Stanzas* The evening tide is flowing Away to other strands ; The sunset light is glowing Upon the shining sands; The free, light bark seems sleeping On ocean’s waveless breast— While Heaven’s bright dews are weeping In silence o’er their rest. So ebbs the tide of feeling, So beauty must decay, And leave us while it’s stealing Fur on time’s shores away : The morning ties that bound us To life with all its woes, Must wither too around us, Like freshness from the rose. And Love, who once could weave us A wreath of rosy flowers— His little bark must leave us, For other hearts than ours. Ilis shining freight of sorrows Arc hid by sunny Hope— And often, too, he borrows Iler wizard telescope. Ami Friendship, too, will falter, With all its fancied truth, And perish on life’s altar, The sacrifice of youth ; Then who shall blame us grieving Few hours of morning prime, Which memory is leaving As monuments to time. Thus ebbs the tide of feeling— So passion must decay, Till truth stands forth revealing The realms of better days ; To tics that withered round ua New being shall be given, And happy sons surround us, In cpiietude — in heaven.

[Manfred. Oh! thrice happy days of my childhood !*- The memory of thy blitheful hour* comes now upon rne like the music of u lone bird from tt cluster of flowers. How vividly is pictured on my mind all that nty young home once was; the little cot embosaomed in the silent dell, the laughing streamlet dancing by in the pride of its silver ripples, the old oak tree which stood before the door, and on whose branches I loved to sit and rock lazily in every breath that stir red its leaves, and above all, my good old gray headed father, who every evening sat beneath ils shadowy foliage, and told to my eager ear, tales of other days and other climes. Those, indeed, were happy hours, but they are past. The desolating hand of time lias been upon the abode of my lathers. Ihe little cot has fallen into ruin, the once gay rivulet no more entices the wild flowers on its borders to scatter their perfume on its bosom; its source lias failed, its bed is dry and parched. The old oak has now nothing left of its former glory, save its scathed and withered trunk, a fit em blem of the one who rejoiced most in its ven erable and shadowing branches. My good old father, too, has gone to his rest, the stone which was placed at the head of his grave, has fallen to the earth ; its inscription has become bidden by the moss of time, and I alone re main to tell that a happy family once dwelt in that ruined cottage. I have always looked hack upon my youth ful days with peculiar and pleasing emotions ; and even the deepening shades of by-gone years, but slightly dim their hallowed light.— A voice from the desolate home, from my lather’s grave, has been caught on the wings of the “viewless wind.” It comes swiftly on, it breaks in a sigh upon my ear; it tells me what J once was. The sweet remembrance of the joyous springtime of life, like the volcano in the sea, bursts its way through the waves of gu ilt and crime, which long have hidden it in their depths, and casts light upon the trou bled waters of iny soul. Then I was as free and untrammeled as the mountain air, at liber ty to roam where’er I pleased. Then, though very young, I loved to sland on the verge of the roaring cataract, and watch it leap from crag to crag, seeming as eagerly to seek its quiet bed among the grassy banks beneath, as the weary pilgrim through life’s journey co vets his heaven of rest. Then, too, 1 loved to climb the craggy steep, fright the kingly eagle from his lone eyrie on its summit, and think that as lie, undazzled, dared to lift his eye to the full blaze of the meridian sun. so would I meet and withstand the gaze of the great and mighty of the earth. My father had but one other child, and he was a boy. Few would have supposed us children of the same parents. While to me was given the appearance of one born under the sunny skies of the south, with all the dark er qualities of his character; on my brother was bestowed the fairer face and the milder nature of a child of the northern dime Though so extremely different in our disposi tions and character, we clung to each other with a deep and ardent love. It was displayed in boyhood, while chasing the wild bee to his home in the tall pines, and in inaturer y ears when prosecuting our studies under the direc tion of our father. My fair haired, bright eyed brother! he stands before roe now, as when in the glorious days of our youth, he enthusiasti cally conversed of the happiness wc would see in after years, and how pleasantly we would live on together through the bright career of manhood. But his days were few and passed llectingly away ; mine have been long and ac cursed. Woman came, and with her love. It enter ed both our hearts, and severed the bund which held us together. The young girl who enthralled us both, was passing lilt! summer on a visit to my father’s house. Blight and beautiful, with a mind rich and penetrating, she read the heart by the same glance lhat won its affections. But why speuk of her sweet blue eye, her graceful form I Why dwell on those attractions that were fraught with wo to us all? It was enough for me to knew that she was surpassingly beautiful, and her beauty swept over my strange dark nature like the gentle breeze over the chords of the harp of the winds, it called forth the deep wild music of my soul. The strong tide of love had long been pent up, and only awaited some bright creature to put aside the barrier. That creature came, and the bnrricr was torn away,* and the full, mighty current of my affections rushed forth with the accumulated strength of years, and