TUNE—" Lord Lore." A Raven he ant in a Farmer's porch, Watching with curious oyes, The farmer's wife as she stood by her oven, Baking her bread and her pies, The weather was warm, and she pulled off her cap And hanging it up on a bush, She went in the house to rock the cradle, Her dear little baby to hush. The raven peeped round him on every side, And finding no one on the watch, Ho flew with the cap to an old oak tree And hid it away in the crotch:— Then quietly returning again to the porch, To be thought quite an innocent chap, He tucked his old head partly under his wing, Like a hen when she is taking a nap. When the dame came back and discovered her loss She felt almost ready to cry, And declared if the raven had stolen her cap, The old villian should certainly die:— For though he appeared to be in a nice doze, Overcome by the beat of the day— She could'ut help thinking he knew how that cap Had so suddently vanished away. It was noon and the farmer came in from his plough To whom his affectionate wife Said 'John you must certaintly kill that old bird, 'Or I'll have no more peace of my life. He kills my young ducks and hides my best spoons 'Worse than any old magpie or crow; And besides I feel sure he has stolen my cap, 'Which I left here ten minutes ago.' 'Well 1 well !' said the farmer, 'if that be the case, 'I must wring the neck off the old sinner. 'But now I am hungry—so come in the house, And we'll look for your cap after dinner. 'Then if it's not found, I give you my word, That he never shall hide any other— 'For though he has long been a favorite bird, 'He shall die without any more bother.' Now whether the bird understood what they said, I shall neither affirm nor deny; But while they were dining he bro't back the cap And dropt it on top of a pie Then with a loud croak he soared leagues away, Far, far over mountain and plain— Tho' he never before left the farm for a day; Yet for weeks lie returned not again. The farmer laughed loud when ho saw the lost cap, So snugly laid up on the pie— And cried to his wife, 'sure the wind blew it there So my raven for this musn't die !' The neighbors all thought it a very queer thing, That the old bird bad taken his flight, But the farmer's wife said, he would never have fled If he hadn't done something not right. Though no moral we find in this tale of a bird, Yet remember, when trying a shiner, You must never determine to wring off his head, Until after you've eaten your dinner. ReAsoN FOU PILAYING.—A little girl about four years of age, being asked: " Why do you prey to God!" " Because I know he hears me, and I love to pray to him," she replied.

Phi/mb./p/iin Erinina Th Vain, THE END OF IIIiNGARN. • , NatiOns, liko individuals, have their youth, their manhood, and their old age; anti so, too, have races of men; We do not know a more striking instance-of this truism than hi presented in the history of the Hnngarittits. The Magyars wdre Originally an Asiatic tribe, and from a breach of the Finnic race, ns is preyed by their physical characteristics, not less thitn by their language. They first appeared in Europe at the beginning of the ninth century. Ca reer, until the fury of the onset was spent, wait one of incessant victory. Armed with bows end arrows, and mounted on fleet horses, they. were invincible by any force that Europe could muster. They swept up the Danube like a destroying whirlwind, until their territories extended .fmrk far below Belgrade to fitr above Vienna, so that not only what is now Hungary, but vast territo ries contiguous to it, owned their sway. From . this central scat of power, they soon spread their ravages on every side. They invaded Italy and thundered at the gates of Rome; they even car ried their war-cry into the heart of France. For nearly two centuries, the Magyars were to Wes-. tern Europe what the Turks subsequently became, a race as hated as they were feared, a nation of warriors whom nothing could oppose. But the horsemen whom the feudal chivalry of France and Germany could trot resist, Christiani ty finally subdued. The first Magyars were hea thens. They hated the Franks as men of a hostile race, but they bated them worse as believers in a different religion. When, however; holy mission tidies, disregarding the perils that would cnviron them in the midst of savage heathens, penetrated into Hungary and preached in the tumultuous camps of the wild conquerors the peaceful doct rines of the Gospel, a mighty change took place. The whole nation waS, as it were converted in a day. A single generation saw the Hungarians transformed from Pagans into Christians. With this great change, came morn peaceful habits.