A Lyric —Written for the Spirit of the Times— by a bachelor. t I met yestere’en at the Ball, Just under the great chandelier. A fairy form graceful and tall, Which made me feel wondrously queer. Her raven hair waved o’er a brow, Than parian mable more white, And never was seen, as I vow, A step so elastic and light. Rare jewels flash’d bright in her hair, By a tiara of rubies enclosed, But far more surpassingly rare Were the pearls that her sweet lips disclosed. Her eves—Ah ! don’t mention her eyes ! Liquid diamonds floating in jet; Her smile, bright as midsummer skies, Is lingering round my heart yet. Oh say who this beauty can be, And save a fond youth from despair ; If she will but 1 cotton’ to me, I’m hers heart and soul, I declare. From the Sunday Morning News. ANSWER TO HER WHO ASKS ‘IS LOVE LIKE WINE ?’— BY SAMUEL WOODWORTH., Respectfully dedicated to my wife. Yes, love, tike wine, when new and young, Sweetly exhilarates the brain ; Like wine, love fetters too the tongue, When we would deprecate disdain. And love, like wine, improves by age, Growing more mellow, pure and free ; Less liable to wake the rage Os dark, suspicious jealousy. Oh ! I have loved, for thirty years, The faithful partner of my bed ; With her have mingled smiles and tears, Ar.d wiped the precious dtops she shed. For woman’s heart, alive to grief. Though to affliction's pangs'unused, Like the young green geranium leaf, Emits new sweetness when’t is bruised. Thus 1 we have lived and loved together,’ Though wintry skies have threat’ning scowled, Breasting the storms of life’s rough weather, And laughing when the tempest howled. And, hand in hand, we’ve clomh the hill, Cheering each other as we went, Trusting io Him, who helps us still, For daily bread and sweet content. ’T was all we asked, except the grace To fight against the foes within, The evils of our fallen race, And pardon for besetting sin. How oft I’m gazing, unsuspected, To catch a glimpse of her loved frame ! But if the homage be detected, I, like a novice, blush for shame. I catch her voice—’tis music to my ear, And oft, to hear it, make pretext to call her! When she is absent, I’m oppressed with fear, Lest some untoward accident befall her. Yes, love's like wine —’t is proved with ease: Age renders it more rich and sound; Foi, purified upon the lees, With brighter gems the cup is crowned. THE TEST OF FRIENDSHIP. A SHORT AND TRUE STORY. ‘ The hand that wiped away the tear of want The heart that melted at another’s woe, Were his and blessings followed him,’ David Wentworth had the kindest of hearts. There was neither mete nor bound to his be nevolence. except inability. And happy were any man who had a tythe of the prayers that were offered up for the welfare of my friend by the unfortunate and wretched whom his hand had relieved. I speak of prayers —for it was the only re word he obtained ; I mean here but I for got- David was paying attention to a young lady of his native city. She was wealthy, beautiful, and accomplished, and consequent ly had many suitors. Among them were richer and nobler (in extraction I mean) and handsomer men than David, but n’importe, there was a kind of frank heartedness about my friend, that could not fail to carry him somewhere near the heart of Ins mistress, even if an emperor had been his riv al. The young lady hit upon a project to put the character of her lovers to a test. She had come across a poor widow with a family in distress, in one of her benevolent excur sions, and the idea occurred (o Iter that it would be a good opportunity to ascertain the stuff her lovers’ hearts were made of. Let ters were forthwith indited setting forth the good woman’s tale, and forwarded to the dif ferent gentlemen in the widow’s name, re questing an answer and assistance. The first reply was a lecture on idleness and begging, and concluded with the infor mation that the writer was not accustomed to give to those be did not know. This was from ten thousand dollars a year. The se cond advised her to apply to some of the be nevolent societies whose business it was to re lieve those who were truly in want. This from one who had a great reputation for be nevolence—who had taken a leading part in several charitable associations, and whose Pharisaical liberality had been blazoned in the gazettes. The lady thought that interested as he was in the success of these institutions, he displayed a very commendable reluctance about taking it out of their hands. A third from a good hearted and generous kind of fellow—enclosed a five dollar bill with his com pliments. Several took no notice of the good woman’s petition. But there was another answer which the lady read with far different feelings. It was from David —from S3OO a year—and I need not say, like himself kind and consoling. It spoke of the writer’s nar row means, the rule fie had adopted, of never giving unless persuaded of the worthiness of the object, and concluded by requesting an interview. ‘ If,’ said he, I find myself oilier wise unable to afford the assistance you re quire, I trust I may be of service in interest ing others in your behalf.’ Nor was this mere profession. For it was but a few weeks before the widow found her self comfortably located and engaged in a thriving little business, commenced by the re commendation, and carried on by the aid, of my friend. And all this was done in genuine Scripture style. There was no sounding of trumpets—and the right hand knew not the doings of the left. But his lady love was a silent observer of his conduct, and he receiv ed many a kind glance from that quarter, of which he little suspected the cause. She be gan to think that the homage of a spirit like his was not a thing to be despised, and she felt something very much like a palpitation of the heart, as she questioned herself respecting his intentions. Such was the train of thought which was one evening, as is often the case, interrupted by the person who had been its cause. Hour after hour passed by that night, and he still lingered. He could not tear himself away. ‘ She is a most fasinating creature,’ thought he, ‘ and good as she is beautiful. Can she ever be mine?’ And a cloud came over his features, and he sat for a moment in silence. ‘ This suspence must be ended,’ he at length thought. He started as the clock told ele ven. ‘You will certainly think me insufferably tedious,’ said he with a faint smile, ‘ but I have been so pleasantly engaged as to take no note of time. And the sin of litis trespass on the rules of good breeding must lie atvour door. Besides l have lengthened this visit,’ he continued after a pause, 1 under apprehen- sion, as it has been tiie happiest, it might also be the last it shall ever be my good fortune to enjoy with Miss H.’ The lady looked at him with some sur prise. ‘ Nay.’ said he, ‘ the matter rests with your self. Wilt you forgive my presumption ? I know that others, perhaps if not more wor thy of you, at least nobler and wealthier and higher in the world’s esteem, are striving for the honor of your hand. And yet I cannot restrain from making an avowal, which though it may be futile, it is yet hut a deserv ed tribute to your worth. 5 And he popped the question. The lady did not swoon nor turn pale, but a flush of gratification passed over her face and lighted her eve for a moment. She frankly gave him her hand, and looked up archly in Iris face. ‘ The friend of the fatherless and the widow,’ said she, (David blushed,) ‘ cannot fail to make a constant lo ver and a worthy husband.’ From the Edinburg Review.

The spirit and vehemence which animated its greater passages, their perfect application to the subject matter of debate, the appositeness of bis invective to the indi vidual assailed,the boldness of tiie feats which he ventured upon, the grandeur of the ideas which lie unfolded, the heart stirring nature of his appeals,are all confessed by the united tes timony of all his contemporaries; and the fragments which remain bear out to a consid erable extent such representations; nor are we likely to be misled by those fragments, fir the more striking persons were certainly the ones least likely to be either forgotten or fab ricated. To these mighty attractions was added the imposing, the animating, the com manding power of the countenance singular ly expressive; an eye so piercing that hardly any one could stand its glare ; ar.d a manner altogether singularly striking, original and characteristic, notwithstanding a peculiarly defective and even awkward action. Lat terly, indeed, his infirmities precluded all ac tion ; and he is described as standing in the House of Lords, leaning upon his crutch,and speaking lor ten minutes together in an tin dertone of voice scarcely audiole, but raising his notes to their full pitch when he broke out into one of his grand bursts of invective or exclamation. But, in his earlier time, his whole manner is represented as having been, beyond conception, animated and imposing. Indeed, the things which he affected by it principally, or at least have made it possible to attempt, almost exceeded belief. Some of these sallies are, indeed, examples of that ap proach made to the ludicrous by the sublime, which has been charged upon him as a pre vailing fauit, and represented under the name Charletanerie —a favorite phrase with his adversaries, as in later times has been with the ignorant undervaluers of Lord Ers kine. It is related, that cnce in the House of Commons he began a speech with the words, ‘Sugar, Mr. Speaker’—and then, ob serving a smile to prevail in the audience, he paused, looked fiercely round, and, with a loud voice, rising in its notes and swelling in to vehement anger, he is said to have pro nounced again the word ‘ Sugar!’ three limes, and having thus quelled the house, and extin guished every appearance of levity or laugh ter, turned round and disdainfully asked, ‘who will laugh at sugar now ?’ We have this an ecdote upon good traditional authority; that it was believed hv those who had the best means of knowing Lord Chatham, is certain ; and this, of itself, shows their sense of the extraordinary power of his manner, and the reach of Ins audacity in (rusting to those powers. From the New York Mirror. A FRAGMENT. It was the night before the battle of Wa terloo. Napoleon, wrapped up in a military cloak, was passing to and fro before his tent. A number of officers, glittering in gilded fin ery, were seated around some burning logs neai by, engaged in conversation. They had laid out before them several maps, and on a table close at hand was placed a writing-ap paratus, to which, every now and then, one or other of the officers would resort, take up a pen and throw it down again, unable, ap parently, to nut on paper that which was so readily conceived in the mind. The emperor’s movements were quick, and his step firm. There was something in the lofty bearing of his majesty; in the broad, expansive forehead, and the keen, penetra ting eye, which could not escape the notice of any one. You mi Tut strip him of every outward pomp, but still the body and soul of greatness would remain. Reader! imagine yourself for a moment, in the situation we have endeavored to place you on that eventful eve. Night has thrown its mantle over the earth, and in sleep rests many a tired mortal. The conquering army of Napoleon, having cast aside the engines of terror and shielded the sword in the scab hard, are deep in sleep. The distant tramp of the sentinel ; the broken, uneven conver sation of the officers around the fire, and the intermediate yelling.? of a dog hard by, alone disturbed the quiet cf the place. The pale moon shadows forth at intervals through the dark masses of clouds a trembling and uncer tain light, which gives to the periods of its obscurity a sombre more than real. Stand, now, till the morn breaks through those ponderous piles of vapour, and then we will consider more closely the movements of the emperor. There! he has thrown off” his cloak. Ob serve the knitted brow, the restless, half-dis satisfied glances he crisis toward the group around the fire. But stop! who comes there ? Ah !it is one of Ins attendants. He speaks — he returns, aud Napoleon is again alone. With his face turned toward the field of Waterloo, and his arms folded over his breast, the mighty conqueror becomes absorbed in thought. The last straggling officer has betaken him self to the coverings of the tent, and all now is wrapped up in death-like silence. With this favourable opportunity we will take the reader by the hand and lead him to a short distance behind two or three field-pieces, which have been put in order for to-morrow’s deadly work. But hark! ‘ The dog won’t venture out; he’s too cun ning. let me tell you !’ ‘ Hush! you loo!—hush—there’s time e nough!’ ‘ Hush,did you say; and pray who are you, Mr. Spattergowl, that ’ ‘ Who am I? I’ll let you know, if you don’t hold your tongue. Hush! I saV ; hush ! be still, every one of you ! Bob, you keep watch at that rascally sentinel, or I’ll Whist! whist! keep quiet, my lads; we’ll get him yet! Keep quiet, I say !’- ‘ They used to say the fellow likes to walk out in moonlight when all ’ ‘ I tell you, keep quiet! Jim Bazelv, if you don’t keep, vour bead down behind t hat wheel, you may perchance get a run of lead through it ?’ ‘ Never the worse for that, your honor. — Mother always said my head was tough ns lead; though, as how, it’s never had what you may call a fair trial.’ ‘ Whist! I say again, whist! He’s turned around. I wonder what the fellow ruminates about so much? Perhaps lie’s thinking of the many little presents Wellington will send him 10-morrow. But keep still now. I see he’s itching to get out into the moonlight.