Al the present moment, when such vol
ley OF words and newspaper squibs have been
directed towards the Democratic Members in
Congress, for the purpose of batieIing down
Caucus, il is presumed the public will moi,
be displeased with the following extract from
The 61st number of the Edinburg Reyiew-a
journal which all the world knows has never
been the most friendly TO the people of this
country, or their Republican Institutions The
extract shows. however, what that periodical
pamphlet thinks Of Caucus. and of the few
evils which attend it. Milton Cnz.
" A great deal is said by the author before
us (Alr. II. b. Fearon) about Caucus, the
cant word of the Americans for the commit
tees and party meetings in which the business
Of the elections is prepared-the influence of
which he seems TO consider prejuditial.-
To us, however, Il appears TO be nothing more
than the natural, fair, and unavoidable inau-
eDce, which talent, popularity, and activity,
must, always have in free countries. What
other influence can the leading characters of
the Democratic party in Congress possibly
possess Bribery is out of the quPslOn-e-
qually so is the influence Of family and fortune
What then can they do with their Caucus or
without il, but recommend And what
charge is it against the American governmen Mt
to say, that the Members Of Congress, persons
in whom the people have placed the highest
confidence, meet together To consult whom
they shall recommend for President, and that
their recommendation is successful in the diff
fereDt states? Could any friend TO good or
der wish other means To be employed, or
other results to follow ? No Statesman can
wish to exclude influence. hut only bad nhu-
encr, not the influence ofsense and character,
but the influence Of any money and punch"

TIE INDIAN BRIDE.

She had lighted her lamp, and crowned it with
flowers,
The sweetest that breathed of the summer hours:
Red and white roses linked in band,
Like nlaitlen's blush or maiden's hand
Jessamines-some like silver spray,
Some like gold in the morning ray
Fragrant stars-and fayorites they,
When Indian girls, festival day,
Braid their dark tresses and over all Weayes,
The easy bower of Lorus leaves
Canopy suiting the lamp-lighted bark
Loves own flowers and Loves own ark.
She watched the sky, the sunset grew dim;
She rais'd to CAMDEo her evening hymn;
The scent of the night flowers the air
And then like bird escaped from the snare,
She flew to the river-(no moon was 50 bright,
But the stars and the flies gave her their Eight :;
She stood beneath the mangoc's shade,
Half delighted and half afraid
She trmn'd the lamp, and breathed On each bloom.
Co. that breath WAS sweeter than all their perfume
Threw spices and oil on the spire of fame,
Cad thrice on her absent lovers name
And every pulse throbbed as she gave
Her little boat to the Gauges wave.

A MARRIAGE PORTION.

At the marriage of Monsieur the Count
of Artois, the city of Paris agreed to dis
tribute marriage portions. A smart lit
tie girl Of the age of sixteen, named Lise
Noirin, having presented herself to in
scribe her name on the list, was asked,
who was her lover? con- said she
with great simplicity, II have no lover,
l thought the city furnished every thing"
This being told the Count, worthy hus-
band was sought out for the girl, and her
marriage portion doubled

