IVA poor fellow i'll Georgia, who has the mis-
fortune to be paired, but not natched," in the
matrimonial yoke thus feelingly informs the pub
lie of the great change which his opinion has
undergone with regard to the sex, since he had
the fortune to be converted from signing lover
to wretched husband. He thus commences,
Il was once ready to exclaim with the poet
Campbell:
Without the smiles from partial beauty won,
Oh, what were man! A world without sun.
And married my present wife Elizabeth. We
lived together as we should have done for some
time, when she began to be ObStropOiOuS, so
much so, that soon convinced of the truth
of this couplet of Byron's:
Oh, woman, woman whether lean or fat,
In face an angel but i'll heart cat!
Marriage has made downright savage of the
fellow; who, if the other side of the question
could be heard. would doubtless be made to ap-
pear the original author of all tho 90 obStropo-
lous' doings which have led Ito the heart burn
ngs between himself and his better haIf: and
which finally induced the fair Elizabeth to de-
sert the 80 bed and board" of her " mated lord -
The luckless pair may console themselves by an
application of the following lines from poet,
(Young) whom all hypochondracs and melan-
choly mad people ought heartily to eschew;
/" Pleasures are few, and fewer we enjoy;
" Pleasure, like quicksilver, is bright and coy
% We strive to grasp it with our utmost skill,
/" Still it eludes us, and il glitters still;
" If seized at last, compute your mighty gains
" What is it, but rank poison in your veins ?"

THE NEW SUBSTANCE BRoMINE IN THF
SALT OE KANHAWA COUNTY.

. Some time since specimens of salt, salt
water,and blttern were sent to the laboratory
of this institution by Judge Summers with
request that they might be submitted
to analysis.-The most important fact re-
sulting from this investigation is, that the
Professor of Chemistry has discovered the
existence Of the new and very rare ele-
mentary body bromine in all the specimens.
From the bittern it has been separated in
considerable quantity without any further
concentration of the fluid, and there is every
reason to believe that it might thus be pro-
ftably prepared for sale. The bromine was
obtained from the bittern by first passing a
stream of chlorine gas through the fluid,
and then adding ether, which rapidly dis
solves this elementary body, and at the same
time separates from, and rises to the top of
the other fluid but it is so abundant that
even nitric acid may be employed to exh-
bit it.-Brornine has not been known TO
chemists longer than between three or four
years, and was discovered by NJ. Ballard of
Montpelier, who gave it the name of mm'ide.
1t is not necessary to noticeits properties far
Their than TO observe that it bears an aston
ishing resemblance to the well known sub
stance chlorine. Like this body it not only
destroys vegetable colors but bleaches with
the greatest facility, and no doubt may be
also employed as dlsiniccting agent.--This
close coincidence Of properties and com.
binations has unquestionably hitherto op
posed the discovery of bromine, for in the
steps of an ordinary analysis it may easill
be mistaken for chlorine. 1t is hoped tina
the proprietor Of the Kanhawa salt work
will forward sufficient quantity of tn
biuern to enable Professor Emmet to as
certain the amount of bromine present

PERICLES AND ASPASIA.
By CRoLY.

This was the ruler Of the land,
When Athens was the land of fame
This was the light that led the band,
When each was like living flame
The centre of earth's noblcst ring,
OF more than men, the more than king
Yet not by fetter, nor by spear,
Ills sovereignty was held OF won;
Fear'd-but alone as freemen fear;
Lovd-but as freemen love alone
Ilc wav'd his sceptre DER his kind,
iiy Natures first great title-Mind
Feslstiess words were on his tongue
Thee Eloqneuce first flashed below!
Full arn'd to life the porteDt sprung,
Minerva, from the Thnnderer's brow
And his the sole, the sacred hand
That shook her Bgis DER the land
and thron'd immortal by his side,
a woman sits with eye sublime
Aspasia, all his spirits bride
Bot if their solemn love were crime,
Pity the Beauty and the Sage
Their crime was in their darken'd Ago.

broke out about half past IL o'clock in
Custom House street, in the rear of the
house formerly belonging to, and occu-
pied by Mr.. Flood. The wind at the
time was blowing very fresh and strong
from the northwest, and so rapid was the

hours, about one third Of the whole square
was consumed. The loss is very con-
siderable, but to what amount is not yet
ascertained. lib.

