THE WILD FLOWERS.
Wild flowers,‘ wild flowers, I love you Well,
For oflife and liberty ye tell:
Ofsunny fields and cloudless skies,
And tiie forest shade where the zephyr sighs:
Oftlre stream’s smooth brink 8:. the mossy tree,
Scenes where the sad heart pants to be.
When from the earth’s dark breast ye spring,
How sweetly the birds their carols sing;
And oh, what a world oflife and light
In beauty burst on your raptured sight.
The green clad earth and the glorious heav’n,
Bright with the burning hues ofeven.
But torn away from your native glade,
Alas, how swiftly your beauties fade,
Ye cannot live in a foreign sky,
And away from yotir home ye droop and die.
Titus of youth and beauty the brightest iiotirs
Soon fade like you, wild flowers, wild flowers

PROGRESS OF ERROR.
-‘ Jlvoid the appem‘c.'.7rce ofevt'l."'
Great crimes generally spring froui small
he-giiinings, as well as great trees and great.
cities. Tire heart grows hard and wicked by
degrees, and probably the worst man that ever
lived can recollecttlie time when he shudder-
ed, and hesitated, at the idea of cornmitting a
small offence. This truth should he often inr-
pressed upon the young——say to them “ avoid
the appearance 01 evil,” for every time you
deliberately do a wrong thing,you potir a (l()S(3l
of poison into the heart, which will tend to
destroy conscience, and break down -tire prin-
ciples of virtue, you otigiit to cherish.
The traveller who put tip at the olti sign of
the Gen. W:iy'rie, in Aiesbury, some fifteen or
eighteen years ago, Iprotnise yotr, did not
leave that house without shaking hands with,
and praising somewhat Montgomery Rosco,
the iiikeeper’s son, as fine ti little boy as ever
blessed a parent with the fttll blossoming of
early promises. He was so obedient to his
parents, so attentive and respectful to stran-
gcrs,so kind and invariably polite to every one,
and with all, he learned so smart at school,
that every one loved and admired him.
Few youths ever left liomewitii fairer pros-
pects and with better character than did
Morrrgomery. when at the age of fifteen, he
was sent to Philadelphia, anti put under the
care of a business doing merchant, that he
might get such air insightinto the business,as
would justify his father in setting him up ina
store in Aicshury, for this was the destiny he
had tnarked out for his favourite child. l:lis
history is exactly in point in establislring r.-'li:rtf'
I said at the beginning ; SI. tho’ few may liare
passed thro’ as singular it complication ofcir-
ctiinstances in their way, I am fully satisfied
that his, in all its main arid general fcatures,is
the history ofthozisanils.
I said he was apprerrticcd to a merchant-—-
it was to one l\li'.‘.‘rlar'ltley, his master esteem-
ed him highly and placed in him unlimited
confidence. For 11. little while he rernembt2r-
ed the l-.irrd admonition of his firitlrful father,
and bestowed great care on the 111'.'lll_t_?1‘ of se-
lecting conip:.niy—-was coiiscietitioiis in the
tiischargc of every duty-——and trictl as well as
he was able to avoid the appearance of evil.
One day, however, he went to a neighbouring
tore a moment to see a young" gentleman and
return a borrowed book. His friend, very
politely, drew a glass of wine from one of the
t.-aslts, and pressed him to dririk——lie did so,
and departed.
The next day the some person stepped in
to see him—-lie lrappened to be alone-——and
the strong desire not to be bchintlliand with
his new neighbor, overcatne the scruples of
conscience ; anti he treated him in return to a
glass of wine. In the hurry of the moment,
he did not stop the liquor pr‘oper'l_v.——l.lis inas-

looked at him sr:ai'chin:;ly——tlieii turned and
stopped the liquor tight hiuzself. ‘
The nextmorniiig the satire young gentle-
man stepped into the store and asked Mr. M.
to sell 'nim a cask of such wine as Moiitgoirit:-

