Tanc—" Carbieb Dove." There's a name that falls on the palriel's ear,
Wherever his steps may roam. As sweet'as the sound that the exiles hear
When they come to their long left home; Thouglithe daring and cunning and treacherous rise,
The sceptre of Oflice to sway, '\'ct tho golden days of the great and wise
RIec fresh at the name of our CLAY.
Fair commerce that flies on the wings of the gales.
And plows azure ocean all o'er. Long riding ot anchor wilh dcd, flapping sails.
Scarce daring lo move from the shore; Her streamers let fly and her canvass unfurled.
And gallantly moved from the hay. And waDodher treasures all over the world,
When first the Whigs shoaled for CLAY.
The loom aivl the spindio were silent and still.
The anvil and lathe under key, The waterfall idly rushed on by the mill.
And mUcd with the waves ofthe sea; But the lathe set to work and the imvil to ring,
Aud the loom and the spindle to play, And the waters began on the buckets to spring.
Quick as Ihought at the mention of CLAY.
The Mechanic sat gloomy, and sighed that his skill
Lay idle withont its reward, And the Merchant scarce opened his moneyless till,
For the times were so rugged and hard; But lo I the Mechanic rolled up his white sleeves.
And set every muscle to play. And the Merchant turned over his ledger's full leaves
With joy at Ihe mention ol CLAY.
The Farmer, disheaitcaed, turned over his soil,
And scattered his,seed with a tear,  ' Fpr he know a small pittance was oil that his toil
Must have for its wages a year; Bul up sprang the farmer, as gay as a lord,
And toiled wilh delight all the day, For he found that brown labor would  get its re¬ ward,
Encouraged and fostered by CLAY,
The Shoemaker £at and looked over the past,
And saw how the present went wrong, Anil declared he " would never put leather to last,
Or drive pegs again for a song ;" But he caught up his apron lo cover bis lap,
And cut, stitched and pegged all the day, And  the hammer and  lap-s(one went clap, clap, clap,
As soon as they shouted for CLAY.
The North and the South and the East and  the West,
Seemed all, in their ruins, lo lie. Though some had their millions to sell to the rest,
The rest hail no money lo buy ; But ihcy sprang up elated and purchased and sold,
Nor feared they a moment for pay. For thoy knew Ihcre'd be plenty of silver and gold.
When mailers wero maiiaged by CLAY.
The Trader sat lolling and talked with his clerk.
And wished every day it was through. He had not the heart to go gaily to work.
Because he had nothing to do; But lol in an instant they thronged to his shop.
And kept him in motion all day; i As soon as they heard that the Wliigs had got up.
To open the White House for CLAY.
The Laborer sal and he mused with his wife;
For gloom brooded over his track, He could not get money enough for hia life,
To get a new coat for bis back; But sunshine broke forth snd he labored with glee
And piled up his cash every day. And bough la new suit to go over and tee
The inauguration of CLAY.
Tho Tailor sat musing, nor-cared he a shad
If the coal were made snugly or loose, For the times had gone lately so dreory and sad,
(.4nd here he called Martin a goose,) And he kicked o'er his goose, and, he leaped with delight, ' . ,   '
.And he slowed his old cabbage away, And he cut, sewed and stitched it from morning till night,
When he hearj.the whigs shoutings for CLAY.
The locos wcre'laughing ihat times vyent so bad,.
From the hill top and valley and shore, Foi e'en though the poor were not rich as a lord,
They knew Ihat the rich would be poor; But when the Whigs Bhouled they started in flocks.
And caine near to fainting away. For they knew 'twould lie fatal to Martin the fox.
But glory and triumph to CLA Y.

It is said to be the first ever discover¬ ed in this coiiniiy, and, it is already ascertained, contains a suSiciency of that article to supply Iho whole United Stales.

