WE MET TO PART FOREVER.
WE MET TO PART FOREVER. BY T. BIBB BRADLEY.
We met, 'twas when her silver chain
The midnight moon was weaving,
Across a darkly rolling waste
Of waters wildly heaving.
Our hearts were not more still and calm
i nan was that roiling river,
x ur c uau euug me a morning rsuiw,
And met to part forever.
There shone a beauteous forest-sea,
: Beneath that moon's illuming;
But sorrow in our sandal-tree
Her axe had been perfuming;
And sadly gazed we on the grove
Which gut that foaming river,
And mourned to think, with all our love,
We met to part forever!
The nightingale flung on the breeze
Her richest vocal treasure,
But grief on life's low minor keys
Had struck a mournful measure:
And coldly fell the night-bird's song
We could but weep and shiver, II
To think our broken hearts were strong,
To meet and part forever!
The dew fell on the blooming vines
Our sylvan bower shaded,
But in our spirits' shattered shrines
The rose of love was faded.
Youth's golden dew which bathed it erst,
Again would bathe it never!
Alas! what blinding tear drops burst
We met to part foreverl
The archer stars sat on the sky,
Their silver arrows glancing
Against each wave that shouted by,
To ocean's waste advancing;
But we had known the poisoned darts
b rom Griers exhaustless quiver,
Which rankled in the writhing hearts,
Now met to part forever!
'Tis many a year since then we met,
And sorrows have I numbered.
But bitterer brine hath neveryet
My faded cheek encumbered;
And memory like a guilty sprite
Still haunts that lonely river.
Where in the moon's unclouded light
We met to part forever!
of
A Bold Avowal.
. Commodore Stockton, the Senator in
Congress from New Jersey, is among
the numerous Locofbco aspirants to the
Presidency. He was elected as a Dem
ocrat to his present post, by the Demo
cratic Legislature of that State. The
Commodore embraced the occasion of
Mr. Webster's visit to Newark, N. J., to
make a speech to the Legislature. It
was a singular production. Ke avows
himself in favor of a tariff of protection,
and says that the interests of New Jer
sey require a change in our tarifTsystem.
He congratulates his State that she now
has somebody in the Senate that can
speak in her behalf.
:. But the most singular avowal, we
copy below. We know that Cass star
ted in public life a Federalist, and that
Buchanan remained till after the war ofj
1810, an open, avowed member of that
party. But this is our first information
on the question of the gallant Commo
dore's early politics. Hear him:
"These may seem queer sentiments
coming from me, if I did not belong to
the young and progressive school. I
was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel
I was brought up in the straightest sects
of Federalism. My father was a Fed
eralist; 1 was one. He was the com
peer of Washington, and of Hamilton,
and other great men of thoso times.
He loved them when they lived and
loved their memory when dead, and it
was his religion to follow in the footsteps
of Washington, wherever they led. If
I had lived in those days I should have
done as they did. A purer band of pa
triots and more honest men never lived.
Perennial flowers shall ever blossom on
their graves. Those are the men whose
principles are my principles."
Liberation of tub Irish Exiles.
The Dublin . Freeman's Journal, of
the20ih of March says:
"It is reported that orders have ac
fually been issued from the Colonial
Office, or will shortly be issued, di
recting the immediate release of the
Irish exiles, subject to the condition
that they are not to return to any
part of the British islands. Mr.
Whiteside (now a member of the
Derby administration) had been an
tcxive intercessor for their liberty.

The Field of Chalmette. The
Legislature of Louisana has recently
appropriated $10,000 toward the
erection, on the old Place d'Armes,
in New Orleans, of a bronze statue
of General Jackson. During the

to recognize the spot on which the
battle took place. This the New
Orleans Delta denies, and adds:
The surface rf the country in the
vicinity of Jackson's lines on the Slh
of January, 1S15, -has undergone
less change than the scene ol any
battle -field in the United States. It
is true, there is great monotony in
the features of the whole narrow
strip of land on the left bank of the
Mississippi, below the city. The
fields are all laid off in the same
same distance toward the swamp, the
houses are built and the gardens or

little change has passed over the
country since 1SI5. It produced as
much then as it does now: sugar
was the chief product then, as it is
now. ihe bulwark thrown up by
the British on the2Sth of December,
1SI4, was made chiefly with sugar

taken from the sugar-house of Mr.
Chalmette and others, planters.
The place where the battle was
fought can be easily designated.

had his quarters, still remains. The

out. Near it is a pecan tree, under

whose fruit, it is an old Creole super
jstition, has been red ever since.
There, too, are the gnarled old live
oaks in the centre of the field, still
scarred and marked with the prints of
cannon balls and shells. And there,
too, in the neighborhood, you may
find an old negro, who can amuse
you by the hour with his reminis-
cences of the battle, and at the close
his story drive a profitable trade
with you in sundry rusty musket
balls peradventure, in some of La
fi tie's (alias Dominique YouV) chain

into the British ranks.
Burke, in
the
"Anecdotes of the
Peerage," says "It has often oc
cured to us that a very interesting
paper might be written on the rise
and fall of English families. Truly
does Dr. Borlase remark, that "the
most lasting house have only their
season, more or less, of a certain
constitutional strength; they have
their spring and summer, sunshine
glare, their wane, decline, and
death." Take, for example, the

