tscellaneotts, FOR THE FREE PRESS, NEW YEAR. 3ddrcssed to the Brethren of Concord Lodge, No. 5S and Companions of Concord Chapter, No. 5, 7arboro May ev'ry return cf the year prove a blessing, And find you united, contented, serene; The love cf your friends, and your brothers possessing, And your working through life be a gay gil ded scene. But think on the WIDOWS and ORPHANS deserted, Anddoom'd in the wilds of affliction to roam; No kind hand extended each eve is averted. "They sigh with regret for the comforts of HOME. Oh! think to what hardships and wants they re expos d! Their journey through life, all surrounded with thorns; While the favorites of fortune in plenty re pose, And the mild blushing rose, every pathway adorns. And are they forsaken? Oh no! for their Fa ther, "Who rides in the whirlwind directeththe storm;" Protects them in need docs to himself ga ther, When the fair face of Nature, chill winters deform. Of strangers the shield, and of orphans the stay, To the meek, lowly widow, prompt help lie oft sends; Supplies all theirwants turns night into day, For the humble and lowly he ever befriends. He cheerful and gay, 'may each object look bright, Afflict not yourselves then, with care or with , sorrow; For the face that is gloomy, and clouded to night, Iay be gilded with smiles, by the dawn of to-morrow. But let not the pleasures of life so invite. That paiiv from the life that's to come you would borrow; For the form that is healthy and blooming to-night, May be laid in the grave, bv the eve of to morrow. "MAKMION. That he sometimes bleeps! after that He wakes, I 'spose to do what.' Why nab a cat, or raise a ngnt, Which makes his master, out of spite, Denounce him as a ringtail iiti, And threaten soon to hang him up. Why poor Tom should be punish'd thus, . Or why his master makes a fuss, To me seems odd but this I know, Tom's to suffer a d?y or so. Poor soul! I hope some pity yet, May reach thy master's breast, and set All matters right 'twixt you and him Aray 'scape hanging he the sin. 3 1 HALIFAX. FOR THE FREE "PRESS. To a young man of my acquaintance, who has lately taken to hard drink. Wretch! wilt thou thy fame destroy? Thine early virtues blast? Thine youthful days of sparkling joy? And die despis'd at last? In thy breast, virtue once a scat had found, But now 'tis fled; Thy name was once a gentle sound, But now 'tis dead. May'heaven grant our feeble pray Y, And grant thee rest awhile; We humbly pray thy soul may find a refuge tli ere, And we'll bestow one gracious smile. SOLON. estimates and the actual cost of the materials, lauour, cc. iuuuu their report a little before the final adjournment of the convention. It appears that offers have been made to contract for the comple tion of two hundred and eighty-six miles of the canal, including all the eastern and western, and fif teen miles of the middle sections, for three millions and a half of dol lars, on the dimensions of the Penn sylvania canal, or about four mil lions according to the dimensions contemplated in the report of the board of internal improvement. Only a little more than fifty miles of canal, or twenty-two of rail way or portage, would then remain to be completed to connect the ex tremities of the canal. FJIt THE FI1.EE PRESS. Fire! Fire! Twas that gloomy and silent hour of night, When every grave lets loose its sprite; The weary laborer now was snoring, And the cock upon his roost was crowing Both master and slave asleep were lying, When rous'd bv some who thus were crying: FIRE! FIRE! and the bell was toli'd, And along the streets the engine roll'd. All hands, though dead, from their couches sprung, All naked they, 'tween wake and sleep, Their bolted doors wide open flung, (All frantic now) to take a peep, To know, what the matter was. 'Twas Fire in truth and Fire! all sung, And the Hotel bell most dismal rung; Large flakes now shower'd thickly down, Ton every part o' the frighted town; And to the shocking scene all hands rcpair'd, Lamented, wecp'd, and gaz'd, and stared; For this was all that could be done, As the victim house was too far gone. So great was the blaze, the din, the hum, I thought, bless God! doomsday had come; But I remember'd that the Scriptures tell, Old Gab. has a trump, instead of a bell; So I rested easy upon that head, And after a little, resum'd my bed. The only spoil (as I next day learnt) Was a blacksmith shop, and forges burnt; And when all was o'er, each homeward stept, And each resum'd his couch and slept. The JVug at the Corner. EjOU the free press. A Tobacco Seller, somewhere, Has a Tom cat, so very rare, That strange to tell! he'll catch a mouse, If one dare peep about the house! And stranger yet, 'tis said he will Eat a mouse, and be saucy still. Eat it! yes, poor hungry soul, He does more he swallows it whole. This is not all that "Tom" can do, He can stand 'pon his feet and mew; And sometimes with tail rais'd high, He goes and drinks, because he's dry. Tho' strange it seem, it must be so, F'r Tom' master has said, you know, Congressional Com mil lees . The U. S. Telegraph, printed at Washington City, remarking on the organization of Committees in Congress, states that Mr. Carson, of N.C. in (he House, and Mr. j Randolph of Va. in the Senate, have both been exempted from serving on any Committee the firt it is presumed for his speech on the Milliard Table, in the President's House; the second for his known hostility to the administration the following passages arc extracted: "The note of preparation, in tlio organization of the Committees in t he Houses?, lias prepared us for desperate in o ve menu. In the Senate, the old establish-; ed parliamentary rule, that each Committee shall choose its Chair man, has been broken down, and transferred to the whole bodv. The subsequent, voting proved that thUs was a concerned movement. There was an organized corps, who moved in solid phalanx, coun ting t v i : .n t y - t 1 1 1 : i : i : . It is also easy to see that all the changes have been. made to favor! power that the claims of the a blcst men of the Senate, of the States of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Nor tit Carolina, and of the West, have been disregarded. Why was the venerable Republican, Mr. Macon, displaced from his sit uation as Chairman of the Com mittee of Foreign Relations'! He has had the confidence of Madison and Monroe, and was the compat riot and fellow-labourer with Jef ferson, lie was one of those faith ful pilots who steered through the storm of '98 and we rejoice that he yet lives to command in the more perilous storm of 182G. .lell'erson's warning voice calls loudly from the grave; and the living example, of Macon and Randolph will arouse the Repub licans of the North and the South, the East and the West, to action. All this management, like the Alien and Sedition law of '98, will tad of its purpose. The voice of truth cannot be suppressed. ' An independent press and an intelli gent people, cannot be thus put to silence. They will speak and will be heard. Tornado. The neighborhood of Leading Creek, in Ohio, was visited on the 29th of October by a violent tornado, which blew down the academy, the houses ofl Messrs. Benedict and Kemble, unroofed others, destroyed fences, fields of corn, orchards, cattle, and almost every thing that it passed. A man by the name of John Sex ton was carried off by the -wind, and had not been heard of twelve days afterwards. iiuuaua ui me .egisiaiure, a liberal m portion of the Profession-!
