The manner in which Herman Blannerhas-

For a lone time we could not discover what
had finally become of Mrs. Blannerhassett.
The Review gives us the first intimation of
her END. Before, however, we attend the
death Of Margaret Blannerhassett, read one
verse, written by her own pen, in memory of
that lovely island, when that was desoIated
by a ruhian mob, and she was living at Mon
treal, in the ruins Of the past, with her flow
ers all withered and scattered.
The blackening fire has swept through her
The winds fly whistling through them, and

We believe there is yet a cabin or two on
the island, and cornfelds where the gardens
stood. But the palace of Fancy, the home
of Philosophy, of Beauty and Grace, will be
reared no more! Burr and Jefferson finish

Must we relate the last days of Margaret
Agnew? Providence has furnished mankind
with many lessons, but few more remarkable
or instructive than this. We close with the
words of the Review, which are apt and touch

"The reverses in this accomplished wo-
mans fortune, and in that Of her amiable hus-
band, illustrate the uncertainties of human
life, and unfold the mysterious doings of Pro-
violence with the children of men.
More than forty years have passed away
since these events were transacted, and moi
a veslige now remains of the splendid and
happy home of Herman and Margaret Blan-

vision of a pleasant dream while the thou

POETRY.
b Or.
BY OWEN O. WARREN.

Ir was no curse that said 10 Man,
Labor thy lot shall be;
And with the sweat upon thy brow
Thy hand shall nourish thee"
All who obey this high behest
Blessings in it have found
And health and wealth are gathered best
By those who till the ground.
The human frame is scarcely made
Till toll develop form;
And health which is not won by work
Will hardly bide the storm.
Or hand or brain, with pillow or pen,
May do Gods will below;
But sloth will wither hand and brain,
And quench the spirits glow.
Say not, thou Iordly son Of gold,
No need for Thee to toll /;
Say not there's nougbt IN do, except
BY serfs wed 10 the soil.
Are there not widowed hearts TO cheer
That pine in cold neglect;
And innocence to guide and guard,
And orphans TO protect!
Are there not godlike intellects
Now crushed in slavish fear,
my manu- wy NOlCCt NY pOh Jul oioO
To state OF angels here?
Are there not shackled limbs 10 free
Wild passions to reclaim
Wild deserts and their wilder men
Than widest beasts to tame;
j. jarring and discordant world
To harmonic and bind
Together firm with iron bands,
Till all be of one mind
Are there not friends in human shape,
That, from the throne of Power,
Watch, aye, lest widowed Liberty
Reclaim her long lost dover?
Is not the task yet TO be done
To Danish Crime from earth,
BY guiding and directing right,
Man from his very birth
To scatter Art and Science wide,
And thus prepare the way
For that Millennium to come,
When Love and Truth shall sway.
Is there not haggard, starving Want,
That feeds itself with Crime /;
And dread miasm in foul abodes
That kills men ere their time;
Are there not wrongs that every day
The rich heap on the poor;
Who toll and starve that heartless men
May swell their golden store?
Then say not, there is nought TO do
Labor-'tis Heavens command,
Each in his sphere, and soon there were
No sorrow in the land.
Without that toll none can be great
Without it none is good,
Or ever blameless and forgiven
Before his Maker stood.

CASS'S TEMPERANCE.

a beverage. although he is willing that
those Immediately about him should Judge

THE BUFFALO NOMINATIONS.

The disconnected Democrats, the Abolitionists,
the Birney men, the Hale men, the Giddings
men, with few very disappointed WINGS, who
had agreed to congregate at Buffalo and nominate
ticket for the Presidency, and Vice Presidency,
have accomplished their purpose. The Demo-
Gratis, it seems, had every thing their own way.
Mr.. HALE was thrown overheard. Great una
nimity prevailed in favor of Mr.. RITcHIE's sweet
little fellow, VAN buren, The Northern man
with Southern principles was nominated for the
Presidency by reclamation. To complete the
farce, CHARLES +. ADAMS was nominated Tor the
Vice Presidency.
These nominations secure the election OF zen
TAYLOR. The ticket will draw from the WING
party only those men who would not have voted
the Vine ticket in any event. We are inform
ed tina: already some of the few Wines who fol-
lowed the renegades ALLEN and WILSON into
the camp of sedition at Buffalo say that they can
not so far forget themselves and the party as to
vote under any circumstances for Mr. VAN b.
Rem AS for CHARLES f. ADAMS, he was never

CHOICE OF OCCUPATION.

