 FOR THE ENQUIRER. MT. EditOr-You are at liberty to use the following written for an album fthey are good for any thing
 1.-THE NIGHT STORM The sky is clear, the breeze is fair The Ongar spreads her snowy wings, Her pendant streams upon the air, And merr'ly hark! her bold crew sings. The yielding wave she proudly parts, And dashing onward gains the main, With eager gaze, and beating hearts, All look for land, but look in vain. The sun drives burning down the vest Has quenched his fires in ocean waves, The moon walks brightly up the east, And twinking stars dart down their rays. A cloud rolls up, the cloud spreads out, It hides the moon puts out all light. Above, below, and all about
 Is one dread moonless starless night. Swift rushes on the storm the storm, Forked lightnngs gleam athwart the sky,
 
 And pillows leap as mountains high. The ship, the ship, where is she now? High rising, plunging, rolling, flying; The frightened crew all stand aghast To see the gale bear off a mast. She dashes on; the greedy blast Has seized in wrath another mast, One sail alone one scattered sail, Remains to catch the furious gale. The lightning tips her spars with fire, The crew the pillows see retire; They rise, rush on, with cruel blow, Clear, overwhelm and sink her low. Sept 13. MoRvEN's FRIEND. PEW TALK AND CHURCH SCANDAL. There is truth and nauiete in the following meeting house melody from the Sentinel and Palladium, eni tied Pew Talk and Church Scandal: That tall young fellows here today! wonder what's his name His eyes are fixed upon our pew Do look at Sally Dame.

Mourning becomes the widow Ames- How Mary's bonnet flares. Do look at Nancy Slopers veil
 It's full breadth too wide; wonder if Susannah Ayres,

Oh, how that organ roars; I'm glad we've left the singers seat How hard Miss Johnson snores What ugly shawls are those in front Did you observe Ann Wild?

FEMALE CHARAcTER.-The very
perfection Of female character is found
in the combination Of knowledge ard
vital piety. Religion makes us good,
and intelligence enables us persuasive
ly to communicate that good to others;
religion gives the substance, intelli-
gencc adds the charm: religion intro
duces us into the garden Of the chris
tan graces, intelligenceselects the flow
ers, and tremendously arranges the
nosegay; religion forms the broad SUI
perstructure Of christian character, in
teliigence gives the finishing touch Of
architeeturaIssymmetry.

WANT OF DEcIsIoN.-Perhaps in
no way do mothers more effectuallv
destroy their own influence with chill
dren, and injure them, than from the
neglecting to practice decision.--The
following little fact will illustrate the
pernicious influence Of this course of
conduct.
A little girl remarked short time
since that beaver hats were quite FASH
ionable, and she would have one. "Have
you forgotten said l, sthat your mo-
Their yesterday remarked that the hat you
wore last winter is quite neat, and that
she did not intend to encourage extra
vagance and love Of fashion in little
girl" All, WE'LL" replied she, ono
matter for that-mother said that our
Susan should not go to Miss WIS par
ty the other evening. because she was
very much afraid there would be dan
cling there: but when sister cried about
it and made fuss, mother consented
to let her her go, and bought her new
pair of shoes and pretty blue scarf to
wear. Besides, l am quite sure it is
quite right to wish to have fashiona-
bic hat to 60 to church in, and | tease
mother to buy me one. And Ikno,o
that IsAaH ret it-jor mother often
changes her Mind"

tanist, is still travelling among the Roc

flower-its fragrance and beauty are
not cvanescent. 1t remains fresh and
blooming. The winter of discomfort
and the storm of misfortune cannot
blight this fair flower. Itremains beau
tiful and lovely amid the ruins Of time,
and the horrors of contending elements
only test its value and give out its en-
chanting hues. Yet, even friendship,
with all its charms, evergreen as it is,
without the influence Of religion, is in
capable of affording true happiness.
But when enwreathed with Sharon's

