NOVEMBER.
Already Winter’s wind is here,
And frost has marred the summer's green.
And ail the beauty of the year,
fn those dismembered leaves, is seen
Faded and tossed by many a gale,
Unheeded, rustliug down the vale.
The grey mist hangs about the mountain;
The black cloud sends along the sky,
And, at the minstrel’s favorite fountain, .
Ihe zephyr drops a farew&il sigh :
Sweet fount, repine not now’ in vain,—
Spring shall resiore thy charms again f
Wailing, as though the storm ship’s shroud:,
Old Boreas makes the oaks complain,—
They stretch their bare arms to the clouds,
And seeia to pray, but pray in vain—
—-Restore the clothing iti have lost,
To shield us from relentless frost!
But Spring shall conae—Spring shall restore
An hundred fold, thy faded green ;
And zephyr’s baimy breath shall more
Thau doubly renovate the scene ;
And Nature, though repining now,
Shall wear a heaven upon her brow ?
But O ! —there is a winter here
That spring can never break, —more chill
‘than Greenland's frozen atmosphere ;
It withers, bui it cannot kill,
While o'er the shrinking, struggling soul,
It holds a sullen, dark control !
None but the spring of Heaven can bless
This wintry uasta wuh verdure.— When /
When shall the sun of ftiguteouness
Arise, and cause to flow .gum
| That current of the soul, —iht stream
ibat purled responses to my theme ?
. Tis frozen,' —and will never glide
Warm through my heart as heretofore,
Till every vestage oi tue pride
Thai makes rue scorn 10 die, is tore
Like gat lands Iroin ray bending head,
Ar.d 1 am numbered w ith the dead
On—on, triumphant Time, and roil
Thy charriot o’er my head I 2 —’tis bowed
In calm expectance ol the dole
That thou must deal to all. Ihe shroud
Must shield me from the angry storm
That beats upon’ ray living form
’To thee, my muse, w hpt shall 1 say ?
Robed in tne bloom of hopes long dead,
Once thou didst love uie,—but lor aye,
Those too deligb'fu! joys are lied !
1 cannot now endure thy spell—
Tis tot lure to my soul—Farew ell!
ttUDSON.
THE MEND.
Oh ! magic of the Mind, whose might,
Can njhkr the desert heavenly !r,
An;i fill with forms divinely bright
lhe dieary valiancy of air,
And speed the soul from clime to dime,
Though stormy oceans roar in vaiu,
And bid the restless wheels of Time
Roll backward to their goal again.
The riches that the Mind bestows,
Outshine the purple’s proudest dye,
And pale the brightest gold that glows
Beneath the Indian’burning sky !
The Mind can dull the deepest smart,
And smooth the bed of suffering,
<V—i.ui'ts*. uut winter u/ iu t.
Can renovate a seconii spring.
Then let me joy, what* er betide.
In that uncourted treasury,
Nor grieve to see the step of pride,
In purple trappings sweeping by;
Nor murmur if my fate shut oat
1 he gaudy world's tumultuous din !
He recks not of the world without,
Whoteells he hearse world wilhin.
Vi ISCKLLANY.
General Burgoyne. —lt is cu
rious that a man of such celebrity,
as a writer, a senator, and an offi
cer, as the late Lieut. Gen. John
Burgoyne, should be found among
the number of those of whose j
youthful days no memorial has been!
preserved. Neither the time,
place, nor circumstances ot his birth
arc known. Even his parentage
is doubtful. He is said, but upon
what authority it does not appear,
to have been a natural son of that
Lord Bingiey who died at an advan
ced age, in 1774. That he had the
advantage of a liberal education,
and early intercom se with polished
society, is sufficiently evident Horn
his writings :an'd it is probable that
he was early devoted to the profes
sion of arms; for, on the lChh of
M.tv, 1759, he was raised ,to the
rank of Lieut. Colonel, and in the
August of the ensuing year he was
appointed Lieut. Col. Commandant
of the 16th Light Dragoons. His
after services at different periods,
in Spain, Portugal, and America,
are all well known ; especially the
unfortunate termination of his mili
tary career-at Saratoga, which,
though it tarnished not bis honor,
casta shade over his brow ever af
terwards conspicuous to the physi
ognomical eye. Fie made, on cer
tain occasions, no ordinary figure
in Parliament. He moved in the
first circles, and married Lady
Charlotte Stanley, a daughter of
the earl of Derby; and yet we
know not who and what originally
he was. He was author of four
successful “dramas. The Maid of
die Osks, the Lord of the Manor,
Richard Cosur de Lion, and the
comedy oi the Heiress; and yet
the curiosity of his biographer, even
in this anecdote-dealing, and me- 1
moir sifting age, cannot trace
origiu, or the scenes of his educa-j
tion. The fable of the Lord of the’
Manor seems, in some degree, to
have been suggested (though sufh- ‘
ciently disguised in the modifica
tion of character ar.d circumstances)
by the incident of his own matri-

