FOR THE WESTERN SUN. SYMPTOMS OF LOVE. What h that thrills the human heart Makes the must torpid fancy smart And the most innate feeling start? , 'Tis love. What filh imnin-uions measure Leavel not the brain one moment's leasure. And tills the heart with fancied pleasure? 'Tis love. Whit fill's the soul with fancied bliss What makes two lips re-fnndrnt kiss? Oh whatb't prompt's sweet joys like this? 'Tis love. What drowns the mind with grief and care? What prompt's the trembling heart to fear? What tills tne soul with rash despair? 'Tis love. Since you so many cares beguile, And make so many thousand smile, Let me taste of thy pleasing wile. Oh love. "FRANCISCO." H : : :oo : : : MISCELLJXW Marriages A neat, dap per little gentleman, with smiling looks and powdered hair, whisked into the nrtie and handed me

"Beau Sir I take up my pen to inform you of one of the most disgraceful transactions that ever covered with infamy, the republican ranks.

Yet, strange as it is, it is not less true To give you a full history of this transaction, would far exceed the limits

who would pay best. Overtures were said to have been made by the friends of Adams, to the friends of Clay, offering him the appointment of secretary of State, for his aid to elect Adams. And the friends of Clay gave this information to the fiiends of Jackson, and hinted, that if the friends of Jackson would offer the same price, they would close with them. But none of the friends ot Jackson would descend to such mean barter and sale. It was not be lieved bv any of the fiiends of Jackson, that this contract would be ratified by the members from the states who had voted for Mr. Clay.

The nation having delivered Jackson into the hands of Congress, backed by a large majority of their votes, there was on my mind no doubt that Congress would respond to the will of the nation, by electing the individual they had declared to he their choice.

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER. There is a report of a frighiful crime committed not far from Paris, by the member of an order respected in Fiance. This functionary, appointed guardian to a young woman, mismanaged his trust, and with the intention of concealing his conduct, wished the girl to marry his son She always refused from entertaining an attachmet to a young man living in Pans. The guardian saw this with increasing displeasure. As the time approached when he was to give an account of his guardianship, he came to Paris with his son. and lett his daughter of the same ae;e with his ward in the country. He returned sud denly, and arrived late at home. Not a single servant saw his mas

ter had returned. The ward was going to bed. when she heard a

noise under her windows in the garden; she listened, and heard heavy blows; she was seized with fear, and went to her companion and told her she would sleep ith her Her companion laughed at her for her cowardice, and offered to change beds with her. The offer was accepted. The grave for the victim being prepared, (for it was that which the young woman heard.) the as sassins entered the chamber where thev expected to find their pray. They were armed with a mask of soft pitch; they applied this to the face of the sleeping person, and when she had ceased to live, they carried her to the garden where the earth soon received her. The agitation of father and on was excessive when they saw her enter to breakfast whom they believed in her grave. She caught the alarm, sought for her companion, found her not, left the house, and the magistrates being infoimcd of the matter, the guilty pair were arrested. The inquiry into this business is now carrying on with activity.
