As the bright blooming violets their FRESHNESS RETAIN
And mid Autumn's chill wind in beauty remain,
Peering modestly out from the first Winter snow
With tear on their cheeks to receive the warm glow
Of the sun, as he looks with plying eye
From his clear azure throne in the beautiful sky
So the friends that are faithful in youth sunny hours
When life in its morn, seems pathway of flowers,
And hope sheds lustre as clear and as bright (
As the moonbeams that play on the mountains dim
a height; a fsY
And the heart is as gay and as careless and free,
As the lghtp inioned bird that skins over thesea.
May thy friends Should the cloud ofadversity lower
And sorrow and grief thy young heart overpower,)
Prove their love as unfading, and lasting and true,
As the unaltered grace of the violets hue
But should friends all forsske, be that faith to thee
given,
That looks through tear, witha smile, upte Heaven

An Antiquity Unraveled.


The Paris correspondent of cotempo-
rary, writes
(" The scientific world, which, by-the-by,
has been perfectly undisturbed amid the
commotion of the Royal visit, has been
greatly delighted with the discoveries
made by the American traveller, Mr..
Sqaires, who, after travelling all through
Central America, and visiting with the
greatest care, its ruined temples and bur-
lied cities, in search of some clue to the
ancient language of its departed people,
on coming to Paris for relaxation, has
found amongst the neglected rubbish Of

the Aztec tongue, which has lain there
UNDECIDED and unknown for eenturies.-

Ilnow-NOthing Honor.

A writer in the last Age Of Progress
publishes an article on the Federal! Court,
which contains many structures on our
own article on the same subject, Of
last week. He quotes somewhat extern
siyely, from the Rcgister-at least as
much as he can distort and garblc to
suit his purpose. \ portion Of oar re-
marks appears in the Age thus:
owe could enumeratc Localities which
have been filled with this seorc; ORDER
through this instrumcntality. ave to
object 10 the calling together the Ioauiny
members OF the opposition, at the expense
OF the United States government, for She
purpose Of consultation and maturin5 :

We published it, thus
We could enumrrate localities which
have been filled with this seci"I order
through this instrur ntality. We do
not object to the act Of selecting Il po-
illlcal opponent as Il juryman--lherc can
be no improperly in that but we ,IJ OBJ
jet to calling together the leading menu
members Of the opposition, at the expense
of tie United States Government, for he
purpose OF consultation and ma;u,iD3
plans to break down on" own party"
Honorable men, in making cx:ractS, en-.
endeavor TO give the correc. sentiments
of the writer, but in this case, it viii hr
seen that the first clause Of the last sem
ten2e which we have marked with brack-
cts, thus was stricken out fer the Iur
pose Of coacealiny our true sentiments.
After SuPpresSing what we dill say, the
writer takes us to task in the following,
for not saying it:
" Is an American citizen to be denied
the rights Of citizenship to be denied The
right to serve his country in the capacity
of juror in the U. S. Court-because he
may belong to this Or that political! creed
or party ?"
We did think that the writer of that
article was too high-mincd q gentleman
to bs guilty of so vile fraud, and re-
greet that we have been mistaken in his
character. In consideration Of our pre-
vlous intimacy we suppress his name.
