The course of true love, it is said, did never yet run smooth; and those who have had experience on that turnpike of the affections, or rather rail¬ road, as it is soon run over, bear testimony to the jolts, '-running oft;"" and mashings up alive,ofivliich the poets speak. We have no great taste, in this time of politics and perple.Kities. to dabble in '-fancy stocks,"' and risk our reputation lor gravity; yet the illustration of an aphorism of admitted truth, may be considered seasonable, and Ihe moral de. dnced from the illustration may compensate some for the trouble of reading it. In the year 1811—we remember the time well, because a part of the incidents of the story were connected with a great event, an event not likely to be forgotten—well in the year ISl 1 a young man- who to a visionary mind, and a consequent want of employment, added a most desperate affec¬ tion for a young lady, quite too good for him, if business pursuits were alone considered, but just his match, if confiding affection, purity of mind, and innocence of purpose, are the reward of large endowments, strict integrity, and a desire for honest competence, without the means of obtaining it. Tlieve was no move pleasing young man in the village than Henry Bradford ; and every body agreed with his neighbors, that he was the most agreeable person, and the best educated about. But he did not study law, he despised medicine, and did not take to the church; he had frequently thought of "merchandise,"' but that required a capital, which he could not raise, and so he did not get ahead, though he was forever on the brink of some won¬ derful success, which he certainly would have se¬ cured, if he had only entered upon the enterprise. Mary Carver evidently loved Henry Bradford; lor knowing that, excepting his handsome person, pleasing manners, and good character, he had nothing to offer she would not otherwise have been deaf to the offers of so many young men. whose character and positions rendered them desirable to the family. These offers were repeated so often, and hints so strong were given to Mr. and .Mrs. Carver, that it was deemed proper after a serious deliberation in cabinet council, to admonish their daughter that Henry was in no business, and was not likely to be in a way to maintain a family. Mrs. Carver opened the diplomacy with the daughter, and, after two or three conferences, re¬ treated under the laugh of ^fary, who declared that she did not doubt that Henry would one day be rich enough to take cave of both, lor he had a dream that he should be. Mr^. Carver had no -iisposilion to laugh in such a serious mission, and no desire to be angry with her daughter. ¦ 3Iary, however, knew that when her father came to negotiate, she would have to use other arguments than laughter, and therefore she admonished Henry of the approaching storm. Henry thought of it TWO or three days, an unusual time lor him to de- vcite to any thing like his personal affiiirs. .\t length the family was honored by a formal ort^r from a clergyman in a neighboring town. He was learned, pious, rich, and respected, and such an offer was not to be slighted. It was not slighted. Old Mr. Carver took the subject to heart, and Mrs. Carver gave her sheer muslin cap a dottble clear starching upon the very idea of her becoming mother-in-law-to a minigter. Mary pondered these air out of any such materials. Henry came in with his usual pleasant humor, and sat down by Mary, and, afler a few words, he perceived that something wus wrong. '• Mary,'" said he, " have you been reading the Sorrows of Werter.'" " No, Henry, but I have been listening to moth¬ er's sorrows—her lamentations over you. She says—'• '• Never mind what she says, Mary, as I perceive it is not verv good; just listen to w^hatl have to tell. " Well, what is it, Henry ^ I hope it is good.'" " E.vcellent. capital.; it will be delight/ill.'' ¦' Do, then, tell rae what it is."' ¦' W^hy, last Sunday night, I dreamed that—'= " Dreamed!'' exclaimed Mary, with a most do¬ lorous sigh. •' Aye, dreamed.'' "- -Well, go on. ' I dreamed that I had drawn ten thousand dol¬ lars in the Plymouth Beach Lotteiy. •' Well, what then ?" '• Why. I dreamed the same on IModay night, and on Tuesday night, and the number was 5, 4, 3. 2. Well I sent right to Boston on Wednesday, and purchased the ticket, and here it is; you shall keep it Mary, and when I go up to Boston for the prize you shall go with me.'' Poor Mary smiled mournfully and reproachingly. Henry left the house, and went home satisfied that he had made a right disposition of the ticket. Day after day did Henry watch at the post office, to read the first report of the drawing; but day ! Holmes upon his shoulder, after day passed without the desired information. 