{)ir The following exquisite poem, is extracted l.oni the Dublin Nation. It will be read and re¬ read hy all who can appreciate the genuine Irish grief and fondness breathed in every Hue :
iVi^Iit ^VafcliiMar.
(iood night, good night, acushla inachrec. Dark is the night which is setting for inc. And my tears that are fulling so quietly
Will gufsh in a torrent soon. There is no one beside me l« cheer mc to-night— ?n'o one to tell me Go,:"a will is right ;
But 1 know 'tis a deadly .<iii lo fright
The .^oul whirb is going to Him. So I hold mv peace, .ind in munijurs low. Till none could guess 1 .nn grieving so ; To Jlim and his angels I tell my woe,
.\iid prav for the soul departing, fie uas iny all in the world below, Vo otlier friend did I seek or know, lUu 1 will not grudge him to Heaven now,
Since "tif. God's high will to take him.
Long, long the dark night seems to stay.
Yet inore 1 dread the morning gray,
Foi tlic weakening breath will have chill-d away
Ere its full rays brighten round him. tit will not bid me cease to moan ; M-, sorrow must now be all 1113' own,
Mv duikest grief I must bear alone,
.\stor machree, you're going. I -.Vill ^satcli no more with longing ear . Thr lall of your proud light foot to hear, Wlicn your quiet home you are drawing near ;
Oh !—dark 'twill be without you. i will thrill no more to your words so fond, Nor proudly think how a fairy's wand Coiiid never bring me a joy beyond
The bliss of being near you. 1 -.sill hold my head less lofty now, Vv'hen you are laid in the church-yard low— Too much 1 gloried long ago
In the happy lot God gave me.
>'o more for me is the laugh and song; But still as the darkening night comes on, rhe neighbors will see me creep along
To the cold ground where you're laying. And they'll tell the young how my heartbeat high \nd the flashing joy was in mine eye, And small thought of care or death had I,
W^hen first we two were plighted.

The following capital story appeared in Blark- „mil'.^ Magazine several years ago. Unlike many (.1(1 stories, il will be re-read with great interest:
The First and I^ast Dinner.
A TALK OF LIFE.
Twelve iriends, much about  the same age, and (ixed, by their  pursuits,  their family connexions, iuul other local interests, as permanent inhabitants ofthe metropolis, agreed, one day when they were drinking their wine at the Star and Garter at Rich¬ mond, to institute an  annual dinner among them¬ selves, under tbe following regulations: That they .should ditie alternately at each others houses on the first and last day of the year: that the first bottle \ff wine uncorked at the first dinner, should be re- jorked and put awaV; to be drank by him who jhoiild be the last of their number; that they should jever admit a new member, that when one died, leven were to meet, and so on; and that when only ine remained, he should on those two days, dine y himself, and sit the usual hours at his solitary ible. but the first time he so dined alone, lest it hould be the only one, he should then  uncork the rst bottle, and in the first glass, drink to the me" nory of all who were gone. There was something original and whimsical in le idea,and it was eagerly embraced.    They were II in the prime of life, closely attached by lecipro- il friendship, fond of social enjoyments, and looked Tward to their future meeting with unalloyed an- cipations of pleasure.    The only thought, indeed, lat could liave darkened those anticipations, was ne not like to intrude itself at this moment, that f the hapless wight who was destined to uncork he first glass at his lonely repast.
It was high summer when this frolic compact vas entered into; and as their pleasure yacht ikimmed along the dark bosom of the Thames, on their return to London, they talked of nothing but heir first and last feasts of ensuing years. Their maginations ran out with a thousand gay predic- ions of festive merriment. They wantoned in onjectures of what changes time would create.
"As for you, George,' exclaimed one of the welve, addressing his brother-in-law, "I expect I hall see you as dry, withered and shrunken as an •Id eel skin, your mere outside of a man!' and he accompanied the words with a hearty slap on the thoulder.
'1 George Fortescue was leaning carelessly over the iide of the yacht, laughing the loudest of any at the fconversation which had been carried on. The Sudden manual salutation of his brother-in-law threw him off his balance, and in a moment he was over- oard. They heard the heavy splash of his fall, efore they could be said to have seen him fall. I'he yacht was proceeding swiftly along; but it k'as instantly stopped.
i The utmost con.sternation now prevailed. It ivas nearly dark, but Fortescue was known to be fui excellent swimmer,, and startling as the accident was they felt certain he would regain the vessel, rhey could not see him. They listened. They beard the sound of his hands and feet. An answer Spas returned, but in a faint, gurgling voice, and the Exclamation "Oh God!" struck upon their ears In iui instant, two or three, who were expert swim- Jjners plunged into the river, and .swam towards the iDot whence the exclamation had proceeded.    One
Ijif them was within arm's length of Fortescue; he tov him; before he could be reached, he went down ^nd his distracted friend beheld the eddying circles of the wave just over the spot where he had sunk. He dived after him, and touched the bottom; but le tide must have drifted the body onward, for it nld not be found!
