POETIC SKETCH.
“She had no thought of him spar 4 .,
The idol or lier s arec! hear*,
The hope of life’s lor.j pilgrimage.
The light, the blessing of her -e!
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. Between Red River and the Ri
ver del Notre. 42 tribes, 205,021 souls. West of
the Rocky Mountains, 87 tribes, 142.600 souls.—
Whole numbers West ofthe. Mississippi 337.341.