the truth next titne.———’I‘lie exposure was too
lilltillilfllltlg for the high spirited youth to bear.
lie saw his friend anti entreate-.i him to tell
I‘,Ir_ M, that he drew the wine lritnself. His
friend l?tlt;’l1(:tl and said he would for an oystei’
supper. The bargain was struck——'ne acquit-
ted '.\lom,qonicry in Mr. Mari;ley’s eyes; but
the poor boy was destitute of money. He had
already taken some long steps aside. He took
anothcr—and resorted to‘his master’s drawer
for money to meet the expense ofthe supper
he had protnised.
While they sat in the cellar to which they
had repaired,a gaming board was produced-—
and he was asked to play for a small sttni.—
The thought struck him that here was a chance
to win the money he had taken from his inas-
ter, and return it. lie played and lost. He
played again,anti a_;a'rn,—still he lost.
His error was now ofan alarming charac-
ter. He became despe>rzrte———he took the fur-
ther sums from the contrter, w,liioli were tie-
cessary to pay what he borrowed and lost. It
was missed-—he saw himself liable to be dis-
covered and ruined, and resolved at a single
effort to retrieve his character, by procuring
the stun deficient, and depositing it some-
wliere where it might scetn to have been o-
verlooked.
He rose, late at night——entered the store,
took two hundred dollars and went to a gam-
bling house, where he was confident he coul
win the money. He lost it ; every cent. The
morning (‘.ame—-Mr. M. happened not to ex-
amine the drawer'wlri'ch had contained the
money himself; and at 10' o’clock told Mont-
gomery to carry it to the old bank.
Mr‘. Marltley had a large depositc in anoth-
er bank, and the infatuated youth drew a
check, on that batik, foi‘.the $290 ; signed his
nrastt>r’s name to‘ it, presented it ;and was de-
tccted. I‘-le confessed the whole affair when
it was too late; he lrati intended to dcposite
the tnoncy ire thus attempted to draw in lieu
ofthe money lost, and depended upon chance
to conceal-his crime yet a little while.
Poor fel-ltpw, I saw him, once afterwards,
and with a’tezrr in his eye, and grasping my
hand he said—“I atn going to the State-Pris-
on, for a six-penny glass of wine”-'-alluding
to the first error he coniinitted, and which
llrad led to all the rest.

