From the Louisville [Ky.l Journal.
THE GOLDEN RINGLETr.
Here Is IA little golden tress
Of soft, unbranded hair,
The all that 8 lett Of lovliness
That once was thought so fair;
And yet, though time has dimm'd It's sheen,
Though all besides hath fled,
l hold it here, link between
My spirit and the dead.
Yes, from this shining ringiet still
A mournful memory springs,
That melts my heart, and sends thrill
Through all its trembling strings.
1 think of her, the loved, the wept,
Upon whose forehead fair,
For eighteen years, like sunshine, Slept
This golden curl of hair.
Oh, sunny tess tho joyous brow
Where thou didst lightly wave,
With all thy sister tresses now
Lies cold within the grave
That cheek is of its bloom berel:
That eye no moro is gay;
OF oil her beauties thou art left
n soutaty ray
Four years have passed, tins very June,
Since last we fondly mot
Four years. and yet it seems too soon
To let the heart forget
Too soop 10 let that lovely face
From our sad thoughts depart,
And to another give the place
She held within the heart.
Her memory still within my mind
Retains its sweetest power:
1t is the perfume lef' behind,
TO whisper Of the flower.
Each blossom, that in moments gone
Bound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, tho look, the tone,
OF that enchanting girl.
Her stop was like an April rain
Ger beds Of violets flung;
Her voice the prelude to strain,
Before the song is sung:
Her life, 'twas like half,blown flower,
Closed ere tue shades Of even;
Her death tho dawn, the bushng' hour
That opes the gates of Heaven.
A single tress! how slight thing
To sway such magic art,
And bid each soft remembrance spring
Like blossoms in the heart
It leads me back TO days ofold--
TO her loved SO long,
Whose locks ou,shone peIlucid gold,
Whose lips o'eriowed with song,
Since then I've heard thousand lays
From lips as sweet as hers;
Ye. when l stroye to give them praise,
only gave them tears,
l could not bear amid the throng
Where jest and laughter rung,
so hear another sing the song
That treu'bled on her tongue.
A single shining tress of hair
To bid such memories start:
But tears are on Its lusture-there
.ay it on my heart.
Oh when in Deaths cold arms | sink,
Who then, with gentle care,
Will keep for me dark brown link
A ringlot Of my hair?

"The Rev. Covert's Mixture, also now used so

to the same class of stimulating expectorants being
one Of those lucky combinations of medicinal a.

not impair the tone of the stomach. OF this med

AN INJUNCTION.

The Supreme Court has granted an in
junction, to prevent the officers of the
Bank of Pennsylvania, from paying out,
transferring or assigning the assets of that
institution. The rule, which is returna-
BILE on Monday next, is to shew cause
why receivers should not be appointed
to take charge of the affairs of the Bank.
The attorney of the Bank, Mr. Chester,
was present, but without instructions.
The rule was granted on the affidavit of
Mr.. Mann, the State Treasurer.

THE LOCK OF HAIR In a notice
of the behaviour of Colt, who was tried
in New Y ork, for the murder of Mr.. Ad-
ans, we find the following remark:
"CoA behaves with self possession.
Once, however, on Saturday, when the
Mayor, among the articles he had found
in Colts room, exhibited some hair, la
belled, .hair Of my mother,' and read the
label, Colt was deeply agitated, and final
ly burst in tears"
Mysterious sympathy! sacred influence
that opens upon the sluices of the affec-
tions, when vice and sin seem to have
dried up the fountains Of all better feel
ings.
The man, if not murderer, and it
would seem difficult to doubt it if not a
blood stained homicide, is, at least, amen
able to heaven for a continued vicious
course of life. The early counsels of
friends, the monitions OF his church, aud
the conventional usages Of society had lost
their power to affect his conduct, or to
touch his feelings. The cold, damp dark
ness of the criminal cell, the loud exc
crations Of the people, the solemn array
of justice, the gravity of the bench, the
busting activity of the bar, and the quiet
waiting OF the jury, had not stirred a iea-
ture OF the man; nay the agonized feelings
of the widow, in her mourning weeds,
and even the presence of her, the sharer
of his shame, had failed to touch a chord
that reached the deeper feelings. They
were all of the present; all had to do with
his days of guilt, and his hour of trial
times and events for which he had steel
ed his heart But when there was laid
open to him, and to the world, that little
memorial Of mcther, his emotion show
ed that he was not prepared for trial-fol
that trial at least.
Memory went back to scenes of lnno.
cence and childish love, with flowers hung
on every bush, and sweetness borne OF
every gale; when the confidence of hi:
heart never trusted to stories of lhorns
beneath the flowers, or poison lurking or
the breeze. lie remembered of the les
sons of virtue which affection moulded tc
his inlantlle understanding, and made
profitable by adaptation. lie shrunk a
way from the inquisilive of the multitude
and in Imagination, nestled himself anew
in that bosom, where years since, he hat
sought an asylum against the soaring
creation OF childish fancy.
He lifted up his eyes. and the hair loci

