Rap! rap! the measured sound has grown A quick and morry clamor, v. Now shape tho sole j now deftly curl j ‘ Iho glossy vamp around i t ; ^ Aiul bless the while tho bright eyed girl Whose gentle fingers bound i t ! *; For you along the Spanish Main J A hundred keels are ploughing : ^ For yon the Indian on the plain * p 1113 laSS0 COi* ’s l^rowing j For you deep ulens with hem lock dark The woodman’s firo is lighting; For you upon the oak's grey hark Tho woodman’s axe is smiting. For you from Carolina’s pine The resin gum is stealing, For you the dark oyetl Florentine Her silken slcoin is reeling : For you the dizzy gotlmrd roams His ruggid Alpine ledges ; For yon round all her shepherd homes Bloom England’s thorny hedges! The foromost still by day or night On moated mound or heather, ■Where’er the need of trampled right Brought toiling men together, Where the free burghers from the wall Defied the mail-clad master, Than your’s at Freedom’s trumpet call, No craftsmen rallied faster ! L e t foplings sneer, let fools deride, Yo heed no idle soorner, Free hands and hearts are still your pride, And duty done your honor. Yo dare to trust for honost i’amo Tho jury Timo empannels, And leave to Truth each noble name Which glorifies your annals. Thy songs, Hans Sach, are living yet, In strong and hearty German, And Bloomfield’s lay, and Gifford's wit, And the rare good sense of Sherman ; Still from his book a mystic seer, The soul of Behrnen teaches, And England’s priestcraft shakes to hoar, Of Fox’s leathern breeches. The Foot is yours : where’er it falls It treads your well wrought leather, On earthen floor, in marble halls, On carpet, or on heather. Still there the sweetest charm is found Of matron grace or vestal’s, And Hcbo’s foot bore nectar round Among tho old celestials ! Rap, r a p !—your stout and bluff brogan, With footstops slow nnd weary, May wander whero the sky’s blue spun Shuts down upon tho Pramo. Your slippers shine on beauty’s foot, By Saratoga’s fountain, Or lead, like snow flakes falling mute, The dance on Catskill mountain ! The red brick to the mason’s hajnd, The brown earth to the tiller’s ; The shoe in yours shall wealth command, Like fairy Cinderiila’s ! As they who shunned the household maid, Beheld the crown upon her, So all shall see your toil repaid With hearth and home and honor !

'A l i f t OtVfjV SON. 15Y MRS. JANE WEAVER. [NUMBER 183s n V L- Mr. Harcourt sat alone in his study. Tho walls were crowded with book-cases filled with ;]le mriSev tomes o fthe law ; his table was covered with papers of importance; and a pile of noios, which had just been paid him by a client, lay close at his elbow,' _ The costly lamp that hung above his bead threw its light full on the upper part of his face, bringing the massy brow out into bold relief, and giving additional sternness and promise to his cold and inflexible fea tures. All at once he rang the bell. “ Is master James arrived V ’ he said sharply when tho servant entered. “ Yes, sir.\ In a few minutes the door of the study opened a- gnin, and the lawyer’s only sou stood In the presence of his father. He was a youth of about seventeen, fair and manly to gaze upon, but with that look of dis sipation in his countenance which mars the noblest beauty. An expression of feminine softness and irre solution in his face, contradicted the proud and self- willed glance of his dark glowing eye. He seemed indeed,to judge from his looks, to be wholly a creature of impulses. “ So you have been in another scrape, sir,’’ said the old man harshly. The youth bowed his head and bit his lip. “ It cost me four hundred dollars to pay for the c a r nage that was broken, and the horse Foundered in your drunken frolic. W liat have you lo 6 ay to that, sir?’’ The young man’s eye wandering irresolutely a- round the room, without daring to meet his father’s face. Nor did he make any reply. How long is this to last ?” said his parent in a more angry tone. Have I not told you, again and a- gain, that I would disown you if these things went on? You a r e a disgrace, sir, to me—a blot to my name. Thank God, your mother did not live to see you grow u p !’’ The youth had been evidently nerving himselfto bear his father's rebukes with as much indifference and coolness as possible ; but at the mention of his mother’s name his lip quivered, and he turned away his head to hide the tears that gathered in his eyes. Had that stern, irritable olu man known how to fol low up the chord he had struck, hia son might yet have been s a v e d ; hut ho was a hard, correct man, unaccustomed to make allowances for difference of character, and he resolved to drive his son into obe dience by the strong arm of parental authority. “ You turn away to laugh, you rascal do you?” said he, enraged. “ You believe, because you are my child, I will not disinherit,you. But I would cast you off if you were ten times nty son; and I made up my mind to day to tell you at once to go. There is a pile of note 9 —five hundred dollars — 1 believe : take it, and to-morrow I will make it a thousand, before you depart. But remember, thi9 is the last night you shall under crowd, for fhe trial wits one of unusual interest, * ! ^ had collected together large numbers. '■ He smtlud #ff fably to all, and taking hia seat, ordered the bU'meM 10 proceed. The prisoner was brought in, a la r ^ e , bold, fine-looking man, but lltO jUUgC, OCCUpiud Wiljt a case he had heard the day before, and in ’which' h s was writing out ah opinion, gave little notice to tho criminal, or indeed to any of the proceedings, u n $ 10 usual formalities had been gone through, and the serious part of the evidence began to he heard* Then th#, llie first time, directed n keen glance;tft L I T * * ‘I SurelY I have seen that face before,’’ hr. tnmrwt . ^ ° .couW not renlember where j «nd he turned to scrutinize the jury box. r#Z 'L Cp T r WaS ^ Cl°ar on0, Tho testimony whan S t a maas o1'evidence that was irre sistible. I WO men swore positively to the person ot the accused as that of one ofthe robbers; and the juFv immediately gave a verdict of guilty, 0 fter a bitterly severe charge against the prisoner from the bench.— The punishment was death. > ’ On hearing the verdict, the prisoner set bis month firmly, and drew himself to his full height. But, be fore sentence was pronounced, be asked leaye to say a few words. He did it in so earnest atone that the judge immediately granted it, wondering that a m an. who looked so courageous should 6 top to beg for his nfe\ ' .. . i :x* % \ “ I acknowledge my crime,”, said the prispiMf, “ nor do I seek to poliate it—nor either do I a s ^ Cur tnercy. 1 can face death; I have faced ita d o o e a times. But I wish to say a word on the case lhat brought me lo this place.” , • „ / K Every neck was strained forward to catch’ tba words of tbe speaker; even t he judge leaned over the bench, controlled by an interest for which he could not account. - “ I was born of respectable, nay, distinguished p a rents,\ said the man, “ and one at least was an an- el. But she died early, and. my father, immerfed in ambitious schemes, quite forgot me, so that I was left to form my own associations, which, therefore, were naturally not all of the most unexceptionable kind. By and by, my irregularities began to attract my father's notice. He reproved me too h a r s h ly .^ JLlecollect, I was spoilt by indulgence. I soon com- iniited another youthful folly.- M -ypunishm eptthis time, was more severe and .quite as ill advised as be fore. I was a creature of impulse, pliabje either for good or bad—and my only surviving parent fell into the error of attempting to drive me, when he should have persuaded me with kindness. T h e fact is, neither of us understood each other. W e ll, matters went on thus for two years and more; I w as extrav agant, rebellious, dissipated; my parent was hard and unforgiving. . “ At length,” continued the speaker, turning full on the judge until their eyes met, “ at-length, one eve ning, my parent sent for me into the study; 1 .bad been guilty of some youthful folly, and ,havjng threat- spend under my roof—tbe last cent of my money ®ned me about a fortnight before with disinheritance you shall ever touch.” | ' / * again vexed, him, he now .told me that henceforth W h en his mother was alluded to the youth had al most made up his mind to step forward ask pardon for all his evil courses and promise solemnly hereaf ter to live a life of strict propriety ; but the sharp nnd angry lone in whic!) Mr. Harcourt pursued the con versation, and the words banishment with which it clo sed, seemed to make him irresolute. He colored, turned pale, and parted his lips as if to speak; then he clasped his hands in supplication ; but the cold, contemptuous look of his father checked him, and he remained silent.

