Answered by the spouting tide;

Other music rent the air,
Other waltz the warriors knew.
When they closed at Waterloo.

Has healed the pang of recent sorrow
And let the picture distant stand,
The sottening hue Of years to borrow.
When our race has passed away,
Hands unborn may wake the lay
And give to joy alone the view
OF Britain's tame-at Waterloo.

during the night, by singing their national songs, as
well as others of more devotional character; Of
the latter, the following is specimen, taken from
very interesting work, entitled the Autumn of the
Rhine" When the voices are good which is fire.

POETRY.

The following stanzas are from the "rale of Pa
raguay," by Southey. They are part of the dedi.
catory lines addressed by the Poet to his daughter
How have doated on thine infant smile,
AT morning. when thine ewes Enclosed on uine
How, as the months in swift succession rolpd
marked thy human faculties unfold,
And watched the dawning of the light divine:
something ween thou know'st, for thou hast seen
Thy sisters IN their turn such fondness prove
And tet how childhood in its winning years
The attempered soul to tenderness can move.
THIS thou can'st tell but not the hopes and fears
With which parents heart doth overflow
The thoughts and cares inwoven with that love
Its nature and its depth thou dost not can'st not
know.
The years which since thy birth have passed away
May well to thy young retrospect appear
measureless extent like yesterday
TO me, so soon they flPd their short career
10 thee discourse of reason have they brought
With sense Of time and change; and something, too.
OF this precarious state of things have taught.
Where man abideth never in one stay;
And OF mortality, mournfu thought.
Scarcely can'st thou bear
10 hear me name the grave, thou knowest not
How large portion of my heart is there
The faces which lovd in infancy
Are gone and bosom friends of ripper age.
With whom gladly talked of years to come.
summoned before me to their heritage
Are IN the better world, beyond the tomb
And have brethren there and sisters dear,
And dearer babes. l therefore needs must dwell
Often IN thought with those whom still love so
well
Thus wilt thou feel in thy maturer mind;
when grief shall be my portion, thou wilt find
Safe consolation in such thoughts as these;
present refuge in afnction's hour,
And if indulgent Heaven thy lot should bless
With all imaginable happiness,
Here shalt :hou have, my child, beyond all power
Ut chance, thy hottest. surest, best delight
Take therefore now thy fathers latest lay;
Perhaps his last-and treasure in thine heart
The feelings that its musing strains convey.

AFFECTING OCCURRENCE

Three lads, members Of Lansing
burgh Academy, went into the woods
on Monday last to gather winter greens,
and found and ate kind of root they
supposed to be spikenard; before they
got home however, they complained OF
feeling unwell, and one Of them Cam
bridge Davidson, of Charleston, S. {.
died before he could reach his boarding
house; another, James Hector, of Ian
singburgh, died Immediately after, and
the life of young Heermance, of Alba
nv, was saved by the operation OF a
powerful emetic. The root they had
eaten, and believed to be spikenard,
proved to be ,oater hemlock, which 1t
seems is one of the most active vege-
table poisons produced in our climate.
Young Davidson was preparing to en-
ter college, was youth Of great pro-
mise, the only child of his mother.

SANDWICH ISLANDS.

The ship Mercury, at New Bedford,
has brought letters from the Sandwich
Islands to the 9th September. The
schooner Waterwitch, Small, had sail
ed for the Spanish coast. Ship Jupi-
ter from the coast, bound home, had
touched for refreshments. A Spanish
schooner, supposed to be pirate, (the
same vessel that was pursued in March
last off Cape Henry by a Patriot vessel
called the Congress- had arrived at the
Sandwich Islands, where she was seiz-
ed by the ex-king. A war had broken
out at Atooi. A son Of Pitt had been
placed on the Island as Governor, to
the exclusion of the son of the late king
Tamaree, who it seems was the legiti-
mate successor to that station. The
latter had attempted to avenge himself,
and shot white man; Pitts confden-
tial adviser. This caused general
rising throughout the Island, and il
was thought that Tamaree would have
to fee to the mountains. He had once
or twice narrowly escaped being kill.
ed About 1000 men had proceeded
from Owyhee, Mowee, and Wahoo, to
quell the disturbance.

the consciousness that you merit the applause
ofthe wise and good. Welcome Sir, to the

