V'octrp. THE MOTHER'S LEGACY. BY JAMES STONEHOUSE. How well do I remember the day my mother died, I.lThen on my father's knee I sat, and watch'd her pillow's side. She took his trembling hand is hers—her eyes imploring shone, And in impressive voice she said, (how sweet that dying tone !) " When I am gone, which soon will be, oh, guard this dower fair, And let a double zeal make up the loss of mother's care ; Oh! tend her as some gentle plamt in life's bright joyous spring, That in thy cold and wintry months she may a solace bring." Her voice grew faint, her head sunk low, they hurried me away; They would not let me near her go,-1 baffled them next day ; I went into her room—'twas dark—the curtains I withdrew, And said, " Oh! give your child a kiss as you were wont to do. She answered not,—'tis strange, 1 thought,—she used to early rise To give the morning benison I did so dearly prize, I said, "The day is getting on, the sun is up and bright." I opened then the shutter wide, and let in gleams of light. - . They fell . upon her lovely face—that face was strangely pale; • Her hand did seem transparent, while l ead like was each nail. I thought she slept—until she woke a vigil I would keep, -And so I laid beside her there; they found me fast asleep ! My hot young band one finger held, its clammy coldness thrill'd My sleep with dreams of ice and snow, my wand'ring fancies lill'd; They stood aghast to find me thus—upon the mournful bed, A living, blooming, glowing thing beside the chilly dead ! 'Twas like some shrub a careless hand had rooted frcnt the ground, But left a stem ti -shoot and grow, to cast its shade around They stood aghast ! and as 1 wept when from the chamber borne, They said her spirit far had fled, and never would return. In my young mind I could not tell what all this sadness meant, And saw them all in sorrow seem, and give that sorrow vent. My' father's eyes were often dimm'd by many a sparkling tear, And mine would oft be glistening - too, yet knew net why they were. Days quickly passed—they watch'd me close, nor suffer'd me from sight, Till one fair morni broke away, and from a turret's height 1 saw proceeding o'er the lawn a sad and solemn train, Who followed on with drooping heads, a dark and plumed wain. I was forbid that chamber's porch, and bade to ne'er refer To that past scene, or dying wish, so fondly breathed by her: Thus for a time they deeply mourned ; but soon by all but me That blessed spirit seemed forgot, despite grief's mockery. • Well, time went on, and I was left quite uncontroll'd and wild; My father seemed to quite forget his once so fondled child, The child my sainted inotherleft, a fond bequest to him, When her mild eyes. were fading fast, and growing dark and dim; Then threw they off their mourning garbs, and all their seeming grief, And all their looks so wo-begone,—the real were but brief ! A year—'twas but a little year—that gloom was set aside, My father brought unto his home—a young and smiling bride. When first she came she kiss'd me oft, and would not have me check'd; 'Twas but a fleeting, passing whim, for soon I felt neglect; Then I was chid, my , father frw.vn'd, his love soon seein'd to ' cool, He scarcely gave his blessing when he left me here at school. THE FIRST CRUSADERS IN SIGHT ov JERUSALEM 1. How brightly gleams the dawn on Salem's walls, See how her domes and minarets are shining, 'Gilt with the morning sun, that rising calls To joyful hupe those who have long been pining. -Observe yon monk, with cross uplifted high, Pointing to where the morn, with gulden ray, Shows that Jerusalem, long sought, is nigh— Thus ending toil and night with rest and gladsomo day. 2. The foremost knight his glittering helm has deft, And reverently bowing kneeleth there; While near a female mark, with features soft, Her raised hands her pious thoug,bts declare. Some, prostrate falling, kiss that h a ll owe d groun d, Others scarce upwards look - , while tears they shed; One awful fueling thrills the group around, On viewing fir.st the place where God, their Saviour, bled' 'One aged prelate, overpower 7 d, has sunk Senseless into the arms of a young knight, His eyes seem to have lost their power and shrunk, Closed in death, at the enrapt'ring sight. So Moses, from the lofty Nebo's top, Beheld with joy the promised land, and died, 'Contented there, at God's command, to stop— The goodly Canaan view'd quite satisfied. And Simeon, also, in a later day, Who, firm in faith and hope, had waited long, On earth no longer then desired to stay; But clasped his Saviour with this dying song : "Thy servant, Lord, would fain depart in peace. These aged eyes salvation now behold; Thine Israel's glory greatly s h a ll increase, And Gentiles see that light which prophets long foretold." Thus, after trials great, and travailied pain, air earthly pilgrimage at length pass'd o'er, We, crossing Jur,lan's fearful river, gain The blissful vision of that radiant shore. Like those crusades bold, in by-gone years, Who, with the sacred sign upon their breast, Beheld that city crown their prayers and tears; So we behold our !leaven of peace, and joy, and rest.