DY WM. MINES LVTLE,
From golden miorm to dewy ave,
When the sky gleams bright and red,
With many a strong and sturdy stroke,
1 labor for my broad.
No sickly fits or ille | dread,
My chest is deep and broad,
And though I work the livelong day,
I rise and thank my God.
No lily hue is on my brow,
No rings on my hard hand,
I wield the axe, I drive the l'olml(h,
Or when war shrouds the land,
I scize my father's well-tried blade,
And that for freedom’s sod
It 1s my glovions right to blood,
I niso and thank my God,
And when my daily task is o'er,
And the sun is sinking low,
As famnt with work and honest toil,
To my humhle roof 1 go;
I see the perfumed city beau
With his ebony walking rod,
And that P'm not a thing like him,
I rise and thank my God.
The widow’s prayer upon my ear
Unbeedeod never feli—
I neer hehield the orplian’s tear,
But my own heart’s fount would swoll
I never heaven for gold would sell,
Nor for wealth would stoop to fraud,
A poor, but yet an honest man,
rriue and thank my God.
And when the good sun floods with light,
This land of liberty,
And spreads around wy happy sight,
As in prayer I bend myv knee—
That | am strong, and bold and free,
In the land my fathers trod,
With quivering lips, with outstretched arms,
1 rise and thank my God !
Miscellancous.
AN AFFAIR OFHONOR.
Perhaps some of my readers inay have heard
of the story of the duel between old Capt. Liov
ett of New Bedford, and the English officer in
Demerara. It has been variously related—
but the only true version is as follows :
Capt. Zacharish Loveut, after Laving per
formed several whaling voyages to the Pacifie
found himself in command of a small brig be
longing to New York on a voyage to Deme
rara. He wasaworthy man—and agood spec
imen of a Yankee sailor—his heart was of the
milk of human kindness, but he possessed a
noble spirit=—and would neither give nor take
&0 msult.
While the litlle brig Cinderella lay at an
chor in Demerara River, Capt. Lovett oneaf
ternoon entered a Coffee House where he met
with a friend=—and they amused themselves
by kpocking the balls abeot in the billiard
room. Soon after and before the gaine was
half finisshed —some English military officers
cotered, oue of whom, Capt. Lovett, who was
arrayed in avery plain, not to say extraordin
ary costume, acd with a bullyiag wir demand
ed the table, as bimself and brother officers
wished to play a match.
Capt. Lovett gave the red coated gentle
man a stern look, but replied with courtesy,
that he and his friend had engaged the table,
and would play out their game, after which,
if the geantlemen wished to play, it was at their
service.
‘But we can’t wait,’ said Capt. Bigbee, in
an insolent tone.
*You must wait," coolly replied Capt. Love
ett.
‘But we shall do no such thing,’ exclaimed
the surly Briton—"we came here to play bil
liards, and have no idea of being disappointed
by a couple of feilows who hardiy know a mace
from a cue, or a ball from a pocket. It will
take you all the afternoon to finish the game
—so clearout
Capt. Lovett, and his friend played on.
*Come,’ coutinued theoflicer, enough of
this—marker, place theballs. Saying which,
with a most impudent air, he seized one of
the balls which Capt. Lovett's opponent had
just driven into the pocket, and caught up a
nother gne which was near him.
The matter was growing serious. Capt.
Lovett's eye flashed [ire=for although he had
mingled 2 good deal among quakers, and re
spected that moral aud religious sect (or their
humility and quiet demeanor, he was no uon
resistant man himself, He dropped his cue,
and doubled up a fist of portentous size.—
*Put those ballsupon thetable you scoundrel,
exclaimed he, imperatively, ‘and leave the
room.'
*Who do you callscoundrel, you Yankee
blackguard?y Do you know you are talkiong
to one of his majesty's ofticers? Take that
for your impertinence,’ at the same time suit
ing the action to the word, and giving Capt.
Lovett a smart rap across the shoulder with
his cue. Butin aninstanthe received a blow
on his forehead, exactly where Phrenologists
locate the organ of eventuality—which would
have felled an ox, and submissively acknowl
edged the favor by measuring his length vp
on the floor!
