peculiar ditfidence, arising from co.'s

occasion, to congratulate you on the
annual return of that ever memorable
day which spoke into existence this

liberty. And although, Fellow Citi-

in the arts OF civilization which is with

and which is utterly astounding to the
monarchists of,he oriental hemjsp here.

was written by the illustrious John
Adams, on the day succeeding that on
which the declaration Of independence
was passed. No one can read it with

of patriot, aud the determination Of
one ready at any time to sacrifice his
all in defence Of the cause he had es-
poused. Its predictions are verified

BEAUTY FADES.

BY J. N. MUTTON.
Bind this rose upon thy brow.
This little rose Of June;
Like il thy brow will fade l know,
And il may be as soon.
Summer hues have lent thy cheeks
The besuty ofthis fow'r;
But like its leaves, thy loneliness
May wither in an hour.
Beauty's bloom is like the rose.
A distinguishing thing;
A sun too warm, or winds too bleak,
Its hour ofdoom may bring.
I've seen. and wept as have seen.
The beautiful and gay,
Whose life had been dream Of bliss,
Pass suddenly away.
The rogue Of heath was on her cheek,
Morn haipd it's vermil glow;
But ere the evenings dusky hour,
Stern death had laid her low.
I've seen the snow white winding sheet
Enfold form as white;
It,lay upon the shseted board.
Like marble in my sight.
Thus pass the beautiful away,
As morning clouds at noon (;
Leila, thy blooming may be like
This little rose of June.

THE POLISH LOVERS.

wood of the gibbett; his only glory shall
be the tears of women and the long con.
versations of bis countrymen.
MIcKIEwIcz.
On the beautiful banks of the Dn-
ester, in Podolia, stands the ruins Of
an ancient castle. The remains ofits
grandeur remind US OF former days of
happiness and glory, aud its ruins of
misfortunes, and Of war. Two years
since it was still inhabited but it stands
now, lone and deserted monument.
The dogs howl at its once hospitabe
doors, and no sound echoes through
its desolate halls but the scream of the
owl.
One morning the sun rose brightly,
enlightsning once more the old man
sion, and painting with the golden CO.
lours the alleys Of the garden, The
birds were awake on the trees, prais-
ing, in low voice, the glory Of their
Maker: but in summer-house sat a
yet gentler and loyelier bird, the sweet
Halina Of the castle. Her voice har-
monlzed not with the merry no,es Of
the birds around her, it was more ten
der and sorowful.
HALlNA'S SONG.
Tomorrow shall sparkle the glorious
And tomorrow my love will be on to the
war,
Ais dark eye will brighten to meet with
the foe,
But he leaves my lone heart in the dark,
ness of wo,
And tomorrow, perhaps, he will rest in
the grave,
And no one will weep DER the tomb of
the brave;
On this sad heart shall bleed for the
doom of my love,
But never from the grave can his ashes
remove.
p, chance on that banner the last gift of
ID. mine,
His last sigh shall linger, his last glance
shall shine,
When he sleeps in the tomb DER his ASH

A relict of love,o the tomb of the brave.
And yet he will perish, and perish for
thee,

And my love and my life l lay on thy

Important Military arrangement.
From an authentic source we learn
that the President of the United States
has requested Governor DUNKLIN TO
accept the services of one thousand
volunteers, for the protection of our
Western frontier. This requisition is
made in compliance with the recent act
of Congress, authorizing the President
to accept the services OF ten thousand
volunteers, in case of Indian hostili.
ties. Gen. ATKINSON, to whom the
protection OF the Northwestern frontier
has been confded, is authorised by the
Secretary Of War 10 call upon the Go !,
vernon for the service Of these volun-
teers. With this auxiliary, and the
disposition already made of the regu-
lar forces al the frontier posts, it is be-
lieved that peace will be preserved a.
mong the tribes located on our borders.
We may shortly 'look GU, for squalls
on our own frontier. The same fierce
