The following sublime effusion, from the
pen Of john GoLDIE, of Ayr, is, on the sub
ject on which it treats, without parallel
and truly deserves the attentive perusal OF
all, particularly Interested. +.
THE HOUR OF DISTRESS.
oh 'tis not when the fairy breeze fans the green
ocean,
That the safety and strength Of the bark can
be shown;
And It's not in Prospcrity's hour, the devotion,
Fcryour, and truth of friend can be known.
MOI the bark must be proved when the tempest
When danger and mountain-waves close ON
her press
The Friend, when the sky Of Adversity's scowl-
ing,
For the touch-stone of Friendship hour
Of Distress
When Pros7 cri,y's day-star beams pure and
uncoudcd,
Then thousands will mingle their shouts round
its throne;
But oh let its light for one moment be- shroud-
ed,
And tho smiles of the fvithless-like shadows
are gone.
Then comes the true Friend, who to guile is a
stranger,
The heart of the lone one to soothe and ca
ress,
While his smile, like the beacon-light blazing in
danger,
Sheds beam o'er the gloom of the hour OF
distress.
O.! It's sweet, mid the horrors of bleak desoa-
ton,
While pleasure and hope seem eternaiy
| flown,
When the heart is first lit, by the dear consola
| ton,
That heaven of happiness Jet may be won'
Grief fades like the nght-cloud, bliss mingle'
with sorrow,
When the first sunny rays through the dark
ness appear,
And the rainbow of hope beameth bright as u
borrows
All its splendour and light, from smile and {
tear.
O tits those whose life's path hath been cloudes
and cherries,
Can feel that pure burst oftransport and bliss
When the trusted and tried friend comes bold,
and fearless,
To share or relieve the dark hour Of Distress
Past griefs may yet cease to be thought on, bu
never
Can time make the feeling of gratitude less;
MAY the blessings of GODrest forever and eve
On him who forsook not in hours of Distress

The following whimsical circumstance and
peculiar coincidence it is said actually took
place some time since. A boat ascending
the Ohio river, was hailed by another
boat, when the following conversation
ensued:
"What boat is that" "The Chcrryatone. /"
"whence came you," From Redstone."
"Whcre are you bound to-" ':Limestone.' -
"Who is your Captain - "Thomas Stone" !"
"what are you loaded with ?" Milstones
and grindstones" "You are hard set, to

Lightning barn of Joseph Cary,
near Newtown, was struck by lightning on
the afternoon of the 9th inst, and with its
contents, consisting of his whole crop OF
wheat and hay, entirely destroyed. Several
persons were in the Barn at the TING. but
provdcntially they escaped unhurt. AS soon
as the alarm of fire was sounded in Newtown,
the fremen turned out with their accustom-
ed alacrity and repaired to the scene OF con-
fiagration with their engine, but arrived too
late to save any thing.--If three dollars had
been laid out in furnishing this barn with a
Conductor, the fluid would have passed
harmessly into the earth.
Another barn, belonging to John Polk, near
Neshamony Meeting House, was struck by

of his entire crop Of grain and hay, consum-

HAPPINESS.

There is almost an infinite variety OF ways
and means devised by the goodpeople OF the
world to make themselves happy. Some
get married and some divorced-all for the
pure sake of peace and comfort. Some get
into office, and others go out of office, for the
same reason; some labor hard and long, and
are careful, and are troubled about many
things; why? because they caunot be hap
py without all this; others lounge away all
day, and sing, and fy from care, and hate
work, to crafty the same propensity. some
think good dinners and good wine the sum
of fhappiness-othcrs indulge themselves IN
storing away the money these would cost.

SLAVERY.

The draft of the Declaration Of Indepcn-
dence. prepared by Mr. Jefferson, and pre-
sented by the Committee appointed for the
purpose, to Congress. was much and very
judiciously altered by the House. The fol-
lowing passage, which stood in the enume-
ration of grievances, suffered under the King,
was struck out by them:
"He has waged cruel war against human
nature itself. violating its most sacred rights
of life and liberty in the persons Of a distinct
people, who never offended him, captivating
and carrying them into slavery in another
hemisphere, or to incur miserable death
in their transportation thither.--This pira-
tical warfare. the opprobrium of in6dc pow
er, is the warfare of Christian King OF
Great Britain. Determined to keep open a
market where MEN should be bought and
sold, he has prostitutcd his negative for sup
pressing every legislative attempt to prohi-
bit or TO restrain this execrable commerce.
And that this assemblage of horrors might
want no fact of distinguished die, he is now
exciting those very people to rise in arms
among us, and to purchase that liberty of
which he has deprived them, by numbering
the people upon whom he also obtruded them:
thus paving off former crimes committed a.
ganst the liberties of one people, with crimes
which he urges them to commit against the
hueS of another"
HaKing-Therc are few general direc-
tions given by physicians which are so conf
monty misunderstood, and imperfectly fol-
lowed, as the injunction to take free exer-
cise-to walk out daily, and to allow no state
of the weather to interrupt the regularity OF
this exercise. 1t is not the mere circum-
stance of walking which can give any vigour
to the frame or strength to the digestive
functions. Walking is the means of effect
inp certain object, and this last it is that
promises the general benefit of exercise. 1t
is by this means we wish to quicken and in
vgorate circulation, and give action to the
| functions of the skin,-to give start to the
blood and produce a general perspiiation
These two purposes effected, the digestion
is improved, the bowels kept in order, the
equilibrium of the circulation preserved, thu
mind invgorated, and all the powers of thu
system trengthenett, ett,-gcncral health there
fore is the consequence, and without those
effects of walking, the general health vii
decline. 17edicai Llei.

Boston Tea Party.-There is a man by
the name of Nicholas Cambel, now living III
his gath year, in the town Of Warren, x. l.,
who made one of the celebrated tea party i'll
Boston harbor. Of the particulars OF the at.
fair, we learn that the expedition was led
by Mr.. Suel and Mr.. Brown.-The party
was in number about 40, and marched to the
foot Of the wharf, all o. them armed, and
few disguised, when theyl halted. The
leaders went on board, and represented to
the captains and consignccs that the tea was
not wanted, and requested them to seek ano-
ther market for it. These having NO effect,
the whole party, after leaving guard at
the wharf to resist the approach OF any
stranger even unto blood" proceeded to
the vessel and began the work of removal.
The attack had been forcscen; and conse-
quently the party were obliged, in their pro-
gress, to remove matches, cooled ropes,
casks of provisions and other articles, pla-
ced above the tea for its conceaimcnt.-lhe
mates were permitted to look on, in order to
satisfy them that the sole object was the de-
struction of the tea; the captains and con-
signee were bound and confined. After ef-
fectng the object, every thing was carefully
replaced, and the party went to Browns
house, where pipe of Lisbon was broach-
ed for their use.-Nr7uh. Herald.

Last night, about II o'clock, large and
ssrong white man knocked down a gentle
man in Third street, near Cherry, with the
intention of robbing him, but was defeated
in his purpose, through gentleman who
was in his chamber in the second story OF a
house, directly opposite, and who hearing
the noise, Immediately sounded an alarm.
The foot pad quickly took to his heels and
fled down Arch street, whittier he was SO
closely pursued by the watch and few citi-
zens, hastily collected together, that, in his
desperate effort to escape, ne jamhed into
the ripcr! The fcrrymcn Immediately put
off to his assistance, but wishing to gain the
sh5sc at a point where he could remain con-
cealed, he declined their profered help. and
in hope Of effectually evading them, dived
under one of the boats. He was, however,
taken up on the other side, and was this
morning committed to prison. n.--l'hHaerlfh'
