y he Poor.

How few sympathise with the poor
and unfortunate! The man Of wealth
knows not the struggles OF his neigh
Dor to obtain an honest support, and
he will never know them, unless he
himself becomes reduced in circum-
stances. To read distrust and unklnd-
ness in every eye, is almost death to
the kind feelings and warm hearts of
honest poverty. 1t is this that drives
so many to desperation, and leads them
to the commission Of acts that once
thev shrunk back from with horror.--
TO be poor is nothing but to be slight
ed--to be spoken against--to be treat
ed scorn(ully---to have your name sui
fer among mankind--oh! it is dreadful
to the pure and sensitive mind.
There are men who take delight to
crush the spirits Of the unfortunate, land
gall them TO the quick. A remark is
sometimes made, or word spoken
for the sole purpose of giving pain to
another. Abroad, where the poor man
is not known, how often is it the case
that he is abused, and his credit ruined
so that when men are ready and will
ling to accommodate hlm. another steps
IN and declares him unsafe to be tlus
ted.
Ye who are rich and have faults ot
your own, be a little tender and com
passionate towards your neighhorS. II
is not Christian--it does not betrav a
good citizen. to attempt to Inlure ano'
ther, or even whisper word. When
a friend is in the lowest ebb of poverty
exert yourself to lit him up and en-
courage him. You will do an incaIcu
liable service to him and his family ,and
the sunshine Of bcnevolence will give
warmth and pleasure to your bosom
through life--to say nothing OF wha
kind Of feeling it would be for youhere
after.-- Christina.

POETRY.
+" Come ALL"

Come; all ye brave Americans, we'd have you for
That for to fight the Mexicans we're going for to
go
To whip the bloody Mexicans, to whip them Ger
and o'er,
Or leave them but dead mans length upon our
sacred shore.
It's twice we've licked the Britishers on land and
on the sea,
They found they couldn't conquer us, and SO they
set US free;
They would have stamp'd our paper, but our faith
er's stanpd the ground
And paid the tax in musket-balls at twenty 10 the
pound.
We've met the grey wolf in his den. the panther
in his lair,
Have fought the savages, hand to hand, have Crap
pied with the bear,
Have trod Z" the dark and bloody ground, have
hid in caves and rocks;
And when we could mt play the mai, I'VE silly played
the fox.
Ho. merchant, leave your dainty store; ho! stu
dent, leave your books;
Ho! pensive lover. walk no more by streams and
lulling brooks;
Ho! every one, lay work aside; leave hammer, axe
and spade,
And win renown from Southern men and love
from Southern maid!
To arms to arms lawless foe to craft and rapine
bred,
Has dared pollute with hostile foot the soil where
freemen tread;
Stout hunters in the wilderness, strong mowers OF
the swarh.
To arms and blast the invader with the lightning:
of your wrath!
Avenge the death Of Ring gold, and pour your fury
down.
Like hai-storm in November, on the murderer
of Brown
For every brave American, whose blood hath
bathed the ground.
Pile up thousand Mexicans in many reekni
mound!-
And shout huzza for Taylor our general, bold an
wise,
And for our gallant army let shout on shout arise
Till the Rocky Mountains send them in echoes L
the strand
And the hoar Atlantic rolls them TO every despot'
land.
Come one, cdme all, We volunteers, come gathe
for the fight!
TO see the foemen flying will be pleasant sight,
TO sec the foemen falling, and to know that yo'
are there
Will be worth common lifetime and fifty year.
to spare!

THE SEVEN YEAR WAR.-The seven
years war ragged from 1856 to 1852,
and nearly all the European powers
were engaged in 1t. 1t originated in u
dispute between England and France,
relating to the Canadas; the French en-
croached on tract OF country claimed
b, the English, in the wilderness, un-
cultivated and uninhabited, except by
savages; and this war has often been
called "a strife about so many acres Of
snow" The miseries which it occa-
stoned in the interior Of Europe, have
been seldom equalled; and at length,
the Grand Signior invites the European
Ministers at his court to hold con-
ference, and after stating to them the
great adherence he felt at the bloody
war thus raging between so many
christian nations, offered his :neditations
for ehecting general peace. The
ofer Of the Mohammedan peace-maker
was not accepted, but rejected with
pride and scorn, and hostlities were
continued until poverty brought peace.
This war is represented by historians
as one Of the most successful that Eng.
land was ever engaged in. One hun.

Recollections of Chief Justice
Marshall.

Marshall was noted for extreme
plainness of person and address, and a
child-like simplicity of character. His
carelessness of his personal attire, in
early life particularly, is we'll known,
and on one occasion, (as stated In the
Literary Messenger) while travelling,
occasioned his being refused admitiance
into public house. On the occasion
which we are now to relate. II caused
him the loss of a generous lee. Mar
shall, when just rising on the proies-
sional ladder, was one morning stroll
ling through the streets Of Richmond,
at,ired in plain innen roundabout
and shorts, with his hat under his arm,
from which he was eating cherries.
when he stopped in the porch OF the
Eagle Hotel, INDUCED in some little
pleasantly with the landlord, and pas
sed on. Mr.. p, an elderly gentleman
from the country, then present, who
had case coming on before the court
of appeals,was referred by the landlord
10 Marshall, as the best advocate Tor
him to employ; but the careless, Ian
guild air of the young lawyer. had so
preiudiced Mr.. P. that he refused to
engage him. On entering court, MIR.
p. was second time referred to him:
by the clerk Of the court, and second
time declined. At this moment enter
ed Mr.. v, a venerable looking legal
gentleman,in powdered wig and black
coat, whose dignifed appearance pro-
duced such an impression upon Mr.. 2.
that he at once engaged him. In the
first case which came on, Marshall and
Mr.. V. both addressed the court. The
vas, inferiority Of his advocate was 50
apparent, that at the close of the case.
MIR. P. introduced himself to young
Marshall, frankly stated the prejudice
which had caused him, in opposition to
advice TO employ Mr.. "; that he ex,
tremely regretted his orror, but knew
not how to remedy it. He had come
into the city with one hundred dollars
as his LAWYERS fee, which he had paid.
and had but five left, which, if Marshal
chose, he would cheeriully give him fol
assisting in the case. Marshall, pleased
with the incident, accepted tie offer
not, how ever, without passing a SLY
joke at the omnipotence of powdered
wig and black coat. Marshall was &C
customed 10 so to market, and tre
quently unattended. Nothing was more
unusual than 10 see him returning al
sunrise, with poultry in one hand and
vegetables in the other. On one oI
these occasions, wouId-be fashionable
young man from the north, who hao
recently removed to Richmond, was
swearing violently because he could
hire no one to take home his turkey
Marshall stepped up, and ascertaining
Of him where he lived, replied" Tha
ismy way, and | will take it for you
When he arrived at his dwelling, tn,
young man inquired, "What shall
pay you" "Oh, nothing" was th'
rejoinder, "you are welcome, it was
on my way, and no trouble" "Wh
islhat polite old gentleman who brough
home my turkey for mel" inquired tn
other Of bystander, as Marshall STEP
ped away. "That," replied he, 81
