THE TEAIt OF PITY. Lines -written in Lawrenceburgh Jaii, Feb' 10. The sparkling treasure of the mines, Or regal diadem that shines, So bright and clear, Will sink in real sterling worth With thee, tbou gem of heareoly birthSweet Pity's tear. The heart that feels for other woes, That gen'rous tear that nob! flows, Aod sacred sigh: That heart is sare of angel mould, And worth on mercy's page enroll'd, Beyond the skie.

The hurel wreaths "that deck the brarel, Aod high on vict'rys standard ware, Will brighter be, If these green flow'ra, so bravely won, . Where 'heath the beam of glory's sun, BegemmM with thee. The splendid jewels which tbey wear. And ornaments that deck the fair, All can not vie, With the bright gem that Pity calls, That pearl in brilliant lustre falls, From Beauty's eye. J. F. To J. F. in Lawrenceburgh Jail, Misfortune is the lot of man, While in this world of sin; To ere is a snare on ev'ry hand, 4nd many fall thereio. This seems to be the Poet's fate, In Lawrenceburgh confin'd; Why is the gifted and the great, To fortune's frown destio'd? 0! why isr genius thus deprest, ad into prison cast? f)) may he be truly blest, nd see good days at last. Why should a virtuous life begun, To vice ere fall & prey; That flourish'd in the morning sun, With prospects bright and gay? How oft the fairest flowers that bloom, Al morn look fresh and gay, WiM droop and wither ere 'tis noon, Aod sink fast to decay. Yet if the root be firm and fdsf, It soon will bloom again; It shall survive the stormy blast, tfnd beauties fresh regain. May he that made the sun to shine, Upon his morning clear, Now cause each gloomy cloud decline, Tbe Poet's heart to cheer. May he each passing moment grasp, A better world to gain; Misfortunes will not always clasp, Tho' they a while remain: O! may be put his trust in God, nd walk in wisdom's way; Then He will guide him on the road To realms of endless day. Rising Sun, Indiana II. H. THE JAOIISOIT DII7UER. The following vas written by a young Gentleman from the North of Ireland, on visiting the battle ground at New Orleans, soon after Jackson's Victobt. JVEJV SONG, FOR THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY. TtETn Paddy's Wedding. SrRE when you hear what roar and cheer Was spread at Jackson's dinner O, And bow so gay they spent the day, 'Till gusts grew thin and thinner 0; First, tickets flew the country throughNo lads than bis were smarter O; They invited all, both great and small, Nor ask'd for rest or quarter O. Now d'ye see, it was about the merry making times of Christmas, that Jackson took it into his head to prepare a splendid Dinner; so he sent a few brave fellows, with an invitation up and down round and about North and South; who went as fast as their legs could carry them: yet, the devil a whit did they value the fatigue but still went singing: We are the Boys to suit ye O, ! To suit ye O to suit ye O; We are the Boya to suit ye O. Now Pftckeoham in splendor came, And Gibbs, so fond of dashing O! And then Sir Keene, who wars had seen, And Lambert, fam'd for slashing O! And then a seore of Bloods or more, Deck'd off with stars and garters O! And then tbe Reds, twelve thouiand heads, "Who'd never cried for quarter O. Then came, d'ye see, a heap, of your star and garter and gold trimrcrd gen try, who conquered the troops in Old Spain: with a pack of their fellows, dressed in their blood-red coats, who kept scrapping and bowing while a parcel of our long tailed militia marched up, without making any answer to then jeering, but kept singing, We are the Boys, &c. A jovel set at Dinner met, The scene was style and eplender, O! Tbe Powder Pie was seaeon'd high, The mests were nice and tender O! Tbe Sugar Plums were Jackson's Bombs, The Bowl for Punch a mortar O! You'd scarce have qusff'd the second draught Before you'd cried for quarter O. By St. Patrick, and it would have uone your hearts good to have seen the grand preparations made for the enter tainment. Every dish was in the highest style:-The two sizes, eighteens and thirty-twos, served as pint and quart de canters; and the mortar taken from old George the last war at Yorktown, as a

gallon bottle and at every sup our back-woods men took, they kept singing, We are the Boys, &c. Now Swords they for Knives did lay, And Bayonets for Forking Of Aod Bottles strong, full five feet long, With Leaden Balls for corking 0! j

