TIE LOVER TO HIS MISTRESS, ON THE BRIDAL
EVE.

EVE.
ByALApr OF NEWPORT, RI.
II is the tender twilight hour,
And glimmering through yon russell bower,
The dying ligh, is seen,
Giving family golden tinge
To the rich mines that deeply fringe
Its Ia'ices of green.
The mellow whistle still is heard,
Of that same dear familiar bird,
We used to love so we'll;
Fer had known the parting pain
d bliss of meeting thee again.
My own dear Rosabee
Ah Love thou never canst forget
When on the green our hamlet met,
And merry pipes were played;
How from the dance we stole away,
And tremblingly led the way
Toyonder lovely shade.
We reach'd the bower, the moon-beams fell
Full on my lovely Rosabelle,
Making the fair more fair.
Like vines round marble pillars hung,
So round her polish'd neck were Aung
The sunny wreaihs OF hair.
Her angel face was tnrnd aside
The blush Of innoc, nee TO hide,
That DER her features stole.
We ne'er before had been alone.
Nor had ever dared TO own
The love that fill'd my soul.
Oh! tell me why in that strange hour,
Beauty had such mysterious po@er'
For though convsed with fears---
With passion not TO be rerressed.
threw myself upon thy breast,
And told my love in tears;
Thou vert subdned; heard thy sohs--
felt thy bcsom's answering throbs--
Thy tears were mixed with mine.
We knew that every doubt was done
Our hearts had melted into one.
On feelings holy shrine
But when the shock that open threw
Our bosoms, to each others view,
In gentle numbers died
The morn Of love--'twas heaven to trace,
just opening in thy besming face,
In all its blushing pride.
Then, Rosabelle. for memory's sake
Our way to thai same bos ser we'll lake,
That saw loves roscate dawn;
Fer this is Courtship's latest eve,
And the. our bridal wrea'hs we'll weave,
Togrsce the coming morn.
All nature seems our bliss to share.
Spirits Of joy are in the air.
They wave their rainbow wings,
And shed, on his auspiciuos night
glow Of pure Elysisn light,
Ger all created things. ROWENA.

In an action for an assault and battery, il was
deemed proper to ascertain the size Of a certain
stone, with which il was alleged the battery was
committed. For this purpose a witness was called
to the stand, and the following brief report Of his

must have satisfied the jury:
Q. Did you the defendant throw the stone !?
A. saw a stone, and am pretty sure defendant
threw it. Q. Was it q stone OF considerable di.
mensions? A. Why. it was a considerable Of a

Var NeWS!-By the arrival OF the
St. Louis and Catena Packet, from the
Upper Mississippi, on the Sd inst. we
bave received the important intelli-
gence that the Winnebagoes bad refu.
sed to treat with gov Cass al Green
Bay, and that in consequence gov. g.
had written TO gen. Atkinson, inform.

war club had been passed to the Pc
tawottamies, or in other words, that
hat tribe, or a part of them, had join
ed the Winnebagoes 10 hostiIities a.
gainst the United States .-Gov. Cass,
therefore, committed the further man,
agement ofthese savages to gen, AT

du Chen on the 29th, with his CON
mand, consisting Of abou! 600 mentor

he was to be joined by Major Whist
Ter, from Green Bay, with a small
body OF regulars and militia, and 100
Mehomonies. Gen Dodge and ma
jor Whitesides, of Fever River, also
lett that place on the 29th, with about
40 mounted men, destined for the
English Prairie, where it was expect
ed they would fall in with the main
force under gen. Atkinson. The In
dams were in body to the number of
about 400 at the Four Lakes, 40 miles
from the Portage.
On the Sd inst. General Upton, the
agent, convened the Miami Indians at

last Fall, delivered to them goods a
mounting to twenty six thousand two
hundred and fity-nine dollars and forty
seven cents, on behalf of the United

Delaware chief called White Beaver)

During the last week, the masts and

the time necessary for taking in and
stepping such ponderous spars, we have
made the inquiry, and understand, that.
after transporting them to the launch

shears, the time employ ed in raising and
stepping, was as follows:

We further learn, that not the slight
est accident occurred during the arduous
work. The mainmast of the Delaware
weighs upwards OF sixteen tons.
The principal labor thus having been
overcome, we presume, from the ala

that the Delaware will soon be ready to
make a proud exhibition of naval skill
and architecture among the combined
fleets now collecting in the theatre Of

Mann Canak-We are informed,
from an authentic source, that the Mi.
ami Canals now ready to receive water
the whole distance from Abner Enoch's
mill dam, two miles above Middletown,
to the hospital in the City of Cincinna-
ii; a distance of forty-two miles. On
the 9th instant, a canal boat made a re-
turn trip from Hamilton to Middletown,
fourteen miles. On the 9th instant. the
water had progressed to a point about
three miles below Hamilton, and was
then moving at the rate of one mile per
day, over the most gravelly and porous
part Of the canal. Five miles below
Hamilton the canal enters the valley of
Mill Creek; thence it passes through a
section of the country almost the whole
distance to Cincinnati, admirably cal
culated to bold water, and through which
it may be expected TO fill with much
greater rapidity than above.

WIPE YOUR NOSEI

We believe man to be addicted to more
odorous habits than any other creature, and
at the same time he possesses more reason
TO direct, and power to control, and improve
them. There are very few that may be
termed bad habits, of which he is not con-
scious why then continue those we know
of to the annoyance of others, without some
exertion to mend them? A craving appe-
tite, and ignorance of etiquette, may impel
man when at table, to stretch his arm to
the opposite side to help himself, when
there are several idle attendants, or persons
nearer to the object of his wishes, who
could better help him; this is bad habit
which will mend itself, for at some time the
bar of the chair on which he stands, will
break, and stretch him like goose sur la
tGbLe; or he will overturn the gravy, and
do sundry other things, which will operate
as a caution for the future. Many other
reprehensible habits might be mentioned,
but we will turn to our head. Wipe your
nose. Now the nose is very conspicuous
feature-with some, it is light house of
the face-with some, it is snuffed at, and
with others it is blowed at as light
house, it is bad as snuffed at, bad enough !;
but bowed at, without handkerchief, it is
handkerchief, is the grand cause of our
complaint. What is more disgusting, and
nauseatlng, than to behold the operation
performed without handkerchief ?-ob-
serve that man, in handsome suit of black,
or him, with blue coat, and yellow buttons,
the left leg fifteen degrees behind the 9TH
.er, the left hand holding the coat together,
whilst with the finger and thumb of the
right hand, astride his proboscis, he is
blowing, as if he would blow his very brains
out. Some wipe on the hand, then the
hand on the hair, or pantaloons, or on the
chair, or upon you, if in the way. We new
er saw but three, who wore the garb of
woman, thus murder decency-but the
number of men who do it, we dare not say;
my Uncle Toby says the habit is d-nable,
and the Corporal says, they don't do so in
Flanders. The elder Miss Rallypont says
she had rather die an old maid, than marry
a man of such habits--and her sister is get
ting up a society of ladies', to be called the
Pocket Handkerchief Society, for the distri-
button of handkerchief to all those, whose
proboscis is subjected to such nauseating
squeezes.
The jewel, at an old mans nose, glisten-
ing in the sun, on a frosty morning, is res
pectable, and the nose well bedded, on a
soft bandanna, when in skilful hands: is ca
pable Of sounds most trumpet like. Such
appearances, and sounds, are not SO repre-
hensible, but bdrefaced Jloicing is -.
Belching, or as one may say, dragging the
wind out of your stomach by the roots, in a
mans face, or at table, is another execra-
He habit, BOAA
