Written for the Palladium. TUB FADING FLOWER. Take.O! take this blighted flower, Which my parched Hps have fondly press'd ; Plucked within the last sad hour, Withering, cannot be refreshed. Twas the lasta precious gem, The fragrance of the tree it shed ; It clung with pride to its green stem, Yet gently hung its lonely head.

Its leaves were glit'ring in the dew, No purer could the heav'ns bestow, Nor gild with brigh'er finer hue. The spendid richness of its glow. I gazed upon its lovely form And wept, it seemed so happy there ; It ne'er had braved the howling storm, N')r felt the blight of winter's air. I reached my hand, in childish grief, And tore it from its shady bower, A'dyet 1 feh my triumph brief My tears ot joy ast for an hour. I knew it ne'er again could feel, The rays of life from nature's sky ; There was no balm its wound could hea' It grew to bloom, to fade, to die. October 21, 1830.

Written for the Palladium. THE TIMES' There's hope for the i imes yet to come, A hope that if good they may Jast ; A wish that the present was gone, And sorrow for diya which are past. Those times, most happy and bright. Are painted in visions to come ; Bope gives us the fairest delight, When hopir g is all that is done. The solid possessions of life, The present can only control ; It is the wild season of strife, And brightens or fades on the soulr The past f how it comes to the heart, And wakes on the mind all alone, A return of grief 's wounding smart, When all those bright seasons have flown.

and I do not know what else; and lo top off all, the puppy brought it right to me; I started bark the young folks tittered like a flock of black birds Sister scolded and called out ''brother don't drink hyson I'd forgot it." The negro then carried it to the rest; they all took a cup off the platter, and first put a bit of sugar on it, and then drizzled in about three drops of milk out of a thing no more like a milk cup than a grid iron. They held then tea cups in their hands and began to sip, red hot as it was: Sister said, 'You'd better try a cup of our hyson, brother I guess you will be apt to like it." I. thought I

must do as I was bid again, and so I tried to work it as the rest did I got my t up into my hands, but I am sure it was hotter than il." rest, for the very saucer burnt my fingers; and this mo merit along came the negro with auoth er platter full of bread and butter Atid now had you seen me, you would

have pittied me from your soul in one hand I held the tea cup, as hot as a warming pan, and in the other a great hunk of bread and butter; and for my life I couldn't tell wh'u h way to go to work to eat the one ordiink the oilier. The sweat ran down my face with mere vexation; but at length, as I was

doleful hungry, I made a greedy bite at my bread; in doing this I tilted the

tea-cup in the other hand, so that sis

ter's hyson slopped over on my fingers.

and scalded me so intolerably, that

down went bread and butter, lea-cup and all. The butter side of the bread

A tradesman who attempU to monopolize business, or to injure his compeers by underselling, is uuilty of high treason against soi.vtly, as he violates that integrity and good will, without which the social compact would soon be broken asunder. 1 always suspect that such a man has not paid for his goods, or sells those of an inferior quality.

A middle aged gentleman paid his adresses to a very young lady, but when he asked her in marriage was refused. Having acquainted a neighboring clergyman of his disappoint rnent, he received the following laconic scriptural answer. You asked and

Tetter worm After 1 had the tet

ointment which to k off the skin re

peatedly without offt cling a cure, a friend advised me to obtain some Red

Root, to slice it in vinegar and altcr-w;iids-tvash the place affected with this liquid. I did so, and in a few days the dry scurf was removed, and my diseased hand was as well as the. other. American Fanner.

A corpulent gentleman once riding towards a fortified town in England, began to fear the gates would be shut before he could reach it, and inquiied ol a market-man whom he met, wheth-

"You dog," said the doctor, "you nre a wit, you must be poor, come in," and he paid him his demand. mmtmmmimaaammmm Ihzo to hang a Scythe. While Mr. Webster was "in colh ge, he and his brother being on a visit to their father, the old gentleman gave each of them a scythe, and set them to mowing. Daniel took a few sweeps, and stopped lo consider the matter, while he wiped the sweat from his brow. "What's the matter Dan," says the old man: "iMy scythe don't hang right," he answered. His father tinkered it for him, and he tried again; but again made what he sometimes makes durii g a speech in conures,an "emphatic pause" when

the father getting a little fretful, told him to hang it to suit himself. Whereupon the imipient Senator very gravely hung it on a tree, and told his father it hung peifectly to his mind there. Camden Journal.

