ROSE TO THE DEAD.
BY MRS. sIGoURNEY,


by MRS. sIdoURNEY.
I pluckd a rose for thee, sweet friend,
Mine ever iavorite' flower,
A bud long had nnrs'd for thee,
Within my wintry bower;
| group'd it with the fragrant leaves,
That on the myrtle grew,
And tied it with n silSen string
. OF soft, cerulean blue.
brought the rose to the sweet friend,
And stood beside the chair
Where sickness long thy step had chaind,
But yet thou vert not there.
Turned me TO the curuind bed,
So fair with snowy lawn,-
Methought the Impressed pillow said,
mot here but risen and gone
Thy book of prayer lay open wide,
And mid its leaves were seen
A flower, with petals shrunk and dried,
Last Summers wither'd queen;
1t was flower gave thee, friend,
Thou Low DIST it for my sake,-
'See,-here, fresher one bring,-
No lip in answer spake.
Then from her sofas quiet side
raised the covering rare,-
'Sleep'st thou''-upon her forehead lay
Unstirr'd the auburn hair.
And when to leave my CHERISHED flower
Her gentle hand l STOLE
That icy touch its fearful chill
Congeal'd my Utmost soul,
All, friend dear friend and can it bo
Thy last sweet word is said p
And all too late my token comes
To cheer the pulsoess dead?-
Here, on thy cold, unheavlng breast
The promis d rose lay,
The last poor symbol of love
That cannot fade away.
But thou, from yon perennial bowers
Where free thy footsteps glide,
Or from those shores of bliss that meet
Lies never wasting tide;
Yea,-where beside our Saviour's throne
Doth grow the immortal tree,
Pluck thou an Angels stainless rose,
And keep it safe for me.
Since the death of Mrs. HEMANs, Mrs. ABDY
the reigning poetess in England. The following
beautiful effusion from her PEN
THE SONG OF THE SEA SHELL
come from the ocean--a billow passed DER me,
And covered with sea- weeds, and glittering foam
fell on the sands-and a stranger soon bore me
To deck the gay halls Of his far-d:stant home;
by exquisite myrtles and roses,
Still, still, in the deep am pning to be;
And the low voice within me my feeling disclose
And evermore murmurs the sounds of the sea.
The sky-lark at morn pours carol of pleasure,
AT eve, the sad nightingale MARBLES her notes;
The harp in our halls nightly sounds glad measure
And beauty's sweet songs on the air lightly float
Yet sigh for the loud-breaking pillows that tossc
me,
L long to the cool coral caverns TO flee,
And when guests with officious intrusion accost me
! answer them still in the strains of the sea.
Since left the blue deep am ever rcgretting,
And mingled with men in the regions above,
have known them the ties they once cherish
forgetting,
Oft trust to new friendship, and cling to now loYe

Let mortals who doubt seek lesson of me-
am bound by mysterious links to the ocean,
And no language is mine but the sounds of the set

EIGHTEEN REASONS

against the proposition 10 "diodree the General Co
rcrnmcm from all Banking Institutions, and substi-
tute Sub Treasures"
/. 1t will be trying an unnecessary expe-
riment.
,. 1t G ives one currency to the Govern
ment, and another to the people, and reflects
discredit on the latter
3. 1t levies tax of ten to twenty per cent.
upon the public debtors, and therefore the
consumers, who are the People.
4. 1t yields up the proposed reform of the
Banking System, which was the favorite
policy of the whole Of Gen. Jackson's ad-
ministration, and one of the leading principles
involved in Mr. Van Burcn's election
5. 1t is hostile to the State Institutions
6. Those Institutions are so thoroughly
incorporated with every interest in the eoun-
try, that it would be difficult to get rid of
them for many years.
Z. The public money will be unsafe
g. 1t virtually surrendcrs the purse" to
the Executive.
o. II will enlarge the patronage Of the
Federal Government
10. 1t will increase the difficulty, charge
and expense of transporting the public funds
H. It. will subject the public debtors TO
great Inconvenience.
II. 1t opens temptation TO pecula'ion and
embezzement, and is therefore of democrat
izing tendency.
l3. 1t will put off indefinitely, and perhaps
render impossible the resumption of specie
payment by the State Institutions.
A. 1t will result in the issuing Of paper
money by the Government, and render it to
all intents and purposes, Bank.
Is. 1t will derange exchanges, confuse
business, and cause universal blight and
paralysis.
Is. 1t will contravene the approved doc
trine of Gen Jackson "that in the regula-
tons which Congress may prescribe, respect
ing the custody Of the public money, it is
desirable that as little discretion, as may be
deemed consistent with their safe keeping,
should be given to Executive AGENTS"
II. The amount of specie, equal to the
public revenue, will be almost wholly lost to
the uses and profits of the country.

THE TRUE DOCTRINE.

