French government and our own, haviu-r been

under takes to secure to every citizen his
rights. If these are infringed by foreign na
tions, and the citizen suffers, he has a claim
upon tiie government for indemnity. Now
there is a large mass of claims fur spoliations

AFFECTING SCENES.

In a letter to Miss Schuyler, (afterwards

made to overtake Arnold, immediately after
his detection. He thus writes respecting the
situation in which he found Mrs. Arnold:
“I saw an amiable woman frantic with dis-
ress for the Joss of a husband she tenderly
loved—a traitor to bis country and his fame—
a disgrace to his connections. It was the most
affecting scene I ever was witness to. She,
for a considerable time, entirely lost herself.
The General went up to see her, and she up
braided him with being in a plot to murder her
child. One moment siie raved, another she
melted into tears. Sometimes she pressed het
infant to her bosom, and lamented its fate, oc
casioned by the imprudence of its father, in a

insensibility itself. All the sweetness of beau

in addresses and prayers, to signify conscious

to hear men pray that they may “realise their
sinful condition,” “realize their need of a Sa

Bat the true meaning of the word is to bring
iuto actual existence that which was oniy the

of noble oaks, and defended by wicker batte

TLe Emperor Niger made a reply, worthy of
his eminent sttflinn, to a person who request
ed permission to recite his panegyric-:—
“Speak,” said he, “an culogium on Mtiriiis,
Ha unibul, or some other of those ancient rap-
tains. in order that we may imitate what they
performed : for it is a mockery to sound the
praises of a living man, aud above all of an
emperor—it is not to extol him on account of
what be lias done, but to flatter him in order to
receive a recompense. For my part, I wish
to be loved during tnv liis, and to be praised
after my death.”
ADDRESS.
To the Young Men of Macon, suggested by the dissolu
tion cf the Pa rich Ilcnry Society.
As by the magic of some jiotent spell,
Which none but fancy s graphic art could tell,
I seem to stand on some stupendous h-ieht.
From whence I view through History's glaring light,
The deed-ofconutless yeirs longgonc by,
Swift as the fleeting shades of life can t!;,.
’.Mid darker years u nt il scarce a Stateman's name,
Had risen on the lofty dills Of fame,
I view the warrior for his deeds renowned.
Arrived in spleudour, and with glory crowned.
But fadinir were the laurels which he wore,
They dec!; his noble war-worn brow no more.
Yet 'mid the darfc-ome gloom of mental night,
A Poet opened fir.-t :!>e rays of light,
Which aided by the efforts of his mind,
Dispelled the gloom that shrouded all mankind.
Yes. Greece destined to a noble fame,
Produced a son whose never dying name.
Shall shine untarnished long as stars shall glow,
Or rivers run, or Ocean ehh and flow.
The blind old man who wandered o’er her plains,
And sang his Iliiad to more lofty strains
Thau e’er before was heard in Grecia’s bowers,
Or ever since beguiled her people’s hours.
A Homar rose unequalled for Insfame,
And wrote eternal honor to his name.
Continuous o’er the wildering scene I view,
Fresh stars arising ever bright and new.
They shine unsullied, with a halo bright-,
Encircling round them, glowing as their light,
Beneath them lie a breathless, listening world,
Above them wave the banners Fame unfurled—
They shine as beacon lights to all mankind,
The stars of intellect, and glow of mind.
Bright Genius on his radiant bow is seen,
With smiling features and most noble mein,
Awaiting in suspense to crown the name,
That stands the brightest on the cliffs of fame.
Ambition too. upon a firey steed.
\Y ith fury dashes upward in tiie lead.
And -'corns to cast a lingering look behind.
On those who care not for the march of mind.
While famohigh bending from her lofty place.
Holds out her crown o'er all the giddy race.
And bids them with undaunted vigor rise,
And hear away the glory and the prize.
Sons of America! awake, awake,
And win the victory for your country's sake;
March to tiie glorious conquest of the mind,
And leavo the futile hopes of wealth behind.
On your mountain’s topmost height behold,
The fadeless laurel and the crown of gold;
Famo beckons yon to scale tin- giduy height.
And genius waits to guide your steps aright.
Children of Freedom’s home, awake, arise
And scale the summit, thoueli it reach the skies.
INVOCATION.
Spirit of Hf.vuv, wilt thou not descend.
Or from thy lofty habitation bend !
To view the votaries, so solemn now,
At the stipulcral stone of science how—
To catch the chant which rises up to heaven,
In sad remembrance of thy virtues given ;
Now crushed beneath the car of worldly pelf,
Man’s only aim, the building up of self.
Yes, we bad reared a noble structure here,
Crowned with thy name, which memory did revere;
Though now forgotten by a recreant host,
Who are but common triders at the most.
Let youths possessed of energy and mind,
| Leave, all such worthless recreants behind,
I Who care not for the lofty hopes of Fame,
! That gives eternal honor to a name,
I Spirit of Usvrt, wilt thou not descend,
i Or from thy lofty habitation bend!
| And let thy mantle at a nation’s call, ■
