And why has life no thrilling JOY.
Wherewith il could forever bless;
Mo heavenly sweets We could ENJOY
Without some moments Of disiressf
No tender, kind suspicious hour.
Devoid of sorrows ruthless s'rite,
That Knows NOT, nor would own the power
or this, the demon blight OF EteI
Whv. as our fleeing pleasures pass,
(which are at BEST on earth, but few
Are we constrained 10 say, alas
Each pleasure hath it's sorrow too?
Life IS but heterogeneous mass
OF strange incongruities at bsst;
Fen while its pleasures seem to pass,
secret sorrow wrings the breast.
And Memory, unto her task.
Alas! alas TOO douby true,
Fails not infinitely TO unmask
Our smallest troubles to our view
Fen when we are with those we love,
And pleasures act their every part,
The torturing thought will not remove,
That we, alas TOO soon must part.
The happiest moments of this life,
On which we ever love 10 dwell,
But flee amidst the sorrowing strife
And anguish of sad Farewell
And seem, as heavenly dreams, so fair,
So sweet, we meier could wish them less;
And sad thought loves to finger there,
Though In the heart be deep distress.
FAREWELL would not leave thee yet
And yet must, must away,
With deepest sorrow and regret
cannot, cannot longer stay!
linger yet-'tis hard TO part
TITS hard 10 break the thrilling spoil
That still delays this constant heart,
And yet dear love, Farewell! Farewell

MADAME KossUrH ON WoMEN's RIGHr's.
An address was presented in London, late
ly, to Madame Kossuih by depula,iop frorn
the "Socieiy for the Emancipation OF Wom-
ah." In an addition to an EXPRESSION Of
sympathy, this address contaired the wish
that the wife of the honored hero OF the day
would communicate 10 these ladies her sen.
timenls respecting their efforts TO achieve
the freedom of her sex. Madame Kossulh
replied that she .har..Ked them heartily for
this proof of. lhe'.f sympathy towards herself,
and, ihrougfi ,,er, more particularly towards
her couptry that, with respect TO hei own
views o.. the emancipation Of woman, she
had, IA earlier years, confined herself 10 the
clr'.le of her domestic duties, and had never
'1een tempted 10 look beyond il; and that
lalterly, the overwhelming course of events
had lef, her, as might be well supposed, still
less leisure for any speculation of this kind
it would, moreover--such was The codclusion
Of her little speech-be readily forgiven her,
the wife of Kossulh, man whom the gen.
eral voice, not more than her own heart
pronounced distinguished, if she submitted
herself entirely TO his guidance and never
thought of emancipation. The admirable
perlinence OF this reply will be dou5ly ap.
preciated, when il is mentioned that Mad
anne Kossuth was altogether unprepared fol

Mail Rontc TO Bloomsburg.

We observe that the Post Office Depart
mcnt does not invite proposals for carrying n
,ri.weekly mail between this Borough and
Bloomsburg, in accordance with the act e.
establishing such route, said to have been
passed at The close OF the Last session Of
Congress. We presume there mus; have
been some mistake in regard to the final
passage of the hll. and, therefore, as Con-
gress has again met, would il hot be well TO
again forward on petitions TO our members.

public convenience certainly demands lha,
something should be done. What say you
friends of the Star and Democrat, al Blooms
burg !-luney Lumtnary
For ourselves we certainly think that the
Post Office Department might dispense with
several mail routesin this neighborhood if a
direct communication between this place and
Muncy was effected, and thus perhaps save
money. The Department has given notice
thar proposals will be received for running a
weekly mail from here to Muncy, and if The
sum proposed for shall not be deemed too
large The proposition will be accepted. In
ahat event, the roule will be an extension oi

Conn, recently had farm for sale, and was

purchaser bought it "on speculation," paid
