THE BITTER BIT.

A travelling Tin Merchant, from the
land Of "wooden nutmegs and horn gun
flints," while moving with his PORTABLE
warehouse through an adjoining town,
called upon a very shrezud descendant
of St. Crispin, or in other words, pref
ty" wide awake" Shoemaker, who hav-
ing on hand Plausburgh dollar, thought
the present opportunity very fine one
for disposiug of it--besides the immor-
tai honor he would acquire by having
" suck'd in Yankee Pedlar," con-
sideration of no small importance, it be-
ing generally believed very difficult
point to accomplish. He accordingly
bought tin haste horn, and giving a
knowing wink to the by. ISLANDERS, offered
his Pittsburgh bill, and requested the
change. The pedIar looked grave and
shook his headline did not like the bill,
he said he had heard the bank was down.
Crispin said "there was no such thing
The report was Sc, afoat by brokers
and spectators, men not to be relied
upon--the bills were perfectly good !;
as good as specie--and as to that matter,
a hstle better, because j. was less trou :
BILE to carry it," and all the spectators
joined with him, in recommending the
bill to be good bill, and the bank that
issued it, to be bank Of exceeding
good repute." The bill being so high.

lar put it in his pocket, and handed GU,
the change--the by-standers put on long
faces-the shoemaker laughed behind
his ears, and no one looked really hon.
est but the pedlar. But trading did not
stop here; Crispin, elaled with his sue
cess, offered to sell the man of TIN lot
of shoes, at reduced price for cash.
The pedlar bargained for them at $40
deposited the shoes in his cart.box-
paid the amount in Plafts6urgh bills
and drove leisurey off, whistliDg the old
tune Of" Catch a Weazie Asleeh."

BY BISHOP HEBER.

BY BISHOP HEBER.
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From lndia's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand
From many an ancient river.
From many palmy plain:
They call us to deliver
Their land from Errors chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft Ger Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile;
ln vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn;
The heather, in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
6hall We, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from ON high,
Shall we to men benighted,
The Lamp of Life denyl
Salvation! oh, Salvation!
The Joyful sound proclaim,
Till each remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name
Watt, watt, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till. like sea of glory,
1t spreads from pole to pole A.:
Till DER our ransom'd nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Reoeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

THE PAoHA OF EGyPr.-In a work
recently published a. Paris by the Count
de Noe, entitled, Memories relahfs
Perhedition .4nglaise hartie de Ben
gale en- l8OO," sc. we NEE, with Gu
rious anecdote respecting this famous
Egyptian despot.
Mohammed Yousouf, q Circassian
by birth, had been sold in his youth as a
slave to a Pacha OF Asia Minor. His
master, struck with his handsome face
and manifes, talents, conceived strong
liking for him. and adopted him as his
son. Soon alter this the rebellion OF
Oslou Pacha took place, and both ia
Their and son joined the force sent to sup
press it. They arrived just in time to
witness the defeat Of the Turkish Ad-
miral by Oglou. The admiral, who
was to answer, according to usage, with
his head for such a disaster, could de-
wise no other mode Of escaping from the
consequence than that Ut throwing the
blame on some OF his officers. His
choice fell on the Pacha, the adopted
father Of Mohammed, and to NOLAN
med himself he applied for aid to draw
his father int the snare, promising him
the spells. He succeeded to his utmost
wish. The unfortunate father and his
adopted son, visited the Admiral's tent,
where the conversation happening to
fall on the perfection TO which the En-
glish had brought the manufacture Of
fire arms, the Admiral produced pair
Of London made pistols, one of which
was loaded, and the other was net. The
one not loaded was presented to the
Pacha, and while he was admiring it's
beauty, the Admiral discharged the o.her
at his head. He tell to tho earth, and
HE unnatural son completed the work
with his dagger. This execrable act
procured for Mohammed the post Of
Kiayo Bey, or Vice Admiral. The
bloody head Of his pa,ernal friend was

was charged with the disgrace Of de.
ieat which another person had suffered.
Not many years elapsed before, through

ComMEScEmESr.-Weh have been informed by
a member Of the Senior Glass; that no arrangements
have been made by them for the celebration Of the
approaching Commencement. At class meeting
held some time since, committees were appointed to
make the necessary arrangements but as soon as
the parts were given out by the President the class
again met and by nearly unanimous vote, dis
charged the committees from further attention to
the objects of their appointment. We cannot be-
lieve that any impartial person will feel disposed
to blame the class for the course which they have
pursued, when they are informed Of the conduct Of
the government towards them.

Mr.. EDIToR-Will you tell u.s. when YOU will
recommence the publication of the Portraits of the
Opposition. You have promised to give us the re-
naming sketches for the last six weeks and yet they
have not appeared. Tell US the reason of this de.
lay and disappointment. WARD s. HopKINs.
In reply to Messrs. Ward s. Hopkins, and hume.
rous other gentlemen who have asked for informa-
ton on this subject have to say, that under ex-
istins circumstances, it is impossible for us to pre-
sent any more of the sketches for some weeks
We have not promised to complete them at any par
ticuar time, but have only said that we would pre-
sent them when convenient. Our present engage
ments with the honorable gentleman of Maine, and
the University, will occupy larger space in our pa
per, than could wish, and will of course exclude
the portraits Of the opposition. We are not insen
sible how much we are indebted to those gentle
men, who have spoken in Aattering terms of our
humble sketches Of the opposition, and shall as soon
as practicable complete them aud it is not unlikely
that we shall az ain take them up in the course of
two or three weeks. In the interim we bespeak the
indulgence Of our readers. The sketches when COM
pleted, will be put into pamphlet form, if proper
encouragement should be offered, that those who
think them worth preserving, may have them in
less perishable shape.

