By V. HI. Cole & E. Curtis. VOIL. XI. COMFORT. IM like to have a little farm And leave such scenes as these, Where I could live without a care, Completely at my ease. Id like to have a pleasant house Upon my little farm Airy and cool iu summer time, In w inter close and w arm. IM like to have a little wife I reckon I know who ; IM like to have a little son, A little daughter too. And when they'd upon my knee, IM like a little toy, To give my pretty little girl Another to my boy. IM like to have a little chaise That we might take a ride, IM like a little pony for My boy to jump beside. IM like to have a little cash, And owe no little debts; There's nothing in the world so much Aa easy temper frets. I should not like my wife to shake A bromstick at my head, For then I might begin to think She did not love her NFI); lint I should always like to see Her gentle as a dove; I s-hou!d not like to hear her scold, But be all joy and love. If I had these I would not ask For any thing beside, IM be content thus smoothly through The tedious world to glide. JWy little wife and I, would then No earthly trouble see, Surrounded by our little ones How happy Would we be! In the tempest of life, w hen the waves and the gale, Are around and above, if thy footing should fail, If thine eye should grow dim, and thy caution depart, Look aloft and be firm, and be careless of heart. If the friends, who embraced in prosperity's glow, With a smile for each joy and a tear for each wo, Should betray thee when sorrow like clouds are arrayM, Look aloft to the friendship which shall never fade. Should the visions that hope spreads in light to thine fye, Like the tints of the rainbow, be swifter to fly, Then turn and through tears of repentence regret, Look aloft to the sun that is never to set. Snould they who are dearest, the sons of thy heart; The wife of thy bosom in sorrow depart ; Look aloft from the darkness and dust of the tomb, To the soil "where affection is ever in bloom." And oh! when death conies in his terrors to cast His fears on the future, his poll on the past, In the moment of darknes, with hope in thy heart, And a Emile in thine eye, look aloft and depart. impk03iptit addrt:sskd to a young blue-kyei lady The stars that gem the midnight sky, Lxalt our thoughts to joys above; The beams that lighten from thine eye, Bring heaven to earth, for heaven is love. f.V. 1". Knickerbocker. : mnm mmr.i jw mmwt THE BEDEVILED DOCTOR. Ho was one of the politest men you ever saw; and as he smiled and talked, smiling- and talking as though his heart was brimful of kindness, and his hcadof ideas, you could not have dreamt that at times he was such a mad-man as we all know him to bo. I presume, however, that the truth, that he was now and then so very kind, and so very sensible that he got out of his stock prematurely, and then he was bedeviled indeed. 1 met him in the Park one day, in the most savage Ftate of mind imaginable. His beard was as long and black as a patent shoe-brush, and as stiff; his eye was like a lighthouse under a perfect tempest of brow; his shirt collar was as stiff and upright as a judge, and looked as if it would act the wife's part, and take his cars off; and his coat was so bc-fc-nuffed that the whole street sneezed as he walked through it. . My yes watered as he came up; and when in his medical manner, he seized my arm, making an impatient patient of me, I felt my courage ooze out not at my pores, but my nostrils. I want your advice," said he, and he swept me away into his studio. "She's an angel," said the Doctor, putting on his study coat an old veteran of the ball-room and promenade minus one skirt "She's an angel," said lie, and I'm bedeviled with her!' An angelic effect, truly," sneezed I. "Sir!" resumed the M. D. man "I'm possessed to have that girl." "That is," interjected Ego, "you're possessed to possess her, or have a strong prepossession for her." , . , , "He done," said he "She was destined to be my wife she longs to be my wife and the Grand Sultan shall not prevent her." . "Probably not, but perhaps the father may; now Doctor dear lend mc your car, and I'll put you in the way of being a husband or, what is the same thing put the old man out of the way of your becoming so." "Say on." "You tend the family, I think." "True I own to bo'mg their medical tender, tuo' its a lender subject." "She can lie, can't she!" "How! Speak false! By Galen, sir, I vc a lant,.,.t .n.l will h:ir tio such oucstions. "Nay, dear Doctor, but she can sham tor your Bake, surely; be very sick, for instance, sick abed on the father's side; but quite well and able to run away on your side!" . . I saw his nostril dilate, and the white of Ins eye diminish; it was evident his conscience was easier. "It fchall be done," said he. "What!" asked I, most lamp-like. The scavenger of the human system smiled grimly through his beard. . . , . , "Meet mc here this evening at nine, said he. At nino I was there. The professional slate layon the table and ,1 read thereon: "Come at once to Mr. John Spooner'e. whose daughter is very sick, and wants the Doctor, with a pain in her head."