- There—there he comes. Mind, now, don’t move till I speak. Quiet, boys! Quiet, I sa v !’ Napoleon, little aware of the danger that threatens him, walks with his arms still folded toward the pieces of cannon we have point ed out, and under cover of which lay-conceal ed some four or five ruffians, (whose conver sation we have in part transcribed,) ready to pounce down upon their prey. As fie drew near to them, and his person becoming more distinct in a sudden flood of moonlight, their hearts appeared for the moment t 5 melt, either out of fear for their own safety or a dread against the spilling of such royal blood. ‘Doyou think we had better?’ said one. ‘I—I don’t much fancy it,’said another. ‘l—l—l—wish— ’ said a third. ‘ O ! O ! none of your fooleries, boys!— Now’s the time ! Do it, or rot. do it ?’ ‘ Do it!’ exclaimed all. ‘Then it’s done!’ and foremost of the gang sprang out, presented Ids pistol to the head of Napoleon, followed immediately by his companions. ‘ Silence, or I’ll ’ ‘Or you’ll blow mv brains out!’ added the emperor, in a jocund manner, and at the same moment laughing outright. The cut-throats were confounded. One looked at the other, and the other looked at his neighbor, in perfect amazement. The merry laughter of Napoleon continued, when suddenly, in an opposite direction, a flash—a whiz —a hang, succeeded, and the foremost assassin fell to the ground. In a moment lie was surrounded by a dozen or twenty solcieis, all eager to show their attachment, even at the cost of their own lives. As if nothing out of the ordinary course of things had tran spired, Napoleon simply waved his hand,say ing to one of the subordinate officers that stood by bis side, ‘ Let those men be put in chains till daylight,’and then walked away to liis tent, .apparently unmoved and uncon cerned. Daylight arrived. The emperor came forth, mounted on a pure white charger, the trappings of his harness set with gold. It was a noble sight. Long was the line of burnished steel, which passed in review before him. As far as the eve could reach there was a continual glitter of polished metals that reflected back, with the brilliancy of the di amond, the rays of the morning sun. Nu merous officers, clad in the richest garments, ornamented with gold-lace, and their high, flowing plumes waving in the breeze, accom panied their commander. The order had already been given, that the men who were arrested the night before should be shot, without a hearing. Napo leon was to be present at the execution; and, as lie appeared in ihe distance wuh his nu merous retinue, the prisoners were brought out hand-cuffed, their coats and vests thrown off, and their bosoms bared for the bullet.— A few hours of horrid suspense had worked j inconceivably upon their looks and actions, j They were ghastly pale, and the traces of deep anguish were visible upon their fore heads; yet they stood firm and undaunted before the well-aimed guns of the soldiery. Not a limb shook—not a lip quivered—and thus they were launched into eternity. Napoleon turned from the scene of death with a smile! From the New York Mirror. A SABBATH IN TIIE COUNTRY. BY WILLIAM HOIYITT, THE QUAKER. Let us away in the far, far count ry ! Into the still, pure, unadulterated country. Ah ! here indeed is a Sabbath! What a sunny peace, what a calm, yet glad repose, lies on its fair hills; over all is solemn woods! How its flowery dales, and deep, secluded valleys, reflect the holy tranquility of heaven ! It is morn and the sun comes up the sky as if he knew it was a day of universal pause in the workings of the world; lie shines over Ihe glittering dews, and green leaves, and ten thousand blossoms; and the birds fii! the blue, fresh air, with a rapture of music. The earth looks new and beautiful as on the day of its creation. Man rests from bis labors, and every thing rests with him. There lie the weary steeds that have dragged the chain and smarted under the lash ; that have pulled the plough and the ponderous wagon, or flown over hill or dale at man’s bidding; there they lie, on the slope of the sunny field ; and the very sheep and cattle seem imbued with their luxurious enjoyment of rest. The farmer has been walking into his fields, look ing over this gate arid that fence, into enclo sures of grass mottled with flowers like a car pet, or rich, green corn growing almost visi bly ; at his cattle and the shady quiet of his house. And it is a shady quiet. The sun glances about its porch,and flickers among the | leaves on the