B*o for LOAFERS.—The proprietors ofthe differ¬ ent hotels and bar-rooms in Mobile have resolved to abolish tho gratuitious lunch tystem. This detcr- min'ation, it appears, 'has been induced by the great number of loafers who infest Ihe taverns and get their entire living ot tlie snock-lobles. The Daily Advertiser says that no less than three bundled per¬ sons have been -Bupporled in this way at only three establishment in that city.
"Come, Henry,""said Blanche Armour to her brbtiier; whip hati seemed tinusually silfent and' thoughtful since tea tithe, "T want you "to read while I make this cap
for ma."
"Excuse me, Blanche, if you please, I don't feel like reading to-night," the broth¬ er rephed, shading his face both froni the light and tlie. penetrating glance of his sister, as he spoke.
Blanche did not repeat the request, for itwasahabit with her never to urge her brother, or indeed, any one, to do a thing for which he seemed disinclined. She, therefore, took her work-basket and sat down by the centre-table, without saying anything-farther, and commenced sewing. But she did not seam (juite easyjfor it was too apparent that Henry was: disturbed about something. For several days he had seemed more than usually reserved and thoughtful. Now he was gloomy-as well as thoughtful. Of cou'rse, there was a cause for this. And as tills cause was hidden from Blanche, she could not but -feel troubled. Several times during the evening she attempted to draw him out into conversation, but he would reply to her in monosyllables, and then fall back into his state of silent abstraction of mind. Once or twice he got up and walked across the floor, and then again resumed his seat, as if he'had compelled himself to sit down by a strong effort of the will. Thus the time passed away, until the usual hour of retiring for the night came, when Blanche put up her work, and rising from her chair by the centre table, went to Henry, and stooping down over him, as he lay half reclined upon the sofa, kissed him tender¬ ly, and murmured an affectionate " good night."
" Good night, dear," he returned, with¬ out rising, or adding another word..
Blanche lingered a moment, and then, with a repressed sigh, left the room, and retired to her chamber. She could not understand her brother's strange mood. For him to be troubled and silent, was altogether new. And the cause 1 Why should ho conceal it from her, toward whom, till now, he had never withheld anything that gave him cither pleasure or pain.
The moment Blanche retired, the whole manner of Henry Armour changed.   Ho got up frora tlie sofa, and  commenced walking the floor with rapid steps, while the deep lines upon his forehead, and his strongly compressed lips showed him to be laboring under some powerful mental excitement.   He continued to walk tlius hurriedly backward and forward for tho space of half an hour, when, as if some long debated point had. been at last de¬ cided, he grasped the parlor door with a firm hand, threw it open; took from the rack his hat, cloak and cane, and in a few moments was in the street. - The jar of the street door, as it closed, was distinctly heard by Blanche, and this caused the troubled feeling which had op¬ pressed her all the evening, to change into one of anxiety.   'Where could Henry be gqingat this late hotir?   He rarely stayed out beyond ten o'clock:-andshe hadnever before known him to leave the house after the usual bed time of the family.    His ¦going out had, of course, something to do with his unhappy mood.   What could it mean I   She could not suspect him ofany wrong.   She knew him to be too pure minded and hojiorable.    But there was mystery connected with his conduct—and this troubled her.   Sho had just laid aside a book, that she had; taken up for the pur¬ pose of readinga few pages before retiring for the night, and commenced disrobing herself, when the sound ofthe door closing after her broUier startled her, and caused her to pause and think.   She could not retire, for to sleep would be impossible. She, therefore, drew a shawl about her, and again resumed her book,-determined to sit up till Henry's return.   B ut Tittle that she read made a very distinct impression on her mind.   Her thoughts were With her brother," whom she tenderly loved, andhad learned to confide in as one of pure senti¬ ments and tine principles.
