ST4.VZ.aS TO Il LADY,

BY REV. WALTER COTTON.
The han that prints these accents here
Was never clasped in thine;
Not has thy heart, with hope or fear,
Fer ,rembled back to mine.
And yet, from childhood's early years,
Some being like to thee,
Unseen, amid my doubts and tears,
Hath sweetly smiled on me.
And oft, in dreams, I've twined the wreath
Above her eye Of fame;
Then listened, as if some bird nigh! breath
The music Of her name.
And of have vainly sought 10 trace,
Amid the fair and young,
The living type Of this swes. face,
On Fancy's mirror flung.
But, in its uuresemble form,
The shadow dwelt with me,
Till unperceived, life-like and warm,
I, softly fell on thee.
Then into substance passed the shade,
With charms still more divine,
As on thy face its features played,
And lost themselves in thine.

nothing, in fact, which disprovcs a single
statement made in our former remarks.
II the Standard expected that the mere
Z" certainty Of Harrison's election would
restore prosperity to the country, and is
now disappointed because his eager gaze
cup and down street" cannot perceive
;" the coming of the good ,imes," we car
only pity him for his folly. The distres.
ses of the country were not produced
without cause, but are the consequence
Of course Of ill-adyised measures and
no sane man can suppose that sudden
prosperity can be restored by change o.
men alone, before an opportunity is at.
forded for change Of measures. To ef.
feet this change Of measures an extra ses.

the wisdom aud virtue Of that Congress,
cooperating with the Executive, are tho
hopes of the country turned for relief. Il

hope that the election oC . Whig Presi
