Stops its play, and stills its song,
Not alone couiiiiits an -error,
But a _L,I'Ci|l. and ‘iiioial wrung.

Active life is no ilclcct;
Never, ll(:li'('l‘ break its spirit“-

Some years a;zo,:in emigrant ship landed
a large freight of lrisbmcn on Long Wliaif,
in the city of Boston. Among; the rest was
a I)l'i't\'8 Irish boy, yclepi Patrick Dean, who
was in quest of his fatlier—a gieiitleniaii who
had " come over,” some fourtceii long yo ars
previnii.-ly , and wlin,lcaviii;; beliiod him in
mild Il‘tIi.Ill(l, a wife-and child, (ii-.astei‘ Pat
and his inotbcr.) After some years of pa-
tient toil, the old man bctliougbt him it
would be as well to send for his family, now
that. he was tlli1:l.CI‘ of some acres of mother
(’al‘lI] in the west. But all ofa siidtleii, it oc.
curred to Mr. Dean that, just as l.kc as not
helizid no family, inasriiuch as he find no
distinct idea of hfitlltlg anythiiigabout them
for four or five years! He had kept up an
occasional rrmillance and hoped tliey were
all well, and inform them now and then lltttt‘
he lived in the illegant State of N. Yoik,:mr.l
all that prculiziran-‘lefinite brevity ofaiiiatnur
letter writers. But, as is generally the case,
the cond ' 5: letters only now and then
“went tliriiugh ;’ and finally failed to l'Pfl(‘Il
their destiiiziiion altogether —the poor wife
suffering for the lionesilv earned and free-
ly remitted little drafts” which fell into impi-
ous hands i'egular as clock work. Mr.
Dean finally’ made: another c-.fl"ort to open
a correspondence with his wife and child
which, proving of no account at all, he
gave it up, and went on his quiet way to
make a foitune. From a band cart, he
marched into red horse cart; from a horse
and cart to a grocery; from the gro-
cery to a farm; politics followed, and at
the end of the fouitcenth year of his resi-
dence in America, Bargy Dean had an Esq
to his name, and 3. seat upon the magistrated
bench ofthe town ofJ , not !1iI]l)DLIt(?(I
miles southwest of the flourishing city of
Buffiilo. But all this amounted to little,
child to help him enjoy his fine estate.
But Paddy Dean landed in Boston with
a bit of stick in one hand, and a good sized
bundle of wordly gear tied up in an exten-
sive bandanna in the other. Fifteen shillings
two pence iniiis pocket, :1 light hcart un-
dcr his vest, and a pair of clever brognns
under his feet, f-iith, Padtly, my boy, wzisjust
the boy to begin his tour in search of his
futber—-in rail good earnest.
Paddy knew it was New York—it was-—
liis father had last been heard of; and so
down he goes to the city to begin his exami-
nation and not till his last ha’portli vizis
gone, did Paddy Dean get a pig's uhispcr
of his worth prognitoi"s whi:reubouls—-
Then it wzfiipurely spcculativo—-an 'lrish
' friend informing him that l.e had «heard one
Philip Dunncgan spake of 22 Hugh Murphy
who had worked upon the 24th bet-tioii of
the Pennsvlvainia canuwl, under :1 Con-
nanglit man by the name of Dean; and so
by wantof better infoiniation, poor Paddy,
bundle in h:iiid,stnrted for Phillydclfy, work-
ing his passage along among the fariiicrs,
and in course of ten days I’add_v l't;‘El('I1t?t'I the
Quaker city,and then made tiacts for the
canal, where sure enough he.leai‘ned that a
Mr. Dean had bossecl it on a scctéon there,
about a year before, and in ii n‘.l‘:ltIiI(P_ like,
ian aw_ay'wid de funds, bt.twt=en two fine
days, leaving the poor Paddles in the ditch,
and they further consoled Paddy, by say-
ing the oull divil had turned up in Oliio
-—gettin,r,r outstone for a new peniteiitiai°_\'.
The iiiforinati- n was not exactly desirable
or comphnietary to Paddy Deuii's fatlicr;
but that did not alter the iclationship in the
lasie; and the fact ofthe“ould fully" having
bolted with the rocks, led poor Paddy to ful-
IO\V up the pursuit with renewed coiiliilrnce.
He found no difficulty to work his way along
west; and wlieii at last,poor Put reached
the pork State capital, he had the lllltfullullti
l0 find Mr. Dean was not Barney Dr:an-—-
the fatlicr of Patrick lDean—nor kitli or kin
of his-—zit all, at all!
" Oh, muihi-r, inuther," sighed poor Pad-
dy “ it’s all my trouble thrown to the divil,
‘and all fliy illcganl clliraiiies of use and
comfoit and a place to lay down my bundle
in peace at last,-—-gone \vid’un! i\"ItIrlltCrl

