MISCELLANEOUS. MACHINE POETRY. " BY SPOOLS. ''Man was made to mourn O maw! while in thy younger days, Thou dost not care a darn; You reckless run in mischiefs ways, And will not wisdom am; Your daddy's and yours ma's advice, With up-turned nose you scorn, And then, in after years, you find, That "man was made to mourn." Look not alone on active youth, Or manhood's ripened age; Man is but miserable at best, No matter what his st.ge; But see him, in his boyhood's bloom, 'Fore breakfast take a horn And he will find, ere many days, That "man was made to mourn." air it ual." ue." A few are fed with luxuries, Served up on pleasure's platter; But think not that dame Fortune does, Midst all her comforts scatter; For, oh we find, in every land, Loafers, with trowser's torn. And thread-bare coats which plainly shows That "man was made to mourn." Oh, pointed are the thorns of ill That pierce the breast we find; And yet we make them sharper still, By fighting with our kind, Then loafer's fight, and pull the hair That does the head adorn "Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn." See, yonder poor, besotted wight With nose so flaming red, Contrive to get himself a glass, But cannot get him bread; And see him as he reels along, All friendly warning spurn, Unmindful thou a teeping vife, And lots of babies mourn. Oh sleep! the poor man's faithful friend, The dearest and the best; He has no peace, except that when With thee he is at rest; And I'm but little better off, With on each toe a corn, And rheumatism in my boots, Which makes me sadly mourn, IS HE RICH I OR, AN UNEXPECTED VISITER. Concluded.) The tall, strong, and very fair young man put into his pocket the pistol that up to this time he had held in his hand. "They ate of little worth " remarked Fred erick, ''and I trust yon will not take from me the only means that I possess of escaping from disgrace and dispair." "You are a good natnred fool," said the stranger, putting his hand into the pocket of the helpless Brookes. He was looking for his gloves, which were p:.re, spotless, and of the latest fashion. 1 1 must be said of Mr. Ikey Samuels that he had a very handsome face, a remarkably fine figure, and that he was very neatly dressed, with two exceptions his Fhirt was not of the whitest, and he had no gloves. He remedied the first defect by buttoning his well made coat up to the chin; and for the se cond, he availed himself of the gloves of Frederick, which fitted him precisely. He also it must be owned, took with him the gentleman's hat, and then arranging his fair silky hair on his white forehead, he left the room with the appearance, the bow. and the manner of an exquisite. "Where are you going?" exclaimed Freder ick. "My pistols, in the name of Heaven! or, at least unloose me." "You shall see me almost immediately again," was the answer of Ikey Samuels, as he closed the door carefully behind him. It would appear that under his present circumstances, all that Mr. Ikey Samuels had to do, was to go out of the house as he entered it. and regretting that he had tried to despoil his neighbor of his goods, and failed in doing so. This would have been the proceeding or a common ordinary thief; but Samuels was no uch thing; for he was one of those extraordinary beings, who thought as little of doing a bad action as a good one. He had not taken a pair of French gloves to exhibit them at Regent's Circus at one o'clock in the morning. He went straight to the drawing room, he rapped gently with his gloved hand on the door, and then entered the apartment. As he did so, he perceived Miss Brookes standing up, Mrs. Chantry about to place a shawl upon her sliou.ders. and Air. imams about to oner ner his arm. I beg your pardon, ladies," said Samuels, perfectly unembarrassed; "but I presume I have the honor of addressing Miss Brookes." "Yes," replied the lady, "but I suppose sir, your business is with my brother." "Yes, yes; with Mr. Frederick Brookes I have most important business to transact." "But then, sir, it is so very late." "Yes, Miss Brookes, but it is so very pressing, and it concern him as much as you, and this gentleman as well as this lady, for you are all the friends of Mr. Brookes." This commencement of the conversation certainly surprised and agitated the.n all en cuing, as it did, at such a time of the night, and from an utter stranger, whose name they did not know, since he had not been announced. They seated themselves again, and Mr. Wil liams continued the conversation by saying. "You have had, sir, business to do with Mr. Brookes?" "Oh, yes, a very trifling matter; and I never aw him in my life, but once." "To whom have I the honor of addressing myself?" To Ikey Samuels, who lias just done a great ervice.to every one present." "What, to me too, sir?" said Mrs. Chantry, with the confidence of a pretty young widow. "Ye, Madam, to you also, if, as I snppose'it is to you that Mr. Brookes was about to have the happiness of being married." "What can it be, then? what has happened?" asked Emily, greatly frightened.

