An UnWelcome Guest.

During the winter of 1777, New York,
Long and Staten Islands, were in quiet pos
session of the British army and the season for
active operations not having arrived, they
lived a life of dull inactivity Marauding
parties were, however, frequently sent over
into New Jersey, committing many outrages
and ma! king heavy levies upon the Rebel''
population.
Nat Randolph, or as the name was usually
pronounced, RandaH," was a " Rebel of
gallant daring, and of the Jersey blood
From his earliest youth he had lived on the
rising ground, but short distance from Kill
Van kuhl Sound, near Woodbridge Creek.
He had hunted over every acre within many
miles OF his native spot, and fshed in every
stream and had acquired an intimate knowl-
edge Of every byc-path and each nook and
corner Of the whole country. The British
had, in some of their foraging excursions,
driven off his fathers cattle, and had shown a
particular hatred to all of the name in that re-
gion because Of their well known support of
the Republican cause. Nat had not whit
more love for the enemies ofhis country, than
they had shown for him, and often had he and
his companions vowed vengeance, and many
a time had the British forces felt his power,

Of the weather, the British officers gave a ball
at small inn near Richmond. Brgadier
Gen. Bird, with his suite, succeeded in gath

though they were by no means friendly to the
cause of the invader did not object to little
harmless amusement which would serve to
beguile the weary hours of long winters eve
and afford them an opportunity of displaying
their rustic charms, and flirting with the gaily
dressed officers. A couple Of fiddles played

The Liberty Party,

For some time past, there has been some
thing approXmating to " a very pretty quar-
rel" among the Liberty party journals, and
the end is not yet,-respecting the very mo-
mentous question, whether a National Con-
yention of the party should be held this fall,
or sometime next year, to nominate candi-
dates for the Presidency of the United States.
The controversy has been conducted with
considerable piquancy, the National Era re-
presenting tile division for postponcment and
the Emancipator that for an early nomination.
The two sides appear to be SO nearly balance
ed, that it makes it a new matter OF dsputa-
ton, which has the preponderancc. On the
whole the Emancipator claims to represent the
majority; and in its last number, it publishes
certain letters received from Alvan Stewart
Of New York, Schuyler Hoes of New Jersey,
Titus Hutchinson Of Vermont, Samuel Fes-
sender of Maine, T. j. Lcmoyne of Pennsyl-
yania, and Francis Gillette Of Connecticut
members Of the National Committee" all of
whom coincide in the eXpediency Of holding
the Convention either in September or Octo-
Der next. The gravity with which the whole
affair is conducted is exceedingly ludicrous
as if the Convention were of the slightest con-
sequence, in political point of view, wheth-
er it be held at the earliest or the latest pc
riod suggested.
Can any body tell us where the Liberty
party is, or what it is? Is it governed by
any principle, and if so, what is it? In Mas
sachusetts, it will not vote for any man, how
ever anti-slayery he may be, who calls him
self Il Wing Or a Democrat. John G. Palfrey,
Daniel p. King and Charles Sumner, arc no
more acceptable to it than Daniel Webster,
Robert G. Winthrop, ard Caleb Gushing. In
New-lIampshire, it readily coalesccS wM
Wings and Democrats, who arc no more anti,
slavery in spirit and sentiment Qo say the
least) than N'essrs. Paltrey, King and Sumner.
In the Empire State, Il similar amalganation
took place on the License question though
perhaps not so universally. Whether, there
fore this party be flesh, fish or fowl or a
little of each, or all these consolidated, we arc
at a loss 10 determine.

