What is love l I asked a maiden, Beaming' bright in beauty's sky, - Love she knew arid with it laden, Were the arrows in her eye ; . Blushes soft came o’er her stealing, Lo w her words of music fell “Love’s a strange delicious; feeling, What it is I cannot tell.’’ What is love 1 I asked the glory Of my household and my life, When in after years the story Of my passion won a wife ; Deep in mine her glances glowing, Burned with love and golden glee, While her arms around me throwing Kisses sweet she gave to me. What is love 1 O, brightest angel! Wilt thou not thyself unroll ? Lo I I feel thy soft evangel Stir the waters of my soul; Love is joy divinely given To the souls of earth again, Binding heart to heart and heaven, With God’s own electric chain. “Every Eittle Helps.” What if a drop of rain should plead— “So small a drop as I Can ne’er refresh the thirsty mead; Fll tarry in the sky.” What, if the shining beam of noon Should in its fountain stay ; Because its feeble light alone Cannot create a day ? Does not each rain-drop help to form The cool, refreshing shower ? And every ray of light, to warm And beautify the flower 1 Eittle Tilings. Scorn not the slightest word or deed, Nor deem it void of power; There’s fruit in each wind-wafted seed. Waiting its natal hour. A whispered word may touch the heart, And call it back to life; A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife. No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be, Nor what results enfolded dwell Within it silently. Work and despair not; give thy mite, Nor eare how small it be ; God is with all that serve the right, The holy, true, and free! on receiving a glove irom a la- Epigiam dy:— I’ll keep the gift, where’er I rove, For ’twas my pride, my joy to win it; But when you next give me a glove, O, lady ! let your hand be in it.

An incident occurred in this city on Wednesday last, which was at once so lauohable and ludicrous, that we deem ourduty, as faithful chroniclers of passing events, to place it on record in the columns of the Delta, which, of itself, secuies for it an undyiug—a deathless imujoitality. - Without, then, after the style of James, say ing what might, of what might not be seen at a given hour on the morning of that day let us introduce to our readers the drama tis 'personae of our subject, and, as the mag 1 netizers say, put them at once in communi cation with our readers.

Oh, but Doc tor, I’m very sick—can’t you give me some thing that’ll cure me? I tried three cock tails this morning, and I find they haven’t cared the fever—not in the least.” “Let me feel your pulse, Major,” said the Doctor. [Feels] “You are feverish, that’s a fact, put out your tongue, [looks] Yes, you’re right sick Major; what would you say to have four of your front teeth pulled out ? I think that would relieve you.” “Oh! I see,” said the Major, “you want to operate on me ic spite to my teeth,” [the Major, truth to speak, has an excellent set of ivories—white and sound as those of an Ethiopian] “but,” he added, “I won’t stand it.” “Well then,” said the Doctor, “suppose we treat your case on the Homeopathic principle, and give you toddies, which caus ed the fever, in small doses, for the purpose of allaying it?” Well, Doctor,” said the Major, “I have no objection to that; *1. would rather take a dozen toddies than lose a tooth any day.” “Weil, then, turn in there/’ said the Doc tor, pointing to abed in the room, “butbe fore you lie down, take this,” filing out an enormous go of brandy, which the Major, medicinally made to disappear. “Now, keep still there,” said the Doctor, “go to sleep, and when you awake, you will feel as well as ever you did.” But the Major could not keep still; he could not go to sleep; grotesque looking lit tle men, he thought, were coming up and laughing at him; old women with lone stars in their foreheads, were shaking their gory locks at him, and little fish with fiery tails were whisking them about his face. Sleep he could not, and hearing feet coming up the stairs, he listened with nervous atten tion, for lie still had some method in his madness. Feigning to be asleep, he cover ed up his head, and for the time kept quiet —as quiet as if he had undergone a mes meric operation, though he was wide awake all the time. Now, the owners of the feet which he heard coming up the stairs, were the Doctor and a mattress-maker, whom he had sent for to measure the very bed in which the Major lav, for a new mattress to match, and it so happened that they were discoursing of a patient of the Doctor’s an acquaintance of the mattress-maker, who, a few days be fore, was conveyed to the Charity Hospi tal. “So you don’t think he’ll live, Doctor?’ said the mattress maker. “1 donTthink he can, William,” said the Doctor, don’t believe he’ll be alive twenty-four hours.” At this, the Major pricked up his ears; the phantoms which troubled him had van ished, and believing that he was the sub ject of the discourse to which he listened, actual and immediate death began to stare him in the face. He drew the clothes from jor, staring at the mattress-maker, as he threw up in the bed; ‘You’ll take the meas ure for my coffin, will you, G—d d—n you; clear out, or I’ll give a job to some one who’ll have to make your coffin; and you,” said he to the Doctor, “you that I believed to be my friend, you, too, conspire against my life! You want my teeth, do you? D—n me, I’ve a mind to knock your teeth down vour throat this instant; now I tell yon, I shant die; nor shall this scoundrel make my coffin, although he has taken my measure, but I reckon I have got his; nor shall you have my teeth, any way you can fix it—that yon wont.” The denouement was now understood by the Doctor and the mattress-maker, and they were not long in convincing the Major of tiie error under which he labored. He took another toddy, turned in, and had a good sleep, and awoke relieved from all the sickly fancies of being killed with chloro form, having his teeth sawed out, and being dissected by juvenile Sawbones. His K/uipp wholly relived him. Two Strings to the Bow—“Well, Hodge,” said a smart looking Londoner to a plain cottager, who was on his way home from church, “so you are trudging home after taking the fine balmy breeze in the country this morning.” ‘Sir,” said the man, “I have not been strolling about this sacred morning, wast ing nry time in idleness, and neglect of re ligion ; but I have been to the house of God, to worship him and to hear his word preach ed,” * “Ah! what then, .are you one of those simpletons that, in these country places, are weak enough to believe the Bible!—Be lieve me my man, that book is nothing but a. pack of nonsense, and none but the weak .and ignorant now think it true.” “Well but Mr. Stranger do you know, weak and ignorant as we country people are, we like to have two strings to our bow?” “Two strings to your bow! what do you mean by that?” t “Why, sir, I mean ihat to believe the Bible andjact up to it, is like having two strings to one’s bow: for if it is not true, I shall be the better man for living according to it, and so it will he for my good in this life—that is one string; and if it should be true, it will be better for me in the next life—that is another string, and a pretty strong one it is. But, sir, if you disbelieve the Bible, and on that account do not live as itfrequires, you have not even one string to your bow. And O, if its tremendous threats prove time, O, think what then, sir, will become of you!” This plain appeal silenced tho coxcomb, and made him feel, it is hoped, that he was not quite so wise as he had supposed.

Women whose garulity, by their husbands arid others, was believed to be a chronic disease, have been brought to the doctor arid he has actually j made them hold their jaw. But we digress. Our next character is a live Mississippi Major, quaint of phrase arid curious of ex pressidh. When he meeteth a fnend, he drinks his health, and the health of his friend, and of. his friends’ friends, and of his own friends, and of all their collateral, and incidental, and miscellaneous, and promis- cuous friends, even to the third and fourth generation; and this he doth at least three hundred and sixty-five times a year, on an average! And yet he considers the toast original—a fact which might lead our .rea ders to suppose that the Major himself is an original; and so he is an o friendship, love of liberty, 1D %ow, the introduction of our third char acter, we will defer for the present; he will appear in good time. But to coine_to the marrow, of the matte?, for, like the Usurper of France, we have heretofore been playing (about) the bony part, we will.state that on the morning aforesaid, the Mississippi Ma jor, flushed with fever, entered the Doctor s reception-room come next. ,.. „.... . . “Well, the doctors wontcutup his body, as John Galpiu does his sausage-meat!” said the mattress-maker. “Will they?” Here the Major again, by a galvanic effort, threw out his bead, and again, in the inten- S sity of horror, drew it under the clothes. 