THE UNWELCOME GUEST

Why will you tease me, TRAY !-begone
My fruit thou shalt not have
These grapes to me, and me alone,
My dear kind mother gave.
"Away nor be so impudent,
UNWELCOME GUEST, and rude!
Go! give thy boldness elsewhere vent,
Noi longer here intrude."
The prattle thus, when honest Tray,
Indignant at the wrong,
Seemed, with expressive look, to say,
(For prudence tied his tongue,)
"My little friend, it makes me grieye,
You should be SO unjust,
As to imagine would thieve,
Who nc'er betrayed my trust.
"But oh It grieves me more to find
That one so young and fair,
Should be the owner Of mind
So full of selfish care.
"Thou see'st no plferer in me,
covet naught that IS thine:
But beheld thy sportive glee,
And wished in il to join.
"Thy unkind words may damp my Joy,
And all my mirth suspend,
But cliangeless in fidelity,
iii ever be thy friend.
All! how depraved mankind must be,
In nature and in will,
When one, unknown to harm like thee,
Of others thinks SO i'll.
Thy selfshpess will ever send
Suspicious through the breast
And make man treat his truest friend,

nETECTING ROGtIES.

Our once famous Mr.. Morehead is said To have dcs
ciared in his pulpit that he knew Of man in tho
congregation who stole his neighbours wood and that
he was determined to throw his bible at the suspecA
ted thief whereupon certain man immediately
lodged his head to avoid the slow. There is also
a story of Nathaniel Ames of Dedham, the we'll
known almanac maker. 1t is said 1--WE do rot vonch
for the truth of the story that, in oviai company
of his neighbors one Of them declared he had loss
sum OF money, and believed that some one Of the
persons present had stolen it.--Ames told him he
could identify the thief; if he as present, without
searching the pockets. He ordered the large kitcll-
en- pot to be brought into the room, and the cock to
be brought from the hen-roost and placed in it with
the lid on. The room then made perfectly dark
and each person was directed to rub his hand on the
bottom Of the pot. If any was guilty Of the theft
when he touched the vessel, Ames said the cock
would CROW. The ceremony was finished, but the
cock gave no token Of the approach of the crnln-
al. Come, said the stranger, here must be some
mistake there is thief among US but let US Look
; at your hands. On examination with light, twas
found that one person present had rot rubbed his
hand on the pot, the inference was too strong to be
resisted and the cuprt pleaded guilty to the charge

POWER OF CONSCIENCE.

Mr., Editor:-The following story was told me.

ested me SO much, that l have thought it would be
acceptable to your readers, and might induce some
persons, when under strong temptation to steal, To

sneak with you aside. The tavern keeper followed
the man into the further part OF his barn, when' with
shame depicted in his face, and embarrassment IN
his manner the stranger took from his pocket sill

brpafasted at his house, and stole the spoon he then

PARIs.-The nuptials of MaGemoiselle La
6rte with the young Prince de la Moskwa (the
son of Ney) have been celebrated with princely
magni6cence. Between Is and 1900 persons
were assembled at the iete given by Nj. La6,te

company were several Peers, a great number Of
Deputies, Generals, men Of letters, and public

five hundred ladies, many Of them remarkable
for their beauty, and all in the newest and

by a concert, in which the principal singers

ed at The piano. In the intervals oil the con-
cert, the bride and bridegroom walked arms
in-arm through the various apartments. The
bride wore veil and robe of the most costly
point lace; on her head was the nuptial crown
Of orange flowers: her ear>rings were formed
Of two remarkably fine emeralds encircled
with brilllan,s, and from which hung in form
of a triangle three large diamonds; terminated
by three large pearls en- poire; diamond neck
lace-or as the French more 2oelically call it,,
a rlrer of diamonds, surrounded her neck, and,
in the words Of The old ballad; "cast light
through the hail." The extreme paleness Of
her countenance, rendered still more striking
by the raven 5lackness of her hair, and the
melancholy, languid, and almost suffering
expression OF her eyes, offered a singular
contrast 10 the cos,liness Of her dress and the
scene Of spleudour and magni6cence amidst
which she moved. The bridegroom had no.

SURPRISING DISCLOSURES

SO GhlSlN " DlSSLOSURES.
Several instances Of fraud, forgery and bur.
glary, have taken place within the last six
months, evincing an adroi,ness and skill rarely
equalled in this country, and which have not
often been cXcellcd by the most accomplished
adopts in the old world. BY the vigilance of
the New York Police, several of the rinelead-
ers have been apprehended, and are now in
the way OF meeting their deserts, while such
information has been OBJ aimed as will, it is be.
lieved, lead 10 the detection aud arrest of more.
Ii appears tina, there was gang regularly or
ganized, and extending Throughout, the whole
country, with their committees Of correspond
ence aud vigilance. Some singularly remark
able circumstances have grown out of these
Il transactions, Of which the following is as brief
detail as we can give, consistently with the
variety of facts related.
In the course Of the last fall, several stores,
belonging to some Of the first merch ants in
n York, were broken open & plundereti 1f mo-

large amount. One of these was ha, OF q. G.
and 5. Rowland, which was broken open on
the night Of the l3lh Of October On the 5th
check, purporting TO be signed by that firm,
for seven thousand seven hundred and sixiy
dollars, was presented at the Union Bank and
paid. 1t was soon ascertaiued to be forge>
ry, and discovered that the bills, (Which were
of large denomination) in which it was paid,
had been exchanged a, the United States
Branch, and the Chemical Banks. There can
be little doubt that it was ascer,aiaed, when
the Howlands' store was broken open, from
their books, that they had funds in the Union
Bank, and al the same time, probably, their
signature was found, and The means thus OBJ
tanned of counterfei,ing it. Several persons
were arrested on suspicion, among whom was

States Hotel in Pearl street, on whom suspi-

But there runs through the whole Of the Ian
guage imputed 10 General JACKSON 4 confusion
Of facts which lessons our surprise that he
should have permitted himself 10 make a
charge, concerning us, which he is utterly un4
bic 10 produce a particle of evidence TO sus
tain. For instance, the General is made 10 in.
innate that honest George Kremer's Letter was
suppressed. and tina its suppression had some
influence in defeating his election: indeed, as
the statement was understood by Mr.. Sample,
il would seem that to this suppression the loss
of his election was mainly attributed, by. the
General Now, IN the first place, the Letter
of Mr. Kremer was not suppressed at all We
declined, it is true, giving il Whatever addition.
al sanction il might receive from being first
published in the National Inteligencer: but ii
was published, the very day afer il was offered
to US, in another journal in this City, and was
universally read. 1t was sometime afterwards
publ shed also by us, as belonging TO the hsto-
ry Of the times. In the next place, the publ.
cation or the suppression OF honest Mr.. Kre-
mer's Letter coulG have had no possible inha-
ence upon the result of the election in The House
Of Reprr senlati,es, for that bgars date siriesn
days AFTER that eiecfioa'
1t appears, therefore, first, that honest George
Kremer's Letter was not suppr, Ssed: and Sc
condly, that, iii was suppressed IL could have
had no possible eject upon an election which
was over before it was written,
In coming 10 determination respecting :he
public alton Of the Letter Of Mr. KREMER, the
only friends, consulted by the Editors OF the

mepts, and DISTINGUISHED friend Of Gen JACK

regard 10 the publication Of that letter.
