THE YOUNGER WATSON.—A Letter said to be
written by this Person appears in a respectable
Morning Paper of this day. But we suspect that
the Editor has been imposed upon by a fabrica,
tion written for the mere purpose of encouraging
emigration to America. It professes to be written.
in the United States, but does not specify the place
or the time, and alludes to the escape of bis fa-
ther from the Law. Now if it means by that
escape to allude to the acquittal-of the Elder Wat-
bon it is a glaringlabriCation„ since the Son could
not have known of that acquittal in time for a
letter to have reached this country in show
his knowledge of it. We repeat our conviction
that it is a base and insidious fabrication, to com-
pliment America, and delude our credulous coon-
teymen into Emigration.

anti the Princess Elizabeth took their usual airing

*HI be carried into effect without deliy. The oc-

,PUNCTUALITY.—The late Mr. Scott, of Exeter,
who died a few days ago, travelled on business
till about 80 years of age. He was one of the
most celebrated characters in the kingdom for
punctuality, and by his methodical conduct, join-
ed to uniform diligence, he gradually amassed
a large fortune. For a long series of years
the proprietor of every inn he frequented in
Devon and Cornwall knew the day and the very
hsisor he would arrive. Some time since, a Gen-
tleman on a journey in Cornwall stopped at a small
ian at Port Isaac to dine. The waiter presented
him with a bill of fare, which he did not approve
Of, but observing a fine duck roasting, " I'll have
that," said. the traveller. " You cannot, Sir,"
replied the landlord ; " it is for Mr. Scott, of
Exeter." " I know Mr. Scott very well," re-
joined the Gentleman, " he, is not in your house."
True, Sir," said the landlord, " but six months
ago, when he was here last, lie ordered a duck
to be ready for him this day, precisely at two
o'clock," and to the astonishment of the travel-
ler; he saw the old Gentleman, on his Rosinaute,
jogging into the inn-yard, about five minutes be-
fore:the appointed time.

ORIGINAL l'ol.:Ttri%

THE DOVE, from ANACREON.

BY wm, PORDEN,
Tell one, tell me, gentle Dove,
Whence and whither do you rove,
Far diffusing through the sky
taltiiy odours as yen fly ;
Whence and whither do you rove,
Stay and tell me, gentle Dove ?
Me in haste to Phryne fair
Blythe Anacreon bids repair;
She whose blooming charms inspire
Every het-Ut with fond desire.
For a tender votive lay, •
Chanted in his artless way,
Mc, her much devoted
o the Poet Venus gave,
Now his fav'rite through the air,
I these amorous billets bear,
" Speed thee charming Dove," said be,
" Thy reward is liberty,"
Yet so sweet a life is mine,
I the promised boon decline.
Never will his duteous Dove,
Cease to serve hint, cease to love.
Would it ma delight to range
Over hills and valleys strange,
Roosting in the gloomy wood,
Dips and berries, wild, my food ;
Free front danger, free from care,
I Anacreon's plenty share.
Finest bread, my daily treat,
From his liberal hand I eat ;
From his cup sip rosy wine !
Oh! how sweet a life is mine !
Fasting first, with looks of love,
Drink, he cries, toy charming Dove.
Then, with spirits light and gay,
Many a wanton prank I play,
Now the bower I flutter round,
Now I ;.ainhol on the ground,
Now my sportive pinions spread,
O'er the laughing Poet's head,
'Till through all my frame I feel
Sleeps delicious torpor steal.
Then of every wish possess'd,
On his Lyre I sink to rest.

Stranger, all is told ; away
I have chattered like a Jay.
