THE SEASONS OF LOVE,
itY QIOHOB P. MORRIS.
The apring-tirae of love
li boih hippy and gay.
For joy aprinklea blossom.
And balm in our way ;
The iky, earth, and ocean,
In beeuly repose.
And all the bright future
la couleur tie rose.
The summer of love
U the bloom of the henrt.
When hill, grore and talley
Their music impart.
And the pure glow of henren
Is seen in fond eye*.
As Jnlcea *how the rainbow
Thm'a hung in the skits.
The autumn of lore
Is the season of cheer,—
Life's mild Indian-summer,
The smile ol the year ;
Which comes when the golden
Llipe barvrst is stored.
And yields its own blessings—
Repose and reward.
The winter cf lo»»
Is the beam thct we win.
While the storm scowls without
From the sunshine within.
Love's reign is eternal.
The heart is his throne.
And he has all sessons
Of life for his own.

■* Ah! you hare giren me one drop of comfort;
but, nfter all. I cannot help thinking that Char-lotte
is throwing herself away."
••And why throwing herself away! She
rjnrs not diminish her beautiful gifts. Tbey
will be unfailing sources of refined happiness,
both to herself and friends; and I mistake her
much, if she will sigh for an opportunity 'o cast
her jewels to the crowd, to bs gathered or tramp-led
upon according to the moment's whim."
"O! no, no, indeed ! hut then—but then."
" But then, my dear Susie, your views, nnd the
vi'w* of your fashionable friends, are exceeding*
ly contracted upon the subject of labor, nnd forgive
me, if I add, not a little irreligious. This partic-ular
ense, however, appeals so strongly to your
prejudices, that I cannot hope to benefit you much
by reasoning, or illustration. We will talk about
it again, in Chnrloite'a parlor."
» I hope it will be a pretty one ; I detest a

more merrilv than she came.

fears. "They have been educated so different-ly,"

A Desert Ride
TIIK morning was fiercely hot, although in
midiwinter. The camels stood ready before the
door of the English Hole', st Grand Cairo. The
baggage-camels, four in number, were lad*n with
ennteone, provisions, tents, walercasks, weapans,
and whatever was necessary for a twelve daya*
journey upon the desert. A more delicately-limb-ed
dromedary (if such a term could bo applied lo
this awkward beaat,) gaily caparisoned, with a
silver tinkling bell upon his neck, and a double-barrel
fowling-piece suspended from a horn o( the
saddle, awaited my mounting. This process of
mounting a camel, for'he first time, unites bolh
the perilous and ludicrous. Th*i groaning and
complaining animal—hia eyes expressing rage
nnd fear, and bis teeth convulsively grinding like
an impotent Ssthnnas—ii made lo he down. You
seat youraell high on tho towering hump, upon a
rude wooden frame-work saddle, over which a
sheepskin is thrown. You brace your .'eel, as
well as possible, in the curve of the camel's neck,
seize firmly upon the projections of the saddle, be-fore
and behind, and give the word to rise. Up
goes the hinder part of the animal with a sudden
energy, pitching you forwsrd upon his head ; be-fore
you have recovered your equilibrium, up
rises the fore part, with the sameunelastic veloci-ty,
jerking you violently backward toward the
tail; and while, amid these contradictory impulses,
you are struggling to prevent a breakneck fa"
my breakfast yet. Mother is sick, and I have
now just got some chips to mnke a fire with, and
shall go home to make her some soup."
••Soup ! Then you are a cook, too, eh ?"
"Yes, sir? I got some cold meat last night,
and il will make her a good soup."
" Come, my boy, sit down first and eat a
good dinner with us, you will feel better."
The boy laid his slouched hat in a corner, and
after seme coaxing, seated himself, and ate hearti-ly.
He said but little and rose to go.
MI am very thankful, sir," said he, and a tear
stood in the iitile follow's eye, " I wish 1 could
pay you," he stammered ; " but 1 am rery poor,
and haven't got any thing." He brushed the
drop (rom his cheek, and turned to take his bat;
but a smile played on his lips as he glanced atthe
chips, and added. " O, I forgo'.; I have got two
baskets of good clean chips here, and if you will
take one of them I can gel another. You have
been kind to me, and they will be so handy ma'-
am,' said he, turning le the lady, ** for you to kin-dle
your fire with. Shall I leave them!"
"No, my good boy keep them, and lake this too,"
said the gentleman, RS he handed him some
change. " When yoa are in need come lo me
again."
The poor little fellow seemed alarmed almost
at Ibis, but with many lhanks, he departed for the
dwelling of his sick mother.

