My mother's vi.ice ! ho often creeps
lis cadence on my lonely hours !
Like healings sent on wings of sleep,
Or dew to the ur conscious flowers.

While phasure's pulses madly fly;
But in the still, unbroken air, -
Her gentle tones come stealing hv
And years of sin and manhood flee.
And leave me at my mother's kne.

Of beauty on the whjsperirg sea,
Give still to rne some lineament . .
Of what I have been taught to be ;
My heart is harder and prrhaps
My manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's a mifdewrin the lapse
Of a few miserable years
But Nat ore's' bo,k i? even yet
With all my niurher's lessons writ.
. I have been out at eventide,
Beneath a moonlight sky oCsprirg,
When earth wes garnish e J like a bride,
And niglit had on her sylvan wing;
When bursting buds and growing grass,
- And waters leaping to the light,
And all that makes the pulses pas3
With wilder fleetings thronged the night?
When all was beamy then have 1.
With friends on whom love is flunf,
I'ike myrr on the vinJs of Araby ;
Gazed up where evening's lamp is hung.
And'when the beauteous spirit there "
Flung over its'golden chain, :
My mother'? voice came on the air,
Like ihc light dropping of the rain j
. And resting on some silver star,
t The spirit of a bended knee,
I've poured a deep and fervent prayer
Thai our eternity might be,
To rise in "heaven like stars ct night,
At.O tread a-living path of light !
We have an utter contempt for the party
spirit.that pollutes every thing it touches,
that attempts to soil with its foul breath, the
flag of our country when unfurled in" the
face of the enemy; that roams through the
ranks of our gallant little army in search of
political capital, and that carries about a
heart too narrow and contracted to embrace
the whole court ty in its sympathies. In the
field of battle we know no party; in every
brave man that rallies round the "Stars and
Stripes" we , recognize a countryman in
every gallant sohher that falls in its defence
we mourn a brother. There are no demo
crats or u lugs in the armv or navy- all are
Americans. However we may differ in
civil matters, in tire field the only difference
ought lobe, who shall be foremost in the
fight? who shall strike the enemy hardest7
We have no sympathy with that heart that
would desire to inculcate the patriotism of
the srmy witlthe spirit of party is.ti. .
Tcrbin Water Wheel.
To s wheel (whieh was invented in
France about twenty years ago, and ts Ute
ly beginning to be used here,) seems desti
ned to make an important change in the
water p.iwer of the country. There is one
now in progress in Manchester, New'
Hampshire, of only seven feet diameter,
which will givcapower of 250 horses,
while an overshot or breast wheel, 60 feet
wide, and 30 jeet diameter, would only give
a power of 150 horses. This Terbm
wheel is in the shape of a drum; the water
goes in at the top and comes out from all
parts of the circumference.

Iforse Shoeing..
My Dear Sin: I observed In the last
Planter an article upon horse shoes, that
puts me in mind of a ' circumstance from
which I derive a good deal of benefit, and
which I will relate for tho good of your
readers.
I happened several years ago, - to bo at
the blacksmith shop where 1 get my work
done, when an old gentlemen of the neigh
borhood rode up, accompanied by a negro
man with several horses that wanted shoe
ing; The smith had been lately introduced
into the neighborhood, and had great repu
diation. I offered to defer to the old gen
tleman, although he was the lasr comer, but
he was too'managing for . that ; he insisted
upon it that I should have my horse shod
"white, he looked on. Accordingly, the
smith proceeded with his operations. The
old 'man seemed to be pretty well satisfied,
until the srr,ith having fitted the shoe and
driven the nail, began to twist the end
ofF. This he' protested against, and by o
cular demonstration, showed the difference
between wringing the nail offand breaking
it by bending backwards and forwards.
In the former casevthe part of the nail in
the hoof is twisted and a round hole is cut.
which is filled only with its own dust: no
wonder the nail in such a hole weald soon
work loose. More-over, in twisting the
nail, the corner edge ts frequently presen
ted to the hoof, and does not clinch half as
well. From that time to thii, I have never
permitted my smith to 'wring a nail,' and 2
assure you I have my profit in it.
This to be sure is a small matter, but
there is not one smith in filly who is not
guilty of the error here exposed; and small
errors arc sometimes productive of serious
evils, especially, as we have heard, m the
matter of a horse shoe.

