Unto you I bear The joyous greeting of the young Ntw Year! This huppy morn he came in glorious state Forth from eternity's celestial gate; The sun's bright chariot is hie dazzling throne, The star-gem'd heaven is his etherial crown, And the strong sceptre of imperious fate Is cway'd by I S3S. His predecessors were a royal race, Of Time's rich dynasty; each held his place, Aa God's vice-gerent, with supreme command, And sway despotic, over sea and Innd; And mighty deeds they wrought, as yu may see If yell consult the page of History. And he who abdicated yesterday, Bore weighty records to Eternity: Not only of the earthquakes, which have spread O'er various regions desolation dread: Nor of the blood-red borealean light That docks so splendidly the heaven at night; Anti wars, and rumors, thro' earth's various climes Which mark the presence of the latter times. Not only of the Nations near, and far; The despotism of Russia's mighty Czar; The mad turmoils, and civil wars of :Spain, Where madmen fill with feuds a female reign ; Tho discontents of France, that gallant land, Which toils for Liberty with heart and hand; But ever merg'd in error's wildering shade, Mistakes some demon for the heavenly maid. Of England, whose old king so well beloY'd, Was in his course to heaven's bright throne re- While young VICTORIA, in her regal state, Fills every heart, and seems immaculate. Nor yet the squally yvar that Texas wag'd With Mexico, where stormy patriots rng'd Against the despotism that slny'd the land; While Santa Anna led the blood-red band, Where war-clouds still ore louring on the sky Like wild, black vapours, when the thunder's by Nor yet the records of the Indian race, Who cannot find on earth a resting place, To which the grasping pale face will not come And claim the humble spot he calls hisliome! Nor troubled Canada's * • Nor all earth's catalogue of feuds and ware, But chronicled in his port folio, stand All things he witness'd in our glorious land; Where adverse currents swell with stormy strife, And mar the bliss, and confidence of life. Where party spirit, like the viper vile, Torments itself by biting at the file; Whore some are groaning with pretended pain, And 50111 C hove reason justly to complain. For he who held the plough with partial hand, Made crooked furrows in our fertile land; Which must he ntraighten'd with unwearied toil, E'er equal crops can grow upon the soil. Yet tho' the tide of party strife runs high, And opposition is the general cry, And each will madly vindicate his cause, And mobs are frequent—Shame unto the laws! Still we have cause to bless the GRHAT SurlieMa That our brave Fathers' hopes were not a dream; Bin that the seed of blessing, which they riew'd In tears, and sweat-drops, and maimed with blood Now bring abundant harvests. which we reap, And bless their memory while in peace they sloep. Our fan MITT and Usiox still remain, Proof that those Patriots did not toil in vain. And still we will preserve these pledges, won By our belov'd and matchless WARM NOTOY. And how does Penneylvanta's record I. mit Upon the pages of that dooms-day book? Why still th' old Key-Stone binds the federal arch And urges forward in improvement's march; And tho' we hear the rich, and poor complain, Of want of cash, and scarcity of grain, Still we have Manufactures, Trades, and Arts, And Health,and willing Hands,and honest Hearts, Away! then fears, and cares, and poverty; Hurra! fur Honor, and Prosperity! But Patrons, since I hold your honor deer, I'll not speak loud, but whisper in your ear That in this !nighty Book of which I speak, Some things are written that might stain your cheek! I have been thinking of the vast amount Of my defaults, in that august account, What lines of black arc there against me! tush! Tho' I'm the Devil, faith, it makes me blush! But then with your accounts I've nought to do Except in one small item—Some of )ou Have let old 1 537 Lay up his docket in 'h' archives of Heaven, While on its leaves, your trifling Printer's bill :emains in black and white uncanced still 'A.rl there tie written how my Master sigh:d When ho implor'd his pay, and was deny'd.' Alan, my Patrons! this was very wrong, And makes an ugly balk in my good song. Launch out the shin plasters, I pray, like men, Nor let me twit you of the like again! , We sometimes smile to see the swaggering band, Who swore to have no paper in the land, And boasted how the golden coin would chink In every pocket, would the Bank but sink! Pull out their purses, while thru' every mesh Instead of Jackson gold, or even cash,' Peep out those pretty pictures—trash you know, Yclep'd AIN i•LASTERS, worth a fip or ao! Yet we're contented, so our trade hut thrive, And arts, and agriculture keep alive. And tho' we're pinbled for cash, and bread, and r Confide in heaven, and hope for better times. Old Adams marches gloriously along, We'll pledge her right, whoever may be wrong While THADDEUS STr.vr.xs represents her cause, Stands boldly at the helm, and reads the laws. Gond bye to the Ohl Year—Joy to the New With his 1m44• wallet, tilled for me, aud