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE ASHTON RADICALS.—SYMPTOMS OF WEAKNESS. ( From the Manchester Courier.) The following is a copy of a printed circularaddre•sed to the reformers of Ashton-under-Lyne. Our readers will perceive it is quite a curiosity in its way : Ashton-under-Lyne, May 16th, 1838. Sir,—The resnlt of the last general election convinced the re formers of this borough and neighbourhood that some plan of organization was absolutely necessary, to preserve our rights, and check the growing influence of toryism; after much delibe ration a reform association, having for its object a diffusion of useful information, was agreed upon, and' from the promised supporta a number of influential gentlemen, to meet the first outlay in' fitting up a room, it was established. Three daily .and a number of weekly papers are taken. In addition to this. other expenses have been incurred in printing, tfattling with ,the registration courts—church rates, &c. The promised sup port, which was. estimated at about DlO, though it was generally esteemed a trifle fora large:community to raise, yet it was never raised, at least, not more than one fourth; consequently the association though it might be able to meet its current expendi ture by its subscription% yet the debt ofthe first outlay hangs over it, and prevents the body from being as useful. to the pub lic as it otherwise might be. This is to be lamented the more when we consider the fact, that the tories are well organized by a similar institute, and well supported by the wealthy of their tribe. We are now under the painful necessity of ranking known our situation, in the full assurance that as reformers you will not by apathy let oar institution sink, and the tories triumph over you by neglecting it. Your assistance at this time is par ticularly desirable, as an important struggle is about to take place, in the carryin g of a liberal overseer, which will materially twist the cause of registration, and which the association would undertake if funds were not wanting. The association is at all times a rallying point for'the reform er. of the neighbourhood, and its past exertions need no COM nient to those who:have fe!t its usefulness, and if extinct wouldi soon be sensible of the loss. We confidently hope that our rip-: Heal will not he in vain; certain it is, if we are not supported, our future success will be doubtful, arid the triumph of our op- rinents complete by the extinction of our associated body. Donations will be thankfully received from those that the committee cannot conveniently wait upon, by the treasurer, Mr. K Lees, inachine-maker, Stamford -street, Ashton ; or the 'president, Mr. G. Clay, surgeon, Ashton.—Si g ned on beh a lf o f 'the committee, C. CLAY,' President. Reform' Associat ion Reading Rooms, •&e. ; • Stamford-street, •Ashton-under-Lyne. • We hope our contemporary of the Guardian, who has taken so much pains to make known the contents of a circular relating to the expenses incurred by the conser vatives ref South Lancashire, will also favour his readers with' a copy`of the above. The facts mentioned are strik :ngly illUstrative of the flourishing state of liberalism at a Ashton-under-Lyne. The first sentence contains a con ::!..sion that the conservative cause has obtained such a ff,o'-inc , in the borough as to cause the greatest alarm to - !hr. rsdicals. Though they were successful at the last ".the growing influence of toryism" rendered some plan of organization absolutely necessary;" and no:IliI-lg seemed sr, !ikely to prevent the triumph of tory ism as the establishment of a reform association. But alas! thr4ukh the very existence of liberalism at Ashton at' stake all that these asso c i a t e d tyorthies have been .aM e to raise for the "diffusion of useful information," battling rade the reffistration courts—church-rates," e " M s", P" I tVV sum of ten pounds ! Oh, M r . Hind joy, eau ye :that :hacking of your friends ?" Is the of . 44 rererm " hvinach a hopeless conditio n a t Ash ton that Its most oprilent supporters do not think it worth maintaining, even at the cost of the small sum wanted by the “association?" is it come to this ? There is one passage in tl►e circular which concerns more persons than the members of this association, and . other radicals of Ashton. "Your assistance," it says, "at this time is particularly desirable, as an important struggle is about to take place in carrying a liberal overseer, which will materially assist the cause of regis tration, and which the association would gladly under take, if funds were not wanting." Mark that, conser vatives of Ashton! Here is a bold and open avowal that one of tl►e objects of these associated " reformers" is to obtain the election of an overseer who will serve their cause in making the