Miscellaneous The JLictdor'.s- Cnmfdaint. Soon forty summers will linve passM Since li;glit upon me sniil'd. Ami yet, alas tor me, I'm cliss'd Amon.uj the unl)eguil'J! The hulics sweets they glided hy, Nor hlesiM me with a nod. While I, poor wight, hail hut to sili To wind upon the road. Is it not passing strange to see They slight so neat a man. And vet plav off their witchery On Ninnies of the Clan? There's little Voz ha got a wife As lofty as a tower. And now,' no doubt, the joys of life Are his each passing hour. There's laughing Tom, and gulling Dick, Have each secured a rib, And dandy Jack within a week A golden li-h wdl nib! While I 'tis true, and pity too Must still in loneliness Anodic winter meet, and show Myself in sad duress. "What can the matter he," ye fair 1 put the cae to you? May I not come in for a share Of smiles, and kisses too? A gallant husband I would be, It is a fact, 1 vow I carve with neatness sip my tea, And make a handsome bow. Or are your bosoms, white as snow, As cold as snow can be If warmth be in them, let me knuw If aught that warmth for me? Your billet-doux do not refuse. Address me through the post; I'm not in joke it is no ruse The cost, a cent at most. DAYS Of ABSENCE,. Day's of absence sad and dreary, Cloth'd in sorrow's dark array, Days of abseuce, I am weary, Her I love is far away. Hours of bli too quickly vanished, When will aught like you return, When the heavy sigh be banished, When this bosom c.ise to mourn "Not 'till th itlov 'd voice can greet me, Which so oft has chann'd my ear, Not 'till those weet eyes can meet me, Telling that I still am dear. D.iys of absence then will vanish, Joy will all my pangs repay, So on mv bosom's idol famish, Gloom but fell when she's away." "All my love is turn'd to sadness, Absence pays the tender vow Hope that lill'd my heart with gla.l ness, Memory turns to anguish now Love may yet return to greet me, Hope may take the place of pain, Antionelle with kisses meet me, Breathing love and peace again." (EA gentleman has just shown ns a letter which he received a few days ago from Joseph Outlaw, a coloured man, in Liberia, who emigrated from this neighbour hood four or five years ago. From the begging tone of the epis tle, we are inclined to think that comforts are not superabundant in the colony. Clothing, provisions, fanning utensils in short, any thing or every thing is solicited, and solicited with an earnestness that shows they are really neces sary. The writer lives at Mills burg, a settlement at the distance of twenty miles from Monrovia, the principal town of the colony, and cultivates his portion of land (ten acres) for the maintainance of himself, a wife, and seven children. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the poor fel low's letter should be almost whol ly devoted to entreaty, and to the names of those from whom he hopes for assistance. As it con tains no information beyond what may be gleaned from the above, we notice it merely from a desire to promote poor Outlaio's com forts, by acquainting his benevo lent friends with his unenviable condition.

(7The manufacture of sugar from beets, which Napoleon en deavored to introduce generally into France, has grown lately into frpnt importance. Millions of pounds of sugar are thus made. The principal cause of he exten sion of this manufacture is the discovery of the great benefits to agriculture connected with it. Alter the sugar has been extract ed, there remains so nutricious a pulp that in two months, without the employment of any other food, a great number of cattle may be fed upon it. A Man of his ll'ord.The fol lowing whimsical circumstance happened some time ago in Kil kenny, Ireland. A tailor, who was married to a very sickly wo man, i;rew enamoured of a young irirl who lived in his neighborhood; cc on certain conditions he agreed to give her a promise in writing, to marry her immediately on the demise of his rib; in consequence of which, Mr. Snip passed her the following curious note of hand; 'fn two days after the demise of mv present wife, I promise to mar ry Mary Moran, or order, value received, under a penalty ol lilty pounds sterling. Given tinder mv hand, this sixteenth of May, etc. .Icr. Sullivan." Shortly after Mary received the above note she died, leaving it endorsed to a female friend, who also chanced to take a fever and die before die tailor's wife; however, on her sick bed, she also endorsed the note and gave it to a cousin, whom the tailor absolutely married, agreea ble to endorsement, in two davs after the death of his wife; audit is said that the tailor and wife are now living happily in the city of Kilkenny. Marria'c. .Marriage is to a woman at once the happiest and the saddest event of her life; it is the promise of future bliss, raised on the death of all present enjoy