Say not every hope is fled! Friend—physician —save save her. Oh! but knew you how 1 love her, You would try your soul s endeavour It is vain, then ! she is dead. Dead and gone—l know not whither But her soul returns not hither Could I only follow thither, Thither joying would I fly— For in life there's no more gladness, And the world is filled with sadness— Living longer would be madness— It is better far to die. Go! and tell ine not that sorrow. Such as mine can ever borrow Consolation from the morow Morrow knows no joy lor me. For each day brings some fresh token That in vain are kind words spoken To the heart that has been broken— Ever broken must it be. ***** Shrouded in her long dark tresses Feels she not my wild caresses? Fells she not the lip that pre.-ses— Presses hot upon her brow ! Hears she not my widowed mourning ? No! that eye, once passion burning. Not an answer is returning— Coldlv staring at me now! ***** I have seen what men call lairest — Each may think his own the rarest — But my my soul conceived her nearest The embodiment of love: She is there et.ll—look upon her! For decay hath not yet won her— And though Death’s damp hand is on her. Does she not your pulses move ? Saw you e’er a cheek so tender! Or a hand so white and slender ! Or a waist that would engender Such a yearing to caress? Saw you eye so liquid ever! Or a lip so luring ? Never! ’Twould have made your heart-strings’ quiver But in life that lip to press. And she loved me—she had sworn it— She had won my heart and worn it— Oh! the anguish that hath torn it. They alone can know, who part With the one and only being, Who, by Nature's kind decreeing, Hath been blended with their being And entwined around their heart. She had neither father —mother— Without sister—Without brother! She and 1 were to each other All the world and all its joy : From our hearts each day united, By our lips fresh vows were plighted— And our souls with love benighted, Never dreamt of its alloy. Oft at midnight from my sleeping T have woke, and found her weeping— md her jealous vigil keeping— Keeping o’er me in my sleep! For her love was ever zealous— Never cold and barely jealous— For the loss of such love, tell us, Is it strange that now I weep ? Oh! then tell not that sorrow Such as mine can ever borrow Consolation from the morrow— Morrow knows no joy for me: For each day brings some fresh token That in vain arc kind words spoken To the heart that has been broken— Ever broken must it be! ***** And I know ’tis vain and folly— Most profane, and mo.-t unholy Thus to mourn; since fate hath lowly— Lowly laid her lovely form: Vet tar vainer were the notion, That a life-time of devotion, Could allay the wild emotion, Burning now my bosom warm. No! 1 cannot cease to mourn her— Though ’tis God’s own hand hath torn her— And Ins angel that hath borne her To that home where angels dwell— A- I gaze, remembrance reading In her dark eyes painful pleading, Fresh my heart begins its bleeding And life seems a hopeless hell! Oh! then tell me not that sorrow Such as mine can ever borrow Consolation front the morrow— Morrow knows no joy for me: For each day brings some fresh token, That in vain are kind words spoken To the heart that has been broken— Ever broken must it be. ***** And they tell nte I am lonely— To the world 1 seem so only— But I never can be lonely For by day—in dreams by night— There’s a love-born spirit near me— And it seems to see and hear me— While a dark eye smiles to cheer nte With its pure and holy light. In the sunbeam’s mid-day brilliance, Round me still its kind surveillance Luring woos to sweetest dalliance As when she was by my side! And when night is closing o’er me. In the darkling forms before me, Likt- an angel watching o’er me Seems my own sweet spirit bride. In the midnight deep and sombre— In nty lone and voiceless chamber, Pouring bliss into my slumber, O’er my bosom dark eye3 beam! ’Till my sense is drunk—yet aching With a thirst that knows no slaking— And my giddy soul, awaking, Half denies it was a dream! Could a love so well united— I” or our very souls were plighted— Could such love by death be blighted ! Blighted, never more to bloom ? O, give me hope that’s sweeter! Tell me—tell me I shall meet her, And w.th burning kisses greet her In a land beyond the tomb! Yes ! amidst my desolation— ’ 1 is not fancy s talse creation— That a strange sweet consolation Heals my bleeding, broken heart! And it tells me, “t wJI be given for our hearts thus rudely riven, To unite again in Heaven, Never, never more to part! (flu’ ftorq (feller. THE ffFFT OR. JEREMY SHORT GIVING IN HIS EXPERIENCE As thistles wear the softest down, To hide their prickles till they're grown, And then declare themselves, and tear Whatever ventures to come near.— Hudibras. “ How are you, my dear fellow ? John, a chair for Mr. Graham —excuse my rising, ton see I’m gouty —beef- steaks and bumpers have done it la>t, and. though only sixty-seven, I’m real ly beginning to feel old.” “ W hat! and yet reading a novel!” I was reading of a young vi fugo, who, with the appearance of an angel, had the temper of a demon. 