BE C..yefM ho1c you St3ike.-An amusing ln-
cidant occurred the other day, in fashionable
music store in Albany, which should teach
clerks to be careful in their sports 1t appears
that the clerks IN the store had acquired the
habit Of PLAYING of little tricks upon each 9th
er, and one of the sports was, if one saw the
other stooping down to select music, or for any
other purpose, he would seize a board (gene-
rally of box and spank the STOPPING victim
This practice has gone on for some time, when
one dav one Of the CLERKS who had caught the
board most severely for some past transaction,
and vas living low to catch his Antagonist IN
a position that he might pay him off with IN
terest. entered the store, and at the end OF the
back counter he saw to his great delight, his
fellow clerk, doubled up in beautiful position,
with his head among the lower shelves, and ms
body at full angle. Now, thought ne, IS my
time; Mr.. Jerrv-so he selected good stIt
board, about four feet long, and cautiously ap..
preached him. he gave him blow that sounded
all over the store, and brought him erect at
once. At that moment Jerry appeared IRON
behind stack of books, with his face swol-
len with suppressed laughter, and the gentlemen
who was struck stood in utter amazement, rub
bing himself dexterouslJ. The offending clerk
discovered. to his great astonishment and re-
cret. that he bad struck his worthy pastor, the
/ Rev. DR., who was busy soliciting music,
/ in mistake for his comrade. Of course he was
ready to fall on his knees for forgiveness but the
/ deed was done.

THE HOMES OF THE DEPARTED.
BY WI. LEGGETT.


If yon bright stars which gem the night,
Be each bissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re-unite,
Whom death has torn assunder here
How sweet it were at once to die,
And leave this blighted orb afar
Mix soul with soul to eleaye the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But. oh! how dark, how drear, how long,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If, wandering through each radiant zone,
We failed 10 find the loved OF this!
IF there no more the ties should twinc'
Which deaths cold hand alone can sever
All! then those stars in mockery shine,
More Hateful IS they shine forever
Ii cannot bc--each hope and fear
Tint lights the eye and elouds the brow,
Proclaims there is a happier sphere,
Than this bleak world that holds us now
There IS a voice which sorrow hears.
When heaviest weighs life's CALLING cham,
'Ts Heaven that Whispers, Dry thy tears,
The pure in heart shall meet again.

THE 'LOUDON FREE PRESS"
For 1853.

Having assumed the onerous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the just de
sire TO increase the circulation of our paper,
as it viii not only increase our capabilities of
doing good, but at the same time give US rea-
sonahle remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with a req'iesf
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper viii send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet
We cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring us subscribers have
not been unnoticed by us.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
Press. It's political complexion is uncompro-
misingy WHIG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of snrelenting political warfare has
for a time at least ceased. and those so long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of tie land. We
look to the promotion of the interests OF Agucul-
ture. of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
snent of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse pu5Iic sentiment to the Importance Of
industrial procress--of enriching our fields, Of
beautifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
AS 70 the merits of the Free PREss it IS for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter---containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News,-full and impartial quota
tions Of the Produce Markets Of London, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile. with occasional quotations from other I'm
portant points--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season---also the prices OF Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders a broad and correct basis Of judgement IN
rerard to this important article Of trade In
a word, our paper is for the business men OF
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our Circulation,
and have determined to oeer the FREE Press
at greatly reduced prices to CIubs--mohey 10

Polittcal Equi7i6rium Restored.-The Ma
tional Intellgencer in Introducing to its readers
the letter of Attorney General Gushing on
Massachusetts politics, holds the following Ian
guage:
AS belonging to the political history of the
Zines, we place the subjoined letter IN our col
umns Those of our readers who remember
the reserve which characterized the high func-
tionares of former days may feel some sur
prise at this frequent appearance Of Our Cabi-
net Ministers in the party arena; but they must
recollect that this is the age of progress, and
that is the answer and justification for every
thing strange. The attorney General, however,
is net without apology. He has just found out
that his Democratic brethren of Massachusetts
are in imminent danger Of uniting withthe Free
soilers in the approaching State election, and,
naturally shocked at so gross disregard OF prln-
ciple is irresistibly impelled to protest against
the Huholy alliance, being entirely unconscious
that the self-same union has been heretofore
formed and consumated on divers occaions
What effect the forbidding Of the bans now will
have in preventing the meditated union, time
will show. But one consequence, possibly not
Thought of by the Attorney General, may result
from his letter; and that is, the restoration OF
the Administration as unit, to an equilibrium
between the Gompsaalise and Anti-Slavery par
ties: for while the Secretary Of the Treasury IS
pummelli1g the HarI5 Of New-Tork, the Attor-
ney General is performing the same office tor
the Soffs of Massachusetts! This Is what, IN
nautical phrase, is called keeping an even keel,
and must gofar to restore to its wonted harmony
the GREAT Democratic family. Our only regret
in the matter is that the Attorney General did
not discover, in time to have frustrated II, the
recent coalition of his party in Vermont with
these same pe5tilent Freesoiers. The Cn'o"
should keep him better posted up.

