THE LAS't PARElEG..l -
There is time when the soul is sad,
Aud the heart has more than its wonted feel
When the eye doth lese the lustre it had'
Aud the tear doth flow, ia silence stealing
There is time, to the pure mind given,
To wander frvm earth and FIX on heaven.
There is a moment--tis when we stoad
Beside the couch, and watch the pillsw
OF one we love, and grasp the hand,
That soon must rest beneath the willow
There i. a moment--we fain would rise,
Aud follow the loved ono to the skies.
have seen old age in its last decay
BY the winds ofeighty winters wasted
Ihave seen gay youth in the bloom ofMay'
With all its brightest prospects blasted
And have felt within me then,
A wish to for.ake the abodes Of men.
We stood, circle Of mourning friends,
For the loss OF dear fond parent weeping,
sho smiles-it is over--ths spirits ascends'
But the smile remains on her pale cheek sleep

Till the ties oflfe shall part forever rg
lcaApOt forget that moment-never.
The suu had gone 10 his ocean bed,
And the winds in their island caves were re-
posing;
All was tranquil round the sleep Of the
dead,
When twilight came over--yet scarcely dis.

A star to the eye--save the bright star o

vided into three portions, each coming
down with amazing velocity into the
road, and sweeping before it, shrubs,
trees and rocks, and filling up the road
beyend all possibility OF its recovery.
With grea, labor a pathway has been
made over these fallen masses, which
admits the passage OF carriage. The
place from which the slide or slip was
loosened, is directly in the rear OF Mr..
Willey's house and were there not
special Providence in the fall OF spar
row, and had not the finger OF that Pro-
whence traced the direction OF the slid.
ing mass, neither he, nor any soul OF bis
family would ever have told the tale.
They heard the noise when It first be-
gan 10 move, and ran TO the door. In
terror and amazemen, they beheld the
mountain in motion. But what can hu-
m an power effect in such an emergency /!
Before they could think OF relrealing, or
ascertain which way to escape, the dan
ger was past. One portion OF the ava
lanche crossed the road about ten rods
only from their habltatlon. The second
few rods beyond that; and the third
and much the largest portion took still
more oblique direction. The whole
area now covered by this slide, Mr..
Wiley estimates to be nearly an acre,
and the distance of its present bed from
its former place on the side OF the noun
tain, which il moved over IN few min
utes, he thinks is from three quarters oil
a mile to a mile. There are many trees
of large size, thai came down with such
force as to SILVER them in pieces and
innumerable rocks of many tons weight
any one of which was sufficient to carry
with it destruction to any Of the labors
of man. The spot on the mountain,
from which the slip was loosened is now
naked white rock; and its pathway
downward is indicated by deep channels
or burrows srooved in the side Of the
mountain, and down one OF which pour
ed a slresm of water sufficient to carry
common saw-miil.

The Quatagv Indians.- tribe Of
Indians, (whose removal from the Ar
kansas TO Red river, took place last
spring, pursuant to the treaty concluded
with them in Nov. 1920 we ere sorry
10 learn, have recently been reduced al.
most to the last extremity Of wretched.
ness and want, bordering on state of
actual starvation, in consequence OF ths
inundaion and total destruction of their
crops Of corn, occasioned by the over.
flowing Of Red river, during the latter
part Of last spring and the carly part of
the summer. A depuiation from the
tribe was short time since despatched
to this place, for the purpose OF laying
their distressed situation before the Go
vernon. and soliciting him to afford them
some relief. This relief, we feel much
satisfaction in stating, was promptly af-
forded. The Governor INN edisioly
gave an order Tor the purchase and de-
livery to them, Of fDe hundred bushels
ofcorn; and, to prevent the imposilions
which are too often practsed on these
untutored sons of the forest, he very pru-
IDENTITY took the precaution, to direct that
the corn should be delivered to the
Chiefs, at the residence Of the tribe, in
the presence Of two magistrates, who arc
to certify the fac, Of its delivery.
This timely relief, has no doubt saved
many Of that unfortunate tribe from the
horrors OF actual starvation.

CARLOS WILCOX.

The following account Of the avalanche
of earth, which fell in June last, near
Mr.. Willey's premises, mentioned in
the letter Of Mr. Wilcox; is extracted
from the journal Of tour lately made to
the White Mountains, by the editor OF
the Boston Courier: Col Star.
From hence to the Notch Of the
White Mountains the distance is about
two miles. The sublime and awful
grandeur Of this passage battles all dc.

heights Of the mountains, and numeri-
cal figures may record the measure, bu,
no words can tell the emotions Of the
soul, as it looks up and views the al
mos. perpendicular precipices which
line the narrow space between them
while the senses ache with terror and
establishment as one sees himself hedged
in from all the world besides. He may
cast his eye forward and backward on
either side--he can sec only upward,
and there the diminutive circle Of his
vision is crlbbed and confined by the bat

breathing Of zephyr or tbs waiting Of

make lew hasty extracts.

states, that sentence has been pronounced
in The affair of the Conspirators at St.

sentenced 10 death. Five only have suf-

the Emperor Don Pedro, and various
speculaions are made with regard to it
in the Paris papers.
The 'Algemeine Zeisung, of the 4th

contains the following intelligence from
