'"John Phoenix" in tho Ladies'' Oar. "John Phoeaix," tlie inimitable wit, tlui! tells an incident connected with a ride-or tMi New York Central Railroad. He re lates it in a letter to the Knickerbockei Magazine, and puts it on record to serve a? a caution to future innocent travelers. He says its?.

Has an orphan's eye met these pages ? one whom no parents' love d enfolds will grieve with me, as none but such c<m sorrow. What though glittering ^ gold and sparkling diamonds adorn, and llatterer's smooth tongued accents greet * you in every strain, there is an aching void r these cannot All, there is a bond of sympathy between us; wo will love each other bettor, you will read my story and forgivo o my weakness.

Or bids them onward press; L And if they pang a konnin wrung, } God help the fatherless." E> The two succeeding years, I resided with > Mr. Grey to whose guardianship father > Clayton left me ; his only child Clara had , been my first and only intimate friend at ) school; there was an air of dignity which j commanded respect together with an affee ? nonaic connmng disposition which made ^ her a favorite with nil. I had become hopej less in my search of Marion, and notwith* standing all that surrounded me to bring ) pleasure I was unhappy?Clara's sympathy . and Mr. Grey's reasoning only added to my wretchedness. I had strolled on the lawn ? to be alone, my thoughts busy with the : scenes that transpired two years before. IIow different froin the lowering clouds 5 and crashing elements was this calm evening ; on its breeze was borne Clara's soft voice mingling in harmony with the harp's mellow strains ; but its sweetness was not in unison with my reflections, and aloud I gave vent to the thoughts of my bosom : Oh, Marion art thou still alive ! to what = isle of the ocean shall I go to claim thee, or uoes my mamy jorm lie mouldering be- ! , neath the sod of some lonely valley, an1?! - shall thy sister know no kindred tie ! Oh, r my soul longs for a kindred spirit; one $ whose tongue breathes not unmeanning flattery ; one whose love would shield from f every frown! Can it be, such sadness fills the heart of one at whoso feet so many " bow. I sprang to my feet, the blood ' mounting to my cheek, for I knew the voice" of Henry Howard ; I know not why i his presence ever filled me with agitation , before him ; my usual self-possession van" ishcd, and I was subject to his will. Be ^ calm, 6aid he, and listen to me. I median* } ically resnmed my seat.?"You long for a s kindred spirit whose love would shield from ? every frown, let that bourne be mine; for | believe me, 'tis no flatterer's oath when I swear, by atl my honor holds sacred, I have | loved you long, deeming.j^one, 'if I should - love some bright particular star and wish to ' wed it.' But feelings must excuso my presumption which emboldens me to ask the hei\ ress of wealth, at whose shrine so many bow fO grant me the right to claim so great a K Measure as my own. Together'let us search earth's remotest lands for the brother you so c much mourn." f Where had fled my reason that such i language subdued me; I who had scorned - the love breathed in purer words, listened 1 to these of a demon, r It was destiny goad~ ed mo on! yea, it wa$t|atc ruled the unhap f py hour in which I becanrtf tlio affianced wife of llcnry Iloward.

I received from them all that the daughter of the aristocratic and wealthy Maj. Norton could have wished, and none knew that I was only his protege. My thoughts were ever busy in some plan to find my brother or sister, but what could I do. With this secret untold I married some months since Col. Clanton. and even now lie does not know but those from wliom lie received me were my real parents. Major Norton, recently deceased, has left me heiress of his wealth. I fear my husband's pride, I fear he will scorn me, in spite of Kis affection, to find the deception practiced on him. But write one word nnd assure mo I err not in supposing you my brother, and I will tell him all then, throw myself on his love for forgiveness?if ho repels from his bosom tho alms houso foundling, a brothel's arms will be open to embrace A long lost sister, MARY POOLE CLANTON. ATusftvUle, Tenn.% May 4, 1842. You cannot imagine my delight, he continued. On its reception I answered it immediately and in two weeks came on. On reaching Nashville, was told Col. Clanton had gone away suddenly, no ono knew why nor where. I told to every one our history, but was laughed at and called a maniac. Since then I have wandered like one in a dream. Three days ago I stopped in a little village, around the tavern were standing several gentlemen ; I, as usual, told my character and search, promising reward to any who could give information. One of the party came forward saying, he could without reward assist ine in my search. lie then told me he was Col. Clanton, the husband of the sister. A friend had tempted him to doubt how bitterly he had grieved her fate, even when ho thought her guilty?of his meetings with you at the forest Cabin, and reccntlv hearing vour < * a J history lio Lad started to visit Mary's grave, and to learn from you llic truth of the story.?"Oh, Ange, my little sister, I .cannot be with you long, my breath grows short. You will forgive Col. Clanton, even as I have, a nobler heart never throbbed than he possesses. In his care, I can leave our mother's Ange ; bury ine by Mary and come often and sit near us. Others must tell you the cause of my untimely death ; for him who took my life, for g^ld, I prxy earnestly God will forgive, even as ^ do. I have heard the devotion of your father Clayton and shall love to sleep boriflethim. Col. Clanton will tell you all; I have not breath or strength to say niftfe. lias not the life of Ange Clayton been one of sorrow. Could one over whom so many storms have passed ever feel pleasure. It is strange how much the heart can bear and rise above it, even more buoyant than before. It is true, from my window is visible the grave of a father I mourned to lose; a brother and sister, too, lie beneath tlie oak trees' shade, and memory brings the being whose baseness taughts^me how low God's crent urea could fall, but his hands took the life of a fello^r being and then his own. I can feel but thankful artd see, even in Marion's death, the interposition of Providence. Many years have flown and "time assuaged my youthful sorrows. Rose Bower is'again to me a happy home. Tlrt stranger of. the storm is master of the mansion where once qjood the forestCabin But passion has left him mild, forgiving and affectionate.