While Henry Armour still lingeerd at home in moody indsclsion of mind, a small party of young men'were assembled in an upperroom ofa celebrated refectory, drinking, smoking and indulging in con-, versation, a large portion of which would have shocked a modest' ear. They were all members of wealthy and respectahle families. Some had passed their majority and others still lingered between nineteen and twenty-one, that dangerous age for a young man—especially, if he be so un^ fortunate as to havo little to do, and a liberal supply of pocket money,
"Confound the fellow! What keeps him 80 longV one of the company said, lookitig at his watch,, " It's nearly ten o'clock, and he has not yet made his apr pearance,"
"Whom  do you  mean''     Armour I" I asked another. ' "Certainly I do.   He promised to join us again to-night!" '
"So he did!   But I'll bet a pewter six¬ pence he won't come." "Whyl"
"His sister won't let him. Don't you know that he ik tied to her apron string almost every night, the silly fellow. Why don't lie be a man, and enjoy- life as it goe.sl"
"Sure enough! What is life worth, if its pleasures are all to be sacrificed for a sisterl" returned the other sneeringly.
"Here! Pass that bottle of Champagne,'' interrupted one of the company. "Let Harry Armour break his engagement for a sister if he likes. That needn't mar our enjoyment. There are enough of us here for a regular Jerry.''
."Heire's a: toast." cried another, as he lifletj a sparkling gla-ss to his lips—¦" Plea¬ sant dreains to the old folks 1"
"Good!   Good!   (jrood!" passed round
the tablp, about which the young revellers
iwete fathered, and each drained a glass to
the.weii-tinderstootl sentiment.    '
.In the mean time, young Armour had
left his home; havihgdeciijEdV^ti.l.^i after a long strugglerwith himselMft this g.iy cotftpany as he had agtreed It was, in fabt, a little clubj fofmeda sl time previous, the members bf which ¦once a week to eat,'drink,snioke', and cor¬ rupt eacti.dtherby'fidicaling those salutary motal;"riisti'aints ' whichy once Isiid - Eiside, leave the- thbOghtlesS.ybtjth'^' in immiiient danger of ruin. " \r'."-- ¦';;¦:-¦¦ >-¦:'-¦ ¦-'' Henry'Armbur had been blessed wifh-a sister a year or two oldehth'aiiliimself, who loved hirn-tenderly. ' The'more rapid de¬ velopment of her rnind, as well as body, hail given her the appearance of maturity that enabled her to e.i£ercise a strong in¬ fluence ptrer him. . Ofthe dangers that te"- set the path of a young, man she knew.lit- tle drnothing,' The coiistdnt effort which she made to render-home agreeable to her brother by consitlting his tastes, and en- teriiig into every thing that seemed to give him pleasure, did not, therefore' gpring'from a wish'to guard him frpm the world's-allureraerits; it was the sponta¬ neous result of a pure fraternal-affection. But it had Uie right effect. To him, there was no place likehpnie ; nor any smile so alluring, or voice so sweet, as his. sister's. And abroad, no company possessed a per¬ fect charm, unless Blanche was one of its members.
This continued until Henry gained his twenty-second year, when, as a law stu¬ dent, hefotind himself tlirown more  and more into the company of young men of his own age, ami the same standing in so¬ ciety.   An occasional ride out with one and another of these, on which occasion an hour at least was always spent in a public house, opened to him new scenes in life, and for a young man of lively, buoyant mind, not altogether unattractive. That there was danger in these paths he did not attempt to disguise from himself. More than one, or two, or three, whom he met on almost every visit he made, to a fashionable resort for young men, about five miles from the city, showed to strong indications of having passed beyond the bounds of self-control, as well in their use of wines, and stronger drinks, as in their conduct, which was too free from those external decent restraints that we look for even in men who make no pretension to virtue.   But he did not fear for himself. Tho exhibitions which these made of them¬ selves instinctively disgusted him.    Still he did not perceive that he was less and less shocked atsomo Ihings he beheld, and more than at first inclineil to laugh at fol¬ lies which verged too nearly upon mora' delinquencies.
