MISCELLANY.

From the London 44 Forget me not' COUNSELS. by Bernard Barton, Eq Tbougb bright tby morn of life may two, Remember clouds may rise; And (rust Dot to the transient gleam Of calm and smiling skies, go tread life's calm, in sunshine drsst, Witb lowly cautious fear, That when grief's shadows o'er it rest, Its memory may be dear. If dark life's matin house may be, Despond mot at this gloom; Joy's cloudless tun may rise for thee, And Hope's bright flow'rets bloom. So trace the pathway, thorn-bestrewed, That thou, 10 happier hours, With pure and pangless gratitude, May's t bless its fragrant flowers. Thro1 clouds and sonsbine, flowers and thorn, Pursue tby even way; Nor let tby better hopes be born Of things that must decay. Rejoice with trembling, mourn with hope, Tako life as life was given; His rough ascent, is flowery slope. May lead alike to Heaven ! From the New York Evening Post. THE TWINS. -"I teU it to you at it was told to me In the autumn of 1827 1 bad occasion to visit the towo of N. , beautifully situated on the western bank of Connecticut river. My business led me to the house of B , a lawyer of three score and ten, who wa3 resting from the labors and enjoying the fruits of a life strenuously and successfully devoted to his profession. His drawing room was richly furnished and decorated with several valuable 'paintings. There was one among them that particularly attached my attention, ft represented a mother with two beautiful children, one in either arm, a light veil thrown over the groups and one of the children pressmg its lips to the cheek of the mother. " Inat" said 1 pointing to the pic ture, os very beautiful pray, sir, what is the ubject?" "It is a mother and her twins" said he ; "the picture in itself is deemed a fine one, but l value it more for the recollections which are associated with it? I turned my eye upon B. ; he looked communicative, and I asked him for the story. "Set down," aid he, "and I will tell it." We accordingly sat down and he gave me the following narrative: During the period of the war of the revolution, there resided in the western part of Massachusetts a farmer by the name of Stedman. He was a man of substance, descended from-a very respectable English family, well educated, distinguished for great firmness of char acter in general, and alike remarkable for inflexible integrity and steadfast loy alty to his king. Such was the reputanon ne susiamea, mat even wnen the most violent antipathies against royalism swayed the community, it was still admitted on all hands that farmer Stedman, though a tory, was honest in his opinions, and firmly believed them to be right. The period came when Burgoyne was advancing from the north. It was a time of great anxiety with both the friends and foes of the revolution, and one which called forth their highest exertions. The patriotic militia flocked to the standard of Gttes and Staik, while many of the tories resorted to the quarters of Burgpyne and Baum. Among the latter was Stedman. Fie had no sooner decided it to be his duty, than he took a kind farewell of his wife, a woman of uncommon beauty, gave his children, 3 twin boy and girl, a long embrace, then mounted his horse and departed. He joined himself to the unfortunate expedition of Baum, and was taken with other prisoners of war by the victorious Stark. He made no attempt to cenceal his name or character, which were both soon discovered, and he was accordingly committed to prison as a traitor. The jail, in which he was confined, was in the western part of Massachusetts, and nearly in a ruinous condition . The farmer was one night waked from bis sleep fcy several persons in his room. 'Come,' said they,' you can now regain your lib erty; we have made a breach in the prison, through which you can escape.' io their astonishment Stedman utterly refused to leave his prison. In vain they expostulated with him: in vain thev re presented to him that his life was at stake.. His reply was, that he was a servant of King George, and that he would not creep out of a hole at night, ana sneaK away trom tne rebel?, to save nis neck from the gallows. Finding it altogether fruitless to attempt to move him, his friends left him with some expressions of spleen. The time at length arrived for the trial of the prisoners. The distance to the place where the court was sitting at that time was about sixty miles. Stedman remarked to the sheriff, when be came to attend him, that it would save some expense and inconvenience,, if he could be permitted to go alone and on "foot. 'And suppose,' said the sheriff, yoa should prefer to your safety to your