in its resistless flood, overwhelmed the fair girl herself, who, all innocent us she was, had first given an outlet to the impetuous waters. And my brother too loved. She struck his heart as the prophet of old smote the rock, and this rich well-spring sent forth at her bidding its flow of gushing love, and then she loved him. Was it not. spoken in the heav ing bosom, in the glance of her eye, in the milder, hushed tones of her voice whenever they met? I knew that my dark nature was I as opposite to hers as to my brothers; that her every feeling, her every thought was in unison I with his; yet still knowing and believing all j this, I wished her to cast him off as a worthless ! thing, and accept my love ; a love that would have change,ddter joyous laugh into the wail of sorrow, and crushed in their birth the aspi rations of her young heart. I strove with nil the energy with which 1 was endowed to win her from him. I paid her all those little atten tions which women love so much, and called out till my boards of information and laid them at her feet. Hut in vain. I who loved the gloomy retreat and rocky glen, trod with her the flowery mead and verdant plain; I glowed in her smile, I bowed my stubborn heart and wept at the tuleof sorrow as the tear gathered in her eye; I employed every artifice; I had a meaning in every wotd; a praise in every sen tence, all, all to gain her love, and she hated j me for the very means I used to obtain it.— j And she was right. One smile, rich from my brother’s heart, was worth all the hoarded love, the deep, dark, impetuous feelings of mine'! Time flew on; the leaf had fallen; winter had bound up the fountains and covered the green sward with his snowy mantle ; spring laid called her joyous minstrels forth tochaunt a lay to her beauty, and had then breathed away her soul in the arms of summer ; and summer was kissing the faded cheek of au tumn, ere my brother told his feelings. I knew by his manner that he had told them, and I knew too that they were reciprocated. And then I began to bate him with the bitterest, direst bate. I hated him for loving her, and I hated him more for gaining her; for I believed, and perhaps truly, that had he not been there, I would have had lhat girl’s love, with all the warm pure feelings of her nature, lavished, willingly lavished on me. Down from its high throne, down in its strength, down upon my heart to check the flowing tide of love, did I force my gigantic pride, n was agony; bnf 1 was free. Then up from the depots of my dark spirit came re venge; it slew all within its deadly influence. Olt ! at that moment, even then when I tho’t I only hated her, even then 1 would have giv en worlds, had tin y been in my possession, worlds upon worlds, to have made that sweet girl doat upon me, as fondly ns site did upon my brother. All 1 wished, was to have that deep affection placed upon myself, and to make her deem in her depotion, that I too was good and pure. Vain, vain delusion. She knew me better than I new myself. A short distance from our residence, or where our home once was, is a lake. Away, far — fur way, into the bosom of the hills, wrapped up and sheltered in their dusky mantle, glad and glorious in their beauty, stretch its waters. Bounded on every side by mountains clad in the fresh green drapery of forest trees, it lies smiling sweetly and screnly, save when the soft wind conics whispering through the trees, and breathes sweet music to its waves, and entices them to leap on in their gladness and kiss the whisperer. Atone end a brook enters with a joyous bound as if eager to reach a spot where it may rest, after ils long and rugged journey through the mountain glen ; while at tile op posite shore, it passes out murmuring at being compelled to leave its calm repose. After a few short turns, it runs on smoothly and noise lessly, for the wild flowers shed upon its bosom their fragrant blossoms, to cheer Us way to the ocean. Here and there from the surface of the lake, like the queen of beauty, starting from the depths of the Ocean sea, rises an islet blooming with flowers, and covered with trees laden with festoons of llie wild grape. Upon this sheet of water, my father had launched a boat; and often in company with iny brother, had I whiled away hour after hour, in sailing over the merry wavelets; betimes stopping to bring up from their crystal home its puny inhabitants, and then again gliding rapidly away, wo would make the air resound with our shouts of boyish glee. It was one of the last days of summer, and towards evening, we had wandered along Ihe winding shore of that sweet lake. My broth er and his bethrothed walked together, while 1 stalked gloomily apart from them, apparently wrapped up in my owm thoughts, but watching them intently, through every word and look of love awakened new pangs in my yet unseared heart. At length we readied the spot where our boats was moored. I proposed that we should go over to one of the Islands and gather some of the flowers which grew upon it in great profusion. They consented, and w e all stepped into the boat. My brother took bis seat next to her in the stern, and, adjusting the oars, I began to row. We had nearly reached the landing place, when wc passed under a tree projecting far over the watdr, and covered with some of the beautiful blossomsof a paras itical plant, which hung down most tempting ly My brother called on rne to stop the boat, and prepared to gather some of them to make a wreath for his fair young bride. The flow ers were beyond his reach, and in his eager ness to pluck them, he leaned too far; the boat was pushed away and he fell into the water. Oh, how fearfully did a fiery train of