The dust lay thick on the loaded leares, The roses that opened Loo soon fell fast ; The pleasant screen the woodbine weaves, Was stunted and shrunk in the eastern blast; Aad there was not a mist Ute hope to beguile With a promise of rain in the cloudless air, ' And the heavens looked down wiUi a brightened smile, Like the look of a beauty on Lore'* despair.

What is money ? D'ye give it tip ? It is dew in the morning and mist at night.— Ro man Citizen. Jones ? The-husband throws an angry lopk upon his wife—mutters something that fihe cannot understand, and then turns away and leaves the room. ' It is too bad .\ scolds Mrs. Jones to her self, commencing the work of-restoring to or der the drawer that her husband had thrown'l all lopsy lurry. ' I never saw such a man ! |-He has no. kind of order about him—and then if I speak a word, he goes off in a huff. But I'll not have my things forever in confusion.' In the mean timp, Mr. Jones in a pet, IfirvBB 7 Are hrnreeiand goes to\ The\ wtorrj with out a clean pocket- handkerchief, for which he had been in search. Half the afternoon passes before he gets over his ill humor, and then he does not feel happy. Mrs. Jones is by no means comfortable in mind. She is sotTy\ she spoke\p roughly, although she does not acknowleuV» even to herself, that she nas done wrong, for every now and then she utters, half aloud, some censures against the careless habits that were annoying and inex cusable. They had been married five years, nnd nil that time Mrs. Jones had complained, but to no good purpose. Sometimes the husband would get-angry, and sometimes he would laugh nt his wife—but-he made no ef fort to reform himself. Mr. Jones, why will you do so V —said you will forgive me, I will promise not to of fend you again.' All this i s new. Both Mr. and Mrs Jones felt surprised at themselves -and each other. He had offended and. she-did not get angry ^shehnd-beeTr^tmnoyed; and-htrwas-Teall.y-, sorry for what he had done. Light broke into both their minds, and both made an in stant resolution, to be more careful in futnre ol their words' arid actions rowurjs uac.li other ,—and ihey were more careful. When Mr. Jones offended, as he still too-often did, ,his •wife checked the instant impulse she fek to upbraid him. H P perceived thjs. and ann're Mrs. Jones, on the evening oAh e same day. ' Yon are the most trying man alive.' ' Pity you hadn't a chance to try another,' retorted Mr. Jones, sarcastically. The offence given was a careless over turning of Mrs. Jones' wutk buaket, mid lire- scattering of needles, cotton, scissors, « ax and' a dozen little etceteras on the floor. The reply of Mr. Jones hurt his wife, it suuuiwl IUJ1.1V unkind;—P|o hod brought horoe- a new book which he intended reading, but the face of his wife looked so grave after the overturning of die w\ork' basket, that ht? felt no disposition to read to her, but contented himself with enjoying the book alone. It must be said, that Mr Jones was a very trying man indeed, as his wife had alleged. He could open closets and drawers as handy as any one, but the thought of shutting either never entered his mind. The frequent re proofs of his «ife, such as — ' Had you any doors in the house in which you were raked ?' or Please to shut the drawer, will you Mr. Jones ?' or Yon.are tho most disorderly man in ex istence,' or You are enough to try the patience of—a saint, Mr. Jones,' produced no good effect.— In fact he seemed to grow worse every day, instead of better. The natural habils\ o f \or der and regularity which his wife possessed, were not respected in the least degree. He drew off his boots in tho parlor and left ihem in the middle of the floor—put his hat upon the piano instead of hanging it upon the rack in the passage—tumbled her drawers when ever he went to them—left his shaving appa ratus on the dressing table or bureau— splashed the water about and soiled the wall papetin washing, and in spite of all that could be said to him, would neglect to take the soap out of the basin—spattered every thing around him wirh blacking when he brushed his boots, and did a hundred other things that gave his wife a world^of trouble, and annoyed her severely, and kept her scold ing at him nearly nil the time. This; scold ing worried him a good deal, but never for a single moment made him think seriously about reformirfg his bad habits. ». One day he came in to dinner. It was^ a hot day. Ho went up into the chamber where his wife was sitting, and threw him self into a large rocking chair—took off bis hat and tossed it over upon the bed right in the midst of half a dozen lace collars newly done up, and kicked off his boots with such energy that one of them landed upon the bu reau, and the other in the clothes basket, soiling a white dress«-just from the ironing table. Poor Mrs. Jones was grievously tired The husband expected a storm, but no storm burst forth. He looked at his wife as she lifted his hat from the bed and put it on the mantle p\ec.e and took his bdots and placed them-in a closet from which she brought out his slippers and placed them beside him, but he did not understand the expression of her face exactly, nor feel comfortable about it Mrs. Jones did not seem angry but hart.— After she had handed him his slippers, she took the soiled dress from the. clothes basket, ar_»rhirh.ihn hnrl F pr,^f flfl'l'ly \ hi|lf hour at the ironing table, and attempted to remove the dirt which the boot-had left upon it. But she tried in vain. The pure white muslin was hopelessly soiled. ond_would have to go to the washing tub before it would be again fit to wear. ' If you knew, Henry,' she said in a voice that touched hor husband's feelings, as she laid aside the -dress,' how much trouble you- give me sometimes, I am sure you would be more particular.' L ' Do I really give you much trouble, Jane V Mr. Jones asked, as it a new Me\a\1nnf'brokptr in upon his mind. ' I am sure I am sorry for it!' * Indeed you do. If you would only be more thoughtful, you would save 1 me a great deal. I shall have to wash out the dress my self, now the washerwoman is gone.^and I can't trust Sally with it. I spenT nearly half an hour ironing it^to day, hot as it is.' ' 1 am very sorry indeed, Jane. It wis a careless trick in mei I roust confess—and if cialing her self-denial, compelled hinjself in consequence^ to be more orderly in his habits. A few years wrought so great a change in Mr. Jones that, to- use a hyperbole, he hardly knew himself--He could shut a closet door as well as open it—could get a handkerchief, or any thing else from a -drawer, without turning it upside down ; could hang his hat upon the rack, and put his boots away when he took them off. In fact, he'could be ns orderly as any one, and without feeling that it involved any great self-denial tb do so. tyncii law versa a JErcar-Prcssr-- All the accounts agree in representing the ex citement in Lexington' and vicinity as most in tense. Mr Clay's indignant anstver loalie Cnni- rqiltee appointed bv the meeting held on the 14th ull., to «,t,oU \he discontinuance of his paper ve ry naturally excited ihe rage ot his enemies The senior editor ol\ the Louisville Journal, who wsr; i n Lexington, wrote to his paper on the 15th as follmva* \ During the whole forenoon of to-day the popular excitement was very high.