1 “Why, William/’ said the Doctor, in re- the mattress-maker, American Revolutionary Ecague for Europe. The Philadelphia Ledger publishes a curious paper, entitled the “Constitution of the American Revolutionary League for Europe,” signed by N. Schmidt, of Boston, President; P. Wagner, of Boston, and J. R. Fuerst, of Baltimore, vice presidents; and Mr. Williams, of Baltimore, Mr. Gloss, of Richmond, and others, a committee. It is the result of the revolutionary congress held in Philadelphia from January 29th to February 1st, 1852. The Ledger says: The design of the league is to overthrow monarchy and establish republican democ racy throughout Europe. For the accom- plishment of this purpose, the first object is co-operation of the democratic elements, and their fusion into cne great party, look ing only to radical revolution in Europe as their aim, Heretofore the democratic ele ments have been disunited, through nation al antipathies and warring against each other. They are now to be united for the destruction of the common venemy, until which time the contest for “the spoils,” which usually begins with the first revolu tionary effort, is to be postponed. The means to accomplish this object is to have agitation in Europe as well as America, ac cumulation of a revolutionary fund, and the formation of armed organizations in this country, ready for the struggle when it comes. Militarj companies are to bo form ed in every city and county in the Union, arid auxiliary associations, who pay weekly contributions to the fund. The whole su pervision of, affairs is to be under the con trol of a congress of all the associations, and during its recess by an executive board. A political committee of three persons, elected by this congress, has unrestricted powers to act in concert with other nation- alties, to take the steps necessay to accom plish European revolution. This, in briet is the organization and object of this asso ciation; and the question arises how far they are consistent with the duties which American citizens owe to their own laws, and the treaties entered into by the United States with the nations of Europe. It is a great scheme of intervention in the affairs of foreign nations, if not by the government at least by the people of the United States. If the organization succeeds to the extent of its wishes, how long would the govern ment of the United Stages be able to keep from meddling with foreign quarrels ? Before and after Marriage.— Dearest Ellen, do you love me?” asked Dr. Beeswax of the pretty little Miss Willow, a few weeks before Marriage. “Aye, better than life, better than home —you are my very soul; parted from you are my very soul; parted from you I should wither and decay,, like the flpwers in au tumn.’’ Said the doctor in reply, “I swear you are to me aa angel; none so peerless as you. May my tongue cleave to the. roof of my mouth, if it ever crossly speaks to you.”. After the doctor had been married six months the following confab might have been heard between him and Mrs. Bees wax: . . “Ellen, why don’t you get up? You are decidedly the laziest woman I ever saw.— There’s not starch enough in my dickey, and it’s no use talking to you. I don’t be lieve you’d wash. your face if 1 it : wasn’t for shame’s sake.” “There you go again 1 you cruel brute; always flying at me. I lead the life of a dog, and I will go home to mother.” “Go, and good riddance to bad rubbish.” “Don’t talk so to me, sir; I won’t stand it; take that!” Moreau's Mistake.—When General Mo reau, who forsook the colors oi Napoleon, and was afterwards killed fighting against his former commander in Germany, was in the city of Boston, he was mueh courted and sought after as a lion of the first quali ty. On one occasion he was invited to at- terid the commencement exercises. In the course of the day a musical society of un dergraduates sang a then very popular Ode, the chorus of which was, To-morrow, to-morrow, to-iriorrow.” Moreau, who was imperfectly acquainted with our language fancied that they were complimenting him ; and at every recurrence of the burden, which he interpreted, “To Moreau, to Mo reau, to Moreau/’ he rose and bowed grace fully to the Singers’ gallery, pressing his laced chapeau to his heart. We can easily imagine the amusement of the spectators who were in the secret, and the mortifica tion of the Frenchman, when he discovered his mistake. A Fat Woman in A Tight Place* The following interesting trifle is an ex tract from a letter from a corpulent lady on her way to California. She is undoubted ly “seeing the elephant,” and we pity her : Our cabin has two boxes in it called berths, though coffins would be nearer the thing, for you think more of ycAir latter and at sea a great deal. One of these is situ ated over the other like two shelves, and these together make what they call a state room. My berth is the uppermost one, and I have to climb up to it, putting one foot on the lower one, and the other away cut on the wash-hand-stand, which is a great stretch and makes it very straiuiifg-- thenl lift one knee on the berth and roll in sideways. This is very incovenient for a woman of my size and very dangerous. Last night I put my foot bn Mrs. Brown’s face, as she laid asleep close to the edge of the lower one, and nearly put