His brother officers, who where with him,
had the good sense to see that Bigbee was to
blame—and although they looked rather black
at the Yankees they wisely forbore to molest
them further—but assistad the stunned bully
to another room, where, by the help of some
restoratives, be soon recovered his senscs.—
His rage and mortification at the resultof the
rencountre, knew no bounds, and with many
a bitter oath he declared he would have satis
faction.
Before Capt. Lovett left the coffee house,
a billet was handed him by Lieutenant James
which proved to be a challenge from Capt.
Bigbee, in which it insisted, that arrangements
should be made for an early meeting, that he
might have an opportunity to wash off the af
front he had received, in Capt. Loovett's heart's
blood.
Capt. Lovett smiled when he saw such
mauifestations of Christianspirit. *Lell Capt
Bigbee,’ said he, ‘that I will not baulk humn.
He shall have the opportunity he so earuest
ly seeks. Although not afighting man, lam
familiar with the duel laws—and il he will be
to-morrow morning on the baok of the green
Canal, near the South Quay, rather a seclud
ed spot,heshall have satisfaction to his heart's
content.
Lieut. James bowed politely, and withdrew,
Capt. Lovett went on board the Ciuderella
soon after—and ordered his mate, Mr. Star
buck, also a veteran whale hunter, to select
the two best harpoons, have them uicely
ground, and fitted—as an opportunity might
offer on the morrow, of striking a porpoise.—
Mr. Starbuck obeyed his superior officer with
alacrity, although he wondered oot a little
why Capt. Lovett expected to find porpoises
in {)emorara river.
The wext morning, as soon as all haods
were called Capt. Lovett ordered the boat to
be manned, and requested Mr. Starbuck to
take two harpoons, to each of which some
eight or ten fathoms of ratling stufl’ were at
tached, and accompany lim on shore. In a
few moments the boat reached the South
Quay, where Capt. Lovett was met by sever
al of his countrymen, who had been attracted
to the spot by the rumor of the duel, as well
as several merchants aud other iahabitants of
the place. They oue and all remonstrated
with Captain Lovett for his folly in consent
ing to fight with the English military bully,
who was represented as a practised dueligt—
an expert swordsmaun, and an unrivalled marks
mao, with a pistol, being sure of his man at
twelve paces. Capt. Lovett, however, did uot
show the least inclination to back out—but on
the contrary, seemed more eager for the en
gogement. ‘L'il give that quarrelsomo fellow
# lesson,’ said he, ‘which will be of service to
bim=and which he will never forget as long
o 8 his name is Bighee.'
The challeoger, with lLis forehead orna
mented with a large patch to cover the im
cuuion left by the Yankee's knuckles, aud
is swollen eyes dimly twinkling with anger
and mortifieation through two huge livid eir.
les, with o second, soon appeared. Ho wag
followed by a servaut with a pistol case, and
'| an assortment of swords. [le bowed stiftly to
Capt. Lovett—nand Lieut. James, approach.
Ling the Yankee, asked him if he was willing
| to fight with swords—*if so,' said he, *l be
lieve we can suit you. We have brought
'with us the small sword, a neat gentlemanly
’ weapon==the cut and thrust, good in a melee
and which will answer indifferently well in o
‘duel=and the broad sword or cutluss which is
often preferred by those who are deficient in
skill in the use of arms. My (riend Captain
Bigbee, is equally expert with either. Yon
have only ta choose. As the challenged par
ty, you have an undoubted right to select your
arms.’
‘OF that privilege T am well aware,' replied
Capt. Lovett, and mean to avail myself of it
[ shall not fight with swords.*
‘1 expected as much,' resumed Lt, James,
‘and have brought with me a pair of beautiful
duelling pistols, with long barrels, rifle bores,
and hair triggers. What distance shall I
measure off I
‘Eight paces.'
‘Only eight paces!" eried Lieut. James, a
little surprised. *O very well'=—aud he meas
ured it off' and placed his man at his post.—
T'hen advancing to Capt. Liovett, he presented
him with a pistol.
