Written for the Palladium. SERENADE. O! w,ke, Udy wdc-, I pry thee arise. The moon is faat chmoing the star spangled And I am hire waiting to guide thee away: Com haste the-, iweet Udy, O! do notdeUy, B it robe thyself qui.kly and haste to my side, This night, or O never! thoa must be oy bride. The world is fast locked in the arms of sweet sleeps Old Neptune reposes out on the calm deep, The Jilou and willow are telling of love, The soft zephyr whispers the notes of the dove, Soft echo now woos thee, O come to my side, This night I will make thee, sweet angel, my bride. No clouds to obscure the moon's silvery light, Whose shadow might start thee, as phantoms of night; The path is all beaten, my boat's at the shore, And when we are seated all danger is o'er. TVn fear not fair lady, while I ra at thy side, For 1 will protect thee my sweet lovely bride. With speed to the Island our bark we will steer, Where the rose never fades, the ky's ever clear. Where the Godesa of love holds festival day, And where the whole year is one fair month of May. Then haste, while I woo thee, O haste to my side, This night, and forever, I'll make the my brideThe night is receding, the day will soon dnwn, The morn is approaching and I must be gone: Ocom?, lady com?, I wait but for thee, I'm bound for the Island thi'a far on the sea, Then robe thyself quickly, and haste to my side,

This night, or O never, thou must be my bride. LAHCASTia Oct. 4 h, 1830 Written for lh- Palladium. OHIO RIVER. Mj?stic Ohio! wi'h wonder I view, Tby vast rolling waters and distant hil's blue; How tby waves gently dashing the current reptlls. While o'er thee the steamer her proud bosom swells. 2n high Pennsylvania tby waters first meet, Through low Mississippi they mingle and sweep ; Tby source, is the mountain, the hill and the plain Thy end, the great ocean, the gulf and the rnin. A son of the back-wood can view with delight Su b g.-andtur and beauty untired of the sight: liis mind, with reflection, revers to the past, When these shores were wild and with gloom overcast ; When, in times well remembered, the savtge was feared, As down the lone valley the emigrant steered ; Where then rose the forest that shaded his h'Unts, Where swift sped his arrow, or tuned his war dance, Behold! now the meadows and fields bound leas wealth! And LiiWienceburgh villa, of beauty and health. L. N. LOVE AND WAR. War and Love have various cares ; War sheds blood, and Love sheds tears ; War has swords, and Love has darts, War breaks heads, and Love breaks hearts. War mkts foes, Love makes friends ; War's soon o'er, Love never ends: War mkes wrath, Love nukes strife. War t.k s wealth, and Love takes life. War moves bold, Love moves sly; War maki s us rave, Love makes us sigh ; War's rul'd by nvn, Love's ruPd by the fair, War needa many soldiers. Love needs hut a pair. Selected The writer of the following report of a "Kentucky election" Mr. Prentice, has issued proposals for a newspaper at Louisville, and is, by agents, soliciting the patronage of that very people he has so shamefully insulted. 44 I have just witnessed that strange thing a Kentucky Election and am disposed to give you an account of it. An election in Kentucky lasts three days, and, during that period, whiskey and apple-toddy flow through our cit ie3 and villages, like the Euphrates through the ancient Babylon. I must do Lexington the justice to say, that matters were conducted here with tolerable propiiety, but, in Franklin, a place which had the curiosity to visit, on the day of the election, drunkenness stalked triumphant. A number of run ners, each with a whiskey bottle poking its long jolly neck from his pocket, were busily employed in bribing voter2, and each party kept half a dozen bullies under pay genuine specimens of Kentucky Alligatorism to Hog every poor fellow that should attempt to vote illegally. A half hundred of mortar would scarce fill up the chinks of skulls broken on that occasion. I barely escaped, myself. One of the runners came up tome, and slapping my shoulder with his right hand, and a whiskey bottle with his left, asked me if I was a voter. No," said I. Ah never mind," qanth the follow, pulling a corncob from the nose of his bottle, and shaking it up, to the best advantage, just take a swig at the cretur, and toss in a vote I'll fight for ou, damme P Here was a temptation, to be sure, but after looking alternately at the hoVle and the bollies, who were standing ready with their sledge -hummer fists to knock down all interlopers, my fears prevailed, and 1 lot my w hisky. Shortly after this, I witnessed a fiiriit that would have done honor to Menricz and Big Ben. A great, ruffian looking scoundrel, with arms like a pair of cables knotted at the end, and a round black head that looked

