mans alterations ought rather to be
'set down in pity, than in anger.
That 'arch Magician" John Bell, aid

all fallen into it together.
Whata bright, shining light the old
man White was, when he pursued the
honest, consistent, republican track, in
the ranks ofhis former friends,-Now
that he has abandoned it, how deeply
how awfully has fallen! From his
example, cotemporneous public men
may gain salutary lesson for the reg
lation of their future lives. His ex-
ample demonstrates the danger of lend
ing greedy ear to the consels of an
enemy-that the people will reward
and sustain the faithful-consistent--

such; but when he abondons principle
and goes off into the counsels ofhis and
their enemies, they will lash him with

JUDGE WHITE.

The Knoxville Register, of the 18th
inst. says:
"The Hon. Hugh L. White and
family left home for Washington City
on Wednesday morning last"
PooR OLD JUDGE WnITE!-With Car.
dinal Woolsey, on like occasion, and
under similar circumstances, the Judge
may now soliloquize: 81 have reach
ed the full meridian of my greatness,
and now hasten to my sitting" His
is the common, but certain fate OF
political men who, whetherin early life
when the pulse is warm and quick, or
when the head is white with the frost
Of age, abandon principle, and throw
themselves into the arms of their en-
emies. The issue is plain as a turn
pike. Similar causes under similar
circumstances, will always produce
similar effects.
The history--Dot only of Cromwell's
days, but of our own times, is replete
with examples and beacons, warning
against that rock, on which so many
have been wrecked. 1t requires not the
gift of Prophecy to foretcll, what
would have been the fate of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison, and ofonr own
Jackson too, ifthcy had lent, in their
old age, greedy ear to the bland and
captivating phrases of the enemies;
and had allowed themselves to be Sc
duced by them from the ranks of their
friends, and the practice of their old
POLITICAL faith,-instead of being en-
tthroned las they are) in the hearts
Of their countrymen-held up as bright

THE WIDOWS BLIGHTED HOPE.
BY MRS. HELEN E. CUMMING.
Would the dark curtain of the grave
Could close around my weary head
As calmly rs The oceans wave
The sinking wrecks o'ersprcad!
Yes, gladly would be at res,
In Earth's cold bosom, where,
With pain and sorrow unorpress'd,
The heat is freed from care.
Once, Natures works had charms for me
The sun, with course so true;
The songslers Of the greenwood tree;
The rainbow's varied hue;
The deep sequestered, shady grove;
The deserts sandy plain;
The blue, ethereal sky above;
heaging, rackless main.
The opening flower, the loaded bough,
And fields Of golden grain,
Call fom my heart no rapture now -
cannot love again!
Returning Spring brings no delight
To my cold, withcted heart;
Time Ger my hopes has cas-, his blight;
Gief and | never part.
Once had hopes, but they have fed,
Like chalf before the winds
All, all with feeting Time have sped,
And left no trace behind!

AUCTION ELoQUNCE.-The Ladies'
Companion tells the following among
other anecdotes Of one of the New
York Auctoneers:
A piano was up--'Ladies and gentle
man. said he, Il beg your serious atten-
ton for a few moments. lf'you look
on the front ofthe piano, you will find
it TO have been made by Osborne--the
lamented Osborne. 1t is seldom that
ali instrument Of his valued make is of.
fered for sale, and therefore expect
n brisk competition for the one before
us. You all know Osborne's MEAN
choly fate. He killed himsel-and |
will tell you how it was. He was con-
tinually exercising his genius in plans
for the improvement of his instruments
and one night a glorious vision flashed
upon him all at once, Of something
SO unique, so magnificent, that it would
be wonder to the world; yes, sounds
were to be produced by this new ar
rangement, so heavenly intheir melodi-
GUS softness, that the angels in heaven
would all throw down their golden
harps in disgust! and play upon o.
borne's pianos as an accompaniment
to their celestial songs. Overcome by
the overwhelming enthusiasm of the
thought, unable to support the ecstacy
of the idea, he leaped from a third sto-
ry window, and as you may suppose
made pianos no more. The verdict Of
the jury should have been, died Of
too much musicn All, Mr., Pm
glad to see you! You are one of those
who can delight the soul by the con.
cord Of sweet sounds. Now just sit
down at this piano, and illustrate lit.
tie upon its tone, that its excellence
may be appreciated, and you will have
the delicious satisfaction thatyou have
not spent the day in vain! There, isn't
that superb1 Now what is bd2'