registers. We hope this intimation will not be-lost upon the conservatives; and if they are not able to place in office a man on whose fair dealing they can confidently rely, that they will adopt precau tions against any fraudulent proceedings on the part of the Reform Association. THE LEVELLERS IN AMERICA AND ENGLAND. ( From Ike Morniny Herald.) The Owenites and low II ish radicals will not succeed in their design to corrupt and inflame the minds of the great body English working men by seeking to connect calls for " cheap government" and "universal suffrage" with claims of a different nature, and so to combine the trades unions and co-operative unionists with the party who want a general scramble. It is clear that forms of government and political privileges have no real con nection with the aims and ends of the spouters at the Crown and Anchor Tavern ; for such a set of despicable fellows keep up a similar outcry against shopocrats, em ployers, and capitalists, in what Hetherington calls "that glorious country, America"---that pattern republic of 50- years' standing, where the people possess extensive suf frages anti vote by ballot, and where they have no ex- pensive king and court, no nobility, no state church, no tax-gatherers, no national debt. Yes, in that land of i promise the working classes are continually, but ineffec tually appealed to by demagogues, who find America co vered with tyrants and oppressors. Daniel Webster, in a speech, delivered on the 12th of March last, in the se nate of the United States, adverts to the designs of the organisers there, as follows :—" Such is the state of things actually existing in the country. And yet there are persons who continually clam Our against the state of things. They call it aristocracy. They beseech the poor to make war on the rich, while, in truth, they know not who are either rich or pOor. They complain of oppres ' sion, speculation, and the pernicious influence of accu mulated wealth. They carry on a mad hostility against all established institutions. They would choke up the fountains of industry, and dry up all its streams. In a country of perfect equality they would have heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly. In a country where property is more equally divided than anywhere else, they rend the air with the shouting of agrarian doc trines. In a country where the wages of labour are jo i high beyond a parallel, and where l a p re c h ea p, an d the means of living low, they w o uld t: tile labourer that he is but an oppressed s la ve . Si , What can such men want ? What do they mean ? They can mean no thitig but disorder and disturbance, the diffUsion of cor rupt principles, and the destruction of the moral senti ments and moral habits of society." SHERIDAN KNOWLES'S NEW PLAY, " WOMAN'S WIT; OR, LOVE'S DISGUISES." It will be found that well, as Mr. Knowles's play appears on the stage, it will please even more i❑ the closet, and that pas sages with which the spectator - might be critical, the reader will feel zealously inclined to vindicate. There is a simplicity of purpose, an honesty of sentiment, in fact a character of the sterling all through it, which commands our best sympathies, and silences, at least in the disingeneous, all tendency to hyper criticism. In order to justify the point in the first act, upon which the whole plot of the comedy turns, we extract, for our readers, a few passages in the play, in which the subject of the dance is treated with poetic eloquence, and an ardent zeal for modest refinement. The dance is, by a permissible anachro nism—the waltz:— " Walsingham.—Lo you, she dances, and, for partner, takes Lord Athunree, and not Sir Valentine, A novel measure that ! know you its name ? "Bradford—No—ay !—a liberal measure !—Seel—his hand Doth hold possesSion of her waist; while hers, • Nothing repelling, on his shoulder rests, Permitting neighbourhood so close, embrace Were scarce in privilege a jot behind." Lord Athunree, the libertine, in the following lines, describes De Grey, the preux chevalier of the piece, and further describes the character of the obnoxious dance:— " He is a man of sentiment ! Sentiment, mark you! that is, flesh and blood 1' the summer cool as spring —or water, sir, At the boiling point without a bubble—or wood Without ignition in the heart of fire ! An ample span of forehead!—Mark !—a full And liquid eye—free nostrils—crimson lips, Cushioning. orte another without stint Of the velvet—and a chin could shod a copse Of beard—a man, sir, with all these,' and yet With wishes innocent as thoughts of babes I A lie, sir, on the face of it !