SONG OF THE WATER TIPPLER. Oh ! water fur nit', bright water for me, And wine fur the tremulous dcliauchee— It cooleth the bniw ; it co ,, leth the brain ; It maketh the faint one strong again ; It comes o'er the sense, aa,a breeze from the sea, All freshness, like infant purity. So water fur me, bright water for me, Give wine, give wine to the dehuutheo. Fill to the brim, fill, fill 'to the brim, Lot the flowing crystal kiss the rim ; My hand is steady, my eye is true, For I, like the flowers; drink nought but dow Oh water, bright water's a mine of wealth, And the ores it yieldeth nro vigor and health. So water for me, bright water for me, Give wino to the tremulous debauchee. Fill again to the brim, again to the brim, For water strengtheneth life and limb; To the days of the aged it addeth length ; To the mind of the strong it addeth strength ; It freshens the heart, it brightens the sight, 'Pie liko quaffing a goblet of the morning light, So water, pure water, I'll•drink only thee, Thou parent of health and energy. When o'er tho hills, like a gladsome bride, Morning walks forth in her beauty's pride, As leading, a bawl of laughing hours She brushes the dew from the nodding flowers, Oh cheerily thou my voice is heard, Mingling with that of the soaring bird— As ho flingeth abroad his matin loud And freshens his wing in the cool spray cloud. But when evening bath quitted her sheltering yew And, drowsily flying, is weaving anew Her dusky meshes o'er land and sea, How gently, 0 Sleep ! fall thy poppies on me— For I drink water, pure, cold, and bright, And my &ening are of heaven the live-long night. Hurrah for thee, water, hurrah, hurrah ! Thou art silver and gold, thou art riband and star, Hurrah for thee, water, hurrah, hurrah ! `, - Lllo:tiallrlalabQl.Wo From the Ludy's Hook THE SECOND BELL. Tho scene of the present fragment, or particle of a story, or whatever else it may deserve to be called, is laid on board of a steamboat making ready to leave the wharf, at one, of those flourishing little cities up the fludsou. The time is that period of nervous agitation which takes place between the ringing of the first and second bells.— The gangways were crowded, as usual.— Men, with earpet.bags, portmanteaus, um brellas and bundles tied up in red silk hand kerchiefs, women, with bandboxes, parcels, pat usols mid uninits; dandies, with small canes and largo whiskers; children with oranges, apolos and gingerbread. Who, in this age of travelling, will require a de scription of such a scene? On the benches "aft of the wheel house," sat the passengers—men, women, children, dandies, dze. mingled together in various proportions, forming numerous interesting groups; with most of which, however, we shall have as little to do as may be conve , nient, and confine our observations to one party, consisting of three individuals. The first of this little collection was rather a venerable piece of antiquity—a flitherly looking old gentleman, whose face was broad enough to exhibit many trades of be nevolence and good humor. His garb be• tokened a citizen in "tolerable circumstan ces," comprising n brewn square-cut coal, (which seemed to have been made before the introduction of Mr. Allen Ward's patent Guntor's scale system of garment fitting;) a pair of drab corded pantaloons of homemade woollen, a hat of considerable dimensions in the brim, half boots, with mixed stock togs, and other miCor articles of costume to match. The girl, who sat by his side, was his daughter, a pretty little coquettish tormentor, neatly arrayed 'in Mouselaines do Laaine; pink satin hminet and ribbons a little too flashy to accord with • the refine• merit of good taste, as exhibited in our city. The third person of the group was a pert young man, seemingly about six and twenty. not to be called handsome, but very well dressed in a suit of black, with rathor so ostentatious display of trinkets, such as breast-pin, watch-seals, guard-chain, &e.