I got to town about 10 o'clock in the morning, and on enquiring of a voung fellow where sister lived, be told me to ride down street to the corner of green, turn round a printing:ofrjce corner, and after going down street to Mr. 's turn round to my left, there she lived at the very first house on the right hand, fust at the head of street. "Much obliged to you;"" says 1, "now 1 knowjust as well as F did before." The

puppy began laughing; and J was left to enquire again, or find mv wav home. The nxt man I spoke to proved a little more civil; he went with me till he could point out the house, and then wished me good morning. I found sister's folks at breakfast, late as it was ; they seemed glad enough to see me, but looked crooked at mv old boots, and squinted like dragon a r mv leather breeches; and when 1 ask , ed where I should turn the old horse, they went to the door, and pointed

DR. FRANKLIN IN CONGRESS. When the Declaration of Independence, was under the consideration of Congress, there were two or three unlucky expressions in it, which gave offence to tome members. The words 'Scotch and other auxiliaries," excited

the ire of a gentleman or two of that country. Severe strictures on the conduct of the British king, in opposing our vMh for the repeal of I lie law that per

mitted the importation of slaves, were disapproved by some southern gentlemen, whose feelings were not yet matured to the full abhorrence of that hateful trarhek. Although the oU'ensive expressions were immediately yiel ded, those gentlemen continued their depredations on the other parts of the instrument. 1 wag sitting by Dr. Franklin, who perceived that I was not insensible to these mutilations. "1 have made it a rule, (said he) whenever it is in my power, to avoid becoming the draughtsman of papers to be reviewed by a public body. I took my lesson from an incident which I will relate to you. When I was a journeyman pi inter, one of my companions, an apprentice hatter, having hi time, was about to open shop for himself. His first coi.tjern was to have a handsome sign

with a proper inscription. He composed it in these words: 'John Thompson, flutter, makes and seils hats for ready moneyf with the figure of a hat sub

joined. But he thought he would sub

mit it to his friends tor amendment. The first he showed it to, thought the word hatter, tautelogous, because followed bv the words 'makes hats,' which show that he was a hatter. It was struck out. The next observed, that the word 'makes' might be omitted, be

cause his customers would not care

who made the hats if good and to their mind, they would buy, by whomsoever made. He struck it out. A third said he thought the wcrds "for ready money", were useless, as it was not the custom of the place to sell on credit every one who purchases expects to pay. They were parted with. The inscription now stood thus: 'John Thompson sells hats.' 'Sells hats.' says his next friend, 'why nobody will expect you to give them away: what then is the use of that word?' It was stricken out, and 'hats' followed it, this was of course, considered useless, the rather as there was one painted on the board. So his inscription was reduced ultimately, to 'John Thompson,' with the figure of a hat subjoined. American Anecdotes, Late President JetFergoiu

should take into his i thee more than three student. But it so happened that the celebrity of Parsons, at that time a piactising lawyer in Esstx, had gained him more than his due share, and he was accused before the bar of having five students. He denied the charge, but it being clearly proven that there wore in his office live young gentlrmen, aiming at the law, it was matter of curious speculation among his legal brethren how he would get himself ch ar of the accusation. 4Why, gentlemen," he said, "I have positively but three students, and I believe I can prove it lo your satisfaction. It is true

that I have five young men in my office, but then one oj them is a dundy and another a fiddler " J. Y. Constellation.

Caius, a nobleman of Rome, who wag thiire consul, when he had beaten Pyrrhus kirg of Epirus, and drove him out of Italy, divided the land, distributed to every man four acres, and reserved no more for himself, saving, that none ought to be a general, who could not be content with a common soldier's share; and that he would rather rule over rich men, than be rich himself.