—yet such Ile passes for unto himself--believes Indeed he is, and doth of others judge But thro' the colour of this cmlf-delusiou— rarticu:arly women. He would nave teem Earth to himself—to all else, things of Heaven ! Impassive to impression, as the air Which man ne'er yet gave form or colour to! " ? Lord Athunree—l did dance with her just now. "Felton —Fair Hero?' " Lord Athunree—Yes; I did dance with her a free And liberaldance—the dance of contact, else Forbid—abandoning to the free hand The sacred waist! while face to face,lill breath Doth kiss with breath, and eye embraceth eye Your transed coil relaxing, straighening, round And round in wavy measure, yon entwine Circle with circle, till the swimming brain And panting heart in swonny lapse give o'er ! " Felton--I know; that foreign dance thou didst bring home. " Lard Athunree—The very same; I taught it her, and tint Did dance with her to-night. Felicia— I had admir'd To see you. " Lord Athunree—Had you not, I had admied. The card-room kept lou. Give you joy—you won! But to the dance. The evening half was out And still he held her ear. " Felton—Sir Valentine? " Lord Athunree—Who else ? who else that seat pre-eminent By her fair side had held in spite of me? I watch'd for my occasion, and it came ; Some friend did crave a moment's audience; ere 'Twas i done, her waist was in my custody; Her white arm hanging from my shoulder, where Her hand did freely couch. ' Your game goes well!' I whispered her ; ' Play boldly, and 'tis yours :' The measure this to set the outline off, Give sway to thy rich figure! Abandon thee 'l'o the spirit of the dance! Let it possess thee! Float thee as air were footing for thee! Stud Thy cheeks with smiles of fire, and give thine eye The lightning's dazzling play ! fix them on mine, That each do feed the other's, like to tongues - • With converse waking'converse I' " Felton—Well?—l see Thy drift ! " Lord Athunree—Thou should'st have leen the issue °lll—, While, like a pupil at a task he loves, Whnse aptittide with eager will outstrips His master's bidding, she was twenty times The thing 1 wished her! How she rose and sank With springy instep, while her yielding waist— Well as her waving neck, her beauteous head— Did show her fair and falling shoulders off! A world she look'd and moved of passionate Quick sense=of loveliness and joyousness— Anil I, be sure, did show its reigning lord Nor with the measure did dominion cease ; But when her drooping lids, relaxed steps, Disparted lips, and colour vanishing, Gave note she must give o'er—her languid form, Close girdled by my arm, her hand in mine, Her cheek for pillow on my shoulder' laid, I led her. to a couch, where courtesy Of course admitted tendance!" * ' Sir Valentine De Grey subsequently thus explains his feelings on the point, the justice of which, we leave to the consideration of all fair votaries of 'Terpsichore. We regret thus to mutilate a dialogue which,will be foiled in its complete state full of spirit, vigour and nature : • ." Felton—Are you not fond of dancing then? "Sir Valentine-1 am— Innocent pastime taken innocently In honest mood !—But there are natures, sir, That should eschew it—which 'tis pernicious to — As wine, that's mirth to some, to some is madness! ' I find no fault with dancing ! 'Tis an act Sets beauty off, proportion, grace; when these Are too set off by molesty. For men And women more especially, of the vein That's opposite, I'd have them lookers on— For their own sakes first—next for the sake of those, Who what they'd blush to do, do grieve to see Enacted. Felton—Was there any dance to-night Offended you ? "Sir Valentine—N —o, sir, I cannot say— Perhaps there is no barrio in any dance. I am not 3111:0—Sornitmay give too much license— Yet not so much, but e'en in such a case By delicacy 'twill be carried off Becomingly. I might perhaps object— Yet where's the thing that cap defy objection? But this i say, sir, and I'll stand to it, That modesty being to woman more Than beauty—for without, is beauty cheap— That woman who (loth show her beauty off Before her modesty, forgets herself, : • And merits forfeit of that high respect . Which noble minds would bear her!" The latter lines, in which an inestimable truth is expressed with true poetic nerve, were, we need scarcely say, ardently ap plauded on the first representation of the drama, and, we doubt not, were so likewise last night. We hope to find room for a few mere extract% from this masterly work.—Morning Herald. . , WILFUL AND .IVI A LICtouS Da MAGE DAR ToSTEAM ENGINES. —On the night of Tuesday the Bth inst., two steam engines, be longing to Mr. E. Grundy, at Breightmet colliery, were so ma terially injured as to render them unfit for nse on the following day. - The tappets had been taken off, the valves dainated, some pipet cut, and other damage done to one of the engin,es; and the water in the upper lodge had been t.irned into the lower one, the batik of the lower one cut away, and the crater turned into the coal pit, so that none of the men conk' work in the pit. The other engine was damaged, hut not to the same e.etent. Three men, named Jahn Jackson, William Lockton, and John Lock-. ton, who had been discarded from the works, were charged with the commission of the offence, and brought before the bench. Atter hearing the evidence, the magistrates committed the three prisoners to the quarter sessions for trial.