POKIIIY. MY GENTLE SISTER KATE. SY MRS. SOrHU It. OLIVES. CM*! thou ait Eery sweet, Kate! Thine eye* aie ever blue, How like the violet’* hilken cheek, V.’lien bathed in diamond dew. Cr like the amethystine hue* That paint the summer sky, "While o’er thy pure and r «e-Lut'd check, ■ Ilojie’s sweet emotions fly ; And soft beneath thy fringed lids, With joyous Ilf' elate, Thy merry soul 'sheds summer round, My gentle sister Kate ! But though thy lofty brow is fair, Thy form of Grecian moulJ, And though thy auburn 1 1 esses fall In many a graceful fold ; An>l though around thy classic mouth The Sportive graces lie, Ami paint upon their rosy couch, The feelings as they fly ; let not for thesw, eh! not for these, Doth thy sweet form create Within my heart such tenderness, My gentle sister Kate! Oh, no! ’tis for the feelings warm Within thy heart enshrined, Thy artlessness —thy tenderness— The graces of thy mind; And for the sunny smile that plays Along tliy lovely face, ’Where our sweet mother's image fair Methinks I faintly trace. And for sweet visions of the past, With young joy animate, When thou wert home’s bright pleiad. My gentle sister Kate! I mind me of the l>ri_.ht eyed hours . When thou a lovely child, Poured forth thy bird-like melody “ In native wood-notes wild Thou wert a joyous fairy then, All witchery and mirth, Tho youngest of the kindred band, Around the household hearth. llow hn whose silvery locks lie low, Ah! then with life elate, Caught every lisping word of thine, My gt iiUo sister Kate! • Oil! oft o’er Heaven's blue summer sea, The moon hath sailed along, An l oft the sleeping flowers have bloomed At spring’s reviving song; Ami oft that moon hath looked on hopes Crushed in their virgin bloom, Those flowers have wept their incense tears O’er many a loved one’s tomb. But ah! for thee the bark of Time Hath brought a princely freight, Young Hope, ami Joy, and girlhood's prime liis generous gift, sweet Kate! Oh! Ihou, our youngest, fairest flower, Tile lambkin of tile fold, Sweet bird! whose soft melodious song, Along our hearts hath rolled; Bummer and light are in my soul When 1 recall thy face, Bo full of sunny radiance, Os witchery and grace. Oh! still may smoothly glide thy bark Along tlie sea of fate, An I bear thee to a port of bliss, My gentle sister Kate! The mild, quiet, ami familiar stylo of Young, and the far-reaching, bold, and inspiring genius of Byron, are fin-ly illustrated in the following passages, in which they labor to give poetic form tothe same idea : that of quiet content ill humble life, contrasted with the toils and unsatisfying rcwards'of ambition : • YOUNG. “Thrice happy they who sleep in humble life, Beneath the storm ambition blows. ’i is meet The great should have the fame of happiness, The consolation of a little envy ; ’Tis rill their pay for those superior cares, Those pangs at heart tiieir vassals ne’er can feel.” BYRON. "He who ascends to mountain tops, shall find The loftiest peaks most wrapped in clouds and snow He who surpasses or subdues mnnkin I, Must look down on the hate of those below. Though high, ahote, the sun of glory glow, And tar, beneath, the earth and ocean spread, liuund him are icy roS**, and loudly blow Contending tempests on his naked head, And thus reward the toils that to those summitsjed.’’ MISCELLANEOUS. From tl.e (lift for 1944. THE UNKNOWN BELLE. I am no lover of mystery. Enigmas are my detestation. When a boy, study ing Ovid, 1 used to regard the conduct of Sphinx with unmitigated disgust. 1 considered her the most intolerable of an tique bores, and CEdipus a patient dunce. The proceedings of Alexander in cutting the Gordian knot, instead of puzzling himself by attempting to untie it, met with my lienity approval. I loved him from the moment I was made aware of that incident in his career. But when a mystery comes in the shape of a pretty woman, that is a different matteraltogeth er. My antipathies give way like blocks of ice before a spring freshet. Listen to iny story. It was one of the gayest of the gay sea sons at Washington. The first of a series of brilliant balls at the White House had commenced. The east room was crowded with all the beauty, resident and transitory, of the District. Foreign ministers and attaches, with their stars, garters, ribands, breeches, and silk stock ings—members of Congress with their thumbs in their arms holes of their wais coat—lndian chiefs deputed by their tribes, with their plumes and painted feathers—office-seekers, idlers and lobby - loungers were the principal constituents of the male portion of the assemblage. Add to these some hundreds of invited guests, who came because they felt they had a proprietary mterest in the mansion and an idea may be formed of the density and mixed character of the crowd. Half a dozen quadrilles and waltzes had been completed. A number of the more provident and sagacious of the guests had begun to take up a line o" march toward the supper-room; and the tit net if, tired of joMlir? one mother, 1 were endeavorin'! to retreat, \\ lien oneot • the 1 managers called tij;on the gentleti.ci: to form anew cotillion, ai.d at tht> same time, causin'! tlie . tariders-l-y te fall I ack, opened a circle, and then ltd forth irom the dense throng—from which she seem ed to emerge like the evenin'! star from behind a cloud—a young and beautiful female. A general murmur of surprise : and admiration greeted her appcajance. “ Who e - an she be 7” 41 Did any one ever see her before? “ What a figure !” 