EFFECTS oHSpEcULATIoN.-Asu sue
cessful speculation is oitener an evil
than blessing; upsets all ones notions
'octhe value of time, Of industry andof
money; it is moral evil, because it
violates the laws of nature, which re-
quires that part Of every day, and
every year Of ones life, should be de-
voted to procuring the means Of subsis-
lance for the day and year; and he who
by what he calls a lucky hit, secures to
himself what he calls a fortune, some
time cuts off from the remainder Of his
days wholesome and natural source
of pleasure. Ifhe has devoted all his
powers and energies to mammon, for
the best of his life, he is sold to him,
and no more lives TRANQUILITY, without
his stimuli, than can he who has been
excited for years by alcohol give up
the stimulus. Hence you find such
men uneasy and fretful in old age;
hence, often it is, thst they are envi-
Gus and vexcd at the sight Of happiness
in others; and that they seem to think
poor man has no right to enjoy him
self more than they can who haye
earned a hundred thousand dollars

WHAT is LIFE?

him, "Iph0t is i/e?" but he heard me

THE CAPTIVE CHIEF.

Chained In the tented field ne stood.
A man of giant FRAME,
Amid the gathering multitude.
Al stern Of look and strong Of iiias,
His dsri eye o. the gtclnd;
And silently they gaze on hiin
As 60 a bon bound.
Yainly, bat well, the chief had fought;
He was captive now;
Yet pride. that fortune hHnbles not,
Was writ,sa On his brow.
The scars his dasa broad bosom wore,
Showed warrior TUG and bTaT1:
A pyInce among hiss trfbe before,
lie could not be a slaTe.
Then 70 his conguerer he spake-
ny brother is king;
Undo this necklace from my neck.
And take this b.aceiei ring;
And send me where my broiber reigns,
And | viii fill Thy hands
With store OF iSory from the plains,
And gold dust from the sands.'
sSot for thy ivory nor thy gold
Will ! unbind thy chain:
Thy bloody hand shall ne.er hold
The battle spear again.
A price thy nation never gave,
Shall yet be paid for thee;
For thou shall be a Christians slave,
Inlands beyond the sea-
Then spoke the warrior chief, and bradc
To shred his locks away:
And one by one, each heavy braid
Before the victor lay;
Thick were the locks and long,
And deity hidden there,
Shown many wedge Of gold among
The dark and crisped hair.
Look! feast thy greedy eyes with gold,
Long kept for sorest need:
Take it, thou askcst sums untold,
And say that lam freed.
Take tiny wife, the liye-long day,
Weeps by cocoa-trce,
And my young children leave their play,
And ask in vain for me-
Il take thy gold: but have made
Thy letters fast and strong;
And wcen that by the cOcon-shadc.
Thy wife shall wait full long,
Strong was the agony that shook
The captive's frame To hear,
And the proud meaning of his look
His heart was broken--crazed his brain;
At once mis- eye glew wild:
He struggled fiercely with his chain,
Whispered, and wept, and smiled!
Yot wore not long those fatal bands;
And onco at shut 0f day,
They drew him forth upon the sand,
The foul hyona's prey.

AN UGLY CUsToMER.-On Tuesday
night oflast week, while Mr.. johnson
and his assistants were drawing gill
met set for sturgeon, in the Delaware,
near the mouth of the Rancocus, below
Burlington, one of the men finding his
lend of the net well supplied, reached
out to help in with his hand the larger
fare, when he thought he distinguished
a swapping kind Of noise, not unusual
in the sturgeon. Unwilling to trust
his fingers where jaws were. SO rapidly
wagged, and seeing by the moonlight
an u fin, he, with his comrades,
flung moose round the tail of tho fish,
and thenthey rowcdup to Dunks' Fer
ry, on dragging the net ashore, they
found that they taken shark, about
nine feet four inches long, with jaws
large enough to accommodate the head
and shoulders Of any well made gen
tIeman; and to render the accommoda-
tions complete, there were six rows Of
good strong teeth there, well fixed and
five eighths Of an inch in length. Had
the company been fishing with shore
net SO as to have been called into the
water to take out the fish, it is posi-
BILE that the shark would net have died
|unrevenged.
There was found in his stomach a
a whole shad, which he had taken,
against the statutes and ordinances
Regulating the taking shad in the Del
awere; and had he come in the way OF
the boys bathing in the river, it is to
be apprehended that he would have
made fatal exhibition Of his powers.
The shark weighed 700 pounds, U.
