parent wished that such pleasure might be his. None, save the father and the gentle youth knew of the stain that once plotted the sailors name. and in their bo- soms all the erring past was forgotten, and forgiven--for upon the altar of his country's liberty he had offered an at onement for his crime, and had thrown of all shackles except those of love and liberty and honor.

POETRY.

l [The circumstances which induced
 the writing of the following most touch ing and thrilling lines are as follows
 A young lady of New York was in tho
 habit of writing for a Philadelphi;
 paper on the subject of Temperance
 Her writing was so full of pathos, anc
 evinced such deep emotion of soul
 that she was accused by friend o
 being maniac on the subject of tenn
 perance, whereupon she wrote the
 following lines F. .. l Go feel what ! have felt, -.-...... l Go bear what have borne ] Sink meath a blow a father dealt, And ihe-cod worlds proud scorn;
 Then suffer on from year to year
 The sole relief the scorching tear.
 Go lneel as l have kneh, lmplore, beseech and pray Strive the besotied heart to melt, The downward course to stay;
 Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
 Your prayers burIesqued, your tears defied Go weep as have wept -. Ger loved fathers fa-- See every promised blessing swcpt- Youths sweetness turned io gal Llfe's fading flowers sirewed al the way,
 That brought me upro woman's day. Go see what I have seen, Go see the strong man bowed-- With gnashing teeth, lips bathcd in blood. And cold aud livid brow; Go catch his whitening glance, and see There mirrorcd his souls misery. Go 10 thy mother's side, And her crushed bosom cheer;
 Thine own deep anguish hide; .. Wipe from her cheek lhe bitter tear; Mark her worn frame and wilhered brow, The gray that slreaks her dark hair now, With fading frame and trembling limb And trace the ruin back 10 him Whose pligh,ed faith in early youth
 Promised eternal love and ruth, ... But who, forsworn, hath yielded up
 The promise 10 the cursed cup;
 And led her down through love and ligEt, And all that made her promise bright; And chained her there, 'mid want and strife, That lowly thing, drunkard's wife '; And stamped on chlldhood's brow so mild, That whitening blight, the drunkard's child. Go hear and feel, and see and know, All lha, nag soul hath felt and known;
 Then look upon the wine cups glow;
 See if it's beauty can atone--
 Think if it's flavor you will try,
 When all proclaim 'lis drink ard die Tell me 1 hate the bowl! | Hate is a feeble word; ".5. P halhe-- abhor--my very soul
 With strong disgust is srirred--
 Whene'er l see, or hear, or tell Of tue dark beverage of hell!

IAN ARMY WITH BANNERS. As you are whirled along over the Hudson Riv- CT Railrosd at the rate of forty miles an hour. you catch glimpse, every minute or two. of a man waving something like white pocket> handkerchief on the end of stick, with g satisfactory sort of ex- pression of countenance. If you take the trouble to count, you will find that it happens some two hundred times be tween East Albany and Thirty First St. It looks like rather a useless ceremony, at first glance. but it is 8 pretty impor. tant one nevertheless.
 There are 225 of these "fag men" stationed at intervals along the whole length of the line. Just before train is to pass, each one walks over his beat and looks lo see that every track and lie. every tunnel, switch. rail. clamp and riy- ct, is in good order and free from ob. struction. If so, he takes his stand with a white flag and waves it 10 the approach> ing train as signal to come on'--and come on it does, at full speed. If there is anything wrong, be waves red flag, or at night red lamp. and the engineer on seeing it. promptly shuts off the steam and sounds the whistle to put down the breaks.' Every inch of the road is care fully examined after the passage of each train. Austrian espionage is hardly more strict. Wi:h such an effective DO, lice. accidents from Instructions upon the tack become almost impossible, unless there is gross negligence on the part of the watchmen.- Albany Evs. Journal.

