MOOnshine.

A Sketch from Marryats's NOUels.
Those who have visited the British West
India possessions, must have been amused
with the humor and cunning which occa-
sionally appear in negro more endowed
than the generality of his race, particularly
when the master also happens to be hu-
morist. The swarthy survitor seems to re-
feet his patrons absurdities; and having
thoroughly studied his character, ascertains
how far he can venture to take Liberties
without fear Of punishment. One ofthese
strange specimens | once met with in ne
gro called MoOnshine, belonging to a per-
son equally strange in his own way who
had for many years, held the situation of
harbour-master at Port Royal, but had then
retiredon pension, and occupied small
house at Ryde in the Isle of Wright. His
name was Cookie, but he had long been
addressed as Captain Cookie, and this bre-
vet rank he retained until the day of his
daaths In person he was very large and
siat-not unlike a cookie in shape: so round
were his proportions and so unwieldly, that
it appeared much easier to roll him along
from once place to another than that he
should walk. Indeed, locomotion was not to
his taste; he seldom went much further
than round the small patch which was in
front Of his house, and in which he had
some pinks, and carnations, and chrysan-
thems, of which he was not little proud
His head was quite bald, smooth and shi-
ming white; his face partook ofa more ro-
seate tint, increasing in depth till it settled
into an intense red at the tip Of his nose.
Cookie had formerly been master of
merchant vessel, and his residence in
warm climate had contracted a habit Of po-
tation. which became confirmed during the
long period of his holding his situation at
Port ROYAL. He had purchased Moonshine
for three hundred dollars, when he was a.
bout seven years old, and upon his return
to England, had taken him with him.
Moonshine was very much attached to
his master, very much attached to having
his own way, and was, further, very much
attached to his masters grog bottle.
The first attachment was virtue, the
second human nature, the third, in the opin-
ion of old Cookie, a crime Of serious mag
nltude. / very often called upon Captain
Cookie, for he had quaint humOr about
him that amused land, ,as heseldom wentout,
he was clad to see any Of his friends. An
other reason was, that seldom went to the
house without finding some entertainment
n the continual sparring between the mas
6ar and the man. ! was at that time en-
pioved in the preventive service, and my
stallion was about four miles from the resi-
dance Of Cookie. One morning stalked
in and found him, as usual, in his little par
losir on the ground floor.

THE POOR LITTLE MAID.

When poor girl feels her senses astray,
Cannot sleep on her pillow, nor rest all the day
Sees form still pursue her do all she can,
And this form should be that of handsome
young man,
Sly neishbors will whisper then, odlaok-a-day
The poor little maids in very sad way!
When other own friends she begins to grow shy
When she speaks very seldom, and speaks with
n sigh;
When, though witty or wise, she appears like a
Ounce,
And people wonder what's come to the girl
all at once,
Sly neighbors will whisper then, good lack-a day

TO GENERAL JACKSON.


Dear General: There is not man in
these United States who likes you better
than | do-not man who would go farther
to serve you. But | do not like you well
enough to worship you, or to admire your
faults, or to conceal them. The truth is
you are an honest, well meaning, independ-
ent, heroic, patriotic old man: there are
your virtues all told. But you are petulant,
credulous, inconsistent, easily duped, des-
perate. You have done the country much
service. Your opposition to the tariff, (bet-
ter if it had been earlier,) your veto Of the
Bank Bill, your resistance Of the internal
Improvement system, were measures which
cover you with honor. And you have done
the country much disservice. Your prOcla-
nation, your seizure of the public money,
your dispersion of it amoung swarm Of
rickety, crazy, irresponsible Banks, your
electioneering, your tampering with Slate
Legislatures, your abuse Of the franking
privilege, and lastly and most Of all, your
patronage of caucuses, cover you with dis
grace. Now all this, yOu and know to be
honest truth; and the whole tribe Of misera-
BILE, awning sycophants, who crouch at
your your feet, also known it to be true,
though the white livered, contemplate,
wretches, care too little for the country, to
acknowledge il.
| have given you this proofof my candor,
the better to recommend to your considera
ton the following proposition:--
We have just closed, you know cam
'paign IN Florida, which, somehow or other,

comb fastened to the scene Of action as fast
as dFamaIist who had to pass halfa do
zen lheatres by the way, could; but still
no'hng consequence was done. This
campaign cost the Government more than a
millpn of dollars; what will be the cost be-
toreits object is accomplished no human
beng can tell-two millions more at least.
As hls was a war for United States terrific
ry alones the United States should have
been permitted to manage it in their own
way, without any interference on my part.
BF your elcellency knows that we have
now got into another very respectble Indian
wir, in which Gerogia and Alabama are
exclusively interested. If this be conduct
edas the other has been it will certainly
uosl much more, as the Creeks are stronger
thaa the Seminoles-four millions at the
Vert lowest calculation.
Now, my proposition is, to take this war
upon contract. If the General Government
viii pay me eight hundred thousand dollars
in good hard money, (drafts on pet banks
viii not be received,) will engage with
out any .'ertrG GlloWances'1 to drive every
Creek out ofthe two States, in less than six
months. | will just take couple of cotton
epauletted ColoneIs, out of our pine woods,
with as many regiments, from our buckle
berry swamps, and I'll make every copper
aced, rascal of an Indian, scamper out of
he nation like rabits from woods fire; (fI
you'll close the contract, before huckleberry
season is over, that may not have to buy
'rovisions) III engage that every one of
ny soldiers gets home, time enoughto to make
crop of peas and potatoes, and with three
hundred dollars in his pocket. My boys
Will give 'em none Of your wine drinking,

ont want any imported Generals, to learn
IS how to fight Indians. We learned a
title abont that at Braddock's defeat. Just
and over your war to us COW drivers, and s
OF US manage itin our own way, and we'll

