Poetry.

MEMORY. A harp whose ev’ry chord unstrung,

A doubted treason proved ; A melody that once was sung

By lips that once were loved. A barque without an ore or sail,

Lost on a stormy sea; A dove that doth his mate bewail—

Like these, is memory. And oh, it is the spirit's well.

The only fount of truth. Whose ev’ry drop some tale can tell.

Of bright and buoyant youth. And as we traverse weary years

Of sorrow and of crime. We feed that fount with bitter tears,

Wept for the olden time. The sun doth dry the springs of earth,

With rays from summer's skies But feeling’s fountain knows no death,

Its current never dies.

The rills into the rivers flow, The rivers to the sea;

Months into years, and years into Life’s ocean—Memory.

At morn our little barque sets sail, Hope proudly mans its deck;

At eve, it drives before the gale, A wre .—a very wreck.

Our early youth's untainted soul, Our flrst love’s first regret—

These, storm-like, o’er Memory roll— O, who would not forget!

IKittcellany. From the tVheeling Gazette. COUSIN TILLY’S BET.

As soon asthellarrisburg Convention nom- inated the old Hero of Tippecanoe as a suita- ble person to preside over our beloved coun- try', Frank Smith looked around among his female friends to select a suitable individual to preside over his affections. Frank was a whole-souled whig, and reposed the utmost

.L._:__r

the convention. He was engaged in busi- ness and only declined taking a wife on ac- count of the uncertainty of the times. He kept an old dirty bachelor's hall, which was genteely furnished with every thing requisite for house-keeping. All that was wanted to complete his happiness was a beautiful com- panion, with a heart like his own. Frank was as fine a young fellow as ever rallied a- round the Tippecanoe flag, and might have cut quite a conspicuous figure in the world, if he had been less gifted with diffidence.

Frank soon came to a decision. He silent- ly nominated to the highest office in the gift of his affections, a young lady who was, in every particular, worthy of his noble heart. She was a distant family connection—a charm- ing cherry-cheeked, cheerful,capricious crea- ture of a cousin—about as old as himself and endowed with a proper share of that good common sense for which our fair country-wo- men are so eminently distinguished all over the world.

Frank Smith embarked enthusiastically in the double care of love and politics. He car- ried both with him, hand in hand; but it might have been observed that he conducted one cause with eloquent words, and the other with eloquent looks. He often told his fair cousin Tilly that Gen. Harrison was his choice for the highest office in the gift of the people, but never once did he tell her that she was his only choice for the highest poet in his own gift. But why should he hnvo told her so? She knew it as well as he did. Hiseycshad many a time told her a story too plainly to be misunderstood.

Frank had made at least a dozen attempts to disclose his feelings to his cousin, but his lips invariably refused to obey the prompt- ings of his heart.

One evening, just before the Presidential election, the two were together engag- ed, as every body else was. in talkintr over political matters—for Tilly, like all other prot^ ty girls, was a thorough-going Harrisonian.

‘Couzin Tilly,’ said Frank, ‘it is now cer- tain that Old Tip w ill be our next President. The people will once more be prosperous— business will revive, and those young men who have all along hesitated about changing their condition, may now just as well Took out for helpmates. What say you to that ]’

‘I certainly think’ said she, ‘that our sex should now, that this long contest is about to close, receive a share of their attentions.’

•Yes, cousin Tilly, Harrison is good for the next four years—that’s certain! You must have noticed, cousin Tillvg that I am

i heartily tired of thisconfoundeubachelor life; and from the attentions I have paid to you, the object of my affec-that is—the—the— that you are the—I wa9 about to—oh ! listen to the glorious Tippecanoe song in the streets!

For all the world seems turning round, For Tippecanoo and Tyler too !

Frank’s incoherent lovc-speecbes wore cut short, fortunately for him, by a crowd in the street singing lustily thejfamons song of‘Tip- pecanoe and Tyler too.’

‘lleally, cousin FraffiT,’ said Tilly, ‘you are not fit for any thing but to talk politics.’

‘I am afraid there is too much truth in what you say,’ replied Frank, ‘but still, 1 must in- sist that I tried my best to tell you my thoughts upon a different subject.’

‘And why did you not finish telling them]’ said his cousin archly.

‘Because I was too much of a blockhead, or a coward.’

‘A bold Tippecanoo soldier you are truly ! "S ou need not fear me, cousin Frank; I am only a woman.’

‘So you are, cousin; but I must confess that I am the greatest coward on earth when 1 attempt to open my heart to you.’

‘Most astonishing,’ said Tilly. ,‘1‘A11,1V6yr ft11*5 tny cousin. You know

u we” I know you do—that I have long entertained a deep—what was I going tc

»*J W don’t believe Van will get more than six States at the outside.’