To this Address the General replied
with great earnestness.
The Officers of the Army and Navy
Of the United States were also introdu-
ced to him; and in the afternoon he
presented to Col. Bacot, of the 18th re-
giment, formed in front of his resi-
dence, new and elegant standard, pre-
pared by the Field Officers, which &C.
remony he accompanied with an adj

ry appropriate reply. In the evening
General La FAyE1-rE visited the Thea

/" Nations Guest"
On yesterday Gen. LA FAYEITE re-
ceived the salutations Of the reverend
Clergy of this city, and was addressed
in their behalf by the Rev. DR.. FURMAN;
of the Officers of the second division Of
our Militia, whose compliments were
expressed to him by Maj. Gen. YOUNG

tons, he paid several affectionate Vi
sits-to Gen. CHARLES c. and General
Thomas PlNcKNEY-to Mrs. SHAW,

BURNING OF EFFIGIEs.

The annexed article, from the Nashville
Republican, merits, as it viii doubtless receive
the contempt of every friend to decency and
decorum.
We have heard before, Of the shameful con-
duct at Pittsburg, Russelsville, sc. alluded to
in the editorial part, but We have heard too,
that it originated with blackguards, and was
condemned by all others. The following let
ter is the only instance we have seen where
the act has been considered sufficiently meri-
torious to become the subject Of special Gu
logy.
The following was received by the
last Western mail, contained in let
ter sealed with black. We understand
like ciriHfies were paid Mr.. Clay at
Pittsburg, Russelsville, KY. and at
Knoxville and Rutledge in this state
Also, that Mr.. F. Johnson, their repre-
sentative in Congress. was elevated In
like manner in Franklin, KY.
"CHARLoTrE, Feb. 2sth, 1925.
"Messrs Editors Of the Republican:
"On last evening we received intelli-
gence of the defalcation Of MIR: Clay,
and the election of Mr.. Adams. We
bow to the constituted authorities OF
the country, and greet MIR. Adams
with that respect due to the Chief Ma
gistrate Of the nation. Butsome how
or other, number Of our citizens took
a notion in their heads that MIR. Clay
was entitled to some civilities, and ne
not being present in person, we were
for some time at loss. AT length an
expedient was devised, to make a man
of straw, which was considered as
highly emblematical Of the man him
self. BY this means we soon had the
great orator Of the day among US
After the usual salutations on such oc'
casions, it was resolved that as a full
and complete expression OF our high
respect, he should be elevated some
Is or 90 feet above the rest OF the COM
pany, as a mark Of distinction to which
his eminent services Justly entitled
him, which was accordingly done
with a certain domestic newspaper
of recent date, suspended a little be-
low his waist, though not in 'front.'
Thus elevated, an opportunity pre-
.ented Of observing that his clothes
(which seem to have been perfumed
with some essence of turpentine o.
dour,) evidently evinced from the
quantity Of feathers attached to them
a total neglect of the use OF the brush
But still he was the most august ant
interesting parsonage who had ever vi
sited this part of the country. Here
was to be seen the dimensions, the at
titude, the gestures of an able states
man and inhexible patriot--and an IN
eorruptible republican, ever oonstsfen
in his political sentiments: and t.
crown all the most eloquent man, u
cerohot excepted, that ever lived
still the fire Of the orator was wanting
but il was only for moment, Tor fir'
being communicated to the above
mentioned paper, suspended as afore
said, the orator was soon in blaze
he was all hre-and the materials no
vestige Of that great man was left"

SMOKERS FERRY.

We are authorised, upon unques-
tionable authority, to state, that the
Ferry, generally known as Smokers,
has lately been put in the most perfect
order BY the present enterprising pro-
prietors, Messrs. Castleman and Nc
Cormick; the place Of landing having
been paved in manner to render the
passage to and from the boats perfect
ly safe and convenient. Boats Of the
best construction have been provided,
and sobes, attentive hands are in atten-
dance, at all hours Of the day and night,
to give speedy passage to travellers
and Others. The road across the
mountainhas also undergone athorough
and radical change, by which its ascent
has been reduced to an elevation less
than half of what it formerly was, and
it is admitted now to be inferior TO no
other gap in the Blue Ridge, for
wagons Of any burthen to cross with
ease and safety. Wnchester Gazette.
