Where the pools are bright and deep, Where the gray trout lies asleep, Up the river and o'er the lea, That's the way for Billy and meWhere the blackbird sings the latest, Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest, Where the nestlings chirp and flee, That's the way for Billy and me. Where the mowers mow the cleanest, Where the hay lies thick and greenest, There to trace the homeward bee, That's the way for Billy and me. Where the hazel hank is steepest, Where the shadow falls the deepest, Where the clustering nuts fall free, That's the way for Billy and me. Why the boys should drive away Little sweet maidens from the play. Or love to banter and fight so well, That's the thing I never could tell. But this I know, I love to play. Through the meadow, among the hay ; Up the water and o'er the lea, That's the way for Billy and me.

From the Baltimore Minerva - The Turkey's JLeg. 'Tis necessity, ' To which the gods must yield, and I obey, Till I redeem it by some g!oriou? way. 9ieaumont & Fletcher. A strange title for a pathetic story, Mr. bailor yet, I assume it for a very good reason; stories that have odd titles are very apt to be read had I neaueu mine, "iuorunea rriae' perhaps it would stand a fair chance of passing into oblivion. I once met with as noble a genius as was ever moulded out of clay; he was all heart and soul he loved his friends, pitied his enemies, and had a half of his little store always ready for a fellow creature in distress. Such choice spirits are rare commodities nowadays in this world of bustle and speculation; when they are met with, we generally find them to possess a counteracting passion for where is the human being that is all perfection? Edgar Sinclair (this is as good a name as any) was of an ancient and honorable family; his parent?, though possessing but a very limited fortune, instilled into their son the same arisfocratical principle?, they had inherited from their ancestors. He received a splendid education, the expenses of which almost impoverished his father, and when he entered the world he was obliged to select a profession whereby he could obtain a livelihood. He chose the law, as giving a free scope to hu powers of eloquence. A brilliant intellect will not long remain in obscurity; the genius and wit of Edgar made him friends, and his poverty and excessive pride were soon lost in the admiration his associates betrayed for his high intellectual qualities. He became an accomplished poet, his songs were sung by romantic little misses with delight hi3 odes were recited on public occasions, and his bon mots even attributed to Dean Swift, Ben Johnson, Sheridan, &c. for no one ever thought of Joe Miller. Edgar with all his strength of mind and nobleness of nature was weak enough to fall in love and with an amiable and lovely girl too, who possessed every recommendation a poet could wish; a man of the world might say she wanted one thing money. The story of their loves would be nothing uncommon, so I shall pass all thst over. The affection was mutual, and so they got married in the usual way of forming a co partnership. Edgar Sinclair was, to use his own expression, born under an unlucky star with an iron spoon in his mouth. He loved his wife dearly, as all husbands should do, and be paid dearly for his love, for she was too lovely a girl to be snubbed at, and he too proud to allow her to appear a jot behind others in point of fashion. Things went on for a while swimmingly, for Edgar had friends who would help him out of difficulties. But in the course of time, he was reduced to a minus quantity: i.e. he owed more than he had a prospect of paying. To confess poverty isto all men a task; to him it wa3 a degradation his proud nature scorned it he sold out all he had paid what he could, and left the rest to chance. His wife very wisely accommodated her desires to her husband's means, and he loved her ten times more for it. Frequently they bad to go without a dinner for the want of the read to pay the butcher and the baker such is the fate of genius. The ready wit and humor of Edgar gave him a passport to the first circles; ior many a purse-prouu personage, while he loves to mark the brightest scintillations of genius, little recks the grief that is cracking the heart-strings nf the being from whom they eminate. He received an invitation from a Southern nabob to dine, which va?, of course, accepted. Flis wife asked b;m, as he drcited himself for the feast with au

appetite well whetted, if he would thiijkofAir while' he pat at the sumptuous table? The hint wr.s broad enough: Edgr kissed her care-won: cheeks, while ajblu?h mantled his own, and told her he would not forget her. All things went on smoothly south erners are noble hosts, they know well how to cater for hungry guests. The table was richly Indened with viands of various kinds. Edgir's jokes give a zest to the whole, and, had it not been for one malapropos, the company might have separated grateful to the host and delighted with the humorist. But there was mortification in store for Edgar, and, in fact for the whole company. As the champaign was going its merry rounds, and as all hearts was rife

