SPIRIT-YEARNINGS Ft Hi LOVE.
BY MRS H. MARION WARD.
Loro me. darling, love me, for my wild and way
ward heart,
Like Noah’s dove in search of rest, will hover
where thou art —
Will linger round thee, like a ‘pell, till by thy
hand caressed,
It folds its weary, care-worn wings, to nostlo on
thy breast.
Love me, darling, love me! When my soul was
sick with strife,
Thy soothing words have been the sun that warm
ed it into life ;
Thy breath called forth the passion-flowers, that
slumbered ’neath the ico
Os self-distrust, and now their balm makes earth
a Paradise.
Love me, darling, love me! Let thy dreams bo
all of me !
Let waking thoughts bo round my path, as mine
will cling to thee!
But if—oh, God! it cannot be—b ut if thou shouldst
grow cold
And weary of my jealous lovo, or think it over
bold—
Or if, perchance, some fairer form should charm
thy truant eye,
Thou ’lt find me woman—proud and calm —so
leave me—let me die.
I’d not reclaim a wavering heart whoso pulse has
once grown cold,
To write my name in princely halls, with dia
monds and with gold.
So lore me, only love me, for I have no world but
thee,
And darksome clouds aro in my sky—’tis woman’s
destiny;
But let them frown—l heed them not—no fear
can they impart,
If thou art near, with smiles to bend hope’s rain
bow round my heart.
I LOVE YOU.
I love you—’tis the simplest way
The thing I feel to tell;
Vet if I told it all the day,
You’d never guess how well:
You arc my comfort and my light—
My very life you seem ;
I think of you all day —all night
’Tis but of you I dream.
There’s pleasure in the lightest word
That you can speak to me ;
My soul is like the chord,
And vibrates still to thee.
I never rend the love-song yet,
So thrilling, fond or true,
But in my own heart 1 have met
Some kinder thought for you.
1 bless the shadows on your faco,
The light upon your hair—
I like for hours to sit and traco
The passing changes there ;
I love to hear your voice’s tono,
Although you should not say
A single word to dream upon,
When that has died away.
Oh ! you are kindly ns the beam
That warms where’er it plays,
And you are gentle as a dream
Os happy future days—
And you are strong to do the right,
And swift the wrong to flee—
And if you were not half so bright,
You’re all the world to me.

DON’T PRINT YOUR NAME IN
YOUR HAT.
BY DEMIJOHN.
There lived, not many years since, in a
neighboring city, a gentleman, who in the
service of his country and otherwise, had
made his name a household fixture. He
had, on several occasions, when before the
enemy signally distinguished himself, and
at the time referred to, held high rank.
He had many striking peculiarities; was
quick tempered, impulsive, brave as Julius
Caesar, and as ready as Hotspur to avenge
personal injuries. Our hero, among other
peculiarities, always insisted upon having
the lining of his hat of a light color, and
on the white morocco always printed his
name in large plain letters, with a pen.
This habit he acquired after having been
at several dinner parties and balls, Beau
Hickmanized by the possessors of shock
ing bad tiles.
It happened that our subject, on a cer
tain occasion, was spending a few days at
the capital, and having his hat rather used
up by a shower, dropped into a shop, in
the neigborhood of the White House, to
exchange it. A beaver was found that
fitted him to a hair, and a “ swap"’ was
made, to the satisfaction of both parties.
The purchaser, as usual, printed his name
upon the lining of his new hat, and left
the damaged one with the owner of the
shop, without as much as noticing the
number or position of the store.
A few nights after this occurrence, our
friend, who had been out until the short
hours, at a wine party, was suddenly
aroused, about three o’clock, A.M., by a
violent tumult at the door.
“ Who’s there?” shouted the old veteran,
still half asleep.
“Officers,” was the reply.
“ Officers ! what officers 1”
“ The police.”
“ The police! what do they want here?”
“We want the owner of this hat.”
“ What hat ?”
—“With ‘J. D. Hains’ in it.”
“You don’t mean to say you have got
my hat?” shouted the old gentleman, won
dering more and more what could be the
real cause of this disturbance.
“ Yes we do. ‘J. D. Hains’ is in the
hat, and ‘J. D. Hains’occupies this room.”
“That’s my name—but how came you
by my hat ?”
“ Open the door, and you shall know,”
replied the officer, at the same time giving
it a whack with his mace.
“Oh, it’s of no use,” groaned the sleepy
occupant of 49; “ those infernal dogs
have just got up from the table, and I must
lose my Teneriffe and sleep into the bar
gain”—and so saying he got up and open
ed the door.
