ADDRESS TO HOPE.

Hence! must this heart forever be thy sport
Deceiful shadow of unreal Joy;
promethean rest in solitude I'll court
A rest thou canst not solace or destroy
I'll seek some island of the wintry waste,
Where Silence, list ming from his ancient throne
Starts at the footsteps of his wretched guest,
That break the distant nght-wind's dying moan.
On golden clouds the sun this morning rode,
gazed-to ecsacy intensely given,
As the red waves in living splendor gowed
Beneath the basement of the burning Heaven.
Thy treacherous finger, false dissembler, thine,
First ur'd my bark to dare the dangerous sea,
quafi'd the vision'd bliss thought was mine
And rod the may dance of JOY with thee:
Wild roard the winds, the threat ming skies grew black
Yet thy bland presence evry fear CONTROLLED,
Till one rude ascends the trembling deck
And wrapp'd thy struggling victim in its fold.
Hence must this heart forever be thy sport
Decetful shadow of unreal Joy;
Deep Le'hean rest in solitude I'll court,
rest thou canst not solace destroy,

THEODORE.

Your correspondent THEODORE has drawn you
the character of Clergyman all perfection, and be-
eves it quite possible for human nature TO attain that
desirable end to the degree described in his picture.
think the proof of the possibility would have been
more clearly shown. by drawing character from real
life, if any such there be among the clerical gentle
men Of Theodore's acquaintance, than by selecting
grace from one, virtue from another, and model
ling it according to his own ideas of perfection.
think this resort to patched up character is clear
admission that the thing is altogether creature of the
Imagination, and that if such one ever existed, The
odore has not been SO happy to number him among
his acquaintance. One of the traits in this beau-ide-
al of preacher is that he "neycr felt at liberty to in
VoEe himself his hearers in the may labyrnths of
lncomprehensible doctrinal points, Now, | admit
that the art of preaching will be much improved when
those who undertake the task shall abandon those
knoy points, and exert their powers in recommend
ing the practical duties. But | presume there are
lew congregations that would be content with Pas
rT who would not occasionally mix little of the
SPICE of incomprehensiblty with the spiritual food
which he hands out to his flock. This however, do
not note as fault in Theodore's Clergyman, but

There is another trait, however, against which
must enter my protest. and it is this $" with heart

WoMAN's LOvE-AN EXTRACT.

NOMAN,S LOFE-AN EXTRACT.
With man, love is never passion of such intensity
and sincerity with woman. She is creature Of
sensiby, existing only in the outpourings and SYM
pathies OF her enotons-every earthly blessing will be
sacrificed for her affections. She will leave the sunny
home of her childhood-the protecting roof of her
kndred-forge the counses of her sire, the admonsh
ing voice of her mother, whose bosom her head has
been pllowed-do all that woman can do consistently
with honor-forsake all she has chung to in her girsh
simplicity for years and throw herself into the arms
of the man she idolizes He that would forsake
woman after these testimonies of affection, too gross
villain to be called man. The wrath of heaven
will pursue him-the brand of Cain is upon his brow
and the curse of Judas will rankle at his heart I'm
requited love with is to him a cause of per-
petual msery-other dreams will flow in upon his i'm
agnation-te distractions of business, the meteor of
ambition, the pursuit of wealth, will win him away
from his early nfatuaon. 1t is not thus with woman
Although the may change, and years. long with
ering and lingering years, steal away the from the
cheek Of beauty, the ruins of breaking heart cannot
be aInalgamated- memories of that idle vision can
not be obiterated from the soulshe pines, nerves her
self away with pride, and pines away again, until her
gentle spirit bids adieu to the reacheries of earth.

