LOVE.

Æque sagittiferâ promsit duo tela pharetra

Diversorum operum: fugat hoc, facit illud amorem.
Quod facit, auratum est, et cuspide fulget acura:
Quod fugat, obtusum est, et habet sud arundine plumbum.

Sly Cupid of old

Had two arrows 'tis said;

One pointed with gold,
The other with lead:

The bright arrow's wound
Kindled love in the heart,
But the other's was found
Hute alone to impart.

'Tis said by some swains

Who have tried the boy's skill,

That his quiver contains
The same arrows still;
That the ungilded dart
Only makes woman cold;
But love thrills her heart
From an arrow of gold.-W.

Extract of a letter dated "Macon, 3d October, 1832. "HOMICIDE.-Mr. Thomas M. Ellis, proprietor of the Bank of Macon, was shot in the street yesterday morning, and died in about five hours after. The quarrel ensued, we understand, in consequence of Mr. Ellis's obstinacy in refusing to show the books and acts of the bank."

We understand that Mr. Ellis was shot by a person of the name of Byrom; that a quarrel had taken place between the parties, and that both had pistols, and fired about the same time, Ellis without effect. -[Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle.]

Obituary -Died, at Washington, Mississippi, Major JOHN HOLBROOK, Principal of the CollegiateInstitution at that place, 2004

aged 32 years. Possessing at an early age an uncommon taste for reading, with more than ordinary talents, he left the plough, and, from his industry and perseverance in the pursuit of know. ledge, and without any other means of acquiring it, he was soon noticed by Capt. Partridge. Principal of the Literary and Scientific Institution at Norwich, Vt. who invited him to pursue his studies, and at the same time act as Instructor under him. He continued with Capt. Partridge until he closed his establishment at Middletown, Conn. where he acquired a high reputa. tion as a scholar. In 1828, he located himself in Georgetown D. C.; and in 1829, removed to Washington, Miss. by particular request of the citizens of that place, and opened a Literary and Scientific Institution, upon the plan of that at Middletown, Ct. under Capt. Partridge. We understand that he had been highly successful in his enterprize in Mississippi. His worth and amiable disposition will be long remembered, and his loss deeply regretted, by an extensive circle of friends-but by none more sincerely than ourself, who knew him intimately from child. hood, and through all his struggles for respectability and emi. nence. He has left a wife and one child, to lament his premature death. They were formerly from Hartland, Vermont.
