Hut hope is like the rainbow’s form, Dying in tears and bom in storm; And all must fe l wh t p .s.ing flowers Are joys we deem’d, mast truly ours.” “Mas, life is a weary voyage, made Mid storms and rocks, with just a sun ray sent! To lure us on and leave us.” Down swept the gaiiiered water over rocks Which broke at times the column's lonming line; Darkening amid the snow-white froth, it swept Like an all conquering army, and an arch Os sparkling hues that in the sunbeams played Seemed to unite it with the sky which hung Above all calmness an t re.;n>3't. The blue Ethereal, soft and fiaiuless, well b -aecrn’l A heaven we- deem the dv.’cUrf>£ place of peace. Dvwtuvaids it rushed; the tall green pines • that hung Upon the cliffs beside, were covered o’er With silver sprays there s ; jod those sUtelv j trees, Braving the furious storm, as the proyd mips Os Greece, when Greece w**s glorious, stood and braved The tyrant’s menace and defied the yoke. It reached the plain below; a crystal lake Became its dwelling, where the damping wave flad lost all memory of its former strife. The willyws grew around, and that pale flow cr , The water-lily floated on its face. ‘i he halcyon plumed bis azure wings, nor fear ed A cotrflng storm and in the midst an Isle Hose hke ablest shrine to the guardian power Oftiia 4 sweet scene. It was a little spot i haded by gloomy firs and lighter birch: Here the wild strawber-y shed its first white blossoms, ■Amt the dove built her nest, while the soft fp'k, Sighing amjd the graceful arches, gave Tiie only answer to her muramritiga. Two once dwelt h re, a Mother and her Child: She was a widow, and had deeply drunk The cup of bitterness. Bn’ woman bears The storm, man shrinks from, unrepiningly. At length the one to whom her love had been A light mid darkness died, and she was left In cpldnc,ss and unkindness: but one link Prill bound her to the earth; there was a smile j Hove gladness to her wounded heart, a voice Os joy and consolation, one who mails 1 life very precious to her—the young bird, Her own sweet nestling, yet tooyoungtoknow AVhut clouds hung o’er him—Quiet came at last; The mourner found a little lone retreat Where she might rest her feet—this isle Became herlmme. Her child grew up A hope and blessing to her:—she was proud To hear that when he joined his young com peers, Ko foot was fleet as his. no hand could send The arrow so unerringly, and none Po lightly and so fearlessly could scale The height whereon the the eagle dwelt; ami more Th < \ai|,to feel how she was loved! He seem ed ♦ To iive hut for her. When with boyish pride He dared the ventm oils path the others feared, If chance lie saw his mother’s cheek grow pale, The meed was left unwon. One morn he went in his light skill; and promised to return us evening fel ; but when the sun sank down- The air was thick with clouds, and the fierce . winds I’ou-ed in its angel 1 o’er the waters, loud The thunder rolled, and the red lightnings hurled Their fiery warnings. High upon a ruck She r ised afire, —the lightning .struck the pile, She marked it not —the rain beat on her head, H was unl'elt—but wilh the agony t )i’ hope expiring, still she led the Same ly.iy rolled the clouds away, and sick at heart, She looked towards the shore, he floated there, I!crown beloved child!—With one wild shriek, She threw herseh'towards him, and the waves Cipaed on them undivided! DAYS OF OLD. < We copy iVotn Niles ’ valuable “Princi ples and Acts of the Revolution” the sub sequent authentic extract from the Boston Gazette of 1774. The following is an authentic copy of a letter which was lately thrown into the camp, with the following direction : To the Officers and soldiers of liis ma jesty's troops in Boston. “It is more than probable that the King’s standard will soon be erected, from rebel lion breaking out in this province, it is proper that you, soldiers! should be ac quainted w ith the authors thereof, and of all the misfortunes brought upon the pro vince; the following is a list of them—- vii: 6&muet Adams, James Bowdnio, Dr. Thomas Young, Dr. Benjamin Church, capt. John Bradford, Josiah Quincy, Maj. Nath*l. Barber, Wm.Molineaux, John Han cock, William Cooper, Dr. Chauncey, Dr. Cooper, Thomas Cushing, Joseph 43reen!eaf and W m. Denning. “The friends of your king and country and of America, hope and expect it from you, soldiers, the instant rebellion happens, you iviU put the above persons immediate )bf to the sword, destroy their houses and ; plunder their effects : it is just that they ! should be the first victims to the mischief i they hare brought upon us. (sign eh) Jl friend to Great Britain and America. “P. S.