SONG.


arvilI not tell you to forget me /: will not tell
vou to remember me !: DO as your heart Dictates.
FoncEr THEE: All, believe it not,
For that can never be;
Whate'er in life my future lot,
This heart must rest with thee.
The fullest throb that e'er may thrill
Its quivering depths was thine;
Lady, its purest puising still!
Swe!ls up before thy shrine.
Forget thee Though that lucid eye
But once had lighted mine,
Its sad, sweet gaze Of sympathy
Had made remembrance thine.
Fragrant and fresh as springs first aower,-
Soft as summer-sea,-
Pure as our childhood's evening prayer,
Would thy dear memory be.
Forget thee Fame her flowers may wreathe'
And pleasures siren lure;
Thy name remembrance still shall BREATHE
Love shall with life endure.
And when the goblet nantes high
When laugh and jest flow free
Ere wine hath stained the lip, I'll sigh
"Lady, health to thee!"
Forget thee Care the pulse may quell,-
Time may the temples bare
Still will the heart as fondiy sweA,
Years write no wrinkle there!
The lighiest smile that lip hath wreathed,
1t fingers wildly yeti
The softest sigh that breath hath breathed,
Ah,-how may FORGET!

alton Of Independence Yankee pedler started
down TO New York, to sell paacel of bowls
and dishes, which he had made of maple. Jon
a,han travelled over the city asking every body
TO buy his wares, but no one was disposed to
buy wooden dishes. 1t happened tina, Brit.
ish fleet was then lying in the harbor of New
York. and Jonathan struck upon plan of sell.
ing his dishes. So he got foil naval uni.
form, by hook or by crook, (for history don't
tell iwhere he got it,) and s,rutting up town
one morning, asked a merchant if he had any
nice wooden ware, that the Commodore want.
ed a lot for the feet. The merchant replied
that he had none or hand, but there was some
ia town, and it he would send in The af
ternoon. he could supply him. Very good
said our naval officer, and out he went. and
cut for home, and he had scarcely dofed his
borrowed plumage. before down came the mer-
chant who, seeing that Jonathan had sold none
Of bis ware, offered to take the whole if he
would deduct Is per cen,um; but Jonathan said
he'd be darned il he didn't take 'em home be-
fore he'd take cent less than his first price.
So the merchant paid him down in gold his
price fox the wooden ware, which laid on
his shelves for many long day thereafter;
and jonathan trot,ed home in HIGH plee at Tho
success OF his manevure, while tho merchant
cursed British officers ever after that.

Wonderful results Of Entcrprise.--The

the largest discounters of bills, were both
servants in the outset of their lives, and
BACKED their employers boots. The paper
Ahich they now discount, amounts TO four
khandred millions year. Almost all their
decisions are made by one of these men,
who is so familiar with his business. and
the responsibilities of business men, that he
runs a handful of acceptances through his
hands and pronounces upon them in less
time than a bank teller pays his bank notes
for check. The resources of the house
are so vast, that the Bank of England has

sented, and who will attend our political meet
ings, and show by his active zeal, that he is de-
termined to support the Republican party.
We have been greatly weakened by divisions
the past year. But these must be healed. We
must forget all sectional preiudices, and unite 10
a man in support of the whole Ticket.
There is no candidate now before the electors
on whom the Democrats can unanimously unite,
except Maj. Dewart man of kind and gentle
manly department, and of highly popular talents,
( He is fully competent and, feel assured,
( that should he be elected, he will take great

The ceremony took place at the Church Of
the Ascension, on Fifth Avenue, and was per-
formed by the Right Rev. Bishop Onderdonk,
assisted by the Rev. DR.. Bedell, the Rector Of
the church
The wbole affair was conducted with the
utmost privacy, at the request of the brides ia.
mily, from melancholy considerations which
will be duly appreciated. Excepting at the
marriage ceremony, the family are still in
mourning.
There were present at the nuptials, the mo-
ther ond younger sister of the bride, Miss Le-
gare, daughter Of the late Secretary of State,
two daughters of Post Master General Wick
life, Col. Graham and lady, John Tyler, Jr., and
brother of the bride.
The Bridesmaid was the younger sister above
named, and the groomsman her brother.
The Lady of the President is twenty-five
years OF age, and one of the most lovely and
accomplished heresses Of our city.
In her form and personal appearance, she is
beautiful. At her marriage, she was robed
simply in white, with gauze veil depending
from circlet OF white flowers, wreathed in
her hair,
The President accompanied by his son, John
Tyler, Jr., Captain Newton, of the late il!-fated
Missouri, and one or two other naval officers

After the nuptials at the church, the cortco e
consisting Of FIVE carriages. that of the Pres
dent being drawn by four horses, drove to the
residence of the GARDENERS in Layfayette Place
where they took dinner.
