JOSEPH[NE’S LAD! ENT.

BY MRS. I-.'l‘ilBUl{Y.

The fearful strife offeeling now is o'er,

The bitter pang can rend my heart no more‘;
A martyr spirit now within me burns,

And love that spurns

All thought ofself, is waking, till its power
Can conquer c'en the anguish of this hour.

Yes ! for thy sake I can resign e’en thee,

My noble husband! tlioitgli there yet may be
Enough ofwoman's weakness in my heart,
To bid tears start.

Yet not one murmur of reproach shall swell,
Amid the accents of my last farewell.

I loved thee in thy loivlincss—erc fame

Had shed her halo round Napoleon's name:

In the veiled liglitnings of that falcon eye,

I reaclthc Iiigli,

Ami godlike aspirations ofa mind,

VVhose loftiest aim was power to bless mankind.

And when thy name thro’ all the earth was known,
\Vheti rnonarchsquaked before thy tripplc crown,
\Vhcn queens beheld me, in mine hour of pride,
Thy glorious bride ;

No selfish vanity my heart could swoll—-

I shared a throne but would have shared a cell.

Like thine, my soul was formed for glorious fate;
I loved the as the eagle loved its mate;

Nor did I seek with borrowed strcngtli to climb
The height sublime,

Where thou hast built thine eyry : ’twas for me
Enough that thou werttliere—-I followed thee.

In thy toils too have I borne a part; [heath
In scenes where might have quelled man's sterner
When dark rebellion reared his hydra crest,

My hand caressed,

And soothed the dreaded monster till he smiled,
And bowed him down submissive as a child.

Though all untaught the Warrior's band to vs-ield,
Yet went my spirit with thee to the field,
Where charging squadrons met in fierce array,
Nor "mid the fray,

Awoke one terror for a liusband’.-i life-

Such fear were idle in Napoleoii’s wife.

Alas! how has my pride become my shame I
I saw thee mount the tugged steep offame,
Andjoyed to think how soon thy mighty soul
Would reach its goal ;

Nor dreamed, ambitious though thou art,
That thy last step would be upon my heart.

No sacrifice ! no second ofthy race

Shall wield the world's dread scepture in thy place;
Rude nature might Iiavc taught how false must be
Such hope to tlu.-i-;

For Iof-y minds but with like minds should wed-
Not in the dove’s soft nest are eagles bred.-

Ours was the soul’.-s high union ; and the pain
That wears my spirit down, breaks not the chain.
No earthly hand such fctters could entwioe:

And I atii thine,

As fotidly, proudly thine, in exile now,

As when the diadem begin my brow.

IWTSCELL.-ANY.

THE BROTHERS’ QUARREL.
Oftlic divided affections too often observ-
ablo among brothers, :1 most remarkable
instance happened a few years ago in the
family of a gentleman of the north of Scot-
land. George mid William Stirling were
the only sons of the gentleman alluded to,
and they had grown to manhood in the ox-
ercise ofth-at mutual kindness which it is
so delightful to observe in relations in that de-
gree of consanguinity. I am not aware
that there wasanv thing remarkable in tlioir
characters: they were simply two respecta-
ble young men, of good education; and
while the elder was reared to the enjoy-
ment of a competent fortune, the younger
soon attained such a degree of distinction at
the bar, as rendered his fate little less envi-
abIc.—On the death of their mother which
took place when they were between twenty
and thirty years of age, some dispute arose
respecting a legacy, the destination ofwliicli
had not been expressed in terms sufficient-
ly clear, and wliicb, aftera brief suit at law
was determined in favor of thoclder brother.
At first it was resolved by the two brothers
that this plea should be amicably conducted
merely for the purpose of deciding an un-
certain matter; but some circumstances un-
expcctedly occurred, which acting upon the
inflammable nature of the elder, and not be-
ing met with a proper spirit by the younger
brother, speedily produced a decided alien-
ation between tlicni. Each retired sullenly
into the fortress of his own pride ; nor were
their father’s cntreaties and good offices, or
their common recollection of twenty affec-
tionate and happy years, of the least avail
in bringing them once more together. They
did not again meet for ten years: it was at
their father's funeral. The old gentlman
had died in the presence of his eldest son
only, reiterating with his latest breath those
injunctions so often before employed in vain,
that his two sons might be restored to broth-
erly friendship, an object he said, which en-
grossed his thoughte so much in life, that
he felt as if he could not rest at peace in his
grave unless it were accomplished. The
two brothers met, without taking the least
notice of each other, when respectively
mounting their carriages, in order to follow
the corpse of their father to the family bu-
rying-ground in Aberdeen. Their hearts
were still filled with fierce and indignant feel-
ings towards each other, though it is not
improbable that the elder had been some-
what touched, almost imperceptibly to liim-
self, by the dying cntreaties of his father.
The procession, consisting of a hearse and
the carriages of the two brothers, set out on
its long and dreary journey, which was ren-
dered additionally melancholy by the gloom
of a December day. It was originally de-
signed that there should be no stoppage, ex-
cept to exchange horses, till they reached
their destination : but this arrangement was
destined to be strangely disconcerted. A
fall of snow which had begun only that mor-
ning in the low country, was found, when
they reached the hilly region, to have been
of two days continuance ; and it was with
the greatest difficulty that they reached a
lonely inn, about halfway towards the cap-
ital, beyond which it was declared by the
postillions, there was no possibility of pro-
ceediiig that day. This humble place of

