Give me my pen, *tis vain to let the earth
Fetter my thoughts ; to let the wastmg dearth
Of sad misfortune prey upon the mind,
And poverty each vision darkly bind,
Whidh else would buoy the spirit up; ’tis vain,
’Tis vain to cringe beneath the heavy chair,
Which fate would coil around the bosom ; break,
Oh • dash away the cursed spell, and take
Hope’s golden harp, whose softest, faintest string,
To thee, my clouded soul, may rapture bring j
True, life no lasting pleasure seems to hold—
But ever with disquiet doth enfold,
My being; thus—I’d struggle to forget—
At least a day—each festering regret.

The foregoing is a true copy from the original—Given
Give me my pen,—I’ll write of sunny joy;
Tho* ’tis a dream which time must soon destroy,
Yet will I dream—for dreams iiave pleasure; O l
What rapture oft is mingled in their flow;
Imagination there can richly feast
On hopes—which never may be realiz’d ;
But let them banish—whilst they live at least,
Some form they bear, that 1 have idoliz’d
In times gone by, when youth was as the light
Of cloudless morn a season of delight;
Yes with a fixed idolatry of love,
That years of changes never could remove;
And even now methinks there conies a thought,
With many sunny recollections fraught:
They must be d.min’d—so let them pass away ;
The fount ne’er sparkles in a darken’d day.
I said I’d write of joyousness; well then,
I must even borrow a dissembler’s pen.
And lightly talk whilst earth forbids my rest;
Yea, even smile, whilst cankers gnaw my breast;
And I will smile—yes, smile as if for me,
Each ray of pleasure gleam’d most brilliantly;
And I will speak such woids as only tell
Of gladness, and of blissfullness full well;
Rapture shall seDn to flow from heart to eye •
It shall, like love, arise on ev’ry sigh ;
Weeping—again these cheeks shall never know ;
Tears—I have none—they’ve long since ceas’d their
flow. HAROLD.

THE BURIED ALIVE.
I had been lor some time ill of a low and linger
ing lever. My strength naturally wasted, hut the
sense of life seemed to become more and mote ac
ute, as my corporeal powers became weaker. I
could see by the looks of the Doctor that he des
paired of my recovery; and the soft and whisper
ing sorrow’ of my friends taught me that I had no
thing to hope.
One day towards the evening, the crisis took
place. I was seized with a strange and indescri-
bable quivering—a rushing sound was in my ears.
I saw around my couch, innumerable strange
faces; they were bright and visionary, and without
bodies.—There was light and solemnity, and I tri
ed to move, but could not. For a short time a ter
rible confusion overwhelmed me; and when it pas
sed oft', all m.v recollection returned with the most
perfect distinctness, but the power of motion had
departed. I heard the sound of weeping at my pil
low, and the voice of the nurse say, ‘He is dead. (
I cannot describe w hat I felt at these Words. I
exerted my utmost power of volition to stir myself,
but I coulil not move even an eyelid. After a short
vulsed with grief, drew his hand over my face, and
closed my eyes. The world was then darkened,
but I still*could hear, and suffer. When my eyes
were closed, I heard by the attendants that my
friend had left the room, and I soon after found the
undertakers wereprepari gto habit me in the gar
ments of the grave. Their thoughtlessness was
more awful than the grief of my friends. They
laughed at one another as they turned me from
side to side, and treated what they believed to be a
corpse v ith the most appalling ribaldry.
When they had laid me out, these w’retches re

mourning commenced. For three days, a number

When all who had any peculiar interest in me,

were tivo of I hem present; one had occasion to go
away before the task was done. I heard the fel

the work in silence. I was then left alone—every
one shunned the room. I knew, however, that I
was not yet buried; and though darkened and mo

mitted long. The day«ofinterment arrived—I felt
the coffin lifted and borne away—I heard and felt

people around; some of them spoke sorrowfully of

carried me to the grave. It halted, and the coffin
was taken out—I felt myself carried on shoulders
of men, by the inequality of the motion. A pause
ensued—I heard the cords of the coffin move—I felt
it swing as dependant by them—It was lowered

were dropped upon the lid—F heard them fab.

Soon after a few handfulls of earth were thrown
upon the coffin. Then there was another pause
—after which the shovel waa employed, and the
Bound of the rattling mould, as it covered me, was
far more tremendous than thunder. But I could
make no effort. The sound gradually became less
and less, and by the surging reverberation in the
coffin, I knew that the grave was filled up, and the
sexton was treading in ihe earth, slapping the
grave with the flat ot his spade. This too ceased,
and then ail was silent.
I had no means of knowing the lapseof time;
and the silence continued. This is death, thought
I, and Tam doomed to remain in the earth till the
resurrection. Presently the body will fall into cor
ruption, and the epicurean worm, that is only sat
isfied with the flesh of man, will come to partake of
the banquet that has been prepared for him with
so much solicitude and care. In the contempla
tion of this hideous thought, I heard a low and un
der sou ml in the earth over me, and I fancied that
the worms and the reptiles of death were coming
—that the mole and the rat of the grave would
soon be upon me. The sound continued to grow
louder and nearer? Can it be possible, thought!,
thal my friends suspect they have buried me too
soon? * The hope was truly like bursting through
the gloom of death. The sound ceased, and pre
sently I felt the hands of some dreadiul being work

