Your CHNNGE, SIR.--One of those monde

was brought up with round turn" at d toll
gate, which he designed TO have passed with
out paving the usual fee. When ne found
himself in limbo, from " hich he could not e.
cape without 'iUrhing over, he inquired OF
a Young lady who was In attendance at the
gate, how much he had 10 pay before he could
pass the formidable barrier.
Three cents, sir, is the change for single
wagons" replied the young lady.
Three cents Is d three pence, the half OF q
>ixpence one of the smallest BITS of silver in
use, eh. young woman, ami rightf said the
dandy, feeling IN his pocket for his change.
Three cents, sir, 1t you please, said the
lady.
"ln your Office of highway man, young wo
man, you will subtract The amount of your de-
mand from this piece, and return me the bal
ance as conveniently quick as your ordinary
iocomoiion will allow, said the dandy gen
tleman, at the same time purposely dropping
shilling into the mud benea IN his wagon
':Ah! there it is in the mud, | declare.
wouldn't dirty my fingers for twenty of thern. .
The young lady took the shilling FROM tn

house, and returned with nine Cents, which
she placed Immediately under the wheel where
she had taken up the shilling
'-llilIo, billo, young woman, what is it you
mean" said The dandy. "Why don't you put
that coin in o my hand, ehf''
The girl archIy replied, ''Sir, found your
money under the wagon, there you will find
your change" and as she turned to go into the
house, she gave the fellow most significant
smile, and added, Il wouldn't dry ny finger,
for twenty of them! would you, MIR Dandy maj

PosITroN OF TIE WIG MEMBERS OF THE
LEGIsLATURE--In our editorial correspondence
twill be seen that the Wings stand ready to
cast their votes for the least Objectionable of
the Locofoco candidates for the U. S. Senate.
A large majority of the Wing members, we
firmly believe, will vote for no man who is not
decidedly opposed to the extension of the in
siituiion of slavery. For proof Of this we
would direct the attention of our readers TO
the proceedings, in another column, from
which il will be seen that the Wings have al
ready manifested their attachment TO free-soiI
principles by moving instructions and requests
10 our Senators aud Representatives, in Con-
gress to vote for the exclusion of slavery from
the Territories, and that in the House, where
the Locofocos have a majority of twenty, they
prevented the second reading of MIR. Julian's
resolution. Ii will be well for the public, and
those who voted for Martin Van Buren, partiC-
ularly, to watch the conduct of the present
Loco(oco Legislature We predict that, among
other democratic acts, they will defeat an ef-
ficient system of common schools. The truth
is-educate the masses, and there is all end TO
Locofocoism for ever and ever.

HOUSE, Tuesday, Dec. 8.

: Mr.. Julian offered joint resolution relative
TO the exclusion of slavery in the Territories
of New Mrxico and California, and that our
Senators and Representatives in Congress be
requested 10 vote for such prohibition. Passed

Mr. Julian moved TO suspend the rules, that
the joint resolution might now be read a sec
ond time. -a 49, 49,
Mr. EdmonsOn said that the resolution
was offered pre- maturely, as no committee. to
whom il could be referred, was yet appointed
Mr.. Julian replied by saying that The ques-
ton embraced in the resolution had been fully
discussed. and az no new facts could be elicit
I'd by ref :rring il TO committee, such refrr-
ence would be unnecessary.
Mr. Harlan said he would vote for the sus-
pension OF he rules on condition that he should
be allowed to oiler amendment, declaring
that our Senators snl Representatives should
not BIZ obliged TO vote for such exclusion until
after The '4lh of March next.

A PILGRIM REIIc.-We are sorry 10 be OBJ
liged I O record, saws the Boston Traveller OF
November 25th, the destruction of that veneer
able relic of the PILGRIMS, the old Pear Tree
at Eastman, planted BY Gov. Prince. of Ply
mouth Colony, more than two centuries ago.
The Yarmouth Register informs us that the tree
was blown down during the late gale.
This interesting memorial OF the Pilgrim
band stood. we believe, upon the farm ct MIR.
freeman, Eastman, once the dwelling place Of
Gov. Prince, by whose hands the tree is said
10 have been planted.
About the year 1913 The Plymouth Compa-
ny, discovering that they had settled upon a
very barren soil, began to look about for bet
ter place; and, after various explorations, they
pitched upon Nauset, (now Eastham,) and
having purchased the land of the Indians, they
agreed all to go there together, it being con-
sidered undesirable TO separate and weaken
the company. A portion of the company-ol
whom Mr.. Prince, afterwards Governor, was
one--went and commenced settlement al
Nauset, MIR. Prince occupying the spot now
included in Mr.. Freemans form, where he
planted this pear tree. Before the whole
company, however, had made arrangements tt
remove to Nauset the project was abandoned
and it was concluded 10 continue al Plymouth
MIR. Prince and his party remained'at Nauset
where some of the land had been clea red AM
long improved by the Indians. Mr.. Prince
even after he had been chosen Governor, con
tinued TO reside at Nauset.
We had an opportunity, says the Traveller
in the summer OF lSi7, of paying our respec
TO the Prince Pear Tree. Ii was then yield
Ing fruit to the seventh or eighth generation
At the time we copied, from some source no
now recollected, the following lines, which
purpor,ed to be addressed to the old Pear Tree
by descendant Of one of Gov. Princes com
panions in the settlement.
Old Time has thinned Thy boughs, old Pill
grim Tree,
And how'd the with the weight of man,
years;
Yet, mid The frosts of age, thy bloom we
see,
And yearly still thy mellew fruit appears.
Venerable emblem of our sirrs OF yore!
Like them thou hast performed LIES labor
we'll;
And when. like them, thy days are past ant
DER,
These lines may help thy lengthen'd storie
tell.

SINGULAR ErFEcTs OF ArrRAcrIoN.-The
Edinburgh Journal of Sciences has a very i'll
leresting paper, by DR.. Hancock, on the mo-
lions that result from merely mixing few
drops of alcohol with small phiai of Laurel
Oil. To exhibit this singular phenomenon,
which seerls TO bear some analogy with the
motions Of the planetary orbs, the drops of al
cohol should be introduced at different inter
walls of time. A revolving or circular motion
Instantly commences in the oil, carrying the
alcoholic globules through series of mutual
attractions and repulsions, which will last fol
many days. The round bodies, which seem to
move with perfect freedom through the fluid,
turn In small eccentric curve at each extremi-
ty OF their course, passing each other rapidly
without touching. In the course of his expert
ments, DR.. Hancock observed particles OF the
fluid to separate i'll large globular portions;
these commenced similar revolution, and the
smaller ones quilted their course and revolved
about the larger, while the latter still pursued
their gyrations after the manner of primary
planets and their secondaries.
