Pure ! as thy own bright purity, Thou tildest not iniquity;. Buuimoral strength and vigor come W'en thy cool surface laves the tongue. Sparkling spirit of ths mountain! Gushing dew of mossy fountain!

What have gay friends to do with thosc . Who press the couch of pain ? And HE is rack'd with mortal throes; He'll neverspleak again. .Extraordinary Narraime.-T he Port Hope (Canada) Gazette says: "Mr. -Peter Moffat, who has for several years *been. in the habit of teaming between Peterboro,' this 'place and Coburg, states that a team of horses which cost him ?75 were missing on' he morning of the 6th of September, '1842, After fruitless search 'and' inquiries'ii'the neighborhood, imag ining they were stolen,Abe-stirted towards Toronto in-search of therb, ami from some account rec'eived on thie way, was induced to go or, as fir as 100 miles beyond Buffiso but iia vain, and'iafte'r six weeks pursuit he reinuettae. A day or two afteiwards observing-thbat 'the- crows and dogs were fiequenting a thiet near his own barn, .he -earched ii, and tffere, in a strearm .diunovered b'oth his horses dead. As therei was but little water at the time, he sus pected -they~ had been poisened, and on opeing- them a~ substancef as found, nic. But the most singular part of my story remainsto be told. A person named C--b, ;wli died shortly afterwards ac knowledged on his death bed that he and another person naied C-- y, and one M-- y, (C -y, and M--y, be ing also teamsters,) had poisoned the team dnd Mr. Moffat states C-- b, on re turning home after the act found one of his own horses hanging at the rack or manager and soon after lost two cows, & that then he himself was taken ill and died and that C-y, who is said have lent himself to the others on tiis occasion, was subsequent. lyshot dead, in a broil, at Peterboro.' Tbiis does aq inscrutable Providenee, sooner or later, overtake the guilty, however secret or well devised their scheme may be for a season. The Curse of the Indian.-Thb Soneca ludians of New York have addressed a let ter to the Governor of Pennsylvania, in which they acknowledge the justice of the sentence and execution of Sanuel Mohawk who recently suffered death for a murder committed in Butler county, and deprecate any harsh inferences which might be dra wn in relation to the'charaeter of the tribe from 'he crime of one of its tncttbers, in con clusion they administer the following calm but severe rebuke to the "civilized socie ty. ,, "A nd whilst we feel no dispositin'a to cast any reflection upon any oue,.yet we must be permitted to express it as our opin ion, that ardent spirits was at least one of the causes of this dreadful crime coti'mit ted by Samuel Mohawk upon your ienple and that the article is made by-the whites 'and sold to our people, causing death to hundreds of our young men and squaws, whilst at the same time it hurts your peo ple, and prohibit them from selling any more to the Indians, and making then disgrace themselves; and request that the landlrods amongst your people, whenever an Indian calls for whiskey, to hold back his whiiskey bottle from the Indian's fingers, for he is better off without whiskey brandy, or any other spiritots liquors. Please to do this we pray you." The Tickling Trick.-Ou the day be fore the Mass Conventiou took l)lae', a crowd had assembled in one of the hotels in Baltimore, and the discourse turning upon pickpockets, a .gentleman present placed his hand upon has side pocket, said he kept his money there, and defied any one to steal it from him. A few moments. afterwards, this confident ge ntlaman felt a strange tickling in one of his ears. Taking his hand off the pocket containing his funds.' he commenced rubbing his ear to allay the titillntion, and just as he got through the operatiou.a friend came up and accolted him. At this moment lie felt a tickling in the region of the pocket, and placing his hand where his pocket book should have been, he found it not. He bad been tickle.] out of his vigilance and his pocket book at tho same time. On nvking a terrible noise, a police officer, who happened to. hear his boast a little while before, remarked with great cool ness-"e Why, my dear sir, the tickling trick is quite an old affair. The process is, fur one pickpocket to tickle the car with a straw, while a confederate obtains pos session of the 'dumnmy,' as at pocket book iscalled under such. circumstances." Election Joke.-At the recent election in this city, (seys the Worcester, Eng. Jour nal) the.vote ofa well known gentleman was challeuged by a young whipper-snap per, who officiate.d; -and who knew that the old gentleman differed in politics from him. - It is necessary for.you to swear that you have lived in this.ward tmore than ten days,?' .said the challetnger. " Why you know~that i have," replied the voter:; ",for mote thatn'ten niouths ago you came to tpy shops and purch'ased the lint you have on, and ncever paid for it yet." Dotw on Matrimony.