a subaltern commission in the ar

at first the resentmer’ of the Lady’s
father to such a degree that he de
clared his resolution never to ad
mit the offenders into his presence ;
though in procees of time the an
ger of the Earl subsided, a recon
ciliation was effected, and was suc
ceeded by a warm and lasting at
tachment. It is probable also that
the memory of his lady, who died
in the year 1775, at Kensington
Palace, daring his absence in Ame
rica, is embalmed by the affection
ate regrets of the General, in that
beautiful air in the first act of that
Opera:

It is some confirmation of this
conjecture, that General Burgovne
contracted no second marriage.
Taste and sentiment, rather than
vigor and originality ; and familia
rity with local manners and the
supersets of character, rather than
the comprehensive views of the
sourcefe of human action, and pene
traiion’jnto the deepest recesses of
the heart, characterise the genius
of ths iriter ; and his satire, though
well pointed, w ill accordingly lose
it interest when die memory of the
fleeting follies and temporary poli

died away. Os his dramatic woi ks,
incomparably the most valuable is

may, indeed, be called the last,

Jf ntit Sect, iv Canada. c.-—A letter from a
Correspondent travel!:.g on I lie frontier, to
the Editors of t!ie .N, vv York Commercial Ad
vertiser, affords the following amongst other
info’ matio.i :
41 After visiting the Falls, I made
an excursion to the head of Lake
Ontario,passing Burlington Heights
and proceeded to York, via Dun
das, Nelson, St. Anns, Trafalgar,
and SfftMvoco. The capital of the
Upper Province, like the to\vn s i)l
our side is improving, but not
the same p'roportion. From tkU
number of stores in Yotk, an opitr
ion mig! n b e formed that a large
business is done. The Parliament
House, which was destroyed Iv
fire some months since, has not
been rebuilt ; if is expected that
provisions will he made at the next
session ol Parliament, for its erect
tion, provided there he no prospect
of the union of the provinces.—
About 30 miles from York there is
a singular sect of people, called
“ DaviditesT or tbe u Children of
Peace.” Their found* r and pres
ent leader, is David Wilson. He
was formerly a member of the So
ciety of Friends, as were manv of
his followers. They emigrated
from the State ©f Pennsylvania
about 25 vears ago, and they have
now a society of from 180 to 200.
Thev reside in families, and close
to each other, forming a communi
ty something like the Shakers. —
Although called the Children of
Peace, David has fifty of them
completely armed, ar.d I under
stand a part of their worship con
sists of military display. They
have recently commenced the build
ing of a Temple, which, like that of
Solomon, is to he seven vears in
building. The frame is 60 feet
square, and was prepared at a dis
tance and brought, and put togeth
er, without 44 the sound of an ham
mer or nn axe being heard.” It is
to be ornamented, within and with
out, and although it will be costly,
vet the treasury of David will not
admit of the splendor which was
displayed by Solomon, The build
ing is to be three stories high, with
a steeple. From the base to the
top of the first story is 70 feet, and
when that was completed, twenty
four females ascended and sung an
evening anthem just as the Sun
was sinking in the West. Thev
have a small place of worship, in
which there is a good organ.
They go in procession to their
place of worship, the females tak
ing the lead, being preceded by
banners, and two of their number
plaving on the lute. They have
two Nunneries for females ; one
for those of the age of 8 and under
16, and the other for those above
16. These singular people cccupy
a rich tract of country, above five
miles in lengdi by two in breadth.
They use the plain language, Jbut I
have not been able to ascertain what
are their peculiar doctrines ; they
do not object to take the ordinai v
oath iu courts of justice. On the
Sabbath that I spent at York, they
were to bold a “ Love Feast,” and
many went out to be present. It is
not like the Love Feast of the
Moravians and Methodist, where
bread and water are only made use
of, but they partake of the best
which the country affords.
“A vast many emigrants have
arrived in Upper Canada this sea
son. The last detachment, about
1500, were landed at Coburgh a;
few days since, and are now, 1 pre
sume, on their new lands, near the
Rice Lake. The population of Up
per Canada is rapidly increasing,
and as your readers may wish some
information of this interesting
country, I avail myself of a late!
work of Mr. Fothergills, t give
the following sketch; The popula
tion, from the most accurate re
turns, recently made, is 211,713. —
Ihe lands under cultivation are
98,264 acres. There are 304 grist j
mills, and 386 saw mills, 394 mer- ;
chants’ stores, 50,774 houses, 27,- ‘
644 0xen,67,644 milch cows, 35,000
calves. There are at least 290
towships of land surveyed in the
Upper Province; they average |
about 66,00 acres each, so that there
are 19,160000 acres surveyed in
the province, about three fourths of
which have been located. The
amount of wild land returned is
about two millions of acres , the
common log houses of the country
pay no tax. Ihe number of li
cences to store keepers, issued be
tween the sth January, 1823, and
the 5 h October, 1824, vvns 191, on
which was paid 4,596 dollars ; to
town lavern-keepers, 417 ; duty,
4,740 dollars ; duty paid by distil
lers, 4608 dollars ; total, 12,540 dol
lars.”

