HUMILITY.
BY MONTGOMERY.
The bird that: sings on highest wing
Builds on the ground her lowly nest,
And she that doth most sweetly sing,
Sings in the shade when all things rest;
In lurk and nightingale we see
\Vhat honor hath humility.
The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown
In deepest adoration bends,
The weight of glory bends him down
The most when high his soul ascends;
Nearest the throne itself must be
The footstool of humility.

'?-“Yes; I re_cko'n»you’ll find-’em there ;-4
that’s the sp,ot,_where, the old topers, and
too; that’s'th‘; spot.’
The I builditig thus designated was
occupied as a tavern; it was a simple,
unpainted edifice, with a basement story
and two others above, a projecting roof
stipported by four pillars over the second,
and the whole constructed in an old fash
ioned manner. It stands yet where ' it
stood then, but changes have taken place
in its outward appearance"; it now shines
conspicuous for its o_d‘dit7.§?}; calls to it the
attention ofthe passérs liy.""; It has changed
proprietors too, and perhaps its character,
though I know nothing of what now passes
within its walls. Following the direction
of the negro, I crossed the street and
entered the bar room. It was a somewhat
small apartment, with a bar on the western
side, lighted by a grated window, and
similar throughout to other places devoted
to like purposes. As I entered, two nieu
were drinking at the bar, and others were
sitting round the room smoking and
conversing. ~
‘I say,Jenkins,’ said the landlord,a stout,
‘what’s become of
VVatson to night.’
‘Oh I he’ll be along soon’ said Jenkins,
who was seated upon a rude bench before
the single front window, ‘I left him but a
short time since.’
I ttirned as he spoke and after looking
at him a moment, walked forward and
seated myself by his side. My disguise
effectually prevented him from recognising
me, and bending toward him, I whispered
in his ear--
‘Do you know a youngster by the name
of Lovell I’ >
He started violently and then checking
himself, said in the same whispered tones
that I had adopted,——‘come out herc,away
front the house.’
I arose without hesitation and followed
him. VVhen we Iiad gained the open air,
he ttirned up a narrow alley leading to the
before I should again meet with, Jenkins,
I made arrangements ypif_li‘*the negro, for

‘Ifl can get hold on him once more,
Mr. Lovell, he's a gene child, I tell you ;-
Lord I ifl only had him I’
‘The right spirit, Jake, but time’s wear-
ing away, and I must go.’
I left the honest African and proceeded
slowly toward the tavern. \‘\ hen I enter-
ed, Jenkins was not there, and] sat down
on the bench, to wait for him. At any
other time, I should have felt an interest,
in watching the various persons present,
tmdilistening to their rough conversation-
But I was too full of my own thoughts to
observe what was passing around me. At
length Jenl ins came; w.tl1 n mute gesture
he signified his wish, that I should follow
hitn, and I arose and left the house, in his
company.
‘I have seen 'Watson, the fellow thall-
spoke of,’ said he, ‘he has been slyfor
some time, and when I told him what you
had said, he was anxious enough to get
off. VVe had got a horse in readiness for
any emergency, and I let Tom have him
now, and he has started for the West,
within the last hour. He said he should
not stop sliortfof I linois. ' So he’s dis-
posed of. But come, let’s..be moving.’
‘VVhat do you intend to do 1’ I inquired,
as we walked toward the Bridge.
‘I’ll look out for myself, I rec on,’ was
the reply, ‘here thisway, we don’t nan;
to cross the Bridge.’ ‘
We turned into the street that went
northward, and approached the old house.
I’lere’s where we caught the chap,’ said
Jen ins, ‘we go in here,’ and in ti few
moments we entered the apartment where
he and \Vatson had arranged their plan,
and Wlllcll I have previously described.
‘Sit down,’ said Jen‘t‘ins, after he had
lighted a candle and pointing to a chair,
‘l’ll be back shortly,’ and he left the room,
by an inner door, that apparently opened
upon a stair-case. I listened to his foot-
steps, as he ascended to the second story.
Then for a time, all was silent. At length
Iheard hitn returning, and "it sound as if
some one accompanied him. There was
the rustling of a. dress on the stairs; I
started, my heart throbbed violently, and
with difficulty I mastered my emotion, as
he re-entered the room lending a female
form by his side. It was Ellen——but she
north and uttered not a word till we were
at a distance from any house. ,
‘Now’ said he, stopping suddenly, and?
seizing me by the throat, ‘tell me whatl
yoti meant.’
‘Take your fist from my cravat then,’
said I coolly, ‘yoii won’t make any thing
by trying to scare me.’
‘what the devil did you mean '!’ i
‘I meant that you are a murde r; you‘
kidnapped a boy ;‘ you carried him to a

