tains of a young woman, who is supposed tC
have died broken hearted, is touched in ma
ny parts with uncommon tenderness.
British Criic. for December.
He seem'd to love her, and her youthful cheek
Wore fora whilo tI,c transient bloom ofjoy
And her heart throbb'd with hopes she coult
not speak,
New to delight, and new to ecstacy.
He won that heart in its simplicity
All undisguis'd in its young tenderness:
And, smiling, saw that he, and only he,
Had power at once to wound it or to bless.
She gave to him her innocent affection,
And the warm feelings Of her guileles:
breast;
And from the storms of life she sought protec
ton,
In his dear love, her home of earthly rest.
in this sweet trust, her opening days were
blest,
And .joyously she haiPd her coming years;
For well she knew that even if distrest,
There would be one kind hand to dry her
tears.
He left her-and in trouble she awoke
From her young dream of bliss; but muir
mur'd not
Over her silent sufferihgs, nor spoke
To any one upon her cruel lot.
You would have deem'd that he had been for
got,
Or thought her bosom callous to the stroke
But in her cheek there was one hectic spot,
Twas little-but it told her heart was broke.
And deeper and more deep the painful flush
Daily became; yet all distress seem'd DER,
Save when the life blood gave sudden rush,
Then trembled into silence as before.
At once too proud, too humble to deplore,
She how'd her head in quietness; she knew
Her plighted prospects could revive no more !;
Yet was she calm, for she had Heaven in view.
She lov'd, and she forgave him--and in dying
She ask'd blessing on his future years;
And so she went to sleep; meekly relying
Upon that Power which shall eface all tears,
Her simple turf the young spring fow'ret
wears,
And the pale primrose growsupon hertom ;
And when the storm its simple blossom tears,
Itbows its head-an emblem of her doom

La Siesta Scuores A deadly silence
is in all the streets; all the window shut
tiers are put up, or the curtains let down ;
even the most Industrious porter stretch
es his length on his mat, and falls asleep
at the fountain, with his pitcher behind
| him.
AT four O'Clock every body repairs to
the bull fight, to the canal, or the Prado ;
all is gaicty and merriment; one equipage
after another, full speed, to those places
of diversion.
The Puerto del Sol becomes as crowd
ed as before, and the water carriers and
orange women are all as busy as bees.
Thus passes the afternoon until the
dusky shades of evening close in at last.
Then all the bells again ring, and every
Spaniard says the prayer of salutation to

Now all hasten to the terrulias and
theatres, and in few minutes, the rat
thing of carriages once more resounds IN
every street. The lamps before the I'M
ages of the Virgin are already lighted;
the merchants and dealers have illumi-
mated their houses and shops, and sellers
of ice water and lemonade their stalls.
Every where are seen rush lights and
paper lanterns on the tables of fruit wo-

Meanwhile, the crowd on the square
has prodigiously increased, and it is soon
full. In one part, you hear the soft
sounds of the guitar, or senu fila; in
another, female balled singer, tells, in

turn from the theatres. 1t grows still
later the crowds begin to disperse--by
one O'Clock in the morning all the
streets are still and quiet, and only here
and there resounds a lovers solitary
guitar, through the more solitary gloom
of night. All else sleeps in the quiot re
pose which even nature herself enjoys
at midnight.

METHODIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

.Aezv- York, May 8.
Last evening the second anniversary of
the Missionary Society ofthe Methodist
EhiScohat Church was celebrated, in the
Meeting House in John street.
AT O'Clock the Rev. Bishop George,
one of the Vice Presidents, took the
chair and commenced the exercises, by
reading part of the 10th chapter of the
Gospel of St. Matthew.
The report was read by the Rev. Jo-
seph Soule. 1t was gratifying to the
friends of the Missionary cause to learn
from this interesting document, that al
though this society is still in its infancy,
much good has resulted from its labors
particularly among the Wyancotte tribe
of Indians many ofwhom, under the in
strumentallty of the Methodist Mission
aries, have forsaken the worship of gods
made by their own hands, and are now
worshipping the only living and true
God. Missionaries have been appointed
to labor among the Choctaws; and it is
intended to send more aid to the Wyan-
dOlteS.

NAPOLEON.

In the British House of Commons on
the goth OF March, Mr.. Hume moved
for an account attending the detention OF
Napoleon Bonaparte. He said that the
expenses of the year, 1919, agreeaby 10
an estimate in his possession, amounted
to 449, 674 pounds.-He called for CO.
pies of all the correspondence attending
his detention, and also moved for an &C.
count of what England had paid towards
the same for the last five years. The mo-
ton was agreed to.
Sir Robert Wilson said he was anx
ious to take the first opportunity which
presented itself ofprotesting in the most
solemn manner against the detention oil
Napoleon. "a laugh.) Gentlemen, he
said, might laugh, but he expressed the

imprisonment breach of faith, &c,
Mr.. Croker denied that England was
guilty of the slightest breach of faith to-
wards Bonaparte.
Sir r. Nilsson said no law of nations
could Justify his son being withheld

what Mithridates did to the Romans,

THE IRISH PEASANT.

Tie following passage occurs in an
artick on the state of Ireland, given in
weekly journal,
What iaat this instant the actual ST.
tuation of thu Irish Peasant He rents,
perhaps one, wo, or rarely three acres
from one abseitee landlord, to whose
agent he pays frop 81. to 81. rent an acre,
with proportionae sum in presents for
forbearance. He Rys the Catholic Pas
tor the duties of his'own religion. He
pays the Protestant Rstor the ,ithes of
the establishment. In pays stipulated
period of duty work to lis landlord and,
after deducting the valueof his labor and
his stock, he feeds, or rather starves, a
numerous family on the profits. Nor is
this all. The Clergyman, to secure him
self, lets his tithes at valuation to a
Proctor and the Proctor grinds the oc-
cupier for his equivalent The alb
sentee landlord lets to a middle man,
who lets again to the resident, laborer,
and thus the peasant, who occupies and
tils the soil, has to bear the extortion to
fourfold profit to the Clergyman and
the Proctor and the landlord and the
middle man, not to mention his fees to
the Catholic Priest, and his hush money
to the Protestant agent. The conse"
quence of this is visible. He lives in his
mud hovel in an actual state of nature.
His wife, himself, his children, and his
pig, associate together on terms Of COM
Portable equality-the same stye covers,
and the same potatoe feeds them.--The
unfortunate victim of this system thus
fingers out miserable existence; or,
sometimes finding even that impossible,
flies to the fatal chances of illicit distilla-
ton. With the goal of the landlord for
his rent on the one hand, and the goal OF
the government for the crime on the
other his morals become as desperate as
his fortune, and he plunges headlong into
any abyss of perjury too familiar to be
any longer frightful."

A laudable indignation was universal
ly manifested among our citizens, and
even among our blacks on Saturday last,
by the exposure of a woman and two
children for sale at public auction at the
front of our principal Tavern. This wo-
man and children were as white as any
of our citizens, indeed we scarcely ever
saw child with fairer or clearer COM
plexion than the young one. That they
were not slaves we do not pretend to
say 3; but there was something so revolt
ing TO the feelings, at the sight of this
woman and children exposed to sale by
their young master, it excited such an
association of ideas in the mind of every
one, it brought to recollection SO forcibly
the morality of slaveholding states
that not person was found to make an
offer for them.
The legal maxim of far. seq. vent.
has made them slaves for life, and the
same maxim will make the offspring of
these children slaves. Who can think
of this and not shudder? Can there not
be, ought there not to be, some limitation,
some bounds fixed to this principle?
| We trust we shall not see a second
attempt to sell them in this town.
