The Indiana Inn.

We were a gay, harmonious, and care.defying
party, that had been making short tour through
the most pleasant part of the interior of Indiana,
and were now lndianapolis-b each with his
own chosen partner and tried pheton, for if the
roads through this growing State try mems souls,
(that is, their patience) much more do they wiring
the leathern withers of the groaning and unlucky
carriage that is made 10 bear its living burdens
over the cut-up corduroys of Indiana. Itwas the
close Of September, and the weather was delight
fully COOL pleasant and agreeable, as was the par
ty, all save the GOODNESS, for first, there was MIR.
O., with his youngbrde, and that widest of wags,
d. M, with his quiet little wife, another phaton,
whose contents shall be nameless, and the Rev.
h., wife and babe, who kept US in order, particu-
larly the babe. We were within two days drive
of lndianapolis,-it was drawing near night, and
we were as hungry as fasting wolves; when we
struck into the State road, and learned there was
a small town about two miles ahead, where there
were capital inns, and refreshments ditto.
With appetites very much strengthened by the
length, breadth, and depth. of this information,
gently admonishing our steeds, and promising
them clean rooms with fresh provender, we push.
ed bravely forward, and in reasonably short
time, drove up before long, white, frame house,
that stood in the centre of the village, and was,
with singular appropriateness, called the "Trav.
eller's Home" Here we waited short time, but
no ostler or landlord appearing, we alighted, and
assisted our fair companions in their perous des-

of his pocket magnifying-g glass, pronounced to be

certalning from this shadowy being, that he was
landlord Of the quite respectable-looking house
before US, and moreover, that he was stable-boy
and ostler likewise, in fact, that he was the only
creature that was encased in breeches on the pre-.

THE FOREIGN NEWS.

The Acadia has come in on the heels of the
Great Western, with four days later news, bring
ing Liverpool dates TO the 4th inst. The news by
thesesteamers is of great imporanceto the States.
1t is now prominently stated that the stocks of
grain in England are found to be so large, taken
with the importsfrom this side,th comparative
ly small supplies will be needed from abroad
This is prodigious falling off from the estimate
Of "The Times,' that four million quarters OF
foreign grain would be required from abroad to
supply the country till next harvest. The quota
tons by ths Acadia are--four in bond SIS. per
barrel, free flour, 34s. to 34s. Cd. per barrel,-
Corn, duty paid, 55s. per $50 pounds, which is

THE FOURTH OF MARCH.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer
says:
An interesting fact was elected here few days
since, in the decision of bet between two gen.
tlemen, in reference TO the day set apart by tho
Constitution for the Inauguration of the President
of the United States, viz: the 4th of March Ii
was supposed by some that that day might come
on Sunday, and therefore the ceremony should
be postponed till the following day. By refer
ring TO the debates Of the Convention that formed
the Constitution, it was found that the Fourth of
March in every fourth year would not fall on
Sunday for the period of three hundred years,
and it was on that account selected as the naugu-
ration day by that body.

The BacheIOr's Lament.

They tell me to hasten and marry
But an! It's the cost that fear;
And prudence still warns me to tarry,
Ere seeking amusements so dear.
Oh, there's rapture unmeasur'd in wooing,
And sweet the confession when won:
But the housekeeping horrors pursuing,
Are sure to make sentiment run.
Thus mus'd 'tother night, as fair Chloe
Swan round in the dance at my side!
must furnish that wardrobe so showy,
If rashly | made her my bride.
That slim fairy foot, and its fellow,
That tread the light measure so gay,
Must with satin be shod, and prunella,
And husband the piper must pay.
At glance of that ankle 50 slender
My heart the dear bargain would close:
But my head bids me before I surrender,
Remember the price of the hose.
That hand, so desired beyond measure,
The suitor that ventures to hold,
Can only secure such treasure
By hopping the fingers with gold.
Those eyes, though their vision surpasses
The eagles that pierces the light
Must be aided with opera glasses,
Howe'er they embanass the sight.
Though made up of roses thy face is,
Such roses bloom not in the run;
We must veil them in the best Of point laces,
Or freckles will soon OveHun.
Sweetest mouth that e'er smiled upsn mortal,
Hides organs Of hunger within;
And dainties must pass the red portal,
Or soon cherry-liPs will grow thin.
All! that charms so desired bya lover
Have duties so costly assigned
That the pearls which thy smiles now uncover,
The choice of the market must grind!
Thy form richest fabrics must cumber
With many garment of show;
And with, doubtless, of many number
That bachelors never may know.
Thy brow, the fair temple where towers
High honor in marble enshrined,
Must be thatched with straw, feathers and flower
To keep out the sun and the wind.
Thy care must be constantly petting
With rarest cosmetics thy face
Thy nose be INDUCED in coquetting
With 'kerchiefs bewildered with lace.
Those tresses, ensnaring allurers,
With fllets of gold we must bind;
Thy ears must be fed with bravurus,
And hung with the jewels of Ind.
Strange! that man should embellish creature,
Already more fair than the morn;
That being most gifted by nature
Is the one we most love to adorn.
Why was Eden so pleasant to Adam
So rid of connubial ills!
Because his ingenious madam
Ne'er bored him with milliner's bills.
No bonnets had she for her tresses--
No silks did her person enroll;
So cheap were her costliest dresses,
For fig she had purchased the whole.
All! that was the season to marry,
Ere fashion made woman her thrall,
Her trumpery garments to carry
Yes! clothes are the curse Of the fall!

The Hon. John Young, the newly elected
Governor Of the Empire State, was in early life
thrown upon his own resources, his parents be-
ing in very moderate pecuniary circumstances.
He went to work, qualified himself for teacher
in common country school, was subsequently
a member of the Legislature, then member Of
Congress, and is now the Governor elect of the
largest and most powerful State in our great con.
federacy. This is bright example, worthy of
emulation by the poorest young man in the ma
ton.-PennsylrGHia Inquirer.

NEW TREATY AT WASHINGTON.

1t has for some days been reported from the
Federal Metropolis that Col. Benton has given
his unqualified adhesion to the ruling dynasty,
and will be the Administration leader in the Sen.
ate at the coming session.
We have just learned what is the quid pro quo
of this adhesion. Col. Benton's son-in.law, J..
c. Fremont, who has recently jumped over three
or four grades of his seniors in the Army, and
from Lieutenant made Lieutenant Colonel
has been appointed Governor of California! So
Stockton, Stevenson, Mason and all are adrllt,
Fremont is to be the autocrat of the new empire,
as the price of "od Bullion's" support of the tot
tering Executive. Such is the advantage of hav.
ing powerful friend at Court. Such is the game
which great men (in station) play, using for dice
the bones of the undistinguished multitude. We
have this information privately, of course, but
from such source that we feel very sure of its
authenticity.-Nev York Tribune.
