I’ve loved aa woman ever loves With constant soul iu good or ill; Thou’st proved, as man too often proves, A rover—but I love the still! Yet think not that my spirit stoops To bind thee captive in my train! Love'a not a flower, at sunset droops. But smiles when conies her god again ! Thy words, which fall unheeded now, Could once my heart-strings sadly thrill'! Love's golden chain and burning vow Are broken—but I love thee still i Once what a heaven of blisa was ours, When love dispelled the clouds of care, And time went by with birds and flowers, While songs and incense filled the air! The past is mine—tbe present thiue— Should thoughts of tue thy future fill, Think what a destiny is mine, To lose—but love thee, false one, still!

From the waters of the East river, and New York Bay, so lately heated by the burning sun of summer, now rose a dense fog in the frosty air, and up through this steam the great blood-red sun looking fitly on the mur derous scene about to ensue. Upon the Iliooklyn side, and near the Brit ish camp, a rude gallows had been erected, and around this stood a rough rabble, of das tard tories, hired Hessians, and British sol diers. Beneath tire rope which dangled from’ the fatal beam, waj narrow and frail pint font , w liich by a single blow could be knock ed away. Then out from his prison, with coarse jests and mockeries, they led a young man—one upon whose high, pale brow, the hand of the great Creator had written, “ This is one ofrny nobleniem” i Ilis step was firm—his clear bluo eye did not slirit k when it glanced upon the g.illews tree, nor falter when it gazed upon (hfi fero cious faces of his more than heartless foes those who had denied liiin tlrd privilege of a parting line to those whom he loved, lest they should know how an American patriot could die—who had even refused to let him have a hil.le to console him iu his last hour upon earth. His foot was on the platform—he stood upon its crest, and the halter was tiuozed around his snow-white, neck. ” Rebel to your king and master, how do you fee! now V’ said the Biitish officer—butch er I mean—who superintended the affair. “ 1 know no king hut tlie Kino of kings, and He is master of thy master!” said the undaunted patriot. “ Are yon not sorry tlmt you have got your self into this scrape I” continued the officer. “ I have hut a single regret.” replied the patriot. “It is that I have but one life to lose for my country !” “Knock away the platform!” shouted the officer to the. executioner, while his face dark ened into purple with rage, “the world shall not know how such men die!” T 1 o order was obeyed, and in an instant that manly form hung quivering In the air. Yet no sign~df agony distorted the noble fea tuers of his uncovc.ed face; the angels from above had sealed it with n martyr’s smile— a smile of triumph over death aud cracky. In silence gazed tory, hireling and foe— in silence, until all life had le*'tt!nit patriot’s form. Then the rope was cut, and with it still around his neck, with neither winding sheet or cuffiu, .tire corpse was thrust into a shallow pit ut the gibbet's unhallowed base. Sl-'KNB 11. It was the afternoon of the same day.— The officers of the British cainp were revel ing at n grand banquet. Mo ,- rily passed the jest, while wine flowed as freely as blood had run a few days before. And while the revel was at its height, a boat approached the shore. In it ws s a yonng female, clad iu robes of sable litre, who, as soon as her foot pressed the shore, asked of a sentinel where she could find the commanding officer. Her face so pale, her form so slight, her great blue eyes swim ming in a sea of grief, touched the rude sol dier’s heart, for perchance lie had a wife or sister iu a far-off land, and he pointed out to her the house wheie the officers held revel. She hurried ih ther, shuddeiing as she pas sed the fatal gallows-tree, and saw the little mound of fresh-heaped earth beneath it. The revel was at its height when that pale young girl entered the room. For an in stant tiiere was’a hubh, though the lustful ey.fi.of many a vile libertine marked the beauties of the visitor. “1 come,” she said, and her clear, flute like voice trembled as she spoke, “to ask of you the body of my murdered brother. I iim the sister of Nathan Hale, whom ye slew this morning!” ‘ ’ _ ’ “Peihaps his sweetheart, my pretty oue!” cried one of the officers, with a sneer. “He is out nt the way, choose one of us in his stead!” , * - “ Yes, yes, cried another. Our motto is beauty and booty I” The poor girl, all unused to insult, and to rudeness of camps, and U>such chivalry as the British showed to American women