POETRY

From the Charleston Courier.
Lei us love while life is young,
And the vital stream is 6owingS
When the heart is newly strung,
And the tide of health is flowing.
let us pluck the Psphian rose,
When It's bud is first unfolding.
Ere its wither'd petals close,
In the misty darkness moulding.
Pluck it, when the morning dew
Wrinkles on the new blown fiowers
And the vernal sky Of blue,
Opens through the melting shower.
Pluck it, when the air is sweet,
And the winds no more are chilling;
Ehen the loving swallows meet,
And the soft ey'd doves are billing.
Love, in Lies delightful spring
You will find returning passion:
" BIT, till youth has taken wing
Love viii then be out Of fashion.
Ifyou have bosom, bright
Longer than the form around it.
Beauty never will reQuite
Love like that, but only wound it.

Just FROM Virginia,
jul bioaded Cot,
BLACK FOX.

YSNfliS much admired Young horse wiz stand
h the ensuing season at our stable in Belle
vile one half the time, and the other half at
the farm of the Rev Edward Mitchell, and
will be let to mares on the following terms,
viz: Four Dollars the season, if paid by the
lst July next; Six Dollars if paid cut of the
season, which may be discharged in good
merchantable pork, weighing l3e and up
wards, at the market price, If delivered in
Bellerille by Christmas next. Eight Collars
The ensurance.
A sincere desire to improve the breed of
horses in the state, was the principal induce
,nent in the purchase OF the Black Fox. The
same sentiment, together with the difficulty
OF The tines. has induced the subscribers 10
offer him to the pubic on the above accom-
modatng terms. We are bold to say that We
consider the Black Fox froni nose to tail the
best horse III the western states. He haa a
fine deep mouth with thin close shut lips; "a
large wide spreading nostrl: R.ll shining
spNSi,i. eye; an ear pointed and erect. In
short, 10 save ourselves the trouble OF further
description, we have the horse and can pro-
duce him, and we invite the pubic, we invite
the best judges to the most scrutnizing eAi-
mination, and defy the most severe critic to
discover single deficiency in bone, muscle,
snew, or proportion. Those who are fond of
caring fine horses, and fselling them for fine
prices, have now an opportunity Of accom-
phshing their wishes.
PEDIGREE.
The subscribers feel particularly happy in
having it in their power to offer to their fellow
citizens horse as uneXceptionable in blood
in form, and we have been much pleased
to observe IN increasing disposition duly to
appreciate this important quality OF a horse
The BLACK FOX was cot by the celebrated
horse Old Elegant; Elegant by Comet; Co.
met by Old Ceier. His dam in both form add
bloot. was among the finest mares that Virsi-
MIA ever produced. Her fret colt was the q.
mods Red Fox, horse well knownth through
out Virginia, and deemed invincible on the
turf. She was got by the old imported High
lyer her dam was imported from England
by Col. Tayloe, Of Virginia, and as got by
Wild Air; her grand dam by Traveller, and
her great grand dam by Old Eclipse.
Q-JThe season will commence on the goth
day of March, and expire Oh the 1st day OF
July.

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
A MAP

OF TIE STATES OF ILL Sois AND MISSOURI, AND
the TERRITORY OF ARKANSAS.
FtyHE toe 81 emigration that has Of late
4 years rolled 10 these countries, gives 70
them All importance, mot only to the people
of tie United States, bu, Of Europe, Which. Il
is believed, renders it desirable thHt a sra
phicai descr ption Should be made, which VIII
convey q correct knowledge Oh their local ao
,sutages.-l ersol4s living at a distance haEQ
hitherto bad no adequate means u obtaining
erec,se or definite information respecting
them. The time has arrived when their great
natural resources are rapidly developing, and
" hen il is preceived, they are marked out by
nature as places where capital and industry
may be employ ed, with acertalnty OF success.
lii point Of climate they are not inferior, and
IN point of mineral wealth and fertility OF soil,
they are scarcely equaled in any other section
OF The union OF of the globe. Under these
impressions, the publisher solicited and OBJ
,aiuet. he consent of the Surveyor General,
to have ACCESS to all papers IN his office, which
might be requisite Ia the execution OF the pre-
Sent des ign
The map will be made from actual survey,
the distances represented by "a scale OF eight
or ten miles 10 the inch. The extent OF coun-
try proposed to be described, extends six
hundred miles from north to south, by four
hundred from east to west. The countless
towns, villages lead mines, salt springs, state
roads, boundaries of the states, and the lati.
tude and longitude will be correctly define
aled. The heads of navigation OF those streams
within the country that have been survey ed,
will be desig mated by reference to The mar
gin 0, the map. The large confirmed Spa
nsh claims will also be represented.
The map will be commenced Immediately
and should the publisher be so fortunate as TO
meet with liberal subscription, lie will, as
soon as practicable have it completed
The subscription tor each map will be TEN
DOLLARS, with rollers and colored.

RECOMMENDATION
from tie Preachers stationed in Philadelphia, to
tie members and Friends Qfthc Church.
We the undersifned, do recommend to the
Ministers and Members of our Church partcu-
iarly, and to all persons friendly to the circula-
ton OF Religious literature and intelligence,
the proposed work, to be entitled the .Netho.
DIST Recorder" as promising, if it should obtain
sufficient patronage, to be work, which in its
object and design, is worthy oftherencourage-
ment and support. We think the design of
the work has special claims to their fostering
and supporting hand; and we trust it will be
sby and spiritedly sustained.
This is an age in which Religious Intelligence
is making rapid marches over the face Of the
earth, and appears to augur favorably, as to the
approaching improvement of the moral and re.
ligious condition of mankind: And we would
fam hope that no friend Of Zion would feel in
disposed to contribute towards this very desi-
rable object. We trust that the proposed pa
per will meet with support as well from those
Who reside without the limits of the Philadel.
mia Annual Conference, as those who reside
within them
