COM. PORTER.

A letter from Havana, under date Of 10Th
ult published in the Charleston Patriot
says:
Com. Porters ship is still at Key West,
although he has left that place on a short
trip TO Vera Cruz /; he sailed about ten days
since, in the sloop Hound, owned in that
place. The Spaniards speak very serious.
ly of his being permitted to send his cruz
ers out TO annoy their commerce and there
appears to be bu; one opinion among the
citizens-that he ought to be attacked
where he LAYS, and his vessels destroyed.
They quote the taking of Pensacola as a
proper precedent TO be ftl'owed. Ii is the
wish of every American that our Govern
ment would do something on the subject.
The Spanlards have formidable squa-
dron at llsyana-cOnslsting of a ship ofthe

she walked home leaving the flower girl to

MOZART'S REQUIEM,

MoZART's REQUIEM.
The tongue of the vigilant clock tolled one,
In deep and hollow tone;
The shrouded moon looked out upon
A cold, damp region, more cherries and dun,
BY her lurid light that shone. .-
Mozart now rose from restless bed,
And his heart was sick with care:
Though long he wooinSly sought to we'd
Sweet Sleep twas in vain, for the coy maid fed
Though he followed her every where.
He knelt to the God of his worship then,
And breathed fervent prayer;
Twas balm to his soul, and he rose again
With strengthened spirit but started, when
He marked stranger there!
He was tall, this stranger who gazed on him,
Wrapped high in sable shroud;
His cheek was pale and his eye was dim,
And the melodst trembled in every limb,
The while his heart beat loud.
Mozart!-thcre is one whose errand bear,
Who cannot be known to thee;
He grieves for friend and would have thee prepare
A Requiem, blending mournful air
With the sweetest melody"
"Pll furnish the Requiem them he cried,
''When the moon has waned away!"
The stranger bowed, yet word replied,
But fed like shade on the mountains side,
When the sunlight hides its ray.
Mozart grew pale when the vision fled,
And his heart beat high with fear;
lie knew twas a messenger sent from the dead,
To warn him, that soon he must make his bed
In the dark, chill sepuchre.
He knew that the days of his life were told,
And his breast grew faint within;
The blood through his bosom crept slowly and cold
And his lamp Of life hardly could hold
The fame that was Pickering.
Yet he went to his task with cheerful zeal,
While his days and nights were one;
lie spoke not, he moved not, but only to kneel
With the holy prayer-"O Oh God! l feel
Ills best thy will be done!"
He gazed on his loved one who cherished him WELL
And weepingy hung DER him;
This music will chime with my funeral knel,
And my spirit shall float the passing bell
On the notes Of this Rcqueim!"
The cold moon waned--on that cherries day,
The stranger appeared once more;
Mozart had finished his requiem lay,
But ere the last notes had died away,
His spirit had gone before
From the Rockingham Gazette.
love the memory of that hour,
When first in youth found thee;
For infant beauty gently threw
morning freshness round thee;
A single star was rising there,
With wild and lovely motion;
And scarce the Zephyrs gentle breath
Went DER the sleeping ocean.
love the memory of that hour
1t wakes pensive feeling;
AS when within the winding shell
The playful winds are stealing.
1T tells my heart of those bright years,
Eve I1ope went down in sorrow,
When all the joys of yesterday
Were painted on Tomorrow
Where art thou now? thy once loved flowers
Their yellow leaves are twning;
And bright and beautiful again
That single star is shining.
But where art thou the Blended grass
A dewy stone dscloses;
And loves light footsteps print the ground,
Where all my peace reposes
Farewell! my tears were not for thee,
'Twere weakness to deplore thee;
Or vainly mourn thine absence here,
While angels half adore thee.
Thy days were few, and quickly told;
Thy short and mournfu story
Hath ended like the morning star,
That melts in deeper glory.

The Newfoundland breed make the best water dogs

ducks. Ducks are not TO be toled at all times, nor
