FORGIVE AND FORGET."
BY THE AUTHOR or ‘rt-.ov=t:r.BiAL PHILOSOPHY.
\Vlien streams of unkindness as bitter as gall
Bubble up'from the heart. to the. tongue,
1‘
And mcekncss is writhing in tornient and tlirall,
By the hand of ingrat.iti:de wrung———
In the heat ofinjustice, uiiwept and unfair,
\-Vliile the anguish is festering yet,
None, but an angel of God can declare
“I now can forgive and forget.”
Butt, the, bad spirit is chased from the licart,
, And the lips are in penitence steeped, [part
\Vith the wrong so repented the wrath will do-
Though scorn on injustice were heaped ;
For the best compensation is paid for all ill, .
\Vlien the check with contrition is wet,
And every one feels it. is possible still,
At once to forgive and forget.
To forget ? It is hard for a man with a iziriiié,
However his heart may forgive,
To blod out all perils and dziiigers behind,
And but for the futtire to live ;
Then how shall it. be ‘I for at every turn
Recollection the spirit will fret,
And the ashes of injury sniouldcr and burn,
Though we strive to forgive and forget.
Oh, liearkeri 3 my tongue shall the riddle unseal
And mind shall be partiier with heart,
'\Vhile thee to tliysclfl bid conscience reveal,
And show thee how evil thou art;
Remember thy folios, thy sins, and—-thy crimes,
A How vast is that infinite debt !
Yet Mercy hath seven by severity times
Been swift to forgive and forget.
Brood not on insults or injuries old,
For thou art: injurious too~——
Count. not the sum till the total is told,
For thou art; unkind mid untrue :
And if all thy liarins are forgotten, forgiven,
New mercy with justice is met,
Oli,who would not gladly tak e lessons of Heaven,
And learn to forgive and forget 7
Yes, yes, let a man when his enemy weeps,
Be quick to receive him a friend I
For thus on his head in kindness lie heaps
Hot coals to refine and amend : [_vearn,
And hearts that; are Christinii more eagerly
As H nurse on her innocent pct,
Over lips that, once bitter, to penit'enco turn,
And whisper, Forgive and Forget.
MISCELLANY.
THE GRAND DUKE AND THE JEIV.
ln the early part of the year 1826, an
English gentleman, from Akiiieicli in the
Crimca,liaving occasion to travel to France
on business of importance, directed his
course by way of VVarsaw in Poland.
About an hour after his arrival in that city,
he quittcd the tavern in which he had been
taking a refreshment, to take a walk
through the streets. While sauntering in
from of one of the public buildings, he met
an elderly gentleman of a grave and cour-
teous demeanor. After mutual exchange
of civilities they got into conversation,
during which, with the characteristic
frankness of an Englisliman, he told the
stranger who he was, where. from, and
whither he was going. The other in the
most friendly manner invited him to share
the liospitalitics of his house, till such time
as he found it convenient to resume his
jouriiey—-adding, with a smile, that it was
not impossible that he might visit the Cri-
mea himself in the course of that year,
when, perhaps, he might require :1 similar
return; the invitation was accepted, and
lie was conducted to a splendid mansion,
elegant without and comiiiodius within.
Unboundcd liberality on the part of the
Pole, produced unbounded confidence on
the part of the Englishman. The latter
‘had asmall box of jewels of great value
which he had carried about his person
from the time of his leaving liome—find-
ing that mode of conveyance both liazard-
ous and inconvenient in a town, he reques-
ted his munificcnt host to deposit it in a
place of security till ne should be ready to
go away. At the expiration of three days
he prepared for his departure, and on
asking for his box, how was be amazed
when the old gentleman, with a counte-
nance exliibittng the utmost surprise, re-
plied:
‘\Vli:it box 1’
‘VVhy, that small box of jewels which I
gave to you to keep for me.’
‘My dear sir, you must be mistaken ; I
never, really, saw or heard of such a box.’
The Englishman was petrified. After
recovering himself a little, he requested he
would call his wife, she having been pres-
ent when he received it.
She came, and on being questioned, on-
swered in exact unison with her linsband
——expressing the same surprise-—-and be-
nevolently endeavoring to persuade her
distracted guest that it was a mere hallu-
cination. _
With mingled feelings of horror, aston-
ishment and despair, he walked out of the
house and went to the tavern at which he
had put up on his arrival at \Varstiw.—-
There he related the mysterious story, and
learned that his iniquitous host was the rich-
est Jew in Poland. He was advised with-
out delay, to state the case to the Grand
Duke, who fortunately happened at that
time to be in VVarsaw.
He accordingly waited upon him, and
with little ceremony was admitted to an
audience. He briefly laid down his case,
and Constantine “with a greedy ear de-
voured up his discourse.” Constantine
expressed his astonislimerit—told him he
knew the Jew, having had extensive mon-
ey transactions with liim—tliat he had al-
ways been respectable, and of an unblem-
ished cbaracter. ‘However,’’ he addded,
“I will use every legitimate meaiis to un-
vail the mystery.” So saying, he called
on some gentleiiicn who were to dine with ,
ESDAY, APRIL 8. 18-16.
him that day, and dispatched a messenger
with a note to the Jew requesting his pres-
ence. Aaron obeyed the summons.
