THE PAINS OF PLEASURE.
What pains and penalties attend__
’ The wiglit whose being’s aim and end,
Is wholly self enjoyment;
His easy chair becomes a rack,
And all Pandora’s plagues attack,
The wretcli who wants employnrent.
To show the exquisite distress
That ever waits on idleness,
He flies to dissipation ;
Drinks deep to keep the spirits up
And in the inebriating cup
Drowns health and reputation.
And now in fashion's vortex hurled
A dandy of the genteel ivorld
He figures in the ton;
The wise man laiiglis, the simple stare
To see the coriseqiicritial air
The silly rake puts on.
Now drives his curricle about
To club, zisseiiilrly, hall and mitt
To wzistc his time and treasure;
Gives sensutil an ietitc, the reins
av ' ‘Q 0
And takes itliiriitablc pains
To sccin it man of pleasure.
The course oflife such fools pursue
“’oiild worry down the wandering Jew
VVorse oil‘ than the galley slave;
And ten to one about the time
The man of virtue’s in his prime
Such sots are in their graves.
And if their life is lengthened out
By dint of constitution stout
In apathy and pain; A
A ruby, carbuneled face
Displays the signals of disgrace
Like mark first set on Cain.
And now Paralysis and Gout
Parade their forces round about
The citadel of life ;
In vain the Doctor tries his skill
His obstinate opponents still
Are victors in the strife.
Disease, remorse with joint attack,
Now put at once upon the rack
Their bodies and their souls ;
The wretched victim suffers more
Tlitni M ontcztinra did of yore
When stretched on burning coals.

