“ It came like ti. despot king,

And the air with a splrit's wing."-Miss Landon.
Ye have had your time—if time there be,
For the love of the world and levity ;
And now-—-I come !
With .1 solemn voice to bid thee turn
Thy thought to the grave, the home of the worm.
Ye have heard the tale of my awful sway,‘
VVliile I liiigered—-I lingered from thee away ;
But iiow—I come ! - '
To ‘a land—how richly blest of heaven-
To it people-how many to error given 1
To the guilty ones, who have made my path,
By forgetting God, attack of wrath;
To tltose—-l come, _

With a fearful pang"-with ti déepedilig sting.
But go who rely on one strong arm,
I would not, 1 could not, do you harm :
To you—I come.
Not as the herald of bitter things,
But to change thy clay, for Angel’s wings.
A poison for beauty is on my breath:
My work is short-but t’is only death,
And though I come,
Oh ! fear not me—I am but a rod,
In the hand of a mighty-a gracious God.
When afflictions are few,_ ye are prone to stray
From the healthful fountain-far away-

I THE HONEST JRIAN. .
Uncle Josey had the reputation of a ve-
ry honest man ; and so highly was he la-
rned for this rare virtue, that, “ honest'as
Uncle Josey,” became a proveib. If Un-
cle Josey could be once brought to a stick-
ing point in a bargain, and agreed to pay
a certain sum at a certain time, there was
no danger of a failure on his part. Sun-
shine or cloudy, rain, hall, or snow, hot or
cold, made no difference with liini,tlie old
grey mare was saddled and biidled, and
punctual to the very moment, her honest
master‘ was sure to be at the designated
spot, cash in hand, tofulfil his eiigagenient.
But, in return, he always expected a com-
pliment to his punctuality,and if it did not
come voluntarily, would always “fish for
it,” as the saying is, by intiniating, espe-
cially iftite weirlier or travelling were un-
favorable. “I didn’t know that you would
raally expect me, but I always make it a
pint to fulfil my promises.”
Uncle Joscy, like most other men liked
to turn a good‘ article to good account;
and his reputed honesty fountl a fine mar-
ket, and was sold to a great profit. His
celebrity became so great that no one
thouglitofquestioniug him in aught he said-
if he had a sheep for sale, it would com-
mand three dollais in market, though his
neighbor-,for one apparently as valuable,
would find it diflicult to obtain uiore than
two. Bttt Uncle Josey said his sheep was
richly worth a dollar uiore than his neigh-
bor’.-‘, and though it was impossible for the
purchaser to say why or wlierefore, yet
Uncle Josey was an liotiest man, he would
not lie, and the purchaser was satisfied.-
It was so with eveiy other commodity the
honest old soul had to sell. It -was worth
abouttwenty-five per cent. mote than any-
body’s else, though he might have pur-
chased it ofa neighbor not half an bout
before at a reduced piice, as an article of
inferior quality. Yet a great improve-
ment took place in passing it tliiough
his hands, and he would generally tax the
buyer pretty roundly for his lioncsty._—
Thus Uncle Josey made his honesty serve
much the same purpose as a new coat of
sails on an old vessel. It helped to set off
whatever he had to dispose of,to good ad-
vantage, to hide its defects, obtain a high
price, and finally to make ltini a rich man.
Uncle Josey would not have cheated a
person out ofa ninepence oti any account.
He was a man eftoo much principle for
this. “No, no,” says he, “I never cluzafs
nobody-—I always dojcst as I agrees to.”
This was in fact true-—tlie old gcntlernan
always fulfilled his agreements; but then
he was always careful not to agree, unless
he got the best of the bargain, and that he
was certain, to do because he was an hon-
est man.
Uncle Josey was a farmer, and always
kept corn for sale. But he always sold it
at one dollara bushel, when every body