du ring all of that cruel and merciless war, burst into tears. In one noble heart iu that scar let-coated throng, her sobs found a sympa thetic echo. i An officer sprang to Ids feet, and said : “Gentlemen, lie who adds another itistdi to swell the sorrows of that young lady, makes me his foe; and you who hsve mark ed how my sword can drink the blood of wor thy foes, need not to he told that it kuowa how to punish unworthy ones!” “Well done Captain Villier. well done, upon my soul!” said the commanding officer with ft sneer. “You can escort the sister of the rebel spy, hack to her boat, aud inform her, as she goes, that her brother's body shall rot where it lies, and his gallows shall stand as a warning to others who may think to fol low his example.” The chivalrous officer made no reply to this brutal speech, hut the hot blood mantled his cheek and brow, at he led the weeping girl out from among those who seemed io have forgotteu (hut they were born of wo man. .. ‘ As he placed her ic the boat, lie said, iu a gentle tone: “Be lieie an half hour after midnight, lady, and you shall have your brother's body, it I loose my commission for it. 1 aiu officer of the guard, and will meet you a, the laudinig.” Silently the tearful girt kissed tbe hand of the noble man, and then her boatman pushed off, and vowed away. SCENE ill. The midnight hour had come and passed. Darkness slnowded eaitli and water, as with an ebon pall. The officer stood upon the beach, peering out into the darkness, for he heard the dip of pars, and it was the time for that fair girl, whose angel face, all quenched with (ears, had been constantly before him since they had parted Tile boat come, but the young girl was not alone. An aged woman, bowed down with a grief so unutterable that it only spoke’ in cho king sighs—a grief that had dried up even the tear's bitter to the shore; aud when she was met by the officer, whose men bore the disinteied corpse of her murdered soft, she said : *. “The blessings of a lone widow rest on thee and thine forever!?’ “ Lady, I, too, ysn a widows son I” was his reverent reply, and ho kissed her tremEffiug, hand. . Gently they laid the body in the boat, the two sorrowing mourners followed, aud nut upon tlie night-veiled river the boatmen vow ed with their precious prize. The officer turned sadly to the guard-tent, and there, that night, he wrote li s resigna tion in the, British army. Years afler, wlw>n,_ v tlie storm of war had passed, and the sun of peace storied once more-iipon our desc 1 ite land, Captain,—no, Lord Beauchamp Villier*, a single man of immense wealth, came to New London to ask a ‘ter one whose sweet face had long b-e.n the Companion of his dre .ms, waking aud sleep iog—the sister of Na’lihii Hale. They poiu ted-him to a grassy mound in the village bu rying-grouml, which was covered with flow ers. He stood above that holy spot, ami watered those flowers with his teais. EXTRAVAGANCE IN DRESS. Mr. Stilling, in his recently published book of travels in (Tie United States, thus compliments our .Americait ladies on then extravagance in dress: ” The Indies of New Orleans, like their sis ters of New York, are great dressers; in dyed, tlirv- deesuf American woyion gen erally. at least of the new’ rich class, are something fabulous in expense, taking into consideration tlm rank and fortune Os tbe wearers and their husbands. The dresses Os ladies in New Orleans, I am told, (and by New Orleans people.) often equal in richness and expense those of the. crowned heads of Kurope. What do you think of a creole la dy’s dress powdered over with diamonds, hei husband probably a cotton broker 1 Ladies lieiiMliink nothing of expending n large pro portion of the profits of a in a tew dresses. Os course we must sfippost that this is in most cases, done wbJi the knowledge and approval of the husbands.— He works, or speculates, and his wife wears the spot in optma. “ There is so-rtr excuse, or, at least, expla nation of this, to us, astounding extravagance, in the circumstances explained above of American house keeping. Aa a rule, the in habitant of an American city does not keep house. He has no opportunity, therefore, of displaying big wealth, ns onr pdn enue mer chants and manufacturers do, in fiuu houses, plHte and equipages. Neither is there the same passion for lauded estates im America ns with us. With land at five shillings an acre, Its possession cannot confer social dis tinction. The New Y’ork stock-jobber does not lay out <£loo,ooo on land at two per cent, to give him the entre to the houses of lial f a dozen neighbors, who drink his claret and laugh at him. He is making probably fifty, perhaps one hundred per cent, per an num. on his capital, and all this fast gotten gain he can only display to the pn’lic in one way—-by clapping it on Ms wife’s back.