A comical old sort of a creature : It happen'd once (the story's true, I row,) I say it happen'd that Mr. Dow Was travelling o'er the hills, Enduring all the ilia A wandering lie is subject to - And these are neither small nor few ; It chanced upon a dark and stormy night He pass'd a houseand saw a glimmering light ; He call'd and ask'fUo stay -the womansaid he might. Good souls! how fast 'twas raining ! The husband was away at training, Or somewhere else there was a fellow there, A big stout knavo he was, with Ted curled hair ; He'd come for no good purpose you may s wear. They got some lea -Lorenzo went to pray'rs, Then sought his ted, forgetting all his cares, With conscience clear and heart light as a feather, While Madam and her "friend" slipp'd off together, ?fot to Lorenzo's bed-room Jut another. 'Twas now, I reckon, abbut nine o'clock At half past twelve there was a thundering knock At the front door it was the husband come, Pretty well charged with good New England rum ; The lady knew not now which way to send Her pro tern husband, bur pig red hair'd friend ; A woman though has always some expedient, And fire-skull now was glad to be obedient. f n an old hogshead was a store of rags, Just thrown in loose, they were not tied in bags; In there; the lady chuck'd her paramour, Then histen'd, in her night gown to unlock the door. Tn came the husband, staggering and reeling, And lean'd his musket up against the ceiling. He seem'd disposed to make a devilish rout, Smacking his ,fist and kicking chairs about ! ''Don't make a noise," the lady mildly said, : You'll wake the stranger that's up stairs in bed," ''Stranger! who? who?" "Hush! hush! you drunken creature, The man I mean is Mr. Dow the preacher." t: Old Dow ! O ho, by gosh I'll have some fun, I'm just about drunk enough to ran My rigs upon The whining, canting, T eaching,j-anting Old rogue Hallo! you MrrDow, I've, heard as how, -I6ngst other tricks, some evil, bu sometimes try to. ' raise the devil.' So now come down, ; You wandering clown, And try your hand." tyjoth "Dow, ' "I cannot understaud What m the name off sense you would be at, With - raising the devil' and all that." " Well," says the other, " I don't want your chat, 13ut come and work, sir ; or, by thunder, I'Jl lay your lean and wind-dried body under My feet and tramp your life out." Lorenzo found it all in vain, : 'Vo argue, reason or explain, With such a drunken brute as thirS, So he got up and with a solemn phit:, Ask'd tor some brimstone and some fresh hog's lard, 'it Says he " in that old skillet it shall! be prepar'd." He took a jack-knife then split a shingle, He had it mixed and melted in a minute. Then stooping down he muttered something in it. Latin or Dutch. ' T can't tell which. ; The husband's courage now began to fail, His knee joints trembled, and his face turn'd pal! - Open the door," says Dow, " and let him out, Or he'll tear off your shingle roof I doubt." His horrid match he kindled at the fire, The blue flame rose as high as his head or higher Straight to tho rags he went, and, thrusting his fire brand in, ' u Come forth" he cried, lt. thou author of all ein ?" Out jump'd the devil with a hideous roar, Jielohing forth fire and brimestone on the floor, And 1 believe was never heard of more. Every day a Ship is Lost. From an semination ot Lloyd s Lists, from the year i?9d to the commencement of 1829, it has ap- geared that the number of British vessels a- Jone lost during thatperidd, amounted, on an average, to no less than one and a half daily We 1 ear fi from Moreau's tables, that the num ber of merchant vessels employed at one time in the navigation oi England and Scotland a- mounts to about 20,000 having, one with anoth er, a burden of 120 tons. Out of 551 ships of the Royal navy of England, lost to the coun- try during the period above mentioned, only ivv wereiaKen or uesiroyea oy tne enemy ; ne resi uaving euuer sirancieu or toundered, A. I - III. A 1 I 1 I or having been burnt by accident a striking jproot mat tne dangers ot naval wariare, how- ever great may De lar exceeded by the storm, I-, oma ui the deeps, ilunng the last great war in Eu rope, 32 British ships of the line went down to the bpttom in the space of 22 years, besides seven 50 gun ships, 86 frigates, and a multi tude of smaller vessels. The navies of the other EuroDean Dowers, France. Holland. Snain. and Denmark, were almost annihilated " . i A 1 ot ineir loses must nave many umes exceea eit that of the kingdom of Great Britain; These numbers, we believe, very far exceeded what most neoDle would have supposed. To this immense loss of ships of war and of com merce, the imagination must be lelt to sup ply the incalculable amount of wealth swal lowed upjwith them, and the thousands of hu man beings who thus found a watery grave. More strength in the building might save half f this suffering. The following account of loss and accidents of British vessels is extracted from Lloyd's A,ist of 1829:On foreign vovae-es.157 wrecM ed, 284 driven on shore, of which 224 are Known to have been got off, and probably more; Lfrter'drsunk'1 n down; 35 aban :eiat.Se,aAand ? of them afterwards carried U1W 1-4, condemed jsei. one ot tnpm,;..!,.. i j 1 1 one ot Coasters aim uumcrs, iuy wrecked, 297 shore, of which 121 known . driven on got off, and probably many more ; 97 found to have been edorsunK, tour ot tnem raised, 6 run dovvn. 13 abandoned. 5 of them aftprur a r-i , .

