He comes not?I have watched the moon go down,
But yet tie comes not. Onc>- it was not so,
He thinks not how these bitter tears do How,
The while he holds his riot in that town
Yet he will come, and chide, and I shall weep ;
And he will wake my infant from its sleep,
To blend its feeble wailing with my tears.
Oh how I love a mother's watch to keep,
Over those sleeping eyes, that smile, which cheers
IVfu tlioiKrh conk in sorrow, fixed and (Icon.
I had a husband once, who loved me?now
He ever wears a frown upon his brow.
And feeds his passion on a wanton's lip,
As bees, from laurel flowers, a poison sip :
But yet I cannot hate?oh ! there were hours,
When I could hang forever on Irs eve,
And time, who stoie with silent swiftness by,
Strew'd, as he hurried on, his path with flowers.
1 loved him then?he loved nte, loo?my heart
Still finds its fondness kindle if he smile :
.The memory of our love 'twill ne'er depart;
And though he often sting me with a dart,
Venomed and barbed, and waste upon the vile
Caresses, which his babe and mine should share;
Though he should spurn mc, I will calmly bear
His madness,?and should sickness coiuc and lay
Its paralyzing hand upon him, then
I would with kindness, all iny wrongs repay,
Until the penitent should weep, and say,
iiow injured, and how faithful i had been!

A link has been detached from the chain?
A joy.beam removed from?the heart,
Where hope may ne'er blossom again..
Then crush not the spirit now buried,

When griel's weight rudely drops in the fount,
No marvel the waters o'crfiow.

HOW TO OFT RID OF A TIM PFHI.AR.
There w^s a certain pedlar of tin ware who
f r?yerst:d this city, to cjispusc of notions to such
as wore willing to bargain. Flo was a persevering
trader, and never suflorod himself to he
puffed ofT with a short answer. One house in
particular, he continued to visit in spite of continued
rebuff*, and assurances that nothing was
wanted, they n^ver bought goods In that way.
Nevertheless, he made his calls steadily, with
each rogular round, until he heoarne a regular
noct * *i in I iii runlv to the information that it was

(in so just as often as ho pleased.
Ono bitter cold day the house bell rang, and
the good lady niado all hasto to get her hands
from the dough, In which they were busy, to
ansxyer the call. When she went, there stood
the everlasting pedlar.
Any till ware wanting to-dav, ma'am ?*'
" Have you any f fit kitchens V
"Yes, ma'am;'' and away lie went to bring
samples, chuckling at the idea that his zeal was
to be successful at last. "There's nothing,"!
inuttered he, "like l|tWg<? on. any how,"
The kitchens were brought, ami tin pans
were next inquired for. The pans were brought,
and other articles enumerated, to the number of j
seven different kinds, and a goodly portion of j
the pedlar's load had been transferred to the ,
house
44 Is there anything more that you want, i
ma'am
44Oh no! I don't want any of those, I only
asked you if you had them : I did'nt say I want
ed them."
The pedlar was fairly 44sold," and for a mo
meet he felt like getting angry ; but the idea j
rather tickled him, and lie commenced return- j
ing his warns to his rart without tillering a |

r evolutionary Anecdote.?The army in
Cambridge, in July, 1775, were joined by a
company of riflemen from Philadelphia. The
captain, when he was ordered to form his company.
had so many applications that they exceeded
his demands. He resorted to a curious
expedient to limit the number without giving
offence to any one. He chalked out the figure
I of a nose of the common size on a board, and
p!uc< d it at the distance of one hundred and
fifty yards, and told them that such as could
come nearest the mark should enlist. Sixtvodd
hit it. The Philadelphia papers, in relating
this anecdote, added to it?"Gen. Gage, take
care of your nose !"
A Real Gentleman.?He never dresses in
lhe extreme of fashion, but avoids singularity
iti liis person or habits, lie is affable to hi*
rqnab, and pleasant and attentive to his interiors.
In conversation he avoids hasty, ill-tompercd
or instiling remarks. He p iys punctually
for his newspapers. He detests eavesdropping
as among the most disgraceful of
crimes. He never, tinder any circumstances,
speaks ill of a woman. He never clits an ncquaintance,
who has met with a reverse of fortune
; and he always pays the postage #i\ his
Idlers of business.
Eloquence.?44 Before I would go nlioui as
a public dancer," said an eloquent youth, in his
maiden speech, 411 would exchange my humani j
ty with a grasshopper, or let myself out to a
machinist for a fly-wheel. By an examination
into the properties of the human leg, we shall
find that it was intended principally for walking
; although I have no objection to nn occasional
jump, or even a hop, although the latter
is a one sided affair, and hardly ever resorted
to by such as repose their heads in the lap ol
human dignity."

