TIME.
o! Time, where'er, on rapid wings,
Thou fiiest DER carth'S extensive bail,
Thy hand, which darts incessant filings,
Gut down, consumes and ruins all.
a cloud from us thy form conceais;
Enclos'd its gloomy folds among,
Thou MOIST Eternitys vast wheels,
And with them movest us along.
The swift-wins'd hours thou drivcst on,
With them life S sand bclOldeSt pass,
And whom our transient life is gone,
Thou snil'st CT its exhausted glass.
Against Times look when he but lrowns
An strength aud Skill and power are yain,
He withcrs !aureis, wreaths, and crowns,
Aud breaks the matrimonial chain.
AS Time moves onward, at each stride
Ills restless scythe mows all away,
All feel his breath, on every side
His touch announces sure decay
To Youths gay years and Beau,y's charms
Mercy alike stern Time denies,
Like vernal flowers o'erwhelm'd by storms
Whateer he looks at droops and dies.
What piles Immense his mighty hand
Has swept from earth with effort dread,
What villages, what cities grand,
What kingdoms sink beneath hs tread.
Heroes in vain, his gauntlet cast,
Can stand against his ruthless sway,
Armies nor mountains, firm and vast,
Can thwart the Devastators way.
Thought strives, hut vainly, to pursue
The traces of TINES rapid flight,
Scarce Fancy gaus one transient view,
Tie disappears and sinks in night.
Think thou, o. thou, whom fol!y's glare
Ofearthly vauities may blind,
lime frcwns and all will disappear,
Nor Gold vestige leave behind.
And thou whom fierce distresses sting,
Thou by calamities low how'd
Weep not! for TIME the day will bring
That ranks the beggar with the proud.
Put stay, o! TINE, thy rapid tread,
Stay, and the Tyres sweet accents hear,
Dismay by thee o'er earth is spread,
Griei's sigh calrd forth, and burning tear.
Yet TIME, thy speed the dread decree
OF retribution on thee brings,
Eternity will swallow thee,
Thy motion stop, and clip thy wings.

scription Of The Falls:
ga few days since we made visit to the
Falls. wished for the pencil of Grey, to sketch
winter view. II was a sublime sight, the vast
columns of ice formed by The freezing Of the
feet high; and the surrounding bushes and
trees were hung with CONCEALED spray. glitter
ing in the sun beams like diamonds. 1t was
very clear day, consequently the scene was more
beautiful We descended the ladder partly,
but there being SO much ice, it was very dan
gerous in going down. That part Of the river
below the falls, where the ferry boat crosses,
was frozen over, and from the top Of the ladder,
men, crossing on foot, resembled Lilliputians!

the Colombian government could not have IN

A Breach of The Marriage Promise.-A most
summary way of repairing these breaches was
adopted last week, in this city. A young and
pretty girl, not over / S years of age, residing
in the neighborhood of New York, received the
addresses Of young man in rather hasty man.
ner, the consequences of which could not be
concealed. The young man, whether he had
business in tbs city or repaired here 10 avoid
the fuIfment of an honorable and implied con-
tract, is not known, but here he arrived, and al
ter him the aged and enraged father, with the
limid and deceived daughter. The young man
was arrested and upon full consideration OF
the case, agreed forthwith to make the only a.
mends in his power by marriage. A justice OF
the peace was sent for, and he entered the pri-
son On one chair sat the weeping girl, her
head reclining like broken lilly, and on the o.
ther consciously offending youth, also in tears,
while the sturdy father paced the room, grasp
ing his oaken staff, and, with knitted brows, re-
garding, occasionally, the sinful pair. The light
cleaning through the prison bars did not tend
10 enliven the scene. The parties stood up and
made the usual responses, received The marrl'
age certificate, embraced each other, and, with
the contented father, left the prison, an honest
welded couple. A large party of poor debtors
were present 10 witness the ceremony, and who
accompanied the young couple as lar as the
turnkey would permit.-Noah's Adrocats.