And when at first a Bottle burst, They thought 'twss naught but water 0! But soon the soood was spread around, As loud they bawl'd for quarter O. Now Jackson was a comical kind of a quizzical old fellow, and determined to do the thing in a military way; so he clapt down swords instead of case-knives, and bayonets instead of forks instead of glass bottles, he had decanters of wrought iron, and leaden stoppers in stead of ground ones; and when any of the decanters happened to burst, Jonny Bull thought the contents was nothing but water, but he soon bawled out that it wa9 Yankee Stuff of tenth proofwhile our long tailed shepherds kept winking and singing, We are the Boys, he. Now Knife and Fork did briskly work, As Carroll fast was Carving 0 1 Ho'd slice the breast, nor mind the rest; No season this for starving 0 ! Then round he'd toss the dainty sauce: Tbey thought 'twas mix'd with tartar O! Then down they threw their arms and blew A royal blast of quarter Of When Andrew, d'ye see, set Carroll to carving, he made a wing fly this way, and a leg fly that way; but the devil a whit did he care for either, so that he could give them a bit of the breast; but when he came to pour a little sauce upon it, they squalled out lustily forquar ter and went staggering and puking about whilst our joval lads did nothing but laugh and sing, We are the Boys, &e. The Yankee Glass full brisk did pass; We begg'd they'd stay for Coffee O! Of Hickory play, enough bad they, And hoped we'd let them offe Of They cross'd the sea with mirth and glee, But wisb'd they'd atopp'd much shorter O, And miss'd tbe dish of d d Milisb, Which made them yell for quarter 01 Now, d'ye see, the glass was pushed about so briskly , that our merry fellows got into fine glee, and begged their guests to wait aud take a cup of Coffee with them; but they made a thousand apologies, and begged to be excused, pushing on with all speed in the direc lion of Old England, while our jollv souls, Milish and all, huzza'd and sung, We are tbe Boys to suit ye Q, To suit ye 0 -to suit ye O; We are tbe Boys to suit ye O. From the Saturday Evening Post. SHADDOCK'S DEFEAT. "There is a man usually known by the appellation of "The Bill-Sticker," having been years employed by successive sheriffs, now in his ninety-ninth year, living and moving through our streets, with the only support of a single stick. Whether hU means are enough for his comfort is unknown that they are narrow is more than pro bable. JNow he is little thought of. but after he has left the stace, if in the storv of his eventful life it shall appear that he suttered underchill penury, how many generous souls will be ready to ex claim, "Alas! poor old Butler!" and regret that this opportunity of doing good is gone forever! Such cenerositv and sorrow, like light and air, cost nothing. and are too often the circulating mediumol benevolence. His father came to this province in 1662 and settled near the eulf in Chester county, the place of Butler's birth;' then, although less than eighteen miles from the city, an Indian country; or at best a frontier settlement. His mother was a native; not a Pocahontas, vet the old man, with filial affection and with pride, asserts his title to the honor of the half-blood. In 1754-5. war was racing between France and England, and our frontiers suffered the horrors and dangers of r rench and Indian incursions. The province was called on to raise troops tor its defence: and butler enlisted in captain English's company, colonel Grubb s regiment of the provincials. Fort du Quesne, then in the hands of the French, was the leading object of at tack. The English, about 1500 strong, onder the command of general Braddock, had already landed in Virginia. The plan of the campaign was this: --Braddock, with his regulars, and a regiment ofVirginia troops was to march by the way of Cumberland, while our troops, with a regiment of Jersey pro vincials, commanded by colonel Ogdeu, were to take a northern route: and the two armies were to join on this side of uie ion. In May, 1755, the provincials from this city took up their line of the way of Reading and Sunburv uicm.u up iue wesi orancn to the Big j.i.xvuut, uiicu lucy were 10 incline to the left until they fell in with Braddock. The road even to Reading presented dif. ficullies. To admit of the advance of the army, much clearing: was necessarv j i and, on its arrival there, the French and Indians were seen on the surrouudine i'ii- i uuis in numoers. The first fight however, was on the