The ATLANTIC AND PAc1T1c.-From
a printed document lately received by
us from Bogota, we learn that the con-
fgress of New Granada have granted 10
Mr.. Charles Biddle the exclusive pri-
|vilege, for fifty years, Of carrying goods
and passengers in boats propelled by
steam or other artificial means ON the
river Chargers, and to associate per-
sons with him, under the title Of the
Transportation Company Of the Atlan-
tic and Pacific Ocean.
THE decree reserves the rights gran
ted tosBaron De Thierry the goth Of
May, 1888, in a previous act of the
congress, authorising the construction
of a canal.
Canoes, pireques, and other undeck-
ed vessels, carrying goods and passen-
gers, are excepted from the operation
of this decree.
A further exclusive privilege for the
same period is granted to Mr.. Biddle,
for the transportation of goods and pas
lsengers, by railway or Macadamized
road, from the head Of navigation of
the Chargers to the city of Panama, re-
serving to the public lateral transport
|tation road for horses and mules.
Extensive concessions of land are
made to Mr.. Biddle in the same de-
cree, in which colonies of natives and
foreigners may be settled; and exempt-
cd from certain contributions for TWEEN
ty years.
All materials necessary to the con-
struction of boats and roads of the conn
pany are to be free of duty, az well az
all goods in transit to other places.
The worksare to be commenced with
in two years from the date of the de-
cree, (April, 1860 and to be finished
in three years from their commence
ment.
The rates Of transportation are to be
fixed by the company, with liberty to
change them annually, giving informa-
ton to the. government of the altera-
ton. The troops Of the government
and the public property are to p2II Ralf
price.a
AttIies end of the fifty year
perty Of the company reverts on
vernment.
One of the last provisions Of the de-
cree ordains, that if two steamboats, at
least are not kept in operation, and the
communications are not kept CONSTANT
ly in such state excepting accidents)
as to admit of the transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific being
effected in fourteen hours, the exclu-
sivc privilege is to be forfeited, and
the company to pay fine to the gov
eminent of ten thousand dollars.

EUROPEAN RoYALTY, is an expen-
sive material. Even in the little king
dom of Hanover, it costs good round
penny. A new law has recently been
passed, which runs to this eject
"The king has for his family and

besides capital of 96oo, 600 sterling,
the donation ofthe crown, to tlaa e=s
OF 100000 rix dollars. The queen
dowager is to receive, according to this

dence suitable to her rank, 10000 rix
dollars in gold, annually, and sum of
10000 rix dollars in gold as an outfit.
The crown prince receives, from the
time he becomes of age, $4,000 dollars
in gold annually, residence suitable
to his rank, and when he marries for
the first time, an additional income of
10000 rix dollars in gold. A dowager
crown princess, receives a fixture of
10000 rix dollars in gold annually, be-
sides residence fitted up and furnish
ed in manner suitable to her rank.
The princes, sons of kings, receive
$4,000 rix dollars in gold per annum,
and on their marriage, an addition of
5000 rix dollars in gold per annum.

ces descend in the male line, each alone,

Of the appanage. Should an appanage
in the course of descent, fall below the
amount of 5000 rix dollars i'll gold, it
shall be made up to that sum out ofthe

last male descendant Of the first holder
Of the appanagc, it returns to the State.

AppRENr1cEs.-Much inconven-

APPRENTICESHIP inconven-
fence Inexperienced by mechanics, from
the desertion of apprentices. Scarcely
one young in ten serves out his whole
term; but after having acquired the ru-
diments ofthc business, they think they
know more than their masters, and
leave without simple 81 thank We"
as requital for all the trouble and ex-
pense they have occasioned. The fault
is as much the masters as the apPren-
tees. 1t is common, but very erro-
neous impression, that no apprentices ID
held for damages sustained blythe mas
terwithout indentures.-Thi is ! gross
mistake. Apprentices and guardians.
are liable to the master for any DANA
ges which may be sustained by reason
Of misconduct or dosertion; whether
the apprentice is bound or not. But
in general those that desert are light
headed, faithless, good-for-nothing dogs,
whose recovery would be gilmore seri-
Gus inconvenience to the master than
their loss. The most effectual means
Of checking the desertion of apprenti-
ces, would be for established mechan-
les to refuse to receive or encourage
any one whosdoes not bring an honor
able discharge from his master; and at
the same time let every runaway ap-
prentice be advertised.
