POETRY
THE PILGRIM FATHERS
„y MRS HEM A NS.
The breaking waves dash and high
On a stern and ruck-bound coast;
And the woods against a (-torjpy sky,
Thcjr giant branches toea’d.
And the heavy night hung dark,
The hills and waters o'er,
Where a band of exiles moor and their bark
On the wild New-England shore.
Not as the conqueror comes,
They, the true-hearted came,
Not with the roll of the stirring drums,
Or the trumpet that, rings of fame.
Not as the flying come,
In silence and in fear;
They shook tho depths of tho desart's gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer
Amidst tho storm they aang,
And the stars heard, and the sea;
And the sounding aisles of tho dim woods rang
To the anthem of tho free
The ocean onglc soar’d
From Ilia nest by the white wave s foam,
And the rocking pines of the forest roar’d
This was their welcome home.
What sought they thus afar>
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealth of seas, tho spoils of war?
They sought a faith’s pure shrine.
Aye! call it holy ground,
The spot where first they trod—
They left unstain’d what there they found,
Freedom to worship God.
TIIE ANT AND THE CRICKET,
Or the Bankrupt and the Banker.
A silly young cricket ac- ustotned to sing
Through tho warm sunny months of gay summer
and spring,
Began to complain when he found that at homo
Ilia cupboard wns empty and winter had come;
Not a crumb to be found
On the snow cover’d ground,
Not a flower could ho see,
Not a leaf on a tree;
Oh what will heejmo, says the cricket, of me!
At last by starvation and famine made bold,
All dripping with wet and all trembling with
Away ho set off to a miserly ant,
To see if to keep him alivo, he would giant
Him shelter from rain;
A mouthful of grain,
Ho wished only to borrow,
He’d repay it tomorrow,
If not he must die of starvation and sorrow.
Says tho ant to the cricket, I'm your sorvant and
friend,
But wo ants never borrow, we ants never lend;
But tell me, dear cricket, did you lay nothing by,
When the weather was warm? quoth tho cricket
—not I.
My heart light,
That I sang day and night,
For all nature look'd gay.—
You sang sir, you say?
Go then, says the ant, and dance winter away.
Thus ending he hastily lifted tho wicket,
And out of the door turn’d tho poor starving
cricket.
Folks call this a fable, I’ll warrant it true;
Some crickets have four legs, and some have
but two.
EARLY IMRESSIONS.
I was but five years old when my moth,
er died, but her image is as distinct on my
recollection, now that thirty yeass have
elapsed, as it was at the time of her death.
I remember her as pale gentle being, with
a sweet smilo and voice that was soft and
rhcerful, and when she praised me, and
when I had erred, for I was a wild, tho’t
less child, there was a trembling wildness
about it that always went to my little heart
And then she was so kind, so patient; I
think I can see her large blue eyes, moist
with sorrow because of my foolish way
wardness; and hear repeat, my child, how
can you gi ievo me so. I recollect she had
for a long time been pale and feeble, and
sometimos theie would come a bright spot
on her cheek, which made her look so love
ly, I thought she mu-t be well. But then
she sometimes spoke of dying, and pressed
me to her bosom, and told me tojbo good
when she was gone, and to love my father
a great deal, and be kind to him, for he
would have no one else to love. I recol
loct sl»e was very sick all day, and my lit
tlo baby horse and whip were laid aside,
and I tried to be very quiet. I did not see
her for the whole day and it seemed very
long. At night they told me my mother
was too sick to kiss ntc as she always used
do, before I went to bed.dk I must do with
out it. But I could not. I stole into the
room and laying nty lips close to hers,
whispered, mother, mother, won’t you
kiss me? Her lips were cold but when
she nut tvr arms around me and laid my
head upon her bosom, and one hand upon
her cheek, I felt a cold shudder creep all
over me. My father carried me from tho
room, but ho could not speak. After they
put mu in bed I laid a long while thinking
I feared my mother would indeed die, for
her cheek felt cold as my little sister’s did
when she died and they laid her in tho
ground. But the impressions of mortality
aie always indistinct with childhood. In
the morning I hastened to niy mother s
room. A white nnpk.n covered her face
I removed it—it was just as I seated.
