Lova knoweth ovum body's house,
And every human haunt,
And comes, unbidden, everywhere,
Like people we don't went.
The turnpike roads and little creeks,
Are written whit Love's words,
And you hear his voice like a %emend bricks,
In the lowing of the bards.
He peeps into the teantatees heed,
From his linens Vista's rim,
And the cracking whips of many men

He'll come to his cart in the weary night,
When be 's dreaming of his craft ;
And he'll Boat to his eye in the morning light,
Like Ii men on the river rah.
He hears the sound of the cooper's ads,
And makes him too his dupe,
For he sighs in his ear from the shaving pile,
As he hammers on his hoop.
The little girl, the beardless hey,
Themes that walk or stand,
He will get them all in his mighty arms
Like the grasp of your very hand.
The shoemaker bangs above his bench,
And ponders his shining awl,
For Love is under the hipotone hid,
And a spell ken the well.
It heaves the sole where he drives the pegs,
And speaks in every blew,
'Till the last is dropped from his crafty band,
And his foot hangs bare below.
He blurs the prints which the ahopmen sell,
And intrudes on the latter's trade,

"Mother, don't let them carry me away down
to the dark, cold church-yard, but bury me in the
garden—in the garden, mother I"
Oh, mother ! in von church-yard dread,
Lay not your little one,
Where marble tomb-stones, o'er the dead,
Are shining in the sun.
I know, dear mother ! I most die,
- But let me not go there;
In that sad place I fear to lie,
It is too cold and drear.
In our sweet garden I will rest,
Beneath the orange tree ;
The mocking birds there build their nests,
And she will sing o'er me.
And there, next spring, will mars, too,
Bloom red upon their stalks,
And hyacinth and hearts-ease blue,
Flourish beside the walks.
The church-yard, mother, la too far,
So far from you and home ;
It looks so wild when evening's star
Hangs in heaven's alum doom.
Then promise, mother, near to you
• My little grave shall be;
Where hyacinth and heart/pease blue
Grow by the orange lase.
The dying child could speak no more;
When her lost wish was 101 , 4

Lovimixass.—What constitutes true
loveliness I—Not the polished brow, nor
gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of
fashionable life. A woman may have all
the outward marks of beauty. and vet not
possgss a lovely character. It is the be
nevolent disposition—the kind acts—and
the aristaiu deportment. It is in the
heart where meekness, truth, affection, hu
mility are found—where we look for love
liness, nor do we look in vain. The wo
man who can soothe the aching heart,
smooth the wrinkled brow, alleviate the
anguish of the mind, and pour the balm of
consolation in the wounded breast, po
ceases, in an eminent degree, true loveli
ness of character. She is the real Com
panion ol.tnan, and does the work of an
angel. It is such a character that blesses
with warmth and ennihine, and makuth
earth to resemble the paradise of God.
Sir Walter Snott relates an anecdote of
a man who, for the first time in his life,
had a dish of asparagus set before him, and
who, in his ignorance, commenced eating
the white ends, which certainly meant
the most attractive appearance. A person
sitting near quietly suggested to him that he
would relish the other end of the stalk bet
ter, but the man stammered out the decla
ration that "he had always priyerreif the
white part," and, it is added, to the day of
his death he could never be induced to ac
knowledge his ignorance or partake of the
tender part of this delicious vegetable.--

THE NAPOLEON OF'DITEI, LIST.
Font years ago, when 'Theodore Pnrker,

of introduction for that' be called
on Thomas ,Carlisle, The English soli ,
taire plied the American with innumeta

habits of scout existence on this side of

curiosity concerning the people 01 , the
hstakwoods. 'Parker drew for the other's
amusement, a vivid , sketch of the achieve
ments of Bowie, the ,famotts atoit-dyellist
of Texas, Carlisle listened with sparkling
eyes till the close of the narrative, and then
burst into indentations of involuntary eb.
thusiasm :

"By Hercules'! the man was greater
then Crezar or Cromivell—may, nearly e
qual to Odin or Thor. The Texans ought
to build him ao. altar."
The burning sympathiser with the he
roic in ell its phases, rubbed his hands to
gether, chuckling in an ectacy of savage
glee, and made Parker repeat till story of
bloody anecdotes. Finally, he put the
question—
" But by what miracle could it happen
that the brave fallow escaped the capital
penalty of the law after auch,eountless vi
olations t"
To this interrogatory Parker, as he him
self confessed, could return no satisfactory
answer and as tett thousand readers have
perhaps pondered the same problem with
out conceiving a rational solution, it may
not be uninteresting to explain it briefly,
especially as a clear elucidation can be de
tailed in a few words.
Let it be remembered then, although the

their interpretations often evince direct an
tagonism with the Aida of my. Lord Coke
and the classic comments of Blackstone.

CLEVELAND, Apr3lo: 1850..
Mr DEAR SIR :--In reply to the quee r `

which the Plank Roads, leading intoCleVe

they pass, and on the property. generaflY,
in this city and State, I will slate, that,
owing to the fact that our roads were only
commenced last summer, and have not yet
penetrated inter the interior but a short the
lance, their effect is but imperfectly

the Jines of the road, even beyond the
point to whith they are at prelent finished.
is really wonderful. Property readilyr
changes hamlet ;'people have commenced i&
build in anticipation of the progreas of the
road, and I know of land in large heels,
though the country was compittitivettr

the'iliktion that our three plank reads have'
often&a strong influence towards produ-'
cing the largeiricreare in the value of real

part year throughout our city. Still, the
advantages gained by the conntry, which,'
by-means of:plank roads, is enabled, at in
;times, and in all weather, to send he 'pro
dote to market at less than'one-half the'
ihnal.expense over mud roads and steep
hills, is comparatively greater than to title
lOWns.
It was diflidult here at first, es it is kat

to forward that class of improvements

all vanished, and the subscription list of