out her eye ; and I have torn all the skin off my knees, and then I have a large black spot where I have been hurt, and my head is swelled. To dismount is another feat of horseman ship only fit for a sailor. You can’t sit up for the floor overhead; so you have to turn round, and roll your legs out first, and then hold on till you touch bottom somowhere, and then let yourself down upright. It is dreadful work, and not very decent for a delicate female, if the steward happens to come in when you are in the act this way. I don’t know which is the hardest to get in or get out of a berth—both are the most difficult things .in the world, and I shall be glad when I am done with it. I am oblig ed to dress in bed before I leave, and rio- body who hasn’t tried to put on their clothes lying down, can tell what a task it is. Lacing stays behind your back, and you on your face nearly smothered with the bedclothes, and feeling for the eyelet hole with one hand, and trying to put the tag in with the other, while you are rolling about from side to side, is no laughing matter. Yesterday I fastened on the pil low to my bustle by mistake, in the hurry, and never knew it till the people laughed and said the sea agreed with me, I had had grown so fat; but putting on stock ings is the worst, for there ain’t room To stoop forward; so you have to bring your feet to you, and stretching out ou you? back, lift your leg till you can reach it, and then drag it on. Corpulent people can’t always do this so easy, I can tell you. It always gives me the cramp, and takes away my jreath. You will pity me, if you could conceive; hut you can’t—nobody but a wo man can tell what a female suffers being confined in a berth at sea. *" gAagBFS ; > Cheap Dry Roods Store, No! 146, Congress street; Savannah, Ga.

The Major could stand it no longer; he bolted up right in the bed, casting a mani acal look at the mattress-maker and oue of daggers at the doctor. The. mattress-maker drew back in affright, for he then for the first time knew that there was any one in the bed; and he had no immediate desire to be strangled by a madman; and the doctor w did not know how to account.for the insane bur folL": look and indignant scowl of his friend. ® ... uni™*. Aitf vhii said the A Remarkable Hen.-A gentleman of our acquaintance, in marketing a day or two since, bought from a wagon a h<n of ordina ry size' and appearance but the great weight of which excited his curiosity, and upon having it killed and clensed, a remarkable fact was disclosed, and its extraordnary weight accounted for—the creature was found to contain twenty-five eggs eighteen of which wereoffullsize, with yolks and whites although their shells were still soft; the re maining eight were of a yellow colour and varied in size from that of a hickory nut to that of a cherry. This remarkable bird was purchased in the Charleston market from Mr. Bradley, the keeper of the Four Mile House near this city, and has been returned to his hands for the inspection of his customers and the enrious in such mat ters.— Charleston Hews.

The lawyer, after a little reflection, re marked that he had said he believed the court could be bought with a peck-of beans, that he said it without reflection, and wish ed to take it back; but, said he. “If I had put it at half a bushel, I never would have ta ken it back in the world!” Hew Substitute for Oil.—The Boston Commonwealth says that a new illumina ting fluid has been developed in New York which will in a great measure supercede spirit lamps, as spon as the Patent office can settle its doifcbts. Large manufactories of benzule, a hydro-carbon, which has the property of producing an excellent illumi nating gas by being dissolved in* most air, are going up in New York and Brooklyn, The substance isjjmanufactured from tar or mineral coal, and while it can be afforded at half the price of “burning fluid” per gal lon, it will yield indefinitely more ililumina- tion. The use of it would require a gas ometer and gas fixtures in each house, but the cheapness of the eonaumptioh will put movable lamps of every kind nearly out of use.

I use their language. I received two bills the other day, with request for immediate payment; the one I ordered to lay on the table—the other to be read that day six months.” The New York Mirror says—“It is useless to disguise the fact;' the ship fever is raging in New York. A disease as foul as the small pox and the yellow fever, and more fatal than the cholera. Its progress is no longer heralded in whispers. The truth can no longer be stifled. It is not confined to the station houses and the hdv- ek of the poor, but has entered the pala ces ofthe wealthy. The wintry air stays its progress, but let the warm weather set in, and itwillbecome a dreadful scourge.
