New Ohio senator.

The OHIO Statesman gives the following
in reference to the recent election Of a Nhie
Senator from that State. The Republican
and Intslligencer have been drumming upon
the state of affairs in Massachusetts, for q
few weeks past. What will they have to
say upon the Ohio election? They have al
ready claimed the glorious Wing triumph,
but they will be very cautious NOT to inform
the voting Wings that the triumph consists
in the election of a Free Soiler:
= Benz. 7. Wsds,sE Elected u S. !SenatOr.-
From the courses the Wings took BY the votes
published last night, we presume no one
will be surprised at say result that might
follow. Mr.. Wade, who made ons of The
bittsrest speeches last fall against the fugi.
tive sldve kGw, is elected U. s. Senator for
six years from the 4th ipst., and by the aid
Of Wing votes! So mitch for Fillmore and
his Whig sdministra aiioni.-so much for Wing
pretences in coaxing eertain Democrats to
abuse Free Sellers, promising to stand by
them! The result is bright commentary
on Wing politics, and those who have been
fooled win have ample time TO reflect. We
presume the remainder Of the bargain will

WY Mn. BUCHANAN NEVER MANNED.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Charleston News says:
"Mr. Buchanan looks much younger than
he did some years ago when worried with
the cares of Office. He is still unmarried,
to the great scandal of the fair sex, who
have not been able to entrap him. IL ru-
NOR is to be credited, he onoe DID love, but
the object Of his affection dying suddenly,
he has resolved to cherish her memory in
single bIessedness. What a source Of hap.

early attachment, coming up ever spd anon

SMILE ON.
Smile on! at best thy days are few;
IT'S best in mirth to spend them,
But we should spehd them wisely too,
Lest creditors we end them.
Smile on! while yet thy hopes are high,
While glad thy young heart besteth; q.
As sweetest flowers soonest die,
So joy when dearest aeeteth!
Smile on! but thinkest thou the while,
Another's heart thou grievest!
All yes, to know that dearest smile,
Some fatterer thou givest.
Smile onl thou mayest remember yet
The love that now thou slightest;
And turn thee backward with regret,
And mourn the hope thou blightest.
Smile on! the victory is thine,
And thine the precious plunder!
But spare-smils not-the hope is mine,
Thou couldst not have brought under.
Smile no, methinks hear voice,
From future years befriending;
Methinks 1t telleth us to rejoice
For hearts to sorrow lending.
Smile not, the triumphs of the just,
Though fallen, still the stronger,
Acknowledge to be mine thou must;
Then weep! for thOn'rt the wrOnger.
Aye weep! for thou hast wronged the true,
And yet Ger life benighted,

l will finish this long letter BY the nafrs-
ton Of Z short anecdote which took place
on Saturday last, at the masquerade ball Of
the grand opera. An American young man.
Mr.. P, who is visiting Paris with the "old
folks" was there alone, to see the elephant,
and to have some fun. His sgreat desire was
20 meet an angel of the fsir sex. He first
looked alround, waiting, 10 take decision
the moment lie should find q ine waist and
small feet. These beauties he discovered
in domino of small figure, who took his
arm and began to intrigue with him. The
lady told him bis name, the city of the Uni
ted States from which he was; and, sitter oil
these preliminsries, she related to him many
flirting excursions which he had made last
year, at Saratoga and Newport. All these
things, whispered in good English, were
very puzzling to Mr.. p; aud in order to
find out who was his fair conpanion. he in-
vited her to supper in private oabiuet.-
The lady first refused; but after some time,
she consented, and the couple started in q
carriage for the well known restaurant Of
Vachette, where all the Americans take
their meals. A cabinet vas opened, The
final pepit sOuper was ordered; and when
they came to eat it, the lady was obliged to
take off her mask. Mr.. P. discovered in
her-who? Guess it. You give itup?-
Yes. She was his mother. The romance
was over; and he took the joke the best way
he could. Mrs. P. is one of the prettiest
American ladies in Paris; and no one, when
looking at her-considering the freshness
of her complexion, and the beauty of her
charms-would suppose that she had son
twenty-three years old.

Benefit of Advertising.

The advantage of advertising in newspa-
pers is always governed by the circulation
of the paper in which the advertisements
appear. If not realized Immediately, the
benefits are sure to follow in many folds.
The following instance Of the advantage a.
rising from judicious system Of advertis-
ing, is given by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Such instances are by 10 means rare:
IA member OF leading firm in South
Third street, yesterday, informed US that a
few days since, he commenced advertising
in the columns Of the Inquirer. His first
advertisement had been published only q
few hours, when it attracted the attention ol
stranger, who Immediately called at his
Office, and after conversation OF few
minutes, made purchase, on which oul
friend realized profit Of cltusn hundred dol

Public attention has been greatly excited
there, in .Constantinople, by the discovery
OF an immen nse treasure of Greek manu-
scripts, of the highest antiquity, found by a
Learned Greek Of the name of Simonides,
in a cave situated at the foot Of Mount
Athos. According 10 this account, the i'm
portance of this discovery is incalculable,
since it brings 10 light vast quantity Of
celebrated works quoted by various ancien;
writers, and hitherto deemed entirely lost
They furnish, as may be imagined, an ex-
tensive list of proper names, calculated to
throw great light upon many obscure peri
DDS of history. Among these precious vol
umes, which are composed Of very thin
membranes, (tbe nature Of which is not
stately filled with characters, some are cal
culated 10 give complete Interpretation o.
hieroglyphic writing-the fortunate discov
erer having already successfully applied
themto the Interpretation of the inscrip
tions engraved on The obelisk of the Hippo
drome at Constantinople.