1 " Henry,"' said the latter, " I am sorry to haVe At length one of the young men was heard to I l^at' »ews to tell you. Read that paragraph in the remark that Henry Bradford had shot out of the i Boston Centinel.'' Henry explained his motives and wishes, and in two hours he held in his hand a bill of sale of the brig Helvetius, which, as the papers were not ob¬ tained, he immediately renamed Mart. The con¬ dition was, that Henry was to hold the vessel for I forty (lays, and if, within that time, he should pay ten thousand dollars, she was to be his; if not, she was to revert to Mr. Holmes, who, in the mean time, held the ticket as a sort of collateral. The bill of sale as I saw it. bore date the 5th of Feb¬ ruary, 1815. Henry felt like a new man. He was ship owner in a place where that character was a sort of aristocracy. He went day after day to look at his brig, wishing for the time to pass away for the prize to be paid: but he said nothing yet to Mr. Carver. One evening, while Henry was talking with Mary, she asked him what he intended to do witli his vessel when the forty days were up? '• Rig her, bend her sails, and then sell her, or send her to sea," " Why Henry, it took the whole of the ticket to buy the hull and the standing spars, and it will take half as much more to rig her and find canvass ; and, beside that, how can j'ou sell her for more than Mr. Holmes could]' Henry hesitated : he had not thought of that : but he did not doubt^but it would all come right yet- Henry was sitting the next day on the quarter rail of his brig, looking at the masts, well covered with snow and ice, and thinking of the better ap¬ pearance she would make when the rigger had done his duty. At length he felt the hand of Mr. jiost office, as if he had received some strange in¬ telligence, •- ^Mury,"" said Henry. '• here is your father's pa¬ per, and look at the returns. No. 5, t, 3, 2,—tkii TlIOUSAXl) DOLLAIIS!" ^lary turned pale—the news was unexpected. " Let's go to Boston,'' said Henry.'' and get the money." •• The prizes are payable thirty days after draw¬ ing,'" said -Mary, looking at the bottom of the ticket. That night Mary told her mother of Henry's luck. Mrs. Caiver seemed rather startled. " Arc you not pleased, mother ?" asked JIary ; ¦'¦ do you wish to oppose further obstacles to our ;inion ?"' '• Mary,'' said Mrs. Carver, " do you not recollect the most uncompromising hostility which your lather has to lotteries—his utter abomination of money thus distributed '! This prize will be worse i.0 him than poverty. Ever since tliey refused to nake him a manager of the Plymouth Beach Lot- ¦;erv, he has set down the w-hole as gambling, -and '.¦very prize as the devil's gift for mischief; and, to aay the truth, most people begin to hold opinions with him." " Why. mother, every body did not ask to be made a manager in the lottery."' •' No, No; but people may, like your father, ar- rrive at correct conclusions from selfish considera¬ tions, and good opinions may become general with¬ out any special motive for the change." The next day Mary gave back to Henry his ticket, with an account of hei conversation with her mother. Henry was mortified at the result; he understood and appreciated the feelings ofthe "old folks,'' and, in any other person's case, he might have approved of it. '- But what does your father want i" said Henry. " Does he suppose that the mode adopted to build churches, endow schools, and finish public works, is too impure to supply the needy purse of one who wishes to be his son-in-law ? He is more nice than wise."' " My father," said Mary, " may not think him¬ self called upon to be as particular about what concerns the public charities, corporations, or in¬ different individuals, as he is, and is bound to be, in what concerns the respectability of his own family."' '¦ But if I acquire wealth by lawful means—'' " Henry, father never asked that you should be wealthy; he thought it proper, and he makes it a condition of our marriage, that you should have i some respectable business, since you have not wealth." " And your lather is right," said Henry," but how I am to get clear of the odium of my lotterj- prize, I can neither see nor guess."' " Perhaps you will dream it though,"" said Mary archly. '¦ 1 can dream of nothing but schooners, brigs and ships," said Henry. "Oh, if you only owned a good vessel," said Mary, " T do not know but father would almost I'orgive its coming as a prize." "A prize fo a privateer,'' said Henry, "bnt not in a lottery.'' Heniy wandered down toward the wharves and unoccupied ship yards. The war allowed of little or no work among the ship builders. The hull of the fine brig lay at the wharf. She had been launched a year, and there was none to purchase her. ?he was too clumsy for a privateer. "Mr. Holmes,"" .said Henry, "what is fhat ve.ssel woith ?"' " CoRRECTiox.