LIFE'S LESSON SHOULD BE.
BY B. HALLECX.
T Forget not regret not
The joys that have fled,
1 Though sweeter and fleeter
Than fresh odors hed
From the jessamine's cup,
Or the bright challice hid
', From the gaze of the sun
Neath the violet's lid.
-
Forget not regret not;
Hope ever should burn
The incense of love
In her funeral irn;
Shedding glory and light
O'er the gems of the past
By time on the alter
Of memory cast.
Foigel not regret not;
Why should we regret, .
While one star remains
That another has"set?
And though all have laded,
Others brighter by far,
Through the gloom may arise
Than one once-worship'd star.
Forget not regret not;
Life's lesson should be
Like the stars that are hung
O'er the limitless sea,
A guide to our path,
Bright links of the chain,
To load us and bind us
To virtue again.
A PICTURE OF HOME INFLUENCE.
BY MRS. KOLLEN.
'Dear Edward,' said his wife, 'you
have something on your mind; your
' brow looks troubled; what is it?'
'Onlyanxielv about business, Amy.
. llow often have 1 wished I had not
been bred a merchant! But mv mother
said it was a favorite wish of my fath
er, that 1 should be an accomplished
merchant.'
'I have sometimes wished so too,' an
swered his wife; 'and then again, J
: remembered that the very evils which
belong to your profession, may be turn
ed into good. He that has it in his
power to do wrong with impunity,
though he gains by it, yet he chooses
the right by which he is the most elo
, quent preacher of righteousness.'
'Very true,Amy; but sometimes, this
is indeed cutting off the right hand, and
. plucking out the right eye; and then
thinking always about money, and bar
gains, has such a counteracting influ
ence upon one's mind.'
'But, how often, Edward, have I
heard you say, that no man has such a
wide and various connexion with the
human race, as a well-educated, up
right, and active merchant. Every
part of the world sends him its tribute
of knowledge, as well as of riches. He
sees men under all aspects; and while
lie may, with a certain degree of secu
ity, indulge in dishonesty, and be an
enemy to his fellow-men, perhaps no
man can be so true, and sell sacrificing,
and efficient a philanthropist as a chris
tian merchant.'
'It is not always as easy as you may
imagine for a merchant to act as re
membering that he is under his great
Task-master's eye.'
'Not for all or some men; but for you
Edward, the difficulty would be to net
otherwise. When I think of your pro
fession, Edward, it gives me pleasure
to notice that merchants in general, as
they acquire property'inore easily, arc
most disposed to spend it liberally.'
Yes,' said Edward, as his eyes kin
dled at the thought, 'the greater por
tion of our public benefactors have
been merchants. Their money has
given eyes to the blind and ears to the
deaf, health to the sick, and peace and
comfort to the forsaken, it feeds and
instructs the ignorant poor, it sends the
glad tidings of salvation to the unbe
liever and the penitent; it takes little
children in its arms and blesses them;
but ah this glorious power supposes
wealth Amy.'
'And you, dear Edward, nre rich
enough to enjoy the highest of all priv
ileges; to be the dispenser of good to
others. You have cause only for
thankfulness. But the poor, the un
successful merchant, who has not the
meansof educating his children, whose
spirits are broken down by failures,
and whose temper is soured by what
. he considers the injustice or dishonesty
of others perhaps may be excused for
finding fault with his profession. My
. heart aches for him."
Edward started up and walked has
. tily backward and forward, through the
room, as if he had been seized with
some sudden and intolerable pain.
What is the matter?' said his wife,
are you ill?'
'O nothing; nothing of consequence,'
' said Edward, 'I happened to think of
, someting unpleasant then. It is late
now and my head aches.'
" They retired for the night. The
next day Ed ware looked depressed and
. i thoughtful, and as if he had passed a
-sleepless night. Amy was troubled
by his silence. This was the first
cloud that rested upon her husband's
- brow Bincethey were married.
'lie has,' she said to herself, 'he has
, always confided everything to me. He
will tell me what it is that hangs so
' Tieav jly on his .spirits. He will never
shut me out from his sorrows
more than his joys.1
She thought, when he returned from
the counting-house for the day that he
looked more free and happy, though he
was still silent and thoughtful.
'Come and tit by me, Amy,' said
Edward to her, when they were .alone.
in the evening.
Amy sat down by her husband.
Do you not enjoy, Amy, our hand'
some house, and pictures, and carriage
etc?'
'Surely, Edward, I take great pleas
ure m these things, nut why uo you
ask?'
'And you love to have money enou
iih to give to those who want it?'
'Why. what a question, Edward!
you know that 1 value this power
more than 1 can tell.'
'A nd can you voluntarily resign all
these luxuries, Amy?'
'Why should 1 voluntarily resign
them Edward? What makes you so
enigmatical? Tell me what you mean?'
'Suppose that all the money that en-
nables us to indulge in these luxuries
is not our own; what would you have
me to do, Amy?
'Is it you, Edward that ask me wheth
er I would be dishonest?7
'But suppose, according to the law
of the land, and the customs of soci
ety,
and the tacit consent of those
most interested, this property was se
cured to you?
'When I am satisfied,' siid Amy,
'that I can plead the law of the land,
the customs ol society, and the opin
ion of the world, before the judgment
seat of God, as an excuse for violating
that higher law, which he has written
on my heart; when I have placed the
opinion of the world in the scales
against iny own seif-respect, and find
it weightiest then Ldward, 1 might hes
itate. But why ask me such ques
tions? Why do you not speak plain
ly?
'I will, Amy,' answered her hus
band, 'When 1 fuileiTin business be
fore our marriage, made a settlement
