'in growing old , I feel the years are g!iding on, And fleeting moments still unfold The truth that I have older grown. Twelve years have glided. and again I add another to my years; Ahi, nie! they are a varied train Of smiles, of joys, of grief and tears My spring tine came, wihl joy I ell-ght The tuerry strain the thrashcr a.ung. E.hel'o oi'titig day some new joy brought And'tvud and free my musc rung, And wreathed around my brow the 'owers, That bedded in ny etoulless lay ; Oh! thei.y were bright and joyous hours, Ali: al h]ow fleet they Fped away. 'My summer came wtit brighter beam A nd each day's warmer sun disp'ayed i; But love caine o'vr my sumner dream, And fringed its golden beams with shade, Then over my brow came pensive thought, And dalted my cup ofjoy with pain, Di-quieted my id6l wrought, For oh! I lovi-d, but loved in vain. My autumni came. and around my heart My spring bright leaves grew sere and fell; I saw my sunut-r buds depart, And felt the witids grow cold and chill. I saw the one I luved the most, Torn fron my heart-it ieing o'er Ali misery-t:ny loved, my lost! Pale meniory recall no niore! 'Tis winter now, so coIl and sere. All things that meet niy gaze below But .til I have an idol lere. Whose potent sway too well T know, For in my heart there is a spot, As green as in my spring-time past Aly sumnier love is not furgot, Uut throughout my being last. ONE ANGEL MORE. BIY BEATA. In sutmer time sweet Alice dieil, .When early summer brought itt store; With .lune'u brght treasures at her side, She closel her eyes fur evermore. At ea-ly dawn she tieckly heard The gentle call, " Be!oved one, come!" She doubted not the heavenly word She dreaded not the sunons home. Sie saw not moon, nor twinkling star; The city, greeted froin afar, Is neared-is won-the portal past. Lillies, less pure than ler pure mind, Beside her l:y. with roses siveet ; And niany fragrant buds entw:nt d Ji enreles4 grace lay at her fret. A loving Itan] had i'laced them tliere, Emnb'etns of Alice peerle.s maid. Like her--in life suiremely fair; Like her-too soon, alas! to fade, But not, like her, to live again, And as the rtars in glory shnc; Theirs-one shirt smmiiier's transient reign; Ilers-an eternity divine. Alice was gone. She calnly died When early life poured forth its store; With love's rich treasures at her side, Shse ehitsed hter eyes for evernmore. "THE OLD WOMAN."' It was thtus, a fewv days sitnce, we heard astripling of sixteen designate the mother ho bore him. By coarse htusbands we hve heard wives so called occasionally, totgh in the latter case thte phratse is more 'tetn used endearingly. At all times, as cmmonly spoken, it jars upon the ear andl ocks the sense. An "' old woman " should ban object of reverentce above and beyond amost all phases of humanity. Her very ae should he her surest passport to court os consideration. The aged mother of a owtn-up family needs no other certificate owsorth. She is a monumrent of excellency ajprove'd and wvarranted. Site has foutgh~t fthfully " the good fight," and come off cnqueror. Upon her venerable fatce, she ears thte marks of conflict in all its fur.ow ed lines. Th'le most grievous of the ills of fe have beett hers ; trials utntold and un kown otly to her God and herself, she has brne incessantly; attd nows ini her old age -her duty dlone! patiently awaiting her ppoitted'time-site stands more beautiful ian ever in youth, more honorable and de srving thtan lie who has slain his thousands, r stood triumphant upoit the proudest field of victory. Young nman, speak kindly to your mother, nd even courteously ,-tenderly of her. But lit tle time antd he shtall see her no more for. ver. Hecr eye is dim, her fortm is bent, atnd er shtadow falls gravewards. Others may lve you wvhen she htas passed away-kind earted sisters, perhaps she whom of all the sorld you chtoose for partner-she may love ou warmly, passionately ; children may lve you fondly, but never again, never, hile time is yours, shall the love of woman e to you as that of your old, tremblitng oter has been. In agony sihe bore you ! through puling, elpless infancy, her throbbing breast wvas our safe protection and support: in way ard, tetchy boyhood, she bore patiently vith your thoughtless rudeness, and nursed ou safe thtrough a legion of ills and mala dies. Her htand it was that bathed your urting browv or moistened your parched p; her eye that lighted up the darkness f wastitng nighttly vigils, watching always i your fitful sleep, sleepless by your side, as ote but her could watch. Oh, speak not her name lightly for you cannot live so many ears as would suffer you to thatnk her fully. 'hrough reckless and impatient youth shte s your counsellor and solace. Into a bright mnhood she guides your improvidlent step, nor thtere forsakes nor forgets. Speak gent y, thten, and reverenttly of your mother; mtdivwhenm vou too shmall be ol., it shall in some degree lightm remorse which shall be yours fior other. - to know that never wantonly have you aged the respect due to the " old wo . -Harrisburg Tele graph.

