Who is Mrs. James H. Polk ?

The Wings were at first at some loss to
know something about the President Elect.
The enquiry ran thro' their papers, " Who
is James X Polk!" Since the people
found out acho he IS, and since the wings
now know him to be the President Elect
of the United States-since they know that
he is the stone carved out of the mountain,
- wi.hou. hands, which smote the image
upon his feet, that were of iron and clay,
and broke them to pieces"-since they
know who James X. Polk is, and are des-
tined to know much more of the man.
who is armed by the authority Of the peo-
pie with the highest offi..e in the Republic,
another enquiry has been started, WHO
is Mrs. james X. Polk 2" Upon this sub
ject. as married ladies change their names
without losing their virtues. some more diff
6culty has been experienced-and the ques-
ton is running the rounds through the pa
pers. Some error has been committed up
on this subject, and the lady has almost
been as much mistaken as the master OF
the household. We have already pub
lished paragraph, that her maiden name
was Easton, but this is corrected in the
following paragraph from a Northern pa
per:
The Presidents Lady.-We are in
formed, that the article published in our
paper of Wednesday last, and copied from
one in Philadelphia, in relation to the ear
ly connexions of Mrs. Polk, is not correct.
Mrs. Polk, the lady Of the President Elect,
was not Miss Easlon. member of Gen'l
Jackson's family. There were three Ia
dies who did the honots Of the Presiden-
tial Mansion at that period-Mrs. Donald
son, Miss Easton, and Miss Lewis. They
were all distinguished by beauty. grace,
and accomplishments. They combined sa
throw charm around the private hospi'
talities of the President, and they gave
brilliancv TO his public levecs. Mrs. Don
aldson, the wife Of Major Donaldson, theh
private Secretary to the President, and now
Charge d'Affaires to Texas, is now deceas'
ed. Miss Easton, in the first term of Gen
JacKson's Administration, married MEM
Der of Congress from North Carolina. L
is believed that this gentleman's name wa:
Polk, which has given rise to the miscon
ception now noticed. Miss Lewis married
Monsieur Pageot, then Secretary of the
French Embassy and Minister Plenipoten
,iary of France to this Republic. She j.
the daughter Of VIM. B. Lewis, Esq. Sc
cond Auditor of the Treasury Department
a. Washington. Mrs. Polk. the lady o
The President Elect, is, we are advised
peculiarly fitted for the high station which

Ho,v to catch Crows.-Wilson, in his
American Orni,hology, says that crows
have been employed to catch crows, by
the following stratagem:
A live crow is pinned by the wings
down TO the groui.d Oh his back by means
oftwo forked sticks. Thus situated his
cries are loud and incessant, particularly
if any other crows are within view. These
sweeping down about him. are instantly
srappfed and held fast by the PROSTATE
prisoner, with the same instructive impulse
that urges drowning man to grasp at ev-
ery thing within his reach. The game be-
ing disengaged from his clutches. the trap
is again ready for another experiment.; and
By pinning down each captive successfully.
as soon as taken, in short time you will
probably have large flock screaming a.
bout you, in concert with the outrageous
prisoners below. This method of catching
crows is. believe prac,iced in some parts
Of England to catch jays, who make a

Battles on The Subbath.-Great NJ

Battles on The Sabbath.-Great men
and military men, Of whom it has been
said ofthe latter, "they know no sabbath, y
are no more justified in violating the sab
bath on large scale than on a small one,
no more than the most humble in the land.
The battle of Waterloo was fought on the
sabbath, and Napoleon who began it was
defeated. The battle of New Orleans was
fought on the sabbath, and the British ar
my, who began the battle were defeated
with terrible slaughter. The naval battle
fought by commodore McDonough with
the British fleet on lake Champlain, took
place on the sabbath. The British began
the attack and were defeated, although
their force was so great that it was mat
ter of wonder that a small American force
should have been able TO capture force so
greatly superior. Here then are three bat
ties, not to name more, which were fought
on the sabbath. and in each case the force
which began the attack were defeated.
The coincidence is striking. however it
nay be accounted for.-Chrisfiaa Report.

