POETRY. SATURDAY NIGHT. Swf.kt to the soul the parting ray, That ushers placid evening in ; When with the still, expiring day, The Sabbath's peaceful hours begins How grateful to the anxious breast, The sacred, hours of holy rest. Hove the blush of vernal bloom. When morning gilds night’s sullen tear, Ami dear to me the mournful gloom Os Autumn, 11 Sabbath of the year But purer pleasures, joys sublime, Await the dawn of Hoi.x Time. Hushed is the tumult of the day, And worldly cares and business cease; While soft tbe vesper breezes play, To hymn the glad return of peace; Oseason blest, O moments given ! To turn the vagrant-thoughts to Heaven. What though involv'd in lurid night, The loveliest cbanns of nature fade ! Yet inid the gloom can heavenly light, With joy I he contrite soul pervade ; O then Great source of light divine, With beams ethereal gladden mine. Oft as these-hallowcd hours shall come, O raise my thoughts from earthly things. And bear me to ray heavenly home On living Faith’s immortal wines— 'Till the last gleam of life decay In one eternal Sabbath Day ! From Poulson's American Adrerliser. “Arise—shize ! for thy Light is come.” ISAIAH LX. 1. Hark! ‘tis the prophet of the skies, Proclaims Redemption near; The night of death and bondage flies, The dawning streaks appear! Zion, from deepest shades of gloom, Awakes to glorious day ; Her deserl wastes with verdure bloom, Her shadows flee away ! To heal her wounds, her night dispel, The Heralds* cross the main ; On (Calvary’s awful brow they tel! That Jesus lives again! From Salem’s towers, the Islaim sign, With holy zeal is hurl’d— ’Tis there Immanuel’s symbol’s shine, His banner is unfurl’d ! The gladdening news commenc’d afar, Remotest nations hear; To welcome Judah’s rising star, The ransom’d tribes appear ! Again, in Bethlehem, swells tbe song, The choral breaks again ; While Jordan’s shores the strains prolong, “ Good Will—and Peace to Men !” * Missionaries to Palestine. MISCELLANY. The following interesting relation is selected from the “ New York Literary Journal and Belies Lettres Repository,” published monthly, in that city, by S. C. Van Winkle. Many of our read ers may have perused it in the Journal, but it will •doubtless be new to the greater part - “ I entered the army at the commence ment of the revolution a humble private eoldier, and left it, od the establishment of our independence, a major and a cripple. “ f know not whether it was owing to my Yankee inquisitiveness, or to any belter quaiitv I possessed, but wherever I wau dered, I contrived to meet with, or hear more adventures and obtain a knowledge of more secrets, than any of my comrades. Indeed I was in the confidence of half my regiment, and was the faithful deposit of many a love affair. “It is the common remark of an old man, that times are changed to the worse, unlike his young days, kc. But these days, when mer. pursue their daily routine of business y pleasure, without interruption, eat in peace, and take their rest fn securi ty, are happily different from those when our food was eaten with ‘ each man his staff in his hand, and his loins girded,’ and when the sleep which nature claimed after days of danger and fatigue, was but the slumber of watchfulness. “ These various scenes, the adventures that befel me, and which 1 witnessed around me, have filled my memory with recollec tions, the recording of which, has often amused the languid hours of solitary’ age. It has afforded me some gratification to ’ ‘ fight my battles o’er again and should they be deemed worthy of notice, your at tention will sometimes he intruded-upon by the recollections of an old soldier. “It was a lowering summer day ; dark clouds, piled on each other, frowned over j the earth, and distant peals of thunder an-’ nounced the approaching tempest, when Maj. H and Capt. Seymour, at the jfieail of a small reconnoitering party, from the English camp, found themselves betvil- j dered in a thick wood, without the prospecti of shelter. > It was one of those extensive ; obrests with which our country abounds;! paths which intersected it in every di- ! •ection, indicated mat it was often travel ed, though the roads might well perplex ; ;he traveller. Taking the path they! jtonght most likely to lead