Tbou’rt beating liencethy roses.
Glad Summer; fare thee well!
Thou’rt singing thy last melodies
In every wood and d_ell:
But in the golden sunset
Oftby latest litigating day,
Oh! tell me o'er this chequered earth
How hast thou passed away?
Brightly, sweet surntncr! brightly
Tltine hours have floatedhy, .
To the joyous birds oftlie woodland boughs——
The rangers of the sky:
And brightly in the forests
’ To the wild deer bounding free-
And brightly midst the garden flowers,
To the happy, murmuring bee. "
But how to" human bosoms. «
With all their hopes and fears; ,-
And thoughts that make them eagle wings
To pierce the unborn years’!
Sweet Summer! to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
Ofthe woods. with all their hopes and leaves.
Andthe blue, rejoicing streams ,
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound;
In sweet, delicious fantasies.
That changed with every sound;
To the sailor on the billows,
In longings wild and vain
For the gushing foams and breezy hills,
And the homes of eaitli again.
And unto inc. glad Summer!
How hast thou flown to me’!
My ehainles- footsteps nought have kept
From thy haunts of song and glee.
Tltnti hast flown in wayward visions,
In memoriesof the Dead—- '
In shadows from a troubled heart,
O’er ii sunny pathway shed;
In brief and stiddon strivings
To fling a weight aside;
‘Midst these, thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died!
But.ohl thou gentle Summer! I
If I greet thy flowers once more,
Bring itie again thy buoyancy,
Wherewiih my soul should soar!
Give me to bail thy sunshine
\Vith song and spirit free;
Or in a purer land than this
May our iiext meeting be!
A LAUGHABLE STORY.
The following is a laughable account of
the misfortunes which betel an American
gentleman upon a visit to a lady in Paris, to‘
twrlating a number of ludicrous and amusing
mistakes upon his entrance in the presence
oftlie lady, be thus proceeds:
The ordinary routine of a French dinner
commenced. A regular series of se_i'vants
appeared each instant; at elbows, inviting us
to partake of a tboustmddiflerent kinds of wine,
under strings of names of which I no more
understood their composition, than they did
g‘rmc.’.-cries. Resolute to avoid all farther op-
portunitics for ‘displaying my predominant
i.rait,'I sat in the most obstinate silence, lay-
ing out to every thing that was offered to inc,
and eating with the inpst devote.-tl application,
till my fair neighbor, tired with my taci-
tttrnity and her own, at length herself began
the conversatioti by inquiring li_otv I_ was
pleased with the opera. I was just raising
a large morselof potatoe to my mouth, and
in or.-,lcr to reply as quickly as possible, _I
'nas‘ily thrust it in, intending to swallow it
as hastily. Heavens! It was‘ as hot as
burning lava. \Vhat could I do I. _ The
l.idy’s eyes were fixed upon me, waiting‘ a
reply to her quvstion. But my mouth was
in a flame. I rolled the burning moisel
hither and thither, rocking my head front side
to side, while my eyes, which, involuntarily,
I had fixed on her, were strained from their
sockets. She regarded my grimaces, ofthe
cause of which she was ignorant, Will] the
expression ofamazenient and surprise, at
which I can laugh now when I think ofit.
‘Monsieur is illl’ at length she gently
and in an anxious tone inquired; Icould
hear no more. My mouth was flaying with
intolerable pain; so, quietly abandoning the
point, opened it to the uttnost and otit dropped
the infernal brand upon my plate. Not the
slightest tendency to visibility ruffled the im-
perturb-able politeness of._ the lady-. She
sootbingly coiidoled with me oti my misfor-
tune, then gradually led the conversation to a
variety of topics, till exerting the magic in-
fluence that true politeness always exercises,
I began to forget even my own blunders.-—
Giatiuall y my cheeks burned less painfully,-
and I could join in the‘ conversation without
the fear that every word I uttered shared the
fate of the action I attempted. I even ven-'
tured to hope, my to congratulate myself,
that the cjatalogue of calamities was complet-
ed for the day.
