Lino by a Young Lady bom blind.
If tbii delicious, grateful flower,
Which blew* but for a little hour,
Should to the tight to lovely be,
At from its fragrance seems to me,
A sigh must then it* colour show.
For that's the softest joy 1 know ;
And sure the rose is like a sigh,
Born just to soothe, and then—to die.
My father. When our fortune smil'd,
With jewels deck'd his eyeless child;
Their glittering worth the world might tee,
But, ah ! they had no charms for me;
A trickling tear bedew'd my arm—
I felt it and my heart was warm;
And sore the gem to me most dear,
Was a kind l'ather’a pitying tear !
From the Kcu Hampshire Patriot.
I love the memory of that hour,
When first in youth 1 found thee—
And infant beauty gently threw
A morning freshness round thee.
A single star wrs rising then,
“With mild and lovely motion,
And not the zephyr's gentlest breath
Went o’er the sleeping ocean.
I love the memory of the hour—
ft wakes a pensive feeling, *
Ami when within the winding shell,
The playful winds are stealing,
It tells me of mj earlier days,
Ere hope went down in sorrow,
And all the joys of yesterday
Were painted on to-uiosrow.
Where art thou now ? The bending grass
A dewy stone discloses,
And love’s young footsteps paint the ground
Where all my peace reposes :
But where art thou? thy funeral flowers
Their yellow leaves are twinhig,
Yet still upon the peaceful wave
That-single starts shining.
AFFECTING TALE.
The following statement is extracted from the
Nashville Gazette, not as a tale originating in a
poetical fancy, and embellished by the touches
of a wild, wanton intellect, but as a relation of
incidents which have actually occurred, and
Which therefore possess a more powerful claim
on our attention and sympathy. The Gazette
elates that the names are known, but from a
wish to prevent any painful reflections to some
that perhaps knew the parties, they are con
cealed.
Jane was tbe only daughter of a
man who in the early part of hts life emi
grated to tbe United Slates from the North 1
of Ireland. Acrustoined to a life of indus
try, by application to his business, and sut
fcring from poverty in his youth, he r p
garded money as the only object worth •- 1
reasonable man's attention. By his dili
gence, he had amassed a considerable for
tune, which it was known in the country his
daughter would inherit. It is now more
than forty years since I saw her. She wa
then in the bloom of youih—hope and ex- !
pectation gave her a more interesting ap 1
pearaoce than 1 have ever yet witnessed.
She was about eighteen ; possessing nato
ral good sense, and accomplishments that
rendered her the pride and admiration of 1
her friends. Many were the suitors for
her hand, but she refused them with such
a grace and respect fsr their feelings, that
they loved her tbe more. Among her ad
mirers , there was a young man, a native of
Massachusetts, respectable for bis talents
and genius. He was a member of the bar.
and though young, maintained a respecta
ble standing among his brethren. He was
loved by oil c! B *es for his gentleman like
deportment, aud nature bad given him a
striking and interesting appearance. Bn.
as yet Le was poor, and he owed to fortune
nothing. Chance threw him in the compa
ny of Jane—an intimacy was formed, and
be frequently visited her father’s house,
where he received not only that attention
and marked politeness which be deserved
by his standing in society, but also expert
onced lhat open hearted cordiality which
marks the character of Irishmen.
There is a 6ecret attachment formed be
tween congenial minds, of which even the
persons themselves are not aware, and of
ten they are surprised at thf bold they
have got of each other’s affections. This
was the case with these two young persons.
It was not until these circumstances touk
place, that either of them ever suspected
that they loved each other. Among the
eoiters fur the hand of Jane, was a man ot
about 40 years of age, a widower ; who was
devoid of every principle that makes man
Duble, and whose riches were bis only sup
port in society. It is but justice to remark,
that his private character was unknown to
the father of Jane. He solicited a permit
gion to wait oo Jane, and received it with
hcvrty wishes from the father for bis suc
cess. He there met Mr. H. and his sagaci
tv soon discovered that which, though un
known to themselves, would prevent him
from obtaining the object of his wishes.—
Fearful of meeting his rival openly, he took
every occasion of injuring the growing rep
utation of Mr. H. both as a man and a law
yer, and he too well succeeded. His in
fluence in society was great, and people
could not disbelieve bis insinuations—it was
not possible, uaiJ they, that e<ver tbe dark
hints of tbe rich Mr. T. could be without
foundation—no, there must be something
in them. As was to be expected, bis little
practice declined every day, and the cold
looks of the people were to his noble spir
it worse than the ‘oss of life. He deter
mined on leaving the country, and waited
on Jane for the purpose of taking leave of
ber, but, unfortunately for both, notwith
standing all his prudence and determina
tions, he revealed his attachment, and they
parted with assurances of mutual love and
fidelity.