`. His side lucks were very large, hanging ;bout his face in that style which gives an air of ferority to the most trifling and insig iificant features; the only expression, in many cases,which could possibly be engraf ted on the countenance. His eye was restless, glancing from object to object with singular rapidity; and even an ordinary observer might have discerned something unamiable, it may be something suspicious in his deportment. His station was at the right hand of the lady, to whom he was ev• idently paying his amatory devotions. While the youthful pair was engaged in r dialogue, certainly of a tender nature, tho "old one" would occasionally break out into t soliloquy on quite a different subject, and the inferrnixture of topics formed a very singular medley, of which we shall insert only a brief example. Old Man—(thinking aloud) Five hund t saplings of mores mulltcaults at three dollars thirty three cents each--how much? --Hone sapling bring three dollars thirty three cents, what will five hundred come to? Youngster.'llow shall 1 express myself? Old Man. Must do it with figures—by the rule of three. Youngster. What I chiefly admire you for, Miss Ann Matilda, is your— . Old Man. One thousand six himdred and fifty-five dollars. Youngster- Your many accomplishments; which I value— Old Man. At threo,dollars thirty-three cents each. Youngster. At a much higher rata than mere personal attractions. Your fine com plexion, vi4ur beautiful teeth-- Old Man. Planted 125 in a row—four eet six inches apart. Youngster. Your lips resembling ripe ox-heart cherries, your peach-like checks— Old Man. Nothing, better to feed the Youngster. A re,comparatively speaking, oflittle consequence in my eyes. Should I have the felicity to obtain your hand, I shall make— Old Man. A very gond speculation! Youngster. Every exertion to promote your happiness. Thunder and lightning! can that be Langford? Hero the eyes,and apparently the thoughts, of the speaker were averted from his sweet heart, and directed to some other object. At this moment, the captain was giving or• ders to cast off the moorings; the bell•rope quivered, and one premonitory clank put every one interested on the look out; when voice was heard, rising above the din of preparation: "Captain. for the love of mercy—atop! —one minute, ono instant—as you value the happiness of a human being;—ono moment, sir, as you hope for grace and forgiveness!" The now arrival, who thus spoke, was a tall young man, very well put together; his taco was one of those which ladies love to look upon, though a man might object that it had rather too much of a "hair-brained, sentimental" developement. His dress was little in the rustic order, without being shabby or slovenly; true, there was an ap. penrance of those little sins of omission which are consquent ton hasty toilette; one side of his shirt collar was bent under his stock, his vest was not buttoned with duo symmetry, he was without a hat, and his hnir was not arranged in the most unoxcep• tunable inanneir. Making his way to the group just described, he seized the hand of the young lady, exclaiming in a voice of the most passionate intonation: "Ann Matilda, you must not golyou havo been deceived—your father has been imposed on. Tim fellow who sits at your side is a swindler, a most notorious villain!" Another clank of the bell cut short the declamation. '.Captain, grant me another moment—if you would savo this old man and this mis- guided girl from ruin—let me explain—" "Not the proper time and place, sir. Ruin!—Do you mean to say that any body can crime to ruin in my boat, sir?—That's s!ander. Never was as staunch a vessel on these waters. Best of timber; engine low pressure,with the last Improvements; Stubbs & Stamper, manufacturers, Lowell, Massa- chusotts." "You tnisunderatand me. The character of the boat is well establibhed—but can you answer for the character of all the passen gers?" - "Yes, sir, I can," cried the captain, his face blazing with indignation; I can answer for the character of ail my passengers. till the genteeler part or the community go in this boat, sir—the scrubs and scoundrels go in the opposition low-priced line, you think I understand my busineesr "Sir, I have been"— "Cast oil;" cried the captain. "Cast on; sir;—ay, I have been cast off— and that in the most unjustifiable manner. My heart has been wrung"— "Ring the bell," cried the captain. "This lady and I were betrothed;--hold, sir, do not ring--I will satisfy you for the delay--the passengers will not take it amiss. What aro a fow moments of delay compa- red with years of anguish? By depriving me of the opportunity of speaking to this girl, you will probably make three persona wretched for the remainder of their hies. This man has a wife"— "Why, so have I, sir." "A wife—alive." "Will, sir." • "Alive and well, sir. Dent . you see the widtedness of his conduct?—l. sit), he has a •v►fo aliVe and well!" "lfshe were dead or sick, sir, you.might have some pretence for detaining the boat. G. WASIZINGTOLT SOWEN, mraTort.ar.