you. And tho', thank heaven, its hidden mysteries Aro quite impenetrable to our oyes, And we expect 'tis like the casket given, To film'd Pandora by the powers of heaven; That fatal bog, beneath whose mystic !id Hope way amongst all human evils hid; Still we will hope for bliss, and laugh to-day, And when the evils conic, bear patiently. Dear Patrnmi! From his heart, the Cagier boy Wishes you health, prosperity, and joy! success in trade, in arta encouragement, And crops, and cattle, to your hearts content; Bright smiles, end kisses from the lips you love And promises of truth, that true will prove; That wise, and beautiful, and faithful wives, ?day bless your happy boines,and crown your lives With all the (Ahern deep and thrilling joys, As you embrace your new born girls and boys, For whom the gates of Education stand %Vide open, in our free and happy laud; Thanks to that generous Champion of the poor, Whose dauntless eloquence unbar'd the dour; We wish the New Year's richest gifts to With bliss, no change, or chance, can damp or dim And now, my Patrons, since I have not time To prattle much of politics in rhyme, I'll just refer you to our STAY, which shines Into men's souls, with rich, important lines ; A radiant BANNER to the wise and free, Who love our Fathers' watchword, Li Long may the STAn & BANNER guide oar way, Blest with your patronage, whose ready pay Gives motion to the Press, whose power must be The only sovereign in a laud that's free. And generous aid from you, gives life, and joy, Both to the,Printer, and the 'Prentice boy. Early this morn I met my master dear, And wish'd a happy New Ynar in his ear, And he although his pocket book is bare, ('Tis all your fault that he'd no cash to spare,) Gave Inn a levy!—and I Inaba(' forth, To track the snow, and fuca the whistling north, And wish you happy New Year. And I know, You that are able will ho generous too, And will not let the Carrier's heart be sad With disappointment, now when all are glad All! did I say! Alan for those who hear With cold despair, the greeting of the yoar! Dear Patrons! when your tulip's boards are spread Think of the :offering poor who have no bread! And in your costly robes, remember those Who shiver in their scanty, tnttor'd clothe! And amid meek Charity to dry their tears, Heal their diseases, and dispel their fears; That God may give you, when your yearn shall clone, A *HAPPY Nr.w Y/tAil—far from cares and woes! V/0 L'alilTl) 0 trier:9E2 <',, ilfshop George and the young Preacher. A,rr aged traveller, worn and weary, was urging on hie tired just us the sun was dropping behind the range of hills that bounds the horizon of that rich and pic turesque country in the vicinity of Sin ing fielp, Ohio. It was a sultry August even ing, and he had journeyed a distance of 33 miles since morning, his pulses throbbing `tinder the in:Leuze of a burning sun. AL Fairfield, he had been hospitably entertain ed, by one who had recognised the veteran soldier of the cross, and who had ministered to him for his Master's sake, of the bene fits he himself had received, from the hand which feedeth the young lions when they lack; and he had travelled on, refreshed in spirit. But many a weary mile had he jour neyed over since then, and now as the even• ing shades darkened around, he felt the bur den of age and toil heavy upon him, and he desired the pleasant retreat he had pictured to himself when that day's pilgrimage should be accomplished. It was not long before the old man check ed his tired animal at the door of the anxi ously looked for heaven of rest. A middle aged woman was at hand, to whom he mild ly applied leir accommodatien for himself, and horse. "I dob't know," said she coldly, after scrutinizing fur sonic time, the appearance of the traveller, which was not the most promising, "that we can take you in, old man. You seem tired, however, and I'll see if the Minister of the circuit, who is here to-night, will let you lodge with him." The young circuit preacher soon made his appearance, and consequentially swag gering up to the old man, examined him for some moments inquisitively; then asked a few impertinent questions—and finally,after adjusting his hair half•a•dozen times, feel ing his smoothly shaven chin,consented thnt the stranger should share his bed for the night, and turning upon his heel entered the, house. The traveller, aged and weary as he was, dismountod, and led his faithful animal to the stable, where, with his own hands, he rubbed him down, watered him, and gave him food, and then entered the inhospitable , mansion where he had expected so much kindness. A Methodist family resided in the house, mid as the circuit preacher was to be Viere that day,great preparations were made to entertain him, and a number of the Methodist young Indies of the neighborhood had been invited, so that quite a party met the eyes of the stranger, as he entered, not one of whom took the slightest notice ofi him, and he wearily sought a vacant chair in the corner, nut of direct observation, but where he could note all that was going on. And his anxious eyes