She had passed the last years of her life, not in wealth, it is true, but by the aid of the noble Richter and her son, in a condition above want.

A poor t*oy, aged about ten years, entered the warehouse of the rich merchant, Samuel Richter in Dantzic, and asked the book keeper for alms. " You will get nothing here," grumbled the man without raising his head from his bOok ; " be off." Weeping bilte'ly the boy glided towards the door, at the moment that lierr Richter entered.

" What is the matter here ?" ho asked, turning to the book keeper. After the dealh of his beloved mother there was not a friend left to Gotleih in the world, except his benefactor* Out of love for him he became an active, zealous merchant. He began by applying the superfluity of his allowance, which he could now dispose of at his pleasure, to a trade in Hamburg quills. When by care and prudcnce he had gained over a hundred dollars, it happened that he found in his native village a donsiderable quantity of hemp and flax, which was very good, and still to be had at a reasonable price. He asked hi* foster-father to advance him two hundred dollars which the latter did with great readiness. And the business prospered so well, that in the third year of clerkship, Gotlicb had already acquired the sum of five hundred dollars. Without giving up his trade in flnx, he now trafficked also in linen goods, and the two combined, made him in a couple of years, about a thousand dollars richer For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally the forms of our governments : For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."

In the meantime, Herr Richter glanced towards tho boy, and remarked that, when close to the door, he picked something up from the ground. " Ha! my litilo lad, wha*. is that you picked up V he cried.— The weeping boy turned, and sho'ved him a needle. "Trustyou, Mr. Van Vogler—that J will, to the amount ol'a thousand dollars, if you wish. I hope you did not suppose I was afraid to trust you, sir," said the merchant, growing very complaisant.

A JACK OFTLE TRADES. A druggist in this city last week advertised for a clerk, and among other applications, was that of a tall, awkward looking fellow, apparently twenty-five years of age, coarsely dregged, without stockings, and with skin as rough as that of the rhinoceros. After slnring awhile at the splendid buttles, and other things that attracted his notice, he broke out. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries, to complete the work of drath, desolation, and tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled ill the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. the other. " And what do vou do with it ?" asked DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. " My jacket has holes in it," was the answer, " I will sew up the big ones." Hcrr Ilichler was pleased with this reply, and still more with the boy's innocent, handsome face.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Kor Scott, the brave anil true, Who never yet lias lout the fight, Nor will he lose it now ! When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one ppople to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cau. ses which impel them to the separation. "Are you the druggcr of these 'ere establishment ?" " Ah, my dear sir," replied ihe boy, " I do nol know how, and I am loo little yet to thresh, or fell wood. My fatherdied three weeks ago,«ond my mother and little brothers have raten nothing these two days. Then I ran out in anguish, and begged for alms. Hut alas! a single peasant only gave me a piece of bread ; since then I huve not eaten unorsel." He has constrained our fellow-citizens taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against tlieii country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves b\ their hands. This happened during the customary five years of clerkship. At the and of this period, Gotlieb continued to serve his -brnefuctor five years moro with industry, skill,and fidelity, then he took the place of the book keeper, who died about this time, and three years afterwards ho was taken by Herr Richter as a partner into his business, with a third part of tho profits."

THE GREY MARE IN THE GARRET He has cxcitcd domestic insurrections among us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of nil ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, we havo petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms : our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.— A prince whoso character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be ruler over a free people.

We hold, these truths to be self evident: that all men are creatcd equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among theso are life, liberty, and the pursuit ot happiness. That to secure those rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation upon such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to tliem shall seefn most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictato that governments longe«- tablished should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and, accordingly all, experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while events are sufferible, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same objpet, evinces a design to reduce them wider absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now the necessity which com trains them to alter their former systems of governmcnt. The history of the present King of Great Britain, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct objret, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let bo facts submitted to a candid world. It i« quite customary for beggar* by trade to contrive tales like this, and this hardens many a heart against the claims of genuine want. But this lime the merchant trusted the -boy's honest face. He thrust his hand into his pocket, and drew forth a piece of money, and said : In the portal of the ancient church at Reculver, dedicated to the blessed St. Mary, hung, many centuries ago, a picture, the portruit of a certain Dame Mary Maycote and her two children, to whom this singular story is related. The picture was covered by a curtain which sho worked with her own hands. Her husband, Sir Cavalierro Maycote, was, in the year of graco 1140, a rich burgomostor of the flourishing city of Canterbury, though be resided latterly in the fair town of Reculver, living ot the sign of the Paroquet, in the Market placc. Duiing his lifetime a fearful plugue desolated the south-west quarter of Kent, and among others he fell sick ; though his wife, Mury, who also fell sick of the pest,never recovered, but, to all appearance, died. A ller the usual period had elapsed, she was buried iti the vaults of the church at Reculver, dedicated to the blessed Suint Mary. She was bnried as the custom then was, with her jewelled rings on her fingers, and most of !ier rioh ornaments on Iter person. These tempted the cupidity of the sexton of the church. He argued with himself that they were of no use to the corpse, and he determined to possess them. Accordingly, he proceeded in the dead of the night, to the vault where she lay interred, and commenced the work of sacrilegous spoliation. He first unscrewed the coffin lid, he then removed it altogether, and proceeded to tear away the shroud which interposed between him and his prey. But what was his horror to perceive the corpse clasp her hands together, and finally to sit crect in the coffin. He was rooted to the earth. The corpse made a move as though it would step from its narrow bed. He fled, shrieking, through the vaults. The corpse followed, its long white shroud floating liko a meteor in the dim light of the lamp, which, in his haste, he had forgotton. It was not until he" had reached his own door that he had sufficient courage to look behind him; and then, when he perceived no trace of hispuvuer, the excitement which had sustained him so far, subsided, and he sank senseless to the earth. But it was not God's will that this pleasant partnership should be of long duration. An insidious disease cast Herr Uichter upon a bed of sickness, and kC-pt him for two years confined to his couch. All that love and gratitude could suggest, Gotleib did to repay his benefactor's kindness. Redoubling his exertions he became the soul of the whole business, and still he watched long nights, At the old man's bedside, with his grieving wife, until in the sixty-fifth year of his life, Ilerr Richter closed his life in death.

