POETRY.
From sle Bosten Telegraph.


It was a weeping willow, and it grew
In lonely beauty on the verdant bank
Ola bfi ght riyulet, whose crystal wave
Came ripping DER the pebbles, and in smiles
Threw back the sunbeams. and reflected forth,
AS from mirror. the white fieecy clouds
That sail'd above it, and the azure sky,
And all the flowers and herbs along its sides,
That stopped to kiss its waters In the shade
Or that same willow have loved to sit,
And hear the birds OF summer warblng tast
Their notes of merriment; and when the
z breeze,
Moved its thick pendant branches, have
watch'd
g,he sunheams on the waters, like the light
OF hope and gladness glaneing on the course
OF human life.
There came sudden storm,
Just like the thousand tempests that 60 by,
And straightway are forgotten, and there came
A fash of lightning, like the thousand steams
That blaze athwart the clouds OF summer. yet
'rhe sudden storm and the more sudden flash
Are not forgotten by me, FOR they striPt
.Fhe willow of its beauty, and they lett
Its tall trunk SCARF d and spinter'd. And even
When pass'd by and mark the scars and
count
The old decaying branches. and the twigs
That bloom in mournful verdure on Its side,
] do remember well that sumner storm,
And that keen fash of lightning.
Evens SO
This mage was once without spot or stain,
.Orspeck to mar It's beauty, and 1t shonc
In all It's whiteness,-til stranger came,
Who passed ike other strangers, save 'na'
here,
In these dun lines and uncouth characters
He left his rude memorial and his name

DEAF AND DUMB.

DEAF AMI III IVA ID.
The eighth Report of the American
Asylum for the deaf and dumb. at
Hartford. Conn. contains several spe-
cjmens of composition by the pupils,
from which we extract the following,
written by a young lady of s7 years
of age, giving some of her opinions
before she had received instruction:
What I thought Of the Sun, Moon, and
Stars before i came to the Asylum.
7 wished to hook at the sun, which
was very brilliant, as the gold. but
j could not see it. Thought the sun
was like a man who was a soldier.
He wore his crimson dress, and
stood on the sun, while he governed
over all mankind every day. | was
much troubled by the heat of the sun.
/ told my sister that he was very
cruel to us, and I wanted to touch
him; but / was disappointed. because
I was too far from him. While the
sun was coming up, ! pursued to
catch him in the east. but | could not
do it. / believed that he was very
artful. Twas playing in the garden
in the summer without bonnet; my
friends told me that he would make
me black, and I did not believe about
It. There was reason that he could
make the brown cloth on the grass
white. They were excited to laugh.
In the afternoon, the clouds began to
become very black, and / cOnsi.
dered that the sun was melted with
the lightning. The thunder was
heard, and 1 could feel it. He threw
a large ball. going down the sky.
Then the sunset was running under
the earth, and he became the moon
all night. In the morning he held a
large candle, which was hot all day,
while he was walking towards the
west. L sat on the door of the house
in the evening pleasantly, and look
ed ND at the new mooa going down
the west.
A few days ago, when | was walk
inc alone to the neighbOrhood, the
half moon followed me, and did not
wish her to come. l thought I was
deaf and dumb. and she was very Gu.
rions. The moon was f9ll. and be-
came the darkness in her.race like a
picture. | asked my friends what
was the matter with her. They said
that they did not know what. When
/ went to my chamber, | extinguish-
ed a caadle, and was afraid of her,
and | shut the window all night, be-
canse I disliked TO be seen by her.
] was very anxious to take refuge.
= advised her not to'follow me, bat
she was still obstinate. When it was
dark. the moon would not come up
all night, and l was glad to hear Of it.
There were many stars in the sky
which was very pleasant. Why did
they stay there9 talked with my
soul. and il was necessary that they
lived. went out of the house, aud l
contemplated that they had large
parties pleasantly in the evening.
fhey were riding, while they held
their beautiful candles with their
eyes.
When I was a girl, 1 frequently
vent away, and was struck to look
ND a star which was going Into lire
with fear; | thought it was like a
gun, and I ran and entered to call
INV sister to see the star. / asked
her what was the matter with 1t.
She answered that it would kill me.
7 was very afraid oft, and | told her
tnt | would go away no mere IN
the evening. 1 lOokedl up the sky,
and called my friends 20 see inc

vHore Fishermens taken.-The schooner Rebec
ca, belonging to Capt. Wass of Columbia, and
schooner ---,.Clark of this port, were taken few
days since, off Grand Manan, by the British qua
brig Dotterell, the former of which sent to St.
John, and the latter made tender of, the better TO
modest our fishermen. The schooner Gsleon, of
Lubec, was chased into port by the briggs tender.
and schooner Reindeer, of the same place, had sew
era shot fired through her sails, but escaped. All
the above vessels were from to Is miles from any
shore, therefore, not violating the treaty which re-
stricis them to within miles. Not long since
another vessel, belonging to Lubec, was taken and
ordered in, but was retaken by the skipper and
rived safe home.-We have had occasion, before.
to notice similar outrages upon our fishermen, by
British armed vessels, and hoped there would not
be repetition Of them. But it seems that
treaties are not binding that law and justice is
regarded, for our fishermen not only captured
on the high seas, but boats pursued even to our
shores and there taken. We can not view this sys-
tenn Of plumber in so favorable light as the pira.
cies committed off Cape Antonio. Depredations
of this nature we trust our Government will not
submit to, and hope that part of Com. Porter's
squadron will be sent TO this quarter, to hunt the
Pirates in our Bay, who are as troublesome as those
in the West Indies.

oner at the ensuing election, adopt this method oil
contradictng report which could only have origi-
mated in design to mislead the public, and injure
my prospects. My advertisement is still before the
public, and to that beg leave to refer my friends
and supporters. If have not traversed the country
to solicit personally the sufrages of my fellow citi-
zens beg them to believe, that it is not owing to
any disrespect for them, but to the poverty Of my
circumstances which forbids my mourning the ex-

upon the unbiased good sense of my fellow citi-
zens and trust that they will not permit themselves
to be influenced by the misrepresentation of inter-

The editor Of the Delaware Gazette Ia federal
paper) makes the following remarks the subject
of the probable choice of electors, in Maryland;
We have but little information respecting the
relative strength Of the different candidates in the
districts the Western shore; but the fourth is
said to contain decided majority for Mr.. Clay.
1t is, however, considered highly probable that as
there is no prospect of his election, the vote will
lgo for Mr.. Crawford. On the Eastern shore the
strong probability is that Mr.. Crawford will obtain
the vote of the three lower districts: and the up
per one is quite uncertain"
-four answer to the above shall be brief.-The
editor is disposed deceive he is grossly ig
norant of Presidential affairs the Eastern, as he
acknowledges himself TO be on the Western shore
of Maryland. The truth is, we have direct and
positive information Of the very best kind from all
the electoral districts and it fully authorizes to
say, that .Nr. CRAWFORD aUiN NOT obtain single
uote IN the state ! The voice OF Maryland is de-
cidedy and unequivocay for JOHN Quincy A.
