LOVE-.

h Love, when founded in the hear

J ditated salIies of fondncss; but every
! cool deliberate exhibition of the pas
sion, only argues little understanding,
or great insinccrity.
Choang was The fondest husband, and
iIansi the most endearing wife, in all
the kingdom. of Korea: they were a
pattern of conjugal bliss; the inhabi-
tants of the country around saw, and
cnvicd their felicity wherever Choang
came, Hansi was sure to follow; and in
all the pleasures of Hansi, Choang was
admitted partner. They walked hand

ing every mark of mutual satisfaction.
embracing, kissing; their mouths were
for ever joined; and, to speak in the
language OF anatomy, it was with them
one perpetual anastomosis.
Their love was so great, that il was
thought nothing could interrupt their
mutual peace; when on accident hap
pencd, which, in some measure, dimin-
ishcd the husbands assurance of his
wife's fidelity; for love so refined as his,
was subject to thousand little dispute
tudes.
Happening to go one day alone u
mong the tombs that lay at some dis
lance from his house, he there percciv-
cd lady dressed in the deepest mour-
ming (being clothed all over in whitc)
flaming the wet clay that was raised
over one of the graves with a large fan
which she held in her hand. Choang,
who had early been taught wisdom in
the school Of Lao, was unable TO assign
Il cause for her present employment;
and, coming up, civily demanded the
reason. "Alasr' replied the lady, her
eyes, bathed in tears, show is it posi-
bic to survive the loss Of my, husband,
who lies buried in this grave? He was
the best of mea, the tendorest Of hus-
bands; with his dying breath he bid me
icvcr marry again till the earth over
his grave should be dry; and here you
sec me steadily resolving to. obey his
will, and cpdeavouring to dry it With
my fan. have employed two whole
days in fulfilling his commands, and am
determined not to marry till they arc
pmctually Obeyed, even though his
grave should take up four days in dry
ing"
Choang, who was struck with the
Widows beauty, could not, however,
avoid smiling at her haste to be marri-
ed; but, concealing the cause of his
mirth, civily invited her home; adding,
that he had a wife who might be capa-
bic of giving her some consolation. AS
soon as he and his guest were returned,
he impaired to Hansi, in private, what
he had seen, and could not avoid cx-
pressing his uneasiness, that such'might
be his own case, if his dearest wife one
DAY should happen to survive him.

The UNFORGOTTEN.
Forget thee! viii school my heart,
Though hard, oh hard the lesson be,
To know no more the hopes the joys,
That minglc with the thought Of thee
Forget thee! yea, my soul! no more
For thee shall kindle into flame
No more the pulses ofmy heart,
Shall throb with fcrvor at thy name.
Forget thee. if the things that were
Had stamped no image on my breast,
The sight Of all that thou hast loved,
The hallowcd earth thy foot hath pressed,
would forget thee if the voice
OF music did not sound as thine;
Or if thy heart in all see
And love were not revealed to mine.
If when among the worshppers
i sit and offer up my prayers,
My thoughts. my worships were the same,
And offered at one shrine with theirs,
could forget thec--but to thee
My inmost thoughts, my prayers ascend,
With thee my prisons began
In midnight dreams Of thee TO end
Il
Forget thec if it be thy wish,
may mott dare not disobey,
Though every parting thought must rend
Some dearest chords of life away
Thus only may thy will be done
Thus, only thus-can forget:
For while one trembling throb remains,
Thou art its soul-its being yet.
Then, when my last of tears is shed,
My last fond word of sorrow spoken,
Remember thou-T know thou wilt,
The heart, bright girl, thou hast broken.
Then would not my throne exchange
For crowns or all that crowns can give
One moment in my thoughts to reign
One moment in my heart to live.

PRoscRlPTIoN---The federal party in
the State ofNew York are CARRYING on the
work of"proscription" with vengeance
They removed at one fell s1oop, all the
Democratic officers Seventy in number)
who have charge of the canals of that
State, and appointed in their places the
most violent partizan federalists. The
Albany Argus says, "the incumbcnts who
'haye thus, without single exception,
been "proscribcd," were among the most
capable and faithful public officers Of
which any state can boast. With scarce
ly an exception, they had discharged theft
duties with scrupulous fidelity. and with a
capacity and honesty that challenged the
approval and praise fall candid men
Il is fact that speaks trumpet tongueC
in their favor, that since the organization
of our canal system, during, which periot
from fifteen to twenty millions of dollar,
have been collected, not dollar has beer
lost to the State by these oflicers.;' Not
withstanding the federal editors have shed
30 many crocodile tears because the Post
master General found it necessary toturn
out few Of their partizan postmasters
and put in their places better men, it is a
part of their creed to "proscribe" every
democratic officer within their reach,

