THE BRIDES RETURN.
She had her wish-for which 10 vain
She pincd in restless dreams-
"Oh mother is this home againl
How desolate it seems!
Yet all the dear familiar things
Look as they did of yors,
But oh ! the change this sad heart brings
This is my home no more
81 left thee, like the dove Of old.
left thy parent beast,
But on life's waste Of waters cold
My soul hath found no rest.
And back the weary bird is come,
It's woe,-its wanderings DER;
Meier from the holy ark to roam
Yes, this is home once more
"Oh mother sing my childhood's songs;
They fall like summer rain
On this worn heart, which vainly longs
To be ALL thine again.
Speak comfort to me call me yet
Thy Mary-as of yore;
Those words could make me half forget
That this is homo no more.
:" Sit near me oh this hour repays
Long years Of lonely psiu
feel as if the old brigh, days
Were all come back again.
Ny heart beats quick with happy Dreams
Mine eyes with tears run O'er.
Thou'r with me, mother! oh il seems
Like home - our home once more
"Oh homo and mother! can ye not
Give back my hearts glad youth :"
The visions which my soul forgot,
Or learn TO doubt their truth.
Give back my chiahoed's peaceful sleep.
Its aimless hopes; restore
Ye cannot mother, let me weep
For this is home no more"
Thou mourncr for departed dreams
On earth there is no rest
Where grief hath troubled the pure streams
or memory in thy breast!
A shadow on thy path shall lie
Where sunshine laughed before;
Look upwards to the happy sky
Earth is thy home no more.

THOSE SWEET DAYS! THOSE

BY p. mCTEhGUE, ESQ.
Oh those sweet days-,hose happy days
When was blIhe and young;
When DER each hill and valley
golden ray was flung;
When the smiling hours like bounding streams
impatient of delay,
Leap'd swiftly on in joyous haste.
And, sparkling, flowed away
Then eyes were bright and cheeks were red
And mantlug bushes told
The tale of hearts so pure and warm,
They nerer could grow cold
The beauteous face of glowing day,
Or starry gems of night,
FILLED our breasts with gentle hope.
And our souls with soft delight.
This was all spring then summer came.
ha'urng every joy;
illI su'umn's faded leaf proelaim'd
That gold must have alloy
For springs 'oiH 60 and summers come.
And autumn's power will shide
The lovely forms which, beautsou, sres
Hcr fsircst fruits outyied.

And still am not caught;
And still-and still-'tis like to be,
If things don't alter soon
No matter-I'll live on in hope,
At least another moon
No offer yet !-ah, what thought,
For maiden past eighteen.
With face and form as fsultless too,
IA any ever seen;
All. wherefore do they keep me back,
All. Why this long delayl
No man need ask this maid but once,
TO name the wedding day,

that it is impossible for man to become
perfect, but why should he become an en-.
envy TO his country, a pest to society,
clog to his family, and misery to him

by subduing a few of the most hateful
passions, or in word learning partially
TO govern himself he can obviate all
these odious appellations and instead of
being looked upon as a mere. cypher, will.
be considered an ornament to society. and
an honor to the sphere in which it is his

noother qualities than patience and firm
ness. The first requisite it is acknowlede.

sidered as bestowed BY the bountiful hand
of nature, still any one can obtain it BY
properly restraining his passions. The
second quality frmness, is inherent, in
man from the beginning, and to him wha
has it not naturally, a rare set Of circum.

It affords US inefable pleasure to inform the
wings OF the whole country that old Tippeca-
noe IS gaining ground rapidly in Mississippi.
The unfounded prejudices that once existed
against him are beng successfully removed by
the PRONUNCIATION of his proper character, and
falsehood can no longer blind the eyes of the
people, who are now finding out that he is the
very man they ought to have for President
His honest principles would soon give tone to
their institutions, which unfortunately they do
no. now possess. Martin Van Buren, it was
thought would dovery well at one time, but all
now see that he ioiH not answer; and it is
needless for his friends to attempt to palm him
on the country again.

IJJMBUS DEMOCRAT.

Our object in alluding to the above naFncd
at the present time is, to correct wrong I'M
preston that may have gene abroad in relation
to both parties, and particularly in relation to
Mr.. Tucker. Had we never alluded to the
circumstances it might not now be incumbent
on.us to do so; but having done it, it is neces-
sary, to remove a charge preferred against an
innocent man. which we unfortunately hap
pened to notice, not suspecting that it was IN
correct, and if it was, became equally our pro-
vince perhaps, owing to the relationship the
two parties bore towards eacll--as members Of
the same political creed
The charge preferred against Mr.. T. by the
Democrat through the Jackson Correspondent
was, that he (T.) had received a loan Of
$4,000 fromthe Mississippi Union Bank some
time since. which was limited at, blythe cores
pondent, as being the cause of influencing Mr.
fuckers course in relation to the banks
at the present session, and of the Union Bank
in particular concerning minority report
which it was expected Mr.. T. would make
soon after the adjournment ofthe last session
relative to the affairs of that institution, which
he did not do
On learning what had been made public
thro' the Democrat Mr.. Tucker promptly
called on the correspondent at Jackson to make
good his charge or recant the same in prope
way. The former he was unable to do Gas MI
Tucker never had borrowed money from tn,
Bank,) and the latter he did not choose /,
adopt in manner satisfactory to Mr.. Tucker
which induced Mr.. T., in order to vindicat
himselffrom the charge, of borrowing mone
even, to address letter TO the Cashier of tn
Bank on the subject; which elected the fol
