EARL FirzwILLiAM.-The following
little story is so pretty in itself, and so
creditable to both parties, that we cannot
refuse it place in our columns, though
it has appeared elsewhere. A farmer
called on Earl Fitzwiliam, to represent
that his crop Of wheat had been serious
ly injured in n field adjoining certain
wood, where his Lordship's hounds had,
during the winter, frequently met to hunt,
and he estimated the damage his crops
had suffered at 5Ol. The Earl immedi-
ateIy gave him the money. AS the har-
vest, however, approached, the wheat
grew, and in those parts of the field that
were most trampled, the corn was strong
est and most luxuriant. The farmer
went again to his Iordshp--I am come,
my Lord, respecting the field Of wheat
adjoining such wood "Well, my
friend, did not allow you sufficient to
remunerate you for your loss" eyes,
my Lord, / have found that | have sus-
tanned no loss at all, and have therefore
brought the 50L back again" "Ah"
exclaimed the venerable Earl, 'this is
what / hke-this is as it ought to be be-
tween man and man." He then enter
ed into conversation with the farmer, ask
ing him some questions about his family
how many children he had, &c. His
Lordship tEen went into another room,
aud returning, presented the farmer with
check for 1901. "Take care Of this;
and when your eldest son is of age, pre-
sent it to him; and tell him the occasion
that produced it. t."-Eng. pa.

THE LOVERS LEAP.

Suggested by little traditionary legend
the rocks bearing that name IN the vicinity
NrwTonr, r..
The stars overhead were blinking.
The fog-couds were all out ut sea,
Fair Cynthia's crescent was sinking
Down the hills side far o er the lea.
The night-fowers fragrance was sailing
Over meadow, riv'let and glen,
The day-birds' voices were failing.
And Philomel warlled again.
Abroad o'er the fields were strayias
Two lovers in loves sken chain,
Around them young hope was playing
Her delusive but sweetest strain.
When the maiden look'd up to h.av'n,
Love beamd f.om her st.r-lit eve,
Her soul TO loves trance WIS giv'n.
She WINS pIigh,ed forever and aye
The youth-canst thou fthom ocean.
Or measure infinite sp1cs'
Then how shall the devotion
Inspir'd in his soul by that face
All! we know that time is feetest
When JOY fills our cup to the brim.
That oft when morning is sweetest,
The skies are at ev'ning most dim.
Fen thus is this tales sad ending.
Which with flowing tears relais,
How hard the strife when contrndug
With the tempests Of adverse fate!
Sweet reader, the surge is flying,
Still in foam as in years gone by,
Where dark, deep chosm j. lying.
Whose walls lifl their tops to the s.y.
This youth and maiden nv toilinr.
Had clin.b'd to their lofiiest steep.
There leaning, vet half reco'ing,
They gazd down the horrible dcep
Some earthquake had torn esunder
The rock, and an awful ravine
Yawn'd widely, where shapes Of wonder
And phantoms Of dread had been seen.
All sweet in her loveliness turning
Spoke the maiden, her lover was near,
Thou hast lov'd me while summer was burning,
Wilt thou love me when the green leaf is scarf
Thou hast lov'd while bright hopes were bearni
And gay JOYS dane d their revels around,
Wilt thou love when tears are cleaning,
When youths charms in life's winter are bound
Then give me, nv lover, tohen,
shall then surely prize thee the moro,
See'st thou where Won cliff hath been broken,
Darst thou from this crag TO bouud o'er'
Like some fiery meteor d,rtng,
Or sltning's fash bursting in night,
As soul and substance were parting,
He shot from her agoniz'd sight.
In vain did she strive TO oppose
AS he msh'd in headlong career;
Twas late-he gone aross
One sound from that cavern Of fea-!
Oh! who shall describe the feelings
That distracted her bnsom thrn
The anguish, the wild Gppcalmgs
To him who shall ne'er hear again.
She utter'd shrek Of despair
And oonvulsively sprang- but the spell
Was burst Ike n bubble in air.
And the films fom her eye-lids fell.
The beams ofthe morning were stealing
Forth in joy fom The far eastern skies,
Fach ray round her couch revealing
Cleans Of home to her wondering eyes.
Her own taper's rays we're throwing
Their last beam Ger her parian brow,
Her cheeks swee'es, bloom was glowing
Where, where is her dark vision now
IT'S gone with the night shades aeetiis
IT'S vansh'd to pain her no more,
She soon met her kind lovers greeting,
Her heart beat as light as before. f.: D. M

Tho Captan, it appeared had dined with two
gentlemen who do good 10 mankind by delivering
tracts and other proper pieces of instruction to the
lower orders. and in the course of dispute upon
the Christian religion he got so heated with zeal as
to be obliged TO apply frequent correctives to the
thirst which followed. Ills friends would have tax
en- care of him, but the subject had similar effect
upon them, and they had recourse to the same means
of supporting the controversy SO that when they
separated they were all three staggering drunk One
of the tract spreaders had the good fortune to fall
into theshands of new Police man, who gave him
share of the station house for the night while the
other, in fit of enthusiasm, looked about for fl
object upon which to exercise his calling, and light
ed upon Mary Shea, who gave him SO melancholy
an account of her circumstances that he accompani
led her home to see whether she was speaking the
truth. After having sympathised with her for about
an hour, he fell into what low fellows call snoozc
and as Mary Shea began to feel a congenal thirst
upon her. she emptied his pockets and went off to
gin'ahop on Tower Hill. II happened that Captain
Baylen had turned into the same consdrn and as he
belonged to profession to the members of which
her acquaintance limited, an intelligent sort al

