"lhe Noon IS ttp, and yet al is not night
Sunset dtv'des TIE sky tCih her."-Childe Har.
Dos, thou remember where thy love
Was first reveal'd TO me,
Twas here within the Mango Grove,
Beneath this hallow'd tree.
We had relinquish'd the retreat
OF yonder Plantain shade,
Whose broad leaves SHELTERED from the heat,
And fan'd us while they play'd:
Aud here, while wandering arm in arm,
We stopd to view the scene,
Der which the evening threw charm,
So blissfully serene:
These Coffee trees, with fowrets white,
Seem'd sprinkled DER with snow,
Their round tops, level to the sight,
Scarce mark'd each equal row:*
Its smooth trunk swelling to the sky,
fon towering Cotton tree,t
Aeav'd out its mighty arms on high,
In lonely majesty.
The sun had hid his latest ray,
Beyond yon tall Palm trees,
Whose waving plumes 81 graceful play,
10 every parting breeze.
The Ave-Maria bell had rung,
And, free from toll and care,
The Negroes round their master sung,
The Virgins evening pray'r.t
Through yonder tuft of Bamboos, peer'd
The rising silver moon;
And Hesp'rus twinkled, as she feara
To show herself too soon.
Cucali6s from their day-worn bed,
To hail the approach of night,
Were issuing from the trees, and shed
Their siiv'ry sparks of lght.j
On all we saw, the God above
Had set his heavily seal;
How could we then resist the love,
Twas impious not to teel'
Two Doves were billing OH the ground.H
No human soul was nigh;
saw thee, trembling, lcuk around,
And heard thee softly sigh:
pointed to the Doves, and prest
Thy shrinking hand in niue
And felt-ah, how supremely blest.
My own was prest in thine.
Oh, dearest, I can meier forget
That little age of bliss,
When first our lips with rapture met
In that soul-minglng kiss!
Oh yes! We were most happy then
But sorrows poison'd dart
Hath perc'd Us SO, such scenes again
Can ne'er such bliss impart.
How gloomy noiC appears the Grove!
How alter'd natures face.
Here, where we first exchanged our love.
We take our last embrace.
Farewell! sweet scene of past delight
ne'cr shall see thee more!
Farewell, dear grit! the breeze, Tonight,

On thee my memory oft will dwell

PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
A MAP

OF THE STATES or ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI, AND
THE TERRITORY OF ARKANSAS.
lVHSHE tide of emigration that has of late
Il years rolled to these countries, gives to
thea an Importance, not only to the people
of the United States, but Of Europe, which, il
is believed, renders it desirable that gra-
phical description should be made, which win
convey correct knowledge OF their local add
vantages.-persens living at distance have
hitherto had no adequate means of obtaining
precise or definite information respecting
them. The time has arrived when their great
natural resources are rapidly developing, and
when it is preceiyed, they are marked Out by
nature as places where capital and industry
may be employed, with certainty OF success.
In point oil climate they are not inferior, and
in point of mineral wealth and fertility OF soil,
they are scarcely equalied in any other section
of the union or CT the globe. Under these
impressions, the publisher solicited and OBJ
tanned the consent of the Surveyor General,
to have access to all papers IN his office, which
might be requisite in the execution OF the pre-
sent design.
The map will be made from actual survey,
the distances represented by scale of eight
or ten miles to 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 couptit 9,
towns villages, lead mines, salt springs, state
roads, boundaries of the states, and The lati-
tude and longitude will be correctly define
ated. The heads Of navigation Of those streams
within the country that have been surveyed,
will be designated by reference to The mar
gin OF the map. The large confirmed Spa
nish claims Will also be represented.
The map will be commenced immediately
and should the publisher be SO fortunate as 10
meet with liberal subscription, he VIII, as
soon as practicable have il completed.
The subscription for each map wiz be TEN
DOLLARS, with rollers and colorcd.
