GENrLEMEN:--You our kind letter of invi-
tation to visit the old and patriotic county
of Howard, and to accept public dinner
from my political friends, has met me at this
place, and is the more agreeable to me as
coming from old and valued friends and
ng'approved and steadfast friends of de-
mocracy. The dinner is declined in con-
formity to my long established rule; but
the visit to the county intended to make
without invitation, and to remain in it long
enough to have an opportunity of seeing
at their own convenience and without the
formality of public meeting such of my
fellow citizens as should do me the honor
to exchange salutations with me.

THE DYING BOY.


Ay, mother, weep! this hour that boy will die
Your lov'd, your beautiful, and only one!
The wing of death is DER him-every sigh
Comes struggling fainter from his lip Of stone;
A closing weight rests on his azure eye,
Like evenings folding touch On some blue flower;
Gaze there--while yet to think it may reply,
And thou may'st thrill beneath its lovelit power,
Thou wilt not deem it So though day by day
Thou'st seen, with all thy woman.tendeT ness,
The smile upon his face more family play,
His look betray more pleading languidness,
And seen decay, with desecrRting stealth
His vermeil-cheek despOiling Of its bloom
His floating ringets of their lustrous wealth
And fnging there the shadow of the tomb!
All tits no fantasy! the stricken thing
That like dying bird lies quvering there,
Was late thy brigh:-ey'd boy, whose spirits wing
So much of radiance own'd and freedom rare
Ay part of thy young self. Delight 50 grew,
That JOY became trembler in thy breast;
And his strange loveliness so rich a hue
Lent round, earth scemd in Eden-newncss
dress'd!
W Lhe ueef sSlSe u EtISst eCsthCy
'Twere vain to tell, that in thy heart had birth,
When he-a rosy creature--gracefu, free,
Play'd at thy side and revell'd in his mirth;
Or, when mid starry silence thou didst wake
To watch while pillow d on thine arm he lay,
And the lone vigil kept for his dear sake,
And heard his low and dove-ike breath;ngs play!
Wo! for thee, mother, wo the wildeTing bliss
Such moments gave thee thine can be no more;
Like bright dream twill fade--yetO, thou'lt miss
It's spell so ravishing thy Oosoms core;
Years may roll on and thou may'St linger here,
When every rose.leaf of the heart is shed,
Yet wilt thou mourn, with many burning tear,
The early lost--the beauuful--the dead
Yet cheer thee in this hour! HIS dweiling-pIace
VIII be in bowers where Sabbath stiffness reigns;
Where, on the flower, dark change ne'er leaves a
trace,
Nor on the JOY rude passion serpent-sta'ns'
He is too inely-wrOught TO languish where
The rainbow arches but to melt away;
And every lovely sound and vision fair
Swells but the drge--the trophies of decay

The following story is told of Yankee

The following story rs told OF Yankee
captain and his mate:
Whenever there was a plum pudding
made, by the captains orders, all the plums
were put into one end of it, and that end
put next to the captain, who, after helping
himself, passed il to the mate, who never
found any plums in his part of it, Well,
after this game had been played for some
time, the mate prevailed on the steward 10
place the end which had no pums in il next
to the captain. The captain no sooner saw
the pudding, than he discovered he had
the wrong end of it. Picking up the dish
and turning il in his hands as if merely ex-
aiming the china, he said, "lhis dish cost
me two shillings in Liverpool" and put it
down again as though without design, with
the plum end next to himself is il posi-
ble,' said the mate, taking up the dish, Il
should not suppose il worth more than one
shilling and, as in perfect innocence. he
put the dish with the plum end next to
himself. The captain looked at the mate,
and the mate looked at the captain; the
captain laughed. 4 tell you what, young
one said the captain, you've found me out;
so well just cut the pudding lengihwise
this time, and have the plans fairly dislri.

INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM MR.. CLAY.

In the Chambersburg Wing of the 24th
ult., we find letter eloquent and strong.
from the "Chambersburg Clay Club" to
the Hon. HENRY CLAY, with his letter in
reply. The Committee introduce with the
following passage graphic sketch Of the
progress of misrule in the country for a
long period past:
why is it, Sir, that with a Constitution
of Government SO admirably adapted to
human welfare-with resources SO multi.
Piled and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS so vigor.
ous-means of intercourse so rapid and
commodious, and literature so cheap and
abundant, we are not now, as formerly, a
prosperous and happy nation, proud of our
retrospect, and exulting in the promise of
the future! Why is it that ali the grea,
branches of our national industry are in
state of prostration or ruin? Our soil and
climate have undergone no change for the
worse; our machinery for abridging labor
and Pertectlng its product has not deterioa.
ted; our active population has lost nothing
In point of energy and skill. Whence is il
then that our prosperity has been thrown
into obeyance; that the capitalist finds no
outlet for his means, and the laborer re-
mains without employment"
The lenghth ofthe Committees letter for
bids its insertion entire. 1t is written with
great force and spirit. Mr.. CLAY replies