YOL'NG MEN.
When we see the pnrle, faced, taper-fingorcd,
tnincing-spceched, consumptive-look-1
ingvoung men who alicnd in our dry gords j
T P . . . |
and fancy stoics, we cannot help thinking il
would be better for them to turn their at-;
tcntinn to rn -re manly and health giving'
pursuits and by so doing afford employment
to thousands of helpless women. A retail
clerkship is becoming a reproach to men,
because it is p operly a woman's business
in this city; comparatively, few men are employed
in stores. Proprietors, as much from
interest, perhaps as humanity, give preference
to women. The few young men who
do go into retail stores, are actuated by a
desire to learn the business, with the view,
ultimately, of becoming proprietors. In
nine eases out of ten, however, liaimicr rc i
suits would follow if our young men should
engage in tlic cultivation of the soil, or learn
a tr-lc."
The above sound and judicious remarks
arc froui ihc |icu ofihe intelligent editor of
the City Item. It would, indeed, lie belter,
much better, for young men to turn their
attention to more manly and healthy pursuits
in the city or country, than to have a
clerkship in either, wholesale or retail stores,
to vend threads, tapes, ribbons, and the like,
at a starving salary. The anxiety of must
of vouug men to bo in a store, or to be a

prvation, and siilf-ring only can cure.?
Young men in the country arc particularly
desirious of comini; to the city. Many
an honest ami worthy son of a thriving mechanic
has left his happv home?Ins fnthei's
flourishing fields or busy workshop, to seek
living in a large ci'y as clerk. This is the
most fatal mistake young men can commit.
They too frequently overlook their comfort,
and seldom appreciate the true happiness
the domestic fireside affords, until thev have
tasted the bitter fruits of adversity and disappointment
or have fell the chilling winds
of poverty and misfortune in large cities.
We know many persons in this city, who
arc dragging out a miserable existence as
clerks or salesmen in stores at salaries bare

the drudgery, hogging and baring for custom,

their menial position. We would say to
our young friends in the country, 'Lot well !
enough alone.' lie not deceived bv the attractions
and secmi g pleasures of the great
city. These Heeling shows and temporary
enjoyments are often bought at two high a
price, and sometimes cost reputation, health,
an I life. Remain in the honest, health}*,
and virtuous country. Put your hand to
the plough and the harrow, engage in the
noble arid elevated pursuit of farming, or
turn your eye to the Mibstantial work-bench.

LADY BYRON,

of I lie wild genius whose wild erratic fire,
while it startled the rough world with its

within its own domestic circle? Hidden
under the pale cheek and quiet countenance, i
there may lie the smouldering embers of pas- j
sions that once shot their flames through the ,
very veins of the Bard. But they now sleep I
so profoundly, that one must disbelieve they
ever existed. The mystery must die with

TiiE SLAVER CAPTAIN. I
We lind in the Pennsylvania!) a very novol
and interesting document, purporting to 1
be a conversation with the captain of the
Ijarqtio runs, which at the lime o! her cap* <
turc had !)00 slaves on board. We give it I
as a rare and curious piece of sophistry. In- 1
stead of being a ferocious pirate, as one J
would have a right to suppose, following |
such occupation, he is represented to be ra
ther a well cuucnied, well disposed kind of j'
a man, speaking good English, besides two , J
or three continental tongues, inclined to take 1
good care of the negroes lie was bringing <
from Africa, and to inflict as litlly punish- I
mont upon them, as the case would admit, s
Tli s is mentioned to show that the views j
expressed bv him 011 the subject, may have i
been sincerely held. i
Speaking on llie subject of the slave trade I
with hint subsequently to bis capture, he I
said: "I have no doubt you look upon this j 1
trade as the greatest of crimes, and we who j!
pursue it as men of utterly abandoned hearts. !?
You think we know it to he as bad as you i
believe it to be, and thus knowing it to be
opposed to all that is good and right, we yet |
nnrviio it fur mom <r:hii. It is true." added ;
Ilo, "it is for train we pursue il at I lie risk we I
do, but it is nut true that we consider it sr> i
bad as you do, or any more wrong than t
violating the laws by siuiigglihg, And you *
would think il still stranger," added lie, "if I i
were lo assure you that i not only do not ;
tlnnk it wrong, but that it is for the best in f
lerests ot the African race in general, and f
those carried away in particular." I
' Jlow," asked our informant, "can it be :
right or beneficial to take a human being a- t
way from his home and country, and make <
him ;uslave?" t
"From country and home," said the cap- <
tain with a sneer. " The negro knows nothing
of either; he is scarcely a remove above i
the monkeys ami apes; wo take Imn away
from a place where his life is hourly in jeopaidy,
ami his station hut on a level with the
brutes, and lake him to where manhood is
acknowledged, his person protected and eared
Ibr, and his mind enlightened by the precepts
of religion; even though it is slavery,
iiis situation is a thousand times higher, heller,
safer and happier, than it was in his
home in Africa. Why, mv dear sir," con