— The Magyars no longer warred on Western Eu rope with religious fanaticism as before, but rather sought to he on terms of entity with them and to imitate the arts of pence. Gradually, returning, therefore, within the boundaries of their central kingdom, they confined themselves to the greet plains of Hungary and to the contiguous territo ries. Their princes began to intermarry with the princes of Western Europe; the people assutu ed more or less of the habits of civilization, and Hungary became, by the sanction of a neighbor ing potentate, au acknowledged Clu•istitut king dom. Thus has passed the first period of the Magyar race, that of its fiery, impetuous , and collossal youth. About A. I). 1000, it entered on the se, cond term of its existence. A robust, yet tem pered manhood was its destiny for five hundred years sueeeding. During this epoch it ssas the great bulwark of Europe against Saracen and Turkish invasion. Occasionally, indeed, the Hun garians warred otstheir Christian brethren; and more than once they allied themselves for a peri od, and in self-defence, to the Ottoman hordes; but, in the main, they were true to the cause of Christian Europe, and the chief instruments in repelling the assaults of Moslem fanaticism. Like a mighty breakwater, thrown forward to meet the first fury of the tempest, they withstood, for cen turies, the war of the advancing "surges and the dash of the ang,ry tide. Their gallantry in the field, was only equalled by their sturdy indepen at home. Inheriting from their ancestors a sort of rude constitutional monarchy, under which else people elected all the minor officers of the State, they maintained these privileges when absolute ism reigned 'everywhere else on the continent, and when England - alone shared with Hungary the benefits of real liberty. Evens the' fatal edict, by which the diet' • invited the house of Hapsburg to occupy the meant ! throne, dates else decline of the onee mighty Ma gyars. Since that period, their territories have been narrowed almost constantly. The sins of the Austrian monarch had been to destroy the national feeling's, and strip the people of their an cestral rights ; and this base scheme has been per sisted in, regardless of the heroic sacrifices made by the Hungarians, on frequent occasions, to save the Empire. In a measure, the treacherous plot has succeeded. The Delilah that the' Magyars took in has shorts them secretly of theifstrongtli, and has, in our day, delivered them over toll*, hatred of the autocrat, the true Philistineof rope. Their national independence has sunk auto a mere shadow since the las4stal war. Kossuth and a few other sanguine patriots may still hope fur the rostiscitation of this gallant people ; but we fear their dotal', like that of the noble Poles, is sealed, and that the time of their extinction aPproaches. Their old age is at hand, if not al-. ready come. In a century or two, at the utmost, they will probably be lost sight of, in surrounding population. Such is else fate of nations.

To Our Delingilent Subscrbers. The following from the tiverpOol Mail discloses an important filet, and nu person can deny that this new test dwillingness - of debtors to pay is based upon common Sense: We were not aware until recently that the bOoks of newspaper publishers are consulted to quite a large extent by people in business to ascertain the peculiar standing of persons. Debts for newspa pers become due once a year, and persons who pay up regularly once a year for their papers are con sidered as prompt nice, and worthy of confidence. We hail a person come into our office, the other day, and ak, ." Do. you scud the paper now to Mr.-7" We yeplied that lyódot. " Well," said the nice, "lie owes Inc and I can't get it ; I don't think he's good." We looked secretly ailds'account, and found him paid' up. 'We then replied to the inquirerH "That man is good. Your debt is safe. He may have forgotten it, or something else may have pre vented his miying, but be is goodi. The man's eyes brightened. Said lie, "I have written to Severalprintersottal Aliuldnot find where he took a paper. I thought ofyou and said 1 would come here," said he again, after a pause. "This is the way to find out whether people are good.— We ascertain what papers they take, 'tad cuntrlve some way to peep into their accounts. Alen wb.o are good are sure to pay for their news-papers; and if they do not pay for these, we don't think them good."