—The ticket which drew the highest prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery was 4, 5, 3, 2, and not as our compositors stated last week, 5, 4, 3, 2. We understand that a gentleman of wealth in the southern part of this town is the fortunate holder.'' " What do you say to that, Henry ?" •¦Only that the old gentleman will not now say that I have the wages of gambling.'' '• No, nor will he give you credit of being a ship owner,"' said Mr. Holmes. " You have been unfor¬ tunate, Henry, and I am sorry for you," continued Mr. Holmes, changing his tone considerably; "find regret my own loss, as I have need of the money; but, as you cannot pay for the brig, you better hand me the bill of sale, and let us destroy it." Henry drew from his pocket the precious docu¬ ment, and while he examined it from top to bottom' he said : " This affair has been to me like a pleas¬ ant dream, not only on account of my aspirations for Mary, which you are acquainted with, but day after day I have felt a growing energy for business, a Bort of outstretching of the mind, a determina¬ tion, with such a noble beginning, to proceed cau¬ tiously but steadily to do what I ought to have begun years since. Then, Mr. Holmes, as the bill has yet some days to run before I can be chargea¬ ble with violation of contract, I will restore it to my pocket-book, and, if I cannot dream as T have done, I shall not, at least, be awakened too sud¬ denly." Mr. Holmes, of course, consented, as he really had no right to claim the vessel until the forty days should ha\e expired: and Henry went up to tell Mary of the new turn his luck had taken. Though Mary respected her father too much to feel pleasure in Henry's new possession, yet she loved Henry too much not to feel deeply grieved at his bitter disappointment. "That dream," said Henry, doubtingly—"that dream has not yet come to pass." Some days after that there was, as usual, a gath¬ ering at the post-office, at some distance from the ship-yard, awaiting the arrival of the mail. The stage, at the usual hour, drove up, and the driver said, as he handed the mailbag into the house, that he guessed there was better news to day than he had brought since the victory on the lakes. "Another victory, Mr. Woodward!" " No, not another victory, but Peace!" "Can you tell me,' said a dapper looking young gentleman, as he slipped from the stage, " where I can find Mr. Holmes, the owner of the brig Hel¬ vetius f' " Mr. Holmes lives on the hill yonder, was the reply, " but it is thought he does not own the Hel¬ vetius now." " Has not sold her ?" "Yes." " I am sorry for that—who is the owner V " Mr. Bradford—the young man whom you see reading the newspaper." The stranger stepped into the house, and inquired of Henry whether he would sell the brig. ¦ Henry said that he would cheerfully part with her. "At what priced' "At the peace price,' " Stage is ready,' said Mr. Woodward, the driver. "We will ride over to the village," said Henry. " and converse on the matter as we go along.' Henry soon emerged from the stage coach, and hastened to Mr. Carvei's. " You look cheerful,"' said Alary. " 1 have drawn another prize'"' "Not another, I hope!" "Yes, and a large one; I have sold the brig for She is worth twenty thousand dollars,"' said the { twenty thousand dollars to a Boston House, and I owner and builder; " she cost that as she is, and | am to be in Plymouth at four oclock, to get my she will bring twenty-five thousand the very hour ! pay at the Bank." peace is declared." I "But the brig was not yours, Henry. Surely '• Would you like the money for her at a cash j you are not deranged—you could not hold the brig . ^,, -After the mistake of the prize was corrected." "^"¦'Nothing would be more acceptable. But tliere are not fifteen thousand dollars in the county.' The remarks of Mary about her father's respect for a ship owner had been running in Henry's head j ever since they were uttered, and he beckoned ' aside the owner. 1 •• 3Iv. Holmes," said Henry, • I have a comnais- " There is just where you are mistaken, Maiy. There is a bill ot sale which allows of 40 days from date for the payment. Say nothing to any one," cried Henry, "and I \nU be with you before I sleep.'- "What's the matter with Henry?" said Mrs. Carver, as she entered the room; "has he drawn ai^ther prizer' " I guess not, mother,'" said Mary: "only dream¬ ing again, perhaps." At nine o'clock Henry arrived from Plymouth, with an accepted draught for ten thousand dollars, in favor of Mr. Holmes, and a bank book in which he had credit for an equal sum; and the brig Mary made some of the most profitable voyages that were ever projected in Boston. She was in the East India trade, and. as her return was noticed in the papers, (and it was usually announced about the same time that the very res¬ pectable family of Bradford had an increase.)— Henry was wont to exclaim, "luck is every thing." Some years after that, twenty-five at least, as I was riding into Plymouth, vvith Bradford and hi.s grand-daughter, I referred to the anecdote, and the conclusion, that " luck was every thing.' " There- may l)e something in luck, but the HOPE which I gathered while I held the ticket, with the belief that I had a prize, the resolutions which I formed while sitting and gazing at the lofty spars of my brig and the confiding virtue, the filial piety, and the perfect love of Mary did all for me, and I should have been rich without the brig; so, you see, it was Hope, contemplation, and wo¬ man's virtue, woman's piety, and woman's love, that made me what I am. And let me add, friend C, that you and I owe more to woman than the world credits to her. Let us, at least, do her justice," —, « » • »» - ¦ From the Pennsylvanian. Tiie Fourth of July in Old Berk§. W^e were an humble participant with the De¬ mocracy of Berks, in the joyous and significant festivities