wall, and the sparrows chirp, and fly to and fro; but the dog lies and slumbers j on the step of the door, or only raises his he ad to snap at the flies that molest him—the very j cat, coiled up on a sunbright border in Ihe garden, sleeps voluptuously-—within, all is; cleanness and rest. There is a clean, cool parlor; the open window lets in the odor of j the garden—the yet cool and delicious odor j —and the hum of bees ; flowers stand in I their pots in the window; gathered flowers j stand on the breakfast table; and the far-J mer’s comely wife—already dressed f>r the ! day—as she sees him come in sits* down to pour out his coffee. Over the croft-gate the | laborers are leaning, talking of the last week’s 1 achievements, and those of ihe week to conic; and in many a collage garden the cottagers, with their wives and children, are wandering up and down, admiring the growth of this and that; and every one settles, in his own mind, that his cabbages, and peas, and! beans, are the best in the whole country;! and, that, as for currants, gooseberries, apri-i cots and strawberries, there never were such crops since trees .and bushews grew. But the bells ring out from the old church tower. The vicar is .already issuing from his pleasant parsonage ; groups of peasantry are already seen streaming over the uplands toward the village ; in the lanes gay ribands and Sunday gowns glance from between the trees; and every house sends forth its in habitants to worship. Blessings on those gray old fabrics that stani} on many a hill, and in many a lowly hollow, over aii this be loved country. I delight to enter and sit down among their rustic congregations. But Sunday morning is past ; and after noon is rolling away ; but it shall not roll away without i's dower of happiness shed on every down, and into every beautiful vale, of this fair country. Closed are the doors of the church, but opened are those of thou sands and tens of thousands of dwellings to receive friends and kindred. And around the pleasant tea tab.e happy groups are ’ gathering in each other’s house, freed from elingmg, pressing, enslaving cures of the sj.\ rluys; aiul sweetly, and lull of renewing strength to the heart does the evening roll away. And does it not roll as sweetly where, t’.V many a cottage door, the aged grand lather and grand mother sit with two'gene rations about them, and bask in another glo rious Sabbath sunset? And is it not sweet where friends stroll through the delicious fields in high or cheerful talk; along the green lane, or broom-engoldencd hill “side; or down into the woodland valley, where the waters run clear and chiminglv, amid the dripping grass and the brooklitne, and the yellow beams of the descending sun glance serenely among the trees? And is it not sweet where, on some sequestered stile, sit two happy lovers ; or where they stray along some twilight path, and the woodbine and the wild rose arc drooping their flowerv boughs over them, while earth and heaven, sup’emely lovely in themselves, take new and divine hues from their own passionate spirits ; and youth and truth are theirs; the present is theirs i:t love ; the future is Iheirs in high confidence; all that makes glorious the life of angels is theirs for a time? Yes! all through the breadth of tiiis great land— through its cities, its valleys, its fair fields— its liberated millions are walking in the eve of heaven, drinking in its sublime calm, re freshed by its gales, soothed by the peaceful beauty of the earth. ‘There is a pause of profound, holy tranquility, in which twilight drops down upon innumerable roofs, and prayers ascend from countless hearths, in city and in field, on earth and mountain, and then —tis gone ; the sabbath is ended. But blessings, and ten thousand blessings, be upon that day; and let myriads of thanks stream up to the throne of God for this divine and regenerating gift to man. As I have sate in some flowery dale, with the sweet ness of May around me, on a week day l have thought of all the millions of immortal creatures toiling for their daily life in facto ries and shops, amid the whirl of machit ery, and the greedy cravings of mercantile gain, and suddenly this golden interval of time has lain before me in all its brightness—a time, and a perpetually recurring time, in which the iron clasp of earthly tyranny is loosed, and peace, faith and freedom, ihe angels of God, come down and walk once more among men ! Ten thousand blessings on this day, the friend of man and beast. The bigot wot and rob it of its healthful freedom, on the on hand, and coop up man in his wmk- - dungeons, and cause him walk win !?. steps and downcast eves, and tire i h . would desecrate all its sober decoum other. Let us still avoid Puritan r: : French dissipation. Let <u chi servants, and those who toil lb. us in \- and shops, and factories, between the mt.