POETRY.
From the Louisville Journal.
.The Golden Ringlet.
Here is a little golden tress
Of soft, unbraided hair,
The all that's left of loveliness
That once was thought so fair ; " ' ' '
And yet, though titrc has dimm'd its'.sheenj
Though all besides hath fled, - ,. v
I hold it here, a link between w v
My spirit and the dead.
Yes, from this shining ringlet still
A mournful memory springs,
That melts my heart, and sends a drill
Through all its trembling strings.
I think, of her, the loved, tho wept,
Upon whose forehead fair,,. .
For eighteen years, like sunsliinej-.slept; .
This golden curl of hair.
Oh, sunny tress! the joyous brow
Where thou didst lightly wave',
With all thy sister tresses now -
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is of its bloom bereft:-. . ..
That eye no more is gay: - "
Of all her beauties thou are left
A solitary ray. ' .
Four years have passed, this very Junei
Since last we fondly met .J. :
Four years! and yet it seems too soon
To let the heart forget
Too soon to let that lovely face
From our sad thoughts depart, '. ' 5 '
And to another give the place
She held within the heart.
Her memory still within my mind
Retains its sweetest power:
It is the perfume left behind,
To whisper of the flower.
Each blossom, that in moments, gone
Hound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, the look, the tone, .
Of that enchanting girl.
Her step was like an April rain
O'er beds of violets flung;
Her voice a prelude to a strain,
Before the scng is sung;
Her life, it 'twas like a half blown fldweri
Closed ere the shades of even;
Her death the dawn, the blushing hour
That opens the gates of Heaven. '
A single tress! how slight a thing
To sway such magic art,
And. bid each soft remembrance, spring
Like blossoms in the heart !
It leads me back to days of old
To her I loved so long,
Whose locks outshone pellucid gold.
Whose lips o'erflowed with song!
Since then I've heard a thousand lays
, From lips as sweet as hers;
Yet when I strove to give- them praise
I only gave them tears.
I could not bear, amid the throng . .
Where jest and laughter rung;
To hear another sing the song ,
That trembled on lier tongue.
A single shining tress of hair . , , .:
To bid such memories start: , ,
But, tears are on iis lustre there 'J1
I lay it on my heart.
Oh! when in Death's cold arms' I sink,'
Who then, with gentle care, .
Will keep for me a dark brown link
A ringlet of my hair?
A graceless scamp, says the Boston Bee, was
recently heard singing the following :
" When I can shoot my rifle clear;
To pigeons in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to pork and beans;
And live on good pot-pies."
Tho very ingenious discovery of working
glass into a substance resombling tho richest
silk, is now, in London', being brought into ve
ry general operation, and in various ways, such
as gentlemen's waistcoats and stocks, ladies'
dresses, and many other articles of docoration,
in ihe most splendid patterns. It ia superior
even' to silk in flexibility and softness; and the
durabilily of it, a point, however,' of no consid
eration with the haul ton, among whom at pres
ent it exclusively is used is, as a matter of
course, vastly superior.
Perpetual Motion.
A rnanMn New York has recently discovered
perpetual motion. It is' simply this: placing
two scolding women with hobnail shoes be
tween a couple of gigantic loadstones. He
says the nails will attract the heels, and tongues
the heads, and the magnetic influence will be
so. great no mairin his-sober senses will come
wnlmi a mile.-
A Story of Crime and Wo,
Six years ago a wealthy and influential wid
ower of forty-fire named Dr. McC , of
Chelsea, Vt., hired an amiable and beautiful.
girl of eighteen, named Mary T , to as
sume the care of his children and household.
A few months after, they were seen to ride
away together, and in the neit Woodstock paf
per appeared an announcement that they had
been married at that place, by an Episcopal
clergyman. They returned as man and wife,
and have so lived until a short time since, when
Dr. McC dismissed the unfortunate wo
man from his house, alleging that they had nev
er been married! Whether she had been utter
ly deceived by a sham marriage, or had con
sented to a deceit in order to savo herself from
inevitable shame, cannot now be ascertained.
