The Two E eLEs.-A negro boy, at work il
q field in GoochIand county, Va. (says the Alex
arJria Gazette,) - was suddenly startled BY
mise in the air, resembling thunder Upon look
ing up to discover whence it proceeded, he saw
two birds at an immense height in the air, engag
ed in desperate combat which mail y brOugh
them to the ground together, with talons inter
locked. He threw himself on them. and Ur,tns
their necks. They were Bald Eagles.
Kings of the air! your wings were free
With thundercloud to roam,
And the rich breath oflibery
Was in your glorious home
You look'd upon our hills with nirth,
Upon our hills and shores;
For we were crawling on the earth,
And heaven itself was yours!
Had We, as troh rs, still soar'd on,
Your wings were a,gging yet;
And the same eyes that hsiPd. at dawn,
Had watch'o the sun, at set.
In strife. yet tore your wings Of might:
For man to mock, We b,ed:
lie trembcd at the Eagles fight,
lie spurns the Eagle dea..!
Ye are an omen four fate,
With nYbler issue rife.
When brotherhond's forgot for hate,
And peaceful love for strife.
frown- low, low our country lies;
A bIow-the funeral pal
When worlds that feard her in her rise,
May tramPle. in her fall!

May Dag. The first day of May; a day con-
secrated to Flora; day of which the village maid
ems had thought, and talked, and dreamed: and
which furnished to them long an occasion OF spor-
tive rivalry for the festive crown. 1t is said to
be peculiarly the season of love. The bird no
longer seeks bis solitary perch, but warbIing forth
natural, and therefore an Ineligible language,
prepares shady nest for himself and his mate,
and the widest animals address themselves to the
protection of other and new claimants upon their
exertions. In the old country. the maidens look
ed forward To it, as time in which the protesta
tons of their swans should be brought to the
test, and the preference which was to color their
future lives should be first publicly manifested;
and the gathering the earliest flowers Of the sea
son. and the erection of the May pole, adorned
with those fragrant offerings, were scenes OF no
small importance, and 10 little rejoicing
An old English writer gives the following &C.
count of the manner in which this day was kept.
:. The after part of May dayis chiefly spent
in dancing round tall Poll, which is called a
May Poll; which being placed in convenient
part OF the village. stands there, as it were GOA
secrated to the Goddess of Flowers, without the
least violation offered to it, in the whole circle Of
the year." One who was an i,npIacsble enemy
TO popular sports relates the fetching in OF the
May from tne WOOuS. Du, say lie, ''their
cheefest jewell they bring home with create ve-
neration, as thus: They have twentie or fourtie
yoke of oxen, every oxe having a sweete nose
gaze OF flowers tyed on the tippe of his hornes and
these oxen drawe home this Male poole, which
is covered all over with flowers and hearbes,
bounde rounde aboute with stringes, from the top
to the bottome, and SOMETIME painted with va
riabe colors, with twoo or three hundred men.
women. and children following, with Create de-
votion. And thus beyng feared up with hand
kerchiefes and fagges streaming on the toppc,
they strawe the srounde aboute, binde greene
boushes aboutit, sett up Sommer haues, Bow
ers. and Arbours hard by it. And then fall they
TO banquet and feast, to Ieape and daunce aboute
it, as the Heather people did at the dedication
of their Idolles, whereof this is perfect patternc
or rather the thyng ITSELF"
The May.po!e is UP.
Now give the cup,
