Kent accomplished Ins work to the satisfaction of nil; and promising his I friend, in the most solemn manner, that lie would never again touch the destroyer, he was paid tho sum agreed upon. lie himself new clothing, mid ap- ’ pcared like a new man atiain. ‘Hope, once more, revived in the Uoai ts of tho ; c who were his sincere frinds and well wishenj, Butin an evil hour ho drank again, and then gave himself up to revel and riot. .Many endeavored to save him, but it was loo late —loo late; the chon Is of the fiery fiend had bound him on the alter of sacrifice.

•'At mine un wort hi ness, that dare not t-frer j What 1 dc.rire tugive; and much less lake J What I shall die to want. The trembling, wen ping beauty, blushing through her tears, nu t yet half contiding, stands before tre noble youth her heart is douting on, with that maiden innocence ami loveliness that the groat poet has given her; and a octter rendering of the passage I never beheld, though the subject has been a favorite one with many of our best artists.

' [Ftota Putnam’s Migatine. ■ . BESSIE. Bessie wears a gown of red. ; A homespun gown and apron ntue; She has no hat upon her head, And her wee brown feet are without a shoe, Bessie has hair like the sunsets gold. And her eyes were born from thedeep blue sea: In theirdeplhs is a story laid; I lore Bessie, and the lores me.

Mnddetica ami goaded on by the demon Rum, be struck, in bis drunken revel, one of those who had been instrumental m bringing him to that fearful precipice, and who was then as drunk as himself. A light-ensued; the keeper of that 'mantrap* ordered them out, and lighting their way to the door, Kent was thrown; when his fiendish antagonist seized him by the feet and dragged him down the steps, — Poor Kent was killed!**

Another of his productions which much interested mo, was "A Mother teaching her Child his Evening Prayer.” Bowed by her Milo with clasped hands, his eyes are fixed in a dreamy gaze upon the features of a sleeping babe lying in his mother's lap; the kneeling boy is evidently thinking more of his little brother, than of what his mother is saying. We fancy we liMir him repeating, mechanic-ally,-the words which arc ottered for him, while his thoughts and loathful imagination arc in that land of which he has heard, and where his parents has told him Ins little sister has gone; and looking upon the sleeping babe, he wonders if he loo will go and be an angel. 1 could not look upon the dreaming face without shedding tears for the days of innocence gone by in my Own life; and without weeping, that the heart that had conceived, and the hand that had embodied so much innocence and sweetness should ever be contaminated by sin, and that sin intemperance. , .

Know Noth!listsm. Some two weeks ago an article copied from the Jmmal and Messenger, the Baptist paper of Cincinnati, was extensively circulated in this region, giving the Know Nothings "Jessy.” As an offset to that, wo copy the following from the same paper, of March 29. Road it,,and decide npou the-merits of the two articles:

Bno. Datcdelder:—A communication in your paper of ilia 9th mst., by a "Sister” on "Know Noihingism" suggested a few thoughts to my own mind, which I place at your disposal. It is not my intention to enter into the arena of public discussion; especially upon a political subject. Far be it from mo, a woman , toai- | tempt to advise In the important question, I bearing upon ohr nation’s weal or woe. ! Know Kothinglsm. so called, hut which I is in reality, as I should judge from news- ! paper leading, an effort put forth by the ! friends of Liberty, to pio-env to them* [selves the rights of American citizens; !tho privileges which Protestant Americans grant to all others, liberty of conscience; it seems to me, should not be so much dreaded. How these groat objects shall be attained, is not for me to say. [but if Native Americans, or Know Nothings can accomplish a good work in this direction, without alienating them from the cause of Christ, who will object? No one feels a deeper interest in the evangelisation of m.r foreign population than I [do; yet I am of the opinion, that to allow them to gain control over our free iu[stiiutious, Would rather perpetuate the tblindness and superstition which characterizes them, than lo cdlighten and cyangolizj them, and I have the confidence td Iwlicvc Hint our husbands, fathers',' * ari l | brothers, arc still able to choi-se the most [effectual way of securing the greatest 1 possible amount of good to our commonj wealth, Believing the organization to be i one of sound political economy, I cannot 'think that it is anti-Chris ian; oti the I contrary, its tctidcucty seems to be to projtoct Christianity, and In give the foreignI cr the W6.il of Life. I am sorry (o acknowledge that we have woridly minded* mlni-tcrs among us; but have wo not always hail? and Has tt been attributed to this cause? Let its pray that tho great Shepherd and Bishop o'f dtir souls, may bring them back from their wanderings, make them more sp.ritiiidly-niindcd, arid enable them to perform their political, as well as their religious duties in the fear of God and to the honor of His name.