The Cherokee Difficulties.
It is known thaiCherokec commissioners
and delegates were in session at Washing
ton for some lime past, endeavoring to set
tle the rival claims of the different parties.
They have at length concluded their labors,
and made a satisfactory arrangement ol all
their difficulties.
-It has been determined lhat the present
Cherokee country belongs to the whole na
tion, and not to the Western Cherokees in
particular; and lhat the Wes'crn Cherokees
have a" claim upon iho Uni:ed States for fhe
value of an interest they had in the old
Cherokee country, east of the Mississippi,
represented to be about 450,000, which ts
to be divided among 3000 Western Chero
kees." The treaty party are to be allowed
about $53 each, a expanses of removal and
subsistence. The families of the two Rid
ges and Etias Boudinot, are to have com
pensation for property sacrificed, when they
were obliged to fly, after the murder of
those three men. John Ross ts to account
for the money received by him, and the
residue of the 85,000,000 fund is to be in
vested for the benefit i f the nation. Final
ly, the Cherokee country is not to be par
titioned at present, but ample provision is
to be made for-enabling the several parties
to ive peaceably toother. "
Sir. Dallas.
The opponents ot the Tariff in Pennsyl
vania are carrying their ill feeling to this
gentlemen in consequence of his vote it the
Senate, to an extreme. He has been hung
and burnt in etfigy in various parts of the
State. At Harrrikburg the following in
cription was placed upon his inanimate re
presentative: "The political death of George
M. Dallas Let traitors beware of the
death of a traitor Peace to his ashes
For ihe latter good wsh, Mr. Dallas is un
doubtly much obliged to his executioners,
and it is" really gratifying to perceive that
they dont carry iheir enmity beyond the
grave. On the other hand, his friends in
Philadelphia are determined, though he be
dead, to resuscitate him with kindness, as
they are making preparations to give him
a public reception on his arrival in that city,
after the adjournment of Congress.

Warehousing Bill.
The bill recently passed by the two Hou
ses if Congress, and became a law,con'.ains
the following leading provisions:.
That all duties collected under the act
passed the 13th day of August,' en titled "an
act to provide revenue from imports and to
change and modify exiiting laws," shall be
collected in cash, except the importer, a
gent or consignee, shall make entry at the
proper time, fur warehoeseing his goods.'
In that case, the goods, (but nothing less
than a whole package, bale, cask or box.)
shall be taken possession of by the collect
or of the port, and kept in some secure
public warehouse, until the importer may
desire to withdraw them ; which he can do
by paying the duties and the cost of ware
housing. But if the importer, agent, or
consignee, wishes to export the goods to
soma other country, he can, upon giving
satisfactory security to the collector of the
port, lhat the goods are really to be export
ed, and not to be relanded within the juris
diction of the United States, take them from
the warehouse, re-ship them without pay
ing the duty, but paying of course, the cost
of warehousing.
And if any importer, sgent or consignee,
let his goods stay in the warehouse twelve
months, the collector shall advertise them
and sell them at auction.and after deducting
the duty or tariff tax and all oiher expenses,
6hall pay over ihe balance to the importer
or agent, if claimed by them ; bot if no
claimant appears within ten days after the
sale, the same is to be paid into" the Trea
sury of the United States, but always liable
to the claim of the importer or owner, upon
sufficient proof being given of bis identity
as the owner,
All goods fraudulently concealed, or
moved from any public or private ware
house, are to be confiscated to the govern
ment, and the persons so offending to be
punished according to law.
It is needless to mention the other regu
lations, bars," restrictions, provisions, &c,
of a minor character.
It is said that this bill will give increased
facilities io tradp, by enabling men of smal
ler capital to compete in the importation of
goods, with the larger capitalists,and in va
nous other ways. It is aaid. again, howe
v i, lhat ihis law, will do rather an injury
than a good. But ihis is only the opinion
of a few" who may be interested
Potato Jelly.
Tho readiness with which a good sized
basin full of thick jelly may Le obtained
Irom a single moderate sized potato, is a
fact worth knowing. I have several times
repeated the experiment, and find that it
does not requue more than eight mintitea
to change a raw potato into a most.. excel. -lent
jelly, which has only to be seasoned v
with a little sugar, nutmeg or other spices,
to please the most fastidious palate. To ":"
obtain this jeify to perfection, let a potato v';
be washed, peeled and grated; , threw the -pulp
thus procured into a jug of water' and . -stir
it wll. Let this stand a fe -minutes,
and sufficient starch will Lave: accum'ula " "
ted lor the purpose required. : Pour ofTthe J
water,and keep stirrng up the starch af tho' v
bottom of the bas.n while some boiling waJ'
ter is being poured on it, and it 'will soon
and suddenly-pass to the state of a jelly.- ,
The only nicety required is be careful that -
the water is absoiuteiy boiling, otherwise
the chnnge will not take plnre. - Upon com
paring this jIly. with that horn the-starch

eating arrowroot. The difference, howev-?
er, becomes rr ore sensible when, both jel-."
lies are made palatable with sugar; &c. fur -then
both myself and another person were? a-
equally decided in our preference of thejel- '
ly irom the potato to that from the arrow-