with glee, the steward informed the host that two of his massy table spoons were missing, and, that the waiters had all been searched, and that the articles could not be found. A gentleman im mediately proposed that each one pre sent should be searched but the host most positively declined he had too much respect for bis friends he could not for a moment suspect any gentleman present. But it would not do, the company insisted on being searched, and the host proceeded reluctantly to the task. After examining the pockets of several, he came to Edgar, on whose visage the white and red might be seen alternately coming and going. "Excuse me, Mr. Sinclair but it is the wish of the company." "I I I cannot be searched, Mr. B " retorted Edgar, coloring highly, "my standing in society should place me above suspicion and I assure you, on my honor as a gentle man, I have not got the spoons. A slight murmur went round the taII 1 1 Tl oie, ana mr. 15 seemed very much agitated. "O! come, come Sin clair," said a gentleman, "you certain ly would not ba singular in this case turn your pockets inside out." "When I need your advice, sir, I shall ask it," replied Edgar, coloring still more deeply "I cannot submit to the search it is a thine I am not used to though I assure you all, gentlemen, on my honor, I know nothing of the spoons." All entreaties were unavailing, Edger would not allow his pockets to be ouched; and he therefore stood ac cused of theft! Taking his hat and i a lit; , auu di.nosi uursiiijg over IJle wounded pride, though he endeavoured with all his might not to expose the contest of feeling raging in his bosom, he walked firmly to the door, and bowing to the company, retired. When he entered the street his feelings found vent, and he burst into tears his honor stigmatized his reputation ruined forever. His wife received hun with her usual kindness; but he heeded her not; he retired to bed and pissed a night more of phrenzy than of repose. In the morning he received a note from Mr. B , desiring his immediate attendance, at his house. Thith er Edgar went, conscious of hU innocence, and piepared to divulge his secret. "Tell mc," said Mr. B , taking him kindly by the hand, "tell me sincerely, why you refused to be searched last evening, when the company proposed it? I did not believe you guilty at the time, and my belief has since been verified the spoons were thrown into the yard by a careless servant, who shook the cloth without examining it. Speak to me with confidence, I have ever thought you an honorable man." After several struggles between pride and duty, Edgar replied "Your disinterested generosity, sir, commands my admiration; and I am not ashamed to confess to you that I have abused your liberality. I arn poor, si r miserably poor at yrur table I sated myself with luxuries I thought of my wife, who had not had a dinner for two days. A tempting leg of a turkey Jay on the dish, I though it no harm, you might have given it to your dogs so I slily slipped it into my handkerchief, and deposited it in my pocket. Judge of my mortification, sir, when the gentlemen proposed that we should be searched for tho spoons my poverty and meanness to be exposed it was more than my pride would bear, and I refused for, I would rather be accused of robbing the mail, than be guilty of embezzling the left leg of a turkey. From the Baltimore Gazette. ANECDOTES OF STEPHEN GIRARD . The following anecdo'es respecting the lafe Stephen Girard, are now going the rounds of the newspapers, and are characterestic of the man. A young sailrnaker of Philadelphia called on Mr. Girard for the purpose of buying a large quantity of Duck, which he wished to make up into sails. He was a stranger to Mr. G. and was not prepared to advance the cash for the article he wanted: of course Mr. G. told him he must procure some responsible name as surety on his note. The sailrnaker agreed to the proposal, and

?aid, "I will return in a few minutes, Mr. Girard, with a note fixed according to your request, and will you lend rne a hand cart, to convey the canvass to my sail-loft?" "Certainly, sir; but do you intend to cart it down yourself?" "Yes I do, to be sure." "But why do that why not get some poor man to do it for you?" "Because," replied the sailrnaker, "if I do it myself, I shall save a shilling." "Very well, sir, you shall have my cart, and I will take your note without an endorser." Mr. Girard one day asked a truckrmn in his employ, why he did not build himself a house, to which he replied that he was too poor having a numerous farr.ily dependent upon him. 'Well,' said he "follow my directions and you will be able. This morning there is a cargo