N the good old times, " when the Ply mouth colon y,". was truly the " land of steady habits," the1imasionally sprung up a volatile fun-lovia&acter, whose habits and disposition fo strong contrast with the upright and corfeieutious bearing of the old and formal. Puritans. An anecdote of two farmers of this class, living near each other, will afford ~ai~ apt illustration of the text: One was posier d of some dozen fine sheep, who h'- a decided antipathy to confinewent, wo gespass on the enclosure of their neighbor be having caught them flict summary v einC' on ihem, andtisir owner. With this intention, lie proceeded to catch them, and .unning his knife through one of their hin4 legs, between the tendon and the bone, immediately over the knee joint, and put the~other leg through the hole. In this condition thea..hole flock decamped, leaving one quarter less tracks than when they came. The feeder of 'lhe'.asheep kept his eyes open ; and soon after his neighbor's hogs having broken inte his enclosure, he took advantage of this epportunity for retaliation, by cutting their nouths, from ear to ear. In this way the foir-footed grunters-rather chop-fallen,as ma: be-supposed-made their way back to theirown quarters. The owner of the swine madehis appearance in a great rage, declaring tiat his hogs were ruined, and that he shouldhave redress. His neigh bor made answer hat he was not the cause -" for " said lie, " the fact is my frie nd,lI didn't cut open thin are hogs mouths, but seein' my sheep rumnin' about on three legs, t'.iey split their months laughing. N. Y. Dutchman. TAKING OUT Y'UR WATch DURIFG THlE SER~o.-NowV his is no small exploit. 'There are many divantages arising from it. In tlIe first place,it -will be known that a man has a watcb h.-t the second place, lhe will showv that thenermon has not v-ery- much affected him. Tirdly, it wvill be a modest hint to the nminiter that he has preached about long enougl and should brinug his ser mon to a close ' Fourthly-, it will take up a portion of the ' 1e and attentioni, so that the sermon, cer uly, (if not ths whole,) will pass by manpasithe idle winid and be lost. Fifthly, it sill show what estimates the man puts oathe. messages of grace. Sixtbily, it will abs -netihe notice of others around, and turd their: attention from thne message in like mnner. Soventhily, it is an act very much in iarmony with the passage of Scripture in amos, 8: 1-" When will the new moon la gone that we may sell co-n; and the Sbbath,. that we may set forth wheat ?" DELICATE I~sNATION.-Two fellows were quarrelling,aie of them being a very dark -hided custorer. After sonme wrangling, a friend of Fairasin's stepped tip and told hii~n to tell the dier fellow he had nigger bkood in his veinr "I hate to do hat," said Fairskin. "You can inepuate, -1 reckon," replied his frienid. 'Look here,"addressing Blackhide, " I say nothin' agin ju or your blood. All I've got to say, ef the'l dig deonfourfect wchar youir grandaddyxrs buried, he y'llfiad nig ger trool" --.. " DoN'T be. ira hurry, keep your seat," when addressed'o a visitor, ini an editor's office, means aear out as fast as you can." A CELEBRATD Tfoper intending to go to a masked ballicisolted an acquaintance in what character'ie should disguise himself. " Go sober," relied his friend, " and your most intimate (quaintanee will not knowv you. DR. Joinrsowavas one day dining at the house of an. :Enish lady wvhen she asked him if he did et think her pudding very good. " Yes," growi the great moralist, "it is very good for Its." " Shall I heliyou to another plateful, then ?" asked tIb polite hostess. e a~vtin e wrds na snoken in iest 1NTF;RTITY IN BUS[IESS.