[wnnuv nr a mkiieavrd vathrb ]
It seems but yesterday rny love, thy little heart beat
high;
Audi had almost scanted the voice that told ms
thou inu.il die
-1 saw thee move vv. h active bound, with pints wild
and free,
And infant grace and beauty pv* their glorious
charm to thee.
Fir on the tunny pl< ns ' ss v tl.y sparkling foot
a'eps fly,
Firm, bght and graceful ns the bird that cleaves the
morning sky s
And i f i n, as the playful breeze waved back thy
shining hair.
Thy cheek displayed the red ro.s tint that health
had painted there.
And then in all my thoughtlessness, I could not hut
rejoice,
To hear upon the morning winds the music cf ’by
voice
Now echoing in the rapturous laugh, now sad almost
to tears i
’Twas like the sounds I used to hear, in old and
happier years.
Thinks for that memory to thee, my little lovely
bov,
That memory of my youthful bliss, which time
would fain destroy.
I lis’encd, as die mariner suspends the out bound oar,
To taste ih<- farewell gale that breathes from off Ins
native shore.
So gentle is thy loveliness I—alas ! how could it he,
That Death would not forbear to lay his icy hand on
thee t
Nor spa. c thee yet a little while, in childhood's
opening bloom.
While many a sad and weary soul was longing for
the tomb I
Was mine a happiness too pure for erring man to
know f
Or why did Heaven so soon destroy my paradise
below 1
Enchanting as the vision was, it sunk away as soon
As when, in quick and cold eclipse, the sun grows
dark at noun.
I loved thee, and my heart was blessed, but, ere that
day was spent
I saw thy light and graceful form in drooping ill
ness bent,
And shuddered a* I cast a look upon thy fainting
head i
The mournlul cloud was gathering there, and life
was alums' fled.
Days passed i and toon the seal of death made
known that hope was vain ,
I knew the swiftly-wasting lamp would never burn
again «
The cheek was pale i the snowy lips were gently
thrown apart.
And life, in every passing breath, seemed gushing
from the heart.
I knew those marble lips to mine should never mors
be pressed.
And floods of feeling, undt-flnetl, rolled wildly over
my breast ;
Low, stifled sounds, and dusky forms seemed mov
ing in the gloom,
As if Death’s dark array were com* to bear thee tc
the tomb
And when I could not keep tne tear from gathering
in my eye.
Thy little band pressed gently mine in token ol
reply (
To ask one more exchange of love, thy look wat
upward cast.
And in that long and burning kisa thy happy spirit
passed.
With trembling hand 1 vair.ly tried thy dying eyei
to close i ...
And almost envied, in that hour, thy calm and deep
repose i
For 1 w.is left in loneliness, with pain ansi gnel
oppressed.
And thou wait with the sainted, where the weary
are at rest.
tes, lam sad and wc ary now but let me not repine
Because a spirit, loved so well, is earliet blest than
mine ;

I never trusted to have lived to bid farewell to thee,

A BRIDE IN DISTRESS.

•®Ad on Motulnt by (he Mayor in 'lie per

•tuteii her name to be R.*a——, it ia unne
cessary to mention it in full. She came
into the nt&ce tliis morning a picture of po
»eity and desolation, having b.»en found
sleeping on one of the market s’alls in the
ram on Sunday night, i’he watchman stat
ed that ha found tier in a sound sleep, tho*
the clothing with which her bodv w*s scan
tily covered, w is dripping wet. — On rous
in* her. she opened hsr eyes slowly, and
tvas with difficulty gut en'trely awake, so
mucti had she basil overcome by the cold
«ms ram. Ho inquired, where she lived,
bul received no satisfactory answer, though
her behavior was modest and respectful ;
and at his request she accompanied him to
the watch house, where comfortable quar- 1
ters were provided fur her during the re
mainder ot the night. Her appearance this
morning preeented the curious spectacle ot
a girl ot seventeen, robust and blooming in
health without any indications of a latnili
anty with crime of «• v kiotf, modest and
retiring, yot covered with rags that bespoke
th* extremity of poverty. When a,kod
liuw she camo to be found io the street un

t ih nr that she must in some way give assur-i
.| a rices (hat site was not a common vagrant,
'.some part ot a history in which the roman- 1
tic formed n very conspicuous half. She -
came from tlie neighborhood us Pittsburg,
to meet a young man now in this city, be *
|tween whom and herself there existed an
. engagement of marring' 1 , which was (o be,
corisuminited on her arrival here. Theyj
d wete b>ih of humble but reap. cable par

