The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1850-01-31

How they COurted-A good story is
told of couple who carried on their courl-
ship IN rather novel manner. A young
man, clerk, had fallen in love with the
daughter of his employer; but from certain
ideas in regard to wealth, anything like a
match was strenuously opposed by the fa-
ther. The consequence was that the
young man was forbidden to visit the
house of his employer.
During the winter season, as the old
gentleman was in, the habit Of wearing his
cloak, the young couple made him the
innocent and unsuspecting bearer of heir
correspondence. The young lady would
pin a letter inside The lining of the old
mans cloak, during the dinner hour, and
when the father had returned 10 the coun-
ting house and thrown off his cloak, the
young lover would 60 and take out the
lady's epistle, read it, and send the re ply
back IN the same manner. 1t is needless
to say that love and ingenuity were finally
successful.

The United States Congress.

Mr.. Macay, in his recent work on this
country, gives the following excellent de-
scription of our national legislatures:
at is true they are a motley assembly;
but how could they be otherwise when
you consider whence they are drawn!-
There is representative from Maine, his
fresh complexion and hardy frame be-
speaking him from the north, where his
constituents are now clothed in furs; there
again is one, from whose body the hot
suns of Alabama have nearly dissipate
all the juices, except that of tobacco, with
which he is at this moment overfiowing;
behind him sits member from beyond
the Alleghenies-ay, even beyond the
Mississippi, in whose keen eye, wrlnkied
face, and general quickness of movement,
you can read whole stories of adventurous
life in the Far West; while close beside
YOU is the languid Carolinian, accustomed
to have every thing done for him at his
nod. And what pages in the history of
the Union may be read in the varied phys
iognomy of the house! In the assembly
before you, of two hundred men, or there
abouts, you can readily trace the dark
hair and eye, and high cheek bone of the
Celt; the sleek and round contour of the
Saxon; the ponderous outline of the
Dutchman; the phlegmatc temperament
of the German; the olive hue of the Span
lard, and the nimble figure of the Frank.
1t is true reflex of the great mass with
out. er.ttorod far ond wide for thousands
of miles from where you stand. 1t is at
once type of the past and future of
America. In the representatives of the
American people you have an epitome of
the story of their ancestry, and clue TO
their posterIty. In one respect the scene
rises to the dignity of a moral phenome-
non. y You have different races, with all
their diversified habits, predictions, his
tories, creedS and traditions; YOU have the
representatives Of almost every country in
Europe living together, not paralytic life,
but life of constant industry and active
competition, and regulating their political
existence by the machinery of constitu
tiOnal and democratic regime. In one
sense, truly, you have Congress of na-
tons in this Congress of the L. States"

Men often address the speaker on one side
of the house and he turns his eyes to rec
ognize them on the opposite side, mista-

his seat, amid warm debate below, the
whispering of young man in what is call
ed the '.love corner" ofthe ladies' gallery,
who was making proposals to a young
lady in so low tone that her mother seat
ed near her, did not know what was going
on. Said my informant, 81 was attending

American FntfFDriSp.

The news from the Sandwich Islands,
brought by the last arrival from the 18th
mus, is to the Sth November. According
to letter in the Tribune, there were in
the harbor of Lahaina, Sandwich Islands,
about the Sth November, "A American
whaiers, returned from their summer crui.
ses in the North Pacific, nearly all with
full cargoes. So profitable a season never
was known before. The greater portion
of the fleet have not been out from port
more than year. About half of them
had been cruising in the Sea of Okhotsk,
Off the Siberian coast; the remaining and
more fortunate half had been to the new
Artic whaling ground, discovered last
year by the ship Superior of New Bed
ford. Some of the vessels had penetrated
far within the Artic Circle, finding abun-
dance of whales among the ice. They
were frequently locked in by the floating
ice-felds, from which they harpooned
several whales, without the aid Of boats.
The most successful vessel was the
ship William Hamilton, which had on
board 4,200 bbls, 700 of which she took
on the passage out. At the entrance of
Bhering's Straits she fell in with three
dead whales at one time. The remainder
in the Artc Sea. This unexampled sue
cess will give a new impetus to the wha-
ling traffic, especially since the demand
for sperm oil and candles has become so
great in California.
The Polynesian, of the 9th of October,
says:
We are happy to record the fact that
important assistance was rendered 10 the
American whale ship Tigre, Capt Brews-
ter, by III. B. Ms ship Blossom, during
the past season, in the Northern ocean,
The TIgre being shut in by ice, the crew
of the Blossom cut through two miles OF
ice, and came thirty miles to her assistance.
Such acts are calculated to cherish kindly
feelings between the two nations, and TO
cement the band that common language
and common origin should be continually
strengthening.

Conundrum.-I say Glenn said one
darkey to another, 'can you told me why
a niger is nebber dead broker
No, nigger,' said Glenn, Il don't know
and darfore draps the subjec' without a
'spression.'
'WeII, den,' returned the other da~key,
III tell you why a nIgger is never broke
its bekase he's always got a scent about
him.
Eh, eh, honey said Glen. but den you
know its bad scent; so de nIgger's dead
broke after all.

A Uhi$pering GaHery.-Mr. Went
worth of Illinois, writing to his paper
from Washington, in regard to the hall of
the House of Representatives, says:
sit is not generally known that so poor
ly were the principles of acoustics con-
suited i'll the construction of the hall, that
two men may be whispering together SO
low that their next neighbor cannot hear
them, and yet all they say is distinctly
heard on the opposite side of the house.

