They Saw He is Another's Now.
BY N. P. VII l. l S.

They say he is another's now,
That / no more his smiles snail see,
Oh! say not so-he would not break
The solemn VOW he pledged to me.
They tell me like the diamonds ray,
Her love-lit eyes upon him shine
Can he forget those sacred hours,
When every prayer he breathed wa mine
They say he is anotber's now.
Oh, no his love is mine alone
If not, my lips, speak not my tears,
This breaking heart his own-his own
They tell me that he still is gay,
And that he never lisps my name
Can he forget the face that smiled
So dear a welcome when he came?
They say he is another's now,
Whose watching tones delight his car
Hath he forgot the favoritc airs,
[ used to sing when he was near2
They tell me he no more viii come,
Nor at the door his steps be heard
Can he forget our moonlit walks,
The sweet embrace, the parting word
They say he is another's now
My heart is like cherished flower.
Which not till crushed around the vase,
It's long imprisoned sweets will shower.
Can he forget when first it bloomed,
In all loves primrose color's drcst,
When pluckingit it from where it grew,
He nurscd it gently in his breast?
They say he is another's now
And 1 a poor forgotten thing;
Oh, no, oh no The bade me wear
For his dear sake this treasured ring.
They do but jest who say his lips
Another's checks have press'd than mine
Can he forget the garden bower,
The kiss behind the trelliss'd vine?
They say he is another's now
Who, for his love, hor home forgot
That | must think of him no more
1t cannot be, oh say it not.
Tie heart will hoard its sacred love,
AS boards the miser's hand his gold
1t counts its treasures one by one.
And grasps them in his dying hold.
They say he is another's now
That vain are all the tears l shed
1t may be so-can / forget
That to his heart my own was wed2
Can he forget the early love,
That clung to him so pure and deep
The smile so gay when he was gay,
The eye that wept when he did weep2
They say he is another's now
That | shall see him not again
He cannot love as l have loved,
She cannot be what / have been.
Oh, do not say that he forgets-
He loves me yet-he loves me yet
The vow, the smile, the kiss. the tear
Cen he forget-can he forget,

Fremont Union school.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting
the Fremont Union School, superintended
by Mr.. GEO. W. STARKwEATHER. Although
for several years we have had abundant op--
portunities to visit similar institutions in the
New England, Middle and Western States,
yet seldom, if ever, have we visited one that
pleased US more than this.
In the High School Department where
the classes are under the instruction of the
Superintendent himself, we listened with un-
usual interest to several recitations, but es-
peeially to one in Grammar The Gram
mar class was composed of some thirty mem
bers, and among them all, there were mono
who had not, apparently, a very critical
knowledge ofthis important branch of study.
We cannot but feel that much credit is
justly due Mr.. SrARKwzATHER for arousing
the energies of his pupils-seeuring their
respect, and teaching them to think and rea-
son for themselves. Very little can be rea-
sonably hoped for from any pupils who are
not independent thinkers, and the services Of
that instructor who is not competent to make
them such, are of very little value.
We spent few moments in the Gram
mar and intermediate Departments, where
we found the order excellent and the ad-
the pupils had made was very
We regret we had not time
to visit the Primary Department also, for
quite generally too little interest is felt by
friends of education in our Primary School.
From what we had heard of Mr.. STARK
WEATHER previously, and the success that
had attended his teaching in neighboring
State, we expected to find him doing well
here, but we did not expect to find so large
and well organized School
We heartily congratulate any community
fortunate enough to secure the services Of
such an efficient Superintendent. The citi--
zens of Fremont may well be proud of their
Union School, for we doubt that better,
can be found in the entire State of Ohio.

LATER FROM EURoPEl
Arrival of the Africa.