“ Divil burn ’cm then," respond ed Mr,
Dealt; “dorfit lcta tbrifliiig niistake like
that disturb ye! Be faix, it’s my ownidcur
futhi-i' I lost ore day, raily in the iiioriiin’;
and it's not a lilubbcr escaped me as thi-y

itimsfilf to some mighty fine stuff: as u‘i'dn‘t
be-long to liim—-d‘yc mind? Iloul ycr

me all of a sudden, be jabber: If£.'l0lU 3/our

Some weeks after this, Paddy found him-
self in the Crcsent City, sun burnt and red
as :1 wild ingiri; and by diligent in-rjiiiry, he
discovered the mnrcniitile establishineiit. as

Paddy iloiible Itl‘l’2l;‘l.t:(.I blues, and with all
liaste and convenience he made back for
New York, via Pitt-buigh, and oiiward up
thv Allegniiy river. In this tour, up the
AIIP,t_Yfll'l_t,', poor Paddy made many rus-

“Judge Not.”
Many years since, two pupils of the Uni-
versity at Warsiiw’ weie passing thiough the
strert in which stands the column of King
Sigismund, round whose pedestal may gener-
ally be seen seated at number of women sell-
ing fiuit, cakes, and a variety of eatablcs, to
the passers by. The young men paUSO(I to
look at zi firvurc whose oddity attracted their
attention. l‘his was a man apparently be-
tween fifty and sixty yr-ais of cge ; his coat,
once black, was worn threadbare ; his broad
but 0V:'t‘Sllllt.lUWt3(l a thin wrinkled face ; his
form was greatly emaciated, yet he walked
with a firm and rapid step. He stopped at
one of the stalls beneath the coluum, pur-
chased a half penny worth of bread, ate part
of it, put the remainder ‘into his pocket, and
pursued his way towards the palace of Gen-
eral Zainoiicxek, lieutenant of the kingdom,
who, in the absence of the Czar, Alexander,
exercised royal authority in Poland.
“ Do you know that man ?" asked one
student of the OtI‘i0I‘.
“ I do not, but jiidging by his lugnbrious
costume, and no less mournful countcnaricc,
I should guess him to be an undertaker.”
“ VVi‘oiig, my fiiend ; he is ‘Stanislas
Sta-zic.”
“ Stuszic '3” exclaimed the student, locking
after the man who was then entering the
palace. “ How can a mean, \VI'l"ICI'lt':.'CI-I(‘t0i\'-
ing man, who stops in the middle of the
street to buy a morscl of bread, be rich and
powerful?" ~
“Yet, so it is,” replied his companion.
“Under this unpromising exterior is hidilen
one of our most illustrious so:-ans of
Europe.”
'I‘l‘ie man, whose appearance contrasted so
stiongly with his social position, who was as
powerful as he seemed insignificant, as rich
as he appeared poor, owed all his fortune to
bimsclf—to his labors, and tohis genius.
Of low extraction, he left Poland, while
young, in order to acquire learning. He
puSS(~.‘-(I some‘ years in the Universities of
Lcipsic and Gottingen ; continued his
studies in the College of France, under
Ifirisson and D’Aubamon ; gained the friend-
ship of Buffon ; visited the Alps and the
Apperiines ; and, finally, returned to his
mitive land, stored with rich and varied
lcarning. -
He was speedily invited by a nobleman to
take Cllttrge of the education 0 his son.-—
Aftcrwards, the government wished to profit
by his talents; and Staszic, from grade to
grade, was-’iaisccl to the highest posts and the
greatest. dignitics. His economical habits
made him rich. Five hundred serfs culti-
vated his lands,and he possessed large s_ums
of money placed at inter:-st. When did any
man ever rise very far above the rank in
\\I1lL‘i1 he was liorn, without presenting a
mark for envy and detraction to aim their
