CARRIER'S ADDRESS

TO THE PATRONS OF

THE TERRE-HAUTE JOURNAL.

AN A It J, 1853.

Falront and Friend*! I am with you once more, My mesmge prepared to propound, Though it be not replete with that old mystic lore

Ho pleasing In sense and in sound, Yel I hope that my lay—If perchance you may find Home passage to memory dear— May aid In recoiling again to your mind

Full many a lUrer Xsw YJEAR,

My harp's not attuned to the glory of arms, Not mine It the warrior's song—• The soul stirring numbers of war have no charms

When we sing of the days that are gone The Yiilor of heroes is proudly inscribed On the records of sgvs in vain. If a year, as it rolls far adown Time's swift tide,

When past—is forgotten again.

Nor yet would I sing you the soft song of love, Which fettered Anacreon*# lyrtft Nor wish 'mlJ the bright flowers of passiou to rove,

And sketch them In letters of fireThus might the gay bards of the past have sought fame, And received thus the green buret crownYet how trifling Is glory, how weak is a uame.

When we sing of the days that aro gone.

AH theso had their thousands to sing to their praise, From Byron and Moore ranging down, While the princes of poets breathe them in their lays

They Mllke form the themes for the clown. Hut the past, present, fuflftre, shell all bo my song, And O! I shall deem It most dear, If you give It a sigh for the times that aro gone,

And smile for the lUrrr Nrw YKAK.

The post may be fraught with its pleasures and pains, May be chequered with lights nuf with shades, And still we will look lo the futur^ nguln

With a hope that through time never fades, Though otir pathway through life bo all darkness or light, With timt hope we will still slruggte through, And still 'mid the gloom and the darkness of night,

He clirered by tint prospect In view.

And thus it has been In tho yeur that it gone, Whether sorrow or joy filled the d«y-~ If »orrow, we'd hope for brighter to come,

If joy, that It ne'er might decay. And na we review till the scenes of the pant, And recall all their memories aguiti, The pleasures received, we mti«t ('••el to the Inst,

Far o'ofbulunco the weight of ll.e pulti.

In part It wtts one tilled with sorrow and gloom, A sorrow Ume cannot eiFune For then to tlu silent embrace of the tomb,

Frail mortal's Inst long resting place, They bore the remains of the good mid the great, Where in peace they now sleep their inst sleep— And yet, though wo BOW to tho mnudnte of fate,

O'er their memories long years will we we«p.

WKBSTK* and CLAT 0 how dear were thoie names, And how dear aro their memories yet! Hut they left nt still crowned with their glory and fame,

And their great deeds We ne'er enn forget. No!—as long as the proud flag of (Veeedora shall wave O'er the Cttian preserved by his will, Ho loug shall the memory of Athland** Great Haft

The hearts of his couutry men fill!

And WiitTcmit, the pride of our Suite, is no mors, He has goue whence no traveler returns, And left us in common his loss to deplore,

And to cherish his memory long. But away with sad thoughts—since they esnnot avail In restoring the glory that's gone}— Let our hearts fill with joy a* the NRW Y*A* we l»ail,

And our thought* breathe a happier song!

The past has been fraught with political strife, And politics rttled for the time And the country with "old olfioe seeksrs" was rife,

From the high to the low Ju a line. For President dowu to the fence riswer then, Stood the olKces, open and f«tr, While for each might be seen some hundreds of me*

Ail wishing theto share.

For the small we care not for the great little more, For they all were in one common fight For PrMident, PIMCB came off beet of the score,

CUAT, I..—F8CJ3EKTJ^bS.

'We must disco urge RogpHtrorisUs, husband,' **id Mn. liarlwell. 'or Lucy will be lost.' a 'Married, you mean, my dear.' 'And would not that be the same as lost, Mr. Harlwell? Only think, a daughter of ours married to a shoemaker! You would turn Roger out of doors if it were not for his politics." ,$•-» •Why, wife, I have often beard you praise his industry and excellent character, and be deserves it—for he j# really a very clever, sensible young man.' 'So he is,buiiband, good enough in his way, and at bis trade but can you think him iit company for our Lucy, the only child of a Justice of the Peace?'

Now 'Squirt Hart well happened to be in a mo&t self-complacent mood. He was seated in his deepcushioned, high-backed elbow-chair—(a ponderous machine, containing sufficient materia! to frame modern fashionable cottage)—smoking his afternoon pipe, and watching through the open window ihe operations of his reapers in the broad Held of wheat which covered many an acre of the gently rising ground east of his dwelling. Here were two sources of satisfaction—personal ease and the contemplation of his properly. Then his wife had touched on another most agreeable vein, his magistral dignity. Luckily for Roger, she did n?t urge this to the utmost. 'Squire IJ art well had held the office of Justice of ihe Peace for a number of years, and had, only the week before the commencement of my story, received the additonhonor of 'quorum' to his justiceship. Like all other novelties, this last honor seeemed of far greater importance than hbold commission. Had his wife only said 'Justice of the peace and quorum,' poor Roger would have.been in a lo&t case.

