LINES TO KATE.
BY LILY MAY.
. . .
There 'e many an oarneat tale, Kale,
That's told in simple rhyme-,
Bo open thine eyes and ears, Ka'a,
And list while 1 tell mine.
Not that I've anything new, Kate,
T mystify thy brain;
But I'll give some precious hints, Kate,
I need not give again.
One turn of the magic wand, Fat,
Will waken mem'ry's powers;
One glance at the shadowy put.
- Bring thoughts of joyous hours.
Bright hours we've spent together, Kate,
That ne'er can coma again;
Though the joys thut we then tasted
Were mingled oft with pant.
for we learned 'niong many changes,
To nobly bear a part;
And that there were more aches and pnins,
That those of head and heart.
In the future let us strive, Kate,
To battle for the right;
Regardless of the shafts ihusspeJ.
Our kindest hopes to blight.
Though many do false words beguile
To eheol us ot a friund,
.Fear not, lor innocent the while,
We'll conquer in the end.
'Mid the sweetest joys we borrow,
How many ills are borne;
Thus the dmkest night of sorrow,
Ends in'lhe glorious mum.

The Frost Spirit.
BY J. C. WHITTIER.
, lie conies, he comes the Frost Spirit coine!
You tuny trace ills loowttps now,
Uu the naked woods and biau-d fields,
And the brown hill's withered brow,
lie hue smitten tbu leaves of the grey old trees,
Where the pleasant dreum camu lorth,
And the winds that lollotv wherever hegnei,
Have shaken them down to the earth.
He comes, hoc-lilies the Frost Spirit comes!
From the Irozon Labrador;
From the icy bridge oi the northern seas,
Where the while besr wundiT o'er;
Where the lUhuriiiau'sasil iseiiil witlt ice,
And the luckless tonn below,
In the suiilesa cold of thu utiiKuphere
Into the marble statutes grow!
He cows, he corner the Frost Spirit com :s!
And the quibt lakes si i n SI feel
The torpid touch of his glszin bieiil),
And the ring of the skater's h e ;
And the stream which dnuu'd on thebrok'n ro. ka,
lr sang to the lenuini; graes,
Elmtl luw again to thtir winttr chain,
And in niournlul rilcncc pas.
ile conies, he camel tha t'roH spirit comes!
Let us mee. him as we nsjy,
And turn with light of the parlor grate
His evil power awav;
And gather closer the circle round,
When the lire-light dunces high,
And laugh at the shriek ol tho bullied fiend,
As hia sounding wings go hy!
MISCELLANEOUS.
DESTRUCTION OF THE TEA
IN BOSTON.
[From the Sixth Volume Bancrofts' History of
the United States.]
The chapter first details the proceedings
abroad: the despatch by the East India Com-
yany of cargoes; th. political feeling of the
oloaie; and then proceeds a follows as to
the Boston consignees:
"The issue was to be tried at Bo-ton; tt.
tea ahip. were on the wat.r; the governor
.himself, under the name of hi. .on., w.a e -
Jected a one of the consignees; the moment
of the decision waa hastening on. In the
fight, between the first and second of No -
Timber, a knock wa. heard at the door of
each one of the person, commissioned by the
Eat India Company, end a summons .eft for
,hm to appear without fail at Liberty Tree
the lollowing weansuay, at nooo, te re-
sign their commission; prinledj notices were
le polled up, desiring the freemen of Boston
and the neighboring town to meet at the
am time and place a witnesses.

