From the Cincinnati Gaxette. Den lb in an Ana Chair. There is something terrible in Death, let him come in whatsoever way lie will and we feel like manifesting obstinate, though vain resistance, when he singles out for his victim one around whom the tendrils of. our heurts have long been woven in 6 woet embrace. Then the ways of Providence becomes a mystery, dark and mournful and the heart is prone to breathe its afflicting grievances before the very throne of haaven, Soma two years since I knew a lovely girl, whose feet had trod upon the blossoms of no more than sixteen springs, Bat when the next came round and called her out, To revel in its light she turned away And sought her chamber to lie down and die." One cloudless morning, when the dews of night had left the grass, and rose to kiss the sun, she took.

my arm and led me out upon the fresh green sward a consciousness of her fast declining health dispelled every mirthful thought, and we walked on in silence until we reached that little spot from which the song of melody went up from both our lips, when her cheeks wore the emblematic 'flush of health; rio'w she was dying consumption was revelling in her vital parts, and those "eyes before which I was wont to feel a thrill, a shock as from love's battery, were dim spiritless, like dull, grey clouds after the, ilium ination of the lightning had passed away forever. "Milton," said she, it must be so She turned and looked me steadfastly in the face for a moment, then fell upon my breast and wept. Gentlecreature, is this tby doom Oh God, I it must be so," she continued, interrupting me, "I must leave you and all that was once dear to my heart. If in yon world beyond the stars we can cast our thoughts back upon the sunshine and tears ot this life, I will there think of having awakened from a dream in which fancy played her varied freaks of bliss and woeand deem the lights and shadows of time the creatures of her brain. Reflect for a moment, and you will feel as I do, that 'passing away' is written on every thing beautiful and dear to the eye and heart.

But there will be a resurrection and her eyes seemed to brighten at the thought, and reanimating vigor rush through her veins, sending a lively flush to hsr pale, death like cheeks "yes, a few weeks since, this shrcb, this flower, this beautiful plain and copse, slept in death through the wintry heurs, but now they have burst forth and blush iu glory. happy thought, though there are those around me whom it seems very hard to leave, yet I would not live with the prospect before me, lest in this world my feet may yet become familiar with the paths of sin. I am weary, let us return." Slowly we retraced nur steps to her father's dwelling house a neat little cottage upon the banks of the Monongahela river, around which lays the most lovely, picturesque and aquatic scenery. The carolling of birds just returned from southern climes, and the lively green 'plain and hill seemed to mock the anxiety of a heart whose fountains were turning into dust with burning grief. On my arm leaned the being soon to be among those in the "spirit land," her heart beating with quickening pulse, as though eager to beat its last Reaching the parlor, I seated her in the armchair now embalmed in my memory and associated with emotions too big for utterance from which ebe looked, for rest, upon the quiet stars floating like islands upon the upper deep.

She looked even better than when we walked on the day before but it was not without contra I observed her breathing became short and more difficult. Suddenly her eyes fell, and she rjjraaped the arms of her chair. I rushed to her, and. heard her pronounce with difficulty, Father, Mother I called, and in an instant they stood before their dying child. Oh, the agony of that moment! The father stood in mote despair; the mother wept in all the storm of grief the one smothering life within, the other seemingly pouring it forth gush after gush.

She raised her hands; they fell into those of her parents. One long breath succeeded, and she dropped her head and died, as it were from very sweetness. Milton Mindful, The Mechanic in StrnlH. Let the mechanic in straits hope strongly for deliverance. Many are now reduced to great difficulties by changes in the commercial world, which they had no hand in producing.

In such circumstances, when the father sees the dearest object of his affections brought into want and distress, there is a great temptation to discontent and repining. This tendency must be resisted It never did any good and never can. No man ever gained by grumbling. Complaint, recriminations, and even curses serve neither to make the hungersmallernor the loaf larger. Stick a pin there and consider.

