lines to my children.
Written under the influr.net of a great depression
of spirits, IDA June, 1819
My babes, no more I'll behold ye,
Little think ye how he ye once low’d,
Your father w ho oft did enfold ye,
With all that a parent e're prov'd.
Mow with many a pang he is sadden'd,
How many a tear he has shed,
Porthe eight human blossoms that gladden’d
His path, and his table, and bed.
Konc knows What a fond parent smothers,
Save he who a parent has been,
YYUo once more, in hi* daughters their mo
ther's,
In his boys has his own image seed!
And who—can I finish my story ?
Has seen tlieranll shrink from hi* grasp;
Departed the crown of his glory,
No wife, and no children to clasp!
Bv nil the dear names I have uttered,
By all the most sacred caresses,
By the frolicsome nothings I've muttered
In a mood that sheds tears while it blvitas;
By the kisses so fond I have given,
By the plump iitlie arms cleaving twine,
By the bright eye, whose language was heaven,
By the rose or, the cheek press'd to mine;
By its warmth that seem'd pregnant with spirit,
By the little feet’s fond interlacing,
While others press'd forwnrd to inherit
The place of the one thus embracing;
By the breast that with pleasure was troubled,
Since no words were to speak it availing;
Till the bliss of the heart was redoubled
As in smiles on the lips 'twas exhaling;
By the girl, who, to sleep when consign'd,
The promis'd kiss still recollected ;
And on sleep on her pillow could find,
If her father’s farewell were neglected;
YVho nsk’d me, when infancy's terror*
Avail'd her, to sit by her bed;
And for the past day's little errors
On my check tears of penitence shed ;
By those innocent tears of re;>ciitnnce,
More pure e’en than smiles without sin,
Since they mark with vvliat delicate sentence
Childhood's conscience pronounces within ;
By the dear little forms, one by one,
Some in beds closely coupl'd half-sleoping,
While the eribbd infant nestled alone—
Whose heads at iny-comiug all peeping.
Betray'd thnt the pulse of ench heart
in my feet's stealing fall knew the speech ;
YVhile all would not let me depart
Till the kiss was bestow'd upon each ;
By the boy, who when walking and musing;
And thinking myself quite alone;
Would follow the path I was chusing—
And thrust his dear hand in my own ;
(Joy more welcome because uueipected,)
By all this fond store of delights,
YVhich, in sullen mood, had I neglected,
Every curse which Heaven requites,
Were Dover sufiacientfor crushing
A churl so malign und hard hearted,
But by the warm tcurs that are gushing,
As I think of the joys that are parted, i
Were ye not as the rays that are twinkling
On the waves of some clear buuuted stream,
Were ye not as the starslhat are sparkling
Night’s firmament, dark without them ?
My forebodings then hear!—By each one
Ol the dear dreams through which I have tra*
veil'd,
The clip of enjoyment from none
Can I take, till the spells, one by one,
Which have wither d ye all, be unraitlid.

AFRICA.
A book was published in £nglnnd in the
course of the past year, by a Mr. Bowditeh,
containing an account of a mission from tlie
British establishment at Cape Coast, on the
roast of Africa, to the Kingdom of Ashantee,
situated about a hundred and fifty miles
inland.—This it seems, was the first time
that this nation of Africans had ever been
visited by civilised men, and the account of
their custom.', manners, and government,
from the speeimens of the work that we have
seen, must he very.amusing and instructive.
The. Asbantecs are a powerful warlike
people, governed by a dcyiotir sovereign:
anti they exhibit some striking evidences of
wealth ; mingled with the utmost barbarism.
Tin-mission went to Coomassic, which is
the capp'd of the kingdom. This place was
supposed by the inhabitants to contain 100
000 persons, but the geulletne.n who com
posed the mission concluded that in making
this estimate, they had reference to seasons
when they assembled on some great occasi
on, rather than permanent residents, which
they imngined were about 15,000. Upon
entering it they were met by .'iOOO people,
most of them warriors, attended by a great
variety of martial music, and dressed in a
very extraordinary manner—The officers
wore n war enp ornamented with gilded
ram’s horns in front, and immense plumes of
eagles’ feathers on the sides—their vest was
of red cloth, covered with fetishes and sa-
phies in gold and silver—they had small
brass bells,‘the boms and tails of animal , anti
long leopards’ tails hung down their hacks
they Ind loose cotton trowsers. (inurh such
we presume as our dandies wear) wiMi very
le.rge hoots of red leather, coining half up
the thigh, and fastened by small chains to
their want belt—they were ornamated with
hells, horses’ tails, strings of amulets, and
shreds ofleatlier, a quiver of poisoned arrows
hung from their wrist, and they held a long
iron chain between their teeth, and a spear
was in their left hand. Such n figure, with
their Mack faces, made a truly formidable
appearance
Those people prartiee the most extensive
inhuman, and shocking human sacrifices.—
This takes place, more particularly, at the
death of great personages. The King, at hi
mother’s death, sacrificed three thousand
victims. The manner is its shockingly cruel
as the custom is diabolical
Among this nation, the arts have made
considerable progress. They use a loom
formed on the same principles with the llrit
ish; and “ the fineness, variety, brilliancy,
and size of their cloths is astonishing. They
paint white cloths not inelegantly as fast as
an European can write. They excel iti pot
tery and are good goldsmiths.—The King’!