with my creditors, by which I paid
them seventy-five cents on a dullar.
They knew that I paid them all 1 had,
and signed a release irom all luture
claims. Of late; my mind has been
troubled about these debts, for as such
I consider them. A few days ago one
of my creditors brought his son, to me,
and asked me to take him into my
store. He mentioned, in the course
of the conversation, that he had in
tended to send his son to college, for
the boy had a thirst for learning; but
he was in fact, fitted to enter; but that
he found he was too poor, 'II' said
the father, 'by denying myself every
thing but the necess tries of lifr, I could
feed my boy's mind, I would thankfully
do it 5 but 1 cannot honestly indulge my
self even in this luxury.' 1 felt smitten
to the heart. When 1 failed, 1 owed
that man twelve thousand dollars. - I
paid him but nine. I now, of course
owe three and the interest upon it.
The sum would enable him to give his
son the advantage he so much desires,
I have been thinking over the whole
subject, and studying it fairly. Dry
man's Essay would satistv. me, if 1
were not convinced before, of what
is right.
'And you will of course do it, there
can be no doubt.'
'I knew you would say so, Amy; but
you must think it over calmly. You
know upon the subject of property, as
well as other things, we have no mine
and thine; as we have one interest and
duty, so we have equal rights. 1 can
not take this step without your lull ap
probation and consent.'
'Is that all that has troubled you
for these few days?' said Amy, as she
looked into her husband's face, with an
expression of joyful relief.
'All,' said Edward.
'And why not speak to me at first
about it? Why not let me share every
trouble as it arises?'
'O; Amy, I felt it only on your ac
count. 1 hated to deprive you of all
these luxuries. You know with what
delight I see you doing good, real good
with the money.'
'Never again, Edward, do me the
injustice to suppose that I prefer the
lower virtues of charity to the higher
one of justice.
From the Missourian.
POLKIANA.
POLK it at the whigs, that Mr.
Clay, by his anti-Texas letter,has iden
tified himself with that 'respectable por
tion ol citizens, yelept abolitionists-
that he begs their votes and that to
secure their support he goes against
the admission of Texas now and for-
ever.
POKE it at them, that Theodore
Frelinghuysen was the champian of the
anti-Sunday mail petitioners, who were
so triumphantly put down some years
ago by the unanswerable Sunday Mail
report of Col. Johnson that said Fre
linghuysen is strongly suspected of
auoiitionism, and Doiuiy charged with
Native Americanism.
POKE it at them, that Henry Clay
stil goes to the death for fastening up
on the people, a fifty million United
States Bank with branches, in all the
States contrary to their wishes.
POKE it at them, that Mr. Clay is
in favor of creating a great national
debt, by making the General Govern
ment assume the State debts and that
he. is in favor of robbing the General
Government by distributing the pro
ceeds of the sales of public lands a
mong the States.
POKE it at them, that Henry Clay,
in 1825, entered into a base bargain
and intrigue with John Quincy Adams,
by which said Clay became Secretary
of State and Adams President, to the
exclusion and robbery of Andrew Jack
son who was the choice of the people-
POKE it nt them, that Henry Clay,
though a member of the masonic fra,
ternity, pretends, for the sake of appeas
ing the anti-masons, to have forgotten
the signs '
POKE it at them, that Henry Clay
is the man who originated the idea ol
a Bankrupt law, that he forced the bill
through the coon Congress of 1840
that said bill became so odious that the
same Congress which passed it was
compelled to repeal it and that II.
Clay stood up for it to the last and voted
against its repeal in defiance of instruc
tions from the Legislature of his own
State.
POKE it at them, that Mr. Clay is
opposed to the graduation of the price
of the public- lands opposed to the
whole pre-emption system and that
he has denounced the settlers on the
public lands as a "LAWLESS RAB
BLE.." POKE it at them, that the Presi
dent of the Baltimore coon conven
vention was a Hamiltonian anti war
federalist, and that one of the Vice
Presidents of said convention was a
member, '"in full communion," of the
celebrated Hartford Convention.
POKE it at them, that we go for
"principles, not men" that we are in
favor of measures, not promises that
we go for substance, not show, least ol
all a coon show that we are in favoi
of an honest collector, safe keeper, and
law abiding disburser of the public
moneys, and not for a bank of fifty
millions which shall oppress the peo
ple and swindle the government that
we are for a revenue tariff, not a high
protective one which shall favor a few
capitalists atat theexpenseof the great
mass that we are in favor ol a grad
uation of the price of the public land
that we are in faver of pre-emption
laws that we go for protecting the
settlers on the public lands in their
just rights, and not for assailing them
as "LAND I'I KATES" and a LAW
LESS RABBLE" that we go for
keeping the public funds for public
purposes, and not for distributing them
in gratuities to the indebted States
that we go for the States paying their
own debts, and not for saddling them
upon the General Government and
finally Poke it into them with oil your
might on all sides, that they may at
once understand mat we go in distinct
ly for giving the "Mill boy of the Slash
es" a regular built thrashing.
The whig party electod Mr. Tyler gave him
all the powers he possesses to do mischief set him
the first example of "traitorism" by abandoning
the "promiiet" of 1810 which gave them ascen
dcucy and now that he has done about as much
mischief in one way to the country, as they would
have undoubtedly done, but for a Providential in
terference, in another, they are calling upon the
democratic members of Congress to impeach him.

