BEAUTY.
"Ihe wind passeth ogcr it and it is gone"

''Ihe wind passeth oger it and 1t is gone.'
How often do we hear men eager In the pursuit
of partners for life enquire for beautiful women, vet
how brief the existence of what they SEEK and how
unproductive of happiness is its possession.
We know full well the satisfaction that sleeps
beneath the snow white lids of beautiful eyes, in the
naughty curl of an exquisite lip; in the blush of
rose that leaps into the budding cheek; in the fine
turn of swan like neck, the gentle motions of
symmetrical form, in the shadowy redundance of
dark and beautifully flowing tresses. The hearts of
the young and passionate leap gladly and filled
with wild impulses, whilst gazing upon these things
but when the soul is scrutinized and found un-
blessed by elevated thought and generous imagin-
ings when the intellect is uncultured, and the inn
agnation cold the slumber of forgetfulness will soon
fall upon the dream of beauty, and the flame of af-
fection be quenched in apathy or disgust.
With men of genius, strong feelings and power
fu passions are ever associated and if beauty is un-
mingled with the qualities of wild thought and af-
fiction if delicacy, and virtue not admirably
blended with mental attractions, the light of love
will soon be extingushed and the general impulses
of the bosom chilled by apathy and contempt Men
of intellect may yield momentary homage to beau
tful woman dispossessed of other facinatons even
village urchn will chase the gilded wing of a but
terfy but in both the eternal splendor pals
upon the senses, and something of an inmate char
acter is sought for to sustain the regard which beau
ty excited. Nothing is so 1attering to the feelings
of man, the exhaustless and quenchless regard Of
a sensible female, and no incense rich can be
offered upon the shrine of woman's ambition, as
the avowed and ethusiastc affection of man of
of genius. Beauty thou art mean and unmean-
ing toy, when contrased with depth of feeling and
power of mind and she who would aggrandiZe to
herself consequence, from the little ambition of
personal beauty, is too imbecie in her aspirations,
to merit the attention of an elevated thinker

From the Political Arena.
INTERESTING ANECDOTE.

We need hardly tell readers, that we have
been uniform and very decided i'll opposition to
General jackson that we did what we could to
prevent his election and reelection /; that we have
condemned many of the measures of his admins
tration; and that shall probably, continue to
say hard things of him occasion offers. We
take pleasure, however, in giving publicity, for the
first time, an anecdote. which reflects signal hon
or upon the American character-The authenticity
of the story is unquestionabe. We heard it from a
gentleman of distinguished eminence, whose wri-
hngs have placed him among the first of living au-
thors, and of whom any country might be, his
own is, justly proud. 1t was related in company,
one of whom another distinguished individual
nowrepresenting his country abroad but at the time
of which the anecdote refers, holding suation near
the person of its hero, which enabled him to bear
testimony, from personal knowledge, to its truth.
In the year 1924, our informant met, at the table
of General Sir George Airey, many distinguished
Englishmen, then in Paris. The conversation
turned on the pending Presidential election. and
fears were expressed that, should General Jackson
be elected the amcable relations between the two
countries might be endangered, in consequence OF
his implacable hostility to England, and his high
handed exercise of power, evinced during his
command at NewOrleans. The necessity, the
part of our informant, of replying these observa-
TONS was superseded by the prompt and generous
outbreaking of one of the guests-Col. Thornton
of the S5th--an officer well known for his frank
and gallant character, and whose regiment suffered
severely in the attack of the Sth of January. He
testified in the handsomest terms to the conduct OF
Gen. Jackson, an able and faithful commander
that occasion, and declared that had he not used
the power contded to him in the high-handed
way alluded to, New-Orleans would infallibly have
been captured. As the charge of implacable
hostility, Col Thornton declared, that in all the in
tercource, by flag and otherwise, between the hos
tile commanders Gen. Jackson had been peculiarly
courteous and humane, and, to support this asser-
ton, begged leave to mention one circumstance
He then proceeded to state, that the day after
the attack the British were permitted to bury their
dead lying beyond a certain line hundred two
yards in advance of Gen. Jackson's entertainments
all within that line being buried by the Americans
themselves As this melancholy duty was
performed, the British General surprised at re-
ceving flag, with tho swords, epauletes and watch

AN EXPENSIVE NAME.

