THE MISSIONARY’S BURIAL.
By James Montgomery, Esq.
The body of the Missionary, John Smith, who
died Feb. 6, 1824, in prison, under sentence of
death by a Court Martial at Demerara, was or
dered to be secretly buried in the night, and no
person. not even his widow, was allowed to fol
low the corpse. Mrs. Smith, and her friend Mrs.
Elliott, accompanied by a free negro, carrying a
lantern, repaired beforehand to the spot where a
grave had been dug, and there awaited the inter
ment, which took place accordingly. His Maj
esty’s pardon, annulling the unjust condemna
tion, (facts subsequently known having proved
his inuocence) is aid to have arrived on the day
of the unfortunate Missionary’s decease, from the
rigours of a close confinement in a tropical cli
mate, and under the slow pains of an inveterate
malady previously afflicting him.
Comedown in thy profoundestgloom,
Without one vagrant fire-fly’s light,
Beneath thine ebon arch entomb
Earth, from the gaze of Heaven, O Night!
A deed of darkness must be done,
Put out Q,e moon, hold back the sun.
Are these the criminals that flee
Like deeper shadows through the shade ?
A flickering lamp from tree to tree,
Betrays their path along the glade,
Led by a negro—now they stand,
Two trembling women, hand in hand.
A grave, an open grave appears,
O’er this in agony they bend,
Wet the fresh turf with bitter tears,
Sighs following.sighs their bosoms rend.
These are not murderers—these have known
Grief more bereaving than their own.
Oft through the gloom their streaming eyes
Look forth for what they fear to meet ;
It comes—they catch a glimpse—it ties ;
Quick-glancing lights, slow trampling feet,
Amidst the crane-crops, seen, heard, gone,
Return, and in dead march move on.
A stern procession ! —gleaming arms,
And spectral countenances dart,
By the red torch-flame, wild alarms,
And withering pangs through either heart.
A corpse amidst the group is borne,
A prisoner’s corpse, who died last morn.
Not by the slave-lord’s justice slain,
That doom’d him to a traitor’s death ;
While royal mercy ped in vain
O’er land and sea to spare his breath.
But the frail life that warm’d this clay,
Man could not give or take away.
His vengeance and his grace, alike,
Were impotent to save or kill ;
—He may not lift his sword, or strike,
Nor turn its edge aside, at will:
Here by one sovereign act and deed,
God canceli’d all that man decreed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
That corpse i- to the dust consign’d ;
The scene departs ; —this buried trust,
The Judge of quick and dead shall find,
When things that Time and Death have seal’d,
Shall be lu flaming fire reveal’d. *
The fire shall try thee then like gold,
Prisoner of hope! \ wait the test,
And O, when truth alone is told,
Be thy clear innocence confest!
The fire shall try thy foes—may they
Find mercy in that dreadful day.

NATURAL HISTORY.
African Lions. —The fir.t number of the
South African Journal, published at the
Cape of Good Hope, contains otne very
interesting details respecting the lions of
that country. Tite writer says, that be
yond the liir.i's of the colony, thpy are ac
counted peculiarly dangerous, and he think-’
Sir. Barrow’s representations, that they are
cowardly and treacherous, is a conclusion
drawn from limited experience or inaccu
rate information. “ The prodigious strength
of this animal (he observes) does not ap
ppar to have been overrated. It is certain
that he can drag the heaviest ox with ease,
a considerable way ; and a horse, heifer,
harlebeest, or lesser prey, hp finds no diffi
cnlty in throwing over his shoulder and
carrying uIT to any distance he may find
convenient. I have myself witnessed an
tn-tance of a very young lion conveying a
I.orse about a mile from the spot where he
had killed it ; and a more extraordinary
case has been mentioned to me on good au
thority, where a lion, having carried off a
heifer of two years old, was followed on
the track for five hours, about 30 English
miles, by a party on horseback ; £ through
out the whole distance the carcase of the
heifer was discovered only once or twice
to have touched the ground. The Bechuano
chief,vld Peyshow,conversing with me a few
days ago. said that the lion very seldom at
tacks man if unprovoked ; but he will fre
quently approach within a few paces, and
sn \ey him steadily; and sometimes he will
attempt to get behind him, as if he could
not stand his look, hut was yet desirous of
springing upon him unawares. If a person
;n such circumstances attempts either to
fight or fly, he incurs tha most eminent per
il ; hut it he ha sufficient presence of mind
coolly to confront him, without appearance
of either terror or aggression, the animal
will, in almost evpry instance, after a little
space, retire. The over-mastering effect
ol the human eye upon the lion has been
frequently mentioned, thongh much doubt
ed by travellers ; but from my own inqui
ries among lion hunters, I am perfectly sat
isfied of Ibe fact ; and an anecdote related
to me a fe w days ago proves that this fas
cinating effect is not restricted to the lion.