eiitertainmant was accustomed to lodge
only such guests as carriers, and as it was
partly Occupied on the present occasion by
various wayfurers, the host with all anxiety

to acqomuiodute Stl_Qll tlistinguislied guests

 

could not by any means offer them but two
rooms. It was expected that, while one
of these was devoted, as decency required,
to the reception of the corpse, the other
would serve for the two mourners, and lie
accordiiigly proposed to make tip an addi-
tional bed in the room which he liiul mark-
ed as that which should receive his living
guests. VVliat was the astonishment of all
the inmates of the house, when they were iii-
formed by a servant that one of the gorilla-
men wotild sleep in one oftlic rooms, while
the other had no objection to that in which
he had placed the corpse! It was not liow-
ever, for him to make any resistance to such
an arrangement, and he accordingly caused
the rooms to be prepared as befitted the taste
of his guests.

It must communicate a strange feeling to
know that two brothcrs—-men of cultivated
understandings. and each respected in his
sphere for public and private \vortIi——actu-
ally carried this dreadful arraiigement into
effect, in order to avoid what they must
have contemplated as a more painful thing
—tlie spending ofa single night in each
otlier’s company. It was the youiiger who
proposed, as a solution of the dileintiia in
which he fotiiid they were placed, to take
up his quarters in the same cIiaiiil'ier with
the corpse; unpardonable as the elder was
for his share of the dissension, it was-but
justice to him to state that he could not,
after the dying request of his father, have
encountered the sensations which might be
expected to arise in so dreadful ti situation.
During the evening, as the storm prevented
them from going out of doors, each kept
his own room, and was severally served with
the refreshment which he rcqu ired. Night
came, and each went to rest. lllorning re-
turned, and still the storm was unabated.
It was tlicreforeiiecessary to spend another
day in the same exti'aordinai'y cireuiiistaiiees,
Slowly, slowly waned the hours of the
twilight day; and still the snow coiitinued
to fall in its broad and lazy flakes, secmiiig
to the two brothers, as each surveyed it list-
lessly from his window, the very pcrsoni-1
ficatioii of monotony. As the rooms wercl
close-to each other, mid only divided by a
thin partition, through which there was 11
door of communication, each of the unhap-
py gentlemen could overhear every thing
that his neighbor did, almost to his very
broathitig. It at length became the amuse-
ment of each,unknown to his fellow,to watch
the proceedings of the other—to note every
foot-fall to register every sigh. Ge orge,iii
particular, bccaitio interested, in spite of
himself,iii the situation of his brother, which
in consideration of what he had heard from
the lips ofliis dying father, bore to him an
aspect more repulsive and painful than per-
haps to the actual sufferer. At length,
when after t\ weary day, the time of rest
again drew nigh, and the house became
more than usually still, he heard a groan
——a groan partly suppressed, but still hear-
ing distinctly tho impress of unutterable
angtiisIi—proceed from his brotIier’s room.
He listened more intently, and in a few
minutes he could make out that the living
tenant of the death chamber was prostratcd
beside the eoffin, Weeping-—bitterly weep-
ing—but still making every effort to bury
the expression of his grief in his own bo-
som. It may be easily imagined that such
sounds, coming upon a heart which had
been insensibly undergoing a softening pro-
cess during the whole day, must have had
the beast efl'ect.—-Still the rancor of ten
years was not to be got over by tears shed
under such circumstances. He softly stole
however, to the door, and watched with the
intense anxiety every respiration and move-
merit of his afilictcd brother. After waiting
a few minutes, be distinctly heard \Villiam
breathe forth the words, “Oh, mother !”
and that in a tone that referred so pointed-
ly to the source of their unhappy quarrel,
that he could not entertain a doubt as to the
nature of his brother ’s present reflections.
A thousand tender associations were awak-
ened by that endeared word ; be reverted to
the early days when they had no contention
but for her affections, no rivalry but for the
bounty which she was always ready to be-
stow upon each alike. Human nature
could hold no longer, and he gently tapped
at the door which had hitherto kept them
apart, "William,” said he "may I come
in 'l” The voice of alfectioii could not be
mistaken-—William opened the door in an
instant, and, as ifhe had guessed intuitive-
ly the disposition of his brother, rushed into
his arms.

