POETRY.
I WONDER WHY?
. He press’d my hand. I can’t tell why—
I’m sure I wonder why he did it;
And then I heard—O suclt a sigh!
As quite alarmed me for a minute.
I wonder why he pressed my hand—
I wonder why he sighed so sadly—
I’m sure if I could understand
The cause, I would remove it gladly.
lie told me ho had lost his heart,
Aud whispered something about • hope,’
I wonder why it did depart—
Or why hearts everdo elope—
I'm sure if I his heart it ad been,
I never would have left his side,
But stayed a happy joyous thing,
Aud loved the place till 1 had died.
I’LL TELL YOU WHY.
BY ONE WHO KNOWS.
1*11 tell you wliy he press’d your hand,
i.. |*il I**llyi>u »»kj> !*• m m uaJKi ..
That you the cause may understand,
And, as you say, remove it gladly.
There is withio the human breast
That seldom sleeps, a tender passion,
Love is its name and when express’d,
(Though now ’tis somewhat out of fashion )
But seldom fails to paint the cheek
Of beauty with a crimson color;
For Lore right eloquent will speak.
Do what you will the flame to smother.
That your bright smiles and sparkling eye.
Like Sol, have warm'd this tender feeling,
Is plaiu from that impassioned sigh.
That blush that flies true love's concealing.

A TALE IN THE MAGAZINE STYLE,
BY JOE MILLER.
CHAPTER L—The Introduction.
* Coming events cast their shadows before.”
“ Dear me, Arabella ! did you hear that Au
gustus Snooks was introduced fo Julia Snig
gers. last evening, at Mrs. Fitz Faddle’s par
ty V’
“La me, you don’t say sj?”
“Emily Pumpkin was idling me; she said
old Smashpipes, who you know ia as blind as
a bat, inieiided to introduce young Julius
Numbscult and mistook Augustus fur Julius
ant] introduced him to the handsome Julia, as
his friend NumbscuU.”
‘‘Happy to have the pleasure of your ac
quaintance Miss,” s.iid Augustus, “ my friend
Smashpiprs has made a mistake, howover, my
name is Snooks.”
U I,„u.l t inl-nr will A inolio Siirtob'” 0 fi'ink
wh* n she hears il V’
“ 1 guess she won’t like it—very singular in
troduction wasn't it?”
“ Very.”
CHAPTER II.— The Courtship.
' Ala*, the course of true love never did run smooth."
The roseate tint of the setting sun was gild-
insr the scarlet hair of the beauteous Julia Snig
gers, with its Inst faint beam, and the head of
beauty shone like a show bottle in a pharmacu-
tist’s window, with a light behind it. Upon
the floor at her feet, kneeled the young Au
gustus ; madness was in his heart, and fury iu
liis eyes. “May I hope, dearest V' enquired
he in the agony of his passion. The beaute
ous cheek of the lovely Julia grew white as her
pocket handkerchief, as she tried to hide the
intensity of her feeling—V Nay, Augustus,
spare u virgin's young affection,” she faintly
murmured, “some other time.” “Alas, is it
said Augustus, “I never ha J a dear gaz
elle—but no! Moore is an enihusi.ist,” said
Snooks, calmly rising and resolutely buttoning
up his coat—“Julia let us walk and have some
Ice Cream.”
CHAPTER III.— The Declaration.
By those bright eyes, like the roe, tny love! my life I
love thee!"
“Shall it be Vanillin or Lemon 1”
“Vanillin if you please,” geuily answered
the fascinaiinggitl.
Bring two vanillins,” t>oid Augustus to the
waiter.
The ices were brought, and the spoons
were soon put into requisition to convey the
cold comfort to their mouths.”
Cold, cold, is my lot,” soliloquized Augus
tus ; “I feed on the ice, and relish the shivery
luxury. Alas! it was not so ere I knew tlie
idol of my aff< ctions!” Then starting up, hys
terically, he enquired, with intensity, “Julia
will you bo mine V’
CHAPTER IV.— The Acceptance.
“ She is thine—the word is spoken."
Started by the terrible demoi stration of pas
sion, the f«ir Julia swooned. “Alas!” said
Augustus, “she is dead! Ho! burnt feathers
and sal volatile!” shouted lie delirously ; “to
the rescue! to the rescue!” But the call was
unnecessary, slowly the beauteous Julia open
ed her bright humid eyes and smiled ; “ Oh,
CHAPTER VII.—The Perjury.
*' Take them; I impl&e thee, take ihenj!”
B’ithely the younj wifb rose on the morrow,
to' breakfast, which she deemed would he hap
py*—Augustus came, in bis right hand he held
the string of fish; but were they cal fish l—-
Stand aghast, ye heavens, when you hear it;
they were perch ! Julia caught one glance—
her dt-licato system could hot stand the shock."
‘•Perch 1” she wildly cried and sank lifeless to
the ground.
CHAPTER Ylll—The Denouement.
** Man’s inhumanity to woman, makes countless thousand*
mourn."
Sadly they bore her to her long home ; flow
ers were strewed over her grave and the face
of all her acquaintances wore a lugubrious
aspect. But there was one whom that sad
sight struck down io the earth—il was the per-
juied Augustus. Wildly he rushed forth, and
sought cons-dbtion in the bowl—-it was not
there—and goaded to frenzy, one day he walk
ed calmLy m the Nayjt_Yard. and enlisted iit
the marines.—He did’nt do any thing else.

