From the Female Advocate.
7.1:-res To A LADY I'REPARED FOR CHURCH.

Corrie lady. come, that form ofthine

I-lath long employed thy care, _

And on thy brow unmarked by trtne..

Soft parts thy raven hair.

And with asofteued light, the while

Thy brilliant eye doth beam,

"Yet lreauty’s pride hath lit the smile,

- That bright and bland doth seem.

And saddened thoughts crowd u’er mo

W'liile gazing on thee now i ' _

.!-‘rrt thou adorned with humbleness,

Before thy God to bow 'I '

3' know that men will praise thee,

.‘~ltIIlI thou will think it sweet

To hear the tone of flattery,

Or thrilling glance to meet;

And triumph will reign o’er that hour.

Arid thou wilt joy in heauty’s power.

But lady, who would gladly be

Bowing at plea.-:ure’s shrine;

Another place is meet. for thee.

Another lot is thine;

’_3‘o bow, with holy men,

The heart and knee to Heaven.

And fervently entreat of God

Thy sins may be forgiven.

To meet thy Heavenly Father tlrerc,

Lady ! for this thou sliuuldst prepare.

Tliiri passing world will quickly ilct-, -

Its vanities be gone; ,

Brit may tliy ohoicest.treasure be
Safe in another Ironic!

Their lady, while the light ofyoritlr
O‘er thee is shed, .
May the angel wing of sobettruth ,
"X-Vave also o'er thine head 1

:‘l.nd when their dost prepare again
To seek the courts of God,

0, pray that with a lowlier herirt
By thee they nray be trod.

A SCENE IN THE LAST‘ WAR.

* ii‘ "* The war with France being
over, Sir Peter Parker took leave of his
wife at Bordeaux, and we with :1 large con-
vov carrying troops, made sail to rho coast
cl'Airrcrica. We arrived in the Cliesa-
«Jeake at the__ time that the detestable war
confligration was at its height. When
we entered’ the Potorn'ac a large river
wliich empties itsclfinto the Cliesrrpeak,
the fertile shores of this beautiful. abode
presented the sad effects of the war: on
err_c_lr side houses were burning with fear-
ful rapidity, and, when night came on,
they resembled the signal-fires of the In-
di.ins,blazirrg in the horrors of destruction.
Next day our marines accompanied the rest
of the squadron in 1 of these expeditions.
'’{‘-.’-a were commanded by Sir G. Cock-
burn in person ; and with hint as air ama-
tour, was the late gallant General Ross,
who was afterwards killed at B.rltirnore.——
Our dcslinariop was up a river which runs
'r!I. the back of St. Georgi.-’s Island; and
the object was to destroy a factory, which
was,not only the abode ofinnocent labour,
3.:-ut likewise the resort ofsonre few militia-

. men guilty of the unnatural sin of protec-
:ing their own country. \Vc started in the
morning, and having landed about five
miles up the river, proceeded along a
pretty fair road, flanked on each side by
large woods, which led to the frrctory.-
General Ross directed the m0V(:n)l.'nlS of
our sl«'.ir'misliv:rs, and instructed our sea-
gezieral in sc-rne ofthe safeguards of 51 land-
arrny. When we arrived within two hun-
dred yards oftlre town, Sir Peter gave
the word for his division to charge ; and
at :-i full trot we arrived at the lac:ory.——
Our approach had been long known; eve-
rv one brit the women and children

I‘:-.‘r(;l deserted ilie town, and had taken with
them most of the implements of their l.r-
bour ; we therefore must valiantly set fire
to the unprotected property, n0|witl1s'.iind-
ing the tears and the cries of the women;
and, like a parcel of savages as we were,
are danced round the wreck of ruin. It Is
now of no use to dive into the reason why
this savage mode of warl'ar"e was rt-sorted
to; it was generally asserted to be merelv
retaliation in the Souih,for aggressions in
the North: in short, as the Aurericans
burnt right and left in Canada, we did
them the same cornplirncnt in the Chesa-
peake, thereby followinganexamplo which
greater barbarians than ourselves have
sl-iuddered to commit. 3e it as it may,
.-.very house which we could by ingenuity
vote into the residence of a nillitizi-nrain
‘6'.'fl_S burnt ; and, as almost every man in
America did belong to the militia, we had
abundant opp-rtiuriiiies of becoming the
most scientific destroyers of all sorts and
kinds of property. On our return from
the factory, General Ross went on board

