The False One.

KNEW him mott sought him not
He was my fathers guest;
gave him not one smile more KIND
Than those gave the rest;
lie sat beside me at the board,
The choice was not my own,
But oh! never heard voice
With half so sweet tone.
And at the dance again we met,
Again was his choice,
Again heard the gentle tone
OF that beguiling voice;
sought him not--he led me forth
From all the farest there,
And told me he had never seen
A face he thought so fair.
Oh wherefore did he tell me this'
His praises made me vain;
And when he left me how ! longed
To hear that voice again.
wondered how my old pursuits
Had lost their wonted charms,
And why the path was dull, unless
leaned upon his arm.
Alas night have guessed the cause
For what could make me shuns
My parents cheerful dwelling place,
To wander all alone
And what could make me braid my hair,
And stndy to improve
The form that he had deigned to praise;
What could it be-but love'
Oh little know Of the world,
And less of mans career;
thought each smile was kindly meant,
Each word of praise sincere
His sweet voice spake of endless love
listened and believed:
And little dreamed how oft before:
That sweet voice had deceived.
He smiles npon another now,
And in the same sweet tone,
lie breathes to her those winning words
once thought all my own.
o! why is he so beautiful
] cannot blame her choice,
Nor can / doubt she will be won
BY that beguiling voice.

Anecdote.-A few evenings since, the daughters
of a very respectable Locofoco gave party, at
which were invited a number of their male and
female acquaintance. The evening passed Oft
pleasantly, as matter of course, although politics
were introduced during the evening. After the
adjournment of the party, it fell to the lot of a
young lady, who was a strong Wing to be escort
ed by young man who was Locotoco. During
their walk homeward, politics were again intro
duced, and he, among his conversation termed the
Wings Tories In an instant the lady withdrew
her arm from his, and said-"Sir, my father is a
Wing and no Tory, and SO was his father before
him, and fought, too, sir, for the liberty we now
enjoy. And further, sir, take pleasure in ex-
pressing to you, have no further use of your
services" "But you are not going to walk such
distance as you are going to walk, by yourself,
are you? p I" Yes sir, sooner than walk with one
who would disparage the name of Wing" And
she did walk home by herself

But the people don't return his passion. The
! poor man s &C crossed in love"
! A lady who walked through portion of the
city on Wednesday evening, was asked on her
return how the Locofocos looked "Why," said
she Z" their faces are evidently trying to make up
in length what they lacked in number.''
Female Patriotism lady was a short time
since thrown from Wagon, which dslocated
one of her limbs The surgeon who was called,
notified her that the operation of replacing it
would be painful as the limb had become very
much swollen, and that he hoped she would re-

THE Locofocos complain that Gen. Harrison
once approved law for whipping poor white
men. 1t is certain, however, that the good old
General never contemplated having the poor
white folks so shockingly whipped the poor
Locofocos of Indiana and Kentucky were upon a
recent occasion.
