Song or Jlarioia's Hen. BY .WILLIAM C. BRYAXT. The exploits of General Fr.Ascis Mabtojt, the 'famous partisan warrior of South Carolina, form an inteiesting portion of the annals of the American Revolution. The British troops wee s lurrassed by the irregula"? warfare which he kept up at the head of a few darling followers, that they sent an officer to remonstrate with him for not coming into the open field and fighting-, to use their expression, ,4hke a gentleman and a christian." Oar band is few, but true and tried, Our leader frank and bold: The British soldier trembles When Marion's name is told. Our fortress is the good green wood, Ojv tent the cypress tree; We know the forest round us, . As seamen know the sea. We know its walls of thorny vines, Its gl ides of reedy grass, Its safe and silent islands Within the dark morass. Wo to the English soldiery Tint little dread us near! On them shall light, at midnight, xV strange and sudden fear: When waking to their tents on fire, They grasp their arms in vain, And they who stand to face us Are beat to earth again ; And they who fly in terror, deem A mighty host behind And hear the tramp of thousands Upon the hallow wind. Then sweet the hour that brings release From danger and from toil: We talk the battle over, And share the battle's spoil, The woodland rings with laugh and shout, As if a hunt were up, And woodland flowers are gathered To crown the soldier's cup. With merry songs we mock the wind That in the pine-top grieves; And slumber long and sweetly, On beds of oaken leaves. Well knows the fair and friendly moon The band that Marion leads The glitter of their rifles, The scampering of their steeds. 'Tis life cur fiery barbs to guide Across the moonlit plains; 'Tis life to feel the night wind That lifts their tossing manes. A moment in the British camp A moment and away Back to the pathless forest, Before the peep of day. Grave men there are by broad Santee, Grave men with hoary hairs, Their hearts are all with Marion, For Marion are their payers. And lovely hdies greet our band, With kindliest welcoming, With smiles like those of summer, And tears like those of spring, For them we wear these trusty aims, And lay them down no more, Till we have driven the Briton, Forever, from our shore. LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. BY WILLIAM LECGET. The birds when winter shades the sky, Fly o'er the sea awav; Where laughing isles in sunshine lie, And summer breezes play. And thus the friends that flutter near, While fortune's sun is warm, Are startled if a cloud appear, And fly before the storm. But when from winter's howling plains Each other warbler's past, Tiie little snow-bird still remains, And chirps midst the blast. Love, like that bird, when friendships throng With fortune's sun depart, Still lingers with its cheerful song, And nestles on the heart. A Knotty Case. A Mr. Henson, a shoemaker, who resided at Woodend, near where the village house is now kept, was not remarkable for the acuteness of his mental perceptions. He kept for sale in the front part of his shop, a few little matters most called for by the neighbors; such as beer, candles, fruit, bread, &c. One morning a wag stepped in, and purchased a bottle of beer. lie stood talking a few minutes, and finally said he was sorry he had purchased the beer, and requested Mr. Henson to exchange it for a loaf of bread, as the price was the same. To this the worthy cordwainer readily assented; the wag took the loaf and eat it while in the shop. As he was going out, the vender hesitatingly reminded him that he had not paid him for the bread. "Certainly I have paid for the bread, I gave you the beer for it.' "But, then, you haven't paid me for the beer." "I didn't take the beer. It is before you at this moment." The worthy Crispin was astonished. TTp looked sedately and rubbed his forehead; but all to no purpose; the case was still a mystery. "True," said he, "you gave me the bottle cf beer for the bread, and as I still have the bottle of beer I can't demand pay for that, but I had both one is now gone, and I have received no money." He then again gravely considered the matter, and finally abruptly broke out with this conclusion: "Sdeath! take it neighbor, it is just as you say, but I'll be darned if I can see into it." Lynn Messenger. A novel case of slavery was lately brought lefcre the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. A Mrs. Howard, a lady who h:d resided in the Lland of Cuba, was served with a habet:? corpus writ, respecting a coI:rtd boy in her family whom she had brought from Havana, end whom she mtend-

cd taking back. The object was to prevent his returning with her. Mrs. Howard, in answer to the writ, stated that the boy was her servant, and that he was free, and she did not claim him 3S her slave. The counsel for prosecution said that, on her arrival at the Havana, it was intended to make him a slave again, notwithstanding that, by the laws of Massachusetts he was free, and prayed the Court to appoints Guardian for the boy. Chief Justice Shaw, after examining the boy privately, ascertained that it was his own desire to go with Mrs. Howard, delivered his opinion, that as she had in writing, disclaimed retaining him as a slave, she could not afterwards deprive him of his freedom, in Havana, and consequently it was not necessary for the Court to appoint a guardian and leaving it optional with the boy to go or not with Mrs. Howard.

