A POETRY. MV lUTiEJTS 15IBLE. by u. p. MoKKia. Thi* book in all that’n left me now!— Team will unbidden wtart— With fluttering lip and throbbing brow, 1 prens it to my heart. For many generationa pa«t, Here is our family troe; Mv mother’s hand thw Bible clasp’d; Hhe dying, gave it me. Ah! well do I remember those Whose names these records bear: Who round the hearth-stone used to dose, After the evening prayer, And speak of what these pages said, In tones my heart would thrill! Though they are with the silent dead, Here are they loving still! My father read this loving still! To brothers, sisters dear; How calm was my poor mother's look Who learn'd God’s word to hear! Her Angel tace—I see it yet! What thronging memories come! Again that little group is met Within the halls of home! Thou truest friend man ever knew, Thy constancy I’ve tried; Whore all were talse, I found thee true, My counsellor and guide. The mines of earth no treasures give That could this volume buy: In teaching me the way to live, It taught me how to die. MISCELLANEOUS. . HIM IV SEljU'H (IF HIS FATHER; Or a Mistake that wasn't a Mistake, after all. BY JACK ItCMPUKIRS. The migratory Irish coming into this country a* they Ho in gangs and ships annually, and detached families—a fa ther at one time, and a daughter or son at another—now a bevy of three sis ters, then an ‘ ould mother’—estranges or scatters them that it would require a first rate surgeon to put the members (family shaking )together again. And, this being a great country, with a vast extent of territory, and the unsophisti cated MUeness having a very lax idea of geography, and a much inxer profi ciency in the mysteries and science of /e/Mer-writing and directing, are often obliged to leave tilings to time and Pro vidence—sources that often work won ders in bringing together wandering friends, and forming strange tableaux. Some years ago, an emigrant shiji landed a large freight of Irishmen on Long Wharf, in the city of Boston. An.oivg the rest was a brave Irish bov yclept Patrick Dean, who was in quest of hts father—a gentleman who had “ come over ” some fourteen long vears previously; and who leaving bi-hind him, in ould Ireland, a wife and child, (master Pat and his mother,) after some years of patient toil, the ould man be thought him it would be as well to send for his family, now that he was master of some acres of mother earth in th^ West. But all of a sudden like, it oc curred to Mr. Dean that, just as like as not he had no family, inasmuch as he had no distinct idea of hearing anything about *.hem for the previous four or five years? He had kept up an occasional remittance and hoped they were well, and informed them now and then that he lived in the illoggjtf State of New York, and all tlMi iwruliar, indefinite brevity of nnmtupr letter writers. But as is generally the case, the condoling letters only now and then “went through,” and finally failed to reach their destination altogether, the poor wife suffering for the honesty earned, and freely remitted little drafts, which fell into impious hands regular as clock work. Mr. Dean finally made another effort to open a correspondence with liis wife and child, which proving of no account at all, he gave it up; and went on his way to make a fortune. From a hand cart, he marched into a red horse cart; fronrWt horse and cart to a grocery; from the grocery to a farm; politics followed, and at the end of the fourteenth year of his residence in Ame rica, Barney Dean had an “ Esq.” to his name, and a seat upon the magistrates, bench of the town of J , not a hundred miles south-west of the Houriab- ing city ot Buffalo. But all this amoun ted to little, seeing Barney Dean, Esq., had no chick nor child to help him en joy lus fine estate. But Paddy Dean lauded in Boston, with a bit o* a stick in one hand and good sized bundle of wordlv gear tied up in the other. Fif teen shillings two-pence in his pocket, a heart under his vest, and a pair of hea vy brofuns ujmn his feet, faith, Paddy, my boy, was just the boy to begin his tour in sArch of his farther—in real good ar-nest! Paddy knew it was New York—it was—his father had laat been heard of them; and so down he goes to the city to begin his examination, and not until his isst ha’ponh was gone, did Paddy- Dean get a pig’s whisper of his worthy progenitor’s whereabouts. Then it was iicrely speculative; a friend informing liim that he had heard one Phittp Dun- imgau spake of# Hugh Murphy, who had worked upon the 24th section of the Pennsylvany eanawl, under a Con naught man by the name of E -mn; and so by want of letter information, poor Paddy, hundle in hand, started for Phila- deliy, working his passage along among the farmers; and in the course of ten days Paddy reached the Quaker cltr, * find then made tracks for the eanawl- where sure enough he learned tliut a Mr. Dean had bossed it on a section there, about a year before, and in a i mistake-like, ran away wid de funds, between two fine days, leaving the poor Paddies in the ditch; and they further consoled Paddy, by saying the ould di- vil had turned up in Ohio—getting out stone for the new penitentiary! The information was not exactly desirable or complimentary of Paddy Dean’s father; but that di<l not alter relationship in the laste; and the fact of the “ ould fel ly liavinglFolted with the rocks led poor Paddy to follow up tlie pursuit w itli re newed confluence. He found no difli- culty to work his way along West; and when at last poor Pat reached the pork -State capital, he had the misfortune to 1 ' find Mr. Dean was not Barney Dean— j the father of Patrick Dean—nor kith I nor kin of his—at all, at all! ‘Oh niurthur,’ sighed poor Paddy; i 1 ‘ it’s all my trouble thrown to the divil, ' ' and all my illegnnt dhrnines of ase and comfort, and a place to lay down my ‘ Hunting yer father?’ What was yen spend an evening in conversation untill father's name?’ we were acquainted with each other ‘Dean, stir—Barney Dean of Con- and after that if she should like me well naught Ireland,’ ; enough, I would take her home to be ‘ A ml yer mother’s name was, was—’ my wife—but if she could not lie sat- ‘ Margaret IX-an, sur.’ | istied with uiy habits, manners and char- And your name: ‘ Patrick Dean, sur.’ ‘ Hurah!

THIS Journal, the first number of which appeared on the 3d November, 1846, has since its commencement, steadily advoca ted the principles then announced by it, as those which should actuate its conductors, and the Proprietor refers to its columns as the best criterion of the correctness of his assertion.