— An American's wife is the peg on which ho hangs out his fortune; he dresses her up that men may see bis wealth ; she is a walk ing advertisement of his , importance ;'the ‘‘sandwich ” announces to Broadway or Ca nal street tliht her husband is a man of mo ney and station. All this is very sorry work, but I do not see that it involves any greater absurdity than those displays of plate and uplholstery by which our rich vulgarians an nounce their wealth, and hide their want of real refinement. If a slmm gentility is to be set forth, it matters little whether it be done through the instrumentality of the upholster er or the milliner. The Englishman loves his house, and he decks it out when he makes money j the American loves his wife, and decks her out for want of a bouse. Nei ther h** much to boast of over tbe other; it iathe same vulgar ostentation in different forms.*’ Jjl , v POHTBAIT OF A HUSBAND. One of the go-ahead ladies of this progres sive age, thus writes of her husband to the Boston Olive Branch. It does aesm s pity that such a woman should have been caught in the same net with such s man as this ladv describes her husband to he—lint auch acci dents do happen occasionally. Wo shonld like to have “Solomon’s” opinion of bis wife; Mn. Editor.— ls you could only see my husband, Solomon Still weather! It is my firm conviction he will be the death of me.— I am naturally a happy, bright, energetic, warm hearted, chain-lightening, impulsive woman—born after stages were exploded* and in the days of railroad* and steam en gines. I’ve (lie most capacious heart that ever thumped against a silken bodace; can hate like Lucifer, and love iu proportion, and bo eternally grateful to any one who is kind r to tne. Now, 8-o-l-o-m-o-n is a perpetual calm. Nothing ruffles him, nothing disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius couldn't make him hurry; be does every thing, mercantile and matrimonial, by rule, square and compass. Were the house on fire, he would stop to take tbe lint off his coat, and brush his teeth, before starting. If I ask him a question at breakfast, I never get an Answer till after tea. He walks around the house with a noiseless, velvet tread, like a superannuated pussy cat. Should the children in their play kuock over the tea-table and its contents be looks quietly up from bis book, and spyl, “A-i-n-t y-o-u r-a-t-b-e-r r-u-do, ’ e-h-t-T d-r-e-n I” One summer evening in the country, as lie sat ou the grass smoking a cigar, it occured to me whether any thing short of an earth quake would (tart him op; so I placed along string of crackers behind him and then touch ed them off; and as I atn a living woman, he never so much as winked. Yod should see him getting ready for church, as he pares and polishes his finger-nails, lays every hair on Ids head over its nppropiate bump, sprinkles a drop of cologne on the tiorllf west corner of his pocket-handkerchief, and ties the bow of that cravat for the for -ticth time. I nev er saw S-o-l-o-m-o-n excited. I never heard him laugh; be don’t know the luxury of tears. Now, it I only could get up a domestic squabble! (thunder clonds clear the atmosphere, you know,) bttjits no use, tried to stir him on politics, butJbe’s on the fence, had at leave jump one way as another. I've put on the sulks, and bean dis tant and dignified—l tell yoa he likes it; be sides, you couldn’t freeze him colder than he is. I’ve been loving and petting him; its a waste of omunition, lie cant he thawed out. Its my solemn belief ho was originally inten ded for an old maid, but by some horrid, mis take-lie's my husband, I could double Cape Horn while he oh, when ibacoroner’s jury sits on me won't the verdict be —“ Dieu of excess of still weather/” • .v- 1., .. .... HUNGER AN IMPULSE TO LABOR. Hunger is one of tbe beneficial and terri ble instincts. It it*, indeed, tbe very fire of life, underlying nil impulses to labor, end moving [fun to noble activities by imperious denmiids. -Look where we may, we see it ns the mnlivk power which sets tbe vast array of hummi machinery in action. It is hunger bicli brings these stalwart navvies togetliei .n orderly gangs to cut paths through moon lains, to throw bridges across livers, to inter sect the bind with the greAt iron-ways, which brings city into daily communication with city. Hunger is the overseer of those men electing palaces, prison houses, barracks, an villas. Hunger sits at the loom, which, with stealthy-power, is weaving the