From the Trou BUDGET.

From Me Troy badgH
The following lines were written by Miss Cynthia H.
Stow who persisted in the sad and melancholy wreck
of the Home in October last and given to her
brother few hours before she embarked her fatal
voyage. He has handed them TO US for publication, Of
which they are indeed worthy. There is a deep mean-
choly pervadng them which pleasant though mournful
to the SOUL and one can easy imagine almost prophetic
of the affective which overlook their gifted author
III the doctrine that the dead the UNMARRIED witness
of conduct and constant attendants be true,
how beautiful and touchngly appropriate are the first
three stanzas!
Miss Stow was a young lady Of superior attanments
of well regulated mind and Of uncommon promise.
She educated in this city, and there not few
here who can appreciate her worth and sincerely sympa
thise with her relatives in their rreparable loss.
TO MY BROTHER.
When the last rays, at twilights's hour
Fall gently DER the dropping flower
When mists gathering on the hill,
Nor sound is heard save mountain rill;
Then hear the echo whispering near,
In softest accents to thine ear
/ love thee, dearest brother!
When silence reigns through earth and sea
When glows the star of Memory
When Music wakes her thrilling tone
And Autumn winds around thee moan
Their accents hear, and oh rejoice
For, bark there comes well known voice
love thee, dearest brother
When Fancy lifts her radiant wings,
And morning birds around thee sing
When Joy lights up thy beaming eye;
And Loves enchantment tools high
When calm blue waters round thee flow;
Then hear thy Sister, breathing low
love thee, dearest brother!
Should Disappointments whitening breath
Consgn thy brightest hopes to death
Should Friendships trust, in boyhood made,
In after years prove faith betrayed,
Then to thy sister yet return:
For oh, her heart will fondly burn
To clasp her dearest brother
Should Sorrow cloud thy coming years,
And battle thy prospects all in tears,
Remember that the Rainbow's line
Is bright mid clouds and sunshine too;
Remember though we're doomed to part;
There lives one fond and faithful heart
: That loves her dearest brother

THE DYING STUDENT.
Yes, must die know the hectic blush
Upon my cheek tells of my life's decay,
As truly as the lingering twilights flush
Upon the sky tells Of the death Of day.
The shadows Of long night reel through my brain.
And visions Of the sprit-land are there -
The sluggish blood Is curdling In each vein,
And bids me for the life to come prepare.
MY languid pulse proclaims that life's dull tide
Is ebbing fast towards that shoreess sea
On which my spirit, barklik soon shall ride
In hope and strange expectancy most tree.
Why do shudder at the thrilling DOOM
Why is my mind at times SO tempesttostf
Why should the spirit fear the graves deep gloom,
Or dread the wonders Of the heavenly host
oh, Il Is hard that one so young as
Should say to earth and all It's scenes, adieu!
For the last time should look upon the sky,
And watch the stars fade slowly out Of view.
These eyes no more at daylight's closing hour
Shall see the moon rise brightly from the sea,
Nor shall my steps again press to the bower
Where / vowed love and deafness constancyi
Fair girl, my Mary Mistress of my soull
My heart Is breaking while il clings to thee;
feel, while sinking, that thy sweet control
Could make this world paradise for me.
But oh, my love! my lip is ashy pale,
And, like sick bird, thought is futtering low
Yet, till the cloud shall DER my heart prevail,
To thee its current ceasless still shall flow.
Long have struggled in the lists of fame,
And decked my brow to wear the laurels shade,
And now, when men begin TO lisp my name,
The night comes and glories from me fade.
In vain, most vain, at midnight's solemn hour
I've hidden spirits from the mighty deep,
And felt, with pride, my own exhaustless power,
Wide DER minds realms, soar with an eagles
sweep. "
Oh, for one day upon the mountains crest
Oh, for one night beneath the jeweled sky
Oh, for one hour where have been most best
With my heartslove and her wild minstrelsy
Vain is each wish-these shattered nerves. this clay,
Shrink from the thought on which wish to dwell:
Night gathers DER my mind, and can say
But one word more and that one word farewell!
Thus spake the student, as lifes ftful CLEANS,
Like an expiring taper, rayed deaths night
Still clinging TO the hopes and cherished dreams
Which on his heart had shed blissful light.
He passed away, and many a manly eve,
Unused to tears in sorrow for him, wept-
And many vowed till met within the sky,
His name enshrned should in their souls be kept.

CT much it might be demanded by the country,
if it did not suit his purposes and meet his concur
renee. As to active Legislation, this was assum-
ed in another manner.
The president was sworn to support the con-
stitut:on, and see that the laws were faithfully
executed. By virtue Of this cath Of Office, and of
this constitutional Injunction, the late president
claimed the right to erpo1sd and cosstrsc the
laws, and determine for himself their meaning
and extent and also their agreement with the con-
stitution. Although the judicial power is placed
in other hands-though the supreme court of the
United States would be auseless toy, ifthis power
Of construction vested in the president; new
crtheless, he claimed and exercised it-and that,
too, against = decision Of the supreme court upon
the very point. II will be at once seen, that II
such claim be admitted and sustained, the presi-
dent, if he be unscsupulous caPricious, may
make our laws say whatever may suit his own
purposes. The Judicial power cannot correct nor
control him, for in the construction Of the laws,
his very claim ie the power Of revning and cor
recting the decisions Of the courts. The leRisla-
tive branches cannot control him; for his eeeo
Poccv, his power to poaPese, and finally to rsenia
bills which conflict with his purposes, make him
absolute in saying what the ieW sks0 becs n, and
perfectly absolute In making it remain ~ he has
pronounced it. Nothing more stsoagiy evinces
the wantonness and absuFdity Of umcootroaied pow