Here is a starting point. Not many years ago I heard Uncle Benjamin discourse of this matter to his son, who was complaining of the pressure. Rely upon it, said the old man as he leaned on his staff, and his grey locks flowing in the breeze of a May morning, murmuring pays no bills. I have been an observer anytime these fifteen years, and I never saw a man helped out of a hole by cursing his horses. Be as quiet as you can, for nothing will grow under a harrow, and discontent harrows the mind.

Matters are bad 1 acknowledge, hut ulcer is none the better for fingering. The more you groan the poorer I you grow. Repining at losses is putting pepper into a sore eye. Crops will fail in all soils, and we may be thankful that we have not a famine. Besides, I always took notice that whenever I felt the rod pretty smartly, it was as much as to say, 'Here is something which you have got to Sammy, don't forget that your schooling is not over yet, though you have a wife and two cried Sammy, you may say that, and a mother in law and two apprentices into the "kargain.

And I should like to know what a poor man can learn here, when the greatest scholars and lawyers are at loggerheads, and can't for their lives tell what has become of the hard Softly, Sammy! Iain older than you. I have not got these gray hairs and crooked back without some burdens. I could tell you stories of the days of continental money, when my grandfather used to stuff a sulky box with bills in order to pay for a yearling or a wheat fan and when Jersey women used thorns for pins, and laid their teapots away in the garret. You may wish to know what you may learn You may learn these seven things: First, that you have spent too much and saved too little. 1 never taught you to be a miser, but I have seen you give your dollar for a notion, when you might have laid one half aside for jsbarity and another half for a rainy day.

'Secondly, that you have gone too much upon credit. I always told you that credit was a shadow but a small body may cast a great shadow, and no wise man will follow the shadow any further than he can see the substance. You may now learn that you have followed the opinion and fashion of others till you have been decoyed into a bog. Th'ly. that you have been in all too much haste to become rich.

Slow and easy wins the race. Fourthly, That no course of life can be depended on as always prosperous. I am afraid the younger race of workmen in America have had a notion that no one could go to ruin on this side of the water. Providence has greatly blessed uf, but wo have become persumptucus.

Tricks of the Enemy. Whenever an election is at hand, you observe an uncommon degree of sympathy for the poor work ingmen" breaking out among the Whigs and they go so far as to admit for that occasion only that they are a very deserving class of people, and ought to be allowed two dollars a day," or thereabouts, and as much roast beef as they can get They are sometimes found in good humor enough to say, that even the adopted citizens are not so bad a3 they might be; and whenever they can find an in stance in which a few persons of this clas3 have permitted themselves to be used for the promotion of their own objects, (as in Rochester,) they fall to praising them with a will. Then these very cdopted citizens, whom they are ac customed to compliment with such phrases as "low," "ignorant," "the spawn of garrets and cellars," and the like, are suddenly transformed into sterling patriots, and a good deal of breath is wasted in shouting their praise. There is an excellent rule by which to determine this matter, and obviate the necessity for all professions. By their works ye shall know them," says an ancient authority, and let us inquire very briefly what has been the course of these patriots in Brooklyn towards both workingraen and adopted citizens during the last year.

The former have been kept out of their pay for months together, and but for the generous exertions of the Mayor, would have been plunged into the deepest distress. There was no justifiable pretence for this conduct, as everything was conceded that was asked for by the Whigs, in order that the claims of these men upon the city might be liquidated, and much suffering prevented. The private account in the Mayor's name, opened several months ago at one of our banks, has been the means of granting some relief to those who were most in want; and yet even that measure has been denounced by these lovers of the workingraen. Charity, we are told, begins at home and ere they arraign Mr. Henshaw at the bar of public opinion, they should make the effort to come into court with clean hands.

Perhaps the adopted citizens will recollect the manner in which they were treated last fall by their present defender the News and by turning to the files of that paper they will find the Democratic vote set down under the head of Irish," as if it were a reproach to be such. If necessary, we can refresh their Society Islands. The Providence Journal publishes a letter containing further details of the information previously received from these islands. It appears that the natives, incited by the British, had threatened to pull down the French Protectorate Flag whereupon the French threatened, if they did, to fire upon the town. This aroused the ire of the English commander, who, in his turn, declared that if the Frenchmen fired upon the town, he would return the compliment upon their ships, with interest.