with which they hailed the last anniver¬ sary of Freedom's birth in this Western world. In a contest like the present, when Federalism is des¬ perate in the use of rash expedients, suggested by the abandonment of principle, it is good that we should go up to these Meccas of Democracy, and learn from the lips of the fathers of the party, how they stand aflected to the common cause; ho-w they have met the schemes of ambitious leaders; how they have treated the recreancy of the heretofore favored and great. To mingle with such men as the stern and sturdy republicans of Berks, is not only to learn wisdom from experience, but to gather new confidence in the cause, and to be prepared for all the devices of the foe. We found our political friends in Berks, in the highest hopes. The whole Democratic Une is in. motion. There is not a single dissentient in their massive ranks. Even those who ^vere originally attracted to Gen. Taylor, in the belief that he was a Democrat, have fallen into the victorious column, and are emulous to be foremost in the fight. The Staunch old republican fainily of the Muhlenbergs is as close under the Democratic flag as ever; so too, with the Schoeners, the Millers, and all those warriors whose white plumes have long waved, and are still waving, in the fore front of the republican legions. The Federal nomination of Taylor has fallen dead even in the ranks of Berks county Fed¬ eralism—\vhicli essays with vain and feeble valor to break into the .serried line.s of its Democratic victors. By the Democrats this nomination is re¬ garded as the evidence that Gen. Taylor, forgetful of his high fame, has surrounded himself with his own enemies, aud those -who have opposed and protracted the just war in which he earned his lame. The names of Cass and Butler have, on the contrary, aroused the spirits of the Democracy of this great old county, and attracted from the ranks of an unprincipled opposition, those who cannot violate all propriety by endorsing the nomination of Gen. Taylor to the exclusion of the long-tried champions of Whiggery. Having had occasion to see much of our political friends in Berks—to address them, twice at length in the absence of other expected speakers, during their festivities of Tuesday—to watch the effect of the arguments employed against the Whig.s— we say to our friends abroad, look out for a Chapul- tepec triumph in that county in November for Cass and Butler. We give no numbers; but do not be surprised if the majority is over five thousand. It will be such a blow to Federalism, that like the man knocked down by a huge-fisted foe, it will pick itselt" up from the dust of defeat, and ask, " If ihe lightning struck any body else.'"' « 9*» » ' Steamboat Totin§r> The practice of deciding the populaj-ity of a candidate by taking the vote on board the steam¬ boats and railroad cars is pretty well hit off in the following veritable story : After taking the vote of most of the passengers on board a steamboat, the tellers came to a party of German emigrants. '' Ave you for Cass or TaylorT' inquiredthe Dem¬ ocrat, addressing a little German. " Yaw, me dailor;' he said. The Democrat now asked the little German to sign his name to the candidate's list in whose favor he had declared himself- "Oh, nix—nix fershta—no, no write—nix. nix!" He had learned enough English to keep his sig¬ nature from papers which he could not read. " You say you are for Taylor ?" inquired the friend of the old General. " Yaw me dailor,' answered the Gennan. " Well, set him down as one, any how," aaid the former. " AJnt you for Cass, now'?" inquired the Demo¬ crat. " Yaw, me cash dailor;' answered the German. " Ain't you all for Cass?" further inquired the Democrat, making a sign encircling the whole deck load. " Yaw, all for cash.'' repeated the German. '' I know'd it," said the Democrat, and he instant¬ ly counted the party and added them to his list. Holding the scroll to the German"s face, he finally inquired— "All right, aim it?"' " Yaw, cash !" answered the German. It was not until the vote was decided in favor of Cass, that it was discovered the German was a tailoi; and meant to do work for ca.ih. Trials.—Christ was deserted a little before the glorious morning of light and joy dawned upon him. It was a little, a very little while, after his sad cry, before he triumphed gloriously; and so it may be with you ; heaviness may endure for a night, but joy and gladness may come in the morn- ing. Let God steer for you in the storm. He loves to be trusted. Bachelobs.—Dr. Johnson gives the philosophy of marriage in a few words ; "A married man," says he, " has many cares ; but a bachelor has no pleasures. Cutting himself off from life's purest and most exquisite enjoyments for fear of some tri¬ fling annoyance, he emulates the sagacity of the wiseacre who amputated his leg to secure himself from corns."' . „ ¦ ¦ < » » » » National Couutesy.—At noon on the Fourth of July, the Bremen vessels in the harbor of Balti¬ moro fired a salute in honor of the day.

"Why, then, do you talk so of him?" asked Mary. " But there he is coming now,'' continued the girl. " Speak to him l>lainly, my child,'' said Mrs. Carver.

