THE FORGOTTEN.
BY OERTItriIE OAI!LT IE R .
Think not to move me by the thornc
Os happy hours and dreams long past;
Those idle visions o'er my brow
May not one shadow cast.
My heart owns many a gentle spell.
Although from Love's vaiti thraldom free,
And many a thrilling memory,
That brings no thought o 1 thee.
Or if, perchance, such thoughts should rise,
They Bit across my memory,
As when the fleeting cloudlets throw
Their shadows o’er the lea:
For, as the dew upon tlio spray.
Or tho leaf uj en the stream,
Or like those meteor lights that gleam
With bright bnt fading ray;
Or as a strain, once heard, forgot.
Or as a dream, remembered not,
Though sweet it once might he;
Or a the snow upon the lea,
Or the foam of the billowy sea.
When the waves, in harmony,
Mingle their chimes with the breezes free;
Those memories are to mo !
For the sunbeams shall drink the flagrant di w,
And the leuf (lout away on the rippling tide ;
Ere long, ’neath oblivion’s sands to hide
From all eyes its vordarit hue;
And the sunny spring, with smile of light.
The grassy lawn from its mantle white,
With her magic breath shall free;
And the radiant stars, that calmly view
The quiet expanse of the ocean blue,
Shall naught of the foam-wreath see.
TCHOOSING A_ HUSBAND.
‘Caroline, you are twenty-one!’
1 1 know it full well, ami I assure you
no one regrets it more than myself; but
really, I cannot help laughing at the idea
of marrying Sir Thomas Lupton.’
‘And why?’ said Lady Montague, grave
ly ; 1 he is a man of good family and ex
cellent estate—highly connected—his mo
ther is the daughter of a Duke ; and he is
a member of Parliament for the borough of
Dundcrton.’
‘Yes, and sent us the Dunderton Jour
nal, containing his election speech, with
an account how he was cheered, feasted
and flattered on that occasion, showing
that- Sir Thomas, whatever he tnay be here,
is at least a great man in Dundcrton. Nay,
nay,’ added the laughing girl, throwing
hack the jetty ringlets which seemed sport
ively to fall over her bright black eyes
‘ pray, my dear mamma, turn to the tablets
again.’
‘Well, there is young Lord Flowcrdale.’
‘ A poet, and a man of sentiment—writes
pastorals; and told me, the other day, with
a simper, that our grandmothers showed
excellent taste in being painted as shepherd
esses. The man may marry his grandmo
ther, if he chooses.’
* Caroline, Caroline, pray be serious.—
Flowerdale, I am convinced, loves you.’
‘The tablets! the tablets! my mamma; 1
so long to hear the rest of the list.’
‘ The next, then, is Captain Bolton, of
the Guards, prospective heir of a Marquis
ite, and, it is said, has broken the hearts of
several ladies already.’
‘ So, indeed, it is ; but until I hear some
well authenticated Tact of death having so
occurred, such as the verdict of a Coroner’s
inquest, died by visitation of Capt. Bolton,
or the certificate of two respectable physi
cians, on my soul and conscience i’ll never
believe it.’
‘Well, really! now, I always imagined
that the Captain was a favorite of yours.
Pin sure, at Lady Vernon’s rout—’
‘ He talked tome of nothing but his new
uniform, and during the rest of the evening
he stood in lordly silence, in a conspicuous
part of the room, with his lip curled ala
Byron , and. in the attitude of Napoleon
storming a bridge. I thought that even you
had seen that man was a fool. But who is
next on the list?’
‘ Mr. Doddridge—nephew, you know, to
the Bishop of , and a rising man in the
church. He took high honors at Oxford,
and is, besides, an excellent, worthy young
man.’
‘ Good, perhaps, bnt prosy. Moreover,
ma, he wears spectacles and a white neck
cloth—things to which 1 have an uncon
querable aversion. However, he is a very
excellent, worthy young man, as you so
justly observe, and is remarkably qualified
to be ‘a friend of the family.’ But are
these all ?’