-'ihere is nol moral lesson which the state of society in our country more loudly calls for, than integ rity in business. The great and pervading passion of tine American community is money making,and the motto upon which thousands seem to act is, " get money,-honestly, ifr you c:hi,-but at any rate get money." Pro bably the rule of morality is as frequently and gencrally violated as that which pre. scribes honesty and fair dealing. Many a man who looks with proud and pharisaic scorn oil the intemperate and the prolane, upper publicans aid -sinners who do not seek concealment for their offiences, marny such a man will " get the advantage," as it is called, of his neighbor in a business transac tion, by false representations, and not feel the slightest componction. Compunctioin indeed ! Why, he considers it a feather in his cap, and he boasts of it to his croniies, and glories in his shame Ev.RY WoRn TRUE.-It is a great and unhappy prevalent error, that children may be left to ran wild in every sort of company, and temptations for several years, and that it will lie time enongh to brake them yet. This mistake makes half of our spemdthrifts, gamblers, thieves, and drunkards. No Man would deal so with his girden or lot ; no man would raise ~a colt or puppy on such a principle. Take notice, parents, unless you till the new soil and throw in the good seed, the devil will have a crop of poison weeds before you know what is taking place.. Look at our dear children, and think whether you will leave their safety and ruin at hazard, or whether you should train them up in, the way they should go. SLAVnRY OF Till' P, ss.-The person wlo penned the followinrg deserves a pen sion. They are our sentiments. None know the drudgery attendant upon the publication of a daily paper except those who have had experience. The writer says; " 1 know of no stale of slavery upon earth like that attendant upon newspaper life, whether it be as directors or subordi. nates. Your task is never ended, your re sponsibility never secured, the last day's work is forgotten at the close of the day on which it appears, and tie dragon of to. to-morrow waits open-mouthed to devour your thoughts, and snap up one morsel more of your vexed existence. Be as successful as it is in the nature of things to be-be indifferent to praise, and lion-hearted to blamre-still will tie human frame wear out before its time, and your body, if not your minid, exhibit some symptoms of dry rut.' AGENE Lordee'orineaiiwIrig aF dimy outh some few years since, once gave stric: orders to the sentry at the citadel.-that no om except the General's cuw should pass ove the grass. While this order was in force, lady D. called to visit the General's lady, and, on entering the citadel, was, as usual, about to take a short crrt across the grass, when to her great surprise, she was ordered off by the sentry, who said, " You can't pass there." " Not pass here !" said her hi dyshrip, perhaps you don't knrrrw who I am." " 1 neither know nor care who you are," said the soldier, " but I know vou are not the General's cow, and no one else can pass there." MOTTO oN irl, liarin.u. ixn.-A youing genlenian of fine irel-l't and noble heart, was suddenly snatched by thIre hand of death rrom all tire endearments of lifle. Surround. ed by everything that could nmake existence p~leasanit arnd hrappy-a wifeb that idrulized im-children that loved hrirm as they can eve, and friends dlevotedi to him, the sum rnons came, arid lie lay upon the bed of deaith. But a few short years argo. she to whom Ire was wedded placed a buridal ring uipon Iris lnger, upon the inside of whlich lie had a rw words enigraived. Thie bush:ind would hover permit the giver to read threm, telling ecr the day wvould come when her wish should be gratified, arnd she should know tihe ecret. Seven years glided away, and a day r two since, when conscious that lie must cave her forever, lie called hrerto Iris bredside, nod with his dying accents tolrl her that the iour had at last come when shre should see hIe wvords upon the ring she haid given hiirm. The young mother took it from iris cold fin ;er, and thonugh hneart-strickeri with grief, ~agerly read the words, " I have loved thee >ni earth-I will meet thee in heaven." \VINTRarNo Mirceir Cows.-If you have iot shedding already erected to give comrfor able shelter to every head of cattle on your lace have sheds erected withrout delay.

