~~,~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Wednesday morning, Nov. 27, 144. Q :1- V. B. PALMER, Esq. (No. 59, Pine street below Third, Philadelphia,) is authorized to act as Agentfrr this paper, to procure subscriptions and advertisements. A. Sign of the Times. It is said that corning events cast their shadows before. The following extract from the speech of the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, delivered at the great Whig meeting in Fanueil Hall, on the Bth inst., is indicative of what now agitates strong . ly the public mind : * * 1 say that, in my mind, there is great necessity for a thorough reforma tion of the naturalization laws. (Cheers, loud and long continued.) The result of the recent elections, in several of the States, have impressed my mind with one deep and strong conviction : that is, that there is an imperative necessity for reform ing the naturaiizalion laws of the United States. The preservation of the govern inent, and consequently the interests of parties, in my opinion, clearly and strong ly demand this. All are willing and de. sirous, that the blessings of a free govern ment should be open to the enjoyment of the worthy and industrious from ali coun tries, who may come hither for the pur pose of bettering their circumstances, by the successful employment of their own capital, enterprise or labor. But is it unreasonable that the elective franchise should not be exercised by a person of foreign birth, until after such a length of residence strong us, that he may. be sup posed to have become, in some good mea sure, acquainted with our constitution and laws, our social institutions, and the gen eral interests of the country ; and to have become en American in feeling, principle, character and sympathy, as well as by having established his domicil among us Those already. naturalized have, of course, their rights secured ; but I can conceive no reasonable objection to a dif ferent provision in regard to future cases. It is absolutely necessary also, in my judgment, to provide new securities against the abominable frauds, the ontra genus, flagrant perjuries which are noto riously perpetrated in all the great cities. There is not the slightest doubt "Lthat in numerous cases, difTeren/ persons vote on the strength of the ese set of naturali zation papers ; there is as little doubt that immense trombers of such papers are ob tained by direct perjury, and that e lhese enormors oflitoces multiply and,,strength en thentsclvcs beyond all pottier cf pun ichment and restraint by existing provis. ions. I believe that ii is an unquestionable fact that masters of vessels,having broaght over emigrants from Europe, have, within thirty days of their: arrival, seen those very persons carried up to the polls, and give thellvotes fur the highest officer in the National and State governments.— Suds voters, of course, exercise no intel ligence, and, indeed, no volition of their own. They can know nothing either of the questions at issue or of the candidates proposed. They are mere instruments, used by wicked and unprincipled men arid made competent instruments only by the accumulation of crime upon crime. Now, it seems to me impossible that every hon est man, and every good citizen, every true lover of liberty and the constitution, every real friend of the country, would not desire to ste an end put to these enor mous abuses. I avow it, therefore, as my opinion, that it is the duty of us all to endeavor to bring about an efficient refor 'nation of the naturalization laws of the I.7„p; . ted - Stttea. I am well aware, gentlemen, that these sentiments may be misrepresented, and probably will be, in order to excite preju dice in the minds of foreign residents.— Should such misrepresentations be made or attempted, I must trust my friends to correct it, and expose it.—For the senti ments themselves, I am ready to take, myseif, the responsibility. And I will only add, that what I have now sugested is just as important to the rights of for eigners, regularly and fairly naturalized among us, as it is to the rights of native born American citizens. (The whole assembly here united in giving twenty-six tremendous cheers.) The present condition of the country imperatively demands this change. The interest, the real welfare of all partiu, the honor of the nation, all require that subordinate and different party questions should be made to yield to this great end. And no man who esteems the prosperity and existence of his country, as of more importance than a fleeting party ttiumph, will, or can, hesitate to give in his adher ence to these principles. (Nine cheers.) The Result fin Now 'Work. The New York Express thus eloquently and forcibly accounts for the triumph of James K. Polk and the Anti-American party in that State. The Editor says :-- The State of New York has given her electoral vote to James K. Polk, and that electoral vote. if he is elected,' has given him the office of President of the United States. We need not say that we record this result with no satis faction, for we regard it as a calamity to the people of the country, and en especial affliction to all its business prospects.— The result indeed, in this State, is more than a public affliction. It disgraces us in our own eyes and before the whole people. We know not upon whom to cast the blame for such a result, except, upon our opponents, and some thousands of Abolitionists—the latter of whom could have prevented the election of James K. Polk. They have chosen; with some hon orable exceptions however, and in the ex ercise of an undoubted right, to give their influence entirely to the election of a man 1 hostile to all their views, and nominated and now elected by southern votes and Texas influence. If they can reconcile their conduct with their principles, be it so. We have no animadversions to cast upon them beyond the result to which they have contributed, and which they must in their hearts deplore. They could have prevented the evil, and so could the Whig party in spite of them but for the FRAUDS of their opponents. To this result, then, we must come at I last : That frooduleall'oreign votes have given the electoral vote of the State of blew York to James K. Polk, and that the s o me &civil perpetrated elsewhere has given him a ranfority of the electoral votes of the country. Our enemies cannot con. ceal this fact. It is beyond disguise.