HENRY CLAY.——Among the master-
spirits of America, we may rank Henry Clay,
whose 11tll11e,lSl1’1ClCl1llfied with her eloquence,
whose voice has been heard inher diplomatic
councils, anti whose inflttencc has been felt
in sotne oftlreleading measures ofher foreign
and domestic policy.
In refcrenceto the domestic circtirnstances
of his hirth,as well as to the political era when
he began
“To view the light of heaven, and breathe
the vital air,”
it may be said ofl‘vIr.Henry Clay, that he was
cradled in clouds, and rocked by the whirl-
wind; to which many may be inclined to at-
tribute the irardiliood ofhis mind‘, and the in-
trepid character of his oratory. In'l776, in
the April of which year Mr.Ciay was borir, in
the State ofVirginia, the elements ofopposi-
tion to a foreign influence assumed that form
which stispciidetl all the advantages and eti-
joyments of social life, and called upon every
tneinber of the coiiriiiti_nity to meet peril and
privation,to encounterhunger anti nakedness,
and fire and sword, in order to strike off colo-
nial fetters, and elevate the country to inde-
pendence and a stibstaritive character among
nations. The effect ofthis state ofthings con-
tinued when the cause was removed ; and
years had elapsed "after the termination ofthe
contest before the‘ dislocated institutions of
civil life could lie perfectly replaced anti re-
established. inauspicious, therefore, was the
age for the cultivation ofjuvenile intellect.-—
Youthful genius, in a majority of instances,
had to rely on its own industry and resources
for the formation of its character; and such
was the necessity which circumstances impo-
sed on Mr. Clay, who is said to have derived
little assistance from the aid oftutors and tire
discipline ofscliools.
, At air early age, l\Ir.Clay removed to Ken-
tucky, where he took an active part in oppos-
ing the alien and sedition laws : anti, after-
wards,iti advocating the cause ofne,~:ro eman-
cipation in his adopted State; and the ability
which be displayed on the occasions obtaitrerl
for him a seat in the State Legislature, from
which, in 1807, he was transferred to the Sun-
ate of the U. States, to serve the remainder
of the term for which Gov. Adair was elected.
—-In 1808, he was again elected to the State
Legislattire, and in 1805-), was once more
transferred to the U. S. Senate, where he re-
mained tintil 1311, when ire l):'3C:1tn"- a rircm-
ber ofthe House offleprcsentativcs, in which
with the exception ofthe 1'."th Congress, and
the interval of his diplomatic residence in Eu-
rope, when he declined a re-election, he has
remaitictl to this day. His promineirt acts in
the Senate, were his argutnents in favor of
the crec-tion of the Pototnacbridge, his de
fence of the occupation of West Florida by
Mr. Madison, and his opposition to the re-
newal of the Bank charter. In the llouse of
’tt-presentatives ho retraccd his fortner opin-
ions rcspecting the bank charter, ratigccl him-
self on the side of that illustrious phalanx
which supported the second _ war ofIndcpen-
deuce, and provedliiinselfthe able advocttte
ofthe Navy, internal Improvements, and Do-
mestic M:inufactnres.- His eilor'ts in favor of
South Aurerican Independence, and on the
Missouri Qnestion,_iiave placed his titiriie in
conspicuous connexion with those irnportaizt
events which so powerfully excited the feel-
ings ofevery class ofthe American comtntin-
ity. The high estimation in which the talents
ofMr. Clay are held by the House of Repre-
sentatives, require no other evidence than the
fact, that-he has been elected Speaker, at the
commencement ofe-very session when he had
a seat in the House, and that his decisions
have been uniformly concurred in. This uti-
varying result is to be attributed, principally,
to his perfect acquaintance with the rules of
the House ; and, secondarily, to the peculiar
weight and atitiiority of nianncr with which
lie delivers his opinions. To the former, the
old and CXl3Ct'lt‘1]C(.’(l, 1'£‘lifll;‘1'- submission ;—
while the latter awe &. control the new incin-
bers rrripntctiserl in the establislicd routine of
lt~gislative proceedings.
In 1814. l\'ir'. Clay was appointed, in con-
junction with t‘vlr. Adams and Mr. Bayard, to
meet the Britisli Coinmissioners at Ghent, for
the purpose ofarrangirig all disputes between
the two countries ; and thence he proceeded
to London and ctirriplctetl his diplomatic mis-
sion. The opportunities which this personal
intercourse ofl'cred him of making hiinselffa-
niiiiar with the oratory of I’-Europe could not,
by a mind impregnated with honorable ambi-
tion, bc allowed to pass unitnproved. Those
masters ofeioqueiice, Pitt, Fox, Burke,lVind-
bani, and Sheridan, had, indeed, passed away,
and the places which they had filled with such
surprising spleiidor were occupied by talents
of an inferior order; yet the spirit of oratory
survived, and within the walls of St. Stepliens
were to be heard voices which could discourse
sweet music to the ear, and fascinate the soul
with the energy of argument and the excur-
sivencss of itnagination, clrastised by a dis-
creet taste, and arrayed in all that fancy can
conceive of the affluence of language. In
Mr. Clay’s elocution, however, we find noth-
ing itnitative. It is pectiliarly his own, and
partaires largely of the character ofour coun-
try ; it is always hold, and frequently impas-
sioned ; disdaining the rules of art, it is regu-
lated entirely by impulses, and relies for some
of its rriost powerful effects oti its capability of
awakening responsive impulses in the breasts
ofits auditors: in its selection of words and