After (he departure of Mr. H. the rich
Mr. T. pressed his suit, and from some ex
pressions of his, together with hints of bis
conduct to her lover, she was induced to
believe that the misfortune and disappoint
ment of both might be attributed to his con
duct. She refused him with contempt.—
He waited on her father, exposed to him
the stale of his property, and offered to set
tle a large estate upon her, could the latter
prevail on Jane to become the wife of the
former. The father, daxzled with the of
fer, promised to use bis influence, and if
that was not sufficient, bis authority. He
did both—but they were as yet useless.—
Mr. T. finding all his schemes prove abor
tive, and knowing well the cause of his fail
ure, raised a report that Mr. H. died of a
fever at —, to which place he had re
moved. This report was carefully convey
ed to the ears of Jane, ami which was far
ther confirmed by the silence of her lover.
She believed it—and to pacify, or rather
gratify her father, she became mierabh
by being the wife of Mr. T. From that
hour she never knew peace. In following
improperly the opinions of her father, and
forgetting what was due to herself, her I'u
lure life become wretched, and io perform
ing what she conceived to be a duty she
owed her.father, she neglected that prior
oae, her own happiness.
Some short time after her marriage, H.
returned from where he had settled him
self, and where he had gained a degree o!
eminence worthy of him—He came to
claim her as his bride ; but she was no*
another's—not her heart, but her person.
She saw him once, and but for a few min
utes, when all wa9 explained. He loved
Jane too well to demand an explanation of
her despicable husband, well aware what
would be the consequences of such a pro
ceeding. He returned to the place of his
abode unhappy. From that time Jane
declined fast. A slow consuming grief
seized fast bold of her—her husband
became a gambler, and lost bis only support
in society—and Jane died in giving birth to
a son, whom hi* grandfather took home
Too bite he found that it was not money
that could have made his daughter happy,
and soon after he followed her to the grave.
The unfortunate child, neglected by his fa
ther, and deprived by death of his protec
tor, was an outcast upon the world, until
Mr. H. took him home as his adopted child.
Years have now rolled away since then,and
he enjoys a comparative degree of peace :
yet he looks forward with anxiety to that
state of existence where the troubles of
his life are lost in undisturbed felicity—
where men can be happy without gold, and
where the envenomed tongue of detraction
can never be heard.
Funishment of Ingratitude.
A French writer relates the following
remarkable instance of the punishment of
ingratitude in children —An eminent trader
at Lyons, who had acquired an easy for
mne, had two handsome, daughters,between
a horn, on their marriage, he divided ail his
property, on condition that be should pass
the summer with one and the winter with
the other. Before the end of the first year
he found sufficient ground to conclude lhat
he was not a very acceptable gnest to ei
ther ; of which, howpver. he took no no
tice, but hirpd a handsome lodging in which
be resided a few weeks. He then applied
to a friend, and told him the truth of the
matter, desiring the gift of two hundred li
vres, and the loan of fifty thousand in ready
money for a few hours ; his friend very
readily complied with his request; and the
next day tbe old gentleman made a splen
did entertainment to which his daughters
and their husbands were invited. Just as
dinner was over, his fiiendcatne in agreat
burry, told him of an unexpected demand
upon him, and desired to know wether he
could lend him fifty thousand livres. The
old man told him without any emotion that
twice as much was at his service, if he
wanted it; and going into the next room,
brought him the money. After this he was
nq£ suffered to stay any longer in lodgings;
his daughters were jealous, n he remained
a day more in one house than the other,
and after three or four years spent with
them, he died; when upon ‘examining his
cabinet, instead of the livres, there was
tound a note containing these words:—
“He who has suffered by bis virtues, has a
right to avad hioiself of the vices of those
by whom be has been injured; and a fath
er ought never to be so fond of his children
as to forget what is due to himself.”