life; and perhaps she looked down, an,

wept. The agonlzing drops were testi
monies of feelings yet alive proofs tina
all is not lost; andif blood guilt be foun'
in his skirts, or he be acquitted of that
and only shame be stamped upon him 70
others sins, let him who seeketh the goo,
Of his fellow, follow this offender to hi
1, closet or his cell, appeal to that last evi
dence of lingering virtue, and that relic
which brought it to light, and he shal
turn wicked one from the error of hi
ways, and hide a multitude of sins.

Slate Libraridn.-We observe, with
regret, that Gov THOMAS has nominated
to tie Senate, Librarian for the State
Library at Annapolis, in place of DAVID
RIDGELY. Our establishment at this step
of the Governor equals our regret Is
every public interest to be sacrificed to
party prescriptions
Gov. GRAsoN did not disturb Mr.. RIDGE
L Y, and no one supposed that the present
Governor would remove an officer of the
State, so meretorious, so honest, so oblg-
ing, so competent. Mr.. RIDGELY is a
husband, and the father of eigM children,
with no means but his salary to preserve
this wife and these children from misery
and want. The person nominated as his
successor is, if we are correctly informed,
a young man without family. But whe-
thcr he has family or not, it does not alter
the case. The State Library was eslab-
lished about eight years since. Mr..
RlDGELY was the first Libraria II, and has
ever since occupied the office, amidst all
the changes of State politics. Under his
judicious management, the Library has
increased to the number of twelve thou
sand volumes. Its order, arrangement
and increase has become a passion with
hlm. He looked upon it almost with pa
ternal interest. He ransacked every vault
and dark hole, and brought to light many
valuable records of the history of the State
and with great labor has saved and arran-
ged in form for preservation and use, all
that time had not destroyed. His mani
ners are in the highest degree courteous
and accommodating; we never heard a
whisper of complainllagainst him from any
quarter. The State did not possess more
faithful and competent officer in any of her
Departments. And such man is lost to
the services Of the State, by the action of
party pros cription!-BaH finer.

presume that similar meeting could be
got up in this county, that would be at
tended by at least seventy sir persons,
and perhaps more, if they had plenty of
grog, yet we should think that none Of our
citizens who have proper regard for pro-
priety and honesty, would countenance
it. But we took up the subject to say,
that the citizens of Hagarstown called a
meeting last Saturday, without distinction
of party to condemn in toto, the proceed
ings ofthe regulators, The meeting was
very large, and the resolutions adopted
were very forcible, and expressed strongly
the determination of the citizens of Wash
lnglon County to sustain the credit of the
State. When the vote of the meeting was
taken upon them, there were four mega
tive voices; one of the Hagarstown papers
says, however, that the regulators were
not out in their strength, there being eight
in the county.