INTEMPERANCE.

lNIEMPERANCE.
1 saw mid lowering shades cottage home,
Where elegance with sweet simplicity
Had 5lent their charms. Around its graceful
porch
Twined the gay woodbine, while the velvet lawn
Fresh sprinkled, and those snowy walls
Seem'd through their leafy canopy to smile
A welcome to the guest. My heart was light,
AS towards this bower of bliss drew, to greet
friend, who in my careless boyhood shared
Each healthful sport, each hour of studious toll,
With kindred emulation. And | thought,
After my wandrings in foreign cline,
How sweet to rest as he hath pleasantly
In such pure paradise, and watch the bloom
OF young affections. Near that open door
Two cherub children gambolld. One -display'd
In such strong miniature the manly charms
Of my long parted friend, that in my soul
Woke the warm pulses of remembered Joy.
There the same bold forehead, where dis
guisc
Might never Turk the same full halle eye,
MeNing, yet ardent.
On, with willing smile,
lie led mis- fairy sister, Rurmurng low,
In varied tones of dove-like tenderness,
And sometimes, o'e her lily form would bend
In infantile protection, with such grace,
That in my arms slasp'd him, and exclaim'd
Show thy father"
On couch he lay.
Who lay? dared not call him friend. That
wreck
OF natures nobleness Had dire disease,
Or ruthless poverty, thus changed brow
Where beam d bright fancy, intellectual light,
And soaring dignity of soul2 All no!
For then would have jond my face to his,
And spoke of heaven. But Vice her hideous
seal
Had stamp'd upon those features, and the mind,
Tho ETHEREAL mind, debased.
She too was near,
Who at Gods altar gave her hottest vow,
in all the trusting confidence of love,
TO this her chosen friend. On her young cheek
There was cankering grief, and the pale tlace
OF beauty's rosebud nipp'd.
Something 1 said,
Bat faint and brokeny of former days,
When in The path of science and of hope
We walked twin-hearted Then there came a
peal
OF vacant laughter from those bloated lips,
And the swoin hand with trembling haste was
slretch'd
For Friendships grasp.
Twas but transient rush
OF generous feeling. AT the shouting voice
OF his young children, sporting the bed,
His fiery eye-balls flashed, and hoarse threat
Appalled, those innocent ones; and that fair
girl,
From whom iDtemperance had reh the guide
Which nature gave, in terror hid her face
Deep in her mothers robe.

The poisonous bowl, but then in the meek eve
OF her who lov'd him, shone such pleading

Of sternness breathed itself away in signs.

of the Heather Poet, quoted by Christian A.
postle that GO evil communication corrupts good
manners" IT is sure to operate on the soul, as
poison operates on the body, with more or less

subtle or potent. The person lives not at anv

to be most susceptible, who can avoid taking
tincture from those with whom he mingles not,
as we limited before, transiently and through
necessity, but habituay, and from choice. 4" He

Soft fhro' a quiet room,
That husl,'d, but not forsakcn, scem'd--
Still, but with nought Of gloom;
For there secure in happy age,
Whose hope is from above,
A father communed with the pago
OF Heavens recorded lovo.
Pure foil tho beam, and mcekly bright,
On his grey holy hair,
And touched the book with tonderest light,
As If its shrine were there:
But oh! that .Patriarch's aspect shone
With something lovelier far
A radiance II the spirits own,
Caught not from sun or star.
Some word Of life ev'n thon had met
His calm benignant eye;
Somo ancient promise, breathing yet
Of Immortality;
Some hearts deep language, where the glow
or quenchless faith survives;
For every feature said--"I know
That my Redeemcr lives"
And silont stood his children by,
flushing their very breath
Before the solemn sanctity
OF thoughts DER sweeping death;
Slent--yet did not each young broast
With lovo and reverence melt'
Oh hest no those fair girls and blest
