S>©Blf For Richard*’ Weekly Gazette. 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.’ RULES FOR THE JOURNEY OF LIFE. The following rules, from ihe papers of Doctor West, were, according to his memo randum, thrown together as general way marks in the journey ot life. Never to ridicule sacred things, or what others may esteem such, however absurd they may appear to be. Never to show levity when people are professedly engaged in worship. Never to resent a supposed injury, till I know the views and motives of the author of it. Nor on any occasion to rejaliatc. Never to judge a person’s character by external appearance. Always to take the part of an absent person who is censured in company, so far as truth and propriety will allow. Never to think the worse of another on account of his differing from me in politi cal or religious opinions. Not to dispute with a man more than seventy years of age, nor with a woman, nor with an enthusiast. Not to affect to be witty, or to jest so as to wound the feelings, of another. To say as little as possible of mysclt, and those who are near me. To aim at cheerfulness without levity. Not to obtrude my advice unasked. Never to court the favor of the rich by flattering either their vanity or their vi ces. To speak with calmness and deliberation on all occasions; especially in circumstan ces whieh tend to irritate. Frequently to review my conduct and note my failings; On all occasions to have iu prospect the end of life and a future state. - - ■ IteY* “ Capital Punishment ,” as the boy ! said when the schoolmistress seated him : with the girls. ! “i ’niou is not always strength,” i as Sir Charles Napier observed, when he saw ths Far set nixing his rum and water. 10 0 111 Bill) 8® ©&2Qfn?§a if as sin fli ©jags?, 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. 2Urmtiscmcnto.