The Cyops--We have heard but little said of
the yield Of the corn crop; but are satisfied it is
very short. Cotton is unprecedently backward
in opening the weed being generally large, the
growth of which mostly occurred after the ter
mination of the drought The weed generally
looked before the FROST to be well filed, but its
yield is problematical. To judge by the re-
cepts at this place, up to this time, the crop
would appear greatly short of average. We
have known as much cotton sold in one week.
at this season of the year, as has been sold this
year since the first of September. The small
receipts are accounted for in part by the back
ward growth of the plant, and easy circumstan-
ces of planters and their confidence IN a gene

pies six newspaper columsn; but it is under
stood the Young American spirit of Mr. Bor-
land did not falter in giving it expression--in
fact, as we are happy to learn from the New
York Tribune, more recent intelligence assures
US that the distinguished author is doing just
as well as could be reasonable expected after
such delivery. The unhappy men whom he
enchained, it is also thOught,were not fatally or
very seriously affected, as the speech, luckily
for them, was in English-not a word of which
they understood.

The average prices realized for products snce tne

THE COUNTESS OF LovELAcE,-This
lady-"sole daughter" of the poet Byron
whose name has been made familiar to her
countrymen through the imprisoned Ian
guage addressed to her by her father, in
some Of his finest poems, expired on Satur-
day after a lingering illIess of more than
twelve months duration, at the town resi-
dence Of her noble husband in Great Cum
berland place. She was born in 1916, and
like her illustrious parent, has died before
completing her S7th year. On the 9Th Ju-
ly, 1883, the poets daughter was united to
Lord King, subsequently Gin 1889 created
Earl OF Lovelace, connexion bv which
the lineage of John Locke was blended with
that of Byron-(ft would almost seem that
the eldest son Of the deceased "Ada" had
inherited something of her fathers way
wardness. The boy, sixteen years of age,
was recently discovered BY the police at
Liverpool on the point of shipping himself
as cabin boy in merchant vessel. The pub
lie was spared the detail Of the circum-
stances.)

CARRIERS ADDRESS
To. the Patrons of the Spectator.

The New Year is here, aud come round again,
With hat in hand making my bow
May the year that now greets you go onward anu
wane,
And leave You all happy as now.
May the blessings of Heaven descend on you all,
May your shadows. friends, never be less,
If YOU only respond to the Carriers call
What he comes for, he leaves you to guess
For WR,GHr is so modest he cannot lntrude,
Vet thinks he can claim what's his due,
And droppinG in, hopes that he does not lntrude-
He knows he's not IN The ecrong per.
The ocos have given no quarters this year
pierce once cave a cent red aud bright-)
That YOU will act like them there's never a fear
So shell out the sinners to WRIGHT.
He carries your papers through sunshine and storm,
Through the wind and the snow and the sleet ;
While you are all snOozing and covered up warm,
Poor WRIGHr is a trOtting your street.
Sweet ladies, we've striven to give you our best,
Nice stories and fashions and news;
We've culled from all quarters each joke and each
Jest,
To help YOU to keep off the "blues."
Just speak to those creatures; your ''lords," who
obey
Each glance of each heavenly eye
They'll never refuse you, tits well known-not
they
But open their purses will fly.
WRieHr wants small sum just to bear the ex-
pense
Ola trip to Salt River next SPRING.
Whittier ''SCoTT leads the column" not now
very dense,
-Four States being all he could bring.
His trip is constructive, like Douglass 81 Cos,
So soon he'll be back at his post,
And press on again, for he's not one OF those
Who give the Wing cause up for lost.
The party Of Madison, Webster and Clay,
Of Crittenden, Fillmore and Scott,
Was never designed to die out in day,
Nor its principles e'er be forgot.
Call US Wings, or what not, we will constantly
strive
To conquer Democracy still;
We have done so ere now-yet the thing still
alive
But Wen do it again--jf, zoe oiH.
My song has now ended-good-bye to you all
hope my good friends like my lay,
And pray, when next New Year give you call
You may treat me as well as to-day.