Mn. FRANCIS WAYLAHD, JR.-This worthy man
has relinquished the PASTORAL charge Of the lst
Bapsist church in Boston, for the Profess0rshp Of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, in Union
College.-This may suit well with the popular
notions of many in the present day but we frankly
declare that in our view the individual who quits
the awful functions Of q minister OF Jesus Christ,
to which the Holy Ghost has called him, for any
mere secular occupation, acts very inconsistently

issued at Utica, N. Y. by the New-York Baptist
State Convention, the profits of which are said to be
SACRED to the cause Omissions This may, and it
may not be the fact-the affair, however we have
nothing to do with, and we let pass quietly and
peacefully. We notice the article, merely because
the writer of it PROCESSES to have regular and con-
slant communication with the church triumphant,
and to be the immediate organ Of all that is holy
and sacred, and to be authorized to anathamatize
and applaud, the members Of the Church Mill.
tant just as he pleases.
He has taken upon himself, the privilege Of de-.
nouncing the Rev. Francis Wayland, Jr. because
that learned and accomplished gentleman, has, in
the exercise of his Constitutional prerogatives,
thought proper,to relinqush his parochia dutiestor
the fulflment Of the still nobler one of imparting
lessons Of pety, and the rich stores Of Literature
and Science to the youthful mind. Because the
Rev. gentleman has declined the vocation OF pub
lie preacher of the Gospel, for the sake of extending
the religion Of Jesus of Nazareth, in an important
literary and scientific establishment grave and
most holy writer, has poured upon his devoted
head, vial Of wrath, and by implication charged
Mr.. Wayland with open apostacy, and directly, of
inconsistency. How very pious he is-how wor-
thy Of the great and glorious cause ofthe Ro1eeme.

that men, are not allowed to select for themselves
the avocations which they shall follow, without

tention to the heated zeal ofhypocrits and Bigots-
we think he will continue to judge andto decide
for himself fth$ceurse which is most proper for him
to pursue.-Ifitc be matter of the least graft.
fcation to the writer Of the article under oon.truc

that Mr.. Wa yland, will commit still grosser sin,
than the one imputed to him, by the acceptance Of

We assure the Editor of the Hartford Times, that
we neither seek nor decline controversy with any
of our contemporaries, and that we shall always
openly, fearlessly and independently, utter
timents and opinions, whenever our paper, or the
cause in which we are engaged, is assaied. The
paragraph to which the Times has thought proper
to allude, originated in this paper, and was
based upon indubitable authority, and has subse-
quently been satisfactorily confirmed. We are sor-
ry the gentleman still strives TO enforce a belief
that the paragraph issued with hope of elicit
ing political sympathy in behalf of the Secretary Of
State, and We now tell him that such an inference
s'inconsisent with the fact, and that none but an
illiberal and cantins pedagogue could have drawn
such conclusion. We regret that a man, who on
other subjects discovers some of the higher attri-
butes Of our species we'll as some of the eegan-
cies of literature, should in moment of excitement
SO far lose sight of decency, propriety and the CON-
mon principles Of humanity, as to be guilty OF
chuckling at the misfortunes which man is heir TO-
As the humble advocate Of the present administra-
tion, we have noticed the attempts made by the
opposition, to desoate the sanctuares of domestic
repose-we have marked their invid ious designs to
destroy private reputatisn--to destroy The temple
of virtue and the lustre osindvdual greatness-and
we have in our feeble way, endeavored to repel
their assaults If we have failed the misfortune is
ours, and ours only.
To the charge Of being the bigoted advocate, of
the Administration, we plead not guilty, and in our
own defence, have to say that so long as Mr. Adams,
administration, is conducted on its present. pure and
republican principles, it shall have our humble sup
port. But when it swerves from those principles,
with which we have by education been imbued,
we shall be among the first to denounce it and
that this press 81 ands or falls upon its own merit,
and that the patronage of the government has moi
been extended to it-and furth er, that whilst we
are connected with it, it shall be conducted with
independence, and without fear or favor.
lfthe gentleman wishes controversy with us,
We are prepared to meet him.

"No deceit, no cruelty, no acts Of barbarity,
too great to be perpetrated by these barbarians--
these invaders; and ruin marked their marches over
country, which had been formed for the abiding
place Of the innocent and the happy.
The wild winds of heaven. were not more rude
than the blasts Of their enemies, and the storm and
the tempest of the skies fell not indiscrimi-
nately, upon the just and the unjust than did the
scourges Of their assalants the unprotected and
unofending aborignals. Persecution was the
watchword Of the foe, and vengeance was the re.
taliating word Of the injured. They met, they
fought, and the oppresser conquered-he trod upon
the neck ofthe hapless Indian. Driven from their
native soil to unknown regions, the few that re-
mained, lived but to tell their melancholy tale to
had sustained, like the ancient Carthagenian, they
compelled him, to vow eternal hatred to The enemies
of his sire As the footsteps Of the whiteman were
more frequently impressed on their native soil
as civilization and christianity progressed-as fast
progressed the insults, and the injuries of the abo-
riginal, until the cup of human suffering filled.
Driven from place to place, and from spot to spot
they at last found themselves, in regions unknown
to their sres, and unfrequented by their ancestors
hapless, hopeless and forlorn-without hope to
cheer them, or wish to be gratifed. Thus We
leave them wretched, miserable and detected
sport for the elements with other protector than
the Great Spirit, the everlasting King of Kings.
Alas, thrice unhappy aborisinals! when will
their suferings cease when will the cup of their
misfortune be flled Their native land affords
them no asylum-persecution follows them wherev-
er they shall go. Earth affords them no joys, ani
their only resting place is the dark cold grave.