CUR1osITIEs OF ART, 1t is singular how
some men have directed their energies OF
mind to perfecting toys, which although dis
playing wonderful inventive powers, yet have
never conferred any benefit on mankind, or
have ever been used for any other purpose
than as a piece of amusement, the childish ex
hibtion Of masculine mind, the fame of
fooIery, the foolcry of fame.
Thus jerome Faba, an Italian priest, and
native Of Calabria, exercised himself in a
species of industry, wonderful from its diff
Guilty. He finished work Of lockwood, which
represented all the my steries Of the passion,
! and which might be put in the shell, ola wal
nut. To him was attributed a coach the size
of grain of wheat, within which there were
to be seen a man and women, a coachman
who drove it, and horses who drew it.
These were presented to Francis |. and
Charles V.
In China the tomb Of Confucius has been
made in small miniturc no larger than nut
but wonderfully composed of precious metals
and adorned with profusion of gems but its
chief value consists of the labor expended on
its execution. Its landscapes, dragons, angels,
animals, and human figures would require
several pages Of description, which after all
would, without a view of the model, prove
tedious and unintelligible
Charles the fifth of Spain had a watch which
was confined IN the jewel of lis ring, and a
matchmaker in London presented George the
third with one also set in the same manner.
Its size was something less than silver two
pence; and it contained one hundred and
tive nty-five different parts, and weighed alto
gether no more than five pennyweights and
seven grains.
The Tomb of Raphael executed by an Ttal-
ian named Raccayala, is indeed wonder. It
is only twelve inches in height and from an
inch to four inches in diameter, it is adorned
with various architectural ornaments, in the
richest style of Gothic, and also figures of the
Virgin and child. The work is said to be of
unrivaled merit and beauty. The model is
contained in case of wrought gold, and is it.
self of lockwood The general design may be
regarded as architectural, embelished with
several compartments Of sculpture or ofcarv-
ing, consisting Of various groups of figures
These display different events in the life of
Christ. Some Of the figures are less than q
quarter of an inch in height; but though thus
minute, are all finished with the greatest pre-
cision and skill, and what renders this exc
cution still more curious and admirable is the
delicacy and beauty with which the back and
distant figures are executed.
We may from time to time give some de-
scriptions of the wonderful curiosities of art,
to show that like the ancient Greek, some men
have been engaged in pitching peas through
the eye of needle.-Scientifc american.

Sir H. Pigott himself was hit by a Yankee
johnny cake, which completely destroyed his
appetite, besides carrying away three of his
vest buttons. In vain did General Starvation
endeavor to hold his ground. Every dis
charge from the gallant ship caused him to
quail, until at last, overcome and overpowered
by the incessant showers of corn, barley beans,
bread and salt pork, he turned to run, when
howitzer of smoked hams came rolling from
the ship, and hitting him behind knocked him
clear into the last end of the next century,

Famine, Col. Gaunt, Maj Hunger, Capt.

lowers took to their heels and fled from the

Thus have Corn and Wheat achieved an
other great victory, and crowned the brows Of

MOVE ON.

All the starss in heaven are moving.
Ever round the bright spheres rowing;
Twinkling, beaming, raying, shining,
Blacklist night with darkness lining;
Ave ! revolving thro' the years,
Playing music Of the spheres,
Like tile eastern star Of old
Moving toward the shepherds fold,
Where the wise men grace to them
Found the babe of Bethlehem.
God is in each moving star;
Gcd drives on the pIeiad car;
Let his will on earth be done
AS in heaven the stars move on
Move on Keep moving
Progress is the law of loving.
All the waves of sea are flowing,
As the winds of heaven are blowing;
With gentle beam like culver
Flows the sheamlCt to the river;
With q stronger waved commoti0n
Flows the river to the ocean
While seas pillows evonnore
Flow and gain upon the shore
Wave on wave in bright spray leaping
Like endeav0rs reyor sleeping;
While the pool W hich moveth never,
Grows 4 sta 5u.llt bog for ever
White gilled die its tenant tench,
Green its water, fou! its stencil,
Wilderilp ma-sh-tirys DER it run,
While straight flows the river on.
Move on Keep moving!
Progress is the law Of loving
Thus within the skies and ocean
Life is married unto motion