1t is very common error with parents,
in determining upon the future occupa>
tons of their children, to fix upon pro-
fession, or some sedentary employment,
for those of weakly or delicate constitu-
ton: while to the robust and vigorous, is
assigned a more active and laborious &C.
crpatlon, demanding considerable bodily
exertion, and repeated exposure to the o.
pen air. As a general rule, the very OPP
posite course should be pursued the ro-
bust being the best able to bear up against
the pernicious effects of that confinement
and inactivity, to which the enteebled
constitution will very speedily fall prey !;
the latter will be materially benefited by
the very exertion and exposure to which
it is supposed to be unadapted.
When we examine the individuals who
compose the various trades and occupa>
tens, and find certain classes to present,
very commonly, pale, meagre and sick
~ aspect, while others are replete with
health, vigor and strength; we are not to
suppose that because the pursuits of one
demand but little, and those of the other
considerable bodily strength, the first are
best adapted to the weakly, and the latter
to the strong we are rather TO ascrlbe
this very difference in their appearance,
to the influence their several occupations
exert upon the health of the system.
Let the most healthy and vigorous indi-

LET TIE PEOPLE LOOK TO IT.

General CAss has received from the Treasury
more than $4,000 for extra pay; which is more
than any ten men have received since the forma-
ton of the Government He is committed to the
full extent to the whole system of extra allowan-
ces, and his example will be urged for the adop-
ton of the principle.
Should General CAss be elected, it will be the
means of taking from the Treasury of the United
States millions OF money to pay for extra allow
ances that will be claimed Demands will be pre-
scented from thousands of sources, Of every class
and description. and backed by evidence raked ;p
from every tainted source. 1t will be bride for
dishonesty, and a reward for bad morals.
This should be looked to with abiding impor
lance in the approaching election, as it involves,
not only the admission of the principle of extra
pay, but the unjust abstraction of the money of
the people from the Treasury.
General TAYLOR, in forty years public service
nerer has charged or receired csnf from the Cor
ernment. This was Washington's rule, and such
his example.-BdtteTy.

WHO'S Hurt THE Green Mountain
Freeman says, "the Wings are in agonies
lest Liberty men should vote for Mr.. Van
Buren,"
We do not know Wing who thinks it
any thing but the best kind of fun TO see
these Pharisees stripped of their ''phylac-
tories" The fact is, it is very "agoni.
zing" to the Freeman and lis pious>faced
fraternity, in whirling to the right>about
so suddenly, to encounter the hot blast Of
their own yesterdays breath, fright in
their face and eyes" amid the derision
and contempt OF all mankind. 1t ,cOuld
be very painful to us to see wings doing
the same thing To any great extent but
we have cause to thank hea EN- that our
party is made of quite different materials.
When our adrcrsaries take the trouble
Ct denolishing themselves quite off our
hands, aud volunteer TO proclaim their
own past hypocrisy and prone it too, in a
far more efficient manner than we are ca
pable of doing,-we think that to say the
least, "it becomes us to be resigned. -

ceptance of the Wing Philadelphia Con-
Y. Express.