But the natives wisely concluded not to interfere with the flag for the present, and a collision was thereby deferred, though not perhaps, avoided. ID A slip from the Portland (Me.) Argus, dated "Saco, Oct. 30th," informs us that the trial of Ebenezer K. Hatch, charged with removing the rails from the track of the Eastern Railroad, at Wells, a short time since by which the cars were thrown over, the engineer killed, and some of the passengers maimed terminated in a verdict of Not Guilty." It is added that the people consider it a righteous one. Bela Badger, who was long since condemned to everlasting fame on account of certain transactions in "pipe" and "yarn," has started a Clay paper in Philadelphia or rather purchased one which was already started and promises to make it the Tribune of Philadelphia." We should think him just the man to do it.

A burglar who attempted to rob the house of Mrs. Thorp, at Albany, on Tuesday last, was shot at with a pistol, and probably killed as blood was subsequently discovered around the premises. named Ashley and Zeillman, are suspected. lET The concert last evening for the benefit of Mr. S.

P. Taylor, the organist, was very fully attended, and the ncrformauces wore of a char acter give satisfaction. The opening chorus, Awake, put on thy was excecding Iv won dnne the rich and flexible voice of Mrs. Thorp being hoard above the din of the whole choir, and the organ to boot. The superior voice and artistical skill of this lady, however, were seen to much better advantage in that thrilling piece, "Belshazzar is king!" Her sweetest notes and most difficult trills (denominated quavers, we believe, in musical parlance) were given without the slightest apparent effort, and seemed, as they well might, to enrapture the audience.

Mrs. Strong and Miss Pearson acquitted themselves admirably.as they always do. The recitative and aria of the former "The Great Archangel" and "Must I leave thee, P.vradise," were Bung with even more than her accustomed excellence. "The Blind Girl" and "The Better Land" by Mrs. Benson, were not to our taste perhaps from a knowledge of the beautiful and impressive man ner in which the former is given by Miss Marions.

There was too much force in Mrs. execution of both pieces, and decidedly too much ornament. The sentiment of the one is subdued and gentle, and it ought to be sung in a manner to correspond while in the other there is an alternation of sentiment the queries of the child being put with simplicity, and the mother's replies given with a mingled feeling of gratitude and aspiration. This antithesis did not sufficiently appear. Mr.

Pearson sustained himself well, for a veteran of his calibre. The Hutchinson family sang three pieces the last, by request of the audience. Of these, The Dying Christian" was the best if it is possible to determine where aJi were so good. The parting with friends the triumphant and soul sustaining hope, and the final struggle with the king of terrors, were vividly and feelingly portrayed. The rich contralto of little sister Abby" was perfection itself.

It was altogether, as we said, a delightful entertainment. Mr. Weizf.l's Concert. The desire which many had to show their friendship for Mr. Taylor, added to the attraction of the Hutchinsons, no doubt kept, numbers from the Lyceum who would otherwise have been pleased to attend.

As it was, there was an audience present of about one hundred and fifty. The music was of the very first order. Mrs. Loder sang her songs admirably, and Mr. Weizol acquitted himself with great credit.

He was much applauded. Mr. Titnni sustained his character as the best accompanist of the day on the piano. The Orchestra, which consisted of nine or ten persons, was excellent. The two German Overtures were played exceedingly well, and gave great delight, and the concerted pieces of Onslow were also admirably performed.

The leader, in whom we think we recognized Mr. Weigel we may possibly mistake the name is a master of the violin, and evidently perfectly familiar with German music of the highest class. Mr. Hill, who played the first violin with him, but whom his whiskers, almost prevented us from recognizing also added much to the effect of the band. The gentlemen amateur played his concertos on the violin extremely well.

He is evidently a very great proficient on that instrument. That he is an enthusiast was evident from his posture and action. Altogether it was a fine affair, and the audience were highly gratified. A Divorce. The Legislature of New Jer sey were engaged on Wednesday with the pe tition of Tacy Maria Appleton, for a divorce from her husband.

