the remnant of patience saved to lis
creditors, aud in adopting many curious
and witty e1pedients to escape from their
prosecutions, made his appearance one
day in new pair Of boots, and strutted
about until they attracted the attention of
his friends. "Now guess" said be,

Of that paper is +" the abest critic of any age" we

My chosen and my fairest
In sunshine and in gloom,
Thy kindlng shall cheer my path,
Thy gentle smile illume;
And nand in hand we'l onward walk,
Amid lfe's busy crowd,
While lore shall cast a golden hue,
On very passing cloud.
III cherish thee, sweet one,
So f,udly from all ill.,
That time shall win lent way,
But leave with thee no chill:
And thus, undmnd, when years h i've flown,
Affections star shall shine,
As wbeoI breathed nv earliest VOWS,
And blushes spake thee mine.
My best loved, thus together,
Wen watch life's changing tide,
And gather all the foirest flowers,
That on the surface glide;
Aud grief shall be an idle name,
And sorrowing thoughts unknown,
Fo- love in darkest hours can form
a bright world Of its own.

Baker, in his Chronicle, speaks Of
Henry Beaufort, cardinal of Winchester,
who was extremely rich, crying on, upon
bis death-bed. in such speeches as these
"Fye--will not death be hired /? Will
money do nothing ? Must | die that
have such great riches IL the whole
realm of England would save my life, I
Am able, either by policy to get it, or by
riches to buy it !"

1t is affirmed that St. Anselm. arch
bishop Of Canterbury, finding himself
very near death, at the age of seventy-six
years, wished for little delay that he
might finish a very obscure question,
which he had begun, on the origin of the
soul. If he had obtained yet seventy
six years of life more, saws Bartholnus,
| doubt whether he could have made an
end Of such an obscure question.

Opening his dim and clouded eyes,
Edward beheld dark form by his side,
which he gradually came to recognize as
the Indian woman, and as he knew the
truth, a sudden rush of the blood reused
him from the death-like lethargy. The
woman lifted him upon his feet, took hls
passive arm, and walked him several
times around the tree ill his sensation
began to return. She first rubbed his
chilled face and hands with snow, and
then cherished them with her own warm
palms, still keeping him in constant mo
ton. When she perceived that he was
able to walk for some distance, she led
him at slow pace into a narrow foot
path, gradually quickening their steps as
they advanced. The path wound for a
long distance among the bulky trunks OF
oaks and naples, till it terminated in a
sheltered valley beside large brook. the

And darkly dream that earthly storm

Though yet of earthly sights the fairest,

The retrospect was scarcely bitter;
For. in their place a calpness dwelt,

That every louder mirth is folly
A pensvenes' which is not grief.

Till earth looks like landscape dreaming.

WHEREAS am convinced, by late disclosure Of
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past regular agen.
in the commission Of more highhanded thefts than
was first aware Of to the great loss Of my neighbour
and myself and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned his elopement the 10th Of
November last; therefore deem it an imperative du.
~ to awaken the vigilance of the community at large,
and particularly of Sherfs Constables, and Police of
cers that this artul scoundre may be apprehended,
and that he and his concealed partners in guilt, may
be brought to condign punishment. do believe, It
will appear. upon his apprehension, that others more
guilty than HIMSELF have accomplished, by his agency,
their dishonest purposes For fear of inaccuracy in
my last advertisement will again describe his person
Noage is about feet inches high, about "a years
DID, of dark complexion, yet not of deep black
lor; regular features somewhat bow.legged, yet of
good figure for his height. His dress at the time he
disappeared, was a roundabout and pantaloons, of
dark twilled domestic CLOTH He had variety Of other
clothing, and perhaps supply of money, the fruits of
his felonious agencies The marks, however of thr.
ty five stripes, but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for atrocous theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence, will still show on his
back if examined. His sober habits and apparent f.
deity, induced me to grant him all reasonable indu.
gence previous to this. He has been trained from his
infancy as house servant, waiter, market man. car
rage driver &c. He has attended me in Baltimore,
annapolis, and other parts of Maryland But he is
much better known in the District and particularly
in Alexandra, whittier he has for years, repeatedly
gone market, and purchased goods for family use
From this date if he be taken in the District or within
ten miles of its line, within any part Of Prince
Georges County, will give fifty dollars; if in any 9TH
