Gently chased by a mob from Frankfort.
1t seems that a gentleman near Bards-
town, Ky, who knew and confded in
Hardin, sent his daughter to Frankfort
TO the care of him, who was to obtain

lishment in that city, which trade she
desired 10 learn. But this monster in
human shape, placed her in 4 house of
bad repute, and by that means hosed to
seduce her. lie was frustrated in his
hellish attempt upon her honor, and
driven by a hooting mob from the city.
Hanging, would be punishment too little,

CH-cuiar-The United States have
conslmmated the pcriidy against
Mexico, by s%anctIoning the decree
which declares the annexation of the
department Of Texas TO that Repub-
lie. The injustice of that ururpa-
ton is apparent, and Mexico cannot
tolerate such a grave injury without
making an effort to prove to the Uni
ted States the possibility of her abll-
ily 20 cause her rights to be RESPECT

Government has resolved upon Il de

MY EARLY LOVE.

Midnight has closed around me now,
And earth is hush'd in slumber's rest;
sit alone with thoughtful brow,
With care and sorrow in my breast,
And muse upon the days gone by,
And sigh that Joy with time should fly.
How sweet and pleasant is the thought
or days that long have past,
When sad experience has taught
That pleasures cannot last
But the sad heart cIings to them yet
Those moments it can ne 'ey forget.
Though changed now is my bitter heart,
From pleasure led astray,
One feeling deep shall ne'er depart,
While mem'ry holds her sway;
And cherished in my Utmost mind
My early love shall lie enshrin'd
Although my life may linger still
In sad mislortune's bitter storm,
Until the hand OF death shall chill
The heart that now beats wild and warm,
The love that lit its early fire
Shall never in its light expire.
And though bright eyes may on me shine,
And fair and lovely forms float round me,
Their tender smiles can meier win mine
From the pure love that early bound me;
And though all hope has left my heart,
Its first warm love can ne'er depart.
IT'S strange that love should to me cling,
When Joy and hope aud pleasure shun me
That HOPELESS memory should take wing
To where those eyes fist smiled upon me;
Where'er pause, where'er move,
Sill cleaves to me my early love. G.

By the Author of the Book of Embroidery"
For HouSewiUeS.--We give a few re-
cepts, this month, in various little matters
of housewfery which, though simple, often
are forgotten and cannot be found when
wanted.
To, Cleanse Glores uithom TVetting.-
Lay the gloves upon a clean board, make
mixture of dried fulling-earth and pow
dered alum, and pass them over on each
side with a common stiff brush; then sweep
it off, and sprinkle them well with dry bran
and whiting, and dust them well; this, if
they he not exceedingly greasy, will render
them quite clean, but if they are much
toasted bread, and powder of burnt bone:
then pass them over with a wooden cloth
dipped in fulling earth or alum powder;
and in this manner they can be cIeansed
without wetting, which frequently shrnks
and spolls them.
To Sc0m Clothes, Coals, Pclis3s, &c.
If black, blue. or brown coat, tdry two
ounces of fulIer's earth, and pour. on it
sufficient boiling water to dissolveAn, and

half pint Of stale urine, and a little boil.
ing water; with a hard brush dipped in this
liquor, brush spotted places. Then dip the
coat in a bucket Of cold spring water
When nearly dry, lay the nap right and
pass drop of oil of olives over the brush
to finish it.
If grey, drab, fawns, or maroons, cut
yellow soap into thin slices, and pour water
upon il to moisten it, Rub the greasy and
dizzy spots Of the coat. Let it dry little,
ana then brush it with warm water, re-.
peating, Unnecessary, as at first. and use
water little hotter: rinse several times, in
warm water, and finish as before.
To Extract Grease Spots from SILKS and
;, Colored MuSlinS-Scrape French chalk,
put it on the grease spot, and hold it near
the fire, or over a warm iron, or water
plate, filled with boiling water. The grease
will melt, and the French chalk absorb it,
brush or rub it off. Repeat if necessary.
To take Stains out Of S1k.--Mix together
in phial, two ounces Of essence of lemon

the hair to virgin perfection upon those who have
been bald for years. Age, state or condition ap-
pears to be no obstacle whatever. 1t stimulates
the cutaneous vessels, causing the fund TO flow,
and tens of thousands, nay more, whose heads

their hair restored its natural color, by the use
of this first, best hair tonic, upon which you may
