AVccp not for whal is pasi,
Wilh vain and fruilless tears.
But husband well thy slrenglh
To servo thy coming years. In noble deeds, nol idle grief, Let thy sad sjiirit find relief.
'Weep i»st for what is past,
Though every passing day
Some pathway should disclose
Where thou hast gone astray,— Tears will but dim thy feclilo sight, They set no vranderiiig footsteps right.
¦Weep not for what is past,
Though in that dark domain.
Thc forms thou loved'st are bound
By ailaman'.ine chain. Tho lost to eorlh—to life arc born, Ilejoico to hail their natal morn.
¦What dolh (ho grave enfold,
Thot there tliy thoughts should turn I
Colder tho clay hencath
Than monunicnial urn. Bo strong—Ihy soul should never he Thus fettered to mortality.
The past—thot narrow span—
¦What should it be lo theo 1
Tho longest earthly lifo
Is hul man's infancy. The spiiit should all chains despise, Tho future hath no boundaries.
Then weep not for the past.
Not tears of blood can bring
Onc wasted moment hack,
Or stay lime's onward wing. Pour not thy soul's liest life away— Begin anew lo live to hav !
From the Baltimore Pnlriot.
1 Could not say Farewell.
O, who can say. Farewell!
When die heart is on tho tanguo T "I'is sadder llian tho funeral Imtll,
O'cr joys departed rung.
I lefl thcc—in thy hloom.
With what anguish who can lell, I toro my heart away from thine.
But could not say—farewell!
I marked die smile upon thy lip,
1 foil ils magic spell— I knew it only mask'd Ihy grief.
And could not say—farewell!
I saw thc tear-drop in diinc eye. And kissed it cro it fill—
I pressed thy velvet hand in mine, Uut coulii not say—f.iiikwki.i.!

They were novv masters of the cnmp, which was a pretty liltic recess in the moun¬ lains, with a fino spring; and apparenlly safe from all invasion. Groat preparations had been made for feasting a largo party, for it wss a vory proper place for a rendezvous, and for the celebration of such orgies as robbers of the desert would delight in. Severnl of thc best horses had been killed, skinned, and cut up—fur the Indians living in mounlains, and oniy coming into plains lo rob and murder, mnke no olher use of horses than to eat lliom. Large earthen vessels wero on the fire, boiling and stewing the horse beef; and several bas¬ kets containing uO or GO pairs of moccasins, indi¬ cated the presence or cxpectaliuii of a large party. They released ihc boy, who had given strong evi¬ dence of the stoicism, or something else of the sav- oge chaincter, by commencing his breakfast upon a horse's head, as soon as ho found hc was not to be killed, but only tied as a piifoner.
Their object accomplished, our men gathered up allthe surviving horses. 15 in number, returned upon their trail, and lejoined us at our camp in ilie nfternoon of the same day.

"Whal's the mailer there? the, devil seems to havo gol among you."
A plain counlry looking man immediately start¬ ed to his feet, and addressing Mr. Hill in reply, said—
"No sir, itarn'ttho devil as is doing it; it's a fat lady wol's fainted ; and she's o worry fai 'un, sir, as don'l seem likely to come loo ngain in a hurry."
