BRING FLOWERS

BRING FLOwERS.-By Mrs. HemGns.
Bring flowers, Young flowers for the festal board,
To wreathe the cup 'ere the wine is poured:
BRING Aowersl they springlng IN wood ana vale;
Their breath floats out on the ~uthern gale,
And the touch of the sunbeam hath walked the rose,
TO deck the hall where the bright wine flows
Bring flowers to strew in the conqueror's path,
He hath shaken thrones with his stormy wrath;
He comes with the spoils Of nations back
The vines he crushed in his charots track
The turf looks red whore he won the day
Bring flowers to strew in the conqueror's way
Bring flowers to the oaptive's lonely CELL,
They have tales Of the joyous woods to tell;
of the free blue stream, and the glorious sky,
And the bright world shut from his angud eye:
They will bear him thought of the sunny hours, -,
And dream of his youth-bring him flowers wild
flowers!
BRING flowers. fresh Aowers for the bride to wear;
They were born to blush in her shining har;
She is leaving the house OF her childish mlrth
She has bid farewell to her fathers hearth;
Her place is now by another's side
Bring flowers for the locks of the fair young BRIDE.
Bring flowers, pale flowers DER the bier to shed,
A crown for the brow of the early dead!
For this through leaves has the white rose burst
For this in the woOdS, was the violet n'rs'd'
Though they smile in vain for what once was ours
They are ore's last gft-bring flowers, bring flowers
Bring flowers to the shrine. when knee to prayer;
They are natures Offering their place is there;
They speak of hope to the hintng heart;
With a vo ce Of promise they come and part
They sleep in dust, through the wintry hours;
They break forth in gorybrng flowers, bring dowers'

A SENATOR Of the United States hasmade an
eulogy upon Spanish proverbs. 1t is true lhat
country has furnished but few books, We: her
mise savings are pre- eminently good. The genius
of the psople has never been questioned, but
the narrow policy Of a Jealous government has
prevented general diffusion OF knowledge
in all countries where i few only are enhghten-
ed. these few make maxims for the moral direc-
lion of the many These maXims are like so
many lamps along the road in the night time OF
ignorance, but al the rising day Of knowledge,
are considered as nothing but the proof that
darkness had previously existed. Spain is not
the only place where proverbs were made or
are in use-sor,e OF the best we have ever read,
have been translated BY Jones and others, from
the Eastern languages.
Youth, wealth, dominion, inconsiderate ac-
tons, each of them occa aston danger: Oh! what

The continual acquisition Of wealth: freedom
from disease; a beloved wife, with tender speech;
an obedirnt son. and learning, producing rich

lures.
Circumspection in calamity; mercy in great
ness; in assemblies, good speeches; in adversely,
forttude; in fame, resolution TO preserve 1t; as
siduity in studying the scriptures; these are
the selfattained projections Of great souls
As those who have caught cold, take no plea
sure in moon-shine, or those who have fever,
in the heat of the sun, so the mind Of woman
delights not husband, where there is great
disparity of years.
BY melting, metals are united; for mutual
benefit, antelopes and birds; through fear of
danger, and love Of gain. ignorant men; but the
virtuous are attached at first sight
The small birds desert 4 tree with little fruit;

Diseases; the death Of parents; pains; bonds;

which are planted by mans own sins.
In perils we prove friend; in battle a hero;

THE CASE OF GEORGEWASHl NGTON
SNITI


We have taken some pains to procure cor
rect report OF decision made by his honor
Judge Duer, sitting as a Court of Equity, by
which CIV Smith who was committed to
prison for felony alleged to have been perpe-
trated in the state Of Tennessee, was discharged
from prison; and have been the more Undue
ed to lay this information before the public,
from he circumstance of the extraordinary in
cidents connected with the alleged offence; from
the deep interest the community appear to
have felt on the OCCASION; from the youthful ap.
pearance and uncommon address Of the prison.
err, and from his case having been published
(ether accurately or otherwise) in almost every
journal in the United States.
1t will be recollected that about the l4th
March last, Smith who then put up at one of
our first and most fashionable hotels in this
city, was arrested and committed to the gaol Of
this county on suspicion of having robbed the
mail Of the United States; between Phladel
phia and Baltimore. Among the facts which
probably gave rise to this suspicion, were, his
having deposited thirteen post notes issued by
the United States bank, for 500 dollars each, in
the Branch Bank at New York, and immediate
ly thereafter having suddenly disappeared with
out taking any receipt therefore or demanding
hack the money. Two days after his commit
ment he was brought before the Supreme Court
which was then sitting, and motion was made
for his discharge. This however was denied,
and he was remanded to prison. The attorney
general Is. A. TalcotD opposed the discharge,
andJ. V. N. Yates argued the motion on be-
halfof the prisoner. The whole case and ar
guments Of counsel are reported in 5th Governs
Rep. Not many days afterit was thought prop
err by the committing magistrate to abandon
the charge of robbery, ii, not Being susceptible
OF proof, but on the contrary, it appeared some
days after the application for his discharge,
that the prisoner had deposited the bills on the
2sth and the robbery Of the mail had not hap
pened Till the osth Of February, three days eter
the deposit) The prisoner Was then commit,