—Mandiester Costlier. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY Comparing books occupied the aiientio:i of a densely-crowded room until nearly live o'clock, from whica time until hail-past six, the Derby betting, compared to the dull afternoons ire have noticed of late, was tolerably brisk. The Grey, suffering no doubt from the advance of other horses, was not so high in favour as before; one bet of 9 to 2. and several of 4 to 1, having been laid against him. Phceuix was fancied in several quarters at sto 1 and 11 to 2, the latter being his closing price. Cobham was backed for several hundred pounds at 9 and 10 to 1, and left off as on Monday. D'Egville was also in request, but nut so generally as we expected from the demonstrations at the begin ning of the week. Young Rowton and lon were backed fur four or five hundred each. Bullion, a country . horse, and fur many weeks one of the 20 to 1 lot, made a very distinct advance; the odds first taken were 16 to 1, then 14, after that several twelves and thirteens, and finally 14 to 1. The Gloucestershire gentlemen are of opinion, that they have a capital chance of winning. Nonplus dropped several points; and as no one will back him at any price, he may be considered out of the market. Twu bets were made about Albemarle, one at Wand the second at 40 to 1.

Dionysitis the tyrant had a chamber constructed iu.the form of a human ear, so that he might learn every rumour, every whisper, that cir culated in the market place. What his chamber was to the tyrant, the newspaper press is to the government of a free people; ,it tells them our wishes-,it apprises them of our wants —it carries to the ear of power the blessings of the grateful or the murmurs of the oppressed. And this is not all. The news paper teems with the most,practical morality; in its reports of crime and punishment, you find a daily warning against tempta tion; nota case in the police court, nut asingle trial ofa wretched outcast or a trembling felon, that does not preach usfthe - awful lesson how imprudence leads to error, how error conducts to guilt, how guilt reaps its bitter fruit of anguish and degradation. Nor is. even this all. The newspaper is the familiar bond that hinds together man and man—no matter what may be the dis •tanee Of climate or the difference of race. Here it is that we have learned how to sympathise. with the slave, how to battle for his rights—how to wrest the scourge from his taskmaster. Over land and over sea the voice of. outraged humanity has reached to the great.heart of England, and raised ttp.a host of freeman as the liberators of the enslaved and tortUrediegro ! It is a law-book for the indolent, a sermon for the thoughtless, a library for the pool : it may stimulate the. most indifferent—in may instruct the most profound. Such are the real adiantages, the substantial utility of the newspaper press. These, in spite of nit its abuses, have made it the boast of liberty, the glory of civilization. For th ese i t i s t h at it has been justly likened to the air we breathe; for, like the air, it is the circulatorof light; and, like the air, it dispenses to us all, to the meanest and to the proudest, the common glory of the sun of truth.—E.

AN ELEDIRICAI., LA DY.—A respectable physician, in the last number of Silliman's Joui•eal. give's the followingecuarrigoeuds acc ount of an electrical lady :—Lle states, that on' th e evening, of Jan. 28th, during a somewhat extraordinary display of thy northern lights, the person in quest ion became so highly charged with electricity, as to give Out Vivid 'electrical sparks from the g anst end of each finger to the race' of each of th e company present. This did not cease with ,the heavenly phenomenon, but con tinued for several months, Burin which tim e she w charged, and giving off electrical spark s to every conductors constantly charged, l approached. This was extreMely vexatious, as she could nut touch the stove no? any metallic utensil, without first giving off an electrical spark, with the consequent twinge. The state most . favourable to this phenomenon was an atmosphere of about 80 Fah., moderate exercise, and social enjoyment. It disappeared in an atmosphere approaching zero, and under the debilitating effects of fear.. When seated by the stove, reading, with her feet upon the fender, she gave spat ks at the rate of th ree or more a minute, and under the most favourable circumstances a spark that could he seen; felt, or heard, passed every second ! She could charge others in the same way, when insulated, who could then give sparks to others. To make it satisfactory that her dress did not produce it, it was changed to cotton and wool len, without' a l terin g the Phrnoinentm. The lady is about 30, of sedentary pursuits. and a delicate state of health, having for two years previous suffered from acute rheumatism and neuralgic affections, with peculiar symptoms.
