"why," answered the Colonel, looking
at him a,tentively, g believe that have
seen you before, but yet, it cannot be;

What" said the Indian in an angry
tone, "do you not recollect Ben Pie, the
young Mohawk, who once saved you from
the tom hawk and scalping knife of par
ty OF Canadian Indians, who had surroun-
ded you when you had gone out on
scouting party to make observations on
the position and strength Of the enemy
Have you forgot, that, with ten of our
tribe, destroyed them all and rescued
you :" g Oh yes, yes" said the good Co.
lionel, rising suddenly from his chair and
shaking him warmly by the hand, g do
perfectly we'll remember all you say, and
can never forget it. But Ben," said he,
drawing him nearer the fire and giving
him glass of cider, "what has made
such a great alteration in your appear
ance? a few years ago thought you were
one OF the mildest and finest looking In
dians ever saw; now your cheeks are
sunk-your eyes are wild and fiery, and
your eyebrows are lowering and contrac-
ted. In fact, Ben, you are SO much alter
cd, that | am not astonshed at the fright
you gave my wife; come, sit down and
tell me what is the matter with you.'-
Ben looked around, and asked the Colo
mel to fasten the door; which being done,
he seated himself in the chimney corner
and related the following story -
Two or three weeks ago left the Mo-
hawks with four or FIVE of my tribe to pay
visit to the Oneidas they had among
them a young Indian Chief by the name
Of Norack, famous for his courage and
the great deeds he had done; he had just
married pretty sQuaw called Sombruna,
and as it is usually the case on such an
occasion, rejoicings of various kinds
took place in the evening. The rum was
flowing in abundance; | drank freely =

groom; when Norack, who began also TO
feel too much for his own good the power
of that pertidious liquor, with which you
white men destroy the poor Indians -
Norack, the unfortunate Norack, without
any provocation on my part, gave me
slap on the face; an insult that we Indians
never forgive. After having committed
this rude act, the young Mohawk laugh

But he was wrong the slap burnt deep

THE EYE OF GREY.

Poets have praised the eye of black,
And eulogzed the melting blue;
Have laid their fancy on the rack
To celebrate each varied hue
But not one single word they say,
About the pleasing eye of grey.
like the mild grey eye-the faces
most have loved, had eyes of grey;
And if each glance emits nor blazes,
AS those of black, know that they
Possess a charm that can subdue,
Hearts that withstood both black and blue
The fair is fair, with eyes of black
With eyes of grey, is still more fair
And what the last in life may lack,
Is made up by the softer air,
Impaired to the lovely faces,
That grey and blue so often graces.
The black may pierce the gazer through,
And make the lighted spirits dance;
Our souls may melt before the blue,
Or die away in pleasures trance
But will still my homage pay,
To the enchanting eye Of grey.
The eye that kindly beams on me,
Shall always meet like return;
And will bend the ready knee,
Wherever those chances melt or burn;
And idolize the lovely hue,
Whether of grey, or black, or blue. E. H.

TEN YEARS AGO.

TEN YEARS AGO.
That time is past
And all its aching joys are now no MORE
And all its dizzy raptures Not for this
Faint l. nor mourn, nor murnur Other gifts
Have followed for such loss, would believe.
Abundant recompenSe. WORDSWORTH
Ten years ago, ten years ago,
Life was to fairy scene;
And the keen blasts of worldly wo
Had scared not then its pathway green,
Youth and its thousand dreams were ours,
Feelings we meier can know again
UnWltherd hopes, unwasted powers
And frames unwom by mortal pain
Such was the bright and genial flow
OF life with us--ten years ago!
Time has not bianch'd single hair
That clusters round thy forehead now;
Nor bath the cankering touch Of care
Left e'en one furrow on thy brow.
Thine eyes are blue as when we met
Ia loves deep truth, in earlier years;
Thy cheek Of rose is blooming yet,
Though sometimes stand by secret tears
But where, oh where's the SPIRITS glow,
That shone through all--tcn years ago
l, too, am changed-I scarce know Why
Can feel each tagging pulse decay,
And youth and health, and visions high,
Melt like wreath of snow away;
Time cannot sure have wrought the i'll;
Though worn in the worlds sck'ning strife,
In soul and FORM lnger still
In the first summer month of life;
Yet journey on my path below,
Oh ! how unlike-ten years ago
But look not thus-I would not give
The wreck fhopes that thou must share,
To bid those joyous hours revive,
When all around me seem'd so fair
We've WANDERED on in sunny weather,
When winds were low, and flowers in bloom,
And hand in hand have kept together,
And still will keep, mid storm and gloom;
Endear'd by ties we could not know
When life was young-ten years ago!
Has fortune frownd? Her frowns were vain,
For hearts like ours she could not chill
Have friends prov'd false? Their loves might wane
But ours grew fonder, frmer STILL
Twin barks on this worlds changing wave,
Stedfast in calms in tempests tried,
In concert still our fate wen brave,
Together cleave life's ftful tide;
Nor mourn whatever winds may blow,
Youths first wild dreams-ten years ago!
Have we not knelt beside his bed,
And watchd our frst-born blossom die
Hoped, till the shade of hope had fed,
Then wept till feelings fount was dry
Was it not sweet, in that dark hour
To think, mid mutual tears and signs,
Our bud had left its earthly bower,
And burst to bloom in Paradise
What to the thought that sooth'd that wo
Were heartless joys-ten years ago

