PROP0SALS. ny cEzAs {, zsEfs.:=s xs a H:D. asDss FOR PUBLISHING AT LITTLE ROCK. The Seat of Government of Arkansas Te,
 A NEWSPAPER
TO BE CALLED
THE ARKANSAS ADyocATF.


 B T has, for years past, been the opinion os x many persons ofintelIigence, iiyine ;,' different sections of the Territory that inc interests and welfare of Arkansas, wopla be advanced by the establishment of anotb. erpublic paper in this place. With view to the public good, and with, hope, Ian. dabie desire to establish myself in business have determined to commence the puh' lication of a weekly paper, with the abova title, so soon as l can obtain from Cinoin. Inati press, and other necessary materi- ais.
 Disayowing any connection with par. ties, whose infariate zeal, has, for wears been reproach to our country, and has retarded her growth, the Advocate shall hs open to all parties, and devoted to none. Tine Advocate shall be exclusively deyo- ted to the interests of Arkansas; it's col. umns shall be open for the free inyestira. tion and discussion of all subjects connect. ed with, or calculated to promote, the ip. terests of the Territory.
 In politics, repubiicanism is our theme. and, as in Republics, the voice of the ma Iiority is the ruling power, I hold 1t 10 be correct, to submit with dignity to the voice ofthe people. Deprecating, therefore the NlHHCdLlOu dHu duuoE5 IEat nave been, and still are, teeming out against the venerable patriot, who, by an overwhelming majority has been called upon to guide the desti- nies of the nation, will feel bound to par to him that reverence justly his due. Firm l Iy believing, that h all his measures, he 1 will have an eye single to his eountry's good, l shall feel Ii my duty to defend iis ceur5e, until satisfied that he is disposed to sac cqice that cause, in defence of which he has ever been ready to expose his life.
 Living in the Territory from my child hood, l feel welded to its interests; and. under the belief, that the fertility its soil, the salubrity Of it's climate, its mineral treasures, in connection with it's nayigable streams, aaording at all times, communi- cation with New0rleans, require only to be known abroad, to attract an emigra- ton from the neighboring States, sufficient Ily great, speedily to give us an honorable station among the States of the Union, portion of the Advocate will be devoted to typographical and mineraiogioal deseripti- ons of different sections of the country.
 A portion of the Advocate will be devo- ted to religious communications, when fur nished, from all, or any denomination of christians.

FORGETFULNESs.

We parted--friendship dream had cast
 Deep interest OCT the brief farewell, And left upon the shadowy past
 Full many thought on which to dwell. Such thoughts as come in early youta'
 And live in Fellowship with hope; Rohed in the brilliant hues of truth,
 unftted with the world to cope We partea--he vent o'er the sea
 And deeper solitude was mine; Yet there remained in memory,
 For feeling, still a sacred shrine. And thought and hope were offered up
 fiji their etffieTiai essence fled, And disappointment, from the cup,
 In dark iibations poured, instead. We parted-'twas an idle dream
 That thus we e'er should meet again; Forwho that knew man. S heart would deem That 1t cenld long unchanged.remain! fte .siiagiit a foreign cline, aid learned Another language, which expressed To strangers the rich thought that burned Withunqnench'd power within his breast. And soon he better loved to speak
 Tn those new accents than his own, His native tongue seemed cold and weak, To breathe the weakened passions tone. He wandered far, and fingered long,
 And drank so deep of Lethe's stream, That each new feeling grew more strong,
 And all the past was like dream. We meta few glad words were spoken,
 A few glad words exchanged; But friendships first romance was broken, For his had been from me estranged. IIeft 1t alive met no more
 My heart was true, but 1t was proud; Life's early confidence was OCT,
 And hope had set beneath a cloud. We met no more--for neither sought
 To reunite the severed chain Ofsocial intercourse; for naught
 Could ioin It's parted links again. Too much of the wide world had been
 Between LIS for too long a time; And he had looked on many scene,
 The beautiful the and sublime. iind ndd he he had bada themes on which to dwell,
 And memories that were not mine, Which formed a separating spell,
 And drew mystic boundary line. His thoughts were wanderers, & the things Winch bro back friendship $ joys to me, To him were but the spirits wings
 Which bore him Ger the distant sea. For he had seen the evening star
 Glaneing it's rays o'er oceans waves: And marked the moonbe cams from afar, Liz 4iigs1sisttiing the Grecian here's graves. And he had gazed on trees and flowers
 Beneath Italia's sunny skies, And listened, in fair ladies' bowers,
 To genius words and beauty's sighs. His steps had echoed through the halls Ofgrandeur, long left desolate; And he had climbed the crumbling walls, Orop'd perforsa the hingless gate; And unused OCT many an ancient pile,
 Tn ruin still magnificent, Whose histories could the hours beguile With dreams, before to fancy lent. Such reeoll leetions came to him,
 With moon, and stars and summer flow ITS; To me they bring the shadows dim
 Of early and ofhappier hours. 1 would those shadows darker fell--
 For life, with it's best powers to bless, Has but few memories loved as we'll,
 Or welcome as forgetfulness.