JLAWREMCIEISIUMM, (I A.) SATURDAY, OCTOBER

"Now, sir,' said the shaven and shorn mediciner, flourishing his lavender handkerchief "Now, my dearest friend, do you engage the father while I snatch the daughter play the ass with the old man, while I play the horse with the young woman, by running away with her." "Done," quoth I, and we started. The back stood at the door. "I shall be out presently," said the groom expectant to the groom aciualand mind you, drive to Judge Smith's, as though you'd a corpse in the coach." We found the old man moping over the grate. "Doctor," he groaned, "I wish you'd cure the gal of these turns, once for all. One 'd most think she was crazy, to make such a mess about a small headache. If she'd the rheumatics like I have, 'twould , be worth while to talk of pain." Who could blame the Doctor for wishing to cure the poor child "once for all" of such a father! "Pray, sir," asked I, as the Doctor followed the i maid from the room, "do you suffer much from the rheumatism!" "Pray, sir," said he, sliding his glassy eye over , me, "who are you!" That's a yankee answer with a vengeance, thought I. "I I, sir I'm a friend of the Doctor's, sir met him in the street, and stepped in, hoping to nave an introduction to you, sir. My name, sir, is Sam. Drown, the dentist's son." And by great wheedling I shoved the old man off into an ocean of talk, where I thought he might lloat ! till morning. Half an hour past by, and suddenly the ancient mariner stopped. "That Doctor's mighty long any how," said he; and he forthwith proceeded to gather up his limbs for an inspection of this intricate case in the back parlor. I saw that I must put out as soon as his back was turned; for, if I waited till it was up, he would shoot me as an auxiliary to the noun substantive that had sought an adjective in his domain, and gently I stepped down stairs. The hack was still at the door. "Haven't you seen the Doctor?" The coachman said, no. I was at a stand. If I ran, my medical friend might Burke me for cowardice; if I stayed, the father might doctor me with a charge of buckshot. As I stood boubting, a man rushed down the stairs; and by my side. 1 felt at that moment as an onion must leel when running to Eeed very slim, all head, and no heart; but my pursuer touched me, not, and shouting to the driver to drive on, threw himself into the corner, ignorant of my presence. Now 1 knew it was not the Doctor, for he wore a cap; and this man had a hat on. Was it the father! Probably it was that enraged old serpent; ana my heart went pit-a-pat, like any baker in town. And away we whirled over the stones; shot round the corners, and shaved by the lamp-posts in a manner most miraculous; men glanced by us, and dimseen houses gleamed foi a moment in the distance presently we stopped. "Where are we," cried my companion. "At Judge Smith's." "Out upon you to Doctor Spooncr's, you fool quick quick; every minute's worth a mine of gold." The astonished driver, who had taken my comrade for the Doctor, cracked his whip, and away we whistled again. The plot began to thicken; where thn lovers were, what the old one was after, what the result would be, and what would be the end of my share in it were queries that made my brain spin and hum again. And still away, away rumbled our carriage as if it meant to prophesy ril-road locomotives; a corner was turned, and we were runnitiir Anwn n narrow street: nrescntiv 1 heard a climiflnrf n enri nk-1 i nrr nf rnrses llOTSCS hoofs and then came - t -0 - terrible shock which tlirevf mc upon the foreseat-anJ lastly, an overthrow. mv fire, on Kicks. licks, broken class a desperate lunge and hatless and bamboozled, I stood in the open air under the sickly gas lights. Two carriages lay prostrate before me, the horses struggling for release then out shot from the other coach a female head, with streaming locks and alas! a streaming nose; and then up started a man, wild, dusty, and like mvself, bcaverless. I knew him at once, though his calm and loverlike air was defunct; it was the Doctor! I had just seized his arm, when a shout from behind turned us upon a pivot half disengaged from the hack from which I had eloped, appeared the venerable and most irrascible form of John Spooncr. The lady shrieked anew, the watchman wound his rattle windows were up doors flew openthe dogs howled; it was no time for delay, and seizing again the Doctor's arm, I hurried him through an infinity of streets. "And now," cried I, "explain;' and I threw my battered clay tenement into an arm-chair. He did so: they had mistaken coaches; the elopers had driven to the Uev. Robert Spooner's in John's coach, and he to Judge Smith's in their's; each had discovered his error, and in the rush to rectify it, had met and the plot had been unmasked. "And what next!" "I must go to the springs and recruit." I engaged his passage for the next morning. It was night and I was walking up Broadway when, to my horror, I saw my friend with two nonmedical attendants from the police office, crawling He had been arrested for an at tempt to kidnap a patient at the point of death, with a view to dissection. I obtained an interview with him. "And who, j I asked, "is to prove this absurd charge!" "The patient herself." "Ann Spooner!" "The same." I was thunderstruck; but at his request, undertook the cause, and of course gained it; chiefly by my eloquence and legal knowledge partly from the total want of proof. But the Doctor could not withstand the subsequent slow fever of ridicule. To be prosecuted for such a crime by his Dulcmea to fall in love at first sight run away in a hackney coach upset in the mud give tho lady a bloody nose, and be made a Burker in revenge was too much. He moved into the country. Two years after I saw him again; he was a bachelor still; fancy free to the length of the chain of mortality and I suspect he will never again suffer himself to bo bedeviled by any angeior mem Cin.