The steamship africa, with advices from
Liverpool and London to the 23d ultimo
arrived at New York on the morning of the
8th inst. She brings no tidings of the miss
ing steamer Pacific, which sailed from Liv-
erpool on the 23d of January last. The
telegraph furnishes the following summary
of the news by this arrival:
The Rothchilds have taken the new Brit
ish loan at 80. 1t was supposed the Peace
Conference would meet on the 23d ult, at
Paris. Great anxiety was felt as TO the re-
suit, but it was generally supposed peace
would be concluded, as France was very
anxious for it.
There is nothing new as regards the diff
culties between England and the United
States, and appears in the London papers
of importance in regard to it. The Morn
ing Advertiser says Mr.. Dallas brings very
stringent Instructions in reference to the mat
ter.
It is reported at London that Russia will
consent to the dismantling of Nieolaieff, but
the report is regarded as doubtful.
The editors Of the Paris newspapers have
been ordered to publish nothing more as re-
CARDS the prospect of war or peace while the
Conference is sitting.
Count Orlof had arrived at Paris.
Letters from st. Petersburg and Warsaw
published in the German papers, give details
of preparations in progress for the continu-
alton of the war, and state that no energy of
the military department abated.
1t is reported that the amount of frauds
Of which Mr.. Saddler has been guilty, who
recently committed suicide, do not fall much
short of 1,OOO,OOOF. in railroad shares and
mortgages. He has also been guilty of
crimes of the most diabolical description.
A portion of the English Baltic feet had
steam up ready for leaving Spithead on the
evening of the 22d ult.
The London Daily News saws the an
nouncement that the new loan had been
taken by the Rothchilds at 80 caused a de-
cline of J per cent. in the British funds, but
the decline was again recovered. The ag-
gregate amount subscribed to the loan reach
ed 93O,OOO,OOO sterling.
The latest advices from the Crimea bring
nothing of interest
At COnoustantinople there was greatcom-
mereial confusion and material decline in
prices of all kinds of produce
The proceedings in tho British Parliament
contain nothing of importance.
There is nothing of importance from
France Or other parts of Europe.

A SENSIBLE VIEW OF THE MATTER-The
London Atheneuna, weekly paper devoted
mainly to literary matters, has leading az
ticlo In its last number upon the subject of
the disputes now pending between the En-
glish and American governments, from
which we make some extracts, as follows:
War with the United States! The idea
of such war is incredible. If there be in
the catalogue of mortal calamities aworse
than civil war" it is such conflict as might
arise between America and England. A
civil war has generally some basis in reason.
Some grand principle at stake. The sword
IS drawn in defense of freedom-in defense
of property-in defense of religion. As in
our own civil war, degree of romance, of
chivalry, and of intellectual activity, often
springs from the conflict and fourishes after
its close-the blossom and the fruit of a
deadly contest.
But war against America would have
no single redeeming point There is not,
and there never ought to be any real ground
of quarrel with the United States. The in
terests of the two countries are identical
Their moral principles are the same. They
have neither language to separate, nor re-
lgion to estrange them. The same blood
flows in the veins of the people. They have
a common histoy-a common literature-a
common tradition they possess the same
Bible. They read the same Shakespeare
and the same Milton. Blake conquered and
Cromwell ruled for both They have an
interest equal in Raleigh in Vane and in
Penn. Nay, their present state is as insep-
arabic as their past. They still live by the
light of the same old Saxon laws. They
still drink at the same intellectual fountains
regardless whether the springs lie on the
eastern or western shores of the Atlantic
Irving, Byraut, Bancroft, Lawlew and Long
fellow, are admired with as warm affection
in England as are Thaekeray, Tennyson,
Dickens, Jerrold and Maeauley, in Ameri-
ca.
A war between America and England
would be war of brothers. war of friend
against friend. 1t would be war against
the affinities of race, against the unity Of
religion, against interchanges of trade. It
would be war in favor of barbarism, pira-
cy, restriction-a war against the bounties
of Nature, the enterprises of genius, the ad-
vanees of civilization. Such a war would
bring sorrow into every Anglo Saxon home
in Europe and America, and feeling of shame
and humiliation into every Anglo Saxon
heart, in whatever quarter of the globe it
beats. Such war would close the Gospel
for nearly half the Christian world!

OUR U. S. SENAToR.-The New-York
Heralds correspondent, gives the following
account of Major General PUeH's 'irst ap-
pearance" in the Senate:
"Mr. Crittenden led off the discussion in
support of Mr.. Trumbull's right to the scat,
and was followed yesterday by Mr.. Pugh,
the new Buckeye Senator, whose reputation
has preceded him here as one of the most
fluent and eloquent speakers in the West.
His speech yesterday was read from the
sheets of manuscript, and not well read at
that, while the distinguished Senator stood
in an attitude not very graceful with one of
his hands in his breeches pocket"
We object to Washington letter writers
making fun of Ohio's Senator.
