Where beats the fond heart Gghtes,, ID

Where is the hour Of sadness

Worth more than those Of gladDess,
Which mirth's gay cheeks sdorn.

While shcf itself hath sweetness =.

THEN dost thou sigh for pleasure,
Oh do not widely roam,
But seek that hidden treasure
AT home--sweet home,

Wouldsi thou that she should arm thee

very great, 50 much SO, that the worst cases have
been entirely cured in two or three days Persons
troubled with this complaint have only to use these

Proprietors to be applied 10 the giving Of them to
the poor, which is daily done. Certificates with.

In the meantime the interests of the next
and succeeding Indian accounts will turn
exclusively upon the Sikh war. The March
mail bring the details of another, perhaps of
several bloody engagements between our
forces and the Sikhs. The best must be
hoped for; the worst is possible.
Poor, PROSTATE, subjugated Poland, the
Ireland of the Continent, has been making
a frutless, bootless effort at Revolution,
or as the failure of national patriotism is al
ways termed an Instruction.
The little Republic of Cracow, which is
now in possession Of the Austrian troops,

nate attempt to restore the nationality OF

be imputed; and further, that although the
calamity of war would be looked at by all
with the utmost possible aversion, by none
would it be regarded with apprehension or
alarm.
Lord AsHBURToN felt sure that all which
caution and prudence required in this nego-
tlatlon would be observed by his noble
friend, and that the honor of England would
not be furnished. When he looked at the
probability of two countries like England
and America rushing madly into war, on a
question in which nothing was at stake but
their honor, he could not for a moment
doubt that, whatever might be the ebuliton
of popular feeling here or in the United
States, the sterling good sense which espe-
cially characterized these two countries
would prevail, and preserve both from that
ultimate alternative which he could not con-
template without feelings Of the utmost
horror.
He held it to be hopeless for either to
seek to obtain advantage over the other in
what were called the terms of negotiation
The only question was, how to settle this
disputed right in the manner which would
be best for the two nations. The negotia-
ton could not be in better hands than those
of his noble friend, and he felt also, on the
other hand, confidence that the people OIL
the United States would at least come to {
fair, an honorable, and safe conclusion or
the subject.

RioT At ANNAPOLIS. We find the follow
ing paragraph in the Annapolis Republican,
and while we regret the occurrence, we hope
it will not be without its proper effect on those
thoughtless and dsorderly youngsters who too
often mar the pleasure of respectable citizens
on excursions from this city;
In JAIL We have before bore testimony to
the orderly conduct Of visters from the Monu-
mental city, and we now regret exceedingly to
say, that our worthy and efficient Mayor, was
compelled through sense of duty, to have ar
rested and committed to Jail, three young men,
who came here in the steamboat COLUMBIA"
on Thursday, for riotous and disorderly con-
duct. 1t is due, however, to the large and re-
pectable number Of ladies and gentlemen, who
arrived here in the "ColumOia," which was
chartered for the benefit of the Male Orphan
Asylum, attached to ST. Vincent de Paul's
Church, most audable and charitable object,
to say, that these young men formed no part Of
their company, that they had got on board
without their knowledge or consent We with
hold their names, as we have no disposition to
wound the feelings ofany one. We hope this
will prove warning 10 all ili-disposed persons,

OK BEING PRESENTED EY HER WITH ROSE BUD.
How like the rose bud which you pIucked,
From off its native tree,
And which you gave with friendships hand,
A fragrant gift to me;
Are those fair hues of loveliness,
That cluster round thee now,
And stamp grace upon Thy cheeks,
glory on thy brow.
But soon the spoilers breath will blight
The glory of that flower;
Its tender leaves will droop and die,
A victim TO his powe':
And so alas! must fade the hues
That cluster roHRd thee now
Disease will pale thy glowing cheeks,
And dim thy blooming brow.
How like the glorious perfume, which
Within that rose bud lives,
Imparing, though unseen, a charm,
Its beauty meier could give:
Are those deep. felt, yet nameiess charms
Thy virtues round thee Irvine,
Which make US feel il were not sin
To kneel at such a shrine.
And yet that rosebud will retain
Its perfume through its bloom:
And when its leaves sra dimmed and dead,
Twill sanctfy its tomb.
So may thy virtues throughout life,
New joys each day impan,
And sweeIly bind when thou art gone,
Thy memory 10 our heart. Cay.
