None Remember Thee.

BY HON. MRS. NORTON.
None remember thee thou whose heart
Pour'd love all around;
Thy maine no anguish can impart-
Ills u forgotten sound.
Thy old companions pass me by
With cold bright smile and vacant eye,
Aud none remember thee
Save me
None remember thee! thou vert not
Beauteous as some things are:
My glory beam'd upon thy lot,
My pale and quiet star!
Like winter bud that too soon hath burst,
Thy cheek was fading from the first.
And none remember thee
Save me!
None remember thee! they could spy
Nought when they gazed on thee,
But thy souls deep love in thy quiet eye
1t hath pass'd from their memory.
The gifts of genius we're not thine,
Proudly before the world to shine
And none remember thee
Save me!
None remember thee! now thon'rt gone
Or they could not choose but weep,
When they thought Of thee, my gentle one.
In thy long and lonely sleep.
Fain would | murmur thy name, and tell
How fOndly together We used to dwell
But none REMAINDER thee
Save me

case in view: Some two years or 50 ago
an old man, named Antonio Valcarcel. a
native, we believe, of Mexico, came to this
place from Camargo. He Immediately COM

vement Of real estate, with view of making
u his permanent home. As required BY
NV, il is said he went formally before one Of
lhs courts of the country, solemnly re-
ssanced all allegiance to the Government,

uca Of becoming citizen Of the United
Mates. Since which time he has been
qe'etly living in this city, in compliance
with the laws, until about ten days ago.

To My Wife.
BY GEORGE BETHUNE.

Away from thee the morning breaks,
But morning brings no Joys to me;
Alas my spirit only wakes
To know am affair from thee.
In dreams saw thy blessed face,
And thou vert nestled on my breast;
In dreams felt thy fond embrace,
And to mine own thy heart was pressed.
Afar from thee! it's solitude.
Though smiling crowds around me be
The kind, the beautiful, the good
For can only think of thee;
VI thee, the kindest, loveliest, best,
My earliest and my only one,
Without thee, am all unblessed,
And wholly blest with thee alone
Afar from thee the words of praise
My listless ear unheeded greet;
" nat sweetness seemed in better days,
Without thee seemed no longer sweet
The dearest joy fame can bestow
Is in thy moistened eye to see,
And in thy checks unusual glow,
Thou deem'st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee! the night is come,
But slumbers from my pillow flee;
Oh who can rest 30 far from home?
And my hearts home is, love, with thee.
kneel me down in silent prayer.
And then, know that thou art nigh:
For God, who seest everywhere,
Bends on us both his watchful eye.
Together in his lov'd embrace,
No distance can our hearts divide;
Forgotten quite the immediate space,
kneel thy kneeling form beside.
Thy tranquil frame then sinks to sleep,
But scars the spirit far and free;
Oh! be nights slumbers deep,
For then, sweet love, am with thee.

markable feats of diving lately performed
in Bath, England, it is mentioned that sea-
man dove down with pair Of laced boots
on his feet and pair Of Wellingtons in his
hand, but returned to the surface wearing
the WelIingtons and carrying the laced
boots. He afterwards dove with a Jacket
and pair Of trowsers in his hand, dressed
himself while under wafer, and on return
ing to the surface took a pipe filed with to-
bacco from his pocket, struck light and
smoked wLile floating on his back.

The IMPRISONED NIGHrINGALE-A pea
SAINT one day went to the mansion OF dis
tinguished man. There he heard bird
sing in a giIded cage. He drew nearer to
1t, and belleld it was a nj ghtngale, With Il
feeling of sadness he leaned upon his stall
and listened
Presently, the servant of the rich man
came to him and said ''At what dost thou
WONDER and wherefore standest thou here
musing thus?7
~ wonder" answered the peasant, ::that
your master can bear to hear that sad COM
plant OF the imprisoned bird in its splendid
habitation"
Thou fool ~ replied one of the servants,
"does the song of the nightingale seem sad
to thee in thy fields and groves!'
Not So" answered the peasant "there,
on the contrary, it fills my soul with Joy and
admiration.'
''And are its notes different hereio asked
the man. with a smile of mockery.
Certainly" replied the peasant. "Our
nightngales, amid branches covered with
leaves and blossoms, proclaim the praises of
revlvIng nature: they sing beneath the
azure sky the song of liberty, and over their
brooding mates the notes of love"
Atthese words the servants laughed scorn-
fully, and called the peasant a simple clown.
But the peasant held his peace, and re-
turned to his cottage and his fields.
O. An exceedingly interesting rough
and tumble ieht took place in the upper
end OF town day or two since. Fhe beige
rants were small ebony coiofed descendant,
of Ham, and a little moon-eyed yellow repre-
sentative of the same g genus homo" For
some time it was snip and tug" and no
gouging-trst ebony and then moon-eyes
The contest waxing warm, We became
somewhat excited, and raising shout for
little ebony who was on the eve of being
placed hors du combat" he made dive
into the bread-basket of his antagonist, up
set him, and with the science of an expe-
renced pugilistic welted him to the tune of
2.40. Moon-eyes "caved" and left his VIC
torious antagonist in full possession of the
!: field and spoils."
