Begin, sweet bird's, the accustomed strain ; Come, warble loud and clear : Alas I alas ! you're weeping all, You're sobbing in my ear ! Good night; go say the prayer she taught ? "Beside your little bed ; The lips that used to bless you there Are silent with the dead ! -A father's band your-couree may guide, Amid the. thorns of life ; His care protect those sinking plants That dread the storms of strife ; But who upon your infant hearts Shall like the mother write 1 Who touch the strings that rule the soul 1 Dear, smitten flock ! Good night ! Incident of a battle. Borne English guardsmen who were in the Buttle of Waterloo, related to Haydcn, the painter the following aurcJotes of the thick est of the fight. Tttcy present war in ail iu horrors: The description of the men was simple, characteristic and poetical They said that when the life guards and cuirassiers met, it was Jike the ringing of ten thousand anvils. One-l them knew my models, Shaw and Da kin. He saw Dakin, while fighting on foot with two cuirassiers, also on toot, diviile both their heads with cuts five and s x. lie eatd Dakin rode oat, foaming at the mouih, and cheered on his troops. In the evening I e saw Dakin lying dead, cut in pieces. Da kin sat to me tor the sleeping groom on his knees in Macbeth: Another saw Shaw figliiiug iviili two cui rassiers at a time. Shaw, he said, always cleared his passage. He saw hioi take an eagle, but lost it afterwards; as when any m.tn got an eagle, all the troops near him on both sides lelV off fighting, and sel on him who had the eagle. He went on himself very well, but riding too far, was speared by a lance, and fainted away. Recovering, lie sal upright, when three or four lancers saw him. rode at him, and speared at -him till they thought him dead. H-. remembered .nothing till revived by the shaking as tliey carried hue to the yard of La Haye Sainle. There he heard some one groaning and turn ing round, saw Shaw, who said: "I am dying'; my side is torn off by a shell." His comrades told us how he had swooned away, and being revived by their taki- g him up lo be carried to Brussels at daybreak, lie saw poor Shaw dead, wiih his cheek m hand. Corporal Webster, of I he second life guar'.! saw Shaw give his first cui. As lie was getting down the rising ground in the hollow road, a cuirassier waited and gave point at his belly ; Shaw perried th-i thrust, and before the Frenchman recovered, rut him right through il his braes helmet to the chin, and his face fell off hnu like a bit of apple." Another, Hodgson, (a model, and the finest of alt, standing six feet four icches. a perfect Achilles.) charged tip to the French bag gager He saw artillery driver boys of six teen cryirg on their horses. In coming back, a whole French regiment opened and let him pass at lull jraltop, and then closed and gave him a volley, and never hit him'or horee. The first man who slopped him was an Irishmau in the French service. He dashed at him, and said 'D n you. I'll stop your crowing." Hodgson said he was frightened as he had never fought any body with sworda. Watching the cuirusseur. however, lie found he could not move his horse no quickly as he coutd ; so. Jetting go his reins, and guiding his horse with his knees, as the cuirassieur gave point at his throat. Hodgson cut hi sword hand off, and dashed his sabre through hjf throat, cutting it round and round. The first cut he gave him was on the cuiracs. which he tboyght was silver lace. The hock nearly broke his arm. " D n me, sir," he added. " now I hud found out the tvayv I soon gave it ihetn." As H idgson rode back, alter being fired at, an officer en countered him. Hodgson cut his horse at the naps, and. as ii dropped dead, .the offi cers helmet rolled off, and Hodgaon saw a bald head and white hair. The ollicer begg ed lor mercy, bi at that instant a troop ol fancers was approaching at the gallop, so Hodgson cleaved his head in two at a blow nd escaped. The recollection of the white frafra, he told us. pained htm often. Before lie got back to the British lint s a lancer offi cer chargedhim. und missing his thrust, came right on Hodgson and his horse. Hodg son got clear, and cot his head off at the neck, at one blow, and the head dropped on his barefsack, where he kept the blood stain. DIVJNE DISPENSATIONS.

