TO CAROLINE.

Ah, we have parted! Weary Time must roll
Tie leaden couse for many an anxious hour,
Before again thy presence ereets this SOUL
And yet thou seemeh here--fos Mem'ry's powe
Proelaims thee with me, wheresoeer thou art!
Still dost thsu live within this soul Of mine,
Clinging around that ever faithful heart,
Whose every ,hrob would tell thee--ii IS thine.

As now au Ia Spirit! could the breeze
OF evening wan Inc on its bosom free,
How soon would every pang of absencs cease!

Or wMa those mstchlcss ebon trsssss sport.
Even ons row Of him who loves thee--Spesk!
on do they lie, this ,crrowing boson's wall,
Emblem's Of thy swn spotless purity!
On do Ibresshe TO them the tender tale,
In fond reliance hey wall bear it thee!
will not covet then the heavenly bliss
Or being near th'e--bres,hng on Thy brow
II they will bear tothee one rsptured kiss
Which Thaddeus thy plighsed. sends thee now
Dear Caroline! how desolate each scene!
Each gay resort each walk we loved 30 well,
Has lost its charms and late where Joy hs III ben.
The phantoms Of departed pleasures dwell
Whilst thou vert lear me, gloomy was the day
That lid not emile to me! but now thourt gone
Sad and dispirited.he cheerless ray,
That struggles urthwsrd from the brightest sun!
Life is not life without thee! desrer far

And Hone still plnmcrs as the bacon star
That poiats th' hour tina, thou wilt bs my bride:
Oh, for that houII live, and that alone
A momsnt which requitss the pangs Of years!
Then haste thee Time! thy courses hasten on,
And dissipstea lovers anxious fears!

TIE RESTRICTIVE PoLrey.-When Mr..
Jeffrson was Secretary of State under
Geieral Washington, he made Report on
Commercial Restrictions. in which he ex.
pessed his willingness TO adopt the princ-
pes of Free Trade, if other nations would
LAY the game fairly and honestly with US.
He thought we must try them one by one,
and added the following emphatic Ian
guage:
But should any nation. contrary to our
wishes suppose it may better find its advan-
tage by continuing its system of prohibi-
lions. duties, and regulation, j, behooves US

THE SECOND LooK--Perhaps there is no
neater compliment ever paid to q lady than
the second look of a strange passing gen
lleman. The first glimpse of beautiful
face or form is SO attractive that a man

resist the temptation of taking a second
look ere it vanishes from MIN, perhaps for.
ever There is an mate desire in us all to
feast our eyes upon the beautiful of earth,
and lady possessing fine form. beautiful
rosy cheeks, pouting lips, and neat little
hustle, must not become vain by the con.

in the many second looks that will be caught
of her by the most polished and genteel.

JuaoRs.-The extreme difficulty Of procuring
the attendance Of jurors and witne in the City
Courts, is matter which must arrest the attention
of the authorities, as it has caused considerable
expense and inconvenience to suors in the Courts,
and protrac'ed the trials good deal. In the Su
perior Court, in particular, this evil has operated
most nurously to the interests of the suitors and
has delayed several cases thar had been set down
for trial. The hint given to delinquent witnesses,
by Judge Vanderpoel on Friday, who stated "tha
in all cases where it could be shown satisfactorily
that witnesses absented themselves without suffi-
cent cause, they could be held responsible to the
full amount Of the injury such absence may cause
to the parties in the suit, well be held liable
to penalty by the Court" should have the desired
effect; and we apprehend few examples would
insure proper punctuality as to abate the evil
In the Common Pleas, some days during its re-
cess, the Chambers were crowded with delinquent
urors,who were all compelled to pay their hnea.
