.lN AMERICAN FOREST SPRING.
BY ALFRED D. STREET.
Now Auttering breezc-,ew stormy blast,
Mild rain, then clustering SHOW
Winters stern lettering cold is passed,
But, sweet Spring where art thou!
The white clouds foa, mid smiling blue,
The broad bright sunshine golden hue
Bathcs the still frozen earth:
'Tis changed above, black vapors roll
We turn IRON our expected stroll,
And seek the blazing hearth.
Hark-tha, sweet carol! with delight
We leave the sitting room
The little biue-bird greets our sight,
y Spring, glorious Spring has come!
The suutl-wind's balm is in llte air,
The melting snow wrcaths every where
Are leaping off i'll showers;
And Na:ure in her Frightening looks,
Tells that her flowers, aud leaves. and brooks,
And birds will soon be ours.
A few soft sunny days have shonc,
The air has lost its chill,
A bright green ,inge succeeds the browa
Upon The southern hill.
OF to the wooIs-a pleasant sccnc-
Here sprouts the fresh young winter green,
There swells mossy mound:
Though in the iolIows. drifts are piled,
The wandering wind is sweet and mild.
And buds are bursting round.
Where It's long rings uncurls the fern,
The violet nesting low.
Casts back the white lid of its urn,
Its purple s,rcaltS to show
Beautiful blossom first to rise
And smile beneath Springs Weakening skies,
The courier of the band
Of coming Aowers-what feelings sweet,
Gush, as the silvery gem we meet
Upon its slender wand!
A sudden roar-a shade is cast
we look up win 4 start,
And, sounding like transient blast,
O'erhead the pigeons dart;
Scarce their blue glancing shapes the eye
Can trace, ere, dotted on the sky,
They wheel in distant flight.
a chirp-and swift the squirrel scours
Along the PROSTATE tru nix, and covers
Within its clelts from sight.
Amid the creeping vine, which spreads
Its thick and verdant wreath.
The scau-berry's downy spangle sheds
Its rich delicious breath.
The bee-swarms murmur by, and now
They cluster black on yonder bough.
The robins mottled breast
Chances that sunny spot across,
As round it seeks the iwig and moss
To frame its summer nest.
Warmer is each successive sky,
More soft the breezes pass,
The naples gems of crimson lie
Upon the thick green grass.
The dogwood sheds lis clusters while,
The birch has dropped its Iassels slight,
-Cowslips are round the rill;
The thresher whistles in the glen.
>Flutters around the warbng wren,
And swamps have voices silrill.
80 oc
Has clothed the forest now,
A single days bright sunshine wcaves
This vivid gorgeous show;
Masses Of shade are cast beneath,
The flowers arc spread in varied wreath,

Mr.. CALHoUN.-Various circumstances com
bine to strengthen the opinion that this distin-
guished statesman loves not the course Of the
present administration, and is becoming rapidly
cured of his short-liyed and unnatural attach
ment Calhoun has not, during the present ses-
sion, voted with the friends Of Mr.. Van Buren,;
he opposed them on the graduation bill he OPP
posed them on the outrageous resolution to ex-
pei newspaper reporters from the Senate; ard
he acted in direct opposition TO their implied, if
not expressed wishes, in compimenting Mr.,
Clay, in terms of warm and well-merited enco-
MUM, on the conclusion ofhis mastery speech
in defence of Southern rights When we add to
these facts the lorbearance exhibited towards
the Wings, and the silence observed on the sub
ject ofdemocracy, by Mr.. Calhoun's organ, the
Charleston Mercury, we have strong reasons
for believing that the powerful aid Of the South
Carolina statesman will soon be restored to
that party, whose objects and purposes in COM
batting executive usurpation and tyranny, he
was wont to vindicate with all the vigor and en-
ergy of his splendid intellect until alenated
from his position by the delusive destinations Of
the divorce question.--Bee.

JAMES Nj. SMILEY, Editor.


Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has crampcd
and trammelled every depart ment of the Me-
chancal, Agricultural and Commercial CON-
munity, the unwearied and interchangeable ener
9les OF American enterprise, are once more
giving eyldenceof higher and fairer prospect
before us. That quiescent attribute, which, for
a time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward procliyity to careIessness and indf
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially dsinthraled
from the fatal influence Of too blind credu
llty in the lnfallibiity of those whom we have
elevated above US, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a hap
Ply result in the experiment Of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstigated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and whlchS
still going on in the opinion Of the people, SO
far as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER
al Government, the present Proprietor is about
to embark in the publication of the Liberty
Advocate.

at period when, in this County, It had many
difficulties to encounter, and the strongest OF

AMERICAN LOVE OF TITLES.