"I owe my success in ;nvr tn vaii." said a stationer to a papermaker, as they were settling a largo account; but lt mo nsk- how .1 inn of vour caution came to give credit so freely to a beginner with my slender moans!" 'Hprsiise." rpnlied the paper maker, "at whatever hour in tho morning I passed to mybusiness, I observed you without your coat at yours. rr.p.ARAME KiTRAnnntxABv.

A letter from a friend at Concord Informs us that the Centennial Celebration on Saturday was in every way grand and satisfactory.

It will be seen from the following re marks of the Montreal Vindicator, that already are the Canadians talking of a separation from England, and nn union with the United States : "Since the Tory newspapers discuss, and Tory coteries talk so freely of a separation from England, and connection with the tjnited States, tho Vindicator may notice the subject without being charged with sedition. "We have already said that a foreign yoke, al though lined with velvet, sits not easy on the necks of native born Americans,nnd that European bondage will be endured in America no longer than it is convenient. We now add that the Western hemisphere is too far advanced in civilization, wealth, and population, to owe obedience to tho dictates of the antiquated Eastern world. " Our sniritsarc roused at the thought, and we experience a feelin" of debasement in reflecting that we are tho last among the inhabitants of this continent to declare our capability of governing ourselves, disenthralled from tho clumsy operations of foreign direction. The time worn principles of ancient kingdoms correspond not with the 'fresh, the iair, tho ever free principles, that govern and control men in this bright and beautiful world of the West. Even the emigrant of yesterday finds tho vallies of the West as green, the hills as wild, and the skies as bright as those that adorned his native land. An affection for Europe has in a great measure ceased to be a national feeling. Why indeed should the children of America regard the soil or the flags-of Europe with any more affection than the children of Europe regard the soil of the easternmost parts of Asia? Tho march of the world is Westward. "WTe. speak of this subject not as one connected with the present politics of the day, but as an event that appears approaching in the .course of human affairs." Liberia. Wre are pleased to find that the State of Tennessee has passed an act to encourage the emigration offree persons of color to tho Country of their Fathers, where they may enjoy all the blessings of a free Government, in preference to remaining here, where they must always be considered an inferior and degraded Class. Tennessee has done this, by simply providing that ten dollars be paid to the American Colonisation Society, or any other, for every free person ofcolor which they shall remove fiom that State to a Colony in Africa provided for their reception. We shall be glad to hear that all the Southern States follow tho example thus set them; but as it is estimated that every adult emigrant carried to Liberia, including his maintenance for six months in the Colony, costs sixty dollars, it would m proper that the State of which sucb4cmigrant formed a part might sustain a larger portion than onesixth of this expense. In the year 1833, Virginia passed an act allowing, we believe, twenty-eight dollars for the removal of each free emigrant from that State to Liberia; but the act provided that the emigrant should have been free at the time the law passed. The consequence has been, that few claims have been made on tho Treasurer. Good policy, it would seem, to mate the provision" effective, would extend it to all freo emigrants. Nat. Int. Shocking Murder. We have various verbal accounts of a most fiendish outrage committed in Randolph, in Orange county, a few days since, all of which concur substantially in the following partiA Mr Peak, between twenty and thirty years ofarp, who resided with his father, an elderly gentleman, in low circumstances, was engaged to a vouut lady in the vicinity, and was to have been married in a few days. His mother-in-law was opposed to the union, and the contemplated rest-.l.-vnort tC i!ir mil nle with the young man's parents. One morning last week the old lady got breakfast for the family Ihe principal dish ot wlucn consisieu of "harsh." Her husband, Jus son, ana two wujjuters, eat or it, the son quite Irccly; ana soon nu they all became sick.

On his arrival it was soon asceriiiiuuu wai m the tumbler, were highly charged with arsenic. The young man grew worse rapidly, and finding that he could not be relieved, mado his will, bequeathing all his property about $1,500 to his intended wife, and died before night. It is said tho old gentleman has since died, and the recovery of one of the girls was considered doubtful. On being arrested and examined, Mrs P. confessed her crime, and was committed to jail ff trial in December next. Such horrible attrocU.cs occur but seldom in our Slate. Woodstock It . Cour.