An officer in India, known to my informant,
(who i Maj. Mclntosh) having chanced to
ramble into a jungle, suddenly encountered
a royal tyger. The rencontre appeared
equally unexpected on both tides, and both!
parties made a dead halt, earnestly gazing
on each other. The gentleman had no,
fire arms, and was aware that a sword
would be no effective defence in a struggle
for life with such an antagonist. But he
■ had heard that even the Bengal tyger might
be sometimes checked by looking him firm ,
ly in the face. He did so. In a few min- 1
ules, the tyger, which appeared prepared \
to make his final spring, grew disturbed,,
slunk aside, and attempted to creep round,
upon him behind. The officer turned con
stantly upon the tvger, which still continu- j
ed to shrink from his glance ; but, darting
into the thicket, and issuing forth in a dis- j
ferpnt quarter, it persevered for above half
an hour in this attempt to catch him by:
surprise ; till, at last, it fairly yielded Ibe |
contest, and left the gentleman to pursue ,
his pleasure walk. The direction he now j
took, as may easily believed, was strait to !
the tents, at a double quick lime.” Afler
relating several terrifick stories of encoun
ters with lions, the writer concludes his ar
ticle with one not quite so fearful, related
by Lucas Van Vunn to Vee Boor his neigh
bour, at the Ilavian's river: “ Lucas was
riding across the open plains about day
break, and observing a lion at a distance,he
endeavoured to avoid him by making a cir
cuit. Lucas soon perceived that he was
not disposed to let him pass without further
parlance, and that he was rapidly approach
ing to the encounter, and being without his
j roer (rifle) and otherwise little inclined to
I any closer acquaintance, he turned off at
! right angles—laid the sambok freely to his
; horse’s flank, and galloped for life. The
i horse was fagged, and bore a heavy man
; on his back ; the lion was fresh and furious
, with hunger, and came down upon him like
! a thunderbolt ! In a few seconds he over
j t"ok Lucas, and springing up behind him,
! brought horse and man in an instant to the
; ground Luckily, the boor wag unhurt,and
j the lion was too eager in worrying the
i horse, to pay any aitention to the rider.—
! Hardly knowing himself how he escaped,
i he contrived to scramble out of the affray,
and made a clean pair of heels of it till he
reached the next house. Lucas, who gave
me the details of this adventure himself,
made no observations on it as beiDg auy
way remarkable,except in the circumstance
of the lion's audacity in pursuing a ‘ Chris
tian man’ without provocation, in open day!
But what chiefly vexed him in the affair,
was the loss of the saddle. He returned
next day wiih a party of friends to takp
vengeance on his feline foe ; but both the
lion and saddle bad disappeared, and noth
ing could be found but the horse’s clean
picked bones. Lucas said, he could have
excused the schlem fur killing the horse, a
be allowed himself to get away, but the fe
louious abstraction of the saddle (for which,
as Lucas gravely observed he could have
no possible use) raised his spleen mightily,
and called down a shower of curses when
ever he told the story of his hair-breadth
escape.”
THE DISEASE OF LOVE.
• From the Medical Adviser.
