THE HEAD AND THE HEART.
BY ROBERT JoSSELYN.

Said the Head to the Heart one night
As dozingly sat by the fire,
Watching the kinding, cracking wood,
Till it Enlightened the gloom of my bachelor room
With blaze still brighter and higher
With sudden start, said the Head to the Heart,
Let US quit this desolate life,
Let US look around for wife,
think it is wisdom's part"
And the lone heart sadly sighed,
And IN mourntul tones replied
why should we look around7
Where shall the priceless gem be found?
warm and loving one,
hopeful, trusting one,
A fond and faithful one,
Quick to comfort and slow to blame,
Humble and modest in wealth and fame,
Ours IN poverty, sorrow and shame
Through the changeful years,
In smiles and tears,
Ever the same, ever the same!"
"Pshaw stuff" said the Head,
Nobody ever would wed,
II every Heart was like you,
Waiting and thinking to find
What Providence never designed
woman unchangeably kind
Gentle, consistent, and true.
am weary and sick of delay,
am weary and passing away,
How long have waited how often debated
his troublesome matter with you.
hsch Whewi
Ill tell you what will do
Wen mary widow or maiden old
With lands, and servants, and houses and gold,
And when we are married you know
Hurrah for the splendor and show
Plenty OF treasure plenty of leisure
Plenty OF pleasure, all without measure
Say, Heart shall ii be so 2"
But the stubborn Heart said, mo!
No! no'
There silence for while,
But over the face of the beautiful Head
There fitted meaning smile;
And then once more it said,
In a haunting tone, II thought you had grown
a little wiser by this.
Fray tell me what you have gained by all
our truth and devotion, but wormwood and gall
Where Is your ong-sought blissl
\ GU ever have loved in vain.
With anguish, modification and pain
DO you wish to be cheated again and again,
10 be fooled and betrayed with kiss7"
A thrill shot through the Heart
1t glowed with furnace-heat
And its pulse, with a spring as it felt the sting.
Flercely and madly beat
But the tempast soon passed by,
And ca m as summers sky,
The Heart made soft reply:
u know have waited long:
know have suffered wrong;
But my spirit still is strong
Strong TO hope, and strong to bear,
Scorning to deceive
Ready ever to believe
Sinking never in dispair.
thus I've lived, and thus I'll die"
We'll done, brave Heart" said l.

WHERE WILL THEY STOP I've feel dismayed
and dsheartened at the insensibility of the people
of the South to the dangers which surround and
menace them. Day after day, as the waves of ag-
gression approach, they recede from their posi-
tion-have become weaker and weaker, until at
length they have scarcely foot of ground to
stand upon in defence of their honor and institu
tons 1t is a mournful truth, that the Southern
mind has relapsed from the just position which it
entertained upon the subject of Its wrongs twelve
months since. We fear it is rapidly sinking to
that apathy of indifference from which it will not
be awakened until some overwhelming calamity
overtakes us-and all will be lost
We should like to be informed at what point the
submission tendencies of our people are to stop =?
Are they to end on this side OF an absolute reduc-
ton to unqualified slavery? How many violations
of compromise, which to be held sacred,
will it require to make out case OF resistance .
The first, the second and the third have already
occurred, but we are told must wait for the
nert The next is always in the future-will it
ever come
Agitation has not yet ceased. The Fugitive
Slave Law is not respectful is daily eluded or
openly set at defiance by armed mobs in the cities
Fifteen thousand slaves have escaped from. their
masters, yet out of this large number, not fifteen
have been restored to their owners since the en-
actment of the law. A wonderful boon indeed,
after all the sacrifices to which the South has been
subjected Thousands of Petitions were poured
upon the late session of Congress, asking for
peal of the fugitive slave act-societies about
being formed in every town in the New England
States, for the purpose of resisting all attempts
the part of the citzensapf the South to recover
their property. Nothing will satisfy these men
until the slave power is overthrown, and in their
own cant phrase, the Federal Government placed
on the side of freedom.
1t is idle. nay worse-for looking to the effect
upon the safety of the South. it is positively crm
nal to conceal the fact that the Freesoi party are
gaining strength and popularity at the North.-
With such palpable evidence before them, the SUBJ
mission party should no longer tamper with their
convictions, and effect to believe that there is
peace when there is peace, patriots may de-
plore, and orators may denounce this unjust and
heartless invasion of our rights but We may as
well hope to lay the pillows lull the tempest, by
our simple fat as to alay the progress of this ia
natical crusade, whilst politicians have ambition to
crafty and distinction to hope for.-togfolk( "a

FOREIGN Pubsscatsons.

Owing to the late revolutions and countar-rayoh-
tons among the nations of Europe which have follow.
ed each other III such quick succession. and Of which
'the end is yet, the leading periodicals of Creat
Britain have become invested with degree OF interest
hitherto unknown. They occupy Il middle ground be-
TWEEN the hasy, dis ointcd and necessarily imperfect
records OF the newspapers and the elaborate and nom
derous treaties to be furnished by the historian at
future day. Whoever reads these periodicals obtains
current and connected accounts of all the mportan
political events of the old world, as they occur and
learns the various conclusions drawn from them by the
leading spirits of the age. The American Publishers
