PO|TRY. ■’ —f From tWN. Y. Com. Adtertwer. TO YEAR. v Thou desolate aftd dying year! Emblem of transitory mao, Whose wearisome and wild career, Like thine, is bounded to a span; It seams hot as a little da; Since nature smil'd upon thy birth. And Spring came forth in fair array, To dance upon the joyous earth. Sad alteration—now how lone— How rerdureless is nature’s breast, Where ruin makes his empire known, In Autfunn’s yellow vesture drest; The sprightly bird whose carol sweet Broke on the breath of early day— The Summer flowers sfee loved to greet — The bird—the flowers—Oh, where are'they ? Thou desolate and dying year ! Yet lovely in thy lifelessness, As beauty stretch’d upon the bier In death's clay-cold and dark caress ; There’s loveliness in thy decay, Which breathes, which lingers round thee still, Like memory’s mild and cheering ray Beaming upon the night of ill. Yet—yet, the radiance is not gone Which shed a richness o’er the scene, Which smil’d upon the golden dawn When skies were brilliant and serene— O still a melancholy smile Gleams upon nature's aspect fair, To charm the eye a little while Ere ruin spreads bis mantle there! Thou desolate and dying year ! Since Time entwin’d thy vernal wreath, How often Love hath shed the tear And knelt beside the bed of death : How many hearts that lightly sprung When Joy was blooming but to die, Their finest chords by death unstrung, Have yielded life’s expiring sigh, And pillow’d low beneath the clay. Have ceas’d to melt, to breathe, to burn— The proud—the gentle, and the gay Gather’d unto the mouldering urn— Whilst freshly flowed the frequent tear For love bereft—affection fled— For all that were our blessings here, The lov’d—the lost—the sainted dead I Thou desolate and dying year ! The musing spirit finds in thee Lessons impressive and severe, Os deep and stern morality— Thou teachest how the germ of youth Which blooms in being’s dawuing day, Planted by nature—rear’d by truth— Withers like thee in dark decay. Promise of yonth ! fair as the form Os heaven’s benign and golden bow, Thy smiling arch begirds the storm, And sheds a light on every Woe ; ! Hope wakes for thee, and to her tongue, j ‘ A tone of melody is given, As if her magick voice were strung With the empyrean fire of heaven. And Love—which never can expire, Whose origin is from on high, Throws o’er thy morn a ray of fits From the pure fountains of the sky ; That ray which glows and hr.ghtens still Unchang'd, eternal and dirjne ; Where seraphs own its M£y thrill, And bow before its gleaming shrine. Thou desolate aud/lyingyear 1 Prophetick of out final fall, Thy buds are gt>ne—thy leaves are sear, Thy beauties shrouded in the pall ; And ail thy garniture that shed A brilliancy upon thy prime, Hath, a mo ming vision, fled Unto the expanded grave of Time. 7/uae ! time ! In thy triumphal flight /How all life’s phantom’s fleet away— The smile of hope, and young delight, Fame’s meteor beam, and fancy’s ray, They fade—and on thy heaving tide r Rolling its stormy waves afar, Are borne the wrecks of human pride v The broken wrecks of fortune's war. Therein disorder,dark and wild Are seen the fabricks once so high, Which mortal vanity had piled As emblems of Eternity ! And deem’d the stately piles whose forms Frown’d in their majesty sublime, Would stand unshaken by the storms That gather’d round* the brow of Time 1 * # * * Oh ! thus hath life its even-tide Os sorrow—loneliness—and grief— And thur divested of its pride It withers like the yellow leaf: Oh; such is life’s autumnal bower When plunder’d of its summer bloom— And such is life’s autumnal hour Which heralds man unto and tomb. FLORIO. Poughkeepsie , Nov. J 9, 1821. MISCELLANY. PENITENTIARY SYSTEM. ‘"[Extracts from tbe North American Review.] The remedy for the evils of tbe present [Penitentiary] system most frequently sug gested, and most strongly confided in by i some persons, is, to Testore the good old I system of Hogging, branding, pillorying, gibbettiag, &c. Sic. Now, without admit ting, for a moment, the possibility of such a return to ancient barbarism, such a retro grade step from civilization, let us examine; la little into the operation of sues p<w meats,and aee whether in point of utility as todiaioishlng the amount of crime, they will bear a comparison with the modern system oflabour and seclusion,imperfect as these latter may be. By the old code, n convict, for a small crime, was punished with imprisonment and whipping. As to imprisonment, which, under that system kept the prisoners rotting in idleness, we presume that it will be admitted by every one,that whilst the prisoner is incarcerated, . it is better that he should be kept at hard labour ; the old method of simple impris onment, which formed a part of the sen tence of every criminal, we shall therefore ‘consider as abandoned even by the most strenuous advocates of the old laws, and we shall only speak of the personal inflictions. To commence with whipping—not to dwell on its inconsistency under a free govern ment, what is the effect on the criminal who has committed some offence for which he is sentenced to hard labour for two years ? In former times he would have been im prisoned a shorter period, and receive 50 lashes. After being openly exhibited as a spectacle of the lowest infamy, with a smarting back and famished belly, he is turned loose, to do what ?—to find employ ment ?—who will give it to him ?