A shadow falls on living things;

At least the present is your own,
While all the future is unknown.

An Old story.

Once upon a time a maiden
Sat beneath a hawthorne tree,
And her lover close beside hen
Murmured vows Of constancy.
Fairer, sweeter than the blossom
Hanging over her, was she,
And her heart within her bosom
Throbbed and glowed unanimously.
Both were young, and fond and foolish,
Neither rich the story goes,
: Ma was proud and Pa was mulish,
Great their love and great their woes.
Sc they kissed, and wept and parted,
Swearing ever to be true,
Died the maiden broken hearted?
Was the lover faithful too?
Pshaw! she wed a wealthy banker
(Rnmor whispered she was sold)
And no city danes out rank er,
With her pocket full of gold;
Queen at every ball and party,
Decked with lace and jewels rare,
Looking fresh and very hearty
Reigns the victim Of despair.
He--confound the little fellow
Took a widow twice his years,
Fat and forty, ripe end mellow,
With a brace of little dears.
Big plantation, servants plenty,
Splendid mansion, pomp and ease
Cured the boyish love of twenty
That incurable disease!
Learn from this--ye doting lovers
In Jour anguish not TO break
Anything of greater value
Than the promises you make.
Breasts were made to put in motion
Blood, that otherwise would cool,
Pleasure, profit and pr emotion
Graduate at Cupid's school.

STEAM Power ECL1PsED-The London Morning
Chronicle announces an important discovery. 1t is
stated that great experiment was recently tried
at Vincennes in the presence of General Lahtte and
the officers of the fort. The secret of COMPRISING
and governing electricity is at length discovered,
as the sole motor henceforward to be used. small
mortar was. fired by the inventor at the rate of
a hundred shots q minute without flashing, smoke
or noise. The same power can, it seems, be adap.
ted to every system of mechanical invention, and is
chinery nor combustion. A vessel propelled BY this
power is said to skim the water like bird, and
to fear neither storm nor hurricane. The inventor
has already petitoned for line of steamers from
L'Orient to Norfolk, in the United States, which
passage he promises to accomplish in eight and
forty hours. - :, ~
