_l’.QETRY- '
LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Let us love one another: not long may we stay ;
In this bleak world of mourning some droop while
’tis day, . _ _
Others fade in their noon, and few linger till eve;
Oh! there breaks not it heart but leaves some one to -
grieve;
And the fotidest. the purest, the truest that met,
Have still fotttid the need to forgive and forget:
Then, oh! tho’ the hopes that we nourished decay,
Let us love one another as long as we stay.
There are hearts like the ivy. though all be decayed
That it seem’d to twine fondly in sunlight and shade,
No leaves droop in sadness, still gaily they spread,
Undimm’d midst the blighted. the lonely and dead;
But the mistletoe clings to the oak not in part,
But with leaves closely roitudcd——tlie root in its heart
Exists but to twirte it—inibibe the same dew,
Or to fall with its loved oak, and perish there too.
Thus let’s us love one another, midst sorrows, the
worst,
Uualtered and fund as we loved at the first,
Tho’ the false wing of pleasure may change and
forsake,
And the bright urn of wealth into particles break :
There are some sweet affections no riches can buy,
That cling butstill closer when sorrow draws nigh,
And remain with usyct. tho’ all else pass awny—-
Tlicn, let us love one another as long as we stay.
“‘WI'I1_I'I‘ IS TIIY TREASURE."
\Vhat are thy. treasures I may say,
W'itli fond exultiiigjoy, are mine:
VVliat, as I marked it fade way,
Vl7ould soonest tempt me to repine?
In what choice good liuve I a part,
That lost would leave a bankrupt heart?
I have a brother, sister, friend,
IV hose sweet conimuiiion still I crave;
But life, if not their love will end,
Nor can they keep me from the grave.
My lieart’s best tendrils may not cling
To any frail uncertain thing.
I have it uiothcr: thanks to God!
That such a mother 1?-’er me prayed ;
I love hcr—but I know the sod
Mttst soon upon her fortii be laid.
Grey-headed saint! I coitld not pray
To keep thee from thy crown one day!
I have it wife, a tender wife.
VVho lives and loves for me alone;
My hope ofyouth. my joy oflife,
My daily partner near the Throne;
Brit, ifa nearer place she fill,
I have my own cliiel'Tt'casure still.
I have a Saviour, on whose arm
My faith rejoices to recline;
Nor death. nor wreck of‘ worlds can hrtrm,
Or fright iuy soul, while He is mine.
Be the earth one tomb, the sky one pall,
I am still rich, for Christ is all!

I'm r-ntirr-ly too old to be talked too in such
childish language, and beside-, Mr. Kingston
is to be here at half past eight, there's his
card in the rack now. -
Mrs. Henderson was dumb in astonishment
for a few moments after her womanish
daughter had done spcaliiug, and prompted
by curiosity, she examined the card rack.
and sure enough the coinplimirnts of Mr.
George Kingston were there in old English
letters, on a beautiful embossed card. Mr
George Kingston had just turned his thir-
teenth year, he wore rt stock and flourished
a silver headed cane. Mrs. Henderson
amused he-rselfa short time with the little
emblcm of the children's precocity. when
replacing it in the rack, and seating herself

Yes, mu. when he sent his card this
morning, the message accompanying it was.
that he would be here at that hour.
And for what purpose .7

with Geroge Kingston I suppose.‘
Yes. ma, you know there is always a few
moment’s leisure I’lPl\Vt't‘D the sells, and then
the gentlemen and ladies promenade and
talk about the weather and a thousand pret-

Andgwhat sort of pretty things do you

George Kingston! Ma. it’s Mr. Kingston.
he's as much right to be called Mr. as any
body. He rattaned Henry Cuthberth for
sligthing me in the waltz. and I.don’t like
to her him spoken of disrespectfully.
Highty tighty, Miss Henderson, and so
I suppose we may expect it courtship soon!
Courtship. indeed I we are not so foolish
as to waste time in courtship, I can tell you
madam-and if you must know it. we have
been engaged these two months?
This wasa secret worth knowing, and
Mrs. Henderson as soon as she received the
information. prompted by curiosity. deter-
mined to await the arrival of Mr. Georgi-
Kingston. to see how these youthful lovers
would .di.-mean themselves in her presence.
In due time the little hero was announced,

