mounted an elephant, the motion of which

very different from that of horse. As
the animal moved both feet on the side at

use, is not unlike the body of small gig,
but without head. The native bownah
have far less elevated seat, and are much
more ornamented. At Calcutta, or with

they occasion by frightening horses. Those

peculiarly, which | had never before
heard of; while the elephant is going on,
man walks by his side, telling him where
to tread, bidding him " take care, "-"step
out, " warning him that the road is rough,
slippery, &c. all of which the animal is
supposed to understand, and take his
measures accordingly. The mohout says
nothing, but guides him, pressing his legs
to his neck, on the side to which he wish
es him to turn, urging him forwards with
the formidable goad, and stopping him by
blow on the forehead with the butt-end
of the same instrument. The command
these men have over their elephants is
well known, and circumstance lately
occurred of one of them making sign to
his beast, which was instantly obeyed, to
kill woman who had said something to
offend him. The man was executed be-

Where the fair poplar and the lofty pine,

And where the brook, with purling stream. resoupds
With %bubbling tumult, through its narrow bounds.
here while the dubious fatcs and time permit,
For VINE aud perfumes your commands transmit;
And for Il tiow'ry garland wei compose
The transient blossom of the blusllnng rose.
Soon will you leave your PURCHASED lands, your pride.
Where flows the Tiber with his golden tide;
Your boarded wealth laid up with misers care,
VIII soon descend TO some relentless heir:
Of rich and poor, of mean and royal race,
Stern death will sweep off cvry living trace.
Our ends are all the same: the fatal urn

And soon the boat shall watt us to the shades.
Where everlasting b~anishment pervadea.

That broad, pale forehead's lift of pride
Should take no shameful dye.

Briton! put up thy gold
Nor hope thou thus, by prayer or tbreat,
To go hence free and proud
How family falls the speech of man
Where Gods deep voice is loud!
God and our country !--laIlowed word
Breathe it but in thy heart.
Brlton! then ask us that we bid
Her mortal foe depart.
Within our souls there is a yoicr,
Upon our eyes, a fire,
That leaves to PHYS moan no car.
No glance to low desire.
Our country's wrong--our countrv's I!uDo

We may but read that lightning scroll.
Hear but that thunder call.
We may but meet thee as q foe,
Lead thee, but as a slave;
