Forget Mo Not.BY WILLIAM HENRY 11ABBISO.N;Isate President of tin* United States. V. riltenin his earlier (by .

A:\d tells the brnkea-h '.irtoilThere are fairer world limn this;

Tho moon that courses throng!! thcuUy,Like man’s uncertain doom,

Now .shining hrig!it,\vit!i borrowed light,Now wrapt in deepest, gloom—

Or when eclipsed, a dreary blank,A fearful emblem given

Of a heart shut uni by a sinful worldFrom the blessed Jigbtof Heaven;

The flower that fn <-Iy casts its wealth< )fperfume on tlie gale;

TJio breeze that mourns the summer’s closo\V illimelaindioly wail;

Tlie stream that cleaves the mountain sideOr cur ries from tho grot—

All speak in their Creator’s name,And say, “Forg l me not!

“Forgot me not,’ the thunder roars,As it bursts its sulpli’ry cloud;

’Tis murmured by tho distant hills,In echoes long and loud;

’Tis written by the Almighty handIn characters of Hume,

When the lightnings gleam with vivid flash,And His holy wrath proclaim;

’Tis murmured when the white wave fallsUpon the wreck-strewn shore,

As a hoary warrior bows his crestWhen his day ofwork is o’er.

WOMAN'S LOVE.BY JOHN PERCIVALf

Say not that woman’s smile deceives;’Tin true as virgin gold,

When once the heart that’s woo’d believesThe vows that have been told.

My love lias smiles divinely bright,And words that move me more;

True as the stars are to tlie night,The girl that 1 adore.

Soy not that woman’s tears are light,For deep as the blue sea,

Are those pure feelings which exciloHer tears of sympathy.

I’lie tears ofher I love arc true,As silently they pour

From her blight eyes ofazure hue,The girl i:; it 1 adore.

Pay not licit woman’s vows are vain;\V on once liicy have been giv’n,

Deep arc her sufferings and her painIfe’er those vows arc riv’n.

The vows ofher 1 love are pure,As fervent i implore;

For her all pangs I would endure,Tho girl that 1 adore.

The crew looked rather blank at thispithy harangue, but dared not remonstrate iThey were caught in their owm toils, and jresolved to light it out like men.

Night came on, but they stillkept sight !of the Englishman. It was about halfpast eight in the evening when they ran-ged up within hail, on the weather quar- !ter of their more bulky antagonist, whohad every man at quarters, evidently pre-pared for a brush, and with his hi'/h bul-warks. and numerous deck latiih.inis.pseined rather a formidable appearance.—The captain of the brig seized Irs .speak-ing trumpet, and in a preemptnn iut;: ,bailing the stranger. ’ ,

“Ship ahoy!”‘Halo!’‘Ileave loo—and I’llsend my boat on

hoard.’’“U hat ship is that pray?”“Tlie United States brig Argus.’’“Aye, aye, sir?”John Bull thought it would be madness

to contend with the U. S. Brig Argus,which was well known to be a cracksloop of war of twenty guns and accor-dingly backed his main top-sail withouturther parley. The Yankees were thun-

derstruck a t their captain’s impudence.But the quarter boats was lowered, andollicercd and manned immediately, mtrue man-of-war style.

The American olllccr ascended thegangway of the English ship, with a“wab” on ids shoulder. “What ship isthis?” -.aid he, in an authoriative tone nssoon as he reached the deck.

“The English ship Cacrnavon Castle,sir, from Barbadoes, bound to Bristol.’ ireturned the Englishman, submissive! v.

‘•Then sir, you will please to step intothe boat wit!) your papers,and return withme on hoard the Argus. Mr. Simpson,”said he to the captain’s clerk, who filledtlie post ol a middy on this occasion, “Ileave yon with the men in charge of the.ship/ You will proceed to put the pris-oners in irons ready to bo transferred tothe Argus.”

W hen the British captain arrived along-side tlie Argns, he was astonished at h¦ ¦ ¦diminutive size—when he got on hlie saw at once dial he had been dbut it was then too late to rentedvevil.

