CON AMORE.
BY BARRY CORNWALL.
Love was ever yet a martyr;
Bred in sorrow, born in pain ;
Tossed about on troubled waters;
By a scornful arrow slain ;
Wherefore, then, oh fairest lady.
Bid me s"ing of Love again T
I was yonng, and I was dreaming,
When a burning vision came.
Lighted up mine eyes with passion,
Touched my cheeks with crimson shame;
Smote my heart that shrank and trembled,
TtU it burst abroad in llame.
Long the Viaionseemcd to linger.
Then without a smile or sound,
Passed beyond my bumble region.
Like the sun when seaward bound.
Glorious,—but content with having
Cast a glory on the ground.
Nnw I dwell within the shadows.
And the Dream that shone ef yore
Lighted up another passion.
Lingereth onnnotlier shore ,
Leaving Love, that was the martyr,
Master still, for evermore!
THE SURPRISE.
BY GUARDSMAN, AN OFFICER OF THE U. S. A.
On the afternoon of a fine tiny in November,
’41,1 halted my command on the right bunk of
ihe Sawaunee River, u,ion one of those bold
and picturesque bluffs so frequently met with
in the region of country designated on the mili
tary chert of East Florida. Struck with the
magnificent coup d'wil I dismounted, and,
throwing the reins of my charger over my arms
leisurely approached the water-side. The
sun, slowly sinking in the western hoiizon,
shed a brilliant flood of parting light over the
wild and picturesque scene around. The no
ble river lay embosomed far below; its clear,,
deep, and rapid current coursing swiftly on-
wurd, flanked by interminable forests, until lost
most profound sleep. Alas, Lieutenant, for the
moment that again found me in possession of
my waking senses. To say ihtifiit w;ia the hit*
terest of my eventful life, would faintly convey
the agony 1 endured. That 1 had never sui-
vived it has ever been the ui,dying wish of my
heart since. But to continue. I know not
how long I slept—I only know it was profound.
I was awakened by a bud growl from the dog
as lie bounded toward* me. The girl at the
firal alarm sprang to her ft-et^and perceiving
the form of a savage, who had surprised us,
towering above me, the fata! weapon abendy
uplifted, with one wild scream, of horror, and
with one only thought of my peril, s-be heedless
ly threw her frail form between us, ai d recei\t-.
ed thffi death blow that was (dined at ray heart.
I bounded to my feet, but it was the w !1 of
heaven that I should be late. The mangled
form ofthe devoted victim Nank hen vi!y upon
me, the warm blood flowing fast from the gha-'t-
ly wound. With a mind all but fwnRtcd with
despair, I clasped her lying form and gazed
wildly upon those palsied features. The last
spark of life had not fled. Looking fondly up
at me, she uttered these farewell words.—
‘Grieve not, for I am happy ! 1 lived only for
you; why should I not die to save you.” Then
Calmly laying her head upon my bosom,, with a
slight struggle her gentle spirit returned to God,
who gave it! Silently wrapping her in the blood
stained blankets, with a wounded and broken
spirif, I laid her beneath the green turf where
she had so nobly sacrificed her life, und pur
sued my journey alone.”
Here the old man ceased speaking, and wi
ping the heavy drops of cold perspiration from
his grief-bound brow, slowly rose and left me
for the night.—Spirit of the Times.

and solemn pines, which, side by' side, lined j j ts largest cuts is labelled “The only Competent
either bank—stern guardians of the undisturb- ~ - - ~
ed majesty of the noble river—gave a stamp of
wildness to the scene which perfectly spell
bound me, and I know not Low long I might
have lingered on the spot had not an officer of
the guard broken in upon my trance by report
ing order*.
Returning to the encampment, a short dis
tance from the edge of the bank, I found my
good fiit?nd and faithful guide, Ben W., active
ly employed in preparing a feast of another
and more substantial kina than the one I had
just enjoyed. The meal over, we lighted our
pipes, and throw ing ourselves on the soldier’s
best couch, the green sod of mother earth, with
the blue vault of heaven for u canopy, we gave
ourselves up to the philosophy of a little cogi
tation.
After the Inpse of half an hour or more, in
which my mind run riot o’er pleasures past iu
camp and court, becoming wearied with tbe
silent recreation, 1 gladly turned to engage my
companion in a quiet little chat. Imugine my
surprise at perceiving his usually calm and
placid countenance suffused with a shade ot
the deepest melancholy. So claiming a change
iu the physiognomy of the old stoic awakened
in me a keen curiosity to learn the cause; ac
corditigly moving over to him, I geutly tapped
litm on tho sliotikier.
•Why, Ben, by thu powers of melancholy
but the blue devils have for once triumphed
over your bousted philosophy. Why so sad
and gloomy? Zounds! but I should like to
know what could thus disiurb the brow nf as
sage an individual aud matchless swordsman as
yourself. Surely no coy maiden could have
resisted those heroic charms!—Eh. old boy >
Come, out with it!—make me your confessor,
and I’ll be sworn to give thee absolution to the
brim!’
