THOUGHTS ON THE CELEBRATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.
[Tristen on the 4th Jsl,y, 1871
Again the natal day of Freedom shines,
Again the hearts of thousands, grateful rise,
1rom holy affairs and from martial lines,
In sweetest, loudest pans to the skies!
IIark the long peal the thund' FIRING cannon's
roar
The feu de ioie in long continued roll
While doubling drums, and martial music, pour
From thousand instruments to glad the soul
Rejoice Columbians! Freedom gilds your land
Withradiant, bright, yetmild gentle beam;
Your ndependence--gift of Gods own hand,
Should ever be your nations proudest theme.
Oft let your memory lead you to that hour
When foreign nations DER us held the rod;
When Slay'ry seem'd in threat'ning form to
low'r,
And nought SUSTAINED us, but our trust in God
Then-oh twas then, that He mainland our
cause,
Gave wisdom to the men, whose sacred trust
Was, to protect us from Expressions laws,
And plan the means to raise us from the dust.
To Him, "the SUPREME JUDGE" they made
appeal! 49,,
Nor did they make their bold appeal in vain,
He gave their hearts the frmness ofthe steel,
And guided with His hand the nations pen!
How long, how ardent, was the glorious strife
That well secured the rights that pen declared
His arm sustained and gave our nation life;
His mighty arm in our behalf was barred
Now-fve and forty years have wheeled their
round,
And Peace sits smiling Ger our happy land;
No foe to hurt or trouble US is found,
And Plenty crowns the labor of our hand
What then, Columbans, is the debt we owe
To Him, by whom these noble gifts are given /!
Is cold neglect our Benefactor's DUE
Shall thanks be paid to each kind friend-but
HEAvENl
o dare not, on this glad rejoicing day,
Oontemn His goodness and blaspheme His
name!
o let not madd'ning Riot bear the sway,
Pois'ning the heart-and cen the mortal frame !
O for a spark of that ETHEREAL fire
Which glowed in raptur'd David's thankful
song.
Like him how boldly would strike the Tyre,
And swell the anthem high, and loud and long !!
Praises should dwell in every tunefll string!
Praises to Him who led our armies on!
He that bears rule in Heaven is our King!
Truth, Justice, Mercy, still surround Histhrone |!
And while in songs of praise tuned my Tyre,
My heart should raise supplicating note,
That future generations might aspire
Totaste that freedom which our fathers bought.
Columbians! do you prize your Liberty'
And wish your happiness may still increase,
And hope you, that your children shall be free,
o then remember .--P1Err is PEACE,
PHILO PATRIE.

One of the blessings of slavery, as
stated by the people where it SO extens-
lively exists is, great refinement OF man
ners. 1t is but short time since a
South Carolina newspaper writer, when
remarking upon the publication alluded
to in the introduction of this article, en-
quired, if the editor Of the New York
Daily Advertiser had never met with any
of the accomplished gentlemen from
that part of the country. Probably the
same question may be put by the North
Carolina magistrates, whose names are
published in the foregoing advertise
ment. We have no disposition to de-
prive them of any or all the merit which
they, or any other person, may lay claim
to as set-off to such blood-thirsty
publication as this. CAN IT BE ENDuR-
ED, THAT FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD SHALL
BE OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES FOR

spirit which dictated this public notice,
and which would do credit to A cANNIBAL,
at all justified by the fact, if a fact it be,
that it is sanctioned by the laws OF North
Carolina, and is accompanied by the
signatures and seals of a couple of feace
o6icers9 What must be the state OF

is called a free government, 5oasting OF

POETRY.
HUMAN LIFE.

MAN is born to suffer. On the door
Sickness has set her mark and now no more
Laughter within we hear, or wood-notes wild,
As OF a mother singing to her child.
All now in anguish from that room retire,
Where young cheek glows with consuming
fire,
And Innocence breathes contagion-all but
one,
But she who gave it birth-from her alone
The medicine-cup is taken. Through the
night,
And through the day, that with its dreary light
Comes unregarded, she sits silent by,
Watching the changes with her anxious eye i:
While they without, listening below, above,
(Who but in sorrow know how much they
loye?
From every little noise catch hope and fear,
Exchanging still, still as they turn to hear,
Whispers and signs, and smiles all tenderness,
That would in vain the starting tear repress."
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-08-15

They dragged their companions info
the parlour, and having placed chairs
with their backs upwards, by means of
those they fitted the bodies out of the
windows, and afterwards took them
away. When the robbers retired, Sir
John returned to the house, and called
up a man servant from his bed, who
during this long and bloody conflict
had not appeared, and consequently re-
ceiyed from his master warm and loud
upbraidings for his cowardice. Sir
John then placed his daughter-in-law
and grand-child, who were his only in
mates, in places of safety, and took
such precautions as circumstances point
ed out till the daylight appeared. 1t
appeared in evidence on the trial of one
OF the robbers, that they were nine in
number, all of whom were armed, and
that two of them were killed and three
severely wounded in the conflict

Considerable agitation had arisen in con-

as his opinion that the people at Rio are
very generally inclined to adopt an indie