‘Cousin Frank, I shall have to put you in charge ofold Tip’s 'keepers’;’ you are going crazy.’ ,

*1 believe so myself. I am in a bad box, , I assure you, cousin Tilly; tell me how to get out of fthis confounded quandary. You know what I want to tell you. How shall I 1

say it!’ 1

‘Don’t know,’ said Tilly. j ‘Cousin,’ said Frank imploringly. <

‘Well.’ , •Do tell me.’ I •I’ll bet you that Harrison will be elected,’ a

said Tilly. *Oh, but I would bet that way myself,* re- ;

plied Frank. 1

•You wished me to help you out of your t

Jjuandary, cousin Frank. You must there- e ore take the bet.’ f

‘What do you want to bet,’ enquired Frank, a

‘Myself.’ a

‘Against what!* ? ‘Yourself.’ j 'But let me see,* said Frank, who was t

somewhat puzzled to understand the opera- b tion of the wager, ‘if I should lose, as I sure* u

ly will, how will it then be!* d ‘If you lose,’ said she, ‘I will win YOU : J

and if I lose, you will win ME. Either way ( will suit you, I suppose.’ d

•I see through it,’ exclaimed Frank, in an f ecstacy of joy. “Done, done, done—give me your hand—hurrah for Tip, Ty, and Til. a

Cousin you have done the business glorious- ly; lam happy.

The election camo and Harrison carried the 0

day. Of course cousin Tilly won the bet, n and cheerfully was it paid, and gracefully ti was it accepted. c

They celebrated old Tip’s election, a few n evenings ago, by a merry wedding. Joy d be with them. RORY. n -tl

HUMBUG. c

In the new play of “Money,” Bulwer has !^1 drawn a character which stands as a portrait ) c

for a large class of tali humbugs, known well on both sides of the Atlantic. Sir John Ve- 1

say thus unfolds a “part of his system.” P. Sir John—Every one thinks Sir John Ve- rj

sey a rich man.

Georgiana—And are you not papa? Sir John—Not a bitof it—all humbug,child

“—all humbug, upon my soul! As you haz- ilr ard a minnow to hook in a trout, so one gui- P nea thrown out with address is often the best '. bait for a hundred. There aro two rules in ^ life—First, Men are valued not for what they are, but what they seem to be. Secondly, if you have no merit or money of your own, you must trade on the merits and money of other people. My father won the title by services tc in the army, and died penniless. On the m strength of his services I got a pension of S £400 a year—on the strength of £400 a year ni I took credit for £800; on the strength of oi £800 a year I married your mother £10,000; pi I took credit for £40,000, and paid Dick Gos- tii sip three guineas a week to go about every pi where, calling me “Stingy Jack.” oi

Geo.—Ha! ha! A disagreeable nickname. A Sir John—But a valuable leputation.— w

When a man is called stingy, it is as much pi as callinghim rich; and when a man’s called oi rich, why he’s a man universaaly respected, hi On the strength of my respectability I whee- in died a constituency, changed my politics, re- di signed my seat to a minister, who, to a man Jt of such stake in tho country, could offer noth- T ing less in return than a patent office of b] £2000 a year. That’s the way to succeed in tii life.—Humbug, my dear! all humbug, upon de my soul! cc

—- d, CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP. m

The Portland Argus relates a case in which a

a Megger in that city received what he asked for, but not what he wished for: tj,

“A few days ago a full grown able-bodied ja man presented himself at the door of one of bi our citizens, and solicited the lady of tho tl house to give him two cents. She remarked ri

ted of them. ‘To buy a dose of castor oil, marm, was the reply, ‘for I feel dreadful C1 sick.’ q

“The lady had no cents, but she had plen- ai ty of oil and she prepared him a stiffdose.— ;c He tried hard to get excused from taking it, 'p but she was firm, he was a sick man, and it q must go down. The loafer found he was e; caught in his own trap, and where he meant c| to have a glass of liquor, he got a dose of B( physic; but, making a virtue of necessity, and with sundry wry faces, he gulped it down, „ and cleared. HeTl not call at that house a-

gain, we dare say.*’

iBirnam Wood.’—Shakspeare speaks of i ji Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane. The ; 0

Chicago American wishes that Barnam Wood ! a would como to that office, and pay up his 0 subscription. v

c

Consuming Smoke.—A Mr. Dempfel, a h German, has invented an apparatus, to be at- N tached to steamboats, for consuining smoke, v

and upon an inspection of his invention Gov- 1 ernment has ordered it to be tested in our steam vessels ofwar. The steamer Fulton, at the Navy Yard, is having her boilers adapted d to this invention, and should it prove success- r

ful, it will beyond doubt be adopted for all 2 our armed steamers. It will bo a great sav- ing in fuel and will of course avoid much dan- a

ger, as the sparks, as well as tho smoke, is intended to be consumed.—N. Y. Sun.