A I "HIS EXCELLENCY.' subject of constitutional titles, if it should bedeemed exDedient to tak into con-1 sideralion a revision of the constitution at the A T the late annual meeting of the STOCK present time, ought not to be overlooked. It -O-LHOLDERS of the BANK of NEWBERN Is not perhaps, ofsufficient imoortance in itself on the first Monday of this month, It was to justify the call of a convention for the ex-1 press purpose but when a contention is cai- led, we hone the eood sense of those whom the people may delegate for composing that i bodv, will, on their first glance at the "Execu- tive" power' strike out the title of "His Fx- cellency," now appended to the office of Gov- ernor. The title of Governor" is, in itself, significant and proper, as are the titles of r.pnpl "f.nlnnel." &c. to military offi- cersjbutwhy the Governor should also be dubbed With the additional title of "His Ex- cellency," no man on earth can give a reason- able why or wherefore. It is but a relic of the ; follv and parade of Kingly governments, and it sannot be but disgusting to the common sense of a Republican Governor to be a dressed by l. A i eli tViia an A ilit llnv a n r r- .-i and Esquires, assumed bv the council, the Sen- ate, and house of Representatives, will also fall into disrepute. We know not how this suggestion' may be received by others, there are doubtless some who are pleased with the unmeaning, though high-sounding titles of "His Ex cellency, the Governor V " the Honor able Council!" and the Honor ahle Senate!" as announced by the shrill voice of the door keeper of thp House of Representatives, every morning on the assembling of those august bodies to attend prayers; these, of course will oppose the abolition of titles; but we must trust t It s-k 4V4-t-ksJ n n rtT U a .r-v-vt"Vvli-k tr C f C "kilt ft ntA is with us. We believe there arc very fe(v of ;r.. k;.i iv n,l Massachusetts, that recognize any such consti tutional title. ilie Executive of the United States has no title except that of Resident, which indicates his official character. There was indeed, an atempt oh the part of the aristocratic branch of the general government, to affix to his name a high-sounding appellation; but the good sense of theopular branch set the matter at rest The fallowing is the account given of this by Mr. Jefferson, in a letter written at Paris, soon after the formation of the federal constitution. The Senate and Representatives differed a bout the title of the President. The former wanted tq style him His Highness George Washington, President of the United states, and Protector of their liberties." The lat ter insisted and prevailed, to give no title but that of office, to wit: "George Washington, President of the United States and he adds. I hope the terms ofExcellency, Honor, Wor ship, Esquire, will for ever disappear from a mong us from that moment. I wish that of Mr. would follow them.!' There is loo much of this aping aristocracy in our country, and in Congress, even now, it seems to be a- growing evil ; we can scarcely cast our eyes on the congressional debates, without being assailed with " the Honorable gentleman from Massa chusetts," " my Honorable friend," &c. fcc. some half a dozen times within the compass of a short paragraph. If these gentlemen would but reflect a moment on the extreme fol ly of thus imitating the members of the En glish House of Lords and Commons, they :1 would certainly avoid it. How long will these men be satisfied with plain " Honorable? We shall have " Right Honorables" next ! N. H. Patriot. Banks.