LIN OLE y iMllRRAY It is not generally known that this (:prince of English Grammarians" was an American and born within the present lim its of Lebanon cotinty, Pa. He was born in the year 1745, on the Swatara, Last Hanover township, then Lancaster, now Lebanon coffnty. His father was a rmller, and followed that occupation when Lind ley was born, aftewards devoted his atten tionto mercantile pursuits, and amassed a considerable fortune in the West Indies. Lindlcy was ihe eldest of twelve children md when about seven years of are was sent o Philadelphia, that he might have the benefit of a better education than could be had at Swatara. He studied law in New York, and at the age of twenty-two was called to . the bar, where he gained the repalation of an honest lawyer." His " Grammar of the English Language" was composed in England in 17-94.-And published in the spring of 1795, many millions of copies of which have been sold. He resided in En gland 42 years, most of which time he was an invalid. He composed many other works besides his grammar. He died in 1826, in a villiag in Yorkshire, being up wards of eighty years of age. He is re presented as a christian and philanthrop ist. He left legacies to a number of relatives and friends, and sums' of money to .many religious societies. He also directed that the residue. of his property, after the death of his beloved wife (a New York lady, hid beloved and affectionate Hannah," who had been his companion for sixty years) should be devoted to pious and benevolent purposes. He was a duaker ; and was interred in a burying ground of that sect, in the city of York, " Far from friend and father land." POISONED CANDY. A Brownsville (Pa.) paper says: "On New dear's eve, Mr. William Ponleyofthis county, purchased some of those new toys, manufactured of candy, as a present for his children. The little fellows ate hearti ly of them on Sunday, and, we regret to say, two of them were in the cold embrace of death before the day passed by, and others of the family were very sick from us effects We have heard that another has died since, but did not ascertain wheth er it was Mr. Donley's or the child of an other family. We also learn the same can dy was purchased by other families, und their children have more or less been afflic ted, some seriously. The candy is said to have been manufactured in Pittsburg, and when analyzed was fjund to contain poi son." TilE TIM-WEEKLY COMMERCIAL.

By his improved method of treatment, Dr. S. can safely guarantee a speedy and perfect cure in all cases ot this com plaint. TO FEMALES.

A few days ngo died, in an obscure corner of France, one of (he claimants to ihe t ame and honors of Louis Ihe Seventeenth. Some twenty years ago the wheel of Fortune ' now here so capridus in its jerk as in Fnftice had throws two men into the same dun geon at St. "pelngle. They were both littln, round, fat raVn with a tasio for good wine and goo dinners one live! y. threwd. and sparkling, a ready talker, and ultra-liberal, and a dandy the other slow and prosy, much addicted to sentiment and roast capons!

Another jerk of the Wheel; and the two men were once more face to face. Thi.- iirne, il is in the Jloiil ile Ville. Marrast is Mayor of Pari., and hid friend are masters ol' Franco.

Irv ing. whose writings abound in pictures, which, for delicy, truth and taste,' have never been snrpaspeii. thus describes the appear ance of the bird on one of these interesting occasions : - '1 know of no sight more charming and touching than that of a yountr and timid " bride, in her robre ol' virgin white, led up trembling to the altar. When I thus behold a lovely girl, in the tenderness of her years, forsaking ihe house of her father, and the home of her childhood and", with the sim plicity, confidence, and the sweet self-abandonment, which belongs to woman, giving up all the world for the man of her choice- when I hear in the good old language of ihe ritual, yielding herself to hiin lof better for worse, for richer for poorer, in stcjtneu and u healtn, to love, honor and obey, till death do as part":-it brings to mind the ' beautiful and affecting devotion ol Ruth : ' Whither thou goest 1 will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge : thy people shall be my people. e.rd thy Gd my God.'
