The Bull erfly.
BT Mlle. sloorrnsEr
A butterfly bask'd on a baby's grave,
Where a - lind• chanced to-grow : ---
Why art thou here with a gaudy dye,
Where she of the bright and sparkling. eye
Dina sleep in the churchyard low ?
Then it lightly soared through the sunny air.
And spoke from its shiny track:
I was a worm till I won my wings,
And she whom thou =tiniest like a seraph
sings :
Wouldst thou call the loved one heck?
TheMothees Love.
Number thy lamps of love, and tell me now,
How many thou canst relight at the stars •
And blush not at their burning? One—one only--
Lit while your pulses by one heart kept time,
And ted with faithful fondness to your grave—
One_lam p—thy mother's lore—amid the stars
Shall lift its pure flame changeless, and before
The throne of God burn through eternity—
Holy as it was lit and lent thee here. -
Love's Language.
There's a language 'that's mute, there's a silence
that speaks,
There is something that cannot be told,
There are words that can only be read in the cheeks
And thoughts but the eyes can unfold.
There's a look so expressive, so timid, so kind,
So conscious; so quick to impart,
Though dumb, in an instant it speaks out the mind
And strikes in an instant the heart.
This eloquent silence, this converse of soul', ":
In vain we attempt to suppress,
More prompt it appears from the wish to control,
More apt the fond truth to express.
And oh! the delights in the features that shine,
The raptures the bosom that melt,
When blest with each other this converse divine
Is mutually spoken and felt I

SLANDER.—Show us an individual, ex
empt from the poisonous'breath of theslan
derer, and we will show you something
new, under the sun. The seeds of this
vice have been strewed broadcast over the
earth, desolating families and neighbor
hoods, and blasting much that is lovely
with the mildew of 'death. No character
is so pure, no talents so distinguished, no
post of honor so elevated, as.to be exempt
from its contaminating influence.. All
have felt its withering breath. As men ;
immortal men—children of one Father—
how assiduously should Ave:labor to crush
this - besetting sin, and try to build up rath
er than destroy the character of our fellow
creatures. When a neighbor suffers we
really feel the effects of thatinjury, although
unnoticed by us. There is a connecting
link bet Ween man and man, which cannot
be tarnished or broken without affecting
the whole commupity in a greater or less
degree. Debaise our families—our neigh
bors-our villages—and the curse is on
ourselves, and on our children when we
aro gone: Elevatebuild up one another
—and virtue will flourish, and peace and
pleasantness will attend closely upon your
ste,s.
4 1 CAN'T, DO IT."7—Yes you can. Try
—try hard, try ofton—and you will ac
complish it. Yield to every discouraging
circumstance, and you will do nothing
worthy of a great mind.' Try .and you
will do wonders. You will be astonished
at yourself—your advancement in whatev
er, you undertake. ..ssl can't" )las ruined
many a man ; has been the tomb of bright
egpectatiOn and ardent hope. Let "I will
tiv," be your motto in whatever you un
dertake, and if you press onward, you
will steadily and surely .accomplish your
object, and come off victorious. Try—
keep trying—and you, are• made. for this
world.

I was walking with 'Wilberforce.. in his
verandah, says a friend, watehing, for the
opening of a night-blooming. Ceres. As we
stood in expectation, it suddenly burst
wide open before us. It reminded me as
we admired its beauty, of the mysteries of
divine Providence first breaking on the
glorified eye, when they shall fully unfold
to the view, and appear as beautiful as
theyare complete. -

ISIBLE'FOR TJ U ARMY.—We are
gratified to learn that the army in Texas
.applied to_ the American Bible Society for
the Scriptures — and that four thousand
copies of the New Testament have been
forwarded for theii-use. - Wit is 'desirable

