THE COTTAGER'S DAUGHTER.
A SKETCH.


Mary Irving was the daughter of an
humble cottager, who earned his daily bread
by the labour of his hands and the sweat
of his brow. She was his only child, the
light of his old age, and the comforter that,
in health, was the delight of his heart, and,
in sickness, the minister of every restoring
gift. All the village knew her for a duti-
fnl daughter, and wondered not, at the ex-
treme fondness of the old man for his child
Now that her mother was dead, and her
brother far away from the land of his birth
and the home of his infancy, having enlist
ed as soldier early in life, where could a
fathers preference be bestowed more Just
ly, than on one who sacrificed every thing
to make him happy, and who seemed alone
20 draw delight from the silent smile that
sat on his homely countenance. But, alas !!
the spoiIer came, and robbed this nest of
domestic felicity.
Albert Jones was young man, the son
of a neighboring farmer. He was youth
ofa happy, light, and careless turn of mind,
and possessed warm, friendly heart, at
least such was every ones opinion, and
every one could not be wrong. But, alas
every one was wrong In that Instance, and
the fatal termination of the whole told q
fearful tale of human fallibility.
Albert Jones wooed Mary Irving, and
pressing his suit with all the warmth and
assiduity of young enthusiastic lover.
Having gained her heart, he soon won over
the scruples of the old man, who wished to
see his daughter settled in life ere he de-
parted hence; and his few white hairs, and
| his wrinkled brow, warned him that the
| period was not far distant.
Mary Irving became the wife Of Abe rt
Jones, and every one said they were q
couple made for each other; but the honey
moon was scarcely over and gone, ere
Mary saw that her husband was far from
what she had ever dreamt him 10 be.
| Every village boasts its alehouse, every
village has its due quantum Of choice
spirits, as they are called, and every village
has its little club that meets at nights to
discuss politics, and something stronger
than small beer. Here, then, did Albert
Jones flourish, and here did his happy
spirits kindle beneath the influence of spir.

of more humiliating nature. He had 6

would seem, had poisoned the sweeter cur.
rent of his mind, and turned the water,
that night have flowed on in calmness, tc
enlighten and endear his domestic moment,
T., gall and bitterness.
Many an evening had Mary to sit up til
midnight, waiting the return of her husband
and when he did appear, reeling with drink
and dissatisfied with every thing, she woult
wipe the tears from her eyes, but her hear
forbade her to rail and be angry; she gave
him gentle rebuke, hoped he might reform
and pitied him. Months passed on, but ne

FROM "BRAMBLETYE HOUSE,"
The Quack Doctor and his Patients.

"Crossing stile in the direction of
the sound, he beheld a fold of sheep,
with two men leaning on the wattles, one
of whom was his lordship. The other
was a mountebank quack- doctor, who
having got drunk over night at a neigh
bouring fair, had strayed to the sheep
fold, and imagining himself, as he lean
upon the hurdles, to be in front of his own
ilinerant tumbrel, was haranguing his
wooIlen auditors upon the merit of his
medicines, with most stolid and grave
ahsurdity. The vacant look of the sheep
who had formed semi-circle at little
distance, and were gazing in his face, the
fixed drunken eye of the orator, staring
at the sun as if puzzled by the phenom-
enon, and his tottering efforts to recover
the centre of gravity whenever he bow
ed to his fancied customers, were render
ed still more ludicrous by the solemn fol-
ly of his address. TO a dark faced
sheep, whom he individulized as a gen.
tleman of an atrabilarious temperament,
he most urgently recommended the pre-
cious elexir of the phial he held, and so
saying, he dropped his tobacco-box at his
feet; upon ram with large curling
horns, whom he apostrophised as the
worthy magistrate in the perriwig, he
enforced the necessity of taking box
of his incompatible pills, and accor-
dinghy tossed him a bunch of keys !;
while lamb, addressed as the sickly-
looking young lady in white, was intreat-
ed with maudlin tenderness to take some
of his precious powders, Of which he
rendered her one in the form of clasp
knife. His ridiculous perversions of
long-winded medical terms, his frequent
hiccoughs and hesi,ations as he stopped
to stare with stupid bewilderment at
the sun, his exclaiming when any Of the
sheep bleated; 81 will answer that OBJ
lection presently" and the asinine anger
with which he occasionally turned to
Lord Rochester, and damned him for a
lazy tapster in not bringing him another
tankard of humming bub, had occasion
ed those shrieks of laughter which had
attracted Jocelyn to the spot, and had
afforded treat to his lordship that he
declared he would not have missed for
all the heiresses in the three kingdoms" !"