"Oh, a mere trifle, Miss Brookes. It only i but

"No, Madam, it is not all," coldly replied

Ikey; "there is something more to be said;

is, that if there ever was an honest man

"We know it. we know it but conlin "I came by the merest chance to his house this evening," continued Ikey; "I came to pay a visit as a friend, and I found him tn his cabinet. I may indeed own that I surprised bin there. He was lying on a sof;, and on the table beside him, I found, instead of pens and pa per these?' And as he thus spoke, the intruder look from his pocket the pistols. "Why, these &tc my brother's pisto i'" exclaimed Emily. "I know them well." said Mr. Williams, -Tor many is the time, as a boy, I have fired out of them, at sparrows." "Mr. Brookes," replied Ikey, with very sol emn dignity, "prepared them this day to shoot at something else. Look here, how strongly charged they are, and such big balls?" "Where, oh where is he! exclaimed the la dies, jumping up. "Be calm, be calm," continued the robber "I am responsible for his perfect safety. He is in his study, tied down to the sofa, you may be sure, he can do himself no injury. It was I who tied the knot, and I can tell you I know something of the matter. But you understand me; you must console and comfort him, you must treat him with kindness, tenderness. forbearance, trentleness. vou must pay his Ikey Samuels could have talked on a veryIons time without being contradicted, for he was now speaking but to tables and chairs in the drawing room. Hestopped, looked at himself in the glass, ran his fingers through his hair, and said to himself 'Well done Ikey, you can appear the gentleman, when you do choose to do so. Here arc two pretty women who have mistaken you for a full quarter of an hour, for a respectable stock-broker." Meanwhile Miss Brookes, Mrs. Chantry, and Williams, had piccipitated themselves intothe study. They found the unhappy Frederick tied in the precise position in which Samuels had secured him, they saw that he could not raise a finger to do himself violence. The two ladies wept as they cast their arms around him. "Ah. Frederick, Frederick " said the one, "you do not love your sister." j "Cruel man!'' cried the other, "do you not know that when a woman gives away her heart she gives away all her fortune at the same lime and that the bargaining for pin money is an insult to love?" "What a villain you are." exclaimed Williams, "not to say a single word to me, when you know that all my fortune is at your command." The widow Chantry wished to be married that very instant. Frederick requested they would unloose him. He consented to accept assistance from Williams he promised to ac cept the fortune and the hand of the lovely Cecilia. It was not until he had sworn a hundred oaths, and given a thousand solemn promises that lie was released. When they had at length recovered from their emotion, Emilysaid, "Let us go to the drawing-room, I must certainly kiss that dear, handsome, tall, fine looking Mr. Samuels, who has performed such an essential service to us all." "That is true." said Williams. "Who is that Mr. Samuels? I did not know that you had such a friend." "He is not my friend," replied Frederick. casting his eyes to the ground. "Then he must become a friend," remarked Emily. "He is a robber," answered Frederick who recounted the scene that had passed between them. They determined at length to go to the drawing room. "A robber!" The two ladies trembled even to pronounce his name; and as to Emily, she gave up all idea of rewarding him with a kiss. Nay, 6he even thought, vith some little terror, of her watch, which she had left on the mantlepiecc, and the widov began to si::h for her gold opera glass. "But what matter they?" said both ladies. "lie has performed for us too great a service to grudge so trifling a reward." They were actually entering the drawing room with the words of thanks upon their lips. The watch was on the mantlepicce the opera glass was untouched every thing that they had left in the room was there, except Ikey Samuels himself. The good nalured rogue did not wish to mar his thievery, the joy that must be derived by the service he had parformed. He had quitted the house of the stock-broker. Frederick Brookes was married to her whom he loved, instructed by experience, he gave up the gambling of th Stock Exchange, and re tired to a country seat of his wife's, in Forsetshire, where he has ever lived a life of tranquil happiness, that is participated in by Mr. Williams, who has by a marriage with Emily, became his brother-in-law. A short time after the marriage of Frederick nis nocturnal and unexpected visiter was found to be a prisoner in the jail of Dorset. The charge against him was burglary. As he was walking in the jail-yard one day, a. fe male piacca in nis lianas a Hundred sover eigns. "Ah!" said the prisoner, "I know well where that come from. It is from one who was for raenyou mesiocK tuvenange a fine young man who married a lovelv young woman. Let him keep his money." "What! do you refuse a small proof of grati Hide?" "Oh! I know; but I wish gratitude would keep the gold, and send roe a little sixpenny r.ie." I do not know whether so immoral a sugges tion was carried into active operation; but this I am quite sure of that soon after Ikey Sam uels had escaped from prison. 1 have heard,

WILLIAM RRflWW .

Manufacturer of Patlented Eight and Left I- Jiau veasieaas, S now prepared to offer to the citizens, and public generally, the best article of furniture in the way of Bedsteads ever offered in this part of the Country. This newly invented Bedsteads possesses the following decided advantages over all others heretofore muse: They can be put up or taken down in onefourth the time that is required to do the same with others, and without the possibility of a mistake. They are more firm and less apt to become loose and worthless; but on the con trary, are always drawing tighter and without a single harbor for vermin. As soon as their superiority over the common kind become known, and duly appreciated, they must of necessity take the place of those now in use, cr at least to a very great extent. Those wishing to purchase Bedsteads are re quested to call and examine them at S. & C. Coffin's Ware House at the Basin of the Canal at Brookville, where they will be kept constant ly for sale. They w ill be sold for cash or country produce at cash price. lie also keeps on hand at his ware rooms in Lawrenceburgh, an excellent assortment cf Cabinet Furniture of all kinds, which will be delivered at Brookville, or any place along the line of the canal, in good order.