the cry ; hut he dissuaded them from vio

lence.' v
After further details aa to the consignees
and of the committees of correspondence, and
the council, the narrative proceeds:
'The true-hea-ted people were aa fig-Hani
as tl ey were determined. The men of Cam-
bridge assembled on the twenty-aixth, and
after adopting the Philadelphia resolves, re
unanimously,' veted 'that as"" Boston wn
truggling lor the liberties or their country,
they could no longer atand idle spectators,
but were ready on the shortest notice to join
with it and other towna in any meaaure that
might bethought proper to deliver them
selves and posterity from slavery.' The next
day the town of t'haileston assembled and
showed such a spirit that tver after its com
mittee was added to those who assume the
executive direction.
The combination was hardly finished
when on Sunday, tho twenty-eighth day of
November, the ship Da tmouth appeared in
Boston harbor with one hundred ana fourteti
chests of the East India Coinpuny'a tea. To
keep the Sabbath strictly was the New Eng
land usage. But hours wero previous; let
the tea be entered, and i. would be beyond
the power of the consignee to aend it btck
The selectmen held one meeting by day and
another in the evening, but they sought in
vain fur the consignees, who had taken re
fuge in the castle.
The committee of coirespondcnce was
more efficient. Thry met also on Sunday,
and obtained from the Quaker Rotch, who
owned the Dartmouth, a promise not to en- j
ter hia ship till Tuesday, and authorized
Samuel Aduma to invite the committee of
the five surrounding towna, Dorchester, Rnx
bury, Brooklyn, Cambridge and Charlcstown,
with their own townsmen and those of Boa
ton, te hold a maes meeting thenxt morn
ing. Faneuil Hall could not contain the
people that poured in on Monday. The con
course was the largest ever known. Ad
journing to t:ie Old South Meeting House,
Jonathan illioms did not fear to act as
Moderator, nor Samuel Adams, Hancock,
Young, Molineux and Warren to conduct the
business of the meeting. On the motion of
Snmuel Adsms, who entered fully into tho
question, the assembly, co niposed of upwards
five thousand persons, resolved unani

and that ne duty should be paid on it.'
The only way to get rid of it,' said Young,
'is to throw it overboard.' The consignees
asked for time to prepare their answer; and
'outnf great tendernosa' the body postponed
reueivtng it to the n xt morning. Mean
time the owner "nd muster ol tlfe ship were
convened and forced to promise not to land
the tea. A watch was also p'oposed. 'I,'
snid Hancock, 'will be one ef it, rather than
that there shoi'ld be none.' And a prrty of
twenty-five persona under the orders of Ed
wrrd l'ractor as its captain, wns appointed
to guard the tea ship during the night.'
After detailing further proceeding Hnd
Khe arrival' et more '.ea ships, tho narrative
concludes:
On Saturday, the eleventh, Rotch, the
owner of the Dartmouth, is summoned be
fore the Boston committee with Samuel
Adams in the chair; and asked why he has
not kept hie engagement, to take hia veasel
and tea back o London, within twenty days
it? arrival. He pleaded that it was out of
his power. 'The ship muat go, was the an
er; 'the people of Boston and the neigh
boring towna absolutely require and expect
and they bade him ask for a clearance
and pass, with proper witnesses ef hi de
mand, 'Were it mine.' said a leading mer
chant. 'I would certainly send it back.
Hutchinssn acquainted Admiral Mintague
with what was passing; on which the Active
and Kincfisher, though they Had been laid
up for the winter, were sent to guard the
passages out of the harbor. At the same
time order were given by the governor to
fire loud gun. at theca.tle,so that no esiel,
except coaster, might go to .ea without a
ncrmit. Ho had no thought of what waa to
happen; the wealth of Hancock, Phillips,
Rowe, Dennie, and ao many other men of
property, seemed to him a security against
violence, and he flattered himself that he
had increased the perplexities of the cum-
nittee.
The decisive day draws nearer and nearer;

tnal danger waa really at hand, the men of

Innderneaa of a Parent, and became their

'We trust in God,' wrote the men of Lex

require it, we ahall be ready to aacrifice our
estates and everything dear in life, yea, and
life itself, in support of the common cause.

