THE CRUSADER.
A pilgrim stood at the castle gate,
And wistfully gaz’d, for the hour was late;
lie winded the horn, and the porter came,
And led the palmer to his dame;
The lady was kind, and the wine was bright,
And the pilgrim tarried all the night.
The lady was youthful, her eye was blue,
Her blushing cheek had the rose’s hue,
But the palmer wns silent, old, and grey,
And listened, and looked, but had nought to say,
But he quaffed the wine, till his eve grew bright,
And merry his heart, though hi.s locks were white.
The morning came, and the palmer stood,
With staff and cloak, and ample hood,
To thank, and to bless his hostess gay,
Before he 9trode forth on his weary way,
“My heart,” said he, “is fresh and light,
For, lady, your cheer, like your eye, is bright.”
The lady blushed, and a beauteous smile,
Passed over hrrglowimr check the while.
“Sit pitgi/in, yet tarry another day,
The clouds roll dark o’er the lonesome way,
Your limbs are weary, your locks are white,
Then tarry a day, and another night.”
“Fair lady, if I were a knight and young,
T’were vain to gainsay that melodious tongue;
But 1 may not linger, where beauty and wine,
But mock these hoary locks of mine;
Your board is free, and your goblet bright,
But I dare not tarry another night.”
“For I have been wandering long and far
Where the holy'knights battle in sacred war;
My body is wasted with care and toil,
And longs to rest in its natal soil;
Then, lady, farewell—your path is bright,
But mine is shrouded in sorrow and night.”
“Oh, palmer, stay! if indeed you ccme,
With tidings late from the holy tomb;
For the lord of this castle, and my poor hand,
Has followed the cross to the Holy Land,
And welcome, thrice welcome! shall be the wight,
Who tidings shall bring of my absent Knight.”
“And love you the Knight?” the palmer said,
As listening, he bent his covered head.
“Ah, pilgrim, ask if the sun is trne,
Or the flower refreshed by the morning dew!
When love in this bosom shall cease to burn,
The cypress shall droop o’er my funeral urn!”
The pilgrim threw by his cloak and hood,
And the lord of the castle proudly stood,
On the dearest spot of the whole wide earth,—
In his native hall, by his festive hearth!
“Dear lady! your love, like your eye, is bright,
I will tarry a day, and another night.”

THE TURKEY’S LEG.
’Tis nccossity,
To which the Gods must yield, and I obey,
Till I redeem it by some glorious way.
Beaurront and Fletcher.
A strange title for a pathetic story, Mr. Edi
tor—yet, I assume it fora very good reason; sto
ries hat have odd titles are very apt to be read—
had I headed mine, “Mortified Pride”—perhaps
it would stand a fair chance of passing into ob
livion.
I oivce met with as noble a genius as was ever
moulded out of clay; lie was all heart and soul—
ho i *ved his friends, pitied Ins enemies, and had
a half of his little store always ready fora fellow
creature in distress. Such choice spirits are
rare mmodities now-adays in this world of bus
tle and speculation; when they are met with we
generally find them to possess a counteracting
passion—for where is »he human being that is ah
perfection? Edgar Sinclair (this is as good a
name as any) was of an ancient and honorable
familv; his parents, though possessing but a very
limited fortune, instilled into their son the same
aristocratic principles, they had inherited from
their ancestors. He received a splendid educa
tion, tb ; cvpenses of which almost impoverished
his lather, and when he entered the world he was
obliged to seek a profession whereby he could ob
tain « iihood. He chose the law, as giving
a(fr :o sc pe to his powers of eloquence. A brill
iant intellect will not long remain in obscurity;
the genius and wit of Edgar made him friends,
and his poverty ami excessive priue were swn
« lost in the admiration his associates betrayed for
his high intellectual qualities. He became an
accomplished poet, his songs were sung by ro
mantic little misses with delight—his odes were
recited on public occasions, and his bon mots even
attributed to Dean Swift, Ben. Johnson, Sheri
dan, &o. for no one ever thought of Joe Miller.
j£,(gar with all his strength of mind and no
bleness of nature was weak enough to fail in
love_and with an amiable and lovely girl too?<
wh >o ssessed every recommendation a poet could
wish; i man of the world might say she wanted
one thing—money. The story of their loves
would he nothing uncommon, s > I shall pass that
ove> The affection was mutual, and so the\
go? .-u Tied in the usual way of forming a co
partnership.