honour, and leave me to seet you in the

British camp.' 'I had thought, said the farmer, reddening with indignation, 'that I was speaking to one who knew me.' 'I do know you, indeed, 6aid the sheriff, 'I spoke but in jest; you shall have your way. Uo, and on the intra day I shall expect to see you at I The farmer departed, and at the appointed time he placed himself in the hands of the sheriff. I was now engaged as his counsel. Stedman insisted before the court, upon telling his whole story; and when I would have taken advantage of some technical points, he sharply rebuked me, and told me he had not employ ed me to prevaricate, but only to assist him in telling the truth. I have never Been such a display of simple integrity. It was affecting to witness his love ol plain, unvarnished truth, elevating him above every other consideration, and presiding in his breast as a sentiment even superior to the love ofhle. J saw the tears more than once springing to the eyes of his judges; never betore or since have 1 lelt such an interest in a client. I pleaded for him as I should have pleaded lor my own hie. 1 drew tear., but 1 could not sway the judgement of stern men, controlled more Oy a sense of duty than the compassionate piomptintfs of humanity. Stedman was condemned. 1 told mm there was a chance of pardon, if he would ask it. I drew up a petition and requested nim to sign it, but he refused. I have done. said he, 'what 1 thought my duty. can ask pardon of my Goo, and my King . a a . I out it would be hypocrisy to astf iorgiv ness to these men, for an actiou 1 siiouid repeat, were I again placed lit simila circumstances. No: ask me not to big! tnat petition. If what you call ih cause of American freedom requires the blood of an honest man lor the conscien tious discharge of what he deemed hi duty, let me be its victim.- Go to my Judges and tell them I place not my fears'nor my hopes in them.' It was in vaiu that I pressed the subject ; and wen away in despaiiv Ih returning to my house I'accidental ly called on an acquaintance, a young man of a brilliant genius, the subject o a passionate predilection lor painting This led him frequently to take excur sion into the country, for the purpose ot sketching, such objects and scenes as were interesting: to him. From one of these rambles he had just returned. found hira citting at ease, giving the last touches to the picture which attracted your attention,- He asked my opinion of it. it is a fine picture, said I, 'is it a fancy piece,- or are they portraits?1 'They are portraits said he, 'and save perhaps a little embellishment, they are f think striking likenesses of the wife and children of your unfortunate client, Stud man. In the course of my ramble?, I chanced to call at his house in H I never saw a more oeautuui grout f r 1 . The mother is one of a thousand: and the twins are a pair of cherubs, 'Tellmp,'' said I, laying my hand on the picture, 'tell me, are they true and faithful por traits of the w ife and children of Sied man!' My earnestness made my friend stare, lie assured me that as far as he could he permitted to Judge of his own productions, they were striking repre sentation?. I asked no lurther questions. I seized the picture and hurried with it to the prison where my client was tonfined. I found him sitting, his face cov ered with his hands, apparently wrung by keen emotion. I placed the picture in such a position that he could not fail to see it. I laid the petition on the little table by his side, and left the room. In half an hour I returned. The farmer grasped my hand, while tears stole down his cheeks; his eye glanced first upon the picture and then upon the petition. He said nothing, but handed the latter to me. I took it, and left the apartment. He had pat his name to it. The petition was granted, and Stedman set at liberty. Lezitlation. Most readers roav not be so far acquainted with the ancient form of Polish Diets, as to know that their resolutions are noti legally valid if there was one dissenting vnc, and that in many cases the most violent means were resorted to, to obtain unanimity. The following instance wa6 related to our toiorairr, a person of high rank On some occasion, a provincial Diet was convened fur tbc purpose of passing a resolution which was generally acceptable, but to which it was apprehended one noble of the district would oppose h'xswto To escape this interruption, it was generally resolved to meet exactly at the hour of sum mons, to proceed to business upon the instant, and thus to elude the anticipated attempt ofj the individual to defeat the purpose of their meeting. They accordingly met at the hour, with most accurate precision, shut and bolted the door of their place of meetintr. But the dissentient arrived a few minutes afterwards and entrance being refused under the excuse that the Diet was already constituted, he climbed upon the roof of the hall, and it being summer time, when no fires were lighted, descended through the vent into the stove by which, io winter, the apartment was heated. Here he lay perdu, until the vote waa called, when just as it was to be recorded unanimous in favor of the proposed measure, he thrust bis head out of the stove, like a tertle protrud id; bii neck frora hit shell, and propuaced

the fatal ttto. Unfortunately for himself in

stead of instantly withdrawing hit bead be looked round for an initant witb exultation, to remark and enjoy tb confusion which bis sudden appearance and interruption bad excited in the assembly. One of the nobles who stood by, unsheathed bis aabre, and served at one blow the dissentient's bead from bis body. Our noble informer, expressing some doubt of a story so extraordinary, was referred for its confirmation to Prince Sobeitky, afterwards Kae of Poland who not only bore testimony to the strange scene as what bo bad himself witnessed, but declared that the head of the Deitin rolled over his own foot, almost as soon

as he beard the word veto uttered. Such aBombazetts, constitution required much amelioration; but! Flannels,
