A WORD IN SEASON.

An elderly gentleman, with a straight
coat and broa rimmed beaver, passing a.
long Main street, a few days since, step
ped upon some peach parings, which a
young dandy at one of our dry good stores
had Just thrown down near where he was
Standing. The passenger was off his
guard, but contrived TO escape a fall hv ex-
changing it for a severe wrench of the
lower limbs. He said nothing to the au-
thor Of his mschancts, but stepping into
the store, accosted is owner, Friend, can
thee lend me a broomr
The broom was promptly rendered, and
the Quaker applied i. 10 the bearings with
some diligence, as well as difficulty from
their adherence to the pavement in their
mashed state, greatly to the amusement of
the bystauders, and the annoyance of the
clerk. Under these circumstances, the
following dialogue took place,
Clerk, What is that for!
Quaker.-T- get these pearings into the
gutter.
C-Let them alone--they do you no
harm.
Q.-That's mistake, friend, have hurt
myself in going down street, and I may
again on my return. Besides, somebody
else NAV get fall over them.
C.-That would be none Of your busi-
ness.
Q--That is another mistake of thine,
fieni. Some neighhor of mine may be
badly hurt, and may have TO contribute to
hjsreIief peghHDs to his support. 1t is both
my busine-sand thine.
C.-You may make it your business if
you choose, but it's none Of mine.
Q.-I am not sure OF that, if people get
hurt often before thy door, it will get an i'll
name, and thy employer will lose custom,
and thee perhlps thy place. Thee should
corslei better Of things.
This raised general laugh on the clerk
who withdrew-and when the old Friend
returned the broom into it's place and went
on his way, he probably left a wholesome
lesion behind him Gil. .4dv.

est Neither Mr.. Clay nor Mr., Polk,
whicheveris elected, has the power 10 do
this at his own option. They must be
governed by the party 20 which they be-
long. "SAall the appointments in Connee-
licut, for instance, be made under the
counsel and advice Of such men as Chief
Justice Williams, or Gideon Welles!" This
is the practical question throughout the
country. THIS question becomes one Of
pIe-eminent importance, when we look at
our Courts of Justice, and especially the
supreme Court of the United States. This
tribunal is the great huIwark Of the Consti-
tuition. For nearly fifty years, this court
has been establishing a great system OF
principles and precedents, which are the
stability Of our political fabric. The ques-
ton s-"ShaIl the decision Of that Court
be sustained or set asde!" 1t is well
known that there is class Of lawyers, es-
pecally in the Middle aud Southern States,
| Wao stand forth in utter oppos$on to .de
| principles Of Ellsworth, and Marshall, and
Thompson, which have hitherto prevailed
in that Court Quite a number of such
men have been placed on the Bench with
in the last ten years; and it requires the
addition Of only two or three more Of the
same principles, to give Them the ascen-
denCy, and to upset at once the great
principles Of American Law, as laid down
and established during the progress Of hall
a century. | bring no accusation against
these men, but state that which they
glory inproclaiming, that they gain the as
tendency, fhesy$iem Of f.lmerican Lam mu8l

years. Who shall GIl them! This 0ues.
tiou is far more important, than what par.

ted States. Which set Of principles sha
prevail in that Court! II Mr.. Clay is elect

it is not every set OF principles which
claim to be founded upon genuine liberty
that really are, any more than every party
which arrogates to Itself all the republican,

bat natural that it should be appropriated
by candidates for political favor, and tre-
quently most grevously appropriated by

HTWe commend the following article
to the attention Of every reader, 1t is
from the pen Of a gentleman of this State
distinguished for his learning, and whose
character as citizen and Christian is un-
blemished.-Hanford Courant.
CAN | CONSC[ENTIOUSLY VOTE FOR
MR.. CLAY!
Six months ago had serious doubts on
this subject, and if had then been called
upon to decide, should probably have de-
clned to give Mr. Clay my vote. Subse-
uuent inquiry has led me to change my
views; and as there may be those who still
cherish similar doubts, would ask their at
tertion tOafew plain considerations, which
have relieved my own mind on this sub
ject.
To illustrate my present views, take 4
case which has actually occurred. We all
know that William Wilberlorce was Il man
Of grpat cplscientiOusne ess and elevated
christian principles. Yethe gave his vote,
for many years, to keep William Pitt at the
head of the British government, th0"rh
Mr.. Pitt, during that very period fought a
duel, lived in the habitual violation Of the
Christian Sabbath, and often INDUCED in
excess Of wine. How could Mr.. Wilber-
force vote for such man with clear con
science! .trt.a .-.
The brief answer is, He made distinc-
ton between the Minister and the man; he
felt that he could support Mr.. Pitt in bis
public capacity without giving the least
aanction to tho errors of his private life
Let US look at this distinction, and see if it

THE PASSION FLOWERS.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.

BY BARRY CORNWALL.
'Tis night, Ills night, the hour of hours
When love lies down with folded wings
BY Pysche in her starless bowers,
And down his fatal arrow fings'
Those bowers whence not word is heard,
- Save only from the bridal bird.
Who midst that utter darkness sings
Sweet music, like the running springs;
This her burden, soft and clear
Love is here! Love is herei
IT'S night! the moon is ON the stream,
Bright spells are on the soothed sea,
And Hope, the child is gone to dream
Of pleasures which may never be;
And now is haggard Care asleep,
Now doth the widow Sorrow smile;
And slaves are hushed in slumber deep,
Forgetting grief and toll awhile!
What sight can fiery morning show,
To shame the stars or pale moonlighG
What beauty can the day bestow,
Like that which falls on gentle night!
Sweet lady sing I not Alright!
Oturn and tell me--for the day
Is faint and fading fast away,
And now comes back, the hours Of hours
When love his Iovlier mistress seeks,
Signing like winds amongst the flowers,
Until the maiden silence speaks.
Fair girl, methinks-may hither turn
Those eyes, which mid'st their bushes burn
Methinks, at such a time ones heart
Can better bear both sweet and smart;
Loves look--the frst--which never dieth
Or rdeath-which hcomes when beauty hietll-
When strength is slain, when youth is
past,
And all, save truth is lost at last!
