POET 7.7.
The Seasons of Love.
BY GEOUGN. P. MORRIS
The spring time of love
Is both happy and gay,
For joy sprinkles blossoms
Mid balm in our way
The sky, earth, and ocean,
In beauty repnEe.
And all the bright future
Is coulour de rose.
The summer of love
Is the bloom of the heart,
When hill, grove and valley,
Their music impart,
And the pure glow of heaven
Is seen in fond eyes,
As lakes show the rainbow
That's hung in the skies.
The autumn of love
Is the season of cheer,
Life's mild Indian summer,
The smile of the year;
Which comes when the golden
Ripe harvest is stored,
And yields its own blessings,
„Repose mut re warn.
The winter of love
Is the beam that we win,
While the storm howls without,
From the sunshine within,
Love's reign is eternal,
The heart is his throne,
And he has sill seasons
Of life t*,r his

BUSTLES.
Hall beauteous lump! mysterious bustle! say,
Of flesh and blud, of rags, nr In an, or hay
Art thou composed? and dust thou claim
A local situation mid a name?
Say whence thou spreug, and what thy use
or end,
And these I promise with my verse to blend.
Thou art, itaked, the pride of every btlle
Who doth delight at all to cut a swell,
And by that aid secure the utmost honor,
That feathers, rags, or hay, can heap upon
her.
Merrimac Journal.
The absurd custom which has become
50 prevalent of late among the ladies, of
wearing what are not inaptly styled '• bris
tles" (inasmuch as they have cau-eil more
than one young lady to bustle through the
streets, in search of some friendly door
behind which to hide her confusion,) has
frequently placed the adventurous wear
ers in situations the must awkward and
distressing. I can conceive of within , '"
more . annoyaw to the sensibility of a mod.
est young lady than the idea r.t dropping
this appendage during a walk through our
fashionable streets, and yet, no later than
the day before yesterday, this most dis
tressing situation was realized by a young
lady, near Fourth and Chesnut sit eels.—
Ladies appear not to be an are, that their
attempts to improve the tigme, convey to
our minds the idea of •ome detect, the ex
ist‘mce of which, creates a necessity for
a resort to artificial means to imitate per
fection. Corsets and bostles:: what an
idea of proportion those ladies have who
thus disfigure their persons and rob them•
selves of nature's fair proportions. F.
Hail, wondrous age! when nature's perfect
law
Resigns the contest to a bag of straw!
When fashion bold, embracing every whim,
Augments the form where nature fain would
trim ;
And taste, as fickle as the fleeting wind,
Must needs attach an extra lump behind--
W hile youth and beauty, bending 'aeatli the
load,
llttornt s a martyr to the laws de mode.

%V OMAN'S TENDERNESS AND LOVE.— It
has often been remarked that, in sickness,
there is nu hand like a woman's hand, no
heart like a woman's heart—and there is
not. A man's ln east may swell with un
utterable sort ow, and apprehension may
rend his mind ; yet place him by the sick
couch, and in the shadow, rather than light
!of the sad lamp that watches it— let him
have to count over the long, dull hours of
night and wan, alone and sleepless, the
struggle of the gray day% u into the cham
ber of suffering —let him be appointed to
this ministry, even for the sake of the
brother of his heart, or the father of his
being, and his grosser nature, even where
it is moist pet feet, will tire ; his eye will
close, and his spirit grow impatient of the
dreary task; though love and anxiety
remain undiminished, his mind will own
to itself u creeping in of un irresistable
st which, indeed, he may br ashit-
ued of, and aiTti4gle to reject, but which
despite of all his efforts, remains to char

A HUNTING PARTY IN AUSTRIA.--A
letter from an American gentleman in
Austria to a friend in this city, gives the
particulars of a great hunt on one of the
imperial manors. 'lite party was compos
ed of forty gentlemen. and the hunting
continued for three d iy, 25th, 26th, and
27tli November, 1842. The results ot
the t h e p day's sport were as follows : 1
deer; 94 roebucks ; 1186 pheasants;
1570 partridges; 7148 hares ; 1 night
hawk; 1 quad , 4 nesthatchers; 3 squir
rels ; 1 vulture.
This was hunting or, a large scale.—
Our . tick woods.. n h a ve d o ne no thing
equal to it since the clearings began, al
though in truth they have had other things)

Bat we can beat the Austrians in Was -

party sets out fora short excursion to the
prairies between the Mis , :is , ippt and the

A CONTRAST.—Look on this picture :•
"A quiet woman is like a still wind,
which neither chills the body nor blows
dust in the face ; her patience is a virtue
that wins the heart of love, and her wis
dom makes her wit worthy or regard ; she
fears God and flieth sin; sheweth kindness
and loved' peace, her tongue is tied to
discretion, and her heart is the harbor of
goodness ; she is a .umfort in calamity and
io prosperity a companion; she is a turtle
in her love, lamb in her meek 'tees, a saint
in her heart, and au angel in her soul."
And then on this: "An unquiet wo
man is the misery of man, whose demea
nor is not to be described but in extrem
ities; her voice is as the pricking of un
awl, her eyes, the poison of a cocatrice,
her hand, the claw ula crocodile, and her
heart, a cabinet of horror ; the trouble of
reason, arid the abuse of time; her com
mand is must, her reason will, her resolu
lion shall, and her satisfaction so; she
(looks at no law, and thinks of no lord ;
admits no command and keeps no good
miler."
AFFECTING SCENE.—The N. Orleans
Tropic of the 24th says that Judge Can
',lige paid a visit to Larkin, the murderer,
whose sentence of death was recorded
seine days ago. The criminal spoke
freely upon the subject of his awful end,
and desired most earnestly that a on, inter
of the Methodist persuasion might be al
lowed to wait upon him. There was one
liiile trident in his conversation that is
well worthy of record although the senti
ment springs from the breast of one who
has crimsoned his hands in the blood of
a fellow creature. Ile said that his lather •
was dead, but that his mother is now liv

meprosecuting awn ney accidentally spelt
his name improperly, yet he answered to
it. and never corrected the mistake, for
the reason that his mother might never
know 'hat it was her son who had suffered
a Won's death. Thete is somethine hew....

THE YOUTHFUL MIND.--A straw will
make an impression on the virgin snow ;
let it remain hut a short tune, and a horse's
load can hardly penetrate it. So it is
with the youthful mind. A trifling word
may make an impression ol it, but after a
few years, the most powerful appeals may
cease to influence it. Think of this, ye
who have the training Of the infant mind,
and leave •uch impressions thereon as
will be oak for it to carry a mid the follies
and temptations of the world.
There is no widow so utterly widowed
in her circumstances ks she who has a
drunken husband—no orphan so perfectly
desolate as that which has a drunkard for
a father!
To a newepaper, moral admotition is
the nutriment; murders, robberies, &c.,
the pepper; politics, the mtr:tard ; jukes,
the spice ; and cash payments, the savory
and palate-delighting deserts.
If there is a virtuous principle within, ii
will never be necessary to have incentives
to a holy life placed before us. We shall
deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly
before our Maker.
