[er, , Isieath the stars and the stripes se: \ them gath- From the mountain, the plain, and the sea, And their shouts rent the blue vaults of ether, die on the field or are free ! Chorns:—" We die on the field or are free, We die on the field or are : free, And their shouts rent the blue vaults of ether, We die on the field or are free ! The memory be cherished forever, Of the martyrs who fell en the field, [er Who swore that their heart-strings should sev- Ere to Tyranny's mandates they'd yield, Oh ! sacred the spot where they perished, And green may their graves ever be, And age after age shall be cherished That flag that caved over the free ! The heroes have gone to their slumber, And silent and peaceful they lie ; While the stars, sliil increasing in number, Like a wave seem to miiror the sky— And-high over the land, and on ocean, In vict'ry it streams far and wide, Till our ]marts seem to burst with emotion, As we gaze on the banner with pride. Whcre'er dash the wild waves of ocean, Wherever its dark waters divide, Where the storm bird fortellsits commotion, There floats out our banner in pride— On mountain top, plain or in valley, Wherever a footstep may be, The hosts of Columbia cloth rally, And shout for the flag of the free ! Oh brethren, say, SAY, 'would ye sever, The bond once cemented in gore? Would ye share that proud banner? Oh never! Till Time and its trials are o'er,. Beneath its broad folds—and xo other— When discord and madness shall flee, • Let us rally, each man as a brother, And shout for the Flag of the Free! BANK. BILL PASSED.—The Senate pass ed Ole bill which had been reported from the Committee on Banks, removing the penalties incurred by a suspension of specie payments, and requiring all banks to resume on or before the first day of June next, and to pay into the State Treasury one-quarter per cent. upon their Capitol stock as a punishment for their violation of the law. These provisions are only applicable to such banks as sus pended since last November. As quite a number of banks deny that_ they ever suspended specie payments, a provision was inserted in the act whereby the Au ditor General will be enabled to ascer tain the facts in those cases where it is suspected that banks seek to evade the payment of the special tax upon their capital stock upon the allegation that they never suspended. ENFORCE THE. BIRD LAWS.—The Legis latures of several States 'have enacted stringent game laws for the protection of animals, birds, and fish, and it becomes farmers particularly.to see that they are strictly enforced, as far as pertains to birds. Scientific men of high authority very generally agree that the alarming increase of destructive insects, which cause the loss of so much giain and fruit, is mainly in consequence of the whole sale slaughter of their natural enemies, the birds, that had previously kept them in due bounds. Let every cultivator post conspicuous notices upon his farm, forbidding all persons to enter the fields with a gun, under penalty for tresspass. This may be done, and the offenders punished, where.no game laws exist.— Let, every bird murderer be dealt with rigorously. eir The Norfolk Day Book says: "A gentleman an Ferry Point, some time back bet a twenty-five dollar over coat that he could swallow a mouse ; the bet was accepted, the mouse produced, and down it went, in a style that would have shamed a Chinaman and done credit to a Chinese juggler. The loser then offer ed to bet $lOO that mouse-swallower could not swallow a cat, but the bet was declined. The swallowing of the mouse is as true as it is strange." WC. B. Crook, an old Whig, of Alex andria, and vouched for by the Alexan dria Gazette as a Whig, and• a true Vir ginian, has been appointed as Post-office route agent, and compelled to promise his resignation to a committee at Lynch burg. He stayed in the mail car all night at Lynchburg to avoid. personal tviolence. If the government sends the he mails on this route. he reafter it will be at the expense of the national honor. i&-Wit is the most dangerous talent one can, possess. It must be guarded with great . discretion and good-nature, otherwise it will create you many ene mies ; it is perfectly consistent with softnesi and delicacy; yet they are sel_ dom found united. Ter - rn - s---CD3ao Dollar a 'Year_ LOVE, JEALOUSY AND RUI th There have lately been develop Buffalo the particulars of one of saddest histories of love and suffer which haS ever come under our noti The story is briefly as follows: 11 A young lady, resident of the south Western portion of New York State, be. came betrothed to a young villager. The engagement had lasted through two years of unbroken affection when a new visitor to the place,--a middle aged man —agent of an eastern agricultural firm, became introduced to the lady, and won her esteem by his dignified and intelli gent conversation so as to finally become acknowledged as a permanture acquain tance. His attentions became disagree able to the lover of the lady, who re quested her to discourage them, which she mildly, though firmly refused to do, adducing the superior age and courteous deportment of the stranger as her exL case. Finally, the young man, meeting his mistress in a carriage with the agent, asked her to alight and walk with him, a discourtesy to her present cavalier which.she would not submit to, and pro ceeded on her ride. The young man, in a fit of disappoint ment and desperation, returned home, accumulated a few necessaries, and left the same day for Buffalo, vowing never to return. In the meantime his be trothed, hearing of his absence, on her return, was almost maddened by regret and remorse. On the . same night she fled from, her home, and followed the tract of her lover.—She reached the city on the ensuing morning, almost destitute of means, ignorant of her course, and without a single , acquaintance in the river of faces which surged on every side. She spent—poor, tender hearted, persevering soul—nearly three days in constant but hopeless pursuit of her lost idol, wandering in her search through the streets, into offices, and even extending her simple, fruitless inquiries to the doors of dwelling.houses; never finding a single trace of him she sought, per severiug.even in despair. The end of all this was terrible. She was ensnared by the -111m1storm that has drawn so many waifs like her into its awful vor tex, and lost, like her myriad sisters, in its depths. Her parents in time search ed for their love as she had searched for hers, found her in helpless wickedness, and took her back, and home. And this, very lately. A letter had come to the village soon after she left, from her lover, saying that he had gone west from Ruffalo; which accounts for all. He knows the sequel now, reproaches himself for all, but will not, dare not, as he says, though he loves her still, go back to gaze upon the ruin which lie as cribes to his own wild temper. - A SKELETON STORY.