Although I regard slavery as opposed to natural right, I consider law and its inviolate - observance, in all cases whatever, as the only safeguard of my own liberty and the liberty ol others. I therefore have not, ano will not, give my sanction to any made of freeing the slaves, winch does not confnrm strictly lo the'laws and constitution of my State. And a s I a m satisfied that there is no power under the present consti tution, by which slavery can be reached, I go for a Convention. In a Convention, which is politi cally omnipotent, I woul.l say that every lemale slave born after a certain day nnd year should be free at the age of twenty-one. This, th course of time, would gradually, nnd at lust, make our State truly free. I would further say that, after the expiration of thirty years, more or less, the Stale should provide a fund, either from her own resources, or from her poition in lhe public lands, fiir the purchase of the existing generation of slaves, in order that the white laboring portion nfotir community might be as soon ns possible freed from the ruinous competition of slave labor. The funds sboujd be applied nfier this manner: Commissioners shall he appointed in each county who i shall on oath value all slaves that shall be voluntarily presented lo them for that purpose.— To the owners of these slaves shall be issued, by the proper authorities, scrip bearing interest at the rate of six per cent, to th e amount of the value of their slaves, and to the redemption of snid scrip, principal and interest. By tins plan the present habits of our people would not-be suddenly broken in up'on, whilst at the same time we believe that it would bring slavery to almost utter extinction iu our Stale Willi the'next thirty yenr«. With regard to the free blacks, I would not go Tor fbrcihle expulsion, but I would encourage by all the pecuniary resources that the Stale had to spare, a voluntary emigration to such countries nnd climates asNnture seems particularly to have designed them. As minors, worpen, foreigners, denizens, anil di vers other classes of individuals are - , in all well regulated governments, forbidden the elective franchise, so I see no good reason why the blacks, until they become able to exercise the right to vote-with proper discretion, should b'e admitted lo the right ofsuffrage,.* '\Sufficient for the day- is the evil thereof.' \The lime might come with succeeding generations when there would be no objection on the .part of ihe whites, anfl none on lhe account of disqualification of the blacks to their being admitted to the same nuliticfil p'aiform ; but let after generations act for themselves. Tlie iJea if amalgamation and paid equably is proven lo be unlrne and absurd. It may be said by some, what right would a Con vention have to liberate the unborn ? They who ask equity, the lawyers say, themselves must do equity, and while the slaveholders have rights, they must remember lhe blacks aUr» have rights; rand surely in lire compromise which we have proposed between the slave and ihe slaveholder, the slaveholder has the Lion's share. We have thus, in a very rambling.a'rtd feeble, unsatisfactory manner, given 'something of an The first meeting, it will be recollected, was held on Thursday,\ the J4th inst.