The Florida Indians We learn

The Worida Indians We learn by a
private letter OF late date, fiom Tampa,
that Capt. Casey gone out to meet the
Indians in council relative TO the roect
of inducing them to leave the peninsula,
and to Join their brethren in the West
Having arrived at the appointed place, he
waited there for some time, but the Sem
inoIes not appearing he left. He had not,
however, proceeded on his way back
more than thirty miles, when he was over
taken by runner, who informed him
that the Indians had arrived at the rem
devious. Captain Casey then returned
to the council ground. and had an inter
view with the chiefs, but he was una bic
10 effect any arrangement with them for
their removal from Florida. 1t was his
opinion that they would not emigrate vii
Ensly- Tho delegation Of Seminole
Chiefs that left Arkansas, and pro ceeded
10 Florida, short time ago, to confer with
their brethren, with the view of inducing
them to join their tribe in the West, had
not yet met them in council. They were
afraid, ii is said, TO meet them alone, on
account cf law having been recently
made by the Semnoles, that whoever
mentioned the subject Of emigration
should be punished with death. Sam
Jones, chief Of the tribe, is the one who
is most strenuous ly opposed to emigra-
tlon.-N. u. Picdyune, Jan. II.

But Mind, the everything,
Rlnffing q Pedlar.

There was a certain tinware pedlar
travelled to dispose of notions to such as
are willing to bargain. He was a perse-
vering trader, and never allowed himself
to be bluffed off with a short answer. One
house in particular he continued 10 visit in
spite of continued rebuffs, and assurances
that nothing was wanted-they never
bought goods in that way. He still made
his calls steadily with each regular round,
until he became regular pest, and in re-
ply to the information that it was useless
to call, he made known his determination
to do so just as often as he pleased. One
bitter cold day, the house bell rang, the
good old lady Fastening from her work to
answer the call of the bell, found the ped
lar at the door.
ANY tinware to-day ma'am?'
Have you any tin kitchens!'
Yes ma'am,' and away he went to
bring samples, chuckling at the idea that
his zeal was to oe successful at last.
The tin kitchens were brought, and tin
pans were next called for.
The pans were brought and other articles
enumerated, to seven different kinds, until
goodly proportion of the pedlar's load
had been transferred to the house.
Anything more you want ma amp
'Oh, no-I don't want any of these; ]
only wanted to see if you had them; l did
not say | wanted them
The pedlar was fairly sold and for a
moment he fell like getting angry-but
the idea rather ticKled him, and he com
menced returning his wares to his cart
without uttering word. He then mount
ed and rode off satisfied. He has never
called at the house since.

Irish Ut.-One of our eminent law
yers, of Irish descent, was engaged some
time since to defend an lrshman who
had been charged with theft. Assuming
the prerogative Of his position, the coun-
sci, in private interview with his client
said to him:
"Now, Patrick, as am to defend you,
| want you to tellme frankly whether you
are guilty or not. Did you steal the
goods!"
Faith, them" says Pat, s'pose |
must tell yez. In truth, Ibid state 'em. -
Then YOU ought..to be ashamed of your
sell to come here and disgrace your coun-
try by stealing" said the honest coun
sci.
I'm truth, Mr. B, may be | ought,
buttheu ifI didn't stale, you wouldn't have
had the honor and credit of gettin' me off,
dye see!"

Guessing at Hard U0rds.-A mis-
sionary, in lo49, stepped ashore from a
tlat-boat on the Kenncbec, with some
tracts, to speak to an old woman who was
knitting undor low tree by a shanty. Il
was during the hei ght of the cholera pan
Ic.
My good woman" said the evangelist,
as he offered her a tract, have you the gos-
pei here!'
''No; sir, we haven't" replied the old
croue, ''but they have got it awfully down
TO Bangor!''

CHAN NGE.

Change! Change, The monrnful story
OF all that's gone before,
The wrecks of perished glory,
Bestrewing every shore;
The shattered tower and palace
That frowned o'er every glen,
In broken language tell US
The feeting power of men.
Change! Change! The scythe is sweeping
Der many cottage hearth,
The sickled hand is reaping
Ger scenes ofhousehold mirih;
The sheafis bound where daughters
Round their mothers used to spin,
And where little feet went patter
Full often out and in.
Change! Change! For all things human
Kingdoms, States of ample wing,
Have their flight and fall in common
With the meanest mortal thing
With Beauty, Love and Passion;
With all of earthly trust
With LIES smallest wavelet trushiug,
Curling breaking into dust!
Where arose in marble grandeur
The walled cities of the past,
The sullen winds now wander
Der the ruined -huddled waste:
Rent is the palace splendd;
The owl, in silence, wings
Ger floors where, aye attended,
Paced the sandaled feet Of Kings.
Still change! Go, then, and view
All de solate and sunk,
The circle of the Druid,
The cloister of the monk.
The abbey, bold and squalld,
With its grass-m aned staggering wall,
Ask by whom these were unhallowed-
Twas Change that did il all.
But Mind, the everything,
From Times succeeding birth,
Will receive some more of Heaven,
VIII receive some less Of Earth
More of Truth and less of Error;
Less OF Hate and more OF Lowell
Till the world below shall mirror
All the Purity above.