INDIGO. J A new discovery is said, by tho “Tndustri- r

cl Alsacicn,” to have been made, which if t the experiments which are now making prove 1 to be correct, is very important. It is said f that, by a certain chemical preparation or pro- J cess, indigo can be obtained from the saw- \ dust of the oak tree; and that the indigo thus obtained presents, upon analysis, all tho pro- 1 perties of the indigo from the tropics. The experiments are carried on in the neighbor- 1 hood ef Alskirch.

From the Lynchburg Virginian. VBL’SE or THE PARDONING POWER.

The Pennsylvania papers inform ns of a nost singular, and, as far as our knowledge ixtends, unprecedented exercise of the par- loning power, by the Governor of that Com- nonwealth ; by which, indeed, that functio- lary seems to have reversed the humane and ust maxim of the law, that persons accused if crime shall be deemed innocent until their ;uilt be proved, and to have assumed their ;uilt before trial, that he might anticipate and vert the moral as well as the legal conseq-

uences of an unfavorable verdict. Tho case i this :

The grand jury of Adams county found a rue bill against Messrs. Hutter & Cantine, ditors of a paper published at Harrisburg, >r a libel upon the citizens of Gettysburg, nd upon Mr. Thaddeus (Stevens particularly; nd a few days since, when the cause was ailed for trial, the counsel of the defendants, istead of pleading not guilty or attempting a efence, presented to the court a paper under ie broad seal of the State—yes, under the road teal, which seems to be potential c-

ough in courts of justice, though it may be ented by witlings in and out of the halls of egislation—giving a full and free pardon roin the Governor of Pennsylvania to the in- ividuals above named, not only for the al- •ged offence, but, with an expansiveness of berality perfectly original and unique, “for ll the libels published by them in Mams mnty, or elsewhere ! ! ” The Governor seems > tako it for granted that Mess.s. Hutter & -antinc are not only guilty of the specific (fence, but of othors, and so, like the econo- list of time who, to prevent the daily repeti- on of “grace before meat,” performed that sreinony over his year's supply, he detcr- lined to “lump it.” There is, however, one efectinthe parallel—As the Baltimore A- isrican suggests, it would have been doing ie thing completely, if, in addition to anti- rating and nullifying the functions of the idiciary in all cases that have heretofore oc- lrred, he had, like a Roman pontiff, extend- i indulgence to all the libels that these gen- amen may hereafter publish. It seems to i to be the most barefaced assumption of xecutive power that has ever occurred in iis country, if not in this age. If it is to be ceivcd as sound doctrine in Pennsylvania, e formalitics of judicial proceedings, in their cipient stages, should be deferred until the ensure of his Excellency can be ascertained, will at least save the time of the grand rie8. _m_

ABOLITION IUOT AT DAYTON.

For the last 2 or 3 weeks the city of Day- n has been the scene of confusion, riots and urder. '1 homas Morris, (ex-Van Buren, jnator,) from Ohio, and who was lately norai- ited as the abolition candidate for Governor that State, arrived at that place, and pro- ved to lecture in the Court-house. At the :

ne appointed, the indications of the crowd esent induced Morris toleave the houseand ■

ait the lecture. This was on Saturday.— i t some of the churches on Sunday, notice ! as given for a meeting of the anti-slavery ; ayer meeting at the house of Dr. Jewct, < Monday evening. A mob met to stop it; <

it the police prevented them from doing any jury while the meeting lasted—But imme- ately after the mob broke the windows of < wet’s house, and committed other outrages, lie mob then proceeded to a house occupied i

9ome negroes in the suburbs, on the plea \ at a white woman lodged there. This was mied by the inmates. They then commen- ] d searching the house. The inmates or- ired them out, but they refused to go. The 1 igroes then attacked them, and in the fight I'oung man named McCreary was killed, a- <

>ther named Davis badly wounded, and since ed, and several others wounded. Some of e negroes were arrested and committed to il. he house occupied by them has since len set fire to and destroyed. The mayor en increased the police, and by their unti- ng exertions, order has been restored.

There arc many amusing anecdotes in cir- ilation respecting the interviews between en. Harrison and Mr. Van Buren. They e certainly on very good terms, and crack kes freely at each other's expense. Un I hursday week, Mr. Van Buren returned en. Harrison’s call, and the weather being ctremely cold, conversation naturally turn- 1 upon it,*—when Gen. H. jocosely expres- d a wish that Mr. V. B. would improve it to I 1 the President’s ice-house, which Mr. V.B. >

uch amused, promised to do. ---i

.Silver Pilcher—Wo have had the pleasure seeing a beautiful silver pitcher made by ard & Larnont, 205 Arch st. for a number

’gentlemen of Newcastle county, Del. who -e about to present it to Gon. Leslie Combs, i Kentucky. The pitcher is ornamented ith rich chasing and well wrought histori- rl devices. The principal inscription nl- ides to the setvice of Gen. Combs in the N. Vestern campaign of 1812-13, and of his ad- ocacy of the claims of General Harrison in 8-10.-—Phil. North Amer.