The FIRST FRUIrs.-lfthe Wings of To-
wa had carried the county of Des Moines,
they would have secured a majority in
both branches of the Legislature. They
lost it, however, by fifty votes. 1t appears
that the Free Soil' party run ticket in
the County and got for it $50 votes. This
elected the Loco Foco Cass men. The
result is that two Cass anti-Free Soil U.
S. Senators will be chosen, where two
Wings, who are for it, might have been.
So in Indiana. We have lost the Legisla-
ture Of that State by the same means, and
with it the election Of Wing Free Soil

who is against it. Why don't men who

The LETTER FORGERIEs.-The New
Haven Palladium says We received to-
day letter from a particular friend OF
Gen. Taylor. whom We addressed in rela-
ton to two letters purporting to be from
General Taylor, defining anew his posi-
ton as a Presidential candidate. We
make the following extract from the gen.
tlemnn's reply:
One Of the letters purporting to be from
Gen. Taylor have seen. The other
have not have not the least doubt that
both are forgtries. have the most un-
bounded confidence in the discretion, sa-
gacity land ability of General Taylor You
may rest assured that he will not write
himself nor his friends into defeat. By
the same mail which bore your letter, /
received letter from Gen. Taylor, dated
Baton Rouge. Aug 10Th, which is con-
ceived in very different spirit from that
of the poor forgeries TO which you refer
We have also received information
which leaves scarcely doubt on our mind
that the letters are forgeries. 1t will be
recollected that it has already been dis
covered that Locofocoism has forged one
letter on Mr.. Fillmore and another on Mr..

1t IS the SAVIOR of legitimacy that gives this tick

We can say to our friends throughout the Uu-

S~c'ue the election of General TAYLOR Not a
WING of the North will, under any circumstan-
ces, vote this mongrcl ticket of Abolitionism and

LETTERS FROM GEN. TAYLOR

As the almanacks say, Look out for
rain about this time," so we say, Look
out for Taylor letters about this time, "
and in abundance too.
Loco Focoism is well aware that the
Wings Just now are peculiarly sensitive
upon the subject of letters from Gen.
Taylor, and hence they are supplying the
demand for them in their party, with avid
ity and in abundance. Forgery will be as
unscrupulously resorted to, as 1t ever was
in the warmest election times.
We see an extract from letter in the
Tribune, copied from a southern, not
Wing paper, DithOm name or date to per-
son sent, in which Gen. Taylor is repre-
sented as saying she would have accepted
the nomination of the Baltimore Conven>
ton. had it been rendered him on the
same terms as by the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. From Gen. Taylor $ reiterated de-
termination, expressed to many friends to
write no more letters for publication, wet be-
lieve this among many other letters TO be
like the one that preceded it the other day
"a forgery, or if not forgery, so connect
ed with other expressions in a context from
which it is taken, as to bear no offensive
meaning.
The WING must be green. very green,
who can now, after the successive expe-
rience of former years, be caught by
such loco foco forgeries. No letter from
Gen. Taylor should now be deemed gems
uine unless it comes before us under the
responsibility of some well known, respect
ed man. Forged letters will be as plenty
as hlackbelries. His political chart is in

F.crs ABOUT DIGEsTIoN.-Wheat Is
most nutritious of all substances except
ell, containing ninety-hve parts of nutrl-
mcnt to five of waste matter. Dry peas,
nuts, and barley are nearly as nutritious
as wheat. Garden vegetables stand low
es' on the list, inasmuch as they contain
when fresh. a large portion of water. The
quantity of waste matter il more than
ei1ht-;enths of the whole. Veal is the
most nutritious, then fowls, then beef, last
pork. The most nutritious fruits are
plurus, grapes, aprIcots, peaches, goose
berries and melons. Of all the articles
OF food, boiled rice is digested i'll the
shortest time-an houl. As it also con-
tains eight-tenths of nutritious matter, 1t
Is valuable substance of diet. Triple
and pigs feet are digested almost as rap>
idly. Apples, if swee; and ripe, are next
in order Venison is digested almost as
soon as apples. Roasted potatoes are di-
gested in half the time required by the
same vegetable boiled, which occupy three
hours and half-more than beef or nuts
ton. Bread occupies three hours and a
half-an hour more than is required by
