POETRY.
THE BURIAL OF THE YOUNG.
’There was an open grave,—and many an eye
Look'd down upon it. Slow the sable hearse
Mov’d on as if reluctantly it bare
The young, unwearied form to that cold couch
Which age and sorrow render sweet to man.
There seem'd a sadness in the humid air,
Lifting the long grass from those verdant mounds,
Where slumber multitudes.
There was a train
Os young, fair females, with their brows of bloom,
And shining tresses. Arm and arm they came,
And stood upon the brink of that dark pit,
Tn pensive beauty waiting the approach
Os their companion. She was wont to fly
And meet them as the gay bird meets the spring,
Brushing the dew-drop from the morning flowers.
And breathing mirth and gladness A'ouj she came
With movements fashion’d to the deep-ton’d belli
She came with mourning sire and sorrowing friend,
And tears of those who at her side were nurs’d
By the same mother.
Ah I and one was there
Who e’er the fading of the summer rose
Had hop’d to greet her as his bride. But Death
Arose between them. The pale lover watch’d
So close her journey through the shadowy vale,
That almost to bis heart, the ice of death
Enter’d from hers. There was a brilliant flush
Os youth about her—and her kindling eye
Pour’d such unearthly light, that hope would hang,
Even on the archer’s arrow, while it dropp’d
Deep poison. Many a restless night she toil'd
For that slight breath which held her from the ;
tomb, j
Kdl wasting likr a snow-wreath, which the sun, ;
Marks for bis own ou some cool mountain’s breast, I
Yet spares and tinges long with Tosy light.
Oft o'er the musing, of hey silent conch, |
Came visions of that matron form which bent
With nursing tenderness to sooth and bless
Her cradle dream ; and her emaciate hand
In trembling prayer she rais’d, that he who sav'd
The sainted mother, would redeem the child.
Was the orison lost ?—Whence then that peace
So dove-like, sft*)ingo’er a soul that lov’d
Earth and its pleasures? Whence that angel smile i
With which the allurements of a world so dear
Were counted and resign’d ?—That eloquence I
So fondly urging those whose hearts were full
Os sublunary happiness, to seek
A better portion ? Whence that voice of joy,
W hirh from the marble lip in life’s last strife
Burst forth to hail her everlasting home r
Cold reasoriers ! be convinced. And when ve
stand
Where that fair brow and those unfrosted locks
Return to dust, — young sleeper waits
The resurrection morn,—Oh ! lift the heart i
In praise of Him who gave the victory !

MISCELLANY.

from the Concord Register.
SINGULAR RECOGNITION.
Among- the early settler 4 in one of the
town* on the eastern hank of the Connec- 1
ticut, in New Hampshire, there was a per-j
eon by (he name of Sylvester Po-me, !>nt
known more generally hy the appellation I
of hunter Doane. Os a hardy and robust
constitution, he madp the chase bis chief:
employ, and in his general appearance and,
habits of life, appeared closely allied to!
those scattering Indians who remained in 1
the vicinity of the settlements, long after:
the tribes to which they belonged had re-1
moved or become extinct. He was often j
seen associating with them in excursions ofi
hunting, and like them he manifested a
- indifference to all those conveni
oners which constitnle the comfort of civil
ized life. In his view, the precarious pro
duce of the cha e appeared far preferable
to the certain and rich harvests which the!
fertile valleys of the Connecticut have nev-’
or failed to yield to those who have cnlti
vated their soil. To the pleasures of soci
ety and social intercourse,’ he manifested
an entire insensibility. Although be had
married, and though the provision he made
for bis family was the same be wished for*
himself, still his intercourse with them was
far from indicating thp affectionate husband
and tender parent. Indeed it was feared,
when, previous to the French and Indian
war“, the Indians began to withdraw from
the. neighbourhood of the whites, that the
stronger lie prevailing over Ihe weaker, he.
would ..entirely relinquish his family, and
unite himself to those whose dispositions
w<we considered more congenial to his
own. In their apprehensions, howevpr,
people were mistaken ; and a circumstance
soon occurred, which showed that the
workings of the heart cannot always be de
lertnined hy the outward deportment.
From Ihe menacing attitude assumed by’
the Indians towards the close of the year
1751, the whites hpgan to restrict them-j
selves to the neighbourhood of the settle-’
ments; and though our hunter long enjoy-’
ed an immunity in his excursions, which
others would not have expected, still he,
at last, began to partake of the general
distrust, and confine himself in his search
for game, to the river and the ponds in Ihe
•vicinity of Charlestown and Claremont.
