large amount of specie exported by the AL

Our readers must have often heard of the
Blacksmith of Gretna Green, near The line
between England and Scotland, who has
r;;vetted the chains of numerous inconsi!er-
ate Young ladies and young gentlemen IN
the bonds of matrimony, three-tourths OF
whom have had some cause OF repentance
for their precipitation before the expiration
of the honey moon. A new workman IN
that way, John Foster, having lately
commenced business on the north side OF
the line, he was apprehenGed, tried, con-
yicted hy the Scottisbjudges, and sentenced
to Punishment from Scotland for HE. Mr..
Foster. unwilling to relinquish so lucrative
a trade, continues to perform the holy Of
fee of matrimony in boat anchored eX-
actIv IN the middle of the river Tweed,
there considering himseifas neither in Scot
land nor in England. The singulanty OF
the situation is SO Uncommon. that he gets
much more business than formerly. The

THE YELLOW LEAF.

Round flew the bowl, the laugh rose high
when summers richest canopy,
The bedded boughs of emerald dye,
Was all our shade.
So soft the air, so gay the plain,
Thousg, August's moon was in her war,e,
We said that Summers Joyous reign
Would never cease.
High rose the laugh, the transports swell,
When, sudden! potent as spell!
Detach'd by no rude zephyr, fell
One yellow leaf!
The mirth was hushed, the songster's lay
Broke short, and back N solemn gaze,
Hung on the leaf, nor dared to raise
A timorous lay.
Each fear'd upon his neighbor's face
His own sad thoughts pourtray'd to trace,
As the pale emblem spoke the race
OF Summer run.
II secm'd some fairy frcm the skies
Had seen our idle transports rise,
And, to unmssk life's treacheries,
The warner sent,
To tell us, that the scene might glow,
But soon should fade in cherries glow;
To tell us, that our life might know
An autumn too:
That joys but coming sorrows speak,
As Gains precede the tempest bleak;
That death its surest victims cheek
Blithe roses paint.
Yes, in that hour, and on that day,
Reflection stole my smiles away,
And, like him, weeping to survey
His myriad lands.
Methought ere many years go round,
Full many of US, who do this ground
Now gaily travel, viii be found
To meet again.
The young before the old may go,
And he who hears this measure flow
May fall perchance the first, to show
This moral true.