The course of true love, it is said, did never yet run smooth; and those who have had experience on that turnpike of the affections, or rather rail¬ road, as it is soon run over, bear testimony to the jolts, '-running oft;"" and mashings up alive,ofivliich the poets speak. We have no great taste, in this time of politics and perple.Kities. to dabble in '-fancy stocks,"' and risk our reputation lor gravity; yet the illustration of an aphorism of admitted truth, may be considered seasonable, and Ihe moral de. dnced from the illustration may compensate some for the trouble of reading it. In the year 1811—we remember the time well, because a part of the incidents of the story were connected with a great event, an event not likely to be forgotten—well in the year ISl 1 a young man- who to a visionary mind, and a consequent want of employment, added a most desperate affec¬ tion for a young lady, quite too good for him, if business pursuits were alone considered, but just his match, if confiding affection, purity of mind, and innocence of purpose, are the reward of large endowments, strict integrity, and a desire for honest competence, without the means of obtaining it. Tlieve was no move pleasing young man in the village than Henry Bradford ; and every body agreed with his neighbors, that he was the most agreeable person, and the best educated about. But he did not study law, he despised medicine, and did not take to the church; he had frequently thought of "merchandise,"' but that required a capital, which he could not raise, and so he did not get ahead, though he was forever on the brink of some won¬ derful success, which he certainly would have se¬ cured, if he had only entered upon the enterprise. Mary Carver evidently loved Henry Bradford; lor knowing that, excepting his handsome person, pleasing manners, and good character, he had nothing to offer she would not otherwise have been deaf to the offers of so many young men. whose character and positions rendered them desirable to the family. These offers were repeated so often, and hints so strong were given to Mr. and .Mrs. Carver, that it was deemed proper after a serious deliberation in cabinet council, to admonish their daughter that Henry was in no business, and was not likely to be in a way to maintain a family. Mrs. Carver opened the diplomacy with the daughter, and, after two or three conferences, re¬ treated under the laugh of ^fary, who declared that she did not doubt that Henry would one day be rich enough to take cave of both, lor he had a dream that he should be. Mr^. Carver had no -iisposilion to laugh in such a serious mission, and no desire to be angry with her daughter. ¦ 3Iary, however, knew that when her father came to negotiate, she would have to use other arguments than laughter, and therefore she admonished Henry of the approaching storm. Henry thought of it TWO or three days, an unusual time lor him to de- vcite to any thing like his personal affiiirs. .\t length the family was honored by a formal ort^r from a clergyman in a neighboring town. He was learned, pious, rich, and respected, and such an offer was not to be slighted. It was not slighted. Old Mr. Carver took the subject to heart, and Mrs. Carver gave her sheer muslin cap a dottble clear starching upon the very idea of her becoming mother-in-law-to a minigter. Mary pondered these air out of any such materials. Henry came in with his usual pleasant humor, and sat down by Mary, and, afler a few words, he perceived that something wus wrong. '• Mary,'" said he, " have you been reading the Sorrows of Werter.'" " No, Henry, but I have been listening to moth¬ er's sorrows—her lamentations over you. She says—'• '• Never mind what she says, Mary, as I perceive it is not verv good; just listen to w^hatl have to tell. " Well, what is it, Henry ^ I hope it is good.'" " E.vcellent. capital.; it will be delight/ill.'' ¦' Do, then, tell rae what it is."' ¦' W^hy, last Sunday night, I dreamed that—'= " Dreamed!'' exclaimed Mary, with a most do¬ lorous sigh. •' Aye, dreamed.'' "- -Well, go on. ' I dreamed that I had drawn ten thousand dol¬ lars in the Plymouth Beach Lotteiy. •' Well, what then ?" '• Why. I dreamed the same on IModay night, and on Tuesday night, and the number was 5, 4, 3. 2. Well I sent right to Boston on Wednesday, and purchased the ticket, and here it is; you shall keep it Mary, and when I go up to Boston for the prize you shall go with me.'' Poor Mary smiled mournfully and reproachingly. Henry left the house, and went home satisfied that he had made a right disposition of the ticket. Day after day did Henry watch at the post office, to read the first report of the drawing; but day ! Holmes upon his shoulder, after day passed without the desired information. 