Treasure TrQYe.

A few days since. poor but honest al
boIer, named William Shaw, while exam
ining an old uninhab;ted brick building in
APpoquinimink Hundred. near Commercial
Corner, Delaware, thrust his handspike
into the frame of one of the windows and
gave it wrench. when q perfect shower
Of gold coin. Of English stamp. came pour
ing down upon him, to his surprise and
delight. Upon further examination. he
finally succeeded in collecting seven hun
dred andeighly dollars, when his impatience
and easerness 10 herald the good news inn
PEELED him to hasten to a neighbor and
make it know n, who hastened to the spot,
and secured about three hundred dollars
for himself, making in all about one thou
sand dollars. These two kept the secre,
for time but Shaw said he didn', feel as
though he ought 10 keep the gold. and
therefore made il known to one or two
gentlemen in the neishborhood. The ow-
ncr Of The house was informed OF the fact,
whereupon the matter was left TO three re.
ierees 10 determine whether the finder or
the owner Of the building was entitled TO
The treasure. 10 the meantime, the god
is deposited in the Smyrna Rauk.
The Delaware Journal says that the
house was erecied and occupied bv the
Rev. Mr.. Reading. Rector Of ST. AIMS
Church, in the above named district, who
adhered 10 The royal cause during the Rev.
olu,ion, and rendered himself thereby odi-
Gus to the neighbors, slaunch republicans

destroy his life. He died very suddenly,
and it is supposed tha, he secre,ed the
treasure in a moment of fear. One can
no, but be struck by, and commend, the
honorable scruples Of good and honest

From the Boston CuNirator.
The Sword and the Plough.
BIZ 2. BENJAMIN GAGE.

Far back in Times departed years,
Ere earth was drenched in blood and tears,
Two b,olhers, from their fathers hearth,
Went forth 10 toll upon the earh--
Each with stout heart and hardy frame,
And each in search of wealth and fame:
One was the Sword. with naughty brow,
The other was The humble Plough.
The Sword, the fairest Of the twain,
Was restless, cruel. dark and vain,
A daring and ambitious youth,
The foe Of virtue. peace and truth;
ForIh from his fathers hearth he sprang,
While far and wide his praises rang,
Yet Mercy shuJdered as he came,
And fed, alIighteJ. at his name!
Men shIunk in terror from his wrath,
While Cries blazed along his path
kingdoms into the dust he hurled,
And bound in chains wondering world
In every land, in every cline.
He wrcathed his brow with blood and crime
Yet still the liie-devouring Sword
Was praised, exalted aud adoreJ.
As bold. the humble Plough went forth,
But not 10 desoate the earth
To counferaci Gods wondrous plan.
And swell the countless woes Of man;
But With the heart and hand Of toll
To break the deep and fruitful soil,
To scatter wealth on every hand,
And beautiiy and bless the land!
He made the nations thrive in peace,
And sweIIed their stores with rich increase,
Bound the tom heart of " ant and woe,

WHAT WILL BE THE RESULTS
OF THE NORTHERN ABOLl-
TON ACTION.

The disruption OF the existing I'm
ION, 1t may be supposed, will result il
the formation of two confederacleS. o
the South and North, respectively iden
tical, or nearly SO, with the slafehoId
ing or on.sla3ehoding States. /
seems to be generally the opinion o
those who have thought upon the sub
ject, thi.t the certain result OF this sep
aratIon would he war between the two
parts, and that much the greater evil.
produced by such conflicts would faI
upon the South, as the weaker anC
more vulnerable party. This opinion
is the fruit of antiquated ideas, alto
gelher unsuitable to present times anc
circumstances. Hatred of neigh
boring people is indeed sufficient In
dncement for poor and ignorant and
barbarlouS nation TO make war. But
no enlightened nation at this day will
go to war merely to feed. its hatred =
with no prospect OF gain, and absolute
certainty OF enormous expense and
loss in the contest. Such would be
the prospect OF either of these new
co,tederacies which would make wal
on the otnei; and especially disastrous
would be the fortune of whichever
one was the assallant and invader oil
the other. A Federal Republic is the
strongest Of all governments to resist
and repel an invading foe, and gener-
ally the weakest when invading an en-
emy'S country, or carrying on offensive
war; Hence, foolish and seIf-sacrlfi.
c;,,o as woc!!sd! VOID he an offensive war, in.
stigated merely by Ga;;slike or or'sss'fen, ~,
waged by any power, il would he doub
ly injurious in the case of either ol
these future coniederaces.
The Southern Republic would GER
tainly not make war upon the North
ern people because Of their separation,
or upon any other ground that can
now be foIeSeen. No one has imag-
ined that war. can proceed from that
quarter. The South could not hope
to gain anylhing.by All offensive war
on The North, aud therefore so impro-
bablo contingency need d'not be dis.
