The Bow and the Man.

A celebrated artist, in one of his rambles,
met with the most beautiful and interesting
child he had ever seen.
Il will paint the portrait of this child"
he said, and keep ii for my own, for | may
never look on its like again. He painted it
and when trouble came, and evil passion
moved his spirit to rebel, he gazed upon the
boy, and passion fled, and holy thoughts en-
Itranced his soul. He said: if | can find a
being who will answer for perfect contrast
to this child one in whom is concentrated
everything vile and ugly of which can con-
ccive, l will paint his portrait also"
Years passed away, and he saw no person
sufficiently hideous to answer his design
At length, while travelling in distant land,
he went within a prisons wall, and there he
saw, stretched upon the floor of stone, the
object which his fancy had portrayed. A
man whose soul was stained with blood,
with glsring eyes and haggard face, and
with dcmoniac rage, cursng himself, his
fellow beings, and blaspheming Col, lay
chained within that miserable abode, and
waiting for the moment of his execution.
The artist transferred his likeness to the
canvass, and placed topposite to the child's.
How striking! how complete the con.rast!-
The angel boy? the man ticnd
What must have been the feelings of the
artist wien, upon inquiry, he ascertaned
that both the portraits he had made were
Of the same individual being The beau
tiful, the inocent child, had grown into the
hideous, the sinful man

Surely, in that greeting between the poor
man and rich, there was none of that coll
straint which would have been expec-
ted. They met rather as friends and neigh
bors. What could it mean?
Hark! the clock strikes twelye The old
year is gone, a aew, a bright-winged cycle
is about to commence its flight over the
earth
Thomas Wilkins took the hand ofhis wife
within his own, and then drawing from his
bosom paper, he placed in her hand, as
he did so:
"Lizzie. this is your husbands present for
the new year,"
The wife took the paper and she opened
it. She realized its contents at glance,
but she could not read it word for word, for
the streaming tears of wild, frantic JOY
would not let her With a quick nervous
movement she placed the priceless pledge
next her bosom; and then, with low muir
mur, like the gentle whispering of some heav-
en-bound angel, she fell, half fainting into
her husbands arms.
! "Look up. look up, my own dear wife, ="
uttered the redeemed man. Look up and
smile upon your husband; and you, too, my
children, gather about your father-for a
husband; and father henceforth l will ever
be. Look, up, my wife. There-.-now, Lizzie,
feel proud with me, for we stand within
our own house! Yes, this cottage is once
more our own; and nothing but the hand Of
death shall again take US hence. Our good,
kind friend here wllexpain it all; o, Lizzie
Fif there is happiness earth, it shall henceforth
be ours! Let the past be forgotten, and with
this the dawning Of the new year, let us
commence to live in the future"
Gently the husband and wife sank upon
their knees, clasped in each others arms,
and, clinging joyfully to them, knelt their
conscious, happy children. A prayer from
the husbands lips wcndcd its way to the
Throne of Grace; and, with the warm tears
trickling down his aged face, old Captain
Walker responded a heartfelt "Amen." II
Five years have passed since that happy
moment Thomas Wilkins has cleared his
pretty cottage from all incumbrance and a
happier or more respected family does not
exist And Lizzie, that gentle, contiding
wife, as she takes that simple paper from the
drawer, and gazes again and again upon the
magic pledge it bears, weeps tears of joy
anew. We're all the wealth of the Indies
poured out in one glltering, binding pile at
her feet, and all the honors Of the world ad-
ded thereto, she would not, for the whole
countless sum, give in exchange one sing
lie word from that pledge which constituted
her husbands present.

Uiilta to Mothers.

Iryou wish to cultivate a gossiping, med
ding censorious spirit in your children, be
sure when they come home from church, {
visit, or any other place, where you do no
accompany them; 10 ply them with questions
concerning what everybody wore, how ev'
erybody looked, and what erybody said
and did; and if you find anything in thi.
to censure, always do it in their hearing
You may rest assured, if you pursue &
course Of this kind, they will not return tc
you unladen with intelligence; and rather
than it should be uninteresting, they will by
degrees learn to cmbelish in such manner
as shall not fail to call forth remarks ant
expressions OF wonder from you. You viii
by this course, render the spirit of curiosity
which is so early visible in children, an(
which if rightly directed may be made thu
instrument of enriching and ealarging thei
minds--a vehicle of mischief which serv'
only to narrow them.

Increase of Manufactures In
Massachusett a..

The Boston Jo&rnal state, that large es-
tablishment for the manufacture Of linen
fabrics from imported fax is now erecting
at Fall River, Mass, under the direction of
N. B. Borden, Esq. This is the only fac
tory of the kind in the United States An
other carpet factory to be put up forthwith
at Lawrence, and Hcadly Falls an exten-
sive cotton mill will soon be commenced.
AT Somervilc, in the vicinity of Boston, q
factory has been started for the mandatory
! of locomotive boiler tubes. Thcs is called
the American Tube Company, and the prop
jerty is owned by four or five capitalists.
This is strange, very! Why the tariff
men tell US !hat the country is going to ruin.
and that our manufactures are every where
closing up! The truth seems to be very
different affair from what the whig Tariff
tstumpcrs tell Us. But it was always Just so,
and hence whig defeats on issues of facts.

General Jackson's Opinion Of
Franklin Pierce.