I knew a gentle girl whose eye was bright with the light of her kind heart, and whose lips were wreathed with the smile of happiness. The flow ers of spring are fair, but she was as fair as they. Kind friends rejoiced in the sunlight of her pres ence, and her voice like some sweet bird of melo dy, filled the oar with untold delight. Yet while the sun of hope shone with beauty, she was called to depart from this world'of sorrow, where she had spent so many hours of pleasure and of pain. She had gone like some transient cloud, whirls a rude blast haS swept over, and it had gone forev er. Friends who had delighted in her prosperity in life, nowlooked on that cold forte still benuti fulin death,, for the last time. ' She was home to the grave and laid in the narrow house where all must one day he laid. A plain headstone alone marked the grave in which slumbered what was once the beautiful form of a gentle girl. And who would not thus die? Who would re main in the cold world, till disappointment had blasted all their hopes? Surely the fate of the Early Deal is a blessed Otte, They have gusto to the heron of eternal rest, where disappointment andsofruw can never enter, and the rude bawl of time can make no impression. It is a sad thing for young persons to think of death, to think that timy , ,iptistoke,4ll,4l . tlicir iflousures and enjoy nients of ,this worbl; not thinking what pleasures there arc in the ue:tt, or what unalloyed happiness is in reserve for the pure beyond the grove. A Little "Out,' Horace Walpole tells the following queer story of an absent-minded parson, which is good us any thing in La Bruyere A clergyman at - Oxford, who was very nervous and absent-minded, going to mad prayers at St. Mary's, heard a showman in the lligh Street, who had an exhibition of wild beasts, repeat very often, "Walk iu without loss of time. All alive alive, ho I" The sounds struck the absent man, and ran in Ills bead se 'much, that when he began to road the.serviee, antLeame to the words in the first verse, "and doeth that which is lawful and right he shall save his soul alive," he cried out with. a louder voice, "Shall save his soul alive!

Tun STAGE.-11orace Greeley says that the stage is a bygone atrair--.-that the newspaper, the lyceum and the public meeting have supplanted it. It is now no longer a power, a former of opin ions, or a rttler of the multitude. Col. Ethan Allen. This brave and somewhat eccentric officer , of the American . Revolution, was . born in Roxbury, Ct., in 1739: .11e curly emigratetl to Vermont.— On receiving the news of the.battle of Lexington, he enlisted all his energies on the side of hiseonn try. Ills first exploit was the capture of Ticon deroga May lath, 1775. .The expedition against this post was.exeeedingly bold in its design, and successful in its execution. the bead of only , eight - -three men he entered the fort at night, 1 - tool; the sentry prisoner, and with a drawn sword, made Ins way to the apartments of the comman ding officer, and demanded the surrender of the. fist. "By what authority do you demand it? ex claimed captain Do La Plate, starting from his slumber. "In the name of the Great Johorah and the Continental Congress," thundered This was authority too high to he resisted and the fort was instantly surrendered, with the muni tions of war. Col. Allen was taken prisoner in an expedition against the Canadians, while attempting to capture Montreal, in connection with Col. Brown. ' lle was loaded with chains and sent to England, where he was imprisoned a short time, and at 'length taken back to his country and exchanged for Col. Campbell, a British officer, who had been taken prisoner by the Americans. Ho died at Colchester, Vt., Feb., 12th, 1789. An instance is related of Ethan Allen, that is said to have occurred while he was on Isis way to England. While closely confined to his room, he discovered one day that a small pin or wire that fastened one of his hand-cuffs was broken. Ex tricating the pieces with his teeth, ho was enabled so to loosen the bolt that it also was soon with drawn, and one hand was set at liberty; he then proceeded to release the other and was successful. This having been accomplished, he was not long in liberating his feet. Fencing, however, lest the captain should discover his situation, and contract the 'arcs of his freedom,' he carefully replaced the bolts and pins before the arrival of his keeper.