RHODE ISLAND.

As the people of this State are now on the
eve of relinquishing. forever. the venerable
Charter under which they have. for the peri
cd of One Hundred and Eighty years, en-
loved a state of almost unlimited civil and
religious liberty, it may not be uninieres-
ting TO recur 10 the time when that Insiru-
ment w9s obtained through the unwnaried
exertIons of our agent, DR.. John Clarke, and
the powerful influence of The Earl of Clar
endon. Considering the state o. public o.
piuon in England in 1868. when the Char
Ter was obtained, which was only three
years after the restoration of Charles Sec
onI, and at n period when the old PuTliani-
cal or Republican party, the natural protec-
tor of this Colony, had been crushed 10 the
dus', it is at this day subject of astonish-
ment that a scheme OF government SO dem
ocraiic in lis features, and which, even in
this more enlightened age, has found no su-
perior in producing the great practical re-
suit Of n perfect civil and religious freedom,
should have obtained a successful advocate
in the councils OF an absolute Monarch.
1t seems 20 have been the peculiar good
fortune Of Rhode Island, under all the chan
ges and vicissitudes of politics in England,
TO have conciliaied her eminent men of all
pariies-in the time of thu Commonwealth,
to have been palronized by Sir Henry
Vane, the Eah of Warwick, and the pro-
tector Oliver Cromwell; and when the King
was restored, after his long exile, 10 receive
the Great Charter of her liberties from the
hands of the gifted and virtuous CLARENDON,

FOOD OFTHE CHINESE.

Monyen's Voyage round the World, fur
nishes the following paragraph &c The
Chinese eat almost everything that comes
to hand. Upon the streets ut the city but
particularly on the large square before the
factories, number of birds are daily expos
ed for sale, which, amongst us, have not YET
gained much repure for favor among 9th
ers, hawks, owls. eagles and storks. To X
European, nothing can have more laugh
able effect, than to see the Chinese arrive
with a carrying-pole, supporting two bird
cages, which contains dogs and cats, in tead
of birds. A small, thin sort of n spaniel,
appeared to US to he most in request they
sit quite downcast in their temporary dwell
ings when they are brought to market, whilst
the cats make dreadful squaline, rs if coa-
scious oftheir fate The flesh of these last
when they are well fed, is much esteemed
in China, and they are often seen ON the TIA
bles of the rich Other Chinese bring upon
their carrying-pole many dozen ofrats. which
are drawn quite clean and. like pigs in our
country, when they have been opened, are
hung up by means of a cross piece of wool
through the hind legs. These rows Of rats
look very nice, but they are only eaten by
the poor"

"Vincent !" said Beresford to his friend,
one evening. after walking up and down
the room several times, adjusting his collar
and brushing up his whiskers, like man
that is getting ready to say something.

"Well, then, Vincent, am determined
to marry this lovely little hostess of ours"
''Not old Mrs. Parsons, presume" said
Vincent, laughing. ''there would be little

Beresford grew angry, but as Vincent
still continued to laugh, was at last obligec

POETRY.
HAVE A MORE CONVENIENT SEASON I
WILL CALL FOR Thee"

