 TO SALLY ANN.
 IA Desperate Ehort.l Oh, Sally Ann Oh, Sally Ann! How can you be so croel, To break my heart, and make me mad, And cause me thus to do ill I've loved you long, and loved you well-- Aye, loved you like brother; I've waited on you all about, And ne'er have loved another. I've put you through to theatres, To concert, ball, and show, miss; I've put you through m various wayss And yet 1t aren't no go, miss Ipurchascd you a new silk gown, A pair of shoes and bonnet, In order to secure your love- And now haven't done it! Ibought you pianoforte,
 And joyed to hear you thrum it.; But oh, it makes me sadly grieve To think l couldn't come it! Oh, Sally Ann Oh, Sally Ann! How can you be so cruel, To build within my breast fire, And then refuse me fuel! My dearest girl. l,d have you know ~ care so much about ye, That had all the world beside, could not live withoutye. I'd be poor forsaken wretch My soul be sick and weary; Oh day to me would seem like night And Paradise look dreary. Remember, o, how once we kissed, While picking heads of clover: And how we both confessed that we Felt rather queer all over I've often pressed you since, dear girl, Unto my burning bosom; You've filled my heart with blisstul hopes And now I've got to lose 'em! Nay, say not nay-that awful word! Oh, let me hear it never! Say yss-or else I'm ruined, done, And bursted up for ever 'T'is all in vain-you'll not consent! Then, Sally Ann, have pity, Nyouve no love-for on this night I'm going to leave the city. I'm going to where the weary rest, Where springs of joy are bubbling; Where sorrow is unknown-and where The ponsn cease from troubling. This night when tolls the hour oftwelve, With dark clouds OCT me frowning, I'll throw myself from of the dock, And end my woes by drowning. There nasty crabs will OCT me crawl And founders round me riot; And cat-heads, eels and black fish, all Will nPay body diet. And then, Oh. Ann when my remains Are taken from the water, You'll wiring your hands, and crying, say I'm guilty of granddaughter |" Between you and me, Nimrod, the above is a s. got up to frighten the girl. hthat doesn't brin IT round, we'll give her another grist next week.

hand, its charms depart--7its beauties vanish i-and it turns out to b& no better thaR a
 Ioathsome turkey -buzzaFd after all. If you
 suppose that you can pluck the posies of l pleasure without gathering the thorns of
 pain, you are just as much deceived as the calf was that followed a bull nine miles to
 get suck, and then returned as dry as he
 went. You may drink, earouse and frolic l as much as you like; but If you don't find 1 that you have sucked in small quantity of poison while imbibing such unhallowed
 pleasures, you may boil nny head for cab bage, and use my hat for spit-box. The pleasures of this world, acknowledge, are ! sweet; but, to Surfcit upon them, not only ! sickens the soul but diseases the body and yet we are such fools asto purchase them at a payment of thrice their actual worth,
 while wholesome and rational enjoyment is discarded as not being worth the value of ticket for corporation soup! Be charitable to the poor-forgiving to your enemies - deal justly with all = commit no offence, neither in the sight of your fellow man, nor God your Maker--and you will experience that inward joy, and peace of mind, which will outweigh in woffh si the sordic plea sures of the earth combined. Although this 1 world is not a fit abiding place for that lovely angel, Tranquility, vet if the whole human TtC8 W0T0 UOuuu SOS0SuCE WhN tuC golden cord of mutual love, she would come down from her heavenly home, and build her palace where now the briars, brambles 1 thorns, and thistles of disquietude over spread the cold soil of mans social inter- course with his brother man.
 My worthy bearers-chase not the phan- ton. Pleasure, lest it should lead you into
 painful and perplexing difficulties. Seek rather for that sober and wholesome enjoy
 ment. which honest industry, virtue and morality afford, and heaven- born blisses ! will attend you to the tomb. By carelessly peram bulating the paths of pleasure in the
 darkness of human depfavity, you run a great risk of being brought upon the verge of the precipice that overhangs the deep and fearful pit of perdition; and as for gathering the sweets of happiness from ex- cessive indulgence. you might as soon think
 of extracting blood from Drickbat or ten pound notes from the poeksts of a pauper. Put up for today with the provisions of Providence, and at the same time use every
 honest endeavor to make wise preparations for the morrow. and that peace shall be with you which neither the deluding de- lights nor the seductive pleasures of the world can procure. Let your hopes be en- tered in heaven, although your efforts are earthly. Let truth and righteousness be your guides to the paradise of peace, while error invites you into her deh of destruction. Let good advice, no matter from whom it may come, rest in your boponns, and strive to profit by every good and viftuous exam pie, and you will experience pleasures far purer than those which are. born of sin and begotten of the devil. So naste 1t be.

one most enineny qualified TO judge oflhe meus-
ures best to he pursued to enforce protection to
the country.
"From some recent demonstrations in Congress
in regard Tariff policy, am satisfied that it
is high time for The people TO speak out, and that
their voice ought 10 be so generally aud so widely
expressed to satisfy congress that the non-save-
holding States do not mean tamey TO submit 10 the
sacrifice of their industry and their legitimate in
erests 10 crafty the preIudces Of the cotton planter
Of the SOUTH or conciliate the good will Of for
eign nations, to pander to the cupidity of for

sustained at the present session Of Congress, | am
persuaded that all hope Of my future protection
from that body mus, be laid aside, unless the wholt
reople arouse themselves en- mosSe aud prempIorily
demand, at the doors Of that body, redress Of ei'
grerancts. Aphathy at this time will destroy
those interests which are essential to the public
welfare, hut There is general movement on the
par, OF the people firmly demanding of Congress
the protection OF American industry and enterprise
against the cupidiIy OF foreigners and the absurc
distractions Of visionary theorists at home, Con-
gress must and will comply with their demands
But whether we TAIL or whether we succeed, it is
duty we owe 10 our Country, to ourselves and pos
teriry, TO make the attempt, and that too will

sensible OF the important interests for which the,

Lovely dOtngs among the Locofocos Of .Neto

cIivarous mis-called democrats of New
Hampshire are in regular cat and dog fix. The
radicals, led on by Barton, make war as YER
mont lokiss have been wont 10 do, upon Corpo-
ralions while on the other hand Isaac Hill, with
u oerably strong party al his heels denounces this
radcalism in no measured terms On this point
commenced The division, and il has progressed
until at a recent meeting nj Concord, the com"
batants had regular set TO- with canes and fists,
aud after demoshing in the melee the desk of the
town house, the radicals were driven from the
house. by Hill aud his party. The relreaiing and
crest fallen radicals were blessed with long and
loud parting shout of triumph from Hill & Co..
when the latter having quiet possession proceeded
to resolve, among other things, that oil true demo-
Gratis were absolyed from supporting the regular
caucus candidate, Harry Hubbard, for Governor,
and Barton, the regular loco candidate for Senator
in Rockingham diNrct; lhnt, on the other hand,
true democrats ought to supper, other candidates
for these Offices aud, finally, that President Ty-
Ter is pretty clever fellow, maugre his election

be Judged too harshly by the New Hampshire
Democracy. OF course it is hardly necessary for
us to say, thar Elk Gov. Hill is denounced by the