GENTLrMEE:-I hope you will excuse the
delay in acknowledging the receipt of your let
TER Of the I'd ult. which has arisen from my alb
scence from home, and from various engage
meuts.
Waving the considerations that have no
knowledge of the existence of AN antmasonic
meeting in Hanover, (Indiana.) other than that
which is derived from your letter, nor Of your
appointment as Commute to correspond with
me, other than your statement, nor the salts
faction of personal acquaintance with you, l
will proceed at once to reply to your letter.
Its professed object is to ascertain my senti-
ments on the su ,ject of masonry; and the rea-
son assigned by you for this inquiry is thus
stated by ourselves:-'Aswc are again short
ly to be called up IN to choose man to preside
over the councils Of this nation; as it will then
be our duty and privilege to raise our humble
but independent voice in favor of him whom
we deem most worthy of our suffrage; and as
you now stand candidate for high and inn
portant station, as your friends and fellow-cit-
liens, we would solicit from you a frank and
candid statement of your sentiments on this
subject
do not know solitary provision in the
Constitution Of the United States, which con-
veys the slightest authority to the General Co
vernment to interfere one way or the other,
wi th either masonry or antimasonry. If, there
fore, President Of the United States, or any
other functionary of that Government. were
to employ his Official power to sustain or to a.
bolish. or to advance tie interests of masonry
or antimasonry, it would be an act of usurpa-
ton or tyranny.
You have not called upon me for my opinion
upon any great practical measure falling with
in the scope of Federal power; but passing by
every question of vital interest, within the
sphere of its operation, you demand my senti-
'ments upon subject with which humbly con-
ceive it has nothing to do, and you place this
demand on the ground of the influence which
my sentiment might exert upon the exercise OF
an important privilege which you possess as
citizens of the United States.
compliance, on my part, with your de-
mai'd, would amount to an implied admission.

masonry, formed proper consideration in

DEAR SIR:-As the time for the meeting of
the Convention at Baltimore is near, in pursu,
ance of my promise, have the honor to adj
lfess you, on the subject Of our conversation
lat Columbus.-There are now three candi-
dates for the Presidency before the people
General Jackson, Mr.. Clay; and Mr.. Calhoun,
have all been nominated by their friends, in
public meetings and otherwise, and they must
consequently, be considered as competitors for
that distinguished station. The addition Of a
fourth name to the lists of candidates, and es-
Ipecially one as humble as mine, might lead, in
so far as any influence could be attached to it,
TO distract. still more the public mind. This
| do not wish to see, as do fear it would he
Injurious to the best interests Of the country.
/ If, by multiplication of candidates, an e.
Election by the people should be prevented,
should consider it a national misfortune. In
1.-THE present agitated state of the public mind
an individual who should be elected TO til,
Chief Magistracy, by less than.a majority Of
= the votes of the people, could scarcely hope &c
: conduct, successfully, the business Of the ma.
ton. He should possess in advance, the pub
lie confidence; and majority of the suffrage,
of the people, is the only satisfactory evidence
, of that confidence.
Il My situation on the bench, imposes consid.
leratiohs of prudence and delicacy, which do moi
Iarise, perhaps, from any other official station.
u Whilst no one can deny the right of the peo
-Iple to select their Chief Magistrate from any
of the branches of the Government, it woul,
seem that member of the Judiciary SHOULD
decline the contest, unless the use of his nam,
would be likely to tranquilize the public mind
and advance the prosperity of the country.
4 Without presuming that my Bame would b.
: favorably considered by the Convention,
'lhave to request that if il, should come unde
reconsideration. yon will make known, the rea
sons why. most respectfully decline the hon
or of being presented to that respectfully bod,
for nomination to the Presidency.

were not to tender to my friends in the Con
5 vention, my, warmest gratitude. for their ia
vorable consideration and to assure them, tina
: shall never cease to cherish recollection 0
: their good opinion. ,

Hon. HENRY CLAY;
SiR--Having been appointed by an antima-'
sonic meeting in Hanover, Indiana, to open
correspondence with you, for the purpose of
ascertaining your sentiments with, respect to
masonry, we take this opportunity of address
sing you on the subject. We feel ourselves
impelled to this duty, and to the taking of this
step, from the consideration that in us is placed
a part Of the sovereignty of this country; that
on us as constituent parts of this government,
depend the perpetuity of our republican institu-
tions, the character and prosperity of our ma
ton, to guard with studious care our rights,
and to detect and exterminate whatever has a
tendency to corrupt our republican institutions,
or set aside our laws. The subject of freema-
sonry is one which has of late engrossed the
attention of the people in many parts of the
United States. 1t is subject of vital import
ance ahd demands the serious attention of ev-
cry christian, patriot. and republican. What
may be your sentiments on this subject, we
know not. BY some il is affirmed that you are
now mason of the highest order, and a zeal
Gus supporter of the masonic institution; and
BY others, that though you were once mason,
you have of late abandoned the society and are
now opposed to the institution; SO that we have
been unable as yet to ascertain with certainty
your sentiments on this subject. As we are
again shortly to be called upon to choose a
man to preside over the councils of our nation
it will then be our duty and privilege to raise
our humble but independent voice in favor o
him whom we may deem most worthy of ou
suffrage; and as You now stand a candidate 70
high and important station, as your friend
and fellow citizens, we would solicit from yoI
frank and candid statement of your senti
meuts on this subject. We solicit this wit
the more confidence, because we believe yo
have always sustained the character of tn
frank and afable friend, and the faithful an
undisguised politician. and that you woul
scorn to obtain the suffrage of the people b
concealng your sentiments.
