And hung his bow upon thy awful trent;
And spoke in that loud voice which seemed to HIM
Who dwelt in Patmos for his Sayours sake,
The sound Of many watcrs;' and had babe

And notch His CENTRES in the eternal rocks
Deep callcth unto deep. And What are We,

Oh WHIST are all the notes that everrng
From wars vain trumpet, BY thy laundering side
Yea, what Is all the riot man can make
In his short life to thy unceasing roar
And yet, bold biubber, what art thou to Him,

Earth holds no fairer, loyeler one than thou,
Maid of the laughing lip, and frolic eye;
Innocence sits upon thy open brow,
Like pure spirit in its native sky.
II ever beauty stole the heart away,

Moments would seem by thee summer dav,
And all around thee an Elysan isle.
Roses are nothing to the maiden blush
Sent DER thy cheeks soft ivory, and night
Has naught SO dazzling in its world Of light,
AS the dark rays that from thy lashes gush.
Love turks amid thy silken curls, and lies
Like keen archer in thy kinding eyes

Spirit Of love and somow-haiu
Thy solemn voice from far hear,
Mingling with evenings dying gale;
Hail, with this sadly pleasing tear
Q. at this still, this lonely hour,
Thine own sweet hour Of closing day,
Awake thy Lutte, whose charmful power
Shall call up fancy to obey:
To pant the wild romantic dream,
That meets thc poets musing eye,
AS on the bank Of shadowy stream
lie brcathcs to her the tcrvid sigh
Olonely spirit lctthy song
Lead me thro' all thy sacred haunt;
The minister's moonlight aialcs along,
Where spcctres RAISE their midnight chaunt
hear their dirges family swell
Then sink at once in silence drear,
While from the plllar'd cloistcI's cell,
Dnmly their gliding forms appear
Lead where the pinewoods wave on high,
Whose painless sod is darkly seen,
As the cold moon, with trembling eye,
Darts her long beams the leaves between.
Lead to the mountains dusky head,
Where, far below, in shades profound,
Wide forests, plains, and hamlcts spread,
And sad the chimes Of vcspcr sound.
Or guide me where the dashng oar,
Just breaks the stiffness Of the vale,
As slow it tracks the winding shore,
10 meet the oceans distant sail
Topebbly banks, that Neptune layes,
With measured surges loud and deep,
Where the dark cliff bends Ger the waves,
And wild the winds of autumn sweep.
There pause at midnight's spectred hour,
And list the long resounding gale
And catch the fleeing moonlights power
Ger toaming seas and distant sail.

FEMALE PATRIOTISM.

The recent revolutions in South America have
been fruitful of chvarous deeds of daring, and he
toc examples of virtue and patriotism, in both sexes
IN every age, and in every country, not excepting
our own, female spirit has frequently nerved the
arm of the soldier, and essentially aided the cause of
liberty and independence. But know not, that
the annals fany nation, whether ancient or MODERN
furnish instance of more exalted sentiments, ola
more generous devotion, Or Of more resolute firm
ness of character. than the following account of
South American heroine founded fact, and trans
lated from the Spanish, by of many Patriots,
who have been exiled from their country, and have
sought an asylum upon our shores The story forms
a noble theme for novel, poem or tragedy,
and such it may possibly be used by some future
"poly carpa Salavarrietta native of Bogota.
She w&s distinguished for her patriotic sentiments,
which she did not conceal even from her enemies
and it is not strange that she should become the OBJ
ect of the fury Of those impous wretches. All the
active vigilance Of the tyrannical government she
had ridiculed, informing circumstantiay the patri-
ots dispersed among the troops of MoriAo, of the
state of the public opinion, and Of the forces and
operations OF the enemy.
81 Her lover who was enrolled by force, in 1918,
in the grand guards of the Spanish army, gave her
notice of all that passed and she transmitted it to
General Santander, who was stationed in the pro-
vince of Casanare, in the confines of Venezuela and
Cundnamarca. Strong suspicious induced the Vice
roy, Samano, at sundry times, to search the house
of the heroine for time all his efforts to find
ne tv in b,,t tho
whom she was to marry, having at length been di-
rected to carry interesting communication to the
patriots he was surprised by the enemy in the de-
sert Of Boqullo, and conveyed to Bogota, with the
token OF trsnsgresson taken on his person.
"When Polycarpa knew this occurrence she pre-
sented herself boldly to the viceroy, ahd told him
that her lover was innocent; that she herself had