The First Wedding,

Major Noah thus pleasantly and philoso-
phicaliy discourses upon the '.frst we'd
ding" He says:
''We like short courtships, and in this,
Adam acted like sensible man-he fell
asleep bachelor and awoke to find him
self a married man. He appears to have
popped the question almost Immediately
after meeting Md'Ie Eve, and she, without
any filtration or shyness, gave him kiss
and herself OF that first kiss in this
world we have had, however, our own
thoughts, and sometimes in a poetical
mood have wished we were the man what
did it, But the deed IS dOne-the chance
was Adams and he improved it.
We-like the notion of getting married in
a garden. 1t is in good Taste. We like q
private wedding. Adams was private. Nc
envious beaux were there; no croaking OLD
maids; no chattering admits and grumbline
grandmothers. The birds of Heaven were
the minstrels. and the glad sky flung its
lights upon the scene. ;
Zone thing about the first wedding
brings queer things to us, in spite oil Its
Scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were
rather Young 10 be married-some two OF
three days old, according to the sages,
|specula,ions of theologians-mere babies
larger bu!notolder-wAhou experience,
without house, without pot or kettle,
nothing but love and Eden.

We understand that Mrs. Folks maiden
name was Childress, the daughter of Judge

The last Procession.

1O A<ASb. HVCCSSAOMs
Methought at .eventide paused,
One cold November day,
Where dry and grim an "ash-pole" stood,
Like ghost beside the way
When on mine ear wall arose,
And slowly Ger mine eye,
With solemn tread heightened train,
In funeral guise, swept by.
First, with face whose depth of gloom
Ambitions blight had cast,
The 'Mill-Boy of the SIashes" moved -
The chiefest mourner past;
And then to soothe his rising grief,
With sympathetic tear,
With solemn air, SO meek and good,
Walked Frelinghuysen near.
With branding.iro in each hand,
From his far travels come,
Unsolaced in his deep despair,
StaEked "Roorback,' dard and glum;
While dolorous upon the breeze,
All " hecLlI4Sy anu "Iuc,
Like his own windy bellows, the
Poughkeepsie blacksmith" sighed.
And then that " coach expressly built
And decked with silk and gold,
The great "embodiment' to bear,
With sullen motion rolled;
And as along the dusky way
It's darkening course it kept,
Beside it, with his Clay g Tribune"
Poor Greeley walked and wept.
Then thronged long and dismal host,
A thousand men or more,
And each upon frowzy rag
A scurvy motto bore;
And colporteurs, with "Junius" tracts,
A crushing, weary load.
Bent down with WEAKNESS and woe,
In sad procession trode.
And sorely on his wounded calf,
With tear-drops in his eye,
The great godfather of the 'Whiss,"
Tn immortal Webb, limped by;
A doleful dirge Joe Hoxie sang,
Amidst that sorrowing train,
And "Glee Clubs" and 'Clay Ministries" joine
The melancholy strain.
And thus they passed in long array.
AT evenings sOmbre hour,
And grief was heavy on each heart,
With its o'crmastering power;
For broken, ''bustcd," ''gone to pot"
Exploded, vanished, fed,
The great Wing party was no more

II Charming Portrai.-Gaze into a
pure fountain in the moment in which day
divides itself from night see the magic
light of morning at once mirroring itself
there in with the heaven and its gliitering
stars, and thou has an image of Nina's
soul. So pure was she-so cleaned in the
depths OF her being ever eternal truth.
But all this sweet splendor broke as .hro'
a twilight; it was foretelling of light, not
of light itself. She was the original man
AS man in his innocence in his first,
holy beauty. Her soul seemed to be one
with the beautiful body, it belonged to it,
and appeared motion in it. Her manner
possessed that charming repose, which
nothing OF sef-consciousness can counter
felt. Unconstra;ned but modest, she was
still self-colecteJ. 1t gave sweet tranquil
ty to the mind and to the eye to contemplate
her. How beautiful and harmonious were
the movements of her tender arm, of her
fine white hand her gait how floating,
how quiet and noble! 1t would be difficult
10 give description Of the beauties and
charms Of her countenance but he who
has seen the pure finely arched brow made
radiant. siken soft hair, the wonderful eye
beneath their dark lashes, the small Gre
clan nose, the hewirching mouth, The swee,
oval of her face, and the dazzling fair skin
must have declared with Miss Greta,
that she was the loveiest creature Of G od's
creation. Her eyes had the same form as
those Of her sister Adelaide, but with d
much less lively glance. Over Nina's
dark blue eye, lay, as it were, mist OF
twilight, whose magic was indescrbable.
Something pensive, something dreamy
| lay in her glance. No clear day. no gay
life, spoke out Of it; but something fore
boding, something of an inward emotion
When she listened to the words of ano.h
er, she had the most amiable expression oil
present sympathy; and when she answered
in her own manner, rather slowly, but in
the most delicious tones of voice, one
learned then to estimate one Of the mos
beautiful, but commonly most neglected
of Gods gifts to man.-SoMhey.
