Oh, for lutte, like seraphs' lutes above
draught from Heliconian stream
That might thrill a sweet sad tune Of love
As weird and wild as maniacs dreaml
Alas, eartb's gifted ones must diey'
And leave their spheres on earth in glooml-
The fire that burned in Haskell's eye
Was quenched in the damp cold tombl
He crossed deaths ever-fowing sea,
Tired Of the vain worlds care and vice,
And SCARED on wings as feet and free
As birds in bowers of Paradise.
A star meath life's horizon set,
No more to light our path twill burn;
And many manly eye is wet
While woman mourns at Haskells urn.
Death came to him welcome boom
To him, maniac wild with fears
And he left the underworld in the June
Of his terrestrial years.
While here he bowed at pleasures shrine,
As many a child of genius errs-
He drank 10 her the sparkling wine
Which poisons all her worshipe-s.
Let charity his crros veil,
And conscience curse the hated bowl
That stained the scntient casket frail
Which held the maniac jewel soul
The flesh can linger but day,
A waif OH Times sea tempest wave,
Touched by the cold blight Of decay
And drifting to the silent grave.
Departed gifted one, adieu -
We would not call thee back again
To this bleak world, where joys are few,
And god-like minds grow mad from pain.
No more the accents Of thy tongue
Can wake the slumbering echoes here;
Thy last funeral knell is rung,
And DER thee falls the silent tear.
Too soon was broke the 'golden bowlp'-
Too short thy lifc's contracted span;
But thy names on Memory's brilliant scroll
A wIT,-an oRAToR--A MANI
Sweet rest thee underneath the sod
Where purple violet, blue-eyed, spring,
Thy soul, we hope, is with its God
And hears the anthem sing.

LOUISIANA WHIGs.--The Wings Of
Louisiana, like their brethern in other Sec
tions of the Union, are beginning to move.
They have issued an address and called
Convention to meet in New Orleans on the
second Wednesday in June next, to effect
an organization and to nominate State
ticket to be voted for at the next election.
Their address iscouched in eloquent terms.
We copy from it the following glowing
passages:
The Wing party has slumbered---it has
not died the wisdom of this policy, the
conservatism of its principles, the unriv-
aled endowmcnts of its gallant leader
Clay-who, for so long and eventful
PERIOD bore its honored banner in the
thickest of the fight, all betokened its in
destructibility; and the effort we now make
to unfurl its flag once more to the battls
and the breeze further evidences its vital-
ty, and gives token of our devotion 10 the
organization of its choice, gemed as is its
escutcheon with the most brilliant portion
of our political history. Lives there a
Whig with emotions so torpid as not to
feel his bosom heave with patriotic pride,
as he reviews the past of our history, stud.
ded as every page of this history is. in
characters of electric brilliancy, with the
proud names of Clay and Webster2 Their
genius impresses itself with ineffaciblo
durability on the policy of the country,
whilst their profound craftsmanship, COM
pretending the diversified interests of this
great nation, subordinated them all to the
solution of the highest problem of political
economy in a republican government, The
greatest good Of Ike greatest number and
the wisdom of their policy is proved by
this, that it has inextricably interviewer
itself with the succeeding affairs of our
Federal Government and, like a golden
thread, reappears in the current history
of our national affairs, alone r,deeming
them from the just reprobation of dis.
appointed and suffering people. All honor
to the old Wing party, for the past of its
history is at least secure.
In conclusion, we exhort you in the
burning eloquence of the gallant Harry
of the West, "Arise, arise, shake off the
dew drops that glitter on your garments,
and once more march to baltic and to vo-
tory"

ANOTHER CLAIMFNT OF THE HAND OF
Mr.. BUCHANAN-The females who lay
claim to the hand of our bachelor Presi-
dent have become rather numerous of late.
The Washington States of the 18th gives
the following account of one of them:
Margaret Heslin was arrested by Officer
Ward at the White House, yesterday after
noon, charge made against her by the
doorkeeper, that she was in the house
kicking up a row, claiming that James
Buchanan was her betrothed husband, and
insisting on being admitted to his presence,
that she might fold him to her bosom as
her lawful spouse. She says that the
Presidents father and her father lived
neighbors together in Ireland and that her
parents had made marriage contract be-
tween herself and James" when they
were yet ,young--an agreement having
been come to that the first female born Of
her family was to be welded to the first
male born of Mr. Buchanans family
The President denies the soft impeach
ment, but Margaret insists. Margaret is
decidedly handsome and intelligent, aged
30, and lived last at Piney Woods, Fix
Ridge, Howard District, Maryland Poor
Margaret was put on board the At train
for Baltimore, this morning, and is utterly
discOnsolate.

Discovery OF A VALUABLE LEAD MINE
IN TENNESSEE Under this heading the
Cincinnati Gazette tells us that few weeks
since Prof. N. G. Morse, of that city, took
as payment for a debt Of long standing
fifty acres of land in the Western part of
Tennessee at the rate of $40 per acre
Prof. NJ made visit to his newly pur-
chased farm, and, upon examination of the
soil, found that it contained large quanti-
ties of lead Upon second and more
thorough examination he found that i'm q
mediately beneath the upper crust or sod
were immense rocks of lead ore. Several
specimans from different portions of the
farm were brought back by Prof. Morse,
and submitted to Professor j. Lawrence
Smith Professor of Chemistry in the Med
ical Callegc, foranalyzation. Pro. Smith
subjected the specimens to thorough test
and found existing pure lead ore to the
value of eight.slx per cent, and assocla-
ted with the sulphate ofbarta. The latter
being specially a very merchantable arti-
clio in Western country, and equally as
valuable as the lead ore. Professor Smith,
in his certificate, adds; II fnd that this
ore can be easily worked without much out
lay for furnaces. etc" Prof Morse has
since the discovery refused 81 600, per a
ere for the land, aud is firmly of the opin
ion that the mine is worth halfa million
of dollars; Mr. Morschas effected in Gin
cinnati loan of S25 900 to build furnaces
and commence mining operation immedi-
ately.