They proceeded to one of the nearest stations Vie drags where kept, and having procured the i'ssary apparatus, they proceeded to the fatal Alter rhe lapse of above an hour, they suc- !d in raising the lifeless body of their lost friend, he u^^ul\l remedies were employed for restoring s|n(Ied animation but iti vain; they now pur- j|tbe rctnainder of their course to London, in njnlul sileuco. with the corpse of him who had (^lenced tbe day of pleasure with them in the bis of health, of spirits, and of life! And in thisevere grief they could not but reflect how iO)ne of tEe joyous twelve had slipped out of Mile festive circle.
•months rolled on. and cold December caine will its cheering round of kindly greetings and mehospitalities; and with it came a softened
recollection of the fate of poor Fortescue; eleven ot the twelve assembled on the last day of the year, and it was impossible not to feel their loss as they sat down to dinner. The very irregularity of the table, five on one side and six on the other, forced the melancholy event upon their memory.
A decorous sigh or two, a low, becoming ejacu¬ lation, and an instructive observation upon the un¬ certainty of life, made up the sum of tender pos¬ thumous "ofTering to the manes of poor George Fortescue," as theyproceeded to discharge the more important duties for which they had met. By the time the third glass of champaigne had gone round, in addition to the potations of fine old hock, and "capital madeiru," they had ceased to discover any thing so very pathetic in the inequality of the two sides of the table, or so melancholy in their crippled number of eleven.
Several years had elapsed, and our eleven friends kept up their double anniversaries as they might aptly enough be called, with scarcely any percepti¬ ble change. But, alas! there came one dinner at last, which was darkened by a calamity they never expected to witness; for on that day, their Iriend, companion, brother, almost, was hanged! Yes^ Stephen Rowland, the wit, the oracle, the life of their circle^ had, on the morning of that day for¬ feited his life upon a public scaffold, for having made one single stroke of his pen in a wrong place. In other words, a bill of exchange which passed into his hands for jfi'/OO, pa.ssed out of'it for £1,700.
It would be injustice to the ten to say, that even wine, friendship and a merry season, could not dispel the gloom which pervaded this dinner. It was agreed before hand, that they should not allude to the distressing and melancholy theme; and having thus interdicted the only things which really occu¬ pied all their thoughts, the natural consequence was, that silent contemplation took the place of dismal discourse; and they separated long before midnight.
Some fifteen years had now glided away since the late of Rowland, and the ten remained; but the stealing hand of time had written sundry chan¬ ges in most legible characters. Raven locks had become grizzled, two or three heads had not as many locks altogether as may be reckoned in a walk of half a mile along the Regent's Canal—one was a-.:tiially covered with a brown wig, the crow's feet were visible in the corner of the eye—gootl old port and warm madeira carried it against hock, claret, and red burgundy, and champaigne, stews; hashes, and ragouts, grew into favor—crusts \\ere rarely called for to relish the cheese after dinner— conversation grevs' less boisterous, and it turned chiefly on politics and the state of the funds, or the value of landed property—apologies were made for coming in thick shoes and warm stockings— the doors and windows were most carefully pro¬ vided with list and sand bags—the fire more in re¬ quest—and a quiet game of whist filled up the hours that were -vv-ont to be devoted to drinking, singing, and riotous merriment. The rubbers, a cup of coffee, and at home by 11 o'clock, was the usual cry, when the fifth or sixth glass had gone round after the removal of the cloth. At parting, too^ there was a long ceremony in the hall, buttoning up great coats, tying on woolen comforters, fixing silk handkerchielis over the mouth and up to the ears, grasping sturdy walking canes to support un¬ steady feet.
Their fiftieth anniversary came, and death had indeed been busy.
Four little old men of withered appearance and decrepit walk, with cracked voices and dim, rayless eyes, sat down by the mercy of Heaven, (as they themselves tremulously declared,) to celebrate, for the fiftieth time, the first day of the year, to ob¬ serve the frolic compact which, half a century be¬ fore they h.id entered into at the Star and Garter at Richmond. Eight were in their graves! The four that remained stood upon its confines. Yet they chirped cheerily over their glass, though they could scarcely carry it to their lips, if more than half full; and cracked their jokes, though they articulated their words with difficulty and heard each other with still greater difficulty. They mumbled, they chattered, they laughed, if a sort of strange wheezing might be called a laugh; and when the wines sent their icy blood in warmer pulses through their veins, they talked of the past as if it were but yesterday that had slipped by them—and of the future as if it were a busy cen. tiiry that lay before them.
