From sde Y. 7. Com. .4auerfiser.

Among the steerage passengers of ship Francois lst on her last passage, there was an old weather beaten grena-
 dier of the imperial guard. with the le- gion Of honor in his button hole, one Of the l400 who IS years ago had follow ed Napoleon to the island Of Elba-
 fhe French police, however, knew him, s.Ittie thanks for it, and the poor fellow was so yexed and iiarrassed, that iil of- der to escape starving he resolved upon leaving his country. He did so, and embarked with bis family on the 2d June in the Francois l>t. The old man's fate excited a lively interest among the e;1bln passengers, and they among other means advised him to ad. dress himself to Joseph Bonaparte, 4er which purpose they drew up for him q petition. Provided with this and his military testimonials the old nan re solved 10 seek access to Ceuat SuryiI- iers. Arrived at New ork he hasteH- ed down to the wharf to inquire the amount of the fare to Bordentown, at the very moment when the philadelphia stealn-heat arrives. He boards the boat, and leoks around for a French face, and addressed himself to the first gentleman in his way. His question is politely answered--he begins to talk about his intentions about going to Bordentown, and the gentleman becomes more at tentive, and seemingly more interested. 1t last the gentlenaan asks the old gre nadier about his papers, which he ex- amines with the petition. Ny friend, says the gentleman, assign you here, with fffcen dolIa7s a monthas q pension for your life time. ] lam Joseph Bona parte--you may proceed to Borden town, where yoa shall be so provided for as to make you forget your past mis- cries.

 IVortiiag sIen.--No class or classes of people in this country ought to arrogatc to themselves an exclusive claim to the title of Working men. That portion O our population who liyo without person al exertion and labor is comparatively small. There are, 1t is true. some oe- |cupations which have more of the out ward appearance of labor than others. equally or more afduous. But the "opcratipesa in them, are not, for this reason, entitled to the exclusive appel iatioi ol 4 U orilifig men. iis per. sons wilo have ,emeayored to originate a distinction which ought not to exist, between ssoperatives, in different de- partments of labor, would, we suppose. place the Secretary of State, and the heads of the other departments among those who do net toil, whilst d mason or carpenter would be dignilied with the tile of q Working man. and be invest ed with all his flncicd privileges and limmanities. And yet the cares, the re- responsibilities, nay the actsal labor as sumed anu undergone by the former, are infinitely more severe in every re- Ispect than the manual employment of the latter. The occupations of the first compel him to hazard the injury to the loss Of the health consequent upon q SC ldentary life, and the addition of private teares, if is to be feared in many instan. ices, causes him to devote the hours in tended for reposc to assiduous labor or wearying reflection. The employment lof the mechanic or working man is, on Ethc other hand, conducive to health of body and eheeriialness of mind-to a proper application of the hours of labor land of sleep, and is generally attended with bnt little care that is irii..r:s,a ;.. its effects or permanent in it's duration.

 From AIr. Mercer's Speech in the Virgin
 Ia Convention on the basis of represen-
 fatien.
 The eqality of man is written on his aeagt and stamped upon his visage, by sshe Author of his heinz after whose ssexpress image he was made" While other animals look to earth,
 0s hemini sublime dedit ad sidera tollere
 yultus.
 lis rights spring from his wants, and these from God, the author Of bis nature. He cannot exist out of society, because society is essential to his existence. His first relations are those of husband and father. That period, which in other animals is short of dependence on parents care, is in man protraeted for pnrpo-es the most beniiceht. The in- iaat gathers his first instructions from his mothers lap. His best virtues he imbibes from d fathers care, and a-nother's tenderness. When age over takes the parent, the son repays with kindness the kindness he has received. If the crutch drops from the feeble grasp of his sire, he picks it up and re- stores it to its trembling hand. patr- 3 otism is but filial love enlarged. When we think of our country, we dwell on tho memory of our early years, on the forms of those who gave us our being and watched over its imbecility. When slley are gone, we revisit their remains. and from the unconscious urn inbibe anew the inspiration of their virtues.-- Does not the savage cherish these affec- tions? The Tartar wanders over the interminable plains of Asia, from cline to cline, acconanied by his tloclys and herds; the Indian of America roanls through forests yet more wild, but they revisit the ton1bs of their progenitoTs, and recount to their children the story of their deeds.
 Are not these natural affections at the. foundation of all the moral rights and : duties of man: Sympathy, is il not as natural to man as to the gregarious ani- n1als which he gathers around hima- Out of these feelings spring the ele- snents soE Society. Is there no proper ty known to the savage life? Even the bird defends her nest, as the lion does his den; the former with less vigor, but with equal zeal. ne hunter decorates his cave with the tcr of the animal he aas.kiiied; and stores away in time of plenty the provisions which season of want may require. lie has his own bow and arrows for the mountain deer; and when lie approaches the water side, his canoe and spear for the fnny tribe. En contempt of danger armed with rude instruments, he traycrses the land and the water under the influence of the same feelings which prompts the civil ized man to build permanent hahita- lions, to till the land, and to lay np the fruits of autumn for the necessities o. winter. How can labor and property : be separated? Property is at once the fruit and the spring of labor. The an- fhor of the Essay on the Human Under standing, in the treatise on civil govern nent, tells us emphatically that he means 5y property to denote the life, lib- erty, and all the possessions of man.

OF the bud and opening Hover,
Mysoll delighted sees
Stern winters robe of grey,
Beneath Thy balmy sigh,
ike mist wreaths mel awav,
When the rosy laughing day
Lifts up his golden eye.
Shirt of ETHEREAL birth
Thy azure banner floats,
n lucid fields Der air and earth
While budding woods pour forth then
mirth.
In rapture rathing notes.
; see upon thy tleecy cloud
The spreading Of thy wings;
The hills aud wales rejoice aloud.
And Nature starting from her sllroud,
TO meet her bridegroom springs.
Spirit Of the rainbow zone,
or the fresh aud breezy morn;
Spirit of lne clines where joy alone,
Forever hoyers round thy throne,
On wings Of light uPborne
Eternal youth is io thy tram,
With rapiure-beaming eyes
and beauty with her magic chain,
and hope, tina, laughs al present pain,
Points up 10 cloudIess skies.
Shirt ofove of life and light,
Each wear we hail thy birth

Int sets to rise m skies more bright,
To bless the sons OF earth.
With leaf, and bud, and bluShing flower,
Sill deck the barren sod
IN thee we trace "a higher power,
In thee We claim a brighter dover,