arrows against E Mediocrity always avenge s
itself by caluniny; and so Staszic found it,
for the good folks of Warsaw were quite
ready to attribute all his actions to sinister
motives.
A group oficllcrs had paused close to
where the students were standing. All
looked at the ininister, and every one had
somctliing to say against him.
“ Who would ever think '1" cried a noble,
Wl10.'~Ie grey iiioust-aches and old-fashioned
costume recalled the era of King Sigisinund,
-‘ that he could be a minister of state?"
Formerly, when a Palatiii traversed the cap-
ital,a troop of horsemen both preceded and
followed him. But what respect can be felt
for an old miser, who has not the heart to
afl‘ord himself a coach, and who eats a piece
of bread in the streets, just as n beggar
would do '1”
"- His heart," said .1 priest, “is as hard as
the iron chest in which he keeps his gold.
A poor man might die ofhunger at his door,
beforc he would give him aims.”
“ Ile‘has worn the same coat for the last
ten years,” remarked another.
“ He sits on the ground for fear of
wearing out his chairs,” chimed in a saucy-
looking Ian, and every one joined in a mock-
ing laugh.
A young pupil of one of the public schools
had listened in indlgnant silence to these
speeches, which cut him to the heait; and
at length, unable to restrain" himself, he
turned towards the priest and said--—
“ A manflistinguished for his generosity
ought to be spoken of with more respect.
What. does it signify to us how he dresses. or
can fitaiiiifartures.
DOLLARS PER.‘ ANNUM.'.
:3
fortune ?” '.
“ And pray what use does he make of it?"
“ The Academy of Sciences wanted 8
place for a library, and had not funds to hire
pain ‘I Was it not Stxiszic '1”
‘~ !yes, because he is as greedy of
praise as of gold ” ‘ ‘
-‘ Poland esteems.as her chief glory, the
man who discovered the laws of the sidereal
movement. Who was it that raised to him
a monument worthy of his renown-calling
the chisel of Canova to honor the memory
of Copernicus 2" ‘ ‘ ‘
" It was Staszic,” replied the priest, “ and
so all Europe honors for it the generous
st-nator. But, my young friend, it is not
the light of the noon-day sun that ought to
illumne christian charity. If you want
really to know ii man, watch the daily
course of his private life. This ostentatious
miser, in the books which he publishes,
groans over the lot of the peasantry, and in
his vastdomains he employs five hundred
miserable serfs. Go some morning to his
liouse—’there you will find it poor woman
besccching with tears a cold proud man who
repulses her. Ttiat man is Staszic--that
woman hissister. Ought not the haughty
giver of palaces, the builder of pompous
statues, rather to employ himself in protect-
ing his oppressed seils, and relieving his
destitute relative?”
'l‘he young man began to reply, but no
one would listen to him.‘ Sad and dejected
at hearing one who had been to him a true
and generous fricnd, so spoken of, he went
to his humbie lodging. _
Nextmorniiig he repaired at an early
hour to the dwelling‘ ofhis benefactor. There
he met a woman weeping,and lamenting the
iiifiuinanity of her brother.
'l‘lii'.:confirniation of what the priest had
said, inspired the young man with a fixed
deli.-rmimition. It was Staszic who had
placed him at college, and supplied him with
the nieaiis of continuing there. W he
would rcjcct his gifts, he would not accept
benefits from a man who could look un-
moved at his own sistei"s tears. The learned
