"John Phoeaix," tlie inimitable wit, tlui!
tells an incident connected with a ride-or
tMi New York Central Railroad. He re
lates it in a letter to the Knickerbockei
Magazine, and puts it on record to serve a?
a caution to future innocent travelers. He
says its?.
' I had observed that at each change ol

ther inound in wliose bosom is entombed my
j- father Clayton. Has an orphan's eye met
these pages ? one whom no parents' love
d enfolds will grieve with me, as none but
such c<m sorrow. What though glittering
^ gold and sparkling diamonds adorn, and
llatterer's smooth tongued accents greet
* you in every strain, there is an aching void
r these cannot All, there is a bond of sympathy
between us; wo will love each other
bettor, you will read my story and forgivo
o my weakness.
() "No gentle form above U8 bends
To soothe tlic couch of jiain?
() Nor voice so fond as theirs, essays
To calm tlie feverish brain.
U Oh, oilier tongues may whisper love,
In accents soft nnd mild,
But none on enrth so pure as that
^ A parent bears a child ;
No faithful voice directs their steps,
. Or bids them onward press;
L And if they pang a konnin wrung,
} God help the fatherless."
E> The two succeeding years, I resided with
> Mr. Grey to whose guardianship father
> Clayton left me ; his only child Clara had
, been my first and only intimate friend at
) school; there was an air of dignity which
j commanded respect together with an affee
? nonaic connmng disposition which made
^ her a favorite with nil. I had become hopej
less in my search of Marion, and notwith*
standing all that surrounded me to bring
) pleasure I was unhappy?Clara's sympathy
. and Mr. Grey's reasoning only added to my
wretchedness. I had strolled on the lawn
? to be alone, my thoughts busy with the
: scenes that transpired two years before.
IIow different froin the lowering clouds
5 and crashing elements was this calm evening
; on its breeze was borne Clara's soft
voice mingling in harmony with the harp's
mellow strains ; but its sweetness was not
in unison with my reflections, and aloud I
gave vent to the thoughts of my bosom :
Oh, Marion art thou still alive ! to what
= isle of the ocean shall I go to claim thee,
or uoes my mamy jorm lie mouldering be- !
, neath the sod of some lonely valley, an1?!
- shall thy sister know no kindred tie ! Oh,
r my soul longs for a kindred spirit; one
$ whose tongue breathes not unmeanning flattery
; one whose love would shield from
f every frown! Can it be, such sadness fills
the heart of one at whoso feet so many
" bow. I sprang to my feet, the blood
' mounting to my cheek, for I knew the
voice" of Henry Howard ; I know not why
i his presence ever filled me with agitation
, before him ; my usual self-possession van"
ishcd, and I was subject to his will. Be
^ calm, 6aid he, and listen to me. I median*
} ically resnmed my seat.?"You long for a
s kindred spirit whose love would shield from
? every frown, let that bourne be mine; for
| believe me, 'tis no flatterer's oath when I
swear, by atl my honor holds sacred, I have
| loved you long, deeming.j^one, 'if I should
- love some bright particular star and wish to
' wed it.' But feelings must excuso my presumption
which emboldens me to ask the hei\
ress of wealth, at whose shrine so many bow
fO grant me the right to claim so great a
K Measure as my own. Together'let us search
earth's remotest lands for the brother you so
c much mourn."
f Where had fled my reason that such
i language subdued me; I who had scorned
- the love breathed in purer words, listened
1 to these of a demon, r It was destiny goad~
ed mo on! yea, it wa$t|atc ruled the unhap

