Are passing away from their hsppiest prime,
And age steals the tnts from life g sunnest flowers,
10 aid him in weaAing garland for time;-
When the many dull cares which environ US here
Are pressing their incubus weight on the mind,-
Fo, the pleasures that leave as we scarce find q
tear
In gladness for those which still linger behind.
IT'S thus that in times of the dreariest gloom,
The heart finds balm for Its and its sorrow
In rejecting tina. mid all its griefthere is room
To think Of the bliss it may have on the morrow.
And, again, when the trials Of life are severe,
And death and disease stalk abroad in the land.
IT'S Joyful TO know that our lessons Of fear
Are lessons dealt out by mercltul hand!

be salutary,
The Poles.-The brig Hope. of Portsmouth,

on board young Pole, son of Baron Ke moroske,
who has been concealed in Memel four months,
the police there having orders from the govern

to give them up to the Russian authorities, By

A most serious riot took place on the 18th uit.

the Protestants and Catholics of this vicinity II
would appear that few Protestant families, by
.he. name Of Wilson, were celebrating the 18th
July, together with man Of the name of Suli.
van, called King Of the Catholics Of Pcton.-
Sullivan kept with the Wilson's all the forepart
of the day, and very frequently urged them to
take more freely of the intoxicating bowl, until,
it would appear, he thought them mellow enough
for his purpose He then persuaded them TO
come out and walk round the hill beyond the
bridge, which they did; but as soon as they reach
ed the summit of the hill, they were met by a
large party of Catholics, we'll prepared with
stones, who commenced an attack upon the Pro.
testants.
general battle Immediately ensued between
the two parties, which was fought with all the des-
peratlOn that can possibly be imagined. The prn.
cipal weapons OF the Catholics were stones, not
w,hstandng they had provided themselves with
a loaded musket and fixed bayonet, but fortunate.
! ly it wrested from one Of them, in time to
prevent its contents from being discharged at any
person. The riot lasted considerable time.
before it could be queled by the authorities of
the place. One or more of the PrOtestants was
left by the Catholics, supposed to be dead; but
all are. we are happy to state, recovering from
their wounds, but one, and it Is generally thought
impossible that he will get the better Of it. Five
of the principals were made prisoners the same
ev enng and next dav underwent an examination
before the magistrates of this village. They were
committed to Kensinston gaol, there to await
their trial at the ensuing sessions.-Haitopeh
