Have OF late made quite TOO free IN their
very common ercesses. But this is not so much
10 be wondered at, when we consider the dis
position Of our own citizens TO have something
new and extraordinary, abodto own city, and
especially if it can beplaced before our readers
by journal from a distant city, while II has
not been noticed BY one Of our own. If some
most marvellous affair that never took place,
and is never likely 10, should be published in

But there are some Of our inhabitants who
would rather have things stated about as they
exist, according TO ruth and facts ~ "A.
Lately our city has been represented as be-
ing unhealthy. This, perhaps, has not been
strictly in accordance with the truth. If we
compare our city with other places, we shall
find il is not more sickly than other places, or
more so than usual for this season of the year;
nor does the number Of deaths, or alarming
cases come up to, much less exceed, those Of
former years at this time. But these letter
writers must present the most alarming pic
ture Of every thing, TO makest paper ior
which they write. take with the people. Hence
some times if there is even the talk OF a battle,
! il is made to exist by correspondence. and then
corrected by mistake through correspondents,
and so the people like to have il. But we beg
Of you, letter writers, in trying to make SOME
THING out Of NOTHING, do not misrepresent our
city. We believe at this very time, It you
would only reflect, and then state the facl,
you would acknowledge that an evil, more 70
be feard than any fever or ague, or any other
fever among our citizens, is the traffic IN the
different kinds of intoxicating liquors among
lus. Ye scribblers, try your pens to draw
trighlful picture on this subject, and there IS
but little danger Of excess. et2iA se'SfN

THF HEARTS WINTER.


BYE. W. C.
" Though winter chill the blossom,
And check the budding flower,
The rose shall bloom in beauty,
And verdare clo,he the bower.
When the frost kings reign ia ended,
His white throne passed away,
New forms of beauty blended,
Shall own milder sway.
And swee,er in their fragrance,
And brighter in their bloom;
There Summer flowers shall blossom;
Upon a summers tomb.
But tfere are icy feuers.
Olher than bind the fields,
And there's frozen Chillness;
TO which the spirit yields.
For This no summer hastens,
And winds breathe in vain;
Joyless ihe changing seasons,
When winter Teigns within.

When age has cast it's shadows
O'er lle's declining way
Uhen evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day,
Then shall we sit and ponder
On The dim and shadow past.
In The hearts silent chamber
The guests will gather fast
Guests that in youth we cherished
Shall come to US once more,
And we shall hold communion
As in tho days before
They may be dark and som bre,
They may be bright and fair,
But the heart will have lis chamber,
The guests will gather there.
How shalt il be, my sisters.
Who shall be our hearts guests!
How shall il be, my brothers,
USen life's shadow on Us rests!
Shall we not mid the silence
Hear voices sweet and low,
Speak The OLD familiar language,
The word long ago!
Shall we no, see dear faces
Sweet smiling as OF old,
Till the mists OF that lone chamber
Are sunset clouds OF gold?
When age has cas-! lis shadows
Ger life's declining way,
And evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day.