K ' r Sinclair was, to use his own expressw .
bora : ler an unlucky star, with an iron sp n
in his mouth. Ho loved his wife dearly, as 1
husbands should do, ho paid dearty for his love,
for she was too lovely a girl to be swabbed a.J
and he to > proud to allow her to appear a jot ,
hiud oth-rs in point of fashion. Things nt
on for ■ while swimmingly, for Edgar had frien
who vo :id help him out of ditticui'ies. Hot i
the ■ rse of time, ho was reducad to a iniu ,
qua itr : i. c. ho owed more man ne nau a pr *
pe •> ring To confess poverty is to all men
a him it was a degradation—his proud
nat ,1 rued it—he sold out all he had—our
what he could, and left the rest to chance, His
wife very wisely accormod a ted her desires to
htr husband’s means, an he loved her ten times
mure for it. Frequenththey had to go without
a tinner for the want if the ready to pay the
butcher and the baker—uch is the fate of genius.
Ihe ready wi' arid himor of Edgar gave him
a passport to the first cycles; for many a purse
proul personage, wfide he loves to mark the
brighest scintillations of genius, little recks the
grief that is cracking the heart-strings of the
hrinfffrpm whoijj they eminate. lie received an
invitaion from aj Southern nabob to dine, which
was, o’ bourse, defepted.—His wife asked him,
as he (reseed himself for the feast with an appe
tite wel Whetted, if he would think of her while
he sat a \he sumptuous table? The hint was
bread enough: Edgar kissed her care worn
cheeks, vh\le a b’iish mantled his own, and told
her he wofid not (prget her.
All things went on smoothly—southerners are
noble hosts, tnVy knov well how to cater for hun
gry guests^ Tn^ tabh was richly ladened with
viands of various kin % Edgar’s jokes gave a
zest to the whole, and, ad it not been for one
malapropos, the compay might have separated
grateful to the host ail delighted with the hu
morist. But there wo mortification in store for
Edgar, and, in fact fothe whole company.
As the champaign vs going its merry rounds,
and as all hearts was ie with glee, the steward
informed the host thatwo of his massv tablej
spoons were missing, id, that the waiters had
all been searched, and vit the articles could not
hr* frmnr) A (jnni\ejckt-. 'lUmCGiaic.!j t'*~i-3
that each one presehc should v*» searched—hut
I the host most posit is^y declined—he had too
j much respect for his fiends—he could not for a
moment suspect any gmleman present. But it
would not do, the co pany insisted on being
searched, and the hostlproceeded reluctantly to
the task. After exaiuping the pockets of sever
'd, he came to Edgar. <n whose visage the white
and red might he smii alternately coming and
going.
“Excuse me, Mr. aaclair—but it is the wish
of tli company.”
,kl—1—1—cannot lb searched, Mr. 13.-—”
retorted Edgar, coloriAg highly,—“my standing
in society slould plane me above suspicion—and
I assure vji, on my honor as a gentleman, I have
not got th< spoons.
A sligll murmur wint round the tabic, and
Mr. B--” seemed ve*y much agitated. “Oh
come, cane Sinclair,” said a gentleman, “ , on
r «ini j w. uld not be singular in tins case—
turn vo/r pockets inside out.”
“VVItui I need your advice sir, I shall ask ii,”
rei>iie<(Edg • r, coloring still more deepl. ,—“I
nannofsu' mit to the search—it is a thing I am
not usld to—though I insure you all, gentlemen,
on my honor, I know n^hing of the spoons.”