CERTIFICATE OF CHARACTER.--4 Hoo
sier was called upon the standout West, to
testify to the character of a brother Hoosier.
The testimony was as follows:
"How , long have you known Bill
Whack ?"
"Ever since- he-was born."--
"What is his general character ?"
"Letter-A, No. I—bove par a great ways
I judge."
"Would you believe him on oath ?"
,
"Yes, sir-ee! on or off, or any otner
way, I conclude." .
„ What, in your opinon, are his qUaliti
cations as to a good character ?”
“He's the best shot on our prairies, or
in the. woods. He can shave the eye-wink
ors of a wolf as far as a shootin iron'll car
ry a ball. He cap 'drink a quart of grog
any day, and chews tobacker like a hoss."
TOO GOOD TO DE LOST.-A young man
at a social party was urged to sing a song.
lie replied that he would first tell a story,
and then if they persisted in their demand
he would endeavor to execute a song.—
When a boy he said he, took lessons in
singing, and on Sunday morning he went
into his father's garret to practice alone by
himself. When in full play he was sud:
denly sent for by the old gentleman.
"This is pretty conduct," said the father,
"pretty employment for the ,son of pious
parents, to be sawing boards on the Sabbath
morning loud enough, to be heard by all the
neighbors. Sit down, and
s take your
book." The young man was excused from
singing the 'Proposed song.
TliE CAT AND THE MOUSE.-33 good
as ff it were Xsop.- 7 The Nantucket Is
lander says the folloWing story was told by
a reformed inebriate as an apology for
much of the folly of drunkards:
"A mouse running about a brewery,
happening to fall-into a vat of beer, was in
imminent of drowning, and appealed
to a cat to help him out. The cat replied :
it is a foolish request, for as soon as I get
you out I shall cat you. The mouse re
plied, that fate would be better than to be
drowned in beer. - The cat lifted him out,
but the fumes of the beer caused: puss to
sneeze, and the mouse took refuge in his
hole. The cat called on the mouse to come
out, "You, sir, did you not promise,me that
I should eat you?' "Ah," replied mousy,
"but yOu know I was in liquor at the time."
A LAND OF LIBERTV.—An Irishman
who had left his native country mid cnnelit
4411 UOyhMil i n Alllcrica, because it was a
land of liberty, was attacked on his first ar
rival in December, by a furious mastiff.—
He stooped to pick up a stone- to defend
himself, but found it frozen tight. •
"By my snwl," says Pat, "now is not
this a swate land of liberty, where the dogs
arc let loose and stones arc tied fast?
KILL OR CURE.—“Toin, a word with
you." "He quick then, for I'm in a hur
ry." What did you give your sick horse
t'other day?" '".A. pint o' turpentine."-
-John hurries home, and adMinisters the
same dose to a favorite hunter, which,
strange to say, drops off defunct in half an
hour. His opinion of his friend Tom's
veterinary ability is somewhat staggered.
He meets him the next day. "Well, Tom!"
"Well, John, what is it ?"• "I gave my
horse a pint o' turpentine, and it killed him
as dead as Julius Caesar." "Sis't dit!
mine."
'T'HINK'S HE WON'T ENLIST.—The edi
tor of the Weekly Messenger, published at
Exeter,N. H. says that ever since the is
suing o the - Proclamation of Gov. Steele
his mind has been exceedingly harrassed
with the question, whether or not he should
enlist. He had dreamed of honor and
glory, but looking upow,his wife and little
ones, he concluded to o'remaiu at home and
print newspapers. " , A wise resolution.
A very singular transaction has taken
place at Frankfort, Ky. ,So singular in
deed; as to be without a parallel in this
country we believe. At the June term, of
Franklin county court ln 1845, the justices
removed the jailer and appointed another.
The displaced man, with the aid of friends,
took an appeal from this action of
,the coun
ty Court up to the. Court of Appeals which,
after a hearing, issued its mandate direct
ing his restoration. This the County
Court refused to do, and the Justices, live
in number, were cited to appear before
the Court of Appeal, to show cause why
they did not enter and carry into effect the
mandate sent to them, and the five refusing
to appear, they. were thrown- into prison.
What will be the finale of the matter ..we
cannot say. The Legislature has interfered
in the matter; and will settleit of course.;

