SONG
ron THE ANNIVERSARY OF
THE PILGRIM SOCIETY,

CELEBRATED AT PLYMOUTH, DEC. 90 1924.
The pilgrim fathers-where are they r
The waves that brought them DER
Slill roll in the bay, and throw their spray
As they break along the shore:
Still roll in the bay, they rolled that day
When the MAY-FLOWEli moored below,
When the sea around was black with storms,
And white the shore with snow.
Cuonus-Sl roll in the bay, they rolled that day, sc
The msts, that wrapped the pilgrims sleep,
Still brood upon the tide;
And his rocks yet keep their watch by the deep,
10 stay its waves OF pride.
But the snow-white sail, that he gave to the gale
When the heavens looked dark, is gone =
As angels wing, through an opening cloud,
Is seen, and then withdrawn.
CuoRusI gone from the bay where spread that day. &c
The pilgrim exile--santed name
The hill, whose icy brow
Rejoiced, when he came, in the mornings flame,
In the mornings fame burns now.
Aud the moons cold light, as it lay that night
On the hillside and the sea,
Sill lies where he laid his houseess head s.
Bat the plgrim-where is he
cuonrs-ie is not in the bay, he was that day. &C.
The pilgrim fathers are at rest:
When Summers tlroned on high,
And TIE worlds warm breast is in yerdure drest
30 stand on the hill where they lie.
The earliest ray 1.-THE golden day
On that haIowed spot is cast
And the evening sun, as he leaves the world
Looks kindly on that spot last
such the ray hat he shed that day, sc
The pilgrim SPIRIT has not Aed;
1t walks in moons broad light;
And il watches the bed Of the glorious dead,
With the holy stars, by night.
II watches the bed of The brave who have bled,
And shall guard this ice bound Shore
Till the waves of the bay, where the May Flower lay
Shall foam and freeze more.
CnonUs watches the bed Of The brave who have bled, &c

money, placed under his care and management in
virtue OF his Office of store keeper and general agent
for the Penitentiary. Upon the trial of this indict-
ment the counsel for the prisoner Messrs. Charles
Copeland and Samuel Taylor, submitted for the
decision OF the court two questions of law first
whether the prisoner was by virtue of his Office OF
store keeper and general agent for the Penlentiaiy
an officer of public within the meaning of the
statute and secondly, whether embezzlement
OF bank notes, or any thing else other than gold and
silver coin, was an embezzement OF sum Of
money! Upon the first OF these questions, the court
decided against the prisoner, but upon the second
the decision was favourable to him.-The Attorney
General being unable to adduce any evidence of EN-
bezzlement of gold or silver coin, by The prisoner
the Jury found him not guilty Of the charges alledg

A letter published in the Evening Post few days

Thomas Herman, was drowned in the East River

run Iou oil by cake oil ice We did not repub.

last evening" prove our suspicious correct.
" 1t turns out on investigating the matter, both
at New Brunswick and at our Police Office, that
the writer of the letter was this very same Thorn
as Herman, who wished to make the public believe
that he was drowned. He has carried the distil.
ling business in New Brunswick for two years past,
and was in good credit and much respected. A.
few weeks previous to his leaving New b unswick,
he borrowed, in various ways, money to the amount
OF about $4,000, and there is every to believe,
that, instead OF finding a watery grave in the East
River, he tool, passage in the name of Thomas
Whalen, OF Ireland, in the packet ship Cortes,

this port last Saturday morning. The lady 10 whom
il was said he was to have been married, when cal
led before the Police, soon satisfied the Justices,
that MIR. Herman was not drowned Letters OF

General Robert Goodtoe Harper, has published
about five and twenty columns in the News papers
to disprove Mr.. Monroe's assertion tina. certain
leaders Of the Federal party had Monarchcal pred
lections.' These letters contain an infinite deal
of nothing:" and utterly fail to dsproye the truth of
the assertion Of the President AT the time, which
we suppose the President audes, Mr.. Harper had
no opportunity OF knowing the sentiments of any OF
the leaders of the federal party; because, at that
time, he was leader in The French Jacobin Club al
Charleston and if not sans cuLotte certainly wore
the bonnet rouge. How then could he know the
sentiments OF the then leaders Of the Federal party ?
He was for trampling on all crowns and it is not
likely he should be the con6dant OF men who had a
prediction for them. Dem. Press.