else sold it for eighty-seven and it halfcts.'
The reason of this difference was, as he
said, the half bushel measures of other
people were a pitit short of the legal stan-
dard, and his was “plump up to it ;” there-
fore, whoever botight a bushel of corn of
him, got a quart more than though they
had bought ofany one else. Uncle Josey,
was an honest man, and therefore every
body was willing to pay him twelve and a
halfcents for the quart of corn to make
up a "plump bushel,” although its real
value was six and a quarter cents only,
and they obtained no more than lawlul
measure after all. Thus Uncle Josey
demanded and received a premium of 12
and a halfper cent. on his honesty.
In time of harvest he always refused to
sell potatoes, under the plea that his crop
was short, and he was apprehensive he
should have no more than would be no-
cessaryfor his own use. But the kind
hearted old soul would be certain to have
about an hundred bushels on hand for the
accommodation of his neighbors, when ev-
ery one else had entirely sold out. " There
was always however this itnnortant condi-
tion attacliod to the sale—“I have a few
I can spam to oblige you, but they are of
the very best sort, and I must have thirty
'- a bushel.” It was of no use to de-
I
mut~-the answer was always ready——-‘.‘
don’t care about selling any;” and 83
Uncle Josey was ati honest man, and nev-
er failed to tell tiie truth, and besides gave.
lawful measure, tlit.-to was little or no lies-
itation in paying him ten cents‘?-xtia on a
bushel of potatoes worth twenty ; or in
other words, a premium of fifty per cent.
on his honesty.
My hottest old Uncle geiierally liad a
supply of the needful on hand, to enable
him byway of neighborly kindness, to 0-
blige a friend iti distress. To use his own
language, he “didu’t make it practice of
hiring out money ;” though no man ever
applied to him for a loan witliottt obtain-
ing one, “provided moreover, and never-
theless,” certain prcliniiuarics were set-
tled and adjusted bef-oreliand. Imprirnis
-—Sufiicient security for paynient. Item
—Aii itijuncioti of scciccy on the bar-
rower. “Now" says Uncle Josey, “I don’t
make a practice of hiring out money, but
I have about tliu sum by me tliatyou want,
and asI am always willing to do a kind-
ness, I trill let you have it. But, I shall
want good security for it, and as I let yoti
have the mcneyjrsi‘ to oblige you, I shall
t,-xpr.-ct you to pay me yearly, twelve per
cent. interest. I know this is called un-
lawful; and, as an honest man, I don’i
like to break the laws. But as I dou’t
uiakoa practice of hiring out tnont-y, and
can’: afford to oblige you on any otliet
C0n(.lIll’JII.°, I don’t know as I shall be do-
ing tvrong, and you cti-,3:-do as you’ve a
mine to about taking it, so it’s all fair.-—
Btit you iiius’iit say nothing about i'.”—-
Tlio borrower must have the money and
Uncle Josey knew it ; and so the bargain
was soon sirtick. The old rat would take
a note for.$t0O, give Mr. Pt-tinyless $94,
and thus obtain souietliing mote than 12
per cezit. conipozmrl interest for his lllOll(’_Y.
And all this because Uncle Josey was an
honest titan, and sold his coin at nine-
pence, and potatoes at ten cents per bush-
el more than any body else.
In this way, though he “didn’t make a
practice of hiring out inuney," and enjoin-
ing sccrecy on every borrowc-r, lest he
should be troubled by others, who tniglit
solicit a like kindness, did my Uncle Josey..-
“ol2llgc"’ most of his tieiglibois. And af-
ter his death people rolled up their eyes
and gaped tvi.h astonishment, when thoy
learned the ntimlier and amount of notes
he had left licliind him; and true to their
uinier opinions, they etilogized his name
for the lnnutnt'!'liI)l6 lrindncsscs he had
done, as his notes tostified, and to this day
use the prove-ib and teach it to their chil-
dren, “as honest as Uncle Josey.”

