THE REIGN OF MAY
BY PEKCJVaL.
I feel n newer life in every gale j
The winds, that fan tbe flowers.
•And with llieir welcome breathings fill the
sail,
Tell of serener hour?—
Os hours tlml glide iinfell away
Beneath the sky of May.
The spirit of (lie gentle south wind call*
l'rom his blue throne of air,
And where his whispering voice in music
falls,
Beauty is budding there ;
The briglil ones of the velley break
Their slum tiers and awake.
The waving verdure rolls along (lie plain,
And (lie wide forest waves,
To welcome back its playful mates again,
A renopy of leaves ;
Amt from its darkening shadow floats
A gush of trembling notes.
Fairer and Brighter spreads the reigrt of
May ;
The iresses of the woods,
With the light dallying of the west* wind
play,
And the full* brimming floods,
As gladly to their god they run,
Hail tlir returning son.

THE PIRATE’S DEATH.

commercial hospital,and the lunatic asy
lum of Ohio* “ill perhaps readily recog
nize in the following sketch an inmate
of that public charity. \\ bile w ander
ing through the wards of this edifice, at
1 the period referred to, lity attention was
arrested By the emaciated figureof a man
(apparently about twenty-live years of
age, Itu f ie,* oiesented a regularity of
feature, and indicated a depth ot unnQ,
well calculated to elicit observation* It
• was peculiarly marked by some of the
. stronger am! more ignoble features of
our nature* As 1 entered bis room, he
raised his head and gazed on me for a
moment, a stifled groan escaped him,
bis frnmd seemed convulsed with deep
emotion—his eyes ger.tlv sunk towards
the floor, and be gradually elapsed into
! the condition in which I found him, 1
j left his room, but could not leave his
image behind me. In the course of a
* few days I saw him again. Subsequent
i lv 1 made him a third, fourth, and fifth
l visit. I engaged him in conversation,
won upon his confidence, in our last in
terview, received from him w ith an air
of earnestness which carried tomv mind
Conviction of its truth, the history r>f bis
’ life. I give tbe substance onlv—the
language ami many incidents I cannot
repeat. To spare the feelings of some,
of the surviving relatives, I shall call
; him by a fictitious name.
Those pupils of Yale College, Avho
were at that venerable institution in the
years 1810, 20 and 21* w ill recollect a
; young Virginian, possessing fine talents,
warm impulsive feelings* fiery and un
governable temper; an idler in bis stu
dies—relying upon the force of bis ge
nius. and a sceptic in religion* He was
generally called by his messmates in
College, “ pious Hotspur.” This appel
lation was the result of his religious prin
ciples, which, forcibly and plausibly
maintained, were far from being ortho
dox. The influence, of Iris father’s
opinions, together w ith the perusal of the
infidel works of Paine and Voltaire, had
early imbued his mind with so much
scepticism upon that subject, that tbe
ceaseless and assuasive admonition of
liis pious mother fell like seed of the
husbandman rocks and thorns.
Born in affluence, reared amid the
sports of the field, and allurements of a
society, gay, fashionable, and dissipated,

the. beautiful form, and the still more
lovely face of Elizabeth, had strongly
enchained the feelings of Littleton.—-
Their attachment for each other wa#

strengthened (at least on her pait) thß>
ties of affection. Fhe loved his virtues
and admired his talents, hhe knew but

Within a twelve month, however, after*
his return from college, an incident oc

one of his nocturnal revels, a quarrel a
rose over the gaming table,between Lit
tleton and Ills associate. Blows ei sired,
ar.d in the heat of passion, Litileio’rt
drew his dirk, aid stabbed his compan
ion severely. He was arre ted anil
thrown into prison, until it w as asce. min
ed that death was not likely to ensue.—
By this circumstance Elizabeth was a
wakened ni her dreams of love end
happiness. The pace of Littleton S Site,
by the interposition of a friend, was
spread befit? her. She was amazed
and giddy w ith the thought of the preci

struggle was violent, but their engage
ments were disolved j and with a prompt
ness of decision equally indicative ot
firmness of soul and purity of feeling*
she gathered in her young affection - Imt
with them the seeds of sorrow and afflic
tion.
.Stung with disappointment and mor
tified pride almost discarded hy his fa
ther, and partially discountenanced by
society, 1,. now plunged deej or into
scenes of vice and dissipation. Harrns
sed by debts, and. deserted by those who
had fawned upon him in prosperity, he,
clandestinely left the scenes of hisehild
hood, and the companions of his disso
lute habits. Uncrossed the mod: tairf.
descended the Ohio and Mississippi 1 ,
making transitory visits at Cincinnati
Louisville and Natchez, where though
wearing the exterior of a Gentleman;
and possessing that fascination which
ever attends genius and attainments, he
mixed only with vulgar and depraved
company. In Netv-Orleantf he front}
himself surrounded hy sharpers and
scenes of human depravity to which
those he had passed through were ns no
thing. His small stock of money was
soon exhausted his cloths in tHtters, nhd
the barriers between vice and virtue near

this situation he became acquainted W ith
the commander of a piratical vessel, who
in diguise was obtaining provisions font
cruise and some additional coriipnniont,
to share with him the spoils and dangers
of piracy.
The idea of engaging in such a hor
rible course of life was at f rst a little
revolting to Littleton, but the etmggto
was neither long nor severe; the still
small voice ol conscience was sooA,
hushed, and recreant to all the ties of
virtue, country and kindred, ere tho
lapse of two weeks he found himself’
