The elections in Virginia for members to the Con- Ventlon 10 amend the constitution of that state are now going on. Among the gentlemen already elected, we perceive the names of James Monroe late President, John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, James Peasants and John Ty- Ter, late Governors, Littleton w. Tazewe, Charles fenton Mercer, P.P. Barbour, John Randolph, Wm. C. Rlves Chapman Johnson, Hugh Nelson, and ma ny,others " not unknown to fame."
 '" Ihe Ira1elLing Cabinet."-We learn through the Washington papers, that the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Branch, is tour through his native state that MT. lngham has gone business into Pennsylvania; that Mir. Van Buren is shortly to leave Washington for New-York; that Mr. Attorney General Berrien will ere long take trip into New Jersey for the pur- pose of delivering speech before collection of youths at of their seminares; and that the Pres- dent hmselfs to make visit to the Universal Yan- kee nation to show us natives his wonderfully elon- gated countenance. Now all this may be very wel--- and certainly not disposed to find fault with it -the gentlemen doubtless require relaxation having been in office than too months, and in the mean time diligently employed in cleansing the "augean stabIe." But last year, when business called Mr.. Clay 10 his native west when Mir. Southard visited his friends in New-Jersey, and the presence of Mir. Adams required to settle some domestic affairs in Massachusetsthen the Jackson presses set up pro- digious cry about the ravelng cabinet;" that they were employed in eectioneering; and that their bu- sness in Washington must necessarily be neglected. Now, how mute is " the party!''

TO A BELOVED YOUNG FRIEND.

BY THE ETRICK SHEPHERD.
Oh, the last look is hard to bear
Even of stock, or old gray stone,
Or any thing TO childhood dear
Which memory loves TO dwell upon.
But fond affection never proved
So thrilling, so severe pam,
As looking on a face beloved
We know we meier can see again.
Then, Mary, when with hasty gaze
saw thine eye bewilder'd roam,
For the last time, DER Yarrow's braes,
And thy dear knsman's happy home.
/ fell pang-it was not grief,
But something language never bore,
From which the soul found no relief
Child of darkling world before
A lightning flash, lurid CLEAN
Der pillows of darksome sea;
A momentary feverish dream
Of time and of eternity
Woe to the guleful tongue that bred
This disappointment and this pain
Cold hearted villainl on his head
A poets Madison remain:
Nov thou has left the forest glade,
BY sorrows deep TO thee endeared,
Where more beloved was never maid,
MOI maiden's feelings more revered.
And o, may blessings thee abide,
Delights unbounded and untold,
Where Indus rolls his sluggish tide
0'er glowing gems and sands of gold.
And Indian oceans wait the breeze
OF renovated health to thee,
And colours of Arabia please
Thy every sense from bower and tree.
And long as beats this kindred heart
M love shall be as il hath BEEN
There shalt thou occupy thy part
Though half the world be us between

TO THE GIRLS.

Sweet girls, shall tell you the way to get married
yes, to be sure sir, methnks you excaim;
IT'S way confess that our wishes are carried;
And why not pray where is the wonder or blame?
Lovely dears neither wonder blame need alright ye,
IT'S the right of your and all TO love man
Who was born TO protect-no to injure or slight ye,
And therefore, get married as soon as you can
And yet shall tell you the way TO allure him.
Then give up some whins, little fancies and airs;
Lay your bathooks with if you hope to him,
And spread not too freely, your wies and your snares
Those rosy ips-how Transporting to kiss them
Those lips for triles too frequently pou,
And your eyes, like twin diamonds-ay kind heaven bless
them
Those eyes-and you know itcan frown without doubt.
Then your tonguespretty talk endearng
0 yes and can sing too, whatever you please;
Let beg you to keep them sometimes out of hearing,
And yield not too much to your power to tease.
Sweetest creature remember-to keep him in feers
The who adores you must and then rule,
For though TO your beauty and charms Debtors
Contradiction and strife, will the warmest love COOL
Well then-you may say--Mr Censor pray tell us
What else you would wish us in to do,
What else why, III tell YOU but be not too Jealous,
The task is most easy-yes easy for you
Let smiles and good humor be about you,
And be not by hattery carried away,
Do this, and proud man-no he can't live without you,

THE MARINERS GRAVE.


BY JOHN MALCOM, EoRs
The winds had ceased-the moaning wave
Gave up its dead unto the shore,
To. sleep within ealmer grave,
Where storms can reach no more.
Unfelt by harm the summer day,
And winter night may glide away;
And suns and seasons vainly roll
Above this dark and final goal.
The stranger, of land unknown;
His name, his place of birth untold;
He rests where no recording stone
His story may unfold.
Where but the hollow sounding surge
Howls to the wind his ceaseless dirge;
And sea-fowl, DER his grave that sail,
Shrek forth a wild, funereal wall.
Perchance. husband and sire!
For him, his long-expectant mate
Hath fondy trimmed her evening fire,
And kept her vigs late:-
And taught her babes, with pious care,
To bear upon their infant prayer,
Al rise of dawn and fall of day,
Their absent father, far away
Perchance, while oceans wastes he ranged,
And native shades, in dreams, were near,
And loves rewarding hour,--he changed
The bridal for the bier!
While she, the widowed and unwed,-
The pale betrothed of the dead
Long watched his bark that from the main
Meier reared her cloud of sail again
But where he sleeps no mourners grieve,
No tribute TO his tomb is given,-
No signs, except the signs of woe,-
No tears, but those of heaven
Unt 81 So
That towers beneath temples dome,
Is his-the nameless strangers grave,
Here, by the Understanding wave.

PASSION.

How terrible is passion how reason
Falls down before it! whilst the tortured frame
Like a ship dash'd by fierce encounterng tides
And of her pilot spol'd, drives round and round,
The sport of wind and wave. Barford
Our passions always fatal counsel give;
Through fallacious glass wrongs appear,
Still greater than they are, Higgons
