the past. -
It comes o’er the heart like an echo bland,
Ora pentlo voice from " Fairy Land,”
On balmy breezes borne to the strand
Of memory’s sea.
It tells of the joys that our childhood knew,
Of hopes that were bright as ilie rainbow’s hue:
Of tears that were pure as the morning dew,
On the vernal tree.
It speaks of the hours of earliest love,
Of the sylvan glen und the summe^grove,
Through which out footsteps oft would rove.
In by-gone days:
Of flir longing glnnee of that azure eye.
Of the cheek thai w as dashed w ith tho rose’s dye,
Of the smile that was soft as orient sky
When the sun-be.tm plays.
And, oh, it is sweet, as the night comes on,
When the heart is dreary, snd, and lone,
To muse on the friends that arc past and gone,
To come, oh * never!
And to think that love in the memory bright
Aspirins that are clad in the hues of light,
And will not depart till tho "stilly night”
Be set for ever!
TO K FIRST BORN CHILD.
My child! how strange that name appears
To lips unused as mine!
How thrilling to my listening ears
'i hose infant cries of thine!
IIow many a thought mysterious burns
Within mv heart nrnl hrnin,
And still mv frequent glance returns
To g.ize on thee again.
Ann as I gaze on thee, the past,
Present, and future, twmi*
A tie, that hinds me«ti!| more fast,
At every look of thine.