As your message is now delivered, and seems to afThrd no particular pleasure to the gentleman chiefly interested, you will please to hasten on shore before we haul in the gangways." "Sir,[ will not leave the deck until I have convinced you that a blacker villain than t h is"---- "Hold, sir—l have told you that all my passengers are genteel people; that must not be disputed in this presence. Dont you know that this delay might produce an ac cident?—the boiler, sir"— "My heart, sir"— "alight burst." "Is bursting. You can relieve your boiler by ,blowing off the extra steam; but you deny my.poor heart the relief of vent ing its - powerful emotions in words. Five minutes by• the watch, sir." "Not for , five thousand dollars. The op position is ten miles ahead of Me. [shall have to blow - up my boat to save My char acter. If the collapsing of a flue, the frac ture of a connecting rod, or any small mat ter of that sort would ans‘‘er the purpose, I wouldn't mind it a button, sir--not a button; but blowing up, sir, is a serious thing;— great loss of property; and we have no in surance. Two minutes, sir—( I hold my watch in my hand,) two minutes and Ivo start. Now speak." "This old man has been deceived —per suaded to sell out his grocery concern to engage in a multicaulis speculation. The impostor who urges him to this, seeks to marry his daughter, and yet he has a wife living, who can be produced. Let- him deny it, if he can." "I do deny it—l know nothing about it," said the accused party. "Let Mr. Carboy speak," said the accu ser. "Why,Tom Langford," remarked the o.'d gentleman, "the fact is, I believe you are, a very honest fellow;. and the fact is,l believe Mr. Slipmore here,-is a.very honest fellow. I am sorry to break off engagements with you, Toni, but, the tact • is, Mr. Slipmore offers better terms. The gal prefers you, Tom, but, the fact is, I prefer Mr. Slipmore, because he knows all about them multycul lis affairs. As for this story about another wife, Tom, the fact is, I believe that's all a story of your own . make. Tho fact is, how can it be true, when Mr. Slipmore positive ly denies all knowledge of the tnatterr "Ay, sir," said the captain triumphantly, "how can it he true, when the gentleman knows nothing about it. If a man has a wife, 'gad! he's very apt to know it." "Miss Ann Matilda," said Langford, solemnly, "to you I make my last appeal. The tirne"-- "Is up," cried the Captain; '.Sir, you must go ashore immediately, or make up your mind to go with us. Ring the bell." The bell-rope again quivered. Langford stood glancing alternately at the shore and at the party which occasioned his anxiety. Ann Matilda was speaking earnestly to her• father, but the latter motioned her to si lence, with a smile of incredulity. "Hold onl steamboat avast!" hailed a voice from the wharf. A moment after, two men scrambled over the railing" and presented themselves on deck, before the assembled passengers. These new comers were dressed in a style which, (as we think, rather injudiciously,) expresses their call ing, thus putting their patients on guard, and making an escape, at times, compara tively easy. • "Have a warrant for Job Fletcher, alias Jim Mooney, alias George Hobson, alias Matthew Perry, alias Sam Dawdle, alias Bob Scallops, alias Frederick R Egerton. alias Augustus C. Mandlebert, alias Solo mon SliPinore, alias"— "Hang it!" cried the Captain, indignant. ly, "Do you mean to take every man out of my boat? "Only one, Captain; dont't be scared be fore you're 'hart. Crowley, read the de scription.- Spread yourselves, gentlemen; them that has clean .hearts need'nt be asha• med of their dirty faces. Heads up, all around!" Crowley produced a manuscript, which, could it have blushed for its own appear ance, would have had its modest confusion eactually concealed by the dense covering it had acquired by frequent contact with unwashed hands. 'fhb following passage was then read, in very audible tones,though not without Some hesitation in delivery: "Solomon Slipmore, and so . forth, and so forth; five feet eight inches in height; light corded casinet pantaloons." Here the eyes of the officers glanced at the pantaloons of all the gentlemen present. "Blue mixed stockings." Here the stockings all around underwent a similar inspection. "Winks with his left eye when spoken to. Drinks nothing but gin twist. Has a fash ion of drumming with his knuckles on the table. Has plenty of soft talk fir the ladies. Loves maple sugar. Does not use green spectacles." At each period, the officers looked around on the assemblage, and their atten tion finally settled on old Mr. Carboy, the father of Miss Ann Matilda. That gentle man's light corded pante, and blue mixed stockings condemned him. "This is our man," said Crowley, , "Bring him along then," cried his coed. tutor. • Accordingly the speculator in mulberries vrao formally captured, and would probably have been led off' from