Tell ine, ye winged winds, That round my pathway roar, Do ye not know some spot Where mortals weep no more ?

The loud wind softened to a whisper low, And sighed for pity as it answered 44 Nol" Tell rne, thou mighty deep, Where billows round me plav, Know'st thou some favored spot, Some Island far away, Where weary man may find The bliss for which he sighs? Where sorrow never lives, And friendship never dies?

Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in wo, And a voice sweet, but sad, responded "No'.' 1 Tell me, my secret soul. Oh! tell me, Hope and Faith, Is there no resting [dace From sorrow, sin, and death ? Is there no happy spot, Where mortals may he blessed— Where grief mas* find a balm, And weariness a rest? Faith, Hope and Love—best boons to mor tals given, Wav'd their bright wings, and whispered— yes, in Heaven. SOYG. Come, come, come— O'er the hills, free from care.

THE REWARD OF FALSE PRIDE. A ffoutleman passenger on a steamboat from V w Orleans to Cincinnati, on the trip tip, was introduced to a vounglady on hoard, by a gentleman relation of hers. We ite a brief description of the two. The \ oung lady was charmingly* lovely \ and amiably in her manners ; the gent was wiitv. sentimental, and amusing, his man ners n .hie, Ids figure manly—such an one i as would catch a ladv's eve. Thrown together in each other's society, and mutually attracted, it is not to he vonderotl that they grew quite familiar. They had lete-a-teles on the guards, promenaded the deck arm in arm, the 1 gentleman whispering soft nonsense in the lady's ear. The passengers pronounced it a ease of love at first sight ; the ladies were more respectful to one who they thought was soon to he a matron, and chambermaids (as chambermaids always, do) wailed upon nobody else but tiie bride. ; Miserable prophets-—it was not fated to be ! a match. The boat at length arrived at her desti nation ; the association of the two loving ones was at an end, and thev were obliged to separate. Whispered adieus, with a ' soft entreaty from him, was answered hy her thrusting a card into his hand, and thus they parted, she for her father's marble halls, and he to the East, whither business imperatively called him. The hope of seeing her on his return filled his heart | with joy. Bho made an astounding discovery | shortly after her return home. A friend of hers, who sported mustaches and a goatee, quizzed her unmercifully for los ing her heart to a mechanic who was going to Washington to get a patent for a plough. This was very provoking to her. She protested that she thought him a gentle man or she never would have accepted : his attentions. .Six weeks lied by, and the young me- j chanic was on his return home. 11 is heart hounded with joy as he approached Cincinnati. Visions of grace, beauty and loveliness floated through his brain. Oh ! what pleaure to meet La llelle of the Queen City. Her charms had made a deep i impression on his susceptible heart. His I foot touched the wharf, and away he tied 1 to the mansion of his beloved. He was ushered in and his name announced. The young lady flouted into the room. O. how New Series—Vol. 13. I lovely ! But what is the matter ? She does not know him, bestows no glance of recognition upon the face lit up with pleasure at seeing: !ier again. 1 You do not recollect me,' said he tim • idlv and mortified to think the impression —if one he had made—was so evanescent. • 1 do not, sir,' replied she, in a cold tone and with an air of hauteur such as a tra gic queen affects, lie reminded her of their previous ac quaintance on board the steamer. 4 (>, yes, ves !-—a steamboat acquain tance ! Good morning, sir,' and with this answer she left the room. Her old papa had heard the name of the visiter when announced, but thought his presence would he rnal apropos at their tirst meeting, so the good-natured old gent remained in his room. He knew the real position and standing of his visiter, and hugged himself at the prospect of Julia's marrying the Hon. Mr. , M. C., a ! rich and distinguished gentleman. But moustaches had humbugged Julia; and simply because he was a mechanic, she . had given him an unpardonable insult. The reader may fancy Julia's mortifica tion and father's rage, when they had i a mutual explanation. A THRILLI\fi SCETE, One of the most frightful scenes that the wildest imagination can picture. i= that re lated of a cavern, in Dauphinv, near Ore noble, in France, a sort of subterranean | iagara : According to an old magazine, in which : we find the account, Francis 1., in his youth j determined to explore a sheet of water I within this cavern, which had previously | arrested the attention of all visiters.— Floating upon a barge brilliantlv illumina ted. and attended by some of his bravest | courtiers, the gallant Francis struck boldly j out, the Golumbus of the eavcrned deep, j He landed on the opposite fdtore. after sail ing two miles over this sheet of water. He then turned hi- barge in another direc tion. determined to fathom all the myseries jof the lake. By and by an experienced ; boatman declared the boat was no longer • floating on a stagnant lake, but in a current that was perceptibly increasing in strength; and a courtier called the attention of the monarch to a hollow noise, heard in the distance, which, like the current, was every moment growing stronger, and even swell- I ing into horrific thunder. They rested on their oars, while a plank with several flaming torches tied to it, was committed ito tire water. It floated rapidly away, became agitated, tossed up and down in the distance, and finally plunged down the unknown cataract to which the explorers were so ignorantly hastening. " Back i oars."' was the cr\, and rowing for their lives they escaped. But what a frightful i hazard! Vs? Scores of foxes were caught in the frozen regions by Sir James Ross' expe dition. and turned into " two penny post men,'" by putting copper coll us round their necks, stamped with the names and posi tions of the ships, and the localities of the ; provision depots. These foxes range enor mous distances, and some of them will probably be caught In Sir John Frank lin's party if it still survive. Foxes were turned to a somewhat different account by Sampson in the Old Testament times. .MARKET SCENE. —A would-be fashion- I able lady, dressed in all the colors, goes to market, followed by a negro boy, with a basket. Espying a goose upon a Jersey man's stall, but not taking particular notice of it, she goes up to the farmer, and the following dialogue ensues : Lady.—What's the price of those tur key ? Jersey-man.— Those turkey is a goose, Ma'am. Lady.—W ell, what's the price of it ? Jersey-man.—Seventy-five cents. Lady.—That's too much; I'll give seven le\irs, (87! cents.) Jersey-man.—Well, you may take it for that. It's the lust I've got, and 1 won't haggle about the'price. 4 Miss, will you take my arm ?' • La, yes, and you, too.' 4 Han't spare but the arm. Miss,' hastily replied the old bachelor. • Then, said Miss, 1 can't take it, as my motto is to 4 go the whole lmg or none.' \ot long since, two sailors passing by a tailor's shop, observed a tailor at work with his'waistcoat patched with different ! colors of cloth, when one of the tars cried out to tite oilier, 4 Look ye Jack, did you ever see so many sorts of cabbage grow on one stump before ?' ' F In Kentucky a ploughman became enamored ot a milk-maid on a neighboring farm. His addresses were rejected-; and the disappointed swain, full oi melancholy and revenge, procured a rope, went to the barn and— tied all the cow's tails togeth er 1 " COLD.—Don't suffer with the cold, but nrc , ceed at once to C.
