The CredH System.-In Barre, Mass,
4 lady with a sweet face and remarkably
tempting pair of lips, entered one of our
shops few days since and after cxamin-
ing some small articles, inquired the price
of nice pair of mits. The shopkeeper
had almost lost himself in gazeing at the
ruby portals through which came the lit
tie musical voice "Miss." said he,
"you may have them for Il kiss" "a
greed" replied the lady, the blush on
her cheek eclipsed by the sparkle in her
eye "agreed, and as see you give cre-
dit here you may charge it on your book
and collect it in the best way you can !"
Smiling enough on the confused clerk to
pay half the debt, she pocke,ed the pur-
chase, and tripped gaily on.

New Work City Election.

The election in New York City, on the i2.h
inst. for mayor, aldermen, &c. resulted in the
choice of Ronr. II. MoRnGs to the mayoraty, by
a majority of Las votes and Of democrats and
wings in each branch of the common council,
one ward (the 6th) having made no returns cx-
cept for mayor.
The democrats have decided popular majo'itcs
in l3 of the II wards and their not having carried
a proportion.bly large majority of the aldermen,
&c, is entirely owing to the divisions among
themselves in several wards
From all accounts the late appears to have been
about as bosterous an election ever has been
held in the city. There were riots in the 9Th
10Th, i4th and 10Th wards, and '.blood C.was
from the nosc) flowed in great Proluson. We
hear of no lives having been lost. In the 9Th
ward, while the inspectors were canya,sing the
charter tickets in the iront room Of Dunn Hotel
and for that purpose had assorted them Oh table
the mob commenced an attack upon the house
The windows were broken in with stones an,
brickbats, and the inspectors were obliged to lie,
the house for their lives, leaving the tickets loos,
upon the table. They returned after an abscnc,
OF some 80 minutes and found the ballots scatter
ed in all directions. In consequence Of this, the
inspectors unanimously decided to make no re
turns of the votes for alderman and assistant, an,
the election will therefore be vitacd.

BY MRS. sIGoURNEY.
There sprang tree of deadly name:
It's poisonous breath, its baleiul dews,
Scorch'd the green ear ,h like lava flame,
And every plant of mercy slew
From cline to cline its branches spread
q'heir fearful fruits OF sin and woe;
The prince Of darkness low d lis shade,
And to'd ;s fiery seed TO sow.
Faith pour'd her prayer at midnight hour;
The hani of zeal at MONDAY wrought;
The armor Of celestial power
The children of the cross besought
Behold the axe its nride doth wound;
Through its cleft boughs the sun beams shine;
lis blasted blossoms strew the ground;
Give glory to the arm Divine.
And still Jehovah's aid lmplore,
From lie to isle, from sea TO sea,
From peopled earths remoiest shore,
To root the deadly Upas tree.
