Most ShafaefuJand disgrace
'tuy.-Mr Jack, editor of the CO.
lumbus Whig, lately went in
company with IL MIR Randall to
the private study of a minister Of
the Gospel, the Rev Mr. Lyon, of
the Presbyterian church of Co
lumbus, and because he would
not retract certain statements
made in defence of his own cha
ter in the pulpit, dealt the minis
ter a blow which feIled him to
the earth.
The original cause of the oc-
.currence was an attack on MI
Lyon by the editor in the Whig;
against which Mr. Lyon defended
himseIfto his congregation. For
not retracting the statements he
made inhis defence, he was wait
ed on by these two courageous in
dividuals,a and assaulted in his own
room.
That not the least blame is at
tached to Mr. Lyon we may infer
from his congregation on the
next Sabbath passing unanimous
resolutions excuIpating him from
all censure in the affair.
To attack a parson in his study
is a new specimen Of the "decen.
cency' of whig editors.

UNRECoRDED GRAVES.

The tOmbs of princes. they are found
Amidst Cathedral halls,
With gold and marble glttering round
The high and trophied walls;
And crown and sceptre, imaged fair,
ProclalmIng proudly who lies there.
They OF the red right hand, whose fame
Hath filled the wondering world,
They, too, sepulchral honors claim,
A nd sleep with banners furl'd-
A glorious and triumphant band
Among the great ones Of the land.
But where are they, the NameIess Dead!
Who, since the birth of Time,
Their life blood generously have shed
In treedom's cause sublime!
Az! where are they! mo trophy waves
Above their Unrecorded Graves.
And where your martyrs, radient Truth!
Who, on the flaming pyre,
In hoary age, and blooming youth,
Have stood, baptised with fire!
Their death-songs have gone up to heaven
Where are their sacred ashes driven!
Ask we the winds-the rushing blast
Halh borne them far and wide;
Some in the forests depth are cast,
Some the green hill's side,
Oh!that meet fruits might crown such seed
That were a harvest rich indeed!
Your tombs, We wonderers, who repose
Meath Afric's burning sky,
Rejoicing e'en in hle's drear close
For Science sake to die
Say-who, to grace your eXlled dust,
Hath raised funeral urn Or bust!
Ye sleep amid the deserts, calm
E'en where you gasplng tel,
Beneath tile ohelskal palm,
OrEigh the brackish well;
And but The came's echoing tread
Furrows tie light sand Ger your bed.

Where Kingdoms mad been won,
What saw /! The green sod beneath
A Above, the golden sun;
While one proud ch ieftain bore away
The Iaurels Of that blood red day.

Deep, deep in Natures breast,

TIE PARTING LOOK.

We parted-co.d and worldly eyes
Upon that parting fell,
And blayely we kept back our sighs,
Aid calmly said Farewell"
Bnr there are looks, we learned Of Love
That none but love can read;
And, like the flash from cloud to cloud,
From heart TO heart they speed.
Calm, as it meier had breathei vow,
/ nv rich voice faltered not;
Serene as heaven thy princcly brow,
AS love were all forgot!
Yet, in one eager glance, thy soul,
On wings 0i light TO mine,
In Wild and pass onate sorrow stole,
And wills 3ered words divine!
Heavens blessing on that royal heart,
That thus can lavish feeling!
'Twas almost sweet, tho pain TO part,
Our silent love revealing!

The Doctor Ouiwnied.- Dr.. H
- was one of the most able, tall
ented and scientific surgeons Of the last
century. His practice embraced large
circuit, and his fame extended to every
part Of the State. The DR.. was one
morning sitting in his office, pouring
over some medical work fresh from the
mother country, via Of Boston, when a
loud rap at the door aroused him. Come
in,' said the doctor and an old lady hob
bled into the apartment, who seemed the
very embodiment Of dirt and negligence.
doctor, I've gotta desp'rate sore foot;
can you help itp

The old crone proceeded to divest her
understanding Of the apology for hose
with which it was covered, and dis.
played 10 the astounded Doctor foot
and such foot!
'My G-d' exclaimed the doctor,
throwing up both hands in amazement:
''what a dirty foot9

wonderment about it-there's diruer
feet than that il the Yorld--l'se wars

and the old bag cackled forth her plea
sure at the DOCTORS establishment.

"LoUDEK!"--A colored man lately
went to the post office, and putting bis
nose close up to the delivery box, cried
out ''Louder!" The clerk supposing the
negro to be deaf, and that he was making
a request Of him TO speak louder, so that
he could hear, asked him in very loud
tone, the name Of the person for whom
he wanted the letter.
"Louder!" cried the Negro.
"What name2" yelled the clerk.
''Louderm again bawled the negro
who now supposed the clerk TO be deaf.
The clerk took long breath, and
with all his might again beloved out in
the negro's face the same question,
WHAT name?' This was done IN so
loud a tone that the echo seemed to re,
turn from the far hills.
The negro started back in alarm,
shouting TO the very Top Of his lungs
"Louder, sir, Louder, tole you Louder !!
my name is nothing ese!"
"Oh, ah, oh, hoi" said the clerk, 'your
name is Louder, Ell! Didn't think of

Ts1e0yaDhic.--A letter from New York

Yesterday my attention was arrested by
the sight of wires at the corner of
Broome street, crossing each other over

the upper part of the city. These are
connected with the magnetic Telegraph
at the new Post Office, and lead to the
house of Mr.. Graham the Postmaster, in

HUNGRY FOR OFFICE.-The
wings, disappointed in their hopes
of Office under the general gov
ernment, have lighted down up
on the poor Whig governors.
In Maryland they measure ap-
pIications for ohiceas they do po-
tatoes in the market. Governor
Pratt has had one hundred BUSH
els sent him since his Inaugural
ton. From Baltimore city there
are eleven hundred applications
for the situation of wood corder,
besides quite anumber from each
of the other counties for the same
Office; out Of the whole number
but fourteen can be appointed.
The chances Of Office seekers
are less than Of drawing a prize
in a Iottery,-American Eagle.

Somebody is down on doctors
badly! Hear him:
If modern physicians, instead
Of wasting their time in chatting
and Joking with their friends, en-
pIoyed it in reading, learning,
examining, seeking, digesting.
and searching to the bottom the
secrets Of their art, in testing re-
ceIpts; if they treated patients as
they treat themselves; if they
did not make any difference be-
tween the grandees and the peo-
pie; if they evinced circumspec-
ton and vigilance in their at
tendance; they would see direct
" that the remedies which they
employ are the proper remedies
the effect would be seen imme-
diateIy in all the patients limbs
and there would be few prescrlp'
tons that would not succeed.