But now, after deliberately shaking the ashes from his pipe, 'Squire Ilartwell sat up in his chair with the bearing of a man who is intending to give impartial judgment, let the matter terminate as il may. •If oar, you are indulging too much pride. Are we every da) complaining of the arbitrary distinctions of power, and crying out against the oppressions of Parliament, and the insolence of the Lords? and shall wo now cast aside, as no account, a vessel which may have not been made unto honor, merely because it has not been fashioned in the same manner as ourselves? No, no,wife such pfide will never do for christians."

And you are willing that our Lucy, AS good and lovely a girl as the Colony of Connecticut can show, should marry a shoemaker?' did not say that, my dear. Surely, I can like Roger, without wanting him for a son-in-law though 1 think Lucy inigm look farther and choose worse.' 'She miylit marry Seth Trumbull.' 'Probably.' •I have heard you say that he was a promising young lawyer.'

Yes,..be promises well but it is performance must make lh« man.* •Then Dr. Walker is dying for her.' •If ho is a good doctor, then he can cure himself.'

But only think of tho difference between him and Roger!' 'Yes Roger is three inches the taller.' "IIow you talk, Mr. Ilartwfll! I never like to hear joking on serious mailers. I think Mr. Walker would be a good match for Lucy. He is gaining practice very fast,, and you know he belongs to a respectable family.' 'Of Tories.' •There now—polities must bebrougM in. I wish I might never hear tho word Tory again.' •1 cah say amen to that wish, my dear. 'Were there no Tories among us, we should soon bring Parliament lo reason. It is l)r. Walker, and such as he who strengthen the hands of government against us, and encourage this constant encroachment on our rights.' 'Pray, what has Dr. Walker done?' 'I don't know what he has done but ho has said that he didn't care about the Stamp Act if he was not obliged to purchase stamps for his bill-papers.' suppose he was only joking.' •But Roger would never have said such a word in any way. He is a true-Whig*, every inch of him and, when the struggle comes, he will bo found iti the front ranks.' 'Daer me, Mr. liarlwell. you do not think our people will ever dare to fight the British soldiers?' •Dare? Yes, indeed—if the Parliament continues to oppress us. And if every man had the spirit of Roger, we should soon beat them, too,* he added, in a lower tone •Well, 1 deelair, you frighten me. $ut cannot believe such lerrible times ever will come and I think people had better attend {o their own private affairs, and let the government alone.* •So Dr. Walker says, my dear.' •And it is my own opinion, my dear sd, ho Winder that 1 should esteem him. think he would make a good husband for Lucy« and, have set my heart oo her marrying well.' Andr Mrs, Hart well slid out of the apartment before her hu« band could reply. She had sufficient sagacity lo know that the longer he defended Roger, the more he would incline to him and #he dreaded lest he would in the glow of his patriotrc feeling, take the resolution to admit the shoemaker as a lover of. Lucy. 'Marrying well!' mused 'Squire Hart well, as he reclined back &»-easy-«hntr 'Marrying well! Ah, that is true woman's, idea a very good one, too Only the mischief is they do not always eft! culate rightly. They oh^se wan wh» is well off in the world, and r* ttfc are likely to do well. Now, ten to one, the last a:!!. ia the «od, prove the best match.*

But never mind—Roger has a bold heart, and it is my Opinion he will win the fair lady. Your father likes him.'

The object of the rivals seemed to be who should first reach the gaie, Dr Walker had the shortest and smQotfeest path but the long and rapid strides of Roger were every.moment diminishing the inequality and, as for the stones and hillocks in the path, he minded thern no more than he would have done floating thistle down.

Dr. Walker increased his speed almost to a run it would not do. Roger's strong grasp has thrown open the gate—he has entered—and with no gentle impetus he sent the ponderous poital back to its station. It shut with a loud bang, just as Walker reached it, btinging him up to a perpendicular as rigid as that of a Prussian grenadier. So closely vis-a-vis was he with the gate, tht4 his nose was slightly grazed with the contact and! partly by thai coulact,,and partly by the rush of air, his best beaver.was thrown from his head, and roUed some distance in the dusty path. ^.Dr. Walker was greatly discomfited, and not a little enraged at the audacity of his rival but he well knew that Roger was riot the man ho could frighten and as for fighting such a fellow, that was oui of'.he question. So the doctor endeavored to oafm and cool himself as best as he might: wiped the perspiration from his brow, and tho dust Irom his large, shining, silver buckles adjusted his dress shookhis hat and, having recovered his composure, walked leisurely forward to pay his roe peels to 'Squire llartwell and the ladies.

