Translation Of SIN Ode LID. Of Horace
What slender youth beneath the ros,
shade
Upon thy bosom leans his Nitrous head
Bedropping swce,s-or, in some cool al
cove,
lncessant urges thee with eager love
For what new conquest dost thou now
prepare
So negligently neat thy tressy hair
Alas how often shall he curse his
fate,
Thy broken vows and unexpected hate
How will be stare awakened with sur
prise rise,
To see the sudden tempest round him
Who, still accustomed to the flalteripg
breeze,
Believes thee ever calm and only his.
Wretched are they who, ignorant Of thy
wiles, smiles /;
Trust TO thy looks, and live upon thy
To Neptune have paid my rites divine
And hung my native tablet at his shrine.
And once escaped the wreck, l'll ne'er
again
Provoke the storm, or trust the CLASSY

Baron LiDdeDsu has recently published
some observations respecting the diminu-
ton Of the solar mass. 1t will be found,
he says, that the sun may have been inn
perceptibly subject to successive diminu-
ton since the science OF Astronomy has
been cultivated. The Baron supposes
the suns diameter to be 100000 miles
4,2O4, 100000 feet, or nearly 5000 Sec
onds. We have not,he observes, hither-
to possessed any instrument for messur-
ing the diameter Of heavenly bodies to a
second. The sun may therefore dimin-
ish 10000 miles Of its diameter,or 2,162,
900 feet without the possibility OF its be.
ing perceived. Surprising the sun to di-
ninish daily Two feet, it would require
5000 years to render the dimiuntion of a
second Of its diameter visible.

INDIAN JUSTICE.

The following facts have been commu-
nicated TO us by respectable gentlemen
from Miller coupty:-
A Choctaw Indian, calling himself DR.
Sibley, and belonging to a wandering
tribe of that nation who have resided in
The Deighborhood of Red river for some
years past while in state of intoxicatioD,
stabbed another Indian to the heart, who
Immediately expired. After the murder,
brother OF the deceased Indian came TO
Sibley, and told him that he must have
revenge for the death of his brother by
taking his (Sibley's) life. To this propo-
sal Sibley,r readily assented, and proposed
that his execution should take place on
The following morning, which was also
assented to by the other party. In the
meantime, Sibley was kept under no res
traint whatever, but was permitted his
freedom as usual, without showing the
least disposition to make his escape
When the morning arrived on which he
was to suffer death, Sibley went out
with the rest Of the party, and aided in
digging a grave for the deceased Indian.
After it was finished he observed to the
party that he thought it large enough for
both of them 10 lie in, and signiGed a
wish to be buried in the same grave
This not being objected to,he placed him
self in standing position over the grave,
with his arms stretched out, and gave the
signal to fire when the brother Of the de.
ceased Indian placed rifle to his breast,
and discharged its contents through his
heart. He dropped into the grave and
Instantly expired. Southern PAR.

Letters from Washington mention that
abe Russian Emperor has receded from the
ground taken respecting the Jurisdiction Of

wisely rev okcd his famous Ukdse on the

The matter; because wc can scarcely ae