J 1 Wit of the last age. —If some pre
vious remarks <>n Doctor Cooper ant}
v ha tun <? y (of Boston. Mass.) ate recol
lected, they will render the tuilc a
story mote intelligible, Dr. Coupe*
who* was a man of accomplished man
ners and fond of society, was able, by
the aid ol his line talents, to tlispense
*,ith some of tiio severe that
other engaged in. i his hower, did
nut escape the envy and malice <d the
world, and it was said, to a kind vt pe
<ulent and absurd exaggeration,that he
used to walk to the south end, on Sa
turday, and it he saw a tnuii riding n
---o town in a black coat,w ould stop, and
isk him to preach the next day. Dr.
Chauncey was a close student, very
absent and irritable. On there traits

study one morning to receive some
directions, which the doctor having
uvven, resumed his writing, but the
servant still rema ned. Ihe master,
looking up a ft*w minutes afterward,
and supposing he had just come in,
said “Scipio what do you want?’ —
“ 1 want anew coat, massa.’ “YY eli

give you one of my old coats; and
was again absorbed in study. Ibe
servant remained fixed. Altera while,

and said, what do you want Scipio ?”

the same posture. After a tew min

anil repeated the former question,
‘ Scpio what do you want ?’ “ I want
anew coat, massa.” It now dashed
over the Doctor’s mind, there was
something of repetion in this dialogue,
“ YVhv, have I not told you before toj
ask Mrs. Chauncey to give you a coat ?
get away.” * Yes massa, but Ino want
a black coat.’ * Not want a black coat,
and why not ?’ *YY hy, massa, I fraid
to tell you, but I don’t want a black

had my cane, you villian, I’d break
your bo.ies: will you tell what you
mean r” “ I fraid to tell you massa, I
know’ you be angry/’ The Doctor’s
impatience was now highly irritated,
Scipio perceiving by his glance at the
tongs, that he might find a substitute
for the cane, and that he was sufficient
ly excited, said, “ Wall, massa, you
make me tell, but I know you be anry,
I fraid massa, If I wear another black
coat, Dr. Cooper ask me to preach for

and tell Mrs. Chauncey she may give

Terrible stories are told in the old
Geographical books of the climate of
Northern countries, where the roofs
of houses frequently take fire from the
intense heat ; but these Munchausen
tales are outdone by the marvellous
accounts of the sultry days of the past
summer. Men, women, children, ox
en, horses, cows, and sheep, have melt
ed with fervent heat. Ice houses and
forests have been consumed ; Rivers
liuve been made so warm, that their in

dinners over them, as well as by the
