OLD NAMES.

The proposition of our friend Of the Richmond
Wing to revive old party names, does not seem
to be generally acted upon. People csnnot be
brought to believe that it is very democratic or
republican to make all the states bow to the be-
hests of one state! Besides. they can never for
get the democratic maxim that the ror Pop"h -
the ror del Not that ~e adopt any such a sen.
timrnt. The course Of time makes sad havoc
with party names. The NAVY VAS denounced as
a federal measure. Who saPp"rts and favors
that arm Of the public safety now? So it is with
very many other things, which 1t would be USE
less to mention.

 A ship draws less water by one thirty fifth in the heavy salt water, than in the water of river, and man may support himself moro easily in the sea than in a river.

The influx of the tide had unhorsed him in the night, as he was pass ing the sands from Cumberland. The west wind blew tempest, and according to the common expression brought in tho water three feet abreast. The traveller got up- on standing not little way from the shore. There he lashed himself to the post, shouting for half an hour for assist ance till the tide rose over his head
 In. the darkness of the nighl, and amid the pauses of tho hurricane, his voice, heard at intervals, was exquisitely mourn tul. No one could go to his assistance no one knew where he was the sound seemed to proceed from the spirit of the waters. But morning rose-the tide had SoOeo, ana Inc poor traveller was found iashed to tue pole of the net, and bleach

WHEN MEMORY LOOKS BACI


 WHEN MEMORY LOOKS BACK 8 BT 2. BowRING, EsQ. When memory looks back OD the record of years, Ere reason and feeling decays Ere the footsteps leave in this valley of tears, Are swept to oblivion away; 'Tis sweet, when delight has been sOber'd by age. To glance on its mirrors againi To glide Der the clouds of adversity's page- They seem not 90 desolate then. As the tempest brings caloh the hOar frost '""t
 springs
 At the dawniNg, dsperseS in day. So the sun through the shade of vlciss'tude n'ngT A beautiful light our way; Aod DassiOn and rapture, when tempered by thought No trace ofunhappiness leave; Even gret, when remember'd has tranquility taught How vain, how ungraseful to grieve. Life's briers and roses-its gladness and gloom, Do they vanish together ?-Oh, no! The fow'rets we pluck, and condense their perfume The weeds to the desert we throw; Like the bee thoughts fly the field of the past, Finding sweets wheresoever they roam: They wander through sunshine and storm, and at last Store nought but their honey at home.