The poor victim, driven in disgrace from the
house in which she had so long been regarded
as a virtuous wife, and thus rendered an outcast
from society, dared not return to her relatives;
she went elsewhere and procured employment;
but the finger of scorn was pointed at her, and
in whatever company, she found herself alone
fallen, loathed and shunned. She could not en
dure this: and returned at length by night to
the house of her destroyer and begged piteous
ly for shelter and protection, declaring that she
had wandered long without food and was starv
ing. At length the door was opened to her,
from a dread of attracting the attention of the
neighborhood. She was fed and turned away,
with strict orders never to show herself there
again. She left: but where could she go All
day she wandered in the woods and ledges ad
jacent; and in the night, iamt ana shivering,
she crept back to the only placo she' could just
ly claim protection, and cried lot a home. She
was repelled; but the noise aroused neighbors,
who insisted that she should be allowed a shel
ter. It was agreed that she might stay that
night, but should leave in the morning, a neigh
bor agreeing lo, take her to her nearest relatives.
"I will go if alive," was the only promise that
could be extorted from her. She went to her
room and the next morning was found in it
dead! Deserted, loathed, despairing, without
a" friend or a hope in the world, the wretched
victim committed suicide!
And yet the world will go on, punishing the
starring thief with rigor, and leaving the wan
ton, deliberate, calculating destroyer of female
innocence and of the peace and happiness of
families, utterly untouched and uncensured by
its laws! How horrible the profanation of tile
name of Justice!
The Report on Rust and Mildew on Wheat,
by a committee of the late quarterly meeting of
our New Jersey Agricultural Society, ascribes
these evils to the loss of sap through the split
ting of the straw, under a hot sun, immediately
after a shower or heavy fog. Two crops were
carefully examined one after a sudden drench
ing shower, and the other after a fog and in
both cases the straw was found bursting under
a hot sun with a snapping noise, in short splits
of a fourth of an inch long, and the sap exuding
in every direction. A day or two after, the
whole field was darkened with rust (in both
cases) and the w"heat of veryliltle value. It does
not appear that these evil3 occur while the
wheat is growing, but only at a late and critical
period of ripening. In one field there were
sdmo trees which sheltered the grain from the
intense rays of the sun, and in those spots it
was uninjured. The Committee concluded that
there is no sure practicable means of security,
and add:
Mildew and riiat, are more common now, than
before the Hessian Fly appeared in this state.
Previous to that time the wheal was sown the
last of August, and the first of September, tiller
ed largely, obtained great strength of roots, and
was but little injured by winter frosts: the effect
of which was to produce strong bright straw,
with but few leaves; the consequence of which
was but littlo mildew and rust.
The fly baring totally cut off the wheat, put
the farmer oh many schemes to meet this ruin
ous enemy. Among tho experiments ineu, ma
nuring high just at seed time, and sowing late
was much dependod ori. But disappointment
frequently followed from mildow or rust. As
early sown wheat produces the strongest straw
and fewest leaves, and not so liablo to be laid
with wet nor so apt to be thrown out of the
ground by winter frosts, these reasons are re
commend U as a preventative to rust.
At what particular time wheat ought to bo
sown, lo escape both fly and rust, is not easy
to settle, but should the fly cease its depreda
tions, early in September say from tho lSth to
the 20th, would be advisable, for the various
reasons assigned above. The late sown wheat
sometimes succeeds under particular cultivation
and soil; still the chances against it are ten to
one.
Job Work.
A Loco member of Congress being asked" by
Whiff, what the Democrats intended to do
with President Tyler now they had got hirii,
very promptly answered: " WE iNTEN;D 'i;6
WORK HIM BY TIIE JOB." ; Tlio answeV
tells the whole story. ' .
Good.