At the suggestion of the Editor of th Telegraph, in ithe issue of the 17th inst., i respectable number of the citizens of. thi Village and vicinity, met this evening at th Court I-louse to consider. the question o building a Railroad from Columbia througl Lexington to, Hamburg.. On motion of Dr. 1. Caughman, Rev. A I. Fort, was called -to the chair, and S Corley requested to act as Secretary. 'hie chairman-explained the ohject of the meeting, a , requested an interebange o thought on the 8ubject. Maj. II. A. Meetze remarked, that h< believed the majority of the people of thi District were decidedly ii favor of builiinv the road, and as two of our Representativei in the State Legislature were present, h( desired an expression of their opinion reltive to the furtherance of said enterprise Col. L. Boozer responded by saying, thal lie did not know of any plan as yet sub. milted by any one to that effect; but, thal lie was prepared t6 advocate the measire, both at home arid elsewhere-that it mighi be necessary for us to take the lead; but, that we were comparatively weak in v pecuniary point of view and others migh object to our proceedings on that account. He did not know that application would be made to the Legislature for a charter;-that speeches wouild not build railroads-money was essentially tiecessary; and in order to carry out the design fully, it was our duty, first, to eilist the feelings and interests of the people along the proposed route, after which, a general meeting of delegates or representatives might be held, concert of action obtained, and the enterprise success fully carried out. John Fox, Esq., remarked, that lie fully concurred in the views of the speaker who had just taken his seat-had no plan' to propose, but would do all in his power to carry out the project. Maj. 11. A. 31eetze remarked, that lie was satisfied, npplication would. be made at the approaching session of the Legislature for a charter to build the road ; and, that the stock would be taken bv other s than the - of Lexiinton District-alluding to 1J .'unies interested particularly the laboring poor, and hoped that our Representatives would exert them selves in our Legislative Halts to obtainl the harter. Col. L. Boozer, again stated that lie ac uiesced in what had been said, and onlv desired a plan whereby concerted action niigh"i be had, so that there might be a robability of' building tie road after the Charter was granted, and lie was ready to Li his part. Col. H-. I. Canghman remarked tiat if the application for a Charter was not made .t the coil)g Session of' the Legislature, in his opinion it would never he done, as mother pinject was on foot which would -efeat this enterprise forever. He believed bie money was ready, and alluded to some ~etlemeni who had expressed themselves in ediness, amid in addition, the w'illingrness of Wall St. brokers to take the stock as soon s the charter was granted. Th'le Chairman alluded to the fact, that here was no divisioii of sentiment, what ver, as to the enterprise itself, as we were il heartily in favor of it, but as to the best lan of proceeding, in order to secure the ~est results ; and lest others equally interest d might consider us impertinent ini thus eding the way, suggested that a Commit ee be appointed to draw up resolutinns pp)1ealing to the peop~le of the other Districts terested, to request or instruct their Rep esentatives to favor the design at the iiext feeting of tho Legislature.