‘ There is yet one more,’ said Lady Mon
tague, mournfully: ‘SirßobertTeinplefon.’
‘A dear, good old soul—a second Sir
Toby Belch, but, unfortunately, equally
dissipated. He would make an excellent
uncle! 1 don’t dislike dissipated uncles
my self—ft seems to show that there is spirit
in the family; a nearer relation to such peo
ple is bad. But can yoa really wish me,’
said Caroline high seriously, while her
I dark eyes brightened with sudden feeling,
1 could you really wish your daughter to
marry an old and dissipated man, like Sir
| Robert Templeton ?’
1 Neither so old or so very dissipated,’
replied Irady Montague, petulantly. ‘He
was a great friend of your father’s, though
a much younger man than lie. His habits
are of the old school; but he is one of the
• wealthiest men in the House of Commons,
where he has represented the county of
for many years. And lie is a ‘ good
countryman,’ a ‘ spirited agriculturist,’ and
an enlightened ‘ member of committee on
the turnpike roads.”
1 My dear mamma, I know all his good
qualities, as well as a few of his bad ones;
so be assured 1 do not reject him ignorant
ly. But you have concluded your list
now; pray lend me your tablets, and you
shall hear mine.’
Caroline Montague took up the pencil,
and, with a hand as white as the ivory tab
lets which she held, rapidly traced a name
on them—then looked at her mother, as if
hesitating.
‘Well, Caroline, proceed.’
‘The first, then, is Edward Hastings.’
‘Edward Hastings!’ cried Lady Mon
tague, in surprise.
‘Mr. Edward Hastings,’ cried the ser
vant, throwing open the door, and the gen
tleman, as if by magic, stood before them.
Lady Montague drew herself up on her
cushioned chair, and put the tips of her
jewelled fingers into Hastings’ hand, while
Caroline, with a face covered with blushes,
permitted him to seat himself beside her on
the sofa, while her eye glanced restlessly
towards her mother, whose looks were
freezing and formal.
‘Now, I know not,’ “aid Hastings, ‘if
you ought to condole with me for my be
reavement —having lost a cousin three times
removed—or congratulate me on the acqui
sition of his title and estate.’
Caroline turned quickly round to Has
tings, and Lady Montague's look relaxed.
‘ May I ask,’ said her ladyship, after a
moment’s pause, ‘ who this cousin is ?’
‘Sir John Hastings, of Harthoust Moor.’
‘What! llarthoust Moor, R shire?’
‘The very same; and, I assure you, a
fortune was never more unexpectedly ac
quired, or confcrted upon one who stood in
greater need of it. than the now present and
worthy baronet of that name.’
‘I assure you, Mr. Hastings—Sir Ed
ward, I mean,’ said Lady Montague, with
a faoe of smiles and sunshine, “1 sincere
ly rejoice at your good fortune, and so, 1
atn sure, does Caroline; blit,’continued her
ladyship, rising tip and looking at her
watch,, ‘ I hope you will excuse me at
present, as I have an engagement at .’
‘Certainly,’ said Hastings, ‘1 hope yon
will not remain a single moment on my
account.’
J,ady Montague had almost reached the
door, when suddenly turning round, she
exclaimed, ‘ Oh ! 1 forgot the tablets.’
‘Mamina,’ said Caroline, with an arch
look, as she still held them in her hand, ‘do
you know I think they are turned?’
‘Give them to me, foolish girl.’
‘ Nay, let me keep them; they contain a
list I much want to preserve.’
* Caroline, you are detaining me,’ said
Lady Montague, as she took the tablets,
and left the room.
‘ You look graver now,’ said Hastings,
observing the shade on the brow of the fair
girl by his side. ‘ln sooth.it is not fair to
banish your smiles at a time like this.’
‘I cannot choose but be so, for I have
had a lecture this morning on the choice of
a husband—a grave subject, you must al
low.’