The gipsy paused--the maiden sigh'd,
A heaviDg sigh she turn'd TO hide,
Then slow and sadly bent her way
To yon lone tenement Of clay.
While muttering words Of magic power,
The Sybil sought her woody bower;
And to cheat the Aeeting time,
Mused my sad feelings into rhyme.

Oh cast that shadow from thy brow,
My dark eyed love, be glad awhile,s
Has Lelia's song no music now
Is there no charm in Lelia's smile?
There are young roses in her hair,
And morn and spring are ON their bloom;
Yet you have breathed their fragrant air
As ssome cold vapor from the tomb.
There stands the vase ofchrystal light,
Veined with the red wines crimson stains,
Has the grape lost its spell tonight?
For there the cup untouched remains.
took my lutte for one sad song,
sang it tho my heart was wrung,
The sweet sad notes we've loved SO long;
Yet heard you not, though Leila sung,
Ipress'd my pale, pale cheek to thine,
Tho it was wet with many tears,
No pressure came, no answer mine,
No murmur breathed, to sooth my fears.
All. silent still' then know all
My fate. And must we part at lasG
Thy mercy, gentle heaven, recall
Only the memory Of the pasG
Never yet did the first June flower
Bare purer bosom to the bee,
Than that which yielded to loves power,
And gave its sweetest wealth 10 thee.
Twas a new life: the earth, the sky,
Seemed to grow fairer Tor thy sake;
But this is gone, oh destiny,
My heart is withcred, bid it break.
My garden will be deso!ate,
My flowers will die, my birds will pine;
All once loved now shall hate,
With thee changed every thing Of mine.
Oh speak not now, it mocks my heart,
How can hope live when love b DER?
lonly feel that we must part,
only know-we meet no more!

FLEA PowER.-Moufet relates that
an ingenious English mechanic, named
Mark, made golden chain of the length
ola finger, with lock and key, which
was dragged by flea; he had heard of
another that was harnessed to a golden
chariot, which it drew with the greatest
ease. Another English workman made
an ivory coach with six horses, coach
man on the seat, with dog between his
legs, a position, four persons in the
coach, and four lacquies behind-which
also was dragged by a single flea. AT
such a spectacle, one would hardly
know which most to admire, the strength
and agility of the insect. or the patience
Of the workman. Latraille mentions a
flee of a moderate size, dragging silver
cannon on wheels, that was twenty-four
times its own weight, which being charg-
ed with powder, was fired ithout the
flea appearing alarmed.

Sometimes in the evening, a
little girl dressed in plain and homely ap-

herself on the middle one, and weeps, as
an orphan child weeps over the grave of its

ofthe neighbors, and knows little of her
history, and has CLEANED thus much from
their friendly talk, that her father was not

died with grief for the loss of his only
child, and had left her the little that main

1t may not perhaps, be necessary to assign any fur
Their for this short posponement than are con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
err, beg leg leave to add that when this class is
sued few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
lyzed every kind of business, and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnaton in trade. The
distress Of capitalists and moned institutions has not
been confined to any single state in confederacy,
but has been severely felt from extremity OF the
country to the other and has been general in several of
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries. And
will not be considered a matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced SO recently the post
ponement of the drawing of important lottery, should
havea similar effect on one ofmuch greater magnitude
But is hoped that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes OF our ct
zens in every part of the Union will participate IN
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now Of
fered is by far the attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prnccy fortunes or handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken an interest IN TINS Lot
terry, now have an additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme, they
viii insure An early distribution Of the rich prizes con-
tains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn as soon
as the sale of tickets will justify; and the prizes paid
in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited TO forward and take ticket
or share at either of the managers offices; where all
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended to by the publics obedent servant
