I've wandered to the village, Tom, I've eat beneath the tree, Upon the school-house play-ground, which . . Sheltered you and me. But none were there to greet me, Tom, And few were left to know, That played with us upon the green, Some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, Tom; bare• Footed boys at play, Were sporting, just as we did then, With spirits just as gay. But the "Master" sleeps upon the hill, Which, coated o'er with snow, Afforded us a sliding Flocs, just Twenty years ago. The old school-house is altered Some; the benches are replaced By new ones, very like the same our Ten-knives had defaced. But the same old bricks are in the wall, s• 'The hell srrings 'to and fro— It's'muttic's just the same, dear Tom, 'Twos twenty years ago. The boys were pining solve old Game, beneath that same old tree; I do forget the name just now—you've Played the same with me 'On that same spot; 'twas played with Knives, by throwing so and so; The loser bad a task to do—there Twenty years ago.

Could almost reach—, And kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom, I started so, T9,sec how much that I have changed, Since twenty years ago. Near by the spring, upon an elm, You know I cut your name— Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and And you did mine the same. Some heartleas wretch had peeled the Bask; 'twas dying sure but slow, Just as that one, whose name you cut, died Twenty years ago. My lids have long been dry, Tom, but Tears came in my eyes; I thought of her I loved so well—those Early broken ties. I !risked the old church-yard, and took Borne flowers to strew Upon the graves of those we loved, some Twenty years ago. Borne are in the churchyard laid, some Sleep beneath the sea; But few aro left of our old class, excepting You and me. And when our time has come, Tom, and We ere called to go, I hope they'll lay us where we played, Just twenty years ago. THEODORE, On Prayer. Prayer is the peace of our spirit, the stillness of our thoughts, the evenness of recollection, the seat of meditation, the rest of our cares, and the calm of our tempest : prayer is the issue of a quiet mind, of untroubled thoughts, it is the daughter of charity and the sister of meeknee ; and he that prays to Gon will; an angry, that is, With a troubled or dis composed spirit, is like him that retiree into a battle to meditate, and set. his closet in the out quar ters of an army. Anger is a perfect alienation of the mind from prayer, and therefore is contrary to that attention which presents our prayers in a right line to God.. For so have f seen stark rising from his bed of grass, and soaring upwards, singing as I be rises, and hopes to get to heaven, and climb over the clouds ; bnt the poor bird was beaten buck with the loud singings of an eastern wind, and hie mo tion made irregular and unconstant, descending more at every breath of the tempest, than it coubi recover by the vibration and frequent weighing M . hie wings, till the little creature was forced to sit down end pant, and stay till the storm wan over, and then it made a prosperous flight, and did rise end sing as if it had learned music and motion front an angel, as he passed sometimes through the air about his ministries here below ; so is the prayer of a good man. Prayers a•e but the body of the bird; desires aro its angel's wings. 0! isn't the following rich ! Loafers do read it.

Permit me to, illustrate my views of temperate drinking, by relating substantiallyathrilliog.scene which occurred in a town in a neighboring State, while the people were gathered together to discuss the merits of the license question, and decide in formally, Whether meighbors should any longer be permitted to destroy each other by vending Alco holic poisons. No one arose to continue the discussion, and the president of the meeting was about to put the question, when all at once there arose from the corner of the room a miserable female. She was thinly clad and her appearance indicated the 'ut most wretchedness, and that her mortal career was almost closed. After a moment cf silenre, and all eyes being fixed upon her, she stretched her atten uated body to its utmost height, then her long arms to their greatest length, and raising her voice to a shrill pitch she called upon all to look upon her.—" Yes!" site said, "look upon me, and ten hear me. All that the last speaker has said rela tive to temperate drinking. as being the father of all drunkenness, is true.—All practice, all experience declares its truth. All drinking of Alcoholic poi son as a beverage in health, is excess. Look upon me. You all know me, or once did. You all know that I was once the mistress of the best farm in this town. You all know, too, I once had one of the best—the most devoted husbands. You all know I had five noble-hearted industrious boys. Where are they now? Doctor, where are they now? ..You all know.

Dot I saw the gradual change coming over my family and prospects, with dismay and horror; I felt we were all to be ,overWlielmed in one common ruin. I tried to break the spell—the delusive spell—in which the idea of the benefitevof 'temperate drinking had involved my sons; I beg ged, I prayed, but the odds were greatly against me. The priest said the poison that was destroy ing husband and boys, was a creature of God; the deacon who sits under the pulpit there, and ,took our farm to pay the rum bills--sold them the poison; and the physician said that a little wee good, And excess ought M be ,avoided.

