THE BROKEN HEART.

Then came wandering by fragile figure,
Almost like shadow =
Her eyes were dim as if with many tears,
Her cheeks were pale as if with many griefs,
Her step was slow as if in hopelcssness--
And her cold heart lay broken in her bosom
Ye have LOOKED on her form now what read We there.
Inc blossom of hope-or the blight of despair
IS II SICKNESS that maketh the cheek look pale
VI are they the traces of weeping and wall
Ye have look'd on her form what read ye there
The tullness of health--or the relics of care /,
ohe moves like shadow spirit of fear
VT one whose wan essence is not of this sphere
Her cheek was fresh as the rose newly sprung.
When her vision was light, and her bosom was Young;
Ere the pangs of lost love left her quite broken
hearted,
Or the lily its hue to the cheek had impaired
Her eye once was bright as the loveliest star.
Ihat tWlnkles and mods in the blue sea affair."
Ere the fasehood of man had dmm'd it with tears,
And o'erShadow with gloom the youth OF her years!
Her lip was rich as the carnation flower.
That showers its perfume in many bower
Ere the sigh of deceit had breath'd DER its bloom
Or the KISS OF a traitor had finished its doom
Her form was the model of passionate love-
And tine as the sylph ones that futter above
Ere sorrow and sin had dealt with that frame,
Or the hand OF villain had mark d it with shame
Her spirit is broken-her mind is ave lost.
And with many wo hath her bosom been cross'd
She stands on the earth by herself all alone
With no being to love her-and she loving none
She is passing full fast, like beautiful bird,
Whose richly toned notes in each grove could be
heard,
Till an envious sportsman deep woundng its side.
1t never sang more, but faded and died FLoR1zx1

ANNETTE'S SONG.

She approached the edge of the hill, where
there is little platform, from whence the people
Of Honfieur look out for the approach of vessels
Here she stood for some time waving her handkeI
Chief though there was nothing to be seen but twt
Or three flashing boats like mere specks on the DO
som of the ocean :-"When the winter has passeC
AWAY, said she and the trees put on their blossoms
md the swallow comes back over the sea, he will
'eturn."-[ BRAcEBnIDGE HALL.
Haste !--haste-my love--for dark
The stormy wave is heaving,
And chains around thy bark
Are tempest spirits weaving.
They'll drag thee to the cell,
In serpent-like caresses,
Where ocean monsters dwell,
And mermaids curl their tressea
Oh, haste for in the west
Dim, dismal clouds are sailing,
And from the sea-bird's nest
There comes hollow wailing
The bridal wreath of white,
With roses | have braided,
Then come, ere gloom of night
Its loneliness has shaded
He hears me not, but when
The winds no more are chilling,
When trees are green again,
And swallow birds are billing,
He will, when they have flown,
Return, no more to leave US
And garands Of their own
Young Love and Hope shall weave us
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1824-07-31

And fancy rear'd her richest forms,
And Promisd joys tomorrow.
But on the morrow's dawning light,
There came drear, chilling blight,
And sunk the heart in sorrow ALpIN.

The Lady's Hard Case.

How hard is the fortune of all zuoman kind
Forever subjected, forever confined;
Our parents control US until we are wives
Our husbands enslave us the rest of our lives
If fondly we love, yet we dare not reveal,
But secretly languish, compelled to conceal;
Denied every comfort of life to enjoy,
We're sham'd if we're kind, and we're bland if
we're coy,

Miss Graclomi- Our poor little dwarf is dead.
She had been unwell for few days; and ex-
PRED on her way home, after undergoing the
fatigue Of receiving above two hundred visiters
on Thursday last. The frequency of our men
ton ofthis extraordinary being, may have shown
that we felt kindly interest in her welfare and
we are really sorry for her SO early demise. Yet
the great wonder was, that the machinery of
life could have been carried on long in
minute and dlmlnutive form that creature
like this should possess all the physical, moral
and intellectual attributes of perfect humanity
It staggered the inquiring mind to contemplate
her; and one could not help revolving the strange
doubts which arose. Is there here in this pigmy
production of nature, which we can merely say
belongs TO the highest order of creation, respon-
sibility OF action, principle, soul and immortal
ty? The party in whose charge she was, were
attentive to her; and we only regret that the
exhibition was not made less constant and ia
tiguing for so delicate and fragile creature
Singular Effects Of Beauty on a Young Man.
Bishop Dapoy invited one day to dinner, two
cergymen and two ladies: he remarked that
during the whole of the repast, the youngest of
the clergymen had his eyes steadily fixed on one
of the ladies, who was very handsome. The
bishop, after dinner, when the ladies had re-
tired, asked him what he thought of the beauty
he had been looking at The clergyman an
swered &c My Lord, in looking at the lady,
was rejecting that her bea utiful forehead will
one day be covered with wrinkles that the CO
raj of her lips will pass to her eyes, the viyaci-
ty Of which will be extnguished that the ivory
Of her teeth will change to ebony; that to the
roses and lilies of her complexion, the withered
appearance of care will succeed that her fine
soft skin will become dry parchment; that her
agreeable smiles will be converted into grima-
ces and at length she will become the antdote
Of love-" l never should have supposed, said
the bishop, that the sight of fine woman would
have inspired young man with such profound
neditatioDs.

