There was a time when thou would'st smile, My weary moments .to beguile And chide me if I was not near, With many a sad and silent tear. Thou weepest now, if I but twine Thy small, white trembling hand in mine; And tho' I smile and still am near, I only mark the silent tear. There was a time, when thou wouldst prove, By every Ianguishmcnt thy love, And grasp my hand, when I was near, To wipe away thy silent tear. Ah! well I know the secret grief But, oh! I cannot yield relief; Mine is the same the grief of years Witness, alas! my silent tears. Milford Bard. From the Same. THE SUNBEAM. I flit o'er the ocean 'tis shrouded in light; I s:iiile on the landscape 'tis verdant and bright I touch the blue heavens with saffron an 1 gold, And the bright hues of Iris resplendent u .fold. The blush of the rose is awoke by my gaze; I whisper, young zephyr obedient plays: All beings of beauty, o'er streamlet and dell, Arc called into life by the power of my spell. The sparkling of fountains the glow of the rill The shadows that rest on the breast of the hill The gay wreaths of light, that the wild billows ride, All owe to my magic their glory and pride. I peer through the casement, and scatter the gloom That broods o'er the captive, and lighten his doom: O dearest of triumphs that flows from my art, To banish one pang from the sufferer's heart. And thus, 'midst the tempests and storms that arise, A rainbow of hope will I spread in the skies And on hearts, or o'er landscape, wherever I stray A j'oy and a glory shall follow my way. S. P.

MISFORTUNE AND EXILE ENNO BLED. BIT MADAME d'aBRANTES. In 1793 M. de Talleyrand was in Boston. One day while crossing the market place he was compelled to stop, by a long row of wa gons all loaded with vegetables. The wily courtier, generally so dead to emotion, could not but look with a kind of pleasure at these wagoners, who, by the by, were young and pretty country women. Suddenly the vehicles came to a stand, and the eyes of M. de Tal leyrand chanced to rest upon one of the young women who appeared more lovely than the others. An exclamatiou escaped from his lips it attracted the attention of the fair one, whose country dress and large hat bespoke daily visits to the market, as she beheld the as tonished Talleyrand, whom she recognised immediately, burst out a laughing. "What! is it you?" exclaimed she. "Yes indeed, it is I. But you, what are you doing here'" "I," said the young woman, "I am waiting for my turn to pass on I am going to sell my greens and vegetables at the market." At this moment the wagons began to move along; she ot the straw hat applied the whip to her horse, told 31. de Talleyrand the name of the village where she was living, requested him earuestly to come and see her, disappear ed, aud left him as rivetted on tho spot by this starange apparition. Who was this young market woman? Ma dame la Comtesse de la Tour-du-Pin, (Mada moiselle de Dillon) the most elegant among the ladies of the Court of Louis the Sixteenth, King of France, and whose moral and intel lectual worth had shone with so dazzling a lustre in the society of her numerous friends and admirers. At the time when the French nobility emigrated she was lively, endowed with the most remarkable talents, and like all the ladies who held a rank at the court, had only had time to attend to such duties as be longed to her high fashionable and courtly life. Let any one ancy the sufferings and agoay of that wom?u born in the lap of wealth, nud who hadr-eathed nothing but perfume, under the giU'ed coiling of thfi Itoyal Palace at Ver sailles, when all at once she found herself sur rounded with blood and massacre, and saw every kind of danger besetting her young and beloved husband, and ner ipianr. cnua. They succeeded in flying from France. It was their good" fortune to escape from the bloody land where Robespierre and his asso ciates were busy at the work ot dcain. Alas: in those times of terror the poor children iiemselves abandoned with joy tho paternal loof, for no hiding place was secure against the vigilant eye of those monsters who th List ed for innocent blood. The fugitives lauded in America, -and first went to Boston, where they found a retreat. But what a change for the young, pretty, and fashionable lady, spoiled from infancy by loud and continued praises of her beauty and tal ents. Mons. de la Tour-du-Pin was extravagant ly fond of his wife. At the Court of France he had seen her, with the proud eye of a hus band, t!ie object of admiration; indeed her conduct had always been virtuous and exem nlarv: but now in a foreign land, among unsophisticated republicans, (1793) what was the use of courtly refinements? A tho rough knowledge of "La Bonne Fermere"t of Parmientier seemed to him far preferable to a rondeau of Clementi,lj: or "La Coquette" of Herman. S Haupy as he was in seeing her escape from all the perils he had dreaded on her own ac count, still he could not but deplore the future lot of the wife of his bosom. However, witn the" foresight of a good father and kind hus- . , w j :. a band, he nervea nimsen agaiusi ueptu, uu exerted hansel! to render their conamon less miserable than that of many emigrants who 1 i:.lA n.jnAm. fliaW VkOt were starving wueu uie muo uiuuc; brought over with them was exhausted. Not a word of English did he know, but his wife spoke fluently and admirably well. They boarded at Mrs. Muller's, a good na- tured notable woman, who, on every occa sion, evinced the greatest respect aud admira tion for her fair boarder; yet M. de la Tour-du-Pin was in constant dread lest the conver sation of thai good, plaid, and well meaning woman