SOLOMON OUrDoNE,-A lady living in Han
oyer-sreet, Baltimore, lost by robbery, few
days since, box of valuable jewelry. Ayoung
man in the enploy of the gentleman of the
house, determined on an experiment which
would probably clear up some slight suspicion
already entertained against three colored boys,
who had occasional access to the house. He
procured bucket, turned it bottom upwards,
and carefully covered the bottom also with Il
thick coat of blacking-placing inside large
rooster The three boys were then called into
the room and charged with stealing the jewelry.
1t was then proposed that each should lay his
hand in turn on the bottom of the bucket, and
the guilt should be fixed on that one whose hand
was on the bucket when the rooster crowed.
Two of the lads laid their hands on the bucket;
the third one refused, fearing that the rooster
would actually betray his guilt The onewas then
charged with the theft; he confessed it, and
pointed to the place where box of jewelry was
concealed.

TOFFICIAL.l
By the President ttAe Q. States Of America
A Proclamation!

WHEREAS it has come TO the knowledge OF
the Government of the United States that sun
dry secret Lodges, Clubs or Associations exist
on The Northern Frontior; that the members of
these Lodges are bound together by secret
oahs; that they have collected firearms and
other military materials, and secreted them in
sundry Places and that it is their purpose to Vi
olate the laws of their country, by making mil
itary and lawless mcurslons, when opportunity
shall offer, into the Territory of Power with
which the United States are at peace; and
whereas it is known that travelling agitators,
! from both sides the line, visit these Lodges and
harangue the members In secret meeting, slim
ulating them 10 illegal acts; and whereas the
same persons are known TO levy contributions
on the ignorant and credulous for their own
benefit thus supporting and enriching them
selves by the basest means; and whereas the
unlawful intentions of the members of these
have already been manifested in an attempt TO
destroy the lives and property Of the inhabitants
of Chippewa, in Canada, and the public proper
ty of the British Government there belonging:
Now, therefore, l, JOHN TYLER, President of
the United States, do issue this my Proclama-
ton, admonishing all such evi-minded persons
Of the condign punishment which is certain to
the United States will be vigorously executed
against their illegal acts; and that if in any law
less incursion into Canada they fall into the
hands, of the British authorities, they will not
be reclaimed as American citizens, ncr any in
reference made by this Government in their
behalf
And I exhort all well-meaning but deluded
persons. who may have joined these Lodges,
Immediately TO abandon them, and to have no
thing more 10 do with their secret meetings or
unlawful oaths, as they would avoid serious
consequences 10 themselves. And expect The
intelligent and well-disposed members of the
community to frown on all these unlawful COM
bnations and illegal proceeding, and TO assist
the Government in maintaining the peace the
country, against the mischievous consequences
of the acts Of these violators of tho law.
Given under my hand, at the city Of Wash
ington, the twenty y-ffth day Of September, A.
/ D. l84l, and of the independence Of The Uni
ted States the sixty-sixth.

POETRY.
Night.
BIZ JAMES MONTGOMERY

BIZ JAMES MONTGOMERY
Night is the time to rest;
How sweet, when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repose;
Stretch out the tired limbs, and lay the head
Upon our own delightful bed!
.
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance of life,
When truth that is and truth that seems
Blend in fantastic strife;
All! visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are!
Night is the time to toll;
To plough the classic field,
Intent to find the buried spoil
Its wealthy furrows yield;
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That poets sung, or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory, where sleep
The Joys of other years,
Hopes that were angels in their birth,
But perish young, like things on earth!
Night is the time to watch;
On oceans dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance
That brings unto the home sick mind
All we have loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on hours misspent,
To see the spectre of despair
Come to our lonely tent
Like Brutus, midst his slumb'ring host,
Startled by Caesars stalwart ghost.
Night is the time to muse;
Then from the eye the soul
Takes flight, and with expanding views
Beyond the starry pole,
Descries athwart the abyss of night
The dawn of uncreated light.
Night is the time TO pray;
Our Saviour oft withdrew,
To desert mountains far away,
So will his followers do;
Steal from the throng TO haunts untrod,
And hold communion there with God.
Night is the time for death;
When all around is peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath,
From sin and suffering cease;
Think of heavens bliss, and give the sign
To parting friends-such death be mine!
