WASHINGTON. Few columns rose, when Rome was free, To mark her patriots' last repose; Wheu she out-lived her Liberty. The Emperors' mausoleums rose; Aud Trajan's shaft was rear'd at last, When Freedom from the Tiber passed! "Better than Trajan," lowly lies, By broad Potomac's silent shore,

Hallowing the green declivities, witii glory now and ever mote: Art to his fame no aid hath lent His coustby is his monument! SQUIRE JONES' DAUGHTER. Sweet is the gush of waterfalls, The melody of birds, The murmur of the mulct, Or leaves by zephyrs stirred; And sweet the sound of lute and voice, When borne across the water; But sweeter still than these, tho voice Of Squire Junta' daughter. Bright is the star whose mellow ray Can reach from heaven to earth; And bright the tin pan newly scoured, Placed on the blazing hearth. Bright is the sword with blood unstained, By blood in bloody slaughter; But blighter still the flashing eye .. Of Squire Jones' daughter. Red is the rosey posey's hue, That grows down in the hollers; And red is Uncle Nathan's barn, That cost a hundred dollars. 'And red is sister Sally's shawl, : That cousing Levi bought her, But redder still's the blooming cheek Of Squire Jones' daughter. Hot is the lava tide. that roll3 A down Yesuvus' mountain, And hot the tide that bubles out , From, Iceland's boiling fountain. And hot a boy's ears, boxed for doing That which he hadn't oughter, But hotter still the love I feel For Squire Jones' daughter. Rogers, in "The Herald of Freedom," savs: A man might as well be caught without his shadow, as without money. There was a story about a man's having sold his shadow to Satan, and every body fled from him as if he had the plague to see him moving about hi fair weather and no shadow accomany body.'

In order lo guard against premature interments there is attach ed to most ot the cemeteries in Germany a lall where the dead remain some time be fore beiiiii committed to the ground. In this hall, the body, neatly attired, is laid upon a couch before the lips is placed a mirror which the slightest breath would cloud, and between the finders a string, which, on the slightest movement, causes a bell in the department to ring. This hall is visited night and day hourly by vigilant inspectors, a nd it is stated, that not a year passes that the bell not rung by one or more ot the supposed corpses. Old Times --Rev. Mr. Fox, of Newburyport, man old pper written in loo, to a friend, gave a familiar sketch of the manners and habits of the good people of Boston, neara century ago. The lollowing is that part which describes the dress of a couple as they arranged for marriage: "To bemn with the lady: her long locks were strained upward over an immense cush ion that sat like an incubus on her head, and sprinkled over with a shower of white pow der. The height of this tower was some what over a foot. One single white rose-bud ay upon its summit like an eagle on a haytack. Over her neck and bosom was fol ded a lace handkerchief, fastened in front by a bosom pin rather larger than a dollar, con sisting of your grandfather s miniature set in virgin gold. Her airy form was braced up in a satin dress, the sleeves tight as the nat ural skin to the arm, with a waist formed by a bodice, worn outside, from whence the skirt flowed off, and was distended at the ancles by an ample hoop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, and heels of two or three inches elevation, enclosed her feet, and glittered with spangles, as her little pec'al members peeped curiously out. "Now for the swain. Your grandfather slept in an arm chiir the night before his wed ding, that the arrangement of hispencracium which had been under the hands of a barber the whole afternoon might not be disturbed II is hair was sleeked back, and plentifully beflowered, while his cue projected like the handle of a skillet. His coat was ol sky blue silk, lined with yellow; his long vest of whit satin, embroidered wnh gold lace : Ins breech es of the same material, and tied at the knee with pink ribbon. White silk stock inp-s and pumps, with cloaks and ties of the same hue, completed the habiliments of his neither limbs. Lace rufi'esclusteied around his wrists, isnd a portentous hill worked in correspondence, and bearing the minatureof ns beloved, finished his truly genteel appear ance. "Be contented as long as your mouth is full and jour body warm--remember the poor kiss the pretty girls don't rob your neighbor's hen roost never pick an editor's pocket, nor an idea that he is going to treat kick dull care to the deuce black your own boots, and pay for your newspapers.'

