Now prav X Q's this humble lay, I C I can't X L; But I shall all my powers S A, A story for to tell. In olden time a firmer dwelt, Before the river D, But H the panc;s of love he felt, 4 sweet L I's R V. His cottage clad in I V grecr, He view'd with heart L $ And O, he cried, my lovely queen, Come share my hapy state. Our hero was but 4 T C, I. I's R8 To, But C what wonders love can do, Her age he did not C. With NRG he pressed his suit, He loved her to X S; Alas! poor C's R's tongue was mute, At her E's E address. Now C's to T's me with your suit, But pray you now R I's; I love a handsome man, U brute, Wh is in the X I's. 8aid C's R, U R a cruel maid, To love my N M E; If this is how my love's repaid, I'll lay me down and die. Said she I 4 C how 'twill be, Base.N V fills thy heart; Now quickly from my presence flee, And try to heal thy smart. Poor C's R hastened to his cot, Look'd at his rams and U's; And then an L of rope he got, And tied a deadly noose. Next minute in the air he swung, And sure relief he found; The little birds about him sung, And 1 N's strut around. But now in the cold grave E lies, And sweet P's near it bloom; I must leave off so wipe your I's, And visit C's R's tomb. WOMAN. Oh! thou'rt a ministering angel when To a poor lonely one; And sure man's life without thee, then A world without a sun! Baltimore, Feb. 2. We learn from Captain Smith, at this port on Saturday, from Montevideo, that a diabolical attempt had been made, in the first week of Decem ber, to blow up the U. S. Schoon er Enlerprize, then lying in the harbour of Montevideo. It ap pears that a mulatto seaman belonging to the schooner, from some motive of malice or revenge, had contrived to deposite in the powder magaiine coals of fire trapped up in linen. They were, however, discovered and removed before any mischief was done, and the design of destroy ing vessel and crew frustrated. Tiie investigation which immedi ately succeeded the discovery, showed that the crew of the En terprise had all been at their pro per station except the mulatto in question, who was found in . the boat alongside, where it was evi dent he had gone to be out of the reach of danger. TheU. S. ships Natchez, Ontario, and Erie, were also lying at Montevideo at the time of this affair, and when Capt. S. sailed, Com. Renshaw was holding a court martial over the mulatto, who, it was supposed, would be executed. American. Handsome Dividend. The llaleigh Rail Road Company, whose road extends from the Stone Quarry to the Capitol, has declared a Dividend of 25 per cent, of profits of the last six months. Whilst making such a handsome profit for the enterpris- iug Stockholders, this work has produced an immense saving to the State. lay. Obs. ' Liberia. The .American Co Ionization Society has determined lo despatch to Liberia, in the course of tne ensuing month, a vessel from New Orleans, with the sixty two recaptured Afri can, lately placed at the disposi tion of the General Government by the judgment of one of its Courts, and whom the Society Vave undertaken to restore to their naYive land. The- vessel will also carry out a plentiful up- piy of provisions and" trad? good?, with several bales of cotton. They have also directed to be purchased and sent to the Colony, bv a vessel shortly to sail Iroro Philadelphia, all the necessary implement for manufacturing cot ton, such as cards, wheels looms, &c, in order that the women, and children, and men, unable to en 5:1 jre in the labors of agriculture, may be usefully employed in a Hon-e of lndusry. The Reverend J. H. Finney, the present agent of the Colony, having expressed a desire to enter upon .nisNu)U3ry labors, his ori nml object, the Board has ap pointed Dr. Ezekiel Skinner, late , Connecticut, Colonial Agent in hi place, apprising him "that he will be relieved from the du ties of that station, and enabled to devote himself wholly to his pro fessional persuits, so soon as they can procure the services of a suit able .successor 10 the agency." fX7"A gentleman near Natchez, has liberated his slaves, about twenty in number, and furnished them ' with from $200 to $100 each, to promote their comforta ble settlement in Liberia Oxford Exam. The effects of bad company. A young man named Alden C. Mont fort, a cartman, formerly in the employ of Buloid and Caswell, was brought up on a charge of having forged the name of that firm to a check of fifty dollars, which was cashed by Mr. John Duncan, of Broadway, to whom he presented the check, saying he was in want of the money, and that being after bank hours, he knew not where to obtain it. Mr. Duncan not doubting the truth of the storv, gave him the money. It appears he has been guilty of the same trick in a number of cases. He acknowledged his guilt, attributing his present situa tion to the influence of bad compa nv, being led to drink and gamble by a number of young men who, in the capacity of "volunteers" to the firemen, assemble in the engine houses and spend their nights in drink and cards. He was to hav e been married on Sunday. A'. Y. Star. Sentence of the Baltimore Bait Boad Rioters. Qwvn Mur phy is to be hung.. .Terence Coil and Patrick Gallagher, found guilty of murder in the second degree, are to be confined eighteen years in the penitentiary. ...the first year their confinement will be solitary.... Ship of war sunk.