‘the Admir:rl’s ship ; whilst Sir G. Cock-
born and Sir P. Parker, with it st.-fficient
force, landed on the shore immediate.-ly be-
hind Sr. Gt-orge’s Islélnfl, and proceeded
to surround a dwelling--lrorrse near (I 3

beach. It was nine o’clock in the evcnin v;
the sun had long set, and the moon rlirow

a clear pale light over the lHntlSCapo__._
The house was surrounded with firctrccs;
and the inliabitants little dreamt, in so cut”,
and beautiful a night, that the destroyer
was at_lrand. All was hushed and quiet,
with the exception ofthc chirping merge,’
and the ripple of the writer as it broke on
the beach. Like midnight mrrrdr-rers we
cautiously approached the house ; ll)t-
door was open, and M8 UlfCL:l'ClI)ril)lUI.l!s‘l\*
intruded ourselves upon three young luv.
dies sittingquieily or tea, occupyirrg them-
selves with their work, and apprrr-enrly ox.
pecling a visit from some persons with
whom they were better at-qrroinir-d. 5;.

Sir George asked for the colonel, their fa-
ther. He was our, &. not expected home.
“ He provided arms for some of the mili-
iia ?” Coll‘-i|ltle(I Sir George. There seem-
ed a slight acquiescence on the part oflhe
ladies, which was followed by these
words——-“ I am sorry to be guilty ofau ap-
parent inciviliryg but your father has main-
ly assisted in arming the militia, and I
must now do my duty. In ten ririnules
time I must set fire to this house thci'eforo
rise that period in removing your most val-
uable effects, for at the expiration of those
ten minutes I shall give orders to burn the
premises.” Any one who knew Sir George
would lr fie known that he never deviated
from his word, and consequently would
have begun to have packed up uith all
despatclr. Not so the young ladies; they
threw tlrcniselves on their luiees, begged,
implored, urged, and prayed the Admiral
to depart and leave thenr to their home
and rlreir fatlier :—-“ Tliey never assisted
in the war. r=xcepti_rig to succour a woun-
ded cnemy”—-“ 'I'hr-y ricvcr‘ urged their
father to arm the militia : they were, in
rfarzt, poor and unprotected females. Five
minulcs had elapsed: in vain they implor-
ed Sir George to fo-.t.-go his intontiorrs.-—
llre youngest, a girl ofrrbour sixteen, and
lovely beyond the general beauty of those
parts, tlrrow liersrlfat Sir Peter Paiker’s
knees, and prayrrd him to interfere. The
fears started fioui her eyes in a moment ;
and I was so bewildered at the affecting
s-:t~ne lllirl IEippC'cl&eLi to see tlirough the
thick mist. Tlrerr-: stood Sir George, his
countenance uncliangod and unclrangeable;
his watch on the table, and his eyes fixed
upon it. One girl had seized upon his
left arm, wliich she pressed with her open
hands; anotlrer stood a kind of Niobe of
tears; while the_tnird and youngest was
on her ltnees before Sir Peter. Ills leci-
ings soon overcome his duty, and he had
begun at S(’.lllt’-‘llt'(-', which the Admiral cut
short; the time was expired, and I was
desired to order the men to bring the fire-
balls. Never shall I forget the despair of
that ll'lOm(.‘:1l.‘ Pour Sir Peter wept like
it child, whilst the girl citing to his kites»
and impeded his r'etrcui; the Admiral
walked out wi;lr his usual hauglrty stride
followed by the two oldest girls, who again
and again vainly implored him to counter-
nnrud the order. Sir Peter was scarcely
clear oftlic ilircslrolrl when the II«.:l))t!S of
the lronse threw :1 light over the before
sombre drii‘ltnes'_=. We retreated from the
scene of rrrrn, leaving the three daugliicrs
gazing at the work of desolation, which
made the innocent liouseless, and the af-
fluent beggars. I will not give an opinion
coricorrrirrg the feelings of Sir George : I
_:.rm sure he felt as a brave man always
fer-ls, when ft-turtle beauty interferes with
his duty.‘ The lost struggle to retain his
cornposurc wlieit he called out “ Begin l”
was itieffcctuzil; he felt as much as others,
but he had more conrnrand over his feel-
ings. I know he is a brave man, cit. there-
fore uni s..ur'e he inlrrrrils that feeling which
is common to that class of men.

By tlu: light r-filrai lrouse we embarked,
and retrrrried on board. It was a scene
tvliiclr irrrprcssed itsolfupon my heart, and
rvhirh my memory and my hand un\.il-
lingly recal and publish.

PEDDLING GRAVE STONES.

lVe were amrrsed, a short while since,
with the relation ofan anecdote suggested
by a communication in our colrrrnns, res-
pecting gravc stone pt,-rllars. Urrdoubl-

r-dly peddling may be an honest branclr of

business, but it is of=en an intrusive one.
There is certainly no class of men more
irrrlr.-farigable and persevering than those
who pursue it; as may be illustrated by
our story.