‘Have you no recollcoition of having
,received :1 box ofjewcls from the liandlofl
‘this gentleman '2’ said the Duke.-
‘None my lord,’ was the reply.
‘Strange, iiitleed. Are you perfectly
'c'o‘nsc‘iou‘s,’ turning to the Englishman,
_‘tl.:-it you gave the box as stated '7.’
‘Quite certain, my lord.’
Then addressing himself to the Jew-
‘This is a very singular case, and I feel
it my duty to use singu‘la'r means to as-
certain the trutli ; is your wife‘ at home I’
‘Yes, my lord.’
‘Tlien,’ continued Constantine, ‘there is
a sheet of paper and here is ti pen; pro-
.ceed to write a note to your wife in such
terms as lshall dictate.’
Aaron lifted the. pen.
‘Now,’ said the second Solomon, ‘com-
mence by saying-—‘All is discovered !—
There is no recourse but to deliver up the
box I have owned the fact in the presence
of the‘ Grand Duke.”
‘A tremor shook the frame of the Israel-
ite, and the pen dropped from his fingers.
lint instantly recoveriiig himselfhe said.
‘That is inipossible, my lord. That
would be directly implicating myself.
‘I give you my word and honor,’ said
Constantine, ‘in presence of every one
the roo:n, that what you write’ shallnever
be us:-d as an instrument; against you, far-
tlicr than the effect it produces on‘ your
wife. If you are innocent you have notli-
ing to fear—-but if you persist in not wri-
ting it, I will hold it as a proof of your
guilt.’
With a trembling hand the terrified Jew
wrote out the note, folded it up, and as he
was desired, scaled it with his own signct.
Two officers were dispatched with . it to
his house, and when Sarah glanced over
the contents, she swooned and sunk to the
ground. The box was delivered up and
restored to its ovvner—-and the Jew suf-
fered the punislimcnt his villaiiiy deserved.
He was sent to Siberia.
BROILED MACKEREL.
Somebody who signs himself “Ohio,” tells
the following, about‘ a C‘-ongressnicn formerl_v of
that State: .
The venci-a’3le Gen. H was for sev-
eral consecutive years returned to Con-
gress, and as the hotels and boarding lion-
ses at Wasliiiigton city in those days were
all pretty much ...on a par, the members
were in the habit of occupying, yearafter
year, the same rooms. The table of Gen.
H's boarding house (which was kept by a
widow lady who had two daughters) was
rcgularly furnished with stereotyped div.-
ners, and at one end of the table there
always appeared a broiled inackerel. Gen.
H. whose seat was near the fish, had gaz-
ed so frequcntly upon it, (for it never was
touched except by the cook) that he knew
it “all by heart.”
Now,if the distinguished Representative
had any one peculiar virtue, it was an af-
fectionatc desire to make every person and
every creature happy.
“fell, in the course of time, Congress
adjourned, and Gen. H. paid his billto the
widow and got ready to start for home.
The stage stood at the door, and then the-
old gentleman showed the kindness of his
heart. He took the widow by the hand
and pressing it bade her farewell, then
kissing the (lauglitcrs, he said he would
like to see them in Ohio and furnish them
with good husbands, &c., but even this
was not all. The black boys, who stood
along the wall, were not forgotten, and
grimied as he handed each a silver dollar;
and as he passed around the breakfast ta-
ble, which was not yet “cleared off,” he
saw his old friend the mackerel. The
tears came into his eyes and raising it by
the tail with his thumb and finger, parted
with it, saying, “l-V:-ll, good bye, my old boy,
good bye .’ you mull have served a long
campaign together, but, (wiping his eyes) I
suppose we 5-/tall meet again next wz'n’er—
good bye !” l‘lie old gentleman left the
house, andjnmping into the stage, rattled
off, and fortunate for his ears, the widowl
never saw him again.

'IIeart-Tending position of a Blrot/zer and
Szstur.—Our_ attention was attracted on
Monday night, in the First Municipality,
by a large crowd of people surrounding ix‘
good looking, neatly dressed young sailor;
and a rather pretty looking girl, apparently
not more than sixteen years of age. On
inquiring into the cause of tliedisturbzmce,
the followirig deplorable circumstances
were related. and they were sufficiently
painful to account for the singular be-
havior Ofhllle sailor and the girl :--The
sailor had just returned from along criiise
at sea, and was on a bit of a lark about
town, full of frolic, when he encountered
the female in the streets, struck up an ac-'
quaintance with her, and invited her to’
accompany him. From sortie unaccount-
able l‘€t1S0}‘!',‘ the girl felt a repugnance to
going vvitli him, but at last c'onsente_d, and
was invited by her companion to enter a.
