Oh, whv that scowl ripen ttiy brow,
Thai anger in thine eyrt !
I would nl feel as thou dost now,
For Pern's gohlen prize.
The haiitrh'V sneer, llie lon'rins frown.
That flashin? look of scorn
Brars every charm in darkness down,
And leaves ih heart forlorn.
For aneer's like the siroc's b rcath
Within a female's heait,
Blichts beauty with the stain of death,
" And bids all peace depart
Tours poison in the pnrp'e vein.
To laint the passing bliss t
And spreads around her scutching flame
In bow'rs ef happiness.
When pas-rion's wild, unhailow'd tide.
Comes with a headlong push.
Then farewell to the woman's pride,
And to the maiden's blush.
"It makes demon of the best,"
The lovc!irt of the fair i
And winds arounJ the female breast
The gloomy clouds of care.
The heart that bends unto Iter storm.
That feels her throbbing vein.
The curled lip and smile of scorn.
That look of cold disdain
Will find its friends hut faint snd few,
I'pon this world below :
Will feel neglect's cold, with'ring dew,
Unending it with wo.
Then cast awav that eloomv shade
That now pervades thy fare ;
The flush of antrer there display 'd,
Is but a foul disgrace.
The look of scorn, and curling lip,
The wild, demoniac eye ;
O shun their foul companionship.
And from their presence liy.
Forgiveness comes from heaven above,
'Tis godlike and divine :
There's virtue in the eye of love,
Then be that Tiriue thine.
Then wilt thna always proudly ri:e
Above each trouble here.
While joy will glisten in thine eyes.
And angrr disappear! Annn,

Below wc publish uu important ait
passed by tbc Legislature, aud signed by

should be generally read. Tlie law is a
stringent one, but cntinnt fail to meet with
general favor in tbc community. Tem
perance men arc williug to extend any ad

outlawed and the people protected from
its terrible encroachment?. Tin's law was
demauded by tbe tavern keepers nnd

It is a favorite boast of Americans, that
their government is almost the ohly on?'
in the civilized world, which is not deeply
plunged in debt. So far as tbis boast re
lates to the United States in its federal
capacity, it is well fouuded. ut t-a fir
as it relates to one and thirty Comntnn
wcalths of which the nation is composed,
it is an absolute absurdity, since the ma
jority of these latter re deeply if nnt in
extricably, in debt. We hear tl.is bit ff
braggaJocia so frequently, that it is worth
while to devote a few momenta to show
its folly.
tn England, France, Austria, and all
other consolidated nations, t litre is but one
exchequer to meet every want of govern
ment. Tbere is, consequently, but one
national debt. When we say that Ore at
Britain owes nearly eight hundred millions
of pounds, or four thousand millions of
dollars, the whole story is told. Hut if
we should assert that the entire del t of the
U. States was lc?s than sixty millions,
we should be apt to mislead the reader. ;
For the government, which is what is tech
nically meant by the term United States,
having only circumscribed powerr, i3 not,
and never can be, made liable fur the prin-
cipal share of the expenses of maintaining
! order and dispensing laWamonsthcrconle

Tragedy.
A stranse'aflair occurred at this place tn
Tuesday last, resulting iu the death of a j
man who gave his name as William Dur- j
ham, and stated that his home was in j
Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, j
Tbe circumstances of the case seem to j
warrant the belief that the unfortunate I
man was insane. On the arrival of the !
Sacramento stage at noon, Durham among
others, stopped at the National Hotel, for
dinner : ss he was leaving the house, Mr.
u
Echols the landlord reminded him that he
hud not paid for his meal t Durham
answered that he had no money, but would
pay him when he came again. Mr. Echols
said "that is all right," and Durham went
away. It appears from the evidence that
he proceeded directly 10 the store of New-
man & Co., and asked for a bowie kuife, j
aud upon one beitig shown bitn lis took it : den, innumerable masses appear in the j mix and stir it well. When the vitind is

Durham was pursuing Mr. Echols through

owing to an excessive now ot water, they

account of the present state of the mines,
I would remark that the springi alluded
to are highly saturated with copper, which
are of incalculable value, and have hither-
t suffered to pass away, without appreeia-
ting the enormous loss incurred by not

while at the same time the owner would
run great risk of losing him through the
inattention or mismanagement of those tj
whose care he was committed. We can