Before his decease, he placed »he band of his only daughter, a sweet girl of two and twenty years, in that of his beloved foster-son. He had long looked upon them as hij children. They understood him ; they loved each other, and in silence, yet afieciionately and earnestly they solemnized their betrothal at the bedside ol their dying father. " Who knows I" replied Herr Richter. And as he spoke he behold the boy returning, running with a large loot of black bread iu one baud, and some money in the other.

You don't know till you try. Now, what'll yop wagor 1 can,t tell what's in that are round botilo there in the window V In the year 1828, ten years after Ilerr Richter's death, the house of Gotleib Bern, lato Samuel Richter, wus one ol the most respectable in all Dantzic. It owned three large ships, employed in navigatiog the Baltic and North Seas, and the care of Providence seenr.cd especially te watch over the interests of their worthy owner; for worthy he remained in his prosperity. He honored his mother in-law like a son, and cherished her declining years with the tenderest affection, until, in her two and seventieth year, she died in his arms. I'm not in the habit of betting," said the druggist, " but J doubt very much whether you can tell." The lad cut off* a slice in great haste, aud was about to bile upon it. But suddenly bethought himself, laid the bread aside,'and folding his hands, rehearsed a silent prayer. Then ho fell to his meal w ith a hearly appetite. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of_Ainerica, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies aro, and of right ought to be, free and independent States ; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved, and that as free and independent State, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish comfierce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a fiim reliance on the protection of Divint) Providence, we mulually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our saered honor. JOHN HANCOCK.

The merchant was moved at the unaffected piety. lie inquired after his family home, and learned from his simple narrative that his father had lived in a village, about four miles from Dantzic, where he owned a small house and farm. But bis house had been burned to the ground, a»d much sickness in the family had compelled him to sell his farm. He had then hired himself out to a rich neighbor, but before three weeks were at an end, he died, broken down by glief and excessive toil. And now his mother, w hom sorrow had thrown upon a bed of sickness, was with her four young children, suffering the bitterest poverty. He—the oldest— had resolved to seek for assistance, and gone at first, from village to village, then had struck ii to the high road, and, at last, having begged everywhere in vain, had com* to Dantzio. As his own marriage proved childless he took the eldest son of each of his two remaining brothers, now substantial farmers, into his own house, and destined them to be his heirs. And in order to conform them in their humility, ho often showed the needle which had proved such a source of blessing to him, and bequeathed as a perpetual legacy to the oldest son in the family.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unlesa suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of a representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. " You think I had, ha?"said (he fellow with a mortified look. He then stood musing for a while, drumming on the counter, when all ol a sudden, seeming to have caught a new idea, he burst out, "By jinfo!

In the meantime, Sir Cavalierro Maycole, who had slept scarcely a minute since the death of his dear departed wife, was surprised by the voice of his old man servant, who rapped loudly at his chambor door, and bade him awake and come forth, for that his mistress had risen from the dead, and was then at the gate of the court yard.

Away back in the state of New York lived a Dutch farmer, well to do in the world, who always kept by him n thousand dollar bill. With this bill in his pocket, and a shabby coat on his back, he prided himself in playing tricks with strangers, particularly with such oounlry merchants as had recently commenced business in the neighborhood, and were unacquainted with his pecuniary circumstances. As an instance of this kind, he went to a new merchant, with his clothes all in rags, his toes sticking out through his shoes, his hat without a crown, and his beard a fortnight old, and ordered a few dollars worth of goods. The merchant stared at him, but as there could be no great hazard in laying out the articles for him, none of which were'to be cut, he executed the command. When the goods were ready, the merchant stared still more to hear his scurvey-looking customer ask him to charge them. " Charge them 1" exclaimed the man of merchandize ; " ha ! ha ! ha ! we're not in the habit of charging our goods toevery body. We keep a sharp look out for breakers." The merchant's heart was touched.— He had but one child, and the boy appeared to him as a draft at sight, which Providence had drawn upon him as a test ot his gratitude. " Listen my son !" he began, " have you then really a wish to learn ?" DRIVING OFF THE FOG. Hurrah! Hurrah' Hurrah !

Well," ho said, " if you arc good and honest, and industrious, I will take care of you. You shall learn, have meat, and drink and clothing, and in time, earn something besides. Then you can support your mother and brothers also." The boy's eyes flashed with joy. But in a moment he cast them to the ground again, and said sadly, " My mother all this while has nothing to eat." At this instant, as tf sent by Providenoe, an Inhabitant of the boy's native village entered Herr Ritcher's store. Thif man confirmed the lad's story, and willingly to carry the mother tidings of her son Gotleib, and food, and a small turn of money from the merchant. At the same time Herr Richter directed his bookkeeper to write a letter to the pastor of the village, 'commending the widow to his care, with an additional sum enclosed for the poor family, and promising further assistance.Trot, trot, suddenly reaovuded high over liig head—trot, trot, trot, "What's (hat ?" asked he of Jacob He has endeavored to prevent Che population of these States ; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage their emigration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of land.