41 What a face!”—were the has*y whis pers exchanged among the spectators. — So great was the anxiety to see her, that the space cleared for the dancers was al most immediately filled up. No one seemed able to give the slightest informa tion as to who she was—when or whence she came. It all seemed to rue fora mo ment, a fairy-like delusion. Was ] not at the ball given by Prince Fortnnatus, and was not this Cinderalla herself! 1 glanced down .'it her feet; they were marvellouslvsmall, and the glossy white satin slippers shone like glass. The de lusion grew stronger, never before had 1 experienced so forcibly the potency of the imagination. 1 began to wonder wheth er or not she won and disappear in coarse attire when the clock struck twelve. 1 was aroused from my reverie by be ing seized by the band by the manager, (at the moment 1 took him for Prince tfortunatus,) who had hastily introduced me as a partner to the fair unknow:.; and, as 1 afterwards learned, bestirred himself to keep back the crowd, and create room for the quadrille, llow daz ziingly beautiful she was I Ordinary beauties may he described in detail—but Miss Smith (yes that was the name by which she was introduce 1 to me) startled you by the perfect unity of her charms. You could not pick out one feature or one quality as beautiful, because it was a part of a perfectly beautiful whole, and was therefore iaultlcas, as a matter o! course. Her countenance was a lucid mirror of every pa singtlionght and emo tion of her soul : and if occasionally the expression was melancholy it was always lovely, like a mountain lake the aspect of which no change of sky can render less picturesque, but in which every change develops new beauties. It took a minute or two to rally my thoughts and reco!lections, and to con vince myself that 1 had neither walked into the wrong room nor the s\ tong cen tury. The lady spake first. Her voice touched me likeran zEolian harp, it was so musically sad. Some young fops of my acqnaintaiic twitched me by the el bow, and, significant winks, indicated their wish to he introduced. Miss Smith penetrated their designs, and said to me, in a delightful and confidential tone “ Don’t introduce any to me hut members of Congress.” The remark puzzled me excessively, but i bowed mjr acquies cence! We squeezed through the quadrille with tolerable success; and as the gen tleman manager, who had consigned the fair incognita to my charge, did not make his appearance, I was felicitating myself with the idea that she would accompany me to the supper-mom, when, slightly pressing my arm with her hand, the di rected my attention to a young wiitle man, who had been gazing at her wiih Undisguised symptoms of admiration, and asked if he were not Mr. Iv , tile member from New York, 1 replied in the affirmative. “He is quite a favorite with the .old Roman—is lie not!"’ asked the lady. 44 Undoubtedly, and in the lower house he i« fast acquiring influence.” 4 Is lie married V ‘Y-o-e-s,’ 1 replied, confounded at the quite, business-like manner in which the question was put. ‘Then introduce him’said Miss Smith. ‘Certainly. Hut why is it tlint you are less merciful than that gaunt Indian chief, who gave such connoi vseur-iike glance at your flowing hair 7’ ‘lnterpret.’ ‘He Contents himself wit!) taking scalps; hut you—you must have liearls.’ She answered only by a melancholy smile and shakeol the head ; and 1 forth with introduced Mr. K. to her. Puzzled and chagrined, I made toy way to die supper-room, where I was instantly assailed by a shower of ques tions from the ladies, arid of compliments from the gentlemen, whose importunities I had disregarded. Murmurs, low hut deep, were uttered against me, when it was* found that L had elicited nothing from my late partner that could allay die general curiosity in regard to her. Ail that 1 could communicate was that sfle was Miss Smith ; and every one seemed to regard this piece of intelligence as in volving the subject in profound rob cu rity. 'Pile lady’s remark in regard to the members of Congress, I kept to my self. A series of brilliant entertainments, given by the hospitable and noble-hearted residents of Washington, succeeded the ball at the White I louse. At all of them Miss S. was preedit, and at all of them she was indisputably the belle of the even ing. Perhaps the appellation is a wrong one ; for, apart from her dazzling hi ant e, there was little of the self-assured and flattered belle in Iter appearance and de meanor. Her conversation was always cheerful and animated, but an interest! and observer (and l acknowledge that 1 soon became one) could detect beneath her ap parent gaiety the pre-occupation of a heart filled with some secret sorrow.