It is a #rious fact, that a greater number
of young girls between the ages of 15 and
18, and of yuang men between 18 and 24,
fall victims to what they call love, than to
any other particular class of disease ; and
more particularly in England and Ireland
than in any other country on earth. This
h the force of impressions peculiar to these
countries, & of comparative recent growth,
—the effect produced by a certain class of
romance writers. These writers give an
obliquity to the young mind, which leads
to destruction. Scarcely has ? young girl
laid down her“ Reading made Ea*y,” than
she becomes a subscriber to some trashy li
brary, and the hours which, io the country,
or in a land where education is unknown,
they would employ in jumping about in
op n air, are now consumed wi*h intensity
of thought upon the maudlin miseries of
some hapless heroine of Romance, the
abortion of a diseased brain. Her “ imi
tati-oeness as Spurzheim would phrenolog
ically observe, becomes developed, and she
fixes on her favourite heroine, whom she
apes in every thing—sighing for her sor
row, and mourning to be as miserable. She
fixes immediately upon some figure of a
man —some Edwin or Edgar or Ethelbert,
which she thinks will harmonize with the
horrors of the picture, and she then enjoys
her tortures to her heart’s satisfaction.—
Langnur. inaction, late hours, late rising,
and incessant sighing, derange her diges
lion—paleness, loss of appetite, and general
debility follow—the cause continues—the
effects increase, and a hectick fever puis an
end to the romance. We have known a
young Irish lady who read herself into this
situation. She was at the age of thirteen,
as lively, as healthy and as fine a little
promise of womanhood as that country ever
produced. When the Leadenhall street
troop of Romances crossed her way, an of
ficer of a very different sort of troop be
came her hero. She would “ sit in her
bower,” (the second floor window) and
gaze—and gaze—and gaze upon his steed.
I his helmet, and its streaming black haired
crest, as he passed to mount guard, until
she sobbed aloud in extacy of melancholy.
She never spoke to the “ Knight,” nor did
she even seek to have an acquaintance
lest, perhaps, a formal proposal, a good leg
of mutton dinner, and all the realities of
domeslick happiness plight dissipate the
j sweet romantick hiiaery she so much de
l lighted in. A year passed over—“ she
pined in thought, and with a green and yel
low melancholy,” entered a convent (for
that is the climax of romance) where sbe
died in a few months.
DESPERATE ASSASSINS.
A couple of desperadoes are travelling our
country and making dreadful havock of property
and lives of old and young. They have already
slain more of the inhabitants than were slain in
I the battles, or perished in the prison ships, during
the American war ; at the same time they have
wasted more substance than would pay the na
tional debt. Their strength is invincible. Their
mode of attack is to strike people on the head ;
then instantly trip up Uieir heels,pick their pock
ets, and continue their blows on the head until
they have quite beat out their brains. Though
they infest pnblick houses chiefly, they are also
at private closets of private houses, in workshops
of mechanicks, and in the fields of farmers. In
some instances whole families have fallen victims
to these murderers ; nay whole towus have been
raiaged and ruined by them. One poor man
hereabouts, that had formerly been an iudustri
ous thriving inechanick, has lately been murder
ed by them iu a manner too shocking to relate ;
and there are several others in the vicinity who
have been lately attacked by them, robbed of
their money, smitten on the brain pan, knocked
down, and in all respects so violently handled,
that au alarming stupor had succeeded, and they
are already brought to death’s door. Iu a word,
the country is iu imminent danger, from a couple
of outlandish miscreants, who mock at reason,
trample upon the precious rights of men, and
equally bid defiance to law and gospel. The
names of these two ruffians are Rum & Brandy,
and we might add Whiskey for a third, and all
of these perfectly innocent and good if properly
improved. But the sin and guilt lies on the un
fortunate victim who ruins himself by them.
The renowned Peter the Great, while in Eng
land, and at Westminster Hall, in term time, and
seeiDg multitudes of people swarming about the
courts of law, is reported to have asked some
about him who all these busy people were, and
what they were about, and being answered that
they were lawyers, “ Lawyers I” returned he,
with great vivacity, “ why, 1 have but four in my
whole kingdom, and l design to haug two of them
as soon as I get home.”
