A PIECE FOR THE PocKEr:-Among the
victims of the Henry Clay disaster, was
Stephen Allen, ESQ., an aged man of the
purest character, formerly Mayor of New
York, beloved and esteemed by all who knew
him. In his pocket-book was found prin-
ted slip, apparently cut FROM newspaper, of
which the following is copy
keep good company or none. Never be
idle. If your hands cannot be usefuly en-
ployed, attend to the cultivation of your
mind. Always speak the truth. Make few
promises. Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets, if you have any.
When you speak to person, look him in the
face. Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews Of virtue. Good charac-
ter is above all things else. Your charac-
ter cannot be essentially injured except by
your own acts. If any one speaks evil Of
you, let your life be so that none will believe
him. Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live, [misfortunes excepted, within
your income. When you retire to bed, think
over what you have been doing during the
day. Make no haste to be rich, if YOU
would prosper Small and steady gains
gives competency with tranquility Of mind.
Never play at any game of chance. Avoid
temptation, though fear you may not with
stand it. Earn money before you spend it
Never run into debt unless you see a way to
get out again. Never borrow if you can
possibly avoid it. Do not marry until YOU
are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you are
generous. Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Save when you are young
to spend when you are old. Read over the
above maxims at least once a week."

MONTPELIER. Aug. 22d, 1857.
To the Editor Of the G. NJ. Freeman:
DEAR SIR During "a short visit which |
have been making to my native town, have
been considerably surprised to hear that my
name has figured rather conspicuously 10
your paper at no very distant date; and that
had only the side Of my calumnators been
given, it would have appeared in very un-
enviabe light.
For many months previous to my present
visit, had not seen number of the Free
man, and was therefore entirely unaware Of
anything it might have contained.
mention this that my friends, and
trust number many among the readers of
the Freeman, may be assured my silence was
not induced by any feeling of guilt Or cow
ardice, while strangers were attacking my
name, and tito thereto. I aude to "A
Tempest in Teapot" which was published
on the 10Th OF March.
On consulting file of papers, Was en-.
abcd to find the article in question, which
have just perused with mingled feelings of
indignation toward my blinded accusers, and
gratitude to yourself for repeIing their every
attack, ln the name Of truth aud Justice.
Those who have known me best are. I be.
licve, well aware | never sought publicity !;
much less will they believe ever came be-
fore the public with borrowed plumage, Or a
stolen name; they know my long standing
title to the same but there are others, not
personal friends, who may think differently
and it is not pleasant to have suspicion of
this kind exlst, even among strangers.
do not wonder that the lady who sports
a name so similar to that of my adoption in
years goue by, was indignant if she really
believed what she wrote but even that be.
lief would hardly justify such broad accuse.

would gladly go to, and "reprove. without

might readily have done, if her kind inform
AMI had been half as ready to consult di
rectory as to inquire the standing of au old

would have boon an immediate understand

You have vindicated my cause this time

Neoessity of Occur ,tion.

1t is an imperative law of Nature, that in
order for any one to be happy, they must
have some occupation. The mind is so con-
stituted that it requires some object on which
its power may be exercised, and without
which it preys upon itself and becomes miser-
able. A person accustomed to a life OF
study, longs for ease and retirement; and
when he has accomplished this purpose, he
finds himself wretched. We are acquainted
with individuals whose early lives were passed
in active business pursuits, and who, at the
age of forty, having acquired a competence.
have retired from business with the intention
Of passing the remainder Of their days in
leisure. For awhile everything seemed
pleasant, and they hattered themselves that
they could now enjoy life and be happy.
But they had deceived themselves; their
minds soon became restless and there was
vast amount of time which they could not
occupy, and they have said that their hap
piest days were passed in business.
The pleasure Of relaxation can be known
only to those who have regular and interest
Ing occupation, and on this account contin-
ued relaxation becomes a WEAKNESS, and the
mind becomes weary of being inactive, and
on this ground we maintain that the greatest
degree of neal happiness and enjoyment is
not realized by the luxurious men of wealth.
nor by the listess votary of fashion, but by
the middle classes of society who along with
the comforts of life have constant occupation,
which in itself proves one of their many
sources of happiness.
From these facss we draw the following
conclusion: That in order to be happy the
mind must have some employment, but we
would observe that it is not necessary forany
person to make their occupation the sole end
OF their existence, and pursue it with such
energy as to shorten their lives, but we be-
leve that occupation, with proper seasons
for relaxation is conducive to and actually
necessary for the happiness and welfare Of
every human being and without it no one
can enjoy life.

How TO JUDGE Of cmARAoTER.-It has
been shrewdly remarked that what persons
are by starts, they are by nature. You see
them, at such times, off their guard. Hab-
it may restrain vice, and virtue may be OBJ
scured by passion; but intervals best discov-
er the man. We fancy this is strictly true.

GEN1Us.-A contemporary, in dilating on
genius, thus sagelyremarks the talents gran
ted to single individual do not benefit him

house, meant to give light from afar; the
man who bears it is but the rock upon which

The Stormy Night;
OR
TURN TO THE MORROW.
By JOSIAH q. BENNETT.


Alone | sat-partly dreaming
When heard the fierce winds scanning,
And the rain in torrents streaming
From the vaulted clouds above;
Soon heard the thunders mutter,
They such doleful words did utter,
That it made my wild heart futter,
Flutter like captured dove.
Up | started, hardly daring,
For the lightnings they were glaring,
And grim darkness madly staring
In my pale and quiv'ring face;
Not the slightest form or feature
OF single living creature,
And it seem'd TIL Almighty Teacher
Had proved traitor to his race.
My existence was cursing,
Moody fancies was nursing,
And old adages rehearsing,
While the storm-king howl'd and roar'd,
Till my mind accorded nicely,
With the storm that ragged so vicely,-
oh! such horror was precisely
What never knew before!
Sank I, on a couch to rest me,
And of morbid tho'ts. divest me,
Which had painfully DISTRESSED me-
When, in short, the dream-god blessed me,
TO mis- sleeping heart he pressed me,
And SO fondly he caress'd me
That he banished all my fright
And knew no more that night.
When l woke the sun was shining,
In where had been reclining,
And the sweet and mellow Ginning
OF gay birds rang thro' the air.
with delight the world seem'd dancing,
Light and free my heart was prancing,--
Not breath of gloom enha neing
Ne, but all again was fair.
Now when thunder-storms of sorrow
Wreck thy soul, turn to the morrow
And sweet consolation borrow,
For a solace sure is there
Only wait, the morrow'll bring it,
Nature all around will ring it,
Yea, the merry birds will sing 1t
As they frolic in the air.
Dark clouds may hang around to-day
The wailing breeze may seem to say:
"Glief is your lot while here you stay
And perhaps forever more; !"
-but, blacklist clouds will in day,
Dispense, YOU know, and break away,
And then will come as bright a day
As ever dawn'd before.

Conduct our steps to that divine abode,
