TO MISS e, OF NATCHEZ.
WRITTEN IN A scHooLMATE's ALBUM.
Years, years have flown since first we met.
In childhood's happy hour
Fer we had known one deep regret,
Fer care had wrung one fearful shower.
1t is bright enchanting spot,
On which with mental view | gaze;
One which no heart e'er yet forgot
The sporting scenes of childhood's days.
hear again the swelling notes
Ofsong, and mrthful laughter. rise
And backward, backward, memory floats,
To smiling lips, to gentle eyes.
To many dear and warm caress-
10 many loved word scftly spoken.
10 many kind hands cordial press
To many a sweet tie cold or broken.
sport again meath that broad shade
tread once more those well-known halls;
The rustic school-house where we played
All, all, nv saddened heart recalls.
Ger the shady grape-grown bowers.
And little brook which rippled past,
Ger Roseland with its myriad flowers,
For me a ceaseless charm is cast
Twas there l saw thee, loved thee first
Twas there our happest days were spent
Twas there in sickness | was nursed,
While DER my bed thy mother bent
But why should recall again
Those days of joy-forever flown!
Why wake the heart to care or pain,
Why breathe the names of friends now
gone?
need not say what we hare felt
Nor speak of hopes and joys long fed
Nor turn to tombs where we have knelt,
In yoiceless woe beside the dead.
No, no, there still is much to love-
Around US still are paths Of hope.
The skies are beaming bright above,
And wooing scenes before US ope.
So let US smile while vet we NAV,
And dry the tear-suppress the sigh.
And if we can-be glad-e'en gay,
Whilehop and youth and friends are nigh.

As modest as gentle as graceful and fair

And willingly bowed to its unconscious sway
An influence brighter than iashings of day.
When heard thy soft tones float meltingly
near,
They seemed like melody known to my ear,
They woke in my bosom new thrilling fear;
As they grew to my soul enchantingly dear.

And saw him smile on thee his young happy

sore
No future can gladden. its innermost core.

It's sweet dream is broken, its last love is Ger.

Abolition Speculation on Texas.

We clip the following from the True Dsha
Of the sth instant
A philadelphia dispatch Of the nth says
At the Board to-day, 81 1900 Texas regular
eight per cent scrip were sold at 40, which is n
material advance This movement is caused by
the passage of the Texas Boundary Bill
This grand speculation on claims against
Texas is founded on the presumption that
Texas will accept the proposition contained in
the Boundary Bill, in which event the Northern
Abolitonists know that it will be as good as
Ten Millions Of Dollars in their pockets out Of
the Federal Treasury, II may be as well for
them TO hold on awhile When the PEOPLE
speak, Frce-sosm may not be so rank in
Texas as The action Of her late extraordinary
Legislature would seem to indicate.