might be the cause ot great ennui io his lady. W hat a contrast with the society of such gentlemen as M. de Norboune, M. de Talleyrand, and the nign-minaea ana pousnea nobility of France! Whenever he was think ing of this sad transition, (particularly when absent from his wife, and tilling the garden of the cottage which they were going to inhabit) he felt such pangs and heart-throbbings as to make him apprenensive on ins reiuni iu xtxis. Muller to meet the looks of his beloved wife, whom he expected to see bathed in tears. TVTnn while his srood hostess would give him a hearty shake of the hand, and repeat to him, "Happy husband! Happy husband." At last came the day when the fugitive family left the boarding house of Mrs. Muller, to go and inhabit their little cottage, when they were to be at -least exempi irum waui, only servant, a negro and kind of Jack.of-all trades, viz: gardener, iuouimu, u She returned to France under the Consulate her husband was Perfect of a Department. tShe was an excellent performer, and played ad mirably on the piano. I A ceieDraiea tuuipuoo. . Professor of Music to tb.s-Q.ueen. The last function M. de la Tour-du-Pin dreaded most of all to see him undertake. It was almost dinner time. The poor emi grant went into his little garden to gather some fruits, and tarried as long as possible. On his return home, his wife was absent; looking for her, he entered the kitchen, and saw a young country woman, who, with her back to the door, was kneading the dough; her arms of a snowy whiteness, were bare to the elbows. M. de la Tour-du-Pin started, the young woman turned round. It was his beloved wife, who had exchanged her muslins and silk for a country dress, not as for a fancy ball, but to play the part of a real farmer's wife. At the sight of her husband har cheeks crimsoned, aud she joined her hands in a supplicating manner. "Oh, my love," said she, "do not laugh at me. I am as expert as Mrs. Muller." Too full of emotion to speak, he elapsed her to his bosom and kissed her fervently. From his inquiries he learned that when he thought her given up to despair, she had employed her time more usefully for their future happiness. She had iaketi lessons from Mrs. Muller and her servants and after six months had be come skilful in the culinary art, a thorough housekeeper, discovering her angelic nature aud admirable fortitude. "Dearest," contiuued she, "if you knew how easy it is. We, in a moment, understand what it would cost country women sometimes one or two years. Now we shall be happy you will no longer be afraid of ennui for me, nor I of your doubt about my abilities, of which I will give you many proofs," said she, looking with a bewitching smile at him. "Come, come, you promised us a salad, and I am going to bake for to-morrow, the oven is hot. To-day the bread ofthe town will do but oh! henceforward leave it to me." From that moment, Madame de la Tour-du-Pin kept her word; morover she insisted in going herself to Boston, to sell her vegeta bles and cream cheese. It was on such an errand to town that M. de Talleyrand met her. The day after he went to pay her a visit ana met her in the poultry yard, surrounded by a host of fowls, hungry chickens, and pigeons. Truly might have been said of her: "Aux petits des oiseaux tu domes la pature, T2t ta bontes etend stir toutc la nature." From thee, unfledsfd binis receive their food, And all that live know well that thou art good. She was all that she had promised to be. Besides her health had been so much bene fitted that she seemed less fatigued by the house work than if she had attended the balls of a winter. Her beauty, ?T which had been remarkable in the gorgeous palace of Versail les, was dazzled in her cottage in the new world. M. de Talleyrand said as much to her. "Indeed!" replied she, with naivette, "in deed, do you think sof 1 am delighted to hear it. A woman is always and every where proud ot her personal attractions." At that moment the black servant bolted into the drawing room, holding in his hand his jacket with a long rent iu the back. "Mis ses, him jacket torn; please mend him." She immediately took a needle, repaired Gul lah's jacket, and continued the conversation with charming simplicity. This little adventure left a deep impression on the mind of M. de Talleyrand, who used to relate it with that tone of voice peculiar to his narrations. ItShe was perfectly well made, tall, (air, and her complexion of an uncommon purity. From the United States Gazette. If we trace back the great improvements of the world we shall generally find that, onr before they were brought into use or perfection, the possibility of them had dawn ed upon some great genius, whose prophetic gaze penetrated deep into the dim and ob scure future. There is, perhaps, no more remarkable instance of this species of inspira tion than that which is to be found in the following lines from Darwin's Botanic Car den, written, we believe, about the year 1780, loni before the earliest attempt to use steam as an agent for propelling vessels up on the water or carriages upon land. ''Nymphs! you erewhile on simmering cauldrons play'd, And called delighted Savery to your aid: Bade round the youth explosive Steam aspire In gath ring clouds, and wing'd the wave with Are; Bade with cold streams the quick expansion stop, And sunk the immense of vapor to a drop. Prcss'd by the ponderous air the Piston falls Resistless, s'idrur through its iron walls; Quick moves the balanced beam, of giant-birth, Wields his large limbs, and nodding shakes the earth. iiThp Oiant-Power from earth's-remotest caves Lifts with strong arm her dark reluctant