‘And I heard a name as 1 entered the
room,” said Hastings passing his arm round
the waist of the blushing girl ; ‘ had you
the boldness, my Caroline, to-*-’
‘ Break the ice, but not quite thaw it—
that has been done by your cousin three
times removed.’

A TRAVELLER'S STORY.
The story 1 was about to tell isn't much
jof a yarn (said the officer called upon, a
1 young South Carolinian,) its only recom
! mendation consists in its being new and
true, as we sav in the Palmetto State.
Such as it is you are welcome to it.
‘ Liftenant, take a little of the squeezed
litnon before ye begin,’
i Thank you, Capt. Ilennesy, (said the :
lieutenant) your health, sir. Well, gentle- 1
men, about six months ago, I had occasion
to make a journey to Pensacola, travelling
on horseback across the State of Georgia.
It is well known that there are large tracts
in the territory of our Southern neighbor,
that have proved very ungrateful to the la
bors of the husbandman. (Here Laurens
looked at the Major with a peculiar expres
sion.) These districts are, in consequence,
but sparsely settled, and ill-provided with !
the necessaries of life.
On the third day of my journey, I had
ridden about twenty miles through one of ;
these tracts—a dry', pine barren, without
having caught the glimpseof a human hah-1
itation. 1 was faint with hunger and thirst; |
so was my horse, who would slretch out
his neck and groan piteously at each new
prospect of the hot sandy road that opened
before us. The poor brute was ready to
drop, when, on turning a corner, you may
fancy my delight at seeing a large and sub
stantial log house, with a pine mast stuck
up before the door, and a broad swinging
sign, upon which was legible in bold char
acters, the word 1 Hotel!’
I rubbed my eyes, and then shaded them
with my lmml, to make sure that it was not
the mirage, which frequenly makes its ap
pearance upon these sandy plains. But no;
it was a house, sure enough—and better
still, a hotel.
1 straightened tnyself up in the saddle.
My horse whinnied, and stepped out cheer
ily. ‘ Come, said I, patting him on the
neck, ‘ we’re through it at last, old fellow;
you’ll soon be up to your ears in the best
Georgia corn, and I— ’ here the anticipated
enjoyment of ham and eggs, fried chicken,
strong coffee, hot biscuit, or waffles, and
perhaps a pickle or so, deprived me of the
power of speech, and I rode up to the ‘Hotel’
in silence.
As I rode nearer the house, it began to
look weather-beaten and desolate like, and
1 was growing fearful it might be uninhabi
ted ; but no—there sat the landlord in the
porch, and, I take it, his two sons— 1 it’s all
right,’ thought I, and 1 rode up and drew
bridle, in iront of the door.
“Ehe three individuals whom I had ob
served in the porch—three sallow dry-look
ing chaps, in their shirt sleeves—did not
move an inch. lam not certain that they
even changed the direction of their eyes.
A couple of gaunt, yellow dogs that lay
on the stoop, remained equally motion
less.
‘ Come.’ thought I, ‘ this is cool for peo
ple who keep a house of entertainment—
they ought to know, from the direction
l have come, that I intend to put up for the
j night—they might offer to take one’s horse,
‘ f should think.’ But no one stirred. I be
gan to thing that the house might not be
i a tavern, as 1 Lad at first supposed ; and I
j again looked tip at the sign. Enough—
\ the word ‘ Hotel ’ was there in large let
i ters.
‘ Can I stop here for the night ?’ I in
quired, at length. T waited for an answer,
but none came. I repeated the question
in a louder and more imperious tone.
‘Youkenifyer like, stronger,’ replied
the oldest of the three, but without moving
a muscle, except those of his mouth.
‘Have you got any corn ?’ inquired I,
intending to make sure before alighting, as
the house, on a nearer inspection, looked
naked and empty.
1 Got any corn ?’ echoed the same speak
er as before.
1 Yes,’ .said I, 1 corn.’
‘No—wehaint got any,’ was the re
ply.