All the seats being occu pied, one of the softer sex, fat, fair and portly, seated herself on ihe rudder head, which protruded about the height of a seat through the deck. The boat starting, her seat kept moving alternate ways. The passen gers near her were much surprised by her sudden chan ges of countenance from the most rosy red to a pallid hue, and sundry strange and eccentric gyrations oflter hands and feet, white the perspiration rau in rivulets down her ample face. At last her agony found vent in words; “ Oil, what is the matter with myself?*— Is it the vertebra) (query vertigo) that’s on the top of roe?” putting ono of her hands on her head. One of (lie passengers inquired if she was ill. She continued her soliloquy, getting more and more agi tated as her seat moved more rapidly. May be it’s •otne murthering majonzer (query magnclizer,) play ing his tricks upon a daceru female, for here 1 am, thwisting and turning, and it’s tneself don’t know the tason of it.” A n exquisite who had observed tho good woman take her scat, drawled out, “ L a , ma’tn, it is (inly tho head of tho rudder that coines up through tho stern.” She didn’t wait to hear another word, but, with a leap that would uot hove disgraced the best ground and lofty tumbler, broke thro’ the crowd like a quarter horse, scattering it right and left.” A ; 6 by my 20 D.

H e felt that the pun ishment wasdisproportioned to the offence, even great as it had been. He took the notes which his parent held out lo him crumpled them hastily together, and flingingtbem scornfully back turned and left the room. The next instant the street door closed with a heavy clang. “ H e has not gone, surely ?” said the father, start- led-for a moment. But his brow darkened as his eye fell on the notes. “ Yet let him go—the heartless villian—he is hereafter no son of mine. Better die childless than have an heir who is a disgrace to your name. Did I not do my duty to him ?\ Ay! old mon that is tho question. D id you do your duty to him ? W ere you not harsh when you should have heen lenient—did you not neglect your son for years after his mother’s death, careless of what kind of associates he consorted with—and when he had been led astray, did you not, in total disregard of his wilful character, the result ofyour own indulgence, did you not, wo say, attempt to coerce him by threats, when you should have drawn him by the gentle chord of love ?—Look into your own h e a rt; see if you are not just as unreasonable as your son. Can a charac ter be reformed in a day ? Your profession should have taught you better, old man. But the boy has gone from your roof forever, for well he knows how inflexible is your stern, self-righteous heart: and, in- ded, with a portion of your own pride, he would soon er cut off his right arm than solicitor accept your aid. Yes ! take up that mass of complicated papers, and endeavor to forget the past scenes in their absorbing details; but yours must be a heart of adamant, if, in despite ofyour oft repealed reasoning, you canjustify your harshness to it. Remember the words you have uttered. They may apply to more than you ,—-\ A s you have sown so shall you r c a p j\ ’ Jaincs Harcourt went forth from his father’s house in utter despair. Pride had supported him during the last few moments of the interview, and had met' his stern parent’s malediction with bitter defiance; but when tho door had closed upon him, and he turned to take a last look at the window which was once his mother’s, the tears gushed again into his eyes, and covering liis face in his hands, lie sat down on o neigh boring step and sobbed convulsively. “ Oh ! if she had been living,\ he said, “ it would-never have come to this. She would not havo left me to form associa tions with those who wished to make a prey of mo-— she would not havo galled me by stern, and often undoserved reproaches—sho would not have turned mo from my house, with no place whither to go, nnd the temptations around me on every sido. Oh ! my mother,” he said casting liis eyes to heaven, “ look down on me and pity your poor boy.” At that instant the door of his father’s house open ed, as if some one was about to come forth. A ’mo- mentary hope shot through him that his parent had relented.’. But no! it was only a servant wh'o had been called to close the shutters. Ashamed to be recog nised, the youth hastily arose, turned a corner, and disappeared. Years rolled on. The lawyer rose in wealth and consideration ; honors were heaped profusely on him he became a member of Congress, a Senator, a Judge. His sumptuous carriage rolled through the streets dai ly, 10 bear him to and from court. An invitation to liis dinners was received in triumph, they were so so leot. In every respect Judge Harcourt was a man to bo onvicd, But was I 10 happy? He might h’avc been, reader, into the world. • F ro m th at hour,’ the prisoner, speaking rapidly and with great eino*- tion, “ I was desperate. 1 went out fronvhi* dpor A homeless, penniless, friendless b o y . . -My former -as sociates would have shrunk from m e, even i f I had not been too proud to seek them .

T h e confusion that occurred in the court-house, when it w a s found that the judge had been taken suddenly ill, a 9 the physician said, by a stroke o f apoplexy, led to the postponem ent of the prisoner** sentence; and before the next session o f the court, the ■ culprit had received a conditional pardon, the-re*ult, it was said, of the-m iiigatingcircum stance* w h ich he had urged so eloquently on his trial.