Gradually his circle of acquaintance with young men of the gay class extend¬ ed, and a freer participation with them in many of their pleasures came as a natural consequence.
"Come," said one of them to him, as tho two met in (he street, by accident, one evening, " I want you to go with nie."
"But why should I go with youl   Or, rather, where are you going V asked Ar¬ mour. "To meet some of our.friends down at
C 's," replied the young man.
"What are you  going to do therel" farther inquireil Armour. " Nothing more than to drink a glass of
wine, andhave some pleasant chit-chat	
So come along." "Will Ibe welcome V " Certainly you will. I'll guarantee that. Some half dozen of us have formed a little club, and each member has the privilege of inviting any one he pleases. To-night I invite you, and on the next evening I ex¬ pect to see you present, not as a guest, bill as a member. So come along, and see bow you like us."
Armour had no definite object in view. He had walked out. because he felt rather listless at home, Blanche having retired with a sick headache. It required, there¬ fore, no persuasion to induce him to yield
to the friend's invitation. Arrived atC 's,
afashionable house of refVeshnient, the two young men passed up stairs and entered one of the private apartments of the house, which they found handsomely furnished and brilliantly lighted. In this, gathered around a circle, or rather oblong table, were five or si-t young men, nearly all of them well known to Armour, On the table were bottles of wine and glasses-r-the lat¬ ter filled.
"Just in time!" cried the president of the club. " Henry Armour, I bid you wel¬ come ! Here''s a place waiting for you," pimping his hg.ni} upon g. chair by his side as he spoke. " And now," as Arnjour seatr ed himself, " let me fill your glass. We were waiting for a sentiment to find its way out of some brain as you came in, and our brimming glasses had stood unlasted for more than a minute. Can't you- help us to a toast!"
"Here's to good fellowship!" said Ar¬ mour, promptly lifting his glass, and touch¬ ing it to that ofthe president. -   " To be drunk standing," added the presi¬ dent.
All rose on the instant, and drank with mock solemity to the sentiment of their guest.
Then followeq brillianl flashes of wit, or what was thought to be wit. To these suc¬ ceeded the song, the jest,.the story—and to those again the sparkling wine oup.— Gaily thus passed the hours, until midnight stole quietly lippn the thoughtless revel¬ lers. Surprised, pn reference to his watch to find that it was one o'clock, Armour arose and begged to be excused,
"I move that our guest be excused on one condition," said the friend who had brought him to the company, i'4nd that is, on his promise to meet with us again, on this evening next week."
" What do you think qf the condition 1" asked the president, who; like nearly all the rest, was rather the worse for the wine he had taken, looking at Armour as"'he spoke.
"I agree to it, with pleasure," was the prompt reply.
"Another drink before yoti go, then," said the president, " and I will give the toast. Fill up your glasses," . The bottle again passed round the table. "Here's to a good fellow!"-was the senti¬ ment announced. It was received stand¬ ing. Armour then retired with bewildered senses. The gay scene that had floated before his eyes, and in which-himself had been an actor, and.tUe freedoiii with whicli
involuntarily, entered into, and'^ecjaTiiejt citizen of that wotlJ. Long afler he had' reached his lipme,^ and retired to his bed,, did his imagination revelamid- tlie scenes h"e.hadjust-iell..; In sleep, too, fancy was busy. -.B'uthere came a change.

'     ]. ' "  -'. ',
The sober morning found him in a so¬ berer mood. Calm, cold, unimpassioned reflection came, AVIi^t had he been doing! What path had he enteired; and whither did it lead 1; .These -were, qiiestions that would intrude themselves, and clamor for an answer.' He shut his eyes aiid endeav-. cured agaiti to'sleep. .^Waking thoughts wel'e worse than the airy terrors'that had visited him in sleep. • At-length he arose, with duU pains inhis head, and'an oppres,- sive sltiggishness of the whole body.-:— But more "painful than his o^ya reflection's, or the jphysical consequences of the last night's irregularity, was the tliought of meeting Blaiiche, and bearing the glarice of her innocent eyes. -He fell that be had been among the impure,—and worse, that he had enjoyed their impure sentiinents, and indulged with them in excess of wine. The taint was upon him, and the pure mind of his sister must instinctively per ceive it. These thoughts made him wretch¬ ed. He really dreaded to meet her. But this could not be avoided.