—No, smarting with infamy, and shunned by ev ery one, he must commence bis depreda tions, with increased brutality of feeling. If he should be confiued at hard labour for 2 years, he will at least have been kept from” mischief during that time ; he may, as some have done, see the folly of his course, and coming out with less notoriety of infamy, he stands a better chance to procure some employment, if he has a disposition-to be honest. But in this case of corporal inflic tion, we have only taken the first stage which presents the least difficulty. The convict who has received fifty stripes for a first offence, commits a second ; there must be some gradation in the sentence; fifty lashes were not sufficient, he must take a hundred. But his chance for employment is no better ; he must live ; he is brought forward a third time—there must be some 1 proportion in the punishment, he is senten ced to five hundred lashes—but this be comes torture, and it is in vain to propose it; no legislature in this country would Ii- 1 ten to it for a moment. Now by the pres- j ent system, the same criminal for his second offence might have been sent, (at least in > Massachusetts,) to the state prison for ten ! years ;if he survived this, and became guil < tv a third time, he would be sent there for 1 life, be made to labour for his subsistence, f the publiclt would be safe from his depre- j dations, without having his back or their t feelings lacerated by the infliction of t o'. < ture. t One striking advantage to publick 1 by the labour plan of punishment, and < : which seems hardly appreciated, is, that 1 the culprit being hut ‘up for a length of < time, at least during that time, the publick ‘ are protected from his depredations. Sup- * posior even, that he could be made to earn 1 no’iimg during his confinement, it would be < r. saving to the community. If a neigh- ’ bourhood were infested by a wolf that kept them in continual alarm, and whose indis- , criminate ravages might do them the great- i est mischief, would not the inhabitants pre- i fer feeding him with even merino sheep, if J he could be shut up, rather than run the ‘ risk and feel the anxiety of bis midnight j prowling ? ; To return to the other inflictions that ac- f company the whipping system, the pillory, ‘ the branding irons, &c. these must be resor- 1 ted to where whipping alone is not enough; ] but we think it useless to discuss these por- i tions of exploded barbarity, which a virtu- l ous and humnue people will never again 1 suffer to be exhibited among them, and • shall offer only one femark on the cruelty and stupidity of the practice of branding, a genuine relick of the dark and ferocious ages. We ask what can be more cruel an<l stupid than this punishment, if the criminal is ever to be set at liberty, and what more superfluous, if he is not ? A wretch is dis charged with an indelible “mark, to warn every human being against him, to inspire horrour at his first aspect, and to condemn him inevitably to become a desperate out law. The only excusable pretext for it would be, when applied to atrocious crimin als condemned for life, so that they might be known every where if they made their escape; but this purpose may be effected in other ways without resorting to this bru tal expedient. There are some persons who thick that the meliorated code does not inspire suffi cient terror, and that there would be few er crimes if there were more executions. Nothing can be more mistaken than this opinion, and no one position in relation to this subject more capable of being proved by facts, than t)iat crimes have heen most abundant in those countries where sanguin ary inflictions have been most frequent; that violent crimes have decreased in pro portion, as capital punishments have been diminished; and that so far, as the fear of punishment can operate to prevent the commission of offences, it is the certainty and not the severity that produces the ef fect. It is also absurd to talk of multiply ing executions, in the present state of pub- I lick feeling ; it is useless to recommend hanging criminals for theft or forgery, when the repugnance to capital punishment is so deep and universal, that even in a clear case of is always some solicitude lest a jury should not have firm ness enough to bring in a verdict of guilty. ! The feeling against the punishment of death I* 3 very strong, and the class of persons who I hold that human tribunals have no right to | take away the life of a man in any case, whether they be wrong or right in their opinion is certainly increasing. Reflecting minds will not fail to perceive, that this sentiment against, all violent and bratal chastisements, and all execu wttf a much wider scope than the mere consideration, shout a few guilty wretches who have perpetrated atrocious crimes. Those who ire opposed to taking sway life in any case, assert that perpetual incarceration, with all privations that may be made to accompary it, is the most se vere of all punishments, and far more dreadful than any tint can be directed against life and limb:—that violent puni tions were the invention ot barbarous ages, and were ca!culated:o perpetuate the spirit they harmonized with: —that a thorough feeling of religious humility, and a proper reverence for Almighty providence, for bids the destruction of what he alone could rreate; —that the exhibition of every act of violence engenders harsh and ferocious feelings, and when this