‘Well, have you got any fodder, then V
‘ Got any bidder ?’
‘ Yes—fodder!’
‘No—we haint got any.’
‘ This is bad,’ thought I— 1 my poor horse
—I will have to turn him loose, and 1
might as well tie him up,’ I continued to
| reflect, as on looking around I could not
see a blade of grass within the circuit of a
mile. ‘ I hail best hitch him to the post—
take a hurried snack, and ride on to the
next house—but first let me see what they
can give me.’
All the time I was occupied with these
reflections, the three men had remained si
lent and motionless, except when one or
the ether of them would raise his hand and
bring it down with a smart slap over his
cheek, or along his thigh, or behind his ear,
as though one and all of them had been af
flicted with the malady of St. Vitus.
I was, at first, startled with these demon
strations, but upon a little reflection, 1 per
ceived that my saturnine friends were only
killing mosquitoes.
1 Have you got any ham and eggs V T
asked, at length.
‘ Got any ham and eggs?’ echoed the j
original speaker, with an emphasis, that j
clearly hetokoned surprise.
1 Yes—ham and eggs,’ repeated I.
‘ No—wc hailit got any.’
‘ A pity,’ thought I—l was fond of ham
and eggs ; • have you got any chickens,
theni
‘ Chickens V
‘ Yes,’ said l, 1 chickens.”
* No—we haint got any chickens, necry j
chicken.’
* Well, have you got any meat ?’
‘ Got any meat ?’
‘ Yes—any sort of meat—beef, pork,
mutton, oi veal; Lin not perticular —I’m
hungry.’
‘No—we haint got any.’
‘ Have you any bread then ?’
‘ Any bread V
‘ Yes, bread—a piece of bread and a
glass of water—that, to a hungry man, is
a banquet.’
‘No—we haint got no bread.’
‘ Well, my friend, have you got any
thing to eat of any kind V
1 Anythin’ to cat of any kind ?’
‘ Yes—anything—l’m as hungry as :
wolf.’
‘No, —we haint got nothing to cat of
necry kind ?’
‘ Well, old fellow, will you tell me how
you do here, anyhow ?’
1 Very well, thank ye, stienger, how de :
yer deo, yerself ?’
1 gave a violent wrench at the bridle,
which brought my horse round like a piv
ot, and digging the spurs into his sides, I
headed him at the road. But the poor
beast did not need any driving ; for, wheth
er he had been satisfied by his own inspec
tion of the place, or whether he had un
derstood the conversation, he. broke into a
desperate gallop, and did not stop until he
had reached the top of a long hill. Here I
had the curiosity to turn round in the sad
dle, and look back ; and to my astonish
ment, the three men were still seated just
as I had left them ; and I really believe
that they are sitting there to this day!’—
Mayne Reid's new work, ‘ War Life.’
THE CENSUS JN “ DUTCH.”
A friend of ours relates a number of com
ical adventures which he met with, a few
months ago, while engaged in taking the
census. The following might serve as a
caution to future census takers, among the
down-town population. The scene was
in a little one story brick building consist
ing of two room®, one of which was used
as a parlor, kitchen and dinning-room, the
other as a work-shop, dog-kennel and hen
roost. Entering the first, with hat in hand
and his book under his arm, our friend re
peated the bow that he had made to a score
of other families that morning, accompany
ing it with the usual exclamation and in
quiry, “I am taking the census ; you will
be gooff enough to tell me the number of
tenants there are in your house?” Near
ly ihe xvhole family were at the time in
the room. A small wrinkled-up man sat
by the fire, mending a harness; a large,
ruddy-faced frau, at a table in the further
end of the apartment, was working dough,
and used a beer bottle as a roller, and five
or six curly-headed urchins, en chemise,
were running and tumbling about the floor.
At the appearance of a stranger, there was
a general suspension of operations, and to
his question the only response was along
stare from every member of the family.
