SONG OF THE RUSHLIGHT.
01 seem me not as a tameless thing,
Nor turn with contempt from rke lay I sing.
Ti true I am not sufer'd to be
On ihe ringinghoaH of wasral glee.
Sly sickly beam must never fall
In the gay saloon of the lordly ball,
Yet many a tale does that rushlight know
Of secret sorrow and lonely woe.
t tn the light that quivering flits
In the joyless home where the fond wife tit,
Waiting the one that flies bis hearth
For a ribald erew and drunkard's mirth.
langhath she kept her wearying watch,
' jVow bitterly weeping, now breathless to. elfish
.The welcome tread of a footstep near,
Till she weeps sia as it dies en her ear.
Ber restless eye as the night wears late,
Is anxiously thrown on the dial plate r
An4 a sigh responds to the echoing sound
That tells the hand has gone its round
Che mournfully trims my slender wick,
As she sees me fading and wasting quick,
And many a time has my spark expired,
And left hex still the weeping and tired.
J am the light that often shines,
Where (he friendless child of genius pine.
Where the God-like mind is trampled down
By the callous sneer and tye freezing frowui
Where Want i playing demon part
And sends its iron to the heart,
' Like die incease fire la funeral urns.
' The thoughts Intense dial flashing spring,
And my flickering beajn illumes the page .
' That may live in the fame of a future age ;

As the bieast turns sick with blasted hope,

DECLARATluri.
When in the course of human events
it becomes necessary for a hungry, half-
fed, imposed on let of men to dissolve
tbe bonds of Landlord and boarder, a
decent respect for tbe opinions of man
kind, requires that tbey should declare
tbe causes wh-ch bave impmeu twin to
tbe separation
We hold these truths to be self evident:
(bat all men are created wtth mouths and
bellies: and that tbey ere endowed by
their Creator witfe certain unalienable
rights, amonit w hich, is, that no man shall
oe compelled t starve, out of mere com
plaisance to a landlord; and tbut every
roan has a right to fill bis stomach and wet
bis whistle with the best that's going.
The history of 4he preseut landlord of
the White 2 tors, is a history ol repeat' d
nsults, exaction, and injuries, all having
in direct object, the establishing of ab
Sulute tyranny over their stomachs and
throats. To prove Ibis, let tacts be suo
mitteJ to a candid world.
Hi has refused to keep any tbing to
drink but blaze faced wfciskey.
tie bas refused to set on bis table for
dinner, any thing but turnip soup, with a
little bull beef and sourbrout; which are
not wholesome and necessary for tbe pub
lic good..
He 4iaa refused to let hs only waiter,
blink eye Joe, suit more than nx grains
of coffee to one gallon of water.
He bas turned loose a multitude of rleas,
and;swarms of bed bugs to assail us in the
peaceable hours of tbe Bight and to eat
out our substance. '
tie has kept up in our beds and bead.
steads, itan Jiug ari&ies of these merciless
savages, with their scalping knives and
tomahaws, whose known rule of warfare
is undistinguished destruction
He bas excited domestic insurrection a
mong u by getting drunk before break
fast, and malting bis wiie ana servant so
before dioner, svhereby there bas often
been the devil lo pay.
e bas waged cruel war against nature
itself by feeding our horses with broom
straw, and corn stairs, ana carrying ioem
off to drink at puddles where swioo re
fuse to wallow. "
He bas protected one eyed Joe in bis
eillany in the robbery of our Jugs, by
pretending to give him a mock trial, after
sharinsr with bim tbe spoil.
A Landlord whose character is thus
marked by every act which may define a
tyrant is unfit to keep a boarding bouse
for Cheroaee inuian.
Nor have we been wanting in our at
teations to Mrs. B -, and Miss Sally.
We have warned them from time to time
f the attempts of B to starve and
ca us. We bave reminded them ol
i'Lmstances of our coming to board
I a .1 . animity-we bave

which would inevitable interrupt ,?
nexion and com spondenre. Tbey too,
nave been dear lo tbe voice of justice
we are mereiore, constrained to bold a
three ol these parties alike inimical to
our well being, and regirdleas of our com
forts.
We, therefore, make this solemn dA
laration of our final separation from our
former landlord, and cast our defiaoce in
his teeth.

Twice, in the course of thirty save
years, the wooden coffin has been r?nr
ed; and the vault containing it, onre, we
believe, rebuilt. It was at length thought
becoming to obtain a rerept ibiti more pet
rnncnt rerc4acl- ibao that of wud.
application was made to Mr. Sirutbers, ,
citizen ot f biladelpbia, far the construc
tion of a sarcophagus of marble. Mr.
struthers entreated permission to supply
one without being paid for it. It was re- ,
cently completed and taken to tbe sequel
tered spot, no tbe eastern slope of Mount
Vernon, selected for a family vault by
Washington himself, a short time previous)
to his death. "Tbe spot is skirted," con
tinues a late newspaper account, "by
dense wood in front, guarded with an u
ron gate and Gothic arch way, over whicb
is the following inscription:
"WITHIN THIS ENCLOSURE REST
ths bkmsikb or
GEN L. GEORGE WASHINGTON
Over tbe door of tbe vault is a pannel
bearing thes impressive words fro n St.
John: "1 am tbe resurectioo and Ihe life;
be that believetb in cue, though he wer
dead, yet shall be live. Jnd whosoever
livetb and beiievetb io me, shall nevef
die."
Tbe sarcophaeuk is placed on lb right
of the entrance between tbe outer wall
and the vault; tbe ceremony of deposit
ing leaden coffin within tbe marble cavi
ty wss consummated on Saturday by Mr.
Strickland, Mr. Struthers ,and Mr. Hill,
tbe sculptor, in tbe presence of Major
Lewis, John A, Washington. George
Washington, Miss Jane Washington, and
tbe Rev. Mr. Johnson and lady.

r.lEeiUNici. A respeetablef
industrious mechanic is as hon
orable as any man upon th lac
of the earth, and as deserving
of the attention anil fellowship
of mankind. The individual
who would point the finger of
Scorn at a mrchanlc n r lv be
cause he is such, and tpuro tho
man and his family, as disgrace
ful and unfit lor his or her, asso
ciation, deserves to be hooted
from society, and set up as t
mark of contempt. No one of
respectable information, in hi?
senses, will speak lightly of the
mechanic's calling and such
conduct is a strong mark of ig
norance, an'1, not only merits Iftr.
receivfa tho reprehension of ev
ery enlightened person. ,
We pity the poor'nrrstocfatio
fool, who priding himself upon
his own family's wealth of dis
Wtion, can look sneering!? or
speak lightly of the mechanic,
for he may b" as ar"d man,
