shall afford that protection you will
seek in vain from any other power.
She arose, saying, 4 worship neith-
er fronts of brass nor feetof clay; my
trust is in Israel's God.'
sPrating fool, your life is in my
hands, and dare you defy me?'
True, you may kill me; but the
Christian fears not death, and in that
you will restore me to those sainted
parents of which Russian butchery has
deprived me. Go pander for baser
monarch, and no longer disturb my
devotions.'
Threats and entreaties were alike
fruitless. There is no decd, said she,
sfrom which your nation would shrink;
but my brother would think lightly Of
his life, purchased at the expense Of
his sisters virtue. Your glory may
dazzle for while but it will set in the
starless night. Begone, command
you, northinkto bride a Polish maiden.
He left her, swearing vengeance,
and in the execution Of which, he or
dered mental to bring her forth for
the amusement of the soldiery, well
knowing that female delicacy shrinks
from the public gaze. She entered
the camp cool and collected; for if she
had female gentleness, it was united
with masculine firmness. Tauntingly,
she was asked to sing.
Il used to sing said she, sfor my
father, his spirit may be permitted to
hover near and respond to the song Of
his child.'
She sung a little ballad, composed
by herself in prison. The words were
as follows:-
sThe sun tnged the western sky,
And cast its shadows far around:
To God III raise the orphans cry
He heard the sound.
When through, the gloomy cell tread,
raise my feeble voice and sing
To him who is the orphans God,
lie knows t''sr wrongs.
And there is hope for MISERY'S child,
Where despot's banner never wavo-
Where monsters virtue meier beguiled--
Gods power to save.'
She ceased. The demon was con-
vulsed with rage, and ordered her back
to await her wretched fate. Silently
she followed her conductor, but in pas
sing dark hall, her hand fell upon
sleeping sentinel's sword. She grasp
ed it-he awke not-and in her dun
geon i, drank the blood Of the same
being who first deprived her of her
liberty.
Woman's imagination is ever fertile.
Quick as thought she was arrayed in
the garb Of the fallen soldier, and pres
ented herself before the common Jail
demanding certain prisoners for the
qualification Of his master. Their
names were given, and so,neo Poland's
bravest officers were again at liberty.

CHARLES F. ADAMS, Esq. is lee
turing before the Historical Society at
Boston. The subject Of his last lecture
was "Materials for History in the
treatment Of which he is said to have
furnished some admirable Revolutions
ry anecdotes in relation to the wife Of
the first President of the United States.
It's to be regretted that the t'materials
for history" which may he found in
all sections of our country arc not made
more familiar to the Public. The
American Revolution was an occur
renee fraught with the noblest daring
and the most touching self-sacrifice,
not only on the part Of those who bore
arms, but of their mothers, wives sis
tiers, and daughters. However these
instances Of devotedness to the cause
Of liberty may have escaped the gener-
al gaze of history, they have been trea-
sured up in the sanctity Of the domestic
Preside, and will, we trust, be drawn
forth and exhibited as bright examples
to those Oh whom Providence has im-
posed the solemn duty Of preserving
the freedom for which their forefathers
fought and bled.-TBalt. Amer.

forgotten, that national pride is no sure
indication of national prosperity-that
boundless anticipation is no certain
omen of boundless reality; and that

V1Rc1N1A.-A third series of reso-
lations on the subject Of a currency has
been introduced into the Senate Of Yir-
ginia. They recommend the establish
ment of State Bank, on state account,
with large specie capital, and branch
ed in different parts Of the state. The
capital to be procured by sale Of state
stock in foreign markets-the profits
Of the bank to be applied to payment
of the capital, until extinguished, and
then to the commonwealth-the local
banks to be invited to surrender their
charters, and their stockholders to take
in lieu the state stock, which shall be
30 much stock in the new bank. Those
that do not surrender shall be suffered
to expire, and branches put in their
places. The state to be pledged for
the redemption of the notes Of the new
bank, aud the directors to be appointed
in such manner as the legislature may
prescribe. The resolutions adopt the
opinion that such system in all the
states would regulate the currency, and
supercede the alleged necessity for a
national bank. Copies of these reso-
lutions to be forwarded to the Cover
nors Of the several states.
This scheme has perhaps this adj
vantage over the present banking sys-
tenn, that it devotes the profits arising
from the business Of banking to the
general benefit of the citizens. In
other respects we see neither justice
nor policy in it. 1t is going out Of the
proper sphere Of legislation. Virginia
might as well 60 into the hardware
trade, or, like some European govern
ments, monopolize the manufacture Of
salt and the cultivation and sale of to-
bacco. The state governments, we
fear, will make as wild work Of bank
ing as corporations chartered by the
states have done.-[N Y. Eve. Post.

the preseRce Of these pests of societyor that they

tncton shall be made between vrtuous wife and

We are compelled 10 speak out on this subject
our duty to the public, duty to wives, daugh-
ers, and sisters, demand it. They have been in

lings with the materials.

init of; but in so doing, we mean TO call things by
their proper names-we mean to say that vice is vice,

TosAcco.-The introduction Of the use OF this ar
tice, forms singular chapter in the history OF man.
Kind and il may well excite astonishment that the
discovery in America OF a nauseous and poisonous
weed, of an acrid taste and disagreeable odor-in
short whose only properties are deleterous
have had so great an influence on the social condi-
ton OF all naons-,hat it should have become an
article OF most extensive commerce and thatit cul-
ure should have spread more rapidly than that 81 the
most useful plants. Itsintroducton into the eastern
continent was every where marked with rldicule and
persecution The book written against Il by James l.
10 well known but a hundred others OF the same
character were published in various languages Rope
Urban Will exoommunicated those who took teoac'
ca in churches; the Empress Elizabeth also prohsl-
ted it's no. in chsrches In Trassylvanla an ordi-
nance was published in 1859, threatening those whe
should plan, tobacco with the conhscai'on OF Their
estates The Grand Duke Of Moscow and the king
Of Persia forbade suse under the penalty Of the loss
of the nose, and even Of death. Al present the as
pect Of affairs 30 much changed, that all the sove-
reipns Of Europe, and most Of those Of oil parts Of
the VERDI derive considerable part OF their revenue
from tobacco.

