EXTRACT.

Come my young hearty! read this ex-
tract from, Charles O'.Malley, and see if
it isn't true to life!
DOh! tell me not of dark eyes swimming
in their own ethereal essence; tell me not
of pouting lips, Of glossy ringlets, of ia
per fingers, and well rounded insteps,-
Speak not to me Of soft voices; whose
seductive sounds ring sweely in our
hearts; preach not of those thousand wo-
manly graces so dear to every man, and
doubly to him who lives apart from all
tt cir influences and their destinations;
neither dwell upon congenial tempera-
ment, similarity of taste, of disposition,
and ofthought, these are not the great
risks man runs in life. OF all the
temptations, strong as these may be, there
is one greater than them all, and that is
propinquity.
Show me the man who has ever stood
this test; show me the man, deserving the
name of such, who has become daily and
hourly exposed to the preaching artillery
of flashing eyes, Of soft voices, OF Win
ming smiles, and kind speeches, and who
hasn't felt, and that too soon too, a
breach within the rampant OF his heart he
may. it is true, nay, lie will in many ca
ses make bold and vigorous defence
Sometimes will he re-cntrench himself
within the stockades of his prudence, but
alas, it i: only to defer the moment when
he must lay down his arms. He may,
like wise man. who secs, his fate lnevl-
table, make a virtue OF necessity, and sur
render at discretion, or, like crafty foe
seeing his doom before him under the CO.
yer Of the night, he may make sortc
from the garrison, aud run for his life
ignominIous as such Il course must be, 1t
is often the only one left.
But, to come back Love, like the
small poX, is most dangerous when you
take it in the natural way: those made
matches, which heaven Is supposed to
have a hand in, when placing an unmarri-
ed gentleman's property i'll the neighbour
hood of an unmarried Iady's, who desiine
two people for each other i'll life, because
their well Judging friends have agreed
''they'll do very well: they were made for
cath othern These are the mild case of
the ma!ady: this process of friendly vac
cina,on takes out the poison of the dis
case. substituting a more harmless and
less exciting affections; but the really dan
gerous instances arc those from contract,
that same propjnquity, that COMPOUNDED
tendency every man yields to, to fall in
TO a railroad of habit, that is the risk, that
is the danger What bore it is to find
that the absence OF one person, with
whom you're n no wise i'll love, will
spoil yonr mornings canter, or your
rowing party uporthc river! How much
.l. out are vou when she to whom you
always gave your arm in to dinner, docs
not make her appearance in the drawmg-
room; and your tea, toe, some careless
one, indifferent to your taste, puts lump
Of sugar too little, or cream too much,
while the---, butno matter, habit has
done for you what no direct influence of
beauty could do, and slave to your own
selfish indulgences, and the cultivation Of
that ease yon prize so highly, you fall
over head and ears in love-

WOMAN'S LOVE.
BY JOHN TERCIyAL,

BY JOHN rERCyAL,
Say not that wonan's smile deccivcs;
''Iis true as virgin gold,
When once the heart that's wood believes
The VOWS that have been told.
My love has smiles divinclv bright,
And words that move me more;
True as the stars are to the night,
The girl that adore.
Say not that woman's tears arc light,
For deep as the blue sea,
Are those pure feelings which excite
Her tears Of sympathy.
The tears Of her | love arc true,
As silently they pour
From her bright eyes ofazurc hue,
The gin mat adore.
Say not that wOman's VOWS arc vain;
When once they have been giv'n,
Deep are her suilerlngs and her pain
lfc'er those vowsarc rivn.
The VOWS of her love are pure,
As faryent nplore;
For her all pangs would endure,
The girl that adore.

can avert the horrors Of war between two OF
the most enlightened nations, bound together
by kindred sympathies and identical interests,
DANIEL Webster is the man. He also can and
will successfully aid in devsing a system OF
finance, which shall realize the anticipations
first conceived by the triumphant success OF
the Wing party. in con6ding the destinies of
the Nation to Wing Congress and Wing
President. Let us not despair ofthe Repub'
lie all may yet be well.
1t is understood that the Prince de JOlnville
is specially charged to convey the congratula'
tons Of the King of the French to the PresI-
dent on his accession to that station. The
Prince will be received and entertained with
all the honors due to his rank and worth.
Although General Clinch, of Florida, and
G. C. Verplanck, of New York, are talked of
as prominent for the War Department, moth
ing is or will be known until it is ascertained
that the nominee accepts.
In my opinion, this vacancy in the Cabinet
will be filled from the State Of New York,
with great ropriety, as none of her sons now
occupy prominent stations.

The Greeks, says the Historian, were bu.
silly employed in the church of Santa Sophia
in dispute of mixed natural philosophy, met.
ephysics and theology, "whether the light on
Mount Tabor, was created or uncreated," and
were ready to massacre the holders Of the un.
fashionable opinion, at the rery moment when
the ferocious enemy of all philosophy and re-
ligIon, Mohamet the I'd, entered through 4
breach into the Capitol.
Thus is the Wing Purity busily employed in
discussing the grievances of the Members of
the late Cabinet, while the ferocious enemy
Of all Wings is capturing whole States of the
Union, and threatening to enter through the
breach into our Capitol.
1t is time, as it seems to us for the true
Wings of the Union to abandon this DISPUTE
about the light upon Mount Tabar, and to 90
to work to attack Mohamet himself.

MR.. TYLER AND HIS FAMILY.

A Washington correspondent of the Salem
Gazette, gives an account of his visit to the
President who he says came into the drawing
room with quick and busy look, apparently
not having had time that morning TO dress up
or shave. He has large oval face, high Ro-
man nose, keen grey eyes, hair little if not all
grey. His face is full Of deep lines, and is
hard and dry, and somewhat cureworn; and he
speaks low and very quick The daughter
of the President was in the House, all day du-
ring the debate on the veto, and heard all the
hard things that were said about her father
A dandy described her as corn fed Virginia
girl He however saw her, himself, at church
and we give his own account:
''In the pow with the President, were two
rough and tumbling looking boys of IL and ID
and young lady of Is or 90, whom at once
concluded to be the "corn fed Virginia girl"
or the jeweled exquisite of the gallery con-
versation. Her bonnet was of chip or straw
of no very costly character still very pretty
and becoming. Gloves, she wore none, thus
betraying good sized, healthy looking white
and delicate hand. She had on a white mus
lin dress, and silk shawl which hung over the
side of the pew, opined, appertained to her.
She was strictly attentive to the service, res
ponding audibly. Her attitude was demure,
and the circumstance that she was this day to
Join herself with the fold of God, by the rite
of confirmation, may have added to her dis
position to condense her attention upon the
services. Her face bore all the characteristics
of her fathers, long oval with aqueline nose,
| light grey eyes, high, expanded forehead, and
brown hair. Complexion light; u skin clear,
white transparent, and free from blemish.-
Of her neck, cannot speak so decidedly, ow-
ing suppose, to her want of taste her dress
did not expose more than an eighth of a yard
of this interesting feature, and that was rather
darker than her complexion; it was no doubt
= the Swallowed livery of the Furnished sun, -
which she acquired while romping about Sat
home on the plantation"
Twill add single fact to the credit of Mr..
Tyler. After church, he walked home with
his children; thus setting good example to
those who thoughtlessly cause an array Of
coachman, footman, ostlers, &c, to break the
fourth commandment, that they may show
their superiority to those who cannot afford to
ride.