AMERICAN NOVELIST.
The author of “Precaution,” the “Spy,”
and “ The Pioneers,” has already gained a
celebrity io bis department of literature,
both in Europe and in his own country; far
mope imposing than has beeo conceded to
noy of his countrymen before hitn. His
first work was read with interest in Eng
land, and is mentioned with high commen
dations in some of her reviews. His sec
ond has been universally applauded, and is
already perused in different languages.
“The PioDeers,”whith is the last published,
(for another is already announced) was ex
pected with so much anxiety in New-York,
that three thousand five hundred copies
were sold on tbe morning of its publica
tion. He seems to be running the career
of the author of Waverley, and perhaps will
fall into the same error, viz: (hat of crowd
ing his works upon the public till they be
gin to pall upon the appetite by their
frequency—and till they seem to betray
tokens ot haste and negligence, which shows
the author too secure of public approba
tion.
The author of these works is James
Cooper. His father, William Cooper, was
formerly first or presiding judge of Otsego
county, New-York, nod h member of Con
gress as long ago as 1796. William Cooper
was among the earliest settlers of that part
of the state, and was the founder of a town.
Called after him Caoperslown. It is a bean* ’
tifu) village, situated at the south end of,
Lake Otsego, whose outlet, at that place,
forms one of the head branches of the Su
quehannah. The lake is nine miles in
length, and from one to two and a half in
breadth, surrounded by high and abrupt
hilla, and form*, with the adjacent scenery,
one of the most mmantiek pictures in the
world. It is ktrt the scene of “ The Pio
neers” is laid.
James Cooper cannot be fir from thirty
five years of age. He was formerly an
officer of the U. S. Navy. His present re
sidence is in West Chester county, near the
city of New York. Possessed of a haud
some patrimony, he seems to have turned
hi* attention to literary pursuits, and bids
fair o be the first on this side of the At
tantick to receive any adequate pecuniary
compensation for such exertions.
ETYMOLOGY.
Evrry body th:,t sees the name of the late
Post-master Gem-rul, exclaims,
Phoebus ! vhat a name,
To Jill the speaking trump of future fame!
This singular Christian name, we can assure
them, had the following original. The grand-fa
*her of the Post-master General was a sober, pi
ous Yankee, and his name was Jonathan Meigs.
He had set his afiTections on a fair damsel in his i
neighbourhood, and, after a tedious length ok
years spent in courtship, he plucked up courage !
to ask to rto be his bride. The damsel was fear- i
ful of seeming too bold, if she consented at once, i
and thought it best to play the coquette a little, ‘
and gave him a prompt denial. Jonathan thought j
her in earnest, and did not dare to repeat his re- j
quest. Me departed, overwhelmed with discon- j
tent and despondency. Surprised at such simpli
city, and perhap* actuated by some other motive
which may be left to the conjecture of the ladies,
the icy heart of the damsel inelted ; she went to
the door, and, perceiving that her wretched lover
was still lingering about her habitation in fond de
lay she exclaimed, Return, Jonathan !”
Swift and true as the arr nvtoits mark, Jonathan
did return He married ffie lovely coquette, and
in proper time, in grateful commemoration of the
happy termination of the courtship, Jonathau
carried his first born son to the baptismal font,
and gave, it for a name those blessed words which
had called him front despair to unspeakable joy
The commendable desire which most fathers feel
to perpetuate their names, may be supposed to
have had some influence in the selection of one
for the late Post-master General; and, unless
fame i? a very liar the venerable ancestor above
mentioned has witnessed the appropriation of this
roinahtick Christian name to his descendants of j
the third or fourth generation.

BATTLE OF BENNINGTON.
The Story of an Old Soldier who mat in the
•Action.
This was a proud day, said he, for tbe poor
Green Mountain Boys, who were yet sore with
the wounds they had so lately received in the re
treat from Ticonderoga. They could not so soon
forget the slaughter of their brethren, of Col.