— In a short time it became a. flee recreation for the Col. to take off and put on his chains at pleasure. ,• One day the Captain wishing to afford some merriment to the crew, commanded Allen to be brought upon deck. Ilopeing to frighten him, the Captain said "..here is a probability that the ship will foun de,.---tr eo, -what -will become of us, especially you, Mr. Allen, a rebel against the king?" " Why," said Allen, "that would be very much like our dinner hour. "How soh" said the captain, now reflecting that Allen was only allowed to come on deck while he Himself went down into his cabin to dine. "Well, you see," answered Allen," I'd be on my way up just as you'would be going below.' The captain was, not at ull pleased with this re ply and commenced a regular triads of abuse against flit: American people. "In a short time," said the captain, "all the rebels will be in the same situation as yourself." This was too much for Allen, and he determin ed to apply his newly acquired dexterity in unloos ing his fetters to some purpose. Quickly raising his hands to his mouth, ho apparently snapped as sunder the pins and bolts and hurling his hand clink and fetters overboard—seized the astonished captain by the collar, and threw him headlong upon the deck, then turning to the affrighted crew, he exclaimed in a voice of thunder: "If I urn insulted again during the voyage, I'll sink the ship and swim ashore." This exploit so terrified the captain and crew, that Allen was allowed to do pretty much as he pleased the remainder of the passage. Question for Debating Societies. Suppose live men owned a piece of land, hav ing a portion of it set apart for patronage in com mon, but each having a piece reserved for his own use to till. One man owned a horse, another a dog, another a flock of geese, another two goats, and another had his piece of hind in meadow.— The goats yoked together were trespassing on the meadow. The horse was standing on the com mon adjoining the meadow, at the foot of a high bank on top of which were the goats. The dog was sitting on the mad. The flock of geese were pausing by with the gander at their head, and in order to drive away the dog, to snake room for his flock, hissed at him. The dog, mistaking it for a human voice ran nt the goats, who being fright ened, flail, and as they leaped off the . bank, jump ed one on each side of the horse standing below, and them hung by the yoke. The horse taking fright, ran away with "the goats on his back into a pond of water, and drowned both himself and the goats. The owner of the horse sued the owner of the goats for riding his horse into the pond of! water; tho owner of the goats sued the owner of the dog for frightening his goats ; and the owner of the dug sued the owner of else geese ; the owner of the goats sued the owner of the horse for drowning his goats; and the owner of thin mead ow sued the owner of the goats for trespass. Who of the persons are entitled to a verdict? Portrait of a Cow. We laughed "consumedly" a few days since, when an emeralder, who had advertisement a lost cow, entered the office in a rage, complaining his advertisement was incorrect. We called for items, when he drew from his pocket a paper, and point cd to the cut ofe. cow. "D'yo think that looks like my cora ?

Immediately on leaping out . of my bed, I convert my chamber into the court. I stick that old portrait of futhees be fore the glass, and' there's the judge staring me full in the face. On my right I establish a row of boots—thosc ore the gentlemen of the jury; on my left is the cupboard or witness box, while on the chairs before me are seated a lot of my learn ed friends. " Well, I conceive the case opened. It's an action for anything--say for breach of promise— and then I begin. If I'm for the plantiff, of course I pile up the pathetic; if for the defendant I reduce the thing to a mere bagatelle. For the plantiff, I describe in tones and strains which bring tears into the eyes of the row of boots—l meant the M- I telligent men of the jury—how fondly, how pas sionately she loved the recreant, base and black hearted defendant. If for him. I transfer her af fection to his pocket, and undertake to show that she never loved him at all. And I'm as likely to be right in the one case as the other, for how can I tell whether she loved him or not. "In a case of this kind, however, give me the plaintiff.