‘I do not fight with pistols !
‘Not fight with pistols—after having re fus
ed to fight with swords? What brought you
here then?
“T'o fight," shouted Lovett in a thunde ring
voice, which mude the British officer “start.
‘I am the chalienged party, and have a right
to choose my weapons, according to the laws
of the duello all the world over—and you ma
rely upon it Tshall not select weapons \vil‘
| which 1 am not familiar, and with which my
|antagonist hus been practising all his life.
ISuch a procecding on my'part, 1s not only" not
required by the rules of honor, which is wafter
‘all, a mere chimera, but would ba contrary’ to
all dictates of commou sense. No—l shall
fight with the weapons of honorable warfare,
to which I have been accustomed. Swords
and pistols, indeed !’
*But, my dear sir.’ eried the astonished
Lieutenant, ‘we must proceed according to
the rule of the business. What weapons
have you fixed upon?' And in fancy's eye
he beheld before him a huge blunderbuss
loaded with buckshot.
~ Captain Lovett said nothing—but beckcned
to Mr. Starbuck, who approached him with
great alacrity, bearing two harpoons. lHe
‘seized oune of the formidable weapons, and
thrust it into the hands of Bighee, who seam
ed absolutely paralyzed with astonishmen 1.
‘My weapon'said he *is the juvclin—suc h as
the Grecian and Roman knights often for ght
with in olden times—a weapon, which uol nan
who challenges another, can refuse to £ ght
with at the present day, unless he possese 's a
mean and craven spirit.’
’ Thus saying, lie took the station assige ed,
at eight paces distant from his startled ata go
‘nist. He coolly bared hissine vy arm—gri sp
ing the harpoon, placed himselfin an attitude.
‘l'll bet," a smoked herring against a spe 'rm
~whale, that I'll drive the harpoon throv igh
that fellow's midrifi’ the first throw, and will
finish him without the aid of the lance. . Mr.
Starbuck,’ fiercely continued Captain Lov ett,
in a loud and rough voice, such as is seld om
heard, excepting on board a Nantucket w' aal
ing vessel, when a shoal of whales is in sight,
*Stand by to haul that fillow in.’
The mate grasped the end of the line, his
eycs bearaing with as much expectation and
~delight, as i he was steering a boatbow o n to
an eighty barrel whale, while Captain Liovert
\puised his harpuon with both hands, keenly
‘Lycd the British Captain—=shouted in a tre
meudous voice, *‘Now rvor 11,” and drew back
his arm in the act of throwing the fatal iron!
The Englishman was a brave man—w.hich
is notalways the case with bullios=and he had
often marched without flinching up to the
mouth of a cannon. And, if he had been in
single combat with an adversary armed with
sword or a pistol, oreven adagger ora queen's
arm, he would have borne himself manfully.
Indeed, he had already acquired an unenviable
notoriety as a duehst, and had killed his man-
But the harpoon was a weapon with which he
was altogether unaquainted—and the loud and
exulting tones of the Yankee captain's voice
sounded like a summons to the grave, and
when hie saw the Yankee raise the polished
iron—and pause for an instant, us if cov cen
trating all his strength to give the fatal ‘blow,
a paoic terror siezed him=his limbs trem ibled
—his features were of a ghastly pallor, and
the cold sweat stood in large drops on his fore
head. He had not strength to raise his v 7eap
on=—and when his grim opponent shouted,
*Now for it," and shook his deadly weapor ), the
British officer forgetting his vows of chiv alry,
his reputation as an officer, and his hono rasa
duellist, threw his harpoon on the ground,
fairly turned his back to the enemy—and fled
like a frightened courser from the field mmid
the jeers and jibes, and the hurrahs of the
multitude assembled by this time on the spot.
Captain Bigbee's duelling days were over.
No man would fight with himn after his ad ven
tare with the Yankee. He was overwhe'imed
with insult and ridicule—and soon found it ad
visable to change into anotber regiment. But
his story got there before him—and he was
soon sent to ‘Coventry' as a disgraced man.
e was compelled, although with great reluc
tance, to quit the service—and it may with
great truth be said, that he never forgot the
lesson he received from the veteran whale r, so
\ long as his pame was Bigbee.— Boston Mer
cantile Journal.
