"While, with mind thus occupied, you

you disturb the basking snake; and here,

OUR NATIVE HOME.

There is no trait, perhaps, more common,
or more amiable in the human character,
than the attachment which each individual
feels for his native country. When separat-
ed from kindred and from friends, he sighs in
a far distant land from the place ofhis birth,
with what resis less, tender and soul sublu
ing influence does the remembrance of past
scenes and pleasures rush upon his mind!
His native hills and valies, the bubb!ing
brook, the groves, the meadows, and the
fields, which witnessed the innocence and
sportings of his youthful years, arise before
his inauguration, arrayed in all their beau"
ty. The lonely invalid looks back with
tender affection to the sacred spot where
repose the slumbering ashes OF his departed
kindred N the chaste and pious nedita-
ton, he feels peasurable melancholy steal
| over his soul which he would not exchange
for all the sparkling joys of transient and
unsubstantial amusements. But awakcing
| from his pleasing reveries, he finds that he
is in distant country. In vain he looks a.
round for the friends and companions of his
youth-but all is sad, lonely and disconso-
| late. Tell him not that the gales which
fan him, are perfumed with odours, that
the gentle zephyr brings health and balm
on its wings, that roses and jessamlnes till
the soft AIR with fragrance; and that the
verdant mantle of nature is spangel with
flowers of the richest dyes. For neither
the spicy gales, the balmy breath of the
gentle zephry, nor the roses, nor jessamines
nor natures fairest livery, equal the all
the beauty and enchantment Of his native
land; to him the whispers of domestic
love, tenderness, and affection, are more
grateful and soothing, than the gentle fan
nings of the south wind, CT the spicy breeze
To him, more pleasing would be the sigh
of his patcrnal mansion, though hung with
icicles, and surrounded with the desolatt
emblems of winter, than the beauty ant
verdure which surround him in distant ma
ton.
Fen the loud torrent and the whirlwnd's roar
But bind him to his native mountains more.
His newly acquired friends may be kint
and attentive, but they cannot supply thu
place of those he has left behind him; ant
conscious of the melancholy reality he feel
that he is a stranger in foreign land
thought that fills his soul with desolation
more especially when he considers that in
few revolving weeks or days, the sun vii
shine upon his new made grave in a land c
strangers.

The following description and reflections
among the ruins Of Bijanagur, the last capi-
tol of the last Hindoo empire, and finally
overthrown in 1864, are by the author of
"Sketchcs of India"
"You cross the garden, where imprisoned
beauty once strayed. You look at the ele-
phant-table and the remaining gateway,
with "a mind busy in conjecturing up some
associations Of luxury and magnihcience-
Sorrowfully passed on. Every stone be-
meath my feet bore thesmark of a chisel, or
of human skill and labnur. You tread con-
tinually on steps, pavement, pillar, capital,
or curnice of rude relief, displayed or fallen,
and mingled in confusion. Here, large mas
ses of such materials have formed bush-cov-
cred rocks there, pagodas are still stand
ing entire. You may for many miles trace
the city-walls, and can often discover, by
the fallen pillars of the long piazza, where
it has been adorned by streets Of uncom-
mon width. One, indeed, yet remains near
ly perfect; at one end of it a few poor ryots,
who contrive to cultivate some patches Of
rice, cotton or sugar-cane,, in detached
spots near the river, have formed mud dwell
lings under the piazza"

AUTUMN FLOWERS:

These few pale autumn flowers;
How beautiful they are
Than all that went before,
Than all the summer store, s
How lovclier far!
And Why they are the last,
The last, the last, the last!
Oh! by that little word
How many thoughts are stirr'd!
The sister of the past.
Pale flowers! pale perishing flowers!
Ye're types Of precious things;
Types of those better moments
That fit, like life's enjoyments,
On rapid, rapid wings;
Last hours with parting dear ones,
CThat time the soonest spends,)
Last tears in silence shed,
Last words half uttered,
Last looks of dying friends!
Who but would fain compress
A life into day,
The last day spent with one
Who, ere to-morrow's sun,
Must leave rs, and for aye.
The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware register., 1825-05-12

OH precious, precious moments!
Pale flowers, ye'cr types of those;
The slddcst, sweetest dearest,
Because like them, the nearest
To an eternal close.
Pale howcrsl pale; pershing flowers!
WOO your gentle brcath
] leave the summer rose
For younger blithsome brows,
Tell me of change and death.

