Morning herald., 1839-12-20

Yesterday the Courier and Enquirer, the organ of
the "Capalets' here. had long lachrymose arti-
cle attributing their difficulties in London to
the intrigues or conspiracy Of the Montagues. 1t
was an amusing affair, which we shall unyeil in a
few days, and show both sides Of the game. We
believe we are impartal-for it is our solemn convic-
ton that il both the Montagues and the Capulets
were put into bag-shake that bag well, the Arst
that would come out would not be bit better than
those that remained. Wen show them both up in
connection with the foreign exchanges.

From a late London Papcr.

Curious Custom AT HARLEM.--In walk
ing through the streets at Harlem, we saw
rather curious memorial Of disa strous times.
AT the sides of the doors Of the various houses,
hangs small, neatly framed board on which
was spread piece Of fine lace-work, of an
oval form, resembling the top Of a lady's cap,
with border The OBJECT indeed on casual
inspection might have been taken for lady's
cap hung out to dry. Beneath it, to show the
transparency ofthe lace, there is placed piece
of pink paper or silk. On asking the meaning
Of these exhibitions, was informed that they
originated in a circumstance which occurred
at the siege Of Harlem. Before surrendering
the town, deputation of aged matrons waited
on the Spanish general to know in what man
ner the women who were at that time in child
birth should be protected from moestation, in
case Of the introduction Of the soldiery and
he requested, that at the door Of each house,
containing female so situated, an appro-
pirate token should be hung out, and promised
that that house should not be troubled. This
according to the tradition, was attended to;
and, till the present day, every house in which
there il female in this condition is distin-
guished in the manner have mentioned. The
lace is hung out several weeks previous to
the expected birth, and hangs several weeks
afterwards, small alteration being made as
soon as the sex Of the child at birth, is known.
was further assured that during the time
which is allowed for these exhibitions, the
house is exempt from all legal executions, and
that the husband cannot be taken to serve as
a soldier. | asked our conductor, who be-
longed to the town, if these pieces Of lace
work were stolen or injured by evil disposed
boys. wish could convey to the reader an
idea of the surprise which the mans face man
Tested, on hearing such question. The
possibility Of the commission Of such an afro
city had evidently never before entered his
mind He declared that he never heard of
such thing, and that he beliyed that if a boy
were 10 steal or injure them, the inhabitants
would view the crime with the deepest detes-
tation, and inHict the severest punishment on
the delinquent. This present as trait Of
manners. Such articles could not be safely
trusted at the doors Of houses in any town in
Britain. where even bell.handles and knock
ers are with difficulty preserved.

A lady at Eyam, having on Monday last had
pig killed, wished to treat the butcher and
assistants with cup of extra strong tea
and with this view she sent to the shop for an
ounce Of gunpowder. II was dusk when the
tea was made and poured out, and many wry
faces were made on tasting il. The butcher,
who il seems was the most thirsty OF the party,
however, swallowed his cupful, and immedi-
ately thought himself poisoned. A light was
at length procured, and il was then discovered
that the supposed tea was in reality an ,niu-
sion Of coarse blasting gunpowder! he

FOR THE MADiSoNiAA.
BEWARE OF DECEIT.
ADDRESSED TO YoUso LADY.
Let no false friend be thine,
Whatever else he be;
II he TO false deceit incline,
Will he be true TO thee7
Examine well the motive then,
And turn aside false-hearted men.
Their words would but deceive,
And take the unwary In,
Asdid that willy serpent, Eve,
As did the creature, sin
u Eve we're vanquished by the foe,
How much exposed are all below
The few, small sins Of old
Have but increased with years,
While ages have on ages rolled,
To1drench the world in tears.
And basesi passions screened from sight,
faint and obscure the world Of light.
i When cast on fortunes reel
The humble suppliant lies,
An hundred blanks are In the wheel,
To one that wins prize.
IT'S not all gold that brightly shines,
Nor silver from the richest mines.
Pure gold is rich and rare,
Nor easy to obtain,
But dross abundant every where,
And worthless though we gain.
Pure gold Is virtue well refined, "
But dross the vice of human kind.
Then, take that man to thee
Whose virtues brightly shine,
Pure as thine own, his life should be,
Then peace and joy be thine.
In him, iftruth and virtue shine,
Take thou his hand, and give him thine.