The Benevolent WidowThe following extract from “The At-

! lorney,” now in course of publication in’ the Knickerbocker, shows up the betnro-’ hnen. of a certain class of people in a most

* admirable style:1 It was one of those bitter nights that al-

most cut one to the heart. Oh! how eold--1 ly the sharp wind went hissing through

1 the streets, mocking the shivering limbs,and breaking the hearts of the wretchedand homeless! There seemed no she!' rIrom its liny. Up and down the sirethrough alleys and along broad aveine ¦

it swept with tho same intense vigor. En-tile night before, the streets had been

1 drenched with rain, puddles were stand-- ing in every hollow, the whole city wasi teeming with moisture, when this fierce

wind came sweeping along.—Every things disappeared before it; pool after pool o(

water went as if by magic, no one knewr : when. The pavements were dry, pareh-- ed as in the heart of summer. The streets,

which at that hour of the night were gen-i crallvpeopled ¦¦ idia living multitude,w ere

i empty. A desolation like that of a pesti-t Icnce had come over them; and the cold¦ winter wind went rushing madly on its

(' course, moaning and sighing and howl--1 ing through old buildings and dark en-

i tries, and over chimney tops, its own wild, voice diowning the groans which it wrung

from thousands.What a night it was for those who

owned no home but the world, no shelterhut the sky!—lnto what wretched hole-

I they shrank!—in stables, in kennel , in' sheds with beasts. Shivering hoys g

ered at the doors of blacksmiths’ sim, .

’ of rich dwellings and peeped in, hoping to

cheer their icy hearts by the comfort theyt saw within. Oh! could wc but dislin-¦ gnish the sighs and groans which minglei in the wild melody of the north wind, as

I il comes careering along, how mournful-I ly sad would be, the sound!

The forbidding appearance of the wca-i thcr was not without its influence uponi a small elderly lady who dwelt in a snugf house near the Bowery, and who was stt-

in their own ethereal essence; tell me not

of pouting lips, of glossy ringlets, of ta-

manly graces so dear to every man, ami

doubly to him who lives apart from alltheir influences and their fascinations;neither dwell upon congenial tempera-ment, similarity of taste, of disposition,and of thought, those are not the greatrisks a man runs in life. Of all thetemptations,strong as these may he, thereis one greater than them all, and that is

propinquity.Show me the man who has ever stood

name of such, who has become daily andhourly exposed to the breaching artilleryof flashing eyes, of soft voices, of win-ning smiles, and kind speeches, and whohas’nt fell, and that too soon too, a

breach within the rampart of his heart; hemay. it is true, nay, he will in many ea-

A IIU.S’E DE GLEBE.Strategic was well as force is among all

nations considered justifiable in war, butwhether the conduct which is embracedin the anecdote which we are about to re-late should be strictly in accordance withthe moral principles which ought to regu-late the actions of men wc leave casuiststo decide.

During the early part of the last warwith great Britain, a small hng, mount-ing about ten sixes, with a crew of fortyor fifty men sailed from New England asa Letter of Marque, with permission tocruize as a privateer for a eerla it lengthof time, and capture prizes from the ene-my. While cruizing in the latitude ofthe homeward hound West Indiamcn, thebrig one morning fell in with a large shipto which she gave chase, but the captain,an “old sea dog,’’ on reconnoitcring herthrough his spy glass, was satisfied thatshe mounted too many guns to contendwith, with any prospect of success; andhauled off much to the dissatisfaction oftlie crew’, who attributed his conduct towant ofspirit and courage. In fact, theywere not backward in exhibiting theirfeelings, and the word coward was m<*)c

than once bandied about the ship in thehearing of tlie captain.

A few days afterwards the brig fell inwith another vessel. Every s’itch of can-vass was spread, and just at night, thechase was made out to he a large WestIndiaimn’ apparently well armed andmanned,and looked like an ‘ugly (usto-

mer.” “Now,” said the Yankee captainto his crew, “Iwish you to listen, men,towhat lam going to say. 1 heard some ofyou muttering something, not long sinceabout cowards—and to oblige you, I willgive you an opportunity of testing thecourage of every man on board.

“There,” said the lady, a little red inthe face from bending over the sugar bar-rel, and locking tho door of the closet,“take that, and I hope you’ll rememberwhat I have said.”

“Iwill,”said the man, raoviugjowaidsthe door:

“Stop, Aaron. What did you give thelame hoy, with a sick mother and threesmall sisters, when he railed to-day?”

“Two cold talers ami an ir.ion,” saidAaron solemnly.

“That’s right. A1 ways assist the poor;’and Airs. Dow looked blandly at thesolemn domestic. “When ho comes, yonmust enquire how his poor mother is.—You nccd’nt give him anything to-day.—It might encourage gluttony; and glutto-ny, you know, is one of the greatcardinal sins spoken against in Scripture.’

“Yes,” said tlie man servant, shiftinghis weight from one leg to the other.

“How it delights one to have done acharitable act?” said Airs. Dow. Don’tyou fee! il, Aaron?”

-It is a queer feeling about here?” ask-ed the inau-si rvant, pn sing his firgerswith an air of profound investigation Invarious pai ls of his abdomen. “A son ofemptiness?”

“How the grateful tears will fill theireyes”—

“Won’t they!” ejaculated Aaron; “es-pecially if they venture to eat that ere ili-um. It was a raw von.”
