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. DA 11 BERING.

JOHN LOOMIS, ExT. Oct 10, 183d 1-f-w 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. JOHN P. KING. Augusta, July, 1830. 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. THOMAS GLASCOCK. 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.
