THE FOUNT.



Tune have loved thee
Oh how swcetly smiles my Mary!
D! how bright her lovely brow
And her checks, that constant vary,
hike the suB, midst Alpine snow.
sYes--she's lovely as the morning,
Wbch docks the Eastern skies,
In tints oflightthe earth adjoining,
When its gIories all arise.
o! she's purcr far than water
Flowing from th 'limpid ST. cam;
o she's Virtues fairest daughter,
Soft as Luna's softest beam.
j could love her-yes for ever!
With fond and faithful heart
And on EARTH forget hernever,
And in. heaven never part.

JUDGE HAYWOOD OF TENNESSEE.

An opinion of his is running the rounds of the
newspapers and every whsre the idea seems to pre-
vail, that it was opinion delivered from the bench
and hence is 1t seized upon as evidence of the
ralgaTity which prevails TO the west. II may not
be amiss to remark having obtained the information
from correct source, that this legal opinion was
given while Judge Haywood was lawyer at the
bar The gentleman who applied to him was also
an attorney, residing in the same county and prac-
tislng in the same circle with Mr.. Haywood. He
replied to his HETEROGENEOUS; and bumorously con
GUIDED that alho' such was his opinion, !" yet the
Judges of this tate are such id fools, cannot
tell how they will decide" 1t was no judicial OPT
MON; but one given in the character ola awyer, and
in private tetter--a mere jeu d'esprit.

become in Europe, that intelligence, (per the last

were compelled to employ laborers to keep them in