showed that he was no careless observer of what was transpiring , around him. The young minister played his part with all the frivolity rind foolishness era city beau, 1 1 and nothing like religion escaped his Now he was chattering and bandying sense less compliments with this young lady, and now engaged in trifling repartee with anoth er, who was anxious to seem interesting in his eves. The stranger,after an hnur,dming which no refreshments had been prepared fir him asked to be shown to his mini); to whieh he retired unnoticed—grieved acrd hockud ' the conduct of the family minister. Taking from his saddle bags. a well worn bible, he seated himself ins chair : and was soon buri ed in though:n, holy and elevating, and had food to eat which those who missed him by in pity and scorn, dreamed not of. Hour of hour passed away, and no one came to invite the.old, worn down traveller, to par take of the luxurious supper which was serv ed below. Towards eleven o'clock the minister came up stairs, and without pause or pray er,hasti• ly (blew off his clothes,ond got into the very middle of a small bed, which was to be the resting place of the old man as well an him. self. After a while the aged strawrer rose up, and niter partially disrobing himself, knelt down, and remained for many minutes in fervent prayer. The earnest breathing out of his soul, soon arrested the attention of the young preacher, who began to feel some few reproofs of conscience ter his own neglect of his duty. The old man now rose from his knees, and after slowly undressing himself, got into bed, or rather upon the edge of the bed, for the young preacher had taken possession of the centre and would not, voluntarily move an inch. In this uncom fortable position, the stranger lay for some time,in silence. At length the young preach er made a remark, to which the old man re plied in a style and manner that arrested his attention. On this he moved over an inch or two and made more room. "flow far have you come to-day, old gen tleman?" "Thirty-five miles." "From where?" "From Springfield." "Ali, indeed! You must be tired after so long a journey, for one of your age." "Yes, this poor old body is much worn down by long and constant travelling, and I feel that the journey of to-day, has exhaus ted me much." The young minister moved over a little. "You do not belong to Springfield,then?" "No. I have no abiding place•" "How?" "I have no continuing city. My home is beyond this vale of tears." Another move of the minister. "How far have you travelled on your pre sent journey?" "From Philadelphia." "From Philadelphia! (in evident sur prise.) The Methodist General Conference was in session there a short time since.— Had it broken up when you left?" Olt adjourned the day before 1 started." "Ali, indeed!" moving still farther over towards the front side of the bed and al lowing the stranger better accommodation. "Had Bishop George left when you came out?" "Yes—he started at the same time I did —we left in company." "Licked!" Here the circuit Drencher relinquished a full half of the bed,arid politely requested the stranger to occupy a larger space. "How did the Bishop look? He is getting quite old and feeble, is he not?" "He carries his age toleiebly troll. But his labor is a hard one, and he begins to show signs of failing strength." "He is expected this way in a week or two. How glad I shall be to shake hands with the old veteran of the Cross! But you say you left company with the good old man—how far did you come together?" "We travelled alone for a long distance.' "You travelled alone with the Bishop?" "Yes! we have been intimate for years." "You intimate with Bishop George!" "Yes—why not?" "Bless nie! Why did I not know that?— But may I be so bold as to enquire your name?" . After a moment's hesitation, the stranger replied— "George." "George! George! Not Bishop George!' "They call rue 'Bishop George,' " meek Iv replied the old man. " W hy —why bless me! Bishop George!' exclaimed the now abashed preachnr,spring ing from the bed—" You hare had co sup. per! I will instantly call up the family.- IVhc did you not tell us who you were ? " "Stop—stop,my friend," said the Bishop, gravely. want no supper here,and should not eat it were it got for ins. If an old man, toil worn and weary,fainting with travelling through all the long summer day, was not considered worthy of a meal by this family who profess to have set up the altar of God in their house, Bishop George surely is not. Ile is,at best, but a man, nod has no claims beyond common humanity." A night of severer mortification, the young minister had never evierieneed. The • Bishop kindly admonished him, and warned him of the great necessity there was oftis adorning the doctrines of Christ, by follow ing Him sincerely and humbly. Gently, but earnestly be endeavored to win him back from his wanderings of heart, end di rect him to trust more in God and less to has own strength. In the morning the Bishop prayed with him, long and fervently, before lie left the chamber and was glad to eec his heart mel ted into contrition. Soon after