LESSONS FOR LOVERS.

A late number of Fraser's Magazine contains
a pleasant little poem, under the whimsical ii
tie Of Every" which contains some sage max
inns for young gentlemen who go q courting.-
The three following stanzas are extracted from
it,
-"If for instance, woman you wish TO WOO,
Be her humor grave or merry,
The game is your own--you've nothing to do
But make her believe you--sVery.'
"Very sad, very gay, very sharp, very fiat,
Very given to toa, or to sherry
Very hot, very cold, very this, very that,
Very anything--so you're Very
'Very tall, very short, very dark, very fair,
Very pale in the face, or forid;
Nay, I've known man loved to the verge o.
despair,
For being surprisingly horrid"

THE BLEEDING HEART.

A dark cloud hung over the Ceder
valley, and drizzling mist had water.
cd profuscly the thick grass around the
low painted cottage that stood hid a.
nong the trees, at the foot Of the hill.
But the window that looked down the
narrow road towards the village was
open, though it was past the hour Of
eleven at night, and Mary sat pale and
detected by it, resting her check upon
her hand and looking out upon the
gloomy sky, and listening with all the
deep and anxious expectation of ten
der wife, for the approach of her alb
sent husband. De Laney had not al
ways kept such hours as this-he was
once fond, alIectionate, attentive to
her every want and wish, and as care
ful Of her happiness as Of his own life
when she married him he was gay
and cheerful, rich and virtuous, and she
had Joined her hand in his with the
bright prospect Of a long life Of connu-
bal bliss full before her. But nowhis
brow wore the aspect Of deep and set
tied gloom-he seemed to be himself
no more; some secret disquietudc prey

lay concealed from her view. Some
times she thought he loved her no
longer-but the thought almost broke
her heart, and she banishcd it--she
hoped for the best; and now waited
his return with all the impotence OF

ton.
As midnight approached, the streak
cd lightning began to flash along the
woodlands, and at intervals the deep

quiet Of the night yielded to the stormy

dreadfully mangled with bo,cie knife, but
as the case is undergoing legal investl-

a burning mark Of basencss upon his

upon his conduct, and shamcd him, dur
ing short period, into comparative
retirement. 1t is matter ofregrct thas
he SO coon left that retirement, and

session Of Congress he has exhibited
the ferocity Of his nature In no conf

We are told, equally explicit in his decla-
red willingness TO obey instructions, he
was instructed by elections and by names
signed to papers OF instructions. He too
put the mark of Cain upon his forehead.
We hope their names will be handed down
to posterity.as the brothers who by their
acts branded themselves as liars in the
presence Of the legislature of the State.
Samuel Jayne, five are not misinformed,
had made an additional pledge to support
the Democratic Senator while receiving
the lash from his colleague during the last
summer. We are glad to see that MEN
DENHALL, of Simpson, had the decencv to
go home and thus avoid the responsibility
Of voting. This is better than showing
himself guilty of falsehood. Many others
now in the legislature have wilfully and
knowingly misrepresented the will Of their
constituents in the vote for United States
Senator, but they may have some plausi
bic reason for the act. The above named
have not. We hope, therefore, that they
will be held up to the scorn and indigna-
ton of the people Of this State, and the
whole Union.

When we first heard Of the recent hor-
rible ARRAY at the Gait House, in Louis
Vile, in which Judge Wilkerson, Of Mis-
sissipp, was the most prominent actor,
and principal in the homicide of two citi-
zens Of that place, We heard, as an item to
heighten the scnsibiIities in the uuiortu-
nato affair, that the Judge was then en-
gagged to be married to an accomplished
young lady of Kentucky, and that the
marriage was to have been soemnizcd in
n day or two after the fatal rcncontro oc-
Cured. The report was no doubt accur-
ute, as is proved by the following annunci-
alton in late Kentucky paper.
"MARRIED-I Bardstown, Ky, on
Thursday evening, Judge Wilkcrson, of
Mississippi, TO Miss Eliza Crozier, Of the
former place."
There is a moral sublimity in this mar
rage that throws an additional charm over
tho character of woman. The lines at the
head of this article are emnently express
sive of the case under consideration
Judge Wilkerson had been denounced as a
murderer; the popular cry has been raised
against him, and tho populace could scar
cely be rcpressod from expanding its fury
IN violence upon bis person. The noisy
devotccs of Judge Lynch openly and loud
Iy threatened to immediate the unfortunate
Wilkerson under sanation Of the summary
and bloody Lynch code. The respectable
Mssissppian seemed all of a sudden, to be
berelt Of friends and utterly deserted. The
butterfly crowd that had been lowering
around him in his hours Of cheerfalness
and prosperity, soon disappeared He was
how locked up in cold dark and gloomy
prison. His case was prcjudged by the
multitude, and he was openly proclaimed
n murdcrous maIefactor. In this period of
ugonizing adversely, how peculiarly need
full was he Of some consolation, Of least
one friend, in whose bosom he could pour
the secret sorrows of his soul, and where
he could be sure to find faithful and
sympathetic response. He knew, indeed,
that he had exchanged VOWS of love and
devotion with one dear to his heart; but
she was in distant place, and even her
feeling might be changed towards him in
the season of adversely, disgrace and de-
sertion.
Would she still prove truo9 Would she
vet consent to follow his fortune2 Could
it be possible that she would still be willing
to connect herself with man, arraigued
under the violated laws Of his country for
the horrid crime Of murdera And that,
too before his trial had taken place, and
when it was even possible he might be
pronounced guilty9 To expect her faith
ful and unwaycring, under such circum-
stances, was too much even for his own
fond hopes! lie was pcrplcxed in the ex-
treme. lie could not bit doubt! But ali!

a TRIBUTE TO MlssIssirpIAN ENTER
PhIsE.-A New Orleans paper, the Com
mercial Bulletin, speaking of the letter Of
our distinguished Senator, Hon. Robert j..
Walker, in relation TO the "two per cent.
fund.-" which is, on his solicitation, to be
employed in making Railroad from
Brandon, in Rankin county, to the Alaba-
ma line, says: "After the completion Of
this link, the chain would soon be carried
on to meet the Georgia railroads, and thus
the communication be perfected. OF the
ultimate effects of the enterprise, Mr..
Walker observes, ait is not going to far to
say that the completion of this road will
probably add twenty-five per cent. to the
value ofproperty in Natchez and Vicks-
burg, and greatly increase the population
and business of both cities.n When it is
considered that upon the completion Of
this road and those now in progress in con-
nection with it, New York can be reached
in six DAYS from Natchcz, some idea of
the Importance Of the work may be ac-
CURED That it will be speedily Carried
into effect there can 10 no doubt. TIE
emulation Of Mississippi is crcitcd, and
,ceaM and enterprise can do to-
her commercial greatness, ,ciN bel
done. Several years may olapse before
the road is finished, but it would not be at
Ill surprising If q railway should reach
from Natchez to New York, before simi-
lar thoroughfaro connected New OrloansI
with Nashville"
