There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st,
But in his motion, like an angel sings,
Still quriug to the young-eyed cherubim,
Such haym0nyis IN Immortal souls. Siakspear.
MANY of the most exquisite enioymen,s of life,
are those which NOT only mock description, but puz
ZIe ne most acute philosophers to trace to their
source. Yet who shall dare deny their utility or
existence, because they cannot be defined demon
istraed?
Who shall paint the vision Of glory, that Fits
around the warriors brow, in the heat Of battle
describe the thob OF ecstacy that beats his heart
as he raises the hraven-directed arm to smile the
head OF the tyrant, and the chain: OF slavery.
" no shall describe the emotions OF the husband,
and the lover. when they have escaped the pers of
the Deep and returned cast its treasures at the
altar of their affections
Who shall depict the rapture of the poet, seated
on some cloud-capp'd emincnce, commanding all
the sublime of nature, while his harp awakens all
its harmony!
Who shall describe the elevation Of the servant of
the Most High, kneeling humbly the iootstooI OF
Earth while his soul pours out her prayers, and be-
lnedictions, at the throne of Heaven!
| Whence arise all these sources of enjoyment, bu,
from the fountain of divine wisdom ?-aud What
thrills the heart of the warrior and wanderer, and
touches the soul of the poet and devoee, but tina;
hidden spring of divine Harmony, that makes the
Planets sing in their orbits,

is thou who dispeDses each blessing of life, whose

FtalkS-Topn CGmtaign!-On Monday 17th
inst. Commonly called St. Patrick's day some
occurrences OF rather dlsagreeable character,
took place inFunks- rown,in this countysa short
account OF which may answer good purpose,
as transactions of this kind are often much ex-
aggerated or niisrepresented at a distance from
the sceGe of acton. The facts, as far we
have been made acquainted with them, are
nearly these
Early in the morning good dealof excite
ment was produced among the turnpike hands,
by the appearance OF an manmate parsonage,
generally denomnated Paddy. BY whom
this parsonage was brought into view, is un-
cerrain. The citizens OF Funks-toWn lay his
appearance 10 the turDpikers whilst they, in
turn, attribute it TO the citizens of the town.
Be this as it may, a considerable number OF
the sons of Hibernla collected in body, and
proceeded some distance down the Nam street
of the town, when they came III contact with
some OF the citizens; quarrel ensued, IN
which one or two individuals on each side
were severely cut aud bruised, and others
slightly wounded. Appearances at this time
were rather alarming general engagement
between the citizens and the workmen was
fortunately prevented. d,
After the laps o. some time, the turnpikers
marshalled their force, to tue amount, as re.
ported, of about $50 men, in one OF the cross
streets at the upper end of the town and the
Funks town Rifle corps was psraded IN the
main street Thusprepared, the belhgerent par
ties remained in view OF each other until the

troop American Blues and a strons company OF

then spent IN parleying, which resulted IN the

Two years ago there was no difference
of opinion among the members OF the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, called
democrats, with respect to the successor
of Mr. Monroe; all hands were up Tor
John Quincy Adams. One year ago the
members of the Legislature of the same
political character, were very generally
in favor OF John G. Calhoun, as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Monroe. The present
session presents division of opinion !;
Gr. Adams appears to have most friends,
among the members OF the political
character alluded to-some are for MIR.
Clay, and some for General Jackson. If
Mr.. Crawford have any friends, we
have not heard of them.
