SWEET HOME. y Parody. By the Rev: John JSi'.Maftlu This world with its glory, and all wc noiu cicar, Now shining in beauty, must soon disap near: But a moment they glitter, then fade to i. . . uic eye, Like meteors of night, that flash o'er the sty. Home home sweet, sweet home! There's noplace like home. Tho pleasure's rich clubters now tempt ingly glow, In the frost of the grave no flowers shall grow; And homes that we love deserted become, And fond ones we cherish 'd, shall sleep in me tomo. Home home sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home! Then give me a home, far up in the skies, Where hope never withers where love never dies; The home of the Christian, where pil grims are blest, And the exiles of earth forever shall rest. Home home sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home! ADDRESS TO MY NOSE. What leads me on where'er I gc, In sun and shade, and joy and wo, Tro' fog and tempest, rain and snow? My Nose. In youth's most ardent reckless day, -And when arose disputes at play, What would be foremost in the" fray? My Nose. And should my tongue rude blows provoke What would protrude Scbrave each stroke Till coral streams its pains bespoke? My Nose. And falling in each airy bound, In chase of some new charm or sound, To save me what came first to ground? My Nose. When some dark pass I would explore, With neither shut nor open door, What on for me bad usage bore? My ISosc. And when in want I learned to cat, And hunger might my judgment cheat, What prompted me to food most sweet? My Nose. lUid violet banks and woodbine bowers, And woods ere bloom'd the fairest flowers What fed me with their fragrant powers? My Nose. Each eye may need in age a guide, And when young helpmates 1 provide, I hy back thouVU lend me for to stride. My sose. And can I e'er in care or glee, Kefusc my aid or love to thee, Who thus has felt and bled for me? My Nose. No: when cold winter's winds blow high, And bite thee hard and thee shall cry, Ihy tears with sympathy I'll dry, My Nose. And if for snufF thy love shall come, c,hI,Haves nV fi"Ser and my thumb, fcnall faithful be and bear thee some, My Nose. Still, as I follow thee along, Oh! raay'st thou never lead me wrong, I 13ut thou must hush our sleeping song : My Nose. ! Manufactories. -hi a speech lately delivered in Providence, Rhode Island, the very stron" Jiold of cotton mills, a lamentu ble picture is drawn of the fate of the operatives in those estab lishments. It is there stated, that children of a very tender age are shut up from the com mon blessings of air and exer cise, for fourteen hours in the day, with the exception of twenty or thirty minutes that are allowed twice a day for meals, and are otherwise in humanly treated. But, Sir, con tinues the Orator: "We would presume to advise the Hon. Senator from Kentucky to trav el m cog. when he visits Cotton mills. He can then see, in many of the pri. sons of that name in New Kngland, instead of rosv PhML.B ., ' Sickly the haggard countenance of .-B5i cnnu horn G to 12 rears 7, , .

'The Hon. Cientleman might see about 5000 children in Khodcsland, almost one half of the whole numbei of Hie Slate, deprived in a great mea sure, of the means to learn even the first rudiments of education. We could point out to him many of all ages, from six to thirty years, who can ncitner read nor write. We can show him females who have had cor poreal punishment inflicted on them. Yes, Sir, who have had a board split over their heads by a heartless mon ster, in the shape of an overseer of a Cc Hon Mill Paradise. Can there exist a more intol erable slavery than this? Had the picture been drawn at a dis tance from the place at which this cruelty is practised, and where the means of detecting misrepresentation were not so immediately ut hand, we would not have given credit to it. We knew that in the crowded pris ons of the same kind in Europe such a state of things did exist: there we have witnessed scenes of cruelty, in comparison with which most ot the evils of Sou thern slaveryare tender mercies: but that they should be permit- UiU in Kenubhcan America. where the means of subsistence are so easily obtained, and the opportunities for healthful labor and necessary liberty are so va ried and accessible, seems alto gether unaccountable. Neubcrn Sentinel. Dow, the Preacher. Loren zo, the Cosmopolite, after an in terval according to his own statement, of about twenty years, again visited this town nn Saturday last, and twice ad dressed the multitude, as he is in the habit of calling his audi tors, lie is but little changed in appearance, and his manner! ot speaking just as it was. We are informed that in one of his discourses, he spoke of the sev en vials of God's icrath poured out upon a sinful world, one of which was young Napoleon, who in less than eicrhtrpti months, he predicted, would be seated on the throne of France, thence, like another Atlilu! scourging the nations: Rnt if the last news from Eurone is tn be relied nnoti. tlio ,.A,,.,. will be falsified by the death of the "bon of the Man " fsaid to be dangerously ill,) ere his war- iiKe career lias a beumnim: or the vaticinations of Lorenzo can be much farther promuKa- ted.

A Intn Kentucky paper gives some cir cumstances connected with one ot the most atrocious cases of murder that has ever come un der our observation. Mr. An drew Young and his wife, resi ding within about a mile and a half of Mount Sterling, worn murdered by one of their ne-; groes on feunday last. The negro, about 19 years of age,! was threatened by his mistressj a wn,PPm- At this time lho SrealGr part of the family wiui a whipping. At this time were absent, the daughters be- '.v uuu"im;i it I. . . "LTl, 1,)U himself in the orchard, some . cumu fliort distance from the house. Mrs. Younir beinrr in tho don, the negro came upon her with an axe, knocked her down, y repented blows despatched her, and consummated the deed hy separating Iter head from her body! He then went to the or chard and concealing himself behind an apple tree, watched his opportunity, and springing out on Mr. Young as he passed, succeeded in knocking him down wiih the axe and then murdered him. After these deeds were done, far from at tempting his escape, he told his younger brother to go to the meeting house and inform the ladies of what had happened. The brother spread the alarm on his way the negro was se cured, and committed to Mount Sterling jail. Mr. Young was upwards of sixty years of age, and Mrs. Young about fifty. Juries. The law for starving juries has been abolished in Georgia. The law now pro vides, that where a jury is kept together any length of time, without being able to agree, they may supply themselves with provision and fire. Singular. We learn from good authority thnt about an acre and a half of land on the eastern shore, iu Dutches coumy, (New York,) about 3 miles up tlie river from New burnh, has fallen nearly one nunarcd teet from its original level, so that the tops of the highest trees now standing on the fallen tract, are only even with the surface of the surroun ding land. V c " .! W I III reasonable way of accounting tor tins singular phenomenon, unless it is humd that a stream of water which we learn runs into the river in that vicinity, has been gradually undermining for years, and the foundation having washed away, the whole mass has iiUm..Neuburh Tel. Extraordinary Circumstance. On the 1st ult. a man and wo man of genteel appearance put up at a boarding house in New York, having with them, a child about six weeks old. After re maining n few days they walk ed out, apparently on business, leaving the child. Miy in re turning excited suspicion, and on opening a box of theirs Si 50 and a note requesting that the family should lake good care of the child that money would be forwarded by mail to pay cx pences; and should it be neces sary to hear from the supposed father and mother, they should write to , Zanesville, Ohio. Shocmahing by machinery... It is not generally known, but we understand it to be an abso lute fact, that Shoes are manu factured in Detford, EmHand by machinery: and th at f I r crt. vernmcnt refuses to permit ns being further used on account of its throwing the great body of persons belonging to that bu siness outof employment. This makes forty kinds of business in which machinery has been introduced. England finds it necessary to check machinery. London paper.