The next day saw the two brothers ami-
cably proceeding in one vehicle to the fami-
ly burying place, where in the grave of their
father, they iiiliumed every bitter feeling
they had ever entertained against each
other; and at present, taught by the suffer-
ings which they endured in their period of
alienation, tlieiris no pair of friends who
take such pains to cherish each other's of-
fections, or to avoid all means of eoverting
them into gall.-— Chambers’ Jour.

EXPLOIT IN SWIMMING.

Some years ago the Castle Huntly was
carcering along with every sail set, and
profiting by the influence of a stiff breeze,
when a sailor who was at work among the
lower slirowds missed his footing, fell over-
board, and “went down like a shot.” In
an instant his brethren stood on the alert
and as one means of safety scattered lien-
coops and spars on the waves until the ves-
sel could be brought round, or hove to.—-
As this operation required some little time
the unfortunate man got to the windward
and at last by great exertion seized hold of
the rudder, aml in this way kept his head
above water. His messmates, in the ineaii-
time, were busy searching for him at the
side oftlie ship from which he fell ; no one
thought oflooking to the windward; mid
as it was impossible to hear his cries amidst
the roar of waters and the whistling of- the

breeze, they gave liim up for lost, and pro-

tlius abaiidoiied, the half exliausted tai
clambered up the rudder so far, opened and
crept in by the port Iiole, and cnsconserl
hiniselfin the gun-rooni. Often and loudly
he knocked at the door, and in fact m:l(l(~'
all the noise he could ; but as the gill]-l'0Oll‘l
like the cock-pit of a man-of-war, is placed
under water, no attention was paid to his
signals of ilistress. Herc tliei‘efore_ he re-
maiiied a day and a half, solacing him-
self with such cheer as he could lay his
hands on—biscuit water and perhaps a drop
ofrum. About this time the winds, previ-
ously so noisy, fell fast aslccp—a (lead calm
enslltfd-nndtlie Castle I:Iuntl_v, in place
ofbreastiiig the billows like tflic ‘albatross
itself, “lay like fl log," or zit best “drng'ge(l
her slow leiigtli along. This was an oppor-
tunity-too favorable to be missed ; and ac-
cordingly the tar crept cautiou=l_v out of his
prison house, decended the rudder, entered
the water, and went swimmiiig alongside,
pulling and blowing, and exelaiining as
well as his affected brcatlilessness would
let him—-“Ship alioy, ship alioy !” The
same oflicer Iiappciied to be on watch
who was so stationed when the man
fell overboard, and, although he could bard-
ly credit the evidence of his senses, he at
once shouted, “mei'ey on us I that’s surely
Jack Thonipson himself.” ,“ Aye, to be
sure; a pretty set of lubbers you are, to
leave a poor fellow in the lurch ; I’m three
parts murdered already, starving of Iuinger
and tired to death; and had it not been for
this calm, I never could have made tip
to you.” The whole ermv were thrown
into commotion, and looked at one anotlier
the very pictures of incredulity not know-
ing well what to niake of an escape, alike
inirictilotis and plausible, and which at all
events, they could a."count for on no other
principle than the one propouned by the
man himself. Asa matter of course Jack
was alertly pulled on boai'd,and though many
questions were put, lie lniinored the joke,-
and kept his secret so well that no one
suspected Iiim. In due course the ship ar-
rived at liladrass, and the Captain duriiig
his stay liappened to tllllc with some friends
oiio of tvlioin boasted greatly of the swim-
ming powers of a member of his crew a
man ofcolor. This eircuinstaiice brought