The sinootli surface of ilio silver winding river Charles is now frequently dotted with their long light clippers, crawling over '.lie water with their six oars like so many sixlegged caterpillars. Hardly any out-of-door exercise is more attractive atid heneficient to men than this. The fresh exhilaration of the free air and pleasant scenes through which the rowers on a river glide are worth a cart load of health "panaceas." It would be well if the youth of our city took more advantage of our water facilities fur pleasant exercise. The 4th of July regattas have turned the attention of some to it, and if it could l>e much increased the river Charles might become a fountain of life-giving vigor to our worn, hardthinking brains. In England, the Thames is dotted with the "fuur oars," and "six oarn," and the "pair of oars." as on fine evenings they skim the stream, cheered by the smile of beauty and the hurrahs of the interested spectators. But rowing is only one of the means of physical education at the disposal of.. Bostonians. Our glorious park of forty acres; tliat undulating "Common ; those towering trees," through whoso tracery you catch frequent beams from that western horizon which "opes to the sunset a gateway of gold this broad surface invites the early morning game of ball or the twilight game of cricket. Football used to be, "when we were boys together," a grand stimulant to all the powers of masculine development; and if blackened shin? and bruised heads sometimes broke the harmony of the sport, 'twas but a moment, and the glorious game rolled on. Mr. Webster once said of an eminent ^pgtonian, who is still living, that "it was a prodigious pitjr lie Had no single taste whose gratification would take him out of his hotair library into the open air." Webster's own massive mental wear could never have been manufactured except by a sound mind in a- sound- body, uineiia suna in corpore tano.n There has been some discussion lately about his using tobacco. He used it, but only for a very short season. But what he did use permnmentlv, as is well knowu, . was out-of-door exercise in every form. - Even horso-back riding, which was not peculiarly favorable to his habit of body, was nevertheless quite a favorite exercise with him, even till an advanced period of life. Another of our Massachusetts great men, John Quincy Adams, used to take very long walks before breakfast, when ho was in Congress, and in* the dead of winter would have the ice of > the Potomac cut to enjoy his daily river batch. Frederick the Great used to declare- that "nature evidently intended mankind for pos : tiilions^ because she had'made exercise, so indispensable to the race* but Iter onlySirustake was that plie had not arranged to hav^ i, oien born on horseback. ?

V jVaahL'illc Journal of Medicine, IIkxiiy Clay's Sox, trrk Democratic Candidate for Congkess in Ashland yiSTiticT, Kv.?Some days since, in speaking of tho course of political event*, Vve incidentally remarked that if Henry Clay were now living, he would co-operate with the Democratic party. This was indignantly denied by some of the Republican paI pers, accompanied with tho usual amount | of billingsgate. And yet we were right. | This is proved,? * * . 1. By Ilenry Clay's public declaration in 1850, and by a card signed by Iiim, in common with many other Whig members of Congress, in the same year, to the effect Uiat if ever parties should ^ake such a turn that one should become sectional, and the other conservative and national, he would So for the latter, by whatever name it luigbt e called. We have not the dechtratidff or 'card before us, but this is the Bubetance of both. Well precisely that contingency lias since occurred, and now exists. Therefore we say that if Henry Clay >yere now alive, he would co-operate with the Democratic party. 2. The same tiling is -indicated by the faty.that a large portion of his political friends, including those who were nearest in communion and sympathy with him, have joined the Democratic party. It is unnecessary to present proof on this liead. 3^Because all of Mr. Clay's immediate family, with a single exception, have gone over to the Democrats, or.at least supported Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. James B. Clay, who lias inherited a large share of liis futber'8 talents, was one of the most active and efficient speakers in support of Mr. Buchanan during the Presidential cam paign, and is now the Democratic Candidate for Congress in Ashland district, Ky. He will doubtless bo elected. Tlio Washington Union say?, "The whole country will learn with the highest satisfaction that lie has beeif-iioii'inated by the Democrats." To show exactly where this gentleman stands on political" questions, or rather, where he did stand on the tith of July last, we copv aisehtence or two from a letter Of that daNripublislied over his signature r;1n the Kentucky Statesman, as follows : "I expect to cast my vote fur that crttodidate who, in my opinion, may have the I ..1 A- J- f--. *1- 1* ? * ' '? uuai viiniii'o iu ueioni mo canuiuuie OI Hie Black Republican party; and, as at present advised, I think Mr. Buchanan lias the best chance to do so.
