Fate of tisc Author Of "GOd Save
The ktug."


The following extract is from q work
by Chas. heade, eatitled The Eight
Commandment
"Henery Carey was man Of genius
He wrote for the theatre with immediate
and lasting success. Next he handled
satire; and Pope took his verses for Swift's
and Swift for Pope's. Lastly, he settled
down to lyrical art; with a rare combina-
ton Of two rare talents, he invented i'm
mortal melodies, and the immortal words
to them. He wrote the words and melo-
dy of the National Anthem. For this he
deserved pension and niche in West
minister Abbey.
"In loose age, he wrote chastely. He
never failed to hit the public. He was
of his age yet immortal. No artist can do
more. But there was no copyright in
songs.
"Mark the consequences of that gap
in tho law. While the theatre and aud
the streets rung with his lines and his
tunes, while fddlers fddled and were
paid, and the songsters sang him and
were richly paid, the genius that set all
those empty music pipes allowing and
million ears listning with rapture, was
heeced to the bone. AL reaped the corn
except the sower, For whyy The SOW
er was an author, an INVENTOR And so
in the midst of success that enriched 9TH
ers and left him bare, in the midst of the
poor unselfish souls attempt to found
Charity for distressed performers, nature
suddenly broke down under the double
agony Of heart full of wrongs and an
empty belly, and the man hanged him
self. ..l
"They found him cold, with skin on
his bones, and a half penny in his pocket.
Think of this when you next hear "God
save the Queen

The first act in the drama which has
terminated in tho surrenderofF Fort Stump
ter, instead Of being defeat, is, when
we come 10 look at its effects, a most
brilliant success. Ithas thrown upon the
Coniederated States the entire response

atoms, and to collect and to place before e.

point OF value in the Gulf--Fort Piokens,

Confederated States upon themselves
We hold the command of the sea, upon
which they cannot even float Alderman
BooLE's scows. Their armies, which they
have collected and armed with such cost,
they may turn against each other, to help
to stifle the little freedom of thought or
expression that may yet exist. They
are harmless against us The little COM
merce that may still seek their ports must
submit to our revenue laws.
All this the Confederates at Montgom-
cry may, in their impotent rage, contem-
plate with the same execraton that the
people of Charleston did the fleet that re-
fused to expose itself to fire. Water is
not their element Water is not their
element. We command the avenue upon
which their existenance depends. They
have commenced the war; We now pro-
pose to give them taste Of our power
without exposing ourselves to their at
tacks. Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS had good
cause for being sick in bed at the reeep-
ton of the news. The magnitude of the
advantage gained at Washington, and the
utter inability Of the Confederate forces
to cope with US in the arena we have
chosen in which to carry on the contest,
accounts for the lowered tone adopted at
Montgomery and the feeble sslvo of secen
guns at their trimph. We are now pre-.
pared for contest in field in which we
hold their lives in our hands, and on which
they cannot harm us to the extent of a
hair We are prepared to follow up such
a contest till they are entirely satisfied.

Your Secret or Your Life.

In G cAaane not for from Paris,
some privae theatricals were recently
represented, at which all the neigh
boring gentry were present. After
the performance, NJ. C, a rich
land owner of the vicinity, was pass

considerable extent when a troop Of
bandits, armed to the teeth, masked,
and in costumes of the times of Louis

Philopena.