“We want you to go with us,” said a
man in a huge drab coat, that supported
three several capes of large dimensions.
“With you.' —for what?” gasped the!
old gentleman, unable to collect his mud
dled thoughts at this strange apparition.
“To the police station,” responded the
watchman, with imperturbable gravity.
“ Police !—am I awake ?” screamed the
victim.
“Don’t know, sir,” said the watchman,
without changing a muscle—“ but if you
ain’t you soon will be.”
The old gentleman expostulated, threat
ened, told them who he really was —but it
all would not do.
“What is the charge 1” demanded he.
“ Theft.”
“ Theft —of what ?”
“ A gold watch, pair of ear rings, breast
pin, and seven silver spoons,” replied the
policeman.
This was a little too much. The old
gentleman raved and swoie, and called
upon the porter to say that he was incapa
ble of such an act; but the porter was a
raw hand, and knew nothing about him.
“Call Mr. C the landlord,”
demanded Hains.
“ Can’t wait for any such foolishness,”
said the officer. “Your name is here, in
this hat, and here, too, (looking into the
new beaver,) is one exactly like it.”
“ I tell you this is some mistake!”
groaned the old gentleman, “ I have only
one hat in Washington.”
Still the officer was inexorable, and the
victim was obliged to go down to the sta
tion house, where a large party—includ
ing several females—were assembled. The
committing magistrate took the chair, and
the evidence was heard. The prosecutrix
testified that about one o’clock that night
the owner of the hat in question had called
at her house, and while she was entertain
ing others, made off with the valuables
above named. He was seen departing
from the back door, and on being closely
pursued dropped the hat.
“What do you say to that?” asked the
magistrate.
“ 1 say that I never saw that female be
fore, and was never in her house. 1 can
prove that I was at supper with the
minister until after two o’clock.”
A loud “ha ! ha!” followed, and failing
to account for the hat, the old gentleman
was locked up for the night. Before the
key was turned upon him his pocket was
searched, and it is unnecessary to say that
none of the missing articles were found
upon him.
I need not say how the victim roared t
railed and threatened. He paced the floor
the entire night, and when brought out for
a further hearing next morning, was suffi
ciently sober to account for the old hat-
Some friends were sent for, and the magis
trate, on learning the character of his pri
soner, immediately released him on his
own recognizance.
It was with no little difficulty that the
shop of the hatter was found. His name
was not on the tip, and therefore every
other store was, of course, visited first. At
length it was found, however, and the lat
ter deposed that a few days after Mr.
Hains purchased the new hat, he had sold
the old one to a stranger, for the sum of
one dollar.
This cleared up the mystery of the hat
and also the prisoner, who immediately tore
the lining from his new tile, and left the
station house, swearing that he would nev
er mark his name upon another article of
personal property in his life.
READY WIT.
The Boston Traveller gives an instance
of ready wit, which occurred in Boston,
that is worthy of record. It is as follows:
“ A couple of fresh emigrants from the
land of sweet Erin were travelling to Cam
bridge, and finding, as they approached the
bridge, that the twain had but one cent be
tween them, they set themselves to work to
contrive how they should pass the toll-gate
with only 50 per cent, of the requisite
funds. At length it was resolved that they
should part company—one lingering be
hind while the other went forward to con
fer with Mr. Brown, the gate-keeper, and
see what could be done wiih him in the
way of bargain or compromise. Paddy,
on arriving at the gate, with his politest
bow, asked Mr. Brown at what price he
could be allowed to pass over the bridge.
On being told that one cent, and no less,
was the rate for each foot passenger, as
sanctioned by the law of the Common
wealth, he, after a little hesitation, inquired
what amount of baggage passengers were
allowed to take with them.
He was informed that he might take any
inwin&w ©msini a
thing he could carry, except a wheelbar
row or a hand-cart; and without further
parley, he turned and left Mr. Brown to
deal with numerous other passers, who
were accustomed to pay the stated tax upon
travellers without asking any questions,
though not probably without a secret wish
that the time had come in which the bridge
is to be free. In a few minutes Paddy re
appeared, with his fellow-traveller, mount
ed upon his shoulders in the regular ‘boost
back’ style. He gravely deposited the le
gal toll for a single passenger, and walked
on to deposit his baggage upon terra firma,
at the other end of the bridge, which, being
in Middlesex, is now free soil. The spec
tators of this interesting scene were quite
unanimous in the opinion that the travel
lers had ‘come the Paddy’ over the toll-gath
erer, while that worthy dignitary himself
did not hesitate to admit that he was ‘done
Brown.’ ”
Mrs Partington, —the Boston Post’s fa
mous and amusing “perverter” of facts and
language, has gone abroad, it seems. The
following is the latest from her:
“ A correspondent writes us that he en
countered Mrs. Partington on the Rhine,
who informed him that she had been up to
learn the price of putty from the Swissgla
ziers, and was then on her way to find out
what made the Dutch madder, hoping it
wouldn’t come to extremities. She had
been disappointed while in Rome, at not
getting a sight of any of the pope’s bulls,
hide nor horns.”