neighboring cafe and geta drink. Whil'e
standing at tlié bar, vvaitiiig for their liq-
nor, the woman gazed on-the sailor with
(lislendcd eyes, and with a look of a has-
ilisk. I-ler bosom was seen to throb vio-
lently, her respiration became thick, and
she of a sudden seized her compani0n’s
hand, recognised a familiar mark on it,
and hysterically sliricked out, "llfly broth-
er! oli,-my brother!” And so he v-‘vas.—-
He had not seen her for eight years, and
when he had left her, \*."i1ii her parents. in
New York, she was a fair haired, prattling
little child. The sailor knew his sister
and cursed her, swearing he would kill her
and then drown himsc‘.f.' The pbl_ice', how-
ever, interfered, and bore him off wliilelie:
exclaimed, “What shall I say to fath‘er and
mother when I see them’! Shall I say I
came to New Orleans, and found my
sister 2/ ’ Herc his voice became iti-
ldistinct in the distance. Towards morn-
‘ing, he was more calm,and left the police
office with the bitterness of grief in his’
heart. He endeavored to find his sis-t9'r"s
residence, asking for her in his own name,
but no one knew her. She had no doubt
abandoned her family name wlien she be-
c:imc abandoned herself. The brother and;
sister had -not seen one another for eight
years, she having left her home about that
time, since when her parents had lieard
nothing of her. These two iinfortunatcs
may indeed feel even happy, under their
afflictions, that the recognition was so op-
portuncly made. —.N'. 0. Bee.
At a meeting of the cliurcli members of
a town somewhere down east, to take into
consideration the low state of religion,
and to endeavor to ascertain if the cause
was not the lack of spiritual grace among
tlie professors. Deacon S. rose‘ and said
that “although he had enjoyed the reputa-
tion ofa holy man of many years, and had
been probably looked tip to by many of
his neighbors as an example worthy of
imitation, he felt compelled to confess how
unworthy be was of that name and charac-
ter. He felt himself to be wanting in, sin-
eerily, in much tliat:he ‘and possessed; lie
was avaricious and hard-liearted; he had
frequently over-reached his neighbors bar-
gaining with tliein, :ind been insensible to
the appeals of the destitute, for assistance.
He felt himself to be a great sinner in-
deed, and he begged the prayers of his
brethren.” Mr. B. rose and said he had
listened with the most pleasing emotions
,=to the candid avowals of brother S., and
=lest there should be doubts in the minds
-of any, as to the sincerity of his confes-
lsions, he would state, that, having been
iwell acquainted with Deacon‘ S."foi' the
zlasl fifteen years, he could certify to the
itruth of all he had said concerning him-
self that evcning-._ Wherenpon Deacon S.
sprang up, his eyes sparklitig with rage,
and doubling his fist at l\’Ir.B., exclaimed,
“You lie sir! and I will flog you as soon
Sometime after the introduction of teams you get out of doors pa
into Miissacliusetts, a citizen from Cape
Cod came up to Boston, to trade off his
fish. The merchant pursuaded him to take ;
a pound of tea among other articles of;
household requiremnts. “l’v:': heard Of‘
the article,” said the Cape Cod man; “but
how is it to be cooked?”
“lt must be boiled,” said the iiiercliaiit;
“and is ,,1w,,)-5 used when company
comes.” ' - ’
The tea was taken home, and it was re-
solved to be hospitable. Company was
invited to spend the day.
At dinner, a line piece of boiled beef,‘
and another of good fat pork, with an ac-
companiment of potatoes and carrots,
graced the table. “And now,” said the
host, as he looked in triumph, first to his’
wife and then to his guests, whom he
served bountifully with the vi-ands before
them, “help Mrs. Basset to something
from that dish.” _ . _
The pewter spoon was thrust into a dish
of well boiled tea leaves, from which the
water had been carefully strained, and
each, from the arcliitriclilinos_down to the
youngest guest, was served with a quanti-
ty oftlie Chinese weed, real green Sou-
chong.
“Taste of that,” said the worthy host:
“it is tea, such as the quality in Boston
and Plymouth make ‘such a‘ fuss about.”
A German Joke.-—In Germany, the Aus-
trians bear the reputation of being the au-
thors of all the foolish remarks current in
in the country. On one accasion a party
of Austrian hussars being in the city of
Cologne, a captain of the regiment strolled
into the Cathedral, where, falling into cou-
versation with one‘ ofthe officiating clergy
--a canon of the cathedral, he put. to him
the following query :—
“What is the difference between a priest
and tr doiik ey 1” The clergyman, unwil-
ling to commit himself by any verbal an-
swer, merely shrugged up his shoulders
in a. negative manner.
“Ali! ha 1” exclaimed the captain, “I
knew you couldn’t tell; it is this: the don-
key wears the cross on his shoulder by na-
ture and tbeipriest by profession.”
The canon, faintly applauding the joke,
asked in return “the difference between an
Austrian oflicer of liussars and a donkey 1”
After considering a few minutes, the cap-
tain declared his inability to tell, and the
priest replied: . _
“Nor can I, for I can perceiyc no dif-
-ference whatever!”
