Atar hon thee! The morning breaks;
But morning brings no joys to me;
Alas. my spirit only wakes J., e@-
: so know that / am far from thee:
In dreams saw thy blessed face,
And thou vert nestled on my breast;
In dreams felt thy warm embrace,
And to,mine own thy heart was press'd.
Afar from thee! IT'S solitude, -
Though smiling crowds around me be,
The kind, the beautiful, the good
For can only think of thee;
Of thee, thekindest, loyeIest, best,
My earliest, and my only one;
Without thee, am all unblest,
And wholly blest with thee alone.
Afar from thee! The words of praise
My istless ear unheeded greet;
What sweetest seemed in better days,
Without theeseem no longer sweet;
The dearest joy fame can bestow,
Is in thy moistened eye to see,
And in thy cheeks unusual glow,
Thou deem'st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee! The night is come,
But slumbers from my pillow fee;
cannot rest so far from home,
And my hearts home is, love, with thee!
kneel before the throne ofprayer,
And then know that thou art nigh;
For God, who seeth every where,
Bends on us both, His watchful eye.
Together in his loved embrace,
No distance can our hearts divide.
Forgotten quite the mediate space,
Ikneel thy kneel1ng form beside;
My tranquil frame then sinks to sleep,
But scars the spirit far and free;
o welcome be nights slumbers deep,
For then, dear love, am with thee.

YES" replied the little urchin, 'but

and the one before was my mother too, but
she died before was born.''

A CoLoEED CURIosirY.-We saw a
negro child on the dock, Saturday, two
years of age, whose head the longest way
measured Mirty-nine inches, and line
around the bulge Of the head above the
ears measured trenty-eight and half
inches.
The mother said the child was healthy
and uncommonly intelligent for its age.
The head would weigh as much as the
body, and was SO heavy that the mother
had to support it continually in her arms.
Whoever has the picture of yankee
Doodle'' will have just idea of the want of
proportion in this child.-PIain Dealer.

ed themselves with powder and balls bv
capturing them from the enemy. From
chihuahua to Matamoras, distance OF
nine hundred miles, they marched in forty
five days, bringing with them seventeen
pieces Of heavy artillery as trophies.
1kmust be confessed, that in many very
important particulars, these two expeditions
differ from each other. One was the
march of a conqueror, the other was the
retreat of an inferior force. One was
made on horseback, and the other on foot
in an inclement season Of the year. Ono
was made at an early age Of the world,
when military science was undeveloped; !;
the other was made with all the advantages
Of modern improvements. But our object
is not so much to draw comparison be-
tween these two expeditions as to notice the
circumstance that these two men, whose
names are in sound so similar, have each
performed the most wonderful march in the
annals of warfare. If Col Doniphan will
now initiate the example of Col. Xenophon,
and give to the world as charming and
perfect a history of his expedition as the
latter has done, mankind two thousand
years hence will admire and honor him.
