GIVE ME THY HAND.

Give me ,hy hand once more,
Draw it not coldly from my grasp;
Remembered thou that time Of yore
When thy hand might clasp
Take all have to give 'hee now
My falling tears, my frequent signs;
My happiness was in the vow
Now worthless in thy eyes.
And happiness is mine no more,
Now that thy heart is cold and free;
Yet once, as in those days Of yore,
Give that dear hand 10 met
Yes ! let me press il once again,
Fen though it answers not the thrill
Which runs through every qniv'ring vein,
And bids my pulse be still
Give me thy hand ask no more;
Tho neither love nor friendship thine,
One moment let ice linger DER
The hopes that once we're mine!
Give me thy hand! and we will part;
But ne'er, oh! meier to meet again;
Far ewell, cold hand, and colder heart,
Thy tears fall now in vain!

woRDsI WORDS. woRDsr,

The Columbus Argus mixes an cx-
tract from the long, labored speech of the
anti-bond candidate for Governor, one
paragraph Of which contains forty screen
lines without period, and the one i'm
mediately after it contains tveHty eight,
in the same prolix and bad sounding con-
dition. From the fact that the Argus
had copied these extracts we were indu-
ced through curiosity to read them, and !,
for the life Of US, we could not tell what
the man was talking about. IL the loco
foco anti bondmen do elect him to the
office of Governor, with his very evident
ignorance ofthe English language, and
the manner Of applying it, and his un-
conquerabIe and incessant propensity to
talk, and his inordinate vanity, Che thinks
he is man of brilliant abilities natural
and acquired,) they ought to erect ros-
trum IN front of the Governors house,
and let him call up and harangue the
soyerelgns whenever the fit comes on
him, which would be every "fair chance
for ne certainly has the greatest penchant
for speaking Of any man we have ever
seen. He is in this, as our present Go
vernon is about military display. Great
men will have their foibes. But we
don't want talking Governor. We have
tried drinking one, and he gets along
rather badly except as far as the drinking
goes. Give us one that will act. Ii NAV
be " throwing pearls before swine" bu
old Tilghman's verbosity is lost upon
US.