truth of what he asserted, " I have been in- t
striiincntal in converting more heathens to I
Christianity in :i single voyage, than all the I
Missionaries ;n Africa have done in the la it i
ten years."
Have you ever been in the interior of i
Africa, where the siaves are mostly taken <
from?" coini itied the captain. "If you have <
not, you know nothing of their miserable I
and degraded conditioii, and cannot- juihrc t
r>f the good or the evil lliat is done by their
removal."
"But/'said our informant, "how can you
reconcile your idea of benefitting them with
the fact of putting so many in one vessel, to
their great suffering, and even at the risk of
their lives?"
"That," was the reply, "is not our fault,
but yours. It is forced upon us hy our laws.
If the trade were free and open, we would
not over load our vessels, nor take any more
than could he safely carried; this our interest
and our feelings would dictate?hut now
we arc obliged to lake all we can crowd tn,
because of the risk. If we make one good

to resort to means wc do not approve to
remunerate lor the losses your opposition to
our traffic imposes, if the slave trade was
regulated and not prohibited, the carrying of
negroes from Africa would he no worse
than the carrying of emigrants from Europe
now is. But being illegal, and requiring
concealment, we arc compelled to take more
than we otherwise would, attd frequent Iv
make them suffer to secure our safety?and .
after all," said he, "I would have taken the
negroes you found on board my vessel with
more safety and comfort to America, than
I hey can be taken back to Africa. The moment
we arc out of danger, we do all in our
power to make (Item comfortable, and naturally,
we take care of their health and lives,
for it is our interest to do so?the principle
which you say alone governs our acts."
"Now,'' continued the captain, "let us
lake a more extended view cf the matter;
lor I often look at the subject in its comprehensive
relations, as well as its more immc- j
tiate connexion with our interests. How
nucli do you .suppose the prohibi.ion of the

of (he negro race in Africa, or for the
emancipation or elevation of those in Atneaca?
Those who have been most benefited
by it arc the slaveholders of America?
tnd they alone have been benefitted. Their