-Dow, Jr., closes a sermon on kissing with the following. qiiainta'dvice, comprising all the essentials to wedded bliss: '*J want you my young sinners, to kiss and get -married, and then devote your tipmito morality and money making. Thenilet your homes be well provided with. such comforts and necessaries as piety, pickles, pots anid kettlejs, brushes. brooms,. tienevolence, bread, charity. cheese, crackers, faith, flour, affection, sin cerity, ontiutns, integrity, vinegar, virtue, wine and wisdom. Have all these always onhatid, and happiness wsill the with you. Don't drink nothiing istoricatiug-eat mod erately-go about business aller breskfast -lounge a little after dinner-char after tea, and kiss after quarreling ; and all the joy, the peace and the bliss the earth can af'ord, shall be yours, till the grave closes over you, and your spirits are borne to a brighter and happy world. Genius. gathering from Reality.-Tt has been said, "that wye need to stifler to learn to feel." And so it is, even in the sugges tions of men of'genius.-GSluck [the father of dramatic music] confessed that the con ception,. "the grohind tone" of the noblest passage in one of the nest operas, was the voice of the public which we beard at Vi enna crying~ to their Emperor for "Bread breadh!" Here the power of seizing and working into htarmony the out pourings from ihe heart of a nation, the utterance of their instincts, truer t han thteirrvenson, .the noise of~a multitude, (thme low muttered thunder of any voices) joined to an under current of revenge, madly growling a deep pass over the plaintive moans and wveeping of anflictin conl onl,. b cninedtd eln ecuted by a great poetic mind, andut rough master of his art. Such a man was Gluck, add Gluck's music will hearb.the the strictest analysis, and enrapture the most critical judgment. Iron Stairnay.-We had the gratifica tion yesterday of receiving another proof of the ingenuity of our Baltimore mechan ics, in the examination of a stsirway made of wrought and cast iron. It is so con structed as to take but little room, combin ing lightness of appearance with great strengthz. The carriages are of wrought iron, as is also the railing, with the excep tion of the uewells, or posts. which are of' cast iron the top being an oval cap of the same material. The brackets upon which the steps rest are of cast iron, while the steps themselves are of wood, firmly se cured to the brackets by two screws; in addition to the bannisters which pass through them. The bannisters are three quarter inch wrought iron bolts, and are secured underneath the brackets, through which they pass by iron nuts. The whole is an admirable improvement Upont the -great heavy a.lwkard stairw'ty generally used in the stores and warehouses of our merchants. It has been constructed in the store of Mr. Thomas Mackenzie, No. 178 Bnltintorostreet, where it can be examin ed by those desirous to examine it. It is the first of the kiud, we understand, ever made in this city. and is the work of Mr. I. Devaltin, well known as an artisan of the first class in his particular line of busi ness.-American. Pin Sticking.-A Boston papera tlas that the pin manufactory near Derby Con neeticut, has a contrivance forsticking pins in papers, which irquite narvelliie. jt takes iqEngland sixty females to stick in one day, by sunlight, ntnety packs. coni sisting of 302.460 pins; the same thing:is performed here in the same time bygge woman. Her sole occupiion is to ouf them a gafIon at a time, into a hoper, from: whence they come out alf deat.Iy arranged upon their several papers. The mechan ismn, by which ,h: labor of fifty-nine per sous is daily saved yet temnins a mystery io all but the inventor; and no person-but the single one who attends to it is, updn any pretext whatever, allowed to enter the room where it operates. *, important to. 'armers.-7At this sepsoit of the year there is.,generally a process going on in the manure heap,. the conse quence of which is the abst-action-by vol atilization, of the hest -and imost Valuable part of the manure ! This-ev'olution- is no thing more nor less than gaseous ammonia -a principle of great importance to the farmer, and which, as -it can easily be er.onomized, he should never suffer to escape. The strong affinity of this volatile pro= t'uet for sulphuric acid. is well knodin, and hence, by:spreading gypsum or plaste- of paris, ir.to -.whichs this principle largely enters. upon- the floor of our tercorary, war obtain a.solid compdund, wholly inoderous anid highly valiable as a food for plants. -Maine Cultivator. Cold Affusion tn Poisoning by Prussic Acid-At a meeting of English Chemists, held at Sunderland, Dr. Robinson made tha.e-Illowing experiment in. the presence of his colleagues. He took two dlibbits,. and poured on the tongues of each four drops of Prussic Acid. The effect was instantaneous. They fell down apparently dead. He now applied the antilote. Cold water, containing a mix-ture of saltpetre and common salt, was pored on ;heir heads and along the, spine. The fabbits were instantly ressiitated, and in a few minutes hopped about with thetr usual briskuess... .. This result wvas so remariable, thtn lN. Louyet, Pr'ofehsor of Chemistry at 13t us sels, desirous of verify ingittseperfect ac, cur-acy, repeated .,ther ciperiment as fol lows.

