How sweet to lean in friendships hour
Upon the breast of trusting truth,
Nor dream how short-lived is the flower
How fseting are the hopes of youth!
Each care that marks the anxious brow
Is witness to some hopes decay
Each hair that dons its hue of snow
Tears something from the heart away.
Time steals as we'll our hopes as years,
And as his sands run sparkling on,
They fash upon US through our tears
Then time and sand and tears are gone;
And on the tablet Of our hearts,
Now frozen into stone, all trace
or hope or love or truth departs
And leaves the soul desert place.

THR ACCESSION OF pRRsIpRNT ryLER.

The accession Of John Tyler to the Presidency
of the United States is an extraordinary event.
Having mingled our sorrows with those Of the
people in the late great national bereavement,
and contributed our feeble efforts to do honor TO
one SO highly honored by all, in the tribute Of
our sincere and heartfelt regrets, it is not unbe-
coming, and we trust not less seasonabe than
due, to turn our thoughts to the man who now
fills the place of the lamented Harrison.
We rejoice to observe the symptoms of a kind
and generous reception by the nation Of Presi-
dent Tyler We rejoice yet more in the convic-
ton, that the confidence bestowed is well de-
served. In transferring our trust and affection
we do but equal justice to ourselves and to the
object To ourselves, because il is only con-
firmation of the honors we did TO the man in
uniting his name with that of General Harrison,
and to him, because we believe he is altogether
worthy of it, II would have been alike painful
to the President, and unhappy for the people, If
they had been slow to give him their confidence
Now, they will respect themselves, while they
cheer the heart and strengthen the hands Of the
Chief Magistrate of the Union. The great void
which death has made, is filed. We have the
same Government, the same counsels to guide
our affairs, the same great aims before the peo-
pie, and doubtless the same projects by which to
relieve an abused and distracted country.
The early and appropriate Address Of the Pre-
sident to the People Of the United States, will
give irmness to the cause in which we have so
long been engaged, and invigorate those opinions
which we have cherished and labored to esta-
blish. The happiness Of the President and of
the people, we trust, will be one-theirs in honor
ing him with their trust, and his in proving that
he is worthy oft.
We hope, as sincerely as we confidently ex-
pect, that the peoples adherence to President
Tyler will be rivalled only by his desire and zeal
to fulfil their wishes and we believe that the
latter, as cause, will not be wanting to produce
the former as an effect A good beginning, on
both sides, such as we already have the happi-
ness Of Witnessing, will be reciprocally produce
tive Of the increase of each, augmenting their
moral forces in every stage Of progress, and con-
trbuting powerfully to that union on the one side,
and that zeal to serve the public on the other,
which are so essential to the future happiness
and welfare Of this country. Our bereavement
has been great Happy for US, if this reciprocal
good will Of the people and President towards
each other, shall come to US at this time from the
hand of merciful Providence, as an OVERLOOKING
cup of consolation.

EDITORIAL ADVICE.

We happened to say, the other day, eve are not
addicted to do the Globe the honor of frequent
tice SO much at large" and the New York Signal
crbes it to fault or defect of duty. Our CO.
umns will show that have not been altogether
mindful Of the movements Of the Globe, at the same
time, we confess that have felt II incumbent upon
always consider that dirty work is better avoided
when il can be with equal more good effect upon
the public mind
We shall be glad to see the time when the Globe
shall have emerged from the slough in which it has
been SO long laundering and when we can engage
with it, if occasion should require without losing self
respect and without getting mud on clothes How
far we have contributed to fulfil the prediction Of Gen.
Jackson, when he sent back the Madisonian, not
liking the smell Of powder, because he feared it would
blow up the Administration, (Van Buren's) we leave
for the public judge. That Administration is blown
up Of certainty, and though General Jackson may
have been startled at the explosion, happy to
learn he has not been frightened to death We shall
give due weight to the counsels of our brother of the
Signal without taking exception at the credit he has
awarded TO our editorial abilities.