Nevilles, the three most illustrious
names on the roll of English nobili

Margret Plantagenet, daughter
heiress of George, Duke of Clar-
ance, following the cralt of a cob
bler in the little town of Newport
Shrypshire, in the year 1638.
Besides, if we are to investigate into
fortune of many of the inheri
tors of the royal arms it would soon
discovered that "the aspiring
blood of Lancaster" had sunk into
ground. The princely streams
flows at the present day through
very humble veins. Among the
lineal decendants of Edmund of
Woodstock, Earl of Kent, sixth son
Edward I, King of England, enti
tled to a quarter of the royal arms,
occur Mr. Joseph Smart of Hale

among the decendants of Thomas

Consumption. Statistics by the
American Medical Association repre
sents that in the city of Boston, du
ring the three years from 1846 to
1849, there were 6.SSS deaths from
consumption alone, while in the
same period the deaths from typhus
lever were only U.azo, and those
from dysentery only 1,606. In the
five years from 1 S 14 to 1S49, there
were in Massachusetts 13,004 deaths
from diseases of the respiratory sys
tem 30 per cent, of the whole
mortality. In Lowell, in every 10,
000 deaths 2,500 are from lung dis
eases. According, to the lately
published registration of mortality
in Massachusetts, there were in 1S49,
4,634 deaths from diseases of the
respiratory organs; .a greater num
ber, by thousands, than were caused
by the diseases of any other set of
organs.
It will be seen from statistics like
these, that consumption is very pro
perly called the "Scourge of New
England." Cholera, small pox, and
all other epidemic and infectious dis
eases combined have never been,
and will probably never be, such
causes of deathas this one disease of
consumption.
It is evident to any thinking man
that these terrible results flow
from fatal mistakes in living. New
England has no fatal miasms, com
paratively no squalid poverty, and,
necessarily, no unhealthy food.
Our territory is covered with com
fortable dwellings, our hills rejoice
under the purest of air, vegetable
and animal come to a healthy ma
turity for the (ood of man, and the
materials of clothing are abundant.
Where lies the secret of the destroy
er? In our opinion, the answ er to this
question lies in skins debiliaied in
suffocating stove heat, to such an
extent as to make them susceptible
to the influence ol every otherwise
healthy breeze, and to every change
n the atmosphere. There is no
adaptation of clothing to tempera
ture, and there is, ui every country
town, a system of living in reeking
kitchens, stifling with their heat and
steam, that is adapted exactly, to the
production of pulmors diseases.

than endure such a horrible death,
which was granted; but after shoot

A resort to the expense of paring
a considerable space under the trees,
is hardly consistent with prevailing

paratively lew have adopted that
plan. And the process of tan-in?

borious, disagreeable, and precarious
way of getting at the object.
Our attention has been directed to
this matter, and our hopes somewhat
excited, by an incidental remark

and had the t t a of Duk H Rth
conferred upon him. He made all
the campaigns of Germany, where
he commanded a corps cTormce. He
was present at the battle of Lulzen,
urtzen, and Dresden. In 1814 b
received orders to form a junction
with Marshal Mortier to keep bark
the army of Blucher, and to cover
fans. Marmont occupied the Bolts
pamte-Chaumont, but instead of
fighting, he opened negotiations with
iho .P"P.8.. de Schwartzenberg.
WIIH,A y III. gave the command of
ono 01 ,ne companies of his body
guard to the Duke de Raguse, and he
retired to Ghent with the King. On
the second restoration, his company
was disbanded. In 1826 he repre
sented France at'the coronation of
the army at Paris. Since thai period
he had been a Voluntary exile in
fore'Pn 'and. His name had been
struck out from the list of the Mar
shall of France, and a black veil
covered his portrait In the Salle des
nlarechaux at the palace of the
Tuileries.
The capital feature in Marmont'a
biography is the separate capitula
tion by which he betrayed the Em
peror at rontainbleau, and accor-

Marmont, rivet ted by his betraval
the Emperor to the cause of the
liourbons, and prevented by the
excess of his apostacy from imitating
weannes oi xey, formed one of
fugitive courls at Gand, and re
entered France with the second re--storation.
He was commander-in-
chief of the army when Charles X.
expelled by the citizens of Paris
crimes which have been since par
doned by Louis Napoleon. By his
fidelity to the exiled court ol the
elder Bourbons, Marmont repaired
some measure the stain which his
treacherous betrayal of the Emperor,
1814, must ever leave upon his
memory.