CHAP. M.—POLITICS. V-

Freedom, patriotism, and philanthropy are nature's three patents"for making nobleman. The human mind, in which either of these three emotions. viz the lovt of liberty, the love of country, or the love of mankind, is predominant, will be exalted above the herd, whose prevuiling thoughts are conSned to the immediate wants and worldly pursuits of men. But if the three noble feelings named unite and govern in the same mind, be sure that individual will be mighty among his race.— No matter in what station he was born, to what calling he.has

been

Jlow little did Dr- Walker oppreciale the cool philosophy of Roger's address, as thd latter, polilely bowing on his entrance, inquired after his health! Dr. Walker did not reply—did not seem lp have h«ard—but, hastily shaking the 'Squire offered hand, hastened across the apartments, addressed with his smile and compliments the young ladies, and then seating himselt by Mrs. Hart well was soon deeply engaged in conversation on the weather. "Have you heard the news, doctor)' cried the 'Squire nt the top of his voice. •iSowi! what news/' reiterated Walker starting, s..* Why, that Parliament is about lending over »o us ail the East India Company,s stock of tea?'

'They agree in pontics.* 'Better than they do in property, I believe. '^Ah. Lucy! look this way here is one coming from the west, wiio has a host of recommendations to your favor.'

VV'hol Oh! Dr. Walker He writ never gain my favor, I assure you, notwithstanding his host of recommendations.' 'How perverse of you. Lucy not to like a fine accomplished young gentleman who is dying for you! Only consider the thousand advantages of having a physician for a husband. J^ook this way, will you? The full moon is not favorable to reason, and you are already too romantic and besides, there is something beneath the moon may draw your attention.' .'Don't speak so loud, Anna, pray"' ''Areyou afraid Roger will hear?' •No, no bow ridiculous! Lei us go down lo the parlor.' .... During the conversation of the cousins, the two young gentleman named as. approaching were rapidly nearing'each other- The dwelling of'Squire Hartwell was located at the junction 01 three roads, where hose from, the east and west, which were merely paths, united with the great northern highway. The house stood a few rods back from the junclion, having a peach orchard in front, a profusion of rose-bushes around the solid wall, and a high and heavy gate ..which shut put the dusty view pf the street.

'With might and main heart and hand, like a true knight without fear, and without reproaoh— from any but a Tory,'said Roger. •Do you know you are talking treason against the British government?' retonod Walker, angrily, for he saw that Lucy smiled on his rival. *1 know 1 am talking reason, sir,' replied Roger, calmly rising and confronting his antagonist. And I have faith lo believe that 1 shall live to see the day, when in, America., when reason will i\Qt be treason.' .**.4 V-

CHAP. IV.—A NEW LOVER.

Now a great deal depends on potiti&d. The young girl in the ball-toom must appeario a graceful position the lady in society must maintain a fashionable position the statesman before the world must assume a commanding position: but but none of these are more important than the position which a young maintains in the presence of his ladylove. From his position, and the manner in which i'. operates on his feelings, I always prodicl their destiny. If he rattles and prattles, and talks sweet nonsense, and she is delighted with it, they will be a stupid couple, arid propabi quitfr^l before they have been wedded half a year. If. on the contrary he .appears,-dignified and respectful. and soMietifies imrdducos subjects of moral interest and inteliectual improvement, and she appears gratified with this tone of sentiment, or responds with a brilliant quotation or an appropriate remark—-Uiere~I say, is a couple who have a fiir chance of being happy themselves, and who will. propably,shed around them a lustre which shall light the path or others.

When Roger stood before Ills rival in the calm dignity of a patriot, and Lucy's eye showed that she approved his speech as the perfection of manly sentiment, it was all over with Dr. Walker.— He was in a false position. He understood it, too: and, more angry that he had been beaten by a man who was inferior station than that he had lost the lady, he determined to bring another competitor into the field, one who had no political disabilities to surmount, who could agree with the father about tile Whigs, and with the mother about the weather and whose profession, family, fortune, and figure would, he doubted not, gain the victory over Roger, This new candidate for Lucy's favor was Seth Trumbull, the youngl awyer.

The youQg lawyer became a constant visitor at 'Squire llartwell's. It was soon understood by the whole parish that tho match was, as it was termed, made. True, Lucy steadily denied it but at that day it was not the fashion for young ladies to proclaim their engagement as soon as they had said •yes so the denial went for nothing.

Dr. Walker *asser ed confidently everywhere, that it would be a match Mrs. liarlwell did not contradict it. nobody dared question the old/Squire on the subject and. as fur Anna Minot, the dear, teasing little cousin, she always laughed and blushed, and said -like enough'—when tho subject was referred to her. So the maiter was settled. Everybody said that Miss Lucy Hartweil was en-gaged-to lawyer Trumbull.

Everybody said so except Roger he never would say a word about it.'^ The young ladies, generally believed it was a sid disappointment to him, and pitied him exceedingly. But most of the elderiy people, especially, the grave fathers, differed'from this opinion.^'^-They said Roger had no ides of marrying that he was poor and arnbitioas and that such a man never thought of marrying till he had risen in the world. In those piimitive times it was not the fashion to marry for money.

Roger had opened a store in a neighboring town llu worked no more at shoemaking, but pursued his business as though his life depended on his diligence.

She turned towards him: a gleam of moonlight streamed through the leafless boughs of thfbpeach tree, beneath which they were passing, and fell strongly on her upturned face ihe wavy outline of her eyelashes was distinctly to be traced in the shadow of liter fair cheek. Roger thought she was very pale.