YANKEE DOODLE IN AUSTRIA.
We clip the following from a letter in tho
New York Herald, dati-d Vienna, Feb. 5,1846.
“Vieux Temps has been'peiformiug for some
time in the Imperial Opera House, and his
popularity in a city where music of every kind
is so closely criticised, must be highly flattering
to him. He is decidedly a great favorite, and
is always warmly received. A lew evenings
ago I was present at one of his performances,
and witnessed an occurrence well calculated to
excite the enthusiasm of an American heart.—
Vieux Temps had finished a series of his pie
ces with tlie Carnival of Venice—he was called
out again, when he struck up Yankee Doodle
with variations. Thio set the whole audience
into a perfect uproar. * Americaner V cried
out one of the Austrians; ‘Bravo!’ a hundred
others; and you may well imagine that we
Americans, three or four in number, found it
rather difficult to sit still during this enthusiastic
expression of feeling for our beloved country.
At the close of the piece the applause was un
bounded. Vieux Temps was called out three
times before the curtain fell, aud twice after
ward ; tlie audience each lime receiving him'
standing, and greeting hint with sounds of ap
plause, while nearly all the ladies in the house
were clapping their hands to thj2 best of their
abilities. There is one box in tins house ktiovVn
as the English box. I cast tny eyes towards it,*
and found its occupiers silent observers of die
scene, probably reflecting on Bunker Hill/
Lexington, &c.”
Augustus, how you frightened me!
you will be able to come it!”
I
A suit at law has been commenced within a
short time in New York, which has brought to'
light tfie conduct ef a fiend, which can find no
parallel, we should hope, in the civilized world,
Tho F.Tprsn n]-)4* I f“» r»nri ion lore nc fXIlmy* -
(‘The individual to whom we nave alluded
is a native of Spain or Cuba. He married a
young girl a few years ago al Havana, by
whom ha had a daughter. He then seduced
the mother of his wife, was arrested for tlie
crime, tried, and condemned to transportation.'
The vessel oil board of which he was placed,’
with other convicts, was wrecked in a storm on
our const, by which he escaped aud made his
way to New York'. After being some time
here he sent to Havana for his wife and child,
who in due time arrived, being accompanied
by his wife’s sister. Subsequently he seduced
the sister, who had offspring by him—and now
comes the dreadful point of our story. When
his own child had arrived at the age of 14 or
15 years, she also became the object of his
hellish lust, and proved enciente by him. The
authorities hearing of the matter, began to stir
in tho business, when he thought it best to fly,'
which hedid, carrying off his own daughter nn
a mistress, and leaving his wife here, with one
or two o;her children.
As to business, lie had l>eeu engaged for
some years as agent to a house at Havana.
Previous to leaving New York he placed his
goods iu the hands of a third party. The
house at Havana hearing of the transaction,'
sent a power cf attorney to a gentleman here,
to obtain and take charge ol the goods which
hud been in the individual’s hands. This gen
tleman applied to the third party wild had them
in possession, but who refused to give them up,'
claiming to own them. The gentleman then
commenced proceedings ot linv, but in doing
so gave the party an opportunity to bring a
counter suit against b’m, which he did, laying
the damages at S20,000, and the gentleman
was ordered to be Held to bail in the sum of
8(5,000. This, we believe, he hns not been able
to obtain, and may have to go to prison, and
his little business and family be broken up,'
truly verifying tbe old udge, ‘one mar. couimit-
leth sin and thousands fiel the evil effects there-
of.”
LOVE OF COUNTRY.
Wherever, O man, God’s first sun beamed
upon thee—where the stars of heaven first shone
above thee—where his lightnings first declared
his omnipotence, and the storm-wind shook
thy soul wi'li pious awe—there are thy affec
tions—there is thy country.
Where the first human eye bent- lovingly
over thy cradle—where thy mother first bore
;.V* I thee joyfully on her bosom—where thy father
tUu,fc ! engraved the words of wisdom on thy heart—
there ore thy affections—there is thy country.
And though il be among bare rocks and des.
: er i islands, and though poverty and care dwelt
I there with thee, thou mayest love that land for
! ever : for thou art man and thou canst not for-
1 get it, but it must abide in thine inmost heart.

Months rolled on, and Augustus and Julia
were happy—economy ur.d'neatness presided
over all their domestic arrangements.

usual meal, ‘J think I should like soiiie catfish

Augustus—“hv yonder moon I swear that you
