TO MRS. N. OF ARKANSAS COUNTY. Think not, beloved time can break, The spell around US cast; Or absence from my bosom take The memory of the past My love, is rot that silvery mist, From summer blooms, by sunbeams kissed Too fugitive to last fadeless flower, it still retains The brightest of its early stains To me, though bathed in sorrows dew, The dearer far art thou, loved thee when thy woes were few, N hy should l alter now' That face, in joys bright hour, was fair, More beautiful since grief was there, Tho somewhat pale that brow And be it mine to soothe the pain Thus pressing on thy brow and brain. Yes love, my breast at sorrows call Shall treInble like thine own;
 Ii from those eyes the tear drop fall, It shall not fall alone
 Our souls like heavens srial bow, Blend every light within ;;iAeif glow, Of joy or sorrow known
 And grief, divided with thy heart, Were sweeter far than joy apart. LEO.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON SATURDAY

DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON SATURDAY.
 In another column, will be found the proceedings of the mass meeting of the Democrats of Pulaski county. in this city, last Saturday. The meeting was large one; and was composed, we believe, of citizens from every portion of the county. A fine spirit pervaded the meeting and characterized its proceedings We have never attended any meeting which manifested a more patriotic unanimity of feeling and purpose Every item of the proceedings was adopted unanimously; exeepttwo-tae preamble and the 4h resolution, and each of these received only one dissenting vote. Such unanimtv speaks well for the Democracy of Pulaski; and, being maintained, will insure them success in whatever they undertake The Whigs have made large cal culations upon the divisions and dissensions in ranks; and are, even yet, making desperate and most unworthy efforts, to SOW diseord among us The meeting of last Saturday ought to satisfy them
 that such efforts are as ruitless they disrepu table, and will end in failure to their authors as surely as they have been conceived in iniquity.- We happy to say to our brethren throughout the State that the Democrats of Pulaski are united; and will, al our ensuing elections, make an undivided determined, and successful onslaught upon our federal opponents. We go for measures here, and not for men; supporting men only as the represent atves of our principles, and for the purpose of complaining our measures.
 Several appropriate and interesting speeches were made on the occasions and the business of the meet ing was closed by call for speech from the Chair man,--which call was responded to in short but eloquent address in which National Bank, and the Distribution of the proceeds of the public lands ably discussed

DROWNED MAN FouND-In the account, furnish ed last week. of the loss of the steamer Arkansas, it was stated that one fife lost. The individual drowned was deck hand on the boat and his name is unknown. We learn, by the steamer Eveline- which reached here, from Van Buren, on Monday last, that the body of the drowned man has been found. As the Eveline neared the mouth of Fourche Lefevre, about 30 miles above Little Rock the keeper of wood yard had discovered the dead body and was engaged in taking it from the water. The boat immediately rounded to, and gave all necessary aid and attention. The body was appropriately buried Capt Pennywit, who was passenger and Capt Irwin of the Eveline, themselves bearing it to the grave. It is due to Capt. Pennywit's kind and liberaty to state also, that he took upon himself all the expense of the interment.
 As the only means of enabling any surviving friends of the drowned man to identify his person and learn his fate, we copy the following memo randum of the marks which were observed upon him. made in India ink, after the fashion of sailors "On his right arm, there were-a Ship, Heart, and the letters I. P. H; and on his left there were Indian in the attitude of shooting an arrow from bow, and the letters M. E.''
 The face, and some other portions of the body. were black, much swollen, and apparently bruised.
 MR. CA.HouN-has certainly accepted the ap- pointment of Secretary of State; and, by this time, has entered upon it's duties.

AN ACT OF FEMALE HERoIsM-It does not often become, the proud task, of the pub- lie Journalist, to record u more heroic ac than the following: On the 22d instant, a Mrs. Steward, of our county and her niece young girl, were fording Frog Bayou near this town, (Van Buren) on one horse, in company with her daughter, young lady, who was riding another horse. While in the act of fording this stream, Mrs. S. and her niece were thrown, and the little girl iioated down the stream some fifty yards. Miss Steward, the daughter who was riding alone, very coolly rode out to the opposite bank, sprung from her horse into the stream, and swan after and rescued them both, bearing them safely to the shore. She was compel led to swim near fifty yards after the little girl-who is the daughter of our worthy neighbor, Captain William Steward, of this county.

THE STATE CoSvENTIoS-will assemble in this city on Monday next, 18th instant. Until very re- gently, we had feared that the Convention, if held at all, would be small one. Late indications, how ever. give assurance that it will be well attended, We sincerely hope, and now believe, it will repre- sent majority of the counties in the State: and coming together under circumstances of more inte- rest and excitement than the one in December, it will probably more certainly reflect the will of the Democratic party Union, harmony and concession, in onr somewhat divided party being the objects for which it has been called, those who compose it should, snd doubt not, will hold those desirable objects constantly in view, and act with exclusive reference to their accomplishment. Let this be done as it ought to be done, and will be done by ev cry patriot, and Democracy has nothing to fear in Arkansas. She has the strength and can keep it :; and the most honorable success, in the coming con- tests will crown our efforts. We await, with some anxiety we confess, yet with perfect confidence in its wisdom, the action of the Convention, and stand pledged and prepared to abide and second its decis
 ions. We know our duty, and as Democrat, shall do it. Let all others do likewise.