scales, blowpan, boxes, weights, and pipe
tongs were neatly made of the purest gold.—
He appeared to he about S3 years of age-—
his manners were majestic but courteous
and his dress was magnificent, lie wort
fillet of aggry betels about his temples, had
a necklace of gold cock-spur shells, and over
his right shoulder a red silk cord, suspend
ing three sapphires rased in gold—his brace
lets were of the richest mixture of heads
and gotd ; his cloth was of dark green silk
his knee hands of aggry beads , his ancle
strings of gold ornaments oftlie most delicate
workmanship; and his sandals of a soft white
leather embossed across the instep bund
with small gold and silver cases of sapphire
He was seated on a low chair richly orna
mented with gold—the belts of his guards
were cased in gold, and covered witii small
jaw bones of the same metal. Ills eunuch
wore only one massy piece of gold about bis
neck. The loyal stool, entirely cased in
gold, was displayed under a splendid uin
brella—the breasts of the attendants were
adorned with large stars, crescents and gos
samer wings, of solid gold. The royal rela
AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF AN INTE
RESTING lOl'It.
THOM Tilt NATIONAL INISLI.10ENCXR.
On a fine morning in tin: early part of
August, 1 iiO-i, we started, on font, from
H<rnc, attended by two servants, (carrying a
change of linen and some colii |»rovision,) oil
our long projected tour through Switzerland.
After having ascended the lake of Tliune,
we proceeded to the valley of (Iritidulwald,
where we viewed the stupendous cataract
called the Stniibhacll ; t isited tile two gla
ciers and the famous field of ice, and tneii
crossed Mount Sheidegg, having the whole
chain of the Bernese Alps, w ithin a few yards
on our right. Having, alter 5 hours’ walk,
gained the summit of the mountain, where
we took refreshments, we quickly pursued
our journey, and reached, about sun-set,
Mcy’ringen, the chief town of the valley of
Ober Husly. This beautiful fruitful val
ley, through w Inch file river Aar Hows in
continual windings, is well worth the atten
tion of the traveller. The ruins of many
ancient castles, and the waterfalls with w liicli
its sides-arc decorated,.produce a highly pic
turesque scene. Leaving line abode of a
happy, because contented people, vve made
no stay until vve got to Luzerne. Front this
we made excursions upon Mount Pilate and
lliggilicrg. The prospect from the latter is,
perhaps, as, extensive and grand as the hu
man imagination can form an idea of; hut
the climbing up on the summit of Mount
l’ilate, does not reward you for the danger
nf bracking your neck. Not to leave any
thing worth seeing In hind us, we sailed all
around the lake of Luzerne, t lie borders of
which inspire you more with awe than with
delight. Its shores witnessed the downfall
of tyranny and the dawning ol liberty.—
With indescribable emotion did we visit the
tirnttly. where Tell and his associates swore
to deliver their country from the Austrian
yoke ; the narrow pass of Kussnacht, where
Gesslcr fell, and the chapel on the rock, from
which Tell pushed hack the boat, and there
by secured Swiss liberty.
From K'tssnUcht we proceeded to Stantz,
where we engaged guides. The country
separating tin-canton of Untlei'vvalden from
that of Uri is almost impassable, on account
of its alps and extensive forests, and, without
guides, travellers risk falling into chasms, or
losing their-v.ay.
After one and a half days of laborious wal
king, we arrived in full view of the Devil’s
mountain, from w liicli we raw descend a
lawitie, or avalanche,* which burst at about
half a mile from the spot where we stood

its -course was preceded by a very slrong
wind, ac coltl as ice, which however ceased
the moment it had burst. 'This mountain,
from its stupendous height, -inspiring you
with dread and horror, well deserves the
name, it hears. Yet notwithstanding this,
at hardly half.ii league from it, there is sen-
led, ia a delightful vale, sheltered from the
law inns by thick rows of pines, a monastery
uf Ursulines, where we were perfectly well
received, fc accommodated with good licds.
Next morning, very early, we set out.’
