SOlNS MI lloNs
BY MISS F.. II. STOCKTON.
All through the dreary winter months
We nursed her lovely form,
And trembled at the slightest gale
Or threatening of a storm.
How solemnly we guarded her,
How tcarfully caressed-
And oh! with what an anxious gaze
We watched her troubled rest!
And when the searching winds of March
Swept by with moaning sound,
How still became our hearts with fear,
How pale each face around.
And eagerly-yet half afraid,
We marked the slightest change,
And fancied in her tones of love
A cadence sadly strange.
We could not bear to see her fade
To mote her failing voice,
Fen though its murmured melody
Still faltered out-rejoice!
Her eyes looked larger than of yore,
Hei brow more purely white;
And oh! we %shuddered when she held
Her hand against the light.
That hand was tremulous and thin,
Yet oft, when tears were shed,
She pressed it tenderly in turn
Upon each dropping head!
0 she was loveliesevery hour,
And dearer every day.
And made our lowly home a place
For angel guests to stay!
But winter storms at length were gone,
The flowers began to bloom,
And as she stronger grew, a light
Broke in upon our gloom,
And JOY too deep for words to tell
Wa ours, one balmy day
1t was the softest and the last
Of the sweet month of May:
We bore her gently to the shade
Of an old, favorite. tree,
We placed her on the very spot
Where she had wished to be.
We wept sweet tears of gratitude,
And smiled with strange delight,
To see how freshly tloomed her check
And how her eyes grew bright.
And one-the youngest of our band,
Twined roses for her hairy
And merrily our mirth ran out
n, "nen our nedrS-wrrz
en- Me1 she bowed her head. i'
Her lovely spirit fled!
Yes! in that very home of life,
That seemed but made for bloom,
Death in our midst unheeded stood,
And claimed her for the tomb.
We put the red rose garland Off
1t was but mockery there,
And gathered halfblown buds Of white
To place upon her bier.
We had no words to tell our woe
We were too sad TO speak,
As one by one, We pressed a kiss
Tie last-upon her check.
And since when all around are gay,
And birds are on the wing,
We hasten to our loved ones grave
With the first flower of spring.

AMERICAN CoPPER.--A late number of the
Wisconsin Enquirer says that Messrs. w. Afford
and P. w. Thomas, of New Baltimore, in that
territory, have met with complete success in
their experiments on smelling copper ore. They
constructed a very simple furnace which cost
only ten dollars, in which they smelted on the
2sth of September last, 1850 pounds of ore,
from which they obtained nearly 700 pounds of
good pig copper, pronounced, by competent
Judges, to be superior to the South American pig
copper. The time occupied in procuring from
the ore the above amount of copper, was only
nine hours. Neither Mr.. Afford nor MIR. Tho.
mas had any experience in the business of smelt.
ing, and the result is Justly deemed matter Of
great consequence to that territory, which a

ILLEGAL VOTING,

The Loco Focos have been loud in their de.
nunciations against the Wing party for having
greatly cheated them by the introduction, or i'm
portation Of illegal voters into the city of Balh
more, at the late delegate election.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that our present
Loco Foco delegation, who profess to be the
great and exclusive advocates OF equal rights
and @pure democracy" may have the honesty
and sincerity of their professions tested at an
early day after their arrival at Annapolis this
winter, by prompt action to secure "equal
rights" to the dear people, and correct those al
lodged frauds of the Wings, in which we may
venture to promise them the hearty and cheerful
cooperation of every Wing in both branches OF
the Legislature. ..f.t#
But we venture thus early to predict, not only
that the Loco Bocos from Baltimore, or any part
of the State, viii not move in the matter, but
oppose all legislative action that may interfere
with the largest liberty Of vOtiag, or that may
secure the legal right of suffrage, and prevent
frauds; but interpose every obstacle in their
power to pgsyeHt lhe commission Of the base
practices which they falsely charge against their
! s"litical opponents, Mark that, honest voters,
il you please
1t is a well known fact, that smuggier; are
foremost and loudest in their outcry against the
justice of severe revenue laws, for the simple
reason that the restrictions interfere with their
honest professions, by which they live.
Should they, however, fail in move to secure
themselves from the future " cheating of the
Wing party" in consequence of the innate mod
eSty which so pre-emInently characteristics the
party, we hope the Wings will relieve them
from any distressing embaHassmsnt, arising
from that commendable virtue, and take the sub
ject in hand themselves, by appointing a COM
mittee to inquire into the expediency of check
ing or preventing &C Wing roguery," at elections,
in future, with instructions to report, by bill or
otherwise; and that the distinguished and tai
ented "user up" of Daniel Webster, may be
placed at the head of said committee, 80 as to
secure his eminent services.
No one could be selected, perhaps, better cal
culated to paint, in glowing colors Of light and
life, the immortality of those g Wing practices;
and how "intolerable is the sufferings" of the
Democracy, and aid, by his sage counsel, ripen-
ed experience, and Solomonian wisdom, in abat-
ing those crying evils and demoralizing practices,
than the uneelpsod orator, statesman, and patriot,
to whom refer; and for whom-to the discredIt
Of our country-a niche remains yet to be con-
structed in the Pantheon Of American worthless,
wherein to place the bust of this pater pat,ie,
for the admiration of posterity.

TEXAS.

The Cotton crop of Texas, this year, is quite
productive. 1t is estimated that there will be
raised about $4,000 bales The harvest of grain
and other products, is also abundant. Thus far,
in no part of the Texas Republic, except in the
neighborhood of Gulf Prairie, has the cotton
plant suffered from the attacks of lie ratsrpil-
lar. The planters in that section hasy light
seriously of substituting the cane in place of cot
ton, in consequence Of the ravages of these little
destructives.
The Flamingo exist in large numbers on Gal
weston Island.
1t is stated in Texan paper, that those per-
sons who have settled in the prairies, even in
the unhealthy parts Of Texas, generally enjoy
good heaiu while those who settle in the woods,
adjoining the banks Of streams, suffer much from
fevers. ...r.. ~ XXX