am informed that Marion Poole receivtt
the first position. I tremble to know if ii
is the same whoso pnrents were drowned ir
a shipwreck, leaving on charity their chil
dren Marion, Mary and Ange ; I feel sc
much coufidence in the hope, I will tell you
the fate of Mary : The gentleman and
lady who took me from you adopted me
forbidding me ever to mention our father't
name. I received from them all that the
daughter of the aristocratic and wealthy
Maj. Norton could have wished, and none
knew that I was only his protege. My
thoughts were ever busy in some plan to
find my brother or sister, but what could I
do. With this secret untold I married
some months since Col. Clanton. and even
now lie does not know but those from
wliom lie received me were my real parents.
Major Norton, recently deceased, has left
me heiress of his wealth. I fear my husband's
pride, I fear he will scorn me, in
spite of Kis affection, to find the deception
practiced on him. But write one word nnd
assure mo I err not in supposing you my
brother, and I will tell him all then, throw
myself on his love for forgiveness?if ho

A long lost sister,
MARY POOLE CLANTON.
ATusftvUle, Tenn.% May 4, 1842.
You cannot imagine my delight, he continued.
On its reception I answered it immediately
and in two weeks came on. On
reaching Nashville, was told Col. Clanton
had gone away suddenly, no ono knew
why nor where. I told to every one our
history, but was laughed at and called a
maniac. Since then I have wandered like
one in a dream. Three days ago I stopped
in a little village, around the tavern were
standing several gentlemen ; I, as usual,
told my character and search, promising
reward to any who could give information.
One of the party came forward saying, he
could without reward assist ine in my
search. lie then told me he was Col.
Clanton, the husband of the sister. A friend
had tempted him to doubt how bitterly he
had grieved her fate, even when ho thought
her guilty?of his meetings with you at
the forest Cabin, and reccntlv hearing vour
< * a J
history lio Lad started to visit Mary's grave,
and to learn from you llic truth of the
story.?"Oh, Ange, my little sister, I .cannot
be with you long, my breath grows short.
You will forgive Col. Clanton, even as I
have, a nobler heart never throbbed than
he possesses. In his care, I can leave our
mother's Ange ; bury ine by Mary and
come often and sit near us. Others must
tell you the cause of my untimely death ;
for him who took my life, for g^ld, I prxy
earnestly God will forgive, even as ^ do.
I have heard the devotion of your father
Clayton and shall love to sleep boriflethim.
Col. Clanton will tell you all; I have not
breath or strength to say niftfe.
lias not the life of Ange Clayton been
one of sorrow. Could one over whom so
many storms have passed ever feel pleasure.
It is strange how much the heart can bear
and rise above it, even more buoyant than
before. It is true, from my window is visible
the grave of a father I mourned to lose;
a brother and sister, too, lie beneath tlie
oak trees' shade, and memory brings the
being whose baseness taughts^me how low
God's crent urea could fall, but his hands
took the life of a fello^r being and then his
own. I can feel but thankful artd see, even
in Marion's death, the interposition of Providence.
Many years have flown and "time
assuaged my youthful sorrows. Rose
Bower is'again to me a happy home. Tlrt

