The Mechanics saturday Night.

OH sweets the home Of the to-worn mechanic,
When labor is hushed in the stiffness Of night;
When the hum Of commotion, disaster and panic,
Is still as the stars in the orbit Of light.
But sweeter by far is the neat little mansion
When o'erhowing boards Of his industry speak,
When the sweet covered table Of widest expansion,
Repenished by stores at the end Of the week
With plenty all smiling in natural sPlendor;
With products of nature delicious and sweet,
And the choicest of vands his earnings can render
All clustering high in the lowly retreat
How rich is the banquet, how great the proiuslon-
How happy the man when his laborngs cease
When his efforts are yielding the greatest diffusion
OF harmony, happiness, pleasure and peace.
OH bright is the hearth of the workman at even,
And Kindly the feeling his bosom must know,
When his generous heart in its fulness hath given
The bread he has earned by the sweat Of his brow;
And how sweet is the scene Of his family pleasure,
The holy affections they fondlY retain;
When he clasps to his breast his own loving treasure
And fondes his little ones over again.
Ye spirits of mercy look down on his dwelling
And guard his abode in the midst Of alarm,
When the surges of poverty frghtfully swelling,
Or frowns o'er his cottage adversity's storm;
OH come like pilot of truth on the ocean,
And guide his lone bark to the haven he'd seek;
And render his life in his country's devotion,
AS sweet as his home at the close of the week.

INDUSTRY AND lYTEGRITY.-There is nothing

houseless and breadless-compccd to wander on
foot from village 10 village, with his bundle on
his back, in order to procure laoor and the means
of subsistence, has become the talented and hon.
orable young man to-day, by the power of his
good right arm, and the potent influence Of his
pure principles. firmly and perpetually maintain
ed. When poverty and what the world called
disgrace stared him in the face, he shuddered not,
but pressed onward and exulted in high and hon.
orabe eXertion in the midst of accommodating dis
asters and calamities. Let the young man be
cherished, for he honors his country and dignifes
his race. High blood-if this courses not in his
veins, he is reeborn American, and therefore
sovereign and prince. Wealth-what cares he
for that so long as his heart is pure, and his walk
upright? He knows, and his country knows, and
his country tells that the little finger of an hon.
est and upright young man is worth more than
the whole body of an effemnate and dishonest
rich man. These are the men who make the
counry-who bring TO it whatever of iron sinew
and uniailing spirit it possesses or desires-who
are rapidly rendering it the mightiest, most pow.
ertul as it is already the freest land beneath the
circle Of the 1dliSman.

'Tis smoke, chew, smoke;
His mouth is stuffed from ear TO ear,
Or putting the stump of a pipe so dear,
And his days will end, Iverily fear,
In smoke, smoke, smoke.
Young ladies', beware! live single indeed,
Ere you marry man who uses "the weed"
Better that husbands you should ever lack, o,
Than marry husband who uses tobacco"
JUDY.
