THE FORSAKEN.

He never meets me, as of old,
>, As friends, less CHERISHED, meet me;
His glance is ever calm and cold,
To welcome, or to greet me.
HIS signs meier follow where | move,
Or tell what others signs do;
But though his lips ne'er say II love-"
often think his eyes do!
He never turns amid the throng,
Where colder ears will listen;
Or gives one thought to that poor song,
:, Once made his eyelids giisten:
But sometimes, when our giances meet,
AS looks less warm-more wise-do,
ALBEIT his eyes 'er say, It's sweet,
often think his eyes do!
Oh! brighter smiles than mine may glass
Ills hours of mirth or sorrow;
And fairer forms than mine may pass
- Across his path tomorrow;
but something whispers solace yet,
". AS stars through darken'd skies do;
His lips ne'er say, ~ don't forget"
often think his eyes do!

ket and cider, aud fled to his home. which was
not far distant. under the full belief that he had
been wayisidby robbers. Ashsst with frirh,.

From the N. York Evg. Post.

Mr.. BACON, an eminent clergyman OF New
Haven, has thought proper to repeat in ano ther
form. his warnings against a practice adopted
by a certain party in this country, which is like
ly TO make more drunkards than political con-
verts. In a letter 10 the New Haven Palladium,
a wbg paper, after observing that the remarks
Of his on this subject were not delivered from
the pulpit. and that instead of saying "intem
perdncc had lately become one Of the badges of
a political party" he said that "drinking had
become one OF the badges Of political party"
he proceeds thus:
"ln rapid extemporanesus address. with
only few moments 10 speak in, / believe that
used some such expression ns hard cider made
harder by brandy. At any rate. my meaning
was impenectly expressed, and do not com
plain if it has been misunderstood. hsd in
view two things, which in the haste with which
spoke may have been mixed together as bran
dy someemes gets into a barrel OF cider-frst,
the fact that much cider is manufactured or
consumed with cider brandy. or other spiritous
liquors added to the pure juice-and secondly,
the fact that many drinker of brandy and 9TH
intoxicating drinks. calls his potations hard ci-
der know nothing OF the matter, except by
inference from my knowledge Of human nature,
but ask the bar-keeper of the Quinnipaic House,
any other place where the drinking party
con.regate. whether two thirds Of sim es juLeps,
cocktails. and what not, which he sells, are not
under the name Of hard cider.
Here then was the drift and point Of my re-
marks. The taking of hard cider as a political
watchw ord by great and triumphant party, at
the time when the friends of temperance are
trying 10 introduce the fashion Of total absti-
nencs, operates unfaverably for temperance
The enthusiasm Of Harrison Conventions
where thousands and tens Of thousands come

juice of the apple juice of the grape. is one
Of the forms in which enthusiasm expresses IL
sof-s dangerous enthusiasm. Thousands
Of individuals among our fifteen millions, may
within this year take their first lesson in that
career Of couvvial drinking. which will bring
them to poverty and wretchedness, and at last
TO the drunkard's grave. In giving utterance
to these sentiments. ! spoke as freeman. be-
longing to no party. l wish these sentiments
might be echoed and repeated till every young
man in the country is warned Of the danger.

Passed the House thi, evening by a vote o,
l24 yeas to lo7 nays. Ii has passed the ordeal
OF long, arduous, and able discussion. The
present was the first Congress elected since the
question was presented by the President to the
peoples Representatives. The majority m ade
up in the last Congress consisted Of Federalists
aud few Bank Conservatives, who did not
come instructed BY the polls. but BY the ,aults.
Mr.. Banks. the chairman Of tbs committee,
who presided over the body and the debate from
the 2oth Of May last. has discharged his duty
With singular ability.

in this town with the usual observances. and
rather more than the usual spirit THE Ar
TILLERr COMPANY, under the command of Col
SWAN, paraded with full ranks. and performed
the escort duty in their usual handsome style.
The procession was quite long and respectable
in comparison with latter years and new feat
ure was added to it which had very pleasing
effect. Twenty-six young girls. with wreaths
Of flowers on their heads, representing the TWEEN
ty six states ofthe Union, marched in couples,
bearing banners on which wero inscribed tho
arms Of tho thirteen original States, and they
were preceded by another girl. with two assist
ants, bearing larger banner With the arms Of
the Union. Upon arriving at the church an
ode was sung by these girls in very pretty man
ner. The exercises were all perlormd in a very
pleasing manner, and the Grafton by Mr.. Lake
was considered highly creditable to his talents,
and was listened to with great attention and sat
isfsction.
The day was fine one. and being quite cool
for the season, permitted unaIIoyed enjoyment.
