all such illustrious deliverers whom modern
history records, there is one other, we think,
who can be placed before, or, all things con.

more formidable difficulties to contend with

organic, or superstition or any sudden out
burst of popular enthusiasm, or owed every
thing more entirely to themselves alone-to

Unless our Representatives mean to be

(what perhaps will have greater effect in
quickening the movements of our dilatorv

occasion, carried this salutary measure
through the New York Senate, will in all

WE MAY BE HAPPY YET.


All! dearest dry those tears away,
That stain thy fading cheek;
Unbend thy lips from sorrows sway,
And words Of comfort speak.
Danish the past, and with me VOW
Our sorrows to forget
y And be Hopes star our pilot now
We may be happy yet.
The care, believe me, that enshrouds
Thy checks once cheerful ray,
Gives me moro pain than all the clouds
That darken Ger our way.
Then let thy sweet lips smile again
Smile as when first we met,
Grief cannot always shadow them
We may be happy yet
Gaze on yon star so bright and clear,
Free from its cloudy chain;
Thus will our sorrow disappear,
When thou dost smile again;
Sun of my earthly heaven then,
Shine as when first we met;
All, dearest! dry the tears again,
We may be happy yet.

SON. and is living in splendor in the city OF
n. York with a family, is now claimed, by "a
poor, old, and coarse looking Irishwoman" as
her husband. 1t appears from the testimony
adduced by her at the Police Office, to which
she had him brought, that he was a common
day laborer in Roscomon county, Ireland,
where he married the present claimant twen-
ty five years ago, and lived with her till the
birth of daughter, soon after which he de-
serted her and came to this country where he
turned dentist, and after rising in the world,
married again. His former wife heard of him
through returned emigrant, and sent first
their daughter, and afterwards came herself,
to claim him. He was ordered by the magis
trate to find bail to answer the charge against
him.
