THE PEN AND THE PRESS.
BY JOHN cRlTCHLEY PRINCE.

Young Genius walked ont by the mountains and
streams.
Entranced by the power of his own pleasant
dreams,
Till the silent, the hayward, the wandering
thing,
Found plume that had fallen from passing
birds wing;
Exultinc and proud, like boy at his play,
lie bore the fair prize to his dwelling away;
He gazed for while on its beauties, and then
He cut it, and shaped it, and called 1t a ZEN
Bat its magical use he discovered not yet,
Till he dipped its bright lips in founta OF Jet;
And, oh what glorious thing it became
For it smoke T. the world in language OF hamei
While its master wrote on, like being inspired,
Till the hearts OF the millions were melted or
fired;
1t came as boon and blessing to men
The peaceful, the pure, the victorious Pen.
Young Genius went forth on his ramb!es once
more,
The vast, sunless carerns Of earth TO explore;
He searched the rude rock, and with rapture ne
found
4 substance unknown, which he brought from
the ground:
lie fused II with Hrer anu rejoiccu At INC cHahSe'
As he nodded the ore into characters strange,
Till his thoughts and his efforts were crowned
with success;
For an engine uprose and he called it the Press.
The Pen and the Press blest alliance combined
To soften the heart, and cnlighteu the mind:
For that to the treasures Of knowledge gave
birth,
And this sent them forth to the ends Of the earth
Their battles for truth were triumphant indeed,
And the rod Of the tyraut was snapped like a
reed;
They were made to exalt u.s. to teach lis, to bless
Those invucible brothers the Pen aud the
Press.

A Great Man.

The author of the "Nazarene"
thus speaks of President Jackson
"He was man! Well | remember
the day I waited upon him! He sat
there in his arm chair-1 can see
him now. We told him of the pub
lie distress-the manufacturers ruin
ed-the eagles shrouded in Grape,
which were carried at the head of
10000 ntoindependenceSqua
He heard us all. We begged him
to uphold the great bank ofPhiladel-
phia. Still he did not say a word.
At last one of our members, more
fiery than the rest, intimated that if
the bank was crushed rebellion
might follow. Then the old man arose
i can see him yet
Come" he shouted, in voice Of
thunder, as his clenched hand was
raised high above his white hair,
come with bayonets 10 your hands
instead of your petitions-surround
the White House with your legions
i am ready for you! With the peo-
pie at my back, whom your gold can
neither awe nor buy, l will swing
you on gibbet as high as Haman' s."
"When I think" says the author,
"of that one man standing there at
Washington, battling against all the
powers of bank and panic combined,
betrayed by those in whom he trusted
-assailed by all that the snake OF
malice could hiss or the fiend of false
hood howl-when | think of that one
man placing his back against the
rock, and folding his arms for the
blow, while he uttured his vow:-l
will not swcrve one inch FROM the
course I have taken, Il must confess
that the records of Rome-nay, the
proudest days Of Cromwell or Nap
oleon-cannot furnish an instance OF
a will like that Of Andrew Jackson,
when be placed life and soul and fame
on the hazard of a die for the people s
welfare"

THE CoNscR1pTIoN.-1t is nota Bile
fact that all the Abolitionists who
are loudest in their laudations of the
CONSUMPTION act are either over age
or have got money enough to pur-
chase exemption: These are the pat
riots who are getting up Union
Leagues to crush the Constitution,
prevent reunion on the old basis,
and establish a despotism on the
ruins of our republican institutions.
Letthem be marked and remembered.

that the same DR.. Franklin also SAID

AneCdOte of Webster.

When the validity of Oliver Smith S
will was tested at Northampton, a
few years ago, Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate were employed on op-
poste sides. After the examination
of witnesses was through, which oc-
cupied about two days, Webster re-
tired to his lodging, giving a special
charge that he should not be disturb
ed. While shut up in his room,
gentleman from distant State came,
wishing to consult him, and insisted
that he might see him,if it were no
more than five minutes. The hotel
keeper, regarding this as case of
exception, gained admission to the
room of his guest and made known
to him the gentleman demands.
Let him mi! was the stern reply.
An interview was had, and the stran-
ger withdrew. The keeper Of the
house was then recalled, and once
more received his orders. i must not
be disturbed, said Mr.. Webster. IT
my sons come don't let them in. If
my aoye comes let her in; but no body
else
Those who enjoyed the pleasure of
listening to the argument OF Mr..
Webster on the succeeding day--so
clear, logical and convincing had
on cause to suspect that Mr.. Webster
came to disturb him.
The keeper Of the hotel represents
that when he intruded upon Mr.. Web
ster on that occasion, he found hi m
in posture of profound thought, the
very picture of abstraction, -Green-