"You do not look nLcIl, brother," Blanche said, alniost as sooiiPas she saw him.
"I am not Well," he replied, avoiding her steady look. '.'My hcati aches;; and I feel dull and heavy."    '
"Whathascaused it, brothcrl" the afieo- tionato girl asked, with a look and voice of idal concern.
Now, this was, of all others, the question that Henry was least prepared to answer. He could not utter a direct falsehood.— From that his firm principles shrunk. Nor could he equivocate, for he considered equivocation little better than a direct false¬ hood. " Why should I wish to conceal any part of my conduct from hcrl" he asked himself, in his dilemma. But the answer was instant and conclusive. His participa¬ tion in the revelry of the last night was a thing not to be whispered in her car- Not being prepared, then, to tell the truth, and shrinking from falsehood and equivocation Armour porfcrred silence as the least evil ofthe three. The question of Blanche v,-as not, therefore, answered. At the break¬ fast table, his father and mother remarked upon his appearance. To this he merely replied that he was not well. As soon as the meal was over, he wont out, glad to escape tho eye of Blanche, which, it seem¬ ed to hiin, rested searcliingly upon him all the while. .^
A 'H-'alk of half an hourin the fresh morn¬ ing air dispelled the dull pain in his head, and restored his whole system to a more healthy tone.   This drove away, to some extent, the oppressive feeling of self-con¬ demnation he had indulged.    The scenes of  tho   previous  evening,   though, silly enough for sensible young men to engage in, seemed less objectionable than they had appeared to him on his first review of them.   To laugh, involuntarily, at several remembered jests and stories, the points of which were not exactly the most chaste or reverential, marked the change that a short period had produced in his state of mind.   During that day he did not fall in with any of his wild companions ofthe last evening, too many of whom had al¬ ready fairly entered the road to ruin. The evening was spent at home, in tho society of Blanche,   He read, while she sowed; or he turned forherthe leaves of her music book, or accompanied her upon the flute, while she played him a favorite air upon the piano. Conversation upon books, music society and other topics of interest filled up the time not occupied in these mental recreations, arid added zest, variety and unflagging interest to the gently passing hours.   On the next evening they attended a concert, and on the next a party.   On that succeeding, Henry went out to see a friend ofa different character from any of those w'ith whom he had passed the hours a few nights previous—a friend about his own age, of fixed habits and principles, who, Uke himself, was pfepavlng for.the bar.   With him he spent a more rational evening than with the others; and what was better, no sting was left behind.
Still, .)*ung Armour could never think of the "club" without having his mind thrown intoatumult.   It awoke.into activ¬ ity opposing principles,   Good and evil camein contact, and battled for suprema; cy.   There was in his mind a clear con- Viotion, that to Inilulge iu  dissipation ol that character would be injurious both to physical ami moral health.   And yet, hav¬ ing .tasted of the delusive sweets, he was tempted to further indulgence.   Mee'ting with some two or three of the "rnembers" during the week, and listening to their ex¬ travagant praise of the  "cltib," and the pleasure of uniting in unrestrained social interoourse itiade warm hy generous wine, teiided to make more active the contest going on within. - For the good principles that had been stored up in his minii were npt to.he easily silenced.   Their hold up^ on his character was deep.   They had en¬ tered into its warp and woof, and were, not to be era4|bate4, or sijehced, in a mpment, .^.s the time for the next meeting'ofthe club approached, this battle grew more vi¬ olent.   The condition into which it had brought him by. the arrival of the night on which.he had promiscti again to join his gay friends, the reader has already seen. He w£is still unable to decide his course of action.   Inclination prompted him to go Good principles opposod,   '"But then I have passed my word that I would go, and my word must.bc inviulate." Here reason came in to tho aid of his inclinatipn.s, and made in their tfevor a strong preponder¬ ance.
