FALSE vows.

FALSE vows.
Years have gone by since first felt
The power that in thy glances dwet,
And knew loves sweet emotion;
The fire that in my bosom burned.
In thine, fondly thought returned
With true and deep devotion.
But time has shown how vain the thought,
And with its rapid flight has Brought
But grief, and pain and signing;
Yet from my heart cannot tear
Thy FORM that still is pictured there
In coion all undying.
How true was |. how false vert thou.
IT'S alone can answer now
The parting word is spoken.
All was it not enough to know
That one fond heart for thee could glowF
The heart that thou hast broken
Those visions of my early years
Have fled and brought me nought but tears
And passion unrequited;
The yunshine of my-life is past,
nespair's dark clouds are gathering fast
Upon my soul benighted.
The sun that lights to-monow's skies,
Upon broken vow shall rise.
Upon heart forsaken
Though brightly on the world he CLEANS,
Within my soul his glowing beams
No spark of hope awaken.
Yet memory still shall bring thy form
With all its radiant beauty warm,
When every JOY has persisted.
When friends have gone, and pleasures fled,
When all my hopes on earth are dead.
Fen then it shall be cherished. VIsIONAIRE,

OYSTER Waffle Baltimore American learns
from gentleman just arrived from the Eastern
Shore of Virginia that serious collision took place.
a few days since, in the neighborhood of Drum
mondtown between the citizens of that section
and number Of depredators from Philadelphia.
The facts are these: A fleet of some twenty boats
from Philadelphia recently entered that quarter of
the Bay and commenced taking oysters from the
Virginia banks with dredging machines, in direct
violation of the known laws of the State, which
prohibit that mode of taking oysters, under
penalty of $3.50, and in open defiance of her local
authorities The people whose rights were thus
invaded determined finally to take the matter In
their own hands, and to drive the marauders from
their shores or aid the authorities in arresting them
Accordingly five small boats were manned and
armed with two pieces of cannon. thus prepared
the Virginians came upon the Philadelphia feet
and an engagement ensued, in which one oyster
man was killed and mast Of one of their schooners
cut away by cannon shot. The fleet was then
driven into the mouth of creek, where the Vir-
ginians succeeded in taking ninety of the party
prisoners, whom they conveyed to Drummondtown,
in Accomac county, where they were lodged in jail
By some informality in the original warrant the
legal proceedings quashed. but the magistrates
had issued new process, and strenuous efforts
were making TO bring the aggressors to justice. In
the course of the slirmish one of the Virginans
was shot, the ball entering near the mouth and
coming out al the side of the head, carrying away
one of his ears. Our informant states that great
excitement prevailed throughout the neghborhood
of DrummondtOwn

NIAGARA FALLs.-The Iris, of a recent date,
says that for some weeks past the winter scenery
at the Falls has been surprisingly beautiful, and
quite beyond description. On the perpendicular
banks are suspended large cicles of the most fanc
full shapes, which are white as alabaster, and APP
pear at distance like magnificent columns. But
the most beautiful sight is the spray CONCEALED
upon the surrounding trees and shrubs. Every
branch is incrusted, and berries upon the shrubs
are balls of ice. 1t seems like forest of coral,
glitterng with hanging diamonds and of dazzling
Whteness.