1 felt the more interested in the subject because she reminds me of the heroine ol that picture—the one over the man tle-piece—‘The Tiff,’ 1 call it.” 4 * have often heard you say, Jere my that there was a story connected with it. Tell me the tale.” 1 ’ up the lire—take ache root. John, retire till you’re called— and now, my dear lad, we’ll be as cosy lor the rest of the evening as if we’d just eaten a Thanksgiving dinner, and had had our fill of boilded turkey and ster sauce. ‘ Blessed be the man.’ as Sancho Panza says of sleep, that first invented turkeys—though to my taste, it would be better if they all ran about, ready boiled, swimming in gravy and oysters. But to my tale. “ When l was about twenty —that was in the year 1803—contemporane ous, 1 believe, with your grandfathers marriage—-1 knew as pretty a girl as ever sewed a sampler on week days, or carried Iter prayer-book on Sundays to church. “Bella Belgrave was the beauty of the district. Her step was such as a dryad's might be supposed to be; her eyes were as dazzling as the sun at noon-day; her lips were fragrant as strawberries, and twice as sweet; and her voice—sir, if you could have heard it, you would have fancied that a night ingale had nestled in her throat, or that St. Cecilia herself was come down from heaven. At twenty, a man falls in love as naturally as he takes to smoking; and he does both, 1 suppose, to prove himself full-grown. Well, l soon lost my heart to Bella. Nor was my suit hopeless. lam handsome yet, as you see—don’t laugh tit me, you young scapegrace —and, of course, 1 was hand some at twenty. I wrote poetry, too, which won girls’ hearts then just as a moustache does now ; and I had a pret ty little fortune; so 1 was soon the ac cepted lover of Bella. “ Bella possessed but one fault —she had a deuce of a temper. Now, a lit tle sharpness in a wife may occasional ly be very excellent, just to spice the monotony of matrimony, its mustard spices beef; but too much of it is as bad as spilling the contents of a whole pepper-box in your plate, when you had just taken the last bit of what was nice on the table. Not that Bella was what is called quick-tempered—l often w ish she had been—for it is better to blow off superabundant steam now and then, than to keep it screwed stubbornly down, till, some day, a grand explosion takes place, that sends everything to kingdom come. Unfortunately, Bella both took offence easily, and then ‘nursed her wrath to keep her warm.’ She had been so much petted that no thing short of abject slavery on the part of a lover would suit her; and i'fhith, 1 grew tired at last, as you shall hear. “ One day 1 had been singing to her a ballad she had asked me to write to some of her music, w hen one of her friends came in—a dashing little crea ture she was—since a great grand mother, my lad, with three hundred and fifty lineal descendants, egad—and I. as in duty bound, did my Lest to be agreeable. Scarcely, however, had the visitar gone, when Bella with a face like a thunder-cloud, began. ‘ Mightv sociable you and Alice Green are !’ she said, *1 suppose you’re half in love with her still? 1 always heard you were her most devoted admirer.’ ‘“Now Bella,’ 1 said, ‘don’t be jeal ous ’ “ ‘Jealous! - she exclaimed, stamping her little foot, while her eyes flashed fire : ‘it is time to be jealous, sir, w hen every pretty face you meet tempts you to neglect me. But I’m not jealous— I’m only ashamed of you, sir.’ “ ‘My dear, lovely creature,’ I began again, trying to take her hand. But she jerked it pettishly away. “ ‘Don’t dear me,’ she broke forth— ‘you know you don’t love me ; you never come here more than once a day, while Harry Saville, whom I dismissed for you —more fool I—used to be here three times a day, and always dined with us on Sundays.’ “ 1 began to grow red in the face, I assure you, at being thus talked to ; but 1 mastered my rage —you know I’m a meek man, it’s because of that I was chosen president of the Peace Society , —and said meekly, ‘ Bella, dear, don’t be foolish ! 1 love you better than till the rest of your sex put together ; but you musn’t expect me to neglect, nay, insult by my rudeness, every other wo man 1 meet. Once for all, let this be understood between us.’ “ Woman's rights were not yet thought of, my boy, and wives were expected to obey their husbands, as nature and Scripture command. I deem ed it high time for asserting my prerog atives, and spoke accordingly. ‘Yes !’ I repeated, ‘you are unjust; you ask too much, my dear Bella.’ •She made no answer,but sat sullen and sulky. I again attempted to take her hand, and, thinking I had spoken too harshly, used a tone of mild per suasion. But she only replied by jerk ing her hand away, and removing her chair from me. 1 expostulated with her; I told her how idle was her jeal ousy ; but, the more earnestly I de fended myself, the farther she hitched her chair round, until she brought its back directly against that of mine. “ I now gave up explanations, and sat silent. Her pettishness began to open my eyes. She had always been unreasonably exacting ; her vanity for ever ran ahead of possible attentions; and the jealousy, thus unjustly enter tained,yet continually smothered by her sullen temper, was now come to a crisis. As I stole an occasional look at her, over my shoulder, I saw no longer any beauty in that sulky face. My love was fast changing to anger. 