To hold and trim the torch of Truth And wave it o'er the darkened earth; To w.y thle.yearning heart of yonth, And give the earnest thought its birti; Abroad upon thy wing to fly. Froni off thy never-resting wing. Upon the crowds that blindly grope In blank despair, a spray of hope, This is thy mission to thy kind. Thou mighty Mercury of Mind. % "hat though thy torch be often fed From fautes where falsehood sits enshrined; And'poison mingles with the bread. Thou givest to the hungered miod; What though the press pro'lific teems With idle trash and skeptic dreams; Give open field, and humbly wait. 'Till thou shalt see their final fate, Truth needs to aid her giant blows, No vantage ground above her foes. The patient scribe struck long ago Upon his slowly yieldinag race, And iron custom felt the blo'w, And aft'er years its mark could trace, Think not that thou shalt leave behind Upon the Protean pubhin mind The image that thy choice wotuld iMake--Z A shape unknowvn to thee 'twill take But strike l' thy arm shall help to~ mould This mental mass no longer cold. Who sent the forth ? Thon' herald rny Of dawning brightness, which so soon fls tadg~ht us that was far from day, Which boasting Athens thought was' noon ! Was it from Fautstuas' brain alone Thou had'st tbj being? Hast thou grown In skill so wise, in strength so great. To sport wvitb'fot or sway the state? I see thy brighitening ath. it tends From igher sourtotnobler ends. Thou art the child of Him tho-bri~nga Fromt man's device His own decrce: A minister of holy things H is providence will make of thee. The Gospel Angel. far and wide O'er earth will find thee at his side. And, while lhe sends in cadence clear His message to the heedless ear, Thine is a missing from on high. To bald it to the steadfast eye. Then speed the Press! It is the heart Frain whieb the mental pulse is fed; Then speed the Presat Its throbbings dart Where mall would else be cold and dead.

DIGNITY OF MECHANIC ART. Men talk about the dignity of Mechanic Art. and write about it, who never feel, and never have felt it; who have just sense enough to see, and that hut coldly. that there is a truth in educated labor, and that to keep down the artisan, they must mag nify the art. Out of respect to themselves, they lie in respect to that, and chuckle that their hypocrisy answers its end-that of keeping down by a few hollow, but honiod words, a spirit, that if it should rise, would sweep away their exclusivism and scatter to the wiinds of heaven. And it does answer its end-for they swim on the surface of society, while the ear-tickled mechanicgrovels contedly in the mire of its bed, peeping now and then timidly up from out the filth in which he suffbcates and crawls, at-the glitter and whirl that sparkles (above hint, and in which, if he had the spirit of. any hut a kennelled hound, he would demand and take a right ful place. God's image was- never iucar nated in a nobler form that. that of a irue mechanic-and for such a being to creep and cower around the foot of respectabili ty's ladder, when he ought to plant him self upon the topmost round, and see none. above him but the Master Mechanic of the Universe, is treason to justice, decency and common sense ! Yet thefe tio sits and crooches, knawing his hudgry bone or crust, and looking up piteously at inter vals, to beg, as now, with it sniffling whine, for the restoration of some petty pecuniary privilege, of which he has been but recently robbed, when he ought to stand erect in the figure and attitude of freedom and equality, and assert and vin dicate his rights in the face of earth and heaven, fnr the honor and dignity of his art, if not of his nature! And what is the dignily of his art? Why, all the progress that man has made, from the earliest and lowest stage of savage barbarism and bes tiality, to the enlightened refinement anid civilization of the forty-third year of the uinotcerrth century,has been the result :f its work. Tdkb from the earth ita achievements, and there would be literal. ally nothing left but desert sedl and land, a few human brutes' possessed of a few maxims of government and morals, a few sounds of speech, a few simple elements of science, a few vague traditions, and a few notesof music.-andi the lesser orders of animated being, who are God's creatures, and not the work of,another, It is the pe culiar providence of5Icchanic Art to re alize and conserve every good or beautiful thought that roast'N apprehends or genius conceives. and but for its agency, the thick gloom of eternal night had hung heavy on the world -of mind and matter from creation's dawn to the death of Na ture. City and village, temple and altar, pntacc and prison. and every thing in short, of use or ornament, from a needle to a navy, are the products of its potency. Without it, the Law. midgit seize, bbt could net hold its victim, Finance might gather, but could not ;secure its treasures, Com merce could not flourish or even exist. The man -of God for the dome beneath which he stands, for evert the sto'red vol ume, the word of Truth from which he reads, owes to it the debt of having made. War could not launch its thunders, nor Peace weave its garlands but by its per mission. Neither soil nor sea could be ploughed without i -it has, smoothed, enriched, adorned and civilised the world. What is the dignity of Mechanic Art ! Why, it transcends the embraces of all othier dignities, save the god-gift of the mind, atid in thits ittias atn inheritance of birthright. Such is the di'ntti of Mechanic Art of A-hich the operatve"-mechanie is the rep resentative and erndiement. Has lie then no right, but toe kicked into the ketinel ? htas lie no .rivilege hut tn be tratpled on ? hans he ioclaim but to be dointemned? It wolf afmost sfmso!