‘ Let no man call himself happy before
death,’ said Solou,—arid he said wisely. The
Ides of March were not yet over. Before us
stood rt dish — of cauliflower, nicely done in
butter. This I naturally enough took for a
custard pudding, which it sufficiently re-
sembled. Unfortunately my vocabulary was
not extensive enough to embrace all the
technicalities of'gthe‘ table, and when my fair
neighbor inquired if I was fond of corflczir, I
very naturally took it to be the French for
custard pudding, and so high was my pane-
gyric of it that my plate was bountifully In-
den with it. Alas, but one single mouthful
was enough to dispel my illusion. Would
to hen veii that the corfleur had vanished with
it. But that remained bodily, and as Igtized
despondingly on the huge mass that loomed
almost as large and burning as Vesuvius, my
heart died within" me. Ashamed to confess
mymistrike, though I could as readily have
which he bore letters of introduction.» After” i

“
tainotts heap at its base—nnd I shut my eyes
and opened my mouth to inhale as large
masses as ‘I could without stopping to taste it.
But my stomach soon began iutelligibly
enough to intimate its intention to admit no
more of this nauseous stranger beneath its
roof, if not even expelling that which had al-
ready gained an unwelcome admission.
The seriousness of the task I had under-
tflkt-‘n. and the resolution necessary to execute
it. had given an earnestness and rapidity to
my. exertions which appetite could not have in-
SPll'€d.,\vlien my plate having‘ got somewhat
oyerthe edge ofibe tab1e,upon my leaning for-
ward tilted u , 6'. dotvn slidtbe disgusting massy
into into my zip. My baiikercbief, unable to
hear so weigbtyra _load, bent under in its
iurii, and a great pi'0pot‘ti0n of it landed in
thy hat. The plate instantly riglited itself as I
raised my person, and as I glanced my eye’
round the table, and saw that no one noticed
my disaster, I inwzirdly congratulated myself
that the nauseous deception was so i-.apirlly
disposed of. Resolved not to be detected, I
instantly rolled my handkerchief together,
with its remaining contents, and whipped it
into my pocket.
-The dining room was at length deserted
for the drawing room, where coffee and
liquors were served. Meanwhile I had
sought out what I considered it safe hiding
place for my hat, beneath a chair in the din-
ing~ room, for I dare not carry it any longer
in my band, having first thrown in a morsel
of paper to hide the cauliflower, should any
one chance in seeking for his hat to look into
mine.
On my return to the drawing room, I
chanced to be again seated by the lady by
wliotn I had sat at the table. Our conversi-
tiqn was resumed, and we were in the midst
of an animated discussion, when a huge
spider was seen running up her arm. ' _
fTake it off-take it off,’ she exclainied in
a terrified voice.
I‘ was always afraid of spiders; so to
avoid touching him with my hand, I caught
my pocket handkerchief from my pocket and
clasped it _:§“_once upon the miscreant who
was already‘ mounting over her temple with
rapid strides. / Gracious heavens! I had
forgotten the cauliflower which was now
plastered over her face like an emollient poul-
tice, fairly killing the spider, and blinding
an eye.of the la€ly—-while little streamlets of
soft butter glided gently down her neck and
bosom. ‘
' Mon dieul Mon dieul’ exclaimed the as-
tonished fair.
‘Mon dieul’ was re-echoed} from every
person's mouth. '
‘.j'-'fHzrve you; cut your.
one.
‘No! no! the spit;ler——moiisieur is killing
the spider.’ ,
‘ ‘ Wbatquantity ofcntrails l’ ejaculated an
astdnislied Frenchman, unconsciously to liim-'
self.
Well might be be astonished, the spray
oftbe execrablc vegetable had sputtered her
dress from head to -toe. For myself, the mo-
merit the accident occurred, I had tnccliaiii-
cally refurned my bandkercliiefto my pocket,
but its contents remained.