THE RELATION OF NEWSPAPERS TO

PRIVATE BUSINESS. This is an important par: of the business of a newspaper; because everybody expects a newspaper to notice this or that thing. Just so far as this is of interest to the readers of the paper, the conductor of a newspaper, will very gladly insert such notices. . But very many people ' think this ought to be done for their business. The truth on this subject is very well expressed in the N. Y. TribunCy'm a Dialogue Which we adopt as our own. " - . SexNE The Tribune office Tlic Publisher at his deslc.-j-Entcr a Stranger. Stranger. Good morning. Sir; i want you to step oiipr to the Novelty Works, up town, and see my new machine which is-desiined to supersede the steam Engine, and reduce the cost of motive power 75 per cent. Publisher. Do You calculate to make money by your machine? " Stran.- Why I shan't object to if ilcoines handy. ' Pub. Have you taken out a patent for it? Stran. Yes, Sir. :' " Pub- Very good, Sir. I will go or send a man in whom 1 can, confide; but I shall expect you lo 2ay for the time and sp:tce in our columns. Stran. Why, sir, I don't want you to say any thing but the truth about my article. Pub. You need not trouble yourself on ta head, my friend. We will take care of that. Stran. But what shall I pay for then? Pub. For the devotion of our lime and space to your especial pecuniary interests. Stran. But perhaps you will notice my invention so as to injure rather than benefit me. ; - ' ; Pub. You must take your chance of that, or tiecline it. xou do not buy our judge vicnt that we cannot sell, lint we publish a paper to live by it, for one object, and any space devoted to personal ends we except pay for. Siran. But do you never notice things without pay? Pub. Most certainly :Oflener so than any other way. But this when we choose to do it, whether for the public's sake or the inventor's. But when we do it by request, to advance somebody's interest, the case is al tered. Duke of Richmond, This Biiti: h nobleto have ul-tered tne-rtnrtrw,..a Horatio G. Gates, one of the most eminent men in the city of Montreal, was present and heard the declaration. The Duke, a short time prior to his death, speaking of the Gov ernment of the U. States, said: "It is weaki'incon3tenf, and bad and cannot long exist, it will be destroyed, it ought not, and will not be pettnitted to exist: for many and great are the evils that originated from the existence of that Government. The curse of the French Revolution, aud the subsequent wars and commotions in Europe, are to be attributed to its axample. So long as it exist, no Prince will be safe upon his throne. The soveringns of Europe are aware of this, and they have determined . upon its destruction. T'icy hate come to an understanding upon this subject, and have decided on the means to accomplish it. lhey xcill eventually succeed by subversion3rathcr than by conquest. "All the low and surplus population otttie different nations of Europe will be carried in to that country. It is, and will be, a recep tacle for the bad and disaffected population of Europe; when lhey are not wanted tor soldiers or to supply the navies aud the Eu ropean Governments will lavor such a course. This will create a surplus, and a majority ol low population, who are easily excited; and they will bring with them their principles, and in nine case out of ten, adhere to their ancient and former Governments, laws, manners, customs and religion and will transmit them to their posterity, and, in many cases, propagate them among the Natives. By the Constitution and the laws, thesemen will become citizens, and be invested with the right of suffrage. The different grades of society will then be created, by the elevation of Lie few and degrading the many, i hus a helerogeneous population win oe lurmeu, t-a-ing different languages otdiuerent religions and sentiments. To make them think, feel and act alike, in political aflairs, will be like mixing oil and water. Hence, discoid, dissection, anarchy and civil war will ensue, and some popular individual will assume the Government, and restore order, and the Sovere igns of Europe, the immigrants, and many ol the Natives will sustain him. I have conver sed with many of the Sovereigns of Europe, and they have unanimously' expressed these opinions relative to the United Slates, and their determination to subvert it. "Sam, do you know any songs?" "Yes, I know two." "What ate they, Sam?" "One's Old Iluudied, and t'other aint." ftr A man who loves his family will take n nou-cmnpr- nnrl a man wliO respects his family will always pay for it!!! It is proposed by a cerlain "obseiver of the times," to lave the laws printed cn India rubber paper so that they can be stretched a bit when a culprit is to be hauled over the coals. '

