A JJiac uu vspuu, iiunuat, nuuri.
I like an open, honest heart.
Where frankness loves to dwell,
Which has no place for base dcccit,
Nor hollow words cau tell;
But in whose throbbings plain are seen,
Tho import of the mind,
Whoso gentle breathings uttor nought,
But accents true and kind.
I acorn that one whose empty act
And honied words of art.,
Betray tho feelings of the soul,
With perfidy's keen dart;
No more kind friends in such confide,
Nor in their kindness trust,
For black ingratitude but turns
Pure Friendship to disgust.

For one who confidence betrays.
Anil guilt lias sore beguil'd ;
That hate which hellish fiends cvinco,
"When in dark torments toss'd,
Is not tuoro loathsome to the ?o?l,
Than one to honor lost.
Then give me one with heart as free,
And gen'rous as the air,
Whose ready hand and greeting kind,
(jive proof that truth in there.
"Whose smiling countenance well shows,
Affection warm ib found,
auq springs pure as samte, whose notes
Through Heaven's vaults resound.
MISCELLANY.
Qen. Pierce to the Democracy of Virginia.
Gen. Pierce having been invited by the
Democracy of Fredericsburg, (Va.) to attend
a celebration of their late victory, addressed
them the following letter :
Gentlemen : I shall bo constrained by
official engagements to deny myself the
pleasure of participating in the proposed
celebration at Fredericsburg on the 13th
inst., but I beg to present my hearty congratulations
upon the late signal triumph of
sound principles and manly sentiments in
the "Old Dominion."
Pre-eminently prominent as the sons of
Virginia have been, from tho commencement
of the Revolution, for their bold ad
vocncy of the cause of freedom?for their
consistent and patriotic devotion to the only
principles Upon which a government,
constituted like ours, can be sustained; it
may well be doubted, whether they have
v ever achieved for themselves more distinguished
honor than in the late election, or
nave ever rendered a higher service to this
Union.
If political heresies and religious intolerance
could have shaken and carried th?;
stronghold of that, party, upon the faithfulness,
patriotism, intelligence, and courage
of which the country has beeu obliged
mainly to rely in every period of serious
danger, whether arising from foreigu arms
or domestic dissensions, it would have been
the occasion, if not of discouragement, yet
of profound regret and sorrow, to those
who revere the Constitution under which, as
a nation, we have attained such amazing
advancement, and have realized socially results
so unexampled in the history of the
human race.
The proud elevation on' which the Commonwealth
of Virginia now stands is freely
Tecognized and deservedly honored from
one extremity of the Union to the other.
"With my best wishes for a joyous gathering,
worthy of such a. State and such a
triumph, you will please to accept my cordial
thanks for your kind invitation.
I am, gentlemen, with high respect, your
obliged fellow citizen,
Franklin Pierce.
Messrs. Eustace Conway, J. G. Galla?her,
A. K. Phillips, and S. G. Daniel,
Jommittee.
Bank Bills not Monev.?In the case
of the State of Georgia vs. Russell M. Tuttle,
tried before the Superior Court of Chatham
county in that State, on the 2d inst.,
the indictment charged the prisoner with
having swindled S. A. Griggs out of six
hundred dollars in monev. The counsfll
lor the prisoner asked the Cdujrt to instruct
the jury that bank bills were not comprehended
in the term money, but the money
only meant coin; which instruction the
Court (counsel having been heard on both
rides,) gave; and the evidence having
shown it was bank bills that the prisoner
received, he was found not guilty.

Punch says: "Whore therein a lookingglass
in the room, you will generally find a
knot of Frenchmen assembled around it.
Where there is a fire in the room, you will
generally find a group of Englishmen standing
in front of it, with the backs of two or
three of them, their coat-tails uplifted, turned
elegantly towards it. Punch might
have added, "Where there is a bar in the
room, you will generally find a number of
American bucks before it, sucking juleps
and smoking cigars."
A Yankee who went over to the mother
country some time ago, was asked on his
return, how he liked Great Britain. "Well,"
he said, "England is a very nice country,
exceedingly fertile, well cultivated, very
populous, and very wealthy ; but," continued
the Yankee, "I never like to take a
morning walk after 'breakfast, because the
country is so small that I was afraid of
walking oil tlio edge."
A follow at a race course was staggering
about the track, with more liquor than he
could carry. "Hello! what's the matter
now ?" said a chap whom tho inebriated
individual had just run against. "Why?
hie?why," said the fellow, so drunk lie
was hardly able to articulate, "tho fact is, a
lot of my friends have been betting liquor on
tho raco to-day, and they havo got me to
hold tho stakes."
Buhned to Death.?A Virgiuia pnpor
tells the following: Mrs. George Kcllar,
who resides near Churchville, Augusta county,
(Va.,) was riding oo horseback last
Thursday and smoking a pipe, when her
clothes took on fire and she was burned to
d^ath. The Staunton Vindictator states
j that her cries were hoard at the house whore
she had stopped to litgt her pipe, but before
assistance arrived she was dead.
Destructive Storm in Kentucky.?
The Louisville Courier learns that, a tremendous
storm of wind, rain and hail passed
over Franklin county, in that State, on the
IOth instant, prostrating tho wheat, frr:t
trees and fences in every direction. The
hail, it is said, was piled up in someplace*
six feet. The damages are estimated at
*100,000.
Shakspeare says he found "sermons in
stones;" apolitical wire-puller, who shall
be nameless, says that since the clergy have
bognn to preach on politics, he often finds
stones in sermons, and that one of them
hit him rather hard on Fast Day.
The Knoxville YYhitr r:ivs fl.nl. fho

section of tlio Rabun Gap Road, leading
through tlio city to the river from the depot,
is now pretty nearly graded. The Whig
thinks there is no doubt now about the ultimate
completion of the enterprise.
The Directors of the Exchange Hank of
Columbia have declared a semi-annual div
idend of seventy-five cents per share or six
per cent per annum. So says tlio Carolinian.

There is an oak tree near Raleigh, N. C.,