island, thereafter called Shamokin, a v icious Indian pronunciation of smoking where the French fort Augusta stood. This was taken and the provincials pushed on. In the afternoon of the 8th of July, 1775, the provincials fell in with Braddock, a few miles short of the place called Braddock's Field, the battle ground; which is about ten miles this side of the fort. The whole of the provincial troops, about 2500, were then put under the immediate command of major Washington, of the Virginia line a tall stripling, who it was said had already seen service. General Forbes, who lived until the beginning of the revolution, was second in command under Braddock. The army halted for the night, and the provincials under Washington, immediately set to work to clear the ground for its encampment, and to guard against ambush. Soon three parties of Indians with an interpreter appeared, and were conducted to the general. They came to offer their services. Braddock, naturally irritable and haughty, perhaps increased tbe infirmity of his temper by the profuse use of Scotch snuff, taken ever Sz. anon from his jacket pocket. "1 have men enough," said he, "I want no Indians to scour tbe woods," and they returned. In a short time another party

came in. Ihe general ordered captain Green, of the artillery, to bring up two hld pieces, and charge them with grape and langridge. They were fired, and the Indians again dismissed. Major Washington, whose marquee was about a quarter of a mile from that of the general, observing what was going forward, manifested impatience. He hurried, his thumbs in the arm-holes of his jacket to Braddoclfa quarters, and remonstrated. 4lt is a pretty story,' said the latter, 'that I am to be told my duty, by a beardless boy. To your quarters, sir.' Washington with modest manner, but with marks of strong feeling, replied, 'to-morrow, general you will not know an Indian from a preen bush; but with submission I go: the blood of these men is not on my head. At nine o'clock, the next morning, the army of the provincials on the right marched. Colonel Fawcct commanded the advance. After a march of six miles, to raaaoc& d ueiu iuk uuath was vc gun. The fire of the French and Indians, from their ambuscade in the surrounding forest, was hot and heavy. They were scarcely seen; but their balls were shot with mortal aim, especially at the ofBcerg. Fawcet was shot from his horse. Braddock, who, whatever were his deficiencies, showed no want of courage, rode up and ordered a brother of Fawcet's to take the command of the advance. He hesitated; the general cut him down, and just on his turning was himself shot down by a rifle ball from the younger Fawcet, who had stepped aside from his position. The slaughter was terrible the yells of the savages frightful. Braddock had five horses soht under him before he received his death wound, which was between ten and eleven o'clock in the mnrtirgForbef, immediately tLok the com mand Major Washington asked what he would have done. The troops were standing in groupes mere mmksfor the enemy. 'Sir,' said Forbes, ! know little of this kind of warfare, do as you think best. A retreat was beat, and tbe sm&ll remains of the army, with the general on a litter, made their retreat good undl they met general Dunbar with the Highlanders. Here the flight ceased. A council of war was held. S me of the povincials were to remain; Dunbar, with the main army continued his retreat. Braddock expired before it wasbepun he was buried in the middle of the road, to prevent his body from falling into the bands of the Indians. In 1758, Washington again command ed the Provincials in a second expedition against Fort du Quesne. The entire command was with general Grant, who was shot in the fort after it was taken, by a rifle ball from the hill, since called Grant's Hill. Such is the history of the mortal com bat at Braddock's field, taken almost verbatim from the lips of old Mr. Butler. His narrative clear and connected, his memory retentive, and his physical pow er considerable. Considering the fapse or time, it would nevertheless be surprising of his relation was entirely free trom discrepancies. He served also in the war of the revolution ; yet, in consequence of difficulty in obtaining certain proofs required by law, he was disappointed in his application for a pension. Whether it has 6ince been granted, is not knosvn. His services areas notorious by tradition, as he exists. He has always maintained a good reputation, and are there none willing to cheer the last days of this old soldier?Date Obolum Bclisario. Note. The story General Braddock being shot by young Fawcet is corrobo rated by received opinion, in the weslerni part of the state, and it h said by Fauct

