O Saw ye the rose of the East’
In the valley of Sharon that grows?
Ye daughters of Judah, how blest
To breathe in the sweets of my rose!
Come, tell me if yet she’s at rest
• In her couch with the lilies inwove ;
Or if wantons the breeze with her breast,
For my heart it is sick for my love.
a
I charge you, ye virgins unveil’d,
That stray ’mong the sycumdre trees,
By the rose and the hinds of the field,
That ye wake not my love till she please.
The garden with flowers is in blow’
And rosesunni'mbcr’d are there;
Then tell how they love we shall know,
For the daughters of Zion are fair 1”
3
A bed of frankincense her cheek,
And wreath of sweet myrrh is her hand;
Her eye the bright gem that they seek
By the rivers and streams of the land ;
Her smile from the morning she wins ;
Her teeth are the lambs on the hill p
Her breasts two young roes that are twins,
And feed on the vallies at w ill.
4
As the cedar ’mong trees of the wood,
As the lily ’mid shrubs of the heath,
As the tower of Damascus that stood
• Overlooking the hamlets beneath ;
As the moon i hat in glory we see
’Mid the stars and the planets above,—
Even sc among women is she,
And my bosom is ravished with love!
6
Return with the evening star,
And our couch on Amana shall be;
From Shinar and Hermon afar
Thou the mountains of leopards shall see.
O, Shulamto, turn to thy r< st,
Wheri the olive o’ershadows the land ;
As the roe of the desert make haste,
For the singing of birds is at hand !

There is a dangerous silence in that hour,
A stillness which leaves room for the full

To open all istelf, without the power
Os caliing wholly back its self-control;
The silver light which, hallowing tree and

Sheds beauty and deep softness o’er the

Breathes also to the heart, and o’er it
throws
A loving languor, which is not repose.
’Tis sweet to see the evening star appear ;
’Tis sweet to listen as the night winds
creep
From leaf to leaf; ’tis sweet to view cn high
The rainbow, based on ocean, span the

’Tis sweet to hear the watchdog’s honest

Bay deep-mouthed welcome as we draw
near home;
Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark
Our coming, and look brighter when we
come:

One Mr9 Townsend lived in the
snme houKe*ln which one Peck kept a
{rrocery-store, that was principally
served by Mrs Peck and her daugh
ter, Ann. Mrs Townsend was a
pretty good customer to Mrs Peck
and her daughter Ann, though they
say she sometimes made her own
change at the money drawer when
she purchased an article, on which
.occasion she not unfrequently took
out rather more cash than she put in,
besides taking home the articles she
had purchased in this profitable man*
ner. But nevertheless Mrs Towns
end became dissatisfied with, pur
chasing groceries even at this ac
commodating rate, and transferred
her custom to another shop.
The loss of so valuable a customer,
Mrs. P«'ck was determined not to
put up with, and though she made
no complaints about Mrs Townsend’s
mode of making change while she
continued a customer at her shop,
she could not hold in her ire
when she saw her making purchases*,
at a rival establishment; and no >
sooner had this desertion on the part
of Mrs Townsend taken place,
than Mrs Peck declared she was a
thief, and had stolen money out of
her drawer ; and whenever Mrs.
Town c end passed through the entry
of the house to go to the rival shop,
which was very often, Mrs. Peck,
with arm akimbo, and not thesweet
ost voice in the world, would cry out
to her daughter in the shop, “ Ann„
take care of the drawer, the thief is
coming.” This was too much for
human nature to put up with, and
ifter due consultations with friends
and attornies, and plenty of scolding
from tht bottom to the top of the
*toirs between the fair belligerents,
Townsend and wife brought aa
-rtion of damages against Peck ar4
wife. Peck and wife did all that
mortals could do to show on the
rial that Mrs. Townsend was no
better that she should be, and that
her fingers were rather the rev rse
if heavy fingers; in which they
-uceeded tolerably w 11; but never
theles the jury, on deliberation, deci
ded that Pock should pay Townsend
£ 150, in damages, nhd $73 costs,
for t' e use hi E wife had made of her
tongue, that being the sum the buy
under the circumstances ftns'deied
Airs. T’s character to be worth.
We might add a very sage n oral
to this story, but we will only beg .
every man, or rather evey man’s
wife, after reading it, to Iqy tbeir
fore-finger on the tip of that delicate,
volatile, uneasy little member, .the
tongue, and make their own r flec
tions by way of improvenn nt.

COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor of the Georgia Statesman :
Sir—As Mr. Clark’s piece has not bed ac- *
cess to the columns of the 'Georgiy Journal,*
I request you to insert the following in yau*
next. H. O.
W. P. Clark’s piece, as published in the
“Patri't” and “Statesman,” of the ;s'h 'r st. •
in replv to some observations of Col.
touc> ng the reputation of his Falls , v v»
handed to one of the Editors of the G< g gia
Journal, the Saturday previous to the der on
which that paper is issued—accompanied wi:h
a request that it should appear in their next.
The Monday following, the Editor waved the
necessity or proi"iety of on insertion, by re
plying, that be considered Mr. Clarktoo young
to become responsible for his article. Now,
I would ask, with all due deff -ence to tho
jpin ons of others, what rtsponsibility is at
tached to that piece? Is i not accompanied
v. i h proof? Yes ; an • that too as strong as
Holy Writ—and if any interested indiridual
doubts it, he can be convinced, byartference
to tho pers on who holds Col. Jones’ letter in.
its original shape. —But why did this Editor
delsv making a reply to Mr. Clark’s request,
from Saturday until Monday 1 It savours
strong ofconsultation. —‘“l he author of the
piece alluded to is too young!” And low <Ha
the Editor asce-tain this ? It semis that this
man is Chronicler as well as Editor. Let it
suffice, that Mr. Clark has been sebjeet to
Militia duty for months past, and is ameuiable
to the laws o' his country.
Mr. Clark, I believe, is a little old( r 1 art
Master Gilmore, of Morgan county, whose
toast was published in the Journal of the 25th
u!t. 1 will give it as it appeared: “Bv Mas
ter Gilmore, a youth of 11 years old only—
Bartlett, the Editor of the Patriot; his t-lsnU
for lying ;re equalled by none; may his ori
ginal name be forgotten, and may he be known
by no other than that which has been given
him, the G' orgia Gulliver.” Here is calumny
with a vengeance, and responsibility too—-t and
all in the Georgia Journal. But it is all nd" ;
for the shot is aimed where they wish it. Yet
poor boy 1 he is young and little, his g> i .•
short arid light, powder w<ak, and flint l>m
in fine, this toast is bare assertion. No; so
with Mr. Clark’s expose. I would feign he
lievi that a motive quite different froo that
above cited, actuated this Editor, in refusing
an insertion of Mr. Clark's piece in the Journ
al. It is this, that l««e publication would phee
Col. Jones, their personal and politic ll frn t.d,
in a situation not to be envied.
Before I conclude, I would wish the public
to rccolleqt, that those r< marks of Coi. ac.i . s»
were not mad- in the “ hurry of a mom nt,”
nor were they the effect of an exciter- ent
roused by opposition. No—they were the
result of “closet meditation.”