1 " Henry,"' said the latter, " I am sorry to haVe At length one of the young men was heard to I l^at' »ews to tell you. Read that paragraph in the remark that Henry Bradford had shot out of the i Boston Centinel.'' Henry explained his motives and wishes, and in two hours he held in his hand a bill of sale of the brig Helvetius, which, as the papers were not ob¬ tained, he immediately renamed Mart. The con¬ dition was, that Henry was to hold the vessel for I forty (lays, and if, within that time, he should pay ten thousand dollars, she was to be his; if not, she was to revert to Mr. Holmes, who, in the mean time, held the ticket as a sort of collateral. The bill of sale as I saw it. bore date the 5th of Feb¬ ruary, 1815. Henry felt like a new man. He was ship owner in a place where that character was a sort of aristocracy. He went day after day to look at his brig, wishing for the time to pass away for the prize to be paid: but he said nothing yet to Mr. Carver. One evening, while Henry was talking with Mary, she asked him what he intended to do witli his vessel when the forty days were up? '• Rig her, bend her sails, and then sell her, or send her to sea," " Why Henry, it took the whole of the ticket to buy the hull and the standing spars, and it will take half as much more to rig her and find canvass ; and, beside that, how can j'ou sell her for more than Mr. Holmes could]' Henry hesitated : he had not thought of that : but he did not doubt^but it would all come right yet- Henry was sitting the next day on the quarter rail of his brig, looking at the masts, well covered with snow and ice, and thinking of the better ap¬ pearance she would make when the rigger had done his duty. At length he felt the hand of Mr. jiost office, as if he had received some strange in¬ telligence, •- ^Mury,"" said Henry. '• here is your father's pa¬ per, and look at the returns. No. 5, t, 3, 2,—tkii TlIOUSAXl) DOLLAIIS!" ^lary turned pale—the news was unexpected. " Let's go to Boston,'' said Henry.'' and get the money." •• The prizes are payable thirty days after draw¬ ing,'" said -Mary, looking at the bottom of the ticket. That night Mary told her mother of Henry's luck. Mrs. Caiver seemed rather startled. " Arc you not pleased, mother ?" asked JIary ; ¦'¦ do you wish to oppose further obstacles to our ;inion ?"' '• Mary,'' said Mrs. Carver, " do you not recollect the most uncompromising hostility which your lather has to lotteries—his utter abomination of money thus distributed '! This prize will be worse i.0 him than poverty. Ever since tliey refused to nake him a manager of the Plymouth Beach Lot- ¦;erv, he has set down the w-hole as gambling, -and '.¦very prize as the devil's gift for mischief; and, to aay the truth, most people begin to hold opinions with him." " Why. mother, every body did not ask to be made a manager in the lottery."' •' No, No; but people may, like your father, ar- rrive at correct conclusions from selfish considera¬ tions, and good opinions may become general with¬ out any special motive for the change." The next day Mary gave back to Henry his ticket, with an account of hei conversation with her mother. Henry was mortified at the result; he understood and appreciated the feelings ofthe "old folks,'' and, in any other person's case, he might have approved of it. '- But what does your father want i" said Henry. " Does he suppose that the mode adopted to build churches, endow schools, and finish public works, is too impure to supply the needy purse of one who wishes to be his son-in-law ? He is more nice than wise."' " My father," said Mary, " may not think him¬ self called upon to be as particular about what concerns the public charities, corporations, or in¬ different individuals, as he is, and is bound to be, in what concerns the respectability of his own family."' '¦ But if I acquire wealth by lawful means—'' " Henry, father never asked that you should be wealthy; he thought it proper, and he makes it a condition of our marriage, that you should have i some respectable business, since you have not wealth." " And your lather is right," said Henry," but how I am to get clear of the odium of my lotterj- prize, I can neither see nor guess."' " Perhaps you will dream it though,"" said Mary archly. '¦ 1 can dream of nothing but schooners, brigs and ships," said Henry. "Oh, if you only owned a good vessel," said Mary, " T do not know but father would almost I'orgive its coming as a prize." "A prize fo a privateer,'' said Henry, "bnt not in a lottery.'' Heniy wandered down toward the wharves and unoccupied ship yards. The war allowed of little or no work among the ship builders. The hull of the fine brig lay at the wharf. She had been launched a year, and there was none to purchase her. ?he was too clumsy for a privateer. "Mr. Holmes,"" .said Henry, "what is fhat ve.ssel woith ?"' " CoRRECTiox.