Wanted, an honest, industrious Boy. We lately saw an advertisement beaded. above. It conveys to every boy au impressive moral les- "Au honest, industrious boy" is always want ed. He will be sought for; his services will be in demand; Ile will be respected and loved; he will bo spoken of in terms of high commenda tion ; lie will always have a home; ho will glow up to be a man of known worth and established character. He will be wanted. The merchant will want him for a salesman or a clerk; the master nit ehanic will want him for an apprentice or a jour neyman ; those with a job to let will want him for a contractor; clients will cant him for a lawyer; patients for a physician; religious congregations, for a pastor; parents, fora teacher of their chil dren; and the people, for an officer. Ile will be wanted. Townsmen will want him as a citizen; acquaintances as a neighbor; neigh bors as a friend, families as a visitor; the world as an acquaintance; nay, girls will want bun for a beau, and finally for a husband. An honest industrious boy! Just think of it, boys; will you answer this description? Can you apply for this situation ? Are you sure that you will be wanted? You may be smart and active, but that does not fill the requisition—are you honest? You may be capable—are you industri ous 7 You may be well-dressed, and create a fa vorable impression at first sight—are you both "honest and industrious 7" You may apply for a "good situation"—are you sure that your friends, teachers, and acquaintances can recom mend you for these qualities 7 Oh, how would' you feel, your character not being thus establish ed, on hearing the words " can't employ you."— Nothing else will mak‘up for the lack of these qualities. No readiness or aptness for business will do it. You must be honest and industrious ; must work an labor—then will your " calling and election" for places of profit and trust be made sure. The Boy the Father of the Man. Solomon said, many centuries ago: "Even a child is known by his doing, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right," Some people seem to think that children have no character at all. Ou the contrary, an observing eyo sees in these young creatures the signs of what they are likely to be for life. When 1 sea a boy in haste to spend every pen ny as soon as go gets it, I think it a sign that he will be a. spendthrift. When I see a boy hoarding up his pennies, and unwilling to part with them for any good purpose, 1 think it a sign he will be a miser. When I see u boy or girl always looking out for him or herself, and disliking to share good things with others, I think it a sign that the child will grow up a very selfish person. When I see boys and girls often quarrelling, I think it a sign that they will be violent and hate ful men and women. When I see a little boy willing to taste strong drink, I think it a sign that he will be a drunk ard. When I see a boy e•ho never attends to the ser vices of religion, I think it a sign that ho will be a profane and profligate man. When I see a child obedient to his parents, I think it a sign of grout future blessing from his Heavenly parent. And though great changes sometimes take place in the diameter, yet, as a general rule, these signs do not fail. Wealth of Pennsylvania. The following item, taken from the Washington correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger, will give an idea of the wealth of our State : Would you believe that the mineral wealth of Schuylkill county, Pa., so far as explored, accor ding to the official census returns, is larger than California ? But it is even so. The amount of tonnage at the usual rate per ton of coal actually exceeds per annum the gold dug in California, and brought to the markets of the world ! VOL. XVI.---NO. 6. C'ln no class shall we find a greater exuber ance of fancy or more exaggerated ideas in regard to wealth and luxuay than in the thorough-bred lorifer. A few days ago a couple of individuals of this genus being seated in a sunny nook, near a wharf, at which a California bound vessel was lying, their conversation naturally ran upon gold —as neither of the twain was the possessor of a single red cent—and they amused themselves by wishing for the , preeions-metal. 'Bill,' said one to the other, 'l'll tell yer jest how much gold I wish I had, and I'd be satisfied.' 'Well,' said the individual appealed to, 'go ahead—l'll see of you've gut the liberal idees of a gentiLunii' `Well, Bill, I wish 1 had so much gold, that 'twould take a 74 gun ship, loaded down with needles - so deep that efyon put in another needle she'd sink—and all these needles to be wore out makin' bags to hold my pile.' Bill threw his crownlesss hat upon the pave. ment with indignation, and exclaimed, 'Darn it, why don't you wish fur somo thing when you undertake it ! I wish that I had so much that yours wouldn't pay the interest of mine fur the time you could hold a red hot kalif,a needle in gee ear.'—Yankee Blade. A STORY or THE WAR OF 1812.—C01. Pre ble tells us of an instance of sharp shooting which is not ashamed to look one in the face. Ile states that one of the 'rank and file' under his command once discharged six shots at a barrel rolling down a long hill, he being at the bottom of the hill. Upon the barrel reaching the bottom of the bill, it was examined, and no mark of a bul let was discovered upon it, whereupon his com rades began to ridicule him. He however, very coolly desired them to shake the barrel, by doing which they found that the bullets were inside— the whole six haring entered the hung hole, at which point he had aimed. a-The social feelings have not been unaptly compared to a dark heap of embers, which, when separated, soon languish, darken and expire; but, placed together, they glow with a ruddy and in tense heat.