‘ What a monster mus‘. it have been,’ ob-
served a young lady as -she helped to re-
lieve my victim from her cruel situation, ' I
declare Isbould think he had been living on
cauliflower.’
At that moment I felt some one touch me;
and turning, I saw my companion who had
cotiie with me.
‘Look at your pantaloons,’ be whispered.
"Already hulfdend with the confusion and
disaster I had caused, I cast an glance upon
my once white dress and saw at a glance the
horrible extent of my dilemma. I had been
sitting on the fated pocket, and crushed out
the liqtiid butter, and the soft pulp like
vegetable, which had bedaubed and dripped
down them, till it seemed as if it; were ac-
tually dissolving my pantaloons.
Darting from the spot, I sprang to me
place where I had left my bat ; but before I
could reach it, :1 sudden storm of wrath was
heard at the door.
‘ Sa-rl betel sac-r-e l’ the r in the first
syllable being made to roll like a wateltnian’s
rattle, mingled with another epithet and
name that an angr Frenchman never spares,
was heard‘ rising like a fierce tempest with-
out the doors. Suddenly there was a pause;
a gurgling sound, as of one swallowing in-
volunturil-y—aiid the storm of wratli again
brokeout with. redoubled fury. I seized my
hat and opened the door, and the whole mat-
ter was at once_ explained—we had exchang-
ed liats—and there he stood, the soft cauli-
flower gushing down‘ his cheeks, blinding
hand I’ inquired
ears, tvhiskers. Never shall I forget that
spectacle. There he stood astride, like the
Colossus, andstooping gently forward-,» his
eyes forcibly closed, his arms drooping out
from his body, and dripping cauliflower and
butter from every pore.
I staid no longer, but retaining his hat, I
rushed from the‘ house, jumped into a ‘ fiacre,’
and arrived safely borne, heartily resolving,-
that to my latest hour I would never again
deliver a letter of introduction.

dency of the wife’s disposition, much to the
dissatisfaction of the Benedick who strongly
asserted and warmly nssevcr:1tt3d_ that his
\\Vill was law, and that she tie er by any
chance disobeyed any wishor iiijunctiori of
his. " g
‘ Have you ever tried licr temper in that
respect?’ s.tiJ the friend , ‘have you ever
desired her positively not to do any particu-
lar thing? for that is my «point, since you
tell me she never refuses to do wliatevcr you
desire her to do.’
‘No l’ sail the affectionate husband, ‘I
never have found occasion to desire her not
to do any thing, but——’ —
‘ Tliat’s it ! as the old women say,’ cried
the friend, ‘female obedience is priivel by
negatives ; tell her not to do arty particular
thing, give no particular reason why, and s:c
ifshe does not do it.’
‘ Ridiculous l’ said the liusbaii 1.
‘Try l’ said the friend. _
'VVell,’ replied the husband, ‘agreed! we
are both going away for the day; what
proof shall I put her to? what shall I tell
her not to do’! may she not play on her
harp? mus‘. she not sing, or draw’? or, in
fact; tell me what you want me to prohibit
her doing, undl stake my life she does it
not.’ »
‘Oh, nol’ said the friend, ‘drawing and
singing, and playing the harp, are things
which she might abstain from without a
murmur, or, what is more essentiai-1" tothc af-
fair, a wonder ; because she has sung, 6:. play-
cd, and drawn a thousand times; it is an in-
junction not to do something s/re /ias 7tc'z'c7‘
done beforc—tor instance, tell her when we
go, not to climb some p-.trticular bill, for par-
ticular reasons which you do not choose to
give her ; or, by way of cztrryingtlic princi-
ple otit to its fullest extent, want her not to
attcm t to ride on the dog’s back.’ T
‘ Nit)-pturic’s back l’ said the liuslJaiitl.—--
‘Yes,’ replied the friend, 'Ofl‘l.l)0 hack of the
most valuable Newfotmflltlntl dog, the bravest
and fziithfulcst of his bi‘eed.’.
