And watch thy life-sands waste away,

Of kindness, ever breathed to bless,
And feel. I’ll be “alone.”

We were greatly charmed, says the Boston Post, by the
Li'Hawing exquisitely graceful lines, which, by the signature,
we suppose to be from a young brother of a celebrated A.
merican poet and professor at Harvard, whose laurels he
seems destined to share:
NO HEART ALONE.
*'I have learned," says the melancholy Pcstaloxzi." that
in this wide world no one heart is able or willing to belp
another.”
O, say not we through life must struggle,
Must toil and mourn alone;
That no one human heart can answer
The beatings ofour own.
The stars look down from the silent heavens
Into the quiet stream.
And see thewselre. in its dewy depths,
In fresher beauiv gleam.
The sky, with its pile or glowing hues.
Ever painteth the wave below
And the sea sends up its mist to form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow.

From ihe Democratic Review. i
STATUE TO JACKSON.
We must erect a glorious monument to the
glorious old man. It is due to him—duo to
ourst-Jves—due to our children, lo whom his
memory ai d his example will be among the no
blest legacies which our generation will have
to transmit to the next, and to all succeeding
ones. Tlic primed book is not enough—the
recorded archive—nor even tho practical re
sults of his life as stamped over tlte whole sur
face of the institutions oflns country—these, we
say, though in one sense his imperishable mon
uments, are not euough. A visible embodi
ment, symbol, representation, is proper is need
ed, to curry down to posterity—manifest and
actual, before the eyes that are to open long af
ter ours are closed—tho expression of his great-
t-ess. goodness anj glory, the attestation ofour
gratitude. No mausoleum—no pyram d—a
stulue ulone, is the proper monument waicli a
nation ouelit to erect to its great dead. For
Gen* ral Jackson we propose some worthy and
fitting national tribute of this kind—to be erect
ed by a national movement—at the national
centre or metropolis—with a free outpouring
of the national heart. A grand colossal Eques
trian Statue in bronze, at Washington, lobe
erected by n voluntaiy national subscription, is
the proper monument for Jackson.
And this is tho proper time to do it. Now
when tile, public heart is yet freshly bioecliug,
nnd throughout the length and breadth of the
country, lens of thousands of warm and true
Democrats st*nd ready, for nothing more anx
ious than lo be allowed to unite with their fel
low citizens in a suitable mode of rendering to
the memory of the great departed hero states
man, some signal tribute of their reverence and
their love.
No equestrian statue has yet been erected in
our country. In foreign countries it is not an
unfrequent mark of honor, to commemorate the
glory of great warriors or rulers. 1 hero is
probably no capital in Europe in which more
or less of them are not to be found. They are
usdally and justly deemed the finest ot'iiaments,
at once to grace and ennoble the centres of pub
lic squares. Washington and Jackson have as
yet b* en, perhaps, the only two of our historic
worthies who have so combined high military
with civil greatness and eminence, us to make
equestrioustatues uppioprime to their forms and
their glories. But to both of tlicm such forms
ought to be erected, and must be erected. In
regard to Washington, indeed, a resolution of
C'-ngress anihorizrbg it, lias to our disgrace,
ruinaiiK'd so long uiuxecut* d, that few now re
member us existence. But it will still be car
ried into effect, uor is the delay which lias run
into forgetfulness and neglect, in regard to him
fronf whom no rival fit me can ever rob the im
mortal tide of “first m war, first in peace, first in
die beans of his countrymen,” any reason for
postponing the redemption of die kindred duty
lo like memory of him whose name stands next
on the same page of glory with mat of the Fath
er of the Country. On the contrary, it
should serve as a warning to us not to suffer the
present auspicious season for-the purpose to pass
unimproved; nor leave to the colder sympathies
and faiutei' memories of a succeeding genera
tion, the performance of the duty which should
spring from the fresh fei dings and glowing grat
itude of ours. Let the measures be duly or
ganized forthe erection of the statue we pro
pose to Jackson, and we may depend upon it
•hat Washington’s wiil not be far behind; the