to Captain Siiiclaii"s recollection, the story
ofJaek Tliomson, who had lived a day
and a half in the water : and ti conversa-
tion cnsued, wliicli ended in a profl'ered bet
that Jack would beat the black man hollow.
The challenge was accepted and the day
fixed ; and when Tliompson was made a-
were of what had occurred, he appeared
not a little troubled, confessed that" he was
no great swininier, and for the first time
told the Captain the real truth. “Howev-
er,” lie added, “a notion strikes me, and I
will manage the matter as well as I can.”
The day of trial came round, and with it
a great crowd. Both parties having strip-
ped, Tliompson fastened a bag round his
shoulders, whicli every one remarked, was
filled with soinetliing. Blackio looked
queer, and immediately inquired, “‘vVhnt
do you wi dat '1" “Do with it,” said the
other, “yeti know we are bound on a long
cruise, and although I can swim, I cannot
starve for a whole week, and must tlicrc-
fore eurry provisions along with me. And
I advise you.to do the same; for the sake
of being light I have rather piticlied iii_v-
solf, mid cannot promise you a single bis-
cuit.” “Swiin a week," say massa, and
mess in de wave ; then me know switn wid
you ; youd be devil, no man—you sink
mo ;” and in short remained so deaf to en-
treaty, and witlial appeared so frightened,
that Capt. Sinclair gained his wager, and
rewarded Jack liberally for his ingenuity.

Love or Lu-*r..—Tliere is an indescriba-
ble something that ties us to life. For this
purpose it is not necessary that we should
be happy. Though otir life be almost
without enjoyment, we do not consent to
part with it. VVithout going to the ex-
treme of Mcccenas, who said, “though my
hand, my foot, my hip, should refuse to do
their functions, tho’ I should have a motiti-
tain on my back, and my teeth be loosed
in their sockets, nay, nail me, if you will
upon a cross, stilll desire to live?” with-
out this there is nevertheless a sentiment
that stirs within us, that produces an unde-
fiiiable aversion to the thouglit of ceasing to
be, “to lie in cold oblivion and to rot.” It
was this inspired Robison Crusoe or who-
ever was his actual prototype, and every‘
sliipwreclted mariner, when he has found
himself throw on the coast without hu-
man iiiliabitaiits. It is a dreary thing to
be cut off from the society of our fellows
and the accommodation of civilized life.—

But it is not so. He looks around, and be-

ry combustible material that offers itself to

visitor. He casts his eyes about aml con-
siders liow he may supply himself with
notirisliment and shelter. He nieditates

Coleridge relates a story to this effect‘:-’
‘ Alexander during his passage into Afri-
ca, came to a people dwelling in peaceful

saying that his sole object was to learn the
manners and customs of the iiiliabitaiits.~
Stay with us says the chief, as long as is’-
pleases thee——Duiing this interview with
the Afric-tin Chief, two of his subjects
brought a case before him for judgeinent.
The dispute was this: The one had bought
oftlie other a piece of grouiid, tvhich a't't'er'
the purcliaso, was found to cfiitain a treas-
ure, wliich he felt himself botind to pay.
The other refused to receive any thing, sta-
ting that when he sold the ground he sold
it with all the advantages, apparent or coria-
cealed, which it might be found to‘ afford}
Said the Chief, looking at the one, you
have a son, and to the other,. you have a
daugliter; let them bé married" and the
treasure be given them as a dowry. Alex.-
ander was astonished. And what, said IIIG-'
Chief, would have been the decision in your‘
country ? “'0 should have dismissed the
parties,