POLITICAL. [Br REQUEST . From the HamburgJournal.' TO OUR FRIENDS.1N S. CAROLINA. Having noticed two communications in the Edgefield Advertiser, of a late dap, over the signature of "Carolina,' calling on us for..an, tplanatioo of Mr. Clay's principles on several ni akeis.we igel dis posed to e~ipress them, in as few words. as possible, least ..we should be considered alarmed andntibwilling to sehd them forth boldly and. above board. We. are Over ready to divulge the principles of the man whom we look upon, at this juncture, as best calculated to fill the presidential. chair. To you we address ourself. Courtesy alone should have reminded "Carolina" that he ought to have presented himself to us in an original communication, and then have published his questions in every pa per in the Union, for aught we care. He has refused to come ont like a gallant knight, and break a lance with ue but shelters himself behind the press, and un der the guardiad arms of a faithful editor. All that we desired was, to know whom we were bound to answer ; yet this boon has been refused. The editor declines giving names; but assures us that the au thorof "Carolina" is a gentleman of high standing in society, of good moral char acter ; and if lie is not very- much mista ken, our private friend, athough-he may differ with us in politics-ho is, in fact, , gentleman in every sense of the word, and one, he thinks. entitled to an. answer upon any question.: Thereforo,;baving obtained thjd.tuch "nforriatio- wei now address you as our friehd4 inrSouth-Ciro lina,Nith alldne, deference and love of cj jzensbi. .'Carolina. tnay.liaveat trap irepared fir us, but he ought to be careful lest he get caught in it first. The ques tions proposed-;.re baitifanmiliar words with efety *American, and we feel surprised that a citizen of this~tate, especially such. a person as "Carolina" is -represented to be.idhoula..appear so unacquainted with the principles of Henry Clay, when they are. engraven upon the door posimsof every house it} the: Unhed.

To use the language 'of 'one oi Virginia's sons--"he has-done for himself what friendsaiid -for tune can do for no man, and what neither friends nor ibes can take from him-a fame for which he himself has fought, and from w4jch no man's censure can detract." And that.fantsis his..reward-office could not, add a cubit to his stature. He has reflected honor on the 'place of his birth ; he has maintained 'the reputation of Vir giuia'paons, and Virginia is the mother of heroe slatesen, and sages. - That is enougl-for any man. But to our pleasicg task. - '. - Mr. Clay does not admit that Congress bas-the con~stitutional right to i'ipose du ties for the protection- of "- Northern Manu factures alone, but says, letiglerpbe an adequate revenue, with fair protection to American Industry, whether it be of.-the North or Southor of the Vesti :~Iead his Speech in "Defence of the -Aniercan system," delivered in the Senate of' the Uunited States, Feb. 2d, 3d, and 6th, 1812.

Never, in the history of our Govern ment, has such an attack been made upon any public man, as that now going on in the columns of the Globe.;. Ad. attack s0 unmanly, so ..unjust, vindictive, and mali eious-so uncalled for by" any act of its victiki, past or present-that the- whole public, without disticetion of p.arty, are struck with amazement at its ferocity, and disgust for its authors. 'Everybody ' in voluntarily: tisks, what has Mr. Calhoun done; to call doin.ttpon him the concen trated wratir of Mr.:Benton and the.Gilobe? How has ho specially offended them, or thwarted.their hopes.for the future:? That it is their selfishiess,'aud no; their patrio tism, that.is. alarmed, no one 'can doubt. For it is one of the instincts of that mean principle, to hate e.very one .whom it sup poses an obstacle in their ay to the ac complishment of its pnrposc. ' In what then, has Mr. Calhoun -oftnded ? It is known to all, that- for reasons deemed suf ficient by himself, and unanimously ap proved by his friends, he had voluntarily withdrawn his name from the list of Pres idential candidates.. lie had also resigned his sent in the Senate. - lie had-retited fromihe strife of politics, to the grateful and congenial avocations of his farm. His friends every where were merged with the friends of Mr. Van Buren, in advoca ting his claims, and in carrying the local' elections throughout thedcountry. Whilst in thi-r position;.hu.wss called upon by the President to fill a'place- in his' Cabinet, mede vacant by the stost appalling calanm ity. -'This appointment-was made by Me.