In (be spring ot 1775, he had become so far
douiPsticaU il, as to engage in yhe business
of making maple sugar. This he did the
more readily, as by keeping his rifle in
company, it afforded him frequent oppor
tunities for displaying his skill as a marks
man, and enriching himself with the game.
He usually took his only child, a boy of
some five or six years of age, with him, to
look to theTetHe*. while he collected the
sap, or secured such game as fell in his
way.
Things had thus continued for some time
without any remarkable incident, till re
turniug one day after a longer excursion
’ (ban usual, he found tbe kettles deserted
by the boy, and ‘he (ires extinguished : but
as the ladle was goue, which it was a part
of the duty of the boy to carry home at
night, be concluded that he had become im
patient at his long absence, and returned to
the house. Not doubting but he should
find his child at (he house, he proceeded
homeward: but on arriving there, he learn
ed, from the anxious mother, that the child
had not been seen since his departure iu,
the morning. The few neighbours were!
immediately collected, and search made,]
but to no purpose. It was continued Iht
two following days, by larger assemblies|
collected from adjacent towns; but no trace
of the child could be found, and all were
unanimous in the opinion that he must eith
er have been destroyed by some beast, or
■traggled to the river and perished in the
• stream. It was then, that the workings of
humanity, and the tender emotions of the
parent, first exhibited themselves in the
father. Although there was an evident
exertion to restrain the feelings, still the I
big tear, that occasionally foil unwiped
from his eye, and the strong workings of
his countenance, plainly showed that his
bosom was the seal of confiiclir.g passions.
The mother, who perhaps from not meeting
ihe return of her affections which she ex
pected from the husband, had transferred 1
all her feelings to the child, now al his loss,
broke out iu all the extravagance of latnen \
i tation and despair. For weeks she might!
be seen traversing the wood that tvas near.;
sometimes searching in every recess for hisj
remains; at others, making the whole vat-j
ley resound with her cries ; till al last her
disorder of mind communicated to her hodv,
and she became at once the subject of mel
ancholy and disease. Her constitution,
though strong, as was usual in those tunes,
when no adventitious aids were resorted to
for forming the “slender waist,” and giving
symmetry to the person, was nevertheless
unequal to so great a shock. The violence
of disease and mental excitement, soon put
a period to her existence.
Alter depositing her remains in the earth,
the husband immediately made dispositions
for leaving the place, declaring that it was
‘impossible for him to remain where there
; was so much to remind him of the former
j calamities he hail suffered, lie directed
j his course to the eastern part of Ihe state
j of Vermont, which was then settling, and
took up a tract of land, which has since
been remarked for its fertility, as well as
for the advantages it affords for manufac
turing establishments. Invited by the’
richness of the soil, he engaged successfully |
in agriculture—became wealthy,and highly
respectable ; though he ever retained much
us the inanity of manners, which distin
gnished him in early life.
Nothing further transpired to lead atten
tion to him till the winter of 18i5, when
one ot hi- neighbours bping on a visit at St.
Regis, Canada, was struck to meet with
the tame name, Sylvester Duane. Excited
to some inquiry by this coincidence of
names, he found that the person with whom
he bad met, could give no account of his
early childhood, except that he had been
taken by the Indians, but so young, that he
retained now but an imperfect recollection
of what previously transpired. He had no
remembrance of his parents, nor any place
front which he was taken; only that he
was returning from the sugar place and
carrviug a ladle, which he still retained.
Upon the mention of this, the person, who
was knowing to many of the crcumstances
above related, immediately informed him
that his father still lived—related to him
the circumstances—and invited him to ac
company him tn his return. To this the
stranger was more incited, by learning that
his father, bowed down by the palsying
hand of more than eighty years, was fast
sinking to the grave—unconscious that
there still remained one, who could claim
a kindred with him—oue that would follow
his bier in the capacity of mourner—or
shed a lear at his departure.
On the evening of the third day from tbe
time when the son first learned that his
father lived, he entered the parental man
sion, bearing in his hand the ladle, which
he had preserved a a reltck, through all
his wanderings, atnd by which he was now
to support his claim to the endearing ap
pellation of child. The ladle was first pre
sented to the father, with the question
whether he recollected to have seen it be
fore. He immediately recognised it, and
anxiously ir quired f<>r his son. On the in
troduction of the younger Duane, the father
rose superior to Ihe force of bis disease,
which had ling rendered him nearly help
less, and already brought him “so near the
confines of the grave, that many were fear
ful for tbe event of the interview ; He rose
in his bed, and embraced his sen with such
warmth, and even with such violence, that
the beholdeis were apprehensive that he
would expire with him in his arms. But
soon relinquishing his hold, he sunk back
exhausted, and faintly ejaculating, “ Now
lettest thou tby servant depart in peace,”
shortly after expired Not however, till
he had ordered the destruction of his will,
by which means his estate, which other
wise would have been directed to other spe
cified purposes, was left entire to his sod.
j INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT.