1 asked myself why I had submitted so long to her tyranny. “ et, fearing that l might be also in the wrong, though unconscious how, I made a last effort, after we had sat for some time in silence, to conciliate her. For this purpose, I threw my hand over my shoulder, and dangling my glove so as to let it playfully strike her head, 1 said, smiling and speaking gaily, ‘A penny for your thoughts, Bella. Come,forgive and forget. We’ve had a very pretty quarrel, now let's make it up. You know the making up is always the sweetest part of it.’ And, as l spoke, I wheeled my chair round, and would have put m) arm around her as of old. “ Did you ever see a tigress in a fu ry ? If not, you've no idea how Bella lookedthen. She had been sitting,pout ing, pulling at a chain to which was attached my miniature; she now sprang to her feet, her eyes emitting fire like an electric-machine in the dark, and her whole countenance distorted with passion. ‘“Unhand, me, sir,’ she cried, ‘how dare you touch me after having in sulted me ? Leave the house this in stant, sir!’ “ I had borne a good deal; 1 was not going to endure any more. I had never dreamed that my charmer had such a temper. I replied, haughtily, ‘As you please, miss ; but if I go now, remember I go for ever.’ “ She became white as death for an SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. instant —1 had spoken firmly, and she knew me to be resolute —but directly her face grew redder than ever, and, with a jerk, breaking the miniature from its chain, she cast it, shivered into atoms at my feet. “‘I discard you, as 1 discard that,’ she hissed between her teeth. ‘Never dare to come here again ! “My eyes darted lightning at her: I was, for once in my life, in a towerin', passion; but 1 remembered that I wa a gentleman, and, therefore, controll ing my tongue, I merely bowed low, bade her a good morning, and walked from the house.” “ And is that all, Jeremy ?” “ All. She repented the next day, and sent a verbal message to me that she forgave me; but 1 took no notice of it. Forgave me, egad ! Yet it was long before 1 cured myself entirely of my passion. I often found myself on the point of going back to her ; but, in such moments of weakness, 1 called up the vision ofher face inflamed with pas sion, and thought what a precious life 1 should lead, if my wife was to treat me to such exhibitions every now and then, as 1 felt sure Bella would if I married her. She actually did drive her first husband into being a drunkard; but her second was too tough for her; he had buried three w ives before, and knew how to manage viragoes; he said no thing to her when she got into a pas sion, and, consequently, in three years she fretted herself to death. And now . my dear fellow, take another cheroot, and I’ll ring for coffee.” “And the picture was painted to com memorate your escape ?” “.lust so; Wellington lias one of Waterloo, and thanks Heaven, they say, whenever he looks at it; and, lam sure, I do the same when I regard The rn is 1 IFF. 3 (Snlilrt nf |Mmr|j. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST PESTILENCE. ,i Constitutional Dialogue between Jones and Brown. JONES. Why, Brown, how well you look, I say. In this alarming season. To what you did the other day! Old fellow, what’s the reason ! BROWN. Well, I do feel an alter’d man, For which I owe thanksgiving; I’ve also rather changed the plan And manner of my living. JONES. What would I give to be like you! I’m ill and melancholy; I wish you’d tell me what to do, To look so fresh and jolly. BROWN. Then, first of all, betimes I rise. And wash myself all over; Not cleansing only whhat your eyes Are able to discover. My wife and children, too, I make, To arm the constitution, Each morn their soap and water take, And do the like ablution. Scrubb'd sweet and clean I’ve had my home From garrets to foundation ; And taken care, in every room, To ’stablish ventilation. Beneath my kitchen ran a drain, Which oft the nose offended ; The sink was faulty, it was plain— I caused it to be mended. Then, also, on a certain head I've made a large reduction— One mild glass only, just ere bed. Is my extent of suction. The money saved in drink I spend In good, nutritious diet, And warm apparel. Now,my friend, You know my system—try it. Then epidemics you may view With very slight misgiving; They seldom trouble people who Adopt my style of living. JONES. I think you’re right, and mean to try Your measure of protection ; And so—please Goodness—shall defy Contagion and infection. MAXIMS AND OPINIONS OF FIELD MARSHAL WIDDICOMB. When war is concluded, all animosity should be forgotten, 1 love to see the British and French troops fraternize together as soon as the battle of Wa terloo is over. To set them a good ex ample, 1 have often tossed with Marshal Ney myself. Folly may take liberties with Wis dom, but let Wisdom once get the whip-hand of Foly, and Folly soon drops its tone and learns to keep a re spectful distance. Every man has