“ Wliat’st.licm are things growing out of
your upper lip, Mi:-ter ?” asked it Yankee ol
a coxcoinb whom he met the other (lay.
"‘ Sar ?” exclaimed the dandy, fiercely rais-
ing his rattan, aiid bristling up to the interro-
gator—“ what business is that to you, -or ?”
“ Ch‘, no business of any couseqtietice, to
spunk on,” replied the Yankoc——‘- I just. ark:-‘d
for information, not being much acquainted
with them are things.”
“ \.Vell, sar,” returned the gallant, arigrily,
“ what ifyoti are not acquainted with them ;
must 9. fellow ofyour cloth have the impu-
deiice to question it gentleman of mine 9”
" Is that raaly your clot.|i, Mister, or is it
the tailor’s ?” asked the cour.tr_viiia1i.
“ The tailor’s I” fiercely: exclaimed he of
the clicckcd tii;nietitiunablcs—“ what do you
mean by that? I30 you intend to lllSl[ll.l.tI.€‘
that I— Sdoatli ! sar, I'll not-—
“ Well, I thought as mUCl‘," returned the
Yankee, carelessly sticking his hands into his
breaches pocket, and stanutirig st:li'bcforc the
daiitly—I thought you never intended to pay
for tlic-irt.”
“ Vlliat is that to you whetlicrl pay for
them or not? IIav'nt. I a tight to manage-as
I please with my own tailor—to pay him or
let it aloitc ”’
“ Why. Mister, that depends very much on
what sort of a bargain you make. If your
tailor agrees to let you cheat him, why, that’s
his look out, not mine. But yott liav’i.t told
me yet what you call them are things on your
upper lip.”
" Sar, you are art iniperlinont puppy."
“ So I heard you say. Now father has got
a tarryer dog-—bat he dou’t tarry much, I can
tell yc—lie’ll kill three rats in two st-'cuu«ls——
but, as I was saying, father has got a tarryct
dog, tliat’s darned rough and hairy about the
"mouth-but be aint t1 circumstance to you.-
He’d cling his tail between his legs if he was
to see you, and cry 'I‘i-i! ti-’! and run to
the eeud of the world without ever stopping.
My gracious! how you look with them are
things!"
“ Look 1 why, sar, they are all the go now.
There is no finished gentleman now but what.
wears motistache.-3.”
“ Musty-cliers, do you call ’ctn E’ VVel', by

look very much like the latter end of our dog's
tail, when he bi IISIICS it on the II’)OI‘. Faugli!

“VVha'; with that are switch, Mister? _l
should’nt mind it no more than I should an
oat straw.”
“Well, stir, touch my inoustaclics, and see
ifyou don't get it.”
‘ TCUCII your .ninstychcr~‘.! VVl:y I'd as

what should induce any liutnan critter, to
wear sitcli darned nasty looking tliings as
them." _
“Nasty looking ? do you call ’em ? Why.
sar, they are all the admiration of the ladies.”
“Ladies ! ha, ha, ha! Ladies! They iiitist
have a queer notion any how. But there are
some women who are unaccountable fond of
puppies and sitch like animals; and [we seen
’em fondle and kiss ’em, as ifthey were hu-
man crttturs : I don't see how any woman
could ever let her lips come within gun-sliot
ofyourti. Adriiiration ofthe Ladies 1”
“Do you question wlzat I say, sur 2”
“Why, Mister, I don't know what kind of
ladies you have in the city here. But one
thing I can tell you-— our country gals tvuuld'nt
no more let you touch ’em than they would it
toad -—lhey’re very particular what comes in
contact with their lips. But, Mister, how in
the name of hair and brussels do you eat .--
How do you go to work to get the vittlos in-
to your mouth, with them are things hanging
over it, like a badge-fence over the side-or a
ditch. Do you eat meat and such like? or
do you live upon spoon-vittles 3" _
“It’s none of your business, stir, what I live
on. I board at seven dollars a week; “(I1
eat wliatl please, sar,aud drink what I please.”
“Seven dollars a week ! my gracious ! we
git boa rd and washing. and all, in the coun-
try, for a dollar and a half, but I ’spose they
charge you five dollars and a half extra for
tlietn are mustycliers. Faugh! I would’ut
have ’em at the table for ten dollars.”
“What a Kangaroo I am to stand here talk-
ing with a fellow ofyour cloth——I’tn a Student.”
Thus saying, the man with the moustaches
flourished his dandy switch, wheeled about,
and walked on. He had gone but a few steps,
when the Yankee bawled after liiin—
“ltlulloa ! Mister—Tlicm are black streaks
what runs up and down your trowscs legs,
looks rather suspicious——haint you broke out
of the States Prison ? But you need’iit be a
think ’tis the night-mare. I say, Mis_tt._~i',don’t
you want a curry comb ? I've got some real
line ones, with teeth on botlt sides. They're
bang‘-up, I can tell you.”
“Curse your curry-combs, and you too.”
“ D.in’t swear, Mister-nor go off in a pris-
.-ion. Imeant no offence in what I've said.
But I must declare you’re the darri’dc-it ugly
looking than in the face, I ever see in all my