ment. She quits her home her parents her companions her occupations her amusements every thing on which she has hith erto depended for comfort for affection for kindness for plea sure. The parents by whose ad vice she had been guided the sister to whom she has dared im parl the every embryo thought and feeling the brotlrer who has played with her, by turns the counsellor and the counselled and the younger children, to whom she has hitherto been the mother and the playmate all are to be forsaken at one fell stroke; every former tie is loosened the spring of every action is to be changed; and yet she flies with joy into the untrodden path before her; buoyed up by the confidence of requited love, she bids a fond and grateful adieu to the life that is past, and turns with excited hopes and joyous anticipation of the happiness to come. Then woe to the man who can blight such fair hopes who can treach erously lure such a heart from its peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful protection ofhome who can, coward-like, break the illu sions that have won her, and des troy the confidence wh'nh love had inspired. Woe to him who has too early withdrawn the ten der plant from the props and stays of moral discipline iu which she has been nurtured, and yet make no effort to supply their places: for on him the responsibility of her errors on him who has first taught her, by his example to grow careless ot tier duty, and then ex posed her with a weakened' spirit, and unsatisfied heart, to the wide storms and w ily temptations of a sinful world." Ncio Orleans, Dec. 12. We have seen a letter from the upper part of this State, which states that lands have generally risen in value on lied Hivcrand Concord ia, he. A plantation on the Mis sissippi, containing 800 arpents, originally cost one thousand dol lars, has lately been sold for one hundred and forty thousand dol lars. In the parish of East Baton Rouge, as well as on the Ouachi taothere are many tracts that will in a few years more command ten times the sum of money now asked for them. Daily Neivs. Recognition of Brothers. An old inhabitant of this city ( says the iew Haven Herald of Tues day,) a foreigner and a German, well known to the public, was a few evenings since called on to go to a public house to see a trans ient gentleman, also a German, stopping there, who had been re marked to bear a great similarity to him, in person, speech and manners, and which had attracted the notice of some gentleman pre sent. Having attended to the j call, after an introduction, the par ties commenced a conversation in their vernacular tongue, relative to the nativity anil paternity of each, when, after a few moments, they rushed into each other's arms, with the exclamation, "Mine (Jot, you are mine broiler, " and they wept in holy silence. The scene was extremely affecting to the be holders. The brothers had been separated in youth, and for a peri od of thirty seven years had been unknown to each other. Though the transient gentleman had been frequently here on matters of busi ness, and the personal affinities had been before remarked, a dis similarity of names had prevented a recognition, the one resident here having been impressed into the l?ritish srrvire while in Lon- . , , v i i- 1 appear bHore the Justices of our Court don, and sent to the W est Indies, : o ' ,,u.as am, Qliarler vlo(1SHt (from whence he escaped tO this I the next Court to be helJ for said Coun- countrv in a vessel belonging to ' -v " ;he ;i"rborouKi.f . . . . .

A correspondent of the Hoston and .Medical Surgical Journal intim ates, that rubbing the head once or twice a day with the cut surface of a raw onion, till the roots of the hair become moistened with it, will effectually prevent the hair from falling oil". f7The Long Island Star states that the farm of Jacob Bergen, at Ucd Hook, two miles from Brook lyn ferry, has beed sold for $500, 000. It consists ot 100 acres ol land, hilly and sandy. The farm of John Skillman, at the Walla- bout, comprising 00 acres, two miles from the Brooklyn ferries, has been sold at $1500 per acre. The Regiment of U. S. Drag oons. The New York Star says that a private letter, received from Camp Des Moines, where three of the companies belonging to this ill-fated regiment are stationed, mentions the death of Assis't. Surgeon Hales and also Second Lieutenant Vanderveer, both of which officers stbod high in the estimation of all who knew them. It also states that the report of the three companies stands at that date, Dec. 9. 89 present and 4o absent since the organization of this regiment, not yet two years since. The deaths amoncr the officers in comparison has not fal- ' .. leil Short Ol the mortality among the soldiers I General, 2 Cap tains, 1 Doctor, and 4 Lieutenants, have died. A Lesson for Governors.
