DLE and BRIDLE of the subset iber, on
the 15th instant, to go to Stcfihen Brown’t,

that he has run away with said Horse, &c.
He appeared to be about 22 or 23 years of
age, of light complexion, about five feet
s-.en inches high, had light blue eyes, and
was dressed in a long straight bodied black
coat, black pantaloons, a swansdown waist
coat mixed considerably with red, and
boots—He has sometimes gone by the name
of Joxx Kezer.— Said Horse is about
fourteen and an half hands high, of a dark
Chesnut colour, thick sett, and has been
lately nicked. The Saddle was considera
bly impaired by wear, having a hole worn
through the front part of it. The Bridle
has very large plated bits, with one pair of
small black reins. Whoever will appre
hend said Eaton, or Kezer, and deliver

DAYS THAT ARE TO COME.
C basb, cesse, sweetest youth, I pray cease
thy bewailing i
No more seek the cold recess, along the rude
shofe i
Nor the light billow? roll, nor the wide roll
ing ocean* . 'if ' .■» •• '■ >• .
Nor the mountain? high fop’ ting’d with gold
any more; . ,
It is all a mere vision! thqr*? nothing there
Then turn thee and view in still sweeter com
motion, " , uMR '
Not the face of the deA, or the wide rolling
ocean,
But of an object more that must Dot
be told.
Let the bird of the evening sing his lone tafe,
Unmoleeted, and sooth his sad h e ’rt with his
Original paetrp.
I h ad" often heard the bible calfed the best
book In the world. I never knew k to be
so till how. I found it exactly the book my
situation required. I ran to read it as a
hungry man to his meal. It now became
the food of my soul. I was filled with rap
turous pleasure, when I read the love of
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
1 was convinced by the word of God, that
I could perform no works to entitle me to
heaven. Indeed I discovered such wick
edness In my heart, that my very best
works were defective and defiled. This
led me to see the necessity of the sufferings
for sin, endured by Jeans Christ. I was con
vinced he had Blade an atonement for aih ;
•nd that this was my conviction, or belief
1 was conscious, and hence depended on
the perfect obedience unto death of Jesus
Christ, as the alone foundation of my hope
before God I now bfgan toassiet my father
tn instructing my brotberw and sisters. I
accompanied him when be visited the sick
and the poor—when he went to the houve J
•ong, ~ 7,ii.
Let him muse, and on scenes of past
bewail ’
Thou bast trac’d scenes of pleasure gone, gone,
quite too long—
Tho’ father and mether and sister and brother,
With joys of thy youtfi, were gone, gone, gone
together,
And the jrienda of thy heart to return again
never,
Yet a prize still awaits* worth all, all, allto
gether.
For a moment entranc’d!—no longer illusion,
Enjoy the sweet voice tf Friendehip of those
you esteem,
by my grot from intneion,
How Uieefulthe moment longer a dream I
Then let the bright vtafon; by firncy created,
Swell, ewell thy fond Msom, (thy sorrows ef
fltced,
And fled,Jled\'ike a dream no more to be traced,)
And instantly quit the rude shore and return.
The moon on the face of the ground sweetly
’ smiling,
Shall shed her faint light t’er thy tremulous
patii,
To a scene, how eublime ! yet by no means be
guiling :
Then a strange! from home, no more roam far
away :
Though the days that are gone, ore gone, gone,
gone forever,
Youthful joys shall return, to depart never,
never,
More sweet than of all, all thy friends put
together,
Repine then no longer at these which are gone-
Let the gloom be dispell'd, if you please) or
diffused t
Let hope most benignantly gleam, and then
•A fur,
And friendship’s mild acetate, like these lines
shall be emeethed,
And thy grief ewllen heart quite cease longer
to mourn. ALMIILV

CONVOY AND ARMING THE MERCHANT-
MEN.
The bill, brought into the House of Re
presentatives by the committee, which
reinstated the commercial restrictions in
Macon's bill, is at once ineffectual and hu
miliating. Of the folly, which brooded
over its birth, it may be sufficient tuub-i
serve, that it provides convey far outward < \
btfopd vessels and forbids It cm tbHr-re
turnand in like manner it permit vesaela
to be armed for defence on their voyage
from the United States, and IntorAeesdtt
defence on their homeward voyage.' Bmh
convoy and defence are confined id vessels'
selling with the produce of the United
States, and of course the foreign articles,
which they may load in return, are Bp be
left to their fate.
In the enumeration of contraband, the
bill purposely throws the gauntlet tnGreaC
-Britain. Mr. Burwell's bill tfeariy
ed the list contained In. Jay’s treaty > M
the report of this committee euhMiNM*>
one, which omits alltheartietesof Rural
equipment. The disputes raised tffogt
them were inflamed into hocttHdm be
tween Great-Britain and the Northern*
Powers, a few years ago, when Mr. Shori- > •
dan, an opposition lender, declared he
would be for nailing the flag to the meet* •
head, that they might all go to the bntuNH <
together, rather than yield such etcentiak
points as these. After recognising In a *
treaty with Gveet-Brftaßi the mosd ex- ‘
tended list of contraband, what hot an un
alterable desire to provoke quatrdlsind
war cqnld bo the motive for pledging tint
nation upon the curtailed enumeration ?
Will- nothing satiate the appetite of Vhr
