of her fatlie_r’s tobacco, and eating their veni-

acknowledged that he had giycn them, but had
given them merely as matters of‘ common civili-

gave a. loud scre.:m, and fainted in the arms of

ment, and whctliergtiided by the justice of the
case, or touched with the sufferings of the
, squaw, brought in a verdict of daniagos, sen-
tenced the oficnder to give the broken lieartcd
fair one—a yellow ferttlittr, a brooch that w.--s
then dangling from his nose, and a dozen beaver
skins. The sentence was no sooner pronounc-
ed than the squaw recovered from her swoon,
sprang on her feet clapping her hands with joy,
and crying out, ‘now 1 am ready to conrtagain.’

THROWN THE nowr. ASIDE.
By Charles F. Amcs.
I’ve thrown the bowl zishle,
For me no more shall flow
Its ruddy stream or sparkling title,
How brigltt so e’er it glow;
I've seen cxtentling wide
Izs devastating sway,
See-ti reason yield its power‘ to guide-
l't'e cast the bowl away!
i'v r:
O. ne'er tempt me again
To drain the cup ofsin!
For ruin dire, disease and pain,
Taiut all that foams within;
Nt=glected duties rise
‘ In feztrful, sad array’.
Up to its brim. I will be wise-
’ I've cast the bowl away!
I've seen the pride of all—
The wise, the good, the great-—
Like sututrter leaves, all titrtelessfull,
And veil their high estate;
l’ve'seeu fair woman give
Her every charm away—-
Embrace the tletttort vile, and live !—
I’vc cast the bowl away!
My days of revelry
O, gladly I give up;
The_v’re but the masks of tnisE‘f‘_‘)’.‘
\Vltich still lurk in the cup;
While Indolence and VVant
And Poverty display
Theutselves in every tlruukt.-rd'slinurtt-—
I've cast thebowl away!
A rlrtirtkard’s gloomy grave
Shall neier be tirade for me;
0, rather let the rushing wave
Eugulf me in the Sea!
And may it be my lot
To die ‘us-atlt tcasort’s ray!
Rcrt'.ember’d by my friends or not.
l’vc cast the bowl away!
My path ltcncefortlt is plain,
Iii honesty to live-
To shun Iutcmperattce and its train,
By iridttstry to thrive;
No tlut-v to forget, ‘
Atidilive to bless the day
\Vlten .l was led without regret,
To cast the bowl away!

republication of an old and excellent atiecdute of
Mr. Clay: _ , _ _
It occttrrcd in ltts Congressional ctiuvnss, im-
mediately after the question was taken on the
Compensation Bill, for which he voted. Mr.
Clay was in the act. Of3.(ldl‘l3S$lilgf his frierids,
when one ofthe oldest and must respectable of
his-constituents, and 6 stteccssftil luuter in by
2-one do).-F, stepped up to hint with his never far -
ing companion, the long rifle, and the following"
dialog;-ue custtetl :
‘\Vell Harry,’ S!-‘."S the old man. _‘I have sup-
portod youn long time, but I can do it no longer:
Vfiu have voted for that iitt.-erztltlv Compensation
Bill, and I have done with you.’ _
qndecd,’ says Mr.» Clay, ‘I deeply regret it ;
but come, my ft-icnd, you were an active hunter
iii the early days ofKentu2ky, is it not so ‘l’
‘I was,’ was the reply given, in some surprise
at the qu -s:iou.
‘And vott were a good shot C"
. In ",3: young days there were few _m_v cqtitil,’
said the old man with, :1 look of ancient pride.
.Aod your rifle is a good one I’ll warrant,
and has ofen done yoti some good service '3’
There is not a. better in the State,’ said the
hunter, ‘arid it has often befriended me at my ut-
most need.’ _ .
‘V\’ell,’ said Mr. Clay, ‘did it never happen
that the good old rifle, when a fine buck with
branching antlers was dashing by. has SH?-Ppetlt
ntissed fit-c, and the gatne been lost 1’
The hunter after some pause and reflection,»
replied that it miglit have happened.
‘ Well,’ said Mr. Cltty, ‘did you then in a. rage
take that faitliful rifle, and for one fault break it
to pieces against the uearest_tr_ee; or did you
pick the flint‘, put in new printing, and try it
again ’!’ . ‘ ’ . ,
The tears stood in the veteran S.€yCS-—1t_'l ti

it again; and, Harry, I’ll try you again !’ -

Constitution that (‘ttngress has power over both

What was the necessity for any plan? It
was not the crisis of the country. but it was the’

It was. then, the general conirttittiient efiife
party r-gaittst the use of the Batik, or any B-» nk,
by which the adutinistration was brought into 0.

No sooner had the state banks sttspenrlcd, and

cry of treachery, want of faith. pr.-rfitly-——n-cry

that they should do precisely wliat they did, and
by saying that they ltad not the power, _rclieve
themselves from the ditty ofexercising it. They
had tlr-privctl tltcutselves of the constitutional
utcmis of pcrfortiuing their duty, and tried to‘
avoid the l't‘S[)t;llSll)llIly, but the people forced