himself, who is yet living in Wcstmofe land. Butler made him a visit within a few years, principally on foot, when no doubt the old men "fought all their battles o'er again." LIFE IX A STEAM BOAT Did you ever go from Albany to New York in the "one dollar and found" steam boat? I did: and if you ak what there is strange in that, 1 can tell you it is a most wonderful circumstance that I am alive and am not devoured on the passage. I was told that one little fellow who ventured into the cabin,just before dinner, among four hundred and fifty of those "one dollar and found" men, was snapped up instanter, by way ofa whet-

ter, just as they would gobble up a cream-cake before dinner. I have not the least doubt of it. Certain it is, he descended the cabin stairs, and was never more seen. I inquired if he left a wife and seven small children, but could get no information. I was seated at dinner between two fellows of enormous rotundity and should probably shared the same fate, had I not abstracted two pillows from a birth behind me, and thus raised my head a little above their jaws. But they did eat. Ye Gods! how they did eat! I have been iu a cotton mill; but that was an illustration ofsilence,compared to the noise kept up on both sides of me for the space of an hour bv their masticatory oreans. 1 was is the centre of the table, the births behind me, and could not get out until some fifty or sixty on one side or the other saw fit to move. Did you ever see a Byfield porker at his meal? But no, that will not do, Swine are dietists to these fellows. I was determined to punish them if 1 could get an opportunity. There was one large sweet potato onaplaiejuBt at my right, and I observed ihe fellow on my left eyeing it most ominiously. Said I to myself, "poor potato, you are des tined to keep a most miscellaneous company if you descend into thai man's maw." Another must ominious giance, "dead for a ducat," I exclaimed almost aloud. But il was high time for action. His forked arm rose deliberately and stretched across my plate. Being nearer, I made a side thurst under his aim, and unperceived by him seized the riz-. His fist descended with immense impet us upon the empty dish, his fork slipped to th other end of it, and he fell head first into his own plate; his great arms outstretched to saye him, scattered destruction far and wide, smashing cas tors, upsetting brandy and waiei, a-d helping oue gentleman to another gentleman's tuikey, without even saying, "by your leave, sir." For a few moments, every thing was in most admirable confusion. However, the waiters soon cleared away the wreck of matter, and I apologized to the gentle man, in the style of Doctor Ollapi d, for being the indecent cause of his unfortunate catastrophe. "My dear sir, I am sincerely sorry for your catastrophe, eatables in this quater are no very near neighbors to each other O iu .s obliged to make a long shot if h wislie? to harpoon any thhg." "Ay, a)," grumbled he, "it was a desperate attempt I made for the potato. "Andy ou was completely dished in it," said I, regarding the extempore mash of sauces which he had made by sousing i i ,,ix i i ( i-i r hia head, "Do you take? good sir, do you take?" kI will take that dish of goose if you please, sir," said he, pointing to a spot at ?ome distance, whrrt I saw a d zen men wilh blood thirslv looks pouncing upon the corpus delicti. "1 would oblige you with all my heart," said I,ubut there is a jury sitting upon the body. "And what is their verdict?" asked he, seeing me reach forward to witness the consultation. "That he is a gone goose," said I, "for there is not even a drumstick left." Galaxy, Perspicuity of Arrangement. "1 don't know," said a gentleman to the Rev. Andrew Fuller, "how I can remember your sermons better than those of any other Minister, but such is the fact." "I cannot tell," replied Mr. Fuller, "unless it be owing to simplicity ofarrangemeut. I pay particular attention to this part of composition, always placing things together that are related to each other in succession. For instance," added he, "suppose I were to say to my maid servant, 'Betty, you must go and buy some butter, and starch, and cream, and soap, and tea, aud blue, and sugar, and cakes.' Betty would say , La, master I shall never, be able to remember all these.' But suppose I were to 6ay, 'Betty, you know your mistress is going to have some friends to tea to-morrow, and that you are going to wash the dayfollowing, and that for the tea party, you will want tea, and sugar, and cream, and cakes, and butter; aod for the washing, you will want soap, and starch, and blue:' Betty would instantly reply, k Yes, sir, I can remember them all very well.'