waves; Each cavern'd rock, and hidden den explores, Draws her dark coals, and digs her shining, ores. Next, in close cells of ribbed oak, confined, Gale after gale, He crowds the struggling wind; Thf imnrison'd storms throush brazen nostrils roar, Fan the white flame, and fuse the sparkling ore. Mo-h in air the risinff stream tie pours To clay-built cisterns, or to lead lined towers; Fresh through a thousand pipes the wave distills, And thirsty cities drink the exuberant rills. Thore the vast mill stone with inebriate whirl On trembling floors his forceful fingers twirl, ww flintv teeth the eolden harvests grind, Feast without blood! and nourish human-kind. "Now his hard hands on Mona's rifted crest, Bosom'd in rock, her azure ores arrest; With iron lips his rapid rollers seize The lengthening bars, in thin expansion Bjnesie; Descending screws with ponderous fly-wheels wound The tawny plates, tho new medallions round; Hard dyes of steel the cupreous circles cramp, And with quick fall his massy hammers stamp. The Harp, the Lily and the Lion join, And George and Britain guard the sterling coin. 'Soon shall thy arm, unconquered steam! afar Drag the slow barge, or drive the rapid cor; Or on wide waving wings expanded bear The flying chariot through the fields of air. Fair crews triumphant, leaning from above, Shall wave their fluttering kerchiefs as they move; Or warrior-bands alarm the gaping crowd. And armies shrink beneath the shadowy cloud! In a London copy of Darwin's work, now lying before us, and which was printed up wards of fifty years ago, we find the follow ing note, proving, beyond question, that, so early as 1790, steara had been used for the purpose of coining money "Mr. Boulton has lately constructed at Soho near Birmingham, a most magnificent apparatus for coining., which has cost him some thousand pounds; the whole machinery is moved by an improved steam engine, which rolls the copper for half pence finer than copper has before been rolled for the purpose of making money; it works the cou poirs or screw-presses for cutting out the circular pieces of copper; and coins both the faces and the edges of the money at the same time, with such superior excellence and cheapness of workmanship, as well as with marka of such powerful machinery as must totally prevent clandestine imitation, and in consequence save many lives from the hands of the executioner; a circumstance worthy the attention of a great minister. If a civic crown was given in Rome for preserving the life of one citizen, Mr. Boulton should be covered with garlands of oak! By this ma chinery four boys ten or twelve years old are capable of striking thirty thousand guin eas in an hour, and the machine itself keeps an unerring account ofthe pieces struck." How completely has the prophecy been fulfilled. The "unconquered arm" of steam already "Drags the slow bargs and drives the rapid car;" in a manner which, if the poet could now rise from the grave, would even go beyond the picturing ofthe fervid imagination. The achievements of this extraordinary agent, in stead of falling short of, have far exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine of those who have most thoroughly studied and best comprehend the extent of its capa city. Baltimore Chronicle. Habits oj Louis Philippe. Persons who have access to Louis Philippe, state that his manner is affable and plain; but, by an estab lished etiquette, no stranger approaches with in seven or eight paces of his person. If this etiquette be infringed, it is always in favor of Englishmen and Americans, of whom he has a high opinion. He converses with these gentlemen in their own language, which ha speaks with great fluency, and without the slightest foreigu accent; and appears to take great interest in all the information that they give to him on" commerce and manufactures. The habits of Louis Philippe are active and industrious; he rises at an early hour, takes frugal repasts, and works with more zeal than aoy of his Ministers. Before he was King, he superintended his own personal af fairs, let his own farms, and sold his own pro duce. His private fortune is said to amount to more than twenty millions sterling, and to be constantly accumulating, notwithstanding the large sums which he has contributed to public works. It is even believed that from his habits of economy, he has been able to save these sums out ofthe allowance made to him by the State, and which is far too large for a constitutional monarchy. The Queen, and the other members of the Royal Family go out frequently, aud arc to be seen without difficulty. The Duke of Orleans, the eldest son ofthe King, drives or rides often through the streets of Paris, but is never seen on foot. The Hand-book to Paris. The duties accruing on importations which have been made at the port of New York, for the second quarter of the present year, are nearly twice the amount of the duties for the same period last year. We have obtained the following statement at the custom-house: Amount of duties paid in the district of New York dur ing the second quarter of the present year, - $3,683,835 44 Second quarter, 1838 - 2,184,090 30 Increase, - $1,504,795 14 Imports for the same district, second quarter of the pre sent year, - - 22,743,183 00 Exports, same period, - 10,321,859 00 Imports for the same district, second quarter of the pre sent year, Exports, same period, 22,758,183 00 10,321,859 CO Imports over exports - 12,426,324 00 The cause of this increase, we take it, is twofold the actual augmentation of imports, and the stricter and juster system of collect ing introduced by the present collector.
