IfilOPE.
Oh, what is hope when sorrow's gloom
Enshrouds the soul in night ?
A flying spectre—magic loom—
Where fancy loves to light,
And weave allurements new and fair,
To lead the trusting to despair !
A broken staff, with cracks unseen,
On which the trembling one doth lean,
And fondly in its strength confide,
To feel• its splinters pierce his side.

Here is a little, golden tress,
Of soli, upbraided hair ;
The all that's left of loveliness,
That once was thought .o fair.
And yet, though time has d mmed its sheen,
Though all beside hat! fled,
I hold it here a link Item .en
The living and the dead.
Yet from this shining ringlet, still,
A mournful memory springs,
That melts my heart, and sends a thrill
Through all its trembling strings.
I think of her, the loved. the wept,
Upon whose forehead fair,
For eighteen years, like sunshine, slept
This golden curl of hair!
Oh sunny tress ! the joyous brow,
Where thou did'st lightly wave,
With all thy sister tresses, now
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is of its bloom bereft,
That eye no mare is gay.
Of all her beauties, thou art left,
A solitary ray !
'Four years have passed, this very Jude,
Since la , t we fondly met ;
- 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,
And to another give the place,
She held within the heart.
Her memory still, within my mind,
Retains its sweetest power ;
It is the perfunte left behind,
To tell us of the flower !
Each Itlos-toto that in morn' is gone,
Bound 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, the prelude to a strain, _
Before the song is sung.
Her liii.. ' twas as a half blown flower,
Closed crc the shades of even ;
Her death, the dawn, the blushing hour,
That ape's the gates of Heaven.
A single tress, bow 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;
NVltos: lips o'ertlowed with song.
Since then I've heard a thousand lays
From lips as sweet as hers,
Yet when I strove to give then praise.
I only gave the'' , te.nra.
LI ~ot near amid the throng,
Where jest and laughter rung,
To hear another sing the song,
That trembled on her tongue.
A single, shining, tress of hair,
To bid such memories start !
But tears arc on its lustre—there,
I lad• it on my heart.
Oh ! when in death's cold aries I sink,
Who then, with gentle care.
Will keep for me a dark brown link,
A ringlet of my hair.

MISCELLANY.
BEAUnEmbLtaisixas.—A recent tray
yeller gives an account that when he was
walking on the beach of Brazil, he over
took a colored woman with a tray on her
head. Being asked what she had to sell,
she lowered the tray, and with reverend
tenderness uncovered it. 'lt was the lifeless
form of her babe, covered with a neat white
robe, with a garland round the head, and
flowers within the little hands that lay
clasped upon its bosom.
"Is that your child,"'said the traveller.
"It was mine a few days ago," she re
plied, " but the Madonna has it for her an
gel now."
- "How beautifully you have laid it out,"
said he.
Site added cheerfully, ''Ah what is that
to the bright wings she wears in heaven."
FIVE MAXIMS TO BE OBSERVED ITHROURII
LIFE.-1. Never regret what is irretrievably
lost. 2. 'Never believe that which seelLs
to be improbablp 3. Never expose your
disappointments to the world. 4. Never
complain of being ill used. 5. Always
speak well of your friends, and of your
enemies speak always good but never e
vil.
Said Torn, "you're a ja4tiss,"to Bob, in a pet,
"As ions-eared a jackass as ever I met."
The following beautiful passage is the conclu
ding portion of an address of the Hon. Mr. Bullit;
. member of Congress from Louisiana, in announ
i elm; to the House the death of senator Barrow:
"Mr. Speaker, the ingenuity of grief
will find means of making his sorrow sweet.
We have sifted the circumstances of Mr.
Barrow's duath, to find a comfort amongst
the ingredients of woe, and friendship may
take refuge in memories that sustain its
faith; but there is a sharper anguish that
will not be cancelled by considerations of
: worldly respect. The last thoughts of
our deceased friend were turned towards
home ; and the name of wife and children
trembled on his lips as he expired. 'chat
home he should never see mote, nor her
who made it happy. I forbear to lift the
veil which screens the solitary mourner
from the public gaze. The sympathies of
kindred, even, seem all too gross for the
sanctuary of buried love. I will leave that
household with the agencies which are
balm to the heart made sore by Providence.
(There is a God whose arm is around the
orphan, and the widow's tears drop in the
hollow of his hand."
A Goon Osc.—The Hon. Andrew Stewart re
cently paid a visit to Lowell, Mass., distinguished
for its Factories. He relates, in a letter to the U
niontown Deitiociat, the following anecdote :
In looking over the pay roll or book,
which I accidentally picked up from the
table, I found on twenty-seven consecutive
pages, containing eight hundred signatures
nearly 'all girls, but a single one that made
a mark or X—all written in a good, many.
of them in an elegant, hand. The clerk
I observed to me that Lord Morpeth, when
' on a visit to this conntry some years ago,
happened to be pregent on pay (lay, and,
with some surprise, enquired, "Whatl do
!your operatives writer "Certainly, sir,"
said the clerk, "Americans all write." Di
rectly there came in a man who made his
mark. ''Ah !" said his lordship, with a
smile, "I thought you said all wrote." "All
14n/erica/to, your lordship—this was an
lEnglishman." Whereupon his lordship
!grinned a ghastly smile."
ANEPDOTE.—'Phis is too good to - be
lost. A quick witted toper went into a
bar-roinn and called for something to
drink in New York.
.:We don't sell liquor,' said the law a
! biding landlord—'We will give you a glass,
land then if you want to buy a cracker we'll
sell it for three cents.'
'Very well,' said the Yankee customer,
Llutnd down your decanter.'
The 'good creature'-was handed down,
and our hero took a stiff horn when turn
; ing around to depart, the unsuspecting
landlord handed him the dish of crackers,
with thewernark, 'you will buy a cracker? ,
'Wall, no, 1 guess not; you sell 'cm too
dear. 1 can get lots on 'em live or s i x
for a cent anywhere else.'
A GOOD PARAPHRASE.—We have heard
that previous to a recent well contested
battle, a young volunteer officer asked
leave of a certain celebrated Major Gener
al to ;TO and see his father, who was on his
death-bed.
•'Go,'' said his commander, smiling sar
castically: "You honor your father and
mother, that Jots• days may be long in the
land."
General Paez, who stepped forth and
saved Venzuela during the late,reyolution
. that ary movement Jo a country, has gone
into retirement, rejecting the honors and e
moluments of office, pod carrying with
' him to the shades of private life the admi
ration of a grateful people. He is styled
the Washington of South America, and,
like his great exemplar, is also called the
Father of his Country.
In the streets of - Leicester one day, Dean
Swift was accosted by a,drunken weaver,
who staggering against his reverence, said,
"I have been spinning it out." Yes,"
said the dean, "1 see yuu have, and you
are reeling it home."
THE NOBLE ADDRESS of La Rochejac
quelin to his soldiers, is one of- the finest
specimens of the laconic :—"lf I advance,
follow me ; if rfall, avenge me'; if f flinch,