"Kent,” remarked my friend, breaking in upon the train of melancholy mnsings that bad begun to Hood my soul, * in his early days, wan the pride of his parents. IIis talents were early d* st ’ ov ucd, and he was placed by his father under the instruction of a competent teacher; his progress was rapid and cheering, and he soOn found .himself in possession of an excellent studio, with commissions for portraits from his most distinguished townsmen. But finding his taste for a more extended field of aft increasing, he resolved to visit London, and perfect his knowledge of the human figure, and then devote himself to historical subjects rather than to portraiture. ’While in London, ho became acquainted with the late and lamented SirJDavid Wilkie. The work’s, of that artist pleased him more than anything he had yet seen, and had a great indue nee upon, his style, and rural scenes and cottage life became the subjects of Ins pencil.

A TALC OF THE DESTHOYEK. / BY J..W. .HELD. Ddriso a residence of some years in Europe, I became acquainted with the history of one of those unfortunate, beings which the demon Intemperance delights to make his prey. One of .that, class at which he has eve** hmled ins death*dealing darts; delighting to soil, with Ins desolating touch, the laurels that would otherwise fcc green and glorious—I allude to tho "Sons Of Genius.*' Albert Kent, is a name unknown to fame; not because its possessor had not talqnt sufficient to enable him to do things worthy of being remembered, arid .written on the imperishable pages of history, hut rather because while one hand was building up his reputation as a genius, the other was equally active in establishing his claim to the title of a drunken profligate. Tho first time hbj name attracted my at tenlion, was when, on passing through one of the manufacturing towns of England, I saw a group of people gazing at somethingin tho window of tt pic tit re-deal-

While in London his father died; and] he prepared to return and settle again in] his nativw village. But, alas! in that] great tity of sin, he contracted that fatal; habit, which has prenol the destruction; of so many thousands of the noblest of; earth’s children. On his return he was> met.by the companions of his youth, who; came to congratulate him on the success j which had crowned h : s now attempts, as well as to console him for the loss of hUj patent; butin> few months, many of these j very companions were his constant anon- j dan Is. They had found out Ids weak] points, amt while they came professing admiration for his works, they in reality tliought a groat deal more of his cheerful company, and the wino which htft purse cochl, and did afford them* than they did of his talented production*; the former they could appreciate because more congenial with their already established hahi.ti: it was i.ot long before most of his time was consumed by these vampires. Frequently he tried to cast off this habit, 1 wh’ch lie found was chaining him with its links of agony; but after every calm came Boterm, more fearful and desolating than the one which had preceded it His mother, mortiged and heart-broken, soon followed her companion to tho grave, and Kent, freed from every lie which bound him at all to society, now gave hi meal f up to the mott abandoned dissipation.

cr; and my curiosity beirigexciled, 1 joined the crowd, and beheld a painting of superior merit; one indeed, that gave mo-the highest opinion of the artut as a man of genius. On asking one of the gentlemen if he knew by whom the picture was painted, the whole crowd turned and locked at me in mute Astonishment; as if to express their wonder that any one should bo iguo rant of tho author of that picture. . But on discovering from my genera] appearance that it was a stranger who made' the inquiry, they at -once informed, mo trial "Poor Kent 1 ' was tho artist. “Poor Kent,” thought I to myself; and can tho producer of such a gem as that be poor? The'unsatisfied expression that my countenance wore on receiving-this short reply,'made tho gentleman whom I addressed, comprehend llio stale of my, feelings; ami looking mo in the fuco with a kiud and yet pitiful smile, ha remarked, "You seem to be unacquainted with Mr. Kcut, sir.” "Indeed I am,” I replied, "but shonM like to become acquainted with him, if it U in your power to afford mo that pleasure, sir.” . "Ah I" said my friend, with 6 sorrowfareotmtenaoci', "that I cannot do; but if you will accompany mo to my horac, I will give yoti something of his history;” and putting his arm in mine, wo turned away from tho window.

. THE RIOT nr THE ELEVENTH WAHIX It is of course impossible to obtain a; report of tbo causes, or extent of the' confusion, which prevailed at tho polls of the Eleventh Ward for a shott period on! yesterday. The Old Liners and llio represenlativca of the foreign party arc ve-' hemeut in their denunciations of what; they insist is a gross outrage and tn un-; parnllcldvUggiessiuii; while on the other, ha mi, tno American Reform parly repu ; diales all such assertions, and they insist, that although the affair was somewhat abrupt in the taking off, the urgent uc-, ccssity of the case permitted tio delay; | Wc have taken nil the pains, time would allow to obtain correct information, nnd tho (statements made to us.by mvchd parlies,'whoso word wc have no reason to doubt, present the casc about; thus:

1st. That the Old liners and foreigners, from their immense majority, had obtained and kept undisputed control of the polls, and that they used their power to most unfair advantage. 2d. That leading Democrats swore that they had possession of the polls and meant to havo their own way with them. - 3d. That o vast number of illegal votes had been cast, haying.been thrust in by the handfulh.: ,, , , 4th. That they at last positively refused to permit Americans and Protestant Germans to deposit their votes' ht all.