— This conviction soon checfrfed the ten dency of my feelings towards her; and 1 had not met her three times beforethe lover was merged in the friend. Still the mystery as to who she was and whence she came was kept up. All that the most inquisitive observer could d'co er was, that she resided in a re spec able private family in Georgetown, the nrstre sos v hieh, ’(Mrs. If thud!, though she did not = o it;to society liertvii yet held that position which would cure an entree to any young female under her protection. On being question- don the subject of Miss Smith, Mrs. Bultwelli would reply that she could avouch for j her respectabi ity ; but, beyond that,-she knew nothing in regard to her parentage ! or history. Os course, this half-way in telligence, contributed still further to j ique | uiilic curiosity, and to render the unknown belle stiil more an object of marvel and of interest. 'The fact that no one among the throngs who daily visited . Washington, from all parts of the Union, land of the world, had never seen her or heard of her before, also added to die general perplexity. Several yon g men ; attempted to lay direct siege to her heart, j and innumerable were the j :ponicns and j the serenades with which they endeavor ed to facilitate tiieir approaches; but | they elicited from her no manner of en-1 coiiingemcnt. She received their atten-! tion with “sad civility," and. as soon as j possible, got rid of them, and exerted her j powers of fascination over some iuffiien-1 tiai member of Congress. One morning 1 called upon her at Mrs. 1 Bothwolt’s. As i ascended the stairs, in advance oi the servant, 1 glanced acciden tally at a mirror through the open door of an apartment. A reflection of two figures arrested my attention. One was the lady 1 had come to visit; the other was ?i young man, with features wan hut highly intellectual, and a somewhat at tenuated frame. The lady’s hand was run through the thick hair that clustered about his pale forehead, and she was gaz ing in 1 1 is face with an expression of deep and tender solicitude. sound very much like a kiss succeeded this mo mentary attitude. Reluctant to disturb such an interview, ! returned to retreat, but accidentally came in contact with the servant, who, tumbling half-way down stairs, effectually interrupted the affec tionate scene in the parlor. \\ ithout inore ado, after a preliminary shuffling of my feet to apprize the parties that some one was coming, 1 entered the room. An oppo ite door closed as Miss Smith a. vanced to receive me, and I Ikfi cl a dry, ominous cough proce* and fipm the departing visiter. It fecund to fail heavi ly upon tiie lady’s heart, forshe stoj |Hti short, pressed her hands to her eyes, and heaved i sigh. Quickly rallying, how ever, sire summoned a sweet smile toiler lips, and received me, with kindness.— We conversed a few minutes on different subjects, and 1 took an early h ave. As 1 drove home to Gadshy’s my fnirid wasmore lost than ever in conjecture as to this exceedingly beautiful l ie mysteri ous young lady. \\ ho could the gen tleman he, on whom she had lavis! cd ■an h tokens of endearment ? Was lie a lover or a husband 7 If either, why did lie not accompany her into society 7 Or if his health tiid ru t permit such in dulgence, how could she quit him to be come the cynosure ot the bull-room * — Perhaps lie was it brother. No, a sister could never have bestowed such an cm r ce. What could it nil mean 7 . A week alter this interview, 1 called at the W hite House with a frit nd from Ungktnd, who was desirous of an intro duction tothe remarkable man whothen occupied the pre'idential chair. We were received b Jemmy Grant, the Irish doorkeeper, who. with an absence of cere mony which astonished my transatlantic companion, took us up stairs, and, point ing to the cabinet chamber, said: •• You will find the o'd man in that room.”— Aware of Jemmy’s despotic character, 1 cthered without farther question. The first object 1 saw was .Miss Smith, lifting the President’s hand to her lips, while an expree ion oi e most gratitude irradiated her face. She held a document with a < tl which looked like some official com mission. Two or three members of Con gress. who had apparently accompanied h r, were present. On beholding the | .group I drew hack ; but I was too late to | escape, unobserved. The President call-1 id upon me, by name, to enter; and .Miss .Smith turning at the same moment gree-! led me witii inimitable grace. “A coll of the House!” exclaimed Jemmy Grant in his gruff voice thrusting I his head abruptly into the room, and as quickly withdrawing it. “The sergeant-at-iirms will leafier us,” exc burned one of the representatives. “ Wo are not wanted at the Capitol,” said another. “W ill you not accompany us, Mrs. Smith since we cannot return to your home with you ?” “ Here is one to whose care you may confide me. May they not?” said Miss Smith turning to me. Os course i acquiesced, with many blessings upon Jemmy Grant tor scatter ing the Congressmen. Introducing my friend to the Chief Magistrate, l gave my arm to the lady, and we took our leave. When we were seated in the carriage, she exclaimed, pressing the parchment, she held to hei heart: 4 At length 1 have succeeded! An explanation is due to you ; lor you were one oi the lew who have respected my secre', and evinced no idte curiosity. L)j not took as ii 1 were on the eve ot revealing some great my lery ; tor my story U a very simple o. o, and can be to din a very tew word . iam from u very small and obsure village m the upper j art ol the ,State of New York, where t inrd with my husband, a young lawyer; mini lie was visited by u pu.