THE VIOLET.

l love all things The seasons bring,
All buds iha, s'art, all birds that sing,
All leaves from While TO je,;
All the sweet woIts ,ha, summer sends,
When she recalls her fl VERY friends,
But chiei-lhe vioet!
love, how much love The rose,
On whose soft lips the south wind blows,
In pretty amorons lhreai
The lily paler Than the moon,
The odorous, wonderous world OF June,
Yet more-tbe violet!
She comes, the first, The iairest Thing
That Heaven upon The earth DOH fling
Ere win'er's star has set;
She dweils behind her leaiy screen,
And gives, as angels give, unseen;
So, love-the violet!
What modest thoagh,s the violet teaches,
What gracious boon the vlole breaches,
Bright maiden, ne'er forget;
But learn, and love and so depart,
And sing lhou, with Thy wiser heart,
"Long live the violet"

Fag-cnds and Factions.

In our country, the very nature OF things re-
qures hat rherc should be two great parties A
republican form OF Government would become
corrupt, were it possible that all should think
alike, in regard to the policy of the admlnlstra-
tlon. But if Two parties are necessary to sustain
the Government in its puIity-soInething else is
requisite to sustain the party. Truth Of prlncl-
pies and honesty of purpose are sind qua non,
and unless party has some sound measures of
policy-some strong hold upon the affections of
the People, few years at most, must witness
iieir rise and fall.
Tie party supporting General Taylor is one of
those, which is not bound together by single
principle or measure of policy. Composed Oith
fsg.ends and factions Of all the nondescript or al
ia, paries that have ever risen or ialen it is held
together only by desire for the spoils. Native
Americanism, free soil, Federalism, whiggery,
Sr SC, &c, compose the party which last fall
through rickery and rascality succeeded at the
poII'. They gathered round centre, like small
ptrcles Of dirt round a swiftly moving body
but now when the motion, as it were, has ceased

Mrs. Memans-Mer Marriage

A late number Of BiacGwOOd, on Mrs. Helnaps,
contains some very interesting particulars of her
private history. The following s an extract
"Not long after the first publication of
her poems, the next great event of her life
took place-her Introduction to Capt.
Hemans. "The young poeless was then
only fifteen; in the full glow of that radi-
ant beauty which was destined to fade so
early. The mantling bloom of her cheeks
was shaded by proiusion of natural ring
lets Of rich, golden brown; and the ever
varying expression of her brilliant ewes,
gave a changeiul play to her counlenance,
which would have made it impossible for
any painter to do justice to it. No wonder
that so fair a creature should excite the
admiration Of gallant captain. And the
love on both sides was ardent and sincere
for Captain Hemans,sOon after their intro
duction, was called upon to embark with
his regiment for Spain. On his return in
1872, they were married. Of their domcs-
tic happiness or unhaPPiness, nothing is
said, but six years after, in 1918, we are
simply told that the Captain went to Rome
and never returned. The separated pair
never met again.
TO dwell on this subject says her
bographer, 'wouId be unnecessarily pain
full; yet it must be said, nothing like per-
manent separation was contemplated at the
time, nor did it ever amount to more than
a tacit conventional arrangement which
offered no obstacle to the frequent inter-
change of correspondence, nor to a con-
slant reference to their father in all thipcs
relating to the disposal Of her boys. But
years rolled on seventeen years of abb
scnce' and consequently alienation: and
from this time to the hour of her death,
Mrs. llcmans and hey husband never met
again"

Mr.. EDITOR -
You undoubtedly recUllect the
frightful stage accident which happened short
distance below your town, during last winter
There was, il my muIaOTy serves me, at the time
some difficulty or dispute about the location of the
road leading from the bridge near the mouth of
Flshngcreek to BlOomsburg. Different views
aud opinions were held and entertained in regard
to the site. With this dispute have nothing to
do. Whether the road should run directly, in as
straight line as possible, from the creek to town
or whether it should run up the Canal, will not
give an opinion.
But, Mr.. Editor, would most respectfully ask
your attention to few facts A few days since
passed again along this disputed road, and saw to
my utter astonjshment, that it was contemplated
to cross the head race, to Messrs. Boon, Colt and
Hopper's Mill ,thrce several times, IN distance

cesSity for crossing it more than once, and then

the fashion Of lhsdeuS Stevens Tape worm.
Add to all this the fact, that the Bridges they
are putting up, are at the most not more than half
as wide as they should be, and so located that it
is from the nature of the road, next to impossible
to strike them fair with horse and buggy, let

when they can reach the same point in one.
Running the road IN its present course, cannot
certainly be, IN order to save land for it takes up
a great deal more than would be required, if the
road ran immediately up the right bank of the
aforesaid headrace. II would make the road
straight and safe and convenient, Not indeed as
much so as It could be made, but more than it is
