But even over all these scenes there is one star seen to brighten. In the absence - of all that renders life tolerable, in weal or wo, in joy or sorrow, it still beams out uncharfg• ed and undimmed. It shines in peerless beauty, dispensing its blessed light at all seasons, and even when it is forgotten, and we steer wide of its heavenly direction, still it seems to twinkle near us.—This is the ' Star of Bethlehem. It goes before us, shooting downward its golden brightness, and then again it plays like a thing of life athwart the distant vista, that had for a brief moment, shut in, black and dark n 9 mid night. 0, what heart rending sensations pervade the torn, lacerated bosom of the afflicted, when they see the gigantic shad ings of life's fitful picture cover for days this pole sear of their hopes! Dark, dark, aro all present things though arrayed in the pomp and glittet of this world's splendor. In its absence, n storm is abroad more hor rible than ever startled ocean's hardiest sons. But, 0, who can describe the extatic joys which inspire those who have groped their way for years without one chi ering beam of hope, or spark of glimmering day, when they come out upon prospects touched with divine penciling, lighted with this star of peace, the harbinger of all God's prom. ised blessings! With what unutterable satisfaction and pleasure they gazoidpon this token of a. Saviour's love, as it lights them along in the path of duty, and, walk• ing in its brightness, ushers them into the presence of him who lit it up in the moral heavens to be our guide to endless bliss. IF there are any joys on earth, which harmonize with those of heaven, they are the joys of a Christian family. When the snow flakes fall fast in wintry evening, and the moaning wirds struggle at the windows, what is so delightful as to see the happy little one sporting around a blazing fire. Look at the little creature in her night. dress, frolicking and laughing, as though she never had known, and never would know a care.

E'en bOW COlVrapt I seem to stand Once more a little cherished child, Amongst the bright and happy band Who listen'd to thy voice, and amil'd I see my blessed native spot, The nodding grove, the verdant vale; The grain clad bill, the bosom'd cot, The shrubbery nodding to the gale; The will built city in its pride, With ancient spire, and nodding dome; The laden vessels on the tide From the far ocean sweeping home. My father's house, that blessed place Where joy, and sweet affection dwelt; Where gentle piety, and peace, Were in their holy beauty felt. Each inmate of that dear abode, By memary's steady light I see; Though some are lung ago with God, And all arc far away from me. Each fragrant shrub, and glowing flow'r, The orchard, and the rocky glen. Are bright and sweet by fancy's pow'r, And wild, as I beheld them then. And I can deem thy note so sweet, Now swelling musically shrill; Rings from the quhice tree then the seat Of my familiar Whippoor Will. Now breaks that smile, so fond and bright, And a rich voice is in mine ear, "Look up! the evening star is bright, Come to your beds, my children dear." The lamp is set; the prayers arc said; A mother's hymn is in mine sleep— No thorns were on that pillow spread; I had not learned to watch, and weep.

THE FAMILY. an air of careless mirth, as though he never knew a sorrow. But in truth, he is a poor pitiable victim of disquietude and depres sion. His jokes are forced. Hie smile is unnatural. It is even by constraint that ho retains the semblance of good nature. See him at home, how petulent and irasci ble! Thtt least annoyance is, to his mind, like the spark of the powder. His chi!. dren, while they flee from his frown, imbibe his spirit. See him, as he rises in the morning gloomy mid cross. The poor creature hardly knows the meaning of the word enjoyment. This is n man of pleasure! He will not obey God's law because it will disturb .his happiness! Wretched man! He is the victim of his own sins. Ile is serving Satan here, and Satan rewards him, as lie does all his disciples, with the pain. fully forced semblance of joy, but with a ha rrassed spirit, and prospective destruction. Lord Chesterfield was such a man. He spent his whole life in the vain pursuit of pleasure, arid yet happiness continually eluded his search. Listen to his.zandid confession. "I have seen the silly round of business and pleasure, and have done with all. I have enjoyed all the pleasures of the world, and consequently know their futility, and do not regret their loss. I apprise them of their real value, which in truth, is very low ; whereas those who have not ex perienced, always over-rate them.—They only see the gay outside. and are dazzled with the glare. But I have been ,behind the scenes.—W hen I reflect upon what I have seen, what I have heard, and wha have done, I cannot pursundo myself that all the frivolous bustle of the world had any reality. Shall I tell you that 1 bear this melancholy situation with the merito• rious resignation and constancy, which most men boast? No sir! I really cannot help it. I bear it, because I must bear it whether I will or no. I think of nothing hut killing time the best way I can.' What a comment is this confession upon what is generally called worldly pleasure! The dying scene of such a man is a fear ful commentary upon his misspent life. He lies upon his dying bed, annoying all around with his irritability. The retro spect of the part affords him no pleasure, and the future is filled with fearful forebod ings.—And there he lies, brooding in sullen silence upon the present pains, with no con solations in respect to the future. He dies end is forgotten. But oh! that is not the . end of his history. Judgment is before him, and eternal retribution succeeds. The imagination shrinks from following him into those regions!

