APPEARANCES.
Think not because the eyes are bright,
And smiles are laughing there.
The heart that beats within is light,
Anti free from pain and care;
A blush may tinge the darkest cloud
Ere Sol’s last rays depart,
And underneath the suiiniest smile
May lurk the saddest heart.
Mirtli's sudden gleam may light the check.
Though-joy be far away.
As blossoms oft adorti the trees
That's hastening to decay;
It is but as the varying hue
OfApril’s wayward hours-
A sunbeaiii’s bursting brightly through,
\Vhen all behind are showers.
-\
For there are pangs the sorrowing heart,
\ViII oft in darkness slirouil,
That lurk within the lonely depths
Like lightning in the cloud:
As falls the shadow on the piill,
VVhen bright the sunbeams glare,
\Vhichever way our thoughts are turned,
That darksome shape is there.
Though brightly o'er the hollow check,
The siriile, the laugh may break,
Like hiibbles bursting on the breast
Of Acheron's dark lake;
They are but outward sighs to hide
The deadly pangs we feel.
As o’ertlie lone and mnoldering tower
The rose is taught to steal.

MISCELLANY.
The following is a beautiful passage from
pf Georgclll. It relates to ’NapoIeon’s ill-
flled Rhsstan, campaign, and the disastrous
retreat of his legions :
“But the vaulting ambition of the great
conqueror ovcrshot itself. After his most
arduous and perhaps most trititnpliaiit cam-
paign, undertaken with a profusion ofmilita-
ry resources unexarnpledjiii the annals of
“jar. the ancient capital of the Rtissian em-
pire was in his hands; yet, from the refusal
ofthe enemy to make peace, and the sterility
of the vast surrounding‘ country.‘ the contest
wasbootless to his purpose. He had col-
Iectcd the mightiest army the world ever
saw; from all parts of the continent he had
gathered his forces; every diversity ofblood
and complexion, and tongue, and garb, and
weapon shone along his line; the resources
of whole provinces moved through the king-
dom’_s which his arms held in awe; the ar-
- tillcry of whole citadels traversed the fields;
the cattle on a thousand hills were made the
food of the myriarls whom he pdured into
; the plains of Eastern Europe, where blood
flowed in rivers, and the earth was whitened
with men’s bones. But this gigantic enter-
prise, uniformly successful, was found to
have no object, when it had no longer ati en-
emyto overcome, and the victor in vain sued
to the vanquished for peace. The confla-
;:ration of Moscow in one night began his
discomfiture, which the frostof another night
completed. Upon the pump and circum-

queror of an hundred fields had made him
captive with half his force. All his subse-
quent efforts to regain the power he had lost
never succeeded in countcrvailingthe effects
of that Russian night. The fire of hi-‘ ge-
nius burned, ifpossiblc, brighter than ever.

having got as blue as "Kentucky ketchup”
could make. him, and the cabaret being an
every day resort of his. he sighed for change,
he sought novelty, looked out for some new
state of existence. and finally found it in an
old steamboat boiler that lay on the Levee.
Into it'he introduced his person, and when
inside, thinking it impregnable to any assail-
ing party, he ctit up sundry and divers shipes
in the way of singing and talking to him-
self. As the concave form of his temporary
habitation gave an echo to every thing he
said, the tvatcliman who heard the noise,
fancied there were two Jim Browns instead
of one Jim Brown in the boiler, and Jim
himself was sonicivhat~-puzzled to account for
the phenomenon. “Go ahead, steamboat,”
shouted Brown. “ Go ahead. Sl0i1ml308l.”
responded the echo. “Fire up." it-"Id M1‘-
Brown, and " fire up,” answered the echo.
Charley was a believer in supernatural and
natural spirits, and debated for some time in
his mind whether or not he shotild examine
asked, “ \Vho’s there .7” Jim and Ji'ni"s echo
answered, “ It’s none ofyour business.” “Oh,
there’s a pair of ye there,” says the watch-
man. “No,” says Jim, and his echo en-
dorsed every word he uttered. “No, sir;
I'm of the single cylinder make, two litm-
drcd horse power, with a strong Sl.FbI(€‘.- Pm
a regular burster, and'no mistake.” " You’re
vagrants: come out of that,” said the watch,-
man. “ You’d better get otit yourself. I'll
blow up—l’ll collapse in two minutes,” re-
torted the loafer, who hadl steam enoughrin
at all events to warrant the assertion. Char-.-
Iey finally got Jim Brown out of his hiding
place, but was at a loss to discover where
Jim Brown’s friend could have vanished to.
Jim swore as much as would set a pile of
pine wood on fire, that “he didlnt see no
gem’man there btit himself. “ Well‘ I’m
blotvcd,” said Charley, “if there warn’t no
invisible hindtwidual there with you, the
sympathy that seems to exist between you
and that ere boiler, is the strongest case of
hanitnal magnetistn that Ievcr did see in all
my wast hobserwation.
Jim Brown and Charley were seen mov-
ing along towards the watch house in Ba-
ronne street; what has since become of him