—Don’t forget those trumpetois of ; -(edition, the pi inters, Edea A* Gill and ! Thomas.” With what just pride, must those pro bribed patriot.*, after the consummation of j,that great revolution, to the accomplish* 1 meet of which they had devoted all that j made life estimable, have reviewed the ‘perils they had encountered and the victo jry they had achieved. An oblivion of the principles and feeling at our glorious re volution, is the political vice of our latter days. Can we think these illustrious pat riots, (and for aught they knew) Martyrs, were on a bed of cose*, when designated byname, a raurdeious band of hirelings was commanded to put them to the sword, destroy their houses, and plunder their ef fects ? Letth * mind susceptible of patriot ic feelings carrj itself back to a pe riod like this, and then retain for (he nation, who sanctioned these murderous plans, all the charity it can. The ,c sainted patriots” however, ‘* tri umphed” llon*,r proudly delights to re view their acts, and the persecutions they end n ed: aad patriotism throw laurels on their tciitib*. The “trumpeters of sedition too, the. printers, the managers of that mighty engine, which a political Archi midcs alone wants to move t> e political ■world, are r,ot forgotten. One t least sur vives. The pigmy proscribes (the comman ders of * hi* majesty’s troops”) have ming led with their native dust, unknown, or remembered only to be despised; while the; fame of the persons to be “put to the sword” flourishes in ail its bloom and freshness and fragrance, the pride of a rising nation, and the lesson of a world. From t’ie Spectator—No. 509. ORIGIN OF “HOBSON’S CHOICE.” “ Tobias Hobson, (Hobson was the car rier between Lntulott ar.d Cambridge—at the latter place he erected a handsome stone conduit, and left sufficient land for its maintenanca forever—lie died in the lime of the plague, H3BO, in the eighty sixth year of his age,) from whom we have die expression, was a very honorable, man, j for I shall ever cttli the man so who gets] an estate honestly. Mr. Tobias Hibson j vas a carrier ; and, being a man of great abilities and invention, and one that saw where (here might good profit arise, though the duller men overlooked if, this ingenious man was the first in this island who let out hackney horses. lie lived in Cambridge ; and observing that tiie scholars rid hard, his manner was to keep a large stable ol horses, with boots,bridles, ant) whips, to furnish the .gentlemen at once, without going from cjdloge to college to borrow, as they have done since the death of this worthy man. I say, Mr. Hobson kept a stable of forty good cattle, always ready and fit for travelling; but, when a man came for a horse, he was led 1 into the stable, where there was great choice ; but he obliged him to take the horse that stood next to the stable door ; so that every customer was alike well served according to his chance, andeverv horse ridden with the same justice ; from whence it became a proverb, when what ought to be your election wav forced upon you, to say, “ Hobson’s • choice.” This memorable man drawn in fresco at an inn (which lie used) in Bishopgate stieet, with an hundred pound bag under his arm, with this inscription upon said bag r “ The fruiful mother of a hundred more.” “ Whatever tradesman will trytheex pnriifMMit, and begin the il.nv after you 1 publish tins my discourse to treat his cos-; turners ail alike, and all reasonably and! honestly, 1 ensure him tire some success.”; The following is Dr. Moore’s estimate of the’ number of Indians ii> the U. states:— In the New-England nine tribes 2247 souls. In New-York ten tribes, 4840 souls. In. Pennsyl vania 30 years ago, 3 tvibfcs, 1300 souls, in num ber at this time not known. In Ohio, 1.5 tribes, 2047 souls. In Michigan and the N. AV. Territo ry, 36 tribes, 27,480 souls. In Indiana and Illi nois, 14 tribes, 15,522 souls. Southern Indians east of the Mississippi, 20 tribes, 66,487 souls.— The total number east of the Mississippi, 20 tribes, 120,393 souls. North of the Missouri and AVest of the Mississippi, 13 tribes, 4'1,350 souls. East of the Kocky Mountains to the Mississippi and between Mlsieuri and Rcrl River, or west of tire'Mississippi to die Rocky Mountains, 36 tribes, 105,021 souls.
