A Love Story.
BT ROBERT JOMftLYN.
[W« publish from an autographic copy in
onr possession the following little poem,
which, we beit«ve.{has not before been in print.
It is net the least exquisite of many exqui die
compositions by the same pen. It reminds
one somewhat of Tepaeyeon’s ‘Edward Gray;’
but while it ha« much pathos of sentiment, it
Is without the latters exaggerated quaintness of
style:—N 0. Delta ]
She had loved him too well, but »o guarded
and cold
Was the tone of her voice and the glance of
her eve.
That his heart’* burning mystery never was
told.
And, despairing, he left htr to languish and
die.
How lovely she looked in her earlv decay,
How softly ard silently fleeted her brra(h ;
Like the hues of the twilight she faded away,
As bright and as beautiful even in death.
In the land of the stranger, afar from her
grave.
The wanderer lived In his coldness end
pride,
Unloved and unloving, to memory a slave—
Ah! better for him, If like her, he had died.
For hope, on the future, no more cast her light,
The joy of existence forever was fled,
Wlaile the chain, which first bound him, en
during and bright.
Still fettered and fastened the living and
dead.
O, Nature, thy vioce has boen stifled too long.
O, Love, let the flush of shame mantle thy
cheek :
When affection is fervent and virtue is strong,
Why should rot the eye and the tongue
dare not speak ?
--
- — Marriage, without love, is tha suicide
of happiness. As well might a person under
take to build a dwelling without either cash,
credit or material, as to expect to live happily
m the marriage s'.ato without love.
Cautious.— Old Dr. Foster, who practised
as a physlcsan at Buxford, some years ago,
was in the hahit of cooking up all sorts of
roots and h«rbs into medicines and specifics
and trying them upon his wife. If they din
not kill her, he was ready for all his o'her
patients.

IN pursuance of an order of the Probate
Court of Prairie county. Ark., at the Oc
tober terra thereof, I will sell at the court
house door in the town of Brownsville, on I he
lira# Hnnday in January I860,
the following lands, to-wit: The S E quarter,
the N E quarter, and the W half of the S W
quarter or section nine; also, the estate in
terest in lots Nos. I, 2, 7, 11, and 14. of the
sixteenth section—all in township one1 north,
range eight west; said lands are situated six
miles south of .Bronwsville,and 2J miles south
of the railroad which is now in the courso of
construction. The principal portion of the
lands are first class timbered land, the balance
high, rolling prairie. 1 here is no tract of land
ill the Prairie country that combines moie ad
vantages for a stock farm, as it is convenient
to the finest winter and summer range. There
is about sixty acres of cleared land on the
premises, and a good double log house, and
other necessary out-buildings. Persons de
siring any information in relation to said land
I would refer them to Judge Reynolds, at Ham
ilton, Ark., or to I. C. Hicks cif Brownsville.
Terms of sale, one-third cash in hand, the

li ning half shovel for ridging aud hilling and
lace a cutter before it and you have an excel
>nt new-ground plow'; in the third piece, put I
n both moulds aud you have a large shovel. J
erfectly suited to.breaking out the middles
f cotton rows: ami fourth, by reversing the
loukis of the large shovel, you have a good
otton sweep, ail four working better than you B
an get any common smith to make of wrought '•
■on. In addition you have, by adjusting the
o)t»t, (which is made of the best of wrought P
low steel.) five extra points and eleven extra
rarpenings, over other plows, which is said, F
v some of the most prominent planters in .a
'orth Mississippi, to be sufficient for five
