I FROM cAnv’s ri.nAsuiu«is or NATURE‘,
’1‘HE‘VlLLAIN, MAN.
S/token by a Mother to her infant Daughter.
Thy rest is mild, my darling child,
-Thy visions bright, thy pillow smooth,
And sweet the smile, that plays the while,
And dimples round thy coral mouth :
But not so mild, my darling child,
I ‘ill be thy rest’-—it never can 5
If e’er you prove, like me, the love
And friendship of the villains-Man l
Yet be thy rest, thy visions blast,
Blcst though with grief I sigh sincere;
Though oft these sighs, for thee arise,
()ft mingles with thy milk a tear‘-
()h,could my breast, thy bed of rest
Forever be, that I might fun _
In thine those fires that heaven inspires,
And shield thee from the villuiii--l\'l'an .1
It makes me sigh, to think that I
Could once have slept as sound as thee ;
And sadly weep, to think that sleep
Shall never more my portion be.
’ To win my love, thy father strove,
And veil’d with seeining7i_'f'rutli his plan;
But, ah I betray'd, a witleiss maid-—
The villain--oh the villain—-‘M an I
And thus with art, child of my heart 1
\Vi1l he dififuse the lying smile,
And call each prayer, the gods to hear,
And thy unpracttc’d ‘heart bcguile.
VVait not to prove,child of my love l
VVait not his proff-er’d vows to scan ;
Be thine to By, or you will sigh,
And-curse, like me, the villain——Man l
To deserts wild, my darling child!
Be thine with innocence to fly ;
And like the buds, that gem the woods,
Bloom only to the vernal sky :
Soft ling'ring there, with tender care,
Thy mother’s spirit oft shall fan .
Those holy fires, that heaven inspires, _
And guard thee from the villain-—-M:.m l

_ UPS AND DOVVNS.
Ilfr. Printer-1 am a Dutchman of some little
consequence; but being lame in one leg, have
had many ups and downs in life. From my ear-
liest remembrance, when my mother used to toss
me up and down, to the present time, I have been
going tip or down continually ; and never, till my
arrival in this country, had any doubt of the mean-
ing of those words. The ups and downs which I
suffered under the up and down star of Napoleon:
made me heartily tired of my own country, and I
came to this country in a vessel, which kept
throwing me up and down continually, while my
food was no sooner down my throat, than it began
to make preparations to come up again. V'Vhen
I first came ashore, the land went up and down, as
had the vessel, so that I verily thought I had
made a poor exchange of countries. My limping
faculty was sadly disturbed, and ran hastily up
one leg and down the other, in search of its last
and usual abode; while my legs themselves, like
hens in an argument, kept hopping up and down
in a very untimely manner, and, as if doubting
which was which, seemed to be puzzling them-
selves about the doctrine of identity. I will not
be positive that it was so, but it seemed so to me.
To return. All these ups and downs were per-
fectly intelligible, corresponding entirely with an
early impression of mine, that ‘ up is up, and
down is down’-—two fundamentals, which no as-
tronomical notions have ever been able to disturb.
But the ups and downs in the English language,
of which I am now compelled to speak, have con-
fused my veiierable ideas ; and which is up and
which is down, I know no- more than a toad in a
sling. You eat your food up, and you s~.v2.llow it
down. You put up beef, and you put down but-
ter. You follow game up, and you run gaine
do wn. You are right down mad, and you are
right up about it. You trip a man up, and knock
a man down. You cut corn up, and you cut corn
down. You pay up, and you pay down. You are
taken down with a fever, and you are laid up with
a cold——and while you allow that a man is quite
down, you still insist that he is fairly done up.
I mean to be right up and down with you, Mr.
Printer ; and I tell you plainly, if you do not
make a bullet‘ language, you may talk it yourself;
for I can talk high and low Dutch, a word of each
alternately, and have less ups and downs in a
whole volume, than in a single page of your zig-
zag lingo.