f DESTITUTION AND GUERRIERE. An anecdote relating to the capture of the Guerriere has lately gone the rounds of the papers, which stated to have been from an unquestionable source, and characteristic of the coolness, prudence, and superior skill of the gallant American commander. The anecdote is doubtless correct in each important particular, although we have often heard it related with some additions and slight variations, by a person who was on board the Constitution when the occurrence took place. His version was as follows: The Guerriere was lying too. The Constitution was leisurely bearing down upon the enemy under her topsails every man was at his respective station, and all on board were eager for the contest, when the Guerriere commenced the action at long shot. Commodore Hull gave a peremptory order to his officers not to apply a single match until he gave the word. In a few minutes a forty-two-pounder from the Guerriere took effect, and killed and wounded some of our brave tars. Lieu. Morris immediately left his station on gun-deck to report the same to the Commodore ; and requested permission to return the fire, as the men were very anxious to engage the enemv. Olr. Morris,' was the commodore's reply, 'are you ready for action on the gun-deck.' 'Yes, sir.' 'Well keep so but do'nt let a gun be fired 'till I give the word.' In a few moments Mr. Morris again appeared and stated that he could with difficulty restrain the men from giving the enemy a broadside, so anxious were they to commence the engagement. 'Mr. Morris,' reiterated the Commodore, intently gazing on the English frigate 'are you ready for action on the gun-deck." 'Yes, Sir and it is impossible for me any longer to restrain the man from firing on the foe. Their passions are wrought up to the highest possible pitch of excitement. Several of our bravest seamen are already killed and wounded' 'Keep cool Mr. Morris keep cool. See all prepared, and do not suffer a gun to be fired 'till I give the word.' The gallant Lieutenant went below. In a few minutes the vessels having neared each other to within pistol shot distance Mr. Morris was sent for to appear on the quarter deck. 'Are you all ready for action, Mr. Morris,' again demanded the Commodore. 'We arc all ready, sir and the men are uttering horrid imprecations because they are not suffered to return the lire of the enemy.' 'FIRE then, in God's nameP shouted the Commodore in a voice of thunder. It is added, that he wore at the time a pair of nankeen tights and he accompanied this soul-cheering order with such a tremendous stamp on the deck with his right foot that the unfortunate pantaloons were split open from the knee to the waist band. The conduct of Dacres, before and during the action, was such as might have been expected from a brave and generous enemy. Mr. Reed a young man belonging to Brewster, Mass, at present a respectable ship master out of Boston, had been pressed on board the Guerriere, a few weeks previous to the engagement. When the Constitution was bearing down in such gallant style, and it became evident that a severe action with an American frigate was incvitable, young Reed left his station and proceeded to the quarter deck, and respectfully but firmly represented to Capt. Dacres, that he was an American citizen, who had been unjustly detained on board the English frigate, that he had hitherto faithfully performed the duties which were assigned him, and that it could not reasonably be expected that he would fight against his countrymen he therefore begged leave to decline the honor of participating in the engagement. The English Captain frankly told him that he appreciated his patriotic feelings that he did not wish the Americans on board to use arms against their countrymen, and he subsequently ordered them all into the cock-pit, to render assistance to the surgeon, if it be j necessary Reed left the spar-deck after me uuerncre had commenced action. Several shot were known to have taken effect, but the Constitution had not yet fired a gun much to the amusement of the British tars, who predicted that the enemy would bo taken without any resistance, with the exception of a veteran man-of-war's-man, who was in the battle of Nile, who gruffly observed, with a significant shake of the head 'That d d Yankee knows what he's about.' A few moments passed away, and the Constitution poured in her tremendous broadside every gun was double shotted and well pointed, and the effect which it had on the enemy can hardly be conceived, Mistimed jests and jeers at the imperturbable, but harmless Yankees, gave place to the groans of the wounded and dying, and sixteen pcor mutilated wretches were tumbled

