A LOVE SToRY.-We clip the following
from one Of our exchanges for the benefit Of
our readers who happen to be placed in a
similar situation with that Of the unfortun-
ate swain herein mentioned:
Dear Stcset:-Oh my love Of loves, clarj-
fed honey and oil of citron, white loaf su-
gar Of my hopes, and molasses Of my expec-
tationsl you have been absent from ile three

the moon and stars are black when thou art
absent Thy step is the music of soheres
and the wind Of the snow as you pass by is
zephyr from the garden of Paradise in the
spring time of early fowersl / kissed you
when we last met, and my whole frame was
filed with sweetnessl One of your curls
touched me on the nose and that organ was
transmitted into loaf sugar
Oh, spice Of spices-garden Of delight
send me q lock Of your hair-send me any
thing that your blessed fingers have touched,
and will 50 raving mad with ecstacyl--
One look from thy bright eyes would trans
mute me incontinently into the third heavenl
Your words are molten pearl dropping from
your mouth. My heart blazes at the tho't
Of theel My brain is an everlasting fire.
The blood burns and scorches my veins and
vitels as it passes through them Oh, come,
delightful of delights, and with yonr seraph-
ic breath breathe upon me?
When you do come be sure and bring
that half-dime you borrowed of me, as want
to buy me plug of tobacco.

she having run through Plum Gate CON

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BELGI-
rM.--TLe fearful railway accident in Bel
GUM occurred upon the line from Mons to
Manage, between the Louviere and Bots du
Luce; nine parsons were killed on the spot,
and about forty, severely wounded. The
train was conveying large number Of pass
engers who were returning from ducas-
Sc or rural 1ete, and, while proceeding at
its utmost speed, came in contact with Two
wagons laden with coke, and a third filed
with meachacdise. The shock was terrible
The locomotive was thrown on top Of the
wagons, the two carriages which followed
were smashed to pieces, and the third
G ately crushed and broken. Several ofthe
wounded were horribly mutilated, and
wholly bereft of reason. Mile Dupon du
Fayt, daughter of one of the most distin-
guished merchant in Belgium, was severe
ly cat on the head. Many families were
plunged into deep mourning by this hor
rible catastrophe.

Cuba.

We notice that the acquisition Of Cuba
is beginning 10 engage the attention of the
American people, and especially the South
ern portion. a few years ago. when this
question was brought before the public, it
met with jealous and determined opposi-
ton from large proportion of our North
ern population. The fllibusters. and many
others at the South, who strongly favored
the pro osition 10 place Cuba under the
control d protection of the United States
Government, made an unsuccessful attempt
to mold the question into more tangible
shape than it at first presented, that the
plausibility of the scheme might be more
apparent. There are but few, who are
posted in regard to its geographical position
and staple productions, but are willing to
acknowledge the many sdvantascs, both
to Cuba and the United States, that would
follow annexation. But the great question,
is, and has been, how shall possession be
obtained? Many methods have been pro-
posed, but have all been deemed impracti
cable An utter disregard Of al the civil
tiles which one nation is expected to ex.
tend 10 another, and numerous fragrant and
inexcusable insults to the American flag,
have marked the course Of The Spanish gov
eminent towards the United States; this,
by some, is deemed sufficient cause fol
the Americans TO take Cuba by force. The
most plausible method that has yet been
proposed is to obtain by force. if necessary,
full aud complete satisfaction for the many
insults to the American government; and
then purchase Cuba, in the same manner
that we have obtained the greater portion
of the territory now in our possession. l
Cuba could be purchased at a reasonable
price, there is no doubt bat the advanta
ges to be derived from such purchase would
make it profitable investment for tht
United States. The heavy duties which
are paid on imports from that Island
would pay large portion, if not all, of tb'
interest on the debt incurred. But sine,
it has been found necessary to issue bond

FAMINE AT THE AZORES The people OF
the Azores Islands. particularly inhabitants

again in the most deplorable condition Mr..
w. NJ. Pool writes to the journal Of Com
merce:
Famine is stalking through their streets.
and throughout the Island, and unless
speedy assistance is rendered them, it is
feared large numbers must perish. Our
excellent council Mr.. Dabney, has done
and is doing all in his power to alleviate
the sufferings in Fayal, and distributes
100 bushels of corn, besides Nancy, every
week, from his own private resources. but
this reaches but small plumber of the suff-
ering. About six months since a vessel,
grain laden, passed close into Funchal, but,
as it was blowing a gale at the time. it was
impossible to board her frou small boats.
The Inhabitants did everything in their
power to attract the attention Of those on
board, and induce them to run into port;
but as the captain of course, was not aware
of their wretched condition OF the people,
and the navigation into the harbJr was
dangerous, he passed thc Island without
stopping.