When twilight spreads her starry veil
Or daFksome grove and dewy lawn,
Ere the last beam ofsplendor fail,
From the suns car OF radiance drawn;
And ere the parting God Of day,
On oceans farthest waves reclined,
In tranquil glory fades away,
While hush'd eachsound and still'd each wind
Say, in the holiest, calmest hour
Of peace divine, DER land and sea,
While CLEANS each cloud and breathes each
flower
With incense to the Deity:
What spirit haunts yon lonely wood,
Or sails along the glowing air?
What genius glides O'er yonder food,
And fills our thought with silent prayerl
Oh! not of earth those gentle powers,
Revealed before our mental sight,
Whose breathing presence nature dowers
With holier beauty, fairer light;
Sent down to mortals from yon skies,
And for no transient raptures given,
Around Devotion's course they rise,
And aid her in her fight to heaven.

taking the bear with both hands, relieved
honest Dobson from his pIedicament. The
hands of the latter, tho sadly stiffened by
the tenacity with which they had been
clenched for so many hours, were soon
brandishing the axe and he apparently
made all preparations for giving the deadly
blow-and a deadly blow it would have
been, had he struck. But to the surprise
of Sleeper, he did not strike; and to his
further CONSERVATION, Dobson swung the
axe upon his shoulder, aud marched a
way, whistling as he went, with as much
apparent indifference as the other had
shown when coming to his relief.
1t was now SIeeper's turn to make the
forest vocal with his cries. In vain he raw
ed, and called, and threatened. Dobson
walked OIL and disappeared, leaving his
friend as sad prospect for his breakfast as
himself had for his supper.
To relieve the suspense of the reader, it
is right to add, that Dobson returned and
killed the bear in the course of the afternoon.

THE SOLDIERS WIFE.

1t is now many years since the first bat
talon of the 18th regiment of foot, under
orders to embark for India,-that far dis
tant land, where so many of our brave
countrymen have fallen victims to the eli
mate, and where so few have slept in what
soldiers call the &" bed of glory,"-were as
sembled in the barrack-yard of Chatham,
to be inspected previously to their passing
on board the transports which lay moored
in the Downs.
1t was scarcely daybreak when the merry
drum and fife were heard over all parts OF
the town, and the soldiers we're seen sallying
forth from their quarters, to join the ranks,
with their bright firelocks on their shoul-
d RS, and the knapsacks and canteens fas-
tened to their backs by belts as white as
snow. Each soldier was accompanied by
some friend or acquaintance, or by some
individual with dearer title to his regard
than either; and there was strange and
sometimes whimsical mngling of weep
ing and laughing among the assembled
groups.
The second battalion was to remain in
e Igland; and the greater portion of the
division were present to bid farewell to their
old companions in arms.-But among the
husbands and wives, uncertainty, as to their
destiny, prevailed; for the lots were yet to
be drawn--the lots that were to decide
which Of the women should accompany the
regiment, and which should remain behind.
Ten Of each company were to be taken,
and the chance was to be the only arbiter,
Without noticing what passed elsewhere,
Q ,nfned my attention to that company
which was commanded by my friend Cap.

The boys gave instructions to their intel
ligent dog, who, they said, would take good
care of the sheep during their absence and
in few minutes the soldier and his young
companions reached the gate of a flourish
ing farmhouse, which had all the external
tokens of prosperity and happiness. The
younger boy trottsd on few PAGES before,
to give his parents notice that they had in-
vited stranger to rest beneath their hos
pitable roof; and threshold of the door
when he was received by joyful cry ofre
cognition from his old friends, Henry Jen-
kis and his wife and he was welcomed as
a brother to the dwelling Of those, who, in
all human probability, were indebted tc
him for their present enviable station.
Ii is unnecessary to pursue this story
further than to add, that John Carly spen,
his furlough at Eldenby farm and that, al
the expiration of it, his discharge was pur.
chased by his grateful friend. He is now
living in their happy dwelling; and his care
and exertions have contributed greatly to in
crease their prosperity. Nothing has beer
wrong with them since John Carly was
their steward.

About twelve months since, as two boys
were watching the sheep contided to their
charge, upon wide heath in the county oi
Somerset, their attention was attracted by
soldier, who walked along apparently with
much fatigue, and nt length stopped to rest
his weary limbs beside the old finger-post,
which at one time pointed out the way to
the neighboring villages, but which now
afforded no information to tie traveller; for
age had rendered it useless.
The boys were gazing upon him with
much curiosity, when he beckoned them
toward him, and inquired the way to the
village of EIdenby.
The eldest, a fine, intelligent lad, ofabout
twelve years of age, pointed to the path,
and asked if he were going to any particu-
lar house in the village.
"No, my little lad" said the soldier,
"but it is on the road to Frome, and have
friends there but, in truth, am very wear
led, and perhaps may find in yon village
some person who will befriend poor fell
low, and look to God for reward"
Sir" said the boy, -" my father was q
soldier many years ago, and he dearly loves
to look upon red coat. IL you come
with me, you may be sure of welcome"
" And you can tell us stories about fore
ign parts" said the younger lad, fine,
chubby-chceked fellow, who, with his
watch-coat thrown over his shoulder, and
hIs crook in his right hand had been ninu-
tely examining every poruon Of the soldiers
dress.
