"Stand out of my way ~ said rough
surrey voice under my window one day,
as | sat musing over the busting scenes
below me, at my lodgings in Chestnut
street.
"Your honor will please TO recollect,"
replied sharp and somewhat indignant
voice-"Your honor will please to recol-
lect that | am bcggar, and have as much
right to the road as YOURSELF"
"And | am banker" was rctorted
still more grufily and angrily.
Amused at this strange dialogue, |
leaned over the easement, and behed
couple of citizens standing in attitudes
somewhat betokening a disposition to hos
tllty, their countenances menacing, and
their persons presenting a contrast at once
ludcrOus and instructive. The one was
a purse proud, IordIy hammered man, APP
parelled in silk, and exhibiting a carcass
Of pretty nearly the circumference OF
hogshead; and the other a ragged and
dirty, but equally overbearing and selt-lm
portant parsonage. And from COMPARE
son of their appearances, it would have
puzzled the most profound Nj. d. to de-
iermine which of their rotundIties was
best stored, habitualIy, with good victuals
and drink.
Upon close observation, however, of
the banker, | discovered, almost as soon
as my eye fell upon it, line hesPeaking
something of humor and awakened curl
osity, as he stood fixed and eyed his an
tagonist; and this became more clear and
conspicuous, when he lowered his tone
and asked
"How will you make the right you
speak of so confidently appear!'
How" replied the beggar, "why lis
ten a moment and I'll learn you. In the
first place, do you take notice that God
has given me soul and body just as good
for all the purposes of thinking, eating,
drinking, and taking my pleasure as he
has you-and then you may remember
Dives and Lazarus as we pass. Then
again, it is free country, and here, too,
we are on an equality; for you must
know that here even a bcggar's dog may
look a gentleman in the face with as much
indifference as he would brother. You
and | have the same common master arc
equally free; live equally easy; are both
travelling the same journey, bound to the
same place, and both have to die and be
: buried in the end
"But," observed the banker, interrupt
ing him, edo you pretend there is no diff
ference then between beggar and ban
kerr"
"Not in the least" rejoined the othe,
I with the utmost readiness, "not in tn,
least as to essentials. You swagger ant

Be and continue poor, young man.
while others around you grow rich by
fraud and dishonesty; be without place

others cringe and crawl.-Wrap yourself

lar occasion are as follows:
- There's murder in the land,
And Justice must o'ertake it.
My hearers-There is something fear
full and heart-appalling in the very sound
of the word, Murder. 1t causes the soul
to shrink in terror clear back into the
dorsal regions of the human structure,
and makes man almost afraid of himself,
lest the seeds of destructivencss are al
ready lying in embryo in his own bosom,
ready to sprout beneath that manure OF
innate iniquity which he inherits through
the transgressions Of his prime-cuH ances.
tors. That murder should ever Turk in
the contemplation of human being pos.
sessed of reason and heart not made OF
horse-shoes-who knows that the lives
of his fellow creatures cost just as mucl
as his, and are as dear to them as hi:
own is to himself-is as.onishingly as
tonishing. But, my friends, there arr

ON CROSSING THE ALLEGIENIEs.

ny MRS. LAURA 4. TnUnsrON.
The broad, the bright, the glorious West,
Is spread before me now!
Where the gray mists Of morning rest
Beneath yon mountains brow!
The bound is past-the goal is won
The region of the setting sun
Is open to my view.
Land of the valiant and the free
My own Green Mountain land-to thee,
And thine, long adicu!
hail thee, Valley of the West,
For what thou yet shalt be!
hail thee for the hopes that rest
Upon thy destiny!
Here-from the mountain height, | see
Thy bright waves l,ating TO the sea,
Thine emerald fields outsprcad,
And feel that in the book of fame,
Proudly shall thy recorded name
In latter days be read.
Yet while gaze upon thee now,
All glorious as thou art,
a cloud is resting on my brow,
A weight upon my heart,
To mc-in all thy youthful PRIDE
Thou art land of cares untried,
Of untold hopes and fears.
Thou art--yct no; for thee gricvc
But for the lar-olr land leave,
look on thee with tears.
o! brightly, brightly, glow the skies,
In summers sunny hours
The green earth seems paradise
Arraycd in summer flowers!
But on i! there is q land afar
Whose skies to me are brighter far
Along the Atlantic shore!
For eyes beneath their radiant shrine,
In kindlior glances answered mine
Can these their light restored
Upon the lofty bound stand,
That parts the East and West;
Bcfore me--lics fairy land;
Behind--a home ofreSH
Hero, hope her wild cnchantmont filings,
Por,rays all bright and lovely things,
My footsteps to allure
But there, in mcmory's light see
All that was once most dear to me-.
My young hearts exposure!

Sneak, for thou hast voice, perpetual sea.
Lift no thy surges with some signal woru,
Shew where the pilgrims of the waters be,
For whom n nations thrilling heart IS stirred.
Down thy waves they went in Joyous pride,
They trod with steadfast feet thy bilOwy way,
The eyes of wondering men beheld them glide
Swift in the arrowy distance-wl-rc are they:
Didst thou arise upon that mighty frame,
Mad that the strength of man with thee should strive
And proud thy rival element To tame,
Didst swallow them in conscious depths alive:
or, shorn and powerrss hast thou babe them iie
Their stately ship carcass OF the foain
Where still they watch the ocean and the SKY,
And fonnly dream that they have yet home.
Doth hope sill, soothe their souls, cladncss thrill:
Is peace amid those wanderers OF the foam:
Say, is the old affection yearnin. SUI
with all the blessed memories oi home!
Or is IL over. Life and BREATH and thought
The living feature and the breathing form:
Il the strong man become 4 thing OF nonght,
And the rich blood of rank no longer warm.
Thou answerest not, thou stern and naughty sea-
There is sound in earth, or wave, or air.
Roll on We tears. oh, what can comfort be
To hearts that pant for hope, hut breathe despair;
Nay, mourner, there is sunlight on The deep,
A gentle rainbow The darkllns cloud;
A voice mighty than rhr Hood, will sweep
The shore Of tempest when the storm is iond:
What though they woke The whirlwinds of the west,
Or reused the tempest from hls eastern lair,
Or ciavc the cond with thunder IN it. breast
Lord of the awful waters, Thoa weu there.
Al mercifnl. the fate-thc day-were Thine;
Thou dldst receive them from the sretlng sea;
Thy love deep-Thy mercy too divine,
To quench them IN an hour unworthy ihee
Ii storms Were mighty, Thou in the gale
If their fee, failed them, in thy paths they ,rcd.
Man cannot urge the bark, guide the sail,
Or force the qulverng HELM, away from God.
