THE STRANGERS

Where is the youth, that came to us one morn, Wib grief and sorrow written on his brow; With looks distressed, dejected, and forlorn, And asked for pittance, QL where is he now ?

We asked him why so wretched, he appeared, Since hut a youth, scarcely twenty -one; He said the fates whom he once revered, Had proved the tyrant to his only son.

He cameto me one morn with looks of fire, And hade me quickly from his presence flee; That threat at once my bosom did inspire, "Then I resolved, henceforth I would be free.

I took what money I could get, and tied A change of clothing, in a little sack ; Then forth I went with crushed and humbled pride And found ine soon, upon the Boston track.

I reached the city tired, and late at night, All unacquainted with that world of sing A youthful stranger blessed at first my sight, And kind I THOUGHT Him when he asked me in.

To think a stranger should such interest take; But Oh ! the horrid sight that met my view, At once to reason did my soul awake.

I quickly found it was a demon's plot, To cause my ruin, and my soul dehase; I tried in vain to leave the loathsome spot. But those vile beings laugh'd me in the face

Come drink they said and let os merty be, . But Irefused, and still they urged me more, Till I cousented, and am what you see ;

They got my money, drove me from the door.

Now, I am houseless, poor, and beg for bread, I have no money, friends, nor clothes to wear, I know not where to night to lay my head, Nor, doth that cruel man, my father care.

They have some very tall orators out west, as the following extract from an ora- tor will sufficiently show. It was delivered on the 4th of July, at Lancaster Wisconsin Territory. The speaker after stating that Europe was no whar: that she was a mere obsolete idea in comparison to us, proceed- ed in this fashion :- If young America then in the cradle, strangled the British Lion, and afterwards bucked John Bull into the briny gulf of Mexico, with what ease can our country, now in the giant : strength of manhood plant its flag on the shores of the Pacific, seazed Quebec and Gibralfer,

A young countryman, lodging in a well filled boarding horse, was last week troubl- ed with the tooth-ache. His face was very much swelled, and he asked a fellow board- er for a remedy.

'Will they well I'll try to-night.'

About midnight every nightcap in the house was aroused by a noise of a very peculiar character in the verdant gentle- man's room. The noise continued for an hour, when a committee of two was ap-

The true meaning of the prescription was told to him, and he suddenly retired,

MISCELLANY.

THE THREE SHARPERS.

A peasant was conducting a goat to Bagdad; he was mounted on a mule, and the goat followed him with a bell hung round his neck -Three young bucks ob- served him, and one of them pr posed an even bet that he would take the goat with- out the coutryman's knowledge, notwith- standing the tinkling of the bell. 'Done,' said the second, Sand at the same time I will lay you a wager that I will steal from the fellow the mule he rides up- on, without exciting his suspicion.

The sharper agreed, and the countryman stripped himself and jumped with much al- acrity into the well, the sharper saw that example should ever be recollected.

he had no time to lose, and immediately took to his heels with his clothes. The poort peasant felt all round the bottom of the well to no purpose, and then raising

'That must be a difficult task indeed,' observed the third, but I will engage to take all the clothes upon his back, and car- ry them off without his trying to hinder me! These proposals being mutually agreed to, the first commenced his task, which was to steal the goat. Having dexterous- ly loosened the fastening to the bell, he ceal his shame, and relate the circumstan- ces to his affectionate wife, the only conso- lation he received from her was, " that from the king on his throne to the shep- herd on the plains, two thirds of the human race owed the greatest part of their vexa- tions of life to imprudent confidences.' The next day he not only received back his animals and clothes, but in one pocket he found the full sum he so much coveted, namely : ten pieces of gold. slipped it from the" goat's neck, tied it to the mule's tail, and made off with the goat, undiscovered. The peasant hearing the tinkling of the bell, never doubted but that the goat followed. However, happening to look around him sometime after, he was strangely surprised at missing the animal which he was to sell at the market. He now made inquiry of every passenger, in hope of hearing of his lost goat. At last the second sharper accosted him and told him he had seen a man down the next lane THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. precipitately, dragging along a goat by the hind legs. The peasant thinking he could run faster than his mule could carry him, instantly dismounted and requested the young fellow to hold his mule, while he set off in full speed in pursuit of the thief. Af- ter exhausting himself in running, without getting a right of the man or goat, he re- turned, quite spent and almost breathless to thank the stranger for taking care of his mule, when, to add to his misfortune before his mule and the keeper had both vanished. are overjoyed to be able to nail a coat to

part of the road he knew he must pass Here he sent forth his lamentable cries and made such bitter wailing, thht the pea- sant was touched with commiseration as he approached him, and reflecting on his own misfortunes, found himself disposed to listen to the afflictions of others. As he appear- ed to be overwhelued with grief, he thus addressed him:

How can you take on so piteously? Surely your misfortunes are not so great as mine; I have just lost two animals, the value of which is more than half my sub- stance; my mule and my goat might in time have made my fortune.

TO OUR READERS,

On the first of June, 1845, we shall en- deavor to enlarge our paper to nearly DOUBLE ITS PRESENT SIZE. To in- crease the circulation of the paper, we shall charge but ONE DOLLAR A YEAR which will be the cheapest paper in the State of Massachusetts.

We feel compelled to make this improve ment because the Eagle has received at the. hands of the public such a kind reception. It is our desire to give you a paper well worthy your confidence and support. We commemced small, becuse there was a risk to run in getting subscribers; and as we have before said, not knowing whether we could find such matter as would be inter- esting and acceptable. But as our sub- scription list is filling up so rapidly, we have engaged the services of many able and experienced writers, who will com- mence their labors on the enlargement of this paper. We have, at considerable ex- pense obtained the assistance of an Author of some note to furnish us, every week with an ORIGINAL STORY.

Our friends will bear in mind that to do this, it will require much of the "where- with,"and will not be slow in giving us a list of subscribers unequalled by any other paper in Essex County.