Fax IN BaooxLvN.-About nine o clock Saturday
evening, fire broke out in the temporary carpenters
shop Of Mr.. S,cbbins at the corner Of Henry and
Warren streets, Brooklyn, which, together with It's
contents, was in few minutes entirely consumed
The FIRE quickly communicated to several large piles
Of lumber, Principally composed Of "worked STUD,
which was intended 10 be used on a row Of buildings
going up on Baltic street, belonging TO the "South
Ferry Building Association" The less is estimated
at from four to five thousand dollars. Fears were
entertained al one time for the safety Of the unfinished
buildings on Baltic street but in consequence Of the
great exertions Of both the Brooklyn and New York
remen, those buildings preserved. The fire was
no doubt the work OF an incendiary, as ne fire had
been used in the workshop where it commenced, du-
ring the day.
ASoTHkR FIpE.-At half past IL o'clock on Sunday
morning fire broke out in the jewellry store Of Mr.
Henry Hoy, loil Cherry street, but was soon sub
dued by the family with the assistance Of Their
neghbors. Loss estimated at six hundred dollars
no insurance, Mr. Hovts policy having expired but a
few days since. The fire is supposed to have orgi
mated by the ignition Of some lucifer matches con-
tanned in drawer in the establishment
gT The Chinese Light exhibited at the Mocha
aics' Fair Saturday right set fire TO the roof OF
the saloon. Through the good arrangements and
exertons Of Mr. Conroy and others the fire was soon
put out.

ADOPTED CITIZENS REsPEcr ron THE LAWS
One Of our City Marshalls in the execution of his
duty Friday last in serving legal process upon
Irishman by the name Of Patrick Fitzpatrick was
assaulted in most violent manner by the defendant
and his wife, the latter aiming a blow at his head
with a Ratchet. They were finally arrested and
brought before Justice Iloodgood. The lady, upon
being presented to the magistrate, observed that her
Irish blood was all on fire to be revenged of the off,
GER Justice Bloodgood promised the enraged lady
to place her in situation where her blood would get
cool, and sent them both into the cells.

INTERLUDE |


Saturday morning all Pearl street was in commo.
tion-such an ementc has not been witnessed since
the morning Of the suspension of specie payments.
Neighbour Nat looked very funny over the way, and
Harry was as pleased as Punch Have you seen the
Don? have you seen the Don? was heard on all sides.
Mr. Muley looked at his portrait and tried to laugh but
came very near expiring FROM strangalaton; if the
coroner had been called we should have felt duty
TO surrender ourselves the grandju the Don him
self spoke darkly, and looked unutterable things s
pity the customer whom he sold to before the ef
fervescence Of his anger passed off, Now. this was
all in shocking bad tastc-we only showed off the
Don en- buste-what woald he have said to full
length?
When Bouncer & Co. found their names embalmed
in the Herald, they took kindly as an cd maid
would an offer Of marriage and shook their fat sides
with good humored laughter
"Ho! ho!' says Bob.
"Ha! ha" says Bill.
HE! he!' says Ike.
Now tina, the proper way to take good joke;
they perfectly willing that posterty should be
benefited al their expense. We respect them for it
may their shadows never be less, and may Uncle
Sans high contracting agents give them another
good lift; they are COED boys and We dare say they
will mend their ways. As for Don Guzman, we must
honestly confess gave our benevolent soul shock,
TO witness his contortions-we sorry we ever put
his name in print; we had no idea he SO seRsi-
tive bat if men are 50 violently chafed at finding
themselves annoyed at the bar OF public opinion how
do they expect feel when the blast of the last rum-
pet shall summon them into the presence of the Re-
decmer Of the wsrld, surrounded by mvrads OF an
gels and just men made perfect-when he will Judge
the actions of men, not ny their legality but by the
motives which engcndered them. As we oursef be-
liete with job that "though worms devour this boz
dy," &c. we woald not have i; put on record-abeve
that we had injured the feelings of even obber;
therefore desire TO make the amende honorable, by
declaring the world that our intimacy with the Don
enables US to say, that he is kind father, good
neghbor, q tip top high ehurchmar, and first rate
whig having discharged a man from his employ be-
cause he named a couple of chubby boys Andrew
Jackson and Martin Van Buren,, which his good wo-
man presented him with one winters morning As
merchant or man we have never heard his integ-
nty called into questions let that suffice. As for Mr.
Muley we must leave him in the enjoyment Of his
cot, with such appetite as he may have for pleasant
dreams.
Our next sketch will be quite good for sore eyes
as any of Doctor Williams excellent washes. We
bespeak reading from those who may be OFFICIALLY
unfortunate.

IaIsn RIor IN ANTHONY sTREEr.-Thc whole body
Of the LIST district watch was called out on Saturday
night to suppress riot among the inhabitants Of
that part Of Anthony street which particularly dis
tinguished as the residence Of infamous women, me-
groes, swinc wild Irishmen, and other pleasant aAi
mails. Brick bats and paving stones, in which mis-
siles that delightful neighborhood is abundantly
supplied, were the weapons Principally made use Of
on the occasion In the Of the conflict some Of
the paddles got their thick skulls Misunderstanding
them is impossible-and about dozen of the ring
leaders, among whom was Patrick Sullivan, and q
man named Morris, were taken to the watch house.