All entreaties were travailing, Ed ar would
not a/low his pockets to 1) touched; and he there
fore stood accused of thatheft!—Taking his hat
and cane, and a most bukting over his wounded
prick, though he endeavcired with all his might
not to expose the contestbf feeling raging in his
boston, he w Iked firmly io the door, and bowing
to tiie company retired. When he entered the
s;reet his feelings found fent, and he hurst into
t»*trs—his honor stigmtized—his reputation
riir.ed forever. His wirreceived him with her
usual kindness; but he leedod her not; here
tired to bed and passed anight more of phrenzy
than of repose.
In the morning he recived a note from Mr.
**--—, desiring his irme^iatc attendance, at
bis louse. Thi her Ecgar went, conscious of
his innocence, and prepared to divulge his secret.
“Tell me,” said Mi B-, taking him
kindV by the hand, “tel me sincerely, why you
rclustd to be searched lust evening, when the
com piny proposed u?—I did not believe you
guilty at the time, and my belief has since been
verified—the spoons vere thrown into the yard
bv a areless servant, who shook the cloth with
out ex.mining it. Speak to me with confidence,
I haveever thought you an honorable man.”
Afte several struggles between pride and du
ty, Edgir replied—
“You* disinterested generosity, sir, commands
my admration; and 1 am not ashamed to confess
to you tint 1 have abused your liberality. I am
poor, sir—-miserably poor—at your tabic I sated
myself with luxuries—-I thought of my wife, who
had not hud a dinner for two days. A tempting
,f,g of a turkey lav on the dish, 1 thought it no
harm, you might have given it to your dogs—so

In presenting a prospectus for a political jour
nal to the public, the doctrine which is to char
notarize its course will be expected.
Although the Whig and Intelligencer shall
be open ami decided on all political topics, and
shall fearlessly express its opinions of public
men and public measures, yet it is not designed
as a channel for violent vituperation, nor shall it
he an altar for the sacrifice of private character.
Impressed with the belief that the re-election
of Andrew Jackson will tend much to the soften
ing of existing party asperities, while at the same
time it will promote the general good, the Whig
and Intelligencer will advocate the cause with
liberality and candor.
The adoption bv the General Government of
such policy in regard to the Public Lands ns
>hall furnish to the actual settler a fireside of his
own, upon fair and easy terms, shall tea con
stant object for the editor’s beat ability.
The Whig and Intelligencer will unite its ef
forts with those of the purest patriots and most
enlightened statesmen of our land, in securing
the responsibility of all public agents to the
power whence they derive their political and
official existence; this responsibility is looked up
on by the editor as essential to the perpetuity of
our civil institutions—as indispensible to the pres
ervation of liberty in every clime.
The construction by the general government
of national works of Internal Improvement, so far
as warranted by a proper economy in the pub
lic expenditure, and the imposition of such a Ta
riff upon foreign importations as shall be equal in
its operations upon the different interests in all
parts of our republic; being both, in the opinion
of the editor, within the constitutional competen
cy of the federal government, and calculated to
advance the general welfare of the community,
shall receive the firm and uniform support of this
paper.
qpnr nf ti Intelligencer, located at the*
im *r 1 * government, must possess advan**
i :UZCS- «ur the early diffusion of intelligence on sub
jects of interest to the people of Illinois, greater
than can he expected in situations more remote
from the theatre of action. These advantages
it will be the diligent study of the proprietor to
improve. During the session of the legislature,
ample reports of its proceedings, and authentic
copies of all important documents submitted to
its consideration, or otherwise likely to affect its
course will be given, accompanied by such com
ments as a proper regard to the legitimate duty
ot a political editor may require.
Intelligence and virtue are the inseparable
supports of republican institutions. Any meaa
ures, then, that will aid in the diffusion of these
important blessings, will be cordially co-operated
in, and with sincerity and zeal be advocated and
urged by Ihe Whig and Intelligencer. Believ
ing that the speedy application of the means we
have received from ihe United States will be cal
culated to promote the great cause of Education,
tho justice and expediency of this policy will be
urged with all our ability.
The interests of agriculture, literature, and
the fmo and useful arts shall find in this paper
an assiduous and candid, if not an efficient advo
cate Discoveries and improvements, and all new
productions in any of these departments shall
receive the earliest notice, so far as an impart.a!
attention to the diversified duties of a public jour
nal will permit. 1 J
