JOHN TYLER

If ever a man exhibited frmness of purpose-inte-
gritty of heart and anxiety to perform his duty
with fidelity, that man is John Tyler. When we
take into consideration the circumstances under
which he has been placed-tbc nume Gus difficulties
that have surrounded him, and the actious and ma
licious opposition Of his party friends we are con-
strained to admit that he has exhibited high and no
bic Qu lications and deserves the respect and es-
TEEN OF all who regard truth more than error. He
is yet surrounded by men, who, although they re-
ceiye their daily bread from his hand are incessant-
ly engaged in denouncng his measures and indus,ri-
ousy concerned in manuiac uring distractions to all
hIs plans and purposes This is wrong-no man can
sustain himself while those who should support his
measures the first and most active in thwarting
them. No matter what party may claim President
Tyler-his eouHirgmen no never ungrateiul, will
do him full justice, and posterity will inscribe his
name high upon the scroll along with the American
patriots and sages Of our beloved country

THE BROKEN CART!

THE BROKEN CART!
take little joy,
In that broken cart;
If by the Mayor twas seen,
1t would be drawn apart
la the street lyer,
With long axletree,
1t really seems TO mock
My nice genteel buggy.
IT'S shivered shell,
And people on il cast,
AS by their nags they urge
Many "d-n" and blast"
OF its former life
There is none to tell,
It's rattle is all hushed,
1t now will hardly SELL
1t should be given to burn,
1t matters not to whom
1t would scatter fast
All the chilly gloom
OF some lonely shed,
Where, on pile Of stones,
A beggar cooks his crust,
Or broils his borrowed bones.
1t has lost its shine
With an anxious eye
We may pause to gaze,
Perchance TO swear or sigh!
But if Mayors heed
Distresses here below,
And will move this cart,
Then my thanks shall flow.

THE BROKEN HEART.

There is little JOY
For the broken heart;
In the worlds gay scene
IL disclaims a part.
IT'S strlngless Tyre
On cypress tree,
That our reyels mock
With their melody.
'fis shivered she'll
On the sea-beach cast
BY the raging surge
And the ruthless blast
Or its wonted life
There is naught TO tell
Fen the hum is hushed
In the pearly cell
IT'S lamp that burns
In the vaulted tomb,
And is fading fast
Mid the silent gloom,
As its light IS she'd
Der the widowed stones
Or the whitened dust
OF some Wondering bones.
On the ruined shrine,
With a careless eye
We may pause to gaze,
And perchance will sigh;
But if angels heel
The distress below,
For the broken heart
There are tears that flow.