Mr. is one of the most dri-
ving men ofbrrsinuss on the road—wliicli
he travels generally with an eye on both
sides. No raven ever scented death it or
with it kccrier nostril than our inanof mar-
ble, whose business it was to provide me-
rnenros for the dead. Not many years
since, he heard, late at night, just as he or-
rived at home, of the death of the only
daughter of a wcul;hy and intelligent
Squll'(.', who resided in a town some 17
miles off over the hide. It was a hard
road and our pedlar was tired--but he
novcr slacktd business for rest ; and be
bad rivzils about who might anticipate the
job. So, by midnight, be tackled up and
t-.-‘asoffro rnake a market. He arrived,
about five in the morning, at the house of
Squire , who with his family were
all in dr-r-p sleep, the first he had enjoyed
for many long nights of tvaiclriog and sor-
row. Uur licro, however, blessed his
stars that be was the first visitor; and as
I)lisi1le~S, like “ trtrre and the tide,” never
waits, he tlrundr.-rod rnanfully at the knock-
er, until the Squire nrurle his appearance,
grasping his nether iotegiinrerrts with one

 

band. A single glurrco explained to him
what was W'dntL‘(l. Our hero irnmediaiely
began,

“ I hear, Squire -——----, you have been
so lmf«ii'lttntilc....”

“ Walk in, Mr. , walk in.”

“ Tlrrrrrlt you, sir, -bank you. Ijns-
lrcercd you had been so unfortrrrrate-—”

“ I5il down, sir, sit down, Mr. .
' “ Igam very sorry to hear ofyour afflic-
tion, Squire ——-—--——. You buried your
uuughter yesterday, I trrrdersiund. Ah-lr-
lr-slru was an exrcllerir girl, Squire —.

And the pedlnr was fairly on his tons with
exulrarions. “ But Squire ,” said
he, sobering a little, “ what inscriptions
shall I cut on ‘em I”

“ Inscriptions," said the Squire, paus-

ing ; “ I don’: know—-can’: you do that ?”
' “ Oh yes I do it very well i.
“Here lies a precious family,
All kill’d by Mr. Death-
I cut these Marble Monutnents,
Aud-and-
Icon easily finish it when I gets llunle-—
Won't you give me the names and the
dates, Squire -- P”

“ Why, I don't know how I can exact-
ly—-—ihore’s a little difliculiy in llre way.-
But Idou’t l;now btit Ican too. I be-
lieve, on the whole, I can, if you’ll help
me, and I guess you will.”

“ Oh yes, Squire
tlring to oblige.” .

“ Yes, I tlroughtyou would—for a job,
Mr. ” ,

“ Sartinly I will; but what is it,Squire-?”

“ lVby, as seven of the persons are liv-
ing, I don’i'see how we can get the dates
of their deaths, unless——unless you a-a-kill
them I”

“ Kill them, Squire I”

“ Yes, the lrarpy that could break the
first rest ofa father, who buried his child
but yesterday, would kill the lrving—for
a job.” 7'

Tlre spirits of the pedlar fell and he in-
stantly carved off.

We generally charge them, five dollars,
Clem.

Well, ya marry us like white folks, and
I give ya five dollars, too.

Why, Clem, that’s a curious notion, but
as you desire it, I’ll marry you like white
folks, for five dollars. .

_ And so Clem got married for nothing.

The apologize of the Lion and the Fox
is full of the practical wisdom so im_oor-
tant at this day. “ \Vise men say nothing
in dangerous times. The lion called the
sheep, to ask her if his breath smelt offen-
sively ? she said aye. He bit offlrer head
for a fool. He called the wolfand asked
him. He said No. He tore hirri in pie-
ces for a flutrerer. At last he called the
fox and asked 'nini. Truly he had got a
cold and could not snrell."’-—1IIont/zl_r/ Mag.

 

A candidate for the oflice of schoolmas-
ter in IIampshir'e'Co. being told by re
committee il..rt they should examine him
in English grammar, said “-I am f

ing asked to bound the United States, he
said, “tlrey are bounded east by the ocean,
and south by Florida, and wes’: by the v.rl-
ley of Mississippi.” \‘/lien told that the
valley was a part of the United States, he
said, “ I don’t know, there is a dar;r’rl
great c/zunk of it off there.”

