THE VALE.
firing not here the din of arms;
Nor the flashing sabre blade;
the warrior's': shouting and alarms
Slut not with thii ciiiizt shade.
Bring not heie die din of war;
They who dwell these grc;ves among;
Belted warrior never saw,
Nor heard the stirring war,:song sung..

Plume ne'er WaVed amidst this shade,
Sword ne'er sho,ne,amidst thii brake,
Here the War-loree never neighed,
Nor war-boat skimmed across the lake
But the peaceful peaiant strays;
And the maiden's song is heard,
Arid the deer darts through the inise,'
And here sails the water-bird.

Go to cities, where yotfr farna.
All its guilty merit meets
Where your steeds, 'midst loud acclaiiii;
. Prance along the stone-paved streets ;
There receive from monarch's hand,
• And lady's smiles; the meed of strife;
The star, and commendation bland,
The purchase price of many a life.

There in spknded guilt remain,
But never to this, vale repair;.
Here's Religion's peaceful reign,
And the house of praiie and prayer:
Bring not here Ambition's pride,.
Tempt not any here astray;
In these happy shades we hide
From the bright, but baleful, ray.

He who, full of mercy, came
To redeem, and bless, and sdirei
With peace, to pour o`er Discord's flame
With hope, to triumph o'er the grave:
115 meek spirit rules us here—
And where'er his love is found;
There to God is holy fear
And affection all around.

Leave Ais, Warrior, peace is ours,
And a Saviour's dying love.-
We wish for nought beyond these bowers;
Save a heavenly home above
Happy—for we seek no ill;
And desire no earthly name ;
We would fain be happy still,
'Warrior—seek the crowd and fame.

ther, John Marshall, Esq., W. Lawson* Esq., T. Wybergh,

present at the great wrestling match on Wednesuay morning.
Few scenes could give, or ought to give, greater satisfaction.

DEATH By POISON.—On Tuesday )agt an In-
quest was held at Headington, on view of the body of James
Harris, a labourer. This was a ease which required considerable
attention, and the examination of several witnesses. Mr. Stock,
of Magdalen Hall, in this University, who resides at Heading-
ton, was Foreman of the Jury. It appeared from the evidence
of Mr. Wingfield, surgeon, and Mr. Rusher, apothecary,. of
Oxford, that the deceased died in consequence of taking cor-
rosive sublimate on Sunday, the 9th instant : but how he pro-
cured the sublimate could not be ascertained. He lingered in
extreme agony until Sunday last, on which day he died. From
the evidence given by Jane Harris,the wife of the deceased, and
other witnesses, it appeared that in May last she left her husband,
and cohabited forl about three weeks with Henry Hyatt, a la-
bourer, of Ileadington, a married man. Hyatt is a young
man ; her husband was only 31 years of age ; she did not leave
her husband on account of any quarrel ; she left Hyatt, and
went to her sister's, from whose house her husband fetched her;
he never afterwards reproached her. On Saturday, the llth inst. 1
she was returning from work with her husband, when Hyatt
came up to her and asked how she was, at which her husband
was much irritated, and challenged Hyatt to fight, who declined
it then, but said he would fight him at any other time. Harris
and his wife then .went home. No conversation passed between
them in going home ; he went up stairs, and said, " I will go
away," and immediately ran down stairs. his wife overtook
him, and locked him in; he then jumped out of the window, and
went away, but returned in a Outer of an hour, and went to
bed. Did not speak all night, but appeared much agitated and
distressed in mind. About eight o'clock the next morning she
asked hint to get up, and have his breakfast ; he refused. She
then went down stairs and fetched some milk, which she took
lip stairs. Shortly afterwards he said to her, " I have been and
took tome poison. She looked at hinn, and caw him with a cup
in his hand, which she took from him, but be had drank the
greater part of the contents.—Mr. Rusher was sent for, who ex-
idnined the remainder of the liquid in the cup, and found it to
be, as before stated, corrosive sublimate.—Elizabeth White, a
near neighbeur of the deceased, and one of the witnesses, stated,
that in her opinion " the deceased had not been in his proper
mind for some time," which was evidently occasioned by his jea-
lousy of Hyatt. It appeared also, by the evidence of other wit-
nesses, that the conduct of Harris had lately been very different
from what it had been previously to his wite's elopepent. After
the Coroner had simimed up the evidence, the Jury returned a
verdict, " That the deceased died in consequence of having
drank poison when a state of temporary insanity." The -Co-
roner then addressed Jane Harris in strong terms, pointing out
to her the gross impropriety of her conduct, which wag clearly
proved to have been the cause of her husband's premature
death ; and that, in fact, she was morally, though not in point
of law, .guilty pf murder. In this Address the Jury unani-
mously coincided, and it is hoped that it will produce some'
good effect an the mindand conduct of this misguided woman.—