is true ns preaching, nnd it enmn to pnss,
while I wns nt Rsekcllen ITnrhour, in Ihe
days of Commodoro Chnuneey. who wns
Ooptnin of tlint shore. You see mv lads
the Commodoro, wh 1 wns nl wavs nn the look
out, hnd some how or other, f for our hnnis
were flying here, thnrq, and everv where over
Ihn lake, which is more, hjr ihn wnv liko n
great sen, than it is liko a pond—on the watch
for wlmt they could pick up nrlrifk.") I sav, the
Commodore had dise vp-ed lion the enemv
hnd n fine lirig on tho storks, just rendv to he
Inunehed, nt n harbour on t’other side, Pres
que Island, I think they coll it, or some such
Frenchified name. A light little craft she
wn«, and fourteen guns they said sho was to
mount, for we had not ihen given them en
ough of it, and thev were trying us on every
nick, In soo if they could-not run ua under nl
Inst. Mr. Bull, who ia tho king of that conn
try, my.lads, kept a sharp look-out for her!
night and day. But, howsoever,“ and here
Jack lightened ihe strain of bis neither imegu.
ments,” wc sometimes managed looverreach
the old fellow, as you shall hear. Linnlenanl
Gregory, (as fine a sailor as ever slopped, Sir,
and a real gentleman, every inch of him,) did
not hy any means, like the idea of seeing this
Inig afloat; nnd so ho petitioned the Comtno-
doru for men enough to cut her out and burn
her, as she sloud, stock and fluko. Every bn.
dy, as I am told, thought it was a desperate
sort of undertaking ; for, besides the watch
kept hy old Bull’s people, near Ihe vessel, there
were two forts to ho passed before you cmild
run into this same harbour, of whirh I nm tel
ling. Bill Ihn lieutenant was ntino of your
half-way sort of fresh water landlubbers, and
so he finally got Ihe Commodore’s leave. I
remember very well, (hat one day ho enmo
down to us, nnd it wns well towards night, too,
nnd ‘ My hoys,’says ho, ‘nro there any stout
lads here, that would liko to go with mo on a
• littlo hit of service!’ I believe that every man
on the station would hnvo followed him any
where, nnd n hundred and fifty said nt once
that they were up lo any tiling llinl he was in
for. He only wanted thirty of us, howsoever,
and I nm proud lo say that I wns one that he
picked. Well, ns soon ns it wns a little dark
we pulled out of tho harbour in »ho sixteen-
oared barge, nud every man had his pistols in
his bolt and his cutlass ready- We were still
enough, you may rely, for the lieutenant hail
bid us keep quiet, nnd we rowed round the
outer fort, and nobody minded us. Our oars
were tntifH d, to he sure, the night was black
ns a wolfs mouth; hut wc picked our way
along hy the lights ashore, and the moon be
gan lo hrenk through the clouds a little
just ns we pulled under tho brig’s stern. Wo
heard the sodger a pacing the deck ; bat how
to gut quietly on lionrd of her was hard to tell.
Wo judged her hold to he full of light stufi',
and if we could but once get ftro to that, it
wasn’t likely slic’d float in a hurry. After
n while, one of our hands, nnd w ho should it
lie hut Tom Dixon, (n nimble lad wa9 Tom,
too,)said he thought he could throw a rnpn
over her davit, and so climd over her stern
without notice.
Up lie did get too, Tom—and while the
sontinel’s hack wns turned, ho crept along un
der the lee of her quarter boards, and managed
in this bo peop fashion, to get a match down
her hatches, and then hark into the boat again,
nnd nobody the wiser. “ There wrrlny quiet nn
lambs, you tuny suppose, till wo saw the
smoke, just a small hit of a rising, that you
would’l mind, without you were looking for
it. anti then wo pulled her softly enough to o
little distance. But when Ihe flame did burst
up in a long stream of fire, and showed its the
whole harbour ns bright as day, and tho slco-
pv fellow on her deck eamo to his wits, nt last,
—* Now for it lads,’ said Gregory, nnd wo
gave three cheers, and, I tell you, pulled our
prettiest.
Our friends nlong shorn were soon wide
awake, and tho guns nl one of tho forts open
ed upon us merrily- But not one of llieir shot
touched ns. nnd we wero doing mighty well,
when two or three ugly looking crafts put off
from the land. ‘ Give way, my hearts,’ says
the Lieutenant—nnd pull wo did. There wns
no fear of two of them, for wo distanced them
t-.nsv enough; but tho biggest one of the
whole three came down upon os in grand style
my boys, with ton sweeps of a side. She car
ried a swivel on her hows, and that sho kept
laving nt us right sharp; but never a shot
enmo near ns ; and wo should soon have dis
tanced here too, for our pull was a mighty
strong one, if they lindn’t let slip one shot that
made the splinters fly alongside, und took the
hlmles off six of our onra. clean hy tho hoard.
When wo found tlint nothing bettor wns to
he done, wo gave three cheers ngain, nnd Iny
still. A pleasant sight il wns, as you’ll see in
a summer’s day ; for besides tho moon over
head, Ihe blaze of tho brig on fire gleamed
aeross Ilia lake, nnd there we stood. Sir, ready
lo tnke it, rough and tumblo. ‘ Bo slundv,
bovs, : snys Mr. Gregory; and every man
said, A v. ay. Sir,’ in a sort of under tone, tliut,
low as it wns, was clear enough to echo over
the still water: and then, not n sound could
he heard, but the steady dash of the English
man’s long sweeps, and the distant noiso of
the people ashore by the brig. Wo were thir
ty men, as l told you before, besides the two
officers nnd the coxswnin, in the stern-shoots ;
and every man had his pistol in one hand nnd
his cutlass in Iho other. W’ell she came up
bravely. Sirs, her crew swearing like so mnny
devils ; lor I stinpnse, they did not much tike
the trick wo had played them; nnd tho first
throw of her grapple struck the middiipinim on
the head, poor lad,nnd killed him dead enough.
It’s woll it was not you Mr. Roeve.”
“ Very well, Jack,” I remarked.
“ A stout sen-boat she was, sir, nr d manned
twice as strong ns we were ; but that is no.
tiling here nor there, for wc, you see, wre
more than twice as ahlo. As aoon e.« aim
hauled in alongside, wo gavn them our pistol
hulls first powder and all, then we let them
have the pistols themselrea at their heads, and
took to our cutlasses a* soon as might be.—
Hor gttnwhnle touched our own, and imagine,
for tea nr fifteen minnles, we hnd pretty sharp
work ofit. After the first half a dozen blows,
mv own cullnss snapped short over a poor
follow’s head, and I reached over the gun-
whale and took his hanger out of b'ta hand, as
he lay. You may judge, Sir, we wore none
of its idle, for they soon cried onougli of it,
nnd, in half nn hour, more or less, we had her,
safo and hoiioiI, nt Sackelt ( s harbour. And
that, you see, is pretty much all I know about
Ihe long and short ofit.”
*• Was tho brig entirely eo.nsumcd. Jack ?”
I inquired.
“ Down lo tho ways, so they snid, not n
timber head left of her worth saving.”
“ But Liston,” said I, (ltd you get no reward
fur such n vnluuldo piece of service I"
“ Why, Sir, the Commodore wrote lo the
Secretary, ns I’m informed, and ho thanked
us all round ; but as we seldom sa>v the news
papers, I cannot say very certainly.”
Gen. Chasse,—“David Henry Barron do