Surprising.-—--VVonderfrrl, as Dominie
S."tI'lI[vS0n, would say. A privrrte letter re-
ceived the other day from l’aris—-—anrroun-
cos the marriage of Miss Frances Wright,
to a Monsieur P. formerly oftlris city—.ind
adds “Mrs. P. and the clirld are both well.”
We presume the lady still gives lectures
——bui inculcates a different species of phi-
losoplry. Look at it, however, in every
point of view, it is beyond a doubt one of
the most astonishing natural or philosoph-
ical BVCIIES which has taken place during
.lre present century. Oh! Love! love-—
rniseroble etlrerial passion I What strange
effects thou givost rise to! Philosopliy-—
the very genius of reason-—-the goddess
lrorse'f has been subdued——mcltr:d and
bound in the silken chains. For some
years past the progriess o_fphrlosophy in the
two worlds has been as rapid as Eclipse
over the Long Island course-or as the
steam boat North America in a sunny day
ol'June under a full pressure of steam-—or
at rail road car between Alb-‘my and»Sohe-
nectady l-—-Sell'-Poised—-st,-lf-sustained di-
vine philosoph_v was elevating her aspect-—
putting out ignorance as you would a la-
per with a tin exringuislrer, until this on-
toward event took place, which casts us all
again into the age of darkness and bar bar-
ism. As CIBSIII‘ said, folding his Rorigrn
toga around him in the capital, so \ve’c~.ji_y
say to Miss Wriglit,—-Ept to Brute.”

Wlren John Randolph was appointed
Minister to Russia, having a commission to
go any where else that be pleased, his
pierfrds boasteld that he wqjuld make good‘
its rt rrerrt onstrngs, an scam to bet
at ilieiiublic crib, &c. Well: In staid
ten days in Russ-ia——frolicl\ed a year in
ISngl.rrid,aritl-carno home. His first act
after his arrival, was to draw from the
Treasury every cent that the law would
allow him to take-—out-fit $9000, salarv
$9000, in-fit $4500-—-rnaking in all $22,)-
500 for ten days’ service. We mentioned
the fact oflris lraving drawn the money in
January; but we have not seen any atl-
rnission upon the subject inthe Richmond
Enqtiirer. A confession of the fact, how-
ever, has been wrung from Mr. Archer, of
Virginia, Chairman of the Committee of
Foreign Relations; and be accompanied
it with n rernark so disgracious to IItr.'
Rnazrrrlre, that he will never be forgiven.‘

,which credit

From the i‘\'Crc- York Journal of Commrrce.

“lmprisoirinerrt /or Dcbt.—-If’ ilierf-‘
were no laws for the collection of debts,
then whenever an iritiividrral asked for cred-
it, the only pledge he could make would
be his reputed ‘capital and character. If
laws exist providing for attachment or oth-
nr compulsory process upon property, he
is thereby enabled to pledge this power of
compulsion which he deposits in ilre hands
of the-creditor. If the law provides for
the imprisonment of -be dt-b.or’s body, he
is then enabled to mortgage his person,:rnd
on this to raise riioriey. If the law should
go farther and not only provide that his
body rnight be imprisoned, but that ho
nriglrt be sold as a a slave, and if this ex-
tended to his wife and children, then his
pledge would be increased, and he might
be able to raise considerable sums, though
posse~sed of neither capital nor m0iIilCl1tlI'-
acter on which he could raise a penny.-—
Such a view of the matter shows the error
oftlie common notion ilial laws‘ compelling
payrnerrt even to irnprisonnrent or sale of
the person, are laws in favor of the credit-'
or. They are, on the contrary, altogeth-
er in favor ofthe debtor classes, enabling

" rilrom to enlarge their credits; while cred-

itors, from a disposition to over-value this
firlse kind of security, are constant losers
by its existence. The cir'cirrnsiarices on
would rest were there no
laws on the subject, are tho proper, and
only proper clenients of credit. If men
are able '.ll)dt-.‘l‘ our laws tohiiorrgage their
persorrs, it is a power they ought not to
possess, and of which they ought to be de-
privod."

The Detroit Journal states, on the au-
thority ofanotlier paper (the Courier,) that
the young man appointed by Gen. Jackson
Secretary of Michigan Tcrritorv, and who
in the absence of the newly appointed Gov.
fills that place also, had inflicted corporel
chastisenrent rrpon the editor of the Emi-
grant, for publishing an article rrfluctirrg
upon his appointment to ilie office of Sec-
retary. What the publication contained
which gave rise to the acting Goverrror’s
resentment, is not explicitly stated. But
as it is one part of the duty of a territorial
cliiefrnagistraie to see the laws executed
and the peace preserved, it would have
been more becoming the oflice which he
thus temporarily occupies, to have adopted
a more dignified mode of manifesting his
resentment, than that which he pursued.