down into the cock-pit, from the edicts of the 1st broad side! Dacres fought as long a3 a spar was standing and a gun could be brought to bear upon the enemy, but when his masts were completely swept away, his officers and men mostly killed and wounded, encumbering the decks; while the scuppers were streaming with gore; when the Guerriere, which a few hours before was justly considered one of the most splendid specimens of naval architecture which belonged to the British navy, lay on the water an unsightly, unmanageable mass when he had no longer the stump of a mast left from which to display the proud flag of his country, the gallant Briton began to think that he had got into an ugly scrape from which he could not possibly extricate himself. He could no longer roppose even a feeble resistance to his more fortunate foe. Capt. Hull sent an officer to take possession of the Guerriere. When he arrived

along-side, he demanded of the commander of the English frigate, if he had struck. Dacres was extremely reluctant to make this concession in plain terms, with a shrewdness which would have done honor to a Yankee, endeavored to evade the question. 'I do not know that it would be prudent to continue the engagement any longer,' said he. 'Do I understand you to say that you have struck?' inquired the American Lieut. 'Not precisely,' returned Dacres, 'but I don't know that it will be- worth while to fight any longer.' 'If you think it advisable, I will return aboard,' replied the Yankee, 'and we will resume the engagement.' 'Why, I am pretty much hors de combat already' said Dacres 'I have hardly men enough left to work a gun, and my ship is in a sinking condition.' 'I wish to know sir,' peremptorily de manded the American officer, 'whether I am to consider you as a prisoner of war, or an enemy. I have no time for further parley.' 'I believe there is no other alternative. If I could right longer I would with pleasure but I must surrender myself a prisoner of war'.' Exeter News Letter. Weeping. Young women are full of tears They will weep as bittely for the loss of a new dress as for an old lover. They will weep for any thing or nothing, They will scold you to death for tearing a new gown, and weep for spite that they cannot be revenged on you. They will play the coqutte in your presence and weep when you are absent. They will weep because they cannot go to a ball or to a tea party, or because their parents will not permit them to run away with a blackguard; they will weep because they cannot have every thing in their own way, married women weep to conquer. Tears are the most potent arms of matrimonial warfare. If a gruff husband has abused his wife she weeps he relents and promises better behaviour. How many men have gone to bed in wrath ; c risen in the morning quite subdued with tears, and a curtain lecture ? Women weep to get hold of their husbands secrets, and they also weep when their own are revealed. They weep through pride, through vanity, through folly, through cunning and through weakness. They will weep for a husband's misfortunes, while they scold himself. A woman will weep over the dead body of her husband, while her vanities will ask her neighbors how she is fitted with her mournings. She weeps for one husband that she may get another. The "widow of Ephesus," bedewed the grave of her spouse with or.c eye, while she squinted love to a young soldier with the ether. Extract of a modern Dictionary.

Origin of the Turkish Crescent. When Philip of Macedon approached by night with his troops to scale the walls of Byzantium, the moon shone out and disclosed his design to the enemy, who vigorously repulsed him. The crescent was afterwards adopted as the favorite badge of the city. When the Turks took Bizantium, they found the crecsent in every public place, and believing it to possess some magic power, they adopted it themselves. AJcerman's Numismatic Manual. Gahinism. The spectacle was truly horrific. When I entered the room where the experiments were to take place, the body of a man named Carter, which had been cut down from the gallows scarce half an hour, was lying on the table; and the cap being removed, his frightful features, distorted with the agonies of suffocation, were visible. The crime he had been hanged for was murder; and a brawny, desperate ruffian he looked! None of his clothes were removed. He wore a fustian jacket, and drab knee breeches. The first time that the galvantic shock was conveyed to h;m will never, I dare say, be forgotten by any present. We all shrank from the table in consternation, with the momentary belief that wo positively brought the man back to life, for he suddenly sprang up into a .sitting posture his arms waved widely the color rushed into his cheeks his lips were drawn apart, so as to show all his teeth, and his eyes gl tr-

eJ at us with apparent fury. One young man, a medical student, shrieked violently, and was carried out in a swoon. One gentleman present, who happened to be nearest to the upper part of the body, was almost knocked down with the violent blow he received from the left arm. It was some time before any of us could resume our experiments. Diary of a Physician.
