Our Arab tents are rude Tor thee
Bnt, oh the chaice what heart can doubt,
OF tents with love, or tbrones without
Our rocks are roush-but sinking thsre
III acacia waves her yellow hair
Lonely aud swcct, nOr ios'd the less
For iioweriug in wilderness.
Our sands are bare-but down their slope
The siiyery footed antelope
As gracefully and gaily springs
As DER the marble ccurto kings.
Then come-Thy Arab maid WILLIS
The lov'd and lone acacia-tree;
The antelope, whose feet shall bless
With their light sound thy LONELINESS.
oh there are looksand tones that dart
An instant sunshine through Ale heart,
As II the soul that minute caught
Some treasures it through life had sought
As IL the very lips and eyes,
PredeStind 10 have all our sigbs,
And never be forgot again,
Sparkled and spoke befoTeus then
So come thy ev'ry glance and tone
VIXEN first on me they hreath'd and shcns
New, as II brought from other spheres,
Yet welcome, as ii iov'd for years.
Then fiy with me-if thou hast known
No other flame, nor falsely thrown
a gen away, that thou hadsl sworn
Should ever in thy heart be worn.
Come--if the love thou hast for me
Is pure and fresh as mine for thee
Fresh as The fountain under ground,
when nrst tits by the lapwing found.
Bit II for me thou dost foTsake
Some other maid, aud rndely break
Her worshpp'd image from its base,
To give 10 me the ruin'd place;
Then fare thee well. I'd rather make
NJ sows upon some icy lake,
When ,hawing suns begun 10 shine,
Than trust to love so false As thine.

During the last fortnight, the weather i'm
this district has been favorable to Aericul-
ture; warm, with occasional rains. The pro-
gress of vegetation has accordingly been very
rapid. Wheat sown about the middle of MAY,
begins to shoot out III ear. Our reports from
different parts of the District are rather favor
able than otherwise. We think, generally,
that vegetation is farther advanced than at the
same period last year.

but she had sailed few hours before for Sto-
nlngtoD, having been seized by the Surveyor
of that port. An affidavit was taken at Sto-
nington from the person who calls himself
prize-master, in which he states, that she is
the Spanish schr. ST. Martins, from Cadik, and
was captured May 4, outs days. That FIVE
days after, the prize crew forcibly took the
command from him, but after a few days, he.
Ing unable to navigate the vessel restored him
the command on condition of his proceeding
10 the Chesapeake. On arriving off the Capes,
the command was again taken from him, and
the schooner steered along the coast until they
arrived of Block Island, on Saturday last.when
pilot came on board. aud the schr. came to
anchor. The crew then broke open the hatch
es, and commenced selling the cargo TO the in

Only 20 pipes was on board the vessel when

per pipe. The cutter found concealed on the
Island Z pipes of brandy, and some raisins,