“Will you sir,” said the gentleman,after
a short silence, addressing himself partic
clarly to the man who sat near the fire,
“will you tell me the number who lodge
in this house ?”
“ leh kan nicht English sprechen,” the
man muttered, arid then he commenced to
sew on his harness, just as if he had given
the questioner the amplest gratification.
“Wont you, madam, be so kind as,—
“ Nein, nein,” exclaimed the woman in
terrupting him, as she seized the bottle
and commenced a furious course of roll
ings over the dough, “ Jell kan nicht Eng
lish sprechen.”
In a calm fit of desperation, our friend
closed the book, replaced it under his arm,
and with an internal vision of a long and
disagreeable walk in search of an interpre
ter, he proceeded towards the door—when,
as he laid his hand upon the latch, one of
the little brats pulled him back by the
coat-tail.
“John sprecht English,” said the urchin
inspired no doubt by all the wisdom of the
family; “ John sprecht English.”
Here was a means of overcoming the
obstacle, and our friend turned back,
with brightened hopes.
“John speaks English —well, where is
John? Go and call him. What, can none
of you understand me?— co and ket Shon.’
And by a great many pantomimic gesticu
lations, with rather a lame dash on Ger
man, he managed to make himself under
stood. The hoy ran out by the back door
and soon came back, leading in a stout
good-natured looking lad, of about four
teen, all smiles and dirt. The conversation
was carried on, from this time, in a rather
summary manner.
“Can you speak English?” asked the
gentleman.
“ Fa,” answered the boy.
“Ask your father luiw many there are
who live in this house.”
After a translation of the question to the
harness man, and after being instructed in
his answer, the boy resumed .
“ Mine fater says, vot for ?”
Here the gentleman went on to give a
long explanation of census-taking, its cause
its object, and the probable benefits arising
from it. It started them off on a long dis
cission. At last the hoy received his or
ders and answered:
“ Mine fater says, tere ish etght and ein' t
luilben in ter vainily.”
“ What the deuce do you mean by eight :
and eu i luilben 1”
There was a broad grin or the harness j
man’s countenance, as he seized his awl •
and commenced operations on the harness
with redoubled energy. The stout lady
seized her bottle, and started a fresh series
of strong rollings, whilst the interpreter, i
with a very knowing smile, continued :
“ Yon see, zur, tore i>h six in ter vamily
now; in two or three week mine fater
tinks there will be seven
“This was counting the chickens!—
With a silent apostrophe to the enlighten- 1
nient of the age, the gentleman opened hi.-
book and wrote;
“Peter Breckuhoss, and Minnie, his j
wife, have seven children-three boys, three
girls and one doubtful
tkjf “ Ciesar,” said a negro to a color
el friend of his, “ which do you tink is de
mose useful of de commels— de sun or de
moon
“ Well, Clem, I don't tink I should be
able to answer dat question, seein’ as how
l neber had much book larnin. -1
“ Well, Ciesar, I ’speck de moon ortcr
take de fuss rank in dat particular.”
“Why, so, nigger.”
“Because de moon shines in de night
when we need de light, and de sun shines ,
in de day time when delight am oh no con
sequence.”
“ Well, Clem, you is de most larned
darkey I ever seed; I guess yon used to
sweep out a school-house for a libin.”
The Lexington Budget says that
“Mother Kve married a gardener.” To
which the Louisville Journal replies: “ It
might have been added, that the said gard
ener, in consequence of this imprudent
match, lost his situation.”
Punch says he knows a man so
fat that they grease waggon wheels with
his shadow.
fcaT We often hear of Irish gallantry,
but Africa is equal to Ireland. A negro
driver of a coach in Texas, stopping to get
some water for the young ladies in the
carriage, being asked what he stopped for,
replied, “ I am watering my flowers.” A
more delicate compliment could not have
been paid.
Hiss” A lady, named Mary Ann Ald
ridge, had occasion to send a note to a gen
tleman, and put two r's into her first name
in the signature, thus: “ Marry Ann Ald
ridge.” The man was a bachelor, and
consequently took the hint.