A DOSE: OR, WHAT DID SHE TAKE?
BY T. HOOD.
“Ellen, you have heen out.”
“Well, 1 know 1 have.”
“To the King's Ilead 1"
“No, John, no. But no matter. You'll
be troubled no more with my drinking.”
“What do you mean 1"
“I mean what I say, John,” replied the
wife, looking very serious, and speaking very
solemuly and d«liberately, with a strong em
phasis oo every word, *You=will—be—
troubled=—-no—more-—with—my—drinking..
I have wook it at last.”
“l knew it !"” exclaimed the wretched hus
band, desperately tossing his arms aloft, as
when all is lost. “1 koew it!" and leaving
one coat flapin the hand of his wife, who vain
ly attemapted to detain bim, he rushed from
the room==sprang down three stairs at a timme
—ran along the passage—and, without his
hat or stick, dashed out at the street door,
sweeping from the step two ragged little girls,
a quartern louf, a basin of treacle, and a baby.
Buthe neverstopped to see if the children were
hurt, or even to see if the infant dripped with
gore or molasses. Away Lie run like a rabid
dog, straightforwarddowo the street, heedless
alike of porter'sload, baker's basket, and butch
ers tray.
“Do that again,” growled a placard man, a 8
he recovered the pole and board which had
been knocked from his shoulder.
“ Mind where you're going,"” bauled ahawk
er, as he picked up his scattered wares, while
a dandy suddenly thrust into a kennel,launch
ed after the rnoner one of those verbal mis
sives, which are said to return, like the boom
erang, to those who launched them.
But on, scampered the teetotaler, heedless
of all the impediments—on he scoured, like a
he Camilla, to the shop numbered 240, with
the red, biue, and green Lottles in the winddw
~the chemist and druggist—=into which he
darted, up to the little bald man at the desk,
with barely breath to gasp out—
“My wile ! poison! pump!”
“Vegetable or mineral 1 inquired the sur
geor apothecary, with the utmost profession
al coolness.
Bothi—all sorts—laudanum—arsevic—oxa
lic acid—corrosive sublimity''—and the teetv
taller was about to add pine apple rum among
the poisons, when the doctor stopped him.
“No!"
But remembering the symptoms over night,
the teetotaller ventured to say, on the strength
of his dream, that she was turniog all sorts of
colors, like a rainbow, and swelling almost as
big as a house.
“''here is not a moment to lose,” said Es
culapius, and accordingly clapping on his hat
and arming himself with the necessary appar
atus=a sort of clephantic syringe, with a very
long trunk=he set off on a teot, guided by the
teetotaller, to unpoison the rash und ill-futed
bacchanulian, Mrs. Burrage. i
Now when the testotaller, with the medical
man at his heels, arrived at his own house,
Mrs. Burrage wasstill in her bed-room, which
was a great’ convenience, for before she could
account for the intrusion of a stranger=-nay,
even without knowing how it was done, she
' found herselt seated in the easy chair; and
when she attempted to expostulate, she felt
herself choking with the tube of somethiog!
which wascertainly neither maccaroni norstick
liquorie®, nor yet p :ppermint.
To account for this precipitancy, the exag
gerated representation of her hushand must be
born in mind ; and if his wife did not exhibit
all the dying dolphin-like colors that he had
described—=if she was not quite so blue, green,
yellow or bluck as he had painted her, the a
pothecary made sare she would soon be, and
consequently went to work without delay,
where delays were so dangerous.
Mrs. Burrage, however, was not a woman
to submit quietly to a disagreeable operation
against her own consent; so with a vigorous
kick and push,at the same time, she contrived
to rid herself at once of the docior and his in
strument, and indignantly demanded to koow
the meaning of the assault upon her.
~ “It’s to save your life—your precious life,
Ellen,” said the teetotaller, very seriously.
“It's to empty the stomach, ma'am," said
the doctor.