PrenticiJ of the Louisville Journal was late
ly visited fyy a volunteer candidate for the Pres
idency. After some preliminary conversation,
the ''political maniac" stated that he wished to
get tho support of the Journal. ''Why, realty
sir, (replied the editor) we are pledged to gi
for Henry Clay against the world." "dh, I
know that, but if Mr. Clay dies or withdraws
from the canvass, is it not possible' tliat'yoii
will support mcl" "We will think of it; ar
you in. favor of negro suffrage and negro- testi
mony?" "No indeed," he replied. "Then"
said we, "we will support you in preference :i
Van Buren. Have you a negro wife." "Cer
tainly not" ho replied. ,4Theii" said we, "wo
will support you in preference to Col. Johnson.
Have you ever stolen any money?" "Why
bless you, no," he replied. "Then" said we;
"we will support you in preference to Col. Ben
ton. Are you in favor of working for ten cent
a day?" "xNfo indeed," said ho. "Then," said,
we, "we will support ydti iri preference to James?
Buchanan. Are you a natural fool?" "1 flat
ter myself that I am not," he replied. "Then"
said we, "we will support ybii in preference' to

Eloquence s.ii Arkansas; ..
We find the following specimen in a card
published in an Arkansas paper by some' one
who had been charged with hot wishing to cel
ebrate the Fourth of July:
"Shades of Washington, Hancock, and Ethari
Allen! If I have offended; remember the frail
ty of mortals, and be propitious! What! abol
ish that day of days! that day when tho con
centrated wisdom of ages was blazoned forth
on that 'immortal sheet!' that epoch, not only
in American history, but in the history of the
world! that day when thePhcemx spirit of Uni
versal liberty arose up out of the American soii,
and spread her broad pinions never again to be
folded that day, for the celebration of which
I, in my boyhood days, expended the last six
pence to buy fire-crackers! Forbid it's depart
ed shades! Pacific Ocean, thou inkstand of
creation, arid you, ye tall pines of Norway,
crowquills for such n. occasion, aid in expung
ing that resolution! Let Lethean floods roli
over it perpetually, and the raven wing of obliv
ion rest on it forever."
t Cnrran's ingenuity
A farmer, attending a fair with a hundred
pounds in hia pocket, took the precaution of
depositing it in the hands of the landlord of the
public house at which he stopped. Having oc
casion for it shortly afterwards, he resorted to
mine host for the bailment, but the landlord,
too deep for the countryman, wondered what
hundred he meant, and was quite sure no such
surri had ever been lodged in his hands by the
astonished rustic. After ineffectual appeals to
the recollection, and finally to. the honor of
Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curraii for ad
vice. "Have patience, my friend," said the coun
sel; "speak to the landlord civilly, and tell him
you are convinced that you must have left your
money with some other person. Take a friend
with you, and lodge with him another hundred
in the presence of your friend, and come to me."
We must imagine and not commit to paper
the vociferations of the honest dupe at such ad
vice; however, moved by the rhetoric or au
thority of the worthy council, he followed it,
and returned to his legal friend.
"And now, sir, I don t see as I am to be bet
ter off for this, if I get my second hundred
again; but how is that to be done?"
"Go and ask him for it when he is alone "
said the counsel.
"Aye, sir, but asking won't do, I'ze afraid,
without my witness, at any rate."
"Never mind, take my advice," said the
counsel; "do as I bid you, and return lo mc."
I ho farmer returned with his hundred, clad
to find that safe again in his possession.
"Now, sir, 1 suppose I must be content: but
I don'l see as I'm much better off."
"Well, then," said the counsel, "now tako
your friend with you, and ask the landlord for
the Hundred pounds your friend saw you' leave
with him."
Wo need not add that the wily landlord found
that he had been taken off his guard, while our
honest friend whom one would almost wish to
have tried the second time, returned to thank
his counsel oxulimgly, with both hundreds m
his pocket.