While Old Hickory was in the Prcsfden'
tial Chair, in a conversation with the Hon.
| Henry Hubbard, he made the following
characteristic remark of the present nominee
Of the Democracy for the Presidency:
"You have young man gIowing up in
your State, the young Franklin Pierce. that
will be, before he is sixty years OF age, .
man for the Democracy, without the Dema-
gogue."
Perhaps no man who ever lived was bet
ter Judge of men than Gen. Jackson. HIS
quick, clear, and intutive perception seemed
to grasp their characteristics at once, and his
opinion Of any man was always law. How
true, how prophetic was his remark relative
to General Picrce Pierce is not yet fifty
years of age, and he is admitted to be, ever
by opponents, just what Jackson said he
would be" a man for The Democracy, gth-
out tie demGgogue" Seneca AdeertiSer.

A Connecticut Story.

The following is related as fact, having
actually happened some years since in the
State of Connecticut.
A man in rather Indifferent crcumstan-
ces, surrounded by a large fam ly being en-
tirely out of meat, had resourse to the sheep
fold of his neighbor, "a wealthy farmer;)
for rcIief.-f1is neighbor, having large
flock Of sheep, dtd not percieS 70 he had lost
any until one Of the finest of the flock of
sheep, very large and fat one, was mis-.
sing, and counting his sheep he. found he
had lost seveel. Unable to account for
this extraordinary loss, he resolved few
nights afIor to watch. About midnight he
obsvcred an uncommon disturbance among
the sheep, BY the sudden appearance of
man dressed in disguise. Curiosity, as we'll
to observe the conductofthc person as to find
him out induced him to lie still.-In the
flock there wasa ram, with which, it seems,
the man was in the hlbit of conversins, a.
if he hal been the actual owner OF tho
sheep.
"Wcl, Mr. Rum" sail the noc4maag
visitant, 81 have come to buy anohes shaepE

"Yes have sheep to SELL
BY this TINA the owner perceived him TO
be one of his neiyhbors-
"What will you take for that Gsa wcthel?"
says the purchaser.
"FOur dollars" says the ram.
"That is very high price" says the man,
but as you are So gooi to wait upon.mc for
pay, | think | will take him. Well, Mr.. Ram.
continues the honest sheep buyer."let me
see how many sheep | haHe Bought Of
you,"
/ IF I'm not mistaken" saEs Mr.. Ram.
this makes the fifth"
! He then went on to cast 'ul, The amount
ofthe whole; and after grSag. Mr.. Run IL

and bidding him goo night, led the werther
home, while the owner lay laughing at the
novelty olthe scene, as highy gratifl-t as il
he had received ample pay for tlio whole,
/ A few nights afterwards, when he sup
posed his ncighber was near out Of mutton,

der this line he footed up the whole amount
Of the five sheep, exactly as his neighbor hal
| done, as before reIat3d; then he took ther
to his neighbors house, where he tied him
near his door, and thea went home.
When tho ncighbor aros, in the morning.
he was not little surprised to find sheep
y tied at his door; but it is beyond words to
express his astonishmeMt, when he found it

dealing so much in mutton, with his errand
on his forehead, AMI tee amount Of the five
sheep made out, as he had done few
nights before in the person of the rans
Suffice it to say, he obtained the money,
aud after tying it up nicely in the bag. and
tearing the paper from his horns, set the
ram at liberty, which imme lately ran home,
gingling his money, as if proud OF having
accomplished his errand, to the no small
qualification of the owner.

NV Wife and Child.

The following was written while til author
was in active service, as Colonel of the Geor.
gia Regiment, in the Mexican War:
The tattoo beats;-the lights are gone;
The camp around in slumber lies;--
The night with solemn pace moves on;
The shadows thicken o'er the skies:
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And said, uneasy thoughts arise.
think of the, oh! dearest one!
whose love mine early life hath blest;
OF thee and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast
God of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh! guard that little sleeper's rest.
And hover, gently hover near
To her, whose watchful eye is wet
The mother, wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly me
Two streams of love, SO deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirit yet.
Now, as she kncels before thy throne,
Oh! teach her. Ruler of the skies,
That while by Thy behest alone
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wept to The unknown,
Nor hair is lost, nor sparrow dies!
That thou canst stay the ruthless hand
OF dark disease, and soothe its pain
That only by Thy stern command
The battles lost, the soldiers slain
That, from the distant sea or land,
Thou bring'stthe wandcrer home again
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tcarwct check is sadly pressed,
May happier visions beam upon
The frightening currents of her breast
Nor frowning look, nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath Of her rest
Wherever fate those forms may throw,
Loved with a passion almost Wild
BY day, by night-in joy or woe
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled-
From every danger, every foe,
oh! God! protect my wife and chilled

THE WING CANDIDATE FOR THE VICE PREsr-
DESCY.-The Wings have most excellent can
didate for the Vice Presidency. If he have any
one fault it is entire indifference TO misrepre-
sentation or SANDER, before the people, of his
own fair fame. w. A. Graham has repeatedly
shown that he would not turn upon his heel to
notice the most virulent and abusive denuncia-
ton ever hurled against a man. He has for
such a thing only proud and contemptuous de-
iancc Full Of self-reliance and confident in his
own integrity Of purpose, he has always quietly
stood as the unimpressible target Of thousand
arrows Of slanderous attack, and in his own
State. his bitterest revilers have been awed and
rebuked into inaction by the calm dignity and
perfect sef-reliance of the man.
W. A. Graham is the very opposite OF dema-
gogue He has no stomach for cringing ap-
peals. He scorns all whining petitions for po-
pular sympathy. He only asks of the people
that they shall treat him as he merits. He
recognises in them intelligent equals; not mere
instruments TO be worked with, or wind -harps to
be played upon by every passing breeze. If they
cannot appreciate him intelligently, he asks no
thing from their excitement or delusions.
How will such a man-frm, self-relant in
telligent, unpretending, and yet full Of native
dignity and self-respect-be appreciated by the
American people? He has none Of the arts Oh
the demagogue, and must stand or fall oy his
genuine merits-N o. Crescent.