This, says the Richmond Enquirer, "realizes those brilliant hopes which have been so long cherish ed by some of the purest patriots of the State. Nature has pointed out this communication between the James and the Ohio, as the best, the nearest, and cheapest route, which can be established between the Eastern and Western waters. We fervently believe, that the Legislature has at last spoken it into existence. It binds the State more firmly together. It forms another most important link for binding the Union together." GT'Tlie following is extracted from a well written letter book, entitled "Code of Manners." It should be extensively circulated j and attentively read, for the bene fit of the great human family. Rules for Young Ladies. At jifucnXfiect vivacity, and line your bonnet with pink. In the company of the man you wonld like for your husband, hold your breath long enough to blush; when he speaks to you, incline vour eyes downwards in giving an answer. Be cautious at this age to wear gowns made high in the neck, that your charms may be conceived the greater. At sixteen Seem to have a high spirit, with the most un bounded submission to the opin ion o f the favored one. You may now look, when in conversation in the gentleman's face; but be cautious that the eye-brows are kept well arched. Affect a great fondness for little babies, and get the credit of being a good nurse. At seventeen Read the news of literature and fashion, and form your opinion of the follies of the day upon what you hear from others, and not upon what you observe and know yourself. Keep the works of Byron, Scott, Bulwer, James, and other popu lar authors, lying on your table, to induce a belief that you have them all at your tongue's end, and that you keep pace with the literati of the age. It is pleasant to hear ready discussions about the beauties and virtues to be found in such character as Flora Mclvor, Rowena, Rebecca, Julia Mannering, May Dacre, ckc. he. Read "Cookery made Easy," and "Heloise and Abelard," in secret. At Eighteen Look for a hus band for yourself, and practise making baby linen for a friend. Condemn playgoing women, and talk of the happiness of retirement ; and domestic life, bimper "mim iny piminy" to put your lip3 in a pretty shape, and kiss gentlemen voluptuously before gentlemen, to set them a longing. Wear low frocks, but don't show oil too much. Talk of modesty, discre tion and industry in others, to prove that you think of them sometimes yourself. At nineteen Go to routs, par ties, but avoid general flirting. Dress fashionably, but with great decency. Wear no flowers in the hair, but let the curls be displayed widely. Laugh when others look grave, and when particularly engaged in conversation, study to appear meditative and absent. It will co far to fix an air of romance about you, and cause much talk and speculation. Such deceptions are harmless and ad missible in the tenderer sex. At twenty Consider yourself in danger of getting a husband, and now suit your conduct to your circumstances. Talk of the rari ty o( suitable matches, and your de termination to be circumspect. CA man by the name of Rice was suddenly killed in Holliston, Massachusetts, a few days ago, by the bursting of a small swivel. He had loaded it with powder, and having no wadding at hand, threw some snow into the mouth of the swivel, which caused it when fired to burst in fragments. Important Fact. Our Yankee friends must bestir themselves, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, in relation to American manufac tures. We have it from the best authority that cotton yarn, manu factured at Petersburg Va. is now selling in this market at a lower rate than the eastern articles can ! be obtained for and the southern ! gentlemen are satisfied with their! present profits. This yarn is the j product of slave labour, and is said to be equal in all respects to that prepared in New England. The period is not remote when a proper tariff will be as popular at the south as at the north. Phil. Enquirer. West Indies. Accounts from Jamaica, via Norfolk, up to December 24th, are very grati fying. The Island is quiet, and order is restored through the greater vigilance of the stipendia ry magistrates.