is exhibited under the formality and sanction of the laws, its influence is more deleterious, than even the sudden effects of private passiop ; that the infliction of stripes, torture and death, even or the most odious criminals, has a direct tendency to degrade human na ture that the abolition of capital punish ments is of far other importance, than the life of a miserable convict which may be almost wholly worthless; that in getting rid of all these acts of legal vengeance which cut off criminals in a violent manner, you raise the value of human life; and the ultimate tendency of the system is, to dis courage war and all the forms of violence, by which human life is considered as insig nificant, and to be wasted with impunity. These persons contend, that the whole spirit and the ultimate eod of Christianity is to banish all deeds of violence; and that the laws are contradictory to it, and infec ted with arcient barbarism, until their ex ample, which has the most commanding in fluence, shall consider the life of the mean est and most guilty human being, as sacred, and its-destruction under any circumstances, as unjustifiable. Whatever extravagance there may be in these opinions, there can be no doubt, that their adherents are increasing in this country ; and that a disposition to do away all public displays of corporal inflictions, and to lessen the number of capital punish ments, is gaining ground in all countries where any principles of liberty, or any ex ercise of publick opinion have an influence on the administration of civil government. The existence of this disposition is shewn in a variety of ways, and where the laws are not modified to meet it, a spirit will be engendered to counteract them. It is one of the highest qualifications in a legislator to be abla to perceive and to guide the feel ing of his age ; and if his views fall behind it- he will be no more than a mere attorney or scrivener, compiling new regulations on the basis of superannuated precedents, and all his laboured enactments will be practi cally evaded. If the publick think any punishment too severe, juries will refuse to convict the criminal; and many offenders will escape from being prosecuted at all, or from being convicted if they are, when the penalties are more severe than the feelings of society require or will endure. * “ A cruel criminal code is the parent of pu sillanimity. A nation broken to cruel punish ments becomes dastardly aud contemptible. For in nations, as well as individuals, cruelty is al ways attended by cowardice. It is the parent of slavery, tn every government we find the genius of freedom depressed in proportion to the san guinary spirit of the laws. It is hostile to the prosperity of nations as well as to the dignity and virtue of men. The laws which Draco framed for Athens are said emphatically to have been written in blood. What did they produce? Ar aggravation of those very calamities which they were intended to remove. A scene of the great est and most complicated distress was according ly exhibited by the miserable Athenians, till they found relief in the wisdom and moderation of So lon.” Wilson's charge at a Circuit Court in Maryland , 1791. SINGULAR STRATAGEM. Freni Sully'a Memoirs. The manner in which Fescamp [a garrison in France taken in the year 1593] was surprised is so remarkable that it well deserves a particular recital here. When this fort was taken by Birori from the league, there was in the garrison that was turned out of it, a gentleman called Bois-rose, a man of sense and courage, and remarkable for uncommon strength of body, who making an ex act observation of the fiVce he left, and having concerted his scheme, contrived to get two sol diers whom he had bound to his interest, to be received into the new garrison which was put into Fescamp by the royalists. That side of the fort next the sea is a perpendicular rock, about six hundred feet high, the bottom of which, for about the height of twelve feet, is continually washed by the sea, except four or five days in the ygar, during the utmost recess of the sea, when for the space of three or four hours, it leaves 15 or 20 fathoms of dry sand at the foot of the rock. Bois-rose, who found it impossible by any other J way to surprise a garrison, who guarded with , great care a place lately taken, did not doubt of accomplishing his design, if he could enter by that l side which was thought inaccessible ; this he en-1 deavoured to perform by the following contri vance. He had agreed dpon a signal with the two sol- 1 diers whom he had gained over, and one of them ; waited for it continually upon the top of the rock where he posted himself during the whole time that it was low water. Bois-rose, taking the op portunity of a very dark night, came, with fifty resolute men, chosen from amongst the sailors, in two large boats, to the foot of the rock. He had provided himself with a thick cable, equal in length to the height of the rock, and tying knots at equal distances, run short sticks through, to serve to support the men as they climbed. The soldier whom he had gained, having waited six months for the signal, no sooner perceived it, ■ than he let down a cord from the top of the prcci- j pice, to which those below fastened the cable j | by which means it was drawn up to the top, and j secured in. an opening ill the battlement with a! strong iron crow run through a staple made for j that purpose. Bois-rose