LOVES KISS.

Her hand was in mine-I gazed on bel
eye,
She turned from my glance; but said in 1,
sigh
cts sweet to my heart" saw the light
flush,
As the feeling Of silsnce deep'ned lis blush,
And the mute falling tear, DER her bosom
that stole,
Loves purest Of tokens The gem Of tie soul:
| thought me of Heaven, my dream was
Of bliss,
Till passion imprinted its boliest kiss.
And drank of that tear the balm OF the
bIest;
knelt at her feet-she sank on my breast,
She spoke not--but wept the soft row
am thine"
And the kiss she returned was yet purer th'n
mine.

HoRkID ARRAY.

The Huntsville Alabama Republican, of
June 8, gives the details oil horrid ARRAY
which happened at that place, at sale of
public lands.
"A short time before the sale commenced,
MIR. Rice, a merchant of this town, OF the
firm of Rice and Jones, made an attack up
on Mr.. Clay. planter of Lawrence county.
Each was armed with pistols and dirk
As Mr.. Rice was in the act OF shooting his
adversary, Major William Fleming, OF this
county, who stood near him, with view OF
preventing the injury, knocked the pistol up
with his hand, and accidentally received the
bullet 10 his chin: Rice then attacked Clay
With dirk and gave him several severe
,tabs before Clay could extricate pistol
from his pocket when he discharged a heavy
load of buck-shot against Rice's side: by
this time the parties were separated. MAJ.
F's wound is a most shocking enc; the ball
passed along the Jaw. bone longitudinally,
and fractured it in two places tranversely;
many pieces Of the bone were taken out at
its first dressing, but his surgeon has hopes
of his recovery, though his face will be ber-
ribly dis6gured. Mr.. Rice sincarely regrets
this unintentional injury TO Maj Fleming
Mr.. Clay received several slabs with
dirk, in his side and back. one of which at
the time was supposed to be mortal, but we
are now told he has prospect for recovery.
The cause Of this unhappy affair, as we
understand ii. originated, short time pre-
yious, in trihe, not worth mentioning but
was blown into such fame by mutual in
suits and determinations that nothing but
blood could allay it.
As yet, no steps have been taken for in.
vestigatiDg the subject before judicial tri-
bunal.

That we are suffering, very conside

We are not alone, however, in our en-
barrassments. as the following letter,

so TO soften down some of the bright
tints in the picture which Mr.. Barring
drew, the other night, of the prosperous
condition of all the rest OF the world

mercantile or domestic, continue with

liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF

The English nation, still proud OF their

the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor. =
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this fine copy OF Magma
Charta has been excelled By later specimens
of art, and the fac-similes Of the seals and
signatur tshave made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
and of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainments, also, OF King Johh,
King Henry, and their Barons bold.
Surely the Declaration OF American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charta OF
England and ii the fac smiles OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed it were
published in America, il would serve to gra-
tify curiosity, at least as laudabie as that
which calls for limitations of the correspon-
dents of Junius or Of the arstocracy that
wrested the English Charter from the reluc-
tant monarchs of the day..
We are firmly persuaded that the. more
the principles of our Declaration OF lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as we'll as our own and eve

berry. Such an embellished edition as will
render an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge of
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in family--h
will associate the pleasurable ideas of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction itselt-and familiarize those
principles which form, or ougb to form, the
very bond and cement Of political society,"