‘ Ride on a dog’s back !’ exclaimed Bene-
dick, ‘how can you be so absurd ‘.1-—as if-’
‘Abl there it is,’ said the fricnzl, ‘ as if-
now, take my word for it, if you issue the in-
junction, without giving her any gi‘e.'tson,
Harriet will break it.’
The most incredulous of men rejoiced at
the idea, which he felicitously ridiculed,
and resolved upon trying the t.-xpcritnent in
order to establish his‘ I-Iarriei’s superiority
ufmind, and his friend’s exceeding-silliness.
He parted from his Harriet, and with ten-
as he said in quitting her.
‘ Harriet, dearcst,_we have seldom been se}‘a'-
rated Sll'lCt)0Ul‘U121l‘I‘l8g€—-I. shall be back soon
—take care of yourself, love—bitt just at-
tend to one thing I am going to say, dear;
don’t try to ride upon l\'cptune’s back while
we are away.’ _
‘ What I’ said the laughing Harriet,‘ ride
upon Neptune——lia, ha, ha! what an odd
idea-‘is’ that all you tvarii tne against ?—
wby, what a ridicttlousnotionl ttliy should
'0u tell me that ’.l \-Vlint nonsense l’
' That, my dear,-’ said the husband, ‘ is a
secret; all I big of you is not to ride upon
Neptune.’ ~ -
‘Ride upon Neptune l’ repeated the lady,
and she laughed again, and they parted.
Vlflieii Bcnedick and his fiieiid returned
to dinner the laughing Eli1I'l'ItI did not as
usual present herself to receive them; there
was a sort of gloom pervading the house;
the foottnan who opened; the door looked
dull; the butler who came into the hall look-
ed as white as his waistcoat ; the ladies’ own
ch.-i‘ fonklncss she clung round his shoulder, .

I-Iis Honor Judge Thompson, at the opeii:
mg of tlicflcourt this moriiirig, proceeded to
deliver the opinion of the court in the matter
of tliettvo writs of liabeas corpus pending‘
before the court. I § _'
The question before the court, relates sim-
ply and solely to the jurisdiction of the dis-
trict court, from which the process has issued,
under which these persons areiiow helditi
custody. I regret 4 exceedingly that the ex,-'
amination and decision of this point, could
not ha.ve been delayed as was suggested by
some of the counsel on Saturday; It involves
many important questions and considerations,
and fiine and careful deliberation are requisite
to ifs proper decision. The courtgcannot but
observe too, that much personal interest and
feeling is enlisted in this matter; and this
being the case, there is greatdanger, that III‘
a proceeding so summary in its .nature as
the writ of hrtbcns corpus, much misurider‘-'
stan:.ii‘ig should exist, of the natureof the
case and of the decisions of the court under
the application’. It was only to preventsucli‘
misappreltension. and that opportunity; might

a scene. '
‘ VVliere is your niistress ‘I’ said Bent-dick.
‘Up stairs, sir,’ said the maid, ‘there is
nothing the matter, SIX‘--l’lt'lllliIlg in the
world, sii'—-only my mistress has had a fall
—-quite a little fall on the wall: in the flower
gai'den—aiid has cut IIt.'I' face tltL‘. least bit in
the world, sir ; all will be well to-iiiorrow.’
‘A fall 2’ said Bencdick.
‘ Humpb !’ said the frieiid.
And tip stairs ran the anxious litisband.
' What has happened?’ exclaimed be,
catching her to his heart, and seeing her
beautiful countenance it little marred—‘ how
did this happen T
Harriet cried and hid her face.
The explanation never came altogether
clearly before the friend of the family ; but
the accident was generally thought to have
arisen from I-1arriet’s having endeavored to
take a ride on Neptune's back.

The court would repeat, that the decision‘
in this niatt'et', should not be understood to’
apply in any respect, to the question of the
right of property in persons or in these per-

reference to any claim of this kind’; which‘