From an English Paper.
Think of the childish ceremonies, the
idle pageantry, the ridiculous mummeries,
tbe holy oil, the feathers, furs and foppery
of a coronation in Europe, as contrasted
witb this dignified scene! Al Washington,
in the capilol, Mr Adams, In a plain suit of
black, acenJs the Speaker's chair, pro
nounces his address to his fellow citizens,
walks to Ihe table of the Judges, and in a
volume of the law*f the United States,
reads his oath of office, and thus the mag
istrate of a mighty state is installed—“ Look
on (his picture, and then on that.” If, at
! Englishmen, we blush at the comparison in
one fespecl, w feel n glow of exultation in
! another, at the thought of the superior wis
dom and the truer greatness of that coun
; try, which owesf at any rale, its birth to
ours. America is the child of England, and
is, perhaps,destined to perpetuate ihe mem
! ory of its parent, who should feel nothing
! like envy and jealousy at the endow ments
j of its illustrious offspring, and still less ex
hibit any thing like derision at the imper
, sections of her incipient constitution and
j policy, whilst be.re we are submitting to
, such things as tbe six acts , Ihe tythe system,
j a standing army, ami an enormous taxation ;
land our neighbours the Irt-h, to wti litary
law and religious persecution. We even
thought to beg of the Americans tie forgive
our haughty airs of superiority, to forget,
while they contemplate with just pride
their well organized navy, that Mr. Fan
ning ever talked of their “ few fir frigs tea
and bits of striped burning;” he has more
occasion than they 10 regret this piece of
flippancy; it was one of those unlucky
jokes of his which so often fly back into his
face, till he has been ready, we dare eay, a
hundred times, almost to bite off bis longue
for having uttered n. It is high time for
that Right Hon. Gentleman to lay aside, his
ancient situation of jester, and think more
of cultivating the statesman like qualities,
which he certainly possesses in no ordinary
degree.

“ It is composed entirely as its title implies, of
selections frum/oreign journals. A few words
may show that it is, however, far from being ad
verse to our own institutions or literature—and
that on the contrary, it may have an important
effect in preventing Ihe dissemination of doctrines
in discordance with the principles upon which
our society is constituted. Some of the British I
Reviews and Magazines are reprinted in this j
couutry exactly as they appear at home, and they j
as well ns those which are not published here,;
embrace much matter of little interest and no ad- j
vantage to our readers—and which is not unfre-j
qnentiy tilted to vitiate their literary taste, their j
morals, and their political principles. But while ;
it cannot he denied that there is in all these for- j
1 eign journals a large part which consists of details j
and speculations which are uninteresting to Amer
i lean readers, or mischievous in their political or
moral tendency, it is equally certain that a con
siderable portion of their contents is of general
. application and of interest and value, and that
they embrace much that is in a very high degree
interesting and curious—practical, sound and
able—refined and elegant j much that will excite
thought and refine the imagination—that will
“raisethe genius and mend the heart.” And
when we consider that Ihe greatest philosophers
and statesmen, as well as poets, criticks, and all
! other men of literature, now find the periodical
i press the channel through which their opinion*
can be conveyed to the greatest number of|men,
it will appear very evident, that a knowledge of
what is thus written and done abroad is necessary
to the successful cultivation of ourown literature,
and important to the politician, scholar and man
of business, as well as to him who reads only for
amusement.
To persons who reside at a distance from thi
great depositories ol'New Books and New Inven
tions, a work conducted upon this plan is peon
iiarly important, as atTording to them an opportu
nity of keeping pace in some degree with the pro
gress of knowledge, at a very trifling expense of
money or time.
When it is added that most of the literature ol
the day is not easily accessible in any other than
tlrs form to our families, it will readily be ac
knowledged that a work conducted upon the
plan of the Museum may lie in a very considera
ble degree interesting or valuable. How far this
Journal has been successful in endeavouring to
merit thee appellations, mut be determined by
the puhlick ; and the rapid increase of tbe sub
scription list is the most gratifying proof of suc
cess.”
