Think not that love thee as once loved,
In the hours Of my early devotion;
That the dreams my spirit so fondly proved
| Live on with their deeper emotion,
Youths cherised visions, so pure and bright
From my bosom have silently parted,
Like meteor that flashing across the nigh,
From tho face of the earth has departed.
And ! can meet the with placid brow,.
With look like thine own, unaltered
Thou wilt read no GRIFFIN my accents now,
Which had once in thy presence faltored.
Thy lip will smile, and thy cheek be fair,
Thy voice be as sweet as ever,
But to me tina. forehead and cheek can wear
Their earlier look - oh never
loved thee then-as boyhood can love,
The spells that around it hover,
Or the one bright form that alone can move,
Till its earliest dreams are over,
hardly deemed thee thing of earth,
But a star, Ger my pathway beaming-
Forgot in each moment Of wilder mirth,
Reserve for each holier dreaming.
Yet hast thou worshipped at fashions shrine
With heart for her pleasures yearning,
And the artless feelings which once were
thine,
Have pershed before their burning.
The soul which fanced too pure thing,
Too costly for man to win it,
Hath lost that gentle untroubled spring,
Which existed so quietly In it.
And still doth memory turn to thee,
And the beauty that dwelt around thee,
Its brightness and innocence guarded me
From the fancles that might have bound
me.

Though my spirit be sad und lonely
For the sweetest hours which have blen.
ded my fate,
have owned to thy presence only.

A GOOD STORY.

ne follOwing Snake story IS related
by correspondent of the Providence
Patriot -
81 have lately noticed)a snake story,
going the rounds in the papers, in which
it is stated that snake having been cut,
into three pieces, the head and tnil were
rejoined, to the exclusion of the middle
part, and moved off as if his snakeship
was unconscious Of having been depriy-
ed ofany part of bis corporation. do
not refer to this story because l doubt
its truth, for it is an every day occur
renee, and there are some species of
snakes that have all their joints marked
and numbered so that if any of them
happen to be severed from each other,
they 60 to work and replace them with
the same accuracy as carpenter would
the lemons and mortices of house
frame. have frequently seen snakes
cut up into pieces not more than an inch
long; and in less than five minutes af-
terwards. seen them running off at full
speed, and in every respect as perfect in
their appearance, as though nothing
had happened tn them ! but the rattle
snake aud the black snake, not being
acquainted with marks and numbers,
are sometimes liable to sad mistakes in
this respect one of which, l once wit
messed. fell in with one of each, of
those species of reptiles near to each 9TH
er. The rattle snake had coied his tail
around small branch, in the act of
sprnging at him, made such a furious
lounge, that in uncoiling himself, he
snapped in two in the middle ! The
black snake. in throwing himself out Of
the reach ofthc enemy, keeping his hold
on the bush at the same time, performed
the evolution with so much force and We
locily, that he suffered the same fate -
Each ofthe heads, forgetting for the mo-
ment its hostile feelings, scrambled for
a tail. But, in their haste the two heads
backed up to each other, and the mo-
ment they came together they were com
petely united. Here was a dilemma !;
one head supposed itself united to its
tail, made movement to be off; the
other supposing the same thing, made a
similar attempt-but as one was pulling
one way, and the other another way,
the more they tried, the more they could
not do it; until at length they pulled
themselves apart !-Another attempt
was made, when by another sad mistake,
the rattle snake took possession of the
tail of the black snake, and the black
snake that of the rattle snake, who be-
ing unused to the appendage Of the rat
ties, became very much alarmed at their
unwanted noise, supposing the rattle
snake to be close to his heels, and aciu.
ally ran himself to death, TO escape
from his imaginary pursuer The rat

brandished his stolen tail, but without
effect until discovering the fatal error,
he swelled, bursted, and died of sheer
rage and modification

Wonderful Flcas exhibiting in Lon
doa.-However we may be astonished d
at such exhibitions as that we are about
to describe, we cannot but be gratified
when we recollect that these unnatural
tricks must have been the result of some
cruel species of discipline. The exhibi-
ton of what are termed tile industrious
Fleas," in Regent-street, London, is
certainly one of the most extraordinary
that ever was witnessed. 1t is thus de-
scribed in one of the London papers -
"There is In the first instance the siege
of Antwerp, in which fleas enact the
parts of beseigers and boseIged. Gold
canpons, mortars, &c. about the size of
pins, are discharged at aud from the cit
adel by fleas, on the one side led by Mar
shall Gerard, and the other by Baron
Chasse, who nrc both mounted on gigan-
tic fleas, or to use the more appropriate
phrase, upon regular troopers. In Il
ball room of proporlionate dimensions,
four heas go through the mazes of the
dance like any four well bred ladies and
gentlemen, while twelve fleas are dis
trbuted at the orchestra, employed as
it were, in playing different instruments.

plete harness, with coachman and guard
also fieas, is exceedingly well managed

From the foregoing it is evident that
the laws of Massachusetts still prohib-
tied the people of this colony, from pnr-
chasing arms and ammunition in Mas
sachusetts while even the savages,
were allowed the privilege. 1t is at this
day hard to conceive motive, on their
part, for so unreasonable n restriction.
1t is, however, evident that the settle
mcnts here, must have been crushed In
their infancy by the stronger arm of
the Massachusetts, had it not been for
their fear of the authority in England.

and shaking her head, "what think yol
has occurred ? The Pores dead the
news is stuck up against the church. ,
"Powers above !" cried Peter, "wha
will become of the world :" For Pete
thought the world was governed by the
Pope, and that the everlasting city wa!
the capital of the earth.
"Tbe Pope's gone" thought he, "the
kings dead-the Judge has gone to hi.

Will the sun rise /; We shall no longel
labor, no longer sow, no longer reap, and

Poor fellow he sometimes got hold OF
a newspaper, and remembered often to
have seen "The country in mourning
This phrase now occurred to him-he de"
pcted to himself the whole Of France in
black, and sighed deeply.
His night was almost sIeeplcss at the
first ray of the sun, however, disturbed at
what had happened, and anticipating all
sorts Of disasters, still more fearful, he
went out quietly, and instead Of taking
as usual the way to the fields, he turned
towards the great square.
A spring sun was rising in the horizon;
the flowers covered with dew, were dry
ing themselves, and raising their heads
to the sunbcams; the birds were singing;
the turf had renewed its verdure, and
seemed revived by the freshness of the
night; the sky was clear; the river full,
flowing, and calm; Peter felt his breath
at ease in spite Of himself; he paused
and looked about him.
The tradesmen were opening their
shops, and sweeping the fronts of their
doors;-the mechanics were going to
their work, singing in chorus; the mar
ket was filing with cattle, horses bear
ing baskets and carts; children, milk wo-
men, and soldiers, were walking about
in all directions.
"The deuce" thought Peter, "shail l
be the only one unoccupied? If all the
people are going to work, they know
more of the matter than l do. They
have been told no doubt, as well as |
have that the Pope is dead, yet they
work notwithstanding, and they appear
to do all as usual. The birds sing as
loudly as before, and the children cry as
much as ever"
The worthy laborer reflected for some
time, and then turning towards the piece
of land which he was cultivating, with
his head erect and his mind assured, he
went to his plough like drunkard to his
glass. "Gct up" said he, goading his
OK, cit seems that only the pope, the
king, the Judge, 8 the parson are dead
all the rest OF the world is us we'll as ey-
er."