Her eyes were closed, her cheek was co-d
and hatd, and only the lovely expression
that always rested upor her lips remained,
loan instant all the little faults for which
she had so often reproved me, rushed upon
my mind. I longed to tell her how good
I would always be, if she would but stay
with me. She was buried—but the memo
ry of the funeral is iudistinct I only retain
the impression which her ptecepts aud ex
ample left on my mind. I was a passion
ate headstrong boy, but I never yielded to
this turn of my disposition, without fancy
ing I saw her mild, tearful eye fixed upon
nto, just as she used to do in life. And
then when I had succeeded in overcoming
it, her sweet swile of approbation beamed
upon me, and I was happy. My whole
character underwent a change, even from
the moment of her death. Her spirit was
always with me, strengthening my good
resolutions, and weakening my propensi
ties to evil. I felt that it would grieve her
gentle spirit to see me err. nnd I could
not, would nor, do it. I was the child of
her affection; I knew that site prayed and
wept over me, aud that even on the thresh
old of the grave, her anxiety for my wel
fare had caused her spirit to linger, that she
might once more pray for me. I resolved
to become all she could desire This res
olution I never have forgotten. It help
ed me subdue the waywardness of child
hood, protected me through the tempta
tions of youth, and will protect me through
the busier scenes of manhood. Whatever
there is that is estimable iu my character,
I owe it to the impressions of goodness
made upon my infant mind, by the exem
plary conduct and faithful instructions of
my excellent mother.
FORGETFULNESS. T
A rogue asked charity on pretence of
being dumb. A lady having asked him,
with equal simplicity and humanity, how
long lie had been dumb, lie was thrown off
his guard, and answered, fivo years, m ad
um.
Female heroism. —A great many women
took an active part in tho combat in Paris,
aud soveral distinguished themselves by
feats of extraordinary courage; a young and
pretty girl, nineteen years of age, who, du
ring the three days, appeared in front of
the combatants armed with a muskot, ac
quired such an ascendency over the citizens,
that they regarded her almost as their cap
tain. Intrepid on the field of battle, she
lavished her kind attentions on the wounded
when the firing had ceased. So much he
roism, devotion, and humanity, excited the
enthusiasm of all who witnessed it. On the
eveniug of the third day this young girl was
borne in triumph through the streets of Par
is. A groat crowd accompanied her, shoot
ing cries of joy. In one hand she held a
sword, and in the other the tri-coloured fl ig.
Lighted torches shed a brilliancy on this
gay cortege.
Military duty.— A Yankee being
warned to do military duty, requested the
captain to excuse him. The officer told
him that he might state the case to the com
pany, and if they would vote in the affirm
ative, he should he excused. He accor
dingly made the following address; —‘‘Fel-
low-soldiers, I am rather hard of hearing,
and don’t always understand the word of
command. Besides, at the age of sixteen
I was drafted to go iu the army; but my fa
ther went in my room, and was killed, and
never got home. Now, if I had gone my
self, and got killed, I should have got clear
of military duty to all eternity .” He was
excused by acclamation.
Premature Death —An Irishman wishing
to get rid of his wife, wrote her a melan
choly letter from tha west Indies, iu which
he recommended her and her childreu to
the care of Providence and his friends, as
he had lately died of the yellow fever!!!
Guard yourself against your enemies:
guard yourself doubly against your friends.

PRUPOSA LS,
Fur publishing l"/ subscription a compendium of
the Laws oj the State of Gcoigia, by Arthur
Foster.
