From the ''alskiil Recorder
MY NATIVE TONGUE.

My native tongue--my native tongue
AS when thy fondest accents crept
Upon my spirit, while she sung
Who watched the cradle where slept...
Fen now, though infancy has been
Long mourned, long lost--yet unforgot.
The rapture that thy tones could win,
With all my changes leave me not.
The first soft gush of infant glee,
The trembling pulse and deep delight
Of boyhood, found their vent in thee:
And now, cen the leceding light
Of age would gather back its blaze,
To look again on scenes where sprung
The shouts and songs of those bright DAVIS
And all in thee, my native tongue!
I've learned the tongues of other chimes.
The lore immortal minstrels wrought,
The eloquence of other times,
The might and majesty of thought
Which fettered nations; but the sound
OF Gallick cadences 10 me,
Or Roman music, have not found
One charm to wean my heart from thee,
And beauties like the stars which form
Itala's paradise of night,
Have met me with no power to warm
Fen painting boyhood to delight;
For smile, or blush, or sigh, to move
The spell which fate has DER me flung,
Must break the speechlessness of love
With whispers of my native tongue

BRIDAL SONG.
BY MRS. HEMANs.

Away with the Bride with our daughter away.
From the house of her infant protection,
Where she grew like flower by the sunshine of May.
In the eye of her parents affection:
Where the lisp Of her love came like music at night,
To the powing bosom that fed herr
And the smile of her joy like summer-tde light
On the heart of the father that led her.
Away with the Bride, with our daughter away,
With thy prospects of pleasure before thee;
And OH may she shine like an even-tide ray
Through the shadows of grief that come Ger thee;
And OH may the journey of thee and thy wife
Be like that of thy father and mother;
Who now, at the close of their wearisome life,
Have the beautiful hopes of another

TO SCHOOL TEACHERS.

Never deceive your scholars suffer them to practice de-
ception.
Never promise what you do intend strictly and literally
to perform.
Never threaten what yeu do mean, or what would
be improper to execute.
Never tell your scholars you will off their ears or do
any thing else you do not intend TO do
Never shut up child in dark closet say any thing
that will make him afraid of darkness.
Never allude to mysterious evils, threaten punshmen
from causes that children cannot comprehend.
Never speak to them about the Old Man, the Old Ne
man, the old Harry.
The above maxims are worthy the consideration of every
well disposed person who has with Children and
the utility of abiding by them must be obvious those who
possess any share of consideration.

FOR THE DELAWARE REGISTER.
TO MARIA.


Oh! why should care one moment cloud
A bosom pure as thine,
Or why must sorrows darkening shroud
Be cast on beauty's shrine;
The ides of life, believe me, dear,
That cross thy early way,
Shall fade unmarked with fate or fear
In beams of bliss away.
Then come, Maria, smile again
Suppress that mournful sigh
OF ihrobs the heart with anguish, when
Its hour of bliss is nigh.
Could love, could friendship make thee best,
Or dry afilctons tear,
How soon within thy spotless breast
Would joys bright star appear.

BIZ D. MOORE, GLASGOW.

W
Yes, thou 'rt in earth, but canst not claim
One Wondering atom of its clay;
Thou hast no kindred and no name,
In all its dark decay;
Thou 'rt like thing of some strange cline.
Thrown up from the great sea of time!
If thou could'st speak, deserted one,
I'D ask of thee thy day of birth,
The story of the mighty, gone
WIN thee IN darkness down to earth;
And of thy old and buried town,
Hid many thousand fathoms down.
Where did'st thou steer thy beings bark
Was it Overwhelmed with that wild blast.
When the lone dwellers of the Ark
Saw Nature breathe her last,
And drifting with the ocean foam,
Didst thou find out this rocky home!
And when the deep was backward hurl'd.
Vert thou engulf'd in thy stone cell
A statue of that erring world,
Its awful fate to tell
Has time preserved thee, that thy tale
Ger sceptc fables might prevail?
What were thy old companions !-speakt
Were they of that unblemIshed throng
When from the mountains howery peak
Rose the first voice of song
The sons of Natures infant year.
Who lv'd the lifetime of sphere
Oh, answer! were thy kindred made
Like US, to feel alternately
The griefs that sting-the hopes that fade.
The pleasures that too early die,
And leave the bosom like the tomb,
With ashes for our hopes in booml
And thou didst love some gentle one,
In fe's unclouded summer-day;
Blu she, like thee, is turned to stone,
Or wither'd quite away:
Vet thou hast met her-if there be
A meeting in eternity.
Lone remnant of another race, 5.

THE CONSCRIPT'S FAREWELL.

Farewell father,
had hoped that | should be
In thine age a staff for thee,
But when years have mark d thy bro
When thy step is weak and slow,
When thy hair is thin and white,
And thine eye hath lost its light,
shall never seek thy side,
And thy faltering footsteps guide.
Where my country's banners fly
Proudly meath distant sky,
To the battle forth speed,
There to fight and there to bleed;
MOI because the foeman's lance
Glltters in the wales of France;
Not because strangers mirth
Rises round my fathers hearth;
Not at glory's trumpet call,
Not in freedoms cause to TALL;
But because ambitious power
Tears Inc from my peaceful bower.
Yet amidst the battle strife,
In the closing hours of life,
Think not that my heart shall quail,
Spirit droop, or courage fail.
Who're the boldest deed is done,
Where the laurel wreath is won,
Where the standard eagles fly,
There thy son shall proudly die;
Though perhaps no voice may tell
How the nameless conscript fell.
Thy blessing, father.
Farewell mother,
1t is hard to part from thee
And my tears are flowing free,
While around the gloom of night
Quench d religions blessed light,
Still thou heard'st my lisping voice
In the evening hymn rejoice,
And my childish prayer vas said
Ere thou blest my pillow'd head.
Oh, before | leave thee now,
Place thy hand upon my brow,
And with every treasured word
That my infant ears have heard.
Bless me, mother.
Farewell Brother,
Many an hour of boyish glee
! have passed IN joy with thee;
II with careless word or tongue
have ever done thee wrong,
Think upon thy brothers. lot,
And be all his faults forgot;
Thou may'st dry thy mothers tears,
Sooihe our sisters anxious fears,
Be their shield, their guide, their stay
Throughout many coming day;
Freely with thy father share
All his secret weight of care;
Be what it were mine to be,
Had | still remand with thee;
And love me, brother.
Farewell sisters,
Wonders IS our favorite vine.
You must now its tendrils Irvine,
And when meath its leafy bower
You are met at even hour,
Think how oft in by-past days,
There we walked the song of praise,
III Al your beaming eyes are wet
With the tears of fond regret;
Then together fordly bend,
And your gentle voices blend,
Pray for me, sisters.