HENRY: In looking over the 'Western Ar gus, of the 11 th July inst., I discovered an ecli toriat ernes% under the head of "more evidence," referring to certain suits brought in the Quinn(' Common Pleas of Beaver county, by David R. Perter, against James Kiddo and Alexander Russel, in which the allegation is made, that the records of Beaver county chew, that David R. Porter, INSTEAD OF DELIVERING UP 267 1,520 434 982 TO 1115 TRUSTEES, for the use of his cred• itors, all his property, debts and claims, COL LECTED IN "HIS OWN NAME, AND FOR HIS OWN USE," between eight and nine hun dred dollars from two citizens of this county, to whom he had previously sold land in North Beaver township. AO was the attorney employ. ed to collect the amounts of the bonds alluded to, as they respectively became due, and as the re cords to which you refer give but an imperfect history of the real facts of the transaction, I deem it due to justice and truth, that I should give a full and fair statement of the facts and circumstances connected with it, so far as they have come to my knowledge—they are as follows: On the 14th day of December, 1818, DAVID R.TORTER placed in my hands, for collection, three bonds on James Kiddo and Alexander Russel, all dated the 7th day of December, 1818, one of which was conditioned for the payment of ono thousand dollars on or before the first day of April next ensuing, ono conditioned for the pay. mont of three hundred and thirty-three dollars and thirty-three cents, on or before the first day of Agril, 1820, and one other conditioned for a like sum of three' hundred and thirty-three dol lars and thirty-three cents, on or before the first day of April, 1821; for which three obligations I gave Mr. Porter a receipt, stating the purpose fur which they were left with me. On or about the 24th of April, 1819, George Davis called on me, at my office, and presented the receipt which I hod given to MR. PORTER for the bonds, 'with an assignment BY DAVID R. PORTER OF HIS INTEREST AND CLAIM IN THE BONDS THEREIN MENTIONED TO JOHN STONEBRAKER AND THOMAS OWENS, bearing date; to the best of my recollection, on or about ae ninth day of January,lBlo. Mr. Davis 941 1,016 944 199 752 1,909 640 132 01,335 88,1435 Muhlen borg 335 277 1492 780 699 164 11311 1423 366 1321 091 85 757 1658 94023 65804 [VOL. 9--NO. 19. 1106 173 959 1649 also presented to me at the same time, a written order, dated the 13th day of April, 1819, and signed by Jnhn Stonebraker, for tho amount of the bond which had become duo on the Ist of April. This order, I believe to he in the hand writing of DAVID R. PORTER, and to. be igned by John Stonehruker —Not having at that time received any money, I drew an order in favor of George Davis, Esq. on Messrs. Kiddo and Russel for the amount, or any leas suns they could conveniently pay, and Mr. -Davis received from Alexander Russel ono hundred and forty. four dollars and forty cents. On the 28th day of February, 1820, I paid to Samuel Stonebraker. fur his fattier, John Stonehraker, three hundred end fifty dollars, money 1 had received from Mr. Russel, at which, time, I think, my receipt to D. It. Porter, with his assignment on it, was again produced On the first day of September follow. ing. John Stoneliraker called; on inn for more money, producing my receipt and Mr. Porter's assignment lat this time objected to give Mr• Stonebrakor any more money, having 'eceived a letter from Thollittfi M. Owens, stating "that John Stonebraker" was, in the language of the. writer, " a broken merchant, the constable hay. ing sold ell his property, end that Stonebraker had never paid over to him any part of the money which had been previnusly received." Mr. Stonebraker then proposed to leave with me, es security and for collection, another hand on Mossra. Kiddo and Russel for $343, bearing date the same time as the others, and payable to David R. Porter on the first of April, 1823, and assighed by him to John Stonebrakor by en. dorsement boating date the ninth day Of Janua ry, 1819. To Mr. Stonebraker's proposition I acceded and paid him the money then in my hands.—Sometlmo afterwards, Mr. Owens, hav ing received a considerable payment recovered of Kiddo and got the last mentioned bond on the order of Mr. Stonebraker.—The same bond was on the first of May, 1823. nisi mad by Mr. Stonebrakor to George Davis. Esq. who placed it in my hands for collection. On the 27th May. 1825, Mr. Stonebraker again called on me for more money and produced my receipt to Mr. Porter for the three bonds first men- tionod, with tho assignment. I putd him two hun. dred and seventy-six dollars and eleven cents, for which I wrote a receipt on the back ofthe receipt given to Mr. Porter for the bonds, and requested Mr.Stonebraker to sign it; ho, however, neglected to do it, and left it in my cif:too, which I did not discover for somo days, when I Informed him of tho fact by !otter, requesting him to direct ma In What way I should forward It to him. Whether he replied or not, I cannot now recollect; but the iinprosoion on my mind has over boon, that I for warded it shortly afterwards In a letter to him by nisi!. Of thisOuwever, I cannot positively spool: I have frequently searched for it, but never could find it. 'l'ha loss of this paper occasioned some difficulty, as I was unwilling to pay any more money to the assignees of the bonds, without the authority of Mr: Porter for so doing. In this way tho mattor rested until the 23d July,lB3o, when David R. Porter called on me, and produced the affidavit of Jolln Btonebraker, stating that ho had not received the receipt and assignment, and that it not In my possession ho knew not whore the pa per was. This affidavit was accompanied with an . order from John Stolieb-aker and Thomas M. Owens, to PAY OVER ANY BALANCE IN MY HANDS TO DAVID R. PORTER, with which I immediately complied, by paying to him THE SUM OF ONE HUNDRKD AND FIF TY.NINE DOLLARS AND. TWENTY.NIINE CENTS, THE BALANCE DUE. At the same time, I paid to D. R. Porter, on a written order from George Davis, a balaßce of TWO HUN. DRED DOLLARS AND SIX CENTS, RE MAINING IN MY HANDS, OF THE MO. NEY COLLECTED ON THE BOND AS SIGNED BY PORTER TO STONEBRAKER. AND BY THE LATTER TO DAVIS, AS A BOVE STATED. Tho suit brought on this last bond was in the name of George Davis, assignee of John Stonobraker, who was assignee of David R. Porter, I have in my possession the correspondence with Mosars.