-
OpEssA. May lO.--The following
Is a literal translation of the laConic
Note which the Grand Vizier, Cha
lib Phaca, addressed to Lord Strang-
ford, to complain Of the political con-
duct of England. 1t would be of no
use to add. that at this period the
influence of Lord Strangford at the
Porte must have been very weak.
Since then, however, circumstances
have chasged little in favor of his
Lordship.
Literal Translation Of a Memoran-
dam delivered on April 9. 1924,
by the Grand Vizier, Ghalib Pa
cha, to the first English Drago-
man, L. Berto Pisnani, from his
ExceiIency Lord Strangford:
"The Ambassador, our friend. me-
yer ceases saying to the Sublime
Porte, that the laws Of his country
, do not allow the Court of London TO
prevent the English from aiding the
Greek rebels in making war against
the Musselman, and that it has M
powert to punish these acts Of glaring
injustice. If any person endowed
with less sagacity than our friend.
the Ambassador. had advanced such
an assertion, we should have suppos-
ed it had been done with the ineen-
ton of knowing how far credulity
could extend. 1t is too absurd to
say, that any government whatever,
however administered, and whatever
may be its laws, has not the power
Of preventing its own subjects from
making war according to their own
pleasure, and to violate treaties
which exist between their govern.
ment and another power. The adj
ministration and internal laws OF
England have reference only TO tie
English. The regulations of a State
cannot be quoted as Justification Of
the improper conduct of the subjects
of any State whatever against any O.
Their power; these things must be re-
gulated by international law, which
forms the basis of all relations be-
tween governments and nations, and
not the laws or customs OF any indi-
yidual State. Let US suppose (Which
Gsd forbid) that a part of the sub
iects of Great Britain were in open
rebellion against the King, and that
the subjects of another Sovereign at
neace.. and on friendly terms with
Great Britain, for example, those of
the Sublime Porte. were to send
them publicly snccors OF every de-
scription, ammunition. money, pro.
visions. and effective officers, would
England admit as an excuse for such
conduct, that the Porte had not a
right, or had not the power, to con-
troll the improper conduct OF its sub
jects, because the laws of the coun-
try gave To avery Musselman the
right of making war on all those
who did not profess the same faith {
ri these principles were admitted,
what would be the situation of one
country with regard to another?-
That general peace England pretends
IN have so much at heart, would no
longer depend ON tEasies or on the

RosALIE AND THE ABBOT OF MELRosE.
The Abbot of Melrose came alone,
With crosier, with cowl, and with rosario,
To the tower of the baron of Palmerston,
To shrieye MS lady, bright Resale.
WHY comesh the holy man so late,
In the mist OF night, when the moon is DOWN.
Why entecs he then the postern gate,
Andnot the proud portalo of Palmerston?
IT'S a tale OF shame, for the abbot came
When the baron DO d had on foray gone;
Not to j0n In PRAYER with his lady fair,
But to add to her sins the fonlest one;
For the ladv's mind was to sin inclined.
And tiiat seeming abbot Scottish knight,
Who stole at that hour to his rivals tower,
10 ruin Rosalie the bright.
She waits within her moonlight bower,
OF her lovers foot to hear the fall;
itcomes at PASSIONS softest hour, [call.
And she answered in sighs Sir Tristram's
But Gilpin Horner, who lurked in corner,
The page oEthe knight of Palmerston, Ter,
Had hied to has master, and few. could run fast
With tidings ofshame to the ruthless don;
Who retreated the while from merry Carlisle,
As Howard and Percy came out with their
band,
And fed over the border with rout and disorder
From hjtisg the beeyes OF Northumberland.
There's headless* trunk by the woodland
knoll,
And the raven Is watchingi it from the height,
Ills the knight who took his moonlight stroll
othe bower Of Resale the bright.
There's nun in our lady s house Of wo,
A convent afar in Picardy,
Who, for hours of sin and shame below

To forget in prayer his quiet gone;
In that lowly man, with sorrows bent,

laws ofnations. 1t would he atthe
mercy and caprice Of the passions oil
the peoples. 1t would be supposed
that every thing was done in pre-
serving the appearance OF friendship.
aud each government would think i.
had done It's duty in saying TO its
neighbor. II am your very sincere
& disinterested friend; be contented
With this assurance, and do not be
be dispieased if my subjects go to
cut the threats 0fyours. But does
our friend the Ambassador bclieve us
deprived of common sense, When he
preteniis that his government has not
the power TO exercise just control
over tbs conduct of its subjects I!
The English government had this
power, and hastened to use it when
it was thought necessary TO prevent
English vessels from carrying lit
tie corn to the Turkish garrisons dy-
ing with hunger, and at least rec
koned Oh the humanity OF an old
friend.
The existence of this power was
clearly demonstrated then. and TIE
miserable death Of many Mnssolmen
proves it too we'll. If we are at
peace with England, We have GER
tainly the right to demand that the
Court of London should not permit
its subjects to make war against us.
If the government disapproves OF the
hostile conduct Of its subjects. why
does it not say to them once for all,
" The Porte has been our friend Tor
| ages; we have no complaints to make
| of it; and justice, therefore, requires
it should have no cause to complain
| Of us; it fulfils its treaties, and there
fore we must fulfil ours" Why
! does not the English government use
this language? Why has it never
said one word to the English people
which resembles friendship to us ?
Our friend, the Ambassador, is an
cry that We do not do every thing
which he asks. Can he reasonably
be astonisI,ed at this? He always
| uses words full of friendship for us,
but does he believe that we are igno.
rant Of all the mischief that his cOun-
trymen seek to do us2 How are we
to reconcile his words with their ac-
tions? We cannot in fact, compre.
hent these contradictions. The Sub
lime Poxte asks what it is justified in
asking, and what England is not
justified in refusing, namely. that the
English should be forbidden hence
forward to carry on hostilitics a.
Sainst the Musselmen, either in per,
son or by sending money or ammu-
milton Gas they now do openly and
publicly or by establishing under the
nose of the Ionian government the
centre Of their Vaccinations against
the interests of the Sublime Porte.
1t is clear that the English govern
ment can prevent all this it it will.
and it is time that it should will this.