and held themselve for the last appeal.
The morning of Tuesday the 16:h of De
cember, 1773, dawned upon Boston, a day
by far the most momentous in it. annals.
Beware little town; count the cost, and know
well, if yeu dare defy the wrath of Great
Britain, and if 'you love exile and poverty
and death rather than submission. The town
of Portsmouth held it. meeting on that
morning, and with six only protesting, it.
people adopted the principle of Philadelphia
appointed their committee of correspondence,
and resolved to make common cause with
the coloniea. At ten o'clock the people of
Boston with at lenst two thousand men from
the country, assembled in the Old South.
A report wa. made that Rotch had been re
fused a clearance from the collector. 'Then,'
said they to him, 'pn lest immediately n
gainst the custom bouse, and apply to the
governor for his pass, so that your vessel
may this very day proceed on her voyage
for London.
The governor had stolen .way to his coun
try house at Milton. Bidding Rotch make
all haste, the meeting adjourned to three in
the afternoon. At that hour Rotch had not
returned. It wa. incidentally voted, as oth
er town, had already done, to abstain totally
from the use of tea; and every town was
advised te appoint it. committee of inspec
tion, to prevent the detested tea from com
ing within any of them. Then, since the
governor might rcfu.e hi. pas., the momen
tous quellon Veeurred, 'whether it ba tha
tense and determination of this body to a
bide by their former resolution, with rt.pect
to the not suffering toe to be anded.' On
thia question Samuel Adam, and Young ad
drssed the meeting, which waa become far
the most numerous ever held In Boston.em
bracing .even thousand men. There was
among them a patriot of fervid feeling; pas
sionately devoted to th liberty of hi. coun
try; .till young, hi. eye bright, his ch.ek
glowing with hectic fever. The work ot vin
dicating American' freedom must be done
soon, or he will be no party the great achiev
ment. He rises, but it is to restrain, and
being truly brave and truly resolved, he
speaks the language of moderation.
'Shouts ef hosunnas will not terminate
the trials of thia day, nor popular resolves,
harangues, and acclamation, vanquish our
foes. We must be grossly ignorsnt of th.
value of the prize for which we contend, of
the power combined against us, or the invet
erate malice, and insatiable revenge which
actuate our enemies, public and private,
abrvad and in our bosom, if we hope that
we .h. 11 end this controversy without the
sharpest conflicts. Let u. consider the issue,
before we advance to those measures, which,
must bring on the most trjing and terrible
struggle the country ever saw ' Thus spoke
the younger Quincy . 'Now that tho hand m
to the plow,' said others, 'there must be no
looking back, and the whole assembly of
seven thousand voted unanimously that tha
tea should not be landed
It had been dark for more than an hour.
The church which they met was dimly ligh
ted; when at a quarter before alx Rotch ip
peared, and satisfied the people by relating
that the governor had refused hi m a pass,
because hi. .hip waa not properly cleared.
As soon a. he hud finished hi. report, Sam
ue! Adam, roae and gave the word:
Thi. meeting can do nothing more to
save the country.' On the instant a .heat
wa. heard at the parch; the war-whoop re
sounded; a body of men, forty or fifty in
number, disgui.ed a. Indian., passed by the
door; and enceur.ged by Samuel Adam.,
Hancock and other., repaired to Griffin',
wharf, postedguarda te prevent the iutrusion
or spies, took possession of the three tea

dred and forty cheat, of tea, being the whole
qaantity that had been imported, were emp
tied into the bay without the lea.t Injury to
other property. 'All thing, were conducted
with great order, decency, and perfect sub
mission to government.' The people .round,
a. they looked on, were to st'll, that the
noise of breaking open the tea chest, wa.
plainly heard. A delay ef a few hour would
have placed the tea under the protection of
the admiral at the castlo. After the work
was doi.e, the town became a. .till and
calm a. if it had baei holy time. The men
from the country that very night earn