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1846.
The editor of the Y Tribune writing from
Wu4hington tells the following anecdote, which
has been heretofore referred to but not with such
ininutenes
Speaking of 54 40, an anecdote 'is cur
rent in political circles here whiCh is not
so well told in the newspaper version, and
which can only be appreciated by those
who know the ardent and intrepid subject
of it. As the unwritten story goes, Sena
tor H who iwamong the most reso
lute and honest of the 54 40s, hearing ug
ly rumors that Mr. Polk was 'caving on
the Oregon Question, resolved to go up
and tell him plainly that he must stand
straight up to the line of 54 40 or he would
'be put where 'the hand of resurrection
could never reach him.' So resolved, he
walked up to and into the Palace, and
deeming all formalities needless strode
straight to the President's private room.—
As he stepped familiarly in, what was his
amazement to see there the President in
close consultation with Messrs. Calhoun,
Lewis, Haywood, N. C. and two or three
members of the Cabinet.. The 54 40 Sen
ator stood transfixed . a moment, And at
length found voice to exclaim, The. COll7l
- sold, by—." Without farther sal
utation or waiting to receive any he whirl
ed on his heel, and was oil in au instant.. I
think he has not been at the White House
since.
A NEC D 071: OF GEN EnAL TA FLOM—A COMM.
pomlent of the Pennsylvania Inquirer relates the
following anecdote of the commander of the "Ar
tily of Invasion :''
"This motility , I heard a little incident
respecting Gen. Taylor, which, at the pres
ent time, will be interesting. During the
Florida campaign, a certain • young officer,
after receiving his commission, was or
dered to join the army in that quarter.—
Ilis first duty was of course to report him
self to Gen. Taylor. After a very tedious
journey, however, through the woods, our
officer arrived at'a small shanty called a
tavern, about 50 miles from head quarters
where he thought proper to stay three days.
There were only two visitors there, besides
himself. One of them, on oldish, shabby
looking man; with a black hat, minus a
part of the crown, and a piece of twine
for a ribband, was very inquisitive, and a
mong othei• things, asked our officer, what
excuse he intended to make for his delay
in reporting himself to the General.
'o,' said the Officer; 'they say Taylor is
a very easy old soul, and I can 412 C;IST -""".
linaii Werner,'
,
going to bed that night, the officer
asked the landlord who that impudent, in
quisitive old fellow was? , Why,'• said the
host, 'don't you know Gen. Taylor?' A
bout an hour afterwards, at midnight, the
tramp of a horse's feet was heard, making
large tracks towards head quarters."
THE LICENSE QUESTION IN PENNSTL
VANIA.—The citizens of New York State
have just decided in a majority of the
towns and counties to grant no licenses to
sell intoxicating drinks. The same ques
tion is tif be decided in Pennsylvania, for
at the last session of the Legislature a bill
Nims passed, giving to the citizens of the
following counties the right to vote for or
against license's, at the annual election for
constables and other township officers :
Chester, Susquehanna, Wyoming, Butler,
Erie, Delaware Tioga, Bradford, Craw
ford, McKean, Elk, Warren, Fayette, Al
legheny, Mercer, Clearfield, Washington,
Beaver, and the township and Borough of
Mt. Pleasant in the county of Wayne, and
the boreugh of Lewisburg, in Uuipn coun
ty. There is no doubt from the wide
spread feeling in favor of the temperance
cause, that the result in these counties will
be the same as in New York. . .
WIIAT rt. CosTs.—Benjamin F. Butler,
Esq., late Attorney General of the U. S.,
has computed that the loss to the U. States
from the use of intoxicating drinks, 'is one
hundred and 'fifty millions of dollars annu
ally ; portion of the State of N., y:.eight
een millions. The Mil. Mr. EVerett, late
Minister to Great Britain, computes that
the use. of alcoholic beverages has cost the
U. States, directly, in ten years, ,000,-
000,000 ; has bitrned or otherwise destroy
ed ss,ooo,ooo'more di property ; has de
stroyed three hundred thousand lives; sent
one hundred and fifty thousand persons to
our prisons, and one hundredthousend chil
dren to the poor house ;, has caused fifteen
hundred murders, two thonsand suicides ;
and has bequeathed to the country, one
million of orphan children

An extract from the office of the Lex
ington Express, - rFceived by the Southern
.mail,_.brings important intelligence from
Santa Fe. It states that Mr. Houck had
arrived at Independence, Missouri, from
Santa Fe having made the trip in twenty
days. He is said to haVe brought intelli
gence that the authorities at Santa Fe were
fortifying that city. In addition to 2000
men then under arms, the Governor had
made a requisition for 5000 more from
Chihuahua. Every third man in Santa
IFe and its vicinity was to be drafted to
bear arms in its defence, and provisions
were being laid in as preparations for a
seige.
Mr. Amick, it is added, expresses the
opinion that Col. Kearney ought not to

number of wagons, loaded with provisions
and aninnition, have already started on
their way across the prairies. Col. Kear
ney intends to send them ahead as fast as

dragoons have taken up their line of march.

PATRIOTIC GERMAN'S IN TENAS.—Among
the many pleasing incidents of patriotism
exhibited in the ;ewer excitement," the
conduct of a large number of German emiL.

the cows,) she seized one of the cows by
the tail, and began amusing herself by sep

who had repeatedly warned her to desist
went in with the milk, leaving the child
thus occupied, and,on looking out immedi

child after her with fearful speed. She
ran to the rescue and seized by the feet the
child—whose neck was grasped in a noose,
formed of the hairs in the cow's tail,—and
began to difig with all her might, but Could
neither liberate the child nor stop the cow