his “ Sauve-qu-i-pent.” I confess I should run away myself from an engagement where 1 was told I should meet nothing but Irishmen. As to moral courage, 1 have rarely met the three-months-after-date kind. I mean unprepared courage, that which enables a man, without wincing, to put his name to a bill the moment it is placed before him. I was madly fond of Poetry, as a young man, but I had to stand one morning at rehearsal at Ducrow’s Pe gasus, and he kicked it all out of me. I travelled once with Gomersal. “What are you?” said the man at the passport office. “I am the Child of Destiny!” loudly answered Gomersal, as naturally as if he had been that mo ment on the Field of Waterloo. lie was very indignant when his costume of Buonaparte was taken away from him at Boulogne. I recollect he was very nearly imprisoned out of mistake tor Prince Louis Napoleon, and only owed his escape to the fact of his not being able to speak a word of French. Whether he cherished any designs upon the French throne, it would be the height of presumption in me to say. If people are discontented, give them a riddle. It is astonishing how quiet they become. lam positive, if riddles were to be asked in the House of Com mons, that many of those riotous pro ceedings would be put a stop to, which are a disgrace to a civilized community. They call me ambitious, but my only ambition has been to be the centre of the most fashionable circle in London, and in this I have long ago succeeded. If my ambition had been of a “vault ing kind, there is not a barrier in man's path, which, with the horses at my command, I could not easily have leapt over. Those who call me ambi tious, little know me. It was Napoleon’s favourite boast, that “ he had made all his Generals out of mud.” I may boast the same origin for mine, for, as a rule, I never make a man a General in my army until 1 know he is a “ thorough brick.” If you ask me which are the best troops, I answer, “ The Irish.” They will stand fire like a mutton chop.— Their love of fighting leads them into all sorts of disturbances. They should have been born razors, they tire such such delicious blades for a scrape. In fact, if there is a quarrel in the street, you may make up your mind to this — that an Irishman is as sure to be there as a policeman is not. The May Prince.— lt has been au thoritatively announced that the new Prince, having been born on the birth day of the Duke of Wellington, is to be named Arthur, in compliment to the Hero of Waterloo. We perfectly Ap prove of this arrangement, and regret that we cannot second the su merest ion of a highly respectable deputation ot chimney-sweeps, who waited outside our office on Wednesday last, with a proposal that, in consequence of the royal infant having been born on Chim ney Sweepers’ Day, he should be called the Black Prince.

If all the Comets arrive that are predicted, we doubt if the sky will be large enough to hold such a Fosse Comet-atus ! ißrlntir nf Bit. Dreaming for a Breakfast —Down in Aroostook county, Maine, a Scotch man and an Irishman happened to be journeying together through the most interminable forest of that region, and by some mishap had lost their way and wandered about in a pitiable condition fora while, when they fortunately came across a miserable hovel, which was deserted save by a lone chicken. As this poor biped was the only thing eatable to lie obtained, they eagerly despatched and prepared it for supper. \\ hen laid before them, Pat concluded that it was insufficient for the support of both himself and Sawney, and therefore a proposition was made to his companion that they should spare the chicken until the next morning, and the one who had the most pleasant dream should have the chicken, which was agreed to. In the morning Sawney told his dream. He thought angels were drawing him up to Heaven in a basket, and he was never before so happy. Upon concluding his dream, Pat exclaimed, “ Och, sure, and by Ja bers, i saw you going, and thought you wouldn’t come back after the chicken, and 1 got up and ate it myself /” Love and Mathematics. —Among the numerous acquirements of a cele brated French lady, Mdlle. de Launay, was geometry, which enabled her to express the amount of attachment felt for her by a lover, w ith a degree of precision that is seldom attained in chronicling affairs of the heart. A cer tain M. de Key was in the habit of es corting her home from the house of a friend. r l hey had to cross a square, and in the commencement of the ac quaintance, to prolong the moments of tender intercourse, he always conducted her along its sides. Time passed on, his passion became less warm, and lie led her directly across it; on which the lady “concluded that his love had di minished in the same proportion which exists between the diagonal of a square and the sides of (he same.” A Distinction. —A Roman ecclesi astic, in reply to whatever question might be proposed, began by saving, “1 make a distinction.” A cardinal having invited him to dine, proposed to derive some amusement for the company from the well-known peculi arity of his guest. Saying to him that he had an important question to pro pose, lie