The age for M'arr_t/ing.—Fixed rtiles can-
not be laid down upon the subject,‘ because
years are very uncertain criterons of what
is generally'termed “ age." VVe see persons
who were never young, and are already old
at twenty; while we all recollect the story
of Ninon de l’Enclos, who was young and
made conquests at eighty. The best relative
ages must depend, therefore, upon the dispo-
sition, character, temperament, a1’ld_C0ilSI.ll.tl-
tion of the parties; but, as a general princi-
ple, I would recommend people to marry so
as to grow old and go down hill hand in
hand together. Let not the one get too
much the start of the other—for it is difficult
to say which is attended with the worse con-
sequence—being the old husband of a young
wife, orthe young husband of an old one._—
The old husband may be jealous, in which
case he will certainly "make both parties

may prove so to those who are no longer
either the one or the other. You know the
old French story which has lately been re-
vived in- favor of a gentleman bf literarv

Verdier retnoristrated with her husband for
neglecting so‘dt-serving a wife.’ “llfais,

Pressure of l/ie Sca.—lf apiece of wood
which floats on the water be forced down to
a great depth in the sea, the pressure of the
surrounding’ liquid will be so severe, that
ra quantity of water will‘ be forced into the
pores ofthe wood, and so increase its weiglit
that it will be no longer capable of floating
or rising oti the surface. Hence the timbers
ofships which have foundered in a deep part
of the ocean, never rise again to the surface,
like those which are sunk near the shore.—-
A diver may with impunity plunge to cor-
taiti depths in the sea; but there is a limit
beyond which he could not live under the
pressure to which he is stibject. For the
some reason it is probable that there is a depth
below which fishes cannot live. They have
accordingto I-oshlin-, been caught in a depth
at which they must have sustained a pres-
sure of eighty tons to each square foot ofthe
surface of their bodies.
VVhen we look back on our past lives,
and recollect the many advantages we have
had, and the bad use we have made of them,
the hours we have squandered, and the op-
portunities of improvement we have neglect-
ed; when we imagine what with those ad-
vantages we oug/il to be, and find ourselves
what we are-—what should we resolve ?
Surely to endeavor to be more careful for
the future, if the future be granted us; to
try to make amends for past negligence by
employing every moment we can command

to acquire all the little knowledge that hu

“ Now, although the paramount impor-

is an odd instance illustrating the comical
mistakes which happen from neglecting the
proper position of points.
The. lady of a mariner about to sail on a
distant voyage, sent a note to the clergymai‘i'-
of the parish expressing the following mean-
ing :‘
“ A husband going to sea-, his wife djesires
the prayers of the congregation.” Unfor-
tun-utely, the good mtitifon was not skilled in
punctuation‘, nor had' the minister quick vi-

“ A husband" going to see his wife, desires
the prayers of his c‘ongre'gation'.”

March 6, Mr. Buchanan charges‘ Mr.
Davis with having made ‘false imput'a‘t'i’ons’
with ‘_fl'agit’ous" designs. and ‘pecifliarlly infat-
mous" conduct, in his (Mr. D’s) reply as

Henderson, Mr. Smith of Indiana. Mr.- res-
ten, the_ reporters. and every g‘ent'lema’n who
heard; Mr.»Buc‘han‘an in the first instance,-
should have received the same impressions
from him that Mr. Davis did ?
But any intelligent man who will read
Mr.- Buc.hanan’s speech, as published, will
be satisfied that the d7ri«fi' of the argument is
to-show,-that in order‘ to compete with for-
eign: countries, we‘ must reduce our curren-
cy. pri'c'es,- and wage_s,. down. to the hard mo-
ncy standardt This argument‘ is associatede
with the reasons he gives for the establish-
ment of the Sub-Treasury.
When Mr. Davis concluded his s eec'l’i‘v,-
we were sitting immediately behin - biting.

sive arguments we had heard. lit was re-
plied’ that the argument‘ was unaiiswerable’,
and would be unanswered. We can t‘est’if-‘y
that the published report is a faithful» one;
We conclude, therefore, that it has become’
the policy of the loco focos, whefitlirown in‘
argument, to deny that they ever took the