_could S(‘IIl't‘(‘l_V suppress a smile she remem-
bered that “'l‘hr-y had born engag--d thi-sis
two months ;” truly, thou<__rht site, they will
make a lovely couple, he l/iirtcen and shi-
eleven, and they conversing with as much
interest and freedom as if they both wen-
twenty; she laid her book aside for it mo-
ment, and soberly exclaimi-d—-“Well I
wonder what this world is coming to .7
The little lovers were completely thrown
offthe track of their tete-a-tete. for it was
evident. that the surprise of Hell.-n’s mother
had arisen from their conversation, and her
movement had too much meaning in it for
them to be mistaken. Miss Hollen looked
at her mother with a fearful frown. and Mt-
George Kingston shrugged his shoulders
and looked towards his hat. Discretion on
his part, was doubtless the better part of
valor,
For he that loves and runs away.
May live to love another day.
After he had flourished his silver headed
cane, and pulled his watch from his pocket.
and adjusted his stock and collar, he rose to
take his departure.
Miss Hellen, after saying he need not be
in :1 hurrv, it was not late and so on, seized
up the only light in the room. to illuminate
the dark hall which Mr. Kingston was
necessarily obliged to pass through to reach
the SII't"€'I. door. away they walked, leaving
Mrs. Henderson in total darkness, where she
waited until she was tierd. for the return of
Miss Hellen. with the light, andthen follow-
ed to the door to ascertain what the loving
couple were about, and they being thorough-
ly absorbed in ccstacy of affection. did not
discover that she was looking‘ at them. until
"she had seen Mr. Kingston kiss Miss Ht-It-n
several times-- his arms were about her neck
and she was reclining very affectionately
upon his shoulder, when the eye of the
young sivnin chanced to raise upwards and
encountered the gaze of the astonished moth-
er. It is needless to say that M|'- G*‘0|'.'!¢'
Kingston scamperi-d off at a considerable
gate, and Miss Hellen returned mortified to
the sitting room, where her mother having
reached before her, was waiting with a fine
pair of "cat-o-nine tails.” which she put in
operation to the no little discomfiture of the
young lady’s arrangements. 'I‘he poor child
thought it very hard that she should be so
treated for being in love. and for the kisses
—ivhy she imagine-d they were perfectly in
place. The mother thought otherwise, and
from that time forth Miss I-Iellen was forced
to retire to bed at eight o’clock.
The Clinton (Miss) Gazette. says--"Not

l THRILLING INCIIJENT.
My feelings were very poetical as I walk-
ed towards the village church. I entered.
A popular preacher was holding forth, and
the church was crowded. Several persons
were standing, and I discovered that I must
retain it perpendicular position as every seat
was crowded. I however passed up the
aisle until I gained a position ‘where I could
luive a f=ir view of the faces of nearly all
present. While my feelings were divided
betwr-en the beauties and blessings of the
two worlds, and wrapped in a kind of poeti-
cal devotiou. I detected some glances towards
the ofa most animated character. I need
not describe: the sensation experienced by It
youth when the eyes of a beautiful woruan
rests for it length of time upon his counte-
nance-—and ivlieu he imagines himsi-lf to
be an object of interest to her. I returned
her glances with interest, and threw all the
tcnderness into my eyes which the scene, my
mfdll-'1lI(tl"lS, and the preachers discourse
had inspiri-d in my heart. I doubted not
tb .t the fair young ilauisel possessel kindred
feelings with inysr-lf— that we were drinking
togrther at the fountain of inspiration. Her
glances continue-d—several times our eyes
met. M_v heart. Hlflifld with ruptures. At

[tuned her face towards me. My’ heart
swelled to bur.-ting. I reached the spot
where she stood. She began to speak. and
I took offuiy but as if doing reverence to
an angel. ‘Are you a pe(l(.lltll' .7’ ‘No, my

IRELAND TO HIM IN AMERICA.
DEAR '.\'i~:PHE\v—I have not written to
you since my last before now, because as
we have moved from our former place of
living. I did not know where a letter would
find you; but Inow with pleasure take my
pen to inform you of the melancholy news
of the sudden death of your living uncle
Kilpatrick, who died very suddenly last
\Vf‘(“li', after a lingering illness of five months.
The poor man was in violent convulsions
the whole time of his sickness, laying per-
fectly quiet and speechless, talking incohe-
rcntly and calling for water. I had no op-
portunity of informing you of his death
sooner exceptl had wrote to you by last
post, which went offtwo days before he died,
and then you would have had postageto pay
I am at ltiss to tell you what his death was
occasioned bv. but I fear it was brought on
by his last sickness. for he was never wt-ll
ten days together during the whole time of
his confinement; and I believe he eat too
much ofrabits stuffed with peas and gravy.
or gravy and peas stuffed with rabbits, I
soon as he breathed his last, the doctor gave
over all hopes of his recovery.
I need not tell you any thing about his
age, for you know thatin December next he
would have been twenty five years old lack-
ing ten months. and had he lived till th-n,
he would have been just six months dead.—-
His property devolves to his next kin, who
died some time ago. so that I expect it will
be divided between us; and you know his
property was something considerable, for he
had it fine estate which was sold to pay his
debts, and the remainder he lost on a horse
race; but it was the opinion of every body
at the time. that he would have won the race
had not the horse he ritn against been too
fast for him. I never saw a man (and the
doctors all said so) that observed directions
and took medicine better than he did; he
said he had as lief drink water gruel as
wine if it had the same taste. and would as
soon trike j:il=ip as eat a beef strike if it had
the same relish. But poor soul! he will
never eat or drink more, and you have not
a single living relation in the world except
myself, and your two cousins who were
killed in the last war.
I can’t dwell upon this mournful subject
and shall seal my letter with black sealing,
and put on it your uncle's coat of arms, so I
beg you will not break the seal when you
open the letter: and don’t open it till two or
three days after you receive it. by which