For the Wilmingtonian
LAST FAREWELL.

LAsT FAREwET,L.
Dork night oershatlows half the globe,
And nature sinks o weary rcst
pale Luna, hides her s,lv'ry robe,
while still hcave the throbblng breast;
I,ut soon darker night succeeds;
All. soon, with grief, blest memry bleeds.
This heart of case and careless peace,
Shall soon exile its tenants there,
And all those pleasing visions cease,
Exchanged for absence, pain and care;
For, from lov'd Wilmington stray
with pensive thoughts i,y dreary way.
And lives there oSE.wil mourn my lot
One breast that will its anguish tell
Saw. shall the Minstrel be forgot
When he has breath'd his lust fareUeH2
All. no! affection tells me true,
There's some will sigh, to bid ADIEu.
Sweet Borough, thy romantic scene.
(Wherc love and joy have shed their tcars,)
will oft in happy dreams be seen,
When time has scor'd his rapid years
And pcnsiye thought on thee shall dwell,
Where flows thy stream | love so well.
Those friends whom so dearly prize,
| leave with sad regret and pain;
These-fond these tear-lamenting eyes,
Perhaps shall see them ne'er again.
O! may they long possess that peace,
Which in this joyless heart must cease.
Nav heav'n continue still to send
Those blessings, which those friends now feel
While my weary fight must wend,
Amid the storms, which peace conceal.
Farewell. yc friends-the falling tear
Has seal'd our friendship doubly dear.
Farewell to all whom e'cr knew
In Wilmingtonia's peaceful home;
To all, I bid last adieu-
Remembrance goes with me to roam
Farewell to joyful scenes Of mirth--
Farewell thou rural spot ofearth
The tears ofsorrow now may flow,
And sighs may rend this bosom young;
But fortune' wills my feet to go,
Tho sorrow has my bosom wrnng.
O! WILMISGToS, love thee well,
But take my sad, last, long tare'ceh

LOVER.

THE ITALIAN GIRL TO HER FAITHLESS
LOVER.
From the Italian.
Thou saidst, that thou
wouldst love me, and forcvcr;-and my heart,
Unconscious, drealnt not that we ever must
part.
Where art thou now
Iweep alone
Cherries and desolate. My heart no more
Wakes those sweet echoes which it woke be-
fore;
For thou art gone.
Thcu saidst that when
The battles rage was over, and the cry
OF carnage hush'd, and murders rout gone by,
Thoudst come again.
And believed!
| could have brcathed my dying PRAYER fol
thee,
Nor murmured at my fatc;--but thus to be
by thee deceived
IT'S well-'tis we'll,
These charms once loved are passing fas
away:
This tongue, it cannot curse-but only say
Farewell-farewell.
But yet-should c'cr
Thy footsteps stray to where this form is laid
Then think of her whose fond heart thou'st be
traycd;
Give me one tear

the subject of the offer made by the
President of the United States, to Mr..
Clinton, Of the station of minister to
the Court Of St. James, and as erro-
neQus motives may have been imputed
to the latter in declining the honor con-
ferred upon him, we have solicited and
obtained copy Of Mr.. Cinton's let
ter for publication, that the citizens Of
New-York might understand the views
and intentions, by which their Chief
Magistrate has been actuated. We
will only add, that his answer will
serve to exalt him still higher in the
respect, esteem, and affection of the
people Of this state, whose interests
and feelings have been preferred 20 the
dignity of a foreign embassy, and to
the honors voluntarily tendered him BY
the government of his country:
