The composer Of the celebrated Strathspey cali.
led John Roy Stewards Reel, had been Quater
master in the Scots Greys and was sent with a
party to apprehend Mr.. Munro, Of Novar, sus-.
pected of secretly favoring the rebellion of 1745
- MRS Munro, like Madame Lavalette, determin.
ed to hazard AL to save the life of her husband
Though pregnant and momently expected to be
confined, she intfeated permission to accompany
him to prison; and in the middle of a lone moor
suddenly exclaimed that she must have some Of
her sex to attend her. She pointed in different di.
recons and Stewart, at her request, dispatched ak
his troopers, while he himselfkept close to Munro,
with loaded pistol in his hand. Mrs Munro, who
rode pillon behind her husband, soon cried out
that she and her child should perish, unless she
assisted to dismount Stewart replaced his pis-
to in the holster, and helped the lady to descends
but she clasped him so firmly in her arms, as to
allow her husband to ride OFF to place of safety.
Stewart having no witness to prove his innocence,
was afraid to join his regiment, apprehensive that
his obnoxious name might tend to more rigorous
sentence than he deserved. He therefore went over
to the rebel party, held ColonePs commission at
the battle OF Culloden and after the total defeat of
the Pretendcr, was concealed several months in the
north For some time, while hid in cavern, his
son brought him vctuals very early in the morning
or late night and as the path Of his retreat
Intricate, he generally met the child to receive his
provisions. The Royasts had Information that

necessity of sending considerable force against

SONG.

By Sir Walter ScOtt, (ri5nu6Eshed.)
Twist We, Irvine we, ever so
Mingle shades of Joy and woe,
Hope and fear, and peace and strife,
Weave the shl cad of human life!
While the mystic twist is spinning,
And the infants life beginning.
Dimly seen through twilight bendings
Lo! what varied shapes attending!
Passions wild, and foli.s vain,
Pleasures, soon exchanged for pai1s
Hope and fear, and peace and strife,
Form the thread Of human life!
American watchman. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1814-1822, 1822-02-22

Star of delight. the rosy sky
Sheds tears of Joy for thy return:
Around thy Car the breezes sigh,
Nymphs of thy train, the planets burn
All earth is gladdened by thy rays;
And every flower, and shrub, and tree,
Boasts fresher bloom, and grateful pays
A tribute of perfume to thee.
Day for thy partial smile contends;
Night boasts for her thy gloFies shines
Before thee tranquil pleasure bends,
And beauty whispers, " thou art mineo''
Yes, thou art beauty's friend and guides
Conducted by thy beams so sweet,
She wanders forth at even tide,
The chosen of her heart TO meet.
All grace she moves-with steps as light
AS raptufe's bliss, or fancy's dream;--
More soft her thoughts than dews Of night,
More pure than that unwaving stream.
Thy beams disclose the haunt of love,
Conspicuous mid The twilight scenes
For spring its leafy texture wove,
And welded roses TO its green.
Fair wapderer of the sunset hour,
Approaching TO The rudy west,
Where fairy forms prepare thy bower
With blooms from heavenly gardens drest.'
Behold the light that fills her eye,
The flashes DER her cheeks that move;
Can earth a finer sight supply,
Than loneliness improved by love-?
eyes far more Sne' rnethinks the while
l hear thy accents whisper low;
."Tis beauty, with her angel smile,
Inclning DER the couch of woe"

MAN.

MAN.
By Francis Beaumont, "A. D. 1910.
Like to the falling of star,
Or as the flights Of eagles are,
Or like the fresh springs gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning dew,
Or like wind that chafes the flood,
Or bubbles which on water stood:
Even such is man whose borrowed light
Is straight called in and paid to night
The wind blows out, the bubble dies;
The spring intombed in autumn LESS
The dew's dried TIP, the star is shot,
The Eight is past, and man forgot!

THE TRUANT HUSBAND.

THE TRUANT HUSBAND.
He comes mott have watch'd the moon 60 down
But yet he comes not-once it was not SO.
He thinks not how these bitter tears do flow,
The while he holds his riot in that town.
Yet he will come, and chide, and | shall weep;
And he viii wake my infant from its sleep,
To blend its feeble wailing with my tears.
o! how love mothers watch to keep
Over those sleeping eyes, that smile, which cheer:
My heart, though sunk in sorrow, fx'd and deep.
had husband once, who loy'd me---now
He ever wears frown upon his brow,
And feeds his passion on wanton's lip,
AS bees from laurel flowers poison sip;
Bot yet cannot hate---O! there were hours,
When could hang forever on his eye,
And time, who stole with silent swftness by,
Strewed, as he hurried on, his path with flowers.
loved him then--he loved me too--My heart
Still finds its fondness kindle, if lie smile;
The memory of our loves will ne'er depart;
And though he often sting me with dart,
Venomed and barbed, and waste upon the vile
Caresses which his babe and mine should share;
Though he should spurn me, 1 will calmly bear
His rnadness-snd should sickness, come and lay
Its paralyzing hand upon him, then
I would with kindness, all my wrongs repay, Until
The penitent should weep, and say,
How injured, and how faithful had been.
