THE GENEROUS CARIB.

On one Of those happy islands whose
ever-verdant shores are laved by the bill
lows ofthe W estern Ocean; where nations,
falsely called civilized, never carried the
desolating sword Of conquest; in the bosom
of thick grove Of mangoes, the generous
Ora, had fixed his habltation. From the
hour his eyes first behed the light of heav-
ell he had been accustomed only to the same
delightful spot. From infancy he had been
taught day by day to travel the sands, and
supply the wants of nature from the fnny
productions of the deep. Unaccustomed to
the tolls of cultivation, or the cares of traf.
fc, he spent the morning of his days in a
regular succession ofinnocent ainusements
As he sat on the rock, he warbled in un-
taught numbers; while his eyes wandered
over the extensive ocean, and marked the
progress Of the distant sails, immerging,
disappearing, or taking different directions,
He looked on those as the ordinary pro-
ductions Of nature, though ignorant Of
their properties or their utility; nor deem
ed them other than what they seemed
vast objects floating on the unstable bill
lows, without cause or without effect. He
observed the mighty orb of day rise in all

ing other climes, or fructifying different
soil; nor did he dream Of other lands, or
another race of beings; but imagined that
all creation was comprised within the mar
row circle of his visible horizon.
In the prime of life, when the hearts of
men are contaminated with juvenile vices,
love was the only passion which could dis
turb the serenity Of his soul. The amiable
Yarro was the object Of his tender desires.
He first met her in walk of bamboos, on
the purple banks of fine river, when her
sable beauties kindled in his bosom the
flame which could only be extinguished
with his existence. A stranger to artiice
and dssimulation he wooed her with the
irresistible e'oquence ofnature, she heard
his honest, simple tale, and yielded her hand
without reluctance or distrust. Their hovel
was sheltered by the leaves of the branch.

Then raised the knife TO pierce his heart,

sought to assuage his and relieve his pains.

to the Almighty for he preservation Of the phi
lanthropic BERKLhy, and assisted him to wander
towards his dwelling.
Recognizing his kind preserver, the Bishop
would in the fullness Of his heart, have returned
his thank, and poured his benedictions upon her
head but when he essayed to do so, the fair stran-

ere he could artculate what .his heart dictated,
Maria broke from him, anG pursuing the devious
course of deep rayine, fed from his presence, and

HMMA's GRAVE.

Silent and unseen
He paid the mourntul tribute fhis tears.
AKKNsIDE.
Twas late! and o'er the distant sky
The sable robe Of night was spread;
When Edwin to the grave yard hied,
To muse among the silent dead;
A ghostly tombstone in his way
Told him where his dear Emma lay,
That he might tarry there;
And shed tear for her whose charms,
10 youths gay hours, fed his arms,
And perished mid deaths dread alarms,
And left his bosom bare.
No mortal ever loved like he,
An object that no soul could hate;
Nd dove e'er mourned like he the loss
Offs departed, dearest mate;
And who eoui love like Emma, then,
The noblest, k'ndest, best of men;
The ov ner efher heart.
And who could weep ike Edwin, too,
When Death DER Enmss eyes OF blue
His mantle Of destruction threw,
Ard bade them, thus to parS
O! many an hour he spent at night
Beneath the moons rich, silvery beams,
On Emmas grave-a grave so dear,
And subject Of his latest dreams;
Pressing the stone that marked the ground
Where grave anu tombstones hover'd round
He'd chaunt her funeral song;
And, with devotion, raise his eyes
Beyond the earth, to bless the skies,
Where virtue lives-dishonor dies
And hope and peace belong.
on to the passing broeze he gave
The sigh that issued from his breast;
That sigh which bursts the fount oftears,
That never can be found at rest;
The wood re. echoed with his song,
The stream, 10 murmurs, bore along
The numbers Of each sigh;
The graves ,bat round him silent slept,
Drank ev'ry tear that he had wept,
As through the yard he softly slept
To find whereat to die.
'Twas Spring, aud flowers in plenty grew,
The cedar lowered its new crowned head
High in the air, to kiss the sun,
Ere it di shine upon the dead:
The weeping willow, too, was seen
To bend is top Of ligh.est green,
Bes espanglsd DER With dew;
The fields assumed their rcheet cast,
Knew not the storm, nor felt the blast,
Which, loudly telling 'tis their last,
Spreads desolation through.
Twas silent, and no voice was near
To wake the slumbers Of the tomb,
But one eternal silence reigned
Ia this sad hour, the hour Of gloom
He found the spot whereat to die,
Unseen by any human eye,
His boiling blood to she'd
A letter from his vest he drew,
To earth and friends, his last adisu--
And mid the flowers that round him grew,
He made his dying bed,

Yon awful figure climbs the peak
Mark but the 1ow ofhis syery hair,
As It waves around his time -blanched cheek
'Tis be Of Egypt. - know him now
BY his lightning glance and his sunny brow
'Tis he Of Egyp, BY Arnon's stream,
Iheard the silver trump afar-
I saw the helms Of his cohorts CLEAN
When he met the shock Of tIeshbon's war,
And high o'er the van as the dark ranks came,
The Banner Of Judah strea.nd like fame.
IT'S he e Egypt Proud Heshbon's King,
With his troops like the rush Of waters past
They fell at his glance, like the haves OF Spring
Before the breath ofthe Desert blast

lie stood on Pisgah's dusky height,
His snow. white locks waved to the air;
And streakinss of celestial light
Were bursting through the shadows there
Rapture flashed from his Heaven lit eye,
As he knelt on the mount mid the dark blue sky.
The curling msts ofJordan clnng
Round that mountains s western side,
And DER Canaan's fields had flung
Their dusky mantle far and wide
But the rosy East was smiling now
On the woods that waved DER Pisgah's brow.
The day spring, DER the vine clad hills,
New melted into morn away,
And sacred joy his bosom fills,
As his locks are tinged by the Suns first ray
For the light that shone The Prophet there,
Gleam'd on his brow, rs he knelt III prayer.
Thou dread I AM IL come to thee
My JOY is full-my task is done
The chains Il riven--thy children free
Father! the Victory is Won. -
Let thy richest love, in its holiest power.
Descend on my soul in this dying hour =
Westward roll the rapid clouds,
And on the far horizons verge,
Disappear in gorgeous crowds
Beneath the dim discovered surge
Not speck in the air, not stain on the sky
The fields Of Canaan before him lie
Beneath bis feet, the Prophets eye
Saw Judahs fragrant hills-perfume
Arose, like incense to the sky,
From out a thousand wales ofbloom-
Mountain and woodland, valley and stream,
Were FURNISHED and bright in the morning beam
lie saw Naphthalis clustering vine,
Manessah's olive coloured plain;
The happy fields of oil and wine
Stretchd onwaId-onward to the main

'Tis Edens bloom in its natal hour!
And again the Prophet has knelt, and raised
His hanjs to Heaven in holest prayer
When a sudden light around him blazed--
God was with him God was there!
In glorious splendor, Jehovah came,
As on Sinal's mount, in robes Of flame.
"Father no more let thy dread frown
Fall on Isracl's chosen race
o! may thy mercy ever crown
These erring children with thy grace
God of Sabaoth be with them now
Plant thy Banner on Zion's brow.'
