TTe'vc met bnt onrc, oh chide me not
If 1 in dreams should live it o'er,
And words, perch*rn-e thou hast forgot,
Should cherish as a hoarded store.
Forgive me, if the wild strung lyre,
In aiumhers swept hy fancy's touch,
Thv voice should mingle with its lire,
I. forgive me, for its tones are such.
The hours that flew so liglflly by.
On noiseless wing unheeded swept ;
But I have culled their treasured jov,
And they have flow nos all bereft.
The lustrous beam of thy dark eve.
The beauty calm of thv fair brow,
jk I robbed them of, ere they could fly,
■ Fair ladv ! I would keep them now.
And may I ask a boon of thee.
Thou cherished vision of a day;
Dare I to. ask, “ remember me,”
A dingle thought, when far away 7
I know thou hast a generous heart, _ o
‘• A A woman’* heart —

From thee, would he a diadem. .Wgß

From the Chsrlcaton News.
Jfeiw*. Editor *.* The piece ‘I am Married,’
* ia hast Saturday's 1 News,’ reminded me of, | l if
and sensible thing—and I sert^^fc
.Jar your next Saturday's psjwr, as an appropriate
wecond to the other —though in a very different
rtyle and spirit. Its good old fashioned matter
of fact common sense is worth a Imshel of poetry.
It may bring a of needed wisdom to some
one of your readers. A lore-spoken word r io
some heedful heart that will receive it, apdne
strong.
SoliloijTjy of a Bride.
The day long expected is past—l'm a wife ;
I most keep what I’ve ventured to win.
Mow great the roncern ! bow important the life,
That I now am about to begin !
Though the prospect is fair, though my hopes have
been high.
They exist not without an allov ;
There's a tear that still wants to steal out from ray
eye;
There’s a fear that breaks in on my joy.
In a world of allotments so mingled a this,
With abatements all hieing* are gained ;
And how do 1 know but I *.v>-roay--Tnr*R ~ - -
What so few of my sex have obtained !
Those moderate joys, that the meanest may find,
That contentment which fools so neglect,
Those emotions toeestaev never inclined,
Are all that I a-k, or expect.
For affections when strong, and when boundless in
*way,
Are followed hy sorrow# as g’-eat ;
The love that is nonsense and rapture to-day,
To-morrow is coldness or hale.
Mv part to perform in this drama of love,
Ie my fixed, my determined intent:
The ilia that contrition could never remove,
Precaution perhaps may prevent.
My table with order shall ever be spread,
My parlor shall nevrr look mean ;
The curls well adjusted snail pUy round my head.
And my lmarth it shall always be rleatt!
Though married, my labor shall not be the less,
That my charms to advantage be shewn ;
Tie a fault in a wife to be earehnwin dresa.
For which nothing else can atone.
If riches we hare not, 1 will not repine ;
To if called, I’ll re meat:
I never will strive by expense to lie fine,
Though I always intend to Se neat.
When marriage has joined us, our courtship is o’er, j
Anew course •! things we then find;
Afthonaand attention* exacted before,
Mu at aow be renounced, or resigned.
A distiaetiaa both obvious and just is descried,
The lo*or arid husband between ;
And where these is mom for a difference so wide,
A samanaaa hut rarely ft? seen.
The husband attentive must mind his affairs;
The layer all buuince* may shun;
The husband, through life, has nutnberleea cares ;
The low—we guess—has but one.
The lover I*e loat—the husband I claim;
Nor let it aena irksome, or t range,
If the character* abouid n*t, in all, be the same,
Where there’s season so obvious for change.
1 will not demand that he he by my side,
To trip aad aaKant me through life ;
Can the man who has buaitieas, or honor, or pride,
Devote all his tune to his wife ?
If offences shoo Id eosee asr peace to betray ;
If he talk with a passionate eye ;
I will hear his repmat, whatever he say,
I will hear—hut make ao reply.
The kindest af me* have feelings acute,
And with these they may often do wrong ;
Tis best by silence te end the dispute
Which wjetnders would only prolong.
A constant succession of peace, though desired,
We shafl not be able to hold;
’ Yet I will ne4 suppose our love has expired % -
Because for a moment it’s cold.
j
Twere much better wished that wisdom divine
Would suffer no sorrows to come,
Yet I will not suppose all evils aTe mine
Jfeeaime I perhaps may have
No deception shall blTd, no dmih* shall decoy,
No tear bf deceit shall hr'shed :
While he lives I'll pretend to no hypocrite joy, i
To no hypocrite rnef when he's dead.
Plain nature shall speak, to nature I'il keep,
’ Yet niv duties I’ll aim to fulfil.
When lie's laid in the ave, if I loved him I’ll weep.
If I did not. i'll pan*? — a?hf h* still.

We have been reading a pamphlet which was
| received by one of our distinguished physicians,
I hy the last English steadier, giving an account
!of anew Amestlietic agent as a substitute lor
; Sulphuric Ether, &c. by J. A". Simpson of the
1 Edinburgh University. The writer has used
; Ether very extensive!', since the discovery of it*

i vent their feeling pain while undergoing surgical
| operations, and in the mean time has been en
j gaged in attempt* to if euver some oilier them

1 At last he lias concluded that the article infinitely
j more efficacious than ny of tLe other* is Chlo-
I roj'orm, or the pen hi. hi,* ol l'<-.<my!e ; and fie
is enabled to speak e ifiJeut’y. of its properties,
having tried it upon upwards of thirty individuals.
It was first discovera Jby Siubvruin in J .
arid next by Liebig in 1532 ; its composition v. as
first accurately ascertained by Dumas, a French
’ cheriiist, in I*j3s. It has iieen used by some

known to use it by inhaitlion—nor li.i- any one.