like a forty-four pound cannon shot, swaggered up to the polls, and threw in his bit of paper, and was walking eft" in triumph. "Stop friend!" exclaimed one of the S ilt River Roarers, stepping deliberately up to him, "are you a vo ter?" "Yes by !" replied he of the bullet head. "That's a lie!" rejoined the Roarer, and you may jest prepare yourself to go home an old man, for Til be if I don't knock you into the middle of your ninety ninth year!" A ah,' said the other, 'come on then I'll ride you to h 11,'whipt with a sea sarpent!' They had now reached an open space, and the salt river bully, shaking his fists a moment by way of feint, dropped his chin suddenly upon his bosom, and pitched head foremost at the stomach of his antagonist, with the whole strength of his gi gantic frame. Bullet-head, however, was on his guard, and, dodging aside with the quickness of lightning, to avoid the shock, gave the assailant a blow that sent him staggering against a whiskey table, where he fell to the ground, amid the crash of botlles, mugs and tumblers. Nothing daunted by this temporary discomfiture, the hully gathered himself up, and with a single muttered curse, resumed his stand in front of his foe. Several blows were now given on both sides with tremendous elfect, and in a few moments, the Salt R ver boy, watching his opportunity, repeated the manoeuvre, in which he had first been foiled. This time he

was successful. His head was planted directly in his antagonist's stomach, who fell backwards with such a force, that I had no expectation of his ever rising again. "Is the scoundrel done for?" enquired the temporary victor, walking up and lookim down upon his postnite foe. Bullet Mead spoke not, but, with the bound of a wild cat, leap ed to his feet, and grappled with his enemy. It was a trial of strength, and the combants tugged, and strained, and foamed at the mouth, and twined like serpents around each others' bodies, till at length the strength of the Bullet Head prevailed, and his opponent laid struggling beneath him. "Gouge him! gouge him ! !" exclaimed a dozen voices, and the topmost combatant seized his his victim by the hair, and was preparing to follow the advice that wa9 shouted in his ears, when the prostrate man, roused by desperation, and exerting a streith that seemed superhuman, caught his assailant by the throat with a grasp like that of fate. For a few moments the struggle seemed to cease, and then the face of the throttled man turned black, his tongue fell out of his mouth, and he rolled upon the ground a9 senseless as a dead man. I turned away a confirmed believer in the doctrine of total depravity." FATAL FROLIC. About twenty years ago, a gentleman, remarkable for strong nerve, was at a party consisting of a tew friends j where ghosts and supernatural agency became the subject of conversation. After a few remarks by some of the party, the young gentleman's opinion was asked, when he firmly declared he had no belief whatever in such nonsense, and that he would as soon meet a herd of ghosts as a flock of sheep, and that he would no more mind passing a night in a reputed haunted house, than by his own tire-side. One or two of the party determined to try his nerve, and one gentleman in particular, oflered to wager him a dozen of wine that he would be afraid to sit up all night with a corpse. He instantly accepted the bet, provided he was allowed a fire, a pair of pistols, and a glass of grog, and his own house being made the scene of the trial of his nervous faculties. These terms being agreed to, the parties separated, and the next evening was to be the time appointed for the decision of the bet. The next evening came, and every thing being in readiness, pistols, fire and grog, the corpse was brought in by the party that laid the wager, assisted by a friend, enveloped in a large sheet, and placed in a coffin, and set down in the middle of the room. At this in stant, the young hero was called down from the room to speak to a person upon some trifling business, which he instantly despatched, and returned up stairs. The parties who brought the corpse in, after wishing him a good night, were on the point of departure, when he earnestly said, "Now if any tricks are attempted to be played with me, I will tire at the corpse, if one it is, for f strongly suspect it a living being." They made him no further answer to this threat than these ominous word?, "Remember twelve o'clock!" He was then left alone. lie stirred his fire, sipped his grog, and made himself as comfortable as he could possibly do. At length the solemn hour of midnight arrived. As the last stroke vibrated on his ear, he distinctly saw the corpse begin to movehe snatched a pistol from the table advanced to the cotfin, and exclaimed, 41 If you stir another 6tep, I will tire!" To this iu

