MANE.-The wings have made an entire failure of
il in Maine also Gov. fairfield, opposition, has been
elected by considerable majority, and a majority
OF both branches of the Legislature of the same
stamp.
The wing presses are making all sorts of apologies
and explanations in reference to the result in Yer
mont and Maine. But none of them that we have
seen, are candid enough to admit the simple truth
We suppose they will hardly believe us when we say
that these strange reverses all of the shabby
treatment of their political allies in those States and
throughout the country, and their attempt to force
down the throas Of liberal minded men, principles and
measures which were carefully kept out Of sight till
their votes secured. Look the case of Senator
Rugges and of F. O. J. Smith. Is il surprising that
Maine has abandoned the wings, when such men
were kicked out of the Harrison ranks and deprived
OF their influence, as soon as they had been suff-
GENTLY used as mere political tools? Will it be-
strange if other States which are yet TO vote and in
which the entire sway has been assumed by wing re-
gencies, and men Of the most obnoxious stamp follow
the example set them by Maine and Vermont? We
told the wings long ago. that they must continue
their organization on the sane liberal grounds which
elected Gen Harrison, or they would 90 back into
minority For this they called loco foco in dis
guise, &c. We say again. if they do not 90 back to
first principles" they will lose the power in every
State in the Union Hartford Patriot and Eagle

A WASTE OF WORDS.

| The Journal of Commerce says: 1.-TWO committees
among number of other friends of Mr. Ewing called
day or two ago at the Asor House to pay their re-
pects to the EK Secretary He rose on their entrance
and the chairmen in succession addressed him in
manner BETTING the occasion. When they had in-
shed, Mr. Ewing, instead Of making a formal reply,
said concisey, That will do, clear; and waving his
hand appropriately, the committees retired, discussing
whether their reception had been such they had rea
son to expect. They had not proceeded far in the
hall before they met an acquaintance walking with
gentleman whom he introduced to the committee as
the Hon. Mr.. Ewing. This put face on affairs;
on returning to the it turned that the gentle
man who had received the honors of the committees
was not exactly in his right mind and had happened
during Mr. Ewings absence to step in and occupy his
chair.n

Preble made sad business Of it, and Sir Douglass

favor.

death, by the pressing Of spiritual lips upon mine
own.
But the void within my heart refused even
thus 10 be filed. longed-I madly pinned for
the love which had before filed it TO overflow
ing. AT length the valley panied me through
its memories of Eleonora, and left il for ever
for the vanities and turbulent triumphs of the
world
found myself within strange Eastern city,
where all things might have served blot from
recollection the sweet dreams had dreamt in
the Valley of the Many -Colored Grass. The
pomps and pageantries Of stately court. and
the mad clangor OF arms, and the radiant love-
Illness OF woman, bewildered and intoxicated my
brain. But as yet my soul had proved true TO
her vows, and the indications of the presence OF
Eeonora were still given me in the silent hours
OF the night. Suddenly these manifestations
ceased, and the world grew dark before my
eyes, and stood aghast at the burning thoughts
which possessed, at the terrible Temptations
which beset me-for there came, from some far
distant and unknown land, into the CAV cour, Of
the king served, a far-haired and slender mai
den. TO whose beauty my whole recreant heart
yielded at once-at whose footstool bowed
down, without struggle, in the most ardent, in
the most abject worship Of love.
WhaI, indeed, was the passion ha d once felt
Tor the young girl Of the Valley, in comparison
with the madness, and the glow, and the fever,
and the sprit-stirring ecstacy of alteration with
which poured out my soul in tears at the feet
of the lady Ermengarde! looked down into
the blue depths OF her meaning eye, and thought
only of them and Of her. Oh, lovely was the
lady Ermengarde and in that knowledge had
room for none other. Oh, glorious was the
wavy flow Of her auburn tresses |! and i clasped
them in transport Of JOY to my bosom. And
found rapture in the fantastic grace of her
step--and there was wild delirium in the love
bore her when started to see upon her coun-
tenance the radical transition from tears to
smiles that wondered at in the long lost Ele-
onora. forgot-I despised the horrors of the
curse | had so blindly invoked, and welded
the lady Ermengarde.
! welded, nor dreaded the curse had invok-
ed, and its bitterness was not visited upon me-
And in the silence of the night there came once
again through my lattice the soft signs which
had forsaken me, and they modelled themselves
into sweet voice SAYING" Sleepin peace; for
the spirit of Love reigneth and ruleth: and in
taking to thy passionate heart her who is Err
mengarde thou art absoved, for reasons which
shall be made known to thee in Heaven, Of thy
vows unto Eeonora"

THE LATE LIEUT.. VIM. P. JONES.

ELEGH
ON the DEATH OF LIEUT.. WILLIAM PAGE JONES
The landscape smileth fair in sunny Spring,
And when the Summer comes, It's brighter still
Gay birds, and breeze, and silver streamlet sing,
And happy Nature dreams no lurking i'll.
Twas thus the spring-iime Of thy life, my friend,
Seem'd bright season of unmingled joy;
Thus did the melodies of earth attend
The fow'ry pathway of the laughing boy
Oh | remember well the verdant vale
And the sweet waters flowing gently by
The messy rocks--the tree--from which gale
Tore its green boughs, and hurled them to the sky
The cave, where we retired from sudden rain,
And read strange stories Of the days Of ED
All, all are present TO my mind again,
As II reality my eyes beheld
Then, WILLIAM, sorrow was unknown to thee,
And thou didst teach resounding hills thy song
The pretty fow'rets smiled upon thy glee
The zephyrs kissed thee they danced along.
We parted-years flew by-once mole we met
We met where Hudson forms fairy scene
All, who that roams the Highlands can forget
Those frowning mountains, and that stream
II was the summer Of thy sinless days,
The buds of promise now were fully blown,
w lille their rich beauty won incessani praise,
And fan and freely was their fragrance thrown.
Proud Fame invited TO her temple bright,
And held wreath to lure thee on thy way.
saw thy swift advance, thy hearts delight,
As from thine eyes it beamed in sunny ray.
Again we parted, and we met again;
The soldiers plume waved lightly DER thy brow,
Thy noble steed rushed warlike Der the plain
He bore chieftain lov'd and valiant nov
The far artillery, with thunder roar
Most terrible cen shook the stubborn ground;
And blue Potomac's waves, from shore TO shore,@
Ran fearful trembling at the awful sound
Silence resumed her reign--and thou vast gone
Gone, little thought we never more to meet;
Gone, leaving friends and relatives alone;
Gone, cold and silent in thy winding sheet!
Ambition blasted, withered youth and love,
Sudden removed from pleasing earthly strife;
WILLIAM, tits happier far TO dwell above,
And roam the halls of everlasting life