names in matrimony, is very common

FOR THE GARLAND.
ELEGY,

ELEGY,
On the DEATH Of Mrs. MARY BRIAN, Sass
Whence those sad strains Of melancholy wo,
Which pierce the tranquil ear OF peaceful rest !?
Whence do those means of heart-rent sorrow flow,
Whichrouse such throbbing tumults in the breast
Why peals that bell its deep and solemn tone
Striking such thrills of horror to the heart
1t tells my anguish'd soul friend has Aown :
That Death, griln-yisag'd, claims the mortal part
e1
And art thou gone Has that mild spirit fed,
Which erst in days of yore bright genius fr'd I
Are all those charms mould rng with the dead
Charms by native dignity inspird!
Yes, Mary gone Attend, We fair, the strain;
Attend, and kinde, while you read the lay
Oh learn from her that magic pow'r to gair
Which cen in death eluits a glowing ray
To her, the pictur'd page display'd its lore,
To her, bright fancy all her wealth resi9n'di
And arts and letters, from their ample store,
Pour'd forth their treasures to enrich her mind
These are the charms which death can never fade,
These are the charms which time can ne CT de-
These are the beauties, from whose magic aid
The heart is better'd, and each scene gives Joy
She meier, in pleasures gay fantastic round,
Where folly pageants gid the heeting scene
Mid dissipation's vot'ries, ne'er was found
Nor knelt to fashion, as idol queen.
The midnight revel and the giddy dance,
Where Fops and Flirts in gay confusion go;
Like the wild atoms of disorder'd chance
70 her pure soul no pleasure could bestow.
From scenes like these aloof she kept her way
Nor cen in thought approached that thoughtless
crew;
Some new improvement crown'd each passing day
Some mental treasure open'd to the view.
As wife, as mother, daughter, sister, friend
In all the bland affections Of the heart
In all the duties which to virtue tend,
She, still unrivald, play'd her peerless part.
No sigh CT envy from her lips e'er stole,
No sheer of malice dwelt upon her tongue
No rough discor(ant rage disturbed her soul,
Nor fell malignant groans her bosom Wrung.
The temper gentle, and th' affection warm;
The heart where ev'ry social virtue glow'd-
The tranquil breast unmov'd by PASSIONS storm;
The mind whence wit and feeling ever how'd-
These are her boasts-these still unfaiing charms
Which gid the thomy labyrinth of life
Which mend the heart-the soul to rapture warms
And crown with sict'ry natures final strife
And could not these appease the Tyrant's rage;
And bid llte's "purple current" onward flow
No Deaths keen dart, at his appointed stage,
No charm can stay-no virtue ward the blow
Even in that last, that solemn, trying hour;
When suff ring nature yields the mortal strife
She, calm and tranqul--strong in virtues pow'r--
Resigned, without sigh, to God her life
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-12-04

Vale of the Cross the Shepherds tell
lis sweet within thy woods to dwell,
For there are sainted shadows seen,
That frequent haunt the dewy green
BY wandering winds thy dirge is sung,
The convent bell by spirits rung,
And matin hymn and vesper prayer
Break softly on the tranquil air.
Vale Of the Cross the shepherds tell,
lis sweet within thy woods to dwell,
For peace has there her sainted throne
And pleasures to the world unknown;

The sabbath silence Of the hills,
And all the quiet that is given,
Without the golden gates of Heaven

A WOMAN'S PROMISE.

Henry Carey, cousin to Queen Eliza
beth, after having enjoyed her maJesty's
favor for several years, lost it in the fol-
lowing manner AS he was walking one
day, full Of thought, in the garden OF the
palace under the queens window, she per
ceived him, and said in a jocular manner,
:" What does a man think when he IS
thinking of nothing? - Upon a wo-
mans promise" replied Carey, Well
done, cousin answered Elizabeth. She
retired, but did not forget Carey.s an
swer. Some time after, he solicited the
honour of a peerage, and reminded the
queen that she had promised it to him.
" True" said she, 6 but that was a 800
mans PROMISE
DR.. lyall, in his account OF Russia,
mentions that the Countess Orlof Ches-
menskaya, in whose family he was do
INVESTIGATED for nearly year, had, with
in the gates Of one bouse, in 1916, not
fewer than sic huNdred servants, and in
her two houses, about eight hundred.-
The larger of those mansions, the tozvn
house, had front Of 1000 feet, in length,
with gardens Of proportionate extent A
band Of thirty or forty musicians played
every day during dinner; and, unless the
party was unusually large, there were
three or four lacqueys to every chair.

THERMOPYLE.


THERMOPYLE.
Twas an hour of fearless issues
When the bold three hundred stood,
For their love Of holy freedom,
By that old Thessalian flood;
When, lifting high each sword of flame
They called on ev'ry sacred name
And sworc, beside those dashing waves,
They never, never would be slaves
And oh! that oath was nobly kept
From morn to setting sun,
Did desperation urge the fight
Which valor had begun:
Till torrent like, the stream of blood
Ran down and mingled with the food,
And all from mountain cliff to wave,
Was Freedoms, Nalour's, Glory's grave
Oh, yes, that oath was nobly kept,
Which nobly had been sworn,
And proudly did each gallant heart
The foeman's letters spurn;
And firmly was the fight MAINTAINED,
And amply was the triumph gain'd;
They fought, fair Liberty, for thee
They fell-ro DIE IS TO DE FREE
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-12-04
