Gss- The Cincinnati Enquirer tells OF a de-
lightful blunder a young gentleman made ut
the Spencer House in that place, whereby
Piccolomini got kissed three several times by
the young gentleman, who mistook her for an
absent sister that he had not seen for several
years. Finding out bis mistake, he immedi-
ately wrote her an apology, saying he could
not regret what had occurred on his own ac-
count, but would, if she desired il. on hers.
lie had no idea he was pressing the Psychean
lips of the ioveliest and most fascinating
songstress in the world, and that the mistake
had only taken place because she was as
beautiful as his sister. She had his most
hrmble apology for what had occurred, and
If she would not be satisfied. he would return
what he had taken.
When this note was translated 10 the be-
witching Marie, and she was assured Of its
sincerity, she laughed immoderately, and
said she had supposed perhaps kissing
pretty girl (here she looked very archly,) on
meeting her, was an American custom. Ii
had frightened her at first, but now she did
not care. for, said she, in her attractive En-
glish-Tuscan Re KEGS deed me no 'prm-

g4- Miss ELIZA LOGAN concluded her brief
engagement of one week, at the lGaiety. on
Saturday night. 1t was eminently succ, So
full in all respects, and we are sure will be
remembered by her, as one of the pleasantest
she ever played in Nashville. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that she gives place to one, to
see whom the public curiosity is on tiptoe, and
whose dramatic genius is undoubtedly of the
highest ORDER we wish her stay might have been
prolonged.
She has reached point in her career which
may be called it's meridian. Her role cannot be
further enlarged, and her reputation, so long
as it may last, will be determined by her pres
ent efforts. For our own satisfaction we
should have been pleased to see her in her
full range of characters. But by what we have
seen now and heretofore, we are
at no loss in making our judgment of
her abilities and her forte. Contrasted with
the chief lights of the drama Of her own sex,
Such as SIDDONs. KENBLE. RACHEL, and even
CUsHaAx, her rank will be found at their feet;
but compared with the actresses of her own
Immediate era, she will stand emincntly high.
In the deIineation of the strong passions OF
human nature. love. anger, hate, suffering
her character mainly rests She is exclusively
strong. resolute, tragic. She has none of the
qualities. mental or physical, in superior
degree, for comedy. She was not made for
it, and HEDGE never did nor ever can excel III it,

For the Patriot.
No. Hi-THE FEAR OF APPROACHING AGE.

No. Hf.-THE FEAR OF APPROACHING AGE.
Among the vast multitude of the acquired
miseries of life, is the fear of approaching
age; the sight of grey hair often causes
deeper sigh than the loss of member of
family each returning birth day is greeted
with silent sorrow and we conceal the number
of our years with as much carefulness, as
though we were hiding from the world a dire
crime. This weakness Qor truly it is a weak
ness) proceeds to a great extent from a ne
elected education. Those persons who have
never been taught to consider anything valua-
bic but youth, beauty and the excitement of
revelry, naturally feel responding and sad
when they view all for which they have lived
on the eve of departure.
Age, the herald Of the evening of life, the
dew that shuts the withered flower, and
shields it from the biting winds, why dread
its approach; why turn from its falling frosts
that softly light upon thy head, and glitter
through the clouds of faded years why sigh
as he with his mighty strides o'ertakes thee,
and claims thee captive why hide his marks
with robes of furied days whose folds hang
but sloyenly upon thy shrivelled form. o!
dof them now, and move DER the balance of
thy path, in all the dignity and pride that
thy years command devote thou thy time to
the mirror of purity and holiness, age asks
il with faltering voice, God commands it in
tones of love and kindness.
If as we advance in age we grow wiser and
better. surely we should have no reason to
repine as our happiness is always proportion
ed to our goodness and wisdom. If our minds
have been early improved with knowledge,
the knowledge of ourselves mot our neigh
virtue and religion, we cannot help but
enjoy the luxuries that age has in stone for
rs: What are they! nay ask not, canst not
conceive them? Dost thou. aged father know
no Joys. and thou time stricken mother, hast
in thine old age no happiness? what no
loving child in whose life thou canst see thy
self living over again, whose smiles light up
thy clouded heart, whose pure life strews DER
thy path flowers of undying fragrance.
Art thou patient reader advanced in years,
has time crowned thee with a frost bitten
wreath whose sweetness seems to have fed?
dost feel ashamed to wear il? AID dost thou
pluck fresher and fairer flowers and Irvine
them there with these that long have faded.
leaves? o. vanity hide thou thy face behind
the veil of studied woes.
