I loved the in the spring time, The fresh and bonnie spring, When birds were whistling in the wood Or flitting on the wing. My wild atfections sprang to life, Like fountains in those hours; My heart expanded with the birds And opened with the flowers. The spring hath kindred feelings With those just knowing love; We see it in the tendril’s clasp, And learn it from the dove— And when all bright and beauteous things Their precepts taught to me, I gave away a woman’s heart, A woman’s trust to thee. The chilling winds are stealing A melancholy march, And snowy coronets bedeck The ljnden and the larch, With Spring’s gay songsters and its flowers I saw my hopes depart, And the Winter time of Nature As the Winter of my Heart. !§©]1ILIL!

I am a victim—a heart broken victim to that strongest of all passions which rakes the human heart.” “Can you not tell us your tale of sorrow, Simon ?” kindly asked the Marshal, , ‘we may have it in our power to relieve you.— Here (poiuting to the reporters) are a num ber of gentlemen of the press, and if you only excite their sympathies, they mightdo something for you.” ~ ,r XD U 111 SC 11 n V CTczms tv ~ottl uy ^vp..rv tw she'd them now,” responded Simon, as he leaued against the table, as if he intended to tell a long, as well as sorrowful tale. “You see gentlemen,” he proceeded, “that I am a fallen man. The fire of energy no longer lights my eyes, the rosy hue of health blooms not upon my cheeks, and my hair is assuming the color of old age. Gentlemen, I am the victim of lore, and would be much obliged to one of you for u chaw of tobacco." He was supplied with the weed. “Two years ago, I first met Mary Mayfield and oh 1 heavens, how it makes my heart tremble to mention that name. She was matchless in beauty, and a queen in action, and was most Jovely to look upon. Ah ! gentlemen, ueed I tell you that she stole ray heart! That my whole soul was wrapped in her endearing charms, and that I forgot all things, saw nothing, felt nothing, save sweet Mary Mayfield ! Driven by desper ation, I threw myself at her feet, begged her to take me as her slave. Tears were in my eyes, and bowed before her queenly person, I felt utterly powerless. Imagine, gentlemen, my confusion, my horror, my torment, when she gave me a slight push with her delicate foot, and said to me—‘Go 'long, you dirty scrub, you aint got money enough for this child /’ Simon here covered his face with his hands as if to hide bis agony. Recovering in a few moments he proceeded : “I instantly resolved’ to drown myself, and proceeded at once to put my resolution into operation. Having from my child hood days a dread of tbeexternal applica tion of cold water, I resorted to the slower but more agonizing’mode of drowning my self by the internal administration of li quors more congenial to my sense of feel- iug. I have drank; drank and drank, but as yet have not succeeded. I am now out of means, and if any of you gentlemen could furnish me with the dimes to pur chase a few more drams, I think I will be able to accomplish my purpose. Can't you lend a fellow a picayune ?' “The Mayor thought that water would be more serviceable to Simon than whiskey and therefore sent him to the Rookery, to be fed on bread and water only, for twenty days. Simon did not complain, as he thought probably a change in his drink might kill him, and thus end his tortures. Poor Simon ! He is a victim of love—— of Whiskey.— Cineinnatti Times. The only way to pronounce a Russian name is to sneeze three times and the* say, ski. Musquitoes are the most incorrigible persevering of all duns—continually “stick- in their bills.” The Broker’s Board has been planned off; the shavings were saved; “You’ve destroyed my peace of mind Betsey,” said a’desparing lover to a truant lass. “If can’t'do you much harm, John, for ’twas an amazing small piece you had, any way.” ' . Never'court the favor ofthe rich by flat tering either their vanity of their vices. Spiritual Rapping*. The following is another parody of Poe’s inimitable song‘The Raven Once, upon a midnight stormy, a lone bachelor attorney pondered many a curious volume of his heart’s forgotten lore—while he nodded, nearly napping, as of some one gently rapping at his chamber door. ‘Tis the spirits !’ and he started, ‘rapping at my chamber door! Oh, for help—I’m frighten ed sore!’ Then into his chamber flitting (not even once permitting him to fly into the closet or to get behind the door) came to the ghosts of fond hearts broken (with many a ring and other token,) and they set them down beside him on the dusty, book strown floor, set them down amid the volumes of most venerable lore. Quoth the lawyer, ‘What a bore!’ ‘It must be something serious; this is certainly mysterious, quite an advent of the spirits—resurrection con arnore. But I un derstand them mostly !’ ‘Here there came a rap so ghostly that he could no more dis semble as he had done before; and his face grew pale and paler, as he started for the door-down he fell upon the floor! Then there came a clatter, and his teeth began to chatter, as the spirits gathered round him, and accused him very sore, how with handsome face all smiling, and with winning words beguiling, he had charmed away the senses of fair maidens by the score, and each lass had fondly fancied it was her he did adore. Quoth the lawyer, ‘Nevermore.’ Startled at the stillness, broken by reply so aptly spoken—for the answer, strange enough, relevancy bore—they began a noisy rapping, sort of spiritual clapping, which the lawyer thought would be a fashionable encore; and again, as if his soul was in that tone he would outpour, did he groan out, ‘Nevermore!’ Presently his soul grew stronger; hesita ting then no longer, ‘Oh,’ said he, ‘sweet spirits, your forgiveness I implore; on my knees, to every ghostess who to love has played the hostess, I will promise to recan the many faithless things I swore ! Will you promise then to leave me !’ Here he pointed to the door. Rapped the spirits, •Nevermore!’ ‘Be that word our sign of parting,’ said the hapless wight, upsarting, ‘hie ye hence into the darkness ; seek ye out some distant shore. In the noisy camp or forum, in the lonely sact sanctorum, such ghastly, grim, unsightly guests were never seen before.

Marriage is a sober fact to a few. But, to another class, it is a bewildering antici pation; The youth of both sexes regard it as a sort of fairy land, w hereof ‘distance but lends enchantment to the view.’ They regard it as a sort of ‘Diamond good Where no crude suifeit reigns.’ They see some instances of unhappiness, and hear of many others—of quanels, and diappointments, and disagreements, and then separations. Yet these young enthu siasts look at marriage as that species of Seventh Heaven promised by Mohammed to tjie faithful. It is no such thing. It is a state which requires great sacrifices ; and for these it gives nothing but love in ex change. Yet as life is nothing without love, that life is the best condition. Many young persons entertain very erroneous ideas relative to the marriage state. I re collect reading an anecdote once related by Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, in one of his Fiee Soil speeches, to this effect; ‘A cou ple came to me one night, and wished me to unite them in wedlock. I consented to perform the ceremony, and said to the man, ‘Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife ?’ ‘Certainlv,’ he replied, ‘I »> ‘ States, the other in England.

The shortest way to a man’s heart is down his throat. Man’s heart is like the moon—if it does not grow larger, it is certain to grow small er. A man may “do good by stealth,” but for his blushing “to find fame,” that’s all nonsense. Man shrinks from cold meat. Does this arise from man’s iunate presumption of al ways ruling the rest ? Man takes women with a dowry in the same way that he accepts the hamper that, brings, him a handsome present of game. Men have two ways of extinguishing the flame of love—they either let it burn out quietly, or else they snuff it out by one blow. In a dilemma, during the time a man has been standing like a fool, fumbling for an excuse, a woman will have invented ten thousand. Wives are often foolish enough to sit up for their husbands, but you hear of few hus bands who have the patience to sit up for their wives. How many men are there who think they are making themselves exceedingly popular, when they are only making them selves extremely ridiculous. Men have been pointed out to me who were said to be great thinkers. I have watched them, and found them very great thinkers—men who have evidently thought a great deal—but then it was entirely about themselves. An old maid’s only confident is her pil low. All her cares, wrongs and thoughts, both sleeping and waking, are confined to its soft embrace. It is the only depository and witness of the tears that she sometimes sheds over b oken hopes. More than this it is confident that never mocks—-never be trays her. came here for that purpose !’ And to the woman : ‘Do you take this man to be your wedded husband?’ ‘Yes, I do!’ ‘Then you are man and wife—that’s all.* Both looked at me with great astonishment; and the lady asked, ‘Is that all?’ Yes, I re plied, that’s all. ‘Well,’ she remarked. ‘ ’tis not such a mighty affair after all!’ (Ap plause.) But the wife-was mistaken. The marriage ceremony, after all, be it as brief as a rosy rill, is a mighty transaction. It is changing the whole course of a person’s life. New thoughts, new feelings, and new duties arise. If the change be fortunate, they will shine like stars on the dusky coast, lighting the lonely voyager o’er the way. But if the change be unfortunate, it will be like the gloom of the ocean, where the storm tossed bark has been wrecked, and our fond est hopes blasted forever. Marriage is no Epicurean dream. It is happiness or mis ery. It is what Antonia, in Webster’s play took it to be. Some one asked him, What do vou think of marriage ? He replied : ‘I look upon it not as a Purgatory : it is either Heaven or Hell: there is no third place in it.’ The motives for which people marry has a .e*/~vt deal to do with their after happiness. Some WOTTnjn r/-.U,. .. T tlmlTItf l- sorne marry for a ‘position’ in society. And there are men who marry for equally absurd reasons Some men there are who marrv for beauty, and look upon their wife as a mere toy. A man thinks to hang a trinket around his neck, and behold it is a mill stone! Some men marry for money. He who does so, has this advantage ; he knows what he can get. (Laughter.’) If a man can feed upon husks, it is well for him to see that his trough is well filled Then, again, there is great diversity of opinion as to the proper age to marry. I have my strong doubts whether very early marriages are advisable. It seems to me that a dif ference between the ages of the parties is de sirable. How great a difference there should be, is not so easily decided, teen years is too great a hiatus will do. opposing influences of repulsion and attrac tion, every phenomenon in the heavens is sought to be explained. The efficiency of the Newtonian system is denied in round terms by this new philosopher, his own the ory being avowed to be the only one that can legally explain nature’s operations - The system cotempoianeously propound ed in great Britain is equally revolutionary. The English philosopher, one Joshua Pursfo has set forth his theory in a very elaborate work ; being less modest in this respect than his American rival, who contents him self with a pamphlet. Amid the cloud of words he employs, it is difficult to come at philosopher Purclo’s exact meaning, but we derive the idea, on the whole, that he thinks heavenly bodies have no weight, that there fore they require no support, that conse quently they are not subjects of attraction. From all this it follows also that, when once set in morion, there is nothing to stop them This English philosopher is even more rad ical in his views than the American. At his hands Newton receives no ^nercy what ever. The Yankee admits gravitation, but gives it a divided throne, by raising repul sion to an equality with it. The Briton de nies that there is any such thing as a cen tre of gravitation in the heavens at all. Verily these are momentous times. If 1848 was the year of political, this is the year of philosophic revolution. But wheth er the new systems will upset the old, as the Lavoisieran theory in chemistry did the old fogy notion of pblogistion, or whether, like the revolutions of 1848, the old belief will come back again, and the old order of things return, remains to be seen.

Strong Little Bodies—The common flea will without much apparent effort, jump 200 times its own length. To do propor tiately as much a man would have to jump some four hundred yards. There is a little fly, ‘so minute as almost to be invisible,’ which observers of its habits say runs six inches in a secoud, and in that space it is calculated makes 1,080 steps. This accor ding to the calculations of Kirby and Spence, is as if a man, whose steps measu red two feet, should run at the increditable rate of twenty miles a minute! The great stag beetle, which tears of the bark from the roots and branches of the trees, has been known to kuaw a hole, an inch in di ameter, through the side of an iron canister in which it was confined, and on which the marks of its jaws were distinctly visible, as proved by Mr. Stephens, who exhibited the canister at one of the meetings of the Entomological Society. The common bee tle can without injury, support and raise very large weights, and make its way be neath almost any amount of pressure. In order to put the strength of this insect At las to the test, experiments have been made which prove that it is able to sustain and escape from beneath a load of from 20 to 30 ounces—a prodigious burden, when it is remembered that the insect itself does not weigh as many grains ; in fact, once more taking a man as a standard for com parison, it is as though a person of ordinary size should raise and get from under a weight of between 40 and 50 tons.—Mo bile Tribune. Mo Time to Swap.—The man who was crossing.the river, and who was thrown from the boat with a large horse and a small po ny, was emphatically “quick-witted.” He seized upon the pony’s tail, (that being the ‘ for he couldn’t swim a yard. -“Catch hold nearest to him,) Some one on shore cried out of the tail of the big horse?” “No,'no!” he answered, “no time to swap horses now/ Jt5£“ A bill has been introduced into the New Jersey Senate, which if it becomes a law, will effect a material alteration in the structure of the social system.