- vals of solemn worship have freedom to walk in the face of heaven and the beauty of earth; fur in Ihe great temple of nature stand to gether—health and piety. For myself—l speak from experience—it has always been my delight to go out on a Sunday, and, like Isaac, meditate in the fields, and especially in the sweet tranquility, and the gathering shadows of the evening; and never, in tem ple or in closet, did more hallowed influences fall upon my heart. With the twilight and the hush of earth a tenderness has stolen up on me; a desire for everything pure and ho ly : a love for every creature on whom God has stamped the wonder of his handiwork; but especially to every ehild of humanity; and then have I been made to fee! that there is no oratory like that which has heaven itself for its roof, and no teaching like the teaching of the Spirit vvliieh created and still overshad ows the world with its infinite wings. If any of our readers wish a clever dose of -Miss Martineau-ism we advise them to read Sams Slick's second scries. * Year afore last, I met an English trail tra vellin’ in a steamboat; she had a French name that I can’t recollect, though I got it on the tip o’ my tongue too; you know who I mean—she wrote books on economy—not do mestic economy, as galls ought, but on poli tical economy, as galls oughtn’t, for they don’t know nothin’ about if. She had a trumpet in her hand—thinks I, v\hoon airth is she agoin* to hail, or is she agoin’ to try echoes on the river? I watched her for some time, and l found it was an ear-trumpet. Well, well, says I, that’s unlike most English travellers any way, for in a gineral way they wear nriagniiyin’ glasses, and do enlarge things so, a body don’t know ’em agin when lie sees ’em.. Now, this gall won’t hear one half that’s said, anti will get that half wrong, and so it turned out. Says she to me, beautiful country this, Mr. Slick ; says she, 1 in trans ported. Transported, said I, why, what on der the sun did you do to home to get trans ported?—but she larfed right out like any thing; delighted, I mean, says site, it’s so beautiful. It is splendid, said I, no doubt r there ain’t the beat of it to be found any where. Oh! said she, what views, what sbenery, what woods, what a river ! how I should like to soar away up with that are ea gle into the blue sky, and see ail its beauties spread out afore me like a map! How grand —every thing is on a grand scale ! Have you seen the Kentuckians? said 1. Not vet, said Stop, then, said I, till you see them. They are on a scale that will please you, I guess; whopping big fellows them, I tell you ; half’ horse, half aligafor, with a touch of the airthquake. I wasn’t a talking of the men, said she, ’tis the beauties of na- Inr’ I was admiring. Well, said I, once on a time I used to admire the beauties of natur’ too, hut I got eured of that. Sit down on this f etich, said she, and tell me how it was —these kind o’ anecdotes serve to illustrate the ‘ moral of feelin.’ Thinks I, this is phil osophy now,* moral es feelin.’ Well, if the moschetoes don’t illustrate your moral of feel ing some of these nights, T’m mistaken.— Very immoral fellows, !hose ’sketers.’ An innkeeper lately complaining to a Frenchman that his home was greatly infest ed with rats, and that he would willingly o'tve a considerable sum to get rid of them, was on the morning he received his bill, accosted by him, 4 sair, I shall tell you vieh vay vou shaft get rid of de rat.’ ‘I will he much obliged to vou if you can,’ replied the landlord. Veil den only charge de rat as you charge me.and de rat vil never come to y'our house again.’ A Splendid. Bridge. —The bridge over the James River at Richmond, is one thousand yards long, rests upon ID stone piers, the arches having- a space of one hundred and sixty feet, and the floor is sixty feet above the water—it cost sllO 000. It was first passed hv the cars on Saturday the Provi dence Courier. Exercise in talking fast.—Let those who are Slow in speech, try to say the following rap.d.y: There was a man his name was Dob, and be had a wife whose name was Mob, and he had a dog whose name was Coh and she had a cat whose name was Choly Bob-Cob, says Dob, Chittv Bobsavs olob—C,)b was Dob’s dog and Chittv Rob was Moo s cat.