Mr.. Prince respectable citizen of Boston, was
recently journeying on the continent of Europe.
Before Visiting Germany, as customary, among
tourists he provided himself with passport in which
his name and residence were duly inscribed, James
Prince, of Boston, and set out in plain unpretendng
style in company with another American gentleman.
At the first town where the travellers stopped; they
were received in stately form by guard OF honor
and with grand salute for which they were pres,
ented with bill of an hundred forns. AT a second
and third town they were received in the same style
of costly magnicence. The two Americans finding
that at the rate things going, their cash would
be exhausted before they arrived at the centre of the
first circle, enqured of the host if private gentlemen
like themselves could not pass through the German
towns without so much ostentaton and expense.
The host informed them that they could, if they
pleased travel ncog., but then said he, bowling
obsequiously to Mr.. Prince, ait will be necessa-
nv for his Higness to take his title out of the
passports" This at once explained the whole
matter and Mr.. Prince having caused the proper
correction to be made went through the remainder
of his tour without being annoyed with any further
regal honors.

es, of the officers who had fallen, and note from
Gen. Jackson couched in the most courteous Ian
guage, saying that one of the epauettes was still
missing but that diligent search was making, and
when found should be sent in. These articles-al-
ways considered fair objects of plunder-were res
request that they might be transmitted to the rel
atiyes of the gallant officers, to whom they had be-
longed.
This anecdotc, and the frank and solder-like
style in which it was given, turned the whole cur
rcncy of feeling in favor of the General and drew
forth an expression of applause from all parts ofths
table, For myself said our informant, '' felt a
flush on my check, and thrill of pride through my
bosom, and in my heart thanked the old General for
proving by this chvalrous act that the defenders of
our country were above the sordid feelings of mer
cenarv warfare"

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Mr.. Allen a lawyer of some eminence IN Con-
necticut, was very loud talker. One day IN the
midst of an argument, a thunder storm came up,
The barrster as the muttering clouds increased,
unconsciously raised his voice in proporton-up
and up till it became effort for him to speak ;
for minute he strove to get the upermost but find
ing himself unable, turned rounn and augrily ex-
claimed stop that noise ~ Again he was heard,
voicferously earnest ever and still unconscious
of the of this unwonted interruption but
presently another and louder clap came.-" Good
God" he cried stamping and knitting his brow
/" will nobody stop that noise ~.

THE SEPTEMBER GALE.

I'm not chicken i; have seen
Full many chill September;
And though was youngster then,
That day Iwel remember:
I saw the storms coiled up in clouds,
1t slumbered like viper
But when the lightning woke it up,
My eye it was wiper
II came as quarrels sometimes do
When married folks get clashng,
There was heavy sigh or two
Before the fire flashing
A little stir among the Clouds
Before they rent asunder;
A little rocking of the trees,
And then came on the thunder
Heavens how the ponds and rivers bolled
They seemed like bursting craters,
And oaks lay scattered on the ground,
As if they were potaters;
And all above was in howl,
And all below clatter,-
The earth was like frying pan,
Or some such Kissing matter.
1t CHANGED to be our washing day,
And all our clothes were drying
The storms came roaring through the lines,
And set them all flying
saw the shirts and petticoats
Go riding off like witches
I lost, oh bitterly wept-
l lost my Sunday breeches!
saw them straddling through the air,
Alas to late too win them;
saw them chase the clouds as if
The devil had been in them;
They were my darlings and my pride,
My boyhoods only riches
Farewell, farewell, family cried
My breches o, my breeches
That night saw them in my dreams,
How changed from what knew them!
The dews had stepped their faded threads,
The winds had whstled through them.
l saw the wide and ghastly rents
Where demon claws had torn them
A hole was in their hinder parts.
As if an imp had worn them.
have had many happy years,
And tailors kind an clever.
But those young pantaloons have gone,
I, Forever and forever!
And not till fate has cut the last
Ola my earthly stitches,
This aching heart shall cease to mourn
My loved, my ng-ost breeches!
