HOAXlNG.
This game is raging to an alarming
extent throughout our country. Some
Of them too, are alre ady applauded,
and the originator proffered a reward.
We were the other day hoared, as to the
death ofMr. Clay, which is now said to
have been caused by little mischiev-
GUS boy going from Washington to
Baltimore. On Saturday evening last,
at about half past ten o'clock, our po-
pulation was hoaxed as to the election
of President. 1t was generally under
stood that on the receipt of the intelli-
eence of the choice of that officer, one
gun would be fired if Jackson should
be chosen, tsoo if Adams, and so on.
Accordingly all ears. were open, and
the attention of our citizens intensely
engaged to hear the signal that even
ing, it having been minated in one
of the morning papers that it would
be received at that time. When, with
the whole city on topt0e, the report OF

sued for moment, but no more being
heard, the Jackson men flew into the
streets, hurraing and crying "Jackson
forever" sc. Immediately upon this
the bells began to peal merry jig
the slumbering bachelors walked, flew
half dressed, "with boot in one hand
and night cap in the other" to list
the cause of the southland in short
our city was in complete uproar.-
Many sleepless Adamsite had hard
pillow, and if we may be allowed to
Judge, a bed of nettles. The next
morniag Sunday we saw many face
before breakfast that had not snuffed
the morning air for months back till

enquiring, but its no matter what, the
reader can well guess, if .yankee-if NOT
let him reckon. And he will also reck-
on that many long faces were seen on
all sides-the Adamsites downcast,
the Jackson men full of Joy, &c. 1t was
all a hoax, not a word OF intelligence
had arrived.
Our citizens may congratulate them
selves on one point, and that is, that
they are not the only ones hoared, as a
letter from New-York informs that a
bout one O'Clock on Saturday morning
Mr.. Lyons gun which was to be fired
in the same way with the one here, was
heard echoing through the city, and
scene similar to that which our owl
exhibited, followed. About an hour
afterwards Mr.. L. made his appear
ance in the city, and stated that some
person had stolen his gun and fired il
without his knowledge or consent
And so ended that hoax.

THE aAMEsrER.-A TALE.

"And what brought thee hither !!

to the pensive Jessey, as he approached
the door Of her cell) unveil thy face; if
it be as lovely as thy form is elegant,
hard must have been that heart that
wounded thine" Approaching to UNI
veil her,a respectable matron interiered,

that they may hold melancholy converse
with those, on whom she pleases to be-
stow her attention. You, Sir, seem to
attract her regard-speak to her, for
she is not offended" Harry felt his
heart softened ; he asked pardon Of the
bewildered innocent; who told him
with a voice Of inexpressible softness,
cit was granted" at the same time she
turned to table, and opening small
casket,took from thence lock of hair,
and presenting it to her gay, but heart

THE ABANDONED WIFE.-A TALE.
By EMILIus.
A parents rigid jealous eye,
Watched DER sweet Emma's youth;
Asyet she knew no wish no sigh,
Peace of Innocence and truth.
Her gentle heart would ever melt,
When the cry ofwoe was near:
The tear ofsadness soon she felt,
Mingling with the mourner's tear.
Twas oft her dearest, sweetest care,
(Spite of Pleasures gayest form),
To seek the sufferers cot afar,
There the chilly heart to warm.
But all how quick her happy lot
Vas chang'd-she herselfmust mourn;
When loaded with sacred knot,
She, alas, was leIt lOriorn.
But one short year, in truth she knew,
Matrimony's pure delights:
.ah soon they fed as sparkling dew,
When new Sol the morning brights.
Edgar, she how'd as angels love,
Knew no wish save twas his own;
And when the ingrate's heart did rove,
Felt as though on earth alone.
Oft midnight's cherries awful hour,
Dark'ning cold Defenders blast,
Found Emma, as lonely fow'r,
Gazing on the Heavens vast.
She waited now with anxious heart,
Eyes that seem'd to look thro' space;
when Edga, kiss'd, he said, eve part,
Next at eve, to greet, embrace"
Sweet Emma vainly wish'd and wak'd.
(Kind, too kind her watchful care,
Her heart and eyes with sadness ach'd,
Edgar's absence rous'd her fear.
The night was spent in useless VICE.
Morning came without relief:
Faithless Edgar, no more could know,
Nor feel poor Emma's grief.
A wanton's artful winning net,
Trapp'd false Edgar's easy heart;
They now had oft in secret met
Lingering still when time to part.
Suspicion soon was made to wake,
In fair Cora's jealous breast
Her angry brow to Edgar spake
Ere her lips his truth would test.
Her fears she then to Edgar told,
Mildly as her heart would let;
She urg'd his candor to unfold,
All he ne'er had told her yet.
But when of Emma's fate she knew,
Hatred soon did love replace
She said-.thou would'st deceive me Il
''Begone falsest of thy race"
In vain did Edgar pray her list
"Begoue !" still she did repeat
Too late he saw thro' folly's mist,
Emma now he dared not meet.
He wandered meath the starry sky,
Shame'd away from human face:
The deep, rough sea, now met his eye,
There he sought to hide disgrace.
The vital spark was soon no more,
Sundered was the thread of life:
Edgar lay cold upon the shore,
There was found hisinjur'd wife.
She had pursued her Edgars path:
Cold his form she soon descry'd
When grief, as wild as oceans wrath,
Lay her Gfeless by his'side.