The sinootli surface of ilio silver winding
river Charles is now frequently dotted with
their long light clippers, crawling over '.lie
water with their six oars like so many sixlegged
caterpillars. Hardly any out-of-door
exercise is more attractive atid heneficient
to men than this. The fresh exhilaration of
the free air and pleasant scenes through
which the rowers on a river glide are worth
a cart load of health "panaceas." It would
be well if the youth of our city took more
advantage of our water facilities fur pleasant
exercise. The 4th of July regattas have
turned the attention of some to it, and if it
could l>e much increased the river Charles
might become a fountain of life-giving vigor
to our worn, hardthinking brains.
In England, the Thames is dotted with
the "fuur oars," and "six oarn," and the "pair
of oars." as on fine evenings they skim the
stream, cheered by the smile of beauty and
the hurrahs of the interested spectators.
But rowing is only one of the means of
physical education at the disposal of.. Bostonians.
Our glorious park of forty acres;
tliat undulating "Common ; those towering
trees," through whoso tracery you catch frequent
beams from that western horizon
which "opes to the sunset a gateway of gold
this broad surface invites the early morning
game of ball or the twilight game of cricket.
Football used to be, "when we were boys together,"
a grand stimulant to all the powers
of masculine development; and if blackened
shin? and bruised heads sometimes broke the
harmony of the sport, 'twas but a moment,
and the glorious game rolled on.
Mr. Webster once said of an eminent
^pgtonian, who is still living, that "it was a
prodigious pitjr lie Had no single taste whose
gratification would take him out of his hotair
library into the open air." Webster's
own massive mental wear could never have
been manufactured except by a sound mind
in a- sound- body, uineiia suna in corpore
tano.n There has been some discussion
lately about his using tobacco. He used it,
but only for a very short season. But what
he did use permnmentlv, as is well knowu,
. was out-of-door exercise in every form. - Even
horso-back riding, which was not peculiarly
favorable to his habit of body, was nevertheless
quite a favorite exercise with him, even
till an advanced period of life. Another of
our Massachusetts great men, John Quincy
Adams, used to take very long walks before
breakfast, when ho was in Congress, and in*
the dead of winter would have the ice of
> the Potomac cut to enjoy his daily river
batch.
Frederick the Great used to declare- that
"nature evidently intended mankind for pos

indispensable to the race* but Iter onlySirustake

jVaahL'illc Journal of Medicine,
IIkxiiy Clay's Sox, trrk Democratic
Candidate for Congkess in Ashland
yiSTiticT, Kv.?Some days since, in speaking
of tho course of political event*, Vve incidentally
remarked that if Henry Clay
were now living, he would co-operate with
the Democratic party. This was indignantly
denied by some of the Republican paI
pers, accompanied with tho usual amount
| of billingsgate. And yet we were right.
| This is proved,? * * .
1. By Ilenry Clay's public declaration
in 1850, and by a card signed by Iiim, in
common with many other Whig members
of Congress, in the same year, to the effect
Uiat if ever parties should ^ake such a turn
that one should become sectional, and the
other conservative and national, he would
So for the latter, by whatever name it luigbt
e called. We have not the dechtratidff or
'card before us, but this is the Bubetance of
both. Well precisely that contingency lias
since occurred, and now exists. Therefore
we say that if Henry Clay >yere now alive,
he would co-operate with the Democratic
party.
2. The same tiling is -indicated by the
faty.that a large portion of his political
friends, including those who were nearest in
communion and sympathy with him, have
joined the Democratic party. It is unnecessary
to present proof on this liead.
3^Because all of Mr. Clay's immediate
family, with a single exception, have gone
over to the Democrats, or.at least supported
Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. James
B. Clay, who lias inherited a large share of
liis futber'8 talents, was one of the most active
and efficient speakers in support of Mr.
Buchanan during the Presidential cam
paign, and is now the Democratic Candidate
for Congress in Ashland district, Ky.
He will doubtless bo elected. Tlio Washington
Union say?, "The whole country
will learn with the highest satisfaction that
lie has beeif-iioii'inated by the Democrats."
To show exactly where this gentleman
stands on political" questions, or rather,
where he did stand on the tith of July last,
we copv aisehtence or two from a letter Of
that daNripublislied over his signature r;1n
the Kentucky Statesman, as follows :
"I expect to cast my vote fur that crttodidate
who, in my opinion, may have the

Black Republican party; and, as at present
advised, I think Mr. Buchanan lias the best
chance to do so. J. wish it, nevertheless, to
be distinctly understood, that if I shall
think it tny duty to vote for Mr. Buchanan,
I shall vote as aa old line WMg, making ?
choice of what he believes to be evijs, for
tho* pood of the "country ; and "that'whenever
the Whig standard shall again be
raised, adhering always to the principles
which I have been instrumental in asserting
at Lexington, and at Louisville on the
3d July, 1 slrall be ready,, fairly, honestly
and fearlessly to battle against those principles
and practices of the Democratic parly
which conflict witli otir own views."