sun shine on your country? said the Chief,-
does the rain fall there’! are there any cattle
there which feed upon Iierbs and green
grass? Certainly, said Alexander. Ali, said
the Chief, it is for sake of these innocent;
cattle that the Great Being permits the sun
to shine, the rain to fall and the grass to-
grow in your country.

‘ CIIURCII AND STATE.

Nojealousy is more diseernable in this
republic, than ajealousy oftlic Union of
Cliureli and State. In some respects it is-
the most natural, mid in others, the most
ridiculous, iriiagiriable. .

It is ridiculous in view of the diversity of

sects which exist among us, jealous of each:
other ; ridiculous in view of otir instruc-
tions, our habits of thinking, speaking, and
acting; ridiculous, abuse, and profane in
view ofthe precepts and doctrines of the
Gospel. The Church is a kingdom» not of
this world, WIIOSC citizoiis do not fight,
whose honorable men take the lowest seat,
and whose Iicail men are the servants of all.
To the honorable believer in Christ, whose
lot is cast in this free country, scarcely any‘
thing appear more ridiculous than the fear‘
of a union of Cliuicli and State.
History and observation, Iieivcver, prove
the fear to be both just atid natural’. The.
upriglit man is not oft'endcd by an honest‘
and close inspection of his book accounts.
Ile rather dcliglits in exliibitiiig to others
the evidence ofliis integrity. The Iiumble
eliristuin will not cciisuro the world for look.-
ing with jealousy upon his political move-
ments. Ifpure, they will bear the light.
If corrupt, he is of all others most interested
to know it ; and the world is now, and has
for a tliouszind years been, too much deceiv-
ed by iinpostors, to be blamed for jealousy-
True patriotism, pure and eiilgliteiied CIlI'.IS-
tianit._y, encourage this jealousy, with the-
light ofliistory and of the day before them.’
Except this country, where is another,
civilized or savage, that is free from the
course ofthis unholy union? Icaiinot boast of
an acquaintance with all ; but as far as they"
have come to the knowledge of the writers
all have now, or very lately, used the au-
thority of their idol gods, or their favoured
sects, unduly to influence, and tyrannically
to govern the people. Oh I it ought not to
be so; it is a shame that is so; but being
so, it is well for Ainericans to be r.cas0t-i-
ably jealous of Church and State‘. ‘,

Pass by the Heathen of antiquity, tho‘
Pagans of.moder times, the Mahomet'ans',,
and Indians, and look at Christendom as it-
is, and as it has been. Surely all men are
of one blood and of like passions. The se-
cret springs which have converted Gospel
Ministers into temporal princes, yet work
in the Iiumaii heart. No reproacli.-isinten-'
ded to ministers, none to the church. 'l~‘lie‘
heart of man is the same that it was when‘
in the lapse of centuries, the Church apos-
tatised, its members used vows of poverty
and abstinence to gain wealth and indul-
gence, aiid its ministers used their office to
dethrone kings, to absolve nations from their‘
oath of allegiance, and to give away do-*
iniiiions: and, in the old world, neither the
church, nor its members, nor ministers,have
yet returned to the pure doctrines of the
Gospel. In Great Britain and her coloniegt
Episcopal communion is requisite to polit-‘
ical distinction. In all the realm of the‘
Latin liierarch_v, from Rome to Patagonia,-
mcii are for, the most’ part Catholics or
I-Iereties; Heretics are out of favour. Thus
itliappeiis, that in all christian countries,.
except our own, men. in the name of the‘
Church, lord it over the common heritage.
From these countries ours annually receives
a large increase of citizens, who bring their
habits and their prejudices with them. Wise
men need guard the portals of religious and
civilliberty. On both sides the will shun’
the unhallowed .union.—J0ur. Coin.