dark and fiendish thoughts then flash through my brain. I knew that he was not able to raise even a finger to save his life, while too, I knew that I was a powerful swimmer, able to with stand the buffetings of the most stormy waves. If I failed to rescue him, he most die—die in 1 the spring tim| of his years *, dierim the world I VOL. 1. NO. 16. untried und with every prospect bright and cheering : die with the warmth of successful love still glowing in his heart. When he was gone, should I not gain the love that he had gained ? Why should I not succeed where he had triumphed ? Fierce, deadly was the con flict between my inad passions and my con science. The memory of my happier hours— of the days of our youthful joyousness, plead for him. But in vain. My heart was changed to rock. And would I let him die, and bear tiie mark, the bloody seal of Cain stamped up on my brow ? Aye 1 in that dark frenzied moment, I would have borne a father’s curse; I would have murdered my brother for that fair girl’s love, and I did murder him. “Brother, Brother! save me,” came up from the waters; “oh ! help, or I die.” I heeded not. “Save him ! save your brother,” shrieked the bright creature by my side, and with one strong bound, she essayed to leap out to his rescue. But my hand was upon her like the grasp of death. She seemed to wither under niy very touch ; I held her firmly down in the bottom of the boat. Again came up that wild despairing cry. But iny heart stood firm. He threw out his arms in bitter agony, the water gurgled in his throat. My God ! I see him now. How slowly he sinks down through the waters, slowly,slowly, are the waves loth to close over the head of a murdered brother ? See ! see! his arm is rai sed and points at ine. How his body writhes ■ and his fair limbsquiver at the stroke of death. , He is on the bottom ; his hair clusters thickly around his brow, and tiie fishes play about his corpse. A beam from heaven has sought its way to where lie lies on the golden sand; it trembles on his body; ‘tis gathering up his soul—it litis borne it away. Brother, thou art ut rest! I slowly raised my head from the side of the bout, on which I had been almost unconscious ly leaning, and taking the oars I began to row towards home. A sharp cry arose —it was the wail and the curse of the broken hearted. “Slayer of the holy and pure —destroyer of the beuutiful and innocent —murderer ! mur derer of thine only brother. Where 1 where stay the swift lightnings ? W'hy rains not now upon thee, the fierce wrath of a just and avenging God 7 Open—open, ye heavens, and [tour out upon his head thy just revenge ! Gape ye waters, and engulph him in your depths! Curses—curses on ye, dark and blotjpy fratricide!” The. demon was on me—madness in my brain—my hand was on her throat—one mo ment, and the golden sands would have received another corpse; ere that moment passed, her blue eye was on me and site lived. Poor girl ! But she is dead now, and they sleep together on the shore of that beautiful lake. Years have elapsed since that hour, and T have grown old and feeble. Often have I tried to reason myself into the belief, that my broth er's blood is not on my head. For did he not perish by accident ? Did he not slay himself lty his own carelessness? And conscience, has always whispered, “you might have saved him.” I have mingled with the world, and shown to men a face wreathed with smiles, and a brow without one line of care. But they have not seen the heart. The burning mark is there ; it has been since that darkday, wearing deeper and deeper; it is driving up the deep sources of life. Where’er J havegone, whate'er I have done ; the cries of the Joking and the loved have sought me out and rung upon my ear. On every tiling is written, crime. Oh ! that I might die. But hark ! it is that same shrill wild cry of agony. Thy corpse is low, my brother, but thy spirit is here. How could you look / —Thy curls hang wet on my brow ! Thine eyes are sunken and dim ! How icy cold thine hand! Thou dost beckon me to come ! In thy cold grave, brother! Gone —his spirit has faded away, and I am nlone now, but to-morrow night again, will he come from his grave, and beckon me with that thin icy hand—soon— soon—will I be with thee brother. C. From the Baltimore Sun. “ A few days since an individual calling himself Thomas Mumiing, called upon a slave trader in this city and offered to sell him six slaves. They were likely looking youths, male and female but suspicions were excited whether the salesman had a proper claim on litem. These suspicions induced Mr. Slater, the trader, to apply to officer for assistance, and they soon ferrettod out the affair. It seems that Mr. Manning, who some times acknowledges his real name of Willie Hatcher, belongs to Jefferson county, Georgia, where he fell in with certain ne groes, seven in number, who he says,, wished to emigrate to a free State; but ol that anon. He carried them to Florida, where he sold one of them, a girl between 13 andl4 years of age, for $659. From thence he proceeded to St. Marks, with his interesting charge, and embarked with them on board the schooner Mazeppa, of Boston, for New York, at which city they arrived, and immediately passed on through Philadelphia to this city, where, as above stated, he attempted to sell the negroes. There is proof, we understand, that the slaves do not bslong to the person who wished to sell them ; and that the blacks state, that so far from their having desired him to take them out of the State in which they lived, he had proposed to take them to a “ free State, ” where they could do as they pleased. Mr. Tom Manning, alias Willie Hatcher, was finally commited to prison.