Sing”??? 61.761477?-‘3fl17.1ce.-—\j/Ve lately published
an advertisement, offering $200 reward for the
apprehension and conviction of the person or per-
sons who had murdered one of the Iusnectors
employed by the Schuylkill Navigation Company.
The advertisement gave an account of the finding
of the horse belonging to the person murdered,
and a description of the man, his dress, Sac. In
consequence of thisradvertisement, two men were
arrested on suspicion of being the Murderers, and
have for some time been confined in the state
prison.
We now learn that the Inspector, who was sup-
posed to have been murdered, has returned home
and given the following accountof himself:--On
the night he "went away he drank some liquor,
What» he cannot tell, which partially deranged his
mind. The first thing he recollects after having
left the house in Montgomery county, where he
drank theliquor, is his being in Baltimore; here
he appears to have drank some more of the same
liquor he had drank in Pennsylvania, for again he
lost all recollection of what occurred until he
found himself in Pittsburg. At Pittsburg, again
he forgot himself so for us to have no recollection
of what took place, until he was t:tken up atClcve-
land in 01110» in consequence ofthe advertisement
ofhis murder, which had been re-published there.
VVhen the inspector left Pennsylvania he had a-
b0Ul£ 1000 d0llal'5. and when he returned from his
travels, he had 914 dollars. VVe make no com-
ments.

looking into a chalk well near Doddington, they
were alarmed by the sound of a human voice issu-
ing from it; they immediately procured a ladder
and descended, when to their great surprise they
founda young woman in a state of excessive ex-
h_aus'.i_on. she having been in this deplorable situa-
tion szxtccrz (lays, without any other support than
a small quantity of water which occasionally drip-
ped into the well. She stated that proceeding
l_rometvard on Monday. the 6th September, she
fellinto the well, which had been uncovered‘; that
during her agonizing confinement, she had re-
peatedly hcartl the voices and whistling ofplougb-
men and of persons passiiig that way, but could
not make her own voice reach them, being at a
depth of nearly 40 feet below the surface of the
earth. She had endeavored to form steps by rais-
ing pieces ofchalk, but they had constantlyigiven
way, thus increasing her despair at every disap-
pointment. VVe are happy to add that she re-
ceived very little injury from her fall, and is now
rapidly recovering the effects of fear and fasting.

A whimsical account how the _;‘£zmo.'zs Dr. Svuift be.
came Dean Q/‘St. Patric.k’s. '
The Dean was at one time in as low circum-
stances, asany poor Poet who lived in a garret or
cellar could be, but kept the first company occa-
sionally, and was much admired for his classical
knowledge.
It happened that a certain Lord paid his atl-
dresses to a young lady of rank and fortune. This
nobleman had for three years a young girl in
keeping. The lady he courted said, sir, I cannot‘
think of marrying you until you have got the la-
dy you were familiarly connected with a husband.
This nobleman who had the Deanery of St. Pat-
rick in his gift found out Swift one morning, and
told him nearly as follows : Mr. Swift, I pay my
addresses to a young lady of rank and fortune, and
I expect to be married to her as soon as I can do
away one circumstance. which is, I lived with a
beautiful girl for nearly three ‘years whom I sedu-
ced ; she has poor relations, and the lady I court
will not marry me hearing that I had a mistress
in keeping, until this girl is married and provided
for: now I have to inform you that I have this
deanery ofSt. Patrick’s in Ireland, at my disposal,
which is worth nearly a thousand a year, which
I will present you with, as I believe you are not
very rich, provided you will marry her.-—-The
Dean said he would on condition that he should
first be inducted into the deansbip. The noble-
man said, if you will give me your bond under a
penalty, to marry this young lady, I will induct
you ; which was done immediately after and the
bond executed, and the Dean was by agreement,
to marry the nobleman to the lady the same day.
The Dean being inductedin the deanery appear-
ed in his robes at the church on the day appoint-
ed, and married the nobleman, who said lam
glad, Mr. h‘wift, to find you are very punctual:
now we are married Here is the lady you are to
marry—'l‘he dean replied he was ready, and said,
where is the man I am to marry her to 3 the no-
bleman said, she is to be your wife. The dean
said, look afthe bond, I only bound myself offi-
cially, as a minister, to marry her to any person-—
but I have not the least desire of making her my
own wife—-"and so I wish your lordship a good
sion for me.

