THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE. Oft have I paced this lonely cell, With care-worn brow and heaving breast, And vainly seeking for gome spell To lull this troubled heart to rest ; I've searched each nock in memory ' store Have track'd my course from inlancy And call'd up friends who are no mure, Who lov'd me well, when 1 was free. I've thought to shun that chilling blast, That swept my early hopes away, And Irom the shadow of the Past, Have tried to glean a cheering ray ; I've loitered lon; on childhood's years, When kindly friends encircled roe, Supplied my warns, dried up my tears Then I was happy 1 was Iree. But weary thought returns again, And then reality appears; It only adds to error's chain, Those links that have been hid lor years, I cannot bide those guilty stains, I cannot shun my misery; Of all my ft lends not one remains, 'Tis vain to think I e'er was free. My wife, ray partner of the past, Who vowed before the holy shrine, As long as life's briel couise should !u3t, To link ber earthly lot with mine They say she has annulled that vow, And la'en my babes away from me; And even she forgets me now, Who loved so well, when I was free. My friends ihey left me one by one, Like ruthless leaves w hen summer's past, That leave the stem they rested on Alone, to bear the winter's blast ; And I alone my griel endure, E'en pity has no tear for me, And, if she had, 'twould not restore Departed days, when I was free. Yet Hope ! still faithful to the last, ( The piis'ner sees her glU'rtng rap, Ijike gems into Ms dungeon cast,) She bids me look for belter days. And the experience points a course And from temptation bids me flee, And bids me join the Temperance lorce, TLe Temp'rance Pudge will keep me free. 'Twas Alcohol, deceitful fiend '. That lured me with his essence sweet, I only knew him as a friend, I had not seen his cloven feet. But now, the scales are from my eyes, His hideous form loo plain 1 sep, To trust again whate'er his guise ; I'll spurn his path when I am liee. Theie may be some who think me gay, Ai d deem I need not pity's tear Mirth is but leaned, to hide away. The sorrow that is linking heie. And ah! they know not with what power The pris'ner (eels adversity, When at lone midnight's sleepless hour, He thinks in d.nys when he was Iree Oh' fteader, may you never feel Those pangs thai s'.in a gojliy breaM, The throbbing wound that cannot heal, The troubled mind that cannot rest, Such sorrow that no tongue can tell, Of want, and woe, and misery, The pris'ner feels in his lone cell, With heart that's ranting to be free. These lettered limbs haJ patent's care, Who showed the path of reciitude, And taught these lips to lisp a prayer, Anil ask of Heav'n my daily food ; To God my Father I will go, And daily bow the humble knee ; And seek his aid to heal my woe, To keep me now, and when I'm liee. And if Ihesc erring feet should liead, Once more upon thii world's broad stage I'll strive to earn my daily biead, From precepts in the sacred page ; I'll strive to do by other men As I would they should do by me ; And God will make me happy then, And from a prison keep me free.

He was a good grjrt of fellow, n wor thy baron, honest German, in fact, a frif nd of my father's, but he hnd one fault ; he wished to play the Priam, to become a Patriarch.

Instead of going about his business, he shut himself up in his chateau, and si t about lear ning tho names of his forty daughters. But ns he had a bad memory he could never suc ceed in retaining thrm completely. When he wanted Wilhemmina, he would call Helen; and when he wished Cauradim, his youngest daughter to spring upon his knee, ho would call through tho window for Leopoldine the oldest an old maid ol forty years. Veiy well, what did the baron do 1 lie had recourse lo all sorts of mnenoteem'c for - mula, which ended in completely confusing his mind. Ilo abandoned the plan of distin guishitig his children by their names, think- ! m? he could easily do so bv their faces. Hut i no, for in passing through the public square , daughters I of the village, he often kissed a little daugh- j "Why tho bailiffs took possession of the j ler ol some neighbor, believing that she was chateau, including the manufactory, and tho ! one of his own; and then again, sometimes j daughters scattered all over the whole uni j surprising one of his children in his orchatd, i vcisc. ho fell to nullins her ears in tho belief that "Fn-dora married a bnllot drawer; Helm he had detected some little rougue of the i o neighborhood, in the act of stealing his ap.