wondrous fab tics of cotton and silks. Hunger labors ni the furnace am) the plough, coeicing the na tive ii’dnlcnce of man into strenuous and in cessant activity. Let food he abundant and easy of access, and civilisation becomes impossible; for our higher efforts are depen dent on our low'er impulses in an indissolu ble manner. Nothing hut the necessities of food will force man to bthor, which he hates, and will alwfiys avoid when possible. And although this seems obvious only when ap plied to the laboring classes, it is equally, though less obvious, true when applied to all other classes; for (lie money wc all labor to gain is nothing but food, and the surplus of lood, which will buy other men’s labor. If, ip this sense, hunger is seen to he a benefi cent instinct, in an other sense it is terrible for when its progress is unchecked, it become* a devouring flame, destroying all that is no ble in man, subjugating bis humanity, and making the brute dominant in him, till finally life itself is extinguished. Reside the pic* tnre of tiro activities it inspires, we might also place a picture of the ferocities it invokes. Many an.appalling story might be cited, from that of Ugolino in the famine-tower, to those of wretched shiprecked men and women who have been impelled, by the madness of star vation, to murder their companions that they might feed upon their flesh.— Blackwood. TSAR ALIGHTS. The following which we find in tbe Colum bus Times dt Sentinel,is a matter of do small interest to our horticultural friends, and to the public generally : *f A disease or an iosect too small for microscopic vision,is destroying many of our finest fruit trees and causing some alarm among the cultivators of orchards. For a long time, this disease or destroying insect was confined to a northern climate, but it is now transferred to a southern soil and threatens great destruction- The finest pear trees wither and djfe in a few days. We are informed by oar friend, R. J. Moses, Esq.,’ of tliia city,who has the finest orchards in the country on Esquiline Hill, that the symptoms of decay are first observed at the ends of tbe leaves, which soon turn black and tbe blossoms fade. Its progression is downwards towards tbe roots. It is beyond doubt contagious and spreads rapidly, l'bs best remedy is to lop off the limbs f the tree,when its leaves are being tinctured with blackness or cut the tree down immediafely and barn it, so as to destroy tbe insects.** NUMBER 82. ” MED FALNEBMfW. A correspondent asks ns for information of the family name and coßiiectionojfLord Palmerston, the late British Premier—whe ther Itis title it anew creation, and #byla it not in the House of Lords. -The family, name of Lord r, Tmiirst*si in Henry John Temple. The title of Palmer ston is Viscount Palmerston,is Irish, although Palmerston himself is of a very ancient t?ng- Ikffi family, the same as that of wbiefc’ le Duke of Buckingham is a member in at fe male line. Tbe Buckinglianta retain tbs name of Temple as a part of their compound surname, which is Temple-Nugent-Bndgea- Chaudoa-Grenville. Tbe common nni SM'ti of these families ia a Mr. William Temple, who was secretary to Lord Burleigh jp the time of Queen Elisabeth, but the Temples trace their descent farther baek to the Earl f Chester,and Lady Godlva, the heroineof the old legend of peeping*Tom of Coventry.’ Tbe first dignity of the Immediate aaeee tors of Lord Palmerston was that of Engtsati Baronetcy in the last century. The tit|a of Viscount Palmerston was first conferred upon the grandfather of thrf psbseot Lord. Hals the third Viscount Palmerston. We eamtdt answer tbe inquiry “Whether be bas any in tensive family connection among (he British aristocracy. We rather think that bia ka drod are mostly with the gantry, so called, his relationship with tbe Backingbams being very distant. He married the dowager CotriT tees Cowper, widow of a former Earl and mother of tbe Earl lately deceased, of a eem siderable family besides; but Lord Palmec s!on bas no children. Lady Palmerston fu the sister of the late Lord neboarne.tbe well knows Whig and Reform Premier, who MM in 1848, and is a lady remarkable fur baflffl ant powers of mind and fine address. We have not the date of bu birth at band, bat we believe be was born abont 1784 andls, therefore, about 74 years of age. * “ Lord Palmerston sits in tbe House of Corff mons, as piember for tbe borough of Tiver ton. He is not in the House of Lords km cause his title is Irish and not English. All the members of the five Engliah orders of nobility—dukes, marquises, earls, viscount* and barons—have a right by birth ta sfefh Parliament as peers.