The following ludicrous adventure took place
in the stateof New-Jerscy,not a century ago i ‘A
young clergyman went to pay a visit to a senior
brother parson, who resided on the sea coast.-—
During his stay, he was invited by his friend to
go a fishing ; to this the young gentleman readily
acceded, and asthey were proceeding on their
excursion, asked what fish_they should be likely
to take I His friend l‘eplic(l that they should prob-
ably get some weak fish "and devil fish. After
trying for some time, they hooked a large devil,
who immediately swam off and dragged the boat
with considerable velocity. The senior parson
burst out into a hearty laugh. while his friend, ap-
parently mueh alarmed, inquired the cause of
his laughter. The old gentleman replied, he was
laughing at the idea of the devil running away
with two parsons.
Freight or1’assage.-—An illiterate shop-keeper,
having an empty cask, which he WlSl:e(l to dis-
pose of, placed it before his door, and with a piece
of chalk, wrote upon it ‘ FOR SAIL.’ A wag-
gish Sailoi‘ passing that way shortly after, and
perceivingtlie mistake of the ‘ vendor of wares,’
immediately wrote underneath’, ‘ For freiglit or
passage, apply at the bung-hole.’

1i'xImct_/i'om the Rev. Dr. Latizro/.z’s Sermons.
Religion does not consist in little niceties and
trifling distinctions, which neither influence the
heart nor concern the practice; nor in the ob-
servance or rejection of particular rites and forms,
which a man may use or disuse without preju-
dice to real virtue in himself or others; nor in a
zealous attachment to, or angry abhorence of, this
sect, or that church, in which, as in most other
fields, there are some tarcs and some wheat ; but
in something more excellent and divine. That,
in a word, _is true religion which makes a good
man ,- which renders one pious towards his God,
conformed to the pattern of his Saviour, benevo-
lent to his fellow men, humble in his temper and
manners, peaceable in society, just in his treat-
ment of all, condescending in cases of difference,
strict in the government of himself, patient in ad-
versity, and attentive to his duty in all conditions
and relations of life. V‘/lieii you see such a_char-
acter, you may believe that religion is there.-—
'\Vhen you find this to be your character, you may
believe tliat wisdom has entered into your heart.
You are ‘.0 distinguish between truth and er-
ror, and to embrace the one and reject the other;
but never lay great weight on things which have
no relation to practice, nor make light of things
which are immediately connected with duty. If
you see a man meek, huinble, psaceable, sober
and benevolent, careful to practice piety himself,
and to promote it among others, you may think
him religious, though you suppose him to have
adopted some groundless opinions‘. If you see
one contentious about l“.‘ll_t;iI)l’l, condemning all
who think not as he does, busy in sowing the
seeds of discord, and in causing divisions among
brethren, and more zealous to in-ake proselytes to
his 0W1‘. party and opinion, than to make good
men of his prosclytes ; whatever you may think
of his heart, you will at least conclude, that his
zeal isnot according to knowledge.
jlfacklinls Aclvicc to his Son.——‘ I have often told
you that every man must be the maker or marrer
of his own fortune. Irepeat the doctrine: he
who depends upon incessant i7za’u.stry and z'nzegrz'-
ty, depends upon patrons of the noblest, the most
exalted kind: they are the creators of fortune and
fame, the lounders of families, and never can dis-
appoint or desert you. They control all human
dealings, and turn even vicissitudes of unfortu-
nate tendency to a contrary nature. You have
genius, you have learning, you have industry at
times, but you want ['.‘:?2'8€‘Ut'1‘(l?lCC; without it you
can do nothinrr. I. bid you wear this motto in
your mind constantly—-‘ Pr-ziisiivianrz.’
