Pretended AristocracY.

There is great deal of Humbug and
shame faced deceit in the world now a.
days, and we have been not a little anus
ed by the pretensions made to rank and
title by some whose ancestry we're not
unwilling TO own that they earned their
bread by 'Ihe sweat Of their brow"
Those who assume for Themselves a su.
periority Of station over their fellows, are
generally descended from parents who
claimed no pre-eminence for their high
birth or degree By fortune favored, they
have been placed in a position in life TO
command respect for their money, and
believing gold 10 be the title to ari,tocracy,
they assume naughty demeanor, and
say to The less fortunate, Il an holicr than
thou" Strange that those who in their
younger days, were wont to associate with
the offspring of common people, " should
arrogate 10 themselves superiority over
the honest mechanic and laborer-the
very support of our country. The true
nobleman is to be distinguished By his
manners, and not by the amout of bis du.
cats.
"Truo Is, that whilomO tina. good spirit said
That gentle mind by gentle deed is known;
For man by nothing is SO well bcwray'd
As by his manners in which plain is shown
Of what degree aud what race he is grown.
We honor and respect the man who
strives to maintain the dignity of whatever
station he may occupy in life, but there
are SO many whose pride is the basis of
their claim to aristocracy, that We cannot
but smile as they exhibit their weakness
Low birth is no crime, and he who calls
the poor Seamstress Mother" is equal in
all respects-provided be is man-to
him who was nurtured and reared in the
cradle of luxury.

WHO'S an honor to lis title"

TO have the bosom made paradise
By thee, life lighted with thy rainbow smile!
L. Z. L.
Harry Richmond. young man oI
twenty FIVE, and partner, newlysmade, in
an extensive jobbing firm in New York,
found himself one winter evening in a
spacious uptown church. The immense
building was thronged by an audience oi
beauty and fashion, and Of more than or;
dinary intelligence. Countenances that
were languid amid the exciements of fash
ionable life, because the hungry soul
found no food in the husks upon which il
fed in such scenes, here lighted up with
animation and shone with new and lofty
beauty. Young and old, alike. sat en-
traneed by the eloquence of the reverend
orator, as he presented to them theme
of surprising interest, clothed in language
the most appropriate, and uttered in a
voice which perfectly harmonized with
the emotion called forth by his words.
1t was the first of a course of lectures
by DR.. -, and Harry, who had often
listened with the highest pleasure to the
preaching of this celebrated divine, was
among the first 10 secure a seat on the
occasion of his lectures. For Harry, tho
young, and handsome, and wealthy, and
the favorite ofa large circle of fashionable
relatives, was devoted to intellectual pur-
suits, in which he spent nearly the whole
Of his leisure hours.
Welded to books, and votary Of SCI
ence and conscientously scrupulOus in
the fuflment of his business duties, his
time had been &c fully occupied as never
TO leave him leisure for juvenile firta-
lions, or more mature love-affairs. At
twenty five his heart had never acknowl-
edged another mistress than knowledge.
and It was only for her sweet sake that he
made oAe of DR.. IS brilliant audi
vnce on that winter night.
But he Was..pot destined to return to
his home that night so heart-free. The
lecture was but half concluded when a
slight hustle near one Of the entrances at.
tracted Hsrry's attention. he turned
suddenly and inyoluntarily. to see what
occasioned:it. But his e es, which had
hitherto been riveted on the speaker. were
not SO suddenly turned toward him again.
and his attention which had until that
time been undivided, could not be restor-
ed. A sentiment. an emotion had enter
ed bis soul that was to change the whole
current of his existence; a change com
menced then and there, startlingly. sud-

HENRY CLAY.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE,

With voice and main of stern control
He stood among the great aud proud,
And words of fire burst from his soul
Like lightuings from the lempest,clouds;
His high and ceathless themes were crowne
With glory of his genius born,
And gloom and ruin darkly frowned
Where fell his bolts Of wrath and scorn.
But he is gone-the free, the bold
The champion of his country's right;
His burning eye is dim and cold,
And mute his voice Of conscious might,
Oh no! not mute-hs stirring call
Can startle tyrants On their thrones,
And on the hearts of nations fall
More awful than his living tones.
The impulse that his spirit gave
To human thoughts wild, stormy sea,
Will heave and thrill through every war,
0fthat great deep etel nalIy.
And the all circling atmosphere,
With which is blent his breath of fame,
Will sound, with cadence deep and clear,
In storm aud calm, his voice and name.
His words that like bugle blast,
Erst rang along the Grecian shore,
And DER the hoary Andes passed
Will still ring on fOrevermore.
Great Liberty will catch the sounds,
And start to never, brighter life,
And summon from Earth's utmost bound
Her children to the glorious strife,
Unnumbered pilgrims DER the wave,
In the far ages yet to be,
Will come to kneel beside his grave,
And hail him prophet of the free.
'Tis hoIier ground, that lowly bed
In which his mouldering form is laid,
Than fields where Liberty has bled
Beside her broken battle blade.
Who now, in dangers fearful hour,
When all around is wild and dark,
Shall guard with voice and arm of power,
Our fr. edom's conseCrated ark2
With stricken hearts, oh, God, to thee,
Beneath whose feet tie stars are dust,
We bow, and ask that thou wilt be
Through every i'll our stay and trust.

Young Men.

There is no moral object so beautiful

watch him as do star ia heafen; clouds
may be before him, but we know that his
light is behind him, and will beam forth
again; the blaze of others popularity out
shines him, but We know that, though un-
seen, he illumlnates his own true sphere.
He reslsts temptation, not without strpg-
gle, for this is not virtue; but be resists
and conquers; he bears the sarcasm of
the profigste, and it stings him-for that
is trait of virtue-but heals with his owp
pure touch. He heeds not the watch

Has smile Of light
And she sits On sapphire throne,
While the sweetest winds load her
With garands of color,
From the bud of the rose o'erblown.
But the autumn night,
Has piercing sight,
And a step both strong and free
And a voice of wonder,
Like the wrath of thunder,
When he shouts to the stormy sea.
And the winters night,
Is cold and white,
And she singeth n song of pain,
Till the wild bee hummeth,
And the warm spring comcth,
When she dies in rain.

For sorrow then soareth,
And the lover ontpoureth,

P r / D Z
BY JOHN G. xE.

'Tis a curious fact as ever was known,
In human nature, but often shown
Alike in castle and cottage,
That pride, like pigs OF certain breed
Will manage to live and thrive on " feed'
As poor as pauper's pottagc
or all the notable things on earth,
The quecrest one is pride OF BIRTH
Among our fierce democracy!
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save it from sneers--
Not even n couple of rotten Peers
A thing for laughter, filings, and jcers
Is American aristocracy.
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the other end
BY some pcbeian vocation Z!
Or, worse than that, your boosted line
May end in hoop Of stronger twinc,
That plagued some worthy relation
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs
With insolcnt pride of station
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose
At poorer people, in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake Of your minds repos
That all proud flesh, wherever it grows
Is subject to irritation
