SAMPSON.

Local names are often given to articles
which a stranger would be at loss to de
fine. An honest Dntchman from New
York, few years since, being on jour-
ney to N. Hampshire, put up at tavern
in the town of W., in Vermont. Ii
was cold night, aud on entering the bar
room, he found number round the nre
quaffing their favourite beverage, when
they designated by the name OF Sampson,
The Dutcbman was invited to partake' ana

company at length separated, and our tray-

that he was unable to preserve his eqnil'-
brium, and his ideas being somewhat con-
fused, be addressed the landlord thus:- :.
: Vat you call dat stuff ma drink tonight !!
Sampson replied the other. ~ de

FEMALE INDUSTRY.

WILLIAM CoBBETT, long celebrated
for his political and agricultural writings,
both 10 England and America, in an essay
on The latter subject, pays the following
handsome compliment TO female industry.
{" My work was as well done as if the
whole had been done by myself My
planting done chiefly by young ruomen,
each of whom would plant half an acre
day, and their pay was ten pence sterling
a day.
+" What shame, then, for any man to
shrink at the trouble and labor Of such
matter! Nor let it be imagined, that these
young women we're poor, miserable, rag
ged creatures. They were just the con-
trary. On Sunday they appeared in
their white dresses, and with silk umbrel-
las over their heads. Their constant la
Dor afforded the means of dressing well,
their early rising aud exercise gave them
health, their babitual cleanliness and neat
ness, for which the women in the south Of
England are SO justly famed, served TO aid
in the completion of their appearance,
which was that Of the fine rosy checked
country girls, fit to be help mates, aod
not burthen of their future husbands"
This reminds US Of the good old fashion
among the country girls of New-England,
who 90 the approach of shower 10 the
hay-making season, haste to the fields, and
by their beauty, industry and cheerfulness,
inyigorate the rustic swans, and bear a
conspicuous part in the labor Of the hus.
bandman. We would merely ask, where
is the young man who would not prefer a
help mate of the above description, TO
one who has only to recommend her skill
on the piano, dexterity 10 practising the
GavOtte," or artfulness in singing?
Behold the rosy checked maid arrayed
in all the innocence and beauty of her own
native plains, unadorned by the foreign
couutries--see in her the practice of viz.
tue and health, while the more fashionable
ones of the metropolis are arrayed 10 all
the extravagancies Of the world, and have
no charms for the man OF reason and re.
Election.
Nor are the country ladies destitute Of
that sound Judgment and taste, with which
the fair OF the metropolis seem TO think
themselves exclusively favored. You will
find, Mr.. Editor, as much real science, il
any thing that adorns the mind, and more
that adorns the person, ID the inland town;
Of New England, than in the enlightened
seaports.
That the good old times of our ances,
tors have changed there is DO need of at.
tempts TO prove; that the manners of the
softer sex have deteriorated, it is pre-.

SONG.
By r. II. Wade, Esq. Of Georgia.

~ 49, 49, - '-~' ~ - F . "
My life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky.
But, ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die.
But on that roses humble bed,
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
AS if she wept such waste to see
But none shall weep atear for me.
MY life is ike the autumn leaf,
That trembles in the moons pale ray
Its hold is frail--its date is brief
Restless, and soon to pass away
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree shall mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leafless tree
But none shall breathe breath for me.
My life is ike the print which feet
Have left on Tempea's desart stand
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
This track will vanish from the sand:
Yet, as if grieving to eiface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore load nloarns the sea
But none shall ever lament for me.-P. Folio.

THE UNFEELING CREDITOR.
SUE not to him, his heart is cold,
His soul is dark, his god is gold;
His breast could ue'er compassion feel,
His heart is cas'd in triple steel.
He grinds the faces of the poor,
Their spoils enrich his i'll gsin'd store;
He prowls about the earth for prey,
And desolation marks his way.
His fiery eyes exulting roll,
While victims glut his savage soul;
Plead not with him, your suit is vain,
He smiles not but at others pain.
Go bid the monsters of the deep
Give up their spoils, relent and weep;
Go bid the cruel yulture spare,
And cease his quiv'ring prey to tear.
Go to the hungry tiger, plead,
And for his victim intercede;
When these at mercy's shrine shall bow,
Then man may some compassion show.
Yet, petty tyrant, hear and quake,
Though justice sleep, she will awake;
The suff ring poor's despairing moan,
That shook tyrant from his throne;-
Tn oppressed poor's dread curse viii rise,
To call down vengeance from the skies;
And those who mock'd thy debtors pain,
May live to beg, and beg in vain.

10 be middle aged. He was remarkable al
ways for his good health, was seldom sicE,

longevity was the wonder ofIis neighbors,
and he became much noticedin consequence
thereof. He was emancipsled many years

after his Liberation, as he was before, and
tended crops, the profits of which he be-

The house representatives, yesterday,
hyway OF redecming the loss occa:ioned to
the public by the speechiels INDUCING
themselves in duh and useless repctiions of
the arguments of others, came to resolu-
ton 20 dispense with the usual call for Pc

The public must surely, one time or o.

committee was lately appointed to select
such parts OF the enormous mass OF business
that ought to have been despatched this scs-
sion, instead OF spoutiug, but was not, as is
mos, necessary to be acted upon, in order
kat the residue may lie over 10 the next
scssion--or the next--or the next. a re-
port was yesterday made to the house upon
the subject, from which it appears that The

which, the INTERESTINGLY the food perhaps
OF thousands Of families depends, is 70 be
STAYED of to another year. Wien oratory
is converted into nlischicvous farce, who
that mas pride would be haranguer! When

upon should be called, no! capital, but b.

The newspapers could do more than all
other things, to stop this abuse, by neither
reporting any oi their long, leaden, unmea-

Yet yesterday was an important day,
and will mark great era in the history OF
