A FAMILY SCENE.

Plain writer's say, and javial Poets sing
That faithful wedlock Is an excellent thing,
II sosths the cares, it heals the pangs Of strife
Escorts maR kindly, TO the close Of life.
Can he, thsy say, that is blest with mate
Feel toll or pain the svl OF his fate
Bat others say. when sighted by Belle
Ye're painted fools, ye're hyroeritcs Of He'll,
With bold sffrontery, declare a wife
The painful curse. the legal bsne of life.
Be il blessing, or be it curse
That woman was created ON the rarih
Is not my purpose. TO affirm or deny
A tale III tSll, and pass the query by.
In days OF yors, when piero'd with cupid's dart

As was seated, near tho charming Miss
Feeling the pulse, or iuventing pun

When 10 two or three girls, two or three boys
All dirty, ragged, and making a noise,
One crying for thls, another Tor that
One kicking the DOG. another Tie cat
L. came the mother, who, setting alone
Their Boisy msuths stops with slice of ono,
And gives plate OF niolasses TO Bill,
To keep tbs others calm, quiet aud s,ill.
The ma,ron hated the dryerting show,
As the tall daughter eyed The young beau,
But then the sly urchln, al eoyef'd with grease
Set on the hearth, 10 examine each piece,
ones the thiekesi, brcadest longest,
Let him that's weakest, beware the strongest

Together down they sst--sl teie-a.tste

The assistance of the secret agents scattered
over our territory, and the foreign population
which is corrupting us by its contact to the
core, to bring us again under that political
thraldom, which our brave sires scorned TO
allow, and which we should swear like broth
ers to repel.
Thirdly, have said, that regular system
of emigration or transportation OF discomfort
ed subjects and burdensome paupers to our
shores, was adopted and practlsed by the Bri-
tish Government and to sustain me In this
assertion, it is sufficient here, IN addition to
the various facts which Others as well as my
self, have given through your columns, to
quote the authority of Mr.. Shiel, the Irish agi-
tator and patriot and the proceedings of the
Liverpool Corporation, in relation to the fraud
and llavery which was exercised to induce
the poor and needy to embark for the United
States. Vide accounts of the speeches and
proceeding on those two occasions, and doubt
who can!
Mr.. Editor, send you these hasty and SUI
perficial remarks, as the name and doctrines
of our Association and Paper, tend to the
adoption OF any reasoning or action which
will have beneficial influence towards pu-
ritying and fixing the national character. II
becomes you. particularly, as the friend and
editor of Native American principles, not only
to protest against the political interference o.
foreigners and aliens in our rights and privi
leges as natives, but also by your approval OF
Idisapprobation, so far as in you lies, to foster
indigenous productions in taste and art, anc
to check that unfortunate preference which is
|openly shown to European talent That you
have acted up to the creed of the Native Anne
rican Party, am proud to assert: that your
editorial brethren have followed your exam
pie, am sorry to deny; for, with very few
honorable exceptions, they have been founc
ministering to the distorted and unnatural ap
pctites of the public, and false to the mandates
of national policy and honor. may resume
this subject at another opportunity, as | re
gard it one of thehighest importance to all ma
| ltives, and shall conclude with a quotation
from Cooper's England, for the reader to ap
lpiy. 1t is as folows:-"Ther is one point or
this subject on which we admit degradation
unknown to all other countries. Every com
munity is obliged to submit to the existence 0
its own impurities, but aoe imbibe those which
are generated in the most Fictitious and high
wrought, and consequently, the most corrup
state of society, in christendom. This il
another of the evils arising from want O
pride and national character, the people, which
IS thrown into convulsions by the worthless
structures of any foreign traveller, on the
elegance and tastes, permitting the very pu
tridity of foreign corruption to tester in ano
pollute its BOSOM" Reader, ponder and b.

REMARKABLE PREsENTrMENT.-One of the married
ladies of Charleston, who embarked in the ated Home
resided for several months previous er departure with

MUSIC.
IT'S not in the harp's soft melting tone,
That music and harmony dwell alone:
IT'S not in the voice SO tender and clear
That comes like an angels strain DER the cart
They both sweet, but DER dale and hill,
For Inc there's as beautiful music still.
hear it in every murmurng breath,
That moves the bells OF the purple heath;
In the watch dogs bark, in the shepherds song,
In the rustic's laugh, as it echoes along;
In the whZZing sound of the wild birds wing
There's music, there's music, in every thing
There's music in the first lovers sigh,
That answers the glance OF the melting eye,
That watts it home to the lovers heart
And bids his idle fears depart:
And raises the trembling blush in the cheek
And says far more than words can speak.
There's music, too, in the evenings breeze,
When it shakes the blossoms from the trees,
And watts them in the moon-lit heaven,
Like iairy barqnes from their anchors driven;
And they, thro' the clear and cloudess night,
Float in waveess sea of light.
There's music, too, when the winds are high,
And the clouds sailing through the sky;
When ocean foams and ashes the shore,
When the lghtnings fash and the thunders roar;
Yes, cen in the tempest's jubilee,
There's music and grandeur and beauty for me.
There's music, sweet music, where insects play,
When they burst into life and the light of day,
And shake such sounds from their shining wings,
As winds make in murmuring Ger harp strings,
In the song of the birds, in the rippling streams;
OH these are such sounds as we hear in our dreams
There's music unheard, that is only felt,
In the bosom where passionate feelings have dwelt:
Where the purest and warmest of thoughts have blen
To tune the heart like an instrument
From whose chords, as time hath o'er them flown.
His wing hath but walked tender tone.
There's music most blest in the house of prayer,
Aye. the sweetest and loveiest of music is there;
When the innocent voices together blend,
And their mingled tones above ascend;
There is the holiest music given,
From the hearts warm altar up to heaven.