They were just the number for a quiet lubber of whist; and for three successive years they sat down to one. The fourth came, and then their rubber was played with an open dummy; a fifth, and whist was 110 longer practicable; two could play only at cribbage, and cribbage was the game. But it was little more than the mockery of play. Their palsied hands could hardly hold, or their fading sight distingiush the cards, while their torpid facul¬ ties made them doze each deal.
At length came the last dii ner; and the survi¬ vor of the twelve, upon whose head four score and ten winters had showered their snow, ate his soli¬ tary meal. It so chanced that it was in his house and at his table, they had celebrated the first. In his cellar too, had remained for eight and fifty years, the bottle they had uncorked, recorked, and which he was that day to uncorlc again. It stood beside him; with a feeble and reluctant grasp, he took the frail memorial of a j^oiithful vow, and for a moment memory was faithful to heprofllice. She threw open her long vista of buried years; and his heart travelled through them all. Their lu-sty and blithsome spring, their bright and fervid summer— their ripe and temperate antumn—their chill but not too frozen winter. He saw% as in a mirror, how one by one, the laughing companions of the merry hour, at Richmond, had dropped into eter¬ nity. He felt all the loneliness of his condition, (for he had eschewed marriage, and in the veins of no living creature ran a drop of blood w^hose source was in his own;) and as he drained a glass which he filled, "tothe memory of those who were gone," the tears slowly trickled down the deep furrows of his aged face.
He had thus fulfilled one part of his vow, and he prepared him.sclf to discharge the other, by sitting the usual number of hours at his desolate table. With a heavy heart he resigned himself to the gloom of his own thoughts—a lethargic sleep stole over him—his head fell upon his bosom—confused images crowded into his mind—he babbled by him¬ self—was silent—and when his servant entered the room, alarmed by a noise which heard, he found his master stretched upon the carpet at the foot of the easy chair, and out of which he had slipped in an apopletic fit He never spoke again, nor once opened his eyes, though the vital spark w^as not StiU extinct till the following day. And this was the last supper.
QcEEH.—" Reuben, you seem to gain flesh every day—the grocery business must agree with you.— What did you weigh last?" "Well, Simon, I really forget now, but it strikes me it was a pound of butter."'

The Art-Union is established for the purpose of extending a love for the fine arts throughout the United States, and to give encouragement to Ar¬ tists beyond that afforded by the patronage of indi¬ viduals. Its promoters believe that these arts can never attain their due rank in this country (already so far advanced in many of the other elements of civilization) until adequate encouragement be given to the highest efforts ofthe Painter and Sculptor.
For the accomplishment of this object, the Soci¬ ety has adopted the following PLAN : ||1. Each subscriber of Five   Dollars  becomes a member of the Art-Union for one year.
The money thus obtained is applied, first, to the procuring ofa large and costly Engraving, from an original American Picture, of which every member
receives a copy; and next, to the purchase of Pic¬ tures, Drawings, or other works of Art, with the funds distributed by lot among the members for that purpose.
Thus, for the sum of Five Dollars, every member is sure of receiving a fine Engraving (worth alone the amount of his subscription) and the chance of obtaining a fine original Painting, to be SELECTED BY HIMSELF from any public exhibition in the United States,
For further particulars call at the Painting Room ofthe undersigned, where can be seen a specimen of the engraving, and where subscriptions are re¬ ceived for the same. A, ARMSTRONG.

I>r. Franklin's Opinion of I^uck.
THE astonishing success of JOS. GORMELY, inthe CLOTHING BUSINEISS, excites the surprise of some and the envy and jealousy of others His unparalleled success some attribute to one cause, and some to another-. And some, more envious than the rest, attribute it to any cause that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust, or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there is another class more easily satisfied, and content themselves by saying—" Well, it is all luck—better to be born lucky than rich. Born under a lucky planet," &c, " Pshaw says Dr, Franklin, of luck, all the luck I know of is in proper management." Precisely so. Dr., and just the operating cause in the extensive business done at the great LANCAS¬ TER HALL OF FASHIONS. The only secret in this large business, and the only reason that it of large, is because ho is careful in the selection is good materials, and has all his goods weJi made— and then the fit of his garments cannot be surpassed; and are sold at prices that defy competition. This is the cause of his astonishing success at the great LANCASTER HALL OF FASHIONS, N. Queen St, Lancaster; next to J, Gish & Co.'s Book Store and the National House.       [May 9, '48.-tf-15,
