"When late saw thee fair as young
What tender thoughts were in each feeling,
AT every word that left thy tongue
/ felt new wishes DER me stealing
But now, sweet maid, Ills vain pursuing,
/ will not wed--I am not wooing.
Thy form was all my taste could wish,
Each line was traced with Grecian beauty,
How oft gazd at thee my PSYCHE, t
And sigh'd. while love prevaiId DER duty
So far and fond, SO warm and true!
Cease, lovely vision, to pursue.
An eye where all the loves were peering,
mouth where all the graces hid them
A voice meodious to the hearing,
Rais'd many hopes and yet forbid them.
Cease, cease, my heart, thine idle beating
O'er hopes so treacherous and fleeting.
And though now may never more
Love any other SO sincerely,
The sweets of fame, the charms of lore,
Shall save the heart, that lov'd thee dearly
No womans smile shall e'er undo me
Cease, lovely vision, to pursue me

For me, my days are gone
No more shall in vintage times prepare
Chaplets TO bind my hair,
AS was wont. Oh! twas for you alone
But on my bier I'll lay
Me down in frozen beauty, pale and wan.
Martyr of love to man;
And like broken flower, gently decay.

THE YELLOW LEAF.

The yellow leaf has fall'n,
And the stubbIe braes are brown
The mountain burns are roaring,
And the swallows a. are flown;
The school boy with his fellows,
Covers in aneath the lea,
And wide and wild. Ger the bleak dry land,
Flies the gray gull irae the sea.
But it's no that summers fed the bower,
Nor the stumble fields are brown,
Nor for the hill burns roaring,
And a. the birds that's flown,
Nor yet to see the school boys,
Stand covering in the lea,
That my weary heart is pressed with dule'
And the tear is in my ee.
But a because see no more,
BY bower, or, burn, or brae,
The rosy look and the cheerful eye,
That sunn'd my summer day;
Tie fairest face that eer saw,
Lies with the gather'd Towers
The leelest friends that e'er knew,
Are gone like sunny hours.
The foreign turf in far far land,
Grows Ger my brothers tomb;
My sister dear, that loved me best,
Sits In foreign home
And low beneath yon lone grave stone,
My kindly father sleeps
And all alone in yon sad bower,
My widow mother weeps.
o We may fill the CHEEKY bowl,
And troll the catch and glee,
And spare ma of your merry wine,
And merry We may be;
But no song that e'er was sung,
Nor bowl of merry wine,
Can cure the pain that's in my breast,
The pam, 0 Time that's thine. G.B

g Cold drops the tear, which blazons common woe;
What callous rock retansits crystal rill
Meier will the sofen'd mould its liquid show,
Deep sink the waters that smooth and still.

And Memory gave herbeaueous frame sigh,
While Feeling triumph'd in my hearts warm blood,
Grief drank the off ring ere it reached the eye.

Capt. Perry reports, that great NOR
tality had existed on the coast O! Africa,
during the last year; and that it was
supposed, upwards OF two thirds of the
white European and American Emigrants
had died. The British Cruizers had al
81 suffered very severely, particularly IN
officers
The Shark buarded great many
Guineamen, on the coast, some OF whom
she detained considerable time. One
of them was French schooner of 78
tons, with l53 slaves on board.
1t was supposed, upon the most mod
crate calculation, that the trading vessels
v b;cb had been boarded on the coast, by
an English cruizer, during the month Of
July. would carry offat least 5000 slaves.
In August and the two following months
10 or Is other Guineamen appeared Oh
the coast, principally under the French
Aag. and were preparing to send their car
goes on shore tor slaves.
Cap, Perry informs. that Matanzas

Early in October deputation arrived

etan Priest and his wile. This singular
man had j0urneyed all the way from T.

said he possessed important information
relative TO the Geography of the interior
OF Africa, but so much caution was OBJ.

We feel a pleasing pride for human
nature in recording an instance of Juve-

ity, which occurred in this city few
DAYS ago; and sincerely wish that all
parents would improve the hint, for in-
sitting early into the minds Of their chill

a lady had humneiv undertaken 70
solicit relief Tor a poor family living liz
HanoYer. street, under the following dis
tressing circumstances An inlirm fe-
male, aged eighty.sis, with her grand
daughter, child OF IL years, are entire
ly dependent upon the feeble exertions
OF a middlc aged woman, daughter of the
former, and who is employed at slop-
work, making pautaloons at the rate Of
eight cents pe' PAR.
This hard earned pi,tance does but
Iust suffice to procure the single article
Of bread for these helpless, but unrepin-
ing, sufferers whilst they are misera-
bly, deficient in every other necessary of
food, raimcnt, bed clothing, and fuel, u.
this inclement season.
The above named lady, having acci.
dentally met with an acquaintance in a
confectioner's shop, stated to him the
teplorable situation of this unfortunate
f,mily in the hearing Of a small boy, ap-
parenlly about 10 years Of age, who was
waiting to exchange his little treasure
for something nice. The child listened
attentively until the recital was cWclu-
lied when he slipped quarter Of dol.
lar into the lady's hand, and instantly
ran out OF the shop!

DETROIT, Dec. %.
Execmion. .---Yesterday hc.tau-&oh
ard Re.qpa.bis. kun, the Indians Who
were sentenced to death a, the last Sep
tonber session Of our supreme court, the
former for the murder OF Doct. VIM. ).
Madison, and the latter for The murder
of Charles Ulrick, were, agreeably 10
their sentence, hung by their necks until
they were dead.
The lst Keg't. of territorial militia,
und.r ainis, and guard OF u. ,. troops
attended the execution. The spectators
we're very Dumerohs-not\ many OF
whom had ever witnessed similar scene.
The Indians, since their trial, often
acknowledged that they deserved the
punishment to which they were sentenc-
ed--and. in their own way, had prepar-
cd themselves to MEET their fate. For
several weeks past they appeared very
anxious TO obtain presents OF tobacco,
pipes, &c. none OF which they used, but
carefully laid them aside as an offering to
the Great Spirit ON the day OF their
death. They had co..ived a sort OF
drum, by drawing piece of leather ov-
er the vessel that contained their drink,
and often engaged IN their solemn death
dance. On the night previous 10 their
execution, they continued their death
dance to very late hour, and commenc-
cd it again early in the morning They
had been presented, among other things,
with some red pain,-with this they
painted on the wall of their cell nume-
rous figures Of men, qnadrupeds, and
reptiles, &c. on their blankets were al
so painted many fgures-among the
rest, an Indian hanging by the neck,
was observed.
From the fail they were taken to the
Protestant Church, where an appropriate
discourse was delivered to the assem-
base by MIR. ]. S. Hudson, Zone of the
gentlemen belonging to the Mission fam
ivy They were then taken to the gal
lows. They appeared throughout the
whole Of the solemn preparatory steps to
be perfectly collec,ed--they walked
firmly to the gallows, and previously to
ascending to the uop, shook hands with
the Rev. Mr.. Ianvier, MIR. Hudson, the
Sheriff and Marshal, and several othe'
gentlemen who stood near them. They
assembled the steps OF drop in a manner
peculiarly hrm--after which, they asked,
through the interpreter, the pardon ol
tbs surrounding spectators, tor the crime
they had committed. They then shook
hands and gazcd on the assemblagc and
on the heavens, waen their caps were
drawn over their faces, and they were
launched into eternity