—There is a very strange story current in Kittaning just now, in which it. is related that a farmer named Books, residing in one of the ad jacent townships, has become suddenly rich through the discovery certain buried treasure, with the existence of which he became acquainted in the following sin gular manner. While digging a hole for a fence post one day, he struck upon a hollow substance ; which he afterward discovered to be the skull of a human being. being a gentleman of weak nerve, the sight at first a4aled him, but re suming his labor he succeeded in digging out the entire skull, beneath which he found a brass kettle containing some beads and other relics, and also a small box, within, which he found a paper on which were words written in the French language. This writing he afterwards took to Freeport, and had it translated by the - Catholic priest then residing there. It stated arnbOg . other things that the deceased fortneclY - resided it Le Bre-if, in Erie county; and that certain treasures .of which. he was . poisessed were buried at a particular place in that loca.lity. Shortly after this, Mr. !leeks absented himself from his family, and was not heard of inlatemeighborhood for some time. EloweVer, - - one pleasant morning he returned, enjoying the very best health, and has ever since been in the enjoyment of such quantities of mon ey as to lead his neighbors to infer that he : availed himself of the information conveyed by the mysterious writing, and has become poss.essed•nf the wealth of the defuncl Fkoithan. *The story is related by a gentlem a n of undoubted veracity, who-is ,acquainted with Mr. Ilooks and his circumstances, and avers that the facts are _substantially true as we have stated them.

HONOR TO GREAT - MEN'S RELATIVES.— A paragraph has been going the rounds of the papers stating that a sister of Robert Fulton was an inmate of the poor-house of a town in Pennsylvania. Upon seeing this, Mr. Chas. F. Morton, of Mortonville, New York, whose father had been an intimate friend of Fulton's, wrote to the place named, requesting in formation, with a view to the immediate raising of a fund for the' relief of any such relative. Mr. Morton sends us the fol lowing copy of the spirited reply : STROUDSBURG, Monroe CO., Pa., August 30th, 1859. "DEAR SIR : Yours of the 23d inst., directed to the superintendent of the Monroe county poor-house, Pennsylva nia, is received. There is a mistake in the printer somewhere. We have no 'poor-house' in Monroe county, conse quently we have no superintendent of such an institution. Our postmaster handed the letter to me, and requested • me to answer it. • "1 recollect reading the same intelli gence in some paper a few days ago, and I think it was in Monroe county, Virgin ia-=the printer may have taken 'Va.' for 'Pa.' There is no person by the name of Fulton in our county, and I assure you that if there were (within the limits of our county) a sister to the immortal Fulton, she never would become an in mate of a poor-house ! She would be taken into one of our best families, and treated as a sister. Respectfully yours, M. H. DREHER "C. F. MORTON, Esq." This is a creditable expression of Penn sylvania spirit, and it accords well with what we read of the feeling of the Quaker State in a recent paper. It ran thus : HONORS TO DR. FRANKLIN'S DAUGHTER "When, Miss Sallie Franklin, the only daughter of the great printer, was mar ried to Mr. Richard Bache, in Philadel phia, in 1767, all the shipping in the har bor*displayed their colors on the happy occasion."—Home Journal. QUIT THAT. Quit what? Quit tel ling your 'innocent, confiding, trembling children about ghosts and hobgoblins. You are throwing a sorrow upon young hearts that will, cling there through life. How many mothers there are who quiet their children by saying, "The bugaboos will come and ,take you off—come old niggar—come ia, will you hush up this minute ?" The poor child belives all its mother tells it, and why shouldn't it? It ought to belive. That is its filial duty. The sobing, fluttering heart is gaited, but not comforted. Those tear fuleyes close in a sleep of terror; a weary, broken rest follows; the child dreams, but oh, who can tell the sadness of a child while it dreams in a sleep frightened upon it by alarms of all that is terrible and repulsive. Sucb inhu man treatment endangers the mind—the intellect. Mothers, beware! See that no servant or nurse, or older brother or sister drives arrows of grief to the very soul of your child. A sorrow early planted and watered by fears will bring forth a harvest of bitterness and despair. How common it is to teach children to fear unseen dangers at nightfall! The peaceful night, so full of sweetness, and night that brings the honeyed drops of dew, to bless the Bowers and refresh the leaves, the night that brings rest to the weary, this dearest time. of all is to be made terrible to children. What wickedness? Why,, it is blasphemy to make little ones belive that God forgets them, and sends tormentors to trouble them in the silent watches of the night. Parents, think of this, see that yours hear no ghostly lessons. See that they are taught' to love.the ever present Sa viour, and honor his ever blessed name. How heavenly the teachings of that fa milar hymn, when breathed from a true mother's soul over a sleeping child: "Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber, Holy angly guard thy bed!" er Women often fancy themselves to be in love when they are not. The love of being loved, fondness of flattery, the pleasure of giving pain to a rival, and a passion for novelty and excitement--are frequently mistaken for something far better and holier, till marriage disen chants the fair self-deceiver, and Ipaies her astonished at her Own indifference and the evaporation of her romantic fan cies. arPeople•.talk about the equality of the sexes—they are not equal. The si lent smile of a sensible, loving woman, will vanquish ten men. The prospect of the Peach,Crop of New Jersey is reported as a very prom- ising one