LONGEVITV.—One who is- remarkable
for noting the signs of the times, states,
that it is a fact of great notoriety, that
those who aro punctual in their payment
of suhscriptions to newspapers, are a dis
tinguished for vigomf body and mind, and
remarkable for lonelife!

EDUCATIONAL.—From the report ofJES•
SE MILLER, Esq., Superintendent of Com
mon Schools, we learn that the whole
whole number of School Districts in the
State, exclusive of the City and County of
Philadelphia, which have a special system
of their own, during the School Year end
ing the First of June last, was twelve hun
dred and twenty-five, of which one thou
. sand and sixty-seven accepted the provi
sions of the Common School Law, leiiving
one hundred and fifty-eight non-accepting
Districts, nineteen less than in the year
preceding. The number of accepting. Dis
tricts has annually increased ever since
the passage of the law. The annual State
appropriation is $200,000, divided among
the accepting Districts, including Philadel
phia, about fifty cents to each taxable in
habitant.—Fork Republican.
Hisooo OATu--
s.-The inhabitants of the
mountains of Hindus pay little regard to
the distinctions of castes, and to many de
vout practices observed by those 'of the
plains, but they are exceedingly punctilious
in all that regards the sacredness of oxen.
Capt. Kennedy prohibits the public slaugh
ter of these animals in Simla, and the mea
sure tends greatly to facilitate the goodwill
of the mountaineers. The Gangcs water,
on which witnesses are sworn in the courts
of justice, by no means deters them from
perjury ; it is Capt. Kennedy's practice,
therefore, to make witnesses take hold of a
cow's tail and swear by the animal. The
truth is then sure to come out.— Voyage

SOLILOQUV.—Uan't get along so, and
yet doing as much business as 1 did twen- -
ity years ago; Then I saved money—
now I'm spending it—absolutely going
behind-hand every season !, What's the
difficulty ? Profits are reduced, whilst
rents and taxes are increased: What shall
Ido ? It's plain !—I must do more busi
ness—multiply my profits by increasing
the number of my customers. How shall
I get more customers? By giving infor
'nation to a greater number of people and
invitim , b their custom. How ? As other
people do—through the newspapers, cards,
handbills, &c. &c. In short, I must ad
vertise Or quit business. As there is no
remedy I will make a virtue of neeessity.=.

A COLONY OF CoNI/tem.—There are
now in Van Dieman's Land, about 34,000
convicts, males and females, and 27,000
free persons, many of whom are emanci
pated convicts. The male convicts ara
distributed over the island in gangs of 250
to 300 each;. and nearly the same system
is pursued with the females.
DESCENDENTS Or OLIVER CROMWELL IN
THIS COUNTRY.-t 1 writer in the Litch
field Enquirer says that the mother of Oli
ver Cromwell was the "maternal grand
parent of Hon. •W'w. Jones, Lieutenant
Governor of Connecticut colony, who
married Hannah,youngest daughter of Gov.

The philosopher Bias being asked what

FRANKLIN.—The Rochester Printers
have determined to erect a monument over
the rcmaims of Benjamin. Franklin, which
are deposited in the Arch street (Phila.)
burying ground under a plain slab. The
ground belongs to the Friends or Quakers,
and they may object to any ostentatious
monument.

Secrets with girls, like loaded guns with boys,
Are never valued till they make a poise ;
To show how trusted, they their power display;
To show how worthy, they their trust betray;
Like pence in children's pockets, secrets lie
In females' bosoms—they must burn to tly.