Crusaders against the Banking System OF
the States, would be wise in providing them
selves with text books, furnished BY combin-
ing the opinions Of the great leaders of the
Republican party. They will then wander
forth in their Quixotic career with better
understanding OF the position of their enc
mics, and forcwarned of those Inns, where,
like poor Sancho, they may get tossed i'll
blanket
If they hatter themselves that the seeking
OF new and untred paths, the adoption of
new creeds, or the entire REIMBURSEMENT of
the old ones, will be countenanced by those
to whom they would fain look for direction,
they must have singular confidence IN that
jewel of virtues, CONSISTENCY. For our part,
We will not have the uncharitablcness TO be-
lieve, that these gentlemen whose opinions
we quote, and rely upon with confidence as
the true doctrine, will "turn their bucks upon
Themselves" and rcpudiatc the principles upon
which they have always prolessed to act.

Again !:

Although have always been opposed to the in
crease OF banks, would nevertheless pursue towards
the existing institutions Just and liberal course-pro
tcctng them IN the rghul enjoyment of the principles
which have been granted to them and extending to
them the good will Of the community, so long they
discharge with fidelity the delicate and important pubic
trusts with which they have been invested"
The Hon. William G. Rives, in his excel
lent speech upon the subject of the currency,
delivered in the Senate last winter, held the
following doctrine, which seems to have been
heartily responded to throughout the country,
and by many, considered 1.-THE most reason

FORTH Mr.. Rives says:
"My object then would be, no, the destruction Of
the banking system and the total suppression Of bank
paper but efficient regulation OF it, and ITS restriction
to sale aud proper limits not the exclusive use OF spe
Gle as circulating medium, but such substantial
larg,ment and general diffusion of it, actual clrculs

laborcr and the tradesman while the merchant should
be left IN The enjoyment OF sound and restricted paper

IN the currency this would in my opinion be produce

cuny 10 the industrious classes VI society for the pro-
ducts of their labor agains, the casualties incident
the paper system 1t would give security great ex-
tent 10 the whole body Of the community, against those
disastrous fluctuations IN the value Of property aud
contracts which arise from the ebbs and flows Of an
unrestricted paper currency. It would give security to
the banks themselves, by providing them in the daily in
tcrnal circulation Of the country abundant and
cessbe fund for recruiting their resources whenever
they should be exposed to extraordinary pressure

SPIRIT OF THE OFFICE BoLpERs.-W When the
panic consequent on the rsmov al Of the deposites
was distressing the people of the country Gen.
Jackson declared "men trading upon borrowed
capital ought TO break"
The Globe, short time since, in CONNIE nting
upon the present state Of the currency, said that
there was" pressure which any honest man
should regret"
And. to cap the climax OF insolence, the New
Hampshire Patriot, under the control of Isaac
Hill. governor OF the State, has the following
par agraph.
"GooD NEws.-Several large houses failed;in
New York last week, and several more are ex.
pected to follow"
The spirit, that in times like this, or any 9th.
or, could dictate paragraph like the above. is
too base to be allowed an inheritance in acivili-
zed land it should be driven from society and
be compelled TO associate with beings Of its own
na,ure-,he most unfeeliDs portion of the brute
creation.

YEARLY MEETING OF FRIENDS
In allusion to the Friends yearly NEE
ting, now being held in Philadelphia,
the Commercial Herald remarks;
There must be something peculiar
ly pleasant in this annual meeting and
greeting of Friends from different parts
Of the country; it keeps up feeling Of
interest in each others welfare, and
kindness and attachment, it nourishes
the affections, expands the heart, emil
vens and cherishes benevolence and
love, and strengthens the bonds which
bind us to our fellow beings. During
these seasons Of greeting, the baser
passions which creep una wares into the
human breast, are stifed-no one at
such time feels like indulging in any
malice or uncharitableness.-On this
account, if on no other, we cannot but
think the institution of Yearly Meetings
most excellent one.
1t is often, and very justly remarked,
that the state of the mind exercises a
very important influence upon the
health of the body. This is strongly
exemplifed by Friends. As general
rule, they are healthy and robust, have
fine, clear compilations, roiund figures,
and countenances beaming with good
humor, cheerfulness, good will and con.
tentment.
We doubt not but Friends have anx.
ieties and troubles in these times, as
well as others but there is something
in the manner in which they are edu-
Gated which seems TO enable them TO
become practical philosophers and to
fulfil the wise mans injunction, " fret
not thyself." Temperance and mod
GRAFTON in all things" is one of their
most valued maxims, and by acting up.
on it they seem to pass along the path
way OF life with more quietness and
wnh less fretfulness and anxiety than
any class of people we know and they
accordingly appear healthy and cheer.
full, and enjoy, on an average, longer
life than most of their fellow beings.

prescriptions in regard to health than

ROYAL MARRIAGE ARRANGED AT
LAsT.-lt has been matter OF deep
interest TO the "King Of Barricades,"
ever since his accession, to connect his
new royalty with some of the ancient
ones of the continent. With this view,
the splendid tour some two years ago
Of the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours,
to Berlin and Vienna, was undertakes,
but it failed. More recent demonstra-
tons are supposed TO have been made
in other quarters, but without success,
until now, when one of those oGcina
regum, the smaller principalities OF
Germany, has consented to furnish q
future Queen of the French in the per.
son ofthe Princess Mechlenberg Schtcer.

Duke of Orleans. She is spoken of
as belle blonde of24, and what, polit.
ically speaking is deemed more impor-
tant, she is niece ofthe Emperor Mich.

the wonderful greatness Of the human