To Young Ladies.
I have found that the men who are realty ihe
most fond of the society of ihe ladies, who cheriah
for them a high respect, are aeldoin the moM po-pular
with the sex. Men of great assurance,
whose tongues are highly hung, who make words
supply the place of ideas, and place compliment
in the room of sentiment, are the favorites. A
due respect for women leads to respectful action,,
and this great distance is mistaken by tbem for
neglect or want of interest.—JltUliion.
REMARKS OF MR. LEACH,
or DAVIDSON,
In the House of Commons, in reply to Messrs. Baningrr,
.1 mi" and others, upon the bill lor the more speedy ad-mi
nut ration of justice.
MR. SI'IAKIU.—When this Bill came up, on
its second reading, I contented myself with gir-ing
a few reasons, why, I thought, it ought not to
pass. Since then my remarks have been fre-quently
alluded to,but not, 1 think—fairly met and
answered. Gentlemen in favor of the passage
of this Hill,—called a Hill (or the more speedy ad-ministration
of Justice; b-jl which 1 hope to prove
is a misnomer,—rise consecutively, in quick sue
cesssion, and with varied and various specimens
of Oratory, " from grave to gay,—from lively to
severe,"—use, as they tell us, and it is necessary
to be told,—arguments, which they say, address
themselves lo the reason and judgment; and,
therefore, to the favorablo consideration and sanc-tion
of this House.
Sir, with having heard but little aaid against
this bill, and a great deal in its favor, by gentle-men

But, Mr. Speaker, to proceed more directly to
the subject. In the first place, a good deal of lime
is token to dt Lionstrate the expense of the County
Count, if at present constituted ; and much ttreia
is placed on this argument. And gentlemen go
inioan estimate—a mere hypothetical calculation,
(to my mind,} to prove that, by abolishing trials by
jury in ibe County Courts, aud lo adopt, instead,
ihe provisions of the present bill, there would b»
an annual saving of no inconsiderable amount to
the severul Countus of ihe Stale : And, became
the passage of this bill 'vould render justice cheap-er—
such being the only rational inference that can
be drawn from the premises,—that, therefore, it
ought to pass. Sir, the mere statement of such a
position carries with ii us own refutation. Am I
tobe told that, in the administration of Jualice, that
plan which is ihe cheapest is therefore the beat T
la there any moral principle involved in euch an
argument as this ' Or. if it must be called argu-ment,
is it not making ;he mere item of expeiiee—
which I have never heard complained of aa oner-ous—
as of paramount consideration to tbat of dis-pensing
equal and even handed justice, in our Ju-dicial
system '
It vrould save expense to pass a law to the ef-fect
that all Judgea hereafter elected to the Supe-rior
Court beech, should receive an annual salary
of Five Hundred Dollars. But would the enact-ment
of such a law be wise or politic? Or is it
probable thai gentlemen hereafter raised to the.
1 .ench would be able jurists or aa upright men aa
tho-e who now adorn il f
But, sir, I maintain that '.he abolition of all ju*
risdiction over IMeas in ihe County Courts, would
not, aa a general rule, save expense, either tu thai
Counties, or to the parties litigant—because I be-lieve
in a largo majority of the Counties, and I.
know it io be so in those with which I am ac-quainted—
lhe entire week is generally consum*
ed in the trials of causes, in bolb lhe County and
Superior Courts ; and that as many caeee—and
often more—are disposed of in the County aa in
the Superior Courts, during lhe week—and thai,
as this bill provides for transferring all the eases
(rom the County lo the Bnperiof Court docket, I
ask gentlemen how is it possible that the Superi-or
Court docket can ever b» cleared of casea by
holding but three Courts annually f
Il could not be done. Thero would be great
delay, causes would have io he over for years,
notwithstanding lhe modest pretence of the bill
to prevent delay, aa its name imports, and as gen-tlemen
argue. And, sir. this delay of justice
would be, without solecism, injustice ; and would
tend to increase greatly the cosi of the party finally
cast in the sun. Or, if extra terma were had, ihu
argument fails—for '.hen the expenses would be
proportionally increased; besides the money be-ing

as it does under the present law ; and returning,

it is taken.
