Peters, of Pennsylvania:
When General Lafayette ON his last visit

the public might have chance Ia shake hands
with the friend of Washington.
Judge Peters being appointed one Of the Com

was circle formed, on one side of which stood
the General and the Judge; those wishing to be
introduced being obliged to walk across from the
opposite side, and after paying their respects re-

One individual-who, from his manner evil

his excitement he knew nothing Of his loss; but
having gained the front Of the circle, he strobe

The beautiful town of Manchester, Vermont,
so pleasantly situated at the font of Equinox
Mountain, is celebrated for two very fine hotels,
the Vanderbilt and Equinox; also, though of less
pretensions, the Vermont House, kept, at the
time of my story, by George Ste. George was
a character considerably deaf, especially when he
did not want to hear. Rallying him one day on
his ability to hear or not hear, he told me, under
promise of never telling, the following story:
When young man, he worked on q farm for a
stingy old farmer in an adjoining town. On
leaving him, balance of two dollars was due
George for wages. Having called repeatedly for
his money, the old man had some excuse for not
paying. A SOW of the old mans had litter of
pigs, consisting of four; one of them, which is
generally the case, being small runt, as they
call them. George told the old man that he
wOuld take pig for his money; the old man
said he might have the small one. George Jump
ed in the pen, and seized the largest pig. The
old man shouted:
"Take the small one ~
Let him squeal," said George, al can hold
him."
Old man, excited:
"Take the small Oner'
"Pll risk his biting" replied George.
Old man, desperate, and as lOnd he could
below:
-"Take the small one ~
"Let him sgueal, can hold him." answered
George.
take him along, you deaf euss, can't make
yOu hear anything"
George carried of his pig in triumph.

Conclusion Mr. Peperage,s ourth Of In.
ly Grafton.


al shall Close" said the eloquent orator, by
an allusion to the vital greatness and sempitern-
al Importance of the national Union"
1.-The Union ~ preOrated Mr.. p" Inspiring
theme! How shall find words to describe its
mOmentOus magnifcence and its beatific lustre
The lit is the ark of our safety 1.-the
palladium of Onr liberties y the safeguard of
Onr happiness iii!-and the aegis of our vir-
tnes!i!!! In the Union we live and move, and
go ahead. 1t watches over US at our birth-it
ians us ID our eradies-it accompanies us to the
district schoOl-gives us our yictuals in due sea-
son-it selects our wives for us from Americas
fair daughters and it does great many other
things; to say nothing of putting us to sleep
sometimes, and keeping the flies from our innO-
cent Iepose. While the Union lasts we have the
most reasonable prospect of plenty of fodder
with occasional drinks. By its benefcent ener-
g'es, however, should the present supply give
out, we shall rise superior to the calculations of
an ordinary and narrow prudence, and take in
Cuba, Haytl, aud Mexico, and such parts of all
contiguous islands as may offer prospects for an
advantageous investment. Palsied he the arm,
then, and bhstered the tongue and bumped the
Dack, and broken the legs, and eviscerated the
stomach, OF eyey person who dares to think or
even dream of harming it, May the heaviest
curses OF Time fall upon his scoundrelly soul,
May his Juleps curdle in his mouth. May he
smoke none but New Orleans tobacco, May his
family he perpetnally ascending the Mississippi
in steamboat. May his own grandmother dis
own him! And may the suffrsses of his fellow
citizens pursue him like aveuging fnries, till he
is driven, bowling into Congress. For, oh my
dear, dear friends-my beloved fellow citizens
who can foretell the agonies, or the sorrows, or
the blights, and the anguish, and the despair,
and the black eyes, and the hioody noses, that
would follow, upon the dispersion of our too hap
py, happy familyi
The aecursed myrmidons of despotism, with
gnasbiHg teeth and blood-stsined eyes, would
rush at large over this planet. They would lap
the crimson gore Of the most wealthy and respect
able citizens. The sobs of females and the
screams of children would mingle with the bark
ing of dogs and the crash of falling columns. A
universal and hOrrid night would mantle the
skies, and one by one the strong pillars of the
universe go crumbling into ruin, amid the CLEAN
of bOwe-knves and the lurid glare of exploding
steamboats,"

THE srAR-sPANaLEp BANNER
BY FRANCIS 5. XII.

O, saw can you see by the dawn's early light,
what proudly hailed at the twiights last geam-
ingi
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the peril
Gus fight.
Der the ramparts watched calamity stream
ingl
And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that flag still there
o. saw does that star panged banner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the bravel
On the shore dmy through the msts of the deep
Where the naughty host in dread silence reposes,
What that which the breeze Ger the towering steep
As il ftfully blows half c0nceals. half disclosesI
Now it cate hes the CLEAN Of the mornings first BEAM
In full glOfy reelected, now shines on the stream:
lis the star-spangled banner! o, long may il wave
Ger the land Of the free and the home of the brave
And where is that band who vauntingly swore
That the havoc of and the battles confusion,
A home and a country should leave no morei
Their blood has washed ont their foul footsteps pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the of flight the gloom of the grave;
And the tar-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Der the land Of the free and the home of the brave
O, thus be II ever. when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war desOlation
BEST with and peace the land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us
nation!
Then conauer we must when cause it is just,
And this be mOtto-'.In God is our trust :"
And the star spanged banner in triumph shall
Der the land Of the free, and the home of the brave