ed him to undertake the Journey but without letting
him know the tenor of what he carried The young
conductor being questioned, maintained the contra
ry that he was the delinquent and that she had
no knowledge whatever of his intention. Both were
confronted, and supported themselves in the pur-
pose of saving one another. According to the GUS
tom in these events, the young msn was sentenced
to suffer capital punishment and being placed alrea-
dy on the gbbet, they offered to pardon her, and
even that they would protect them both, in case
they would discover their accomplices bat the
Spaniards gained nothing more than to renew the
conflict between two generous, hearts, that loved
each other tendery, and resolved on every sa-
crfce rather than betray the cause of their country
"The tyrants seeing that their efforts to extort
a secret of such Importance from souls of such
mould, were useless, ordered the execution of the
intrepid messenger and they shot him In the pre-
sence of his lover. They again conducted her to
prison; and she constantly refused to reveal the
names of the persons who secretly working
in favor of liberty In consequence of which, she
was pronounced traitoress, and condemned to die.
&c Her conduct, to the very moment of her Death,
convinced her executoners of the degree of energy
of which true patriot is capable the msfortunes
of her country only afflicted her but she was con-
soled by the service she had rendered it, and the
certainty that it would soon be free whilst her spi-
rt about to be united to that of her lover
When she was on her way to the fatal place where
she was to be sacrificed, she exhorted, in the most
energetic manner, the people, who were dsconso-
late and sad at the catastrophe "Weep not for
me-" said sne sweep for the slavery and sufferings
of your oppressed countrymen take example by
my destiny rise up and resist the outrages which
you endure with SO much injustice"
"When she arrived at the gibbet, she asked for
glass of water, but observing that it was an Euro
pean Spanard who brought it to her. she refused to
receive it, saying, 81 wish not to owe even glass
of water to an enemy of my country" The CON-
mander of the detachment which escorted her,
pressed her then that she might name some person
in her own estimation, who might do her that SER
vice. "I thank you very MUCH" said she, .sfor
kindness which cannot accept, because the slight
relief of this, my last necessity might perhaps con-
denim in the eyes of the tyrants the persons whom

ABORIGINAL AFFECTION.


FROM LONGS EXPEDITION TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
:" In the year 1914 trader married beautiful
squaw, of one of the most distinguished families in
the Omawhaw nations This match, ON the part of
the husband, induced by the following circum-
stance Being active intelligent, and enterpris-
Ing man, he had introduced the American trade to
the Missouri Indians, and had gained great conf
6ence among them by his bravery and ingenious
department. But he at length perceived that his
influence was gradually declining in consequence
of the presents and wives Of many rival traders, to
whom his enterprise had opened the way, and that
his customers were gradually forsaking him.
Thus circumstanced, in order to gain the ground,
he determined to make matrimonial alliance with
one of the most powerful families ofthe Omawhaws
In pursuance of this resolution, he selected squaw,
whose family and friends were just such he desr-
ed and addressed himself to her parents agreeably
to the Indian custom, and informed them that he
loved their daughter and that he was very sorry to
See her in state of poverty common to her nation,
and although he possessed a wife among the white
people, yet he wished to have also of the Omaw-
haw nation. If they would transfer their daughter
to him in marriage, he would obligate himself to
treat her kindly and as he had commenced per-
manent trading establishment in their country, he
would dwell during portion of the year with her,
and the remainder with the white people, as the
nature of his occupation required. His establish
ment should be her home, and that of her people
during her life, he never intended to abandon the
trade. In return he expressed his expectation that
for this act the nation would give him the refusal Of
their peltres in order that he might be enabled to
comply with his engagement to them. He further
promised, that if the match proved fruitful, the
children should be made known to the white peo-
pie, and would proba5.v be qualified to continue
the trade after his death.
The parents replied with thanks for his liberal
offers, and for his disposition to have pity on them,
they would not object to his connection, and hoped
that their daughter would accept him husband
Their parents then retired and opened the subject
to their daughter; they assured her that her pro-
posed husband was great man, greater than any
of the Omawhaws that he would do much for them
and concluded by requesting her to acquiesce in