"The proof that the Misses Forbach had sensitive ears, is that thev hatrd their fuhpr. the moie so, as they were not able to indulge in finery ofdress, for although the baron had a hundred thousand florins, he was not able ' to purchase forty robesa seasonfor his daugh - tcrs, from the fashionable mctchants.

The result was, that his daughters nil wearing drrssrs of the same, materia! and color, wi re easily distinguisha- ble from the pirls of the neighborhood. The baton rubbed bis hands with delight, the danger of confounding his daughters with "... ? .. the villasc wenches, was now tflectually re - moved. It was a brilliant success. But as the gowns yielded to the fate of all gowns, they were distributed amon? the poor pirls of the surrounding country, and before the end nf the vrnr. the h.iron instead ot having forty daughters, seemed to have a hundnd !

The Ledger of Tuesday at contained a slight notice of the discoveiy of a huge cavern in the limestone quarries at 1 ort Ken - ncdy, Montgomery Co. On rrading the article, we kit a sudden desire to visit it, and make some acquaintance with the regions within the earth since -vc had wandered so long a so far on its oulei surface. Accordingly, on Wednesday morning, a party of four consisting of J. P. Fleming, Esq. Messrs. E. Bowen, of Lancaster, E. Chambers, of Kennett Square, and ouisclf left Phcenixvillo for tho purpose of making i 1 . 1 L.l.-l -M- .1 L 1 an exploration. A dchghltul tide through 'ho green, wood -downed hills of Valley forge, and along a high ridge, overlooking the fertile meadows of the Schuylkill, brought ! 113 an bour and a half to the little village 1 of Port Kennedy. Leaving our horses at ' the Inn, the landlord, who had immediately divined the object of pur visit, directed t to the lime quarries in the side of tbe bilT, which rises back of the village, Entering thequarry.a small aperture in the rock, revealed by a recent blast, about , fifty f below tho surlace of the earth, . showed us the opening of the cavern. We 'vere plentifully supplied with candlrs, so, striking a light, we craw let I cautiously through the narrow entrance. I be lowncss I ol mc arcoeu roc renuereu n necwainv creep on our hands and knees, though here and there little circular domes were hallowed out above us, where it was barely possible to stand unriffht. About twenty feel fiom the mouth the passage widened, and finally, rising liom our constiainca position, we stoixi in a chamber, whose dimensions were in- ' risible through the gloom, which the com- j bined light of our torches failed to penetrate : But, on going further, we found a number of stakes driven into tbe floor, bearing exiin - guished lights. These wo rekindled, and as one by one the twinkling tapers streamed , out through the darkness, trie snouuwy out- , , lines ol tnu suoierrancuu .. iud more distinct. i We mounted to the further end of the as- cending floor, and looked back on a rnngni- i hcenl chamber, nearly sixty icti in luigm, . , ...

This opened into a 'arger on, terminating in a splendid hall, of the purest white limestone, covered with sparkling incrustatious. Here we found Mr. Fleming enjoying the triumph of his discovery, and joining together in a i shout, at the ton of our voices, we made tho . ' .

Returning again to the small f u tTIU IIUT LnCI IV manv ju.auv. chamber, we tound near the top a narrow opening, throngh which with somediflknUy, Mr. Fleming entered. While we were mak ing ready to follow him we were joined by Mr. Kennedy, the proprietor ol the lime qtiariits, who, having entered the main ca vern, heard our voices and crept after us. Guaiding our lights well, we all climbed through the opening and found ourselves in a steep and irregular apartment, which ap peared to have been created by some sudden shock of the eaith. We saw the light of Mr. Fleming's torch inasoit of chasm on the left, at the bottom of which was a scanty thread of water. The ceiling above ns ter minated in points, resembling hollow eoncj and from the rock, which was sandy and crumbling, hung formation resembling ital nctilies. At the top of the hill of sand which formed the floor, we found another apcitare, which was however, too narrow to be cn- tered. so we decided to return tothe entrance . t0 procure refreshment, and tools for further exnloration.

A midst the laughter of tbe qunrrymen, we maje our way bacj t0 the hotel, procured a dinner, which the sable hostler carried after OS into the cavern, and, armed with the ne cessary tools, again entered. We dined in the grand hall, which was splendidly illum inated lor the occasion, and the viands speedi ly disappeared under a most voracious appe tite.