the scene of action, had not Langford interfered• This young man had some personal acquaintance with the policemen, and succeeded in convincing thorn that, hey had mistaken their prisoner; bidding them remember the person of hon est old Carboy, the grocer. "Why it is ho, sure enough," exclaimed Crowley; "so, then, we have been misin formed. Slipmoro is not on board. Shovo ahead, Murray; and let's burn this tarnal description, 'case it overdoes the mattter, being;, ton partiklar. Light drab capinet pants; blue mixed stbckinge; no such thing on board, except what this old chap has on; of course, we must be off our truck." "Of course," echoed the Captain. "Stop!" said Langford; when was this description written? What is the date?" "The date," answered Crowley, ' June 7, 1839." "Three months ego!" cried Langford; then added in a tone of great deference, 'Don't you think it possible, gentlemen,that the person might have changed his dress within that time?" "Sure enough!—nn excellent idea!" shou ted Murray; "I never thought of that,bhster me! Changed his dress, Crowley, eta— Is'nt it possible?" Crowley raised one finger to the corner of his eve, and stood n minute with a coun tenance "f the most intense cogitation. "%Veil," said he, at length, "I shuuld'nt be much surprised if that should turn out to be the truth, after all. I'll mark it down in the description, (taking out a pencil.) N. B. Noty Bany—possibly changed his dress. Tell you what, Murray, (aside,) that Lang ford has a rodigious long head —han't he? make a capital lawyer, eh?" "What is the charge against this Slip more, with his string of et celeras" asked Langford. "Stealing horse and sulky from his uncle, fifty miles up the river. Uncle promises to fbrgive and not prosecute, if he will come hack, leave off his bad pranks, and attend to l his wife and young 'un," observed the offi cer "I, will," cried .Slipmore, starting up. "Mr. Langford, I resign my pretensions to this lady. Mr. Carboy you hod better go ashore and open another grocery, leaving speculations in morus multicaulis to persons of a little morn solidity. You understand me, sir, (tapping his forehead.) Miss Ann Matilda, I-wishyou a good morning. Cap tain, much obliged for your good opinion. Messrs. Crowley and Murray, I am ready to accompany you." Carboy, with his daughter on his arm, and Langford, looking very happy on the her side of her, presently went on shore There woe a deal of shaking hanis bet ween Carboy and Langford, and a few kind looks were passing between the latter and Aliss Ann Matilda. Slipmore, in custody of the two constables, passed them, bowing with great politeness and smiling with the utmost self-complacency. •'You have lost three passengers," said seine one to the Captain. "Ayrreplied that commander, "and ten minutes in iime, which is of a little more crinsequence. Shove off, boys, and crowd on all the steam she wilt carry. Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to make you wait, but you see its no fault of mini•. However, I'll ei ther land you in time, or blow the boat and every thing in her fifty fathoms above high water mark; so you need'm give yourselves the leas, bit of uneasiness." Here the second bell rung without inter ruption, and a few minutes alter all that could be discerned ofthe steamboat's where- +bout, was comprised in a heavy volume of black smoke hanging upon the horizon. AN AMUSING INCIDENT. The Farmers and Settler's kind of Democracy. Passing a retail store, a few days since, I stepped in, as my way is , to have a friend ly chat with those I usually find round the store. One of those band box raised chaps, a fellow whose hands were white and soft as a newly made kid glove, was prating about democracy and Van Burenism. In the store was an old Kentuckian, whose head bore the blossoms of some 70 or more win ters, buying some articles for his farm. For some time he paid no attention to Van Buron's champion's declamations about the " Federal candidate." When the old man hnd finished his purchases, he turned to this pink of modern democracy, and, looking him sternly in the face observed— " You say Gea. Harrison is a Federal ist 7" "'Yes." " You call him granny 1" 44 Yes." "You call him a petticoat hero?" " Yes, my old buck, what if I did 7" " Why, I will just tell you what. 1 served under this Federalist, this petticoat hero. I followed him through the snow when I hadn't a pair of shoes as good as that slave's. - 1 have fought with him—eat with him. I have seen him where you aren't show your calfskin; and, although I dont know that I shall vote for him for President,' or for anybody, yet, by golly ! if you don't say you've lied about him make you. Tbat's all I've got to say, old buck as you call me." The mushroon began to apologize, but he old man wouldn't let him off; he made him chew his words over and over again. When he had finished, the old man remar- " You called Gen. Harrison a