COME HACK, JOHN.
[From the Mobile Tribune]
You know I told you once, Jolu?,
I'd never write again?
But we women never mean, John,
What we say to the men.
You flirted so with Sail, Jolin,
I own that I was vexed.
And thought if I was cold, John,
That you would be perplexed
I find it will not do, John?
You can't bo moved 1>v frowns?
Alas! that lovers true, John,
/Should have such "upi and downs.,'
Tou loved me fondlv once, John?
You often told mo so;
I own I was a dunce, John,
Sncl^pctulancc to show.
I offer vou the hand, John,
So often clasjted in thne;
O, let us pledge nncw, John.
The memories of "long sync."
It is the gentle spring. Jolin,
"When birds and flowers make love:
And like a radiant queen, John,

In seasons like to this, John,
Kindred for kindred pine?
O, then complete my blfce, John,

"Nor is this the whole. In the foul
den where he is thrust, like a chained
reptile, ono generous girl, of the nge of
ton years, daughter of (lie Governor,
sought, with the instinctive chari of
her sex, to solace the captive's cart "1
lighten his suffering by kindly ollicos; a a
forthwith, on pain of new privation,
O'Urien was forbidden ever to speak to
her a cam Ife lost, this innocent familiar.
o
whose childish beauty and guileless, perhaps,
spoke to his father's heart of the
orphaned darlings who weep for him at
home.
"In this monster's power?tortured,

"Is this law? Is this justice? Who
is so brutal here as to defend such barbarity?
What partisan of British rule?
what leprcsontative of British authority
?dare stand up in these islands and vindicate
this dark, cowardly, and hellish
persecution?
"Does the Ihw of God justify it? Does

of England sanction it? Will the

"You must interfere, and save this

are threatened.
"We say this advisedly. No human
constancy can lon?? withstand the torturing
cruelty O'Brien suffers. No bodily
strength can triumph over the privation*
O'Brien endures."
After further appeals to Irishmen U
interfere nnd save O'Brien, the Natior
makes the following announcement:
"These tidings have produced a pro
found impression in Dublin. They hav<
excited intense indignation. A commit
tee is being formed of men of all parties
and, if we have not mistaken Irish hearts
theic will be a denunciation that shal
ring through the land like a judgmen

TltUTlI, WELL SAID,
Christianity has doctrines and duties
which relate particularly to our fellow
beings, which form its moral and social
side; and it has doctrines and duties
which relate particularly to God, which
fornj its spiritual side, and comprehend
direct';* vhatever relates to our personal
| salvation. These together form its com1
pletenej-'s. It ean no. be truly embraced
without embracing both. It is possible,
.j however, to embrace its soc'jI and moral
side alone, and to exhibit herein great
! beauty of character; like the young ruler
who propounded to our Savior the important
question' "Good Muster, what good
thing shall I do ihat I may inherit eternal
life?" It is possible also to embraco its
spiritual side alone, as far ns the profession
of a creed is concerned.
i Now there are many men, who, owing
: to the fortunate circumstances of their
education, are the .-.tern believers in an orj
thodox creed, while violating every beau*
! tiful charity of life. And these men claim
to themselves great merit for their dog- |
matic faith, although it be a "faith with- j
I out works.
There arc other men, who, owing, perhaps.
to the equally unfortunate circumstances
r.f their education, are building on ,
' a false foundation their hopes of eternal
life, while distinguished for amiable tern- J
pel's, and a generous and efficient moral:- }
ty in the ordinary walks of life.
It would be an unwise pvefercncc
which should attach us in kinder bonds to !
the former than to the latter. The one .
has faith without virtue. The other 1ms
| virtue without faith. The one professes j
to believe according to the most orthodox j
standard, but breathes no atmosphere of j
! holiness. The other believes at lenst in
social virtue, anu is irue 10 ius poller.? 1
The last is the finer and nobler character.
Both are essentially deficient.
Glnistion Charity will estimate their
defects impartially; and will neither allow
herself to be imposed upon by the
proud assumption of unproductive orthodoxy,
nor to be led away from the just
proportion and momentous value of the
spiritual side of religion, bv those kindly
virtues which she prizes, but which, nevertheless,
when they stand alone, show I
that one thing still is wanting.? |N. Y.j