The way they do it. —The milk at a
very fashionable house in the upper part of
New York, which was usually very good,
was found to be very poor one morning
last week, looking blue, and having a wa
terish cast. Next morning the milkman
was arraigned and asked what was the
matter ? His reply to the servant was :
“ I beg your pardon, I made a mistake. 1
helped you out of the Boarding House and
Boarding School can. I will be more care
ful in future. It shall never be done
again.”
SiSr” “ Madam, you said your son was
a physician—has he much practice 1 ”
“ Why, yes sir—he has a practice—of smo*
king cigars.”

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.
The following communication was hand
ed to us by the author, Rufus Porter, Esq.
who is well known to us as the former ed
itor of the Scientific American, and as a
man well versed in a knowledge of the arts
and inventions. He is a man of superior
intelligence and of great honesty of char
acter, and we do not hesitate to say, that
any fact stated upon his own knowledge
may be relied upon implicitly. We do not
know whether all the great results which
he anticipates from the invention which he
describes, can be realiz.ed ; but he has sta
ted to us some remarkable facts, the results
of his own experiments, which would seem
to justify the anticipations in which he in
dulges. If the invention shall turn out to
be what the inventors now promise them
selves it will be, it is certainly a most won
derful discovery and will create anew era
in the arts and in civilization :
Messrs. Editors : I am authorized to
announce the discovery and practical test
of the most important scientific invention
ever yet produced or brought to light since
the world has been inhabited by man ; an
invention which must eventually, and al
most immediately, produce an immense rev
olution in the commercial intercourse and
business in general throughout the world ;
and, although it will break down and ruin
many of the most important branches of
business and avenues of wealth, with hun
dreds of wealthy corporations and business
establishments, yet it will build up thou
sands of others, and contribute hundredsof
millions to the benefit of mankind, espec
ially to the American community.
The first and main feature, and founda
tion of this invention, and which at once
opens a field for hundreds of other inven
tions, is the discovery by Henry M. Paine,
Esq. of a ready and almost expenseless mode
of decomposing water and reducing it to
the gaseous state. By the simple opera
tion of a very small machine, without gal
vanic batteries, or the consumption of me
tals or acids, and only the application of
less than one three-hundredth (1-300) part
of one horse power, Mr. Paine produces 200
cubic feet of hydrogen gas, and 100 feet of
oxygen gas per hour. This quantity of
these gases, (the actual cost of which is
less than one cent) will furnish as much
heat by combustion as 2,000 feet of the or
dinary coal gas, and sufficient to supply
light equal to three hundred common lamps
forten hours ; or to warm an ordinarydwel
ling house twelve hours; including the re
quisite heat for the kitchen ; or to supply
the requisite heat for one horse power of
steam. This invention has been tested by
six months’ operation, applied to the light
ing of houses, and recently the applicabil
ity of these gases to the warming of houses
has also been tested with perfectly satis
factory results. A steam engine furnace
and a parlor stove, both adapted to the burn
ing of these gases, have been invented, and
measures taken for securing patents there
for.
Mr. Paine has one of his machines, new
and elegant, now in full operation and pub
licly exhibited, within twenty days : The
only actual expense of warming houses by
this apparatus is that of winding up a
weight (like the winding up of a clock)
once a day ; and the heat produced may be
as easily graduated and regulated as the
flame of a common gas-burner. No smoke
whateveris produced,buta very small quan-
tity of steam sufficient to supply the requi
site moisture to the atmosphere. In its ap
plication to the production of steam pow
er, it will reduce the expense thereof tothe
mere wear of the machinery, and will im
mediately produce an immense demand for
steam engines, and induce the establish
ment of thousands of manufacturing mills,
reduce the expense of travelling and in
crease the demand for agricultural produce,
while it ruins the coal and gas business,
and such manufacturing establishments as
depend on monopoly and high prices. This
invention moreover, removes completely
the only obstacles which have hitherto ex
isted to aerial navigation —the difficulty of
procuring hydrogen gas, and carrying a
supply of fuel: and it may now beconsid
ered a matter of tolerable certainty that men
will be seen swiftly and safely soaring in
various directions before the first of May
next. These facts, being of immense im
portance, should not be longer withheld ;
and I therefore would avail mvself of your
widely circulating journal to present them
to the public.