DEBTS OF TEXAS. The Charleston Mercury in an able article on this subject contends that if Congress can

assume the debts of Texas, it can assume the debts of all other Stales. ' It reasons as followes: !. "It is indeed alleged that there is a difference in the case of Texas that places it by itself in as much as she will pay for the assumption, of her debis by an equivalent in her public lands. This may be admitted, as a question of value, but it does not alter the case. The value of lands or anything else, is just what the buyer pleases logive for them. The power, to make a bargain implies the power to make a bad as well .as a good one, and the power to traffic with the Slates for their lands, implies the power lo traffic with them for all kinds of public property. The principal maintained on the ground of this alleged peculiarity in the cae of Texas, is that Congress cannot give a State money to pay her debts; but may assume .the debts under a bargain purporting to - offer an equivalent. Maryland and Pennsylvania for instance have no lands, but they have canals' and other works of internal improve ment. Congress will assume their debts, if these States wull surrender a portion or all of their public works to the General Government. The nature of the property can make no difference in the principle. - Whether it consist of lands lying in a state of nature, or in the midst of settlement and wealth in the shape of a great thoroughfare of trade; it must be property equally capable of bargain and transfer. - - To assume the debts of Texas in consideration of the lands of Texas appears to us to open broadly the door for the assumption of all the State debts, with the adaitional danger, that it may end in the U. S. becoming the proprietor of the great works of State internal improvements. For twenty years the strict constructionists ol the Constitution have been struggling aDO O gainst the General Government taking any part, in the internal improvements'- of the States; but here is a construction of its powers, which may give it the proprietorship of the most powerful of them.'' We extract the following beautiful passage from the Report of lion. Joirs Quincy Adajis, wben Chairman of the Committee on Manufactures in the House of Representatives in 1831-2: "ine energies ot the numan mind are incompressible. Long misapplied and wasted as they have been in establishing systems of sion, witti tenioiu eiasi.cuy, win uiey spring to the improvement ot ttieir own condition, when in the full enjoyment of their fa cilities and in tho possession ot peace : When populous and civilized nations aie engaged in war, the inventive genius of their people is chieily turned to the purposes and necessities of their condition, to the advancement of the warlike arts. When they are at peace, the labors and discoveries of the mind are applied to the cultivation of the arts of peace. The honest pride of every nation, and its ardor for self-imptovement, is stimulated by the example of every other. Every nation is impelled not only to avail herself of the genius of her own sous, but to adopt and to improve those of her neighbors, It is by their improvements in the mechanic arts and by their application to manufactures, that the modern nations of Europe surpass so far, those of the other quarters of the "lobe. . "It would be no exaggerated estimate to say that the very recent inventions of the steamboat and of the railway have opened the avenues of power tothe nations possessing them, which their neighbors could not permit them exclusively to enjoy, and retain, without sinking into a state of defenceless inferiority before them. The "steamboat is an invention of our own country; the railway is a corresponding achievement of European in- . ' . i i j . : Tenuity, wlncli we are eiiauteu to appiopuJ ' , .1 ; ate to our own uses, ana me unmunsny of the comment which we inhabit, and the still muliiplying millions of our posterity which lor long ages will continue to swarm upon its surface, and the Government under which we live, and the freedom of thought, and sneecli. and of action which we enjoy, seem as if adopted by the benihcent nana oi j Providence, all to each other lor the advancement of the welfare of human kind" ANECDOTE. A capital story is told of Forest the tra gedian and an eminent Judge. When lhey were both young and unknown to fume and each other, they met at an western Inn, and by chance bolh were put to sleep in me same room. Both retired in the daik each suepicious of the other. They slept pretty com fortable, so well indeed that they both refused to rise in the morning. They lay eyeing each other until noon, when Forest making a desperate effort, called out "Stranger, why don't you get up "What's that to you?" . "I have a particular reason for asking muttered Forest, and then plunging his head under the clothes. Presently the other raised his head and said -"I say, my friend, perhaps you will answer me,if 1 put the question to which I relused to reply, to yourself. "Well then," said Forest, rolling the clothes off slowly v and striking his heel upon the floor, "I have no shirt and did not want to expose my poverty.' "Oli!" said the other leaping with grey hound like bound into t he middleof the floor, "Why didn't you say so before, that is pre cisely the CASE W ITH ME.