A Case of Conscience.—A reverend gen tlemen of the Catholic Church called at our office on Saturday last and handed in thirty dollars in gold, which he stated had been de livered by a person in the confessional to be disposed of as above mentioned. We pre sume it to be a case of conscience connected with some transaction of which we know nothing, and of course could inquire nothing ofthe worthy priest who received the money under the seal of confession.- The mention of the incident may possibly serve to prick the consciences of some delinquent subscri bers to our own or other journals ; though, in regard to our own, we must in grateful justice acknowledge we have but little to complain of.—Motional Intelligencer. A Cheap Luxury.—As a weary travel ler was wending his way through mud, out in a far west country, he discovered a young maiden standing in the door of a small log house. He rode up in the front ofthe house and asked the maiden fora drink of water. He drank it, and 6he be ing the first woman he had seen for several days, offered his a dime for a kiss. The youug maiden accepted both the kiss and the dime. The traveler was about to re sume his journey, hut the maiden, never having seen a dime before, asked— ‘What am I to do with the dime ?’ “You may useitinony way you wish, it is yours. That being the case,’ she replied, ‘I’ll give you back the dime for another kiss.’ Anecdote.—A good story of an old gen tleman, in one ofthp Southern States, who being very ill, an.1 supposing that his end was approaching, gave directions that an aged slave, who bad been very faithful to him should be called into his room. Sam soon made his appearance, and with a joy ful face drew near, his master, expecting that he was about to announce to him his purpose of leaving him free. “You know,” said the master, “you have been a faithful servant to me, Sam.” “Yea massa,” he re plied. Poor Sam expected the next sen tence to contain his freedom. “But,” said the massa kindly, ‘you know, Sam, I al ways treated you kindly.” “Yes, massa you did,” Sam was now all anxiety to hear and he looked gratefully into the face of his dying master, and waited to hear the sound of the charming word Freedom! But what was Sam’s disappointmrnt when he said—“In consideration of your long and faithful services, I have directed in my will that when you die you shall be buried by my side.” After a long pause, Sam repli ed. “Me no like it, indeed, massa, for some dark night Debel come, look for massa, and mistake and lake poor Sam.” A Yankee down east has mad^ the great discovery, that a window glazed with old hats, is a sure indication that the occupants ny have seen a rum bottle. That’s a fact. How to Get the Girls Married.—A. thriv ing trader in Wisconsin, claiming the pater nity of eleven daughters, greatly to the as tonishment of his neighbors, succeeded in marrying them all off in six months. A neighbor of his, who had likewise several single daughters, called upon bira to obtain the secret of his husband obtaining success, when the latter informed him he had made it a rule, after a young mail had paid hie attention to one of his girls -a fortnight, to .call qponKim with, revolver and request him to choose between death and main hi o- “You can imagine,” continued he “which af the two they preferred.” “i Will."—We like that strong robust expression. No one having uttered it sin cerely was ever a mean cringing mau. The pigmies of the world did not trouble him. He speaks and the indomitable will pre vails. His enemies fall before him. He rides forth a conqueror. Would you be great? Would you be distinguished for Four literary or scientific efforts? Look-not mournfully at your lot, but with “I will,” breathing upon your lips, and bursting from a great heart, you cannot but prevail. Show us the man who never rose higher than a toad-stool, and whose influence died with his breath, and we will pciutyou to a cring ing wretch, who trembled at the approach of a spider and fainted beneath a thunder cloud. Let the fires of energy play through your veins, and if your thoughts are diree- in the right channels, you will yet startle tho slumbering universe.—John Neal. Printer’s ’devils’ are generally great ‘ladies’ men,’ notwithstanding they have pretty hard names. Some time ago one of these hard named fellows and his lady love, were walking along chatting briskly upon the numerous topics of the day, 9he suddenly caught his hand and looking smilingly in his face asked ; ‘Do. you know why I cannot get reli gion ?’ ‘No my dear, I do not,’he replied. ‘It is because I love the Devil !’ An Irishman, who had commenced build ing a wall around his lot, of rather uncom mon dimensions—viz: four feet high, and six feet thick—was asked the object by a friend. “To save repairs, my honey, don’t you see that if it ever falls down, it will be high er than it is now.” tST “Does the court understand you to say, Mr. Jones, that you saw the editor of the Auger of Freedom intoxicated?” “Not at all, sir; I merely said that I have seen him frequently so flurried in his mind that he would undertake to cut copy out with the snuffers—-that’s all.” “Faint heart never won fair lady."— That’s as certain as death, and as evitable as taxation.