- moiiary ad. ctio.i, which excited ny con statu ntixu ty. The j iiysicians saiu there was safety m flight to a tropical clime.-- i Gur means were too limited to allow of i s ncli a removal. At my suggestion, my j husband visited Washington, and made | strenuous exertions to procure a small post under Government ut the West la mes. He tailed; tor tie had never been a politician ; and ot' course no po,ideal capital Wou.d accrue to the administra tion by his appointment. 1 had read m universal liiatoiy, as wed as in that ot the prisent uuiastj, ol the influence of no lutui iu clirnLi vL state, J persuaded my j iu i sband to di-pose of our iltie farm, and accompany me to Washing on. We came. From the circumstance of his i.i ness, I could not appear well in society otherwise than I did as a single young Indy. I acquainted myself with die mo t prominent members of Congress - made them sharers of myconfi leiice~interested them in my .behalf, and this day succeed ed in procuring my poor husband’s ap pointment to an excellent post in South America. He is now in Georgetown, and has no hopes of my success. Come and he a partner of our happiness.” Her eyes flashed with her elated feel ings. An expression full of triumph and hope beamed from every feature. Never had she seemed half so beautiful. 'Phe carriage stopped, and we {flighted. A physician’s chaise was at the door.— My companion did not seem to notice it, but ran up the steps, in front of the bouse atid eagerly rang the bell. Never shall I fb’get her face and figure, ns she turned to me, while impatiently waiting ; lor an answer to her summons, and ex | ultingly shook in her extended hand the parchment commission. The door was | opened. What an expression of grief and commiseration is in that face I It is Mrs. Both well. My companion paused suddenly, and gazed several moments, without speaking, in her eyes. Too well she read their story. The parchment drops from- her hands ; and, with the moan of a breaking heart, she sinks Lack insensible in my arms. The commission had come too late I The subject of it had been appointed to a higher post than any which human pow er could have established. But what became of the “ unknown belle 7” Alas I never again was the blight saloon made brighter by her pre sence ! Never again were her syipli-.ike feet seen to twinkle in the mazy dance ! Never again did that beautiful term (more beautiful than young sculptors’ pictures in their dreams) attract the ad miring eyes of a festive assembly I—Such was her devoted affection, that she soon followed its departed object to that hap pier land, where pure souls find their lasting reward.

Take your ti ue—pick your way, and keep your eyes open—and you will arrive at the end of your journey, without getting sore-loottd, and perket v satise, and w ill) w h itev r acids may have been min led u idi the saccharine juices o life. Don’t ! e too eager to get rich. Take your i.mo for that—and above ail, take your pick oul of those lovely candidates for mat-n --itiony, which adorn the fair dominion o maidenhood. The girls are beautiful blossoms that bud ui and b oom spontane ously, as it were, along the lonely walks of celibacy. Grasp them not toohastiiy, ii-st you he. pierced with thorns—-and re member, too, that the fuiugst and sweet est flowers the soonest lose their beauty and fragrance.

My young beloved sisters in r-in l know you till have an itching desire to get married; and 1 fain would see you happy in the sacred bands of Hymen, and your hearts garlanded with the never fa ding wreaths of love. But just wait your time, my dears, or your prospects of mat rimony will be as slim as a crop of corn in a cow pasture. If you flirt with fools —flutter round fops and to low the gen tlemen instead of waiting for the gentle men to follow you—you will probably soon be compelled to take your time; and perchance, be left to decay, wither, and dry up i»* ’he cold uncongenial at mosphere of neglect. Act with becoming modesty—sit still upon the blooming banks of Dove’s limp ed waters, as you throw out your entic ing flies tor us fish to bite at —don’t run up mid down the stream in search of suckers that merely smell of the bait and never hitch on, but keep quiet, w ait with patience and you may at least get a cattish for your pains.