She was married to Apple ton in 1842, who was figuring, at the time, as agent of the New Jersey Temperance Society. He soon left her and went to the Southern States, and Mrs. A. was preparing to follow him, when she heard that he had previously married two other wives, and justly calculated that her presence was not desired by the scoundrel. It appeared, from documents which accompanied the petition, that Appleton had personated the character of a preacher, a docto' a lecturer upon temperance, and a professor of animal magnetism each by though neither long.

The divorce was unanimously granted. Brig Ashore. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Exchange, writes from the Delaware Breakwater, dating Tuesday: I arn informed that Mr. Lyons, wreck master, attempted to get the brig Elizabeth (ashore on Cape Henlo pen Beach) off, but did not succeed, owing to the low state of the tide and the N. W.

wind which unhappily prevails at present. The ves sel is tight and does not appear in the least damaged." The Elizabeth is a new brig, recently built, and owned in Wilmington, and was returning from tho West Indies. Carrying Weapons A young man, residing in Baltimore, previous to joining the torchlight procession last week, slipped into his pantaloons pocket a butcher knife, with the handle downwards, but not having occasion to use it during the night, returned home, forgetting that ho had it with him. Previous to undressing himself he stooped down to pull off his shoes, winch caused tlie blade of the knite to enter li is side, and passing some distance under his ribs, it inflicted a serious wound.

A gentleman and lady were sitting opposite to each other, the lady having a piece of court plaster on her lip. On emerging fruin one of tho dark tunnels, marvelous to relate, the court plaster was observed to have been transferred to the gentleman's lip." New Publications. The Wokks or Shakspf.are.

One of the jrood effects' of cheap literature, and of its general circulation r.mong all ranks and! classes.of people, is demand it creates for works of an elevated and established character, This, we predicted long ago, would be the result of the mighty and almost incredible efforts made by publishers to serve the people." and with that view we felt and still feel disposed to encourage them. The first and most difficult step is, to induce people to read; but this point once obtained, and it is a matter of comparative ease to induce them to read as they should. It is true that some caterers for the public taste, impelled by a mere desire forgnin, will putforth books of a questionable moral tendency, but the antidote follows close upon its heels and it cannot be doubted, we think, that an ultimate advantage will accrue to the public. No man can rest satisfied with drinking either from the stream or puddle, when access to the fountain head may be obtained for a mere song and perhaps it is belter, on the whole, that such as have remained a tbirst for years should com mence at the former, and wend their way gradu ally towards lie latter.

Claxton were buried on Monday, in the Government Cemetery, Baltimore, with solemn public ceremony, attended by civil, military and naval officers. Com. Claxton died at March 7th, 1841, after an illness of a few days. In the last war Com. Claxton, then a midshipman, served with characteristic bravery.

He was on board the Wasp in the severe conflict which resulted in the capture of the Frolic, and al though on the sick list, no remonstrances could prevent him from serving in the fight. His kindness of hoartand the generous spirit infused into his manner as a Commander, gave him a strong hold upon the affections of the sailor. Steamboat disaster the Missouri sunk. The slendid steamboat Missouri, on her downward trip from Chicago, when off Point au Barque, in Lake Huron, on the struck a reef of rocks, and damaged the bottom of her hull so as to cause her to fill rapidly, but by violent exertions at the pumps she was kept afloat for a time, her captain, however, was soon compelled to run her ashore. She filled and sunk down nearly to her second deck.

The passengers were all taken off safe. Her cargo was principally beef which will not be materially damaged. It was thought she would be raised andgt off without sustaining a very heavy loss. A Just Act. One of the last official acts of Governor Pennington of New Jersey, was one of mercy.

He transmitted a reprieve for Rosanna Keen, the colored girl, whose execution was appointed to take place to day. She, by neglect, was left to grow up scarcely better than an idiot in mind. She will probably bo taken care of in future to prevent such another act as she was guilty of at least, she ought to be. Daring Burglary. Wo learn from tho Trenton Slalo Gazette that tho bod room of Mr.

