From the New York Atlas. THE BRIDE. Condemn me not, that I did wed Condemn me not unheard: For, ah! I had resistless cause I had, upon my word. The ruthless years were hurrying on, And brought no swain to me, Till eighteen hundred thirty-one, When 1 numbered twenty-three! Thou know'st, alas! thou truly know'st, No art was left untried, To make poor Green a blissful spouse, And me a happy bride. He kissed and twined my clustering curl?, And hung enraptured o'er, Till that most fatal night, he dropped Their glories on the'floor. And Clinton, too, he praised my teeth, Until he heard of Flagg, And learnt the pearl that graced my mouth, Had, some time gemmed my bag. And Wilson swore my "twinkling feet" Were like the Maid of Lorn's, Until he found their beauties cost The sore expense of corns! Dear little Hobanob I lost, Because I was so tall; And that unmeasured Ilubadub Declared I was too small. And Wilson heard me scold "the man," And Johnson, beat "the maid" Was ever poor unfortunate So wretchedly betrayed. Thou knowest the'mild philosophy Of this o'erflowing heart; How light the chain will rest upon My present better part. I did not ask for store of love, But only store of cash: And cut the hope of sentiment, In hope to cut a dash. Gently our peaceful lives will glide, Like some unruffled dreams; He wedded to his peerless wife, And I, to cakes and creams! And while bright fashion's leading star, I grace the gay quadrille, My friendly spouse will stay at home, To keep the children still! (KPFrom a grave-stone in a church-yard in Dorsetshire, Eng. answered by a gentleman, on the widower's marrying again in a fortnight: EPITAPH. For me deceased, weep n6t, my dear, I am not dead, but sleepeth here; Your time will come, prepare to die; Wait but awhile, you'll follow I. ANSWER. . I am not grieved, my dearest life; Sleep on I've got another wife: And therefore cannot come to thee, For I must go to bed tS she. o-D2'S2 A strange Story. From a Tallahassee paper of the. 15th ult. we learn the follow ing facts: Sentence of death having been passed by the Superior Court of Florida upon a man by the name of Rogers, he was respited by the Secretary, Mr. West cott, until Governor Duval should arrive, from whom strong hopes of executive mercy were entertained by the criminal and his friends. Accordingly on his ar rival a formal application for pardon was made; but at the time and place appoint ed for the hearing, the counsel for the criminal found nothing but the Governor's written refusal to interfere in the matter. upon tins lie was applied to with the ap probation of Judge Randall, who presi ded at the trial of Rogers, for another' re spite till the meeting of the Court of Er rors; but .rather than meet the responsi bility even of granting this application he resigned his office as Governor of Flori da. Ilig etlcr 0f resignation to the Pre sident, with his commission enclosed, to gether with a note to the Secretary, re questing him to put the letter of resigna tion into the Post Office and assume the executive duties, were handed to Mr. Westcott, who thereupon secreted him self to avoid the application for the re spite; but being ferreted out and compel led to hear it he declared he had no pow er to act in the case, and if he thought he had, he would resign too. During the progress of this farce, Rogers was exe cuted: upon which the Secretary took upon himself to retain the resignation and commission of Gov. Duval, who, it is understood, has taken them back and re sumed the duties of his office. ..IV. T. Cou Ustful discovery by a Ladij.y's stated in the Ravenna (Ohio) Courier, that an important discovery was made at Copcly, Medina county, by a lady. Mr. Vail, his son, and another person, were digging a well, and the son having gone down first, was prostrated on breathing the noxious vapor or damps below. His father descended , to his relicfand the third started for a physician; in the mean time several ladies assembled at the place and one threw down a pail of wa ter, most of which fell on the face of Mr. Vuil, who caught breath, rose and seized the senseless body of his son, got into the tub, and was drawn up by the ladies. Water was immediately applied to the young man, which in a short time produ ced symptoms of returning life. Mr. V. in a few hours attained his usual health and strength, and the young man by me dical aid, had so far recovered as to be able to walk about on the succeeding day. The experiment of letting down a lighted candle was made, which went out at the distance of six feet from the top of the well; a live chicken was also let down, and at the depth of six feet, animation became suspended; but by pouring down water upon it, animation was immediate ly restored. From these it appears, that on inhaling this gas, life is only suspend ed, and that the application of water will restore it; whether by conveying atmos pheric air contained in the water, to the or from some other cause. GTMr. Hall, the Editor of the Jersey man, a Jackson paper, is about to vacate his editorial chair in favor of a Mr. Rob bins, from Massachusetts, and devote his time and talents to a cultivation of the earth. May the "teeming mother1' of us all be propitious to her returning child, who leaves the creation of paragraphs for the growing of parsnips, and drops his pen to take up the pitchfork. May he find potatoes. more profitable than poli tics, and poaches rather. that pollings, the fruit of his application. We applaud-ilie resolution of our bro ther; the new profession, if it is as little productive of wealth (which is scarcely possible) as that which he has left, will nevertheless minister directly to health, the mother of happiness. The rounded visage, the firm muscle, the steady gait, and smile of content, all owe themselves to rural labors while dimness of vision, trembling nerves, bowed frame, uneven tread and an early grave, come from the editorial desk. Men may talk of exer cise as they will; the best functions of the human frame fail before these labors. Point to the man who sits among news papers, inditing paragraphs and pasting selections, and you designate one to whom belongs, cither in possession or short perspective, decayed physical powers, the sunken eye and sallow sickly visage. Early habits may for a short time prevent these things, but "to this complexion must he come at last." U. S. Gaz. A rogue in grain. A person wishing to purchase a number of yards of bed ticking, he called at a store, the mer chant had but one piece, and it lacked just one vaid Of the ntinnfifv. tho. nnrlin. " J . J J I J.

I started,' said he, (we had the story from the merchant's own mouth) 'ran into a back yard, unrolled the piece, put it round a smooth post, and gave it a most a d 1 of a pulling, rolled it up and returned with it, measured it off to" my customer, when it held out a quarter of a yard over what he icaiitcd, which, in consideration of his waiting for me to go to my house I very generously gave him!' ' ffHo who cannot live contented any where will live contented no where. Little things agitates little minds." Reading makes the mind full, writing Accurate, and conversation ready.
