_POETRY. From the Illinois Monthly Magazine. 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.” IIZSSBr^AITBOrS. _ From the Baltimore Minerva. 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-.

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.

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.
