POETRY.
DANIEL. BOON.

EXTRACT FROM TnE 8rH ctNTo OF DON JUAN,
BY Lard Byron.
Of all men, saving sylla the man.sayer,
Who passes for in life and death most lucky
OF the great names which in our faces stare,
The GENERAL Boon, back-woodslnan OF Ken
lucky,
Was happiest amongst mortals any where;
For killing nothing but bear, or buck, he
Enjoyed the lonely, vigorous, harmless days,
OF his old age, in wids OF deepest maze.
Crime came not near him-she is not the child
ofsoItude; health shrank not from hm-for
Her home is in the rarely trodden wild,
Where if men seek her not and death be
more
Their choice than life forgive them as beguiled
BY habit to what their own hearts abhor-
In cities Gagged. The present case in point |
Cite is, that Boon lived hunting up to ninety.
And what's still stranger, left behind a name
For which men yanly decimate the throng,
Not only famous, but of that good fame,
Without which gory's but tavern song
Simple, serene, the antipodes of shame,
Which hate nor envy e'er could tinge with
wrong;
An active hermit, even in age the child
OF nature, or the Man OF Ross run wild.
'Tis true he shrank from men even in his nation
When they built up unto his darling trees
He moved some hundred miles oft, for station
Where there were fewer houses and more
ease;
The inconvenience of civilization
Is, that ouneither canbe pleased nor please
But where he met the individual man,
He showed himself as kind as mortal can.
He was not all alone: around him grew
A sylvan tribe of children of the chase,
Whose young, unwakened world was ever new,
Nor sword nor sorrow yet had left trace
On her unwrinkled brow, nor could you view
A frown on natures or on human face
The fres born forest found and kept the III free,
And fresh as is a torrent or tree.
And tall and strong and swift, of foot were they,
Beyond the dwaifng city's pale abortions,
Because their thoughts had never been the
prey
Ofcare, or gain; the green woods were their
portions;
No sinking spirits told them they grew grey.
No fashion made them apes her distortions
Simple they were, not savage and their rifles
Though very true, were not yet used for trihes
a
Motion wasin their days, rest in theirslumbers
And cheerfllness, tie handmade of their toll
Nor yet 100 many nor too few their numbers
Corruption could not make their hearts her
sol
The lust which stings, the splendor which en-
cumbers,
With the free forester divide no spoil;
Serene, not su'len, were the soltudes
OF this unsghing people of the woods.

Jeffeys she stated that when she was SIX years old
She fell down with tea cup in her hand that the
cup was broken in the tall, and that the fragments
made large wound in the part near the chin that
the wound proved obstinate, and did not perfectly
heal 10 less than twelve months Acute pain in the
same side 1t the face almost Immediately followed
the accident. with irregular intermssons Mr. Jef-
freys being satisfied that the wound healed over a
piece OF the tea cup, the following day cut down
to the substance, which on being extracted proved
to be piece OF china tea cup, OF the size OF Horse
bean. Ihc operation occasioned very cute pain ;
but the moment the fragment Of china was remove ed,
she declared herself to be relieved from her accus.
toned pain. The wound healed in q short time,
and she renamed free from the disease. Mr. Moore,