Yoirs, respectfully,
R. PORTER.

GEOLOGY.
Geology treats of the structure and for
mation of the Earth.
The science of Geology may be said to
have arisen within the last twenty years ;
for previously to that there was very little
accurate knowledge respecting the struc
ture of the earth. So much, however, has
been developed within the last few years
that it has now become one of the most ex
act sciences.
When the truths of Geology were first
made known, the science was opposed by
many, because it seemed to contradict the
facts narrated in Scripture. Later discov
eries, however, confirmed in all particulars
the Scriptural account of the creation and
deluge ; and Geology is now pointed to as
one of the strongest of the many evidences
of the inspired character of the Bible.
The animal and vegetable remains which
are found in different strata, or layers, of
the earth’s surface, give us a key to the
history of the past ages. Cuvier has ren
dered his name illustrious by his research
es in this department of science. From his
discoveries we learn that on digging to cer
tain depths, remains are found, both ani
mal and vegetable, of many species which
are now extinct. From the fact that ma
rine and land remains alternate at regular
intervals, we conclude that the sea has re
peatedly over-flowed the land, which has,
after some time, again become dry. The
lowest rocks, for instance were once the
seat of life ; above these have been discov
ered remains of various marine creatures.
In the next stratum we have fossils of her
bivorous animals of gigantic size. A lay
er of shells proves that an inundation car
ried these off: and we have evidence ot the
reappearance of dry land in the fossils of
elephants, rhinoceroes, &c. Next comes
a loose soil mingled with evidences of a
third overflow of the sea; and above this
is the surface which belongs to the present
inhabitants.
A NEW FOREIGN GUN AND A
HOME GUN.
Foreign papers state that a Mr. Vanden
burg, a Flemish gentleman, has invented a
new gun which can make six and eight
charges pel minute, carrying the distance
of 2000 feet, the ball weighs about one
ounce and a quarter, and the powder is one
twelfth the weight of the ball. An ordina
ry gun requires three times more powder,
the ball does not weigh half an ounce. The
new gun is loaded from the breech. The
shape of the ball is round. On the 24th
ult, at Utica, N. Y. the new rifle of Mr.
Milo M. Cass, formerly noticed by us, dis
charged 24 balls in two minutes and 30 sec
onds ; then loading with 26 catridges in 4
minutes, and discharged twenty-four in 2
minutes and 30 seconds, —thus loading once
and firing 48 shots in 9 minutes. The
shooting was very accurate, considering the
rapidity, and the performance of the gun
gave great satisfaction to those present.
The barrel of the gun was so little heated
after the first 24 discharges, that it was im
mediately loaded and again fired, the same
number of times. Considering that this is
a rifle, it far beats the foreign gun. — Scien

FEMALE AFFECTION.
Capt Ross was an officer in the English
army during the American Revolutionary
war. He was much attached to a young
lad)’, whose engagement to him her parents
refused to ratify. When military duty com
pelled him to cross the Atlantic, his lady
love, without apprising him of her inten
tions, resolved to follow him. For this pur
pose, she disguised herself in man’s clothes,
and took passage for America. She ar
rived immediately after a battle had been
fought between the Indians and the detach
ment to which Capt. Ross belonged. A
mong the dead bodies, she quickly recog
nised the object of her search. He was
wounded and senseless; but she discover
ed a slight pulsation of the heart. She ap
plied her lips to the wound, from which she
sucked the flowing blood until it was
staunched. This remedy restored him to
life. She had sufficient presence of mind
to restrain her impetuous joy, well know
ing how fatal sudden emotion might prove
to one in his weak and languid condition.
During forty days she watched over him
with the most unremitting attention, com
pletely disguised by her dress, and the ar
tificial coloring of her complexion. Du
ring his illness, the young officer talked
continually of the object of his affections,
and repeatedly expressed his fears that he
should not live to be united to her.
When his health was sufficiently res
tored, the lady made herself known ; and
if she was tenderly beloved before she made
sacrifices, it will readily be believed that
she was idolized now.