ARMS OF THE UNITED STATEs.-Al-
though the study Of Hcraldry may not
be very amusing to our republican rcat
ders, yet, as the eagle, with extended
wings, grasping the arms Of war and,
the olive of peace, is constantly pre-
sented to our eyes in some way or 9th
er. it may not be unintercsting TO give
history and an explanation Of the
arms Of our country.
In June, 1882, when Congress was
about to form an armorial device for
4 seal for the Union, Charles Thorn
son, Esq, then Secretary, with the
Hon. Arthur Ice, and L. Boudinot,
members of Congress, called on Mr..
William Barton, and consulted him on
the occasion.
The great seal, for which Mr.. VIM.
Barton furnished these gentlemen with
devices, was adopted by Congress, on
the Goth Of June 1882. The device
is as follows:-.Arn,s-Paleways ofthir-
teen pieces, argent, gules,a chiefazure;*
the cseutcheon on the breast as the
American eagle, displayed proper, hoi'
ding in his dexter talon an olive branch
of thirteen arrows, all proper; and in
bis beak, a scroll with the motto "E.
Pluribus Unum.n
The Breast.-Over the head Of the
eagle, chappears above the cscutch-
con, glory or breaking through
cloud proper, and surrounding stars,
forming constellation, argent on an
azure field.
| Reverse. Pyramid unfinished,
In the Zenith, an eye, in triangle,
surrounded with glory-over the eye,
these words "Armuit Cnptis."
Remarks and Explanations.-Thc
escutcheon is composed Of the Chief
and Pale, the two most honorable or
dinaries the thirteen pieces pale re-
present the several States in the Uni
ion, all joined in one solid compact en-
Etire. supporting chief which unites
the whole, and represents Congress
the motto alludes to the Union; the
pales in the arms arc kept closely uni
Fled by the chief, and the chief depends
on that union, and the strength result
ing from it for its support, to denote the
Econfedcracy the States, and tho pre-
rservationoi the Union, through Con-
gress. The colors of the pales, arc
those used in the flag Of the United
States of America-whitc, signifies pu
rity and innocence; red, hardness and
valor; and blue, the color Of the chief,
signifies vigilance, perseverance and
Justice; the olive branch and arrows,
denote the power Of peace and war.
which is exclusively vested in Congress
The Crest or Con ISOLATION denotes
new State taking its place and rank
among other powers. The Escutcheon
borne on the breast of a American Ea-
gle, without any other supporters, de-
notes that the United States ought to
rely on their own virtue. The Py-
ramid on the reverse. signifies strength
aud devotion; its unfinished state refers
to the infancy of the American govern
mcnt. The Eye over it, and the mot
te 'Armuit Ceptis,' "Ic sanctions our
endeavors," alludc TO the, many signal
interpretations Of Providence in favor Of
the American cause.

General Scott.-We were so fortunate
last evening as 10 be one Of the numerous
auditors Of General Scott. His remarks
upon the duty of the citizens on the from
tier were characterized bv generous senti.
ments and good sense, and we'll received,
we believe, by all who listened 10 them.
After advertIng appropriately 10 the or.
dcrs he had received from the Presidcn, Of
the United States, which might call him 10
discharge a painful duty, he pointed out
clearly and forcibly the improperly and
danger Of Americans interfering IN the af:
fairs Of Canada.
No man probably in this country can do
more by his personal influence 10 prevent
violation of the laws, than General Scott.
He has the respect of all men, whatever
their feelings on the Canada or any other
question. And in what he says there is so
much good sense, and genuine patriotism,
and American feeling manifested, that all
are prepared te listen TO his arguments and
to respect his conclusions. The most
Jealous Patriots who listened TO him last
night would find i. difficult to galnsay any
portion o. his remarks.

The removal Of Mr.. Price, with no one

just indignation against all projects lot
trusting public officers with the custody OF

DREADFUL AFFRAY AT LOUISVILLE.
A fearful rencontre occurred at tho Gait
House in this city on Saturday last. Va.
rious conflicting rumors in regard to it are
aHoat, and, to avoid errors, we shal! only
make general statement Of the occurren~
ces.
On Saturday evening, difficulty took
place between Judge WiIlierson. Dr. VII"
kerson, ard Mr.. Murdo, all of Mississippi
and MIR. Redding merchant taller Of this
city, in regard to Some coats which had
been made BY the latter for some OF the first
named Individuals Redding appears TO
have been roughly used and he went to the
Gait House after night TO ge, redress. ac-
companed by three or four Of his friends.
In the bar room, he met Judge WIlkerson
and some words passcl between them.-
The Judge retired, and in short time re-
turned with DR.. Wilkerson and Mr. Murdo,
all armed with Bowie knives.
a general fight almost Immediately
ensued. Mr.. Neck, a bar keeper in the
Wall street House, was struck dead by
Bowie knife. A similar knife was pas
sed through the lungs of Mr.. John Roth,
well, halter in this city, who died last
evening. Mr.. Holmes, steam boat pilot
or an engineer was also badly cut.-
In short time a crowd had collected
around the comba,ants and the Mississippi
ans retired up the steps, Of The Hotel,
and in going up the steps, one Of them re-
ceived wound in his shoulder from ps.
,ol that had been dropped in the contest,
He re,urneds the fire without effect. We
learn that Mr.. Redding and his friends were
unarmed-at least, they displayed no
arms during the conflict. Judge and Dr..
Wilkerson and Mr.. Murdo were arrested
and placed in cofnemenl.
