WHY DO WE LOVE |

WHY DO WE LOVE -.
/ oftenihink eachstottering form,
Thatlimps along in li(e's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
Asfulf OF idle thoughts rs mine;
And each has had his dream ofjoy,
u His own unequalled pure romance, -
Commencing. when tho blushins boy
First thrills at woman's lovely, glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth
Would think its scenes of love eyince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than, any tale before or since.
Yes, they could tell Of tender lays, 3
Atmidnight penned, in classic shades,
of days. more bright than modern days
Ofmaids more fair than modern maids.
Ofwhispers ina willing ear,
Ofkissing on blushing cheek.
Each kiss, each whisper, far too.dear
For modernlIps 10 give or speak;
Ofprcspect too, untimely crossed,
OF passions sighted r.betrayed-
Ofkindred spirits early lost,
And buds that bIossomed but to fades
Ofbeaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow.
And charms, that all have passed away
And left them-,chdt ,re see them no,o
And il is thns-is human love
sopery light and frail tl,ingl
And must youths brightestvisions move
Forever on times restless wingl
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk Of bliss,
And; a! the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come TO this?
Then what are loves best vision worth,
five at length must lose them thus
Hall we value most on earth,
Ere long mus, fade away from us7
Ofthat Que being whom we take

To allshe said, and for her sake
; Feelfar from JOY when far from her;
fthat one form which we adore,
- From youth to age, in bliss or pain,
Soon withers and is seen no more.
Why do we love, If love be vain?

Ell VeRpuGo-'lhe Executioner.'
PROMISES.

Promises are of two kinds, simple and nutu-
al. a simple promise is made by one party
only. II !. not conditioned on the promise of
any other man or body of men. A parent makes
a simple promise when he tells his shldren that
he Viii, at a future time, take them 10 ride or
visit the museum. a mutual promise is usu-
ally a contract, and consists in the promise Of
one party that he will do thus and thus, prnvi-
ded the other party Will do so and so. To which
the latter accedes and pledges himself
Embarrassment often arises from the eqnivO-
cal terms in which the PROMISE is expressed.
!! he same is true in no respect to ambiguous
declarations. Thus if boy keeps his eyes
shut. while his brother is doing mischevous
act, he may tell his parents he did not see his
brother do it. In one sense he did not see the
mischief done, but in another sense, which
is the one in which he knows his parents put
the question, he did see it. He was present
when the thing was done he was a witness To
it and this is what they mean, when they ask
ed him if he saw his brother do it. lie did not
see 1t with his naked eye; and by understand
ing their question in thus sense. he ilalters HIM
self he speaks the truth. Still he is guilty of a
lie. lie is put on his veraclty, he is expected
To answer honestly, he is supposed to be sin
cere, he virtually promises to represent things
truly; yet he practices deception, under cover
of an ambiguous word.
In the same manner promises are often
couched in ambiguous terms, either by design
or inadvertently so that the promlser may IN
sst on one sense, and the promisee on another.
BY what rule then are we 10 interpret these
ambiguous declarations and promises The
rule generally and Justly acknowledged Is, that
an equvocal promise is TO be taken III that
sense in which the promlser supposes that the
promlsee receives it. The same rule applies
To the Interpretation of mere declarations Thus
when prisoner is asked in court whether he
pleads guilty or not 10 the accusation, he may
lawfully plead not guilty, though he knows the
contrary to be the fact, for his language is am
biguous. HIS declaration is true IN the ,ense
in which it is received. The language is clip
teal, and means simply, do not acknowledge
myself to be guilty; put my a;cusers to the
proof.
A trader may innocently say that he cannot
sell his goods at less than given price, for he
does not mean, and is not thought to mean, that
it would bankrupt him to do so, nor that he
would make no profit, but that he IL warranted
by the market TO expect greater price.
On This principle alone can we excuse Iu'
ror for acquescins in the opinions OF his col

The clock of the little town of Menda had
ust struck midnight. At that moment, a
young French officer was leaning over the
parapet of a terrace which bordered the gar
dens of the castle of Menda, plunged in a
profounder depth of abstraction than seemed
habiual to the lhoughtlessness of military
life but never were hour, site, and circum-
stances, more proplious 10 meditation.
Above his head, the beautiful sky Of Spain
stretched its dome of dark azure. The
twinkling of the stars and the soft radiance
Of the moon cast capricious light over an
exquisite valley which lay in all its wealth
Of loneliness - his feet. Resting upon an
orange-tree in full blossom, the Young chef
dc.batallon could see, hundred feet below,
the town of Menda, which seemed to have
nestled itself for shelter from the north winds
at the foot Of the cliff on which the castle
was bnilt. Turning his head, he could be-
hold the sea, whose sparkling water enclosed
the landscape like broad belt of SILVER
The joyous confusion of sounds froma ball
the music of the orchestra, the laughter OF
some of the officers and their partners in the
dance, reached his ear, sofiened into harmo-
ny by the distance, and blended with the
far-olT murmer of the waves. The fresh
GOODNESS of the night infused new energy
into his frame, exhausted by the heat of the
day; while the gardens were planted with
trees so odorferious, and flowers of such
exquisite sweetness, that the young man
fancied himself, as it were, plunged in bail
of every delicious perfume.
The castle of Menda belonged to gran.
dee of Spair, who, at that period, was re-
siding in it with his whole family. During
the whole of this evening, the eldest of hi,
daughters had directed ncr looks towards the
officer with an interest blended with so deer
sadness, that the sentiment of pity express
ed by the beautiful Spanish girl might wei
have given rise to the young Frenchman'.
revery. Yet how dare to imagine the pos
sbiIiiy that the daughter of the most haugh
ty and fastidious noble in Spain could eve
be bestowed on the son of Partisan shop,
keeper
The French were held in detestaion. =
The Marquis, having been suspected by
General c., the governor of the pro,
vince, of being engaged in plotting an insur
recion in favor of ferdinand VII, the bat
talion, commanded by Victor Marchand
