The Heart KnOWeth its own Eit.

The Heart KnowetIl its own R
terResS.
Things arc not what they seem to us.
Methought heard one say;
When mingIing in the festive thronc,
Where all scem'd bright and gay.
The cheerful face may oft conceal
The way-worn heart Of care,
And merry laughter echo out
The hidden souls despair.
Just then form was passing,
Amid the joyous throng,
With face all bright and beaming,
And soul inspiring ssng;
And on the brow deep intellect
And joyousncss seemed there;
All, here is happiness, | cried
No grief that smile could wear.
But then again, all mourntuHy,
Mcthough: the voice replied,
Heed not The smile, Ills mockcry,
Anaching heart to hide.
And wouIdst thou see that hidden heart
It's history unfold?
Then lift the veil and look uitIin;
Behold the secret soul!
And then, methought, the veil that hid
The heart, was "rent in twain"
And there saw what never more
Would behold again.
Pale memory. with fearful eye,
Sat brooding DER the past,
Where altar slenes in ruins lay,
And withcred hopes were cast.
Beside coftin-shrouded form,
Sorrow and Grief were kneellng
Where memory's mournful taper CLEANED,
All of the past revealing.
Idols, in shattered fragments lay,
In the DIM twilight there,
Bending DER urn OF buried hopes,
Sat pale and ivan Despair
Talc cypress flowers ard Uttered ycw,
Were scutl, red DER tomb,
Where once the brightest buds Of hope,
In II their beauty bl"omcd.
And low and ''hoilow murmurs'' came,
From within that coffin there,
Mingled with sorrows requium tone,
And The "alings Of Despair.
Oh! give me porcr to heal the heart,
My soul in anguish cried.
Power? it's not thine! all mortal, no.
But only HIS 1Dho died;
Do this, It's all that thou cunst do,

And Gdd not to the broken heart
In all lis bitter woe.
To weep with hearts, by anguish torn,

But, the moching heart, all Aotc can that,
The day of sorrow stand?
And they who break the bruised reed"
What vii! their portion be?
When sorrow comes like fearful storm,
Upon troubled sea?
But then again, why should the heart
Its anguish seek TO hide,
Ah, hnop you not it cannot bear

CoNTRIBUTIoNs FOR THE PopE-Efforts
have been made in Roman Catholic Chur-
ches Of the United States, as well as those
of England and Ireland, to raise sums of
money for the Pope. The New York Com
mercial gives the following extract from q
letter written by a person whose position
and whose impair: iality, it says. are guar
.anrees of the veracity Of his statements.
ROME, February %. IS49.
The knowledge that the Catholic chur.
ches oflreland are raising contributions for
the Pope, has excited here feeling Of pain.
full surprise. For what purpose! The pope
has never ceased to receive from the Pro
visional Government the full amount of his
salary or civil list, notwithstanding that,
since his desertion of his post, and his most
unexpected flight from Rome in November
last . he has neglected all his duties as
temporal prince. TO what object are these
sums O be devoted then! Could they be
placed in the hands Of MeIPoniif there is
little doubt. from the benignty Of his char
acter. that they would receive charitable
mission; but falling, Us they inevitably will.

The Bank of Saint CrOix.

The above caption will strike oddly
upon the democratic tympanum of Min
nesota. We will explain it, as far as
possible. Sometime in September last,
there came to Saint Paul, burly look
ing, middle aged man, of medium stat
ure, dressed in drab suit and wearing
4 drab colored fur hat, who called him
self Isaac Young, and represented that
he had formerly been a saddler in Ohio.
This man. closcted himself with Mr.
Sawyer, VINO was then III SAINT Paul, and
who is now in the pinery; and got Mr.
Sawyer to SIGN large number of hand
sonely engraved pieces Of paper; on
which were engraved the words Bank
of Saint Croix, Saint Paul, Minnesota. =
or something Of that purport Mr.
Young disappeared from Saint Paul
The next We hear Of MIR. Young, lie is
in Saint Louis, buying printing paper
and negotiating for goods to send to
Saint Paul. Notes of the ''Bank of
Saint Croix, at Saint Paul, are quoted
in the Eastern bank note lists al one rea
cent discount; the quotation being doubt
less furnished by some accomplish in the
fraud, living in Wall street, n. \ city.
| The notes so into circulation--how ex-
/ tensiyely, we cannot say; but inquiries
begin to be made as to the Bank Of
Saint Groin, . by those below who hold
the paper. Mr.. Young has not reap
peared in Saint Paul, and probably new
err will. Mr.. Sawyer, We learn, was
dupcd in this affair; being informed by
Young, that the pieces Of paper which
he signed as Cashier, would be promptly
redeemed when issued. Mr.. Sawyer,
we learn, finding what the real nature OF
! the transaction was. wrote an explana-
ton of his participation in it, aud carried
i, to the Chronicle Office fer publication
! but for some unaccountabfc reason, the
Chronicle did not sec fit to publish Saw
yer's letter.
Isaac Young, when here, was active
| in the affairs Of the Chronicle and Re-
gister, and said he was son-in-law of Ma
thaniel Mclean, publisher of that paper.