On Saturday Mr. Clay issued an_Ad\ dress explanatory of his objects. [Inserted above] On Sunday Mr. O. im>ued still onuther addreis&jyhich we.have not seen, but in which, according (o the Louisville. Journal, be stated that he had had the typhoid fever fiir thirty three days ; that his brain during that time had been almost incessantly affected ; and that he was then unable either to hold a pen or pull a trigger. In tlint document he reilernled most strongly his previous protestations, lhai the language ot l hls newspaper had been grossly misrepresented, Tlie-Journal says*-- - - - ' O n Sunday evening, Mr. Clay, Vdio it was understood, was too, ill to sit up iu his bed, and considered doubtful, had a large number of load ed muskets and other deadly weapons, with which he had intended lo defend his office, re moved from that building.

LEXINGTON , August Sth, 1845. FELLOW-CITIZENS OF LEXINGTON, AND COOW- TV OF FAVETTE : Being unable from the stale of my health, to 'be present at your meeiing, nnd even unnble to hold a pen, having been sick thn- y -five days will/the tvphoid fever, I dictate to an amanoensis, a few lines for your just consider- anon. Having been lhe unwilling cause, in purl, »f the present excitement in-mv county, and feel ing as I do, respect fur the safely and happiness of others as well asmy own, I voluntarily come forward nnd^do all I crinscientiously can do for yous quiet and satisfaction. I treateTl the com-- munica.tion from the private caucus with burning contempt, arising not only from their assuming.! over me a power which would make me a slave, but from n sense- t)f the deep personnl indignily with which their unheard of assumptions were attempted- u> be carried into execution. But to you—a far differently orga nizcdlxTfly nnrrcnnsti- lutional assemblage of citizens— I feel lhai it is just nnd proper that I should answer nt your bar; and as I a m not in n state of beulth to carry on an argument or vindicate properly my own rights, I shall voluntarily, before any action is taken on your part, make such explanation as*J deem just and proper. During tny sickness, my paper has been con flicted by some friends. The leading article in lhe last number, which I attr told is the great cause of the public disquietude, I have never read, because at the time it was put to press I could not have undergone the fatigue ofreading such o paper through. Although it was read over to meat the lime, yet-I-nm fully persuaded now, that had I have been in health it would not have been admitted into my columns. But 1 felt the less hesitancy in admitting it, because it has been my avowed policy heretofore lo admit free dis cu'ssion upon the subject of slavery, by slavehol- \era ilienmelves, and the author of this article is largely in that kind of properly. You have seen before this time that the course ofpohry which I commend, myself, to tlie Slate, is widely different in many essential points, to this author 's views, The article written by myself, nnd published in the same paper, was written a few days aflerthe leader was in type, and which has also been the cause of so much dissatisfaction, the justice of which, to some extent, I a m willing lo nck/iowl edge, 1.assure you upon the honor of a man, it was never intended lo mean, or to bear the con' struction which my enemies have given it. 1 [was pursuing ihe. reflections of my own mind Svithouttbinkihgofthe-misconstruction that could \be pu t upon my language Had 1 been in the -vigor of health, I should have avoided lhe objectionable expressions, for by sharply-guarding against the cavils of my op ponents, t would best guard at the same lime against anything which could be consiritced of an incendiary character. I canmil-say itiat the paper from the beginning, has been conducted in the matyiijr (.could have wished. The cause of this it is n'olnntv necessary forme to mention jsfictrr -tWwe ^ty-fr<)m-pa *Bl— expi ion, arose from the desire to make both'parties political capital. And you will see also, when the excitement is Worn off, that-.therc have been many selfish purposes sought to be accomplished nt tlie expense of' your peace and mine by men who are professing to be actuated by nothing but atrintic motives, 1 .patriotic motives. i *.. o .

This, yon per ceive, will very much narrow the ground ; foriny plan of emancipation\ which Iputforth a few days 1 ago, fsof the most gradual character. My other views put forth there also, are auch as I learn are not a t all offensive lo the great mass of our people. By Ibis cows?! expect m achieve two objects, to enable me l o carry on the advocacy ofl those principles and measures which I deem ofj vital importance to our Slate without mnlesia- tion and without subjecting the people lo ihe ap prehensions and excitement which are now un happily upon us. You may properly n«k, per haps, why wa s not this thing done before ?