We believe this pleasant amusement
for boys and girls, and sometimes to
those of more mature age, originated
in Germany, where it is called viel
liebcheD, which as it is spoken, has
the sound of philiken-which, may
have been the origin of our word, to
which we have given Latin termina-
tion-pena-because it infers penalty
or forfeiture eXacte or won by the taos
or management of the winning party.
With Us, however the thing is man.
aged excessively clumsy, and quite
without skill. A person in company
chances to find double meated al
mond, and hands half the meat to aU-
other, aud says, or rather, should say /:
"Will you eat philopena with me 2"
The other may say, " ] am afraid, T"
and refuse, or may accept one OF the
nuts, and eat it at the same time the
challenging party eats the other. -
Thus they seperate and when they
meet again, the one that can think to
say "philopena :" first to the other
wins the forfeit, AMI has right to
name what it shall generally,
among children, some little present,
suitable to the condition of the parties.
Thus, young lady who wins phil
opena of a gentleman may Immediately
add. II wear CT kids Ifthe parties
meet in the street, the lady may say,
"Oh, yes; ! see you notice my par
asol is getting old. Well, then, I ac
cept" But the gentleman must new
err allude to her want of an article, but
exercise bis judgement as to what
would be acceptable Generally in
our hot haste to win philopena, we
forget philfpena, and become rude in
this land of thrift and hurry. The
things is far better and more pleasant
" managed in Germany, and calls in
to exercise some OF the most useful
faculties Of the mind When a couple
meet after having eaten philopena to-
gether, no advantage is taken OF the
other until one Of them pronounces the
word philopena - sz3as s.

WHAT A LITTLE SAVING WILL Do.
Figures sometimes produce almost
incredible results. Thus, for inst ance,
if q young man, on his twentieth birth
day, will invest 500 in any stock pay
ing ten per cent, annually, and there
after will invest the same amount aud
the accumulation of interest, he viii
be worth when he is thirty years old,
$l,753 when forty years old,$ 800 !;
when fifty years old, $l8, $50; when
sixty yeasr old, $48 100 How sim
pie then is the plan by which youth
of the present day can pass his old
age in comfort and luxury He has
only to regulate his expenses so as to
save 500 from his income. If the
amount saved be large, then the sum
total will be increased III proportion
Only think of it, that $500 saved an
nually and invested in ten per cent
stock, will amount i'll forty years to
$243, 500 $1,000 invested in the same
way, for ten years, will amount to
50, 5S3, 600 il twenty years to
Sc, 1855, 800 f; in thirty years to ST.
384, 628 in forty years to $40, $50, SO8
No wonder then, that the Rothschilds
have amassed such boundless wealth.

sport is to begin. Let Us suppose
that a gentleman calls upon a lady;
she invites him to walk in, but OF the
same time speaks the talismanic word
If he accepts the offer to walk in, he
is lost, unless she removes the ban by
telling him to go away. If she asks
him to ia ;e off his hat, he must reso-
lutely keep it on If to be seated, he
must stand /; or. if at table, she should
hand him any article which he accepts
she wins the forfeit. At the same
time, he is watching to catch her off
her guard-for the first acceptance of
any offer from the other ends the game
Both are constantly exercising their
wits to prevent being caught, ard the
sport often goes on all the evening.
Perhaps the gentleman brings little
present, and says: Knowing that
should lose my philopena, ! have
brought it along--here it u.s."
If she is caught off her guard by
this smooth speech, she loses, for he
Immediately claims forfeit If neither
wins at the first meeting, the sport is
continued. at the second and it may
happen that half dozen parties meet
at the same time, all anxious to win of
their philopena partners-so that the
scene often becomes ludicrously anus
ing. How preferable is this German
play to our own ? And as the sport
derived from philopenai is very innocent
and pretty. we commend it to the
young folks " of America.

The Sailors Consolation.
BY CHARLES DIBDIN.

One night came on hurricane,
The sea was mountains rolling,
When Barney Buntline turned his guild
And said to Billy Bowling:
A strong norwester's BLOWN Bill
Hark don't you hear it roar now
Lord help EN- how pities all
Unhappy folks on shore now
Fool hardy chaps who live in towns,
What danger they are all in,
And now lie quaking in their beds
For fear the roof should fall in.
Poor Creatures, how they envy US,
And wish US. I've notion,
For our good luck, in such storm.
To be upon the ocean.
And as for them who'er out all day,
On business from their houses,
And late at night are coming home,
To cheer their babes and spouses
While you and I, Bill on the deck,
Are comic tably lying,
My what tiles and chimney tops
About their heads are flying.
And very often have we heard
How men are killed and undone.
By overturni of carrsages.
By thieves and fires in London.
We know what risks all landsmen run
From noblemen to tailors.
Then Bill let us thank Providence
That you and are sailors.