The following from the Boston Mercantile
Journal APPLY illustrating the singular love Of
titles, which pervades our community.
We have often been amused with reading
newspaper reports OF judicial proceedings, in va
rlous parts of the commonwealth, and in others
ofthe New England States. Every other law
yer at least, by receiving the appointment of
AID TO the Governor, or general OF Militia, or
a commission IN crack light infantry corps,
becomes dubbed with military title, which is
Iapplied to him on every occasion and which is
henceforth his prenomen for life. For instance
we may read of case having been tried in the
Supreme Judicial Court, or the Court of COM
mon pleas, as the case may be, where his hon
or, Justice Brown, presided with great dignity
and impartiality. The Plaintiff was the Hon
Orabte Ncodemus Noodle, and the defendant,
Timothy Twist, Esquire. Many witnesses, all
EsgnueS, Captains or feldioAicers, were exam
ined, Colonel CornstocI, and Major Muggins,
displayed their usual legal acumen and surpri-
sing powers Of eloquence, in favor of the Hon
Orabie plaintiff, while Captain Gorget, and DR..
O.. l.. d. Draper argued with astonishing in
genuity in behalf fthe defendant. The cause
was submitted by his Honor, in voluminous
charge to an intelligent jury-who retired, and
alter an llOuG uellUclallOil, Cdlne INTO COURT
and by the foreman, Deacon Nonsucn, declar
ed their verdict in favor ofthe defendant, which
was duly recorded by General Jolife, the
clerk
"No foreigner unacquainteG with the customs
Of New England, or of the United States gen
orally, for the ridiculous folly of which we
speak, is not confined to the New Eng land
States can read such statement, without be-
lievng. as matter of course, that the cause
was tried before a1military tribunal; or that a
large proportion of our legal practitioners are
disbanded officers? Nor is this an exaggerated
statement; such things occur every day-as
all our readers can bear witness. Plain Mr.. is
now adays dwindled down into a most insight
icant personage-and this, too, among people
who pride themselves more than any nation on
earth in their pure democratl habit and feel
ings!
"High sounding, distinctive appeIlatons, af-
ter all, neither add to the dignity Of mans
character, or increase the respect Of his fellow
men. What can convey stronger idea of
commanding talent, of illustrious worth, of de-
voted patriotism, than the simple word WASH

eThe little lovers were completely thrown of
their tete-a-tete for it was evident that the sur
prise of Helen's mother had arisen from their
conversation, and her movement had too much
meaning in it for them1o be mistaken. Mss
! Helen looked at her mother with fearful
frown, and Mr.. George Kingston shrugged up
| his shoulders, and looked towards his hat.
Discretion on his part was doubtless, the better
part of valor-
For he who loves and runs away,
May live to love another day.
And after he had fourished his siver-headed
cane, and pulled his watch from his pocket, and
adjusted his stock and collar, he arose to take
his departure.
Miss Helen, after saying he need not be in a
hurry, it was not late, and so on, seized upon
the only light in the room, to illuminate the
dark hall which Mr. George Kingston was ne
cessarily obliged to pass through to reach the
street door, and away they walked, leaving
| Mrs. Henderson in total darkness, where she
waited until she was tired, for the return of
Miss Helen with the light, and then followed to
the door to ascertain what the loving couple
were about, and they being SO thoroughly alb
sorbed in the ecstacy Of affection did not discov
Ter that she was looking at them until she had
seen Mr.. Kingston kiss Miss Helen several
timcs-his arms about her neck, and she was
reclining very afectionately upon his shoulders,
when the eyes Of the swain CHANGED to raise up
ward, and encountered the gaze ofthe astonish-
ed mother. 1t is needless to say that Mr.
George Kingston scampcred olfat pretty con-
siderable gait, and Miss Helen returned morti-
fled 10 the sitting room where her mother, hav-
ing reached before her, was waiting with fine
pair of 'cat % nine tails which she putin oper-
alton to the no little discontinue ofthe young
lady's arrangements. The poor child thought
it hard that she should be so treated for being
in love, and as to the kisses-why she thought
they were perfectly in place. The mother
thought otherwise, and from that time forth,
Miss Helen was forced to retire to bed at eight
o'clock

CHEERFULNEss IN WvEs.-Boz we'll remarks
that a cheerful woman may be Of great asss,
lance to her husband in business, by wearing a
cheerful smile continually upon her counte-

her brow. A pleasant cheerful wife is rain
bow set in the sky when her husbands mind is
tossed with storms and temposts; but dissotls-

like one of those fends who delight TO torture

daily paper has gained in all sections of the
country, and the numerous demands we arc
receiving from all quarters for weekly Jour.

first prospectus, we have fitted out the "Pica-

we have put on her many additions and i'm
provements. Some of her old timbers have
been taken out and replaced by new-she has
a greater measurement foreand aft, greater
length Of beam, and her sheets have been ma
terlally enlarged.
Notwithstanding the increased size, the pub

enabled to work in Shoal cater with the same
facility as heretofore, and form channels Of
