sound Of delightful music. Twas
impossibly to remain still, and listen
to the melody. A thought Of ancient
time came over US, and vision Of the
happy hours, long since passed, but
not forgotten, when in the vigor and
bouyancy Of youth, we sailed forth
with merry spirit, to play the Troub.
adour. Arising we put our extrem:
tiles into unmcntionables wrong side

the Heavenly melody; not however
to meet the spirits Of old Alas, they
are gohe-dead sir dead-scatter-
ed to the four quarters their, instru-
ments broken, and the music thereof
lost forever. A holy, and followed
thought came over US, and We returned
to bed-pcrhaps to sleep-to sleep
perhaps to dreamer there's the
rub. a party Of cats prevented it,

as we never heard before in Third
street. The air was familiar, but the
name Of the opera from which it is
taken, is forgotten. Thanks to the
musicians, and the company, Of the
first seranade-they shall not find us
at another time, unprepared to give

specimen of porcelain ware made made At

idea of the style of the article, we will
quote the following sentence:

and be hung upon the gallOws Of public oppro-
brium Yet in mercy to the culprits, who are
thus provoking the incensed judgment of an
outraged community, we will briefly state
what opposition may be expected in the free
States to the infamous proposal to repeal the
Missouri Compromise, and thus expose the rot
ten foundations Of their hopes.