— It is seen in the vote of St. Lawrence and Jefferson. It is seen along , t)le river counties, and .everywhere wherdthere been foreign material to make vcitersi.ot. Most melancholy of all, it•has been seen in many of our public courts, wher4ilvith indecent haste, and in the indulgence of a proscriptive spirit against the Whigs, there has been the mcnifestation of a great partiality for sympathizers in politics, and where justice has lon trampled under foot. What havilghr courts of:lo.w to do with •Politict ?" 'What !let have our :adzes to bring their parity predilections upon the Bench 7 Is this the price of the places they received, and is justice thus to be edged up with party strifes, scrambles for ofhce;and the schemes of . political sportsmen to defraud the People of their rights 7 FROM NINE TO TEN TI100• SAND CITIZENS WERE MADE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORE, WI7O NEVER VOTED DEFORE TEE ELECTION ON TUESDAY LAST. More foreigners were made citizens by thou sands than the m*rity given to Mr. Polk,--and the worst feature of all has been, as we had abundaht testimony du ring the process of naturalization, that PERJURY had as much influence in the manufacture of foreign voters, as the truth itself. What is true of New York city, is true of the counties that give the g , Tatest .I.,eufece gains in the cntreme parts of the State, and what is true of the State, is true of the Union. The victory of the Lecofocos is not that of Am - tumor:B s but a triumph of littsnmErt and Gnummis over AMERICANS. They proclaimed boldly before the; elec tion, "Americans shan't rule vs,"—and they have kept their word. We live to see the day when more than the balance of power is in the hands of those who are neither bone of our bone nor flesh of our flesh,--of men who have no love for the country in which they live,—no true at tachment for the Institutions which have given them a home better than their own,—no sympathy for what is American. The stripes upon our Sag are emblems of the scourges America has received front the banded aliens in our midst, who pro claim aloud—" Americans shan't rule Its !" The Result in Pennsylvanla. It will be seen by referring to our elec . tion table that Pennsylvania whose great interests depend altogether upon the maintainence of the present Tariff, has cast her electoral vote for Polk & Dallas —Free Trade, Texas, Slavery, Land Robbery and War. Thus, in the lan guage of a contemporary,has " poor Penn sylvania, like the blind ABB, in the fable. been made to bear the burden of her own degredation. She has voted against the gallant HENRY CLAY, the great advo cate of her cherished policy, whose voice has always been heard in favor of her own interests, and she has been led ignomin iously to her own destruction, by the ly ing, fiendlike demagogues, who are the despised instruments that Southerners use, and then throw away. The cities of Pittsburg and Philadel phis, and the counties of Philadelphia, Huntingdon, and Allegheny, and the no ble German counties of Somerset, Lan caster, Dauphin, Lebanon and Union, have given majorities for Clay worthy of their intelligence; while the Coal and Iron counties of Luzerne, Columbia, Cen tre, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Berke and Carbon, have forfeited all claims to National protection for their Coal and Iron, by voting for their enemy, JAMES KNOX POLK. To the Wool growing counties, Washington, Fayette and Green, we recommend the sentiment of Mr. Polk If 00l ought to be duty FREE." Poor Pennsylvania, she is the scorn and derision of the whole Union. latelligencer. \..v•-taaczDaclD. .2.73(1). IT is DONE!

One of the most remar k able rocks 0 , which we have any knowledge, has bee; lately discovered in the middle of ti c great inland Sea, Lake Superior. By gentleman who has recently returned i,‘ this city from Copper Harbor, we lean that a shaft of Trappe rock has very latt• ly been discovered, rising in the lake frci • 150 to 200 miles from land, and ascent' ing above the surface of the water, a di! tance of not above four feet. What ren• ders it more extraordinary is,that it stands clone, and all around it so far as exami• nations have been made, no bottom has been reached by any of the lead lines used on the lake, and the point of the rock itself does not exceed an area of more than six or seven feet square, and so far as observations of it have extended, it does not appear to enlarge in size as it descends, It has already, he states, be come a source of alarm to the mariners who navigate the lake, who take special care in passing to give it as wide a berth as possible. It is too email—too remote and dangerous to admit of a light, and thei store its removal has become a matter of serious importance, and will doubtless pertain to the duty of government. A single blast of sufficient depth would probably do it, but the surface of the rock being so near that of the water, and the space so narrow as to forbid any regular lodgment for workmen, they would have to be attended constantly by a vessel of sufficient size to resist any sudden storm of the lake, and would also have to be kept constantly under way, as no harbor or even bottom for an anchor is within a days sail. •The discoverers relate that the rock ap pears to be a place of general resort for the Salmon Trout of those lakes, as they found them there in almost incalculahle numbers, having, during their short stay, caught several barrels with no other in strument than avid of iron, on ono end of which they turned a hook. They trier' with all their lines on board, for sound ings immediately around the rock, bi, without success. Such a vast colunii could it be exposed to view, would laual into ridicule Cleopatra's needle,Pompe, , " pillar, the colossus of Rhodes or any le duction of ancient or modern art. IFiNabarg Amerioan,