Our guides had, at the Convent, provided
themselves with cords, Sc something resem-
bling the seats of old fashioned chairs, through
which four holes were bored. After ascend
ing for nearly three hours, during which
time the atmosphere had gradually become
very cold, vve reached the foot of YVengeren
Alp, having the shape of a steep roof, and
covered with snow- and ice. After incredible
labor and trouble, we arrived at its summit,
where the cold was piercing, and from which
wc beheld a verdant vale, us if lying beneath
our feet, but the access to which seemed al
most impossible. Our guides now began to
fasten to our seats the boards they bad car
ried with them, and provided with longstafl's,
to which were fastened strong iron spikes,
they put themselves, each one, on our right
waiter supported a roasted pig—and the va
rious cookery was of an excellent character.
Mr. Bowuitch supposes the number of
men in tire kingdom capable of bearing arms,
to be rising of £00,OHO—the disposable force,
to be 100,000—the whole population to be a
million. They have a daily market supplied
with beef, mutton, wild hog, deer, monkey’s
flesh, fowls, yams, plantains, corn, sugar
cane, rice, peppers, vegetables, butter, oran
ges, jiapaus, pine, apples bananas, salt and
dried fish, large snales smoke dried, palm
wine, rum, pipes, heads, looking-glasses,-
sandals, silk, cotton cloth, powder, white and
blue thread, and calabashes.” The cattle
are as large as English cattle—the soil produ
ces two crop in a year—all the fruits men
tioned as being in the market grow spontane
ously and in great abundance—the oranges'
are very largo and of exquisite flavor—a
berry which gives to acids the flavour of
sweets, making limes taste like honey—is
common—the castor oil plant rises to a Virgo
tree, and the cotton tree sometimes to 150
feet.
The government is despotic, frequently
severe and oppressive, and, in enforcing the
customs which have been mentioned, cruel
and sanguinary. They have a sort of It g's-.
lative body, consisting of the king, four ana-
tocratical assessors, and an assembly of cap
tains—making their three estates.
With respect to religion, they believe that
white people are under the care of a higher
sort of god, and that the black are left to
the care of inferior deities—though they ex
pect that black kings and black nobility will
go to the upper gods after death and enjoy
forever the luxury which was their portion
on earth. Hence cooks, butlers kc. are sac-
rifled on their tombs. They have two sorts
of priests, one to hold intercourse with their
idols, tlie other to conjure, tell fortunes, kc.
Gold and silver are in great abundance
among them, and are wrought with consid
erable skill, into vessels and utensils.
Such is a slight account of this nation of
negroes, a race that have apparently, by the
force of their powers, made considerable ad
vances towards civilization and a regular or
ganized state of society ; and who, it would
seem, if the proper ,puins were taken, and
the necessary incans m opportunity were af
forded, might become a well informed, well
regulated, humane and christianised people.
But, it appears, that the great obstacle to the
introduction of the real blessings of civilized
life among them, is that terrible curse, cor
rupter, and deselater of nations—the slave
trude. So long as Spain continues the Iruttic,
nothing can he hoped towards this object
from tlie efforts of those nations that prohi
bit it. Whilst this mission was there, one
thousand slaves left the Ashantee country for
two Spanish schooners that were upon the
cost. If this traffic were once effectually
broken up—and that will tic* er be until the.
prosecution of it shall he declared to he, and
punished as, piracy—there is little hope that
these heathen barbarians, will become just
and humane. But, it is perfectly apparent,
from tlie example of tills people, that there,
is no material defect of bodily or mental pow
ers and capacities, in the inhabitants of Afri
ca.—.Vwr- York Daily Advertiser.

tom, until after having had several tumbles,
we found ourselves on our noses on a fine
green carpet woven by nature. None of us
received the least injury, but one, whose
hoard having given way, he arrived at the
bottom in rather a .pitiable, though ludicrous
plight After having a little recovered from
this strange mode of travelling, we proceeded
to s6me hamlets tit the farther extremity of
the valley. Their inhabitants at first receiv
ed us with shyness, hut hearing us address
them in their native palais, thev immediately
assumed a cheerful and friendly -behaviour,
and bid us welcome to their huts; where they
received us with the mostcordial hospitality
They informed us, that for 0 or 7 years pro
viously, they had not sect) a strange human
face ; that they lived secluded, but happy a-
mong themselves, and that their small valley
furnished them with all the necessaries of
life. True enough, these were simple, nnd
their wants moderate ; milk, butter, cheese,
and potatoes, were their daily food—their
Clothing was furnished by a herd of sheep.
On leaving these good and honest people

NEW MODE OF INOCULATING TREES.
A common method of inoculating is by
making a transverse section in the bark to
the stock and a perpendicular slit below ; if
the bud is then pushed down to give it the
position which it is to have. This method
is not always successful ; it is better to re
verse it, by making the vertical slit above
the tranverse section, and pushing the bud
upwards into its position—a method which
rarely fails of success ; because as the sa;
descends by the hark, as has been ascertained
and does not ascend, the bud thus placed
above the transverse section, receives abun
dance, but when placed below, the sap can
not reach it.