the Bishop descended, and was met by the heads of the family with a thousand sincere apologies. He mildly silenced them,and asked !envoio have his horse brought out. The horse was accordingly soon In readineirs,and the Bish op, taking up his saddle•bags,wa:t preparing to depart— "But sorely, Bishop," urged the distress ed maul n, "you will net !tins leave us? Wait n few minutes—breakfast is on the table.". "No, sister D—, 1 cnnnot take break. fat hore. You did not consider a poor, tail Nvorii traveller worthy of a meal, end your Bishop has no claim but such 113 humanity urges." [VOL. 8--No. 40. And thus he departed, having the family and minister in confusion and sorrow. lie did not act thus from resentment, for such an emotion did not rise in his heart; but he desired to teach Thom I) lesson such as they would not easily forget. Six months from this time the Ohio An. nual Conference met at Cincinnati, and the young minister was to present himself for ordination as a Deacon; and Bishop George was to he the presiding Bishop. On the first day of the assembling of this Conference, our minister's heart sunk with; in him as he saw the vendable Bishop take • his seat. So great was his grief and agita. tion that he was obliged to leave the room. That evening, as the Bishop was seated a• lone in his chamber, the Rev. Mr. was announced, and he requested him to be shown up. He grasped the young man by the hand with a cordiality which he did not expect, for he had made careful inquiries, and found that since they had mot before, a groat change had been wrought in him. lie was now us humble and pious,as he was before worldly minded. As a father would have received a disobedient but repentant' child, so did this good man receive his err ing but contrite brother. They mingled their tears together,while the youog preach er wept as a child, upon the bosom of his spiritual father. At that session he was ordained, and he is now one of the most pious and useful 'ministers in the Ohio Con ference. Four Funny Fellotcs. Theodore Cibber, in company with throe others, made an excursion. Theodore had a false set of teeth--e second a glass eye—a third a cork leg—but the fourth had nothing in particular. excepting a remarkable way of shaking his head. They travelled in a post conch, and while on the first stage, after each had made mer ry with his neighbor's infirmity,they agreed at every baiting place, to affect the same singularity. When they came to breakfast, they were all to squint—and language can not express hew admirably they all squinted —for they went one degree beyond the su perlative. At dinner they all appeared to have a cork leg, and their stumping about made more diversion than they had done at breakfast. At ten they were all deaf; but at supper which was at the '•Ship" at Dover, each man reaumod his character, the better to play his part in a farce they had concert• ed among them. When they were-ready to go to bed, Cibber cried out to the waiter— " Here, you fellow! take out my teeth."—. "Teeth, sir?" said the man. "Ay, teeth, air—Uuserew that wire, and they will all come out together." After some hesitation, the man did as he was ordered. This was uo sooner performed, than a second called out—" Hero you! take out my eve." "Sir," said the waiter, "yonr eye?" "Yes, my eye, come here, you stupid dog! pull up that eye lid, and it will come out as easy as possible." This done, the third cried out—" Here, you rascal! take.ofrmy leg." This he did with less reluctance, being before apprised that it was cork, and also conceiving that it would be his last job. He was, however mistaken; the fourth watched his opportunity and, whilst the frightened waiter was surveying with rueful countenance, the eye, teeth and kg, lying on the table, cried out in a fright ful hollow voice,—"Come her)), slid—take off my head." Turning round and seeing, the man's head shaking like that of manda rin upon a chimney piece, he darted out of the room, and after tumbling down stairs, he ran madly about the house as tf terrified out of his senses.

More of the remains are to be seen than of flermopolis, which is an origi nal Egyptiln city, and stands on the right bank of the river; but tingle portico has survived the ravages of time and the ele ments; yet it is asserted by every traveller who has •isited these two sites upon the same dal, that the single remain of Her. mopolis which remains, is calculated to ex cite within the bosom of the beholder more admiration and wonder, than all the temples ' and combined ruins ofits Grecian neighbour. And Mr. Bucicitighnm, in adverting to this fact, contrasted the feelingsofthe individual who visits St. Pauls at London, and then turns to view the solemn aisles of West. minster: while the splendours of St. Paul's • might excite admiration, diem was nothing of that grave and sacred awe connected with the view which seems to immediately thrill the bosom of the stranger who visits the interior of the Abbey. mrnovEnumr, IN CORY.—Thor are de. posited in the patent office at Washington samples of unproved Corn, raised by Timm sAs N.