The ship Levant, about to sail from Phlla- elphia for Liverpool, has on board 7,000 bar- ds of flour, engaged at the low freight of s.8d. The Susquehanna, to sail the 1st of larch, has already 2,000 barrels of flour en- aged, and a large quantity of Wheat.

f/* The “Joseph CCabella beautiful canal ackct boat of Messrs. Boyd, Kdmond & Jo’s, line, departed for Lynchburg Saturday lorning. This is the first packet boat that as been put upon the canal. She started oft landsomely, at a surprisingly quick pace, nd soon turned the last point from which iichmond could be seen. She walked the vater like a thing of life. The enterprising iroprietors will soon make additions to tho ine. They have procured experienced com- nanders, and their boats will be under the >est system for comfort and expedition.

A REMARKABLE DISCLOSURE. In 1836, a law was passed to allow the

President to employ a Clerk, at a salary of $1500, to sign his (the President’s,) name to the Land Patents, as that labor was purely i mechanical, and had become very onorons to the President. Mr. Adams stated, that du*- dnir his Administration the annual average of Patents, to which he affixed his signaturev was 30,000, that is, 95 per day, which has been greatly increased, and would, probably, at this time, average 75,000 annually. Con- sequently, it may be assumed, that the num- ber of Patents issued during Mr. VanBuren’s j Administration, have been 300,000.

A motion was made the other day by Mr. Andrews to strike out this allowance of $!,♦ 500 for a Clerk to discharge this duty,_ which was, after some remarks, withdrawn, probably inconsequence of the remarks of Mr. Adams, which went to show, very clear- ly, that it would be unsuitable to impose such a heavy, mechanical duty on the President of the United States. He had endured it as patiently as he could, but he should much sympathise with a President who should have more than double that amount of duty to perform.

In this discussion, Mr. Lincoln announced a very astounding fact, viz : that every patent which had been signed by this Clerk, for the last four years, was invalid by means of a clerical blunder ! The fact seemed not to be contradicted, and Mr. Lincoln stated that the only way to remedy this evil was to pass a special law to legalize those 300,000 deeds.

Another Disclosure—It transpired in this discussion, that the two important and prominent functionaries of the Land Office had been so long engaged in a dispute, carried on by a diplomatic correspondence a- cross the gallery of the public office—the dis- tance of a few feet—the whole amounting to a ponderous folio—as to have put back the ex- ecution of 60,000 of these patents, throwing over the largest fraction of a year’s toil in this department of the public service, on the com- ing administration.—NYAmer

The amount of certificates already issued is $6,857,161 03—remaining to be is- sued $335,027—Liabilities for subscription, fcc. $2,019,720 and guarantees $1,750,000.

Annual interest on certificates issued £400,840 16.

Of the $1,500,000 authorised to be guaran- eed for the James River and Kanawha, certi- icates have beon issued for $550,226 66, in iterling bonds, bearing 5 per cent intorest, tnd for $766,500, in Federal bonds, bearing > per cent interest, amounting together to i 1,316,726 66.

The commissioners appointed for the pur- lose of exploring and surveying the Boiinda- y line between thcStatcs of Maine and New Hampshire and the Britisii Provinces, have nado « partial Report including a full account >f their progress thus far. The Act directing ;he survey was not passed until the 20th of July, 1810, and although no time was lost in the appointment of commissioners, yet a con- siderable delay was caused by the refusal of two of the appointed to serve in the commis- sion. Tho commission as now constituted consists of Professor Ren wick, Major Gra- ham and Capt. Tolcott, with suitable compa- nies of engineers, &c. Operations were con- tinued till the 16lh of December, when the severity of the season compelled a cessation.

The survey has proceeded far enough to establish the fact that the line Tunning north from the monument at the source of "the St. Croix will pass about ono mile east of the eastern extremity of the base of the northcas- ternmost peak of Mars hill.

A permanent station was also erected at the position established on tho Aroostook heights, and a measurement made from it duo west to the experimental or exploring line of 1817, by which the party found itself 2,490 ft. to tho cast of that line.

With tho opening of the season, the opera- tions of the several parties into which the commission divided itself will he resumed ; and from the activity and indefatigable indus- try already exhibited in this preliminary ex- ploration, and the scientific skill of tho com- missioners, wo may expect a speedy and an accurate adjustment of the true boundary line according to tho fair meaning of the treaty of 1783. To the stipulations of that treaty our Government will adhere.—Ball. .Inert