JUta?” The Olive Branch say's that “ old
Jacob Townsend” employs two million
men to dig Sarsaparilla, and is in treaty
with Government for Lake Superior to
boil it in. llow he is to get fuel enough
to heat the water he docs not say—but wc
suppose he will tow Mount Vesuvius over
and sink it under the Lake.

WEEKLY GAZETTE.
BEING anew and much enlarged series of tho

to Literature and the Arts in general—and de
signed for the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs leave to announco that,
on Saturday, the sth of May, lie issued the first
number, for the second year, of this popular and
well established paper,—the name and form of
which he has changed, to enlarge the scope of its
observation, and to otherwise increase its attrac

Literature, the Arts , and Sciences,
it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it,
iu every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,

best!” Utterly discarding tho notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with tho North
ern weeklies, in cheapness and interest,
RICHARDS’ WEEKLY GAZETTE
shall be equal, in mechanical execution, to any
of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value
of its contents, second to none. Jts field will bo
THE world, and it will contain, in its ample folds

Especial attention will be paid to the subject of
SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.
Numerous articles, original and selected, from
the best sources, will be published weekly, on
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will
bo frequently
Illustrated with Wood Cuts!
Every number will contain careful and copious
sutnmaiies of the latest
FOREIGN Ay 1) DOMESTIC NEWS’

July Ist, 1849. ltf
The literary and moral tone of Richards’*
Gazette arc both of a hi* r h order, and we are not
acquainted with a weekly journal in any part of
the country which habitually imparts more val
uable information on all those subjects which
hallow the hearth stone of home. —Nut tonal In
telligencer.
We congratulate Mr. Richards on the taste
and ability displayed in his columns.—JV. Y-
Literary American.
The “Gazette” is edited byWm. C. Rich
ards, Esq., a scholar and a writer ot the highest
order, and one who knows how to get up a good
paper. Success, we say, to it and him.— Boston
Sat. Rambler.
This fine literary journal, printed at Athens,
Ga ,is now issued iu folio form, aud makes an
elegant appearance. The last number camo
brimtul of good things ; and, indeed, every issue
bears evidence that the editor spares no pains to
make a first class paper. If our Southern friends
do not sustain him, it must be because their vis
ion is telescopic, and can detect no excellence un
less it shines from afar.— Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards deserves success, for his enter
prise and perseverance and this, as a Family
Newspaper, will, without doubt, in its moral
tone, be immeasurably above the catch-penny af
fairs lrom Northern cities.— Cherokee Advocate.
It is a beautifully printed sheet, ably managed,
and contains juirt first of tho prize story, for
which the propietor paid fifty dollars. This sto
ry is a beautiful production, and is written by
that “reputable* ar.d polished authoress, Mrs
Caroline Lee 1 lentz. — Am. Union , (Boston.)
Wo take great pleasure in recommending this
weekly to the favorable consideration and patron
age of the reading community. It makes an im
posing appearance. The Gazette is an imperial
sheet, good paper, liandsotuely executed and till’
ed with well-written aud interesting matter. It
numbers among its contributors several distin
guished writers.— Mirror oj the Times. (iV. F )
This transformation of the “ Southern Literary
Gazette comes to us nowise deteriorated from tho
original. In all “ save form alone,' 9 it bears the
same marks of literary and artistic excellence,
and we trust will long receive the bright smile of
pecuniary suooeflfl.— Excelsior. ( Boston )
The Literary Gazette, of Athens, Georgia, has
commenced a second volume ; folio form, pretty
head, &c. The new dress is beautiful and tho
Gazette overflows—its old boundaries at least —
with a literary chowder of the first cut. — Auro
ra Borealis.
It has now entered on its new year enlarged
and very much improved. As this is the only pa
\ er devoted exclusively to Southern interests, it
ought to ho most liherallv patronized by tho?e
ftr whom it is intended.— iMwf* Ouzftte.