It is asser ted that mechamnics are held, in as high es teem, and occupy as promitient a place as any other members of cotnmunity;- but this is the'merest cant of' doi.ltyrnny, and in ay, but d' rpec ltiyd'poiht of View, is aS foul a falsehood as any wif h wrhich cunning ever'glbsse~ an enormity. They are yet as they have been for ages; and as they will be til[kChbst's coming il they do not cease tb lnok up and hmok around, if they do nocaiito themselves, itnsted of letting otl5iT'acr for them, the despised, contomned, aliosed, ant scorned of all the pseudo fashionable, re fined, and genteel, who constitute the up per classes, from having usurped and kep the upper hand of them in all that relate: to social position and bidial madagement Nay, more, their civil -ights are withhelk from them, and kept in obeyance, and it they will be until they are wrested baclt by the strong hand of independent self respect. In this State there are some ten thousand lawyers, and above one hundred and forty thousand mechanics. Nowi by our democratic scheme of government, founded upon the preponderance of num bers, the influence of mechanics in legisla tion, ought to be as fourteen to one, against that of lawyers, yet the latter procure what statiles itiey please, to be enacted, and the former-none! The one, ais authority by law, to shut up his debtor in a dun geen, and the other is denied even a lieu apon his own labor! So, too, in a less de gree, perhaps, of otfiet classes. Mer chants, dealers, monopolists, add fioan ciers, find it infinitely easierii procure the passageof many laws fai- their peculiar benefit, than mechanics do a single tte for theirs. There is a monstrous injaustice in this. It proves that the dignity of Me chanic Art is not regarded as it should be that the mechanic is despised, conteined, end scorned as he truly is, and as he dp serves to be, while he sticks to the mire anti dirt of hit meanriess; sto6pin, io le scousged, and yielding to be trodden un de'r lout; while he is eintent to beg with sneaking ajnbjcaancy for a crust, when lie ought to demand and take the whole loaf by virtue of his own right, by the maqli ness of his own nature. The crawler dd serves.to be sneered at-a bold flight com pels rdspect.-Western Lit. Messenger. DiATN OF CROCKETT. The fellowing is a graphic sketch ofihe last mottients of a brave man: Col. Crockett wounded and closely pur sued by a' number of the enemy, retreated into the church, felling them as they ap proached: He stationed himself in a niche, in the corner. determined to face the roo to the last, and sell his life dearly; with his rifle, and a superabundance of side arms, hebhewed and shot them down with the same awful certainly that was want to chdraeterke his indomitable spirit. His position rendered access to him utterly im possible, ecxcept by a direct and exposed in.fro t..; and after some eight or ten of tbi wete-~aid before him a feeliig of awe seemed to seize hold of these assail ants. One of thain who could speak a little broken English, probably preferring to have the signal honor of capturing so noble a specimen of American valor, to present to his dread master" said to Crockett "Surrender!" "No! I am an American !" and as he spoke he sent a ball through the heart of a paralyzed foe. He appeared for a moment like a wounded Tiger, strengthened and bouyed by each additional wound; now hewing them down with his well tried sword-next dealing death with his fire arms. His person drenched with his own blood, his' ittength must soon yield to its loss. Yet such phy sical power wrought to the highest degree of excitement, can perform incredible pro digies. This was the last concentrated energy of a powerful man aroused, animat ed and guided by one of the noblest aYri butes of man--loe of liberty. lie knew for what his life about to be sacrificed ; that devastation and butchery would for low the iootsteps of his heartless rues, that women would be sacrificed to satiate the desires of the conqueror; and, feeling the holy inspiration of a dying patriot, he fought manfully till the loss of bslool and approach of death stayed his upraised arm; his rifle was broken to pieces,- his pistol fell to the floor, and nothing but his faith fl sword was left. In the agony of death, with a terrible grasp, he brought this last weapon upion the bead of the nearhst, as sailaint, and fel[ vietoriously -across his b~ody into the erms of death. Itn this cor ner of the church there were twen'ty-sia dead Mlexicatns; add no o'ther Amrericanm having fought or fallen at th'at point it i's considered beyond all rea'sbnable doubi that all of tlien'i felit by the hands o 'rTn. ne's's'ee's faioite ason- I Al w~ere now dead.

An EccentHe pnd WealthyBeggar.-It the parish church of Rollierhithe, a table has been erected to the memory of Jame Smith, who, is designated esquire. The career of this man has been a very extraor dinary one, arid it sihows how weslth it amassed by strict ebonomy., .He .was . beggar of no usual description, and; tii6ugl advanced in years, was one of the most activo of his class. His cootjnued rouicl of employment was through 210 parisies, and his icdustry was well rewarded.- He left an juitnense deal of property. the chief part for charitable purposes. Non.e out of the 210 parishes have been forgotten where he was kindly treated. To almost all he has left funds, but has carefully excluded from his will, all parochial, authorities in wiiose district he fancied he had been ne glected. To the parish of Rotherhithe, whiicli was always a favorite resting place of his, he has left property wlieli produces ?40 a year, and the interest of this money is thus disposed of. Upon each Sunday, after the sermon in the church, dne hun dred and twenty leaves of the value of 61 each are distributed among the poor old people of the parish, who thus profit by a BIeggar's wealth and gratitude, for no doubt many ofithe recipients of his bounty have given their mite to the rich eccentric men dicat.-English paper. Too much weight for age.-A man tp parently about fifty-five years of age. says the Cincinnati inquirer, was employed on Tuesday afternoon, carrying in coffee, in one of the large houses just above Sixth on Main street. atid in trying to do too much he overdid himself. One sack is a pretty good weight for a man to carry on his shoulder. lie boasted that he could carry two, and offered to bet the price of his day's labor thai le could accomplish it. The wager was taken by one of. his companions, and the two bags were put on. As soon as the second sack was ad ded to his ordinary. loiid, hq stn Bred a stip oi tvd and fell, and both sacks fell upon his h'reast, literally driving the breath out of his body. By the applications of brandyhand viplent rubbings, lie was restor ed iatu to life ins ubout half an hour, and he has probably learned such a lesson as will prevent hin from trying so foolish a trick again.
