THE BEGGAR.

"A few weeks since, mendicant appear >ed in our village, pale and emaciated, and convulsed with spasmodic affectlonsbrought on to all appearance, by an irritation of wounds received in the battles of our in- dependence. The many and deep scars with which his scull and breast, and arms, were disigured, eyinced that the tragedy of our revolution, ,had been to him no blood less drama. He asked not for the means to pamper appetite His face bespoke him an honest and temperate man. He begg- ed only for humanity's sake, a pittance to support nature, till he could reach his few suryiving friends, farther north. It was an affecting sight to see an old man--a veteran Of that sacred war, (in which he had lost three sonsl--begging aims to aid him on to the spot, where, in wretehed ilovei which he could call his own, he might put I'D his last prayer for his ungrateful country, cover his face with his tatsered mantle, and die.
 And thou hast seen, thou say'st old man,
 The Lion in his ire;
 Whan from his strain'd and blood shot eye,
 Flash'd out vindictiye fire. And thou hast heard, old man, thou sayst,
 The terror of his roar,
 That echo'd 'mid our mountain rocks,
 And rang along our shore, And thou hast stood unblenchingly.
 His grisly front before-
 When carnage wav'd her dripping wing,
 And drench'd the earth with gore. God help thee, father. for the world
 Is pitiiess and cold
 It sheltereth not the shelterless--
 Revereth not the old.
 Ave. it can gaze upon the front
 That battles stamp hath seal'd; And leave unfill'd the withered hand,
 Tco weak it's blade to wield. Why left they not thy welt'ring corse
 On Bunker's smoking steep When thro'thy brow the death shot plongh'd
 That furrow broad and deeps Or why on orktown's crimson plain
 Didst thou not yield thy breath! Far better, had that bloody sleep
 Been the long sleep ofdeath. Then hadst thou bled as Warren bled,
 And like Montgomery died Thy name been chronicled among
 The heroes of our pride. God give thee, father, words to beg
 Choking with shame--thy food; Those scars proclaim thy country g veal
 Those rags, her gratitude.

From .aageio's "Reminiscences. DIR. JOHNSON,S PUDDING.

Last summer made an excursion to Scotland, with the intention of complet- ing my series, and went over the same ground described by the learned tour ists, Dr. Johnson aud Boswell. ] am oin .he hahitof taking very long walks on these occasions, and pereeiving storm threaten, l made the best of my way to a small building. l arrived in time at a neat little inn, and was received by a respectable looking man and his wife, who did all in their power to make me comfortable. After eating some excel lent fried mutton chops, and drinking a quart of ale, asked the landlord to sit down and partake of bowl of whislzey punch. ] found him as the Scotch gen. erally are, very intelligent and full of anecdote, of which, the following may serve asa specimen.
 ssSir, said the landlord, this inn was formerly kept by Andrew Macgregor, a relation of mine; and these hard-bot- toned chairs (inwhich we are now sit ting, were, years ago, filled by the great tourists, DT. Johnson, and Boswell, tti;av- cling like the lion and iackall. Bos- well generally preceded the Doctor in search of food, and being much pleased with the looksof the house, followed his nose into thelarder, where he saw fine leg of mutton. He ordered 1t to be roasted with the utmost expedition, and gave particular orders for nice pud- ding. Now says he, make the best of all puddings.' Elated with his good luck, he immediately went outi search of his friend and saw the giant of learn- ing slowly advancing on pony.
 ssMy dear sir,n said Boswell, out of breath with joy, $ good news! l have just bespoke. at comfortable and clean innhere, delicious leg of mutton; it is DOW getting ready, and ffatter myself that we shall make an excellent meal.' Johnson looked pleased md hope," said he, yen have bespoke pudding. J "Sir, you will have your fayorite pad- ding" replied the other.
 < Johnson got off the pony, and the poor animal, relieved from the giant, smelt his way into the stable.--Boswell ushered the Doctor into the house and ss..sa. left himtopfepare for his delicious treat. Johnson feeling his coat rather damp, from the mist of the mountains, went in- 10 the kitchen, and threw his upper gar ment on a chair before the fire; he sat on the hob, near little boy who was very busy attending the meat. John Son occasionally peeped from behind the coat, while The boy kept basting the mutton. Johnson did not ike the ap- pearance of his head; when he shifted 1he hasting 1adle from one hand, the oth- CT hand was never idle, and the Doctor thought at the same time, he saw some thing lan on the meat, upon which he

