It would be impossible for me to describe
the restless delight which experienced du-
ring the time that preceded my departure, or
the feelings which attended our separaton.-
As to myself, not speck appeared in the
bright horizon of my hopes, till one day the
sisters received letter from their father, with
an order that they should return Immediately
to the city, as he expected a visit from the
Lord of s.. The younger said to me,
THAT Lord is man who is no favourite of
mine. Take care you do nothing to displease
him, for his will is my fathers Upon hear
ing this, some unpleasant suspicious began to
rise in my mind; but upon asccrtaining that
the person she spoke of was married man,
my fears vanished in an instant. Well, accOr-
ding to their fathers desire we went to the
city, and was shortly after introduced to the

went up stairs to relieve the children and the
woman, (Mrs. Haskins) who were sleeping
together. He found it impossible for them to
make their escape by the staircase he then
dropped the children from the chamber win
dow, and jumped out after them, calling to
Mrs. HaskinS to follow him she appeared at
the window, and Immediately sunk back into
the smoke and flames, and was seen no more,
until her bones were gathered from the ruins.
The night was extremely cold, and Mr.. and

day, small iron cannon was brought on the

ventured contrary to the warning of his friends
to discharge the piece. His te1nerity proved
( fatal to him. The bursting of the cannon tore
his legs and part of his body literally in pie
ces, SO that he survived the accident only 3
hours. The near view of death caused an ag-
Ony of mind not less acute than that which
he suffered in his body. He cried nightly
to that God, whom he had hitherto despised
and blasphemed, to pardon and accept him:
and he warned and admonished those about
him to prepare to meet their God, that their
last end might not be like his.

an income in tolls of 100000 or about

THE LAST MAN.

ALL worldly shapes shall melt in gloom,
The Sun himself must die,
Before this mortal shall assume
Its Immortality!
saw vision in my sleep,
That gave my spirit strength to sweep
Adown the gulf of Time!
/ saw the last of human mould,
That shall Creations death behold,
As Adam saw her prime!
The Suns eye had a sickly glare,
The Earth with age was wan,
The skeletons of nations were
Around that lonely man!
Some had expired in fight,-the brands
Still rusted in their bony hands;
In plague and famine some!
Earth's cities had no sound nor tread;
And ships were drifting with the dead
To shores where all was dumb
Yet prophet-Iike, that lone one stood,
With dauntless words and high,
That snook the sere leaves from the wood
As ifa storm pass'd by,
Saying, We are twins in death, proud Sun,
Thy face is cold, thy race is run,
TITS Mercy bids thee go,
For thou ten thousand Thousand years
Hath seen the tide of human tears,
That shall no longer flow.
What though beneath thee man put forth
His pomp, his pride, his skill;
And arts that made fire, food and earth,
The vassals of his will 49,
Yet mourn not thy parted sway,
Thou dim discrowned king of day;
For all those trophied arts
And triumphs that beneath thee sprang,
Heard not passion or a pang
EntaiI'd on human hearts.
Go, let ObliNion's curtan fall
Upon the stage Of men,
Nor with thy rising beams recall
Life's tragedy again.
It's piteous pageants bring not back,
Nor waken flesh, upon the rack
Of pain anew to wrthe;
Stretched in diseases shapes abhorr'd,
Or mown in battle by the sword,
Like grass beneath the scythe.
Ev'n am weary in yon skies
To watch thy fading fire.
Test of all sunless agonies,
Behold not me expire.
Ny lips that speak thy dirge of death
Thy rounded gasp and girgIlng breath
To see thou shalt not boast.
The eclipse of Nature spreads my PAIL
The Majesty Of Darkness shall
Receive my parting ghost
This spirit shall return to Him
That gave its heavenly spark;
Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dim
When thou thyself art dark
Ne! it shall live again, and shine
In bliss unknown to beams of thine,
BY Him recalI'd to breath,
Who captive led captivity,
Who robb'd the grave Of Victory
And took the sting from Death
Go. Sun, while Mercy holds me up
On Natures awful waste,
TO drink this last and bitter cup
OF grief that man shall taste
Go tell the night that hides thy face,
Thou saw'st the last of Adams race,
On Earth's supulchral clod,
The darkening universe defy
To quench his Immortality,
Or shake his trust in God!