Warner’s regiment, who were almost all cut off
at Hubbardstown. The word came, “ The ene
my’s cpmiag”—the alarm flew like wild-fire
every man left his plough and axe, some even
standing in tbe field, and determined to “ fight a
spell”—some with officers and tome without
none were anxious who should be commanded or
command ; tbe main object was to find a good
position, take sure aim, fire away and load again.
Here he proceeded to describe the order of
battle, &c. but the most striking part was con
cerning a Colonel, who was ordered by General
Stark to re-enforce with his regiment a ‘ pmrt of
one of the wings that had sustained a considera
ble part of the action, and suffered much. The
Cos), marched at the instant, but with a certain
step peculiar to himself, slow, firm and steady.
The whole parish was in his regiment, and they
bad brought witli them their much loved parson,
without whose blessing they could scarcely think
themselves in a way to prosper. The officer com
manding tbe corps to be relieved, fearing every
instant that his men from fatigue and loss would
give way, sent to hasten the Colonel. “ Tell’em,
said he, we’re coming; and kept his pace steadi
ly on. This gentleman was at home a deacon—
wore an old-fashioned long waistcoated coat with
large pocket flaps and herring-boned cuffs, and a
three-cocked hat, the fore part something resem
bling the haudle of a pipkin, except that the ex
treme point of it might have endangered the eye
of had he run unguardedly against it.
A second express arrived:— k ‘ Colonel! for God’s
sake hurry, my men are beginning to fall back;”
“ that will make room for us—tell ’em we are
coming”—keeping bis still unaltered pace, and
phiz quite placid and unconcerned. A third
message was treated just as coolly ; when they
emerged from behind a coppice in full view of the
enemy, and several balls passed over them;
“ Halt,” said the Colonel, “ form column, and let
us attend prayert.” The chaplain was called,
and ordered with all due formality to attend
to his duty ; but during the solemnity an unlucky
shot wounded one of the men The Colonel
now, fur the first time, began to show some impa
tience, for no sooner had the parson pronounced
Amen, than the men were ordered to march.
But still the Colonel kept his steady measured
pace, until he had taken the ground in front of
the poor fellows who were almost ready to leave
the field, and but for the love of liberty, could
not have kept it half so long. “Give it to’em
[said the colonel} give it to ’em, ‘as he stepped
along the ranks, with the same unaltered pace
and phiz, chewing his quid, which he now and
then replaced, obliging those who stood next
him with his box. “ The Hessians are in front,”
said he—“our wives and children in tbe rear.
Liberty’s the prize—we fight for Liberty.” This
was enough; the more verbose eloquence of a!
Homan general himself could have done no more. 1
The enemy pressed, but pressed on only to 1
their own destruction. We fought, we bled, we
conquered ; and the narrrator said he did not
doubt but tbe cool, determined bravery of these ‘
few raw militia, had a principal share in deciding ■
the fate of the day.— Boston paper.

tyrauuy and oppression, on the morning of the
ever memorable nineteenth of April, Anno Dom
ini 1775.
THE DIE WAS CAST ! ! !
The blood of these martyrs in the cause of God
and their Country, was the cement of tbe Union
of these States, than Colonies, and gave the

their fellow citizens. They rose as one uian to J
’ revenge their brother's blood, and at the point of
tbe sword to assert and defend their natural right*.
—They nobly dared to be free. The contest was
long and bloody. Righteous Heaven approved
the solemn appeal—victory crowned tbeir arms ;
and the pence, liberty and independence of the
U. States of America, was their glorious reward.
FREEMASONRY.
Capt. Harris, lute of the brig Reuben and Eli
sa, captured by the pirates on the southern side
of Cuba, has furnished the editors of tbe N. Y.
Mercantile Advertiser with a narrative of the out
rages of these wretcAed men ; and a note is ad
ded, stating that ‘• he was indebted for his life to
the circumstance of his being a freemason , hav
ing met with several mesons among the pirates,
who interceded for him.” It is strange that free
masons should be found among pirates ; but how
much more strange is it, that men who have
abandoned the laws of God and nations, who
shrink not at murder itself, when convenient or
thought neuessaiy, should respect the bonds of
freemasonry, and succor a brother in distress !