PON the Petition of I-luldah Mansfield of '
less in substance I)!.‘t'Il pf0p0ull(lt'(l and to-
forced by elder and wisrrr men long ago and
often. Still, as they do not yet appear to
have exerted their full and proper cf-I. ct- on
the ripening lnlcllccl of the country-—as
thousands on thousands are toilsowely, pain-
fully struggling forivzrrd in the race for po-
sition and l{ti0\\‘lt:(.l_£’e, in palpable defiance
oftheir scope and spivit——I will hope that
their press-ntatioir at this time cannot be with-
out some effect on at least a few expanding
minds. They are as follows:
1. Avoid the common error ofesteeming a
college education or-ccssary to llSt’ftllni'SS or
eminence in life. Such art education may
be desirable and l‘l"nt‘fIt‘lill—l0 many it is
doubtless so. But Greek and Latin are not
real knowletige; they are only the means of
:icquiring such knotvledge: there have been
great. and Wise, surpassiugly useful men in
all agrs who knew no lnriguage, but their
mother tongue. Beside. in our day the
trcasures of ancient in contemporary foreign
Literature are brought home to every man's
door by translations, which embody the sub-
stance ifthey do not exhibit all the beauties
ofthe originals. Ifyour circumstances in
life enable you to enjoy the advantages of
a college education, do not neglect them-—
above all do not missimprove them. But if
your lot be different. waste notime in idle
repining, in humiliating beggary. The
stem, self-respecting imlcpendence of your
own soul is worth whole shelves ofclassics.
All men cannot and need not be college bred
——not even those who are born to instruct
and improve their kind. You can never be
deemed ignorant, or your acqnirements clon-
terrrptable, if you embrace and fully improve
the opportunities which are fairly offered
you. ,_
II. Avoid likewise the kindred and equal-
ly pernicious crror that you must have a
pr0ft‘>ssion--must be a Clergyman, Lawyer,
Doctor, or something of the sort—in order
to be in fluential, useful, respected-—or, to
state the case in its best aspect, that you may
lead an intllectual lifc. Nothing of the
kind is neccssary—vcry far from it. lfyour
tendencies are intellcctual—if you love
knowledge, wisdom. virtue for themselves-—
you will grow in them‘ whether you earn
your bread by ti profession. ii trade. or by
tillingthe ground. Nay._it may be doubted
whether the farmer or mechanic who rlr-votes
his lcisurc hours to intellectual pursuits from
a pure love ofthe.-in has not some advantages
therein. over the professional man. He
comes to his book at evening with his head
clear, and his mental appetite sharpened by
the manual labors. taxing lightly the spirit
or brain; while the lawyer, who has been
running over dry old books for precedents,
the doctor, who has been racking his wits for
a remedy adapted to some new modification
Of disease. Or the divinc, who, immured in
' his closet, has been busy preparing his next
sermon, may well approach the evening
volume with senses jaded and pulled. There
are few men, and perhaps fewer women, who
do notspend uselcssly. in sleep, or play, or
frivolous employments, more time, than
would be required to redder them at thirty
well versed in History. Philosophy, Ethics.
as well as the Physical sciences, etc.
l_Il. Neither is an advantageous location
essential to the prosecution of cnnobling stu-
dies, or an intellectual life; on this point
inisapprebension is very prevalent and very
pernicious. A youth horn in some rural or
but thinly settled district, where books are
few and unfit and the means of intellectual
culture apparently scanty, feels within him’
the stirrings of a spiritol ir:c,niry. acraving
to acquire and to know aspirations for the
intellectual condition above the dead level
around him. At once he jumps to the con-
clusion that ll place is necessary to the satis-
faction of his desires-—that he must resort, it
not to the university or the seminary. at least
to the city or village. I-le fancies he must
alter his whole manner of life--that a :per
sistance in manual labor is unsuited to, if not
absolutely inconsistent with the aspirations
tttvakent‘(.l within l'ilm—-lhzit he must become
an author, a professor, a lfl\V_\'(’l', at least a
mt-rchant or follower of some culling unlike
that of his fathers.
IVrrrpped in his delusions, he l-etrikcs
himself to the city’s dusty wzivs. Where
sooner or later, the nature and cxtent of his
mistake bursts upon him. If he finds satis-
factory employmcnt and is prospered in the
way of life which he prefers, the cares and
dcnizrnds of business almost constrain him
to rcliriqirish those pursuits for which he
nbandoncd his more quictand natural lilc.——
If he is less fOl'ltlntil.t.‘. anxieties for the inor-
row. a constant and difficult strtigglc forthe
means of creditable sirbsistmce, and to avoid
becoming ft‘ bortlien or dctrirm-tit to others
who have trusted or endeavor!-d to sustain
him. these crowd out of being the thought or
the hope of mental culture or advancement.
Nay, more. and are worse--in the tumultu-
ous strife of business and money getting,
whether successful or otherwise, the very
(lo-sire of intellcctual i-luv.-rtion is too often
stifled, or greatly enfeebled. and that death of
the sottl ensues in which satisfaction of the
physical appctite becomes the aim of life—
the man is stink in the capitalist or trnclcr.
and the Eathering of shining dust tirade the
great end of his being.
But what shall the yoiitb do who finds his
means of intellectual culture iiiaclrqriate to
his wants? I ht-sitarte not to say that he
should create more and bcttcr just where he
is. Not that I would have him rt-jcct any
real opportunity or pr'offer of incrcasetl facili-
ties which may open before him. I will not
s-rv that he should not accept a university
cducation, the means of studying for a pro-
.f.-ssion. ifsuch should come fairlv in his
way and be seconded by his own inclination.
Brit I do insist that nolbing of this sort is
essential to the grcat end he has or «should
have in view--—n-amely self-Cultnrc. To
this end it is only necdful that he should [‘~l1l
forth frilly the powers within him and right-
ly moirld'.t-lie circumstances by which he is

nificance‘, and more impressive than the pro-

not still modes of procuring tliern? Is he a

Hindori women to think the pnsivc t'll(lUl‘fln(?'-‘

respects her litisbzintl in proportion as he

premising a genuine energy and singli-ness
of purpose—the circumstances are nothing ;
the man is all. We may be the slaves or
toys of circumstances if we will; most men,
perhaps are so; and to these all circumstan-
ces are alike evil--that is rendered so ifnot
by rugged —difiic.ulty. than by soft temptation.

Dnytbrr !_ ”Y‘on'll get no Governor, and no
Senator, old coons_!_ No promises"! no con-
ccsssions! VVe’ve got half and we’ll take all!
Such and a thousand othervcries arose from
the'frahtic’crowd,amid tumultuouscheers av.
shoots, and clapping andjumping and groans.
As soon as it was dark enough for a can-
dle to-shine at all, they got out their trans-
p:ira'ricies and banners, their drums and fifes
and flags; and a long procession of all the
men-and all the boys of the party marched
through the streets. In this part of the town
they:_cbeer'ed only at the houses of the aris-
tocracy. Gov. Vroom came to his door and
made a speech-——sbort but sweet. f‘You’ve
done nobly, gallaritly, my brave boys!’ said
lit-'. ‘-Thrt-e cheers for New Jersey ;" and
then his Excellency unbt-nt his dignity and
swung his but three times around his majes-
tic head. The crowd responded with great
enthusiasm. They gave three groans at the
Governor's, house, and three at Mr. Hal-
stead's, and then understanding that the
Governor was at Judge Day‘ton’s they
nrari-lied thither and gave six groups. V
The second train from, Philadelphia con-
fimcd the news from Cumberland and they
marcht-rl up and down the streets, and their
ci'rthusia'sm had increased so much that they
cheered for t.-vr:t'y Loco Foco whose house
they. passed —-Down Green street they
came in great glee. Three cheers for Cap-
tuin Witberup! cried out Captain Joseph
A. Yard; and three cheers were given as
“Bucl.'y” gave the word “once-—twice-—