“here, with a salary sufficient to supportj
jihemboth, (hough his business prevented
t Jhim leaving it to marry her at home. —She!
hid cme on by appointment, about a week
e before, hut had been robbed on the way, ol
eveiy thing but Ihe clothes she wore, in
7 eluding a email sum of money which hei
(Jim'llier had given heron leaving home. To
jaild to her misfortune, she did not know
iwhere to find her lover, having lost, the di
•tjrec'ion he gave her, (hough she remember
ed part of the mercha'il’s name where he
y was employed. She had wandered up and
, t 'down the meets lor nearly a week, search
tug in v tin fir it, and had suppoited her
J self by pawning her clothes in exchange for
him ragged -ui' she now wore, being unable
7to bring her mind to begging. S-veral
c nights she had found lodgings in houses ot
evil fume, but hail escaped the pollu'inns
r, which are practised in them. On Sunday
is night, driven to despair by her desperate si
|tun'ion in a alrange place, having expended
her last sixpence in paying,for a lodging the
n night before, shs lay d w i in the ma'ket
house to sleep not having tasted a raou'h
b ful the whole day. This ielation excited
ithe elrortges' sympathy among a considera
r ble number of n-sp'-ct ble persons who
heard it, and a pure of twenty-live dollar
, was immediately sub-cribed for her, with
wh'ch to p'oeure tier new clothing, and pay
s her board for 'hree weeks at a respec able
house, while enduavors were mad - to fi d
out bn residence of her lover. When she
was apprised of tlmse liberal arrangements
on her behalf, she wag so overwhelmed with
t 'he uin-xpec edoess.ol the relief, that her
full h«art ii-lieved itself in a shower of
tears. She said also, that she was unable
to write, and could not therefore have in
her friends of her sruuiioti, and
s| that the was atranl o communicate her *u>-

Hush Hill Car jet Manufactory.
We took an opportunity a few days since
1 to gratify a desire long entertained, of \is
iling the carpet manufactory of Mr. M'Cal-
I v «i B usl> Hill—the Kidder minister of
AVfcica, The est ablishment at a distance!
' looks like a compact village, and the amount
f room in the numerous extensive build • j
mgs would accommodate inhabitants enough!
to make a city in Connecticut or New-Jer-,
' s. y.
Mr. M'Calla has long been known as the I
manufacturer of il tor cloths, and painted
cm pets j and the profits that have arisen i
1 from his extensive and well conducted es-|
tablishment, have been used, apparently
wi h a liberal hand, to ex end the business t
of the concern, increase ihe stock, multi
lily buildings, and of course, empl y extra
hands. The looms used in these buildings
weave cmv.ss of astonhhing strength,
twenty one feet wide sixty feet long, with
out a seam, and this by tne ordinary way of
throwing the shuttle. When 'he floor cloth
is thus woven, it :» extended with great ten
smn perpendicularly, and thick coats of
paint of ,cne color are laid on it, by men
who work on galleries, at different heights,
m front of the canvass. Af'er these coats
of pain' have remained from three to four
months, the cloth is taken down and con
veyed to another budding, where it receives
the figures of various patterns and divers!
colors, in a manner not unlike the made of
stamping house paper.—Having received
all die figur 3 and n tderingg, the whole im
mense “ curpe ” in then suspended length
wise (6l feel) in buildings prepared for that
purpose ; anil after about twelve months,
is considered in a s'ate to be used, making
’ nearly a year and a half in preparation.. A
great number of hese huge cloths, of beau
iful figures, were suspended in the drying
rooms, and in various parts of the ex’en
ive premises; others were in different
sages of progress. Oilcloths for furm.ure,,
i beautifully figured, are made in the same
i buddings. We noticed in one room about!
1 8000 yards, sufficiently dried for the mark-
If ■ Canton flannels receive the paint and
, figures on the smooth side, while the »dt
, nap on the other side is left to prevent in- 1
. Jury to valuable furniture, from the hard
J - inns and points that occur in linen oil cloths.
Ihe various processes f making lie paint
ed carpets anti oil cloths, all car ied on at
one ime, in different pat is of the buildings,
are exceedingly interesting.
Proceeding from the ti >uses in which the
painting and drying are conduced, we
■ came to a new building in which the
-[weaving of ingrain and B ursels, and other
'woollen carpets, is caiiied on. If one is
• struck with dm magnitude of (he ope-aiion
l of weaving and stamping a s atnles* cirpet;
[of twelve hundred and stx‘y square feet, no
t less surprise would nw-.it turn in the mar
*i vellous airangemer.t of machinery & threads
5 for the weaving of a B.ussrls carpet. We
t could not, in three week’s gtoang at the
! multifarious interlacings and convolusioiis
. of yarns, and the array of spindles, pu lies
and points, give the least idea of the won
derful process. The figures, however, on
f he fabric, are bmiu i'Ul beyond descrip
tion, and thetexiuie of ihe carpeting may
< certain I y vied with any we have ever seen.
*j The ingrain carpeting is woven by loom
• which are improvements on the French in
’ Mention. Those conversant with the subject
• have probably read accounts of'tbe plan by
• which the richest and most varied figures
r ,are Woven into the f .brie by the weav.-r, who
.(sits in the nsual position, and throws his
' shuttle in the seme manner as does the. wea
.ivt ‘ r of while muslin.- The figure has been
• (pricked out upon cards, and by some opera
tion of machinery above the loom, the dis
■j ferent colors of the watp rise upon the sur
face just as they are wanted to form the
t figure, & when any attention of the weaver is
I required to •'ltfier web or wirp, the machine
ry, very good natsred.y, gives timely notice
by ringing a small boll.
in this department of the establishment,!
t we s-w two Scotchmen, recently arrived,
i engaged in putting in the warp for an in i
, grain carpet of » rich figure, to be woven by