same year, and perhaps the same day, would
probably be made to witness the elevation of
botli of them to the pedestals from which they
will for ages look forth on the land they both on
ly lived to love, serve and save. Indeed, there
is strong reason to hope and believe that the
next Congress will carry on the long deferred
design of such a statue to Washington. A re
solution to that effect was reported by a com
mittee of the Senate, though the session ad- *
journed without acting upon it.
Marble is not the proper materia] for an
equcstiian statue designed for a. situation in
volving expo-uro to the atmosphere. It should
be bronze, imperishable bronze. It will be
somewhat more cosily, but it will be at the
same time safely insured to carry down to our
most distant p >sterity the form an I fe.itures of
the great old man. Seventy five or a hundred
thousand dollars will suffice for the purpose.'
though twice that amount could be well applied
in increasing the size and improving tho embel
lishment of the pedestals, «&c.,—nor can there
be any difficulty in raising by national subscrip
tion within tiie present year any amount that
may be required. As a specimen of the spirit
at once awakened by the suggestion, we may
mention that on stating the plan to ono of our
filly dollars as his contribution towards such a
subscription and we verily believe that he
would have carried the offering, prompted by
his overflowing heart, up to the half of his mod
erate fortune, hud it been necessary. And
there are hundreds of such men, thus feeling
and thus ready to act, scattered throughout the
country; thousands who would not willingly be
denied tho privilege of subscribing amounts
considerable, though their circumstances might
not permit them that of offering so large a sum
as that above stated; and tens upon tens of
thousands who would insist upon the right to
add to; such a national subscription, for a statue
to Jackson, at least some small saving from the
earnings of their daily toil. It needs but to be
started, witli a proper organization, and under
proper auspices to secure the confidence of the
leople in the safety and wise application of the
fund thus collected, to secure its prompt sub
scription, to any amount that may bo desired
A TIME TO DIE—AN EXTRACT.
HV TI1E0PUILUS t'ISK.
Look at that snio'i.h and bioodle'sx brotv of
one of earih's loveliest daughters, borne back
to her n ilal bowers from a lo.ig pi grim go,
iu search of tho lo.t treasure—lioa'tli. Like
a pale perishing blossom, s to is laid in all Iter
fading boiuty, tlow i iu ih» home rtf her guile- | 0 f\
less infancy, ami 1st tin) happy scene's to which
her memory fondly clung. TJic hopes that
had nesilcd in the hiarl of many a faithful
friend, hud one by one departed as they mark
ed the hectic spot upon the wan and pallid
cheek, tho thin attenuated fingers of the liny
hand, the faltering step, tho sunken eye—these
tol.l i:i solemn language that the time was rap-
id,y approaching when they m ist prepare the
i coffi i and tiio shroud.
A few short in >.*t is only Irul pns-ioJ, since
she stood before tho altar, tt laughing, blushing
briJe, her slight and fragile form surrounded
by troops of admiring f r ends. Her nan: i-*
changed, she returns 10 l> c r fnthct’o house but
to leave it fora luitd.af str-intjers. Ah J little i
did they think, on that day when tears ami
smiles were mingled—when they looked up *n
that bright fuco with its beaming j<>y, a oil you h-
fut pride, that its glow was lighted with the
fevered breath of the tieac'ierons disease—
consumption. L t.le did the fond father tbi .k
when ho left a tear of mi *g!ed joy and sorrow
upon her chuck at p irting, that she was so soon
to be borne bjek to tho home of her youth iu
comfortless somnv.
Death regaitft not a father’s love, nor a
husband’s grief—site is laid in her shrouded
of tier
; sleeit.
upon her
native valleys for the last time—the suti to her j
gilds the hill-tops no mote. The spirit, emnn
cipated from the heavy shackles of mortality,
lias joined the great congregation of the ran
somed ones in the paradise of love. Why weep
ye then as those who have no liopa that there
her darkness is changed to day—that a sun lias
risen no more to set—that tho fetters of earth
luve been exchanged fur robes of light arid
Ue—that the dark portal of death has been
unclosed which opens an endless day—that the