Back Greek, about p miles from town, was robbed of
his Watch, with gold seals and key quantity of
Watchmaker's tools, and S4,75 in cash. Pursuing

the woods, and making towards him they came up,
and walked in company short distance, when of
them suddenly seized Mr. S., threw him down, and
held him, until the other took his watch and rfed his
pockets. The Robbers then left him and made off

 The Way tO Weahh.-The property acquired by the late Mir. Coutts, the rich Banker, was the produce of a long life of industrious, honest, and strict attention to business; in this, perhaps, he had few e. quals. On one occasion, when gentle- man who had been one of his school fel- lows, came to town, Mir. Coutts invited him to dinner, and large party was aS- sembled to do him honor. The next day the gentleman had some business to trans act at Mir. Coutts' banking house, when there was penny in change due to Mr. Coutts. "Well," said the gentleman, I shall not give you that ''I must have it, '' said Mir. Coutts. "Why," said his aston- ished friend, chow singular is this :! yester- day you gave me dinner which must have cost GlO0, and to-day you will not give me penny P "True," replied Mr. Coutts, "& it is my being rigidly correct with mat ters of business, that enabled me give you a dinner. ."-Her late Majesty, Queen Charlotte, who kept cash with Mir. Coutts, sent. notice that she should withdraw it in three days. Mr. Coutts sent an answer, presenting his humble duty, and assuring her Majesty, 'that to withdraw half a million of money from the house of Thos. Coutts and Go. three hours notice was all that was necessary" It is almost super fuous to add, her Majesty, after this com munication from the principal, did not withdraw her confidence. '.

ANECDOTE OF LOVE.

It is not long since the following extra- ordinary adventure is said to have taken place in one of the districts of Hunga- ry:-
 A number of workmen being engaged in opening communication between two mines, discovered the body of miner, ap- parently about twenty years of age, whose position showed that he had fallena victim to one of those accidents of frequent oc- currence in these subterraneous excava- tions.
 The men remarked that the body seem- ed to have lost nothing of its fexibility and suppleness and the state of perfect preservation, likewise, in which it was found, was attributed, by scientific men, to the effect of the vitriolic water in the mine.
 On being exposed to the air, the body became stiff; but the features and express sion of the face were not changed. Still it could not be recognized, although there was a confused recollection in the neigh borhood respecting the time when the ac- cident occurred, reported through the vil- lage to have been more than half cen- tury ago.
 No farther inquiries, however, were made, and they quietly proceeded to inter the corpse according to the usual forms, when all at once there appeared an old woman, hastening towards the spot as fast as her crutches would carry her. On hear ing the circumstance, she had quilted her bed, where she had been confined during many years, and insisted upon seeing the features of the deceased. Spite of the wrinkles and fixed expression of her coun- tenance, it betrayed uncommon agitation and anxiety, mingled with singular air of satisfaction :; which had in it some- thing almost supernatural and inspired.
 She approached and fixed her eyes upon inc features of the corpse, threw aside the long hair that concealed part of her fore- head, then bursting into tears and piercing cries, she exclaimed, that she had found the body of her lover,t whom she was on the eve of being united sixty years before, when he so suddenly disappeared. When her tears had ceasedts flow, she returned aahanks to heaven for having permitted her once more again to behold the object of her first attachment, adding" Now, in- deed, shall die contented."
 The violence of her feelings was more than her feeble frame could support. The peasants wished to carry her home !; but her mind seemed to have broken the last links that bound it to earth, and she was laid in the same grave with him, from whom she had been so long and strangely separated.

From die Legendary. THE ANNOYER.

BY N. P. WILLIS. Love knoweth every form of air,
 And every shape of earth, A nd comes unbidden every where,
 Like thoughts mysterious birth. The moonlight sea and the sunset sky, Are writer with Loves words, And you hear his voice unceasingly, Like song ln the time of birds. He peeps into the warriors heart
 From the tip of a stepping plume, And the serried spears and the many men May not deny him room. He'll come to his tent in the weary night, And be busy in his dream; And he'll float in his eye in morning light, Like a fay on silver beam. He hears the sound of the hunters gun, And rides on the echo back, And sghs in his ear like stirring leaf And fits in his woodland track. The shades of the wood, and the sheen of the river The cloud, and the open sky,-' He will haunt them all with his subtle quiver, Like the light of your very eye. The fisher hangs over the leaning boat, And ponders the silver sea, For loyeis under the surface hid,
 And spell oi thought has he. He heaves the wave like a bosom sweet, And speaks in the ripple low, Till the bait is gone from the crafty line, And the hook hangs bare below. He blurs the print of the scholars book, And dintrudes in the maiden's prayer, And profanes the cell ofthe holy man, In the shape of the lady fair. In the darkest night, and the bright daylight, In earth, and sea, and sky, In every home of human thought,
 Will love be lurking nigh.