From the Pittsburg Americin. The New Orleans papers detail a singular scene as occurring in Supreme Court room of that State on the Bth inst. Judges Martin, Bullard, Morphy and Simon had taken their seats and upon the ap pearance of the other Judge , (12iAl 'Garland) who *as about to take his seat, Judge Martin, with a loud voice and quick manner, exclaimed "the tdurt is adjourned." It seems that rumours had been for some days in circulation, apparently well founded, of some transaction, highly injurious to Judge Garland—of his having coMmitted forgery. Judge G. addressed the audience after this an nouncement, assuring them of his innocence—that he had heard of the report against him and had been endeavoring to trace it to its source and had left all the papers in conneciion with it in the hands of Judge Morgan and S. S. Prentiss Esq. The New Orleans papers do not seem to favor the supposition of Judge Garland's innocence, but all condemn the conduct of the other Judges in thus condemning an associate in high and impor tant trusts, unheard and untried—and upon mere rumour. They shonld have first lodged, they soy, their complaint with the Attorney General. From the l'icayune of the llth s ore learn that examination was had the day previous before Judges Meriden and Cullens of the Parish Court. The guilt of Garland was made manifest. He had used the signature of John McDonough, attached to aome complimentary note from that gentleman, after extracting what preceded ray some chemi cal process and substituted a note for $6OOO, which he sold. Garland has since attempted to commit suicide. A writ has been issued against him for forgery. We behove ho was in Congress from Louisiana in 1830. Lydia 'nano Rterson and Tiiaddens Stevens. Among the new publications of the day is a vol ume of Poems from the pen of LY/lIA Jaye PEI nos, entitled Forest Leaves:! The lady resides on a beautiful ferns, situate in the midst of a dense forest, in one of the Northern counties of Pennsyl vania. From her secluded retreat she sends forth her sweeewarblings with a truthfulness to the licence around her, and to the emotions of the hit man heart, that cermet fail to delight all who take pleasure in the reminiscences of rural scenery of by-gone years. Mrs. Pierson has been distingilish ed, for some years, es p contributor to various mag azines throughout the I.l,nited.States, and it is grat itying.to perceive that Mr. Chandler, of the United States Gazette, and other judges of literature, speak of her new publication in terms of high commenda tion. • . A Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Mirror, in alluding to this volume of Poems and their author, says "There is an interesting story connected with this lady; and as it shows the manner in which she was provided with a home, it may be useful to some of your poetical friends to put them in the way of following la the foot-steps of the_ fortunate authoress. A number of years ago when the best talents of Pennsylvania were called into requisition to establish a system of Common Schools for the general education of the people, Thaddeus Stevens, a distinguished lawyer of the State, made a mas terly speech in the Legislature in favor of educe lion. Judge Ellis Lewis, who is, you know, dis tinguished for his learning and ability as a Jurist, was at the time President of several Literary insti tutions, and was also zealously engaged in promo ting the cause of education by delivering literary and scientific lectures. Abet't this time a power ful production in Poetry, in favor of education made its appearance, and gave a new impetus to the cituee„ Judge Lewis made immediate Inquiry concerning the lady's situation in life, and ascer tained that she had been at one time in good eit leuthstances, but owing ton long illness of her hus band, and a sad train of misfortunes, the fair au thoress, with a large family, Was without a home, and in a state of great pecuniary embarrassment. It is said that he met Mr. Stevens then a rich bach elor, in the ChaMber of the House of 'Representa tives and suggested the propriety of raising . some thing for the relief of so much talent and rlerih. With that true benevolence for which, Mr. S. is diatingoished,le authorized the Judge to purchase a suitable farm, such as the lady herself might se lect, and without any limit with respect to the puce, to draw upon him for the amount. The lady was overwhelnied,vvith astonishment When she re ceived a letter from Judge Lewis, who was only known to her by reputation, apprising her of his commission. She, however, made the selection, I and the Judge made the purchase, ; drew . on Mr. Stevens for the purchase money, end ,forwCrded to Mrs. Pierson the deed driiwit, of cOnrse in the best legal Cur;:, :9 Thaddeus Stevens in trust for the separate use of Lydia ; Jane Pierson and her heirs and assigns. forever. It is butjustiee to all parties to add that Mrs. Pierson was an entire stranger to Judge Lewis and Mr. Stevens. Neither had ever seen her. It is from this woodland retreat of her own selection that she Linda forth her "Forest Leaves" to delight the hearts of all, and particular ly those who see nothing around them but monot onous lines of brick and mortar. May every good poet have tho like good luck. All who wish to learn how to write such poetry as touches the pock. ets as well as the hearts of its readers will do well to purchase a copy of Mrs. Pierson's 'TORE..? Leavas." Luis„ 8-preches. There is truth if not poetry in tho following from the Richmond Vk'hig. It, or something like it should be framed and hung up in, every Legisla tive Hell, and Court House and pulpit iu the Union. The great sin of all, most all American speakers is their desire to hear themselves talk—or the belief that their long speeches made up fur every rlticien cy in mattes and manner. Many of them string out a threo day's speech when every thing neces. nary to their case could have been much better said in less than as many hours "From mensuration, it is certain that Demos thenes never spoke longer than about three quer ters,of an hour.