Who was Blannerlzassett ?—This,’ im-
porlant question was supposed to be settled;
but a writer in the Louisville R--gister has
brought it up again by putting forth an ans-
wer very different from those which have
been heretofore accept:-d, He says that
Blanne-rbussett was a native of Ireland: that
his real name was Lewis Carr, and that he
was of a good family. whose influence pro-
curred him an appointment in India. which,
however. he was obliged to throw up at the
end of two years, having a vast propensity
for getting into scrapes with women and
otherwise. A Thence he went to Kingston.

the law, but contrived to make a fortune by
dealings of some kind with the buccanii,-rs

the revolution in thatcountry; but engaging
in an intrigue with a lady of Kingston. he
found it convenient to leave that place in a
hurry, came to the United States and pur-
chased his Island in the Ohio river. It was
on his flight from Kingston that he assumed
the name of Blannerhassett.
This writer allege.-s, moreover that the
b»-autilul and nccomplisbed lady who shared
his romantic-. solitude on the Island was not

his connection with Burr’s project. That

the law, and married. His wedded felicity
was disturbed by the advent of his former

to be still living.
Carr, alias Blnnncrhassett, it is added was
speaker ofthe Bahama House pf Assembly
in l820, but his conduct was bad. he treated
his wife shamefully. was always in pecunia-

and found it convrnii-nt to leave Nassau in
1832. Thence he went toKingstou-——the-nce
to the United St:ites—and died in Philadel-

The writer professes to have derived his
information from the U. S. Vice Consul
at one of the Bahama Islands, who was
Carr’s partner for many years, and had the
story from bimselfand his wift-’s f.tmily.—-

A MAN OF SENSE.
Mr. Burchard, one of the most prominen‘
Liberty man of Western New York. has avow-
ed his intention to vote for Henry Clay. “'6
make the following extract from a letter address-
ed by bim totlie Hamilton Palladium. Many
ofthe honest Abolitionists in New York as well
as in New England, are assuming the position
so ably maintained by Mr. B.
Here is the issue before the American peo-
ple; Polk Texas War and perpetual Sla-
very. or Henry Clay. no Texas. no War.
and Slavery, (at the worst) left as it is.
‘However others may feel, I confess, as an
honest abolitionist and a sincere lover of my
country. and an ardent friend to the union of
these States, I cannot hesitate as to my duty
at the next election. I dare not by any act
of mini-, multiply the chances of Polk’s elec-
lion. and the consequent catastrophe of an-
nexation and war. To throw my vote for
Mr. Birncy would, in my candid opinion,
under existing circumstances. be doing this:
and I feel unwilling to share the responsibil-
ity of such a disastrous result. This then is
my position.
But Henry Clay is a slaveholdenttnd how
it is said, can a true abolitionist consistently
vote for him .7 I have well considered this
objection. and am convinced that this
is not valid in the present attitude of political
affairs. That Mr. Clay holds slaves is a.
thing which I sincerely lament. It consti-
tutes a strong personal objection to the man,
But I do not vote for the man merely. when
I exercise my elective franchise. I look at
the z'ssue—at the great principles involved in
the contest. and when, as in the present case,
Ibelieve that a slaveholder will do anti-
slavery work, or rather. that he will prevent
the consummation of a great pro slavery
scheme. while his opponent is committed to
its determined prosecution. I act in the
strictest consistency with my anti-slavery
principles in giving my vote for that special
reason. . As an Abolitionist. lfeel bound to
make every act. of my life tell in opposition
to the foul system of American slavery.
I am no theorist but a plain man, accus-
tomed to look at things in a practical light.
A man is not to be held as endorsing all
the opinions and practices of a man for whoru
he votes. He decides in view of circum-
stances how he can do most good by his vote