Patients and (?iiii.drkn*.?It is said
that when the mother of Washington was
a-kc<! how she had formed tlu; character
of her son, she replied thai she had early t
endeavored to leach him three things:
obcdicnee, diliyencc and truth. No bettor
advice can he given by any parents, j
Teach your children to obey. Let it be j
uii: mat iiTaaun. j uu r.mnui iiuiuiy utJ- :
j gin too soon. It requites constrnl care
to keep up llie habit, rf obedience, nnd
especially to do it in sur.b a way as not to
break down the strength of the child's
| character. Tench your children to be
diligent. The habit of being always em|
ployed, is a great safe-guard through
life, as well as essential to the culture of
j almost every virtue. Nothing can be
i more foolish than an idea which parents
i have, that it is not resnee.tnb'e to sr>t
I their children to work, "lay is a good
i thing; innocent recreution is an employ I
mant, and the child may learn early to
be useful. As to truth, ii is tiic one es;
sentlal thing. I,et everything else be
sacrificed rather than that. Without it,
what dependence can you place in your
; child? And be sure to do nothing your(
self which may countenance any species
of prevarication or falsehood. Yet how

I'ii ink ok it!?Little things go a great
way to mnko life what it is. We ought
; to s'udy them more. If a kind word
; that costs nothing, will civc pleasure, es
pecinlly to those who hnvo but little
pleasure, why is it not well to have a
kind word always ready to be given? If
an act of friendship will make a sad heart
light for an hour, why not be ready, when
it is so easy, to scatter pleasure in the
i path of life? This is called a "vale
of tears," and so it is, for sin has blighted
1 (lowers and planted thorns; but the vale
would be brighter, and there would be
fewer tears, if those who have it in their
power to make others happy, without

* A Word to rim Ladiks?Our readers
may remember the notice we gave of the
bread making mach'ne of Dr. Lewis, cx'
hibited at the late Fair of tho machanics'
j Institute. Having been favored by the
t Doctor with a receipe,,we (that is, wife,
self, and a couple of friends in family
council,) concluded to try the cxpoviment
of brear" making on the new plan. The
first two attempts were failures, but the
j. j third was crowned with triumphant success,
and since then we havo uad bread

Take three pounds of flour, mix with

DEPARTED.
The Jeffcrsuniau, of Richmond, Indiana, thus
noticcs the demise of one of the most noted
characters of tho country:
01HTUJUY.
Died, at Philadelphia, on 'lliursday, June 8,
1848, Universal W. Party, Esq., aged about
10 years.
Thn .l^onsnfl \rn? nn !i vi*it to his friends in
that city, whore ho arrived jj> tlic enjoyment of
liii uaiuil health, (which lias been feeble for
some years in consequence of constitutional
weakness,) where ho was attacked very acutely
with tl.e vlvailable Fever, which terminated 1
his earthly existence iifn few hours. It will he
ft source of consolation to his relatives ami
friends to learn that every thing was done that
skill or humanity could suggest l>y his attending
physician Or. Clay, to avert the fatal am- j
sequences, bm all in vain?
"Death loves n shining mark."
I. . W Party was born at Hartford, Coun., nnd
attained his full physical development ai ihu
age of four years, llis father, Federal Party,
was a native of New England, and was of Knglish'ext
ruction. llis mother, Misa .Jnti-Musou,
sprung from Western New York, nnd was
nearly related to the /ion. Frank Granger,
yiie friends of youn* Mr. Party indulged the
most sanguine hopes of a long life of fame and 1
honor for their young friend, and no pains or
expense was spared in his early education. 7'lic
Hon. Dr. II. Clay was early struck with his
precocious developments, and immediately ,
upon learning his father's residence, took him
into his own family and watched over his daw- |
mug powers witii more man a imuur ? iuiiu t>u- :
licitude.
At six years of ago, Mr. Clay admitted him as
a full partner in tlie American system establishment,
which, although not as profitable as
was anticipated, yet it afforded him a fine opportunity
for displaying his financial abilities,
and gave liiiu a groat deal of useful information;
sinec that time he has been too closely
identified widi the lii.torycf the country to
need particular comment. His d-mUe has