sale of molasses, on wharf; go and buy the whole lot, I will become surety for the payment." The man went accordingly , and on the molasses being put up, one hogshead or the whole lot, started at a very low rate. The bystanders who were all wholesale dealers, supposing that the man only wanted one hogshead, would not bid upon him, it was accordingly struck off. Much to their surprise, he tc!d the auctioneer he would take the whole lot, naming his endorser, and before he left the spot, disposed of his bargain at an advance sufficient to build him a snug tenement. From the People's Friend and Gazette. REMIXISCE.XCE OF ADAM KLEJJBE. THE LAST OF THE JOCKEY MEN. I knew him well; he was turned of fifty his dark, keen eye appeard to have lost but little of its natural fire his complexion was dark, and his features variable as the Auro ra Boreali?, but always at his control. He was under the middle-size, natural ly straight, though he walked a little stooped and lame from habit. He possessed a peculiar faculty of relaxing his features and changing the lively piercing expression of his eyes into that kind of vacant stare which usually denotes a lack of understanding. Standing one day near a window in a bar room his face hanging apparently very loose upon him, and the tobacco juice leaking, drop after drop, from the corner of his mouth he was constantly at short intervals, pulling a watch from his fob, and regarding it with a degree of satisfaction; occasionally turning his face towards a couple of travellers wbo were sitting by the fire in the same room as if he wished thpm to know ho possessed a watch and still trying to conceal that wish. One of the travellers (Judgo N from the South,) said to his companion, "what a pitiful object! Let us see what alue he sets upon his watch;" whereupon, taking a gold repeater from his own pocket, he called Kleibe to him and asked him how he would swap watches. "Mine Cot! think I v-'ould kif mine seelfer vatch for voiir rrns? v.r.l " Your watch hv-.k- ilka very goci how cme one," said Judge N ; you by it?' "Then I shall show you how I got 'em," returned Kleibe, presenting an old pack of cards; "pull out that leetle paper and see vat's on 'em." This Judge N did merely to gratify him, and put it into the pack agun. After shufllin them in a most awkward manner, Kleibe again presented the pack to he cut, which was also done by the Judge. "Now I'll bet mine 6eelver vatch upon your pras un, dis top cart is de Jack o1 trumps.1 "What do you mean hy the Jack of trumps?" asked Judge N . "1 mean so exactly as I say I vill pet my seelver vatch pon your pras un, dis top cart is de Jack o' shpades." "Then you would loose your watch you are mistaken in the card," said the Judge; for in this apparent anxiety and carelessness, the other kept slipping the card in question so as to give him a pretty fair view of its face which discovered it to be diamonds instead of spades. kleibe insisted that he was right. "I swear by the wale wat made Jonas eat, dis is no mistake." Placing his gold watch on a chair where the jocky had already deposited hi?, beside which he had also laid the cards, "I will convince you," said Judge N "how certainly you would lose your watch." "Well then, yu turn 'em up," said Kleibe, carefully taking hold of the chains of both watches. Judge N turned the card and sure enough, it was the Jack of spades! kBy Heavens the fellow has won ill" he exclaimed, while our hero danced a-ay to the other end of the room to examine his prize. "Come back here and tell me what you will take for that brass watch," said Judge N recovering Irom a momentary surprise. "I exactly cant tell till I examine Vm firjt,' returned the j-cky; pressing the stem to make it repeat; then opening it, he moved a spring that caused it to repeal in a diHerem manner.

The Judge sat on nettles: Must I suffer that fellow to finger my watch which I never allowed a friend to open?" "You forgot joursrll it is do! yours," said his companion, hardly ahle to restrain his mi th. His Honor Lit his lip in vexation. "Come here, I gar, and tell me what you w ill take for thUirs watch." Kleibe walked towards lam with a mein that would well become a man ol better business romarkir.g, "Sir, this is an excellent watch, the chain too i very valuable I perceive each link is le.ter composing probably tu name; you can have ii lor lveniy five dollars." The money was paid and the watch restored; after which the j tky (alltd for wine, and said, turning to the Judge "1 alwajs treat my friends

A short and comprehensive Sermon from the Portsmouth Journal. Newspaper Borrozzers Reader, if you borrow this paper send it right back as you may feel cheap alter you have tinished this paragraph. If the tailor sends a mzc coat home to you, would you think your neighbor fair in his request for the first use of it ? If the baker leaves you a hot loaj, should you like to lend it, and have it returned cold, with the corners knawed off If the penny-post leaves you a letter on your counter should you think it right in your neighbor to seize it, before vou had time to read it, totally a load of potatpes on it, and thank you for the use of it some hours after, should he not be so unfortunate as to loose it? It these things are not right then it is not right to borrozo a newspaper on the day that it is published. We have received a request from one of our subscribers to discontinue his paper for the present, for no other reason than that he is plagued by borrowers. We presume that they are not such persons as he can very well deny the use of the paper. So it is zcith you, borrozcer, whoever you are! The person who lent you this, altho' he apparently did it with much pleasure, wished that you would take the paper youself, and not take h is nezv coa f, hot loaf and letter, i before he has made lull use ot them himself. 'Lovely Women.' We said in the last Mail, 'More "Lovely Women," and morn Masonry very soon."' But little did we think that on the same day we should have witnessed ?uch a scene as we did at the Court House in Hagerstown. A good looking young man was put upon trial on a criminal accusation, presently, a lady, full of youth and be uity, was seen in the Court House, with a green calash ai.d went up and took a seat near the prisoner. Something M as said about her being present, and a friend told her she had better leave the Court House; but with tears in her eyes, she said the would rather stay, one remained unui one of his counsel gave her a hint that she had better retire, she did so, and too!? her stand in the dark recess under the Judge's seat and remained there until the jury had retired, when after much persuasion, she went to a private room in an adjoining Hotel. There die remained with a few of her own sex, trembling 'with hope and fear,' until the Jury came down. A friend went to tell her the result of 'Not Guilty,' but remained silent. k0h! it is all over, she said. In a moment after the door flew open and she was in her husband's arms, and gave vent to her joy in a fiood of tears. This scene brought to our memory the beautiful song 'Come rest on this bosom my own striken deer.' Here was 'Lovely Woman,' saying in language more powerful than words, I know not, I ask not if guilt's in thy heart, I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art.'

We loved lLovely Woman1 enough to, gainsiy, or deny the bill aforesaid, the before, but this scene showed her to us same will bs taUen as confessed, and the matin a new aspect we had read reman- J fers therein prayed for, decreed accordingly.