We have seen that, yet undecided, ho lihgered at home, but iu a stale of mind strangely different from any in which Ills sister had ever seen him. Still' debating the question, he lay half reclined upon
pbrajmagb,'.ai^rs,ftaliei^^ , But np,4,ecisibri,pf ttie,'',qu^^ been riWe,'andthc'|i,v'ith'dra'.yan^^^ o.nly;took off', an ,'e'xtqr'iial restraiiii "i'rp.hV hisfeelings.- He. tjiiietly arqsy.VanU.c^^^^^^ raehced pacing the floor.' This lis" ciiji'^lff'- ued.for some time.   At last the .'decision wjisinade.   '
, '.'.I have passed my word, and that ends it," he said and instantly loft the house.—• Without permitting himself to review the matteragain, although a-voice withinaskcd loudly to be heard, he walked hastily iti the.direction of the club-room. In'ten minuies.he gained the door, opened it without pausing, and stood in the midst of wild company within. His entrance.was greeted by shouts of welcome, aind the t06istj 'Here's to a gopd fellow!' with which he ha'd.parted from them, was repeated on his return, all standingas it was drunk.
To this followed a sentiment that cannot be repeated here. It was too grossly ob¬ scene. All drank to it but Armour.' He could not, for it involved a foul slander upon the other sex, and he had.a sister whose pure kiss was yet warm upon his lips. The individual who proposed the toast, marked this omission, and pointed It out by saying,
"What's the matter, Harry 1 Is not the wine good V-
The color rnounted to the young man's face as he replied, wilh a forced smile, " 'i'^es, much bettor than the sontimiMit." "What ails tho sentimentl" asked the propounder of it, in a tone of affected sur¬ prise.
" 1 have a sister," was the brief, firm re¬ ply of Armour.
"So Charley, here, wasjiist saying,"re¬ torted the other, with a merry laugh, " and what is more, that he'd bet a sixpence you were tied to her apron .string and would not be here to night! -ila! ha!"' .- :
Tlie effect of this upon the mind of Ar¬ mour was decisive; He loved, nay, almost revered that sister. Site had been like an angel of innocence about his path from early life. Ho knew her to be as pure as the mountain snow flake. Arid yet, that sister's itifluciice over hiin was sneeied at by otic who had just uttered a foul-mouthed slander upon her whole sex. The scales fell instantly from his eyes. He saw the dangerous ground upon which he stood; while the character of his associates ap¬ peared in a new light. They were on a road that he did not wish to travel. There wore serpents concealed amid the flowers that sprung along their patli. and he shud¬ dered as he thought of their poisonous fangs. Quick as -a flash of light these things passed through liis mind, and caused him to act with instant resolution. Rising from the chair he had already taken, he retired, without a word, from the rooi-n. A sneering laugh followed him, but ho either heard it not, or gave it no heed.
The book which Blanche resumed after she had heard her brother go out, soon ceased to interest her. She was too much troubled about him to be able to fix her mind on anything else. His singulariy disturbed state, arid the fact of his having left the house at that late hour, caus¬ ed her to feel groat uneasiness. This was beginning to e.xcite her imagination, and to cause her to fancy many reasons for his strange conduct, none of which were cal¬ culated in any degree to allay the anxiety' sho felt. Anxiety was fast verging upon serious alarm, when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching the house. She listened breathlessly. Sure it ivas the sound of HenryVfooisteps! Yes! Yes! It was indeed her brother, Tho tears gushed from her eyes, as .she hoard him enter be¬ low and pass up to his chamber, lie was safe from .harm, and for this her heart lift¬ ed up in fervent thankfulness! How near he had been to falling that pure-minded maiden never knew; nor how it had been her image, and the remembrance of her parting kiss, that had saved him in the mo- meul of his greatest danger. Happy he who is blest with such a sister! And hap¬ pier still, if her innooene be suffered to overshadow him in the hours of tempta¬ tion !—The Columbia Magazine.

