From ihs Louisville Jour
THE BROKEN HEART.

She lefl her home beside the fowerclad, mountain
The beings, whom she so long had loved so we'll
The one, who often, by some gushing fountain,
Had bound her heart In loves pewiching spell
How on have they, when dewy eve was closing,
Met at some trysting-paee, where none were
near,
And laers, her head upon his breast reposing,
She spoke in tones that none but nc might hear
There came ciange--the dame so gently lighted,
Alas 1 by him. who liz il, was forgot
The hopes expanding in her heart We're blighted-
For he who said beloved her, priced her not
And then there came the young hearts silent aching,
Which many know, and yet so fer may tell
That nameless void, which fills the heart When
breaking,
When we have hidden every hope farewell!
She wept not-spoke not-bu she knew the trea-
Her spirit long had garnered as its own,
Had gone forever--and her voices measure
Fell soft and sweet as musc's lowest tone
She ne'er could love again--the first was clingng,
With all its verdure round her young heart STILL
And busy memory every hour was bringing,
Some bliss that burst no more her bosom thrill
So, when the breeze through lealess boughs was
signing,
When Autumn hues were shading flower and
tree;
The rose round her lattice TOO were dying,
And nature seemed 10 fade as well as she.
She gave her hand to one she OF called brother
Whose love for her was passioness and pure
She fell that she could never love another
But that her gratitude would e'er endure.
He took her where the air and skies were clearer
For he adored her-but he strove in vain,
BY every art, love could devise, to cheer her,
She felt il aH-but never smiled again.
When Spring, with all her green buds was return
ing,
Her eye grew sadder and her cheek more pale,
Lifes close drew nearer, and her heart was yeaIn-
ing
To breathe its last sigh in her native vale.
The night was beautiful--she reclining
Mong flowers, on which had fallen many tear
And he young roses in her hair was twining,
Whilst whispering love and hope into her ear.
Then after many kind and sweet cndcavor
Her fair head gently dropped upon his breast
She sweetly sighed-the soul had fled forever
The broken heart had sweetly gone TO rest

A second attempt TO rob the mail on its way from
Washington 10 Alexandria has Just been made
The Alexandria Gazette says: ''the mail carrier
who carries the mail between this place and Wash
ingon reports that Friday night last, he at
tackled BY some one who rushed from concealment,
aimed blow at and struck him with club. The
sudden starting of the horses prevented any serious
injury from the blow. The mail carrier then dis
charged a loaded pistol at his assailan who imme-
dately fled. The occurrence is said TO have taken
place just beyond the Little Bridge This is the
second reported attempt within one week to rob the
mail on the Washington road Steps will probably
at once be taken to prevent recurrence Of such at
tempts." 5.

A COMPREHENSIVE SuNMARY.-It is objected to the
Sub Treasury System, that it augments Executive

Piles commerce--crushes manufactures-reduces the

CaEDTr.-A system of credit we'll regulated, which
will give equal privileges TO the poor well the
rich, ought TO meet the appreciation of every man,
and will unless their minds fastened by sordid
ness and thirst for power II must be admitted that,
under the influence of present institutions,
country has prospered and that now by judicious
reformation in our banking concerns, that is by the
restoration Of confidence in the holders of their bills
we can remove our existing embarrassments We
need not go into detail or dwell upon causes which
have given rise to present condition Every one
should turn to the remedy for the evils which have
betallen US. We know that the agricultural, me-
chanical, and commercial communities have always
found in their transactions Of business great
vice in the system of credit Let us all endeavor to
restore that system under which the people of this
country have hourished in times past.-Proridcnce

PRIVATE LIBRARY.-There is one private library
in this country, exclusively American, which we
would give splendid Illinois farm to possess. 1t
consists, are told, of upwards of seventy large
quarto volumes, and all by the same author. That
author into public life before he of lawful
age and has been in public life, with few intcrmis-
sions, ever since. He has travelled in many coun-
tries, and speaks many languarges. He has held
high stations abroad and the most exalted at home.
He has formed acquaintance with the most illus
rious scholars and statesmen of Europe for the last
half cenury-and with all the affas and men of his
country, in his knowledge he is most familiar.
From the moment OF his first entrance into public
life, until the present time he has kept written
record of the events Of each day of his life and the
whole of his life and times, now extend as above
mentioned, 10 more than seventy huge quaro
Tunes. Need we name the auhor} None can
mistake the man. The able, the fearcsss, the learned
the eloquent, the dauntleSs JoHN QUINCY ADAMS. No
other American would have performed such labor
no one else could have done it as he has done.
What rich inheritance will that work be for the
future historian the politician, the antiquary We
should like much To look into it. even now. What
mass of manuscript for single hand, and what
variety of matter! Political and philosophical his
torical and biographical literature and diplomacy
travelling diaries and cabinet cooquieS-lccures
upon rhetoric, and treaties upon weights and inca
sures-ballads, lyrics, and anti-maSonry What
compound And alas how many poor fellows, dead
and living, would find themselves metaphoricallv

either the part of the friends of the BILL or the