Tom Corwin's Wit.
While thi. capital joker wa. a member er
the General Assembly or the State of Ohio,
he brought in a bill for the abolition of public
punishment, at the wlupping-poat. He made
a apeech thereon, to '.vhich an elderly mem
ber replied somewhat aa follows;
"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman ia net a. old
a. I am, and has never seen so much or the
practical operation or the system of punish
ment which he desires to abolish. When I
lived in Connecticut, if a fellow stole, horse,
or cut up any ether rustics, we used to tie
hirr. right up, and give him a real good thrash
in'; and he alway. cleared right out, and we
never saw ne more of him. It's the best way
of getting rid of rogues that ever was tried,
and without expense to the State."
Corwin rose in reply: ''Mr. Speaker, I have
been often puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to the West;
but the gentleman last tip ha explained it to
my entire satisfaction." The bill passed
without further discussion.

"During the Florida war.'aaid the spea
ker, "I was with tho American rmy. One
day I shouldered my gun and went iu pursuit
of game. In passing through a swamp, I
saw something a few feet ahead of me lying
upon the ground, which had the appearance
of a log, it boing some forty feet in length
and about one Toot in diameter. So positive
was I th.it it was nothing but a log, that I
paid no attention to it; the fact is, I would
huve sworn before a court of justice that it
waa a log, and nothing else. You see, I had
never heard of snakes growing to such hug.
dimensions, and the fact i.-t, I never ahould
have believed It if I hid. Well,' he continu
ed, 'between me and the log as I took it to

me, and springing upon it, lit right on top or

A Hypothetical Case.
Some years sgo, an awkward chap in Wes
tern New York, who obtained his livelihood
by forging in a blacksmith ahop, hired ahorse
one day to carry a Ipad of wrought nails ts
the next town, a fewj mile, distant. While
descending a steep lot II. the smith gave hi.
horse a few extra cus, thinking to occelerate
his speed in a place ahcre graduation second

stumbled, floundered into the ditch, and kick

It is not to be presumed that the Assembly,
or either House of it, has violated the Consti-
tution. When, ther.fote, it appears by the I
journals, that a bill was amended by slriking .
out all after the enacting clause and insert-

follow that an act thai was passed by a

in its const lerotion, the Assembly did net

scribed by the Constitution. There are pro

in their character, the observance of which
by the Assembly is secured by their sense of

in the old way of counterfeiting. When
these photographs ure carefully taken on the
proper bank note paper, they defy detection
either by the unaided eye or by microscopic
inspection.
One of these photographs, from a (110 bill
was deposited by Mr. F., with other bills, in
the Life and Trust Company, and wu. recei
by red without suspicion. He then informed
them that there wu a bad bill among them;
.the money wu. reinfected, and he wttpasi-
jgood. Another trial wa inado by prem-
ing a photographic copy or a bill at the prin
offender banking houses. At the banks of
willjSmead, Collara i Hughes, Gregory i. In
bar gulsbee, and some others, the photograph
wss received, and, after careful inspection,
pronounced a good bill. A still more rigid

of Btotherly Love, "thou canst Uot oat of that

'And wherefore not!' asked the good Qua

into thy pantry and stolen it yea, and he
hath ei'.on it up.'
'Beware, Friend Zephaniah, of bearing
false witness against thy neighbor. Art thou

Yea, verily, I saw it with my eyes, and it

"William H. G. Butler, born in Jefferaon,
county, Indiana, October 8d, 18J5, died at
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 2d, 1855 " On tha
reverse; "A man without fear and without
reproach; of gentle and retiring disposition;
of clear and vigorous mind; an acoampliabed
acholur; a devoted and successful teacher; a
meek and humble Chriatieu." On the north
aide: "He fell by the band of violeno, in the
presonce of his loving pupils a martyr to
hi. fidelity iu the dcbarg of hi duty." On
the ooulh ide: "Tbi raonament is erected
by hi pupil aad a bereaved community, to
show their appreciation ef hi worth, and te
