ROMANTIC AFFAIR.-A few nights since
a romantic affair took place between a gen.
tleman belonging to the navy, and young
lady to whom he had become attached
The latter is The neice ola wealthy gentle
man residing on Brooklyn Heights, and is
likely 10 be his heir. 1t appears that the
motives of the gentleman, who had conclud-
ed to eiope with the young lady, were sus-
pected by her friends. The time and place
were arranged, but the uncle became aware
of the plan, and while the lover and his
friends were loverins about the house, they
received polite invitation from the uncle
TO come in the font door, la straightfor-
ward way After this was done, the uncle
stated to his neice that il she was determn
ed 10 marry against bis wish, and at The ex-
pense OF the fortune be intended 10 leave
her, she might do so, and the ceremony
could take place immediately beneath his
roof. The neice and the gentleman al once
accepted the offer, and were married on the
spot.-N. Y. Tribune.

Examiner says:-sIt is an indisputable fact
that vast portion OF our population are thor
oughly dissatisfied with the working of our
legislature, and with the management of the
executive, as controlled by Parliament.-
This is no ephemeral feeling-no traasitory
belief. A great body OF our people are per-
manenlly imbued with the opinion, thal gov
erament, as carried on in this country, is far
too expensive and extravagant-ihatt taxa
ion is al once heavy and unequal; that the
constitution, in Church and State, is charged
to the full with absurdiiies, anamolies, and
s!ieviences; that in the practical working oil
that constitution there is too frequently seen
one law for The churchman and another lDl

other Tor the poor; that, in short, with all the
advantages which can be pointed out, a.

ROUGH AND READY SONG.

AIR-Carryme back to Old Virginia.
The times have been when honest men
Were at the bead of the state,
But scheming knaves and party slaves
Have been in luck of late;
But clear the track for brave old lack,
From the north to the southern shore,
And honest men viii rule again,
As they did in days of yore.
Then join the throng with shout and song
For Taylor rand Fillmore,
And brave old lack will bring us back
The good old times of yore.
o James K. Polk! we thought il joke
In eighteen forty-four,
When you were named for President,
BY your friends at Baltimore,
But we'll look cut what were about,
Before 1t gets too late,
And we'll have no such cruel joke
Played off in forty-eight.
Come join the throng, &c.
o Lewis Cass! what silly ass.
You made yourself appear,
When the Cleveland boys made such a noise,
That the people could not hear,
When old Judge Wood on the rostrum stood,
And pat flea In your year.
Your voice got weak and you could not speak
For you quaked all DER with fear.
Come join the throng, &c.
o Lewis Cass! You ne'er can sit
In the Presidential chair;
For circumstances won't admit
Of your attendance there.
And little Mat, you're down so fiat
You meier can rise any more;
So, up Salt river pilot Cass,
| For you've been there before.
Come join the throng with shout and sons
For Taylor and Fillmore,
And brave old lack will bring us back
The good old days of yoTe.