A young city flop, in company with some belleS of fashion, was riding in the country Ca pleasuring," when they saw a poor country lad at work by the roads side. Thinking it fine opportunity to show his wit to the damsels, by sporting with the boys ignorance, he thus ac- costed him" Can you inform me MT. Zebedee, how far 1t is to where I am going, and which is the most direct road" Poor Zebby, not at all daunted, but with the most sober, composed face, said:-" you are going to the gallows, 1t IS but short distance; if to the jail it stands but few rods this side. but if only to poverty and disgrace, you are now approaching your journeys end As for the most direct road to either, you are now in it, and cannot miss the way" The dandy dropped his head and drove on.

GROWING A STORY.

Ourreaders are unquestionably aware Chat stories sometimes increase with as tonishing rapidity, and that nnghty growth of the marvellous may, iii 2 short time, arise from an exceedingly small beginning. But ;ts all may not Dc ac- quainted with the precise mode of eul- tare, which will bring them forward with more than the rapidity of cucum- bers in hot-house, we hope they will feel themselves highly obliged to us for endeavomng to enlighten them in thls matter; and to show our disposition to serve them in so important particular, we subjoin the following specimen:
 "Havey youbeard,1 said Mrs. WiggIns, 1ethat Matthew AI AIElA.luzzle and his wife have fallen out?"
 ssNo, l have not said Mrs. Sprig- gins. "WeIl, it's as true asyou're alive" said Mrs. Wiggins, laying her finger be- side her nose i'll token of silence.
 Mrs. Spriggins lost no time in calling upon her neighbor Higgins. sHaye you heard,o said she, ''that Matthew MsMuzzle and his wife had fallen out Of bed?'' sNo, I have not,n replied Mrs. Higgins. Well, it's true as I'm here," returned Mrs. Spriggins, z for l just had it from Mrs. Wiggins. , And she likewise put her finger beside her nose in token that it was not matter for.every body to know.
 Mrs. Higgings went directly to her neighbor Higgins, and before she had fairly recovered breath, began: SshaVe you heard that Matthew M'Muzzle and his wife have fallen out otf t]as aei1st1ose 2, "No, is it possiblem said Mrs. Higgins. "It's as true as draw the breath ol life," said Mrs. Higgins, still panting with exertion, for Mrs. Spriggings told me not two minutes ago that she had just heard it from Mrs. Wiggins.7 Mrs. Higgins went forthwith to see her neighbor Twiggings. She had scarcely seated herself when she said, s'have you heard how that Matthew M'Muzzle and his wife have fallen out of the Chamber Hf1adosD 7'' No! you don't say sop exclaimed Mrs. Twiggins. 4 Yes, it's as true as the book of Gene sis said Mrs. Mrs Higgins, for just heard it from Mrs. Higgins, who got it not two minutes ago from Mrs. Spriggins, who had it a minute before from Mrs. Wig gins."
 Mrs. Twiggins now took her turn and with the advantage of a glib tongue and pair of active feet, soon reported all over town, that Matthew M'Muzzle and his wife had both brofe,s their feeks Q filling out ofa three story 7Oindo7U. And she gave for her authority, her neighboI Mrs. Higgins, who had quoted Mrs. Higgins, who had referred to Mrs. Sprig gins, who had the authority of Mrs, Wiggins, who was said to have been an eye witness of the fact.
