LOVES ENDEAVOR,
BY C. D. STUART.

BY C. D. STUART.
Love is like the summer sunlight.
Over field and over flower,
Nursing out OF hardest bosoms
Gentle tokens OF its power;
But it will not live unanswered,
And forsaken as in pain,
And oh, vain is loves endeavor
That brings love not back again!
And the kingIy crown is heavy,
And the gold is only pelf,
Ii there is no reed unbroken
Where the heart may lean itself;
Where the heart may lean unwounded
Like the rose that drinks the rain,
And oh, vaia is loves endeavor
That brings love not back againl
AS the sunshine on the river,
AS the dew upon the hill,
And so the heart by love is strengthened,
And can bear the keenest i'll;
But the shadows chill the river
When the dew folgets the plain,
And oh, vain is loves endeavor
That brings love not back aganl

The Thirty-SecOnd Cengress.

Full delegations have been chosen to
the next Congress from eighteen of the
thirty-one States. These include the
three great States of New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio. As several months
intervene between the present ant any
of the coming Congressional elections.
j. seems suitable moment 10 review the
ground, 10 ascertain what has been done,
and to determine, as far as can be done,
what modification may be looked for
from the future. Party lines have been
so much disturbed Of late by the distract
ing sectional divisions, that il is difficult
TO assign the relative places Of some of
the members elect of the next Congress.
To obviate this we have arranged them
into four classes, Wings, Democrats,
Wing Free Soil and Democratic Free
Soil. Even this does not remove the
whole difficulty. We have placed in
the third column several members who
are reliably Whig upon all essential
questions, yet were elected as we class
them. There are other difficulties, of
less moment, in an attempt at classifica-
ton of such elements. The following
table viii, however, be found sufficient-
ly explicit for our purpose:

took place afew evenings since, between
one Of Elmira's fair daughters and q
young merchant of that place, which
runs thus: The merchant was speaking
of the excellent qualities Of young fe-
male friend of bis. and closed his re-
marks by observing that ''she was a
noble, generous hearted lady, and one
that was right here" accompanying the
last word with a gesture which bordered
near the heart Her reply was. .1udgei

Flowers OF FIoridn.

On the sides Of the most barren and
sterile slopes, growing in apparently
pure banks of sand, have found some
Of the most beautiful and complex pro
ductions OF nature--a delicate species of
the Cassia trails out its arms 10 the dis
tance Of several feet from the root: i,s
briers and leaves n,inutely and exquisite
iy formed, its stem rising bnt four or five
inches from the ground, the whole being
much the most sensitive Of any Of which
! have any knowledge; ON the slightest
irration at the root of one Of It's branches
every leaf will collapse, and on touching
the extremity of one OF its leaves the
plants viii droop and fall down for sew
eral inches towards the root. Ii bears a
small purple flower emitting sweet
odor.
Often found almost overshadowinr
this humble beauty is the gorgeous Pas
sion Flower; it trails over and along the
tops OF The herbs in its vicinity, and some
times reaches great height by climbing
aloit on more lusty neighbors, supporting
itself solely by its tendrils. Its splendid
and variegated flowers have been wrouph,
by nature in some mood Of her wildes,
fancy; il bears an oval gourd-like fruit,
OF which the Indians are very fond, bu,
The most singular part Of the plant, is the
astonishing complexity, regularity and
beauty Of its petals and stamens; they
are arranged with all the artificial nicely

them covering the grouad in most remote

the chances were that the foot Of man
had never been before.
On the banks Of streams, in mois,

The yellow jasmine bears profusion OF
flowers, scenting the air with its delight

Its stem is wreathcd into all conceivable

A Financial Operation.

TWO HONEST DUTCHMEN-woULD THAT
THERE WERE MORE SUCH MEN.
We lately heard story illustrative Of
the early days of York County Penn,
those good old times when every body
was "honest as the days were long"
The parties were two of the early set
tiers in the western part Of York (now
Adams) county--bosh were Of the hon.
est old German stock--and as one Of
them isrstill living, we suppress the
name. Peter, it appears, had increased
the size of his farm by annexing thereto
small tract adjoining; and lacked about
hundred dollars of the sum necessary
10 pay for the new acquisition. He cali
upon his neighbor, George, to borrow the
AMOUNT. George brought out an old bread
basket, and counted down the desired
number of s.thalers" and then, Of
courre, the two sat down to two large
earthen mugs of cider and as many pipes
of tobacco. After smoking over the mat
ter for while. it occurred to Peter, that
in similar transactions he had seen or
heard Of something like note passing
between the borrower and lenGer, and
he suggested as much to George. The
lender assented 10 the propriety of the
thiug-paper, pen and ink were 2rodu-
ced--and between the two a document
was concocted stating that George had
loaned Peter $lOO, which Peter would
repay to George in ssdree monts" three
months. This Peter signed, and thus
our two iinanciers had made the thing
all regular and ship-shape. But at this
point difficulty presented itself. They
both knew that notes were made in the
operations sof borrowing and lending
which they had witnessed--but neither
of them had observed what disposition
was made OF the document--neither
could Tell whether il was en- reggie for
she borrower or lender 10 take charge Of
the paper! Here was dilemma! AT
length, bright idea struck George.
"You haf de money to pay, Peter,--so
be sure you must take dis paper, SO as
sou can see as you haf 10 pay III! This
was conclusive-the common sense OF
the thing was unanswerable, and Peter
pocketed the money and his own note s,
$50 as he could see as he haf to pay
IL" Three months passed over; and
punctually to the day appeared our friend
Peter, and paid over the promised sum
TO George. This being done the pipes
and mugs were again paraded. Afler
putting while Peter produced the note.
and handed il TO George, with the re-
mark: ..Now you must take de note so
as you can see as &c money haf been
paid. We Workers must be trusted