some little arrangements for extending his business

FALSE INSPIRATION.
Among (ho moat spicy, as well as tl.jmost t
in-truetive reading wo come across in our daily
<iki mining of exchanges, is tha/ found in Noahs ;
Times, unner the lieail of answers. The queerest
and oddest inquiries are oflcn addressed to
the Major, who appears to he more of an oracle
for general consultation than even the Kochester
spirit*. A reformed wine-bibber. whose '
vivacity nn<l wit seem to have wilted since he
. took the pledge, puts the following question:
"1 was always u lover of wine, and drank so
I deeply that my life was in danger. I reformed
j and took the pieilge, and am now perfectly j
; well; but the change is a remarkable one.
\\ hue in my eyes, 110 one was more gay or
liiwl u more agreeable rattle with the ladies, or
was more admired for witty expressions gallant
savings, agreeable compliments, and life
ajid animation; yet since I relinquished wine I
am dull and senseless, avoid ladies' company,
and have lost my former reputation for gallantry.
What is the causo of this impleasint
change, and how am I to recovcr my former
character of a gay and spirited young fellowt"
With his usual good sense tho veteran Major
replies:
"Your inspiration and remarkable cleverness
was the result of the liquor, and was not
a natural gift. You therefore lose nothing by
becoming sober, but gain everything to health.
Your gaycly was 'ill borrowed robes;' your
UUlUlUUUj ru Hl'nui kimbiiiih
ity of temper tire nil your own, und tn<Jy nrc
tlic most valuublo nnd enduring,"
"Joe, what makes your nose so red?"
"Friendship."
"Friendship! how do you make that
out?"
I've got a friend who is very fond of
of brandy, and he is too wetk to take it
strong, and I've constituted myself his
titster."
There is a young man in Grand-street
so bright that his mother has to U'ok at
him through smoked glass!
"Swipes, if 1 were in your place, 1M
go and hang myself."
"So would 1, Snarl, if I were as big u
fool as your are."
Trial of (he Brothers Montcsquiou at
St. Louis.?The French Vice-Consul of
this citv has L'oiio lo St. Louis, and is
O '
I now probahly attending to tno case of
these unfortunute men, who are ontiinl
for the murder of 'J'heron K. Barn urn,
and who huvo another indictment hanging
over them for the murder u? another
individual. Tuere is something sugges
led by the fact that the French ViccOonsul
has thus gono to wain the trial
?and people naturally -enough inquire,
, ' Why ii there eo great an interest in the
mere late of two Frenchmen?" The
, answer to the question is simple. Those
i brothers are not republicans. They are
, tho scions of ft noble family; nud though
, Ihe government docs not recognise noble
L
blood in tlio code of tho republic, the
noble blood of France is really and truly
as much in existence to day as it was a
bund red years agp. llence it is that the
; brothers Montcsquiou are commanding
the regard and watchfulness of the
French government. Were they poor
j French republicans, we should hcaj 110th
ing, probably, of any attempts to give
them the aid of the Government. As
they are noble, however, it is a different
matter. Tho people of Franee have
no reliance upon themselves, and the
government awaits the day when the
i country again will be ruled by the seeptro.
nnH (hivrishin.r mwlrr tlio crown.
Hence the pains taken to preserve nil
noble blood, and to keep the escutcheons
of the old families from the tarnishing
blots of circumstances. Tl>e appearance
of the French Vice-Gonsul at St. Louis
is an ample commentary on the state of
feeling lownrdf the French nobility in
France. She is a republic in name, but
whirls uncertain of her destiny.?N. Y.