This well established periodical, the name of
which has so long been a household word in every
part of the Union, continues its claims upon the
favor of the reading public No effort which in
dustry in the business department, enterprise in the
arrangements for the provision of matter, and care

Deeming
PURITY OF MORALS
the great safe guard of private happiness and public
prosperity, the conductors carefully excludp from
its colums every thing however brilliant in
LITERARY MERIT
which may reasonably be objected to in the score of
objectionable tendency. The fields of pure liter
ature afford a sufficient material to make an
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER
to contain all the elements of excellence, without a
single objectionable line; and it is the greatest
pride of the United States Saturday Post that no
head of a family need hesitate to let its columns
go under the notice of any member of bis house
hold. The general features of the paper include
TALES, ORIGINAL AND SELECTED,
chosen for their lessons of life, illustrations of his
tory, depicture of manners and general merit; and
adapted in their variety to the tastes of both sexes,
and of all ages. Particular attention is paid to the
advancement of knowledge relative to
AMERICAN HISTORY, LIFE AND
MANNERS,
as the past files of the paper will show. Some of
the most popular American Tales Novelettes which
have ever appeared in the periodicals of this coun
try have originated in the Philadelphia Saturday
Post. And while Ameiican themes are more par
ticularly our favorites, the productions of
FAVORITE EUROPEAN WRITERS '
are canvassed, and such articles selected from time
to time, as come within our scope. Nor is the
handmaid of sterner literature Poetry forgotten
for tome oi the most of delightful

of this paper, and it will be the endeavor of those
concerned to make il continue, what it has been
for over twenty years,
THE FAVOITE FAMILY JOURNAL,
While these characteristics of Literary Magazines
are presented, the other essentials of the publica
tion will not be forgotten, and in its inner pages
will present the characteristics of of a .
CAREFULLY PREPARED NEWSPAPER,
containing all current intelligence of interest oj
importance, but carefully avoiding such details of
crime as serve only to familiarise readers with it,
to no possible purpose. '
AGRICULTURAL MATTER
will occupy a portion of the columns, and our far
mer readers will be treated to such articles as con
tinualy present theroseves to the attention of the
agriculturist in these days of improvement. If the
PENS OF ABLE WRITERS,
engaged expressly fortius journal, and the results
of long experience in catering for the public taste
can continue the present prosperity of the
Post (and more the publishers oanurt desire) its
course will still be onward.

This is the cheapest paper ever of

shall be under the necessity, in all cases,
of receiving the money in advance.
The approaching campaign is of the
tftmost importance to the safety, liber
ty, and welfare of this government and
people. The old bargain and bargain
ers of 1824-5, between Adams and
Clay, must all come under review, and
the people must again decide that ques
tion, and the thousand other questions
now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption of
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and a resolution
just introduced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature a U. S. Bank. &c. c.
The times demand that every man
should do his duty that every repub
lican should be at his post that truth
should be scattered wherever error is
found. We issue our Campaign Paper
to meet the wants of the numerous
CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject.
Democrats! let us at once go to
work. The honor and salvation of
this Union depends on your exertions
our soil, the soil of Oregon, is in dan
ger if federalism gets power in our
Councils. Throw aside all minor ques
tions, and stand forth for your coun
try. 0CTwhere it is convenient, we should
prefer the CLUB papers to one direc
tion. f

MEDIC L NOTICE.
TO THE PHYSICIANS OF MONROE CO.
Gentlemen: You are hereby requested to
meet in Convention in WooosriELD, on Saturday
the 29th inst., at 11 o'clock A. M.
The objects of the Convention are for the pur
pose of interchanging social civilities with each oth
er, and to unite in au effort to elevate the profes
sion, by personal and scientific intercourse. It is
hoped that we will be favoured with the attendance
of every member of the profession in the oounty,
and such others as may live contiguous to the coun
ty line. - All physicians fell the loss of absence from
home, however short the time may be, but we
hope that every one will feel that our profession
is a unit in interest, and that its respectability and
success can be secured only by the effective opera
tion of the whole body. Every member of the pro
fession is personally interested in maintaining its in.
terests, and if these can in any degree be -secured
by meeting in convention, the advantages gained
will surpass the sacrifice of time lost in attendance.
It is hoped that all who attend will come prepared
to make some suggestion for the regulation and im