TWELVE REASONS FOE, PAYING
YOUR. DEBTS.
The Christian's Reasons.
1. The Christian member of society pays his debts, first, because he is ordered to do so in the Bible, where we are told to " Ren¬ der unto Ctesar the things that are Cicsar's, and to God the things that are God's," and to " Owe no man anything."
.2. The Christian hears the Eighth Com¬ mandment every Sunday, "Thou shall not steal," and defrauding a man of his due is stealing; for the tradesman lendsupon faith and honor, and does not give.
3. The Christian pays regularly all he owes, because he is a friend to justice and mercy; he wishes both to love and succor his neighbor, and will not have the ruin of others on his consoieiioe.
The Patriot's Reasons.
4. The patriot knows thatono act of jus¬ tice is worth si.x of charity—that justice helpsthe worthy and corrects the unworthy, while charity too often succors but the latter.
6. The patriot considers the evils that on.sue from the move wealthy man leaving his poorer neighbor unpaid; that by that means thesteps of the great ladder of soci. ety are broken; the first ruin beginning with tho merchant, who can no longer pay his workmen, and continuing to the work¬ man's child, who is deprived of clothes, food, or instruction ; or to the aged father and mother, left to die on thebed of straw.
6. The patriot pays his debts from a love qf his country ; knowing that the neglect of so doingbrings on Chartism, and ahatred of the upper ranks,
7. The patriot also pays, because the system of lion-payment, pursued tu a cer¬ tain e.xteut, would tring a general bank¬ ruptcy on the nation. The Man ofthe World's Reasons for Paying
his Debts.
8. The man of the world pays, bocau'so he is convinced that honesty is the best policy.
9. The man of the world pays, because 1 he knows that curses will go withhis name,
(C?" A Georgia Cuincral advertises that he repairs boots, shoes and brogaus as usual—that he is not restricted with regard lo currency, as salt pork, corn meal, live chickens and hominy are all recognised by him as a '• legal tenilci."
(C/-A recent moJern philosopher—one who has evidenlly Ihought deeidy upon tho subject—says thai it is ralhcr foolish to see two young ladies hating each other on account of a gentleman who docs not care a fig fbr either of Ihcm.
I^" A man a few days since said lo his neigh¬ bor thai he had a dream the night before. "Ah," .Eaid the neighbor, " what was it ]" " I ilreamcd that I had been drinking pretty freely of New Eng¬ land Kum, and had fallen into the ditch; and when 1 awoke I found it was true."
O^ There is a great deal of trulli in the follow¬ ing remarks from the Uatskill Record : Show us, says that paper, Iho man who is continually com¬ plaining for the waul of trade, and at the same lime is wondering how Ihc dickens such and such places have so great run of custom, wc will show you one who is too penurious to spare ten or fifteen dollars a [ year for advertising, '
(1^ Flaliron square was all in commotion on Monday. A heavy forgerj- had been committeed a few days previous, and it was just developing.— Investigation soon brought it out, and several of the most reputable and industrious of our worthy mechanics were implicated and proof at hand of their guilt.'

The exercises of the' evening .will be varied and inle-esting, consisLing of tjialpgues, humorous and sLntimenlal and in¬ structive pieces in deelauiatiun, t^c.
.The loCHlitm of this ti^tilution, is one of the raosi healthy portions ul Lancaster county, and in the niiddtfd' an inlctligeiu and moral community, and its convcnicney of access, renders il highly eligible for parents and guardians, wTsIiing to place their sor.s or wards froth homo lo bo edu¬ cated.
