Thou too art gone, thou loved and lovely one. "
DIKON.
/ trod my own bright home last night;
The breeze was fresh, the iowret fair;
All stood enwrapped in fairy light
Thou vert not there.
Soft woke my childhood's careless chord,
And wreaths we did together Irvine,
And deep, sweet murmuring voices poured
All, all but thine.
The merry lights flashed sunshine then,
And hearts were there in primal glee;
heard the thrilling notes again,
And turned for thee.
There gushed the stream, there blushed the
grove,
All bright affections haIowed spot,
And bonnd with thousand links of love-
But thou vast not,
Oh, parted far! yet fancy's chain
Clings close through many cloud and care
And when my night homo wakes again,
Oh, meet me there

TO THE LOVED ONE

Come mine own gentle wife, the stars,

And meath their light we'll seek the SPOT
To thine and mine heart so dear

So often at nights sober noon
Hath hid thy bushes from the gaze
VI that same tell.tale dame-the Moon.
Come, let us meath these watching stars
Seek out that we'll beloved glade,
Where, in ser forgotten hour,
my heart to mine its loved betrayed
Wncre, too, an answering VOW was sworn,
when, too, an answering pledge was given
he glorious witnesses-the stars;
The over-arching temple-Heaven.
And has that vow been broken, love9
That sacred pledge been e'er BETRAYED?
Think'st thou this proud answering heart
Hath e'er forgot Its mountain maid!
Ihink'st thou it hath forgot one star,
Or tree, or rivulet, or flower,
Ihat looked upon the dear delight
vi that, thy souls confession-hour
No! by those ever-burning lights,
Thine eyes-by that unsuliec fame,
Thy breast-my hope can never know
Transition, or my love stain.
Dream not of fearful doubt or change,
My bosom's dearest, priceless store
Estranged from thee oh never breathe
whisper of such anguish more.
Bless thee ! my young and sinless bride
Thou, my hearts earliest, dearest Joy
Thou, my loves first and only pride,
Bless thee tho mother of my boy!
solace and hope art thou,
A blessing and help to me

DUELs. We find the following article
on duels in the Salem Gazette, and are
disposed to commend the custom of the
Greenlanders to the favorable notice of all
such as feel an inclination to heal their
wounded honor with an application of
"villainous saltpetre LotUeu Journal.
We read, that it is the custom in Green
land, when man considers himself agriey-
ed in any way by another, to challenge his
opponent to public rhyming bout, at
which the friends of both parties assemble
in large numbers, as auditors and Judges.
The injured party commences the combat
by reciting, soto Uoce, all the ridiculous cir
cumstances he can think of in relation to
his opponent, growing piu allegro piu forte
as he advances, till want of breath compels
him to close. His adversary then stakes
up the wonderous tale" dexterously shifting
the laugh back again, till he also is compel-
ed to stop, when the first performer recon-
mences. And so the contest goes on till
the wit or the wind of one party is exhaust
ed. and the other marches off in triumph.
1t must be acknowledged that this is a very
sensible and excellent method of deciding
a quarrel, as it allows a man to live and
fight another day"-whereas,
"He who is in battle slain;
Can never live to fight again"
In Japan, when man has received an
insult, and honor pricks him on to avenge
it, he takes a sharp knife in his hand, and
repairs forthwith to his adversary's house,
and there, before his face, rips open his
own bowels which example no man Of
| honor in that country dares refuse to follow
/ Tn both
This mode of duelling should be recon-
mended to the duellists of our own country
1t is certainly better, when a man is con-
scious of becoming such public or private
nuisance as to desife to die, that he should
! rip up his own bowels, than to procure
another to do it for him: and it may be q
matter of wonderment, that among all the
refnements in the mode of duelling, to
show the spirit of the combatants, such as
| fighting muzzle to nuzzle, &C., the Japan.
I csc fashion has never been adopted. TIC
take ones own life seems not only to be q
less offence against society than to take
| the life of another, but it is sure mode o.
saving the necessity of public execution
and as every man must know best what are
his own deserts, who can assert chat the
felo-de-se has not done himself peffec,
Justice. 1t was probably some such view
of the practice Of duelling which induced
Marius, the Roman General, 20 send bach
the following reply, to challenge sent hin
by Gaul. Z" If he is DESTROYS to die, lie,
him hang himself" But in truth, the Gus.
tomaty mode of duelling is mere gasconade
Each duellist hopes either that his antago
mist will skulk out, or that he himself bJ
superior skill or good luck shall escape ani
acquire additional consequence. How
wofully disappointed and panied with regret
when MORALLY wounded, and the world j:
vanishing away!

