The Mabrattas divide their army into three
diviiions. The light troops and rocket men are
put IN advance, under the command of the hol-

tantamount to that of commander in chief.
Thisdivihon is termed the Cherryfoudgc. The

Boonga.

FROM THE NJ I. EVENING POST.
@s--.sS

Poem has lately been publifhed in Salems
entitled the Pozver Of Solitude, i'm two parts, by
J. STORY, which by the delicacy of its tenti-
ments, and melody of its verfe, promiies to OBJ
tain for the author A very comfortable fflare of
applaufe. The deign of the work, fays the
writer, is lefs to exhibit descriptions of rural
life and local icenery, than to mark the influence
OF folitude upon the pafiions and faculties of
mankind. He begins with recounting the plea
lures of retirement, and undertakes to thew that
| the tender aud fublime emotions of the foul
when repoing in the fhades of folitude are deri-
we'd from that principle of af1ociation and fym-
pathy which nature has implanted in the human
breaff. The Poem begins
Der the dim glen when autumns dewyray
Sheds the mild luture of retiring day,
While fcarce the breeze with whfpering nurmer
flows
To hymn its dirge at evenings placid clofe
When awful filence holds her fullen reign,
And moonlight fparkes on the dimped main;
Or thro' fon,e ancient, folitary tower
Difport loofe fhadows at the midngh, hour;
Whence flows the charm thefe hallowe6 fcene, i'm,
part,
To warm the fancy, and affect the heart,
Why fwells the breah, alive at every pore.
With throbs unknown, with pains unfet beforei
Why turns the reftlefs glance every lide
In grateful gloom, or melancholy pride!
Thoughts airy fprites in many circles wing,
On the fine nerves impress trembling thrill,
And move obedient to the wakeful will
Till memorys trains in fyvft fucceffion rife,
And round RETIREMENT blend harmonic dve,
Another obfervation of the Poet is that focal ene,
are incapable of attending confoaton to the heart in
the unfortunate incidents of life, in disappointment,
forrow and defpair.
The lovely maid, whole native virtues flow
Chaffe, as the airy web of printefs fnow,
IT in fad hour, the prey of treacherous toll,
Her rifed honour fall fone plunderer's fpoil.
How vain the hope to hide from public fame
Her deep contrition and ingenious fhamei
Where'er me turns, the circied crime prevails.
In fmies reproaches, and in fneers afIails.
And, like fome troubled ghoR, in thin difpuife.
The pointed infut meets her downcaf ewes.
In vain may eloquence in mercy plead
To fPare the perfon, yet deteff the deed,
Ungenerous cenfure dooms to deadlier WOO
The wretch, who fufered, than who dealt the blow.
Poor wandering outcaf, tho with arrowy fway
Imb,tered memory haunt the fatal day,
When life's bright vions with pollution fed,
And virtue iickened with the tears fhe lhed;
No more returned the fcenes of fefive mrth.
When youth and fancy cheerei the focal hearth.
Or, tript with truant teps the verdan. heath,
To watch the funbeam, as it bluhed in death:
Yet hall meek SOLITUDE with temperate fway
Gid the deep lhade, and light the coiing day.
Lull the keen pangs, thy bleeding breat that tore,
And hallow tranfports, life can ne'er rehore.
