WAVERLY NOVELS.

The editor of The Advocate, with
singular felicity, has just seen fit, pub
llckly, to retract an opinion he formerly
maintained, and in which we happened
for once TO agree with him, that Sir
Waiter Scott was not the real author Of
the celebrated Scotch novels, but that
DR.. Greenfield was This opinion has
lately been ably maintained in tree
essays by the editor Of the Minerva,
Mr. Houston, and we had selected them
for an early republication ---but we
have this morning met with the follow
ing extract from the preface Of The
forthcoming new novel from the pro-
lifck pen Of the same author, which,
we think, with the editor Of the Ma
iioaal Gazette, (who, by the way, has
hitherto been numbered among Sir
Walter SCOTS adyccates) puts an end,

POETRY


TO see the human mind oserturnad,
It's Hottest heights in ruin laid,
And reasons lamp, which brightly buFusd,
Obscur'd, or Quench'd in frenzy's shade
A sight like this may web awake
Our grief, our fear-for natures sake.
lis painful, humbling thought
To know the empire Of the mind,
With wit endow'd, with science fraught.
Is dieting as the passing wind
And that the richest boon Of Heaven
To man, is rather LENT than GIVEN.
To-day he sits on Reasons throne,
And bids his subject powers obey;
Thought. Memory, Will--all seem his own,
Come at his bidding, list his sway;
Tomorrow dominion hurl'd,
Madness pervades the mental world
Yet think not, though forlorn and drear
The Maniack's doom, his lot the worst
There is suffering more severe
Than these sad records have rehears'd:
IT'S his, whose virtue struggles still
In hopeless conflict with his viii.
There are, before whose meHtal eye
Truth has her chastest charms displas'd;
But gaudier phantoms, fiutt'ring by,
ne eIFlu1 mAtl0 nave SttiI DetEdy u
Till gathering clouds, in awful night
Have quench'd each beam OF heavenly Light.
There are, whose mental ear has heard
The 'sstiu small roies - yet prone to wrong,
Have proudly, foclishly prefer'd
The sophist's creed, the syren's song
And stak'd, upon desperate throw,
Their hopes above--their peace below.
There are, in short, whose days present
One constant scene of painful strife
Who hourly for themselves invent
Fresh conflicts till this dream of life
Has made their throbbing bosoms ache;
And yet, alas! they fear to wake.
With theirs compar'd, the Maniack's doom,
Though abject, must be counted blest j;
His mino, though often veil'd in gloom,
AT times may know vacant rest
Not so while thought and conscience prey
Upon the heart which Sights their sway.
o Thou! whose cause they both espouse,
la mercy bid such conflict cease
Strengthen the Weakening sinners VOWS,
And grant him penitence and peace
Or, else, in pity, Ger the soul,
The dark'ning clouds of madness roll

MISCELLANY.
from the Norfolk (vir.) Herald, May 49,

Prom the Norfolk (Vir.) Herald, May i2.l
a Serious Subject.
The inhabitants of the southern Sec
ton of Norfolk county, but more par
ticularly those in the neighbourhood of
the Great Bridge, have for some time
been kept in state of mind peculiarly
harassing and painful, from the too
apparent fact that their lives are at the
mercy of band of lurking assassins,
against whose fell designs neither the
power of the law, or vigilance, or per-
sonal strength and intrepidity, can avail
These desperadoes are runaway me-
groes, Commonly called out-iyers,) who
find secure retreat from pursuit 10 the
neighbouring swamps, in which most of
them have been all their lives employ
ed in cutting timber or getting lumber.
and with the dreary haunts of which
they are perfectly familiar. Their first
object is to obtain gun and ammunition,
as well to procure game for subsistence
as 10 defend themselves from attack, or
accomplish objects Of vengeance. The
Topography of this section of the coun-
try being calculated to favour their muir
.derous purposes, and TO shield them
from discovery, detection in the execu-
ton of their borrid purposes is almost
impossible, without an accident.
Several of the citizens of that part
Of the country, have, at different times,
been shot by these miscreants, while
quietly engaged in their occupations
some while riding along the pnblick
road at fsoon-day, others while at work
in their fields, or at the very doors Of
their dwellings and it was by the hand
of one of these merciless villains that
Mr.. VIM. Walker was murdered few
evenings ago, as we stated in former
paragraph--an act which has heightened
the agitation and alarm that previously
existed. and which imperiously calls for
some efficient steps to be taken for the
protection Of the lives of the citizens in
that quarter. No individual after this
can consider his life safe from the mur-
derlng aim Of these monsters in human
shape.-Every one who has haply rem
dered himself obnoxious TO their ven
geance, must indeed calculate on SOON
eror later failing victim to it. A gen
tleman at the Great Bridge, thus stu
ated, received, short time since, a
note from one Of the gang, cautioning
him NOT to appear out of his house after
night-fali, or he would certainly be
murdered. With knowledge Of the
perfectease and promptitude with which
this threat might be carried into execu-
ton we may readily imagine the effect
it produced on the mind Of the intended
victim, who, however undaunted he
may be, could see no possible means Of
safety by night, at least, but in the
sanctuary of bis dwelling.
Since writing the above, we are IN
formed, that large body of the militia
of Norfolk county are ordered on
tour to patrol the forests and swamps
which are understood to be the refuge
of this banditti. We sincerely hope
they may be successful in ferreting them