Three cheers for Squire Mt-Clung ;
shouted out Captain Yard; but at that mo-

shoot from down street broke on their ears.
and some one-canre running up with the
word that the New York train was in and
flfm-ris /torl goncfor t/re IV/rigs! This was
terrible; they would'nt believe it. It wasa
Whig lie , and yr t they could’nt help believ-
ing it. ‘_‘Three cheers for Squire Mt-Clung,'
shouted out Captain Yard: again; "Bucky”
give the word. '“I can’t do it,” says Bucky.
You must. I've announced them, and we
must give them. VVe have lost Morris. - It

this time the shouts down town rose louder
and l0t.l:.lt'l‘, and List of all some whigs came
up to -borrow their lanterns. This was too
much. The men broke their ranks and left

a short time before, they started out, in such

to carry -.1 few of'tlrc.ir transparencies; and
they ninrchetl into the house, put out their
lights, escaped through the back yard and
disappeared. VVc looked on their deserted
places with pity and cominiseration. Alasl
we thought &IS the so prophecy soon fulfill-

But, meanwhile there was secn. down
town. another sight. It was but little after
3 o'clock, and though the evening was one
of Hcavr-_~n’s fairrrst, and the rrroon shone
brightly and gladly on the earth. the Whigs
heedcd not her smiles, but sadly and sullenly
shut their doors, and withdrew to their
gloomy fire sides, or their beds to sleep

of midnight reigned through Second street;
when suddenly it shout burst on the stillness,
and some one rushed down from the depot,
like a race horse, crying out Morris l Fire!
Vl/_higsl Hurrah!
The whistle of Roderick Dhu was not
more magical. The doors of all the stores
and houses burst open, and the whigs rush-
ed out, in all directions. Vv'hat’s that you
say ? Morris has gone for the whigs! It was
enough. You could bear the shouts in eve-
ry bouse, in all the streets. In an instant
the streets were alive, and all the whigs of
Trenton, men and boys, were running to
Van Noi'den’s . where the news was read, as
soon as the noise of the multitude could be
stifled. Words would be vain to portray
the»erithusi'asm, the joy, the bursts of glee,
the st-arnpi-ng. the cheering and clapping.—-
A procr-ssion was formed at once, and those
who had just before been insulted by groans,

VVhcn we issued our last paper it wasim-;
(let‘st.ooCl that the result of the election in the-
state dept.-nzletl upon the county of Camber-,
land. The Whigs had carried one half;
of each house; if Cumberland should also!
go for them, they would have a majority in!
both, if not there would be a tie in both, and?
neither party would have the ascendency.
This wnslthe state of things tlirougiioutl,
when tbefirst line from Philadelphia brought:
the intelligence that Cumberland had gone’
forthe Locofocos. The first the town heard
of it, a Loco came ‘sin-rifting out’ through
Second street, shoiiting‘, half out of breath,
"we have got Cumberland by 30 inrijority——
Hurrah, I-lurrzih. 30 majority in_ Cumber-
land.” At once the sborrts were c.-rugrlit up
and repeated again and again by the party,
and spread like wild fire tlirougli the town ;'
and in an instant almost. from every street
and corner and alloy and door. rushed in
streams of men and boys to their headquar-
ters at Holwcll’s who cau.<:lit'each other in
frantic embraces and shouted and ‘cheered,
and jumped about like lunatics. '
Nine cheers for Cumberland l three
groans for the gone ‘coons l’ ten groans for

were called out by mighty cheering. The
Governor, Judge Dayton, Mr. I-lalsted and
Mr. Green, were visited at their residences.
Mr. Green, unfortunately was iiotat home;
but the others made excellent speeches. full
of wit and humor, good feeling, as might be
expected in such circumstances. The re-
joicing went on throughout the town till a
late hour. We can’t describe it. Every
heat rt and every countenance was full ofjoy;
and’ever'y voice expressed it in such shouts
as never was heard in Trenton before, in "all
the triumphs of parties.
