STANZAS. Time speeds along, and leaves a chequered waste To mark the footsteps of his trampling haste; Sighs mix with smiles and blend confus"dly there, Though sorrow's signet seals ths greater share. A faded rose may deck tha withered way, And scatter sweetness even in decay, Smile through the thorns that form its rigid bed, And shed its fragrance o'er tho slumb'ring dead ; But shattered hopes and broken joys are there, And seared hopes and curses and despair . Thus wailed my soul, as down the glimmerinc pact 5 i Through light and shade her tearful eye she cast. The twilight fell upon the mouldering tombs, (Moss grown, and dark, and wrapped in sombre gloom,) Of those, the loved, the loving, and the kind , "Whose gen'rous hearts were closest knit to mine; With whom, in childhood's hour of guileless mirth, Link'd hand in hand I trod tLo gladsome earth. Those bosoms, where the blind and slu worm Is rev'ling now, were beating then, and warm With those ailed ions by whose only light This world of storm, and gloom, andcloud, and night, Assumes the hue of gladness, joy , or bliss: But oh, enough, enough, too much of this: 1 turn me to the future's cheating hope, Again to be betrayed, deceived, and weep. lUtOORSIDE. FRIENDSHIP. We have been friends together, In sunshine and in shade, Since first beneath the chesnut tiees In infancy we played: But coldness dwells within thy heart, A cloud is on thy brow; We have been friends together Shall a slight word part us now? We have been gay together We have laughed at little jests, For the fount of hope was gushing Warm and joyous in our breasts: But laughter now hath fled thy lip, And sullen glooms thy brow; We hive been gay together Shall a light word part us now ? We have been sad together We have wept with bitter tears, O'er grass grown graves, where slumbered The hopes of early years. The voices which were silent there Would bid thee clear thy brow; e nave oeen saa together Oh I what shall part us now? Selected. THE ORDEAL OF LOVE. BY E. L. BULWER. Adolphe and Celeste were lovers the course of true love never did run smooth and it was interrupted in theirs by cruel parents, who had different views for their children. Adolphe, in despair, takes poison; but the invention of stomach pumps prevented his deadly purpose, and he recovers. CeiMeuaa me deadly potion in her hand, and was in the act of raisin it to her hps when her mother dis ceX Thestor ihus.proWhatever the exaggeration of our lovers, they loved really, fervently, disinterestedly, and with all their hearts XT . i 1,ululie " ten thousand sl-ong,or promises to be so Adolphe did not dic-the antidotes were given in time-he recovered. The illness of Celeste w s chill dna"S;irou iffercd,poor child, a dehrous fever, and it was several weeks before her i am reason were restored. No parents could stand all this -ordinary caprices it very weU to resist, but when young peoole take to poison and deLusfeSl ilfaut order. Besides,such events derange one's establishment, and interrupt one's comforts.

The pair were struck by a secret and simultaneous conviction; when an express arrived breathless to summon Adolphe to his father, who was taken suddenly ill. At the end of three months, Adolphe returned. Celeste's wart had entirely vaninished ; and Celeste found her husband's eyes as beautiful as ever. Taught by experience, they learned then, that warts rapidly grow upon chins, and squints readily settle upon eyes, that are too constantly seen.

TIIE MILITIA SYSTEM. From ihe Army and Navy Chronicle. Every one, who has witnessed tht! operation of our present militia system, must be sensible of its glaring defects, of its total inadequacy to subserve the purpose for which it was originally designed, and of the necessity for such a change as will place it upon a basis ol respectability and efficiency.

Tho revolving icver liavc applied in various forms and to various purposes. The model, now at the Mechanics' Insli tute, in Cincinnati, Ohio, for public inspection, is what 1 term a single press or stand, and will serve for pressing oil, cotton, tobacco, dry goods, flour, hud, cheese. &c. The impression on coin, and the seals of the several public ofiices, can be made with tho Greatest precision and uniformity. When this press is properly regulated, the impression will be the same every revolution. In common the wheel is not required to pciform a lull revolution, unless the piston is to be driven out its whole length, and then it may bo done to great advantage on clastic substances, or it moves very quick.