Amos Wiiliamsum, keeper of a tavern at Ringoes, Hunterdon county, tvas entered last Saturday night by some burglars, under the impression that Mr. W. had 3000 in his possession, and seemed disappointed to learn that he had only 840.

Loss of the Suit Superior. The ship Superior, Capt. iWmison, is on shore. This vessel came into our harbor, or rather where our harbor ought to be, last week, and landed her freight in good order. She commenced loading with wheat, and had taken about 5000 bushels on board.

During Friday night the wind was strong, increasing almost to a gale toward morning, during which she parted her best bower and went bard on shore about 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, nearly buws on. A strong wind and heavy swell have given her a pretty deep berth in the sand. To day she is discharging her wheat into the propeller Hercules. It is not supposed to be damaged. Cor.

Bnjlalo Com. Adv. Police. Samuel Jackson, Diana Sebron and Anna Willliarns (colored) were convicted of an assault and battery upon Sarah Jackson (colored) and fined 2 50 each for the offence. Diana had allured Jackson from the society of Sarah, with whom he had lived for years, and who, having become old and less prepossessing, he had forsaken for the more youthful companionship of Diana; and Sarah, with a view to reclaim her inconstant lord, went in pursuit of him, and finding him with Diana and others, vented her indignation upon the whole of them, and receiv ed in return a general beating.

Previously to the trial of the matter Anna Williams was united in the holy bands of wedlock to Jeffrey Springfield by Judge Church, which was cer tainly an extraordinary marriage as the bride was immediately thereafter put upon her trial and convicted as before stated. George Jones, alias James Wilherspoon.was tried and convicted of petit larceny, committed at Jones's American Hotel in this city, on Sunday morning last, by stealing cigars, as before reported, and sentenced to the Common Jail for six months, and to pay a fine of S50. Witherspoon, which is his correct name, is an adroit and confirmed scoundrel, and has prac tised his knavery extensively in New York, having burglariously entered Venn's place in Ann street Johnson's victualing house in Fulton street, and Columbia College, stealing from each, and was arrested in the nick of time" to cut short his depredations and relieve community for a time from his inconvenient Harvest at Fair Haven. In common with many of our citizens, curiosity led us to visit, yesterday afternoon, the Oyster Banks at Fair Haven. The act prohibiting the taking of oysters being off at 12 o'clock, Tuesday nitiht, the signal of three cheers was given, and the rush began and has since that time been kept up spiritedly, by about 1000 men, and probably 1,000 boats.

If we compute each boat to have taken 50 bushels of oysters, the amount caught in tho first twelve hours would bo 50, 000 bushels. At an average of 40 cents per bushel, they are worth 20,000. The major part, was, no doubt taken by the inhabitants of Fair Haven, although the men and apparatus for the business, from the neighboring towns, were seen wending their way to the scene of action, through the afternoon and evening of 1 uesday. lew Haven Cour '2d inst.

Ha placed tiie package as usual at the bar No. 9 Elm street, whence he received it and placed it under the seat in front of the stage.

On arriving at Neponset, he took the fares from the passengers, leaving the package still under his box. When he arrived at Quincy, on opening the package at the Bank.it was found to contain nothing but pieces of brown paper, nicely done up in the same form with the bills, in imitation of the late Milbury Bank affair. These are all the particulars as far as they have reached us. It is unnecessary to add that not the slightest suspicion attaches to Mr. Gillett.

But for the presence and firmness of his first lieutenant and other officers, it would have had a most tragical result. Capt. Berslem, the commander, ordered the crew beat to quarters, and then directed the deck cleared for action, and the guns double shotted, primed and fired into the town of Cork.

The officers, however, interfered, enticed the captain into the cabin, and confined him. He was immediately removed, and the brig placed in the command of the first Lieu Department of State, Washington, Oct. 31st, 1843. Information has been received at this De partment from Thomas W. Robeson, U.