phrases, it prefers power to ornament, and on
this account, frequently falls (liscottiantly tip-
on the ear ; its imagery is never remote or
ostentatious, nor of too frequent occurrence ;
sotnetirries it creates sympathy by the power
of pathos; sonietiiues, flying frorri preriiises
unsustainable, and illogical conclusions, it ap-
peals to the sterner feeling in lofty tones of
declatnation ; always avoiding the error of
making thoughts subservient to wortls, the
course of his language uniformly obeys the
index ofhis triirid wherever it may point, ran-
ging with libertine carelessness through all
the boundless sphere of expression.
Mr. Clay’s manner is ardent and forcible.
There is no fastidious delicacy in his choice of
phrases ; there is no reservation of thought :
there is no sacrifice ofsense to sou-nd. Hefloats
ottt into his subject with apparent indifference,
not unfrequently, indeed, with a negligence
which produces an unfavorable impression on
his hearers : but, when he approaches his ar-
gutnent, he suddenly springs from this unnat-
ural apathy, summons his whole soul to the
conflict, throws hinrselfinto the tide ofideas,
and surrenders iiinrself tip to an impetus which
he seems to want both ability and disposition
to resist. His style, although far from chaste,
‘ is corfirnotily free frorii arnbigtiity but wants
conciseiress and concentration ; and we are
not convinced that it is always under the gui-
dance Ofa Sound judgment. - I _
The figure ofMr. Clay is favorable for or-
atorical display. Tall and well-proportioned,
his countenance strongly marked, his gestures
unrestrained and unarti'ficial ; his tones of
voice, though few, yet flexible anti musical ;
and added to all those, his manner enthusias-
tic and itnpressive, it cannot be a matter of
surprise that his eloquence has attained for
him so extensive it popularity. Every muscle
ofhis countenance indicates the working of
his riiind; every motion ofhis eye is corre-
sponsive to a movement within ; and every ac-
tion receives its direction from the same le-
gitiinate source. If, therefore, Mr. Clay can-
not be set down as one ofthe most finished,
his powers ofeloqnence entitle him to rank a-
nrong the most impressive orators of the age.
I-‘aotrt THE TRENTON EMPORIUM.
Hr: D1ED.—In these two short but compre-
hensive words, we read the corrstirnmation of
the brief history of Man-——man whose life is
like a vapor; who appears a tiioment and then
vanishes away. Thus terminates the career
ofthe conqurmr! he comes forth in the proud
resources oftiis mind, marslralling his legions
for the sto:“m,and stirring tip as with the breath
ofthe whirlwind, the hot spirit of riesolating
war; convtilsing society ; sapping the founda-
tions of_t:ivil order; shaking the thrones, and
ltingelniiis of the world, and opening the flood
gates ofsorrow oti :iiankind,that he may gather
round him a little t.insel.grandcnr, and associ-
are his name with terror. A little space,and
in the corner ofan obscure print we read-—he
fcrl.—-'.f‘lie tr'o-iblirig waves, his spirit had in-
V0l{t’:(l are still, and men contemplate what he
was,antl is,with a kind of contemptuotis won-
der. The man whose soul is wrapped up in
tinzbitioiz, toils his little hour for fatiie, and he
gziiris, if fortunate, the sum ofhis wislics; we
hear his name -.ourided abroad, and on the
next brearli trenibies the words; he died.——-
Tben '-re who calmly reasons feels the small
worth of titles and applauses that end in this.
The rich, the poor; the grave, the gay; the
imbecile. the wise: the free man and slave;
all crmclnrle the Cl1£1pl(‘1'll11'rS. But it is when
death strikes near us and his arrows reach our
own l1tr.‘~.'01I1S, that we feel the force of these
expressive ozonosyllables. He Died, is writ-
ten against tiic name ofa relative, or a com-
panion ; and then we know that the form, the
face, the very feature with which we have
been familiar is hid away from our mortal vis-
ion forever——that the voice we heard sooften
and so gladly, we shall hear no more——that
the mind which could charm in its develope-
ment of power anti knowledge, is no longer a
tenant of the eartli, and the heart that loved its
will not heat again while one sand remains in
rhehour glass oftimc, or the pillars of the
world remain nnshaken. lVe seem to ap-
prnach nearer to the veil that screens from oitr
view the hidden empire ofdeath—we ask our-
the departed? the involuntary answer is ;——-
wherc we shallslrortly lie. Strange that when
death spreads among us, often into the social
circle, and spares neither at the fireside, nor
at the festive lmard, we should live in so much
seerriirig ftir-getf'trlrress ofhis existence. Well
hath it been s.:tirl——

‘general rig ofthe ship,’ and its particular

which it afterwards proved to be ; thoug|i,on
comparing notes with my father, I found that
ourrelative position at.tlie time, gave our dis-
tance from one another very nearly 30 miles
beyond the horizon, anti some leagues beyond
the limit ofdirect vision. I was so struck by
the - peculiarity of the cirennistairce, that I
mentioned it to the officer ofthe watch,stating
my full conviction that the Fame was then
cruizing in the neighboring inlet.”

ofthese letters, ‘asked the mistress of the re-
ceiving house at Bridge End, who Mr. Mor-
gan was, and why his letters went free?
‘ Bless you sir, I don’t know wiry they go free,
Mr. Morgan is a Methodist Preacher, and I
am stire he has no more right to have his let-
ters free than other folks ; but his son lives in

Mr. Morgan no longer received his letters free
