For the Arena A GARLAND. I've braided thee a garland bright Of leveiy Oowcrs combined, An err.blem cf thy gtrsllo form, A symbol of thy mind. Oh, may with each rrtu-ning spring Thy hopes ns radient be. Then wear tKo wreath upon thy brow And still remember me. And brightly will the garland twl&a Around thine auburn hair, Its roses with thy rosy cheeks Will beauteousiy compare. The lilies with thine ivory brow As gracefully will vie And dew drop gems will sparkle there To match thy beaming eye, Alas that Cowers so beautiful Must wither and decay, Alas, that thus the forrest form Must shortly fade away. But mayest thou seek a better part A brighter world on high And smile to see in death's dark storm The rainbow of the skv. V. W. Louisville, Oc'. 2, 1810. t,T . , . . Indiana University

In the meantime, Mr. Trainer having casually mentioned to a merchant how well he had sold Ins municipality notes, was notified that they were not worth so much, and that the man must be a swindler.

Whigs of Michigan held a Convention on the 30th of September, which was more numerously attended than any one ever before held in that State. The Van Buren Conveution held on the Monday previous wasbut a single handful when compared to the Harrison Convention. The Detroit Daily Advertiser of the 2d inst. in speaking of the Convention, says: '-We write surrounded bv FIFTEEN THOUSAND FREEMEN, amid the din and tumult ef a mighty " Avalanche of the 2eojle!" Our streets are filled with the yeomanry of Michigan, and the ai r is vocal with their shouts! Never before has so animated a scene been witnessed within our borders.

jigan's early friend, that he who was her deBcnekr'Hill Monument. Not losg sinca Fanny Elssler, the. celebrated French Actress offered to & lC0 for tha PU1T .i.;- r.,7-- rjnj n . It appears that a diversity of opinion exist a3 to the propriety ot accepting it. i hough we do not agree with the Editor of. the NewWorld that the President of the Association should have ct once declined the offer, yet we should be sorry to hear that it was acjcepted. We think that his own delicacy ia 'taking the resposibility" should be a sufficient excuse for not rejecting the offer uncerimot:ioudy. We vre opposed to a President cf any kind exercising power too freely and if the President of the Association has not decided definitely in this matter, but only paused to consult the public good, his conduct certainly should net be censured. However, we have no doubt but that when tne people look at the matter as they shoulJ they will ba in favor of respectful! v djclinjing the oner. 1 ho ou,r may be considered as a mark of patriotism and liberality, and we should cherish grateful feelings towards her for her good will to this nation, but we should take into consideration the design of the Monument it is to represent American patriotism, and it is right that the descendants of those who spiit their blood or wore out their lives in struggling to obtain freedom, should alone contribute enough to complete tho work, without Laving occasion to resort to foreign resources. Would it not look strange to have It noised all over Europe that the liberality of Americans would not compare with tho patriotism f their ancestors, and thatjthey were too ungrateful to erect a Monument on one of most eventful spots in tho American continent without foreign aid. In the language of many of our coiemporai Us we say "let the Monument be built bv Americans." Had Fanny Elss'ar offered to donate this amount for any tiling else but a Monument we would say accept it bv all means, but let not any thing as sacred as Bunker I Jill Monument bo dependent on forfeitru contributions. The Ladies. Who would Lava thought at a Locofoeo editor would talk about tl. p'uasiu the ladies? But so it is, and w j know not what to make of it without it jone of the first s niptctns perceivable in ones turning to bj a Whig. Chapman, of tho South-Western Sentinel, in speaking of a romantic story in his paper, says: ' We could not well spare room "just now for that talc, as we have many important political documents which ought to be Burthen, we will no! be deterred pu jiished. from thus (attempting to please the ladies, ersn at this ri'fi' f an Huren's defeat.