Oz 1i- nut a judge between friends -The New -York - Courier is paintmg .eyh character of Prince Menschikoff, great grand. son of Peter the Great, now seventy years of age, and in command.'o( the Russian ar my against 'urkev- We quote: "He is of middle.stature, has close-cut, milk-white hair; a -high, open forehead; sharply defined features, and a bright, spark ling eye. Ilis gait is haughty, but slightly limping, from a wound that'he received in a singular manner at the siege of Varna, in 1828. It is affirmed that, one evening, hav ing some orders that he wished to see obeyed. he strolled tirough the camp, and, as he was returning to his qiuarters; he 'sApped and re mained with his legs stretched wide apart, while he enjoyed a pinch of snuff. Suddenly the report of a heavy gun -was heard, and the Prince fell headlong to the ground. When he was taken np it Was found dint a, annon bill had passed between his legs and -wounded him severely in the thigh. Prince Menschikoff is one of the most extensive landed proprietors in the Empire, and counts his serfs by thousands; but. un-. like the generality of the Russian nobles, who throw away their riches ii.reckless-pro. lusion, lie adds daily tp his 'Wvealth. His economy is without a parallel, and, indeed, is stated to descend to parsimony of thelo* est grade. " Another striking peculiarity of this re. markable man is the aversion he entertains for foreigners. Not one-even an Ambassa. dor-has ever been permitted to enter his pal. ace. Nor is this repugnance confined to those who are strangers, in the strict sense of the world ; for several Finlanders of emi nence, who had been acquainted with him when Governor General of that province, have been denied access to him when they happene casually to be at St. Petersburg: the only favor accorded to them being per mission to take refreshments in te-amn e chambers with the upper servants of the house. He is both rough and fickle, and when any thing offends him, he becomes absolute. ly brutal. It is not, therefore, to be won. dared at that lie has so many enemies.. " Menschikoff is married to the Princess Dolgorouki, by whom he has a son and a daughter." .

He travels in a palanquin enclosed with curtains of amber-coloured silk, borne on the should. ers of sixteen officers of distinction ; his pre ceptor, or privy counsellor, or adviser, car* ried by eight conlies, follows immediately in his wake; and then comes Tien-teh's thirty devoted wives, for all of whom lie is said to possess the sincerest affiection. They are arrayed in costly apparel, and follow each other in single file, not, as they might- on the shores of the piacid Serpentine, in 6lar. ences or broughanis, but in commodious arm.chairs, picked out with vermillion and gold. A long retinue of servants and a vast array of soldiers bring up the rear of the pr-ocession, which is said, upon the whole strongly to resemble those gorgeous affairs Ioccaionailly' exhibited on the boards of the ILyceimi-hieatre?London. Mosr ?ACJOY M.nmOcURRENxC.--Ah most every body has'listened -with sadness to the plaintive strains and saiddening worso the old rong, " The MisIletoa. Brongh," in which the story is told of a 'young bride, whio,.in playtul humor oni her wedding-day, ran to hide from her spouse, and was found, years afterwvards, mouldered to ashes in a chest with a spring lock. But a Sani Fran. cisco paper irelates a sadder tale which cc e nrredh in that city hist month, and one which adds to its own horror by its realhity; "A few days since we called attention to an advertiseimnt of the loss of a little Span-. ishi gir-l answvering to the name of Ventura, whlose agonised mother was searching through the city for her. After looking for her in vain for several days, and coming to the conclusion' that the chiild'was dead, she went to a large trunk in the house, on Thurs damy, for the purpose of procuring some mourning apparel, wihen upon openilng It, wvhat was the mother's horror to see lying there the decaying renimant of her once Ibeautiful little child. The trunk had been left open on the day the child was lost, and it is supposed that-the inquisitive little one, having seen the dresses inside, had taken a fancy to them, and uih atteinpting to pro cure them, had fallen into the trunk. The lid closed with a spring, and the little child died wvith suffocation. The tales of romance fall far short in depietiig the agony which the poor mother felt upon this sad discovery ; and the whole story is one 'which tends to prove the oft-repeated saying- that truth is stranger thani fiction."'' - A TruoUsAsa A-D~.-The annual immi. gration of foreigners to New York is at the rate of about a' thousand .a day.