Alone he sat and wept-that very night
The ambassador of God, with earnest zeal
Of eloquence, had warn'd him TO repent;
And like the Roman at Drusilla's side,
Hearing the truth he trembled: Conscience wrourh,
Yet sin allured. The struggle shook him sore
The dim lamp wan'd-the hour of midnight TOLD
sought for entrance but the heart had closed
Its diamond valve: he threw him on his couch
And bade the Sp irit of God depart.
But there was wal within him; and he sighed,
depart not utterly, thou blessed One
Return when youth is past, and make my soul
Forever thine"
With kindling brow he trod
The haunts of pleasure-while the viol's voice
And beauty's smile his joyous pulses woke.
To love he knelt; and on his brow she hung
Her freshest myrtle wreath. For gold he sought;
And wing'd wealth indu lg'd him-tin the world
Pronounced him happy. Manhood's vigorous prime
SwelId to its climax. and his busy days
And restless nights swept like tide away.
Care struck deep root around him, and ach shoot
Still striking earthward, like the Indian tree.
Shut out with woven shades the eye Of Heaven.
When To- message from the Crucifed,
'Look unto me and live" Pausing he spake
OF WEAKNESS, and haste, and want of time,
And duty to his children; and besou ght
longer space 10 do the work of Hesvenl
God spake again-when ago bad shed its SHOWS
On his wan temples-und the palsied hand
Shrank from his gold gathering; but the rigid chain
Of habit bound him, and he still implored
A more convenient season.
See, my step is firm,
And free-my unquenchd eye delights
To view this pleasant world-and life with me
May last for many years7 In the calm hour
OF lingering sickness, l can better fit
For vast eternity!
Disease approached
And reason 1ed-The maniac S trove with death
And grappled like iend with shrieks and cries,
Till darkness smote his eye-balls, and a thick ice
Closed in around his heart-strings. The poor clay
Lay vanquished and distorted-but the Soul
The SoUL-whose promised season never came
To hcarken to his Makers call--had gone
To weigh his sufferancc with his own abuse.

Edward Everett, our present Minister to
England, delivered an Grafton before the
Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, at
their annual celebration a few years ago,
and after the public exercises were over, the
Society had a dinner, as Is usual on such
occasions Judge Story, who presides at
the tables, is said to have proposed the fol.
lowing sentiment, after the cloth was reno.
we'd, in compliment to the orator,

This directed the attention of the whole
company to Mr.. Everett, who Immediately
arose and made the following very happy

20 Gen. Sol. VAN. RENSSELAER,, late
Postmaster at Albany. appears by card IN
the Albany DAILY in answer to the lmputa-
tons cast on his official couduct in the Au
rOra. He adds that he was present Mt n con
versatiOn, in May, $780, between john Ty~
Ter and Silas +. Burrows, in which the latter
spoke of a letter he once received from Pres
Ident Monroe maintaining the constitutions
atty ola National Bank, which Mr.. Tyler
desired to see. end Mr.. Burrows handed it
to him. A conversation ensued on the pro-
priety of creating such n Bank, which Gen
y. X. will publish in due time. He closes
with the following interesting "reminiscences:
L" At the Harrisburgh Convention OF De-
cember, 1889, on the morning after Gen
Harrison had been nominated for President,
the New Y FORK delegation, of which was II
member, were assembled by themselves and
were considering the question of II candidate
for Tice President, when Joined them. As
entered the room, one of them observed
that they were waiting for me that as the
Convention had united so tremendously OIL
my nomination for President, they wished
me to nominate Hice President also.
replied that did not wish tn name can
didate, but that | should join them in any
one they would he pleased TO present. This
my colleagues declined, and again urged me
to offer n nomination. / tnPn Sal0 tndt III
such was their wish, would name several
individuals from whom they could make
their choice and accordingly presented the
names of John Tyler, Governor Owen of
North Carolina, and John Bell of Tennessee
They still declined making the selection, amt
wished me 10 designate the candidate.
then named John Tyler, aud he was unani
mously accepted. He was on the ground
and knew what course | bad taken Had
designated either of the other two gentlemen
named. he would have been accepted with
equal readiness and unanimity.
May God and my countrymen pardon my
grevious error in this matter, which shall
never cease to deplore. But did il for the
best had served in Congress with him, III
years gone by, and then deemed him an
honorable man and as Virginia was nearly
balanced, hoped the nomination ofmy amt
able friend might incline the scale III our flu
vor.
Such is brief statement of the manner M
which John Tyler obtained his nomination
How previously he has deceived and disap-
pointed expectation, the whole country can
testify. But retribution is drawing nigh, aud
the tokens cannot be mistaken lower fall
awaits him than has oyertaken any public
man who has ever betrayed the misplaced
confidence of the country.