but it was piercingly cold; and I was earned swift

THE RECONTRE.
In a fine morning of September, 1832, as tho
sea-breeze Was fanning the pale sedge anti the
jungles of mangrove that clothe the sail keys w i.:ch
line the flat coast of Mexico between r I anq :<•<> and
the peninsula of Yutacan, a clump of a t*iack boat,
loaded almost to the guuwaie with fourteen men
and their luggage, appeared crossing an inlet, a. ith
her head to the northward. It was the longboat of
an American merchantman, chased ashore to ihe
southward a few days before fy a pirate. The
party consisted of four passengers, tlie captain and
mate, and eight seamen. The officers nati hone
ver lost all authority—the captain having become
odious by his petulance, tyranny and want ol -hs-
crction—and the mate having no other pieici : .ona
to respect than his a Li Ii 1 to it.row the log, take an
observation, and work the reckoning. The; were
both at the oar, and owed their ’lives to the j rompt
ed the obedience of children, amt wt.v \\h< exter
nally distinguished only by the jaundiced hut of his
skin left lA recent yellow'fever, his bull necl b sh- .
y head, iron visage and eye of fire. Carpentero
exerted his influence also in rendering conuoittiUe
the situation of tivo Philadelphians, ia; gone m an
hepatic affection, who had left La V i a Cruz w ith
the fond hope of breathing their Iasi in their native
xity—in which respect he was ahiy seconded by
his traveling companion, Hilsoiga young English
man of a wild and daring character, but ferM with
a kind heart and high sense of honor.
The attention of the party was suddenly attract
ed by the distant report of a gun. By the i,t p of
a glass, was discernable, near the head of the oav,
along low schooner, with lofty poles, her satis full
ed, and her iron teeth peering through her black
looking* sides. The sailors, all of w horn had long
been acquainted with the Caribbean Sea and tlie
Gulf ofMexico, pronounced her, without hesitation,
the piratical schooner Hornet, chiefly owned in
Savannah, and commanded by the ferocious Beat-
tie; and their contracted countenances bort an pic
witness to to the sincerity of their declaration.—
Recollecting however that the wind and curn lit
from the sea rendered her beating out impracticable
and that no other sound between them and Tam
pico had water enough tor her entrance, they
quickly recovered their spirits, but their equanimity
was of short duration. Another flash was soon
seen to dart from the side of the pirate, succeeded
by a grumbling report; and after a few minutes, a
boat lull of men put off, and immediately gave
chqse.
The situation of the party in the longboat wassufe
ficiently alarming. They had saved arms & ammu
nition from their wreck. The captain, though a
professed duelist, Carpentero had observed, was
without courage, the mate was a timorous drone
and the seamen, who had mostly at one time of
another been in the power of the cutthroats, seem
ed parallyzed at the thought of falling into their
hands again. Should resistance become necessary,
he could with certainty rely only on Hilson, and the
two Philadelphians, who, though feeble in body,
were firm in mind, and excellent marksmen. Suc
cess, in the case, seemed impossible, yet was he
determined to resist, considering death with arms
in his hands preferable to tamely suffering 1iis
throat to be cut or tossed into the sea blind-folded,
the prey of the barracoota, the shark and cayman.
He was however disposed to try first what could be
achieved bv flight. “Take the tiller,” said he to
one of the Philadelphians—to the other, “examine
the locks and flints of the muskets”—to the crew,
“our wide force to the oars, my hearties,” setting
the example himself Never did men exert them
selves more williqgly. Tlie water foamed abouf^
the bow and boiled on their oar-blades. But it was
the gul! fleeing from the eagle. The sharp clinker
buiit boat of the pirates was gaining on them so
rapidly, that though, at first, more than four milej
off, she was within a mile and a half in less than an
hour. Flight was evidently hopeless, and the meg
were exhausted. “Let us lie on our oars where*
we are,” they cried, “and fight them when they
come up.”—“Yes,” said Hilson—“fight while we
can, when they board, set fire to the keg of pow
der.”—“Fight to be sure,” answered Carpentero ;
“but with the best advantage our circumstances
admit.—Run into that clump of mangrove on the
starboard,,*—pointing to a thicket of those bushes,
on a salt key about three hundred yards to the east,
running down into the water. “The mattered
leaves and thick shade may be of service. Pul.
briskly. Lay her forte and ail with the shore,** he
continued, as she buried herself about thrice her-
lebgth among the arched branches; if with alacrity
the order was obeyed.—“Remember, (he added,>
