THE MOSS ROSE.
[sRom TIE GERnAN.l
The Angel of the flowers one day,
Beneath rose tree sleeping lay.
That Spirit--to whose chargers given,
To battle young buds in dews from HeaVen'--
Awsking from his hight repose,
The Angel whispered to the rose -
go fondest object of my care,
Still fanest found where all are FAIR,
For the sweet shade tnou'rt given to me,
Ask what thou wilt, it's granted thee
" Then, F." said the rose, with depend glow,
9. On me another grace bestow."
The Spirit paused IN silent thought,
What grace was there that flower had not
Twas but moment-o'er the Rose
A veil of moss the Angel throws,
And rolrd in nature simplest weed,
Could there flower the rose exceed?

"raE OLDEN TIME"

Captain Kidd, ESQ memorable in
history,) who was a pirate during
the reign Of King William. has also
found his way into our colonial re-
cords. According to Smol'ett. the
colonies of North America had
grown rich by piracy during the
war with Spain. Kidd had offered
tn suppress these treeb0Oters. prOvi'
ded government woIild furnish him
with a ship of so guns; and the adj
miralty being either unwilling or un-
able to afford him the proposed aid, a
private subscription was set on foot
bv the Lord Chancellor, the Duk OF
Shrewsbury, the Earls Of Romncy.
Oxford, aud Bsllamont, Sir Edward
Harrison, and Col. Livingston, OF
New York. The king had promised
to contribute one half OF the expense.
reserviug to himself one-tenth OF the
profits; but he never advanced the
money. Kidd thus equipped, set
sail from Plymouth, and soon alter
turned pirate himself. He divided
the betty which he had taken in the
East Indies with his crew, burned
his own ship. and sailed in prize
he had captured to the West Indies.
There he purchased a sloop, in
which he steered for North America.
When he arrived on the coast Of
Now York. he sent one Emmett TO
make his peace with Bellamont, the
Governor Of the province, who in
weighed him into negotiation, and
caused him to be arrested. Eventu-
ally he was taken to England. and
there tried for piracy and murder, in
1901, and executed.

From q Bdrbadoes Paper.


Lately, slave in one of the neigh
boring islands, who had been mar
ried to another slave by one OF the
missionaries, at the end of three
weeks brought his wife back to the
clergyman, and desired him to take
her again. The clergyman asked
what was the matter with her.
"Why, Massa, she no good. The
book say she obey me. She no wash
my clothes; she no do what | want
her to do" The minister replied,
"But the book said you were to take
her better for worse" Yes, mas
SO, she all worse and no better. She
bad too much, aud no good at ALL
A clergyman. now in the habit of
preaching in different parts of the
country, was mt long since at an inn,
where he observed a horse Jockey
trying to take in simple gentleman,
by imposing upon him a broken
winded horse for a sound one. The
parson knew the bad character of
the jockey. and taking the gentle
man aside, told him to be cautious of
the person he was dealing with. The
gentleman finally declined the par
chase, and the jockey, quite nct'led,
observe ell, " Parson, had mach IA

During his piratiCal career he vi
sited Coeymans and Albany, and had
secret place of retirement on or
near a Hill about two miles south of
Albany, (and which still bears his
name, viz. Kiddenhooghten, or, as it
is improperly called, Hittenhooghten.)
That dill, according to tradition, he
adopted as place Of rendezvous tor
those Internal spirits to whose care
he entrusted the enormous sums Of
money which he buried in the earth !;
and there it is said also, that he
made q cave, which is now hidden
from human observation, in which
he buried thirty boxes of gold, and
laid upon them thirteen human bodies
| Of those whom he had murdered, III
| order to serve as talismam against
the pryins curiosity of such as were
in search of hidden treasure.
Mrs, Gcewey, the wife OF Gerrlt
Goewey. grave and elderly matron,
af1irms, that her mother, who lived
to q very advanced age, has fire.
aucntIy stated to her, while a mere
girl, that Kidd remained at Coey-
mans during part of two seasons, Sc
creted in barn belonging to one OF
the name of Coeymans, and after
wards in mill called Livingstone
mill. Whether these stories can be
relied upon for their accuracy, | will
not undertake to say; but this much
can be stated with truth, that it ap-
pears from the records, that on the
cath of March, 1851, Captain Kidd
complained to the governor and
council of New York, that one of his
men had been pressed from the YES
sci by Captain Hicks, and the COVER
nor and council ordered, "upon the
consideration of the good service
performed by the said Captain Kidd,
pot only to their maiesties' forces,
put others, their majesties' good sub
tjects," hat the man be restored to
him. On tho 18th Of August, 1891,
he brought a prize into the port OF
New York, and the governor and
council resolved, that "payins the
kings tenths, and the governors
tifteenths," no Other duty be paid for
the prize.
Would not the Piratical deeds per-
formed by Kidd. the treasure lie has
buried, and the incantations he has
performed i'm those midnight orgies,
which were celebrated by him and
his kindred spirits. form as good a
foundation fur an historical novel as
any contained in the Waverly novels,