The course oT inslrucliim is the same as is u?u- ally pur.sncd in Jn.iiiiutiuri.H of Ibc kind, including all the branches of &11 F.iiglisli and Alalbenml- ical education, iogclhtrv/itli llic Aiicicnland Mo¬ dern languages.

It aims at imparling Iu Ihc student, clear ctmecptions of Ihc mailer conlaincd in his Icxl- bouk, not merely rrquiring tiini b) repeat by rote the hngnune ol' bi.s author. The olijeet being lo make a ready and practical seholur; Ihc student Is carefully led Irom Iheory, lo observe -iU applica¬ tion to the inanirold purposes of life.
TlicTERVl.'s—inclusive of tuition in all the branches, boarding, washing, &,c. per Session of .5 monihs—.?50 00.
Contrary to the usual jiracticc of having a large number of students boarding and lodging in the same building, Ihiise attending this IiHlilution. will be acconiniodatcd wiib boarding, &c. in some of the inosl respectable families in Ibc place ; Ih' s securing greater nppuriuriiticsio the studious, and avoiding the inconveuiencc, and the loooficn per¬ nicious influence of having individuals of every variety of dispositions ayd mo.-al:;, so inliinalcly connected;
Every alienlion will he given to Uie accommo¬ dation of pupils, and every ell'ort made to render Iheii situation agreeable to themselves, and salis- factnry their parents or guardians.
The Summer Session of this Instilulion will commence on the fiiat Monday in May next-— Parents wishing lo place their'sons in thia,Acad- emy, should make early application to the sub¬ scribers.

TitACTS ON THE Tariff.—The Editor of the Tribune, at the suggesiinn of eomo of the fricnda of ProleclioB to Ilonie Industry, will prepare, as soon as possible, Iwo Tracla on the following sub¬ jects:
L The Tariff, as it is, and the Sudstit[;te PROPOSED BY the Locqfocos, being" a full slute- menl and cjcposition ofthe rales of duly fixed by the present Tariff, with the reasons for each item, showing why each duty was made higher or lower, and how it bears upnn tiie labor of ihe country; with the corresponding provision of the Tariff bill reported to (he Ilouao hy Gen. McKay, from the Commillee of Ways and Means, and v\hich Loco- focoism ia pledged to drive through the House at any rate, and the Senate, if possible. The Whig and Locofoco TurifFa will be contrasled section by .«cclion, and the nature and bearing of each provi¬ sion lucidly and calmly exhibited. The grand influence of ihc present Tariff on Labor, Prices, &c., will be fairly shown.   -
Ii. Protection AND Free Trade, or The Ta- tiff Question Fairly Slated; being an elementary exposition of the nature, ncccsRily, operation and cffeciaof a Tariff of Duties on Imports, with wise discriniina'ions in fiivor of our Home Industry.
No man in ihc cnuntry ly bclLcr ucquainled with ihrsc important stihjccis, in all their dclailff. than Mr. GuEEi-EY, and no man is more" abundantly able to treat them in a clear, forcible and impartial manner than he.
Kach of these Tracts will contain 16.large and cIo|cIy printed pngep, and be sold for $3 per hun¬ dred, or$15 per thousand. The fiTPt will he pub- liahcd wilhin a forrnight. . Wp hope our friends every where will order n full supply pf'lhesc tracts immediately, as it is all-important ihat the great Tariff questions should be well t^ndersluod by the people.

She was told thai if Dr. Sicayncs Compound Syrvp of Wild Cherry failed in the cure, my life was then hopeless.    Ductor Swayna's Syrup" was  then   procured, and  the  first   boltio gave relief, and   hy the time 1  had  comracnced the IiRh hoUlc, my cough had left me, and my sircngth   so much  improved, that  I waa able   to  take   ihc fresh air,  and in a short limc I entirely recovered my former health.