Antwerp, is a Lieutenant General, Command
er of the military order of William, and an Of
ficer of the Legion of Honor- llo wns horn
nt Tiel, in Gurldcrluml, on the lSlh of March,
1767, his father liemg a Major in tho regi
ment of Munster. lie entered the service of
the U. Stales of Holland, in 1775, ns n Cutlet,
wns made Lieutenant in 1781, Captain in 17-
87, Lieutenant-Colonel tit 17G3, Colonel
1803, Major-General in 1900, nnd Ltnuten-
nnt-Geuoral in 1914. After the revolution of
Holland in 1797 during which he nltnclmd
himself to the pari of the patriots, lie quilled
his country and ueut into the service of the
Ptench nrinv, and hy his conduct, lie obtained,
in 1793, tho rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He
distinguished hnnself in the battles of Mon-
queron. of Honglede, nnd Static ; again en
tered his native country in 1705, with Piche-
gruo’s army , and again soon quilled il to take
part in the( campaign of 1790. under tho
command of Iho Dutch General Dnetidnls.
In 179G, the English having made a descent
upnn tho coast of Holland, Col. Chasse dis
played great military talent nl the bend of a
Dutch Curps, who fought several hours n-
guiusl a large body of English Ironps. This
campaign having terminated, he quitted the
country of Germany. He was nt tho siege of
YVurtzliurg, look u battery from tho Austrians,
and 400 prisoners. This happened on tho
27th of December, 1800. In Ihe years 1905
and 1800, he servad with distinction in tho
war against Prussia, under (he command of
the Dutch General Dnmnrrcnu. Bui, nbove
nil, it was in tho Spanish war that General
Clrftsso wns most distinguished, lie exhibi
ted proofs of iho greatest flitrepidity, which
among ihe soldiers, prnrttred him Ihe liornur-
ablo title of “Buynnet General,” in eonsn-
quenco of the frequent nnd sucecsuful use
which lie made of that instrument of warfare.
To rocompensa the services which he hnd
thus rendered, Louis Bonnpnrto created him
Barun with a pension of 3000 florins, and
named him Commander of lho Royal Order of
Ihe Union. During the six years of that mur
der ms war. General Chasse nlwavs remained
in Spain, mid was present nt the battles of
Durango, Tntavern. do Miss d’I run. and A I-
monnnld ; lie roiilrilioted greatly Ie the suc

troops covered themselves with glory, and nt
Col de Mujn, in llm Pyrenees, where lie saved
hy rare valor, tho turps of the army of the
Connie d’Krlon, nt the bend of the 8lh, 28'h,
and the 54t)> regiments of Ihe line, und the
1 fit II light infantry. The decoration nflhe
Legion of honor was the reward of this bril
liant feat, nud the Duke of Ualuiatia (Mar
shal Soull) tlern •tided for him tlm rank of
Licutotinn'.-Gnnnral, whirh lie obtained on
quilting tho Kronrh service. Napoleon knew
how to nppreetaio ihn bravery which Gen.
Chasse displayed in the course of the war,
nnd ho made him n Bnrrnn of Iho empire, hy

In the month ttf Jan nry 1811, ho received

Fromthe London Court Journal-
Lady Hester Stanhope.—Wo have lately
seen letters from the neighborhood of this ec
centric lady’s residence, which give a very cu
rious account iff her habits. Tho moat inter
esting particulars, however, which nro known
hero respecting Iter Imvo been furnished by
M. Miranda, tho late Charge d’Affnires of tho
Republic of Columbia, who wns for several
month* nn inmate of Lady Hnslor'a bouse.-—
This gcntlcmnn rlesctihea her a* a very ec
centric, but by noniennsan insane woman;
and speaks of Iter generosity in terms of high
ndmirnlion. Site lias n repugnance to Euro-

affording Iho rights of hospitality lo Europeans
who visit her, it being understood that from
tho moment of their arrival tlioy aro to consid
er themselves as nt an inn, where all the ser
vants are at their command, without the neces
sity of their communicating with the host.—
Persona who havn been once invited to her
htinso may remain for months, or even yenrs,
enjoying nil the com forts nnd luxuries of her
esiubhahmoiit, provided they do not intrude
upon her privacy, or rudely interfere with Iter
eccentricities.
Whon a well informed traveller bocomes a
guest, he t* frequently invited to take his meals
with hi* hostess, nnd lo convorse with hor on
general topics ; on theso occasion* she dia-
plays groat vigor ol intellect, and freely con-
fosses that she is eccentric. All her survants
are Oriental, nnd tho entire establiahment is
Eastern, with un intermixture of European
comfort. She i* adored by tho peasantry of
tho onvirons, nml lm» great influence with nil
tliochiofs: so much ao, indeed, that if any
slavo has hud the misfortune to incur the dis
pleasure of ins master, ho is suro of forgive
ness if lie can obtain Ilia interference of Lady
Heater Stanhope, and this she is always ready
to exercise in the cause of humanity. This
eccentric lady hu* fur tho last ten years spent
much of bur lime in preparing the reminiscence
of Iter l»le. They will throw much light upon
tho politics of the East if tlioy should bo pub
lished, as wo expect tlioy will.
Negro Philosophy—John Canopole was a
small pocket edition of humanity, lie had a

I ho faithful negro loved his master, and upon
the arrival of tint physician looked up in hi*
