FAREWELL TO HER LOVE. r'.
1t was in summer time,
A calm and lovely night;
No moon was seen, to check the brilliancy
| Ofstars that twnkled bright.
And near the pure Potomac we stood,
When all was dim, but not dark;
Her sweet voice mingling with the waves,
That on them bore gallant bark
Then pause, and all was still,
Save now and then, the shooting of star.
At length she raised her eyes to Heaven and said'
See yonder-let that be our stella!
An Adelaide was there,
Yes, and Bette too;
But she was there, whose angelic smiles
Had caused me her to love too true.
Though often since I've seen
Her smile and look on me,
Yet how vain it is for me to think
That the happy one can be.
Her smile and look though still the same,
That oft my heart has warmed
know full well, her pure and holy love
Is all for him-for him alone tits formed.
Again her voice was hush'd, and all was mute,
And with that silence came,
The sad and dreary consciousness,
That no more might breathe her name.
When last I saw that lovely one,
Twas on a bright and sunny day;
Though winter with its hoary frosts
Did lingering stay.
That~eve, calmly said long adieu;
Her heart was chill and cold
She seemed not to remember
The pleasant days of old.
Her last adieu was ringing in my ears,
As turn'd once more that lovely form to see
Sadly feeling that twas my last, my only look
She was destined another's bride to be.
All cruel, cruel, was it, dearest girl,
For those eyes SO full of love,
To cheat me thus, and leave me mourn
My love for you, which would gladly prove.
No change of time shall ever check
My firm affection, lovely maid, for thee;
For thou hast alwass been nay hearts delight,
And shall forever be.
Should no more that being behold,
And never to her express love
That cannot-wil not die,
Then farewell farewell to her | love!

GENEALOGICAL SERMON.

had, at one time. for c"-cutale very
impnlsive and rather democratic man. Oar
rector was an arislocrat. On Sunday he
bad delivered himself Of a sermon in which
he incidentally justified family pride, and
spoke in manner that must have been Of.
'ensive to anv poor person OF any InlelIi-
gence or independence; and, as we were
leaving the church. my brother curate ex-
claimed, with unaffected Indignation, "Well,
lhs, crowns -'s toadyirg discourses.-
Such hunkeyism is in,olersble. Blu, I'll ad-
minister an sn,ido,e mex, Sunday see if J
don't. Like Herod's worms, our rector's
pride is eating him up" did not at'emp,
TO dssusde him. Our rector treated both
Of us with a condescenson that was any
thing bu. fa,lerng; and he thought more
Of being 'genlleman" upon which he was
always indirectly Wanting himself Than of
being a Christian, forgetting what Coleridge
said. that there was no real gentleman with
out lie was a Chris,isn.
Mex, Sunday morning my brother curate
carried ou, his threat. He told me nothing
about how he proposed to manage or mould
his course; so judge my surprise when,
mounting the pulpit, he gave out as his text, ,
the Sd chapter of Luke, part Of the 23d. and
the whole of the 24,h, 25,h, 26rh, 9Th,
2Srh, 29h, 3Olh, 3ls,, 32d, 33d, 34.h, 35It,
36lh, 37Ih, and Ssh verses; Sin which Che
conlnued) will be found the following
words;" and then, 10 The marvel of the
whole congregation, who turned towards
The pulpit with eyes and mouth open, he
read righ. through the sixteen verses, begin
ming wilh-'J oseph, which was the son OF
He'll" and ending with, switch was the son
of Enos, which was the son Of Seth, which
was the son Of Adam, which was the son OF
God" Every one is familiar with the pc
cuIiar and strange effect upon the ear Of the
re epelition of the words, (which was the
SON." when even occurring in the reading
desk bu. in the pulpit, as prefix to a SER
mon in the shape of text, they sounded
oddly. The rector looked at me as if for
an explanation, anG did not know where
10 look while the principal persons Of the
parish mani(eslly come TO the conclusion
that my brother curale was gone mad. But
if he ere, he soon showed them there was
method IN his madness; for he ingeniously
evolved out Of these sixteen verses dis
course that might have served ss an essay
on the Republican legend Of "Liber.y, E.
quality and Fraternity" The reader has
probably anticipated me in the use he made
Of his long text.

ANEW GAME.-The Hagerstown (Md')
.Neavs gives the following account OF ne"
game, which bids fair TO surpass IN p"Pu-
lar,,y that Of catching pig with gfeased
tail 1.-THE wheeling match noticed IN our
paper sometime since, took place at Middle
burg, Pa, on Friday last, and attracted
large crowd Of spectators. The prize was
ia, hog, and there were some eight com
pe,i,ors for it. Mr.. Barnard, residing near
Middeburg, struck the stake with the wheel
barrow, and won The prize. The compet''
tors are bIindfolded, and are placed directly
opposi,e sake driven into the ground at
distance of one hundred yards, and then
ordered, to proceed with the wheelbsrfow;
The one hitting or coming the nearest 'he
stake being entitled to the prize. It Is sa'd
,ha. many persons, before they have pro-
ceeded twenty yards from the starting point,
depar, from the straight line, and move on
in opposi.e directions, or make complete
circle and ,ha, very few in this match came
within thirty feet of the stake. II aifords

SUBLIME SpEEcH.-Upon certain time,
an orator who wished to advocate the con-
s,ruction of q new turnpike through a Sec
ton of Virginia, made the following sublime
speech: "May it please your worships!
While Europe is convulsed in civil discords;
while her empires tremble with internal
commo,ion, and while astronomers mount
the wings Of their imsgina'ions, and soar
through the ethereal world, pursuing their
course from planet 10 planet and from sys-
TEN 10 system, until they have explored the

my uncle Toby.
"He's poor creature" SAID Tim. ..
"How so ?" said my uncle. .
"Becsuse in the first place" continued
the corporal, looking full upon my uncle
"because he mus. endeavor to please every
body. In the negligence Of moment. per
haps a small paragraph pops upon him ne
hastily throws j. to the compassion, II is IN
serted, and he is ruined to all inienls and
purposes"

Gle with deep sigh.
"And please your honor" continued
Trim, 'sthis is not the whole"
"Go on Tfim,'' said my uncle feelingIy.
sThe printer sometimes" pursued the
corporal, ''his upon a piece that pleases
him nightly; and he thinks it cannot but

sir, who can calculate the human mind -
He inserts it, and all is over with him. They
forget others but canno. forge. the printer.
He has host to print for, and every ono
sets up for critic. Pretty Miss exclaims,
l''wby don't you give US more poetry, mar
riages and bon mo.s away with these stale
pieces" The politician claps his specs
over his nose, and reads it over in search of
violen. invec.ive he finds none, takes his
specls of, folds them, sticks them in his
pocket, declares lag paper good for nothing
bu. TO burn. So i.goes. Every one thinks
it ough, to be printed expressly for himself,
as he is subscriber, and yet, after all, this
complaining, would you believe it, sir, said
the corporal, caspng his hands beseeching-
ly, "wouId you believe it, sir, there are
some subscribers who do hesitate 10 cheat
the printer out of his pay! Our army
swore terribly in Flanders, but they never
did anylhing SO bad as that 10

strongest kind Of emphasis.

he sent for carpenter to shorten the legs of