The editor of the U. $. Gazette gives the following humorous account of one of those
 evils to which printers are exposed.
 Pl-We were sent for yesterday morning to visit the press room ot our office, where form ot the paper had fallen into pi. We gazed with mourniul visage at the "wreck of matter,o and sighed to think how evanescent were the causes for felicitation--how tleeting the brightest gleam of satisfaction. But a few moments before, and the form lay before us, ga map ofbusy life. ."--1here was Greece and the story of her muta- tions; and in delightful juxta-posltlon, was Turkey to the left Spain and por- tugal were remembered; our own eoun- try had its locations, and its events were recorded with glowing pen. The scenery was enriched with fleets of ships sailing in sscolnmns,n and here and there a house dotted the landscape: the bard was heard from Parnassus, and Hymen lighted lis torch with sitl. glee. gllee But hew changed! What a revolution---a con- vulsion. The packets and steamboats lay bottom upwards on the sAlIegany Portage, sreai estate in Chesnut street had fallen indeed, and an extract from Dr. Channing's Sermon was found in the midst of one of cur correspondents 'moral essays 'Reportsofpub sales and trecent appointments,' were hud- died together, sGreece' was mingled with the concerns ofthe sallied powers,' the Smarriages'were all inconfusion; and remuneration of the leading politicians of the times, had fallen among articles sfor sale.'
 While VIC stood in the midst of the confusion of the broken form, like Ma rius among the ruins of Carthage, we were called from our contemplation by the philosophy of our devil, who, with his composing stick in his hand, had set himself down to the work ofreforrn, quo ting from Pope the admirable adapted line.

FH9HE primary object of this work viii
 A be, to check the rapid progress oftws alarming evils, so fatally prevalent in our country, viz: lntemperance and Infdelity, which, like the cankerworm, are stripping 1 the walks of life of all it's flowers, and leaY- ing the moral world leafess desert. To do this the more efectuaiIy, we shall pour tray in the most vivid colors, the deformity and deleterlous consequences of these most deadly evils, by interesting moral tales, sketches, fragments, essays, and scriptural illustrations. We shall endeaVor to cher ish in the hearts of our readers, the sublime and benevolent sentiments of the blessed gospel of Jesus Christ-to exhibit the beau ties and rewards of virtue in all their cap- tlvating lovliness-to awaking the better feelings of human nature-to cultivate the SOCIAL and DOMESTIC afFections--to deal the mind through the most delightful aven- ues, to the bowers of happiness and peace ito elevate and enlarge the conceptions ito imbue the understanding with the nest exalted ideas of inimitable attributes and perfections of the Grea. Divinity--thereby leading mankind to < fear God and keep his eommandments.'
 To accomplish these designs, we shall call to our aid all the eioquence of truth, clothed in the most facinating forms-such as moral essays, simple or pathetic tales, varying :" from grave to gay, from lively to sereneo-peetieal sketches a;aac.:s articles in yerse-and sometimes to enli- ven our pages, tale of fancy-a humorous story--an afegory--a hafiad--or a song will receive an insertion. Tn each and in all, the great end and aim will be, to con- vey moral and religious sentiments, thro' a pleasing medium, to the heart--or, in other words, to blend ss the useful with tho sweet.'

With these oiailis for patronage, the work will be submittec to the consideration of candid generous public.