—The ticket which drew the highest prize in the Plymouth Beach Lottery was 4, 5, 3, 2, and not as our compositors stated last week, 5, 4, 3, 2. We understand that a gentleman of wealth in the southern part of this town is the fortunate holder.'' " What do you say to that, Henry ?" •¦Only that the old gentleman will not now say that I have the wages of gambling.'' '• No, nor will he give you credit of being a ship owner,"' said Mr. Holmes. " You have been unfor¬ tunate, Henry, and I am sorry for you," continued Mr. Holmes, changing his tone considerably; "find regret my own loss, as I have need of the money; but, as you cannot pay for the brig, you better hand me the bill of sale, and let us destroy it." Henry drew from his pocket the precious docu¬ ment, and while he examined it from top to bottom' he said : " This affair has been to me like a pleas¬ ant dream, not only on account of my aspirations for Mary, which you are acquainted with, but day after day I have felt a growing energy for business, a Bort of outstretching of the mind, a determina¬ tion, with such a noble beginning, to proceed cau¬ tiously but steadily to do what I ought to have begun years since. Then, Mr. Holmes, as the bill has yet some days to run before I can be chargea¬ ble with violation of contract, I will restore it to my pocket-book, and, if I cannot dream as T have done, I shall not, at least, be awakened too sud¬ denly." Mr. Holmes, of course, consented, as he really had no right to claim the vessel until the forty days should ha\e expired: and Henry went up to tell Mary of the new turn his luck had taken. Though Mary respected her father too much to feel pleasure in Henry's new possession, yet she loved Henry too much not to feel deeply grieved at his bitter disappointment. "That dream," said Henry, doubtingly—"that dream has not yet come to pass." Some days after that there was, as usual, a gath¬ ering at the post-office, at some distance from the ship-yard, awaiting the arrival of the mail. The stage, at the usual hour, drove up, and the driver said, as he handed the mailbag into the house, that he guessed there was better news to day than he had brought since the victory on the lakes. "Another victory, Mr. Woodward!" " No, not another victory, but Peace!" "Can you tell me,' said a dapper looking young gentleman, as he slipped from the stage, " where I can find Mr. Holmes, the owner of the brig Hel¬ vetius f' " Mr. Holmes lives on the hill yonder, was the reply, " but it is thought he does not own the Hel¬ vetius now." " Has not sold her ?" "Yes." " I am sorry for that—who is the owner V " Mr. Bradford—the young man whom you see reading the newspaper." The stranger stepped into the house, and inquired of Henry whether he would sell the brig. ¦ Henry said that he would cheerfully part with her. "At what priced' "At the peace price,' " Stage is ready,' said Mr. Woodward, the driver. "We will ride over to the village," said Henry. " and converse on the matter as we go along.' Henry soon emerged from the stage coach, and hastened to Mr. Carvei's. " You look cheerful,"' said Alary. " 1 have drawn another prize'"' "Not another, I hope!" "Yes, and a large one; I have sold the brig for She is worth twenty thousand dollars,"' said the { twenty thousand dollars to a Boston House, and I owner and builder; " she cost that as she is, and | am to be in Plymouth at four oclock, to get my she will bring twenty-five thousand the very hour ! pay at the Bank." peace is declared." I "But the brig was not yours, Henry. Surely '• Would you like the money for her at a cash j you are not deranged—you could not hold the brig . ^,, -After the mistake of the prize was corrected." "^"¦'Nothing would be more acceptable. But tliere are not fifteen thousand dollars in the county.' The remarks of Mary about her father's respect for a ship owner had been running in Henry's head j ever since they were uttered, and he beckoned ' aside the owner. 1 •• 3Iv. Holmes," said Henry, • I have a comnais- " There is just where you are mistaken, Maiy. There is a bill ot sale which allows of 40 days from date for the payment. Say nothing to any one," cried Henry, "and I \nU be with you before I sleep.'- "What's the matter with Henry?" said Mrs. Carver, as she entered the room; "has he drawn ai^ther prizer' " I guess not, mother,'" said Mary: "only dream¬ ing again, perhaps." At nine o'clock Henry arrived from Plymouth, with an accepted draught for ten thousand dollars, in favor of Mr. Holmes, and a bank book in which he had credit for an equal sum; and the brig Mary made some of the most profitable voyages that were ever projected in Boston. She was in the East India trade, and. as her return was noticed in the papers, (and it was usually announced about the same time that the very res¬ pectable family of Bradford had an increase.)— Henry was wont to exclaim, "luck is every thing." Some years after that, twenty-five at least, as I was riding into Plymouth, vvith Bradford and hi.s grand-daughter, I referred to the anecdote, and the conclusion, that " luck was every thing.' " There- may l)e something in luck, but the HOPE which I gathered while I held the ticket, with the belief that I had a prize, the resolutions which I formed while sitting and gazing at the lofty spars of my brig and the confiding virtue, the filial piety, and the perfect love of Mary did all for me, and I should have been rich without the brig; so, you see, it was Hope, contemplation, and wo¬ man's virtue, woman's piety, and woman's love, that made me what I am. And let me add, friend C, that you and I owe more to woman than the world credits to her. Let us, at least, do her justice," —, « » • »» - ¦ From the Pennsylvanian. Tiie Fourth of July in Old Berk§. W^e were an humble participant with the De¬ mocracy of Berks, in the joyous and significant festivities with