KIDNAPPING.
E2,-tract qf a letter from a colored gcnllcm-rm
in Pouglilceepsie, N. Y.
' There has been a case of kidnapping in
our village. In the early part of this spring‘,
a man, by the nameof Isaac Butler, took some
horses to Virginia to sell, and also a colored
boy, who lived with his father, to ride the hoi-
ses. Mr. Butler returned, and said the boy
had run (way. Mr. B.'s father oll'ere-.l ten
dollars to any one who would~brt'ng hitn back.
This it is supposed; was to make it appear that
his son had not sold him. No tnore was said
about it for sotne time ; btit a letter was sent.
to the post master and anotlirr one to Judgé
Emmet. It appears the boy had been solzl,
and left with a gentleman until Mr. Butler
came out of the . state; their another man
came and claimed him as his property. The
boy declared he was free. The man who
clztiined the boy undertook to make the boy
go with him : it is said he was going to take
the boy farther south to sell him. The boy
ran away, and was taken up and tried before
a justice who was acquainted with Judge
Euiinet. The boy mcnéioned some of the
principal gentlemen living in our ‘village.-—
’l‘ho boy was tlien taken and put in prison:
and those letters mentioned above were writ-
ten to Poughkeepsic. Mr. Emmet‘. wrote back
that the boy was free. The village called a
meeting and appointed a committee, who" em-
ployed an attorney and sent him on. Mrl B.
started four and twenty hours’ before, to get
the boy; probably to carry him further south,
but could not get him. The letter from Judge
Emmet had got there before Mr. B. Mr- E-
had written not to let any one have the boy
without papers showing he was free. Theat-
torney, after having a law suit, got the boy
and brought him brick. Mr. B. returned with
the attorney and boy, still declaring he had
not sold the boy. The committee called a
meeting to receive the boy.-at which meet-
ing the attorney presented it. bill of sale from
the Inn?! in Virginia. Mr. B. was taken, and

It is true, that should a poison- '

aiidtold him he would return and take him
back to New-York. It has cost. the village
about two hundred dollars.’
TitnANNii.—It is remarkable how close the
resemblance is between the acts of George
III. and Andrew I. as the former are record-
ed in the declaration of Independence by our
patriotic ancestor-s. It. is only necessary to
subst.itu'..e the word PRESIDENT for KING and
the coincidence is striking, as will be seen
from the following extracts: ' .
“He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
“He has forbidden (the Ivgtslature) to pass
laws ofimtnediate and pressing importance
unless suspended in their opperation till his
assent sliotild be obtained ; and when so sus-
pended he has utterly neglected to attend
to them."
“He has refused to pass other laws for the
accommodation oflargo districts of people,”
&.c.
"He has made Judges dependent on his will
alone for the tenure of their offices and the a-
tnount. and payment oftlieir salaries.”
“I'I0llI1.~I erected a mul‘itude ofnew offices
and sent. hither swarms of oflicers to liarrass
our people and eat out their substance.”
“He has afI'o_cted to reiider the military in-
dependent ofand superior to the civil power.”
Three hundred laws were passd during the
late session of Congress—a large majority of
them for the relief ofindividuals.

AT THE OLD WELL.
THE subscriber basjust opened, at the a-
' bove place a cotnplete assortment of Dry
Goods, Groceries,Flours, VVines,Teas,Crock-
ery, Hardware,Drugs,Me,dicines,Hats, Slices,
Paints, Oils, Brushes, Glass, ready made
Clothing, VVooden and Tin VVarc, &.c. &c.,
all of which he offers for sale on the most rea-
sonable terms. His stock of goods is entire-
ly fresh. and consists of the latest importa-
tioiis and most. approved and fashionable pat-
terns.
Experience has long since convinced him,
that a business conducted wholly on the cash
principle may prove mutually advantageous
both to the seller and the purchaser-,—as by
confining sales entirely for ‘cash, the seller a-
voids all risk, and insures a speedy return of
capital, and is thus enabled to supply his cus-
tomers at a much. smaller advance than if he
were to sell on credit. The subscriber has
therefore concluded to pursue this course ;
and he trusts the public after examining bis
goods and prices, will approve ofthe measure.
Having been for years engaged in the same
RIDGEFIELD FOUNDRY.