The whigs are making great noise about
President Pierce's "Freesoil appointments, APP
parently with much honesty aud concern for the
interest and welfare Of the country. When they
were sustaining Scott and Seward last fall. they
had but little care about the elevation of Free
soilers to Office. This false cry and inconsistent
pretended concern is plainly seen, and some OF
them have the honesty to acknowledge 1T. The
Hon. Walker Brooke, il: letter TO Mr.. Aldridge,
a few days since. having been Intercepted as TO
his approval or disappToyal Of the appointments
of the President, makes the following scathing
remarks: in reference to lis appointments, |
might, perhaps, have right to complain but /
insist that the schigs scho supported Scott hare
shadowed forth in his very remarkable letter of
acceptance. So far as FreesoiI appointments
are concerned, belisre naotterS lcould hare been
Infinitely worse had Scott been successful" This
is the language of man who, we believe, sup.
ported neither of the candidates for President !:
he would not support Scott on account OF his
ireesoilism and we believe he did Eot support
Pierce-because he is whig.
Some one may say that Mr.. Brooke wrote that
Tor the sole purpose of justifying his course in
the late presidential canvass but that was eh-
irely unnecessary for the result Of that election
was the best acauitral that he could have posi-
bly, had Out of all the whig States, only FOUR
went for Scotland those he got "by the mere
skin of his teeth" notwithstanding the fac
that aboIitionism so completely surrounded the
Scott Seward ticket, that Northern wings woulC
not support it, the wings of the South who now
make so much fuss about .'freesoil appoint ments'
were wafm.-aye, enthusiastic In its support
Let the sober mind reflect uron this Tor one mo
ment and it cannot fail 10 see in it that sam'
beautiful Inconsistency, so Characteristic of tn
''no principle party. When whig has The as
surance to charge the administration with abo
litionism, let him ask himself if he supported
Scott? If he cannot answer, no! the remorse o
guilty conscience ought to choke the word
upon, and seal his tongue to the roof of hi
mouth.

Cotton.

The following letter in the Concortlia Intelli
gencer, will prove Of interest to the cotton plan
tiers:
l send you the following, my plan for preven
ting the caterpillar in the cotton field, which
you may publish. if you think proper, for the
benefit of the planting community. My doc
trine is, cure no psy.
The whole existing creation is inclined TO seek
for light and white colors when In the dark even
man cannot help admiring white objects. The
butterfly is particularly fond Of them; they go
where they please, having the advantage of
wings, possessing very little instinct, and hav-
ing no incumbrance to reach the spot they seek.
They will not only go to white objects. but will
remain there, be well contented, lay their eggs,
about fifteen hundred each, and hatch there.
For the purpose, therefore, of gathering their
eggs, will place three or four clean white linen
or cotton flags.sof about yard square, for each
acre of cotton, standing about from two to four
feet above the cotton. They will hatch on the
flag. but there being no food for them on it, and
not being able to go in pursuit Of any, combined
with their inability to stand the heat of the sun,
they cannot live. The flag should be set in the
field short time before the coming of the but
teray; but they must be clean, as all love neat
ness and purity.
To draw them from further distance, would
put up flags six feet square, standing from four
to six feet above the cotton. cut hole through
the centre large enough to place lantern show
ing light on both sides. But experience has
proved to me that light is Of no great necessity,
notwithstanding have so instructed the Patent
Office.
Both the above plans answer very well. am
fully convinced of the benefit to be derived from
them. and wish planters to be satisfied before ]
claim one cent. For further inquiries, direct
to J. B. MAILLETT.

oE MARX HURDLEsToNE, by Mas. MooDrE,
author of g Roughing in the Bush." The first
work of Mis-. Noodle, which was delneation
Of pioneer life in Cauada, contained so much
vigorous originality and graphic power of de-
scrption, that il created sensation in the liter
ary world scarcely inferior to g Jane Eyre" 1t
chad an immense run, and every body has since
been on the tip-toe of expectation for the next
work that should appear from her pen. Mark
Hurdlestone' has not disappointed the expecta-
tions raised BY "Roughing it in the Bush
= Mark Hurdlestone" is far more dramatic than
its predecessor, and the plot of regularly de-
veloped romance adds infinitely to the interest
of the book to mere novel readers.
We can inform our young readers that " Mark
Hurdlestone' isa most thrilling love story, and
would advise them not to commence the reading
OF it at night, lest they should find themselves
surprised by the arrival of next day, without
their having slept.
We are indebted to the publisher, Messrs De
Witt & Davenport, New York, for copy of this
romance of 359 pages-price fifty cents
