The love which survives the tomb is one
Of the noblest attributes Of the soul. If it
has its woes, ithas likewise its delights; and
when the overwhelming burst of grief is
Gained into the gentle tear of recollection,
then the sudden anguish and the convulsive
agony over the present ruins of all that we
most loved, is softened away into pensve
meditation on all that it was in the day of
lis loyeliness-who would root out such a
sorrow from the heart, though it may some
times throw passing cloud over the bright
hour of gaiety, or spread deeper hour Of
gloom: yet who would exchange it even for
the song of pleasure or the burst Of reVel.
lry9 No, there is a voice from the tomb
sweeter than song;-tbere is a remembrance
of the dead to which We turn even from the
charm Of the living Mobile Herald.

Popping the Question.

Girls are queer little animals-ANGELs,
we intended to have said: and we love 'em
all, in spite of their faults, folly and flirting.
We have popped the question at least a
dozen times, and dozen times have we
been refused. These frequent reyerses have
not engendercd feeling of despair; and
strange as it may sound, we are on as good
terms with ourself as ever. We rather at.
tribute this want of success to want of
taste and disceTnment on the part of certain
fair ones, and dark as the prospect now is,
we entertain faint hope that, perhaps at
some distant day, we may yet WOO and win
some young, middle aged, or even old lady,
worthy of our small means but extensive
prospects; worthy of our high standing (six
feet in our socks;) and worthy of those gra.
ces of mind and person which we are sup
posed by MANY to possess. But this Is an
episode-only INDUCED in to show our dear
Maria. that the decision on this moment.

The moon was shining silver bright,
The stars with glory crowned the night,
High on limb that ''same old coon"
Was singing to himself this tunes:
CHORUS.
Get cut the way, you're all unlucky:
Clear the track for Old Kentucky!
Now in a sad predicamept
The LOkies are fer President,
They have six horses in the pasture
And dent know which can run the farter;
Get outthe way, &c.
The wagon horse from Pennsylvania,
The Dutchmsn think he's best of any;
But he must drag in heavy stages.
His federal notions and low wages:
Get cut The way, &c.
They proudly bring upon the course,
An old and broken down war-horse;
They shout and sing go rumsey dumsey,
Gel. Johnson killed Tesumsey!''
Get out the way, &c.
And here is Cass, though not Ounce,
Will run both sides Of the track at once,
TIE win the race will all things copy,
Be somstmes pig and sometimes puppy;
Get out the way, &c.
The fiery southern horse Calhoun,
Who hates Fox and fears Coon,
To toe the scratch win not be able,
For Matty keeps him in the stable:
Get cut the way, &c.
And here is Matty, never idle,
A tricky horse that slips his bride;
In fOrty-fsur well show him soon,
The little Fox can't fool the Coon.
Getout the way, &c.
The balkey horse they call John Tyler,
| We II ii Ia him seen or burst his boiler,
His cursed grippe" has seized us all.
Which Doctor Gay will cure next fall:

And letthO track be dry or mucky,

an amendment in the mode Of educating

Peter Vandng and a couple more Of the Nor.

through the upper end Of Augusta, one day last
week, to tell the people thu, if L. Y, Bright, the
democratic candidate was elected he would have
law passed to compel Augusta township to make an
embankment above the bridge, 10 keep the water
out Of Sunbury during floods in the river :! This
story is too ridiculous to he believed for a moment
No such law could be passed, nor was it ever
thought Of until il entered the heads Of some wise>
acres in Northumberland, who thought, although
il was a very silly story, that might do 10 deceive
and gull the people of Augusta. But we are not
quite such ignoramuscs on this side of the river as
they take us 10 be. It is true, that u few years
since, they boastcd ,ha, they "had all the inte-
gcncc theft side Of the river and therefore ought
10 have oil the Offices y but they ought not to
suppose that we are complete fools.
Peter and the fellows wi h him, knew that they
were uttering what was entirely untrue. without q
shadow OF foundation. Try it again, Peter Per.
hops the crew about Forsythe' corner can invent
something hearing the Senjlance of truth, and the