They departed together for Philadelphia,
where they were immediately married. But
alas! the perfect happiness they enjoyed
was not to be of long duration. A lan
guor, which resisted all medical art, attack
ed the system of Mrs. Ross, and threaten
ed to terminate her life. It was soon dis
covered that her lover had been wounded
by a poison arrow, and the venom perva
ded all her blood. Her husband watched
over her with the most tender solicitude;
and as he saw one remedy after another
fail to restore the health that had been so
affectionately sacrificed for him, his hopes
gradually settled into despair, and he died
broken-hearted in the spring of 1778. The
widow’s grief was softened by the certain
ty of sooon following him she had loved
so fondly. She summoned sufficient forti
tude to cross the Atlantic again, in orderto
implore the forgiveness of her parents.
With them she languished a little while,
and died. Her spirit rejoined her husband
in July, 1779, when she was twenty-five
years old. A monument is erected to her
memory in Hammersmith church, recording
these interesting events.
Two instances of a similar kind are re
corded in history, in which the victims were
perfectly aware that they sacrificed their
own lives to save their husbands :
Queen Eleanor, wife of Edward the First,
being informed that the King was wounded
with a poisoned arrow, drew forth the ven
om with her lips, and died for him. Cha
ring Cross, in London, takes its name from
a cross w hich Edward erected to his mem
ory. Some antiquarians say it was so cal
led from the village of Charing, in which
the monument was built; others deny the
existence of any such village, and contend
that it derived its name from being the rest
ing-place of chere Reyne , or the dear queen.
Sybella, wife of Robert of Normandy,
showed the same courageous attachment to
her husband. The prince being wounded
in this shocking manner, was informed that
recovery was impossible, unless the poison
was sucked out. The amiable son of the
Conqueror resolved to die, rather than al
low any one to make the dangerous exper
iment. But while he slept, Sybella, his
dutchess, gently applied her lips to the
wound; and before he awoke, the deadly
venom had passed into her veins. She did
not long survive this proof of her love. —
[Eliza Cook's Journal.
The Advantages of a Wife. —They
are extremely silly persons who rail at mar
ried life, and endeavor to he witty at the ex
pense of married people. The fact is, that
many of these calumniators are not able to
obtain wives. A man’s wife is his best
lawyer, his best counsel, his best judge, his
best advise and what is important, also, the
cheapest and most reasonable.
The Rose. —The Greeks have the fol
lowing tradition :
“ The God of Love made a present to
Harpocrates, the God of Silence, of a beau
tiful rose, the first that had been known,
to engage him not to discover any of the
secrets of his mother, and hence it has be
come a custom to have a rose placed in
their roomsof mirth and entertainment, that
under the assurance thereof they might lay
aside all restraint and speak of what they
please. Thus did the rose become a sym
bol of silence ; so that sub rosa, under the
rose, denotes as much as to be out of dan
ger of any disclosure.
Pythagoras, a Mesmerizer. —lt is re
lated of Pythagoras that he could give re
lief from any pain or disease ; his method
consisted in passing the hands slowly over
the body, beginning with the head, retain
ing them for some time at a little distance
from the place of disease. In common with
the philosophers of his day, he veiled the
real means of relief under the form of an
incantation; for, while fascinating, he kept
continually uttering magical words. His
power over the lower animals must also
have been consideiable ; he is said to have
tamed a furious bear, prevented an ox from
eating beans, and stopped an eagle in its
flight.

PROSPECTUS
OF —
RXCBIARnS’
WEEKLY GAZETTE.
BEING anew and much enlarged series of the
“Southern Literary Gazette,”—the only
weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted
to Literature and the Arts in general—and de
signed for the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs leave to announce that,
on Saturday, the sth of May, he 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 syope of its
observation, and to otherwise increase its attrac
tions.
Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore, to
Literature, the Arts, and Sciences,
it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it,
in every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
“ as chcan as the cheapest, and as good as the
best!” Utterly discarding the notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with the 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. Its field will be
the world, and it will contain, in its anq-le folds
Every Species of Popular Information ,
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, alio the is, will
bo frequently
Illustrated with Wood Cuts!
Every number will contain careful and cpious
summaries of the latest
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC A h WS!
in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiasti
cal Affairs. At the same time, there shall be
nothing in its columns that can be considered ei
ther Partizan or Sectarian.
The following distinguished writers will con
tribute to the Journal:
besides many others, whoso names are highly
esteemed in the “ World of Letters.”
TERMS:
Single copies, a-year, $2 00, strictly in advance
CLUBS:
Os three supplied for $5 00
Ot five for ----------- 800
Os ten for ----------- 15 00
Os fifteen for ---------- 20 00
Os twenty for ----- 25 00