them to tine j jigh road, from whence they had wander- J od, the party hastened on for the space ofi an hour, when they heard the gushing f sound of a water-fall, and presently they j stood on the side of a narrow stream,; which, after dashing down some high rocks, i murmured away, and was lost iu the woods. At any other moment, Major H—— would 1 hare paoied, to taste the lonely beauties of the scrifle: td mhrk the contrast between • the white foam of the water, with the dark moss which spread its velvet covering over the recks, and inhale the fragrance of the locust, whose white blossoms hung in wreaths over the stream. But he hurried impatiently by, for, almost concealed by the trees, stood a log house; which, deso late as it appeared, still afforded the hope of shelter. “A thin stream of smoke, wnich rose from the chimney, alone betokened that this miserable abode harboured a human being. “Major II knocked at the door; but receiving no answer, he burst with his foot the slender fastening. They entered a room which was dark and cheerless; the roof afforded slight protection from the weather, though its many apertures served to light the apartment^ “ It was not till they had stood a moment in the room that they perceived a female hendiog over (he embers which warmed the hearth. Her gray hairs hung irreve rently about Iter face and neck ; her shriv elled fyame seemed bent with age or dis ease, and despair was marked on the wrin- kled countenance that met the officer*’ view, a she turned to look at them; and hastily averting her head, muttered, ‘ Mur der abroad again !’ ‘Good dame,’ said Ma jor H , will you direct us to the main road?’ She returned no answer. The of ficer repeated the inquiry; biit the old wo man did not appear to notice him. ‘Damn the old crone,’ he said, and placing his hand on her shoulder, in no gentle manner, — ‘ Woman, do you hear me ?’ She raised her eyes—the light shone through the crevices of the roof full on the martial form of the officer. The old woman gazed on him, and as the lightnings which flashed around them seemed to illuminate the hut, it re vealed her haggard features, agitated by the strongest emotion. She clasped her hands convulsively, and said, ‘Hear yon! yes, and know you too; what seek you here? I have never another child.’ Then apparently yielding to recollections which his form recalled, she busied herself in sweeping the hearth, while she muttered, ‘ Make the best room reafy, and get it nice, dear, for he is the king’s officer, and we must honour the king. What have you done, foolish wench, to make your hands so bloody ? Oh, sorrow, sorrow—one’s own child, too !’ She shuddered, and laid her head upon her hand. ‘ The devil take the hag,’ exclaimed Seymour, ‘ i will try to get a straight answer at least.’ Coining close to her, he put his lips to her ear, and said, in a loud voice, ‘ Beldame, where will this foad lead us?’ The woman awoke, as from a trance, and started on her feet. ‘Where?’ she said steadily—‘to a sudden and bloody end; and yon,’ she continued, pointing with her trembling hands to Major H ‘you, who look strangely on me, man of sin, you will die in sorrow, and the curse of the widow weigh upon you;’ then raising her shrill, broken voice, she sung, without seeming to heed her astonished au ditors, what seemed to be the stanza of some popular so,ng : “ Yea. many a youth, with heart cf pride, And cheek with glory flushing, Full tow has laid at even tide, While fast the blood was gushing. Thy arm of strength, and thy sabre bl ight, Naught, naught will now avail thee ; Gay, gallant! ere fall the dews of night, The light of life shill fail thee,” “ ‘ Let us go,’ said Major H , hastily, * the bowlings of the t"mpet are not worse than the raving? of a mauiack.’ The officers left the hom e in silence, and railing to their men, continued the narrow path which led from it. The slorm still raged with the utmost violence; a peal rs thunder, which caused them involuntarily to stop, was fol lowed by a bullet, which, whistling through the trees, lodged itself in tbe bosom of Ma jor II ; and with the noise of the tem pest came the sound of many footsteps. ‘ That treacherous hag!’ said major H ; ‘ It is the enemy—Fly, Seymour, save the men. Do not regard me,’ he exclaimed, seeing his friend hesitate, ‘lam dying.’ Seymour obeyed, and his party, .living into the wood, were soon lost to sight, except one soldier, who would not leave his com mander, but endeavoured to hide him with the bushes, while he crouched beside him. The American Iroops inarched in sight; but net perceiving the wounded man, passed on. The agonies of his wound, which fear for his comrades safety bad awhile suspen ded, now overcame Major H—. “Thomp son, support me to yon hut, inhospitable as it is.’ The soldier obeyed ; but the door wa s already fastened in some mariner so as to resist his efforts to open it. At last a sharp voice asked who troubled her.— ‘ Open the door, if you have any pity— any mercy,’ implored the soldier. Yon have come to the wrong house,’ said the old woman. ‘ My master if dying,’ said the man. The door was opened, while she exclaimed, ‘ death is welcome.’ He laid his fainting burthen on the bed, and endeavoured to stanch the blood which flowed from the j wound. His hostess started when she re cognized the features of Major 11 , | and was silent for some moments. She ! passed her hand ever her brow, and pnt a :side the dark wet locks that shaded it. ’‘Said 1 not, the honr would soon come?’ ! she exclaimed— 4 disgrade, murder, threat ■ ened gallows, branded name—all, all are : avenged.’ The dying man had writhed j under her touch, and now raising his spir i its, he said, 4 Who tire you ?—how have 1 ; injured you?’ The old woman open led a door at the foot of the bed, and : led in the room the form of exquisite beau* i ty. Every charm unfled to adorn the face j which no ray of sense illumined:—tluye j was no expression, save the vacant stare j and idiotick smile. As her mother led her to the bed,-Major II knew her, and ‘stretchiug out his hands, cried, in a fearful voice, ‘Ellen! Ellen!’ ‘ Aye, 1 sftidtlie mo ther, ‘you know your victim. 1 ‘Oh! he exclaimed, ‘fur one hour of life to do this injured one justice I 1 ‘Justice !’ repeated the old woman, mournfully, ‘ can you re- j store her Reason,or herinnocence V ‘Cease, i woman, torment me not with your re-j proaches.’ ‘,lla!’ said the old woman,, walking up to the bed,‘do you shrink ! you could leave her when she lay at your feet, and begged you to s(ay, even for the love of God and the unborn infant that would he fatherless. Yon dared to do this —do ye fear to hear of it? You talk of atonement —how ? would you give us gold, whom you have robbed of peace ? gold! to L* pt an other spoiler V At that moment, Ellen, who had laid her hands on the bleeding breast of her destroyer, and stained them with his blood, held them up, and looked wist fully in her mother’s face; who started, and said, in a tone of piercing anguish, ‘ Just so she looked when’ ‘ When what. faintly demanded Majitf - H *• ‘ M Hen she •murdered her babe,’ was the aorupt reply. A deep, long drawn groan from the bed announced that the cord ol life was broken.” CIRCUMSTA NT! AL EVIDENCE. From, an English. Paper. A farmer was tried at the assizes for the murder of a neighbour under the toliowing circumstances: The evidence ‘vent to prove, that the deceased was toned recent !v murdered; and by his side lay a pitch fork, evidently the sort and instrument by which the wounds up;.'eared to have been inflicted. The person finding him, discow ered the initials of (he piisoner, to whom he, with others, immediately repaired, to ascertain whether he had any knowledge of the circumstance. The prisoner ap peared confused, but positively denied any knowledge about it; not being able to ac count, however; for his fork getting into the possession of, or being found near, the deceased. Further inquiries were made, and the prisoner’s bouse searched, when under his bedding were discovered some clothes which he usually wore (and had been seen in that very morning) covered with blood, and the deceased’s fork be hind the bedstead. The prisoner, being called on for his de fence, declared his innocence ; and called God to witness that he tvasnot the murder er. The troth, he said, was this, although he had at first denied all knowledge of the affair; —that be was walking to one of his neighbour’s grounds, that morning, with his fork in his hand, (it being hay time) and (hat he found the deceased weltering in his blood. That he immediately render ed him wliat assistance he could, bj’ raising him up, and that the man died in his arms. Finding life gone, and observing the bloody condition bis own clothes were in, and fear ing that he might therefore be suspected, he hurried home, and by some mistake took up the deceased’s fork instead of his own. The judge (Mr. justice Blackstone, I think) nnd jury, except one man, immediately con cluded the prisoner guilty. This juryman, fortunately for the prisoner, knew that cir cumstances were not always to be relied on, an.l could not be brought to reconcile his mind, to find him guilty. The judge, who was ready to move off to the next as size town, considering this man a most ob stinate felloov, desired to know what could lead him to a supposition of the prisoner’s innocence when the circumstantial evidence of his guilt was perhaps the strongest ever known. I’he juryman obtained an interview with the judge, from whom he exacted a prom ise that his reasons for snch conduct should not be named by his lordship until after his the juryman’s death. He then said'to his lordship, I am (if 1 can he so called) the murderer, and not the prisoner ; but the fact is, it was purely accidental. The de ceased was.oor titheman, a man of quarrel some disposition, and we differed about his setting out the tithe of my hay. From words we got to blows, and in a scuffle we both fell, and in the fall the fork penetrat ed liis side. Considering the wound mor tal, after a few minutes T left him, and the prisoner came up soon afterwards; and his statement is perfectly true, although cir cumstances would have hanged him, but that Providence placed me upon his jury. The prisoner was in consequence acquit ted, and tbe above facts were, after the death of this juryman, introduced by the same judge in his charge to the grand jury upon a subsequent circuit, by way of cau tion against admitting ii; all cases, however strong, circumstantial evidence alone. WINTER IN THE ARCTICK REGIONS. The darkness of a prolonged winter now broods impenetrably over the frozen continent, unless the moon chance at times to obtrude her faint rays, which only discover the horrours and wide j desolation of the scene. The wretched settlers, Covered with a load of bearskins, remain crowded and immured iu their hut, every chink of which they carefully stop against the piercing external cold ; and cowering about the stove .or the lamp, they seek to doze away the tedious night. Their slender stock of provisions, though kept iu the same apartment, is often frozen so hard, as to re quire to he cut with a hatchet. The whole of the inside of their but becomes lined with a thick crust of ice; and if they happen for an instant to open a window, the moisture of the confined air is immediately precipitated in the form of a shower of snow. As the frost continues to pene trate deeper, the rocks are heard at a distance to split with loud explosions. The sleep of death seems to wrap up the scene in utter and oblivious ruin. At length the sun re-appears above the horizon —but his languid beams rather betray the wide waste, than brighten the prospect. By degrees! however, the further progress of the frost is check ed. In the month of May, the famished inmates venture to leave their hut, in quest of fish on the margin of the sea. As the sun acquires elevatnn his power is greatly increased. The snow gradu ally wastes away, the ice dissolves apace, and vast fragments of it, detached from the cliffs, and undermined beneath, precipitate themselves on the shores with the noise and crash of thunder. The ocean is now unbound, and its icy dome bro ken up Wflli tremendous rupture. The enormous field, of ice thus set.RtiMt, are, by t e ® f winds and currents, again dtssevered Ml* “"ft* ed. Sometimes, impelled in opposite dipctwn , they approach, and strike with a mutual shock,, hit/the-crush of worlds, rudiment, it o l’l’ o ’’ ’ * ; reduce to atoms, in a moment, the P ro | l<ies, m . | uments of human power. . It is , ™P<>“*b | e to pm ! ture a situation more awful than th-t of the p ! crew of a wlmlcr, who see their frail bark thus fa j tally enclosed, expecting immediate and u ewta ble destruction. [Edm.