with such extensive success, to establish

sobriety, in place of those wild bacchana-

premature graves thousands Of human

their day and generation. Mothers, and
wives, and children, and relatives, and

The Unlcd States moring upon Ire
Iaud, and Ireland nCv mosing upon The
United Statcs.-The ''RepeaIers'' of the
Irish Union between Great Britain and
Ireland, it is well known; have organized
many fsocielies, and sent large sums OF
money to O'Connell and others in Ireland
in order to bring about disruption OF
the Legislative union between Ireland and
Great Britain We have said something
before to this eflect,-thut if this interler-
ence was right and proper on our part,
it was as right and proper for Great Bri-
tain to look into our affairs little.
This zooking into our affairs has alrea-
dy come. An address signed by 10000
names among which are Daniel O'Con-
nell, and Father Matthew, the Apostle Of
Temperance, has been forwarded from
Ireland to this country, calling upon all
Irishmen TO make common cause with the
Aboltionists. On Wednesday next, it is
TO be exhibited and read in Boston, before
the annual meeting of the Massachusetts
Abolition Society. The Rev. Mr. Remond,
the coloret Ambassador who brought it,
is to read it.

A LOUISVILLE BELLE.

A few nights ago, one of the most ac-
complished bellies of this city, whilst
sleeping in the same apartment with Mrs.
Charles w. Thurs'on, who is IN feeble
health, was suddenly reused by a
slight noise, Looking around he, she saw
aruflian, evidently robbcr, at a window,
IN the act of raising it. Leaping up, she
bade him depart. He hesita,ed moment,
but, seeing that the two ladies were alone
in the room, he proceeded with terrific
trownsn effecting his entrance. Tnereu-
pom the young lady instantly seized large
pistol that Glanced TO be in the apar,-
ment; cooked 1t presented it at him, and
declared her determination to blow his
brains out if he did not instantly fly. He
knew from her countenance that she
would be as good as her word, and snatch
ing some articles of dress from chair
within arms length Of the window, he
fled with precipitation. We are told that
the young heroine would have fred if she
had known that the pistol was certainly
loaded; but she feared that it was empty,
and that snap would be tray her de-
fspcelsssness.

REPUTATION IN MISSlSSIP PI.

#. NJ. Tucker, the newly elected Gov
eernor of Mississippi, was inauguraed on
the 18th inst. In his inaugural address,
we find the following rather equlvocal
passage in regard to the repudlaled bonds.
There seems to be lingering feeling III
favor of paying the bonds, as "malter
of policy" even though there be no ''le-
gal or molal,'' obligation to do SO. We
incline to think with the Cincinnati Re-
publican, that the final resolve will be
"That though this State be under no OBJ
ligation, legal or moral to pay, yet as
,'matter of polcy,e she will and does here
by agree to pays" sc. But to the ex-
tract
ss1he question as TO the liability by the
State; on account of the Mississippi Un>
ion Bank, may obtrnde itself upon your
consideration. For myself consider that
important question settled by the highest
tribunal known to free government-l
mean the people themselves. They have
decided in effect that the transactions
connected with said Bank, both in its in
ception and fnal consummation, were not
governmental, but were OH the contrary,
individual! transactions, performed net on
ly without the authority Of the conslitu-
,tlon of the State, but contrary to the eX-
press provisions thereof; though should
the Legislature feel under any obligation
either legal or moral, (Which | do noD OF

A QUESTION OF VERAClTY.-It will be
remembered that in debate in the House
OF Represen talives, short time since, Mr..
Bots, of Virginia, charged that the Sc
cretary of the Navy was an advocate for
the dissolution of the Union, and that he
had so expressed himself in conversa-
ton. 1T was denied OH the floor of the
House by Mr.. Wise, and reiterated by Mr..
Bolts. Mr. Wise then addressed letter
to the Secretary, in which he requested
him to state whether such was the fact
Mr.. Upshur replies that he never was an
advocate of the dissolution of the Union,
and moreover does not remember ever to
have held convsa,ion with Mr.. Bolts,
on that or any other subject. In letter
to the editors of the National Intelligencer
published yesterday, Mr.. Bolts repeats
the charge, and invokes the patience of
the public for few days, and in the
mean time he will produce the proofs.
