Timc. We try to deceive ourselves as
to the shortness of time, and so we divide
and measure it IN large portions, years and
centuries. The succession Of minutes seem
like the swift following of waves in a brook,
and a year or an age is like vast sea, the
motion of which escapes our notice. In
large cities we tend to forget the shortness
of life in its multiplicity, for every man
seems to protect his nelshbor, just as in an
army, we think only Of those who survive,
no, of those who have fallen.

II is said that Mr. Van Buren, has writ
ten letter to friend in New York, which
contains passage very like the following /:
NEVERTHELESS, ACCORDING
TO PRESENT APPEARANCES, IT
WOULD BE WELL TO ADVISE OUR
FRIENDS MOTTO BE TOO LIBER-
AL WITH THEIR MONEY IN THE
APPROACHING CONTEST"
We copy the above from the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. Mr. Van Buren's concep-
tons have become clearer, and his conclu-
sions more correct. Had he written this
letter two months ago. he would have pre-
vented his friends from making desperate
bets to the tune ofsome hundreds of thou
sands. Some persons--members of Con-
gress and others who had bet largely lust
before the session on Mr. Van Buren's re-
election. have recently made evertures to
obtain a REIMBURSEMENT of the bets, even
at heavy sacrifice. So that Mr.. Van
Buren, and his friends are giving it up!

is lying very stupidity and wickedly. In
such "a case let him pass in silent contempt.
But if he is man of any sense or self re-
spect, just point the finger of scorn at him
and ask him if he is not ashamed of being
caught in the act of retailing such dirty
and dastardly libels against majority Of
his countrymen. Ask him how much he
thinks the British paid Old Tip for has SER
rice at Maumee, Fort Meigs, and the
Thames. Ask him how much they would
have given rather than have had Martin
Van Buren, then appointed General in his
stead. Ask him how much they paid
Martin Van Buren, for his very efficient and
patriotic support of the War Administra-
ton AFTER Mr. Madison had been re-elec-
ted, though he had supported De Witt
Clinton with all his might up to that time.
Ask him if he does not admire Mr. Van
Buren's remarkably patriotic instructions
to Louis MIR Lane about the West India
Trade, and how much he thinks the British
ought to give to get such Statesman out
Of the Presidential Chair. Finally. ask
him how many such falsehoods he thinks
it will take to bully the People out of their
determination to have change of Rulers,
and leave him to the shame he cannot re-
sist, and the contempt he SO richly merits.

Too GOOD to be lost,

The following incident is related to us to
have taken place in one of the morgan
lied plantations near the head Of the Ken
nebec river. The voters in the township
being about equally divided and as they had
to travel about twenty miles to vote in the
nearest town, an agreement was made be-
tween the Wings and Locos, that they
shoad pair off and stay at home. On the
Sunday before election, the Locos concu.
ded to steal march upon the wings, and put
in their own votes. without letting the wings
know that they had gone to meeting
They intended to start early in the morn
ing, before day light, and before any of
the wings were string, But it so happen-
ed that this well laid plan was defeated by
the activity of resolute wing girl. She
had sweetheart who was a Locofoco and
who came to pay her a visit on Sunday
evening according to the good old fashion
of New Engand-apd as he was about
taking his leave earlier than usual, the
girl insisted upon knowing the reason.
which he unwittingly disclosed. No soon
err was he gone, than this true hearted girl
went to her neighbors, told the wings what
was going on, and before sunrise, had them
all on the way to town meeting, where they
arrived short time after the Locos, who
were much chagrined at being caught in
this dirty trick, and wholly at a loss, to
understand how their secret bad been dis

A ParOdy""0n Up Salt River p

TusE-".dH on Hobbies
Come Locos and Vans, and Leg-treasurers too,
Fanny Wright men and all, we waiting on
you,
Our vessel is ready, we cannot delay,
For HARRISON'S coming, and we must away,
Up salt river,
Up salt river,
Up salt river, salt river, hi O.
The journey is rough, but never mind that,
An experienced steersman is polite Mat,
Full many dark passage he's threaded before,
And will land US all safe that widespread
ing shore,
Away up salt river, &c.
The first one that sailed was the Empire ship,
Her rigging she manned and her cable let slip,
Cambreleng was there, with a thousand or so,
Who all eat "small potatoes" with Marcy &
Co.
Up salt river, &c.
The ship Michigan is also ahead,
She took the same track where the Empire led,
She took for her cargo full many a score,
OF wild-catting bankers to land on the shore.
Up salt river, NC.
The good ship Connecticut steady and true,
As if winged like bird, DER the wild waters
flew,
wen loaded Win vans VINO ndu ldlQ IN 4 store
Of large Wethersfield onions to plant on that
shore
Away up salt river, &c.
The old Pennsylvania, provisioned and manned,
Quite ready for sailing will soon learn the land,
Of change and experiments, now very sick
She will carry the Vans where they tried to
row Nick.
Up salt river, &c.
Next the old Massachusetts,, her crew far from
raw,
No longer made drunk by her fifteen gallon
With her cargo of Vans, that late colonized
Up salt river, &c.
The New Jersey next will be loudly cheered on,
By Maxwell, Aycrigg, Halstead, York and
Stratton,
Whilst Dickerson, Cooper, Ryall, and two more,
Will take without contest their seats that
shore.
Away up salt river, &c.
Missouri now rugged, will next hoist her sail,
At the port which she starts for she proudly will
call,
Leaving Tumble Bug Benton rolling his BALI
On the shore of salt river, &c.
The noble Ohio is ready likewise,
The pride and the glory Of all the Buckeyes,
She's freighted with Locos, the Shannons and
more,
And quasi Medary. to land on the shore.
Away up salt river, &C.
And as we sail on we'll be still looking back,
For the ships we expect on the very same
track
For Virginia, Kentucky, and some half dozen or
more,
Are bound for the port on that fast filling Shore
Away up salt river, &c.
When they're all under way, we will knock off a
toast
To OLD TIPPEcANoE, our pride and our boast !;
He'll be President next; for changes then look,
AS sour circuit is transported to old Undertook.

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The London Morning Herald says the
general apprehension of war between
France and Great Britain, slowly but GER
tainly,increases. Day after day brings cir
cums,ances 10 light which seem TO render
a collision more inevitable, and to throw
more difficulty in the way of adjustment
and recoDciliation. 1t has no hesitation
in avowing its opinion that the fault lies in
the very gross mis-mangement of affairs
by the Minister of the Foreign .Depart-
ment, Lord Palmerston.

Touch not a single bough;
In youth it sheltered me
And III protect it now;
Twas my forefather's hand
That placed it near his cot,
Then wood-ma let 1t stand,
Thy axe shall harm it not
That old familiar tree,
Whose glory and renown
Are spread DER land and sea,
And wouldst thou hack it DOWN.
Wood man forbear thy stroke!
Cut not its earth bound ties
Oh spare that aged oak,
Now towering to the skies
When but an idle boy
sought its grateful shade;
In all their gushing joy
Here, too my sisters played.
NV mother kiss d me here;
My father press'd my hand
Forgive this foolish tear,
But let that old oak stand
My heart-strings round thee cling,
Close as thy bark, old friend
Here shall the wild-bird sing,
And still thy branches bend.
Old tree the storm still brace!
And woodman leave the spot,
While I've hand to save,
Thy axe shall harm it not.