which they hailed the last anniver¬ sary of Freedom's birth in this Western world. In a contest like the present, when Federalism is des¬ perate in the use of rash expedients, suggested by the abandonment of principle, it is good that we should go up to these Meccas of Democracy, and learn from the lips of the fathers of the party, how they stand aflected to the common cause; ho-w they have met the schemes of ambitious leaders; how they have treated the recreancy of the heretofore favored and great. To mingle with such men as the stern and sturdy republicans of Berks, is not only to learn wisdom from experience, but to gather new confidence in the cause, and to be prepared for all the devices of the foe. We found our political friends in Berks, in the highest hopes. The whole Democratic Une is in. motion. There is not a single dissentient in their massive ranks. Even those who ^vere originally attracted to Gen. Taylor, in the belief that he was a Democrat, have fallen into the victorious column, and are emulous to be foremost in the fight. The Staunch old republican fainily of the Muhlenbergs is as close under the Democratic flag as ever; so too, with the Schoeners, the Millers, and all those warriors whose white plumes have long waved, and are still waving, in the fore front of the republican legions. The Federal nomination of Taylor has fallen dead even in the ranks of Berks county Fed¬ eralism—\vhicli essays with vain and feeble valor to break into the .serried line.s of its Democratic victors. By the Democrats this nomination is re¬ garded as the evidence that Gen. Taylor, forgetful of his high fame, has surrounded himself with his own enemies, aud those -who have opposed and protracted the just war in which he earned his lame. The names of Cass and Butler have, on the contrary, aroused the spirits of the Democracy of this great old county, and attracted from the ranks of an unprincipled opposition, those who cannot violate all propriety by endorsing the nomination of Gen. Taylor to the exclusion of the long-tried champions of Whiggery. Having had occasion to see much of our political friends in Berks—to address them, twice at length in the absence of other expected speakers, during their festivities of Tuesday—to watch the effect of the arguments employed against the Whig.s— we say to our friends abroad, look out for a Chapul- tepec triumph in that county in November for Cass and Butler. We give no numbers; but do not be surprised if the majority is over five thousand. It will be such a blow to Federalism, that like the man knocked down by a huge-fisted foe, it will pick itselt" up from the dust of defeat, and ask, " If ihe lightning struck any body else.'"' « 9*» » ' Steamboat Totin§r> The practice of deciding the populaj-ity of a candidate by taking the vote on board the steam¬ boats and railroad cars is pretty well hit off in the following veritable story : After taking the vote of most of the passengers on board a steamboat, the tellers came to a party of German emigrants. '' Ave you for Cass or TaylorT' inquiredthe Dem¬ ocrat, addressing a little German. " Yaw, me dailor;' he said. The Democrat now asked the little German to sign his name to the candidate's list in whose favor he had declared himself- "Oh, nix—nix fershta—no, no write—nix. nix!" He had learned enough English to keep his sig¬ nature from papers which he could not read. " You say you are for Taylor ?" inquired the friend of the old General. " Yaw me dailor,' answered the Gennan. " Well, set him down as one, any how," aaid the former. " AJnt you for Cass, now'?" inquired the Demo¬ crat. " Yaw, me cash dailor;' answered the German. " Ain't you all for Cass?" further inquired the Democrat, making a sign encircling the whole deck load. " Yaw, all for cash.'' repeated the German. '' I know'd it," said the Democrat, and he instant¬ ly counted the party and added them to his list. Holding the scroll to the German"s face, he finally inquired— "All right, aim it?"' " Yaw, cash !" answered the German. It was not until the vote was decided in favor of Cass, that it was discovered the German was a tailoi; and meant to do work for ca.ih. Trials.—Christ was deserted a little before the glorious morning of light and joy dawned upon him. It was a little, a very little while, after his sad cry, before he triumphed gloriously; and so it may be with you ; heaviness may endure for a night, but joy and gladness may come in the morn- ing. Let God steer for you in the storm. He loves to be trusted. Bachelobs.—Dr. Johnson gives the philosophy of marriage in a few words ; "A married man," says he, " has many cares ; but a bachelor has no pleasures. Cutting himself off from life's purest and most exquisite enjoyments for fear of some tri¬ fling annoyance, he emulates the sagacity of the wiseacre who amputated his leg to secure himself from corns."' . „ ¦ ¦ < » » » » National Couutesy.—At noon on the Fourth of July, the Bremen vessels in the harbor of Balti¬ moro fired a salute in honor of the day. The affair was happily conceived and handsomely executed. ADTERTISEME^'TS. LIST OP LETTERS remaining in the Post-Office at Lancaster, July 1, 1848.