Ben turned slowly towards me, the cloud
still on hi* brow, showing me how little he rel
ished my words,
‘True, Lieutenant,’ he replied, *1 have been
playing truant on a sad journey. If you desire,
I will give you the brief history of her who
was the burden of my thoughts, and who stood
towards me iu no other relation than a true
hearted wife
Asking the old hunter’s pardon for the pain
1 had innocently given, and assuring him of my
willingness to listen to his tale, I seated myself
beside hirp> and lie reluted &9 follows:
“During a period of the war I was in the
service of the Army under Brigadier General
T. ub foot messenger; it being at that time haz
ardous in the extreme for post riders to pass
from one point to another, I frequently made
journeys to the most distant posts, and though
often obliged to pass near the enemy, had the
good fortune never to meet with either accident
or delay; for which I received the old General’s
honest thanks and liberal pay. During one of
my resting spe Is at Head Quarters, 1 formed
the acquaintance of n young Indian girl, the
daughter of one of the prisoners of war. We
soon became mutually interested ir. each other,
and after some fruitless efforts to obtain her
consent of her parents, 1 determined on my
own responsibility to moke her my wife. The
ceremony was short. We joined hands, and
promising to be faithful to the last, considered
ourselves wedded to all intents and purposes.
Shortly after this, I was ordered to hold myself
in readiness to proceed with important despatch
es to the Commandant of au interior and dis
tant post—and in a moment of doubt how t^
dispose of my youthful wife during my ’bscnce,
who, since our union, had little of kindness to
expect from her incensed parents, 1 had the
ui p irdonuble weakness to yield to hei repeat
ed entreaties to become her companion. The
dangers that would bes't my path at almost
every step were well known, and caused me
no small alarm on her beiialf, and nn unwilling
ness at first to give ear to her entreati's; but,
as 1 before suid, between doubt, fear and my
own heart’s desire, I Seized upon the pal'ry
pretent of a want of a protector, and gave my
consent. Oh God, that 1 had been wiser!
Having prepared our modest provision, a
pouch of parched corn ami a few hard biscuit,
I repaired to the General’s quarters,—receiv
ed my despatches,—and we set out the follow-
Person,” and represents Punch making a low
bow to the Queen and Prince Alben, to which
“Gracious Majesty!” replies, “Well Mr. Punch,
after all you are the only ‘Competent Person,’
and ifyou think the Statue ought to come down,
why down it shall come! The Statue appears
in the back ground ofthe cut. Tom Thumb’*
account of his visil to the Palace, though not so
good as it might have been, has some smart
touches. The General closes the account of
his visit, with his invitation to the Queen to
come to the States i”
“Gracious Majesty, if you’d like to eat the
real Homony Cake in airnest, I allot that you
had better eat it at Uncle Sam’s fire-side.-^
You’ve a nice little steamer, and in the summer
go paddin’ about the sea, to blow away the cares
of state; and take out the marks that eternally
wearin that heavy crown must bring upon your
tender forehead.” And here, I thought to my
self, crowns ought to be lined with bank-noies to
make them fit easy. “Yes, Gracious Majesty,
you and your husband—and I will say this to
his face, a very fine young matt he is, and I
doubt not, a tarnation good shot with a rifle—
you go to France, and eat frog-pies with Louis
Philippe, and it’s only my hope that that cun-
nin critter (for he’d skin a weasel without wa-
king him) tvuuVsume day eat up all the nm*
lasses, and give you nothin but the basin”—(If
I’d said Spanisk liquorish instead of molasses,
could I ha’ been a grain nearer the truth 1)—
“You go and visit the King of the French, and
the Duke of Cobourgers, and the King of th&
Prushys, and sick like, why not some summer
get up the steam, and jist run over to take a bite
of Homony Cake w ith the Yankees I”
Well, Gracious Majesty looked far aH the
world as if I’d at one blow the very nail her
mind bad been kamnmrin* on. So I follows it
up.
“We’ve plenty of room in the States,” says I,
“for your husband and all the dear children at
Astor House. And there, I guess, the dear
critters won’t be cramped up, as I larn they are
here, but may grow and expand like corn cobs.
Bless you,” said I, for I got sudden familiar,
“dearcritters ! There’s somethin like air?—
Send their royal highnesses to bed at night, and
they’d grow so,you’d disown ’em ir. the uiorn-
mg.”
“And, Gen’ral,” said Gracious Majesty, “you
think they’d mak me welcome in the States ?”
“Welcome!” cried I, “they’d make you up
a bed of Pennsylvania bonds—and you know
how tarnation sound the critters have slept up
on them—and, for a counterpane, kiver you
with the the star spangled banner.,’
From the New Orleans Bulletin,
KOW TO GET RICH,
The late Judge Marlin, left his paternal roof
at Marseilles, while a lad, wjth four hundred
frai cs in money as his sole patrimony. He
rambled about the West Indies and finally
eaclied North Carolina. There his money
was exhausted, and to avoid starvation he got
a place as apprentice to a printer. After three
years service ho was received a journeyman
and became entitled 10 wages. So well did he
manage bis affairs, that in three years he had
laid money enough to buy out his employer.
Some years afterwards he came to Louisiana.
Here while he was a Judge ofthe Supreme
Court, he was also partner of a brick yard.
After seven years his partner in the brick yard
died. In settling their partnership accounts it
became necessary to examine their books. I|
was found that every item of their joint house
hold expenses was marked down from day ta
ay, and that for the whole seven years they
had shared the same table together, they had
each expended, on an average only twenty-fivo
cents per day; including loud and clothing for
their servants and all the oilier expenses of
house keeping. During nil this time the Judge
was receiving a salary of S50QQ per year, hex
sides large profits from the brickyard, and from
Ivs rents, and money piaerd ai interest. Ins 400
francs have been since increased to S4QO.QOO
and upwards! Tbe Judge lived a very poor
man and died a very rich one. During tbn