SPANISH FoRMAIITY. The Duke of Al

General of the Galeys, twice Grandee, the
First Gentleman of his Majesty's Bedcham-

LOGIC. The following is pretty good
hit at the readiness with which the most
absurd sophistry is too often swallowed
down 10y the inconsiderate multitude
Every cat" said shrewd logfcian one
day TO a multitude who had assembled to
hear him lecture, "has three tails" AT
this declaration all were apparently aston
ished. Sand l can prove it." he continued,
beyond the doubt of every man present"
|" And how" asked the gaping multitude.
"WeI," continued he, no cat has tOo
tails" "Very true" replied the multitude.
"Then every cat has one tail more than no
cat" "Tr"o again, {" replied they Then,
as no cat has taUO tails, and every cat has
one more than no cat, then must sueru cat
have three tails" The multitude were con-
vlnced he was right, in spite of both their
reason and their senses, and not until thew
had actually examined their cats could they
be undeceived.

THRILLING SToRY. An extraordinary
story is told by Captain Wallace, of lover
and his mistress, who were saved in a sim
gUlar manner from the jaws of shark. A
transport, with part of regiment on board,
was sailing with gentle breeze along the
coast of Colney one of the officers was
leaning over the poop railing conversing
with a young lady who had inspired him
with the tender passion. The fair was in
the cabin, and in the act of handing a pa
per to her lover, when, overreaching her.
self, she fell into the sea, and, supported
by her clothes, driited astern; the officer
lost no time in puuging in after her, and
upheld her with one arm. The sails were
quickly backed, the ship lay to, and prepar-
atoms were made to lower boat, when.
to the dismay of all on board, large shark
appeared from under the keel of the vessel,
and gliding towards his victims; shout of
terror from the agonized spectators called
the attention of the officer to the approach
ing danger; he saw the monsters fearful
length nearing him; he made a desperate
effort, plunged and splashed the water SO
as to frighten the shark, who turned and
dived out of sight. The current had now
carried the officer and the lady close to the
vessel; then the shark appeared second
time along side, and was in the act of turn
ing on his back to seize one of the hapless
pair, when private of the officers compa-
ny, who was standing in the hammock net
tings, jumped fearlessly overheard with a
bayonet in his hand, which he plunged into
the back of the shark, which, Instantly dis
appearing, the three were released from
their perilous situation.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. An old man.
residing in the neighborhood of Glasgow
lately found, in corner of his cottage. a
miniature of his wife, taken in his youthful
days. Although of strictly sedate and re-
ilgious habits, and althong Oh his wife had
been many years dead, the effect which the
miniature had on him was singular and sur
prlsIDg. From the moment of its discovery.
until his death, which took place some
months afterwards, he neglected all his or
binary duties and employments, and became
IN manner imbecile, spending whole DAYS
without uttering word, or betraying the
slightest interest in passing occurrences.
The only one with whom he would at all
hold communication, was a little grand
child, who bore remarkable likeness to
the portrait, and to whom he was perfectly
doclle. A day or two before his death, he
gave this grand child his purse, accompa-
MED with strict injunctions that she would
privately lay the picture in the coffin beside
him, which she accordingly did, although
not without consulting her friends, as she
had no opportunity Of doing so otherwise.

RICHES. AS despicatle as riches may
appear in some peoples eyes, and as little
worthy to be pursued for their own sakes,
yet they serve to relieve US from many wants
and suffe7ings to which human nature is ex-
posed; they enable men to do acts of kind
ness and compassion to others, and by this
means make them taste the generous pleas
ure of relieving the needy and distressed ;
and IN Short they are things without which
very few saiisfactions of any kind are to be
obtained; but as they are not good in them
selves, but only the means of procuring what
is really good, and all the advantage lying
IN right use and application of them, ii
follows that to pursue and admire them, as
excellent in themselves, without any view
to their use, is altogether ridiculous and alb
surd; it is employing all our endeavors to
obtain the means, and at the same time
neglectlng the end.-.Nstleton on Virtue and
Happiness.

tits a melancholy truth that, as we arrive
at mature age. and plunge into the vortex
of business, old friends THAT is to say the
friends of our YOUTH and youthful associa-
tons are forgotten. The cold hearted
world is our all in all, and how to make two
cents of one is the great, the momentous
desideratum that engrosses all minds, from
the age Of twenty-one to seventy five: then,
alas man discovers that sail these things
are vanity."

CONSCIENCE. An Indian being among
his white neighbors, asked for little to-
bacco to smoke; one of them having some
loose in his pocket gave him handful.
The following day the Indian came back,
nquirng for the donor, saying he had found
quarter of dollar among the tobacco.
Being told that it was given him, he might
keep it, he answered, pointing to his breast,
Z" / got good man and bad man here
and the good man say it ant mine / must
return it to the owner. The bad man say,
why he gave it you, and it is your own
now-the good man say, that not right
the tobacco is yours, not the money; the
bad man say, never mind, you got it, GO
buy some dram; the good man say, no, no
you must not do so; so don't know what
to do, and think go sleep; but the good
man and the bad man keep talking all
night, and trouble me, and now bring the
money back, / feel good"