The Courts are stopped from doing the business of the people, by the horrible garrulity of tho Bar—legislation is sorely impeded by it. "Let us hope, for the sake of Virginia, that in view of the immense business it has to do, if it do the people justice, the Legislature will go to work seriously before Xmas; that done, and long spout ings abolished, the Public %1 ork can be completed, arduous as it is, before the "Starvation" bill as it is called, can come into play." The Potato Disease The disease with which the potatoes aro visited this year, not only in England but in many other countries of Europe, threatens serious consequences to the poor, for whom the potato,rather. . than bread s constitute the "stair of life." In many parts of England potatoes make up two meals of the labor ing man's day. The Burwiek (England) Warder says, ~ w e believe that we shall be doing a reel ser vice by communicating to the farmer and commu nity generally a mode of cure, or rather a . prever.- lion, which has come under our notice. and which hos been applied with the greatest success.. We are indebted for the experiment to Mr. Wro. Gale, builder, of Burbage, in Wiltshire, a county in which the potato is positively the poor man's chief food, end in which, this season, the root has signal ly failed. The medicine employed by Mr. Gale is quick lime. Mr. Gale placed •lirce packs of sound potatoes to a box, the centre of which he filled with several other potatoes in a diseased and decaying condition. The sound ones laying to the right of the decaying, ones he sprinkled oier very carefully with lime. The sound potatoes lying to the left, he left untouched. Furthermore, he took a dis eased potato and pleced a sound ono, on each side of it.—Ae.before, he sprinkled the potato on , the right with lime, upon the other he put. nothing-. The result, in the two cases was the same. The potato sprinkled with lime came out one month after the experiment perfectly sound, while those on the left, without , lime were to a state of decay: This plain remedy is as cheap as it is simple. One gallon of lime will cure a sack of potatees. r. ANcrrirsii Cass.,--A gentleman lately returned from town to the eastward, informs us that the tol -1 lowing process, pursued by J. J. Marshall, Esq., of Guystioro, in dealing with the crop the resent I season, which turned out, partially infected, had proved altogether strecessful. The pctatoes .were spread to the depth ofthroe or four feet, over 'the surface of a bprn floor, and covered with light dry earth to the depth of several inches. In the course of a few days, indications of dampness appeared on the surface, which was immediately sprinkled with quick lime, in a day or two the, earth was again perfectly dry, the sweating of the vegetable had ceased, and when moved had every indication of soundness. The process is simple, and worth a trial.

THE CORN LAWS AND PEACE.. Willmer 4 Smith's Liverpool Times thus ar gues; . In the event of the repeal of the Corn•laws, fn diet corn would, loubtlese, form an important sr . - tide of export from America. It only requires to be known. Indeed, it is hardly posOle to conceive a stronger barrier agaiust war—a more po,wpful incentive to peace—than the destruction of all leg• islative enactments for curtailing the commerce of friendly diuntrica. The planters of. the. Southern States desire peace with England, because they cannot afford to sacrifice a,trade involving two mil lions of bales of cotton aunually. The farmer of the Western States would be equally desirous to let the statesman instead of the soldier settle the dispute about Oregon, provided our laws enabled him to send his produce to so excellent a market ao Great Britian. Commerce is always the soother of angry passions—the oil upon the troubled waters of contending factions. It is upon thi4 ground that, irrespective of his war propensities, a large party of thia.country wish well to Mr. Polk. They dislike his pugnacity, but they are partial. to the President, because he is a free trader, and is deal roue of reducing the tariff from "protection" or prohibition to revenue. A compromise. on the Or egon question—giving, on the part of England, e large slice of territory in exchange for u liberal American tariff--has been put forth by some of the Nei" York papers, and cordially responded to by several of the most influential organs of opinion in this country. Such a mode of settling the dispute would be worthy of two of the moat powerful na tions i^ existence. We notice it here, not so much from a hope tint the stutibornnese of statesmen will carry out ilia suggestion, as because it indicates e desire on the part of those who create and govern Online Opinion in this country, to seize upon any course at all practicable by which the dispute with the United States could be amicably put to rest. PLAIN Sessecixo.--An exchange paper says :. We have often been diverted at a talo of old times in New England--short to be sure, but to the point. It so fell out that two young people became very , much smitten with, each other, as young people sometimes do.

She was really in love—"a state of sigha and tears," which women oftener reach in imagination than in reality. Still the father re mained inexorable. , . • Time paned on, and the rose on Mary's damask clicek passed off. She lot no concealment, like a ' , worm in the bud," prey on that damask, however: but when her father asked her why aloe pined, she always told him. The old gentleman was a wid ower, and loved his daughter dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a wo man's pride never. would have given way before the importunities of a daughter. Men are not, however, so stubborn in such matters, and when the father saw his daughters heart was really set upon the match, he surprlired her one day by break ing out—" Mary, rather than mope to death, thee had better marry as soon as thee chooses, and whom then pleases." And then what did Mary Wait till the buds Of the air had told her swain of the change, or un til her f a ther had time :o altar hia mind again.