asked, “Is it, under any cir cumstances, lawful to baptise in soup?” “1 make a distinction,” said the priest; “if you ask, is it lawful to baptise in soup in general, I say no! if you ask, is it lawful to baptise in your excel lency’s soup, J say yes! for there is really no difference between it and water.” A Barrister’s Pun. — “Plunket,” said O’Connell, “had great wit. He was a creature of exquisite genius. Nothing could be happier than his hit in reply to Lord Itedesdale about the kites. In a speech before liedesdale, Plunket had occasion to use the phrase “ kites very frequently, as designat ing fraudulent hills and promissory notes. Lord liedesdale, to whom the phrase was quite new, at length inter rupted him, saying, “1 don’t quite un derstand your meaning, Mr. Plunket. In England, kites are paper playthings used by boys; in Ireland they seem to mean some monetary transactions.” “There is another difference, my lord,” said Plunket; “in England the wind raises the kite; in Ireland the kite raises the wind” A Juvenile's Opinion of Law.— “Come here, my lad,” said an attorney to a boy about nine years old. The boy went, and asked the attorney what case avhs to be tried next. The lawyer answered, “A case between the people and the devil—which do you think will be the most like to gain the action?” The boy replied, “I guess it will be a pretty hard squeeze—they people have got the most money, but the devil the most lawyers.” Negro Wit. —“ Jack,” said a gentle man to an old negro who was rather lazily engaged in clearing the snow from his premises; “Jack, my old boy, you don’t get along with this job very last.” “Why, master,” replied Jack, scratching his avool, “pretty consider able for an old man, I guess; and I conceit myself, that 1 can clear more snow away in dese short days than the spryest nigga in the city could do in the longest summer day as ever was.” He Died High. —An Irishman who was talking in rather ambiguous terms about the sudden death of his paternal relative, was asked if he had lived high! “Well, 1 can’t say he did,” said Terence, “but he died high.” “Why, what do you mean?” “ Faith, I mean that, like the Habeas Corpus Act, he was suspended.''’ Effects of Liquor.— Magistrate. — What has brought you here, sir? Prisoner. —Two policemen, please your honour. Magistrate. —Then 1 suppose liquor had nothing to do with it ? Prisoner. —Yes, sir. They w r as both drunk! UrttMngs nt llnahim. “ A miss is as good as a mile,” said a young lady. “ Much better some times,” observed the gentleman she was conversing with. Aunt Betsy would like the shower bath very well, it* it didn’t come down | so, and wasn’t so wet, like. She thinks | it quite shocking. A correspondent says, “Having seen in your paper that Lola Montes was the daughter of a Cork lady, 1 beg to ask whether that does not fully account for her light character ?” A gentleman invited out to dinner was looking at a small book of miscel laneous pictures, and observed to the lady of the house, “Y on asked me out to dine, and I have found some scraps.” “ Henry, love,” 1 wish you would throw away that book and talk with me —I feel so dull.” (A long silence and no reply.) “O, Henry, my foot is asleep!” “Is it—well, don't talk, dear, you might wake it.” A Hexham barber was bragging that i he could shave anything —even “the face of Nature.” “Faith,” said an Irish reaper, who chanced to be in the shop, “what of that ? I shave the face of nature oft enough, Id a hook!” A man who was reprimanded by a ; divine for swearing, replied that he did not see any harm in it. “No harm in I it!” said the minister; “what, do you not know the commandment, ‘Swear not at all?'” “1 do not swear at all” I said the man, “I only swear at those who annoy me.” “ I will bet you a bottle of wine that you shall descend from that chair before ; l ask you twice.” “Done,” said the ; gentleman, who seemed determined not ! to obey the summons so obediently. ! “Come down.” “ I will not,” was the | reply. “ Then stop up until I ask you j a second time.” The gentleman having no desire to retain the position till that period, came down from the chair, and | the party won the wager.

AI.ARGEstock of these well known PENS constantly on hand, for sale as above. CAUTlON.—Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil i.ott’s style of Lauel, his mode of putting up his Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to give the following NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe cially refers to his original No. 303, the great popularity of which has caused it to be imitated, and the number adopt ed by a host of pretended makers. Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that, in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of his Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the Pens are not made by him, although asserted to be. An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to bring iiis Steel Pens to the HIGHEST state of perfec tion, and the liberal patronage which he has long enjoyed at tlte hands of the American public, will incite him to con tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he lias ac quired.