been her fate in the power of such a
lremorseless villain as Jenkins. 1 was
young, and weak,and poor, and astranger,
‘and even should I effect the Tdleliverance
lof Ellen, would not her father, whose at-
tention had not before been called to our
affection on account ofour extreme youth,
command his daughter to shun the society
of one like me, one too, who had incurred
the enmity of the tnost unscrupulous of the
community. I reached the main street of
the village as these thoughts we're passing
through my mind, and shaking them off
with an effort, I tur'ne‘d _to the _left, toward
the’ Bridge. I had proceeded but a little
distance, when I paused before a kind of
grocery, eating and drinking establishment
of considerable notoriety at that time, on
the water side of the road and which was
brilliantly lighted and displaying various
indications of the good cheer within. I
waited for the negro to come up, and
asked if be supposed the object of our
search would be likely to be there. _.
' ‘Lord !» no, Mr. Lovell; what, si'c'I1 met’:

‘No, but I supposed from its exterior, it
might be it place of resort.’

‘How, man, tell me how.’
‘The youngster was picked up by it sloop
was sadly changed. Her face was thin
and very pale, and her eyes red and swol-
len, as if with weeping. But there was a
compression of her lips, and a slight shade
upon her brow, that spoke of determined
resolution.

‘I will keep it,’ she murmured in so

had wrought so cruel a change. , '
‘l’\'ow, Mark,’ said he, _turning to me,
this is the girl. I lmowatliatl can take
care of myself, but-' what to do with her, I
can’t tell. She’s a’ fierce little vixen, and
Pm half affraid ofher myself.’ ’
While he spoke, Ellensank into a chair
by the table,and bowed her face upon her
hands. ‘I did’nt hardly know what I meant
to do myself, when Ibrouglit her here,’
lcontinued Jenkins, ‘and since she’s been Pe-
here, I've hardly spoken to her twice;

OLD DEMOCRACY.
_ George Washington,ir1 his first Annual
Message, after signing the first Tariff bill,
framed avowedly . “to protect manufac-
tures,”. says 5
"The safety and interest of the People rd-
_ quire that they should promote‘ such manufac-
; turcs as tend to render them independent of oth-
,ers for essential, particularly for military sup-
- lies.” . '
Thomas Jeffer_sor1, in his Message to
‘Congress of Dec. I5‘, 180%, thus éhumer-_
ates the proper objects ofour Government 3
“To cultivate peace and maintain ¢‘omfi£re‘r¢'§
and navigation in all their lawful ei1te'rp‘.rise's_; to
foster our fisheries as nurseries of navigation,
and four the nurture of man, and protect thc'mi17i-
u_/Ztci-'."itres uda ited to our circumstances ; to pre-
serve‘ the faith of the Nation by an exact dis:
charge of its debts and contracts, expend the‘
p1‘.l.‘llc money with the‘ some care and economy
we would practice with our own, and impose on;
our citizens no unnecessary‘ burdens ; to lteepitp
11. things within the pale of our Constitutional‘
powers, and cherish the Federal Union ‘as the
only rock of safety :—these, fellow citizens, art)‘
the landmarl,-s by which we are to guide our-
selves in all our proceedings. _ By continuing to

Cons(1°(1m'on, and pr0rnot_e an union (1 sentiment
and of action equally auspicious to their happi-
ness nnd sufet.y,". _ —
Again, in his Message of 1806, appro-
hending a surplus Revenue, he says: '
“To what other objects shall these surpluses
be appropriated, and the surplus of impost tiller»
the entire discharge of the public debt? Shall
we suppress the impost, and give that admin-
ta ge to foreign our dam esiéc manufactures 7"’
“He proceeds to say, t,hat,.oji:a:few arti-
cles the impost may be suppressed, but
that, with regard to the great?’-"nit_tss of
them, the “patriotism” of the’-‘people.
would “prefer its continuance and applica-
tion to the great purposes of public educa-
tion. roads, rivers, canals, and such other
objects of public‘ improvement as it may
be thought proper .-_to the constitutional
enumeration of fe'(I_é,1"" ‘ ”
In his last a'i'rtiutilj
gress, on the 8th OIQN
Jefferson says:
“The suspension of’
ed by the belligerent P V A j
quenr losses and sacrifices ' ' _. r , citizens, are
subjects of just concern. The sitimtion into
which we lave thus been forced has impelled
us to apply it portion’ of our‘ industry and capital‘

that, with respect to ‘such articles at least as be-L

should not be left in ii state of unnecessary de-

President Monroe, in his Inaugural Ad-
dress, March 5th, 1817, observes: "
“Our manufacturers will likewise require the
systematic and flistwing care of the Government.
Possessing as we do‘, all the raw materials, the
fruit of our own soil and industry,‘ we ought. nofi ,
to depend, in the degree we have done, on sup’.-
lies from other countries.