minister, seeing his f'avorite pupil enter, did
not desisffroiii his occupation, but, continu-
ing to write, said :0 him-—
“ Well, Adolphe, what can I do for you
to-day? If you want books, take them out
of niylibinry; or instruments, order them
and send me the bill. Speak to me freely,
and tell me if you want anything.”
“ On the contrziry,sir I cc-nieto thank you
for your past kindnr-ss,and to say that in fu-
ture I must decline receiving your gifts."
“ You are, then, become rich 3"
“ I am as poor as ever."
“ And yourcollege ?”
‘,‘ I muat leave it.”. i
‘- Impossible !" cried SMSZIC, standing up
and fixing his penetrating eyes on his visitor.-
" You are the most promising of all our pu-
pils——it must not be !”
In vain the young student tried to conceal
the motive of his conduct-Staszic insisted
on knowing it.
You wish,” said Adolphe, “to heap favor:
oln pic, at the expense of your suffering fain-
i v.
The powerful minister could not conceal-
bis emotion. His eyes filled with tears. and
be pressed the youog iiiaii’s hand vvarmly, as
he snid—
“ Dear lioy, always take heed to this court.
s:el—‘ Judge ‘no!/ting bqfore (lie Time.’ Ere
the end of life aiiii-es, the purest virtue may
he soiled by vice, and ilie bittere:-t caluinny
prove-.l to be Ul‘lf-.)Ul'IlI8(I. My conduct is , in
truth, an enigma, which I cannot now solve
——ii is the secret of my life.”
Seeing the young man still hesitate, be ad-
ded—
“ Keep an account of the money I give
_vcu—consi(ler it as a loan ; and when some
day, tlirougli labor and study, you find your-
self rich, pay thedcbt by educating a poor,
clcseiving student. As to me, wait for my
death be-fore youjudge my life.”
During: fifty years Stanislas Staszic allowed
malice to blackcn his actions. He knew the
time would come \VI’lPll all Poland would do
him justice.
On the 20th of January, 1826, thirty
thousand monrningi Poles flocked around his
bier, and sought to touch the poll, as though
it were some holy, precious relic,
The Russian army could not comprehend
the reasoii of the homage thus paid by the
pP0pIe of Warsaw to this illustrious man.
His last testament fully explained the reason
of his apparent avarice. His vast estates
were divided into five hundred portions, each
to become the property of a free peasant-
his former s-eif. A school, on an admirable
plan and very extended scale, was to be es-
mbli;-heil for theinstruction of the peasant’.-J
was provided for the succor of the sick and
aged. A small yr-aily tax,_to be paid by the
liberated sc-rfs, was destined for purchasing,
by degrees, the freedom of their neighbors
condemned as they had been. to hard and
thankless toil.
After having thus provided for his peasant,
Staszic bequeathed six hundred thousand
florins far founding a model hospital, and
he left a considerable sum toward educating
poor and studious youths. As for his sister,
she inherited only the same allowance
which he had given her, yearly, during
his life; for she was a person of careless, ex-
travagent habits, who dissipated foolishly all
the money she received. ‘
A strange fate was that of Stanislas Stas-
zic. A martyr to calumny during his life,
after death his memory was blessed and rever-
ed by the multitudes whom he had made
happy-
A minister approached a inischievoub ur-
chin about twelve yeais old and laying his
hand upon his shoulder, thusaddressed him :
“ My son I believe the devil has got hold
of you.”
“ I believe he has too,” was the significant