junction he received no answer, the supposed corpse rose up in the coffin, and stepped out. He repeated his threat it still advanced he fired, and the bullet was thrown back in his face by the corpse. He fell to the ground with a piercing shriek, and rosea lunatic, in which w retched state he remained till his death, which happened about a year after this tragic and truly heartrending scene occurred. A more lamentable instance of cruel folly perhaps never occurred. Had but its victim for a moment reflected,

he would have been saved; but the idea of the bullet being returned, or perhaps that of shooting a fellow creature, took such an aflbct on his nerves, that reason forsook her empire, never more to return. A moment's forethought would have saved him. During the time he was called out of the room to speak to the person who ! wished to see him, (who was a partv concerned,) the bullets were drawn from the pistols, and given into the hands of the corpse, w ho was likewise one of the party who was present when the wager was laid. The occurrence is never thought of by either of the ac tors iu this fatally foolish a flair, but it occasions a sigh or pang of remorse. Yankee Character. A late Massa chuselts Journal says, lThe f lh)ingl is a domestic specimen of mother Jonathan as he is. Brother Jonathan had met an old acquaintance, and amidst much talk the following occurred:' 1 got to be about five and forty and tho'i I'd g-1 married and I got inanied; I used to like fourth proof, you know: but after I got married rny wife would' nt let me have no fourth proof, and I sulPred dreadfully, I tell ye. One morning 1 got up with desperate dr tooth-ache, and I felt dreadful y, and I asked my wife if she had'nl got no fourth proof to give me, and she said she had'nt and 1 fell dreadfully. A- d I tho't I'd go over and see Batiencf IMdrelh and now Patience-she's a w illin, critter. Sol went in and she gave me a chair, and she asked me hou 1 did, and I told her 1 fell desperately. And I said Patience! and she said what she's a willin critter and I asked her if she had'nt got no fourth proof, and she said she guessed she had; she went down to the suttle and she broughi up a decanter that held I guess as much as three pints; and 1 tuck it, and I .-hutk her, and she boar a bead, 1 tell yv. And I said Patience ! and she said what now she's a willin critter, and ahvay rmdy to hear what 1 have to say u.d I a?ked her if she had'nt got no tumbler to give me, and she s.iid she guessed the had. And she went down to the suttle, and she brought up a tumbler that in Id 1 guess as much as two pints. And 1 I tuck it up and ! shuck hei again and she boar a bead. Aad 1 turiu d out as much near unon't as four fillers and I said Patience again, & slu said what, and 1 asked her if she had'nt got no water; and she paid she guessed she had but I told her 1 guessed it did'nt make no matter, for J did not see no where for nobody to put none and 1 drinked her down at one swigg, and she went like ile. Aud when 1 got fc 1 could speak, I said Patience, and she said wl.at, and I told her if my mother had given such milk as trnit, Pd have kept a stream of it running down my throat, as big as the nosa of a teapot a thousand years. RUM COLOUR-In one of one New England parishes since the comrnencrment of the reform in temperence, at a meeting held for the transaction of business, a proposition was introduced and carried for painting (he meeting house. Of course it wa3 necessary to decide what colour it should be painted. One gentleman proposed white, another green; another yi How ; another red; and reasons were offered for each. At last gays one, 'Mr. Moderator, I move that it be painted rum colour: And 1 will give a reason. There is Col. , who sits near you, has had his face painted rum colour these 15 years and it grows brighter aud brighter every year.' Andover Journal, Crocket Outdone!