“Emnpty a fiddle,” retorted Mrs. 8., who
would have added *“stick ;" but the doctor,
watching his opportunity, had dexterously
popped the tube again into her mouth—not
without a fresh scuflle from the patient.
“lor the Lord's sake, Ellen,” continued
the husband, confining her haud, **do, do,
pray do sit quiet.”
“Pon—=wob wobble,” snid Ellen. *“Hub—
bub==-bub=-bubble,” attempting in vain to
speak with another pipe in her throat beside
her windpipe.
“Have the goodness, ma'am to be compos
ed,” implored the doctor.
“I won't,” shouted Mrs. Burrage, having
again relessed hersell from the instrument by
adesperate struggle. *Whatam I tobe pump
ed out for 1
“Q, Ellen, Ellen, you know what you have
taken.” :
“Corrosive salts and narcotics,” put in the
doctor.
“Arsenie and corrosive sublimity,” said the
teetotaller.
“*Oxalic acid and tincture of opium,’ added
the doctor.
“I'ly water and laurel water,” said Mr. Bur-
rage.
*Vitriol, prussic acid, and aquifortis,” con
tinued the druggist.
“['ve taken uo such thiog," said the refrac
tory patient.
“Oh, Ellen, you know what you said. "’
“Well what {"
*'l'hat your drinking should never trouble
me any more."
“*And no more it shall!" screamed the wil
ful woman, falling, »s she spoke into convul.
sive paroxysms ol the wildest laughter, *No
more it shall, for I've tooke——"’
“What ma'am. pray what 7"
“In the name of Heaven, what?”
“Why, then, 've, took the—=PrLEDGE !"
Joxks.—A joke may change the most res
slute will of the most ferocions tyrant. All
know how despotic and ferocious was Henry
VIIL, of England. He, having soine motives
for discontent with Francis L., of I'rance, sent
to him, as Ambassador, an English Bishop,
whom he wished to charge with a message
full of gall, pride and menace. T'his prelate,
perceiving all the peril of his mission, sought
to excuse himself. Fear nothing, said Hen
ry to him, since if the King of France should
take your lite, 1 will cut off the heads of as
many I'renchmen as 1 can lay my hands on.
True, replied the Bishop, but among all those
heads there would not be one that would fit
my bust as well as the ono which is there
now! This jest made Henry laugh, and end
ed in causing him to change his resolution.
Without this, perhaps England and France
would have written the history af another war.
CHALLENGING A JURY.—An Irish officer ¢
not very conversant in law terms, was lately |
tried for an assault. As the jury were coming
to be sworn, the judge, addressing the Major
told him, that if there were any amongst them
to whom he had any objections, that was the
time to challenge them.
‘[ thank your lordship,’ said the brave
prisoner; ‘but with your lordship's permis
sion, 11l defer that ceremony till after my tri
al, and if they don't acquit me, by the piper of
Leinster I'll challenge every mother's son of
them, and have 'em out, too !’}
Dipn't LiKE 18 LooKs.—A sheriff’s offi
cer was scnt to executo a writ against a Quak
er. On arriving at the house, he saw the
Quaker's wife, who in reply to the inquiry
whether her husband was at home, replied in
afilrmative, at the same time requesting him
to be seated, and her hushand would speedily
see him. the officer waited patieutly for some
time, but the Quaker did not make his appear
ance ; and the fair Quakeress coming into the
room, be reminded her of her promise that he
should see her husband. *Nay, friend, 1
promised that he would see thee. He has
seen thee ! e diduotlike thy looks; there
fore he avoided thy path, and hath left the
house by another road!”
AckcnoTE o JunGe Parsons,—The fol
lowing aneedote has not to our knowledge ap
peared in print. ‘T'he bar of Essex county,
(Mass.,) had made a rule that no lawyer
should take into his office more than three
students. But it so happened that the celeb
rity of Parsons, then a practising lawyer in
lissex, had gained him more than his due
share, and he was accused before the bar of
having five students. Ha denied the charge ;
but it being clearly proved that there were in
his. office five young gentlemen aiming at (he
law, it was a matter of curious speculation
among his legal brethren how he would get
himself clear of the accusation. *Why, gen
tlemen,’ said he, ‘I have positively but three
students, and I believe I can prove it to your
entire satisfactton. It is true, I have five
young men in my office, but then one af them
s a dandy and the other a fiddler.
