FROM HARRISBURG,

Two members Of the Wing branch oil
the House Of Representatives some time
since passed over to the Van Buren, branch,
giving it the majority. The Senate still for
some time refused to recognize either
branch. The latest accounts, however
state that they had recognized the Vaa Blu.
rem Branch by.a vote of IL to l6. This,
we trust, will terminate the difficulty.

AOASAShs ODE lie
TO MACENAs .s
Prop Of the poets and his grace,
Maccnas, Of a noble race
Ofkingly grandsires come,
In the Olympic races, some
In curricles the dust delight
To gather in their rapid flight,
And, past tho goal with feryid wheels,
Receive the prize mid plauding peals.
Some for the peoples favor strive,
And court the honors they may give.
Some love to plant their sterile fields,
With the rich fruits warm Lydia yields,
Rojoiced paternal grounds to hoe,
If Wealth of Atalus you show,
All will not tempt them to divide
With Cyprian keel Myrtous' tide.
The grasping merchant, fenring well
The wild Icarian floods that swell,
His tempest shaken ship reGts,
To shun the want unthrift begets.
Some are, who love to drench their souls
In the sweet draught from Massic bowls
And. labor oft RENTED, ease
Their lazy limbs beneath the trees,
Their senses in the banquet steep
And yield them up to gentle sleep.
Many delight in camps to hear
The sound of horse and foot and spear.
Dwclls in the cold and midnight air
The hunter, thoughtless Of the care
His tender spouse may feel for him:
Anxious alone the stag's feet limb
May bear him from the painting hounds
Or the boar break his twisted bounds.
My wish, my only object lies
In this, to take the poets prize;
The ivy crown that binds the head
On which the Nine their spirit shed.
May the fresh grove and dancing choirs
Of Nymphs and satyrs, all that fires
A Poets genius, join to raise
Above the shouts of vulgar praise.
If kind Euterpe lend her pipe,
And Polyhymnia the ripe
And sweet and mellow Lesbian Tyre,
What if than lyric bards no higher,
Raised from the earth my head shall grac
Among the stars the Hottest place.

Not long since, the committee Of
a certain New England city, discov-
cred that one Of the masters they
employed, spent as many hours, each
day, in making candle-boxes, as he
spent in school Or, as he might pos
slbly have stated the case, he worked
six hours day on his own wood, and
six hours, on theirs. This being dis
covered, the committee summoned
the master before them for solemn
admoni.ion. After being arraigned,
and hearing his Indictment, and being
expected to plead guilty and promise
amendment, he replied to the follow
ing effect. sGentlemen, It is an old
saying, that like begets like. The
smalIness of your hearts begets the
srnallness ofmy salary,and theleanness
of your souls begets the leanness Of
my bones. If | spent all my time in
attempting to fill the knowledge-boxes
of your children, without making can
dle-boxes for myself, my soul would
not have the means Of keeping its