Containing all the statutes and the substance
of all the resolutions of a general and public na
ture, and now of force, which have been passed
in said State from theyear 1820, to the year 1829,
both inclusive, with occasional explanatory note3
and references, and a list of the statutes repealed
or obsolete To which is added an appendix,
containing*tlio constitution of the slate of Geor
gia, as amended; also references to such local
acts as relate to towns, counties, internal naviga
tion, county academies, Ac. and a collection of
the most approved forms used in carrying the
above laws into efl'ect; with a copious index to
the whole. It will be something like a continua
tion of Prince’s Digest, noting the laws in said
Digest, repealed or altered, ft may be.oliseivcd,
that the legislature of Georgia are in the constant
practice of repealing, altering, or amending laws
passed at their previous sessions, so that without
such a digest, or compilation of them, as is now
respectfully offered to the public, it actually re
quires a lawyer, or a person who has devoted
much time to the examination and comparison of
the ditf rent en lclments of each succeeding ses
sion of the legislature, to be acquainted with all
tiio iaws which are of force. And lraving wilnes
sod with much pleasure tho immense public utili
ty and popularity ofihe digest compiled by Oli
ver II Prince and also having no doubt but a
similar compendium of tke law's ftoni the time of
that publication down to the present with the ad:
dition of the precedents, on forms, which will be
placed in the appendix, and which will add great
ly to the public utility of t he work, and to the fur
therance of justice, would be very acceptable to
llio yublic, the compiler has ventured upon the
f.rduous and important undertaking. However,
nr,t relying altogether on his own experience of
having been a member ts the legislature during
the passage ofihe niostofthe Laws now proposed
to be published, and at the administration of
them for eight years, as justice ol the inferior
court, in a county where much business of an in
tricate nature is transacted in that court and tho
court of ordinary; after collating tho inanurcript
it has been placed in the hands of gentlemen em
inent in the law, who alter a strict and careful
examination have politely tendered to him the
subjoined certificates.
I havo examined a digest of the Laws of Geor
gia from 1820 to 1829 inclusive, by A. Foster,
esq. and think tho work executed with great judg
ment and accuracy. Tho work is intended as a
continuation of Prince’s Digest, and is, in my opin
ion, well calculated to answer that valuable pur
pose. Although the author is not professionally
a Lawyer, he seems, in ascertaining tne statutes
now' offeree, to have added much care examina
tion and’studv, to his advantages as a practical le
gislate, during most of the period embraced m his
work.

Augusta, July 23, 1830.
I have attentively examined a Digest of the
Laws of Georgia, from 1820, t‘2 1829, inclusive,
and find the work is executed with much judg
ment and accuracy, by A. Foster, esq. of Colum
bia county,. I have no doubt the work will
prove valuable to every citizen who feels desir
ous to become informed of the statutes now of
force in the state, and would lecommend all jus
tices of the inferior court, justices of the peace,
cle ks, sheriffs, i, c. to possess themselves of the
work as soon as published.

Wrightsborougli, otli Juno. 1830.
Sir—As far as 1 have yet Imd an opportunity
of examining the manuscript copy of your digest,
ol the laws of the state of Georgia, 1 highly ap
prove both of its plan and execution. Tho vol
ume canuot fail to answer well tlie purpose for
which it was intended. Iu tho appendix there
are a number of precedents or forms, which ap
pear to havo been modeled with accuracy, and in
strict conformity to the digested statues from
which they were drawn; and without doubt will
add much to the value and usefulness of the
work, as a mean (in the hands of the justices of
the peace, justices of the inferior courts, clerks,
sheriffs, young practitioners of the law, and oth
ers) in crryiug the above named laws into effect
with greater facility.
I tun sir your obedient sorvant,
riERsSON PETIT.
Arthur Foster esq.
The work is no-.v in the hands of Judge Schley,
who has kindly promised as early as other en
gagements will permit to take it through a caro
tid and minute investigation, and correction, if
correction shall be found to bo necessary and
proper.
The great public ntility of such a work must
be obvious to all; aud tho compiler, who has de
voted to it much time and lrborious study, flatters
himself that the testimonials presented above,
will folly satisfy the public, that that utility lias
not been lessened in the slightest degree, by any
defect on his part, iu its general design or the ac
curacy of its execution.
tO At the suggestion of the professional gen
tlemen whose names are affixed to the above cer
tificates, and ot hers who have generously taken
an interest in the work, and with ail anxious de
sire to make the work as extensively useful as
possible to tiie public, the compiler will introduce
into it sevetal highly important laws of the Uni
ted States, in common use among the people,
and which are often ditficult to lie tound; among
which are those i relation to the naturalization
of aliens the remavai of cases from the state to
the United State courts, the mode of voti g for
president and vice president, by electors, and of
making tho returns, and the time of holding such
elections, 4'C.