giving the lead to two! sergeants, whose courage he was well convinced of, ordered the fifty men to mount the ladder in the same manner, one after another, with their weapons tied round their bodies, himself bringing up the rear, to take away all hope of returning; which indeed soon became impossible, for before they had ascended half way, the tea rising more than six feet, carried off their'boats, and set their cable The impossibility of withdrawing from a difficult enterprise, is not always a security against fear, when the danger appears almost in evitatye. If flje m.ind repretents to itself Jhese fifty men, suspended between heaven and earth, in the midst of darkness, trusting their safety ton machine so insecure, that the least want of enu tion, (lie treachery of a mercenary soldier, or the slightest fear might precipitate them into theliby ss of the sea, or dash them against the rocks ; add to this, the noise of the waves, the height of the rock, their weariness and exhausted spirits, it will not appear surprising, that the boldest among them trembled, as in effect be who was toremost did. Tliis sergeant telling the next man that Ids heart failed him, Bois-rose, to whom this discourse passed from mouth to mouth, uud who perceived the truth f it by their advancing 1 no higher, crept over the bodies of those thrit were I before him, advising each to keep firm, and got • up to the foremost, whose spirits he at first en- I deavonred to animate ; but finding that gentle ness would not prevail, he obliged him to mount, by pricking him in the back with his poniard : and doubtless it he had not obeyed him, he would have precipitated him into the sea. At length, ! with incredible labour and fatigue, the whole | troop got to the top of the rock, a little before 5 ’ the break of day, and were introduced by the two i i soldiers into the castle, where they began to I slaughter without mercy the centinels and the ! guard ; sleep delivered up nearly the whole gar ’ rison an easy prey to the enemy, who kill-.d all I j that resisted, and thus possessed themselves of the fort. Natural production of Washington's Likeness. A letter has been published in the Franklin Ga zette, from James Allen, Esq. dated at Harper’s Ferry, (Va.) giving an account of an excellent profile of the illustrious Washington, formed in j the stupendous rocks which overhang the l’oto mack, situated high up the promontory on the Maryland side of the river, looking northward. I Such, adds the writer, was tlies worth of the man, that nature, proud of iter choicest productions of excellence, has caused even rocks to identify his visage, that succeeding generations may venerate and hold him in grateful remembrance. Lctndost, Oct. 19. The British Empire. —We inserted a para- 1 graph yesttrday, estimating the population of the British Empire (including under that name its col onies and possessions in America, the West Indies, - the East Indies, on the coast of Africa, &c.) at 95,220,000 souls. The Russian, .the next highest in the scale of civilized nations, contains 50,000, 000 ; France, about 00,000,000; uud Austria an j equal number. The Roman Empire, in all its glory, contained 120,000,000, one half of whom were slaves. When we compare its situation with that of the British Empire, in wealth, resour ces, and industry, the arts, sciences, commerce, and agriculture, the preponderance of the latter in the scale of nations and empires, is great and most remarkable. The tonnage employed in the merchant service is about 2,640,000 tons for Great Britain ; the exports, £51,000,000 (inclu ding £l 1,000,000 foreign and colonial) : and im ports £36,000,000. The navy during the last war consisted of one thousand ships of war ; the seamen at present in the merchant service are about 174,000 ; the gross revenue of the state £57,000,000. The capital of the Empire con tains 1,200,000 persons, the same number which Rome contained in the days of her greatest strength. The value of fixecHor landed property in Great Britain, as calculated by. Mr. Pitt, in 1797, was £1,600,000,000; and it may now be fairly taken at £2,000,000,000. The cotton manufactures of the country are immense, and reach, in the exports, to 20,000,000, nearly one half of the whole. In short, taking every thing into consideration, the British Empire, in power and strength, may be stated as the greatest that ever existed on earth, as it far surpasses them all, in knowledge, moral character and worth. On her dominions the sun never sets ; before his ev ening rays leave the spires of Quebeck, his morn ing beams have shone three hours on Port Jack son, and while sinking from the waters of Lake Superiour, his eye opens upon those of the Gan ges. The royal squadron, in its recent visit to the French coast, had reached mid-channel, when his majesty, who was alternately viewing Dover and Calais, by-nn unceremonious twist of the an cle, most ungraciously took measure .of his ma jestick peison on the deck. This created a mo mentary bustle around him, aud to the anxious in quiries for the cause, a sailor who was perched in the mizen top, replied, “ His Majesty has just found himself half seas, over.” A shopkeeper at Doncaster had fbr hi3 virtues obtained the name of the little rascal. A stranger asked him why this appellation had been given him? “To distinguish me from the test of my trade,!’ qnolh he, “ who are all great rascals.” [Hull Packet. BOARDING.
