ty approached the couch of the dying wo-
man; the divine favour was most pathetl-
cally invoked amidst many Interruptions
from hearts that seemed ready to burst
from the bosoms they agitated; the bride
groom grasped the hand that was langu,uiy
extended in token of assent; the worthy cier-
gyman pronounced blessing, and in falter-
ing accents made those one whom IN less
than twelve hours death had severed ana
sundercd forever-We cannot dwell on
what followed. The eyes that affection haa
for moment lightened, gradually waxea
glazed and dim; the br.lal bed became the
couch of death; and she, Who, but day or
two before, had been rejoicing in the pros
pcct of conjugal felicity, was stretched a
lifelcss but lovely corpse, before many OF
the wedding party had resolution to tear
, themselves from scene so distressing.

TIE FARMER.

OF all pursutsby men invented,
The ploughman is the best contcnted.
His caling's good, his profits high,
And oa h labors all rely
Mechanics all by him arc fed,
Ofhim the merchants seek their bread,
Ills hands give meat to every thing,
Up from the bcggar to the king.
The milk AMI honey, corn and wheat,
by his labors made complete.
clothes from him must first arise,
T deck the top OF dress the wise
We then by vote may justly state,
The ploughman ranks among the great.
Nose Independent than them all,
That dwell upon this earthly ball.
All hail ye farmers, young and old
Push on your plough with courage bold;
Nour wealth arises from yonrclol,
neutrality-suspicious. from your God.
Ii y N the plough supports the nation,
hn; en- of rank IN every station,
Let ngs to farmers make their bow,
And every man procure plough.

From The Trenton Emporium.

Mary Conway was the flower of her ia
ther's family. She was Young, and well do
remember that she was beautiful--most
beautiful. There is no object beneath the
sun-nothing in this world, full as it is Of
allurements, rich as it is in glorious promi-
ses, and golden hopes, and spirit stirring
dreams, that burns into the heart like the
fresh vision of young angelic lovcliness, III
the hey day Of the passions. There is some
thing so pure and innocent, and holy, i'll tho
mild lustre of her eye; something 50 hea-
venly in the soft and gentle smile that plays
upon her cheek and lips; so much ETHEREAL
graccfuness in her form; so many attrac-
tions round her, that :, seems to me be-

to enter the crime of idolatry against her
youthful worshpper, in the moment that he

ugon her. l look back through a mist OF
years, but see no object beyond it more
distinctly than Mary Conway. j.

A MOTMER'S SOILLOQUY.

When low'rnS from some dismal, height
Pale tlesolation takes her fight,
And wings amain;
When famine howls with piteous cry,
Whose hand will then thy wants supply
Dear child of pain'
Whilst DER thy head the skies red arch
Bright beams, So!'s rays intensely parch
Thy opening brain;
Or heavy thnnders awful roll,
Then who'll! protect and keep thee whole
Dear child of pain!
When black'ning storms obscure sNe sight,
And darken e'en the face of night
With drcnching rain,
Half naked, shivering, cold, and poor,
What friend will ope for thee door,
Dear child ofpain'
When Winters horrid forms appear
Chill penury, disease, despair,
Ali who will deign
To take thee, wretchcd wanderer, home,
Death points to esrth thy native tomb,

TIE DUKE OF ORLEANS.

This Prince (says Paris letter) is, as
every body knows. excessively rich: but it
is net as generally known, that he is his own
st ward and accountant. The Duke knows
his receipts and expenditures to centime.--
He cuts no grass to make hay, because he
might have Idle fellows, and hay wastcd.---
He goes into the fields with those who wish
to purchase, and sells the grass as it stands,
so that all the expense of converting it into
hay, and of its removal, falls upon the pur-
chaser He then cal ulates how much his
horses ought to eat in year, and purchases
at the best rate to that extent. He does the
same also with his corn. Then the Duke
has no kitchen, and consequently no cooks.
He is supplied by frdifeur at so much per
dish; and he is so economical in the prices,
that one traiter has, it is said in Paris, fail
ed by the undertaking. What is left at the
Dukes table, belongs to the fraiteur. who
supplies the upper servants with it, at Sc
much per head; and what is left there, goes

SIR: Although l cannot myself ina
CINE that the operations and manoeu-

are ofan hostile nature, yet the public
considers them in this light, and have
received various remonstrances and
communications on the subject from
the towns and authorities on this coast
which do not permit me to hold them
with indifference, but compel me to re-
quire from you clear explanation Of
the views which detain you on our
coast, and in front Of Puerto Cabello,
blockading the said port, as is sufi-
GENTLY demonstrated by the time that
has already been devoted to this object,
and by your having chased several Co.
lombian vessels; searching some OF
them, particularly the schr "Rayo,,
examining her papers and crew, and
putting an officer on board for consi'
derable time. Suffer me to observe to
you with the frankness Of a soldier, that
this proceeding is at variance with the
