SCHIME OF
SCHEME
Hail, sombre sprite! thou Queen of gloom !
Who o'er the trackless forest roam,
At midnight’s solemn hour;
Where, by the pale fiioon’s silver rays,
The trav’ler chaunts thy mournful lays—
A victim to thy pow’r.
O’er Lybia't waste thy footsteps move.
Or on the mountain’s summit rove,
Or through the valley glide.
Oft have 1 seen thee on the shore,
Where, ’gainst the rocks, rude billows roar;
Where rolls the foaming tide.
Oft, on the bleak and dismal plain,
I’ve heard, alone, thy pensive strain,
Float on the whistling wind.
While, from her den, the night-bird scream’d,
Or livid lightnings round me gleam’d,
And swell’d with fear my mind.
Upon the cliff’s projecting brink,
Where nought but moss-grown stones e’er
drink
The evening’s balmy dew,
wander’d oft, when grief deprest
The warmer feelings of niy breast,
To sit slone with you.
I’ve seen thee at tlie tiered dome,
And watch’d thy progress to the tomb,
Where dropp’d the chrystal tear:
There hast thou swell’d the bursting groan,
And added to the orphan’s moan,
While resting on the bier.
E’en to the dark and gloomy cell,
Where murd’rers, in confinement dwell,
Thou find’st the lonely way :
There, feeding on their haggard forms,
Thou heightened! their dread alarms,
And with them ever stay.
Oft dost thou seek the humble cot.
To frown upon (heir happy lot,
Whose bliss has least alloy :
But still more oft dost thou appear
Where mirth and wine the wealthy cheer.
To dash the cup of joy.
At diff’rent times thou’rt seen to wait •
Upon the beggar and the great— •
Both at thy footstool how.
Nor princely robe, nor priestly gown,
Afford a rtfuge from thy frown j
They dread tby wrinkled bryw.
And soundly rins’d her, ten times over.
Now, should the Moral come : but why
Look round, for what is in our way ;
You all can see as well as I,
But, tipee it; *tis my wisest play.
When trouble comes, why breast it, man,
■jit max D»a hy, and leave good weather:
But shrink and fly; do all you can,
You’ll find, you’ll keep your course together.
You can but get a wetting through.
At once, with eagle apeed, amain,
One right to windward, took her way ;
Nor long she fled, but through the rain,
Scarce wet, emerg’d to cloudless day.
The other fled before the blast:
’Twas vain, the amorous Rain-King, caught
her,
To make his suit, he flew as fast;
His sighs were squalls, his tears rain-water.
In vain he aued, in vain she fled,
And h4|no chicken-hearted lover, .
Swore, hcM.ave vengeance on her head.
And frolick in the breezy shade,
Two female forms were seen to stray,
Across the mead and towards the grove:
Ye thoughtless maids, tread back your way,
Nor further from your shelter rove—
Now Zephyr rushes with a whirl;
Not as he wont, with gentle sweep :
The clouds their forky lightnings hurl,
With answering thunder long and deep.
Now sudden, over head appears
The rapid cloud, abrupt, defin'd,
A flash—a clap—the eyes, the cars,
What can two wretched damsels do ?
Stand and be drench’d ! «o ; where’s the use
A FABLE.
Thx grass was down, the earth was dry,
And fervid shot the solar ray ;
But rising in the eastern sky,
Thick clouds were seen in black array.
Anon, a coolness floats around,
The weary lungs again respire;
The rake move* briskly o’er the ground,
And infant limbs forget to tire.
Just then, releas’d hy Zephyr’s hand,
. From durance hard, by Phcbus hid ;
To drink the gale and odours bland,
Cry, mercy—heavens; I’m deaf; I’m blind.
Down pours the rain, an instant sluice ;

“ I, together with Samuel Henderson,

board the said privateer about five weeks)
three weeks of which time we were closely (
confined below in irons, subsisting on three
biscuits per day. After our arrival at Port
Passage, we were kept on board nine days,
•till in irons; and then we were taken out
by a guard of soldiers and marched to
Bayonne, about sixty miles—fiom the'nee
we were carried to the prison, where we
remained four daya, without a morae!
any thing to cat, and then the American
Deputy-Consul, Mr. Lamb, came to see us,
and ordered that we should have firiaonera*
allowance, bread and water. The room
in which we were confined had in it from
three to five hundred persons, at different
times; and out of this number I have
counted twenty-five dead bodies over one
night. There used to die from six to twen
ty or upwards every day, and new prison
ers coming in every week to add to the
former victims. M; two fellow-associates
in wretchedness, lingered out their exis

FROM THE PORTLAND GAZETTE.
“ napoleon IS OUR KING.'*
READ AND PONDER!
The following narrative of the sufferings
and hardship* of a fellow-citizen, show*
what is to be understood by French friend
ship and Bonaparte’* “ love for Ameri
can*.” But this is only one of a thousand of
the acts of cruelty and oppression which
American citizens have experienced from
the tyrant of Europe. What is still worse,
either from fear or undue partiality in the
powers that be, towards France, their re
peated acts of aggression are either pal
liated or passed over with neglrct by those
whose duty and obligation it is to redress
the wrongs of the citizens, fr<>m whatever
quarter they may proceed. H<>w far our
people-loving democrats at Washington,
feel for the sufferings of the fioor tafitive
suitor, for whom they have expressed so
much sympathy on fiafier, let Uiisfaot an
swer. During the imprisonment of Hodg
kins, his mother wrote to the Sect etui y of
Slate, requesting his intef'erence in favour
of her son, and received for reply that “ she
must apply to the Consul in France.”—lt
would be well for the owner of the v'essaf
to recollect the maxim, “ Do as you would £
be done to.” His refusal to compensate a
person; who, for the preservation of his pro
l»crly, had suffered every thing but death,
bespeaks a heart devoid of every feeling of
humtnliy and Justice. Fat different waa
the conduct of‘the Hon. Mr. Hale, of Do
ver, (N. H.) one of the present Member*
of Congress from that State, whose vessel*
was ransomed for a certain sum, and a
part of the crew were taken as hostage*.
As soon as Mr. Hale was apprised of lha
transaction, be immediately remitted mo
ney for the redemption of the people who
were taken by the French privateer. Suds
men are truly honourable. dAtfL
“ 1 sailed fiom Liverpool on the
vember, 18G9, for
ship Concord, William Sidney
ter. On the 13th of the same month wia
were captured by the French piiva.eer
Decide. Our captain was taken out and
carried on board the privateer, where ha
remained but a short time and returned
back. He then went forward and stated
to the crew that hia ship was taken, and
that he had but ten minutes to decide in,
whether to have hi* ship burnt or giva
up three American* a* hostage* for the
payment of Twelve Thousand Dollar*. Ha
called the mate and asked him if he would
go as one, alleging that be must give one
officer. He, the captain, then called me
and Matthew Christian, and ordered us to
get our things ready and go in the boat on
board the French privateer, which we
Were compelled to do, notwithstanding re
monstrances to the contrary. The captain
told me to be of good courage, that ha
would shape hi* course for Philadelphia,
and send out the ransom money, which ha
never did.
Thy hellish gloom I court:
Dwell in my breast, and nourish there
Unbounded phrensy, fell despair,
And wi|h my senses sport.
No more disturb the rural cot.
Or trifle with the beggar's lot,
Or mar convivial glee—
Leave mirth and wine, the rich to cheer,
The orphan to dry up the tear,
And dwell alone with me.
THEODORE.