A~ Orrnovox Doc.—An old shepherd in
one of those outlying border Scotch parishes,
where there are sometimes more quadrupeds
than bipeds in church on a sabath day, was a
regular attender, with his dog at the parish
church, down to the disruptton. But at that
eventful era, he quitted the establishment and
joined the ¥ree Church. His dog, however,
no fiiend to new-fangled, high flying notions,
could by no means be induced to change
but, while his master trudges every Sunday
to hear the minisier of his choice, away he
trots doggedly to the place and the preacher
he has been accustomed to.—( Border Waltch.
AmpiTioN—An ambitious man is the great
est enemy to himscll of any in the world be
sides : for he torments himsell with hopes,
desires, and cares, which he might avoid if
he would remit the height of his thoughts
and live quietly.

WILDER’S PATENT SALAMANDER IRON
SANES,
MANUFACTURED RY
BILASC HEKRING, New York. o
A TRIAL was made belore a Committee of eminent Mer
chants at the toot of Wall street, New-York, for the
Lmrp«me of testing the fire ~hnml'(rmlitir~ of Wilder’s Patent
Salamanderr Sate, as compared with those cluiimed for
Jesse Delano’s, C, J. Goyler’s Patent Double; and Secott’s
Patent Asbestos Safe. T'he subjoined extract tfrom the
Commiittee’ Report, with the nmnes of the gentlemen who
rendercd that docisive verdict attached, presents clearly and
concisely the result of the experiment,
EXTRACT,
The above was a fair trial, and was tous a convincing
proof of the superiority of the Salamander Safe over all oth
ers ; and considering that it was exposed to an intense heat
for a period of eight hours, while each of the others were
destroyed by the same heat in less than two howrs, We
have no hesitation in =aying, that we consider Wilder's
Salamander Safe really fire-proof, and affording perfect se
curity to hooks and papers in case of fire. We therefore
take much pleasure in making this statement to the publie,
and in recommending to them Wilder’s Patent Sulaundor
Safe, as fully entitled to their confidence,

CHICKERING'S PIANO FORTES.
THE following isan extract from the re
port of the committee on musical instrus
mentsatthe fourth exhibiton of the Massa -
chusgetts Charitable Mechanie Associntic n,
held at Quiney Hall, in the city of Boston, Sept, 17, 1844 3
‘There is one manufacnrer, however, whose in<triments
take precedence of all others, with so unguesticunble a pre
eminence, that the committee felt not the slightest hiesita
tion in recommending the award to him of a pold medal ;
and this they did on two grounds, not only for the dernln‘
superiority of his sounre Pianos, but for the uncommon
merit of his grand Pianos, whicl it is no exaggeration to
say may be fearlessly placed in competition with the best
that Europe can produce, My, Chickering’s Pianos of hoth
kinds are of so delightful o tone, so delicate action, amd so
firm and enduring constinetion, that they need no medals
to give them celebrity s and it might seem supcriluous to
give encouragement to one who has already received the
highest commendations, But the committee were appoint
ed not simply to give encouragement to any persons, butto
decide according to their ability upon the relative rank of
the instruments presented to them, and it would be noth
ing short of glaring injustice to lay aside the claims of the
nstriments acknowledged to be the best, hecanse the mak
er of them bad always produced the best. =0 much the
more does he deserve the highest reward for his skill, en
terprise and industry, especially when he is seen to go on
diligently and steadily in the course of improvement, and
his competitors find, as they airive at one point where he
has long stood before them, that Lie his reached anotlics vet,
and that without much more than cominon speed, they
cannot overtake one who unites with all their wmbition, a
werseverance which may bhe cqualled but not surpassed,
Llr. Chickcring’s manutacture is ali honor to the communi
ty, in the opinion of the committee, and they wonld omit
no proper umunlunil?' of hmrmun--l‘mouy toan excellence
which makes them feel more proud of their city,”