Fedusalisi, because ho wus fighting for his country when your Democratic President, Van Buren, was doing all he 'could to assist the enemies of his country, by opposing Mr. !Madison 'and his administration. If to fight for my country makes me a Federal ist, I am so ; and if serving in places where I am well paid,and am in no danger of my hide, makes me a Democrat, I aint a Dem —Mzurox. ocrat. I tell you, strippling, you'll find plenty of old men here that wont stand by and hear their old General abused, no way you can fix it. Hereafter, when you want to abuse a man who has fought for his coun try, you had best get out ono side, where you are sure none of the old settlers will bear you : if you don't you'll catch it, sar tin. The first vote I ever gave was for Tom JeTerson. and if I live to give another it will be for Old Tip." This is no fancy sketch. At least four men, residents of this city, witnessed it; and one of the number, after the old man went out, remarked, " My mind is made up—l will vote for Harrison.—S[. Louis Repub• bean. FOR •RENT, ON A LEASE OF FOUR or; i',F" YEARS. That well known Farm situated at North Rend, in the State of Ohio is offered for rent, for four years from the 4th of March 1841. The preient occupant, General WILL LAM HENRY HARRISON, being abou :o take a lease from the People, for the "White House" at Washington, is &sir. ous to let said farm dpon reasonable terms to some good, practical farmer. 'Ulm land is situated in the Far West, but owing to the gallantry of its present occupant in for iner times, no fears need now be entertain ed of being , disturbed by the Indians. The owner would object to the cultivation of such fancy affairs as the Mulberry and Rose bushes, and insists that the good old substantial grains, such as Corn and Rye be raised. The land being well adapted to the cultivation of Cabbage, Mr. Van Buren will be entitled to the refusal. There are no hickory trees upon the place. Should Mr. Van Buren engage .the premises he can be accommodated with a weeping wil low grove, in one corner of the Inrm as a place of solitary resort. The fences are all strait, and should the above gentleman take the lease, ho will be strictly forbidden to tear them down for the erection of the 'old zig zag worm fence. Application may be made to Daniel Web: ster, Boston; Nicholas Biddle, Philadel phia ; Henry Clay, Lexington the old farmer himself at North Bend.

In one of his wanderings one day in the Links of Edinburg, he stumbled against a cow. With his usual politeness, he took off his hat, made a low bow, and a thousand , npol. ogles and then walked an. A friend who witnessed what had happened, accosted him, and inquired why he had taken off his hat. •He answered that he had acci dentally jostled a stranger, and was apologi zing fur his rudeness. His amasement may be conceived, when he was informed , that he had been offering his excuses to a cow!—On another occasion, he met his wife in the Meadows. She stopt, and he did so too; he bowed, hoped she was well and bowed again and went on his way.-- Upoc his return home, Mrs. Erskine asked him where he had been. He answered in the Meadows, and that be had met a lady ; but he could not for the world imagine who she was. SOMETHING FOR Annorferuc.q.--We have been favored with the sight of a Watch, which in point of antiquity we sup pose to have no rival in America. It was made by "Druid," in Switzerland, in the year 1403, so that it has now arrived at the respectable age of 437. years. The shape of the watch is oval, having three sides; one of which is the dial and the other two plain glass, through which the works are visible. The " chain" is made of catgut. This curious time piece was brought to this country by one of the early settlers; it is now in possession of Mr. C. A. Droz, of this cr. ty, and is the only specimen of the kind now known, with the exception of one own ed by a jeweler in Paris. On examination, there can be no doubt that the article is a genuine relic of olden times.—Ledger.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE. -- A family of eight persons. in this place, Ras strangely affected, last Saturday morning.on attempt ing to rise from their beds. The mother rose first, and on stepping out fell prostrate on the floor; the father. on hastening to his wife's assistance, met with a similar fate. The children, being awakened 14 the noise, and called upon for aid, sprang out of their beds, but on reaching the floor every one of them sank helpless down. A fit of severe• vomiting ensued, accompanied with violent pain in the head, each one being affected precisely alike. Under these distressing circumstances, help arrived, and medico( WoXIVZIaI ci1 , 11);) 6940 aid being summoned, the cause was imme• diatcly - detected in a disjointed pipe of n coal stove in the lower story; the doors above had been left ajar, the gas fitted the chambers, and hence the consequences.