BE rO'LlTE.
Be pnh'ii r It is as easy to speak or look plea
santly, as 't is to use harsh words or wear a

years iu cutting timber in Demantra and who
has made extensive observations upon trees,
says that the moon’s influence on trees is very
great; so observable is this, that if a tree be
cut down at foil moon, it will immediately
split, as if torn asunder by great exiernal force.
Trees are also attacked much sooner by tho I
rot than if allowed to remain to another period j
of the moon’s age. Those intended, there
fore, to be applied to durable purposes are cut i
only during the firs' and Inst quarters of the !
muon ; for the sap rises to tlte top of the trees !
at full moon, and falls in proportion to the
moon’s decrease.

THE DISEASE OF LOVE. 1
The way it works in England.
It is a serious fact, says a late English wri
ter, that a greater number of young girls be
tween the age of 15 and IS, and of young men
between 16 and 21, fall victims to what they
call love, than to any particular class of disease,
and more particularly in England and Ireland
than any other country on earth. This is from
the from the force of impressions, peculiar to
those countries, and of comparatively recent
growth, the effect produced by a certain class
of romance writers give an obliquity to the
young mind which leads it to destruction.—
Scarcely has a young girl laid down her ‘Rea
dings made Easy,’ than she becomes a sub
scriber to some thrashy library, and the houis
which, in the country, or in a land where ed
ucation is unknown, they would employ in
jumping about iu the open air, are now con
sumed with intensity of thought upon the maud
lin misericsof some hapless heroine of romance,
the abortion of diseased brain. Her imilative-
iiess, as Spurzhciin would phrenologically ob-
serve, becomes developed, and she fixes on her
favorite heroine, whom she apes in every thing
—sighing for her sorrow, and moaniug to be
ns miserable. She fixes immediately on some
figure of a man, some Edwin or Ethelbcrt,
which she thinks will harmonize with the hor
rors of the picture, and she then enjoys her
tortures to her heart’s satisfaction. Languor,
inaction, late hours, late rising and incessant
sighing derange her digestion—paleness, loss
of appetite, and general debility follow—the
cause continues, the effects increase, and hec
tic fever puts an end to the romance. We
have known a young Irish lady who read her
self into this situation. She was, at the age of
thirteen, as lovely, healthy, and as fine a prom
ise of womanhood as that country ever produced.
When tho Leadenhall street troop of romances,
crossed her way an officer of a very different
sort of troop became her hero. She would
‘sit in her bower,” (ihe second floor window,)
and g»zc and gaze—and gaze upon bis steed,
his helmet, and its streaming black-haired crest
as lie passed to mount guard, until she sobbed
aloud in extaev of mcdancholy. She never
spoke of this “Knight,’’ nor did she even seek
to iiavo an acquaintance—lest, perhaps, a for
mal proposal, a good leg of mutton dinner,
and all.the realities of domestic happiness, might
dissipate the sweet romantic misery she so much
iiclmbted in. A year passed over—“she pin
ed in thought, and with a green and yellow
melancholy,” entered n convent, (for that is
the cfim ix of romance.) where she died in a
few months.
As yet we have but few of these Lydia Lan
guishes in this countiy, but as we are to an ex
tent imitative they will soon be along. Ere
twenty years have passed over our heads we
shall find lovelorn damsels moping away their
time like consumptive mermaids upon moss
banks, and sighing away their existence be
cause such lovers as offer have too much of the
utilitarian matter-of-fact of the age mixed up
in their composition—at least we are fearful
sueli will be the case.—N. O. Picayune.
Interesting from the Choctaw Nation.—
The editor of the Winston Mississippi Banner j
says that he had lately the phasuieof speak- !
ing to a very intelligent lady, who had spent :
several months nt one of tho m ssionary 'stn- j

sissippi. It appears that they are making rap'd
progress in education and in civil zation gene

lion and u national council elected by the
people, and their form ofGovernment is similar
to that of the United States. We qhddrstand
that it is tile desire of the Choctaw people to
come into the Union, and in order to effect that promote the happiness of a
object, will send an agent to Washington this 1 ...

A GOOD ANECDOTE.
We nevei heard the anecdote of the ohi
woman and her turktes until yrsterdny. ft is
good. An old lady resident of a neighboring
place-, kept a largo family of turkies, perlibps
sixty, is he like a groat many other people*
thought a gr< at deal of her turkies, consequently
valued them very highly. Opposite her door
was a “West India Goods Store.” The man
who kept it on day empted his cask ofeherries,
intending to replace with ne w. This old lady
be ng economical, thought it a great pity lo
have all these cherries wasted, and in order to
have them saved, sheweidd just drive ovet
her turkeys and let them eat them. In tho
course of the day the old lady thought she would
look after them and see they were in no mis
chief. She approached the yard and lo! in
o e corner laid her turkeys in one huge pile,
dead. “Yea they were ‘stone de id.’ What
was to be done ?
Surely the old matron could not l«-se all ihe
feathers! She must pick them ! Shu called
her daughter- nnd picked them intending to have
them buried in the morning. Morning came
and behold there were her turkeys stalking
about the’ yard leathcrless enough, (as may be ,
supposed.) crying otft ‘quit, quitfeeling no
doubt mortified that their drunkemfit had been
the means of losing their coats. Poor things, if
they had said ‘quit’ before they had begun they
would not have been in this ‘had fix.

Democracy.—The Sys'em of Democratic
Government is most beautiful in Ls nature and !
benevolent in its operation. It is a transcript !
oftlie government of God. It is supported by '
the prufounaest researches of philosophy, by
ihe sublimcst teachings of religion, ihe purest I
piety, the deepest virtue, 'lie firmest faith, the
brightest hope, the most ex tens've charity. It
gives to each the right of ail. Each man is es- |
timated a unit, the sum of which make up the |
whole. What is the right of one i.s the right M j
all. It confers no title; it bestows no immntii- j
t e s. It makes each account;*! !-■ for the whole,
and pledges the protection of the whole, for j
the good of each. The man chat is Lorn in in
significance and bred in a comer, may by a
continuance in well doing, rise to the deal re of .
glory iind honor. Merit is the only avenue to
success, and the sons and daughters of the rich, ,
by the neglect of virtue, by indulgence in vice, ,
i] sink m insignificance. Tho man in office
be removed without a rev Imion, while -
vacant seats are open to the emulation of ull.— |
I can conceive of no form of .government so i
perfectly com|>itib!e with the sublime princi
ples of Christianity, orsodirecily calculated to ;
mankind, as a de- -
mocracy. It u eels only to be understood in
theory, and adopted in practice, by a people
qualified to lest ifs qualities, to secure the ad-

to redeem, and at the onset of glorious enter-
prise. THe garner was full when the reaper

A new use for the Tt It graph.—A cor res.

••There is one use to which the Magnetic
Telegraph may he nut on our Atlantic coast,

telling ps of the approach of trie northeast
storms. It is well known that they commence
in Philadelphia often some hours sooner than
here, and larlher south—at Balumote, Wash-
ii gton, or Not folk—s ill earlier; and here be
fore they comnn ncc in Boston. Now, word
could be sent ahead of any hurricane or slorm

loss of many a richly laden vessel. For, in