WOMAN'S LOVE.

Alas the love of woman, it is known
To be lovely and fearful thing;
For all of theirs upon that die is thrown;
And if tits lost, life hath no more to bring
To them, but mockeries of the past alone
And their revenge is as the tigers spring,
Deadly, and quick, and crushing. Yet as real
Torture is theirs, what they inAict they feel.

! THE WEATHER.--A severe thunder storm
on Saturday afternoon, accompanied with a copious
shower OF rain, had The happy effect Of producing a
sudden and agreeable GOODNESS in the atmosphere,
which throughout the previous part of the day had
been oppressively warm.
.uelanchoty accident.--We regret to state that
an awful and melancholy accident occurred during
the storm, which in the most impressive manner
exemplifes the uncertainty Of life and the necessity
and Importance OF being at all times prepared for
the summons Of death. Mr. SAMUEL H. HApsKIs,
for number Of years past worthy citizen Of Fes
Point was struck by the lightning and nstantane-
ousy expired. gentleman residing n the neigh
borhood informs US that the deceased was at his rope
walk, on the Hartford avenue, and was in the act OF
looking out of one of The DOORS when fash OF
lightning struck him to the floor ileless corpse
The crown OF the hat which the deceased had on
his head was completely taken off by the lightning,
and its effects were also plainly marked upon his
breast and one of his legs. The foreman Of the
rope-walk and one of the workmen were standing
near Mr.. II. and were severely shocked by the same

GENERAL LA FAYETTE,

Among all the Addresses to Cen. La Fayette
since he arrived in this country, we Go not reco-
lec one, so far they have been published, which
breathes the same spirit IS the following extract
from the Address of President Allen, OF Bowdoin
College,
"We welcome and hail you as the benelactor of
our country-as Of that illustrious band OF pat
riotic and heroic men, whose blood through the
divine blessing, was the purchase Of our freedom.
Our hearts are glad yet is our joy mingled with
melancholy, for you are the last of the military
chiefs of our revolutionary war, and ere we shall
see you again, you may be summoned TO follow
Washington and Kaor, and your other companions
in arms. Allow me, then, to utter the hope and
the prayer, that for the infinitely precious blood
shed upon Mount Calvary, which purchases the
highest and eternal freedom for all who repent and
believe in Jesus Christ, you may lift up your praises
forever with the great company OF the redeemed,
in the kingdom Of Heaven: and may there cast
down your glores and your honors a, the feet of
the Prince Of peace--the Son of God.''

ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN FRANCE AND HAYTL
We learn by the Rebecca, capt. Groves, who ar.
rived last evening in IL days from Port au Prince,
that an arrangement was concluded the 18th
inst. between France and the Government of Hayti,
by which, as we understand in general terms, the
independence of the latter is acknowledged. For
this boon, and some commercial privileges, Hayti
has agreed to pay to France the sum oe one hun
dred and fifty millions Of francs, (nearly 100000
Of dollars.) The French commissioners arrived off
Por; au Prince on the Sd inst. and despatched a
flag Of truce, which was met by flag from the
town. After negotiating on board irgate until
the 4th, the French commissioner landed, and the
fleet was permitted to go up to The town The
fleet consisted Of two ships OF the line, three fiji.
gates, TWO briggs, and schooner. The treaty was
agreed to the 18th. One condition is said to be,
that the produce Of the Island imported into France
shall pay but half duties for six years.