STRANGE DISCOVERY OK MURDER.
4t -i i r : i * L ?t...
inmost wit: lasi case nj nou; m which iiic
[oriiirc was used in France before I he rovoutton,
was one of a very extraordinary na*
lire. An English Catholic lady named
Burton, when travelling in Bagneres, slopled
at an inn where she had I idgcd before. 1
There was but one double-bedded room un- 1
iccttpicd, and Mrs. Burton was obliged to 1
Hit up wi'h that,as the only accommodation ;
which could bo obtained for herself and I
waiting-inaid. 'The latter, after she had atended
her mistres, prepared to retire her- 1
self, but when nearly undressed, caught a I 1
'Innpscot nor ngure m a large meunou um-j
or which stood opposite the bed. Charmid
with her own appearance, the words, Ah, 1
'(/, ptau blanche! ah. It:, joli bias ! (what a
"air skin ! what a pretty arm !) escaped her, 1
ivith other expressions of vanity natural to 1
i French girl of her age. At last, pleased '
uid satisfied with herself, she retired to rest, 1
ind soon foil into a profound sleep. 1
When she awoke in the morning, she ap- 1
iroachcd the bed of her mistress, and drew '
isuJe tlie curtains (or lite purpose of waking 1
)cr. Judge what was her horror on beholdng
her mistress swimming in blood! she lit- '
ereu a piercing crv, anil fell backwards, (
senseless. The landlord on hearing the
shriek, ran up stairs, burst open the door,
mil beheld a sight which, for a moment,
rozo him with terror. He called up his
servants to whose care he consigned the uninppy
wailing maid, and directed them to
Utend her whilst he went to make the mater
known,to a magistrate, 'l ite latter proveiled
to the place, and ordered the servant
<> 1)0 detained until lurtlicr imlormation
:oii!d bo ptoctircd.
The proceedings were lonii: the maid i
ivjis subjected to examination, and as nothing
ippcnrcd to criminate her, she was set at
iberiy. ibit this Ivas iml stidioiont I'm* hoc;
;lie possessed one o! those prondiv delicate
spirits, gto whom irreproachable innocence
lppeared an absolute waul. She therefore
jonsidcred that by a mere legal discharge
Votn the accusation, she had not been coin
detely exonoratcd ; and she determined to
eside for some time longer in the town, to
>btain from I ho tribunal of public opinion the
'u I lest possible jnstiliration. !<*? ?i* this purpose
she took lodgings at n milliner's, who
urppiied her with work, ami enabled her to
ive without exhausting the little sum she
lad saved from her earnings whilst with
Mrs. Burton.
After having thus been employed for
icarly two months, she had occasion one
lay to go to a fruiter's shop, near a cabinetmaker's.
One of tue men, who was amusing
limsclf in singing, sui^enly stopped, and a!or
obscrving'her for a moment, said, Ah. In.
pc.au. blanche ! ah, le joli bras! Recollection
flashed across her mind, it became evident
that these expressions, directed to her,
could have only been heard front her own
mouth, when she used thetn under circumstances
described.
A suspicion arose in her mind against the
man. She related the circumstances to a
magistrate, and he was apprehended. The
usual forms of criminal proceedings were
gone through, but without producing anything
further against the accused. This
case was considered'to be one for the application
of torture. The man confessed that
he was hidden under a bod, in the room
where Mrs. Burton and her maid slept; that
he had remarked the conduct of the latter,
notwithstanding his constrained position,
from which he did not move until the people
of the house had retired to bed; and then
with a gag and poinard, he committed the
murder in silence" and escaped with the
purse he found under the lady's pillow.?
The maid owed her safety to her profound
sleep, and the hope he entertained that all
suspicions of the murder would fall upon her.
The report of a surgeon was obtained,
from which it appeared that die wound had
been inflicted on the deceased bv a shnpeut
ting instrument, such as described. This
evidence, with the fact that the man soon
after the murder had spent money very profusely,
which lie could not have obtained
honestly, the relation of the servant girl and
the confession of himself, were considered
sufficient ground for his condemnation, and
his execution look place immediately.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
It is the grand defect of the science of fe.
ninie education in this country that it is too
much the science of mere behavior. It aims
too much at mere accomplishments, neglects
that which is lastingly useful, and tends to
produce a heartless, artificial character. It
is true there are endless "'ologies'* in which
the ladies now delight; plenty of arts and
sciences, which fashion mists they must be
tought, and of dialects which they l >vc to
palter; but it is for show riot for service, we
fear that these things arc learned. "With
all our respect for them, we must say we
deem the moulding of the heart, the education
of I he character, in he infinilnlv mom
important. The mothers of the most celebrated
men have been far mora remarkable
for strength of character than I or genius or
acquirement? a strength of character, which
is not incompatible with fomcninc softness
of lechrig. This education of character does
not at all preclude intcllccluar education;
we only ask that women should ieai'n to
use their minds as well as their memories,
and the heart keep up that "communication
which in modern belles, is as irregular as
the transmission of the mails."
All systems, However i>y which young
women arc toughi to move their limbs according
to the rule of art, t<? enter a room
with a studied diffidence, and to seat themselves
in a chair with measured action and
studied grace, should ho utterly exploded":
lor they arc only calculated to keep perpetually
to their minds the degrading idea that
they are preparing for the great market of
the world. Real propriety of demeanor
springs only from the mind; fashionable
schools teach hut its counterfeit, while they
forbid to be ingenuous. In such places the
whole of early life is spent in getting rid of
natnro nml in 111 ? nnftinn'tn^nt rti nrtin^A.
till the heart an;I mind arc no more like that
for which they were at first intended, than
the tree which some laborious cit has trained
into the shape of a peacock is hko that
which has grown up in all the vigoious luxuriance
of its native forest. Sonic minds
[here are by nature so strong and elastic as
to rebound from the pressure of such an
education into the region of natural "enthusiasm
and innocent true hcartcdncss, but the
mass arc so moulded that they are paste
board, whalebone anil buckram things, creatures
of pullery and arlifice, whose every
word, look, and act, every thin?r they do, is
but a trick of custom. Well has it been said
of' one who " finished her education" at such
an establishment, thai " when she marries
her days of happiness are cone." The tra?r
sicnt ornaments ol youth pass away, and no
solid attainment remains to supply their
place. Neglected time returns to take long
years ol vengeance for the hours that have
been lost. She has learned notion!;, she
knows nothing, and siio is nothing. In the
meantime her husband wakes to see tho
the truth: ho may not use: her ill, he may not
reproach her: but he may and must regard
her as an insect buzzing over his
path, adding nothing to his happiness,sometimes
hardly attracting his notice, never
admitting her as a counsellor in his'plans,