Extract from a Inciter from an intelligent gm'.lcman in Philadelphia, Oct. 1.) In regird to the TaritTqueslion it appears clear to my mind that if the Whigs desire to gel control of the Government and country, : lhey should folu their arms, and, without the slightest resistance, permit the p: r y in power to cut down the duties on imports lo an average of twenty percent.; because such a tariff bill would strike a fatal blow at all the great interests of the people, no miner what may be their occupaiion; and in that event as in 18i0,there would be a great revolution in public sentiment, the result of which would be in favor tf Whig measures measures which wq all know revived within the last 3 years all branches of business. But if the Whigs desire to see the country prosperous aud happy, without reference to the succession, they should stand by the Tariff of IS 12 as long as their is a shot in tli'j locker. In rny humble opinion, the Mexican-Texas : question, the Oregon question, and all other

questions, whether foreign or dorneslic, sink into utter insignificance when compared to the tariff queslion, or whether the country shall continue prosperous or become almost bankrupt, as it was" in the Administration which preceded the election of Gen. Harrison. Living as I do by commerce, I, in common with nearly all the merchants that I associate with, stand up for the Tariff as it is; because it does not oppress any class, the average prices of all articleF, foreign or domesti:, being cheaper than ever known before. The truth is, the attack upon the. tariff by Messrs. Walker &. Co. is purely political, and if they succeed in it they will regret the consequences to the last day of , their lives, live they to the age of Methuselah". Philosophy on Matters and Things in General. Dick Daker, a New Orleans philosopher, one bright evening look his seat on one of the pleasant benches in QLafayette Square, nd according to the Picayune thus soliloquised: . " "I'll be hanged." said Dick, "if this aint a beautiful world, after all; but like the dandyj dicky, it aint what it seems 'lis all collar and bosom but when a feller comes to examine it, the material part is wanting it aint got no body and sleeves. Now, Fd be as willin' to enjoy myself a3 any feller in existence, but, cus; - it, the world won't give me a fair, shake for it aint it too bad!. I bTieve with Joe Jowell, that the world owes every one a livin I swear she owes it to me, and I'm blamed if she shall take the benefit of the banktupt law, either 'cause she's got assets enough to meet all her engagements, fi "t.i nnuld imlv mal-p n fn ir dicti i!)i:tion rf I say again, let her make a fair surrender of all she's got, and I am wiliin' to sign her acertificate, and give her a clear discharge from incumbrances. But just, I say again, look at the world isn't it 1 repeat, a Deautiful world! If Texas, Oregon, ov California had never been attached, wouldn't it be still" a splendid world? With them isn't it magnificent! And yet a feller can't gel along unless he's a shaver or a speculator, or has an unlimited credit with assurance, and has, consequently, any stock of it always on hand. If assurance honored aiiy drafts, 1 wouldn't care a fig for nobody, 'cause I reckoned I'd been a member oi Congress,or a missionary preacher, or a temperance lecturer long ago, but 6be , wouldn't, and here I am, Dick Daker, just as I commenced, as stationary as if 1 were r. statue of misfortune, while all the world, -'cept those of my own school, are travelliu' , : on to fortun' as quick as if they are so many locomotives. I wish some of them would find a motive for takin'me along; but no they passes by without say in 'there you are, Dick.' I tell you it's too bad. If 1 was an -Archimediau screw, or a Magnetic Telegraph or any of these here new inventions, they'd soon interest themselves in my behalf they'd take stock in me, and I'd bo sure to rise " . .
